As a mother-in-law, Madam Qi knelt down in front of her daughter-in-law in public and shed a few pitiful tears. Some of the onlookers were on Madam Qi's side, but they were a minority.
Seeing her using such despicable tactics to force her daughter, the princess angrily said:
“It’s a joke that Qi Yunfeng has my daughter in his heart.
That bitch Fangfei first drugged my daughter and made her infertile. Then, after she gave birth to a child, she plotted to destroy my daughter's innocence and put her to death.
Qi Yunfeng protected such a vicious concubine like a treasure. Just now, I wanted to kill the bitch, but Qi Yunfeng kept accusing my daughter of protecting this bitch.
Today is the day my daughter divorces her husband, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two families.
As for the things I smashed, you can go to the Ministry of Industry to set a price, and I will compensate you accordingly."
Mrs. Qi found it incredible after hearing this.
"What? Fang Fei is the one who made the county lady infertile? I don't believe it."
The eldest princess was too lazy to explain to her. She just supported her daughter and told her not to worry, that she would find a famous doctor in the world to cure her.
Dan Ruo pretended to be shocked but very strong, looking at the people in Shuntian Prefecture with colorful faces, as if he had just discovered them:
"Gentlemen, is there something important happening at the gate of Duke Qi's mansion?"
Seeing the county lady's words, the legal advisor headed by Shuntian Prefecture could no longer pretend to be dead, regardless of whether it was in public or not.
He wiped the sweat off his face and saluted, "Today, a maid from Duke Qi's mansion told the gambling house that when our concubine Fang Fei was a servant of the county lady, she drugged the county lady and made her infertile. The gambling house owner was frightened and sent the maid to Shuntian Prefecture. Our prefect is here to discuss the situation with the Duke's mansion."
After hearing what Shuntian Mansion said, Madam Qi's kneeling body went limp and she fell to the side, actually fainting.
The eldest princess ignored him and returned home with Danruo and the palace soldiers.
Qi Yunfeng, who was inside the gate, didn't dare to show up and asked someone to carry his mother in. Now he just wanted to find Fangfei to find out.
The people in the capital have already spread the news about what has just happened.
While everyone despised Qi Yunfeng's concubine Fangfei, they were also curious about how beautiful this woman was that Qi Yunfeng was so determined to protect her despite his wife, who was of noble status and had an outstanding appearance.
The news also reached the palace, and the emperor was having a headache. After all, it was not a good thing for the eldest princess to smash and destroy the residence of the ministers. Although there were reasons for it, Yingyang was too impulsive.
Just as I was thinking about it, Princess Yingyang came crying.
The emperor naturally favors the eldest princess. Although they are not from the same mother, Yingyang also grew up following him around and being called "Royal Brother".
But Duke Qi is still a pillar of the country after all. It's just that as the eldest son, he has gone too far in favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife. He doesn't take the emperor's niece seriously, which means he doesn't take the royal family seriously.
Just when he was in trouble, Qi Yunqing asked for a meeting.
The emperor asked the eldest princess to go to the inner room first, and then called Qi Yunqing in.
Qi Yunqing bowed and knelt on the ground, saying, "The Qi family is guilty, and I have come here to apologize."
The emperor's smile didn't reach his eyes. "What crime has the Qi family committed? I heard that the eldest princess almost had the roof of the Duke's Mansion removed."
Qi Yunqing knew that the emperor was speaking in a sarcastic tone out of anger, so he became even more humble: "The Qi family treated the county lady poorly and disrespected the royal family, which is a serious crime. The eldest princess should demolish the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's Mansion was originally granted by the royal family. All land under heaven belongs to the king. The eldest princess was annoyed by Qi Yunfeng, so it was only natural for her to vent her anger in her own home. The Qi family had no objection at all."
After hearing what Qi Yunqing said, the emperor's anger subsided a little, and he laughed and scolded: "The guilty one is Qi Yunfeng, not you."
The implication is that those who should apologize don't come, but those who shouldn't apologize come.
Qi Yunfeng really wanted to come but couldn't leave because Mrs. Qi was unconscious. After he interrogated Fangfei, Fangfei had a miscarriage and went into labor on the spot.
The baby is only six months old, so it is difficult to keep it. Qi Yunfeng was so worried that he didn't even think of asking the emperor to apologize.
But Qi Yunqing would not defend him and never mentioned it.
He continued to bow his head and said respectfully, "Qi Yunqing, as a member of the Qi family, naturally cannot escape. At this moment, I can only think of a solution and do my best to make amends to the Princess and the County Lord."
"Oh, then how do you think we can solve this problem?" the emperor asked playfully.
There are some things the emperor wants to do but cannot take the initiative.
Qi Yunqing said, "First, if a wife is murdered by a concubine (or a servant), she should be dealt with according to the law. If this concubine is dealt with, even if Qi Yunfeng is willing to rekindle his relationship with the county lady, she still has a child. If she harbors resentment towards the county lady in the future, or if she harms her, it will be too late to regret. It is better to grant a divorce."
He must finalize the divorce first.
"Secondly: The Qi family has wronged the County Lady first and is willing to agree to any conditions from the County Lady and the Princess."
