Chapter 375 It Looks Like a Beautiful Misunderstanding

"Nothing, come and sit down." Qu Huaizhi spoke first.

He didn't want Qu Fufeng to know about such an embarrassing thing happening in his family.

But Yang couldn't hold it in any longer.

Before she opened her mouth, tears began to fall. She choked and said, "Fufeng, please save Shuang'er and Nian'er."

"Aunt, what happened?" Qu Fufeng was a little surprised.

He was holding a beautiful woman in his arms last night and didn't care at all what happened outside.

Yang said hurriedly, "The Marquis of Changping's mansion was raided, Shuang'er was exiled, and Nian'er is missing."

"Shut up." Qu Huaizhi didn't expect his wife to tell him the truth at this critical moment.

"Why are you keeping quiet? If you don't let me beg Fufeng, Shuang'er and Nian'er will never come back. Wuuuuu." Yang cried even harder when she thought of the scene she had just seen in front of the Marquis of Changping's mansion.

Her daughter was tortured like a mad woman.

"Okay, let her talk. She's already lost enough face, it doesn't matter if she waits any longer." Qu Hongde said with a sullen face.

After hearing what his father said, Qu Huaizhi shut up silently.

While crying, Yang told what happened yesterday.

Qu Fufeng: ...

Is this second room's brain full of water?

"Grandfather asked you to go and fetch our third cousin last night, but you only went there after taking a nap. You are like eating shit while it's still warm." Qu Fufeng complained helplessly.

Being scolded by a young man, Yang's face turned red in an instant.

But she was thinking about her daughter, so she lowered her attitude and begged Qu Fufeng for help.

"Fufeng, please help your uncle and aunt."

"I will not interfere with Qu Zhishuang. How dare I pick up someone the emperor wants to investigate? Picking her up would mean going against the emperor." Qu Fufeng did not expect to encounter such a terrible thing on his first day of marriage, so his tone was naturally not very good.

"As for Nian'er, she at least called me cousin. I will go and find out her whereabouts."

After hearing this, Yang didn't dare to ask for anything more.

The Qu family's eldest wife and husband were almost pissed off by their unreliable younger brother and sister-in-law.

Such an important matter was delayed for so long that it even delayed them from drinking the new bride's tea.

"Okay, let's meet Fufeng's daughter-in-law first, and we can discuss other things later." Qu Hongde saw that his eldest son and daughter-in-law looked unhappy, so he immediately spoke up to smooth things over.

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Qi Xingwu.

It’s so beautiful, Qu Fufeng is such a blessing to this boy!

This was the consensus of almost all the men present.

Seeing everyone looking at him enviously, Qu Fufeng puffed out his chest proudly.

His wife is the most beautiful woman in the capital, you must be jealous!

Qi Xingwu was already accustomed to people looking at her in astonishment. With a smile on her face, she respectfully followed Qu Fufeng in serving tea to the elders.

It was winter and she was wearing thick clothes. Plus, she had not been pregnant for long, so no one could tell that she was pregnant.

Qi Xingwu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one noticed.

At this moment, the servant suddenly ran in.

"Old lady, the Third Miss has been sent back by the Second Princess's carriage."

"Nian'er? Nian'er is back?" Yang was overjoyed and didn't care about being dignified or not, and ran over with big strides.

"Are you okay? The prince didn't do anything to you, did he?" She pulled Qu Zhinian and checked him up and down.

Qu Zhinian, who had been mentally prepared to enter, froze when he heard this.

Why did her mother ask her this question in front of so many people?

She looked at her family members in panic and found that most of them had sympathy in their eyes, while some also had disgust in their eyes.

Qu Zhinian understood immediately.

They all knew that she had been imprisoned and insulted by that beast Wei Guangzhong.

"What's wrong with you? Say something?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yang became anxious.

I wonder if this child's throat has been damaged by the torture.

"I'm fine." Qu Zhinian thought of what Qu Zhishuang had said, and the look in his eyes towards his mother showed a hint of resentment and indifference.

She pushed Yang away and looked at Qu Fufeng and Qi Xingwu.

"I was not able to witness your wedding, brother and sister-in-law. I wish you a long and happy marriage."

After Qu Zhinian finished speaking, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

In the future, she may never again be able to wait for a husband who is willing to share a loving relationship with her.

"Thank you for your blessing, sister." Upon hearing this, Qi Xingwu smiled and stuffed the bracelet that she had prepared long ago into her hand.

As a woman herself, she knew how difficult it was for Qu Zhinian.

Qu Zhinian was stunned. She didn't expect her new sister-in-law to be so kind.

She saw encouragement in Qi Xingwu's eyes.

Her nose felt sore and tears couldn't help but well up.

She turned to look at her grandfather and fell to her knees.

"Please ask grandfather to make the decision for your granddaughter."

Qu Hongde heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to be trying to commit suicide.

He said, "Well, Grandfather will take care of this matter for you. You can go back to the yard first."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Qu Zhinian nodded and left without hesitation.

"Nian'er, why are you ignoring your mother?" Yang was heartbroken and chased after him.

But Qu Zhinian still pushed her away without hesitation.

When Qu Hongde saw this scene, his brows slightly frowned, and then he looked at Qu Fufeng.

"Come with me to the study."

"Yes, grandfather." Qu Fufeng nodded, comforted Qi Xingwu a few words, and followed.

After entering the study, Qu Fufeng closed the door on his own initiative and then made tea for his grandfather.

Qu Hongde took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You are the emperor's most trusted minister. Why do you think the emperor was so decisive in dealing with the Marquis of Changping? Who do you think the emperor will want to deal with next?"

The corners of Qu Fufeng's mouth twitched.

My grandfather really thought he was the emperor's confidant. At best, he was just a scapegoat. He had no idea what the emperor was thinking.

The heart of an emperor is as elusive as the sea.

After thinking carefully, he replied, "I don't know about my grandfather's question. But I know very well that as long as the Qu family does not commit suicide, my achievements can at least ensure the prosperity and wealth of the Qu family for three generations."

Qu Hongde was stunned and stared at him blankly.

After a long time, he laughed.

"Fufeng, you have really grown up."

He patted Qu Fufeng's shoulder with relief.

"You have already realized that you are a close minister to the emperor. Don't reveal the emperor's thoughts to others casually, even to your family. You are so sensible, and your grandfather will die with peace of mind."

Qu Fufeng:?

What the hell is going on in my grandpa's brain?

It seems like a beautiful misunderstanding.

…

In the court.

The ministers were debating fiercely about the confiscation of property and exile of Marquis Changping.

Someone reported to the emperor that this action was not in accordance with the rules.

How could they allow the princess to lead troops to confiscate the house in the middle of the night? They should have discussed it with everyone in the morning before making a decision.

The emperor's number one lackey, Qu Fufeng, was not here today, and no one jumped out to stop this adult from making dangerous remarks, and everyone agreed.

Soon, the voices blaming Lu Yanshi prevailed.
