Chapter 225: Qian Family Matters
A hint of deep fear flashed in Aunt Yan's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
The head of the Qian family had already fully realized that his daughter-in-law was murdered and his grandson was abandoned the moment he saw the purple-robed envoy take out the poison sac from Concubine Yan's mouth. This matter was no longer just an internal matter of their Qian family.
So, the head of the Qian family made a prompt decision and ordered Qian Dayong sternly: "If Aunt Yan doesn't say it, Dayong, you say it."
Qian Dayong stared at his father's sullen face, sweat pouring down his forehead. He didn't dare to refute him. "My son accidentally killed Niu, and Concubine Yan made up that story to protect him."
"The original intention was to send the baby away to be raised for a few years. It would be best if the baby would gradually forget about the incident and then bring him back. But then... the baby was abandoned. This must have been a misunderstanding."
When the head of the Qian family saw that Qian Dayong was still racking his brains to defend Aunt Yan, the last bit of hope in his heart was completely shattered, and he was finally extremely disappointed with his only son.
But he was his only son after all, connected by blood, and he couldn't bear to leave him alone. He couldn't help but ask with a bit of anger and disappointment, "You raised the baby outside, have you ever seen him?"
"I was afraid of being discovered by you, so I didn't dare go." At this point, Qian Dayong lowered his head, a look of guilt on his face, but he quickly explained eagerly: "But I asked the housekeeper to go. Every time, the housekeeper came back and said that the baby was doing well."
"Is there something about the housekeeper involved here?"
If Qian Dayong's actions only made the head of the Qian family feel deeply disappointed, then when he heard that the housekeeper was also involved, the head of the Qian family's heart was instantly filled with endless fear.
So he subconsciously turned his gaze to the King of Shu, who had the highest status and position among the people present.
Seeing that the head of the Qian family finally realized the seriousness of the matter, the King of Shu's expression eased slightly and he gave him a look.
The law enforcer in embroidered robes below understood what he meant and quickly took out a complete set of information about the Qian family from his pocket and threw it forcefully towards the head of the Qian family.
The head of the Qian family hurriedly took it and read it carefully without blinking, not missing a single word. The fear in his heart became stronger, but at the same time, he felt more relieved.
"Your Highness, can this information be read by my useless son?" After reading it, the head of the Qian family looked up at the King of Shu cautiously and asked in a trembling voice.
The head of the Qian family hurriedly took it and read it carefully without blinking, not missing a single word. The fear in his heart became stronger, but at the same time, he felt more relieved.
"Sir, can this information be read by my good-for-nothing son?" After reading it, the head of the Qian family looked up at the King of Shu cautiously and asked in a trembling voice.
The King of Shu nodded slightly, and the head of the Qian family dared to hand the information in his hand to Qian Dayong.
After seeing this, Qian Dayong was instantly struck by lightning and fell into a state of madness.
Because of the Qian family head's usual dominance, Qian Dayong has always been inferior and cowardly.
He finally felt the feeling of being relied on and needed by Aunt Yan, but now someone told him that all this was just a trap carefully designed by others, and all the tenderness and affection were fake.
"No, you lied to me. Dad, these people must have been hired by you, right? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the baby was picked up by the prince?" Qian Dayong opened his eyes wide and shouted at the top of his lungs, his face full of disbelief and anger.
Chu Ci: No wonder the baby was confirmed as the heir at such a young age. Qian Dayong's extremely timid and conceited character is really hard to describe.
Chu Ci frowned and shook his head helplessly as he spoke.
If Chu Ci still had some sympathy for the head of the Qian family, then the eldest prince had a calm and indifferent expression.
With a wave of his hand, he handed the four copies of the records to the Qian father and son and the Niu couple. "Take a good look at them. If everything is ok, please sign and seal."
The eldest prince said in a cold tone, leaving no room for doubt.
The four of them hurriedly took over their respective transcripts, not daring to be negligent at all.
They read the transcripts nervously, word by word, fearing to miss any details. After reviewing and confirming that there were no problems, they signed their names on the transcripts with trembling hands.
After carefully confirming everything, the eldest prince said solemnly, "Alright, the rest is your Qian and Niu families' private affairs. I will not get involved any more."
"However, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. If any of you leak the information, the consequences will be something you definitely don't want to know."
The eldest prince's eyes were sharp and his tone was full of warning.
"Yes, yes, yes." Several people responded hurriedly, naturally not daring to raise any objection.
The eldest prince was very satisfied when he saw this. The mission had been completed and he was not going to stay in the Qian family any longer.
But when he reached the gate, he saw the purple-robed servant holding Concubine Yan with a knife in his hand.
Only then did he remember that he had forgotten to tell Aunt Yan about this.
But it was impossible for the eldest prince to go back and deal with such a shameful matter.
Fortunately, the people around the prince are smart and intelligent enough.
Someone quickly noticed the eldest prince's thoughts, and immediately ran to the head of the Qian family, leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and said a few words in a serious tone.
Even when he saw Qian Baobao standing alone, the man threatened the head of the Qian family seriously for Qian Baobao: "Head of the Qian family, if this child has a hard time in the Qian family in the future, you should know the consequences."
The head of the Qian family had a bitter look on his face, and it was hard to put into words what was in his heart.
As for Concubine Yan who brought such a great disaster to the Qian family, the head of the Qian family now hates her to the core and wishes she would stay away from the Qian family!
The head of the Qian family naturally agreed to everything the visitor asked.
But Qian Baobao, a child who had experienced many hardships since childhood, was the head of the Qian family's deepest hope that he could live a smooth and peaceful life. However, if he compared it with the rise and fall of the entire Qian family, he...
Now I just hope that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will really favor this child.
This idea is really amazing!
If Chu Ci knew about this, he would definitely spit in his face without mercy and tell him bluntly: "You are ugly, but you have beautiful dreams!"
Unfortunately, neither the eldest prince, the fifth prince, nor Chu Ci and his wife had the ability to read minds.
When leaving Guiyang, Chu Ci specifically proposed to keep his promise and gave Qian Baobao a unique birthday gift - a crystal apple from Chu Ci's space.
That thing was just a small gadget to Chu Ci, but when the Qian family saw the crystal clear and beautiful crystal apple, they were shocked.
Even the not-so-bright Qian Dayong couldn't help but exclaim, "How could such a valuable item be given to a child like Bao Bao so casually?"
