Chapter 406 The Liu Family Comes to Arrest Someone
Qin Shaojing was waiting at the gate of the clan house.
Seeing Cheng Qi coming out, she immediately stepped forward with joy, "Great, once the succession documents are delivered, you will be the second son of the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion. Tomorrow we will bring my aunt to the palace to ask for the title. No one can take your position as Ningyang Marquis away from you!"
Qin Shaojing muttered excitedly, and Cheng Qi, who was standing next to her, looked more solemn and deep.
He didn't say anything for a long time. Qin Shaojing, who was ecstatic, gradually realized that something was wrong. She turned to look at Cheng Qi, "What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Qi stared at Qin Shaojing's face and said slowly, "Shaojing, if I were not the Marquis of Ningyang, would you still be willing to marry me?"
When Qin Shaojing heard Cheng Qi say this, anger immediately rose on his perfect face.
What is he going to do!
She had put in so much effort and even gave up the luxurious life in Duke Liu's mansion for him, and now he said this to her.
"Did something go wrong with you?" Qin Shaojing said angrily.
"No, Shao Jing, I just want to ask you, if I were not the Marquis of Ningyang, would you be willing to marry me?"
"Cheng Qi, don't ask me this kind of question at this time. Have you sent the document?!" Qin Shaojing didn't want to answer his stupid question at all.
He is not the Marquis of Ningyang, he answered himself, who is willing to marry him!
Because he is poor, because he is dark, because he has no future!
Seeing that Qin Shaojing only cared about his succession document, the light in Cheng Qi's eyes dimmed bit by bit. He pursed his lips tightly and held the returned document tightly in his sleeve.
Just now, someone from the clan house told him that there was no problem for him to be adopted into the Ningyang Marquis's mansion as the second son, but if he wanted to marry the divorced Qin, then his inheritance would definitely not work.
The affair between the divorced Qin and her father-in-law was widely spread, and Your Majesty had heard about it. As for how Your Majesty knew it, it might have been overheard by an official in the Military Affairs Council during a meeting.
Anyway, after hearing what happened, His Majesty became disgusted and called the seriously ill old Duke Liu to the palace and gave him a scolding. He was just released an hour ago with a bloody head.
Everyone knows that the Liu family has displeased His Majesty because of this incident, and the Liu family's future will definitely be damaged. Fortunately, Qin was divorced before, otherwise she would definitely be hanged by herself now.
The people from the clan house hinted to Cheng Qi in both explicit and implicit ways that if he chose to inherit the Ningyang Marquisate, he should not marry Qin. If he wanted to marry Qin, his inheritance would certainly disgust His Majesty.
As for the dirty private affairs of officials in their backyards, Your Majesty will not interfere unless they involve matters as serious as infidelity or filial piety, but everyone knows that although Your Majesty will not single them out for punishment, once Your Majesty knows about their affairs, their future will be ruined.
Just like the Liu family, it has already touched the mold. No matter who gets the title of Duke in the future, it is impossible for it to be passed down to the second elder of the Liu family!
He advised Cheng Qi to be cautious, but Cheng Qi chose to take the document back without hesitation.
At this time, Qin Shaojing found the document hidden in his sleeve. She pulled it and took it out. She found that it was the succession document that she had coaxed and deceived. She was very annoyed and said, "What are you doing! Why don't you send the things up! Don't you want to marry me! Go quickly, and take advantage of the time now. Send it again, and don't delay tomorrow's important event!"
"Do you really want me to send you off?" Cheng Qi looked at her and said this, losing his usual warmth.
Qin Shaojing was anxious at this time, but she also found that Cheng Qi had a strange attitude. She suppressed her anxiety, "Brother Cheng Qi, have you listened to Lu Lingyun's instigation again? I know, it must be that Tong Nanxia said something to you in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion just now. The two sisters are really vicious! In order to prevent you from seizing the title, they have used all means. You must not fall into their trap at this critical moment!"
Until now, Cheng Qi still heard Qin Shaojing's bad words about Lu Lingyun, and he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.
As long as she told him that she was willing to marry him, even if he was not the Marquis of Ningyang, even if there were countless difficulties, he would not regret being with her.
And at this moment, he wavered.
He looked at Qin Shaojing, who was urging him to go in and hand in the documents again, and said, "If you want me to go, don't regret it."
"What should I regret? Go quickly!" Qin Shaojing stuffed the document back into his hand and half-pushed him inside.
Cheng Qi grasped the document in his palm again, his eyes flashed, and he strode back into the clan residence.
When Qin Shaojing saw him go back in, he felt relieved and his eyes lit up again.
I don't know what they said to that stupid Cheng Qi, he even gave up his title of Marquis! Ridiculous!
Fortunately, fortunately, she found it.
Lu Lingyun didn’t succeed!
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage came quickly towards Qin Shaojing.
The carriage stopped, and several servants and a nanny quickly got out of the car.
Qin Shaojing recognized at a glance the clothes the servants were wearing, the emblem of Duke Liu's Mansion hanging on their carriage, and the head nanny - the head nanny who was the housekeeper of her great-grandmother!
"What are you going to do!" Qin Shaojing looked at the people from Duke Liu's mansion who came to her in horror.
The head nanny looked at her and said, "Second Madam Ye, bah! Qin, you have done something good yourself and you still have the nerve to ask!"
"What did I do!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take the man back!" The head nanny waved her hand and ordered her subordinates to rush forward. Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi went out with only a groom and Nanny Qin and a servant. The servants quickly held the groom and Nanny Qin, and forked Qin Shaojing into the Liu family's carriage.
Qin Shaojing saw this and shouted, "What are you doing! I have nothing to do with Duke Liu's Mansion! You dare to arrest me, don't you care about Duke Qin's Mansion and my aunt's Ningyang Marquis Mansion?"
The head nanny sneered, "You slut, you still have the nerve to say that. If you were a little more obedient, you could keep those dirty and lewd things you did to yourself. But you still dare to spread it around. You really don't take our Liu Guogong Mansion seriously! Even if your brother and your aunt came today, we would still catch them!"
Qin Shaojing was stunned when he heard this.
What?
The dirty, lewd and awful things she did...are she going to spread them to others?
This, what is going on!
She didn't know that the scandal of her affair with her former father-in-law had already spread throughout the capital, and Duke Liu was even called in to be reprimanded for his mismanagement of the household. Now everyone knew about her affair.
And Duke Liu's Mansion didn't think too much about it. They must have thought that Qin Shaojing was the one who spread the news!
After all, it was such a private matter, and apart from the people involved in the second house, only Qin Shaojing knew about it!
Who among outsiders knew that Qin Shaojing was having an affair with her father-in-law?
