Xu Zhengyang slapped Xu Jin across the face: "You disgraceful thing!"
Qi Zhenhe looked at Xu Zhengyang with a half-smile.
Xu Zhengyang apologized, saying, "Patriarch Qi, Master Li, it was all my fault for speaking recklessly and offending you both. I apologize to you both."
Qi Zhenhe said, "Xu Zhengyang, if you can't manage the inner quarters yourself, then take fewer concubines. And tell me properly, who is this person who raped Hu Yulan? And who is this scoundrel?"
Xu Zhengyang's face turned red with anger. Back then, when he saw that Hu Yulan was beautiful, he used a trick to drug and rape her. This drug had a hallucinogenic effect, making the person taking it see the person in front of them as their beloved! This led Hu Yulan to believe that Qi Zhenhe was the one who did this back then.
Xu Zhengyang smiled obsequiously and said, "Hehe... It's all my fault. I gave that bitch Hu Yulan a hallucinogenic incense, which made her misunderstand you and caused this to happen. I deserve to die for not managing the inner quarters properly."
After being drugged and raped, Hu Yulan always believed that Qi Zhenhe was the one who did it. Qi Zhenhe was considered a local young talent. He was handsome, had good qualifications, and not only did he have a powerful family background, but he also had a very simple family background.
Countless women wanted to marry him, and Hu Yulan was among them. After this incident, she often blushed, waiting for Qi Zhenhe to marry her.
She waited and waited, and when she found out she was pregnant, Qi Zhenhe still hadn't sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. Helpless, she had no choice but to go to Qi Zhenhe herself.
Hu Yulan told Qi Zhenhe that she was pregnant with his child and wanted him to marry her.
Qi Zhenhe was completely baffled; he hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was being unfairly blamed.
This matter must be investigated! Following the clues, the investigation led back to Xu Zhengyang.
At this time, Xu Zhengyang had already married a wife, who was about to give birth.
Hu Yulan's parents were also unruly. After Hu Yulan's affair was exposed, they first went to the Qi family to cry and make a scene to demand justice. After Qi Zhenhe found out that Xu Zhengyang was the one who did it, they turned around and pestered Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang only wanted to have a fling, but he didn't expect to get involved in such a mess. Now that the Qi family has been implicated, it's not so easy for him to deny it. Blame that woman! Of all the people she could like, she had to insist on liking Qi Zhenhe! Xu Zhengyang's legal wife was still pregnant, so he had no choice but to secretly bring Hu Yulan back as a concubine without his wife's knowledge.
This became a topic of conversation for many people at the time, and most of the older generation knew about it to some extent. However, it wasn't a big deal, and it was gradually forgotten.
The only one who held a grudge about this was Hu Yulan. No matter how Xu Zhengyang explained to her that he was the one who did it, she refused to believe it and insisted that Qi Zhenhe was the one that night.
In the end, Hu Yulan was forced into the sedan chair by her parents, still crying and sobbing.
When Xu Zhengyang's wife found out about this, she also treated Hu Yulan badly, making Hu Yulan's life very difficult.
After Xu Jin was born, Hu Yulan always instilled in him the idea that Qi Zhenhe was his father and that he was the rightful heir of the Qi family. Over time, Xu Jin took this to heart and began to resent Qi Zhiheng for taking away everything that should have belonged to him.
Although Xu Jin was instigated by his mother, it was also related to his own unwillingness to be just a son of a concubine from a minor family.
The difference in treatment was even more obvious when Xu Zhengyang was bowing and scraping to Qi and Li.
He was unwilling to accept it!
