In the East Palace Villa, several people were still analyzing the situation, and they were increasingly feeling caught in a dilemma.
Wen Yu took the tea from Qi Wu and said, "Although it was the Tan family who did the evil, it was my grandfather who had to bear the consequences. It's hard to say what choice he will make."
Qi Wu said: "As for the witness, although Yibai looks very similar to the aunt, this kind of thing is not without coincidence. Master Qing has a close relationship with Ayu, and her appearance has changed a lot after many years. The place where she met my grandfather is hundreds of miles away from Xi'an. Therefore, the other party has many reasons to refute. If my grandfather is biased again..."
Zhang Yuan nodded. "We wrote down Niu Xi's confession, found a witness, and asked him to put his fingerprints on it. But judging from his appearance, he is doomed to fail. Everyone in Niujia Village died. It will be difficult for him, a witness, to prove himself if he is forced to do so by someone powerful."
Qi Wu said to Madam Qi: "Mother, if this matter is made clear but cannot be proven, I am afraid that we will become the sinners of the world."
Madam Qi couldn't help but feel disappointed, "Then the investigation was in vain?"
Unable to think of a good solution for a while, Wen Yu thought: "There is also Lord Zhou. Is he Li Qun? How did Li Qun replace his identity? Let's see if we can start from this aspect."
Madam Qi nodded: "Then you can continue to investigate! However, you two should not go home yet! I am afraid that if you enter the house, the old fool will lock you up at home and will not release you until the matter is confirmed."
Qi Wu shook his head first: "My son has been busy lately, and he can't be locked up!"
Wen Yu was worried about her mother-in-law: "How about you not go back and live outside with us?"
Madam Qi said, "What's the point? Besides, what else can they do to me? We are not afraid of the Marquis, but your investigation is more important. Besides, I have to be the insider at home! Bao'er is in mourning, and it is not appropriate for him to go anywhere else. You should think of a solution quickly."
"Mother, you must not let anyone know when you return, in case the enemy gets desperate!"
"I know. I'll go tell your grandfather first!" Thinking of the news that she was about to tell her father, she couldn't sit still and pulled Baoer away.
And at home, General Cui... was reading Marquis Qi's letter.
Qi Hou wrote about what happened at home recently, indicating that he was very disappointed with everything. He was the head of the Qi family, and the biggest sin was his! However, he planned to "go his own way!"
He wanted to give the title to Qi Youduan. He had already had preliminary discussions with Qi Youduan on how to deal with the Qi family's property, and there would be an appropriate solution that would be acceptable to all parties.
But if Cui Fengying and the Cui family don't accept it, then he will agree to it no matter what! General Cui looked at the letter written by Qi Hou, which was obviously written with excitement and anger: the handwriting was sloppy and the ink was uneven. The language was brief and the attitude was firm.
He was so angry that his beard stuck up high and he cursed angrily: "This old bastard!"
"Then let Fengying go home! What's the big deal?!"
He immediately called his eldest son and his wife, threw the letter at them, and roared at Qi Hou: "This old fool! Quickly clean up the yard and bring your sister back with great fanfare! I want Qi Xiao and Qi Yang to both have the surname Cui! Hey! He doesn't care about me, but I do! If I find two grandsons with achievements for the Cui family, my ancestors will praise me!"
At this moment, Mrs. Qi came back with Baoer.
"Hey girl, why did you come back by yourself? You should wait for your brother and sister-in-law to pick you up at home! That would be more respectable!"
Madam Qi was confused: "Why did you pick me up? What's the face?"
Her eldest brother silently handed over the letter and waited for his sister to get angry.
Unexpectedly, my sister took a look at it and sneered, then threw the letter on the table and asked the girl to take Baoer with her: "Baoer, go play with Sister Yuanyuan!"
Then, she excitedly told everyone in detail the outrageous incident she had investigated, using gestures and gestures.
Several people were not as shocked as she thought. Instead, they looked at her in silence. "Fengying..." Old Master Cui asked carefully, "Did you not sleep well last night? Or did you read some bullshit storybook again?"
General Cui was a straight man who was infatuated with his wife. The only lady he had ever seen in his youth was his wife. He married her with great effort and has been focusing on her ever since. He was a simple person and thought his daughter was crazy after hearing all this.
Madam Qi was unhappy: "Dad! How dare you say that about your own daughter? Is this something your daughter could have made up? Xiaowu and the others spent a long time investigating this, right? Mu Bo, who was with Wen Yu, and Zhang Yuan, the bodyguard of the Qi family, have been running around outside for several months! Master Qing also remembered a lot when he woke up. And that Yibai, sister-in-law, have you seen Xiuyun from the Qi Mansion? Now I will take you to see what Yibai looks like!"
She said it angrily, but in her heart she felt that it was just as she thought. Her own father didn't believe it, so she wouldn't believe it if she told her father-in-law!
Mrs. Cui opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time.
General Cui had been sitting in his chair in a very sullen manner. He straightened up and said with a serious expression, "Is this true?"
…
As soon as Madam Qi left, the Crown Prince came to invite her.
Qi Wu pulled Wen Yu over there, and suddenly he was very emotional: "Ayu, you chose to marry me at the beginning, probably because you thought that this marriage could help you solve many problems. But now think about it, I really didn't give you a few days of good life after marrying you. I made you worry, worried, and always made you experience unpleasant things. If you weren't so smart and capable...if you were a little weak, your life in the Qi family would not be much better than your mother's.
Now, not only have you blocked the witch's pressure and tactics, but you have also revealed her true colors. Moreover, you have done so much for the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince. It's all me... who owes you. It's my blessing to marry you!"
He rarely spoke such long sentences, and his face turned red. Wen Yu nodded with satisfaction, "I'm glad to know. Then you must treat me well in the future!"
"Of course! I'll only treat you well!"
The sweet expressions on their faces were still there when they entered the room. The prince saw it all at once! He was already angry, and this made him even more angry. He didn't want to be mean to Qi Wu, so he just glared at Wen Yu sternly.
The prince was sitting on the couch and saw this. He couldn't help laughing. What a silly and awkward son! "Ayu, come here! Tell me, what are you guys doing there?"
The crown prince pulled Qi Wu to whisper in his ear. His information network was not weak either. Once the direction of investigation was clear, it would be quick! "That man is indeed the son of King Xiang. King Xiang is missing, and the princess is also dead... all very strange." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Wu proudly: In this world, only the crown prince and the two of them know the cause of King Xiang's death.
"Then, the emperor began to train him. He changed his name to Zhao Yuan and was accepted as the last disciple by Master Yang Feng. At the same time, he was also taught by Wang Xi, Yuan Chengzu and others. Ha, it's a big lineup, right? In the past three years, he began to travel from south to north. When he went there, there were also famous teachers accompanying him, and he learned while traveling. The Yuanzhou that my father mentioned was the one that Master Yang accompanied him to!"
The crown prince said, with a sour look on his face. The emperor worked so hard just for him! He glanced at Wen Yu, who was talking to his father with a smile. What was she talking about? What was going on with his father's half-smile?
He snorted, "Don't mention it. Your Wen Yu has a good eye. She can tell at a glance that he has a good demeanor. The emperor built it according to the standards of a wise ruler. How could it be bad?!"
The crown prince sneered.
Qi Wu felt sad for the grandson. If the emperor took a fancy to someone and used such standards to train a successor, everyone would be full of praise. Who could have any objection or stop him? As a result, he hid it and used the sick and weak prince to block him, and let him step on the grandson's head. Outside, he even supported the King of Wu and the King of An to fight each other... Why did all this happen?
"What's with that expression on your face?" The Crown Prince felt sympathy in Qi Wu's eyes, and he became even angrier!
…
Madam Qi returned home after a pleasant chat at Cui's house. As expected, the Marquis sent someone to ask Madam Qi to "rest" in his yard. The person he sent was his own. Madam Qi deliberately said: I have something to see the father-in-law!
Marquis Qi should have known she would bring it up, so he sent someone to reply directly: Master Qi said he has something important to do and doesn't have time to meet! ...
The next day, Qi Youduan accompanied his father to court. The emperor had already read the memorials from the Qi family’s residence. He was very satisfied with his performance over the years and praised him a few words.
Marquis Qi waited until the end and went to the imperial study with the emperor.
That night, Qi Youduan secretly went to a small courtyard. The person who opened the door saw him and did not say anything. He led him directly to the main house. Someone opened the curtain and he entered the house.
There was a young man in the room, who was making tea himself. When he saw him come in, he smiled brightly.
Qi Youduan took two steps forward and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness! I see you!" There was a hint of intimacy in his voice.
The young man was Li Qiru. He got down from his seat and raised him up with both hands: "General Qi, how are you?"
Qi You stood up, still respectfully, "Your Highness, it has been almost two years since I last saw you. Time flies! I received your letter and learned that you have come this far. I really admire you very much!"
"I have the support of my grandfather, and the help of you, my father's old friends. If I don't make it this far, won't I be a hopeless person?"
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? It is my honor to be valued by you and to work for you."
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, they started talking about business...
