They wouldn't even let him stay overnight; they kicked him out of Chijia'ao.
It was located high in the mountains, far from any village or shop. It's fortunate that Brother Mingyu survived.
Otherwise, in this freezing weather, frostbite is a minor issue; freezing to death is also a normal occurrence!
Although Zhong Yufeng was a young girl in the throes of first love, she was still quite intelligent and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, if Scholar Qi is really that good, then why did his ex-wife divorce him?"
Furthermore, why should her son give it to her?
Even if his parents agreed, I doubt the clan would.
He, a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, divorced, with his son going to the woman—it's not a good thing to say, especially since it's the first time in the history of Anping County that such a case has occurred.
She wanted to marry Qi Mingyu, but she had to figure out what was going on.
Seeing the glint in his cousin's eyes, Zhong Wenming hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard from Uncle Zhong, who took him home before, that the Qi family's house seems to have been robbed."
Zhong Yufeng frowned: "It's just a simple case of a house being robbed, and the older sister wants a divorce, and the Qi family is even giving her the child?"
Isn't this a bit unreasonable?
It was already the fifth day of the lunar month, and surprisingly, it wasn't snowing; the sun was out.
Qi Mingyu, feeling too cold indoors, went out to bask in the sun and unknowingly wandered into the garden.
Right now, Zhong Wenming and Zhong Yufeng, these two cousins, are talking about this in the pavilion in the garden.
Zhong Wenming, with his sharp eyes, called out to anyone he saw, "Brother Mingyu!"
Qi Mingyu saw his current benefactors and walked towards them.
As they approached, it seemed as if they only then noticed Zhong Yufeng. They lowered their eyes and greeted her somewhat awkwardly.
"Second Miss Zhong!"
Zhong Yufeng, who was originally rational, saw that his moon-white long robe made him look even more handsome and dashing.
In that instant, her mind went blank, and even the things she wanted to say to her cousin were forgotten.
Zhong Wenming glanced at his cousin, then at Qi Mingyu, his desire to bring them together growing stronger.
He knew that his second aunt was a shrewd person, and his cousin was like her mother.
Don't let her current appearance fool you; once she calms down, she'll definitely be thinking a lot.
So he asked directly, "Brother Mingyu, if I may ask, what was the reason for your divorce from your ex-wife, and why did you give her your son?"
Zhong Yufeng, whose heart was pounding, looked at him with dazed eyes after hearing these words.
When my mind is in a mess, I force myself to calm down.
Although Qi Mingyu focused on his studies and didn't go out much, as a man, how could he not understand what the young girl in front of him meant by looking at him?
He had thought about this question long ago, and how he would answer it if an outsider asked.
So without thinking, he blurted out, "When Chi gave birth, my widowed elder sister-in-law started crying as soon as she saw the child."
She had a deep affection for my older brother, and when he passed away, she had not yet given birth to any children, which made her feel guilty.
My mother, who is her aunt, couldn't bear to see her like this, so she gave the child to her.
Thinking that Mrs. Chi had just given birth, and that it was premature due to an accident, and that she had been in a coma ever since.
In this situation, it would be good if someone could help her take care of the child.
Wait until she wakes up, then give her the child.
Unexpectedly, when Chi woke up, she went crazy and told everyone that her mother and sister-in-law had stolen her child and caused her to have a premature birth.
And then people would say, "My sister-in-law and I...you know..."
He said these words with a bitter smile and self-deprecation on his face.
It seems they've fallen into the same situation they were in when they were wrongly accused.
