Thinking of this, he put the water ladle on the bed, sighed, and said earnestly:
“Mingyu, your mother killed Xue Shi and was taken away by the yamen officials a few days ago.”
Qi Mingyu was not surprised at all that his mother would kill Xue Mengyu.
He merely blinked upon hearing this.
Qi Maosheng continued, "I suppose you don't know yet, but Chi Shi has now been granted the title of Princess by the imperial court."
Our Anping County and the neighboring Anning County will merge to form Le'an City.
This Anle City will become the fiefdom of the Chi family.
Her name is Princess Le'an, and it is said that the imperial court will send people to help her build her princess's mansion.
From now on, she will be in charge of this Le'an City.
She happened to be passing by the day your mother killed Xue Mengyu.
The elderly couple from the Xue family stopped her car and begged her to intervene; they are currently at the yamen (government office).
Judging from her demeanor, she showed absolutely no regard for the past, and might even harbor resentment.
Qi Mingyu's eyes widened as he listened, and his breathing became rapid.
Seeing that he was about to die and that the clan would not allow him to continue living, Qi Maosheng thought that he should not let him die of starvation.
He immediately got up and left, and when he came back, he was carrying a bowl of fairly thick porridge.
Upon seeing Qi Maosheng, Qi Mingyu, who had finally calmed down, became somewhat agitated.
"Maosheng, the Chi family has become a princess of this place?"
His son is the princess's only heir at present.
As his father, could he ask someone in the clan to help him find a skilled doctor?
If he can be cured, he can participate in the autumn imperial examination again in three years.
If he could pass the imperial examination and become a Juren or even a Jinshi, wouldn't the princess's son be proud of himself?
I suppose the Chi family would agree?
Qi Maosheng didn't know what Qi Mingyu wanted to express, but out of a last bit of old affection, he helped him up and fed him the porridge.
"Eat up. We can talk about it after you've eaten."
At this critical juncture, everyone's food is precious.
If he hadn't wanted Qi Mingyu to starve to death, he certainly wouldn't have taken out his own food.
Qi Mingyu had a lot to say, but he was indeed very hungry.
After he finished eating, Qi Maosheng said, "Mingyu, your mother has already been taken in. She might be beheaded."
None of us in the clan want to leave a bad impression on the princess.
Your affair with her back then was really messy.
Everyone is afraid of being blamed, and the clan thinks it would be best if you could leave.
Now that you have no one to take care of you, I think you're barely clinging to life, so why don't you just go in peace?
Don't worry, the clan will collect your body after you're gone.
As for the house and land you left behind, the clan will not take them back.
No matter what, the princess's son is still your child.
Whether he wants them or not, the clan will leave them to him.
Qi Mingyu never dreamed that just a moment ago, he was thinking about how to cure himself and how glorious he would be in the future.
The next moment, Qi Maosheng told him that the clan wanted him dead.
"No, I can't die. Brother Maosheng, I am the father of the princess's son."
As long as I am alive, even if we sever all ties, he cannot abandon me or disown me.
Brother Maosheng, I want to live.
As long as I am alive, I can use my son to negotiate with the Chi family for some benefits for our clan.
Even if Mrs. Chi hates me, she still has to consider the child's feelings.
Brother Maosheng, can you find someone to take care of me?
This house is mine. I have the title of a scholar and do not need to pay taxes on my land.
From now on, whoever takes care of me will own the produce from my land.
If they have nowhere to live, they can move in.
