"Does my mother really go looking for Feng Xi every day, hoping that Feng Xi can spare my life? And about the decision of the prince, Feng Yuan and my father, do you really not lie to me?"
In a separate courtyard near Dali Temple, Shen Ge, who had been detained here for almost a month, looked sarcastic and stared at Qi Xiao sitting at the table.
Once upon a time, he was the young general of the Shen family, the third prince-in-law supported by the prince's lineage. He cooked oil with flowers and brocade fire, and did not pay attention to Qi Xiao in front of him at all.
Because the other party has an elder brother but no achievements, even if he grows up, he will not be able to inherit the Shen family completely like him.
In addition, the Shen family has lasted for more than two hundred years and has a deep foundation and deep roots, while the rise of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion only lasted thirty years...
That's all. The Jingyuan Marquis Mansion suffered a disaster more than two years ago and was directly defeated. As a result, Qi Xiao had no capital to compare with him.
He watched the other party being rejected, insulted, and whipped by Feng Xi. He felt that Qi Xiao was like a joke and was not worthy of being called the consort like him.
That's just a son-in-law, a loser who can't even keep his own family business.
But such a good-for-nothing son-in-law is now sitting at the table, wearing a crimson official robe that is like the scorching sun in the sky, scorching him so much that he can hardly open his eyes.
He hoped that all this was just a dream, that he had not framed Feng Xi for cheating, that he had not been caught, and that he had not been imprisoned here day and night.
But it turns out it's all true...
What shocked and suffocated him even more was that today Qi Xiao actually told him that his wife wanted to marry his concubine brother. His father acquiesced that he was a dead man, and his mother knelt down outside the palace just to beg to see Feng Xi.
His heart was pounding, but he was not sure whether everything Qi Xiao said was true. What if the other party was deliberately defrauding him and wanted to get something from him?
He had never received news from the outside world these days, so he had to think so.
Seeing Shen Ge staring at him, fearing to miss any of his expressions, Qi Xiao just knocked on the table coldly and said silently:
"A person who has his life and property in my hands, deceiving you is just a waste of my time."
"you……"
Qi Xiao's words were too direct, which made Shen Ge's already sallow complexion look even more ugly due to trouble sleeping and eating.
However, Qi Xiao didn't have the patience to deal with him at all. He just wanted to go back to the palace and sleep with the fragrant and soft little phoenix, so he just said with an attitude that he would care about Shen Ge to death:
"You don't believe my words, but what about your sister's words?"
"Sister? What did you do to Qingyue!"
Shen Ge's pupils shrank, and he almost immediately wanted to break free from the shackles on his hands and feet, and wanted to rush to Qi Xiao to ask what happened.
However, this time Qi Xiao didn't even bother to answer his words. He just glanced sideways and motioned to Mu Tian to lead the people behind him. The next second, two female guards carried a blindfolded man in.
Looking at the girl who was lying on the stretcher shakily, her face was pale but she didn't dare to speak, Shen Ge didn't even bother to look at Qi Xiao, and said loudly:
"Qingyue! Qingyue, are you okay? Did they do anything to you? Tell me!"
Shen Ge and Shen Qingyue are biological brothers and sisters. Due to the different views between Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen and her husband, she was forced to give up the right to educate the brothers and sisters very early.
Therefore, Shen Ge and Shen Qingyue were closer to their grandfather when they were young, and to their father when they were older. They always respected their mother more and were less affectionate.
In addition, the situation in his father's backyard was complicated, and they had many brothers and sisters who were concubines. As a result, the two of them had learned to stay in a group since they were young, and their relationship was quite extraordinary, comparable to that of siblings.
This is why Shen Ge found that his sister was becoming more domineering, but rarely blamed her.
And Shen Qingyue, who had been crying almost all these days, was stunned for a moment when she heard her brother's voice, and then said with a burst of ecstasy:
"Brother, brother, are you okay, brother! I'm okay, they just caught me, they haven't done anything to me yet..."
Seeing how excited the two of them were, the female guard on the side immediately stretched out her hand at Qi Xiao's signal and untied the black cloth from Shen Qingyue's eyes.
After seeing everything in the room clearly, Shen Qingyue's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Because her brother, who was wise and powerful in her heart and could help her support her no matter what she did, now had a sallow complexion and a thin body.
There were no skin injuries, but the look in his eyes or the shackles on his hands and feet showed that her brother had suffered a lot this time.
So there was no need for Qi Xiao to speak, Shen Qingyue lost her voice and said:
"That poisonous woman Feng Yuan! The prince, the prince is not a good person! It's all their fault, it's all their fault! Brother, how could we be in this situation if it weren't for them? Brother, I won't let them go even if I'm a ghost! "
Shen Qingyue hates it so much!
I really hate it!
It is true that she and her brother were at fault, but who were they working for? Who do you work for? For whom do you seek the world?
Why should they be arrested and beaten? Even their mother has to kneel down in front of the palace gate to beg for mercy...
But Feng Yuan and the prince can pick and choose among their concubine brothers, and they still want to promote those shameless concubines to slap their mother in the face?
"Brother, father has given up on us, and so has grandpa. They agreed to the prince's palace's request to let that poisonous woman Feng Yuan marry the sons of those bitches in order to preserve the marriage between the two families..."
Although Shen Qingyue could not stand up and face Shen Ge face to face, her words were as sharp as a sharp knife.
These sharp knives pierced Shen Ge's heart, and Shen Ge, who wanted to go to Shen Qingyue's stretcher and take a good look at his sister, stopped dead in his tracks.
From surprise, doubt, and stunnedness to anger, rage, and finally hitting the ground hard with his hands.
Shen Ge did not doubt Shen Qingyue's words at all.
Because his sister is simple-minded, but she is sincere to him.
What's more, Shen Qingyue's anger and crying were so real. Even though she was trampled on by Feng Xi and broke a pair of calves that day, she was not so bitter and crazy.
It was real hatred that could not be disguised.
But at this moment, Qi Xiao, who was quietly drinking tea and watching a show, said lightly:
"The news just came from the palace. Concubine Fang threatened Mrs. Shen with your sister's marriage. She said that not only do you have concubines, but your sister also has concubines."
"ah!"
As soon as Qi Xiao finished speaking, Shen Qingyue screamed on the stretcher.
But Shen Ge gradually calmed down under Shen Qingyue's scream, and his emotions were withdrawn from the suffocation. He finally raised his eyes and looked at Qi Xiao and said:
"what do you want to do?"
He is not a fool. He has long since stopped wanting to stay here and accept his inevitable fate.
Since Qi Xiao is willing to come and tell him so much in person, it proves that he is useful to the princess mansion.
As long as they are willing to give him a chance, what if he Shen Ge works for the Princess Protector's Mansion?
However, facing his proactive overture, Qi Xiao's eyes remained cold:
"If Little Phoenix hadn't wanted to talk to your mother, do you think I would care about your life or death? I came here in advance just to see if you have any need to live. Your mother is a smart person, and you and your sister are against each other. Count two more oil bottles."
Shen Ge: "..."
Shen Qingyue: "?"
