Zhao Haicheng let go of his hand, and Chen Wanli crawled up to Qi Ye, banging his head.
"The younger one is guilty! General, spare your life! The younger one has no choice! Back then, the younger one's own mother was seriously ill and needed a sum of money urgently! The second master found me and said that as long as I help her remove a woman named Jiang Fu from the military prostitute camp, If you rescue me, you will give me a large sum of money to ensure that I have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life! I was obsessed for a while..."
"Nonsense! You are slandering! Slandering!"
Mrs. Li shouted at the top of her voice. She rushed forward and wanted to fight Chen Wanli, but was narrowly held back by her mother-in-law.
Qi Chengxu gritted his teeth and said, "What a naughty slave, who asked you to make up these lies to slander me!"
Chen Wanli: "You're not lying, General!"
Qi Chengxu: "Brother! You must not trust him!"
Qi Ye sneered and said: "If you didn't ask him to cooperate inside and outside, how could he become your long-term follower? Six years ago, there was an endless war in Weihaiguan. I ordered all the generals in the army not to go to the military prostitute camp. If no one instructs them, they will He dares to provoke military power and privately rescue military prostitutes from the camp?"
Qi Chengxu's face was ugly, his lips were moving but he couldn't say a word.
All the guests were in an uproar: "It was actually Mr. Qi who rescued the man! This man's heart is too poisonous, and he just blamed others! How much truth and falsehood are there in his words!"
"It is a serious crime to secretly rescue military prostitutes who are sent to the army!"
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Mrs. Li felt her breath stuck in her throat, gasping for air and fell into her mother-in-law's arms.
Ji Shu looked at her coldly, "Ma'am, please hold on. I have something else to ask you. Jiang Fu is an old friend of Mr. Qi, and Qi Jinxing and Qi Baoxin are their children. You and I have nothing to do with this matter." Does your wife know everything?"
Mrs. Li kept swallowing her saliva. Even Ji's mother lost her previous gentleness and said in shock: "My mother-in-law! Is this true?!"
It's not a big deal to have a concubine and a concubine, but knowing that the concubine's mother is by her side and tricking Ji Shu into treating the concubine as a legitimate concubine is a big deal!
Li said in a hoarse voice: "Of course it's not true! If I knew that this traitor was chasing her, I wouldn't have let him stay in Weihaiguan for six years!"
At this point, Li could only abandon his car to protect the commander. Qi Chengxu's secret rescue of a military prostitute was no longer cleansed, and he could no longer affect others!
"Mom, let me tell you the truth, before Chengxu and Shu'er got engaged, there was indeed a merchant girl who seduced him in every possible way! But that merchant girl's house was later raided for tax evasion, so I thought the two of them had broken off. Chengxu was discussing marriage, but I had no idea that this bitch was still seducing Chengxu!"
"As for Xu'er's children, he said they were born to other women at the border. I didn't think much about it, so I decided to merge the two children into Shu'er's lap -"
Li gritted her teeth and said, "Xu'er was injured in Weihai Customs and cannot have children. I feel sorry for Shu'er! I don't want her to have nothing to rely on when she gets old! Once we recognize our biological relatives, I will definitely provide for Shu'er in the future. I am I think about it for Shu’er!”
The guests whispered: "Second Master Qi is actually sterile?"
"No wonder you want to give the child to the Second Young Madam. If that's the case, it would be reasonable."
"You can't have children...then doesn't that mean the title of Marquis Wu Ding?"
An's eyes in the crowd were glowing green. No matter whether what Li said was true or not, she said she couldn't have children!
If something happens to Qi Jinxing, wouldn't it be impossible for Qi Chengxu to inherit the title? !
Li's gums were bleeding from biting her teeth. Of course she knew she couldn't say this nonsense, but the top priority was to use it to clear herself up, and there was nothing she could do!
Li: "Shu'er! Are you satisfied now?"
Ji's mother rolled her eyes, looked at Ji Shu, and said softly: "Second Master Qi has his own laws for rescuing military prostitutes, so you should calm down after that. Your mother-in-law and Mrs. Qi are all thinking about you, like this My husband’s family can’t find another one.”
Ji's mother had selfish motives, and Mrs. Li's last words reminded her.
Qi Chengxu can no longer have children, and his eldest brother Qi Ye has a title of his own. The title of Marquis of Wuding will definitely be passed to Qi Chengxu in the future, and then Qi Jinxing.
As Qi Chengxu's wife and Qi Jinxing's aunt, Ji Shu's future glory is evident.
She has a lifetime of honor and support, and she can also bring glory to her brothers and sisters in her mother's family. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?
Birds chirped outside the garden. Ji Shu shook off Ji's mother's hand and strode outside the garden.
"Hey! Shu'er! You kid, come back quickly!"
Ji's mother ran after them, followed closely by Ji Chengfeng and his wife. Qi Ye suppressed his anger and ordered Zhao Haicheng to take Chen Wanli and Qi Chengxu into custody. Li refused and pulled her son to cry endlessly.
Everyone looked at Ji Shu walking away and muttered:
"The second young lady is so temperamental... I don't want to forgive you, but there is no result yet."
Things have to come to an end at this point. Everyone feels itchy, and many people secretly follow and listen to the corner.
A long corridor outside Zhuoying Pavilion leads directly to the hanging flower door of the backyard. Ji Shu seemed to be going to the backyard, but as soon as he reached the corner of the corridor, someone rushed towards him.
His hair was disheveled, he was as skinny as a stick, his face was pale, but his eyes were black and blue, like a wandering spirit.
"old lady?"
"Ji Shu! Ji Shu, please let me go! I can't bear it anymore, I confess, I confess to you! Please let me go!"
Old Mrs. Qi screamed, frightening the birds that were parked under the eaves. She knelt down quickly and kept kowtowing.
The torture of these days has completely destroyed Mrs. Qi's luck. No one can bear the inability to sleep for several months, and no one can endure the nightmares every night and the 'ghosts' during the day. Mrs. Qi's spirit has collapsed. .
People are always so fragile in the face of the threat of death, not to mention Old Mrs. Qi who has not enjoyed enough glory and wealth and is extremely afraid of death!
She had long been confused and completely resigned to her fate. Now all she could think about was begging for mercy. If repenting could let her go, she would repent!
"It was me who helped Xu'er conceal Jiang Fu's life experience! It was also my idea, not letting him tell you the life experience of Brother Xing and Sister Bao'er! It's me, the bastard. I'm afraid you'll run away in anger and abandon the Wuding Hou Mansion! I You beast, I'm shameless! I'm sorry for you!"
"It was my idea to marry you and let you use your dowry to subsidize the shop of the Hou Mansion! It was me who arranged the rumor that the foreign man had an affair with you five years ago! The huge deficit suffered by the Duke of Hou Mansion three years ago, It was me who asked the accountant to make a false statement, in order to get money for Chengxu..."
Mrs. Qi poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told her all the things she had done to displease Ji Shu over the years.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Li chased out of the garden. When she heard Mrs. Qi's words, her eyes almost popped out. She ran forward and broke down and shouted: "Old lady, you are confused! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ji Shu was pushed aside by her and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
There were rumors five years ago that she was checked by several nuns in turn to check her virginity. She knelt in the ancestral hall of the Marquis Mansion for three days and recited the female commandments in front of the ancestors.
Three years ago, when her father-in-law was in the red, she took in countless dowries and was accused of lining her own pockets. She received several slaps from Mr. Li.
There was never a happy day in her stay at Wudinghou Mansion.
…
It was finally over. Ji Shu suddenly removed the heavy locks and felt relaxed.
All the guests who followed were dumbfounded. Ji's mother's energy and blood flowed backwards. Without saying a word, she rolled her eyes and fainted in Wen Pingting's arms.
Old Mrs. Qi came to her senses after being yelled at by Mr. Li. Then she noticed the guests at the back of the corridor and her lips were trembling violently.
"No, it's not like that...I, I..."
boom--
A crack of thunder struck in the clouds, and the originally sunny sky was shrouded in dark clouds at some point. Thunder struck one after another, and lightning flashed and thundered among the clouds.
Mrs. Qi screamed and ran into the backyard, and it rained heavily in an instant.
Qi Chengxu broke away from Zhao Haicheng and the others and rushed to Ji Shu. His face was full of fear and his voice was shaking violently.
"Shu'er, you, you give me a chance..."
Snapped!
Ji Shu raised his hand and slapped Qi Chengxu hard on the face. Her cold voice mixed with the sound of raindrops, like a sharp knife cutting into his heart, she said firmly and decisively:
"Qi Chengxu, let's make peace."
