In Cheng Qi's view, Qin Shaojing made a huge sacrifice.
He had beaten Liu Ye before, and Qin Shaojing had risked her life to protect him. He couldn't imagine what Qin Shaojing would have to face if she took Liu Ye back to Duke Liu's Mansion!
Now that she has been divorced by Duke Liu's family, how can he not accept her!
She is so loyal and affectionate to him, her love and loyalty are unparalleled!
"Okay, okay, okay." Cheng Hui looked at the two of them, "Give her an explanation, and from now on, we will no longer be brother and sister!"
After she finished speaking, she ran out crying.
Seeing this, Liu Qingshuang hurriedly chased after him.
After the two of them left, Cheng Qi frowned and stood there for a long time without saying a word.
Qin Shaojing stepped forward gently and considerately, and said worriedly, "Brother Cheng Qi, it's my fault for causing you and your sister to turn against each other like this."
Cheng Qi shook his head, "She is ignorant."
Why didn't Cheng Hui understand him?
Shao Jing is so good, why does she always have a prejudice against her!
"When Sister Huihui grows up and gets married, she will understand." Qin Shaojing smiled gently.
"You're right." Cheng Qi responded.
Qin Shaojing took his arm and walked inside with him. He glanced at the place where Cheng Hui left, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Wait until she marries in and see how she deals with her.
I will definitely find her a 'good family' when the time comes!
Tell her to go against her!
Cheng Hui returned empty-handed and went back to Lu Lingyun's yard.
Liu Qingshuang told Lu Lingjun about the incident. She frowned and sighed, "Qin Shaojing is obviously relying on the idea that family disgrace should not be made public. The Duke Liu's Mansion wants to save face and hide what she did. That's why she is so fearless. Unfortunately, there is no evidence or witnesses to this, so it's hard to believe!"
In fact, Liu Qingshuang really wanted to scold Cheng Qi, that blockheaded man with no brains at all, and Qin Shaojing was completely bewitched by him.
I don't believe anything other people say.
Nowadays, a woman's reputation is so important that when such rumors spread, even if some of them are indeed false, people will feel a little uneasy after hearing them and will investigate privately.
But Cheng Qi didn't believe it at all and wanted to put it out in the open and ask people to testify.
Who dares to prove it openly?
If Cheng Qi was willing, he could go to Duke Liu's mansion and bribe a few servants, spend more time and effort, and he would be able to hear everything!
But if we put it out in the open and ask people to say it loudly, who would dare to say it?
They told him that they had to be more secretive!
Lu Lingjun listened to Liu Qingshuang's words and smiled faintly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Once something is done, Qin Shaojing can hide it for a while, but not forever. If someone reveals it in the future, the suffering will only be greater."
Liu Qingshuang nodded when she heard this, "Big sister, you are right."
She glanced at Cheng Hui, who was crying in the room, and said, "Hui Hui is wronged. She has tried to stop her brother from falling into the abyss time and time again, but it is useless. I don't know when her stupid brother will realize how wrong he is!"
Lu Lingjun also looked over there, with a faint and peaceful smile on her face, "You have to try it to know if it's useful."
Yes, Cheng Hui has advised so many times but it's useless.
If you want Cheng Qi to believe it completely, you have to do something big.
Lu Lingjun never plays tricks when she makes a move. She is going to do something so big that Qin Shaojing will never be able to recover and will not be able to defend himself.
Cheng Qi was determined to marry Qin Shaojing.
Less than two days after receiving Qin Shaojing's divorce letter, he brought Qin Shaojing to Ningyang Marquis' Mansion again.
"General Cheng, our young mistress is out and not at home." said the gatekeeper.
"We are not here to look for my sister-in-law, we are here to see my aunt." Qin Shaojing stood beside Cheng Qi and said, "Go and tell her quickly, we want to tell my aunt the good news."
When the gatekeeper heard this, he hesitated.
Recently, Lu Lingjun issued an order not to allow Qin Shaojing to enter the Marquis' Mansion easily.
Especially when she's not around.
"Miss Qin, why don't you wait until our young mistress comes back? She may be here soon." The servant whispered ingratiatingly.
"What's wrong with you! Isn't this marquis' mansion the home of our aunt, Madam Xue Guo? Is she, Lu Lingyun, more senior, or is our aunt, Madam Xue Guo, more senior!" Nanny Qin scolded harshly.
When the servant heard this, he looked embarrassed.
How dare he say that!
The Marquis' Mansion is indeed the largest one owned by the old lady, but the old lady is confused, and the young lady is the one in charge now!
How dare they disobey the Young Madam's orders?
Just then, a voice came from the yard.
"What happened?"
"Auntie Li." The servant saw Li Bixi coming and said hurriedly, "General Cheng and Miss Qin are here."
When Li Bixi heard the names of Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi, her eyes rolled around, "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you invite them in?"
"Before the young lady left, she ordered that Miss Qin was not allowed to come in when she was not around." The servant whispered to her.
At this moment, a faint light flashed in Li Bi'e's eyes. She saw a large group of people outside through the half-open door, and immediately met Qin Shaojing's gaze.
Qin Shaojing also saw her, and she said directly at the door, "I'm here to see my aunt, who of you can go in and tell her."
After hearing this, Li Bixiang did not respond but just left quietly.
When the servant heard this, he turned around and went to perfunctorily answer Qin Shaojing, "Miss Qin, our young mistress is really coming back soon, why don't you wait a little longer."
"You are so brave, asking our young lady to wait at your door? I'll let our aunt know how many heads you have!"
The servant smiled with a sad face, and his heart was in turmoil. He just hoped that their young mistress would come back soon.
But before long, a maid from Ningxin Courtyard came over and said, "Our cousin is here? Please come in!"
The servant was startled when he heard this.
"What are you still standing there for! The old lady is so happy to know that the cousin is coming, and she is waiting for you in the house!"
"But the young lady said..."
"What are you talking about? Open the door! The old lady asked me to pick up my cousin and take her to her yard!"
When the gatekeeper heard this, he urged everyone inside and outside to come down, and gritted his teeth, "Okay, please let Miss Qin and General Cheng in!"
This was not released by him. It was the old lady who gave the order herself. It has nothing to do with him!
Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi brought their men and strode into the Marquis' Mansion.
After she went in, when she was almost reaching Ningxin Courtyard, a woman came over.
"My cousin is here." Li Bixiang bowed and greeted her.
"It turned out to be Aunt Li." Qin Shaojing glanced at her and smiled with satisfaction, "I have always remembered Aunt Li!"
"My cousin remembers me, which is my blessing," Li Bixi said with a smile on her face, "My cousin must have something important to discuss with the old lady, so I won't bother you any more."
"Well," Qin Shaojing nodded, "When I'm free, I'll invite Aunt Li to sit down and chat."
After Qin Shaojing finished speaking, he and Cheng Qi entered Ningxin Courtyard.
Li Bixiang stood there looking at her back, her hands clenched in her sleeves, a hint of joy in her eyes.
Without Cheng Yunshuo, she has to find a better partner for herself again!
She had to get her children back!
In Ningxin Courtyard.
"aunt!"
When Qin Shaojing saw Qin sitting in the yard basking in the sun, he approached her very cordially.
"Shao Jing, you're here." When Qin saw Qin Shao Jing, she smiled happily and stretched out her hand to call her over.
Qin Shaojing held her hand and squatted at her feet obediently, "I miss my aunt so much."
Qin stroked her hair and said distressedly, "Shao Jing, are you going back? Is that little bastard surnamed Liu still bullying you?"
When Qin Shaojing heard this, he said, "I have divorced him."
"Oh?" Qin's face was blank. Qin Shaojing then called Cheng Qi to come forward.
"Aunt, I came here this time to tell you a good news."
"What good news?"
"I'm going to remarry Brother Cheng Qi!" Qin Shaojing said with a smile.
Cheng Qi also stepped forward and said solemnly, "Aunt, I really want to marry Shao Jing."
When Qin heard this, the confusion on her face deepened again.
"Aunt, won't you bless us?" Qin Shaojing said coquettishly, "Before, you and Brother Cheng Qi were engaged. You told me at that time that he was a good man and would treat me well."
"Oh." Qin replied blankly, "Is that so? That's good."
Qin Shaojing heard this and pulled Qin's hand and said coquettishly, "Aunt, now Brother Cheng Qi and I are going to reunite. Shaojing is thinking, why don't you adopt Cheng Qi to be your child, so that we can really become a family. In the future, Brother Cheng Qi and I will be filial to you together, and our family will be harmonious and happy!"
"Okay, okay."
Nanny Wen, who had been silently serving beside Qin, couldn't help but call out, "Madam."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Nanny Qin glared at her. She stood beside her and whispered, "Sister Wen, don't forget where we all came from!"
When Nanny Wen heard this, she swallowed what she was about to say. She looked at Qin Shaojing who was enjoying himself in front of Qin Shi and dared not say anything. She winked at a little maid beside her and sent her out.
Lu Lingjun was discussing something at Lu Kuan's residence when someone came hurriedly to report and asked her to go back.
When Lu Lingjun heard that Qin Shaojing had arrived, he had already been invited into Qin's courtyard.
"Who allowed her to go in?"
"The gatekeeper didn't dare to let her go. It was the maid in the old lady's room who came out to greet her. She said the old lady knew she was coming."
When Lu Lingjun heard this, he didn't have time to check who had passed the rumor and hurried back.
When she rushed back to Qin's yard, she heard a lot of laughter inside.
"Aunt, then it's settled. I will marry Brother Cheng Qi as our wedding gift. You will adopt him as your second son and let him inherit the title. In the future, we will both be very filial to you!"
"All up to you, all up to you." Qin responded.
"Mother!" Lu Lingjun strode into the room at this time.
As soon as she came in, she met Qin Shaojing's smiling eyes.
When Qin Shaojing saw her this time, the smile in his eyes became even stronger, "Sister-in-law is here!"
"Shao Jing, you're here again." Lu Lingjun looked at her without changing his expression.
"Yes, I just have something great to tell you!" Qin Shaojing stood up from Qin's knees, his eyes filled with unstoppable joy, "I'm going to marry Brother Cheng Qi."
"Really? Congratulations." Lu Lingjun kept smiling. She glanced at Cheng Qi, who met her gaze, looking quite unnatural.
Seeing this, Qin Shaojing directly took Cheng Qi's arm and said, "I have another great news to tell you!"
"Oh? Is there any happy event?"
"We will really be closer relatives in the future!" Qin Shaojing looked at her proudly, "My aunt said that she wants to adopt brother Cheng Qi as her second son. In the future, I will be your sister-in-law. I deserve to be called sister-in-law!"
Lu Lingjun listened to Qin Shaojing's provocative words and smiled softly, "It's indeed a good thing."
Qin Shaojing continued, "Sister-in-law, we have Cheng Qi in the mansion from now on. With his support, we all have hope! Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so tired in the future. Cheng Qi will take care of everything."
Lu Lingjun looked at Cheng Qi who was being pushed up by Qin Shaojing's hand, "Should I thank Mr. Cheng first?"
When Cheng Qi heard this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lu Lingjun.
Qin Shaojing beside him was full of complacency and pride, looking at Lu Lingjun with a provocative look.
It seemed to tell her.
Didn't she have the ability to find the Liu family to deal with her before?
So she decided to burn her bridges and choose Cheng Qi completely!
Now that she is like this, what else can she do!
Who else can I find to deal with her?
With Qin here, she will definitely take over the Marquisate!
"Aunt, my sister-in-law knows now, so we should ask for the title as soon as possible." Qin Shaojing turned to look at Qin, who was sitting on the chair with a dull look, "You should change into the imperial robes today and go to the palace to ask His Majesty to confer the title on Cheng Qi and bestow the title of Ningyang Marquis on us."
Qin listened to this long list and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say..."
"Mother." Qin was about to respond again, but was interrupted by Lu Lingjun.
Lu Lingjun took a step forward and half-knelt in front of Qin. "I wonder if you are tired today?"
She didn't tell her any of this.
Qin nodded when she heard this, "Yes, I'm tired."
"If you are tired, go back and rest. I will take care of the things outside."
"Okay, okay, okay." Qin said okay repeatedly.
Seeing this, Qin Shaojing said, "Aunt, it's better to do it today than to wait for a day."
"Shao Jing, your mother is so tired today, and you still bother her. Is this your filial piety?" Lu Lingjun turned his head and glanced at her.
When Qin Shaojing heard this, he choked. The word "filial piety" weighed down on him like a mountain, and there was no way for him to argue.
"Aunt, there is no rush. After all, Brother Cheng Qi and I have been preparing for the wedding for a few days. You can have a good rest today. We can ask for the title at any time before we get married."
When she said the last sentence, she looked at Lu Lingjun.
It was obvious that these words were directed at her.
Qin is now under her control. Whatever she says, Qin will respond. It would only be a day earlier or later for Lu Lingjun to try to stop her.
What's the use!
Lu Lingjun met her gaze, but she was neither annoyed nor anxious. Seeing that Qin was invited back into the house first, she looked at the two people in front of her and asked Cheng Qi.
"Cheng Qi, do you really want to marry her?"
Qin Shaojing stepped forward and answered, "It was all thanks to my sister-in-law that I was able to escape from that quagmire in Duke Liu's mansion!"
"I didn't ask you, I asked Mr. Cheng." Lu Lingjun looked at Cheng Qi again, "Cheng Qi, do you really want to marry her?"
Cheng Qi's heart was full of struggle at this moment.
Not at all the toughness he showed when facing his sister.
As a brother, he naturally has the final say when it comes to his sister, and his marrying Qin Shaojing will not cause any harm to Cheng Hui, so how can she interfere?
But Lu Lingjun.
He owed her too many favors and favours.
He always had to listen more to and think more about what she said.
It is not that easy to be ungrateful. It is very painful!
He himself didn't want to do that!
He pondered for a long time, so long that Qin Shaojing became impatient and was about to turn his face away. Cheng Qi said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, I know you have many misunderstandings about Shaojing..."
"Enough, I don't want to listen to you saying this." Lu Lingjun interrupted him.
"No, I want to say that Shao Jing is really not the kind of person you think." Cheng Qi insisted on speaking, and he had to speak at length, "And we really don't want to seize your position. I can promise you that I will be adopted and inherit the title of Marquis. In the future, the Marquis' Mansion will still respect the lineage of sister-in-law and brother Yun Shuo. When Bing'an grows up, I will give him the title of Marquis! I swear here!"
Lu Lingjun couldn't help but laugh after listening to him talk so much.
He explained so much just to ease the guilt in his heart.
He even swore solemnly and tried to fool everyone.
But doesn't he really know that his words can only fool himself, but no one else!
Even Qin Shaojing, who was beside him, almost laughed out of the mockery in his eyes when he heard his sincere words.
"Cheng Qi, since you are determined to marry her, then marry her." Lu Lingjun said.
Cheng Qi heard her tone and didn't believe him at all, "Sister-in-law! We really want to help you, for the good of the Marquis' Mansion..."
"That's enough, go back, I wish you all the best." Lu Lingjun said.
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Shaojing said lazily at this time, "Okay, Brother Cheng Qi, let's go."
She pulled Cheng Qi and walked forward first.
Cheng Qi was pulled by her and followed her away. When passing by Lu Lingjun, he tried to open his mouth to express his thoughts again, but when he met her cold and disappointed eyes, he clenched his fists and sighed.
After they left, Shuang Hong walked up to her and said, "Madam, what should we do now? Should we spread the news?"
Lu Lingjun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Zhenjun General's Mansion to collect a debt first."
After Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi returned to the General's Mansion, not long after, a man came to the door.
"General, the shopkeeper of Xikelai is here to collect the bills. He wants to settle the bill for the things that were delivered to our house before."
Cheng Qi was stunned when he heard this.
Qin Shaojing frowned and asked, "What account?"
"All the decorations inside and outside our general's mansion, such as screens, gauze curtains, and so on, were sent from them."
"Whose store is Xikelai? Why do you buy all the things from it?" Qin Shaojing was displeased.
Cheng Qi then spoke up, "It's my sister-in-law's store."
Hearing that it was Lu Lingyun's store, Qin Shaojing was stunned at first, and then he spat with disdain, "How stingy, you're still paying us for these things!"
In her mind, she thought that this was the only way Lu Lingjun could vent his anger, which was really ridiculous.
"Please let someone in." Cheng Qi said.
"yes."
After a while, Dongsheng came in with the bill, "General Cheng, here is the bill, please take a look."
"No need, just go to our warehouse and get the money."
Dongsheng cleared his throat after hearing this and said, "Well, the total is 2,253 taels. We all know each other. The master asked me to round off the amount, so I'll give you 2,250 taels."
"What!" Qin Shaojing glared when he heard the bill of two thousand taels, "What kind of rubbish in your store is worth two thousand taels!"
"Madam, this is the bill. You can check it carefully. What we send you are the best goods in our warehouse. For example, this Huanghuali root carving tea table is made of the finest Qiongzhou Huanghuali. Huanghuali wood as thick as an arm is worth a fortune! Everything we have is top-notch!" Dongsheng said with a smile.
Their stuff is good, but not that expensive!
For some things, the market price is the market price, the actual selling price is the actual selling price, and the purchase price is another thing.
The bills they gave to Cheng Qi were all based on the highest prices on the market!
All of them were sold at the highest prices on the market. The items previously delivered to Cheng Qi had a total purchase price of only a few hundred taels of silver, and could only be sold for more than a thousand taels.
If you report it to him, he will be severely slaughtered!
You should know that Lu Lingjun bought Lu Kuan a big house in the east of the city for only three thousand taels of silver!
"Why are your things so expensive!" Qin Shaojing closed the list and said, "We don't want them, take them all back!"
After she finished speaking, Cheng Qi said, "Go to the warehouse to get the money."
"Thank you, sir! I hope you will be promoted and make a fortune!" Dongsheng said flatteringly, and went downstairs with the bill to collect the money.
Lu Lingjun knew that Cheng Qi would not have the face to bargain with her at this moment, let alone take the things away, so she took this opportunity to rip him off.
Her things are not for ungrateful people!
Just think of it as collecting some interest first and then rip him off!
After Dongsheng went to collect the money, Qin Shaojing, who had been secretly cheated, was furious. She was no longer the wife of the Duke's Mansion. How much wealth did Cheng Qi have? How could he afford to spend it like this!
Besides, what a bunch of crap these are.
"Cheng Qi, you are asking to be slaughtered! How can these pieces of junk be worth more than two thousand taels of silver?"
"Okay." Cheng Qi let the matter go.
Qin Shaojing was dissatisfied when he saw him like this, and snorted, "From today on, I will be in charge of your household expenses! You are not allowed to spend money recklessly anymore!"
These things became Cheng Qi's wasteful spending. Cheng Qi was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, but he didn't care about it at the moment. He just said, "Of course, you should be in charge of the household expenses."
"You are so easy to talk to, so soft-hearted that you let people bully you," Qin Shaojing still didn't let him go, muttering, "Lu Lingjun is really hopeless. She has the nerve to come and collect the debt for such a small thing! The thing is so rotten, and it has been so long. I think she is deliberately setting a trap for you and your sister. She has been eyeing the money in your bank account for a long time!"
Cheng Qi felt very uncomfortable listening to Qin Shaojing's mumbling. He couldn't help but say, "Shaojing, sister-in-law is not that kind of person. Sister-in-law said she would give these things to us."
"She said she was giving it to you, but now she's here to collect the money? She's really sinister!"
"Shao Jing, we did something to disappoint her..."
"Come on! You are so stupid that you let others deceive you and still think she is a good person! You are so stupid and don't even know it!"
Hearing Qin Shaojing scolding like this, Cheng Qi felt for the first time that her perfect appearance was somewhat broken.
The date for Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi's wedding was set.
After hearing this, Cheng Hui cried again in the house. Cheng Qi even sent someone to ask her to go back. Cheng Hui put her hands on her hips and scolded the servant who was sent over, asking him to go back and tell Cheng Qi and Qin Shaojing that she would never go back, and that she would never have a brother like him.
After hearing this, Lu Lingjun said nothing. At this time, the servant came to tell her.
"The young mistress of Duke Zhao's mansion sent someone to deliver something."
"Please come in!"
After a while, Tong Nanxia's personal brought over a wooden box that had been there for many years. Lu Lingjun looked at the box and felt it looked familiar.
"Our young mistress asked me to tell you that this is the gift that Miss Qin sent on her wedding day."
Hearing this, Lu Lingjun remembered that, yes, she had seen this box.
It was the gift Qin Shaojing brought when he was going to attend Tong Nanxia's wedding.
Lu Lingjun opened the wooden box, and inside was a pair of glass wine glasses.
"Our young mistress also said that Miss Qin stopped our master from presenting him with a gift that day, wanting to show him in person the uniqueness of the wine glass, but she ran away again! Our young mistress sent someone to inspect a wine glass and found that the wall of the glass was coated with aphrodisiac drugs!"
When Lu Lingjun heard this, he suddenly realized and his eyes lit up.
She found it!
She understands!
It turns out that she went for Zhao Yanshu back then!
She definitely wanted to drug Zhao Yanshu under the pretext of offering a wine glass, and then have a fait accompli with him and marry him into the Duke of Zhao's mansion!
Unexpectedly, I ended up meeting Liu Ye...
Lu Lingjun found the key thing!
"Okay, thank your young lady for me." Lu Lingjun happily accepted the valuable gift in front of him.
"You're welcome, Madam. Our young mistress said that if she has the chance, she would like to explain some things to General Cheng in person. Maybe she can help you a little more!"
When Lu Lingjun heard this, she thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll invite your young mistress to come to my house tomorrow."
"yes."
The next day, Qin Shaojing brought Cheng Qi to the old lady's house again, urging her to recognize her son.
Lu Lingjun is here today too.
The two of them were first invited to Lu Lingyun's yard.
After drinking a cup of tea, Qin Shaojing said impatiently, "Sister-in-law, what's the point of you stopping us? It's better to welcome Cheng Qi into the house openly. In the future, we can get along well!"
In her opinion, Lu Lingjun was at his wit's end by trying to stop her like this.
What's the use of this!
Qin had already promised her and would obey her every word. Lu Lingjun had no way to change Qin's mind.
Besides delaying and stopping her day by day, could she kill Qin?
If she really dares to do this, she will sue the emperor and have her killed!
Her Duke Qin's Mansion has collapsed, but it is not gone. Now is the critical moment, and any trouble that happens to the Qin family can be blamed on her!
As Qin's niece, she kept her eyes fixed on this place. If she dared to attack Qin, she would definitely make sure she was finished!
At the same time, as long as Qin is not dead, she will not be able to stop Cheng Qi from inheriting the title!
So, Lu Lingjun had no choice!
When Lu Lingjun heard Qin Shaojing's impatient and complacent voice, she looked at Cheng Qi and said, "Cheng Qi, your wedding date is set for three days from now?"
"Yes," Qin Shaojing answered without Cheng Qi's answer, "Aunt is looking forward to our early marriage and her love for us."
Lu Lingjun glanced at her and said, "Shao Jing, if you want to see your mother, go first."
Qin Shaojing was startled when he heard this.
A hint of surprise rose in his eyes.
Is Lu Lingjun...cowardly?
But at this moment, there was no need to worry about whether Lu Lingjun was really timid or not. After hearing this, she stood up happily and said, "Sister-in-law, if you had done this earlier, it would have been so much better for all of us! Cheng Qi is originally a son of the Marquis's family. With him around, you have nothing to worry about!"
"You're right." Lu Lingjun nodded in response.
Qin Shaojing really felt that Lu Lingjun had given up at this moment. She took Cheng Qi's arm and said, "Brother Cheng Qi, let's go quickly. Today is also a good day. Let's ask my aunt to ask for a title for us before our wedding. It will be a double happiness for us!"
Cheng Qi stood up stiffly following her, keeping his head down and not daring to look up.
When he was about to leave, Lu Lingjun called him, "Second Master Cheng."
"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to do?"
"You have such a great cause, how can you not ask Huihui to participate? Why don't you go and persuade Huihui today." Lu Lingjun asked him to stay.
Qin Shaojing could tell that Lu Lingjun wanted to send Cheng Qi away, so she frowned and said, "Let's meet my aunt later and settle the matter of the title first."
But this time, Cheng Qi rarely went against her wishes, "You go see Mrs. Xue first, I'll go see Huihui."
Qin Shaojing showed displeasure when she heard this, but she glanced at Lu Lingjun standing beside her, and weighed the pros and cons in her mind, fearing that Lu Lingjun would regret it again or do something weird to stop her and Qin, so she decided to go see Qin first.
"Okay, come here quickly."
"Okay." Cheng Qi nodded.
Qin Shaojing walked towards Ningxin Courtyard, while he walked towards the courtyard where Cheng Hui lived.
When he was halfway there, someone suddenly called him from behind.
"General Cheng."
When Cheng Qi turned around, he saw Tong Nanxia, who was dressed in fine clothes and as beautiful as a fairy.
"Is it you?"
Tong Nanxia gave the people behind her a look, telling them to step aside. She looked at Cheng Qi in front of her with complicated eyes and bowed to him first, "General Cheng, thank you for helping me pick up the handkerchief here a few years ago."
"You're too polite. It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it." After Cheng Qi said this, he turned around and was about to leave.
"General Cheng." Tong Nanxia called him again.
"What else do you want?"
"General Cheng, do you believe me?"
Cheng Qi frowned when he heard this, "What do you mean?"
"I want to ask you first, do you believe me?" Tong Nanxia looked at him with light in her eyes, full of expectation and seriousness.
Cheng Qi took a look and quickly looked away, "You are different from your sisters. I trust you."
At this time, Tong Nanyuan, who was far away at Lu's house, sneezed loudly for no apparent reason.
Tong Nanyuan covered her nose and frowned, "I must have been scolded by some stupid people!"
When Tong Nanxia heard this, her eyes became brighter and brighter. She looked at Cheng Qi and said to him, "If you believe me, I will tell you, General Cheng, it was not me who pushed Miss Qin into the water."
When Cheng Qi heard this, he was slightly stunned and then frowned.
Qin Shaojing's fate was changed when she fell into the water. If she hadn't fallen into the water, her reputation would not have been ruined.
At that time, Qin Shaojing kept telling others that it was Tong Nanxia who pushed her down.
He heard her say that and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's been many years since this happened. It's not important anymore."
"It's not that it's unimportant. Back then, she was the one who wanted to push me!"
Tong Nanxia said this with great solemnity and seriousness.
Over the years, she has been thinking about what happened back then.
She was very soft-hearted back then, and believed whatever others said, not daring to refute them at all.
In other words, Lu Lingjun once seriously asked her whether she did it.
Afterwards, she thought about it over and over again, deeply.
The more I thought about it, the clearer my mind became. It wasn't her who pushed me at all.
But now, she has completely figured it out. It wasn't just her who pushed him back then, but Qin Shaojing who wanted to push her!
She wanted to pull her into the water, but she just dodged it!
When Cheng Qi heard Tong Nanxia say this, he was stunned.
"General Cheng, I swear on my life that I never lied to you. Back then, Qin Shaojing wanted to push me, but I dodged her accidentally and ended up falling into the water. She lied to all of us." Tong Nanxia said solemnly, word by word.
After hearing all this, Cheng Qi stood there for a long time. After a while, he frowned and turned around, leaving only one sentence, "The past is over."
Seeing him like this, Tong Nanxia got anxious. She hurried forward and said, "General Cheng, you were deceived by Qin Shaojing. She is a person full of lies! She has concealed more than one thing from you. Don't be deceived by her again!"
At this time, a cold snort came from behind her, "Okay, I knew that Lu Lingjun had bad intentions. It turns out that she asked her cousin to seduce my fiancé!"
Qin Shaojing brought Nanny Qin over.
After arriving at Ningxin Courtyard, Qin Shaojing realized that Lu Lingjun was definitely not so kind and definitely had a trick up her sleeve. After thinking about it, she turned back, found Cheng Qi, and took him to see Qin.
Sure enough, she heard Tong Nanxia say this as soon as she arrived.
She stepped forward with sarcasm in her eyes, "Madam Tong, you stepped on me to marry into the Duke of Zhao's mansion, and now you want to slander me. You sisters are really scheming!"
"I didn't, I just..."
"Just what! A single man and a single woman are meeting in private here. Madam Tong, don't forget that you are a married woman now! If Master Zhao knew that you were meeting my fiancé in private, what do you think he would say!"
When Tong Nanxia heard this, she immediately shut her mouth, with a look of grievance and forbearance on her face.
Seeing this, Cheng Qi said, "Shao Jing, you can't say that about Madam Tong. She has always been a kind and good girl."
"Oh! You are still a kind-hearted girl! Come and listen to my fiancé praising the young lady of Duke Zhao's mansion!" Qin Shaojing suddenly said in a sarcastic tone.
When Cheng Qi heard this, he couldn't hold back his expression, "Shao Jing."
"Then tell me, what did she just say to you!" Qin Shaojing said forcefully.
Cheng Qi glanced at Tong Nanxia and finally said, "She didn't say anything."
Qin Shaojing sneered, "Really?"
Cheng Qi took a deep breath and looked at Qin Shaojing in front of Tong Nanxia, "Shaojing, no matter what she says, it can't change your position in my heart. I will never do anything to let you down."
He said this solemnly and affectionately, and Qin Shaojing, who was about to make a fuss, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Yes, no matter what, this dog Cheng Qi is crazy about her.
As long as he is still obsessed with her, those provocations are nothing.
No matter how these people instigate, no one can shake her position in Cheng Qi's heart!
She couldn't help but snort with pride, "That's it for this time, let's go see my aunt."
"Okay." Cheng Qi almost forgot about his sister and followed Qin Shaojing.
After the two of them left, Tong Nanxia looked at Cheng Qi's back and let out a long sigh.
She felt only regret and loss.
If I were to be so affectionate towards her...
What a pity...
Qin Shaojing came out of Ningxin Courtyard with a happy face.
Lu Lingjun had no other means at all. Qin was still as confused as ever, so she had to control him ruthlessly!
She has already agreed with Qin that tomorrow she will go to the palace to ask for the title.
What surprised her even more was that Lu Lingjun didn't stop her at all this time!
The affairs of Ningxinyuan would definitely not escape her eyes and ears, but until Qin agreed with a smile, and even wrote the adoption documents today, Lu Lingjun did not show up.
It seems that she has completely admitted this!
Qin Shaojing directly asked for the adoption document, and she personally delivered it to the clan house as a witness. As soon as the adoption document was delivered, Qin could naturally ask for a title for Cheng Qi as soon as tomorrow!
With this thing in hand, Cheng Qi is definitely a member of the Cheng family. No matter what tricks Lu Lingjun tries to play, it will be useless!
Qin Shaojing proudly carried his things in his pocket and left the house with Cheng Qi.
When passing through the garden, she saw Li Bixi again.
Li Bixiang was standing far away in a corner of the garden. After she passed by, she walked forward and greeted her warmly.
"Hello, cousin, hello, second master!"
"Auntie Li!" Qin Shaojing, who was very lucky today, saw Li Bixi and felt very pleased with her. Thinking of what she had done before, "Second Master has asked Aunt to adopt you as his second son. The documents have been written. You are smart. I like you. When I move to the Marquis' Mansion, you can come and serve me."
When Li Bixi heard this, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.
Cheng Qi has been adopted as the second son! The document will be delivered today!
She had heard about what Qin Shaojing was doing. If Cheng Qi inherited the title, he would be the real master of the Marquis' Mansion in the future!
And if Qin Shaojing marries him, she will be the new mistress of the Marquis's Mansion!
That Lu Lingjun is nothing!
"Thank you, cousin. It is my blessing to be able to serve you!" She congratulated repeatedly.
Qin Shaojing glanced at her and said nothing more. He enjoyed her compliments and walked away with Cheng Qi in a swagger.
After the two of them left, Li Bixi still couldn't take her eyes off them.
She just felt that her good days had finally come again.
She turned around and saw two people face to face.
"Aunt Li, what are you doing?"
"You are so happy, did something happy happen to you?"
Qiu Ling and Ling Long looked at her straight.
When Li Bixi saw the two of them, she felt guilty at first, then straightened her neck, "Aunt Qiu, Aunt Ling, I advise you two to find a new master as soon as possible. You have heard that the Second Master is going to move into the Marquis' Mansion, and the real mistress of this courtyard in the past is no longer that one."
Qiu Ling and Ling Long were filled with anger when they heard this. They looked at Li Bixi's smug look and said, "Oh! You also know that the Second Master hasn't taken over yet. Right now, the mansion is still ruled by the Young Madam! We are in charge of the harem on behalf of the Young Madam, so we have the final say!"
After they finished talking, they dragged Li Bixi to Qiuxiang Courtyard to clean up.
"You guys are so stupid... Ouch! You're going to regret this!"
"You will regret it!"
Li Bixiang made some harsh remarks, just waiting to turn the tables and take revenge!
At this time, Qin Shaojing took Cheng Qi to the clan house to present the adoption documents. The moment Cheng Qi went in, she who was standing outside felt her eyes light up.
Inside, the official from the Imperial Clan Court who received the document took the item and looked at Cheng Qi with a complicated look. He said, "I heard that General Cheng is going to marry Madam Qin from Duke Liu's mansion?"
"yes."
"If you want to marry her, I'm afraid this adoption won't work!"
"Why?" Cheng Qi was puzzled.
The official gave him a meaningful smile, "General Cheng, don't you know that the affair between Madam Qin and the second master of Duke Liu is known to everyone in the capital! Now not only will your adoption be difficult, but the title of Duke Liu's mansion will also be affected!"
Qin Shaojing was waiting at the gate of the clan residence.
Seeing Cheng Qi coming out, she immediately stepped forward with joy, "Great, once the adoption document is delivered, you will be the second son of the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion. Tomorrow we will bring my aunt to the palace to ask for the title. No one will be able to take your position as Ningyang Marquis!"
Qin Shaojing muttered excitedly, and Cheng Qi's eyes, who was standing next to her, became more solemn and deep.
He didn't speak for a long time. Qin Shaojing, who was ecstatic, gradually realized that something was wrong. She turned to look at Cheng Qi, "What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Qi stared at Qin Shaojing's face and said slowly, "Shaojing, if I were not the Marquis of Ningyang, would you still be willing to marry me?"
When Qin Shaojing heard Cheng Qi say this, anger immediately rose on his perfect face.
What is he going to do!
She had tried her best and even gave up the wealthy life in Duke Liu's mansion for him, and now he said this to her.
"Did something go wrong with you?" Qin Shaojing said angrily.
"No, Shao Jing, I just want to ask you, if I were not the Marquis of Ningyang, would you be willing to marry me?"
"Cheng Qi, don't ask me this kind of question at this time. Have you sent the document?!" Qin Shaojing didn't want to answer his stupid question at all.
He is not the Marquis of Ningyang, he answered himself, who is willing to marry him!
Is it because he is a pauper, because he is dark-skinned, and because he has no future?
Seeing that Qin Shaojing was only concerned with his adoption document, the light in Cheng Qi's eyes dimmed bit by bit. He pursed his lips tightly and held the returned document tightly in his sleeve.
Just now, someone from the clan office told him that there would be no problem for him to be adopted into the Ningyang Marquis's mansion as the second son, but if he wanted to marry the divorced Qin, then his adoption would definitely not work.
The affair between the divorced Qin and her father-in-law was widely rumored, and Your Majesty had heard about it. As for how Your Majesty knew about it, perhaps he overheard it from an official in charge of writing at the Grand Council during a meeting.
Anyway, after hearing what His Majesty heard, he felt sick and called the seriously ill old Duke Liu to the palace to scold him. He had just released him an hour ago with a bloody face.
Everyone knows that the Liuguo Mansion has displeased His Majesty because of this incident, and the future of the Liuguo Mansion must be damaged. Fortunately, Qin was divorced before, otherwise she would definitely be hanged by now.
The people from the clan affairs office hinted to Cheng Qi in both explicit and implicit ways that if he chose to be adopted into the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion, he should not marry Qin. If he wanted to marry Qin, then his adoption would certainly disgust His Majesty.
As for the dirty private affairs of officials in their backyards, His Majesty would not interfere as long as they did not involve matters as serious as disloyalty or unfilial piety, which could result in the death penalty. But everyone knew that although His Majesty would not single them out for punishment, once His Majesty knew about their affairs, their future would be ruined.
Just like the Mansion of Duke Liu, it has already run into bad luck. No matter who gets the position of Duke in the future, it will never be given to the lineage of the second master of the Liu family!
He advised Cheng Qi to be cautious, but Cheng Qi chose to take the document back without hesitation.
At this time, Qin Shaojing found the document hidden in his sleeve. She pulled it and took it out. She found that it was the adoption document that she had coaxed and deceived. She was very angry and said, "What are you doing! Why don't you send it up! Don't you want to marry me? Go quickly, and send it again while the time is right. Don't delay tomorrow's important event!"
"Do you really want me to send you off?" Cheng Qi looked at her and said this, lacking his usual warmth.
Qin Shaojing was anxious at this time, but she also found Cheng Qi's somewhat strange attitude. She suppressed her anxiety, "Brother Cheng Qi, have you listened to Lu Lingjun's instigation again? I know, it must be what Tong Nanxia said to you in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion just now. The two sisters are really vicious! In order to stop you from inheriting the title, they used every means. You must not fall into their trap at this critical moment!"
Until now, all Cheng Qi heard was Qin Shaojing's bad words about Lu Lingjun. For some reason, he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.
As long as she told him that she was willing to marry him, even if he was not the Marquis of Ningyang, even if it was extremely difficult, he would not regret being with her.
And at this moment, he wavered.
He looked at Qin Shaojing who kept urging him to go in and hand in the documents again, and said, "Don't regret it if you want me to go."
"What should I regret? Go quickly!" Qin Shaojing stuffed the document back into his hands and half-pushed him inside.
Cheng Qi grasped the document in his palm again, his eyes flashed, and he strode back into the clan residence.
When Qin Shaojing saw him go back in, he couldn't help but feel relieved and his eyes lit up again.
I don't know what they said to that stupid Cheng Qi, but he didn't even want the title of Marquis! Ridiculous!
Fortunately, she found it.
Lu Lingjun didn't succeed!
At this moment, a carriage came quickly towards Qin Shaojing.
The carriage stopped, and several servants and a nanny quickly got out of it.
Qin Shaojing recognized at a glance the clothes the servants were wearing, the emblem of Duke Liu's Mansion hanging on their carriage, and the head nanny - the head nanny who was the housekeeper of her great-grandmother!
"What are you going to do!" Qin Shaojing looked at the people from Duke Liu's mansion coming towards her in horror.
The head nanny looked at her, "Second Madam Ye, bah! Qin, you have done something good yourself and you still have the nerve to ask!"
"What did I do!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take the man back!" The head nanny waved her hand and ordered her subordinates to rush forward. Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi went out with only a coachman and Nanny Qin as their servant. The servants quickly held down the coachman and Nanny Qin, and forked Qin Shaojing into the Liu family's carriage.
Qin Shaojing saw this and shouted, "What are you doing! I have nothing to do with Duke Liu's Mansion! You dare to arrest me, don't you take our Duke Qin's Mansion and my aunt's Ningyang Marquis Mansion seriously?"
The head nanny sneered, "You slut, you still have the nerve to say that. If you were more obedient, you could keep those dirty and lewd things you did to yourself. But you, a fool, still dare to spread it around. You really don't take our Liuguo Mansion seriously! Even if your brother and your aunt came today, we would still arrest them!"
Qin Shaojing was stunned when he heard this.
What?
The dirty and lewd things she did...spread them to others?
This, what is going on!
She didn't know that her dirty affair with her ex-father-in-law had already spread throughout the capital, and Duke Liu was even called before the emperor to be reprimanded for his mismanagement of the household. Now everyone knew about her affair.
The Liu Guogong Mansion didn't think too much about it. They must have thought that it was Qin Shaojing who spread it himself!
After all, such a private matter is only known by Qin Shaojing besides the parties involved in the second house!
Who among outsiders would know that Qin Shaojing was having an affair with her father-in-law!
"I, I, it's not me!"
"Bah, you slut! Who else could it be but you?" The head housekeeper slapped Qin Shaojing in the face.
Today she came out to arrest someone on the orders of the old Duke and his wife. Not to mention that Qin Shaojing is no longer their young mistress, even if she is, she can still slap her a few times today!
She single-handedly ruined the future of the Liu family!
The old Duke was scolded back by His Majesty!
What does it matter if she gets slapped a few times!
Qin Shaojing was stunned by the slap, but then she realized that she was finished!
She couldn't figure out who had been asked to spread the news that she and her ex-father-in-law were having an affair. On her side, only she and Nanny Qin knew about it, not to mention the Liu family. A small group of people in the Liu family knew about it, but none of them dared to tell anyone!
Even if people from the first wife gossip about her outside, they dare not say it out loud!
What happened to Liu Qingshuang before was proof of that!
What's more, they didn't even know who she was having an affair with!
So, how could anyone know her big secret!
This is impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
But at this moment, in addition to shock, fear and confusion, she was more aware that she must not be taken away by them!
Now that the secret has been leaked, the people in Duke Liu's mansion will definitely think that she did it, and she will have no way to defend herself. Even if this matter does not benefit her at all, it is because of her that the reputation and future of the Liu family have been ruined, and they will never let her go!
"Help—"
"Save me—"
"Murder—"
Qin Shaojing yelled at the top of his lungs.
When the head nanny saw this, she frowned, slapped her twice, picked up a cloth and stuffed it into her mouth. Just as she was about to drag Qin Shaojing onto the carriage, a man ran out from the gate of the clan residence.
"stop!"
Cheng Qi kicked forward, sending several servants flying. He then threw a few more punches, breaking up the servants who were holding Qin Shaojing. His last kick was at the old lady, snatching her away.
Before Qin Shaojing could catch his breath, the old lady who was kicked yelled, "This is our family matter! Hurry and hand that slut over to us!"
When Cheng Qi heard this, he looked at the furious old nanny who was holding the carriage, "Shao Jing has been divorced by Duke Liu's family. It has nothing to do with you!"
When the head maid heard this, she frowned, "But she was divorced because she was not a faithful wife. She also spread her scandals everywhere and slandered our Duke's Mansion! We can't let this bitch go!"
Qin Shaojing heard this and grabbed Cheng Qi tightly, "Brother Cheng Qi, save me."
Cheng Qi's eyes were deep at this time. He looked at Qin Shaojing, who was slapped hard several times and had a red and swollen face. In her extremely eager eyes, he said, "Shaojing is my fiancée. She is already mine. If you want to find her in Liu Guogong Mansion, you can find my Zhenjun General Mansion."
His words shocked the head steward on the opposite side.
She looked at Cheng Qi's green head. At this moment, someone actually took the initiative to wear this hat.
"You, you still don't know about the obscene things she did." The head housekeeper pointed at Qin Shaojing.
Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Cheng Qi resolutely said, "I know."
He wore this hat firmly.
After Cheng Qi said this, the housekeeper was completely speechless.
She looked at the glowing green Cheng Qi for a long time, then waved her hand and said, "Let's retreat."
Anyone who came out today was from Qin Shaojing's mother's family or his aunt's family, and they could take them away.
They even had to take the initiative to send people over and apologize to them.
But Cheng Qi is her new husband's family.
She has the protection of her new husband, so if her ex-husband's family wants to cause trouble for her, they can only find Cheng Qi.
Just like what he told them, ask them to go to the General's Mansion.
In this case, the head nanny had no choice but to take everyone back first.
Tell her masters that even if Qin Shaojing's new husband is cuckolded, he must protect her as a slut!
After the Liu family left, Qin Shaojing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Cheng Qi in panic, "Brother Cheng Qi, I, I, I, someone is trying to hurt me!"
When Cheng Qi heard her say this, his eyes were filled with disappointment. He looked at Qin Shaojing and asked, "You mean, someone spread rumors about you?"
When Qin Shaojing heard him ask this, his eyes wandered and he quickly lowered them, "Brother Cheng Qi, you have to believe me..."
After she said this, even she herself didn't believe it.
But after a while, a voice came from above her head.
"I believe you."
Qin Shaojing: "…."
When she looked up, she saw Cheng Qi let go of her hand and walked towards their carriage.
She also wanted to ask whether Cheng Qi had sent the adoption documents, but after looking at Cheng Qi's expression, she thought about it and put it aside.
Now, her most important thing is to stabilize Cheng Qi first.
Her biggest scandal has been exposed, and now she is a pariah in Beijing.
She had nowhere else to go except Cheng Qi's place.
It was even said that if she left Cheng Qi, the people in Duke Liu's mansion would capture and kill her immediately.
Therefore, the most urgent task now is not the title of Marquis of Ningyang Mansion, but her marriage with Cheng Qi first!
She should marry him first, then it won't be too late to seize the title of marquis!
After Qin Shaojing turned his eyes away, he quickly caught up with Cheng Qi and returned to the General's Mansion with him.
At this time, in Ningyang Marquis Mansion.
In Lu Lingyun's yard.
Lu Kuan is here.
"Big sister, it's done." Lu Kuan said to her with a smile.
"Today, His Majesty summoned Duke Liu to the palace and gave him a stern rebuke. Didn't you see that his face was completely black when he came out of His Majesty's presence?"
Hearing this, Lu Lingjun smiled and poured Lu Kuan a cup of tea, "Kuan'er, you did a good job."
Lu Kuan took the teacup and drank it all. When he put it down, he couldn't help but think of something, "By the way, big sister, how did you know the secrets in Duke Liu's mansion?"
Hearing this, Lu Lingjun smiled faintly, "This is a secret."
The secret is that she was reborn!
In the previous life, also in these few years, the scandalous secrets of Duke Liu's mansion were exposed, but it did not reach the ears of His Majesty, but was known to everyone outside.
In this life, she just took advantage of the situation and acted as a pusher, causing the Liu Guogong Mansion and Qin Shaojing to be destroyed.
Qin Shaojing's scandal was exposed, and Duke Liu's Mansion believed that she was the one who leaked it. They would definitely hold her accountable.
Qin Shaojing had no future at all.
It all depends on whether Cheng Qi wants her.
If Cheng Qi doesn't want her, she will be dead.
If Cheng Qi wants her, she will die if she stays with Cheng Qi.
There is no way that Duke Liu's Mansion will swallow this humiliation. They will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate severely.
Lu Lingjun was scraping the tea bowl. She was not a good person at all. If she wanted to attack them, she would kill them with one blow.
After Lu Kuan left Lu Lingjun, Lu Lingjun was thinking about the revenge that would come from Duke Liu's mansion later.
She called Shuanghong over and asked, "Have you delivered the things to Liu Ye?"
"Dongsheng has already been sent."
"Well done." Lu Lingjun smiled faintly.
It is said that when killing someone, one must destroy the person's heart.
It's not enough to just borrow the knife from Duke Liu's mansion to kill them, we also have to ruthlessly destroy their hearts!
—
The General's Mansion.
That night, someone threw manure outside the General Zhenjun's mansion.
"General, something terrible has happened!" The next morning, the gatekeeper opened the door and discovered what had happened, then rushed into Cheng Qi's house to report it.
"What's up?"
"Our gate, our gate was splashed with feces!"
Cheng Qi: "…"
"General, we have to report this to the Jinwu Guards and ask them to investigate!"
He listened to the servants and said, "Forget it, have someone clean the gate and send more people to guard the gate tonight."
There are some things that you don't even need to check to know who did it.
Cheng Qi lowered his eyes and just asked someone to clean the gate and send more people to guard it.
The housekeeper heard, "Yes."
But today they cleaned the gate during the day and asked people to throw feces at night.
This time the area was even larger, and the entire Zhenjun General's Mansion was splashed along the courtyard wall.
The gatekeepers noticed the people and started running after them, but as soon as they ran away, a group of people rushed up and poured buckets of water on their gate and plaque.
The servant came back and stepped on the door that was covered with shit and urine, screaming in despair.
How can we defend this?
On the second day, all the neighbors around the Zhenjun General's Mansion smelled something and looked at the new family with frowns and their hands covering their noses.
Everyone asked each other and inquired about it. When they found out that this was General Cheng who was going to marry the abandoned woman from Duke Liu's mansion who had an affair with their father-in-law, they all had disgust and hatred on their faces. What was even worse was that they had to smell the stench of shit every day.
Everyone is cursing the adulterers outside, saying that it is immoral and unethical. It is unfortunate to be neighbors with such a family.
Cheng Qifu suddenly became hated by all the neighbors around him.
Being scolded and pointed at would be fine, but whenever the servants of the Zhenjun General's Mansion went out to buy things or do anything else, they would be put in sacks by unknown people, dragged to a corner and beaten.
"General..."
When Cheng Qi and Qin Shaojing were eating in the house, a servant who was beaten black and blue came over and cried about being beaten.
Hearing that incidents were happening one after another in his own general's mansion, Qin Shaojing lowered his head while eating and dared not say a word.
When Lu Lingjun came to collect the debt, she could point at Cheng Qi's nose and scold him, telling him what to do and what to do.
At this moment, no one dared to make any sound.
How could she dare to jump out and ask what happened? She dragged Cheng Qi to report to the police and ask someone to deal with it.
It is clear at a glance that this is a means of revenge by Duke Liu's Mansion!
Sometimes, the revenge of the high-ranking officials in the capital city is not always fair and just. They often go to extremes and resort to despicable and vile means.
I'll make it impossible for you to survive in the capital!
After all, if Duke Liu's Mansion openly targeted the General Zhenjun's Mansion, everyone would know that it was because of the incident of their daughter-in-law having an affair with their father-in-law!
If the matter gets any bigger, it will only disgust His Majesty and make everyone laugh at him.
This insidious and despicable method is not visible in the light, but it is extremely effective!
If someone went out of the Zhenjun General's Mansion, they would beat him. If they wanted to buy something, they would destroy it. Every night, they would throw manure on their house to make their whole family stink.
That is to say, the Zhenjun General's Mansion has no property. If they had a shop and a few acres of land, they could ruin their property and destroy their farms, and they would be unable to do anything they were told to do!
It doesn't matter if the trick is brilliant, as long as it is useful.
They cannot have good meals, they cannot go out, they are scolded by everyone, and no one is allowed to associate with their family.
As long as Cheng Qi and Qin Shaojing live in the capital, they can torture them.
Qin Shaojing lowered his head and dared not say a word. Cheng Qi looked at the servant who was beaten and sighed deeply, "Go to the clinic to bandage it and put it on our account."
"General, I just went to the clinic, but the people there didn't dare to sell us medicine when they heard that I was from our Zhenjun General's Mansion."
When Cheng Qi heard this, his eyes were filled with fatigue. "Go to the storehouse and get a bottle of golden wound medicine. Apply it on yourself first."
"Yes." The servant covered his face.
The servants in the Zhenjun General's Mansion are all Cheng Qi's personal soldiers who followed him to the border, and they are loyal to Cheng Qi.
After the beaten servant left, Cheng Qi's housekeeper stepped forward and said, "General, tomorrow is your wedding day, and our banquet..."
Cheng Qi thought about it and said, "Just do as I say."
"yes."
The housekeeper went out to continue to arrange the wedding arrangements for tomorrow.
He frowned and sighed, "Alas~ the first thing to do is to wash the door!"
"Everyone, get moving. Wash the door and the courtyard wall first. Wash them thoroughly! The general is getting married tomorrow, and there can't be any smell!"
When the servants heard what the housekeeper said, they all looked worried.
He has been washing his own front door for several days in a row. How can this be a decent family?
"If you ask me, our general is really out of his mind. He shouldn't marry that bitch!" said a servant dissatisfiedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Brother Zhang, don't you see it yourself? She has brought trouble to our General's Mansion, which just won a victory! Now we dare not even go out of the gate. If we go out, people will point at us and scold us!"
When the butler heard this, he was silent for a moment, frowning and saying nothing.
Others complained in a flurry.
"I don't know what kind of bewitching potion that whore has given our general! A divorced and abandoned woman has bewitched him!"
"I feel so sorry for the general! He was so brave at the border, but in the end he had to marry such a slut!"
"Don't tell me that the whore is going to be our mistress in the future. With her lewd appearance, she doesn't look like a mistress at all. I don't know how many times she will cuckold our general in the future!"
The complaints of the crowd became louder and louder, and were heard by Nanny Qin. After hearing this, Nanny Qin put her hands on her hips and cursed angrily.
"What are you talking about! You're calling me a slut!"
When Butler Zhang saw Nanny Qin coming out, he stepped forward to smooth things over, "Nanny Qin, it's nothing, you heard it wrong."
"Do you think I'm deaf or blind? You are all so rebellious that you dare to openly scold your mistress in the mansion. I think you all want to die! Where are the family rules! Drag all of you away and beat them with sticks!"
When Butler Zhang heard this, he said, "Madam Qin, we are all rough men from the border, and we don't have a good mouth. Please let this go for my sake."
"Give you face? Who do you think you are?" Nanny Qin raised her eyebrows.
"How can you talk like that! Our brother Zhang used to be the general's deputy general!"
"Our brother Zhang could have been awarded the title of a centurion, but he resigned to follow the general! How can an old witch like you scold him?"
"Your master is a whore and a slut, and you old woman are also a cheap slut!"
"What's wrong with scolding your whore master? Even the prostitutes who work for two cents in Pimp Alley are cleaner than your master!"
"You dare to hit us? Come on, come on!"
The servants in the yard rushed forward and vented all their dissatisfaction with Qin Shaojing.
"Rebellion! All of you have rebelled!"
Cheng Qi was just worrying about what was happening outside when Nanny Qin came running in crying and complaining.
Qin Shaojing saw that Nanny Qin was being bullied, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"Miss, there is a rebellion, there is a rebellion!" Nanny Qin exaggerated the slanders against her by the servants outside.
It was just that Qin Shaojing had slept with countless people, and he thought it was dirty for them to sleep with her!
Butler Zhang followed in and heard what Nanny Qin said. He hurriedly explained, "General, it's not like what she said!"
"Don't try to make excuses here. Didn't you and your men call our young lady a whore?"
"That's not what you said! We are telling the truth!"
Qin Shaojing was so angry when he heard this, "Cheng Qi! Did you hear that? Your people are going to rebel!"
"That's enough!"
With a bang, Cheng Qi slammed the table heavily.
Qin Shaojing suddenly calmed down from the anger. She looked at Cheng Qi with twinkling eyes, pouted her lips, and tears fell. "Brother Cheng Qi, do you dislike me? If you dislike me, I'd rather die than embarrass you..."
Cheng Qi looked at the crying Qin Shaojing. After feeling the pressure these days and knowing Qin Shaojing's unknown secrets, he no longer had the feeling of pity that he had before.
He just said, "I'm going out to relax."
He said, and strode out of the house.
Qin Shaojing's tears stopped when she saw this. She looked at Cheng Qi's back with dissatisfaction, turned her head and glared at Nanny Qin, "Don't make trouble these days!"
"But Miss..."
"Let's talk about everything after I get married!" After saying that, Qin Shaojing glanced at the housekeeper.
Humph! I'll deal with them after she gets married!
Cheng Qi rode his horse on the streets of the capital, and he always felt that there were people around who were pointing and talking about him.
Of course not, he is now famous in the capital.
He was going to marry Qin, the slut who was divorced by the Liu family. This was such a big deal that everyone in the capital knew about it.
Anyone who recognized his face would point at him and discuss it in private.
Cheng Qi felt everyone's gazes and finally decided to ride his horse out of the city.
After he wandered around outside the city, a carriage quickly stopped him.
Just as Cheng Qi was puzzled, Cheng Hui lifted the curtain of the carriage and appeared in front of him.
"Hui Hui?"
"Brother!" Cheng Hui looked at him with a complicated expression, "You regret it now!"
Cheng Qi shut up after hearing that.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Hui felt upset. She said to him, "At the beginning, all of us told you that Qin Shaojing had problems. She had a bad style and a vicious mind, but you didn't believe it! Now you finally see it! The one who had an affair with her was her father-in-law!"
"She disregards human ethics and has an affair with her father-in-law. She is extremely promiscuous. How can you marry such a woman?"
Listening to Cheng Hui's accusations, Cheng Qi spoke up in silence, "Shao Jing explained to me that she was forced."
"You also know that her family has fallen on hard times. When a person marries into a Duke's mansion, she is bound to be bullied. Her father-in-law used force on her, and she is also a victim..."
Cheng Hui: "...You are really hopeless!"
"Huihui." Cheng Qi looked up at her, "No matter what, Shaojing has agreed to marry me, so let's forget about what she did in the past."
Hearing this, Cheng Hui was so angry that her teeth itched. "You really won't give up even if you jump into the Yellow River. You knew that woman was a slut, why did you still believe her!"
"Shao Jing wasn't like this before." Cheng Qi was still trying to excuse her. He looked at Cheng Hui firmly, "Shao Jing was ruined by Liu Ye. That's why she gradually degenerated into this state!"
When Cheng Hui heard this, she suddenly sneered.
She looked at her brother with a sarcastic smile, but Cheng Qi was extremely firm.
That's right, his youth was so flawless, but she was ruined by Liu Ye at Tong Nanxia's wedding banquet and got stained by his dirty quagmire!
"Huihui, you are my biological sister. Will you come to my wedding tomorrow?"
"Yes, of course I will go!" Contrary to her usual behavior, Cheng Hui agreed to Cheng Qi's request.
When Cheng Qi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He even wondered if Cheng Hui had already forgiven and accepted them. Then he saw Cheng Hui agree and turn around to get into the car.
The carriage galloped away and returned to the capital.
Cheng Qi sighed heavily and followed him back to Beijing.
The next day.
Cheng Qi's wedding.
But on this day, no one came to the wedding.
The courtyard was empty.
When Cheng Qi was at the peak of his career, he received many invitations to make friends, but now, no one in the capital dares to get close to Cheng Qi.
When it was time to get married, someone finally showed up.
"elder brother!"
Cheng Hui and Lu Lingjun are here.
When Cheng Qi saw the two of them coming to attend his wedding, his eyes lit up.
"Huihui, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are here!" Cheng Qi watched the two of them coming and went to the door to greet them personally.
Lu Lingjun looked at Cheng Qi, who had looked haggard and haggard after not seeing him for a few days, and smiled faintly, "As your sister-in-law, it's only natural for me to get it."
When Cheng Qi heard this, he felt guilty and grateful.
Besides, my fondness for Lu Lingjun couldn't be greater.
He and Qin Shaojing treated her like that before, but she still forgot about it.
She is so... virtuous!
If Qin Shaojing says anything bad about her again, he won't be able to listen!
When Qin Shaojing heard that Lu Lingjun and Cheng Hui were coming to attend her wedding, she lifted her veil and walked out of the inner hall.
This is not her first marriage, so why should she observe so many etiquette? More importantly, she has to be on guard against both of them!
"Huihui and sister-in-law are here." Qin Shaojing stepped forward to greet them generously.
Seeing her walk out like this, Cheng Hui sneered and said, "Qin, you are really as unfaithful as the rumors say!"
When Qin Shaojing heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
"Huihui, talk less. Come in and have a drink." Cheng Qi was too lazy to argue about such things now, and quickly welcomed the two of them into the main room to eat.
Just then, another voice was heard outside the door.
"Well said! Qin Shi Huang is a very lewd woman. Everyone in the capital knows this!"
When the voice came out, everyone in front of the corridor looked outside the door and saw Liu Ye leading people in.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Qi frowned immediately.
"Oh! How can I not come on such a big day as my ex-wife's second wedding!" Liu Ye strode in, "Not only am I here, I also have to give you a wedding gift!"
He gave the servant a look, and the servant immediately handed him a wooden box.
The moment Qin Shaojing saw the wooden box, he froze in place.
Liu Ye's words made everyone at the scene silent, and everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on the wooden box he brought.
Cheng Qi frowned, not knowing what he was going to do.
At this time, Qin Shaojing rushed forward and tried to snatch the wooden box. Liu Ye was prepared. He dodged sideways and avoided Qin Shaojing, who instead pounced on Liu Ye.
"Qin, you are still so lewd and lowly. I divorced you, but you still throw yourself into my arms with lingering feelings!" Liu Ye raised his eyebrows and grabbed Qin Shaojing with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes.
When Qin Shaojing heard him say this, the expression on his face changed from time to time.
When Cheng Qi saw this, he was so embarrassed that he went up to grab Qin Shaojing back, but Liu Ye held Qin Shaojing tightly and refused to let go.
He frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Cheng Qi, it was your woman who threw herself into my arms, not me who took the initiative to get close to her. She has always been so slutty and lowly." Liu Ye looked at him with contempt and ridicule, and with hidden hatred in his eyes, he said, "What do you think, Qin?"
Cheng Qi's face turned green, "Let go of my wife! She's mine now!"
Liu Ye, the scoundrel, smiled and let go of her hand. "Okay, then how about this, you ask her, is she willing to go with me or with you?"
Cheng Qi ignored him and grabbed Qin Shaojing and took him back, but Qin Shaojing pushed him away.
She looked at him with clear eyes, "Brother Cheng Qi, wait a minute, I have something to say to him in private."
After saying that, she completely ignored Cheng Qi's embarrassed face and took the initiative to pull Liu Ye to the side room at the back. Liu Ye looked at him provocatively.
Cheng Qi's face was completely unable to hold back the tension, the green energy on his body rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his entire body was glowing green.
"Brother, this is the Miss Qin you mentioned who has a hidden cause and was forced! On the wedding day, she ran away with a man! How could she take you seriously? How long will you wear this cuckold?" Cheng Hui gave him a fatal blow at the right time.
This time, my uncle could tolerate it, but my aunt couldn't.
Cheng Qi looked at the two people who were pulling each other, shouted loudly, and rushed forward.
"Let her go!"
He strode in and pulled Qin Shaojing and Liu Ye apart.
Qin Shaojing was still trying to steady him at this time, "Brother Cheng Qi, don't be like this, this is a private matter between Liu Ye and me, don't you believe me?"
Cheng Qi's eyes turned red when he heard her treating him like a fool, "What else are you hiding from me?"
"They are just some unimportant little things. After all, I have been married to him for so many years, and there are always some things that need to be settled. Brother Cheng Qi, please don't ask anymore." Qin Shaojing said.
Liu Ye listened to their words and laughed in the back, "Hahaha, hahaha, it turns out there are people in this world who are more stupid than me. I was fooled around by this bitch. Cheng Qi, Cheng Qi, you shouldn't be called Cheng Qi, you should be called Cheng Wangba!"
After hearing this, Cheng Qi could no longer bear it and rushed forward to beat Liu Ye.
But this time Liu Ye wouldn't let him beat him, so he brought a few thugs and rushed forward to stop Cheng Qi.
Cheng Qi's neck turned red as he shouted, "You still have the nerve to say that. It was you who ruined Shao Jing's life. If you hadn't given her an aphrodisiac and ruined her reputation, how could she have fallen into this state? You promised me that you would take good care of her for the rest of her life, but you let her suffer all kinds of grievances in your house!"
"You are so stupid!" Liu Ye hid behind the servants and looked at the mad Cheng Qi angrily, "Let that bitch keep lying!"
"How dare you say that it wasn't you who ruined the good times!"
"I asked her to destroy it in the first place! She took the aphrodisiac herself and framed me!"
Liu Ye's words brought silence to the scene again.
The frantic Cheng Qi calmed down and looked at Liu Ye in front of him in disbelief.
Qin Shaojing was completely panicked at this time, "Brother Cheng Qi, don't listen to his nonsense."
"You bitch, I've got all the evidence!" Liu Ye grinned and took the box from his men.
Qin Shaojing saw the box being brought out again, she rushed to grab it, but Liu Ye pushed her away fiercely.
He opened the box in front of her, revealing two exquisite glass wedding wine glasses inside.
"This is the gift your wife sent to Young Master Zhao on his wedding day!" Liu Ye said, "The wedding wine glasses are filled with strong aphrodisiacs!"
The moment these words fell, Qin Shaojing, who was pushed down, lowered his head completely, while Cheng Qi looked at Liu Ye with shock in his eyes.
Liu Ye snorted coldly, glanced at Qin Shaojing, and then sneered at Cheng Qi, "Her original target was not me at all, but the eldest son of the Zhao family. She drugged herself first, and then tried to trick him into drinking the aphrodisiac, so that she could have sex with him and marry into the Zhao family! Unfortunately, my sister and Xiao Cui from the Xu family saw us and ruined her plan!"
"And I'm the unlucky one. This slut saw me and blamed me for it!"
After getting the key evidence, Lu Lingjun deduced Qin Shaojing's purpose and means at the time. After she gave the things to Liu Ye, she attached the fact that Qin Shaojing blamed him. Liu Ye immediately found his sister to verify and asked her about what she saw that year.
After hearing from his sister what she had seen and how she had also recognized the box, he really understood.
As expected, I was framed by Qin Shaojing!
He looked at Qin Shaojing with poisonous eyes, wishing he could kill her!
Qin Shaojing, who was exposed, no longer cared about Liu Ye's look at her. She looked at Cheng Qi anxiously and said, "Brother Cheng Qi, listen to me, this is not the case."
"You're making excuses. If you keep making excuses, I'll call Young Master Zhao and my sister over and make them reconstruct what you did back then!"
Qin Shaojing felt powerless after hearing this. This matter was not like what Cheng Hui had done before where she had to find witnesses to testify.
Her reputation has been completely ruined, and those people all have a grudge against her. None of them cares about face and ethics, and they will just beat her up severely.
She was completely finished.
She cried and grabbed Cheng Qi's hand, repeating weakly, "Brother Cheng Qi, you must believe me."
Seeing her like this, Liu Ye mocked her, "Qin, you slut, how can I trust you? Even a cuckold won't believe you!"
After he finished saying this, Cheng Qi, who was being stopped by someone, suddenly exerted his strength, pushed everyone away, and punched Liu Ye.
After Liu Ye was beaten down by him, he looked at Cheng Qi in disbelief, "After all this, you still believe her!"
"Shao Jing is not such a person! She is pure and innocent! The cleanest woman in the world! I don't allow you to slander her!" Cheng Qi grabbed Liu Ye's collar and yelled madly.

Hearing him say this, Liu Ye smiled, tilted his mouth and looked at him with an evil smile.
"Then you may not know that when your pure and innocent Qin climbed into my and my father's bed, she was smiling and screaming very loudly."
