Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 129 Go and ask my brother to fight back
"Are you crazy? What could I be hiding from you?" Mo Qilan asked angrily, glaring at Qi.

"You still dare to say no? Let me ask you, how have you done about what the late emperor said on the day of his death?" Qi didn't care whether he was angry or not. Her own son's future was about to be ruined, and she was still angry!
"What happened on the day of the late emperor's death?" As one of the three highest officials, Mo Qilan had to keep vigil during the period of the late emperor's funeral. His physical condition was average to begin with, and he was exhausted these days. He hadn't had a rest for a long time. When he was finally able to sleep, his wife kept pestering him. He was very annoyed and couldn't remember what she was talking about.

"The matter of appointing Zichen as the crown prince." Qi said it directly without caring about anything.

"Oh, you're talking about this!" Mo Qilan glanced at Qi with a guilty look on his face. Seeing that she was so angry that she was about to smoke, he knew that she must have heard something, so he simply said to her, "Don't you already know the result? Why are you still asking me?"

Qi's eyes widened. Seeing that Mo Qilan was about to lie down in the quilt again, she simply grabbed his arm and said, "Why can't I ask you? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Mo Qilan, desperate to sleep but repeatedly prevented from doing so, finally lost his temper. He shook off Qi's hand and said, "I did agree to your request, but what good is my promise? This requires the Emperor's approval. The late Emperor reprimanded me in front of Your Majesty. If you insist on replacing the Crown Prince, then the Mo family's title will be lost. He's the Emperor, what can I do?"

"What? Impossible! How could the late emperor do this? On what basis?" Qi was stunned at first, then she looked carefully at Mo Qilan's expression and realized that he was not deliberately perfunctory. She suddenly collapsed and cried loudly.

"You crazy woman, are you going to kill my whole family?" Mo Qi Lan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly covered Qi's mouth. Seeing that her crazy and scattered eyes finally became clear, he let go of his hand, got off the bed, ran to the door, opened it and looked outside for a long time. When he didn't see anyone, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the bed and sat down.

"Wuwuwu..." Qi suddenly threw herself on the bed and burst into tears, leaving Mo Qilan, who wanted to teach her a lesson and stop talking nonsense, speechless.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, there's no point in crying. Be nicer to Ziyuan in the future! He is a kind child and will not do to you..." Mo Qilan sighed and tried to comfort Qi in a gentle voice. However, before he could finish his words, Qi immediately sat up again, raised his fists and started hitting him randomly.

"Why? Why? Why must the position of the crown prince belong to him? My son is no worse than him. Just because he is not the original wife's son, he doesn't even have a chance to compete? I don't accept it. I just don't accept it. And you, it's all because of your uselessness that my son has lost everything..." Qi cried and scolded him while beating him.

"That's enough!" Although Mo Qilan wasn't a military commander, he was much stronger than Qi. He quickly restrained her hands, grabbed them, and threw them onto the bed. "Are you done with your madness? I'm useless? If I were useless, why did you crawl under my quilt in the first place? And you still have the nerve to mention your son? Don't you know what your son is like? How can he compare to Ziyuan?"

"Ah~ Mo Qilan, I'm going to fight you!" The son that she had always been proud of was despised by her husband as not as good as the children born to his ex-wife. The string of rationality in Qi's mind finally broke. She screamed and hit and scratched Mo Qilan's body and face.

"I think you are really crazy!" There was a sharp pain on his face. Mo Qilan raised his hand and touched it, and found blood on it. He got furious and stepped forward to slap Qi's face twice, both front and back. She saw stars in front of her eyes and her head was buzzing. For a moment, she seemed to be unable to hear anything.

Mo Qilan was so angry that he didn't even look at her. He took a coat from the screen, put it on, opened the door and walked out, spending the night in the study.

The next morning, Qi's brother woke up and found that Mo Qilan was at home and had not attended the morning court. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't my brother-in-law go to the morning court today?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he mentioned Mo Qilan, his face started to hurt again. He snorted in anger and went back to the study, slamming the door shut. Qi's brother had hit a snag and was unhappy, but when he first met Mo Qilan, he had clearly seen the blood on his face. He figured that he must have fought with his sister last night. If he had blood on his face, he didn't know what had happened to his sister!
Thinking of this, Qi's brother hurried back to his residence and saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing table putting on makeup. He ran over, grabbed her and ran out.

"Master, what are you doing?" Qi's sister-in-law was drawing her eyebrows. She had just finished one side, but before she could draw the other side, she was dragged out by her husband. She quickly grabbed him and asked.

"Something happened. You should go and see your sister. She probably had a quarrel with her brother-in-law last night and they probably even got physical. You should go and see if she is okay." Qi's brother said anxiously.

Her sister-in-law was also panicked when she heard this. Their whole family was relying on this sister-in-law who married the Duke for their livelihood. The two of them quarreled to the point of fighting. How could this be tolerated!

She didn't even bother to put on makeup and ran to the backyard with her husband.

When they arrived at his sister-in-law's room, Qi's brother could not go in to avoid suspicion, and could only stand in the yard and worry.

The servants in the mansion received a warning from Qi's dowry nanny early in the morning. They dared not say a word about what happened last night and just did their own work honestly.

As soon as Qi's sister-in-law entered the room, she saw Qi sitting on the head of the bed with disheveled hair, her cheeks red and swollen, and there were still traces of tears on her face. The dowry nanny was trying to persuade her, but Qi seemed not to hear anything. Her eyes were dull and she only shed tears without any response.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qi's sister-in-law walked over, tentatively grabbed Qi's hand and asked softly.

Perhaps she sensed the warmth of her hand, but Qi suddenly turned her gaze to look at her sister-in-law. After looking for a long while, without any warning, her tears began to fall like crazy. She choked and called out, "Sister-in-law!" and threw herself into her arms, bursting into tears.

The old nanny next to her breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and gestured to Qi's sister-in-law, indicating that she should comfort Qi first and deal with other things after she finished crying.

Qi's sister-in-law understood and took Qi into her arms, putting one arm around her shoulders and the other gently stroking her back.

After a long while, Qi finally stopped crying and sobbed in her sister-in-law's arms, her eyes swollen like two peaches.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Qi's sister-in-law couldn't help but ask softly.

This question brought back Qi's sad memories and also brought out her anger. She sobbed and said, "Sister-in-law, Mo Qilan is not a human being. Look how he beat me. Go and ask my brother to beat me back!"
