Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 91: Do you still dislike Miss Zhilan?
The news that was spreading throughout the capital did not escape the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The once prestigious Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, after the death of Marquis Qi, the Crown Prince Qi Xun has not yet fully recovered from his injuries, and none of the other side branches have any special prospects. The huge mansion now shows a decadent trend.
In the main courtyard where Madam Qi lived.
"Xun'er, tell me, what's going on?"
Madam Qi is now dressed in plain clothes and looks haggard. Ever since Marquis Qi was beheaded in the street, she seems to have aged ten years.
She hadn't gotten over the pain of losing her husband yet, and now she heard that her son had gotten into this misfortune again. She was so angry and anxious that she almost had a heart attack:
"Didn't you follow your aunt's instructions today to win back that Shen family? How did you get involved with Minister Gu's concubine's daughter? What's going on, Xun'er? Is someone trying to harm you? Is it that concubine who wants to curry favor with the rich and powerful, deliberately framing you and putting the blame on you..."
Madam Qi looked somewhat bewildered and angry as she spoke. Ever since she watched Marquis Qi become the scapegoat, she had been feeling inexplicably anxious and always felt that someone was trying to harm her and her widowed mother. She repeatedly regarded Qi Xun as more important than her own eyes.
"Mom, I don't know what happened. The moment I opened my eyes, I was sleeping with her!" Qi Xun looked annoyed. He seemed to have lost his memory. He couldn't remember what happened at that time and why he did such a ridiculous thing.
But he still subconsciously defended Gu Zhilan: "Mom, she didn't hurt me, she wouldn't hurt me!"
Madam Qi had a psychological trauma towards those women who had relationships with her son. Upon hearing this, she said with a sad face:
"Xun'er, you are too naive. You can only judge a person by his appearance and not his heart! In the past, you said that bitch Gu Zhilan, whom you loved, would not harm our Qi family, but in the end, didn't she still harm your father? Don't blindly trust women!"
After hearing his mother say this, Qi Xun didn't dare to elaborate on Gu Zhilan's identity. He just nodded and said, "I know, mother!"
"There's a lot of noise outside, and we don't have anyone to make a decision in our house. Why don't you go to the palace and find your aunt?" Madam Qi pulled Qi Xun to help him find a solution: "Your aunt is the imperial concubine, and the emperor dotes on her the most. Go and ask your aunt to find a way to settle this matter for you!"
Qi Xun didn't seem to be agitated or depressed at all. So, how come there is no one to make the decision?
As the prince of a marquisate, can't you make up your mind?
He patiently comforted her: "Mom, don't worry about it, I have my own..."
As they were talking, the voice of Yang Ma, the housekeeper of the inner house, came from outside: "Madam, Prince, Minister Gu is outside asking for an audience. I'm afraid he is here to call for punishment."
Madam Qi panicked immediately, but pretended to be fearless: "Ask for a crime? What crime? Our Xun'er is innocent in this matter. Xun'er was implicated by his concubine's daughter. If you want to blame someone, blame him for not teaching his daughter well!"
Qi Xun just felt overwhelmed. After his father left, his mother became more and more weird and refused to listen to any reason. Although he felt sorry for his mother, he also felt that she was really difficult to deal with.
He forced himself to speak:
"Mother, don't worry about this matter. There is no need to go to the palace to look for my aunt. I will go and deal with it with Minister Gu. There are so many eyes watching what happened. There is no need for the Gu family to make enemies with our Qi family. Naturally, they are not here to ask for punishment... Mother, now that father is gone, I will definitely support the Qi family. Mother, don't worry about it."
"Xun'er, you...Okay, okay, then go ahead, go ahead."
At this moment, Mrs. Qi seemed to see the former Marquis Qi in her son. She seemed to have found her backbone and her heart was at peace. Yes, her son was already twenty-four years old and was supposed to enter the court, so handling such a small matter was naturally a piece of cake for him.
From now on, as a mother, she just has to wait for her son to settle down her second half of life and let her live a glorious life as before.
"Mom, I'm going."
"Go, go!"
Qi Xun waved his hand, and the servant pushed his wheelchair out of the main courtyard and met Minister Gu in the front hall.
Minister Gu was sweating profusely, and his face was so worried that he didn't even have time to drink tea. He immediately got straight to the point:
"My dear nephew, His Royal Highness Prince Duan originally only sent Miss Zhilan to the Gu Mansion. I also know that it was arranged for my dear nephew... But today's incident has caused such a big fuss, we must find a way to end it. I wonder what my dear nephew plans to do?"
"What does Uncle Gu mean?"
Qi Xun just said that because he didn't want to listen to his mother's nagging anymore, but he had no idea how to actually solve the problem.
Minister Gu was really worried about how badly his biological daughter, Gu Qiong, was injured, but he hadn't even had the time to go and take a look at her.
When he heard Qi Xun's question, he spoke out his thoughts:
"Now that things have come to this, the best way is for our Qi family and Gu family to tell the outside world that my nephew has already made an engagement with my daughter, and they will get married on a chosen date!
In this case, since they were an engaged couple, their momentary passion was simply a romantic affair!
The capital city is not short of exciting things. After some time, this matter will naturally be over."
"this......"
Qi Xun was a little hesitant.
His aunt meant that he should coax Shen Xiyue and win over the Shen family's military power for his cousin Prince Yao... But after what happened at the Snow Viewing Banquet, Shen Xiyue even had someone throw her out. It was obvious that she was very angry.
If I want to coax her back this time, it will probably take some effort.
If I were to spread the news that I had already been engaged with Zhilan at this time, Shen Xiyue would definitely not forgive me!
But if I don't marry Zhilan, how will I and Zhilan get along in the future?
"Oh, nephew, why are you still hesitating?" Minister Gu thought that this was a done deal, but when he saw Qi Xun actually began to hesitate, he immediately became impatient and spoke with some sincerity:
"My dear nephew, you and Miss Zhilan have always been in love with each other. Originally, she came from a brothel and her social status was relatively low, but now she has finally entered my Gu family and become a daughter of the Gu family. After all, she has gained a golden status!
As for you, my dear nephew, the Marquis has been gone for such a long time, and you still haven't inherited the title. You are still just a prince after all. Miss Zhilan is not a good match for you in the eyes of outsiders, right?"
Qi Xun was stabbed in the heart by Minister Gu, and his face immediately turned pale: "Uncle Gu, be careful with your words!"
"Okay, okay!" Minister Gu was also anxious for the moment. In fact, he had already realized that it was inappropriate as soon as he said it. After all, Qi Xun was the nephew of Concubine Qi's maiden family. It was only a matter of time for him to rise to power in the future. How could he poke at his sore spot like this?
He then patiently asked, "My dear nephew, do you want Miss Zhilan to fake her death again? But many people have seen Miss Zhilan's appearance today. If she wants to come back to life in the future, it will be difficult for her to find a noble identity."
"I didn't mean that!" Qi Xun frowned. This Minister Gu was really good at putting the blame on him. If Zhilan knew that he was unwilling to take responsibility for her, she would hate him to death!
"Oh my!" Minister Gu couldn't help but get anxious again: "Then my dear nephew, please give us a solution! People outside are just watching us laugh at you!"
"Uncle Gu, go back and tell Zhilan..." Qi Xun seemed a little hesitant, but he also seemed to have finally figured out a solution: "Just tell her that we were both drunk at the snow viewing banquet, and I am willing to take her as my concubine."
He had to reserve the position of the principal wife for Shen Xiyue... After all, she was a princess personally appointed by the emperor and was worthy of the position of the principal wife.
"Be a concubine?" Minister Gu was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Being a concubine is fine... Being a concubine is fine..."
I thought that Prince Qi had come up with a better idea after hesitating for so long, but I didn't expect that he still despised Miss Zhilan!
However, as long as the Qi family is willing to take her away, whether she is a concubine or a maid, it has nothing to do with his Gu family!
