Du Xuehui couldn't believe it and said anxiously: "Xuan'er, listen to what mother said--"

Qi Zhengxuan interrupted her rudely: "Shut up! Please leave here, this is not the place for you. Someone, send this lady out!"

"Xuan'er!" Du Xuehui staggered two steps, looking at the overly mature and reserved five-year-old boy in shock, and said angrily, "I am your mother, I gave birth to you! How can you treat me like this?"

After a while, two strong maids came over, held Du Xuehui on both sides, and threw her out of the East Palace roughly.

Du Xuehui walked out of the East Palace in a daze, and couldn't understand what Qi Yuanxiu and Qi Zhengxuan did.

Why don’t they want the throne?

In two years, both father and son seemed like different people.

However, Du Xuehui did not give up.

Even if Qi Yuanxiu doesn't become the emperor, the throne should belong to Xuan'er. As long as Xuan'er becomes the emperor, she will be the empress dowager!

It is normal for Xuan'er to have a grudge against her now. After all, she was the one who abandoned him first. But there is no overnight hatred between mother and son. As long as she cares more about Xuan'er in the future, Xuan'er will definitely forgive her, he will.

Du Xuehui took a deep breath, walked towards her own carriage, and said to the coachman: "Go to Bi Hai Xuan, the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

Gu Qinghuai was very surprised to learn that Du Xuehui came to his house.

Under normal circumstances, this woman should have stayed at home and not gone out, not having the face to come and see them, but unexpectedly, she showed up at their doorstep so soon.

Qi Yuanshuo snorted coldly: "This woman is really shameless. How dare she come here?"

"What is Brother and Xuan'er's attitude towards her?" Gu Qinghuai asked.

She was afraid that Qi Zhengxuan still cared about his biological mother, which would affect her attitude towards Du Xuehui.

Qi Yuanshuo smiled and said, "In their hearts, Du Xuehui is just an irrelevant stranger. Today, you don't have to worry about anyone."

Gu Qinghuai's eyes were cold and he nodded slightly: "That's good, let's go and meet her."

The two entered the reception hall and saw Du Xuehui sitting in the guest seat with an extremely gloomy expression on her face.

Wow, this woman is really out of control. She comes to someone else's house as a guest, but acts like a debt collector. Who is she trying to disgust with her sour face?

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo just glanced at her and walked straight to the main seat.

Du Xuehui sneered: "The Seventh Prince is really a noble man who forgets things easily. He didn't even know how to behave when he saw the Emperor's sister-in-law. He is so arrogant. Has he been bullied by some country widows who are not presentable in the past two years-"

"Bang!" Before Du Xuehui could finish her words, Qi Yuanshuo raised his hand and threw a teacup, which landed just an inch away from Du Xuehui's toes.

He pointed at Du Xuehui and shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself my sister-in-law? My wife is a legitimate princess consort, and you, an ugly woman, cannot insult her!"

Du Xuehui's shoulders trembled with fear and she looked at Qi Yuanshuo in disbelief.

This brother-in-law used to respect and protect her very much and was especially good to her. Every time he went out, he would never forget to bring gifts for her, the imperial sister-in-law. But now he actually threw a teacup at her for a country widow!

Yes, Du Xuehui is no longer the Crown Princess, but she is still the biological mother of the little grandson Qi Zhengxuan. As long as they still care about Qi Zhengxuan, they cannot do anything to her.

Du Xuehui sneered and said sarcastically, "Seventh Prince, I am Xuan'er's biological mother. You actually hit me with a teacup. Aren't you afraid that Xuan'er will hate you if he finds out? Or do you want to seize your brother's throne and don't take Xuan'er seriously at all?"

Qi Yuanshuo slightly raised the corner of his lips, his eyes full of contempt: "Du Xuehui, you can go tell Xuan'er now that this prince has beaten you and scolded you. If Xuan'er knew that you came to this prince's place to make trouble for the throne, and insulted his dearest aunt Huaishu, he would beat you himself. Xuan'er is so young, he has gone through hell, he is no longer naive, you are worse than a stranger to him, where do you get the confidence to call yourself Xuan'er's mother? What right do you have to come to this prince's house to make trouble?"

Du Xuehui's face turned pale and she clenched her fingers in indignation.

She recalled the cold look in Qi Zhengxuan's eyes when he looked at her. In her heart, she did not deny that what Qi Yuanshuo said was true, but she said stubbornly: "Humph, no matter what you say, I am Xuan'er's biological mother. I gave him life!"

Gu Qinghuai sneered, "Du Xuehui, you are so shameless, thicker than the walls of the imperial capital. Just because you gave birth to Xuan'er, you want to control and use him anytime and anywhere? Giving birth is desire, raising is responsibility, and supporting is grace. You gave birth to Xuan'er without his consent to vent your desires, but you didn't raise him or support him. You abandoned him without hesitation when he was in the darkest moment of his life. Now, what qualifications do you have to show off with your 'desire to give birth'?!"

Du Xuehui's face became more and more embarrassed. "I still say the same thing. Without me, there would be no him! No matter how much you say, it cannot change the fact that I gave him life. You are attacking me so hard just to seize the throne that belongs to Xuan'er! Don't even think about it! I won't let you succeed. I'm going to meet the emperor and expose your evil ambitions!"

"If you have a way to see the emperor, go ahead! This prince is not afraid," Qi Yuanshuo sneered, turned around and shouted outside the hall, "Come here, beat this bitch who came to insult the prince and the princess with twenty sticks, and then send her to the imperial capital government office!"

As soon as Qi Yuanshuo finished speaking, several tall guards came in, one of them grabbed one of Du Xuehui's arms and dragged her out the door. "Qi Yuanshuo! How dare you hit me? I'm the mother of the little emperor's grandson! Xuan'er will never forgive you if he finds out! You have evil intentions!" Du Xuehui screamed.

Qi Yuanshuo took Gu Qinghuai's hand and said softly with a guilty look on his face: "Sister Xiaohuai, this ugly woman has affected your mood. You don't have to see this kind of people in the future. Just beat them up."

"It's okay, just think of it as teasing the beasts, it's quite fun," Gu Qinghuai chuckled.

Du Xuehui was beaten with twenty boards and wailed in pain. After being sent to the government office, she was beaten with another twenty boards and then locked up for twenty days. The prefect ordered her not to set foot in the Seventh Prince's mansion again and not to insult the Seventh Prince and the Prince's Consort, otherwise she would be severely punished.

After the Du family found out about this, they were all extremely depressed. They originally wanted to use Du Xuehui to get back in touch with the Crown Prince, but they didn't expect to backfire.

Qi Yuanxiu's brothers, including Qi Zhengxuan, all hated Du Xuehui.

Gu Qinghuai's pregnancy days were not peaceful. Not long after Du Xuehui came out of prison, the emperor sent five beauties to Qi Yuanshuo, saying that Princess Qinghe was pregnant and could not serve the Seventh Prince, so he specially rewarded the five beauties to help Princess Qinghe share her worries.
