After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

Qu sighed sadly.

"Don't mention you. He wouldn't even see his mother..."

She thought he would be better during the two months I was away from home, but it was wishful thinking for anyone to think so.

Wen Qianqian, who was held in Qu's arms, widened her eyes in confusion.

[Mother, are you talking about my elder brother? What happened to my elder brother? Why doesn't he want to see you? ]

She had only seen the future of her elder brother Wen Chengting, not the past.

The eldest brother's future was the same as hers and the third brother's at the beginning, full of black death, and the final outcome was being buried in a sea of ​​fire.

As for why he refused to even see his mother, she hadn't had time to look into it yet.

As for spiritual energy, it is best to save it. If her mother can tell her in person, she won’t need to waste it.

When Qu heard Wen Qianqian’s question, she waved her hand to send Yinxing away.

She did this not because she did not trust the maids who came with her as a dowry, but because she had to keep the secret, otherwise it was unknown what kind of danger her Qianqian would face.

The fewer people who know about it, the less danger there is.

Qu didn't speak until Yinxing left.

"The one mother just talked about is indeed your eldest brother."

"He is a genius, extremely talented, and the youngest person in the history of our Ming Dynasty to enter the palace examination."

"But he was timid and got frightened during the palace examination. He couldn't even answer when His Highness asked him his name... In the end, he lost the title of No. 1 that was supposed to be his."

"It even displeased His Majesty, who ordered him to leave the palace and not to participate in the palace examination three years ago."

Wen Qianqian was a little confused.

[Is Big Brother usually timid? 】

Mrs. Qu shook her head. "He is not good at socializing, but he is not so bad that he can't even answer my name. Your eldest brother refused to tell us what happened. After returning from the palace, he locked himself in his courtyard. He has not stepped out of the courtyard for three years."

There was deep worry in Qu's eyes.

How much she wanted to go see Wen Chengting.

It was her first child, so it meant a lot to her.

But every time she went there, Ting'er would break down even more, and even cut his wrists, so she didn't dare to go.

Wen Qianqian quickly said in her heart: [Mother, why don’t you let me go and take a look! Maybe I can find a way? ]

Qu shook her head.

"Your big brother likes quietness, so let's not disturb him."

Thinking about the last time she cut her wrists, she still breaks into a sweat and feels scared. She dares not take such a risk again.

[Mother, can you please let me go meet my elder brother? Maybe he would be willing to see me? ]

Qu hesitated for a moment, called Yinxing in, and asked Xiao Dezi to ask Wen Chengting what he meant.

Xiao Dezi agreed promptly and came in shaking his head after a moment.

"Madam, the young master said he doesn't want to see anyone, but..."

Xiao Dezi paused and took out the jade bracelet that he had been holding in his arms.

Wen Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up.

[What a beautiful bracelet! Mother, is this a gift from my elder brother? ]

In front of Xiao Dezi and the others, Qu did not reply to Wen Qianqian's words, but said to Xiao Dezi: "Isn't this the love token between Miss Liao and Brother Ting? How did you get it?"

Xiao Dezi lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.

"The eldest young master asked me to get this. He asked you to... return it to the Liao family."

Qu stood up suddenly.

"Does he not want me as his mother, nor the marriage he chose? He and the girl from the Liao family have been friends since they were young. When they made the engagement, the whole capital knew about it. Now he wants to cancel the engagement? How can he save the face of Hui Niang and the Liao family? Does he want Hui Niang to be laughed at by everyone in the capital?"

Xiao Dezi had never seen Qu speak so harshly before, and his lips trembled with fear.

But...he had to do the eldest young master's job.

Xiao Dezi plucked up his courage, swallowed his saliva and said, "Madam, the eldest master does not want Miss Liao to be laughed at by the whole capital, he just doesn't want to drag her down. The eldest master... is also very uncomfortable."

Qu calmed herself down and finally turned her back.

"I can't do such a thing! Take the bracelet back. If he wants to break off the engagement, he should go and tell Hui Niang himself."

"Madam, this..."

"Go out! Tell him exactly what I said!"

"Yes……"

Xiao Dezi bowed and walked out.

Mrs. Qu was overwhelmed. Wen Zehai's affairs and her sons' matters almost overwhelmed her, and she felt a little shaky.

Yinxing was quick to support Qu.

"Madam, you look so bad, do you really not need to see a doctor?"

"No, I'll just take a rest."

Yinxing was helpless. Even her sister Ginkgo couldn't explain to the lady how to see a doctor, let alone her, who was the youngest among the dowry maids.

She had no choice but to help Qu lie down and rest.

With Yinxing's support, he lay down beside Wen Qianqian.

Wen Qianqian's eyes were rolling rapidly in circles.

She is looking at her older brother's past.

The palace examination three years ago happened to be held in a year with heavy snow.

The heavy snow didn't stop until April.

Wen Chengting and other Jinshi candidates who were taking part in the palace examination endured the severe cold and waited outside the hall with respectful expressions.

Suddenly, Wen Chengting heard the sound of boots stepping on the snow behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head, but before his face turned around, the person behind him took a ball of snow and quickly stuffed it into the back of his neck.

The sudden feeling of ice frightened him so much that his handsome face turned pale in an instant and he stood there like a fool.

Wen Qianqian suddenly closed her eyes.

[Mother! It’s the prince! ]

Qu looked at Wen Qianqian in confusion.

"What happened to the prince?"

Wen Qianqian clenched her fists and said angrily: [My elder brother lost his mind last year when the prince threw a ball of snow at him on the day of the palace examination.]

Qu's face turned pale immediately.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Why did the prince do this?"

[The prince seemed to be calm and composed, but he was actually extremely jealous. Before the palace examination, the emperor also gave the prince a test paper and asked him to answer it. As a result, the emperor said that the prince's essay was not as good as his elder brother's, so the prince held a grudge. ]

[However, it was an accident that the elder brother was frightened and lost his mind. His original intention was just to wet the elder brother's clothes and make him lose his manners in front of the palace.]

[The prince was very happy to know that his elder brother had become like this! ]

Qu's face looked extremely ugly.

She thought that all this was her son's fault, but she didn't expect that it was caused by someone else.

He is the prince that their Qu family has always supported.

Although the crown prince was the eldest prince, he was of humble origin and his biological mother was just a maid in the palace.

It happened after she was unexpectedly favored by the emperor.

If it weren't for the support of their Qu family, the eldest prince would never be able to sit on the throne of the crown prince.

Prince...really repaying kindness with enmity!

No, she must tell her father about this immediately.

Otherwise, if such a petty-minded person becomes the emperor in the future, the future of the entire Ming Dynasty will be in jeopardy.

Qu did as she said. She immediately washed up and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
