The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

An unexpected event happened in the capital city on the emperor's birthday. Duke Jiang, who had been entrenched in the court for a long time, was investigated and dismissed from his post.

In an instant, Duke Jiang's Mansion became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

However, due to some negligence, Qi Sili almost let Duke Jiang escape from the capital. Fortunately, Qi Siriao secretly monitored and went into battle despite being ill, and was able to intercept Duke Jiang and his family outside the Great Wall.

Concubine Jiang was demoted one after another. Duke Jiang saw that all his escape routes were blocked by Qi Siriao. He was unwilling to admit defeat and hanged himself with a mouthful of resentment.

His death led to the complete collapse of an industry that had been rooted for hundreds of years, the confiscation of his property, and the exile of his wife and children.

If we want to know why Qi Sili was able to eliminate the Duke's Mansion so easily, it had to do with Qi Siriao's ability. He had made a big plan earlier and took everyone into account.

Originally he thought that things would be resolved smoothly, but because he was too successful and threatened his master, he was impeached, causing the plan to be delayed for a long time.

Now that the Duke's Mansion has fallen and all the related civil and military officials have been punished, Qi Siriao can finally put his mind at ease.

Hu Luanfei glared at him angrily. His anger had not subsided but became even more violent. "Is this the reason you came back?"

Qi Siliao smiled faintly and tried to comfort him in a gentle voice with amazing patience, "We have been playing chess for so many years, there should be a winner and a loser."

Seeing her pursed lips and angry eyes, he sighed again, "Fortunately, you are smart."

Pooh!

Did he think that if he praised her a few times she would forgive him for pinching her?

Hu Luanfei snorted coldly: "You have finished your game, but there are some things you haven't explained to me clearly."

"What do you want to know?"

"Who made that rag doll with silver needles stuck in it? And who put the embroidered handkerchief in the secret compartment at the head of our bed? Don't tell me it was you who did it."

This time, he was much more honest and shook his head to deny it. "How could I joke about the lives of the whole mansion? Those two things were probably made by the Jiang family before I owned this mansion. It's a coincidence that you found them. Fortunately, fortunately."

What a ghost!

God knows how I got through those days, and this guy actually still has the nerve to smile.

She calmed down and before she could speak, Qi Si Liao took the lead and said, "Let's pack up and go back to Taohua Village tomorrow."

She opened her pink lips slightly and looked up blankly, "Are you sure we're leaving tomorrow?"

Qi Siliao curled his lips, "When has this king ever lied to you?"

She stood up like lightning, took two steps back excitedly, and finally couldn't contain her joy and hugged him and kissed him fiercely, "Then I'll go back and pack my things."

His dark pupils were deep, and he quickly grabbed her hand and spoke slowly, "Qi Sili invited us to the palace tonight."

That mellow voice made Hu Luanfei's soul fly away. Her eyes were wide open. Being reminded by him like that, she felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine.

"The traitor who should be overthrown has already been overthrown. What else is he planning to do?"

Qi Si Liao raised his eyebrows and calmly replied, "He wants to host a banquet for the king."

"What kind of banquet? A life-losing banquet?"

"Maybe, almost."

"Why bother going there? Hurry up and pack your things. We have to go back at night. I don't want to stay here for a moment."

The vulgar words coming out of her mouth made his face stiffen, "Luan Fei."

"What are you doing?" She heard hot breath beside her ear, which made her tremble uncontrollably.

But he said in a hoarse voice: "Girl, be more polite."

Hu Luanfei looked himself up and down for a long time, and found everything normal. He couldn't help wondering: "My words and actions are within the range, what's the problem?"

He responded seriously: "Keep your mouth shut."

Hu Luanfei gasped and objected, "How is my mouth dirty?"

"You speak dirty and are a little uncivilized."

"You think I'm rude?"

"No, I just want you to be a little more careful about your wording."

"You've asked me to be careful with my words, but you still don't admit that you dislike my rudeness?" She clenched her fists, her face showing annoyance.

"Really not!" Qi Si Liao rubbed his brows and sighed, "I never said you were rude from beginning to end."

"You just said that I'm not polite."

"I just want you to speak like other young ladies in the boudoir, so that you can be more shy..."

"You think I'm shameless again!" Hu Luanfei was suddenly so angry that his whole body was shaking. If he had a knife in his hand, he would have cut his neck.

"That's not what the king meant."

"What do you mean? You think I'm not good enough in this or that way. No wonder you didn't spend the wedding night with me for so long. It turns out you think I'm not as good as a lady in the boudoir in every way."

Qi Siliao suddenly realized for the first time how terrible it was for a woman to be unreasonable.

No matter what he said, she just wouldn't listen. He only said one sentence and she would say a bunch of things back to him.

He was now in a bad mood, his palms were itchy, and he wanted to pinch her mouth to stop her from talking.

Hu Luanfei was angry, folded his hands and said indifferently, "Tell me, which lady should I look like to be considered elegant."

"The Wen family, Wen Ruxue, the daughter of Wen Ruyu."

Hu Luanfei had heard of Wen Ruoxue. The Wen family had a daughter when they were old. The little girl was as pure and white as snow when she was born. Wen Ruyu regarded her as a treasure and the apple of her eye. Unlike Jiang Huizhen, although she came from a famous family, she was not arrogant or impatient. She had a beautiful face and a voice as soft and sweet as a lark.

Unfortunately, God opened a window for her but closed the door. Although she possessed wealth and splendor and excellent appearance and talent that everyone envied, she was plagued by illness and could only live with a jar of medicine in her hand all day long. She took a breath every two steps, which made people feel distressed.

Being so fragile, how can she not be delicate?

It's not like Qi Siliao had ever disliked his own rudeness. He had already shown it when he was in Taohua Village. But he was just a little stupid and forgot many things after they happened.

I don’t know why, but when I heard him express his disgust again today, I felt very uncomfortable.

She was furious and teased him sarcastically, "So you like those weak girls who can't take care of themselves."

"I did not--" He opened his mouth to argue, but was interrupted.

"Okay, if you want to marry her, I can give up my position and even leave. Just say a word and I will disappear from your sight without looking back."

"Luan Fei——"

"Don't call me!" Hu Luanfei shook off his hand and said coldly to the handsome face in front of her: "I'm telling you, this is my personality. It's innate and I can't change it. It's up to you whether you want me or not. If not, just write a divorce letter. I won't compromise for anyone. Do you think I'm rude and uncivilized? Ha, there are many men who like me, and I don't need you!"

She said this with a cold face, flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked out. Wherever she passed, people avoided her, for fear of being attacked by her anger if they blocked her way.

Qi Siriao stood where he was, his fists clenched tightly, his expression even more frightening.
