When Qi Wan heard the news from the servants that Qi Yuehua had suffered a stroke, she was secretly delighted. She felt that this was simply a blessing from God!

She had originally planned to let Qi Yuehua also have a stroke, and then lie in bed with the old lady, so that she could avoid a lot of trouble. Now it seems that everything is as she wished, and she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really what I wish for!" Thinking of this, Qi Wan chuckled.

Qi Wan accompanied Yuan Zhaodi to the upper house to inquire about the situation.

"Aunt, why did my mother suddenly have a stroke?" Yuan Zhaodi asked anxiously.

Pei comforted Yuan Zhaodi, "Don't worry, Zhaodi, your father has gone to see him, and he should be fine."

"Mother said she wants to see us sisters tomorrow." Yuan Zhaodi hesitated, "I'm afraid she won't let me go if I go."

Pei smiled knowingly and said, "You are engaged and cannot go out. We will take you back home tonight."

"Aunt, can I not go?" Yuan Zhaodi hesitated.

It feels a bit unfilial not to visit my mother when she is sick.

Qi Wan said: "Your mother is probably either having a stroke or she is trying to trick you into going."

Qi Wan didn't want Yuan Zhaodi to be fooled, so she persuaded her, "Someone from the Yuan Mansion must have sent a letter to tell your mother that you were engaged, and she tricked you into breaking up the engagement."

"That's possible." Yuan Zhaodi agreed with this statement and made a decision, "Then I won't go."

Pei arranged, "Zhao Di, in order to prevent you from getting married, Qi Mansion will not let you stay for long. Go back to Furong Courtyard to collect your things, and I will send you home after dinner."

"Yes, aunt." Yuan Zhaodi bowed to everyone one by one and went back to pack her luggage, feeling eager to return home.

Yuan Pandi didn't want to go home. She said, "Tomorrow I will go to the other courtyard with my cousin A Jiao to visit my mother and complain to her that you and others are bullying me."

Because Yuan Zhaodi was beaten and scolded in public by her sister, she has lost interest in her sister and the sisterly love is no longer there.

She knew very well that if her sister really wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, her aunt would not agree.

If the aunt wanted to take them there, she would have sent someone to inform the sisters long ago.

Zhaodi thought that rather than losing face by being rejected in public by her aunt, it would be better for her to take the initiative to stop her sister from becoming a tool used by the third wife.

Unexpectedly, Zhaodi took care of Pandi with good intentions.

Instead, Pan Di resented and beat and scolded me, so it was better to let her be.

Zhaodi quietly packed up her things and prepared to go home after dinner.

When Yuan Pandi saw her packing up her things and preparing to leave, he was so angry that he yelled, "You are a fool. You listened to your grandmother and married a poor doctor. When you want to beg for food in the future, don't come to my house. I would rather give the food to the dogs than to you."

Yuan Zhaodi replied, "Don't worry, I won't ask you for help even if I starve to death. Don't come looking for me if you have any problems."

"You deserve to be poor and destitute for the rest of your life." Yuan Pandi pointed at her sister and cursed, "From now on, I will never speak a word to you again. We are no longer sisters, but enemies."

At this moment, Yuan Zhaodi was particularly looking forward to getting married and leaving her mother and Yuan Pandde, two rude and unreasonable people, as soon as possible.

After dinner, the Qi family sent Yuan Zhaodi back to the Yuan family in a carriage.

Qi Mansion Upper House

Qi Lu said to his daughter, "Ah Wan, you should stay at the Prime Minister's Residence for a few days tomorrow, and don't go to the Dongshan Villa."

Qi Wan wanted to go to the Ghost Valley in Dongshan to look for Wu Yi, and tomorrow would be the best opportunity.

She asked, "Father, why don't you let your daughter go to Dongshan Villa to visit the patient?"

Qi Lu waved his hand, and the eldest daughter-in-law Zheng sensibly led the servants to retreat outside and stand still.

Qi Lu told the truth:

He sent people to follow the father and son from the third room.

Qi Fu was called away by the Third Prince and returned home half an hour later. He sent servants to the Dongshan Villa to deliver two messages.

The servant said to Qi Yuehua, "Aunt, the Yuan family has found a royal doctor for our eldest cousin and has set a wedding date..."

"Bastard..." Qi Yuehua was furious. She clenched her fists and pounded the bed frame, making a loud thumping sound.

She suddenly fell down, her mouth tilted to one side, and her body twitched.

After the court doctor went to see him, he exclaimed, "Oh, how come another one has had a stroke."

Qi Fu's servants sent a message and returned with the servants of the lady, saying, "We want the Yuan sisters to visit the patient."

After Qi Lu finished speaking, he said to his daughter, "Going to Dongshan to visit the patient was a trap set up by the third wife and that person."

Pei was shocked. "He is so sinister and cunning? How dare he do such a thing?"

"I'm afraid he heard that there were many people coming to our house to propose marriage, so he was desperate."

Mrs. Pei held her daughter's hand and said nervously, "Ah Wan, don't go to Dongshan. I will take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow."

Qi Wan said, "Dad, Mom, if I don't go, they will know that the truth has been revealed, and they might ask the emperor to grant me a marriage, which would be a big problem."

"It's entirely possible." Qi Lu frowned.

He whispered something else.

"On the day Lan Jian was killed, the Third Prince went to see the Emperor and mentioned that he wanted to get married since he was old enough, but he was interrupted by the Prime Minister and officials from the Ministry of Justice."

Pei was anxious, "Well, what if the marriage is granted?"

Qi Wan said: "We have to take advantage of his own strategy and make him let down his guard."

"No, that would be too dangerous for you." Qi Lu flatly refused.

"Father, don't worry, my daughter is capable of protecting herself." Qi Wan said with a smile, "I am showing mercy by not killing him now."

"What ability?" Qi Lu looked at his daughter in confusion.

Qi Wan stepped forward and whispered in his father's ear: "I have kung fu."

"How could you?" Qi Lu asked in surprise.

Qi Wan wanted to go to Dongshan to look for someone first, so he lied, "When I was a child, my grandfather taught me secretly, saying that he wanted me to learn how to protect myself."

Qi Lu was half-believing and half-doubting.

Pei smiled and said, "Father is really thoughtful." She believed that Old Master Qi could do such a thing.

Qi Lu was still unwilling to let his daughter take risks and just shook his head.

Qi Wan took something and handed it to his father.

Qi Lu took a look, looked surprised, held the thing in his palm, thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."

This is a small copper tube sleeve arrow filled with poisonous arrows that can kill instantly. It can fire ten arrows in a row from a distance of four or five meters.

Qi Lu thought that since his daughter had some kung fu skills and hidden arrows, and he had people secretly protecting her, nothing serious would happen to her.

Pei was worried and didn't want her daughter to take risks. She muttered, "Tomorrow I will quickly pick a man and marry my daughter to him, and then she will be safe."

Butler Qi came hurriedly to report, "Master, Madam, something happened."

"What's wrong?" Qi Lu asked hurriedly.

"Princess Daning's second son Qin Gaoming and the son of the Minister of Rites He Datong were suddenly assassinated on their way home."

Qi Lu and Pei looked at each other in shock.

Qi Lu asked, "Are their injuries serious?"

"There is no danger to their lives. I heard that one person's left foot was broken and the other's right leg was broken." said Butler Qi.

The couple looked at each other and saw horror in their eyes.

Both of these gentlemen had discussed marriage with their daughters, but rejected it on the grounds that their horoscopes were not compatible and did not proceed further.

For some unknown reason, the two families once again proposed to discuss marriage with the Qi family, but this time the Pei family rejected the idea on the grounds that their horoscopes were incompatible.

However, they were suddenly injured, which inevitably made people suspect that it was someone from the Qi Mansion who injured them.

After Butler Qi finished speaking, he bowed and left.

Qi Wancai said: "See how crazy that person is."

Pei sat there in a daze, her whole body felt cold and her body was trembling slightly.

In this case, who will dare to discuss marriage for my daughter in the future?

Qi Lu's face turned pale and he clenched his fists. He wanted to get rid of the third prince immediately.

Qi Wan took the opportunity to say to Pei: "Mother, to prevent more people from being hurt by him, put the marriage discussion on hold."

She now wants revenge and keeps her family safe, and she is not ready to get married.

"Okay, mom got it." Pei was at a loss.

Qi Lu comforted her, "Madam, don't be nervous. He wants to take advantage of the Qi Mansion and won't attack A Wan or us."

Pei whispered, "Husband, please find a solution quickly. There is still a third room."

"I know there will be a way to solve it."

Qi Lu went to the front yard and discussed countermeasures with his eldest son.

Qi Wan comforted Pei, "Mom, it's okay, don't worry."

Pei asked in a low voice: "Do you really know Kung Fu?"

"Mother, I won't lie to you." Qi Wan nodded, and then said in a relaxed voice: "I have a self-protection weapon - a poisonous arrow that kills instantly. No outsider can get close to me."

She thought to herself: I still have room to escape, it's absolutely safe.

Pei was a little relieved and kept reminding her, "Ah Wan, stay alert. If you see something wrong, call the guards and they will follow you quietly to protect you."

"Okay, Mom." Qi Wan agreed obediently.
