The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

After waking up, Chu Qinqian looked at Shao Wanqi who was kneeling in the ancestral hall with his neck stiff and silent, and felt angry and furious.

His wet nurse knelt on the ground, pulling at the hem of his clothes and begging, "Brother Qi, please tell me what happened. Can you explain it to Madam?"

"There's nothing much to say. I'll accept any beatings or punishments my mother wants."

Chu Qinqian, who was already angry, added fuel to the fire and coldly asked for family discipline.

The wet nurse stopped her and begged the lady to show mercy, saying that there must be some hidden secret.

"Madam, you absolutely cannot do that. Fifty clan sticks, what will happen if you continue to beat me like that? Brother Qi, please admit your mistake and explain."

Lord Shao and a group of brothers who came over begged for mercy, saying that there must be something behind it.

Chu Qinqian knew it very well, but she saw Yue Lei's miserable condition and knew that he was in a bad condition now.

For the future of the Shao family, the eldest master and the other brothers, as well as the reputation of her unmarried daughter, she had to do this today.

"Why didn't you explain at the time? You just gave in, why would it come to this?"

Hearing Luo Zhen's description of Shao Wanqi's miserable condition at that time, Kang Ge'er looked a little reluctant and didn't understand what he was thinking.

Shao Wanqi lowered his head and said nothing. Luo Zhen and Kang Ge'er were extremely anxious. Until now, he still hadn't explained why he didn't tell them about it at the time.

"If he had told that, the third sister of the Yue family would have died suddenly."

Jian Ge'er and Chu Yuhui had just arrived. It rained on the way here and their clothes got wet. They changed clothes in the cubicle when they came, so naturally they heard their conversation.

Seeing Jian Ge'er and Chu Yuhui coming out after changing their clothes, they first bowed to the Prince of Rui.

When Chu Yuhui was ten years old, Prince Rui requested that he be appointed as the Crown Prince. Now when people see him, they have to respectfully address him as "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be so polite in private."

Chu Yuhui has a cold personality, but he has been a tutor in the palace for many years and is very familiar with Jian Ge'er and Kang Ge'er.

When I am with them, I lose my reserved and aloof demeanor and become much more easygoing.

Shao Wanqi is his cousin.

Those words were said by Jian Ge'er. He was in the capital, so he naturally knew the situation at that time.

This incident caused quite a big stir at the time, but it was like a storm, it came in an instant and then went away.

Everyone looked at Shao Wanqi, and Shao Wanqi nodded helplessly. Now Yue Qing from the Yue family had been married off far away from the capital, and everyone present was their own family, so there was no need to be as reserved as before.

"It caused quite a stir at the time, but luckily the princess reacted quickly and invited the imperial physician from both mansions. Wanqi's injuries were more serious. The Yue family made a big fuss about it, but in reality, he only had a few broken ribs and a broken leg. The rest of his injuries looked scary, but they weren't life-threatening."

Shao Wanqi was in a coma for five days and had to lie in bed for half a year to recuperate. Yue Lei was already able to visit brothels, but Shao Wanqi could only turn over with difficulty.

"They probably didn't expect the princess to be so harsh on her own son."

Everyone looked at Kang Ge'er with an expression that said, "You've got the truth." Jian Ge'er sat down and continued:

"Madam Yue was confused in this matter. She wanted to keep it secret, but she didn't want her daughter's reputation to be damaged, so she tried to forcefully claim the first place. Unexpectedly, His Majesty found out and sent the imperial physician to take care of her. If this fool hadn't told the truth at the time, otherwise..."

Brother Jian shook his head and said, "The Yue family will be in dire straits. Third Sister Yue will probably not survive either."

That's exactly what the Yue family thought. After learning about the situation, the servants were quietly dealt with. They also sent people to look for Wang Qian'er. If Shao Wanze hadn't found the woman first, another life would have been lost.

Then, in order to take the initiative, they directly announced to the public that Yue Lei was critically ill, and then quickly thought about how to deal with the matter.

This concerns the fifth prince, which is a big trouble.

The Yue family didn't want to have anything to do with the fifth prince, so after hearing what Yue Lei said, they quickly looked for a husband for Yue Qing.

It just so happened that Chu Qinqian had already noticed the beautiful, intelligent, well-behaved and clever third sister of the Yue family at a palace banquet. The two families hit it off and decided on the marriage.

"If people outside knew about this, not only would Yue Qing's reputation be ruined, but at best she would become a nun. Otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising for any daughter to fall ill."

Shao Wanqi smiled bitterly. If he had told his mother at that time, her mother would have definitely made a big fuss about it for the sake of his reputation and the Shao family's reputation.

When the time comes and the Shao family cancels the engagement, the Shao family will still be the one that receives sympathy, and Shao Wanqi will at most be branded as impulsive and violent.

But the most unlucky person in the Yue family is Yue Qing, the girl who should have been waiting to be married and become a bride.

My life was ruined because of a few words from my younger brother.

"I told you, the final outcome is either she dies on her own, or her family forces her to die."

Shao Wanqi thought of the little girl who handed him the purse with a blushing face. As her mother said, she was very well-behaved, sensible and cute.

Thinking that such a good girl would end up dying, Shao Wanqi couldn't open his mouth.

"No, there is another ending. It's being carried into the Fifth Prince's mansion in a sedan chair."

The fifth prince is determined to get the daughter of the Yue family. After all, Lord Yue is a popular figure in the court and the Emperor of Chu has a high responsibility.

"However, Lord Yue is a smart man."

Chu Yuhui spoke, and Jian Ge'er beside him smiled. The ending he mentioned was of course the most unlikely ending.

If the Yue family had wanted to marry the prince, they would have rushed forward long ago, and there wouldn't have been all these troubles later.

The Yue family dared not have anything to do with these princes. Lord Yue was transferred back to the capital from the local area and has been the Emperor of Chu's man since he took office. Without the Emperor of Chu's signal, the Yue family would just sit back and do nothing.

After hearing this, Kang Ge'er sighed that the capital city was complex and complicated.

"It's been so complicated. I thought I'd be able to relax after returning, but I didn't expect there would be so many things. When I was a kid, I could beat him up whenever I wanted. How could I have thought about all this?"

Luo Zhen was also a straightforward person and nodded in agreement with Kang Ge'er's words.

"The world has changed."

"It's not that the world has changed, it's that we have grown up."

As Brother Jian spoke, his words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Chu Yuhui felt okay and didn't feel any sense of disconnection. After all, he had understood these principles since he was a child.

"Then what happened?"

Kang Ge'er asked, even though it was gossip about his brother.

"What happened later? Later, Lord Yue was the governor of Beiyang for eight years. After this incident, the marriage with the Shao family failed, so he married his third sister off to Beiyang. It is said that he is the son of a county governor."

It's a good marriage.

But it is too far away from the capital, and it is difficult to return home unless it is a matter of life and death.

"In the end, it was the women in the family who suffered."

Shao Wanqi took a sip of wine, and the spicy wine passed through his throat, making him feel a little depressed.

Seeing this, Kang Ge'er filled his glass again and patted his shoulder soothingly.

"Chengkang, I feel so miserable."
