The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 358: Surviving the Old Man

It was precisely because Chu Qinqian knew the seriousness of the situation that she had to do this.

In addition... Shao Wanqi concealed the matter, so the Yue family naturally did not dare to tell anyone.

Chu Qinqian, who was unaware of the situation, had no choice but to take the initiative and turn the passive situation into the active one.

At least she wanted to protect her child in the worst-case scenario.

"It's okay, it's okay. A family like ours can definitely take good care of Brother Qi. He used to be a bit too naughty, but he's matured a lot after this experience. Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for a doctor. Now I'm taking good care of Brother Qi."

Chu Qinqian slowly calmed down and kept sobbing there.

Chu Qinrui felt bad seeing her like this, so he brought up other things to divert her attention.

"It's not a good idea for you to be sad for Brother Qi now. You need to remember who is the culprit."

Chu Qinrui's words had hidden meaning. Chu Qinqian slowly put down her tear-wiping hand and crumpled the handkerchief in her hand.

"Of course I won't forget."

These words seemed to come out of her mouth.

"Sister, now that the princes have grown up, the situation is becoming increasingly tense. Even if we don't take sides, someone will force us to do so."

Before Chu Qinqian could finish her words, Chu Qinrui held her hand soothingly.

"Fifth sister, do you believe in the eldest sister?"

Chu Qinqian nodded without any concealment. These sisters were the most united with their eldest sister, and they would nod without hesitation to whatever her eldest sister said.

In addition to the ties of family and blood, interests also bring them together as a community.

"I have already made plans for the future, but it's difficult to talk to you about it right now. I just want to remind you of one thing."

"Sister, I listen to everything you say."

Chu Qinrui looked at the rain outside which was getting heavier and heavier. It hit the ground with a crackling sound, and a lot of it splashed into the water.

"Your Majesty is in good health and looks like someone who will live a long life. These princes still have a long way to go. We should remain patient and our future will be bright and glorious."

Chu Qinqian seemed to understand, but when she thought of the Fifth Prince, she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"My children have suffered this for nothing, and there's nothing we can do about them. It's truly unjust."

Chu Qinrui sneered, and the sound came faintly.

"Who says suffering is for nothing?"

Chu Qinqian's pupils dilated and she looked up at her elder sister. She knew that her elder sister must have a way.

Chu Qinrui touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You hurt our child and you still want to get away with it? Humph, that's impossible. You take care of the Shao family. The rest of us sisters have our own ways to deal with him."

"Qi Ge'er is a good boy. We never thought he could hide things so well. Don't be too harsh on him. His brother is a capable person. Please help him more in the future."

Chu Qinqian's eyes were filled with deep sorrow. She had never even scolded him loudly, so how could she be harsh to him?

But after the boy suffered last time, he changed a lot and used her as a shield for everything.

However, Chu Qinqian did not explain these.

Chu Qinqian knew the inside story of this matter long after Shao Wanze sent someone to investigate.

Shao Wanqi's guess was correct. If she had known at that time, she would only care about her own children.

No matter how much she loved Yue Qing, she was nothing in front of her child.

She would rather sacrifice the girl to preserve Qi Ge'er's reputation.

She knew how innocent Yue Qing was and she truly loved that child, so she asked for her son to marry her.

Unfortunately, we are not destined to be together.

Kang Ge'er was in a bad mood when he returned home.

He had noticed something was wrong with Shao Wanqi a long time ago. He felt very uncomfortable seeing his former good friend become like this.

He locked himself in the room for a long time and lay on the bed, feeling very bored.

The Fifth Prince, he remembered this person.

He had seen it when he was a child. At that time, he was protecting his younger brother and was splashed with hot tea by that bastard from the Zhao family.

He had seen the man called the Fifth Prince watching coldly from the side.

He didn't think much about it at the time, but now he thinks that this person is so heartless.

My younger brother was almost injured. As an older brother, even if I don’t say it sincerely, I should at least show some concern for the sake of appearance.

Forget it, we are not the same kind of people, so we don’t care.

Kang Ge'er had never thought about these things before, but now when he thinks about them carefully, many things have become very clear.

His thoughts were simple and crude.

The fifth prince definitely cannot become emperor. If he becomes a general, he will be the first to oppose it.

This may sound a bit outrageous, but Kang Ge'er didn't say it out loud. He only thought about it in his heart.

In his opinion, your brother is the most suitable one.

Your brother is the smartest. Doesn’t being an emperor require a smart brain?

But it seems that this cannot be said. Your Majesty has six sons, and each of them can become the next emperor.

He originally thought that if he became a general and your brother became a prince in the future, he would be able to protect your brother.

But now it seems that none of your brothers like you. If anyone becomes emperor, your brother will definitely have a hard time.

Anyone can be emperor, why can't your brother?

Your brother is in poor health, so you can't worry too much about him.

Being an emperor is too tiring, and your brother’s body probably can’t handle it.

"Ah~"

Kang Ge'er sighed deeply.

The Queen did not tell Kang Ge'er and Wei Jie'er directly about her plan.

And one of the people who could guess her intentions was Sister Wei.

It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Kang Ge'er naturally didn't understand all this, so he locked himself in the study and refused to see anyone.

Chu Yuhui returned to Prince Rui's mansion and chatted with Prince Rui for a long time. He only returned to his own yard after Prince Rui fell asleep.

My grandfather is old and his health is worse than before.

A layer of gloom hung over Chu Yuhui's heart.

He didn't know when that day would come, he just hoped that time would pass slower and slower.

Chu Yuhui sat alone at the table, staring at the candle with tears in his eyes.

"Sir, you should rest early."

The servant's voice brought him back to consciousness, "Go away, leave me alone for a while."

The light in the house stayed on for half the night and was turned off only when daybreak came.

Chu Yuhui had to get up early the next morning. He was the great-nephew of His Majesty, and because of the Sixth Prince, His Majesty loved him very much.

Unlike the fact that he gave more consideration to his own grandson, this nephew from the next room posed no threat to the Emperor of Chu, so he was given even more love and favor.

The result was that the emperor's grandchildren also disliked this cousin.

The second prince is getting old, and his father is still alive, so his dream of ascending the throne seems a little further away.

Now he can only keep taking care of his health and try to live longer than his father.

If you can’t compete yourself, compete with your son.

He sent all his sons to the emperor to win his favor, while he hid behind the scenes.

The Emperor of Chu was also very troubled when looking at the many imperial grandchildren in front of him.

The older ones are already twenty-five or twenty-six years old and have sons.

The little one was still a baby who could only be held by the nanny.
