Qi Yuan scolded: "You still dare to quibble? Others have already complained to the city lord, saying that you threatened them not to attend the welcoming banquet, so those women didn't dare to come!"
Madam Qi retorted sharply, "I didn't do that. They are just slandering me. Son, don't believe them!"
Qi Yuan said disappointedly: "Mother, I have just interrogated the doorman, and they said that it was indeed you who sent people to deliver the message to the various mansions!"
After being exposed, Mrs. Qi still remained stubborn.
She simply threw in the towel: "So what if I did it? Who let them bully others by taking advantage of their power? Our Shibao was hurt so badly, and they didn't care. Why?"
Qi Yuan complained bitterly. He didn't expect his mother to be so unreasonable.
Qi Shibao clearly did it himself, why does she always blame others?
Because he was busy with official duties, he neglected to discipline Shibao, but he didn't expect that he had grown completely astray.
He took a deep breath and said, "Now the City Lord has asked me to go home and manage the inner house. Is mother satisfied now?"
Madam Qi asked in disbelief, "How could it be? How could he suspend you for such a small matter? This is too unfair!"
Qi Yuan looked at her disappointedly. "Mother, who are you asking for fairness? Your son is just an internal affairs official. He has the commander and the city lord above him. Where do you get the courage to go against the princess of the dynasty?"
Madam Qi stammered tremblingly, "I didn't mean to go against her. I just didn't want to accept it. I wanted to teach them a lesson!"
Qi Yuan nodded: "Alright, your intimidation towards the princess has paid off on your son. From now on, I will be suspended from my duties and reflect on my actions. This will be a good opportunity to teach Qi Shibao a lesson so that he won't cause trouble for me again!"
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
Old Madam Qi's face was full of resentment. She didn't expect that the city lord would blame her son for the princess's affairs. He was making a big deal out of nothing.
It seems that she has to go to the City Lord's Mansion to apologize quickly.
Even though she was dissatisfied, Madam Qi immediately ordered people to prepare generous gifts.
She knew very well that she had to make concessions for her son's future.
She took a carriage to the city lord's mansion, but was turned away.
She had no choice but to go to Commander Wu's residence to ask Mrs. Wu for help.
The moment the two met, Old Lady Qi felt very sad.
It was clearly she who gave Madam Wu a hard time yesterday, but now she has to ask her for help. What a changing world.
She said hesitantly, "I was rude yesterday. Can you take me to see Her Royal Highness the Princess? I want to explain to her!"
Madam Wu said slowly, "Old Madam, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the trouble you've caused is too great. Now the City Lord and the Princess are still angry. Whoever goes will be in trouble!"
Seeing her dead look, Mrs. Qi was suddenly filled with rage.
But no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to show it.
Because the Mrs. Wu in front of her is highly valued by the princess.
She almost gritted her teeth and reminded him, "Mrs. Wu, you have to think clearly. It is still unknown whether your husband can continue to be the commander. Are you sure you want to make an estrangement with me?"
Madam Wu smiled and replied, "You're worrying too much, old madam. The princess and the marquis' wife were very pleased with the welcoming banquet I hosted today. The marquis' wife, in particular, is willing to treat my husband. Once he recovers, he will remain the commander of Jingcheng. As for your son, how long he will be suspended from duty remains undecided, right?"
Just one sentence made Old Lady Qi feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. No wonder this bitch was trying so hard to please the Marquis's wife and the princess. It turned out that her husband's injury could be cured.
At this point, she can only throw away her dignity.
She quickly wiped her tears and begged, "Can you be so rude as to argue with an old woman like me? I already know I was wrong. I won't embarrass you again. Please help me?"
Mrs. Wu could tell that she was not truly repentant, because the hatred in her eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
But she also understood that good people cannot rely on others to harass them.
If the old woman was forced into a corner and died in front of her, she would not be able to explain herself even if she was right.
She had no choice but to speak: "It's really useless for you to beg me, but I can give you an idea. Ask Qi Daguan to take you to the City Lord's Mansion and ask to retire on the farm in front of the princess. That way, maybe he can be reinstated!"
Madam Qi cursed almost subconsciously: "You are despicable! What on earth are you thinking? You actually want me, an old woman, to live on the farm. Are you going to drive me away so that those officials' wives will take you as their leader?"
Madam Wu guessed that she would act like this, and she immediately ordered, "Come here, kick this crazy woman out, quickly!"
Old Madam Qi was driven out of Commander Wu's residence and was shaking with anger.
When she returned to the Qi Mansion, she complained to Qi Yuan, "That old woman from the Wu family is trying to trick me. She said if I asked the princess to come to the manor, she would reinstate you. She's jealous of my popularity in Jingcheng. How could she be so shameless?"
Qi Yuan's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously asked: "Did she really say that?"
Madam Qi was stunned. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Son, what do you mean? I raised you with so much hardship. You won't despise me when you're old, will you?"
Qi Yuan advised: "I don't dislike you, I just think that what Madam Wu said is a good idea. No matter what, I have to resume my post first. The situation in Jingcheng is complicated now. If I am not careful, I, the internal conscription officer, may be replaced by someone else!"
Madam Qi shook her head like a rattle. "No, I can't go to the manor. How can I suffer there? There must be another way. Let's think about it carefully!"
Qi Yuan complained dissatisfiedly, "What else can we do now? You should know that the city lord owns more than just Jingcheng. He also owns Jiaodong Island and the lucrative Silver Beach on the sea. Many people are trying to get close to him, but you pulled me out! You are my dear mother!"
Old Madam Qi's eyes were red with grievance. She, she didn't expect that things would have such serious consequences!
How can we blame her alone?
After thinking for a long time, she finally compromised.
She said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you and go to the farm myself!"
But before leaving, she cried to Qi Shibao: "It's all their fault for driving grandma away. From now on, grandma can no longer protect you. Good luck to you!"
Qi Shibao's teeth were bared in hatred. He said angrily, "Don't worry, Grandmother. You won't stay at the manor for long. I will ask Dad to take you back. As for those brats from the Marquis's family, I will teach them a lesson!"
Old Madam Qi was very pleased and felt that her love for this grandson was not in vain.
The next day, Qi Yuan brought Madam Qi to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Princess Youyi and Marquis's wife Lin Yiwan.
The two of them didn't keep him waiting for long and soon came over together.
