"Remarry?"

Qi Shiyong's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to say that they hadn't divorced, so how could Jiang remarry?

But then I thought about it again, and it was indeed he who abandoned them first. It was only natural for them to give up on him and remarry. Otherwise, how could they have survived in this world?

Wang Ximei, standing to the side, was secretly delighted. It was good that she had remarried; that way, Jiang would not come back to compete with her for the position of General's wife.

"Hmm?" Qi Ning raised an eyebrow at Qi Shiyong.

Qi Shiyong swallowed back the words he was about to say, and said with a dark face, "Remarry if you want."

“That’s settled then. My mother remarried to a reclusive master, and now they’ve gone traveling around, so naturally they didn’t come to the capital with me. Since my mother isn’t dead, what revenge can I take against you?”

"Then why didn't you go with your mother and instead came to the capital?" Qi Jie couldn't help but ask.

Qi Ning glanced over, and Qi Jie immediately lowered his head sheepishly.

Qi Ning snorted before continuing, "I already told you, my stepfather is a hermit master. He taught me some skills, including divination."

"The art of divination?" Qi Shiyong looked at Qi Ning in surprise.

"That's right, I foresaw this calamity for you, so I came here specifically to save your life. Now you understand, right? You suddenly fell seriously ill last night, not because I poisoned you. I had already foreseen that you would become seriously ill and prepared the antidote in advance to bring it over."

"Actually, I arrived yesterday, but your servants stopped me from entering. Otherwise, if you had taken your medicine earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

"I see."

Qi Shiyong nodded.

He looked at Wang Ximei: "Was it you who wouldn't let Ning'er in?"

"My lord, I believe..."

"Okay, stop talking."

Qi Shiyong knew exactly what Wang Ximei was thinking.

He thought to himself, "That makes sense. How could Qi Ning possibly poison me, especially with a poison that even the imperial physicians couldn't detect?"

However, he was still somewhat skeptical, especially about the so-called divination technique.

"Is divination really that powerful?"

"You don't believe me? I've also figured out other things. Do you want to hear them?"

"what?"

At this time, only their own family members were in the house; there were no outsiders.

But Qi Ning still lowered his voice mysteriously: "I have foreseen that soon you will be purged by His Majesty, and the Qi family will be raided and imprisoned."

"What nonsense!"

Qi Shiyong was so frightened that he stood up and walked up to Qi Ning with his hands behind his back: "Don't say such things carelessly."

Qi Ning fiddled with his handkerchief: "Still don't believe me? Then let me say a few more. In three days, the Minister of Revenue will be purged by His Majesty. Half a month later, His Majesty will issue an order to stay at the temporary palace. After you return from the temporary palace, you will be the one purged."

Qi Shiyong was startled.

In fact, all of this information was internal information that the system obtained from Helian Yao, and was provided to Qi Ning on the premise of its provision.

The events concerning the Minister of Revenue and the trip to the imperial palace are true, but Helian Yao's purge of the Qi family is a fabrication, merely a ploy by Qi Ning to deceive the Qi family.

"If you don't believe me, you can see if the first two things happen, and then we can talk again."

As she spoke, Qi Ning stood up and said matter-of-factly, "I'm going to stay in the manor. You should have someone clean up my courtyard right away."

Qi Ning thus settled down in the general's mansion.

In order to show Qi Shiyong the loving nature of the mistress of the house, Wang Ximei specially sent Qi Ning a lot of things, which Qi Ning accepted without hesitation.

That night, the four of them gathered together.

Qi Hao frowned: "Dad, you don't actually believe Qi Ning's words, do you?"

“Exactly.” Qi Jie curled his lip. “In my opinion, Qi Ning came back just to make our family miserable.”

Although Wang Ximei didn't say anything, her two sons spoke for her.

"enough!"

Qi Shiyong slammed his hand on the table.

"Whether it's true or false, we'll just have to wait and see if the Minister of Revenue gets into trouble in three days."

Three days later.

As expected, the Minister of Revenue was purged by the emperor, and they were already seven or eight parts convinced of it.

Half a month later, just as the matter of the Minister of Revenue had subsided, the emperor suddenly issued an edict to stay at the imperial palace for two months.

Now Qi Shiyong and his men completely believed Qi Ning's words and quickly sent someone to invite Qi Ning over.

Qi Ning has been enjoying a life of luxury and comfort in the mansion these past few days, and she's in a pretty good mood.

She arrived at the main hall, where the Qi family was already waiting for her. Without offering any greetings, she sat down without any ceremony, and the Qi family dared not have any objections to her.

"So, do you believe me now?"

"I believe you, I believe you." Qi Shiyong nodded repeatedly. "Ning'er, you must find a way to save your father."

Wang Ximei and her two children also looked at Qi Ning expectantly. Although they didn't like Qi Ning, they didn't want to die either.

"I've already thought of a solution for you."

"any solution."

Qi Ning softly uttered two words: "Rebellion".

"Varied……"

Qi Shiyong was almost scared out of his wits.

"Ning'er, you can't say such things carelessly."

Wang Ximei and her two children were so frightened that they dared not speak.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending." Qi Ning waved his hand at Qi Shiyong. "You also have troops under your command. Do you think you've never had this thought before? I don't believe it."

"The reason the emperor wants to take action against you is because he is wary of the troops under your command. In that case, instead of waiting to be killed, you should take the initiative to strike."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shiyong fell silent.

That's right, who among those who have troops under their command hasn't thought of this?

"But……"

"No buts, have you forgotten? Your daughter has divination skills. Helping you seize the throne would be a piece of cake."

Qi Shiyong paced back and forth in the room several times with his hands behind his back. He stopped and looked at Qi Ning: "Ning'er, you suddenly came to the capital. It shouldn't be specifically to save me, but for this matter, right?"

"You guessed right." Qi Ning smiled.

She bluntly replied, "Who would make a special trip for your life? Of course I have other purposes."

"What purpose?"

"I want to be a princess," Qi Ning said directly.

As soon as she said that, the four of them fell silent again.

Qi Ning looked at Qi Shiyong: "What, you'd rather die than be emperor?"

She then looked at Wang Ximei and her two children: "You would rather die than be empress and prince?"

Of course they want to. Nonsense.

I never dared to think about it before, but now that I'm facing death, am I just going to wait to die if I don't give it my all?

If they succeed, they'll be living the high life.

Human greed is limitless, and under the influence of Qi Ning's words, the decision to rebel was made.
