After making sure that Xiuying, Xue and Xi Hui went to the side hall, Qi Chen finally look at his uncle. The Patriach was about to speak but Qi Chen beat him to it.
"Uncle I know that you favor first cousin's daughter the most and I fully understand that however if such favor would result to this I need you to turn them to the authorities for them to be punished. If you just want to replace my Ying'er with Qi Fan you could have told us and we would gave way but instead you let Young Master Long and Fan'er to have an affair and hurt my daughter!"
"Chen'er I know you are angry however you didn't inform me that Ying'er have recovered I could have hold on the original arrangement for the alliance but I already talk to everyone and we've concluded that we can't further delay this alliance. And about Guanting being involved to what happened last year we aren't aware of it." The patriach firmly said he can only swallow his anger at the stupidity of his favorite granddaughter. How can they act as if no one can see them hugging in the garden when what they have planned haven't finalized yet! Now he have to deal with his nephew to avoid any losses, he still need to snatch his businesses!
"I see and you let this be a secret for a while now when Ying'er is also your granddaughter and she got hurt because of your secrecy." Chen gritted his teeth trying to hold his anger from exploiding.
"This... Chen you were busy these past months and I spoke with Guanting's parents about this and we can't change it anymore I was about to inform you about this matter today but we were interrupted."
"I see... It seems it was finalized like we aren't part of 'this family', I agree on the changes you want in the marriage alliance but I won't let off Long clan's eldest son for hurting my daughter."
"Chen...please consider if it spreads out your niece's marriage and reputation will be damaged..."
Qi Chen didn't answer causing for Qi Chang and Fang Fei to get more nervous.
"Chen..." Qi Bao was about to get up and approach Qi Chen but the latter suddenly gets up from sitting.
"This nephew will go first to my family, my daugther needs me."
Chen left the main hall without giving proper farewell. As soon as he is out of sight, the patriach throws the cup he was holding to his first son hitting Qi Chang's head, blood slowly flow from his wound.
"What a good daughter you have! Can't she wait for everything to be settled before revealing her relationship with Young Master Long?!" The patriach's face reddens due to anger as he points at his eldest son and his wife.
"Father we don't know that Xiuying recovered!" Qi Chang immediately reasoned out. He can't lose his father's favor to him and his family.
"Do you have to wait for them to tell you brother? Don't you have spies in their courtyards? It only shows how you have been too lax these past months." Qi Bai suddenly spoke, he doesn't have anything against Qi Chen and since the result of his brother's problem will be beneficial to him he didn't say anything earlier to defend the first branch. He is the son of the Patriach with his once favored concubine thus making him always the second best in his father's eyes. Making his brother loss their father's favor is the best outcome he can get today.
"Shut up!" Qi Chang shouted. "You only know how to make things worst for me!"
"Eh, brother-in-law it isn't our fault that your daughter is already counting the chicks when the eggs haven't hatched." Ji Huan said calmly and covers her mouth with a fan painted with red peonies but both Fang Fei and Qi Chang can see the hidden smirk playing on her lips.
"You...you!!!!" Fang Fei can't take situation anymore and started running towards the Second Elder's wife.
"Stop all of you!" Patriach shouted his voice rang in all corners of the main hall that even the servants outside heard it clearly. Fang Fei stopped and faces the Patriach, she was about to speak when his husband grabs her wrists forcefully she can only glare at the second branch and her husband.
"You two know that what your younger brother said is true. You have been too relax!" Angrily said while slamming his fist against the chair's armrest.
"Bai'er what do you think we should do?" He faces his second son and tries to calm down. This action made the Chang's expression ugly while Fang Fei openly glared at Ji Huan.
"We can only have Young Master Long and Fan'er apologize to Xiuying to appease Chen and Xi Hui and resume the original plan for Xiuying be the one to marry in Long clan." Bai calmly state what he have in mind while trying to see what his father is thinking.
"You know that the one Young Master Long love is my Fan'er! Why should they apologize?! Aiyo! If I didn't know you only want to ruin my daughter's future!" Fang Fei rebuke despite her wrist is starting to hurt more in her husband grip.
"What's happening mother?" a lovely yet seductive voice was heard in the main hall's door. Everyone in the main hall saw Qi Fan slowly approach her mother while Young Master Long, Long Guanting supporting her. Her white skin is emphasize by her light pink hanfu and with long eye lashes, phoenix like eyes and heart shape palm size face she gives off an innocent appearance contrasting her voice.
"Xiuying have recovered." Patriach calmly said despite the storm going on his mind but after a while his mind cleared up as he saw Long Guanting as long as the young master declare his love to his beloved granddaughter they don't have to stop their plan. Though he still have doubts due to Xiuying's appearance and recovery he dismisses it as he sees how the newly arrived couple look at each other.
Zhao Xianyao titled Jun Wang by the previous emperor due to his credit in military. Every person in the kingdom fear at the same time admire the young general. He accompanied the Old General Xi as a disciple since ten years old despite being a prince the old general treated him like any soldier he trained which Xianyao admired. The young prince trained and fight along with Qi Ming who later became his best friend. Xianyao is very talented both in fighting and making strategies earning the trust and admiration of his fellow soldiers including the stubborn eccentric old general though he doesn't say it. During the selection for the crown prince, Xianyao supported his brother and step down from the competition. The prince said he doesn't want to be inside a golden cage when old general heard this he recommended the prince to replace him in managing the army of the kingdom while having Qi Ming as his vice general.No one would expect that the man who is always seen to bath with h
After two months of being away from the capital Long Guanting came back in Long Fu and is currently in Qi Fan's courtyard. Qi Fan have been six months pregnant and being taken care of the two wet nurses assigned by Patriach Long.Looking at the woman resting in front of him, he can't help but feel disgusted. Discovering all the schemes done by Qi Fan and her parents to Qi Xiuying behind his back, he is helpless at the retribution he is facing. His supposedly wife whom he now love can be engage to another man that is most probably be Jun Wang, as he heard of the frequent visits of the prince to Ying Yue and in Qi Chen's residence. Now he recalls what his grandfather told him when he went to Ying Yue during the first banquet held for the closest aides if the emperor.The road I chose indeed is one without a way out huh... He can't help but mock himself for being a fool. He loved Qi Fan and is sure of it but discovering that all the instances they have met were all fabric
"Young miss Old Hu came..." Xiao Hua said while looking at Xiuying who busily checking the month's revenue of Ying Yue."Bring him in." Xiuying instructed without removing her attention to the account books."Young miss..." the old man from the slum bowed respectfully."Elder Hu you came is there anything urgent?" Xiuying looks up seeing the man's appearance far from he usually looks like when she visits the slums. He was wearing a decent attire of Ying Yue's employees and with a stern bearing, people who don't know him would assume right away that he have the same position as Manager Ba."One of our people in Fang Fei courtyard found this." He gave the sachet decorated with white lilies. Xiuying sniffed the faint fragrance from it, her expression changed drastically. "Did you know who gave it to Fang Fei?""It was given by Qi Chang's second wife named Lin Hei. I think you noticed that there's a faint smell of opium poppies and salvia which results
Qi Lei accompanied Qi Fan in returning to Long Fu, she still can't believe that her father killed Fang Fei and is now in jail she have lost her support. Although their grandfather is still alive he is in critical condition and there's no guarantee that he will wake up soon. If he does by then Qi Bai have already stabilized his position as the heir since her brother is still too young."Qi Lei... I need your help we can't let uncle take control of Qi Fu... I will lose my support to stabilize my position here in Long Fu!" Qi Fan said while biting her nails as they arrived in her courtyard's receiving area. Qi Lei just stared at his sister before taking steps to leave but he heard another scream from her. "Qi Lei! You ungrateful bastard you shouldn't have been born if father didn't need a heir!"Instead of walking towards Long Fu's gate Qi Lei went to Patriach Long's study and sees the housekeeper guarding it. "May I ask if Patriach Long will have few minutes to spare?"
"Master, Fang Fei was killed by Qi Chang this morning but it was concealed that the first madam died due to illness as for Eleven she is safe and ready for your next task while Qi Bao is currently in critical condition.""Is Qi Bao concious at least?" Xianyao smirked as he listened to the report of One."Yes.""I see, advise Qi Bai to make sure he will be the one to inherit everything in Qi Fu. Have Qi Fu's physician declare that Qi Chang became insane due to what happened. Have the city peacekeeper detain Qi Chang. About Eleven tell her to leave Qi Fu, her role as second wife of Qi Chang's done.""Master, should we tell Mistress about this?" One asked since both of them are causing problem in Qi and Long Fu, his master should at least show off his efforts to the Mistress."She doesn't need to know, she'll be mad at me once she knows I laid my hands on her enemies."I see Master is truly knows Mistress, why am I so dumb about what Mistress w
Xiuying is currently walking near the slum with her maidservants and guards with baskets full of food from Ying Yue. It has been a habit of hers to visit the slum to provide food on weekly basis though she only go personally once a month. While Xue'er and Xiao Hua are handing out the food to the people, Xiuying had Ping, one of father's shadow guards go with her and rest in the same residence of the old couple."Thank you for helping me out these past months." Xiuying elegantly bowed to pay respect and thanks the old couple. "You don't need to thank us at all Young Miss as what we did give us benefits to help the children here finally go to school and physician to check their health." The old man stated, few months ago Xiuying went to them to hire them to sabotage the stores of Qi Chang and Long Guanting. Though they just needed to reveal the dirt in Qi Chang's stores they took time to do it so it wouldn't arouse any suspicion. Despite being an asshole it is not surprising th
