Quick Wear: Whose cannon fodder is the most popular?

Chi Yan stayed indoors and was confined to his room.

The main courtyard was in chaos, and even the eldest young master, who seldom returned home, rushed back from outside.

Several doctors were invited, and they all gave the same answer, saying that Mrs. Chi had taken too many tonics, which caused her to get irritated, and that she needed some medicine to clear away heat and reduce internal heat.

Master Chi waved his hand and asked his servants to give some reward money and send the doctor away.

Chi Sheng looked at his father with a frown on his face. "Father, I heard from the servants that my mother was sick because of Chi Yan. It was he who spoke wildly and ridiculed my mother, which caused her blood to surge up and she vomited blood on the spot."

He was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush directly to the side yard to seek justice for his mother.

But I have to tell my father about this first, so that it will be legitimate.

I thought that after hearing this, my father would immediately use the family rules to severely punish that illegitimate son who did not know his place in society.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, his father was just stunned for a moment and then sighed.

"That's all. This matter ends here. No one is allowed to spread it. Do you hear me?"

It's not that Minister Chi didn't want to punish Chi Yan, but there are still fifteen days before His Majesty grants the marriage. Chi Shuangshuang, the unfilial daughter, ran away from the marriage first, and Chi Yan disobeyed his stepmother later.

If things get out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve.

Minister Chi didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he could only choose to keep the peace.

As for Chi Yan, he had to go and warn him in person.

Chi Sheng was obviously not satisfied with this result. He didn't understand how a bastard born to a maid could dare to offend the mistress of this family.

Who gave him the courage?

Moreover, my father's attitude was very strange. The bastard had committed such a big mistake, but he actually planned to write it off.

"Father, there is no order without rules. This bastard has the audacity to speak out against the mistress. It is really audacious. It is unjustifiable not to punish him!"

Chi Sheng relied on the fact that he was the legitimate son and talked about the distinction between the superior and the inferior from time to time.

I’m afraid that others won’t know.

Minister Chi was from the Ministry of Rites, so he naturally recognized the distinction between the superior and the inferior, and the order between the upper and the lower.

Under normal circumstances, Minister Chi would naturally not condone this matter, but now is a sensitive period, and Chi Yan is indignant, so let him vent.

At least get the marriage done honestly.

Minister Chi's face darkened, and his attitude was extremely tough: "I told you not to make this public, so why are you also going to disobey me?"

After these words were spoken, Chi Sheng dared not say any more.

He could only suppress his anger and said, "Father, please calm down. I dare not do that."

"Hmph, that's good..."

Minister Chi shook his sleeves and went in to see how his wife was doing.

Chi Sheng stood there alone, holding his breath no matter how he thought about it.

Finally, he couldn't help it and went to the backyard with a sullen face.

He wanted to see what kind of magic potion Chi Yan had given his father to punish him even for offending his mother.

Could it be that his father knew about Chi Yan's talent and reputation outside and felt that he brought honor to the family, so he was reluctant to punish him?

The more Chi Sheng thought about it, the angrier he became.

These days, teahouses and bookstores are discussing Chi Yan's new poems, and the poem "Ode to the Plum Blossom" is extremely popular.

Even the most famous teacher in the capital praised him for his outstanding talent and learning, saying that he was the incarnation of the God of Literature.

With the Master's affirmation, Chi Yan's reputation became more and more famous. Many people have been discussing privately that Chi Yan will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future, surpassing Chi Sheng and becoming a new noble in the court.

These words have planted the seeds of resentment in Chi Sheng's heart.

He had long disliked Chi Yan.

This time, what happened to my mother completely ignited the fuse.

He walked quickly to the door of Chi Yan's room. The servant guarding the door saw that he was coming in a threatening manner and immediately understood what he meant.

Make way for the young master.

Chi Sheng's face darkened as he ordered, "You two go guard outside the courtyard. No matter what noise you hear, you are not allowed to come in."

"Yes, young master!"

Chi Yan was reading a book inside. Hearing the noise outside the door, he shook his head in amusement.

Young Master...

Just in time!

There was a loud bang outside the door, and Chi Sheng kicked Chi Yan's door open angrily.

Chi Yan was helpless about this. Why were both of them so rude?

Fortunately, his temper has improved a lot over the years, otherwise, based on his previous personality, his head would have been twisted off.

"Master, you are here to visit me. What can I do for you?"

"Hmph, you ignorant bastard, how dare you offend my mistress and make such outrageous remarks that caused my mother to become seriously ill. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I will be unworthy of being your son and your legitimate brother!"

As Chi Sheng spoke, he drew out the dagger in his hand, gritted his teeth and ran straight towards Chi Yan.

Chi Yan made a "tsk" sound, without any panic on his face.

"Wait a moment!"

Chi Yan slammed the teacup and sneered at the stunned Chi Sheng: "You said that I said something outrageous and made the mistress sick. Then tell me, what outrageous words did I say to make someone sick..."

How would Chi Sheng know this?

His family didn't even tell him that Chi Shuangshuang had run away from her marriage.

Minister Chi didn't want to create unnecessary trouble. The more people knew about this, the more trouble it would cause. It wouldn't be too late to explain it after the dust settled and Chi Yan married into the Regent's Palace.

So at this moment, only Chi Sheng was unclear about the situation.

But Chi Yan didn't care about that. Seeing Chi Sheng didn't say anything, he said directly: "You probably don't know yet, your good sister has already run away from marriage, and my father and mistress want me to marry the regent in place of Chi Shuangshuang in order to keep things quiet.

You tell me, is this something that is too much to ask? I am unwilling to do so, is there anything wrong with me refutate it?

Your mother is sick because she is angry with Chi Shuangshuang. If Chi Shuangshuang hadn't made such a fuss, our family wouldn't have to take such a big risk."

Chi Yan put all the blame on Chi Shuangshuang.

Chi Sheng was stunned by what he heard.

He really didn't know about this, no wonder his father stopped him and refused to deal with Chi Yan.

This is actually the idea.

Chi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "Shuangshuang is a girl, she doesn't understand the seriousness of this matter. You are an educated person, don't you understand the interests involved?

Your father asked you to marry the Regent because it was for your benefit. Otherwise, with your illegitimate status, you would not be able to find a good marriage.

Chi Yan, you must be grateful and don’t forget your status. When you come to the Regent’s Palace in the future, you will still have to rely on your family for support...”

Chi Sheng's words are exactly the same as his mother's, to put it bluntly, it is moral kidnapping.

But unfortunately, this trick didn't work on Chi Yan.

Because Chi Yan has no morals at all.

Chi Sheng no longer had the confidence he had before entering the door.

Although people said that marrying the Regent was marrying above her station, everyone knew in their hearts that the Regent was a dying man and that she would probably be buried with him soon after marrying him.

Besides, even if the Regent didn’t die, would he accept a man?

In a rage, it is possible to chop Chi Yan into mud.

But he wouldn't tell anyone about this, and neither would his father or mother, so they could only keep brainwashing Chi Yan.

Otherwise, the entire Chi family will suffer a devastating disaster.
