"How could General Zhao's wife be so cruel?"

When the maid heard Han Qi's words and saw her mistress winking at her, she immediately knelt on the ground and said.

"Master Han, you don't know. Yesterday, my young lady spoke up for Miss Han. After returning, Madam ordered Aunt Wei to slap Miss ten times. My young lady's face was almost ruined. She was also locked up and forced to copy Buddhist scriptures. Miss ran away secretly today. If Madam knew about it, she would definitely punish Miss severely... Our young lady is so pitiful..."

The more Han Qi listened, the angrier he became.

I didn't expect that Madam Zhao had such a good reputation outside, but treated her concubine like this in private.

It was so hateful.

He also felt more sorry for Zhao Yu.

"Shut up. Don't talk nonsense. Otherwise I won't forgive you." Zhao Yu scolded the maid in panic.

Zhao Yu explained to Han Qi anxiously.

"My maidservant is ignorant, Master Han, please don't believe me. My stepmother is also very good to me..."

"Yu'er, you have suffered."

Han Qi looked at Zhao Yu with heartache, then made up his mind and said.

"I will not marry Zhao Nian. She is such a vicious person and has such a vicious mother. She is not worthy of being the mistress of my Han family."

Zhao Yu looked at Han Qi in shock.

What does he mean?

"I'll go back and tell my mother that you're the one I want to marry."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he refused anxiously.

"Master Han, no. You are my eldest sister's future husband, how can you marry me? If my stepmother knew, she would not let me go."

Although Zhao Yu refused verbally, she was ecstatic in her heart.

Ever since she knew her stepmother was looking for a marriage partner for her step-sister, she had set her sights on Han Qi. Over the past few months, she had been trying every possible way to run into Han Qi and show off her good qualities in front of him.

She had spent hundreds of taels of silver in the past few months, but when she heard that Han Qi wanted to marry her, she felt that it was all worth it.

"Yu'er, don't be afraid. I will definitely find a way."

Seeing Zhao Yu's frightened look, Han Qi was even more aroused to protect him. He felt that a real man should do what he said. Since he had made a promise, he should do it.

Yu'er is such a poor girl, and she is so good. If she hadn't been born in the aunt's womb, if she were a legitimate daughter, she would definitely be able to marry someone of higher status.

He was not the kind of person who looked down on concubines' children. Moreover, Yu'er was so good, he believed that love could overcome all difficulties.

"Do you like me?"

Han Qi stared at Zhao Yu closely.

When Zhao Yu heard Han Qi's words, his face immediately turned red.

She turned her head away shyly.

Seeing Zhao Yu like this, Han Qi laughed.

He reached out and held Zhao Yu's hand.

"Yu'er, I will definitely take care of everything."

Zhao Yu burst into tears.

"Master Han, are you telling the truth? You are not lying to me, are you? How can someone like me be worthy of you?"

"How can you not be worthy? You are both talented and beautiful, a hundred times better than Zhao Nian."

Han Qi felt that Zhao Yu was too modest. He had heard this not only from his sister, but also from some other people. They all said that if Zhao Yu was a legitimate daughter, she would definitely be better than Zhao Nian.

Qin Shiyi's people were listening next door, and after listening for a while, they sent someone to quietly enter the room to report and told Zhao Nian everything they said.

Zhao Nian was so angry that his face changed.

She didn't like Han Qi and she never wanted to marry him.

It was my mother and grandmother who thought Han Qi was good.
