After all, it's not good for Qi Huai to stay in Qingyinju for a long time, Jiang Qiniang is unconscious, and Qi Zhinian can't leave Qingyinju.

After the eldest princess left, she took Qi Huai away.

On the way to the front yard, the mother and son were also silent, and it was the eldest princess who spoke first: "Don't worry, I won't ask you now, you can think about how to make up something to coax me."

Qi Huai smiled wryly.

"Tell me first what happened today."

After the eldest princess and Qi Huai left, Mother Fan came back to life, and even the mother and daughter of the Lin family breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiuxiu's legs went limp exaggeratedly, and she fell on her mother. Widow Lin wiped the sweat from her forehead, and whispered to Mother Fan: "I have opened my eyes today..."

Mother Fan was also afraid of the eldest princess, but she could understand them, so she invited inside: "Come on, let's go in."

"Auntie..." Widow Lin is still used to calling her that, even though she already knew that they were not ordinary people, she hesitated, "Why don't we go home, this is not where we stay..."

"You heard what the eldest princess said just now, Mrs. Lin, the Duke will definitely help you make proper arrangements."

"How does this make it!"

"The eldest princess has already opened her mouth, which is irresistible. Besides, Xiuxiu is so old, you don't want her to live better? Besides, you earned it yourself, because of your kindness. , the eldest princess is willing to open this mouth, you deserve it!"

"This—" Widow Lin still hesitated.

"Let's go!" Mother Fan dragged Widow Lin in.

A quiet night.

Although Qi Zhinian lived in Qingyin House again, he didn't have the same face as before. He knew that he would leave soon, so he didn't dare to run around, even though he wanted to see Qi Huai a little bit.

On the other hand, Qi Huai walked to the vicinity of Qingyin Residence unknowingly, saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, but also quiet, took a look at it for a while and then left.

The next morning, there was news.

Jiang Sanniang murdered the concubine Liang with convincing evidence. It is said that the crown prince personally interrogated Jiang Sanniang. Jiang Sanniang had confessed, and the crown prince directly sent a memorial to ask him to remove her as a side concubine. Who would have thought that the emperor would be even more angry when he heard about this, thinking that it could not be done. Jiang Sanniang was only punished for her crimes, and she was punished together with the Qingning Hou Mansion, and the title of the Qing Ning Hou Mansion was to be removed.

The crown prince was taken aback at the time, no matter how you say it, no matter how thin the Qingninghou Mansion is, it is still a force, and he will always be able to use it when he ascends the throne in the future...

But the emperor said: "You have already offended your cousin terribly this time, and you know that he hates the Qingninghou Mansion very much. If you don't give me an explanation, how can your cousin hate you in the future?"

This is purely to sow dissension, and hearing what the prince heard, I just feel that the father favors Qi Huai too much.

But he has no better way, because Qi Huai is more worthy of curry favor than Qing Ninghou Mansion.

But he didn't want to just destroy the Qingninghou's mansion, so he thought of a way to disclose the news in advance, saying that His Majesty intends to remove the Qingninghou's title, and now only the Duke of England can decide this matter.

At that time, the Jiang family will definitely beg Qi Huai, no matter what Qi Huai does, he will always be in a bad mood.

When the prince did this, he felt a little more comfortable.

When old Qing Ninghou heard the news, he was so panicked that he almost passed out. After inquiring again, only Qi Huai could save this matter, and his daughter and grandson, who had been rejected for a long time, went to the British government again!

What is face worth?

The title left by the ancestors is almost gone!Jiang Sanniang's position as side concubine has been removed. The emperor didn't like to kill people, so he spared her life, but she was also sent to the Huguo Temple to clean up with Zhao Wu. In the future, let alone returning to the palace, the gates of this city might be closed No, the whole family's hope now rests on Jiang Qiniang and Qi Zhinian.

Qi Zhinian was giving medicine to Jiang Qiniang. When she woke up in the morning, everyone in the room was very happy.

Later, someone came to report that Qing Ninghou brought his son, brothers and nephews of a large family to the door, and knelt in front of the Duke's mansion, begging the Duke to save their lives.

Qi Zhinian: "...What's the matter?"

"The slaves and servants don't know. After listening to a few ears, it seems that Jiang Sanniang has been removed from the position of side concubine and demoted to a commoner. Because of her murder of the emperor's heir, His Majesty is going to remove the title of Qingning Houfu!"

"Ah?!" Qi Zhinian was shocked, why did such a big thing happen.

"No, they came to the door to ask the Duke to come! They also said they wanted to see you and your wife!" The maid of Qingyinju must have the same heart with Qi Zhinian, she couldn't help saying, "I really want to see you at this time!"

After finishing speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and stuck out his tongue quietly.

Qi Zhinian didn't care, but Jiang Qiniang couldn't help but grab the bed sheet with her hands after hearing this.

Before Qi Zhinian could speak, Jiang Qiniang said firmly in a hoarse voice, "Don't see them!"

On the contrary, Qi Zhinian was a little surprised. He didn't expect his mother to be ruthless this time. Jiang Qiniang said intermittently: "I, I have been removed from the genealogy long ago, I, I have long been removed from the Jiang family! They bullied you! I I won't forgive them! They are just doing this for the sake of the Duke and the Princess, so what's the difference from before!"

Qi Zhinian's eyes couldn't help turning sour.

Jiang Qiniang is not a perfect person, maybe she is not a qualified mother, she is weak, evasive, and dare not reject anyone.

Now, she finally learned to change.

Jiang Qiniang coughed violently after saying a few words, Qi Zhinian patted her on the back, and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I know all about it."

Xiaoya ran in: "Xiao Langjun, the Duke asked you to come over!"

Jiang Qiniang grabbed Qi Zhinian, and Qi Zhinian comforted him, "Don't worry, mother, the Duke knows more than us, there must be a reason why he asked me to go."

"Ahem—if you are asked to meet someone from Qingninghou Mansion, don't agree to anything! No matter how many good things they say, they are still lying to you and trying to use you!"

"Ok, I know."

"come back earlier."

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go and see what's going on, and I'll come back and tell you as soon as I have any news."

Only then did Jiang Qiniang let go of his hand.

Qi Zhinian strode towards the front yard. Qi Huai stood on the steps. When he saw Qi Zhinian approaching from afar, his mood began to improve. , the little guy lives so close to him, he can see it if he wants to.

Could life be more interesting?

However, thinking of all kinds of things in reality, he still withdraws the complicated emotions in his heart.

Seeing Qi Huai standing there, Qi Zhinian started to run after he got there, running all the way down the steps, still looking up at him with those bright eyes.

Qi Huai's heart beat violently, but he could only calmly walk down the steps and asked him, "Do you already know what happened?"

"Well, I've heard them all."

"Do you want to see them?"

"..." Qi Zhinian was a little hesitant, he didn't really want to see him, but when he thought of him and his mother being ridiculed at that time, he felt panicked, he is not a saint, he always has a temper.

"You may not know that in the past 16 years, because of you, Qingninghou Shizi was able to get an official position as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Households, and your cousins ​​were able to go to the Imperial College to study. Even the relatives of Qingninghou's family Being an official is all about your face, and even Zhao Wu is not a heir to a son, so he would not have been named princess at such a young age, and this is also because of you."

"Ah—but they never begged me, and I'm never in the position to do that."

"Why should I ask you? People know their relationship with you, and they won't do it for them?"

"..." Qi Zhinian thought to himself, the relationship with him must be because of the eldest princess and Qi Huai behind him.

"Let's go and see them."

"Oh." Qi Zhinian listened to Qi Huai's words, and Qi Huai told him to go, so he went.

Seeing his obedient and somewhat ignorant appearance, Qi Huai's heart was itchy, and he stretched out his hands unconsciously, also wanting to rub his head, and then paused halfway.

Qi Zhinian tilted his head, rubbed his small head against Qi Huai's hand, and smiled sweetly at him.

Qi Huai laughed, not knowing why, but it was even more bitter.

Qi Huai and Qi Zhinian came to the gate of the Duke's Mansion together.

Seeing the two of them, Qing Ninghou Shizi, who is Qi Zhinian's uncle, stood up and rushed towards him: "Brother Nian! You have to help grandfather and uncle—"

Qi Zhinian couldn't dodge, and was pulled aside by Qi Huai.

Qing Ninghou Shizi rushed to nothing, looked back at Qi Huai, and said in a weak voice: "Master... our family is really wronged, San Niang has been married into the palace for many years, since she entered the palace, we have been together At most, I will only see her once a year, so what does that have to do with us, my lord!"

Qi Huai smiled: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that this matter has something to do with the palace? Is the palace teaching your daughter badly?"

Qing Ninghou Shizi was shocked, and immediately shook his head: "Don't dare! That's not what I meant!"

At this time, the old Qing Ninghou, who pretended to be exhausted, coughed a few times, was helped by his grandson, and a few lines of tears fell from his old eyes. Without asking Qi Huai, he pointed at Qi Zhinian and wailed: "Brother Nian, look When everything is fine with you, my grandfather will be relieved. These days, you have suffered, and I don’t know anything about you. Your third aunt, hey! Don’t say anything!”

Qing Ninghou Shizi also nodded again and again: "Yes! If Sanniang hadn't concealed it, your grandfather and I would have taken you home long ago! Why let you suffer outside! We have been looking for you these days." He also wiped Tears, "Fortunately, now that you two have returned to the Duke's Mansion, this is a good thing!"

While talking, the father and son looked at Qi Zhinian, only to see this grandson (nephew), who used to be the most coquettish, with a frozen face.

The two of them felt a sudden shock.

In the end, Qing Ninghou put down his old face, "Ouch" a few times, and "fainted" to the ground again, just "fainted" at Qi Zhinian's feet.

Prince Qingning wept: "Brother Nian, you must save your grandfather. If our family loses this title, how will we explain to our ancestors? Then you and your mother will have no honor!"

Then begged Qi Huai: "Grandpa, we really don't know anything about it, please go and say something nice for us before Your Majesty! I beg you!"

Look at Qi Zhinian again: "The family just built a new yard for you and your mother, and we are waiting to take you two back to live in! If the title is gone and the house is taken back, what should we do with the well-kept yard? !this--"

Qi Zhinian said suddenly, "If you were really worried about me and my mother, you would have come to pick us up early when we were rejected by your family. However, I can support myself now." My mother, I don’t care about your things for a long time. My mother was expelled from the genealogy long ago, and my mother and I have nothing to do with your Jiang family! If there is that yard again, my mother and I will not be close together. I will leave Kyoto, let alone your yard!"

Hearing this, Qi Huai's eyebrows twitched and he frowned tightly.

He looked at Qi Zhinian's profile, are they really going to leave the capital?

"That's the end of the story. Jiang Sanniang was responsible for all the crimes you suffered. You came to find the Duke of the country, and you came to the British government to make trouble. What is the matter! Begging me is useless, I am just a commoner now! None of us can help You guys! Please leave quickly!"

After Qi Zhinian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qing Ninghou Shizi stretched out his hand to grab it, Qi Huai glanced at him, he felt cold and shrank back.

Qi Zhinian walked a few steps, old Qing Ninghou stopped pretending, straightened up, and said angrily: "Qi Zhinian, are you really disregarding relatives?!"

Qi Zhinian looked back at him: "In the past 16 years, because my mother and I lived in the Duke's Mansion, how many benefits have you received? If there were no such benefits, you would have expelled my mother as early as 16 years ago." Genealogy! The reason why people are human is to have some self-knowledge, some self-respect and self-love. It's not that I don't regard you as relatives, but you have already rejected us!"

"You ask Jiang Qiniang to come out! I am her father! How dare she not see me?!"

Qi Zhinian rarely sneered, and said word by word: "My mother is no longer the little concubine who was left to be tortured by you back then. From now on, she will have my protection!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Zhinian didn't look back, and strode into the door.

The two of them were about to rush forward, Qi Huai stretched out his arms to stop them, looked at them coldly, and the two of them became shorter again.

"I'll give you a cup of tea, and I'll tie you up and send you to the palace myself before you leave."

"you!!"

Qi Huai turned around and went after Qi Zhinian.

Old Qing Ninghou really passed out on the steps this time.

Qi Zhinian walked for a long time before the anger dissipated slowly and his pace slowed down. When he noticed the shadow following behind him, he stopped and looked back at Qi Huai, finally showing embarrassment: " Was I ugly just now, very unmannered..."

Qi Huai praised him: "That's very well said."

Qi Zhinian laughed again.

He originally wanted to ask Qi Huai to understand the series of things. It was obviously Zhao Kai's business yesterday, but after one night, how did Jiang Sanniang have an accident?People from Qingyinju came to look for him, saying that Jiang Qiniang was anxious to see him.

Qi Zhinian knew that she was worried about the Qingning Hou Mansion, so he talked to Qi Huai and went to Qingyinju first.

Qi Zhinian told Jiang Qiniang everything, knowing that he didn't hear what Ninghou said, Jiang Qiniang was relieved, Qi Zhinian also told her that Jiang Sanniang had been sent to Huguo Temple.

Jiang Qiniang let go for a while, and said quietly: "What's the use of thinking hard."

Qi Zhinian often heard from Nanny Fan that it was Jiang Sanniang who framed his mother, but he never dared to mention it to Jiang Qiniang.

At this time, his head was also hot, and he asked in a low voice: "Mother, I, who is my biological father... Do you know?"

Jiang Qiniang was silent and did not speak.

Qi Zhinian guessed that she should know, but he just didn't want to say it.

Qi Zhinian helped her cover the quilt: "I'm just asking, it's okay if mother doesn't tell me, I never thought of going to him."

Jiang Qiniang held his hand: "Nian'er, let's go."

"...Huh?" Qi Zhinian looked at him.

"Qingninghou's Mansion is almost gone. Let's leave here completely and start a new life."

"But, but—"

"Don't you also want to go to Jiangnan? The preparations have been made before, and we will leave tomorrow."

Qi Zhinian was dumbfounded.

He kept talking about leaving, and thinking of leaving, and indeed he was almost ready, but at this moment, for some reason, he wanted to escape again, and even Qi Huai's smiling eyes flashed in front of his eyes again.

"Nian'er, we can no longer live here. This is due to the kindness of the Duke and the Princess, but we have to know what is good and what is bad."

"I know...but—"

But what?Qi Zhinian didn't know either.

"I did something wrong back then, and it's God's grace to be able to get to where I am now. Brother Nian, the Duke is open-minded, and can take care of our mother and son like this, but he will marry a wife and have children after all. We can't stay here." Come down and get in the way."

In fact, this was what Jiang Qiniang was most worried about.

The eldest princess and the Duke are willing to let them go, but it does not mean that the future wife of the Duke and the family behind her are also willing to let them go. After Qi Huai has a decent child, Qi Zhinian will only be more embarrassed when the time comes, Qing Ning The Hou Mansion is gone, and they have no support behind them. How will she protect her child then?

If she was the only one, death would be death, but now she has a child to take care of.

She has been in a daze for many years, and this time she also wants to wake up and make a decision on her own initiative.

Qi Zhinian was still in a daze, but after hearing this, his heart was quickly drenched in ice water.

Yes, Qi Huai will eventually marry a wife and have children.

Jiang Qiniang said again: "We will leave tomorrow."

Qi Zhinian lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes that he didn't understand, and he responded with silence.

Before leaving, I must tell Qi Huai that Qi Zhinian still couldn't muster up the courage to go to Qi Huai.

It wasn't until night fell that Qi Zhinian went to the front yard to look for Qi Huai in a few hours. Qi Huai was just about to go out to the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess was still waiting for his explanation.

In many ways, his mother may not be as good as him.

But in terms of "looking at the heart", especially his Qi Huai's heart, no one knows him better than the eldest princess, even himself.

Qi Huai has never encountered such a difficult thing since he was a child. How can it be so difficult for a small person?

It just so happens that he is such a villain, he thinks about it when he can't see it, and even wants to hold him in his arms forever when he sees it.

Qi Huai is not stupid, he realized that he might have encountered the same feelings as his father and mother.

but--

Does a person like him have such qualifications?

Qi Zhinian really relied on him, how much of it could be other than family affection?

Before he realized his feelings, he was reluctant to hurt Qi Zhinian, let alone at this time.

How to explain the complexity to my mother is even more complicated.

At this moment, Qi Zhinian came over.

There are several begonias planted outside the window of his study, and the flowers are blooming in the spring night, Qi Huai was about to come out from the veranda, when Qi Zhinian walked over and whispered: "I have something to tell you..."

Looking at him, Qi Huai already guessed what he meant, probably he came to say goodbye.

Qi Huai said "Okay" and led him to sit directly on the bench in the veranda, with a crabapple beside him.

The two sat down side by side, and the shadow of the crabapple fell quietly on their shoulders.
