Chapter 25 Worry

Qi Changsheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" Then he said angrily, "My son is a good student and a future prime minister. How can you just arrest him and bring him to the government office!"

The servant didn't dare to lie, bowed and said: "What I said is absolutely true. It was someone from Yanchunlou who came to your house and told me."

"Where is the person who reported the news?"

The servant said in a low voice: "I rushed here to tell you after hearing it. Sir, we didn't keep him."

"Idiot!" Qi Changsheng kicked him angrily, and then ordered the steward to take people to Yanchun Tower to ask in detail, "Find out clearly why and who could have come to the government office to make trouble. If you find anyone related, bring them back!"

The steward immediately took people out, and suddenly lights were lit inside and outside the courtyard, making the night much brighter.

In Yanchunlou, the madam asked the girls to go and rest first, and specifically asked Ying'er to accompany Yunchan, as she was worried that she could not sleep tonight. The building was in a mess, so the madam ordered several servants to clean it, leaving only Yunchan's room on the second floor as it was, to be cleaned up after the government officials came to check it out tomorrow. It was late at night but There were footsteps outside the building. The steward of the Qi Mansion came in and pointed at the madam and shouted, "You brought trouble to my master and put him in the government office, but you stayed out of it and enjoyed your leisure time."

The madam suddenly felt exhausted and stroked her chest. She said in a sad voice, "It's really a shame to let people live!"

The steward spat and roared, "You still have the nerve to cry! Tell me the truth who harmed my master!"

Yunchan lay down After Ying'er tuck the quilt into her, she vaguely heard a quarrel. She frowned slightly and was about to get up to see what was going on, but was stopped by Ying'er.

She looked pale, holding her forehead and said, "Today's incident was caused by me. I think it must be someone that has come to find me." Ying'er stopped her and said, "Madam told you to sleep well. Don't worry about it."

Her eyes were as sharp as a torch, and she would not tolerate any refusal: "Do you want Madam to bear the unwarranted infamy for me?"

Ying'er knew she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head, while Yunchan felt guilty and softened her voice: "I know you feel sorry for me, But I can't just walk away after causing trouble."

The steward downstairs pointed at the madam and scolded her, asking, "Who is it? Why are you so reluctant to tell me?"

The madam leaned over the table, She cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath and kept shaking her head.

The manager ran out of patience and threatened, "Okay! Since you won't tell me, I'll have everyone in your building beaten up, until someone will confess."

The servants in the building usually only run errands and do odd jobs. There was no way they could defeat the strong men steward brought with him. Just as the strong men were stretching their muscles and preparing to punch, a clear voice came from the second floor.

"Show mercy."

The steward looked up and saw Ying'er supported by Yunchan and walking down slowly until they were in front of them. He waved his hand to stop the people around him and looked at her: "You are the one who harmed our master."

Yun Chan coughed, her voice extremely weak: "Master Qi is my benefactor, how dare I harm him?"

The steward looked her over, he was very contemptuous of her identity and said, "If it's not you, then why was my master locked up in the government office for no reason?"

"Of course it has something to do with me. Master Qi was reciting poems with me. Master Xu suddenly barged in. I don't know why he came towards me." Yun Chan stood up straight and coughed a few times as she spoke more forcefully. "Master Qi is the most upright and honest person. He was afraid that he would hurt me, so he stopped him alone. He told me to go downstairs and call for help."

At this time she stopped talking, tears slowly flowed down her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Who knew... When the servant went to check, it was too late. Master Xu was covered in blood and died. Then the bailiffs came and had to take Master Qi away."

The steward was so shocked after hearing her words that he stared with his eyes wide open, "My master... killed someone?"

Yunchan asked softly. She nodded and cried bitterly. Ying'er's eyes turned red as well. She advised, "Sister, you've cried so many times. What if you hurt your eyes?"

She sobbed and said, "If I go blind, I go blind. If ... It's worth it if this never happened!"

The steward was upset by her crying and frowned, "In this case, you follow me to Qi's house and explain to my master."

The madam walked over and said sternly "No, who knows if you want to use Yunchan to atone for your master's crime."

The steward wanted to say something, but the madam interrupted him and said, "Yunchan will be summoned by the government Tomorrow we will go to court directly!"

He didn't dare to cause any more trouble, so he had to say harshly: "You'd better show up honestly tomorrow." Then he took his people back to Qi Mansion in a hurry.

Qi Changsheng no longer had the heart to be affectionate with his beautiful concubine. He sat in the study, anxiously waiting, and from time to time asked the servant outside the room: "Is Wu Gui not back yet?"

The servant replied: "Steward Wu is not back yet."

At this moment, the street night watchman had already struck the gong and drum four times. Wu Gui trotted into the mansion and walked around the corridor. The guard saw that he looked hurried and said, "Steward Wu, you are finally back! The master is in the study."

Wu Gui ran to the study without stopping. When he reached the door, he accidentally tripped. He didn't even bother to get up and said, "Master! Master Cheng killed someone!"

Qi Changsheng just stood up but when he heard this, He swayed and fell back into the chair.

Wu Gui quickly got up, stroked his chest and said, "My lord, Cheng Ge'er is still waiting for you to save him!"

"Oh my God! Why do you want to harm my son!" He cried out in grief and tears fell.

After finally calming down, Qi Changsheng finally remembered to ask Wu Gui: "Cheng Ge'er has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, how could he do such a thing?"

Wu Gui relayed Yun Chan's words to him, he was so angry that veins on his forehead popped out, and he roared "That whore deserves to be killed! She bewitched my son's mind and helped her to block Xu, causing trouble for no reason!"

"Don't get yourself hurt by anger, sir. The most urgent thing right now is to find a way to Cheng Ge'er, come out now, otherwise he will be charged with murder. Not only will your career be hopeless, but you may even lose your life!"

According to the laws of this dynasty, murderers should pay with their lives, but if there is a reason, they can be dealt with at their discretion.

Qi Changsheng calmed down and said, "You're right! Cheng Ge'er has a bright future ahead of him. He cannot let those filthy people drag him down and ruin his life!" He rolled his eyes, analyzed the situation, and asked Wu Gui, "Who are the people from Xu Mansion? Do they know about this?"

Wu Gui guessed: "Xu's house is only one street away from Yanchunlou, so he must have known about it."

Qi Changsheng frowned, noticing something unusual, and said: "If that's the case, people from Xu's house should have come to the door long ago. why is there no movement now?" He paced to the door and looked at the sky: "What time is it?"

The servant replied: "Yin Shi six quarters."

The government office opens at Mao Shi, so there's less than One hour from now.

Qi Changsheng immediately ordered Wu Gui, "Go to the warehouse and pack up the jade ruyi and send it to Xu's house. They must be waiting for us to come. As long as they are willing to put forward conditions, no matter what they are, you must agree to them first." Wu Gui nodded and said, He began to change his clothes and prepared to wait in front of the yamen.

In Yunyan Village, Qi Sui did not sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed. The system complained to her: "Host, if you don't sleep, the day will be dawn!"

But she always felt uneasy tonight and said: "System, I am worried that There's an accident."

A mechanical voice sounded in her mind: "Accidents happen every day in various places in this world."

Qi Sui turned over, "You are so cold."

After the third cock crow The sky slightly brighten. She had a light sleep and it happened that she was supposed to go to Yanchunlou today, so she got up. After feeding Changsheng, Qi Sui went to the fields to harvest vegetables. When passing by other fields, the farmers were spreading fertilizers in the fields.

Seeing her, the farmer greeted her with a smile: "Sui Jie, you got up so early, have you eaten yet?"

Qi Sui nodded and replied: "No hurry, I will eat after I finish my work."

She harvested a large amount of spinach and eggplant, all of which are seasonal vegetables and rich in nutrition. Then she went to the orchard to pick a few baskets of loquats and filled the ox cart. After Qi Sui and ChangSheng arrived in town, they first bought two hot buns to fill their stomachs, and packed several for Cheng An. "It's hot, eat quickly."

Cheng An naturally took it and gave it to Cheng Bao, telling her: "Be careful, it's hot." Cheng Bao nodded obediently.

After Qi Sui had rested, she said, "You can take Bao Jie to the private school. I'll go there by myself."

Cheng An nodded, "If you need anything, wait for me in the shop."

Qi Sui smiled and told Cheng Bao what Shen Yu had told her, "Bao Jie, Sister Yu said that if you need any books, just tell her and she can find them for you." Then she patted her head and took Changsheng to Yanchunlou. Compared with the past, Yanchun Tower today seemed particularly deserted. Even the cleaning servant wasn't there. When Qi Sui walked in, there's only an old man in the building.

The old man recognized her and said, "Young lady, you are here to deliver food, right?"

Qi Sui nodded, pointed at Changsheng outside, and asked him, "Old man, why is the madam not in the building?"

The old man sighed and told her "She and Miss Yun were summoned to the government office by the officials to testify."

Qi Sui was shocked. Knowing that the government office was where cases were tried, she asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

The old man told her everything that happened yesterday. then sighed: "I don't know which god they have offended? Everything turned upside down overnight."

Qi Sui naturally knew that she was the source of this matter, but she did not expect it to develop to this point.

The system sneered at her: "Just you?"
