Chapter 70 Shooting yourself in the foot
When Xi Qingyan returned to the suburbs of Beijing, she saw the tenants collecting rent, which directly made Xi Chuyu and Shangshu’s wife a laughing stock in the entire capital.
"It's embarrassing! It's really embarrassing!"
"You two really lost all the faces of our Shangshu Mansion!"
The Minister of Rites looked at his wife and daughter and cursed. He used to think that although the wife of Shangshu was not from a high school, fortunately she was well-educated. Now it seems that he is completely out of the way as a husband!
"I am the Minister of Rites of the Court. I am in charge of the etiquette and rules of the whole world. As my wife and my daughter, you have become a laughing stock in the entire capital because of calculating the stepdaughter and calculating the elder sister, such as calculating the general etiquette, has become a laughing stock among the people of the capital!"
"You still have the face to feel wronged here now? I am the one who truly feels most wronged!"
Lord Xi, the Minister of Rites, cursed Xi Chuyu, who was kneeling in front of him, and even the wife of the Secretary standing beside him did not let him go!
"None of you have the ability to manage the Shangshu Mansion well. Qingyan can manage all the trivial matters in the mansion, so that you can do your own things freely. Since you are still pulling her back here?"
"Are you from my Minister of Rites' Mansion? You try your best to destroy the Minister of Rites' Mansion. Do you know how much effort I have put in for this family?"
Lord Xi used to be angry because of the wrong things done by Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu. However, the reason why he got angry at that time was actually because he was angry.
Today is different from the past. Mr. Xi was not only angry, but also disappointed with what his second wife and Xi Chuyu did.
He used to be pampered with his second wife and loved Xi Chuyu because he felt that whether it was his second wife or his daughter, they made him feel happy and stable.
Now, Xi Chuyu and her second wife cannot provide him with a stable and happy home, and they also ruined the reputation of the Minister of Rites' Mansion everywhere. How could Lord Xi spare her easily?
"His Highness Su Yiting is the chief judge of this matter. He decided not to interfere in this matter. Madam, this time you should ask for your own blessing."
Mr. Xi's words surprised Mrs. Shangshu.
After the news that Qiuxiang was sent to the government office came, the wife of Shangshu brought Xi Chuyu to admit her mistake. In her opinion, the worst consequence of this incident was that the mother and son were scolded by her husband and sentenced to one month's confinement.
But what caught her off guard was that her husband chose to ignore him?
Qiuxiang is now in the prison of the government office, and all the evidences and evidences are presented to the government office. If this matter really needs to be tried seriously, she and her daughter Xi Chuyu will probably not be able to escape!
"Husband, you can't ignore us mother and daughter! Even if you are dissatisfied with us mother and daughter, you should think about the Minister of Rites' Mansion!"
The wife of the Shangshu tried her best to find a reason, so that her husband, who is the Minister of Rites, would not give up on their mother and daughter!
"Now this matter is already in a turmoil. If the government office lets Qiu Xiang openly trial and then we will be punished by our mother and daughter, then you will become a laughing stock in the mouth of everyone in your life!"
"Husband, I know that you have made a lot of efforts to become a good minister in your life. Husband, you have studied hard for so many years. Now it doesn't matter whether we, mother and daughter, are in the jail. What matters is your official voice!"
"If the government office believes that if we mother and daughter kill Xi Qingyan, the person who will suffer the greatest losses in the end is actually your husband."
After experiencing several incidents, Mrs. Shangshu has fully realized that her husband, Lord Xi, is an extremely selfish person.
If this matter only involves her and her daughter Xi Chuyu, her husband will definitely try his best to separate the relationship.
Therefore, the wife of Shangshu wanted to pull her husband to sink together.
"Husband, I and Chu Yu both knew that this matter was wrong, but Xi Qingyan did not do it right. If Qiu Xiang really looked at it carefully, wasn't that the family affairs of our Shangshu Mansion? Not only did Xi Qingyan not protect the appearance of Shangshu Mansion, she even... She also specially found His Highness Su Yiting and let the royal family be in charge.
Watching our jokes!”
After seeing that his husband, Lord Xi's expression was a little calmer, the wife of the Shangshu quietly mocked Xi Qingyan.
"That's it! This is Xi Qingyan's wrong!"
Xi Chuyu was singing on the side. She looked at her mother's words to relieve her father's anger, so she added fuel to the fire and slandered Xi Qingyan.
"Dad, my daughter has always been the best daughter in your heart. You used to be so kind and gentle to me. Now, you only care about Xi Qingyan. I am just jealous of your goodness to Xi Qingyan, so I feel hot and believe Qiuxiang's slander!"
"Dad, my daughter knows that she did something wrong, but Xi Qingyan also ruined her daughter's good things today and the bright future of our Minister of Rites' Mansion!"
Xi Chuyu still remembers the bored look when Xi Chuyu saw His Highness Su Yiting quarrel with Qiuxiang.
"Chu Yu, what do you mean?"
Lord Xi originally thought that his daughter Xi Chuyu was very stupid and unwilling to pay more attention to her, but her daughter actually said such words.
"Dad, you don't know that when my daughter is in danger today, it was His Highness Su Yiting who personally went to save me. My daughter had a great time talking to His Highness Su Yiting. This time, His Highness took care of her daughter a lot. Originally... It was very likely that her daughter and His Highness Su Yiting would be natural..."
"Who would have expected that Xi Qingyan would come to the door at this time, and then Qiuxiang talked nonsense in front of the hall. His Highness had already looked at me differently, but Xi Qingyan's interference made His Highness Su Yiting's favor for me disappear completely!"
"If... if Xi Qingyan was not there, my daughter took advantage of the opportunity of Your Highness to save my life and had a good contact with Your Highness, then I will most likely be Su Yiting's princess in the future! Father, you will also be the princess' biological father!"
Xi Chuyu had so much resentment towards Xi Qingyan that she was about to overflow.
"Dad, the future of my daughter and the Shangshu Mansion is destroyed by Xi Qingyan. I just taught her a lesson today. If it is worse than the level of bad behavior, wouldn't Xi Qingyan do more than me?"
Xi Chuyu's words made Xi Qingyan, who had just walked outside the door, laughed. Sure enough, if she didn't show up, her father, Lord Xi, would be controlled by Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu.
"Smack sex..."
Xi Chuyu walked into the house while applauding.
"This ability to reverse the black and white depends on you, Xi Chuyu and your wife."
"Xi Qingyan, what are you talking about here? Is there anything wrong with what my mother said just now? If you hadn't insisted on making the family scandals of the Shangshu Mansion outside, would our family become a laughing stock in the capital?"
Seeing that Xi Qingyan was so sarcastic about her, Xi Chuyu retorted and retorted.
"The Shangshu Mansion prospers and both prosper and losers. You just want to take personal revenge on our mother and daughter. Do you know that we can't see anyone outside now!"
"Xi Chuyu, your words are wrong. Now the people who cannot meet others in front of others are you and your wife, not including your father and me. Moreover, as far as I know, people outside are now discussing how their father, who is the Minister of Rites, will deal with this matter!"
Xi Qingyan will not let Xi Chuyu and Shangshu's wife succeed. If they don't use the great opportunity they gave for free, that would be a real pity!
"Father, many people outside bet that their father would cover up on his wife and Xi Chuyu. They said that his father, the Minister of Rites, would not be able to handle this matter impartially."
"Qingyan, are you saying this true?"
When Lord Xi heard Xi Qingyan say that outsiders began to bet on how he would handle this matter, the alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart.
If the outsider exposes this matter to His Majesty, if he really believes these words as true, then his career will be completely ruined!
"Xi Qingyan, don't be sensational here. Those gangsters on the street are talking about this matter here and just watch the fun!"
The wife of the Shangshu hurriedly cut off Xi Qingyan's words and used the god of her thoughtful husband.
I pulled it back.
"Xi Qingyan, are you gloating now? Because you don't look at the past, you are jealous of the happy women in the world. You will also ruin your good things about your sister Xi Chuyu!"
"Xi Qingyan, you are not only ugly, but also have such a vicious mind! Do you think that His Highness Su Yiting's favourite with my daughter Chu Yu will threaten your status in the Shangshu Mansion, so he did such a sinister thing?"
"…"
Xi Qingyan discovered that Xi Chuyu and her daughter were really stupid and bad.
"Madam, are you sure the person Xu Yiting likes is Xi Chuyu? Why didn't I see that His Highness Su Yiting admires your daughter when I was in the Royal Villa?"
Xi Qingyan retorted with a smile.
"Xi Qingyan, you don't have to argue with me here! Your Highness Su Yiting is willing to save my daughter personally and bring the person back to the royal villa. Your Highness Su Yiting has never been too close to the woman. He treats Chu Yu like this, so he naturally has something to do with her!"
After hearing his daughter's words, the wife of Shangshu felt that Xi Qingyan was the most disgusting obstacle in front of the mother and daughter!
Xi Qingyan was amused by the words of the Secretary of the House.
Su Yiting looked elegant on the outside, but in fact he was not afraid of meat and vegetables. Not to mention the maids and concubines around him, even at the palace banquet of the Quaker Festival that day, Su Yiting even rolled on the same bed with Guiren Rui on the pleasure boat. Such a man could bear the words "not being too close to a woman"?
"Chuntao, bring in the things that His Highness Su Yiting gave me outside."
Xi Qingyan directly told Chuntao outside, and Chuntao brought in a brocade box. Lord Xi was the Minister of Rites. He knew at a glance that the brocade box was a royal tribute.
"Qingyan, do you say this thing was given to you by His Highness Su Yiting?"
Lord Xi never regarded Xi Qingyan, who had ruined her face, as the hope of the Shangshu Mansion, but now she was unwilling to plant willows and willows, Lord Xi was so surprised!
"Yes, father."
"After Xi Chuyu was sent back to the Shangshu's house by His Highness Su Yiting's guards, His Highness insisted on walking with me. When he parted, His Highness gave me a portion of the food around him."
Xi Qingyan was not originally planning to eat the food given to her by Su Yiting, but it was good to use these things to suppress the wife of Shangshu and her daughter.
"Father, do you want to try it with me?"
Xi Qingyan spoke up on his own initiative, and Lord Xi was a little excited. The royal spring wind, rain and dew were all the kindness of the king. He had not been specially rewarded by the royal family. Unexpectedly, his daughter was ahead of him.
"How can you, your child, taste this thing? This brocade box and the food in this box are all tributes. For the father, he should take it to the church to offer it!"
"…"
Mr. Xi's overjoyed expression gave Xi Qingyan an unexpected gain.
"Father, that lady and Chu Yu..."
