The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 176

Qi Lin gritted his teeth and lowered his fist angrily, really unwilling to admit that he was afraid of Qi Xuan.

At this time, the butler came running again, sweating profusely, "My lord, those people are about to break in, do you want to call them out?"

Meng Fuling has the urge to laugh, doesn't she?The butler ran in and out from time to time to communicate the situation outside, every time he panicked like someone was chasing him from behind, but this time he didn't leave right away.

"Hit for what? What if they sue the emperor?" Qi Youming said angrily.

He was made even more flustered by the housekeeper, but he didn't want to sever ties with Qi Xuan, what should he do?
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a solution, but Qi Youming had no choice but to suppress his anger, and forced a smile that was not sincere, "Ah Xuan, we are a family, and even if we have any grievances on weekdays, it is over. It’s better to work together.”

"Hmph! Who is your family?" Meng Fuling was already unable to comment on Qi Youming's thick skin.

"Qi Youming, has anyone ever said that your acting skills are terrible?" Qi Xuan called Qi Youming's name directly this time, with a sarcastic smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

Both Qi Youming and Qi Lin couldn't help but shuddered at the same time. At this moment, even a fool could understand that no matter how much they said, they couldn't make Qi Xuan take out 30 taels of silver for no reason.

"You rebellious son!" Qi Youming held his breath in his heart, he couldn't get up and down, he was so uncomfortable, he looked at Qi Xuan like a sworn enemy.

Qi Lin was on the side again, pretending to help him caress his heart, and persuaded: "Father, you just promise him? It's useless to beg him! He thinks he's a general, so he doesn't take us seriously. If you want to sever ties with us, such unfilial and unrighteous people, you can deny it."

Qi Youming thought about it, and felt that Qi Lin's words made sense, and if he didn't agree, maybe Qi Xuan wouldn't pay a penny, and it wouldn't be worth it.

"Hmph! You rebellious beast, this king can agree, but don't regret it, let alone beg this king to forgive you!" Qi Youming continued to say that with a face of reluctance.

"Is this old bastard not smart enough, or is he just too arrogant?" Meng Fuling was really annoyed when he heard Qi Youming bite each bastard, and asked Qi Xuan with a sneer.

"Don't pay attention to him, he has a brain problem and has never been normal before." Qi Xuan raised his hand and gently pinched Meng Fuling's tender face, smiling extremely dotingly.

"You—" Qi Youming's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he was about to rush over to teach Meng Fuling a lesson.

Qi Lin immediately pulled him back, "Father, we are magnanimous people, what do we do with them so much? Let's get things done quickly."

joke!It took a lot of effort to persuade his father to agree. If there was a real disturbance, more than 30 taels would be ruined, and Qi Xuan would not be able to be divided.

Seeing Qi Lin like this, Meng Fuling felt disgusted, and thought, Luo Yao should be worthy of this kind of person.

Qi Youming's expression was extremely exciting, and finally he ordered the housekeeper angrily: "Go and invite the patriarch here, remember to go through the back door."

He was afraid that the patriarch would see debt collectors outside the gate, so he asked the housekeeper to invite the patriarch to enter the mansion through the back door.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to invite the patriarch over. After all, Qi Youming had to call the patriarch Second Uncle, and he was nearly seventy years old now.

Seeing the arrival of the patriarch, Qi Youming and Qi Lin hurriedly saluted.

The patriarch just nodded, and went directly to greet Qi Xuan.

After Qi Xuan's mother passed away, there were not many elders who were close to him, and this patriarch was one of them, not because of his status.

Therefore, Qi Xuan treated the patriarch very well, and the two chatted.

They directly regarded Qi Youming and Qi Lin as transparent.

Qi Youming was left on the sidelines with an embarrassed expression on his face, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the patriarch, forced a smile, stepped forward to greet the patriarch to sit down, and called the maid to serve some tea and refreshments.

The patriarch waved his hand and asked directly, "I'm not busy. You invited me here. What's the matter?"

The housekeeper only said that there was an urgent matter, but did not say that Qi Xuan was leaving the Ding'an Palace. If he hadn't heard that Qi Xuan was there, the patriarch would not have come to the Ding'an Palace.

He has never been used to Qi Youming's way of acting, especially when Qi Youming threw Qi Xuan to the barracks back then. He wondered how many people were cutting Qi Youming's back.

Who doesn't think that Qi Youming is hopelessly stupid?She would rather pamper Qi Lin, a son who is useless and difficult to become a great talent, but treat such an excellent son as Qi Xuan as a deadly enemy.

Many people want to climb up to Qi Xuan, but they can't. Therefore, Qi Youming is an idiot in the eyes of the world.

Moreover, what made the patriarch most dissatisfied was that Qi Youming actually let him enter the mansion through the back door, so he didn't take him seriously as the patriarch.

"Second Uncle, the thing is like this, Qi Xuan wants to stand on his own, so he specially invites you to come and be a witness." Qi Youming didn't seem to notice the patriarch's dissatisfaction with him, fearing that Qi Xuan would say something that would be unfavorable to him, he robbed him.

"Ah Xuan, what's going on?" The patriarch frowned, ignored Qi Youming, and asked Qi Xuan instead.

Qi Youming hurriedly said again: "Second Uncle doesn't know something, the family is unfortunate! Qi Xuan has grown up now, his wings are stiff, I am also sad, but it is not easy to stop him."

"I didn't ask you, why did you interrupt?" the patriarch stared and scolded.

Whether the patriarch is an elder, Qi Youming was still a little afraid of him, so he obediently shut up.

Seeing this, Meng Fuling had a very good impression of the patriarch, and she looked at Qi Xuan.

He held her hand tightly and said to the patriarch, "Second Uncle, I believe you need not tell me about many things. I used to be young, but now I'm an adult and I'm about to get married. That's why I troubled Second Uncle to come forward. Be a witness and leave the house."

Qi Xuan didn't say a word about Qi Youming, but said in a calm tone.

Although the patriarch hated Qi Youming's actions, he also didn't like to judge the matter of Prince An's Mansion. Now that he is invited, he is naturally biased towards Qi Xuan.

So, the patriarch didn't wait for Qi Youming to speak, and said, "If that's the case, let's share!"

After the patriarch finished speaking, he asked his followers to invite several patriarchs to come over to be witnesses and provide them with the necessary items for the separation of the family.

After all the people arrived, the patriarch asked: "How do you divide it, have you agreed on it?"

"Second Uncle, the mansion has not been rich these past few years. Just now Qi Xuan said that as long as he leaves the Ding'an Palace, he will not want any family wealth, and he will leave me another 30 taels of support money." Qi Youming said shamelessly.

He also didn't dare to say that Qi Xuan was asked to take out 30 taels of silver in order to pay off the debt, and he directly said that it was the silver of support.

After Meng Fuling heard this, she was a little dumb. Although Qi Xuan not only didn't want a single cent of Ding'an Palace, but also helped them repay their debts, how could Qi Youming be so shameless?
"30 taels?" The patriarch's eyes widened in shock after hearing this, this is not a small amount!

Several clan elders were also shocked, it was hard to believe that Qi Youming would open such a big mouth.

"Yes, 30 taels." Qi Youming originally wanted to say that not a single cent should be lost, but seeing the patriarch's already gloomy face, he dared not say it.

"Kicking the unmarried son out of the house not only does not give the family property, but also asks for a lot of money. 30 taels, how can you speak?" The patriarch slapped the table heavily and scolded Qi Youming loudly.

A trace of a smile flashed across Meng Fuling's eyes, but it quickly faded away, and she took a step forward.

Pretending to look aggrieved, he said: "Second Uncle, you don't know that the prince called me and A Xuan over today, because he wanted A Xuan to disobey the Queen Mother's will and marry Prime Minister Luo's daughter instead. If A Xuan refused, he Then he said that if he didn't listen to him, he would drive Axuan out of the house. It happened that some debt collectors came outside the palace, saying that Qi Lin owed 30 taels of silver for gambling. He forced Axuan to give 30 taels of silver to him. Qi Lin repays the debt, Ah Xuan is angry, so he can only ask to set up his own family."

Meng Fuling said a lot of half-truths in one breath. When dealing with people like Qi Youming and Qi Lin, that's how it should be, and there is no need to show any sympathy.

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ask Qi Xuan to disobey the Queen Mother's will? He also gave the 30 taels voluntarily, and I didn't force him." Qi Youming said angrily.

Qi Lin also hurriedly chimed in: "Second Uncle, don't listen to her nonsense, how could I go to gamble and owe so much money."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the clan elders said: "She didn't lie. When we came in, there were many debt collectors outside."

The others also nodded in agreement, because the patriarch sent someone to invite them over, so naturally they would not leave the front door open, but walked through the back door, so they saw the debt collector outside.

The patriarch knew Meng Fuling's identity through Qi Xuan, so he didn't question her words at all. Now that several clan elders have confirmed that someone outside the palace is collecting debts, they believe what she said.

But for this matter, he still had to listen to Qi Xuan personally say, "Ah Xuan, are you really willing to help Qi Lin pay off the debt? 30 taels is not a small amount, and it doesn't make sense for you to pay it back."

Qi Xuan smiled, and said helplessly, "Second Uncle, I was also forced to do nothing. He suppressed me with filial piety, so what can I do? Simply, give them money. However, after the separation, I have nothing to do with them anymore , the matter of Ding'an Palace has nothing to do with me."

Meng Fuling praised secretly, but she didn't know that Qi Xuan would say that.

In this way, the patriarch and the others must think that Qi Xuan was forced by Qi Youming to set up his own family, so they don't have to bear the name of unfilial piety.

After all, since ancient times, only fathers have abandoned sons. No matter how heartless the father is, he can't do anything as a son, let alone offer to set up his own family?
Sure enough, the patriarch and others condemned Qi Youming after hearing this.

"Qi Xuan, you rebellious son! How dare you slander your father!" Qi Youming didn't expect Qi Xuan to say that, he was so angry that he grabbed his chair and wanted to smash Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan looked at him coldly, neither dodging nor dodging, but he was still afraid of Qi Xuan's identity and dared not hit him.

But, here it goes!Needless to say, Qi Youming has been a villain enough, no matter how much he argues, the patriarch and others will not believe his words.

The patriarch was so angry that his gray beard was trembling, and he said to Qi Xuan: "Ah Xuan, I allow you to stand on your own, and you don't have to pay Qi Lin's debts. There is no such rule! If your father forces you again, even if he is Lord, I can still deal with him according to the family rules."
