Chapter 177 Who Is Being Taken For?

After hearing this, Qi Youming's expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "Second Uncle, I respect you as the patriarch and my Second Uncle, so you have to be patient. How can you not distinguish right from wrong and only favor Qi Xuan?"

But Qi Youming's questioning made the patriarch even more angry, making the patriarch feel that Qi Youming didn't take him seriously.

The patriarch was about to reprimand Qi Youming angrily, when Qi Xuan said, "Second Uncle, I will give him the money as a last act of filial piety. As for how he wants to use the money to repay Qi Lin's debt, that is his business."

"No way! You have been on expeditions all year round, and you are an upright person, how could you get 30 taels of silver?" The patriarch shook his head, unwilling to let Qi Xuan be taken advantage of.

In fact, hearing what the patriarch said, Meng Fuling was also a little worried, after all, she didn't know Qi Xuan's plan.

She also thought of the fact that he went to a brothel in Qishan County, but had no money to pay the bill. Besides, she had never seen him spend a lot of money. Maybe he had the name of a great general, but he didn't have much money?
Qi Xuan didn't know that Meng Fuling thought he was a poor general, so he said, "Second Uncle, I really don't have that much money, so I can only borrow some from my colleagues."

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he did, Meng Fuling became even more worried. The patriarch directly pointed at Qi Youming with his crutches, and said several times: "What a crime!"

Qi Youming also believed it to be true, but he was angry that why didn't Qi Xuan steal the money secretly, what did he say?In short, he believed that Qi Xuan was intentionally trying to block him.

"Please trouble my second uncle to testify for me." A smile flashed across Qi Xuan's eyes, he said.

The patriarch and the others still wanted to persuade Qi Xuan, but seeing Qi Xuan's resolute face, but no resentment at all, they guessed that he must have had a cold heart for Qi Youming.

So, the patriarch sighed and said, "Forget it, since you agree, Ah Xuan, I won't say more, just write the document with a pen and paper! Qi Youming, from now on, you have nothing to do with Ah Xuan, so don't harass Ah Xuan any more."

"Second uncle, how can you say that? It's clear that he is determined to sever ties with me, and I still feel sad! Forget it, it would be better if we don't see each other in the future." Qi Youming was about to write a document, but when he heard the patriarch's words, he was still out of breath , couldn't help but speak out to justify.

"Stubborn!" The patriarch snorted coldly, too lazy to answer Qi Youming's words.

Qi Youming glared at Qi Xuan fiercely before continuing to write the document, just as he was about to finish it.

Qi Xuan stepped forward and glanced twice, and said coldly: "One more thing, since you leave the house, you have nothing to do with it, weddings and funerals, it's easy for you to respect yourself."

"Nizi, you will regret it in the future!" Qi Youming said angrily, but he still added this sentence after all.

In the end, Qi Youming signed his name again.

The patriarch took the document, read it carefully, and signed it when he felt that there was no problem.

After signing, the patriarch handed the document to Qi Xuan and said, "Ah Xuan, although you are in a high position, it is really rare that you value love and righteousness so much! It's a pity—"

When the patriarch said it was a pity, he gave Qi Youming a cold look, and then continued: "It's a pity that someone was deceived by lard!"

Qi Xuan didn't answer, but only returned with a bitter smile.

The patriarch sighed again, and led a few elders, shaking their heads, and walked towards the door.

As soon as the patriarch and others left, Qi Youming grabbed Qi Xuan's sleeve, "You have also got the paperwork for the separation of the family, so quickly bring 30 taels of silver."

"Yes! Hurry up and bring the money!" Qi Lin also said anxiously.

Qi Xuan patted Qi Youming's hand away in disgust, and said indifferently: "Wait slowly! I can't afford 30 taels for a while."

"Then hurry up and collect money! There are so many people outside waiting for money." Qi Youming urged impatiently, and he asked the housekeeper to tell those debt collectors to come into the house and wait for Qi Xuan to bring the money.

"I'll pick it up at the General's Mansion tomorrow, remember to bring the receipt!" Qi Xuan sneered, then led Meng Fuling towards the door.

"What did you say, you have to wait until tomorrow?" Qi Youming's voice suddenly rose to a higher level.

"King Ding'an, do you think it doesn't take time to collect money? When everyone is like you, you can get it by persecution and robbing?" Meng Fuling turned her head and said sarcastically.

"You rough village girl, don't—" The person Qi Youming hates the most right now is not Qi Xuan, but Meng Fuling. Her words are thorny, which makes him very angry.

Meng Fuling sneered and interrupted Qi Youming, "King Ding'an, please be careful! You should know who you are scolding if you scold me."

Yue Shaoqing has made her identity known to the public, and the Queen Mother even recognized her as a niece in Yizhi.After all, she is also a relative of the emperor, so if Qi Youming calls her a rough village girl, it is disrespectful to the royal family.

Meng Fuling disdains being a member of the royal family, let alone having an aunt like the Queen Mother. When Qi Youming compared her with Luo Yao earlier, she didn't use it to block his words.

Now he just wanted to get angry at him again, but sure enough, he blushed because of her words, pointed at her, and couldn't say a word.

Meng Fuling and Qi Xuanlai had to pay no attention to them and walked out the door.

As soon as she got into the sedan chair, Meng Fuling held back her words for a long time, and finally asked, "Are you really going to contribute money to them?"

If Qi Xuan really wants to contribute money to Qi Youming and the others, Meng Fu will definitely feel pain.

Qi Xuan scratched Meng Fuling's nose with his hands in a funny way, "Do you think I will take advantage of them so much?"

Meng Fuling shook her head, this is not like Qi Xuan's style, does he have any other tricks?Thinking of this, her eyes brightened.

She took his hand and asked, "Say it! What are you going to do next?"

"Give them money!" Qi Xuan hugged her on his lap, put his hands around her slender waist, and put his forehead against hers, and smiled lowly.

"After all, it's better to give them the money. Is it possible that after giving it, someone will grab it back?" Meng Fuling said casually.

No, Qi Xuan laughed loudly, "Fu Ling, could it be that you are the roundworm in my stomach? You guessed it right."

"Go! You are the roundworm, this method is too clichéd! Can you come up with something new?" Meng Fuling raised her fist and beat him on the chest.

After a pause, she asked again: "Tell me about your plan quickly, and don't let it go."

Qi Xuan didn't intend to keep it any longer, and told Meng Fuling exactly what his plan was.

It turned out that he had been planning since he entered Beijing, and wanted to leave Ding'an Palace, but he didn't want to lose his tongue.Therefore, he set his sights on Qi Lin.

He first ordered people to let the children of the aristocratic families who often spend time with Qi Lin encourage Qi Lin to gamble, and the gambling house also made a move.

After that, they found someone to pretend to be an eminent monk who had returned from wandering, and tricked Qi Lin into buying ancient scriptures by borrowing money everywhere.

"The children of those aristocratic families won't leak you out, right?" Meng Fuling felt a little silly after asking this sentence.

There is no need for Qi Xuan to do these things himself, let alone let those people know that he ordered them, he has plenty of ways.

Sure enough, Qi Xuan pinched her nose, "Don't worry about me doing things?"

"Don't worry, why don't you worry? Seriously, do you really want to borrow money from someone?" Meng Fuling pushed his hand away.

"Don't you think I'm poor?" Qi Xuan couldn't help laughing, and finally realized what she was thinking.

"Otherwise, do you really have 30 taels of silver?" Meng Fuling asked back, and before he could speak, she jokingly said, "How about I lend it to you? Just pay it back with your body."

"My body has been yours for a long time, how can I pay it back?" Qi Xuan lowered his head and bit her tender ear, Fang continued: "The emperor's reward alone is more than 30 taels. When they entered the enemy's lair, they confiscated a lot of gold and silver treasures."

As he spoke, Qi Xuan leaned into her ear and said an amount.

When Meng Fuling heard this, her eyes widened in shock.

"What? Are you scared?" Qi Xuan liked her reaction very much, and thought it was very cute.

Meng Fuling was stunned for a long time before saying, "I never expected you to be so rich, I really can't tell."

"I belong to you, and all the belongings are also yours. In the future, my salary will also be handed over to you, okay?" Qi Xuan said dotingly.

"You said this, you can't go back on your word." Meng Fuling's heart was sweeter than eating honey.

"Never regret it!" Qi Xuan said, his starry eyes filled with strong love.

Meng Fuling couldn't help kissing his eyes, and Fang asked: "That's right! What about the ancient scriptures? Are they fake?"

Qi Xuan didn't answer directly, but said: "Aren't they planning to dedicate the scriptures to the Queen Mother? Just wait and see the good show."

******
The next day, Qi Youming sent his cronies to the general's mansion to collect the money and brought the receipt with him.

It didn't take long for Qi Xuan's departure from Prince Ding'an's mansion to spread widely.

Everyone knew that Qi Youming forced Qi Xuan to collect 30 taels of silver to pay off Qi Lin's debt.

However, Qi Xuan cared about his father-son relationship, so he collected money everywhere to pay off Qi Lin's debts.

Anyway, what is passed on is generally the same as what Meng Fuling said to the patriarch and others in Ding'an Palace at that time.

Among them, not only Qi Xuan ordered people to spread out secretly, the patriarch and others could not understand Qi Youming's actions, they told their close friends, and their friends told other people.

Anyway, it's just one pass to ten, ten to one hundred... Qi Youming and Qi Lin were notorious and became the people who were scolded by the world.

It's not that no one thinks it's wrong for Qi Xuan to set up his own family, they all think that he is too affectionate, he was originally highly regarded by the people, now, he is even more praised by the people.

But no one knew that the person Qi Youming sent to collect the money was robbed on the way before he returned to Ding'an Palace.

Even if Qi Youming believed that Qi Xuan did it, there is no evidence, and he was robbed after leaving the general's mansion, so there is no reason to go to Qi Xuan to ask for an explanation.

The 30 silver is gone, but the debt collector is still there, but Qi Youming and his son are so angry that they vomit blood and their eyes turn red.

"Father, what do you think should be done?" Qi Lin asked anxiously, his mouth was so anxious that blisters formed.

"Are you asking me, who am I asking? Damn Qi Xuan, how dare you treat me like this!" Qi Youming gritted his teeth, and as soon as Qi Xuan's name was mentioned, his eyes burst into fierce anger.

"Father, why don't we dedicate the ancient scriptures to the Empress Dowager first, she will definitely reward us generously." Qi Lin couldn't think of a better way, so he had to suggest.
