The Prodigal Son

When Luo Qingyi came outside, the Luo father and daughter were kneeling at the door.

Upon seeing Luo Qingyi emerge, the father and daughter's expressions immediately became extremely unnatural.

What was Luo Qingyi's status in the Luo family?

They're practically the same as the servants in the manor!

They wouldn't even glance at Luo Qingyi!

But now, they are kneeling before Luo Qingyi.

This stark contrast was like stuffing a lump of shit into the mouths of the father and daughter.

The key point is that they were the ones who put Luo Qingyi in this position!

They put this pile of shit in their mouths themselves!

This made them even more upset!

Luo Jianshan forced a smile, suppressing his nausea. "Qingyi, where's Thirteenth Young Master?"

"Young Master Thirteen is too lazy to see you."

Luo Qingyi smiled at the father and daughter, "Thirteenth Young Master said he won't let you off! Leave the task of beating a drowning dog to me!"

Hearing Luo Qingyi's words, the father and daughter felt a sharp pang in their hearts.

Qin Yu doesn't even want to see them?

When did Qin Yu become so heartless?

Luo Jianshan glanced inside the door, then pleaded with a tearful face, "Qingyi, your second uncle is so sorry! Your second uncle knows he was wrong! Please, for the sake of us being family, please plead for us!"

"Don't!"

Luo Qingyi shook her head. "Don't mention anything about being family to me, it disgusts me!"

Now you know you're family?

Why didn't you think of that when you bullied yourself and didn't treat yourself like a human being?

"In blue!"

Luo Jianshan wailed, "No matter what, you still have the blood of the Luo family flowing in your veins! Are you really going to just stand by and watch the efforts of generations of our Luo family turn to ashes?"

"No, no!"

Luo Qingyi shook her head and smiled, "I'll just move a recliner over and read it slowly!"

"you……"

Luo Jianshan's face stiffened, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Luo Qingyuan raised her head, gritting her teeth and growling, "Luo Qingyi, you are ungrateful! If we hadn't given you a chance, you wouldn't even deserve to stand here!"

"No, I fought for it myself!"

Luo Qingyi shook her head indifferently, "However, I do have to thank you for your stupidity! Otherwise, I really wouldn't have this opportunity to stand here and watch you make a fool of yourselves."

"Don't get too cocky!"

Luo Qingyuan was furious. "You're nothing but a substitute for me! I believe Thirteen still has feelings for me, and he'll come back to me sooner or later!"

Luo Qingyi was stunned upon hearing this, then burst out laughing.

She genuinely didn't know where Luo Qingyuan's inexplicable confidence came from.

"It's okay to be stupid, what's scary is not having self-awareness."

Luo Qingyi looked at her cousin with a mocking expression. "The Thirteenth Young Master asked me to pass on a few words to you! Admire the strong without striving for them, be parasitic without coexisting, be mediocre without realizing it, be mature in the face of interests, and naive in the face of responsibility..."

Qin Yu's words were piercing to the heart.

Filled with grief and resentment, Luo Qingyuan, ignoring any pleasantries with Luo Qingyi, shouted into the mansion, "Thirteenth! Thirteenth! It's me, Qingyuan!"

"Nothing happened between me and Lü Si. I know I was wrong!"

"Please come out and see me, Thirteen..."

Luo Qingyuan screamed at the top of her lungs, squeezing out a few tears.

Luo Qingyi didn't stop her, and just watched her perform quietly.

Just as Luo Qingyuan was desperately crying and screaming, Qi Dachui walked out, wielding his golden mace, and said, "The Thirteenth Young Master said that anyone who dares to make a sound will be beaten to death!"

Luo Qingyuan's cries came to an abrupt halt.

If someone else had said those words, she would have dismissed them with disdain.

But the person in front of me is Qi Dachui!

Qi Dachui is a bit dim-witted; he does whatever Qin Yu tells him to do.

If she dares to yell again, Qi Dachui will really beat her to death!

"If you want to kneel, then kneel!"

Luo Qingyi glanced at the father and daughter with a mocking look. "I suddenly feel that looking at you two in such a sorry state is rather boring! I'd better go massage Thirteen Young Master's legs instead!"

After saying that, Luo Qingyi turned and walked back without looking back.

Watching Luo Qingyi's retreating figure, the father and daughter's eyes burned with intense hatred, and they cursed her inwardly.

You bitch!

What a despicable person who bullies others by relying on their master's power!

If it weren't for the Qin family, Luo Qingyi could still stand arrogantly in front of them.

Qi Dachui gave the two a warning look and then left.

Seeing that Qin Yu showed no sign of backing down, the father and daughter hesitated for a moment before getting up and leaving.

"Dad, what do we do now?"

Luo Qingyuan looked at her father in a panic, her heart gradually filled with despair.

"Go to the Lü family!"

Luo Jianshan gritted his teeth and growled, "We've gotten ourselves into this mess because of Lü Si! If the Lü family doesn't take responsibility, we'll make them infamous throughout the capital!"

Speaking of Lü Si, Luo Jianshan couldn't help but feel a burning hatred.

It's all because of that damned beast!

I've been shrewd my whole life, how could I have listened to this beast's nonsense!

Filled with endless hatred for Lü Si, the father and daughter rushed to the Lü family.

However, the two were stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as they arrived at the Lü family's gate.

"Lu Si, come out here!"

"You've caused us so much trouble, you have to give us an explanation!"

"Lu Si..."

The father and daughter were filled with grief and indignation, and stood at the entrance of the Lü family's house, shouting their hearts out.

Just as the father and daughter were shouting enthusiastically, a group of servants wielding sticks rushed out of the Lü family's house.

Without a word, the servants rushed forward and began to beat the father and daughter with sticks.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"

"Let's go!"

"what……"

The father and daughter screamed in pain as they were beaten and fled in a panic.

……

As dusk approached, Qin Fumeng, who had been busy all day, finally returned home.

Upon learning that the Luo family father and daughter had come to his residence to beg for mercy, Qin Fumeng remained completely unmoved.

Only now do you think of begging for mercy?

Why didn't you do this sooner!

It's also because I've calmed down a bit in the past few years.

If this had happened in the past, when they went to the Qin family to break off the engagement, he would have killed the father and daughter on the spot!

Soon, Qin Yu came over and told him about what happened at the Sifang Pavilion that day.

"So, Murong Dapan's congenital meridian deficiency was cured?"

Qin Fu stroked his chin, and hope suddenly ignited in his eyes.

If Murong Dapan could be cured, then his own grandson can definitely be cured too!

"Definitely!"

Qin Yu nodded slightly, then asked, "Do you know the purpose of Bei Qi's mission this time?"

Qin Fu took a big gulp of tea and replied, "I heard from Old Song that Bei Qi came for half of the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant!"

"Nine Dragon Pendant? What is that?" Qin Yu asked curiously.

"nonsense!"

Qin Fumeng's eyes widened. "It's called Nine Dragons Pendant. If it's not a jade pendant, is it some kind of belt?"

"I……"

Qin Yu's face darkened. "I mean, what's so special about this Nine Dragons Pendant that it's worth sending an envoy from Northern Qi just for a jade pendant!"

Who does he/she think he/she is!

I had no idea this was a jade pendant!

"It is said to be an accessory that Murong Dapan wore with him during his lifetime, equivalent to our Imperial Seal of the State."

Qin Fu smacked his lips. "As for the specifics, this old man doesn't know! Not even Old Song knows! If you want to know, ask His Majesty! Don't bother this old man!"

As he spoke, Qin Fumeng waved his hand impatiently again.

He was exhausted after a long day at the Ministry of War and just wanted some peace and quiet.

Got it!

Just because I'm not dead doesn't mean I can't love anymore!

Qin Yu glared at the old man with displeasure and left in a huff.

Looking at Qin Yu's retreating figure, a strange light flashed in Qin Fumeng's eyes.

Why is this kid suddenly so eager to cure his congenital intestinal paralysis?

Could it be that he's actually trying to make an effort?
