He's a military general!

Marquis Weiyuan was unconvinced, realizing he must have underestimated his opponent.

Marquis Weiyuan struggled with all his might... but couldn't break free!

Marquis Weiyuan was greatly alarmed.

How could this happen?

Qi Zhiyu didn't care what he thought and grabbed him, pulling him outside.

"Princess, what are you doing? Let me go!" Marquis Weiyuan was filled with shock and anger, and a bad premonition surged into his heart like a tide.

"What for?" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "Naturally, to let everyone see just how powerful Marquis Weiyuan is."

"Using one's own wife to exchange for benefits, what a good deal!"

Marquis Weiyuan disregarded the issue of avoiding impropriety between men and women and reached out to grab Qi Zhiyu's wrist.

Unfortunately, before he could even make a move, Qi Zhiyu raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

Marquis Weiyuan's face was slapped hard to one side, and his vision went black for a while.

Qi Jingxi, who was following behind, stared in shock, her admiration for him instantly soaring.

It has to be his sister!

Great!

That's amazing!

"Open the door!" Qi Zhiyu dragged Marquis Weiyuan to the front door.

At her command, the servant was about to open the door.

"Wait!" Marquis Weiyuan cried out in alarm.

If he's dragged out like this, what will become of his reputation?

To his surprise, the servant of Prince Rui's mansion completely ignored his words and continued to open the door.

Marquis Weiyuan's mind went blank for a moment, then he roared, "I agree!"

Qi Zhiyu finally spoke: "Wait a minute."

The servant who opened the door stopped.

Qi Zhiyu released her grip, looking at Marquis Weiyuan with a half-smile: "Marquis Weiyuan, you'd better keep your word, or else... don't blame me for being impolite."

Marquis Weiyuan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "Fine!"

After saying that, he quickly straightened his rumpled collar and strode away.

He didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.

His entourage also put down the gifts and slunk away quickly.

Qi Jingxi excitedly jumped up in front of Qi Zhiyu, giving her two thumbs-up at the same time: "Sis, you're amazing!"

"That felt great! That felt so good!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen Marquis Weiyuan suffer such a setback!"

Qi Zhiyu scoffed disdainfully, "Second brother, you spoil them too much."

Qi Jingxi sighed, "It's not that we spoil them, it's Dad..."

"Father doesn't like to talk, and you didn't ask, so there was a misunderstanding." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly.

Through her remnant soul in other worlds, she knew a word that could describe her father's condition—love-obsessed.

Of course, in the world that uses this term, there is no method of cultivation.

In her view, it was simply a matter of luck.

Easy to solve.

She not only had to solve this problem, but also protect her father's reputation, after all... her father genuinely cared for her.

"What misunderstanding?" Qi Jingxi asked, puzzled.

Qi Zhiyu looked around and then waved to Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi immediately leaned over and listened to his sister whisper a few words to him.

"What?" Qi Jingxi exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Qi Zhiyu nodded solemnly: "I think Father has probably already asked someone to investigate Mother's situation back in her parents' home."

Qi Jingxi asked, puzzled, "If Father is only nice to Tang Jingrou because of Mother, why doesn't Father say so?"

"What do you think Dad, that taciturn man, would say?" Qi Zhiyu shrugged.

Qi Jingxi thought about it seriously and nodded in agreement: "Father really doesn't like to talk."

"That's right, so... some things are just misunderstandings..." Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Fortunately, her father doesn't like to talk about it, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to cover it up.

Fortunately, her father's heart was still with her mother.

Her father was affected by fate, but his family and the country were his bottom line.

Otherwise... she wouldn't have gone to all this trouble to do these things.

"Sister, do you think Marquis Weiyuan will do as you say?" Qi Jingxi didn't quite believe Marquis Weiyuan.

What's wrong with agreeing first and then going back on your word?

Marquis Weiyuan is just that shameless!

"Has the Marquis of Weiyuan's arrogance towards our Prince Rui's Mansion been going on for just a day or two?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Qi Jingxi shook her head.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Qi Zhiyu asked again.

Qi Jingxi felt incredibly indignant and embarrassed: "I know."

"That settles it then." Qi Zhiyu spread her hands. "If he doesn't do as I say, I'll go to my grandfather."

"Would the Emperor's grandfather care?" Qi Jingxi was very skeptical.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and patted her brother's shoulder: "Grandfather loves our father very much."

"Then before..." Qi Jingxi didn't understand.

Qi Zhiyu sighed helplessly: "Didn't our father spoil us before?"

"Grandfather was both angry and heartbroken, which is why he didn't care."

It was only after she learned about her father's situation that she understood why her grandfather treated him that way.

"Really?" Qi Jingxi was still unsure.

"Whether it is or not, we can just wait and see," Qi Zhiyu laughed.

"Anyway, if he doesn't do what I say, I'll spread the word that he sold his wife for personal gain."

"Over the years, everyone in the capital has seen how 'obsessed' our father is with that Tang Jingrou."

"Aren't those all witnesses?"

Qi Jingxi was shocked.

He never imagined that what he once considered humiliating would turn into a sharp blade, piercing back into the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.

Qi Jingxi laughed heartily: "Sis, it's always you!"

How come his sister is so smart?

Qi Zhiyu curled her lips into a smile.

It's just basic operation.

Qi Zhiyu went back to her own courtyard to rest, and Qi Jingxi immediately ran to find her older brother and told him everything that had just happened.

"My sister is amazing!" Qi Jingxi exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with admiration for his sister.

"My sister certainly has some tricks up her sleeve," Qi Jingchen remarked.

"Right? Right?" Qi Jingxi exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly. "Those rumors and gossip have now become sharp weapons against the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion! It's so satisfying!"

"That's not what I meant," Qi Jingchen shook his head.

"Huh?" Qi Jingxi didn't understand.

Qi Jingchen said, "Haven't you noticed that our father hasn't shown up yet?"

Qi Jingxi then realized, "That's right."

"If anyone from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion had come before, Father would have rushed out immediately."

Qi Jingchen suddenly thought of something: "Go see Dad."

"Okay!" Qi Jingxi immediately pushed her older brother and walked towards their father's courtyard.

"Father, Father..." Qi Jingxi called out twice outside the study, but no one answered.

He looked at the servant boy standing nearby: "My father isn't here?"

"Yes, he's here." The servant was also confused. "The prince went into his study and hasn't come out yet."

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi exchanged a glance, their expressions changing drastically.

Qi Jingxi rushed in immediately, and Qi Jingchen also had his servant push him in to follow her in quickly.

"Father!" Qi Jingxi looked at her father, who was sitting upright in the chair, with a puzzled expression. "Father, we've called you so many times, why don't you answer?"

Prince Rui remained silent.

"Dad, are you alright?" Qi Jingchen asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing," Prince Rui said calmly.

"Father, do you know that Marquis Weiyuan just came?" Qi Jingxi asked tentatively.

"Hmm." Prince Rui's indifferent attitude delighted Qi Jingxi.

What his sister said is true!

They really misunderstood his father!
