The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.
Chapter 136 Using a borrowed knife to kill
Wei Yifeng felt incredibly frustrated.
He knew without even thinking that this whole thing was definitely orchestrated by Qi Zhiyu.
But the key issue is... he has no evidence!
"You really should learn from Consort De," Qi Zhiyu scoffed disdainfully.
"Even when Ms. Tian made a mistake, she didn't hold a grudge against Tang Jingrou!"
Wei Yifeng stared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu, his whole body tense, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
He wanted to kill Qi Zhiyu with a single sword strike if there was even the slightest chance.
"Mrs. Tian, please don't cause any more trouble for your daughter," Qi Zhiyu said to Mrs. Tian with a sigh.
"Did you rush out so recklessly that you wanted to kill her?"
"Or do you want your daughter to bail you out and take you to live with her so she can take care of you?"
Of course, Ms. Tian would not admit: "I just miss my child and want to see if she's alright."
"She is the Lady of the Marquis, and I am merely a sinner."
Madam Tian lowered her head and murmured softly, "As long as the Lady of the Marquis is well... I just... just came to take a look..."
Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly: "Mrs. Tian, don't talk nonsense in the future."
"There are no marquises here."
Tian suddenly looked up, staring at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief.
What does she mean?
"Wei Chengjiang is just a commoner now, not a marquis at all," Qi Zhiyu made it clear.
Seeing that Qi Zhiyu was serious and not joking at all, Tian quickly fixed her gaze on Wei Yifeng's face.
Rebut it!
Quickly refute Qi Zhiyu's words!
Unfortunately, Mr. Tian was disappointed.
Wei Yifeng remained silent, not uttering a single word.
Tian's body went limp; if someone hadn't been holding her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"No, no...didn't Feng'er earn his title through military achievements?" Madam Tian murmured.
Qi Zhiyu simply smiled in response to Tian's question.
She has no obligation to answer.
"Second brother, don't take Qi Jinghong's words to heart," Qi Zhiyu comforted Qi Jingxi.
"I didn't," Qi Jingxi scoffed. "I did my job honestly and have a clear conscience."
"He's ambitious, but all his relatives who are ambitious have had their homes raided."
"Exactly!" Qi Zhiyu nodded in agreement.
The brother and sister left chatting and laughing, while Qi Jinghong, who remained behind, had a face that was so dark it was unbearable to look at.
He gave Wei Yifeng a deep look, then turned and left.
Wei Yifeng felt incredibly wronged.
What does it have to do with him?
Besides, the reason the Tian family's matter was brought up was because Qi Jinghong stepped into the trap set by Qi Zhiyu first.
Wei Yifeng only thought it to himself; he dared not show it on his face.
Given their current situation, in the eyes of the King of Wu, their value has been greatly diminished, and they are now entirely dependent on the favor shown by Consort De.
If he shows any dissatisfaction again... it will only lead to the rapid decline of the Wei family.
Wei Yifeng turned back to his residence and told his father about what had happened.
Wei Chengjiang frowned deeply and gritted his teeth, cursing, "Damn Qi Zhiyu!"
He originally intended to divorce Tang Jingrou.
Now that Qi Zhiyu has said those words, letting everyone know that Consort De has been magnanimous enough to tolerate Tang Jingrou, wouldn't he be ruining his reputation if he were to divorce her?
Back then, when he used Tang Jingrou to restrain Prince Rui, he acted as if he and Tang Jingrou were deeply in love.
Qi Zhiyu shut him up completely.
Qi Zhiyu deliberately left Tang Jingrou in front of him to annoy him.
Tian Shiqian's past actions are a stain on his reputation, and they will inevitably affect his son's future endeavors.
Wei Chengjiang was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, while the King of Wu raised his hand and slapped Qi Jinghong hard across the face.
Qi Jinghong was knocked over by the blow and fell heavily to the ground.
"You piece of trash!" King Wu cursed.
"I sent you to the Ministry of Personnel and told you exactly how to deal with Qi Jingxi, how could you still fall for it?"
The King of Wu even suspected that his son was an idiot.
"I told you to persuade Qi Jingxi, to provoke his rebellious spirit, not to mock him!"
The King of Wu was so angry that his chest ached: "When you were studying, didn't you understand what it meant to offer advice and guidance?"
Ignoring his pain, Qi Jinghong hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and admitted his mistake: "Father, I..."
"What?!" King Wu roared.
"I told you long ago that Qi Zhiyu is no good. Everything she does has a hidden meaning."
"You knew she saw you at the Ministry of Personnel, yet you didn't take any precautions and jumped right into the trap she set!"
Where's your brain?
Qi Jinghong felt wronged. He knew something was wrong, but it all seemed too coincidental.
How could the King of Wu not see through his thoughts?
"You fool, do you think the Tian family would run away for no reason?" King Wu knew what was going on as soon as he heard this.
"Qi Zhiyu must have contacted Jingwenbo and deliberately let the Tian family know that Tang Jingrou had come out. Wei Yifeng even used his military achievements to get back the title of Marquis of Weiyuan."
"While deliberately revealing that Lord Jingwen intended to keep a close watch on Lady Tian, he subtly created an opportunity for her to escape."
"She has a chance to turn her life around, do you think she wouldn't go to Tang Jingrou?"
"But... but what's the point of Qi Zhiyu doing this?" Qi Jinghong didn't quite understand.
"Don't you understand?" King Wu felt as if his head was about to explode.
"Who has she been mentioning?" King Wu asked.
Qi Jinghong thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up, his face full of astonishment: "Qi Zhiyu, how dare she?"
"Why wouldn't she dare?" King Wu closed his eyes and exhaled heavily.
"She ruined the reputation of the Wu Prince's Mansion, and now she's targeting your grandmother."
"Your grandmother was in the inner palace and knew a lot about the concubines' families." King Wu felt utterly exhausted.
"If something happens to your grandmother, it will inevitably implicate the families of those concubines."
"At that time, I will become the target of those ministers' attacks."
Qi Jinghong didn't understand.
He didn't understand.
The bewilderment on his face infuriated the King of Wu.
Qi Zhiyu had already started planning and implementing the plan, but his son still hadn't understood.
The difference was so stark... it made him want to vomit blood.
"Is your head made of wood?" the King of Wu roared.
"What is a person's first reaction if they are in a crisis?" King Wu asked.
This time, Qi Jinghong understood and quickly replied, "Self-rescue."
"That's right." King Wu gritted his teeth. "Think about it, if your grandmother were driven to a dead end and her life was in danger, wouldn't she use something useful to save her own life?"
"What will those ministers who have something on your grandmother do?"
"Are you ready to be punished by your imperial grandfather after washing your neck, or do you want to strike first, ally with Prince Rui, and atone for your crimes through meritorious service?"
"But...but Grandmother might not tell anyone about them," Qi Jinghong said nervously.
King Wu chuckled coldly: "That's where Qi Zhiyu's brilliance lies. She accurately predicted that those ministers would never allow themselves to be in a passive and desperate situation, but would instead choose to take the initiative."
"By then, whether your grandmother speaks or not will be irrelevant; what matters is that they will use me as a pledge of allegiance to Prince Rui!"
All the interests he now shares with those people will eventually become sharp blades aimed at him, trying to take his life!
Qi Zhiyu, oh Qi Zhiyu, what a master of using someone else to do your dirty work!
What a brilliant, unavoidable, open conspiracy!
