Chapter Eighty-Three: The Past

"What does Mother mean by sending Mama Zhao to Liu's family?"

Ignoring the anger on Qi Xun's face, the Duchess gracefully pruned the branches and leaves on the potted plants, and said lightly: "That girl is not worthy of you, if it weren't for your father, my mother would not agree, and Su Ya's girl is your future wife." โ€

Qi Xun laughed angrily, "My mother is wrong, I married her not because of my father, but because I like her, so in the future, my mother will not interfere in her affairs, and Mama Zhao I have asked Zhao Ming to send her back." โ€

The movements in the hands of the Duchess of Guo paused, and her eyes stared at Qi Xun's face with anger.

"What do you say, you like her, a lowly, undignified daughter of a businessman, and she can't help you at all, such a good-for-nothing woman, you still like it, hum!" the Duchess sneered sarcastically, and said, "Qi Xun, have you forgotten your oath? Do you want your mother to remind you." โ€

Qi Xun's eyes darkened, looked back at the eyes of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and said solemnly: "The child has not forgotten." โ€

"It's good that you haven't forgotten. The Duchess retracted her gaze and picked up the scissors again to trim the potted plants.

"Mother, the child has been following your arrangement since he was a child, and he has never asked you for anything, today the child begs you, Liu Rong's matter, mother don't interfere. โ€

Qi Xun looked at the back of the Duchess of Wangguo, and without waiting for her to answer, he turned around and left the main courtyard.

The Duchess of Guo did not wait until the footsteps were far away, and fiercely cut off the branches and leaves of a perfect potted plant, and suddenly the bonsai had no value of appreciation.

Mama Sun let out a heartbroken "oops".

"Madam, this spring orchid is very precious, and Madame's hand is too heavy. โ€

The Duchess of Guo threw down the scissors irritably, and did not look at the precious spring orchid in Grandma Sun's mouth.

"Lose it, look at it and be upset. โ€

Mama Sun was in pain, and she was reluctant to say: "Madame doesn't like it, it's better to give it to the slave." โ€

Mrs. Guo was in a bad mood, but when she saw the distress and love in Grandma Sun's eyes, her heart softened.

"If you like it, take it, I'll go and see Guogong, I don't need you to serve, go down." โ€

Mama Sun was overjoyed in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie." โ€

Mama Zhao came to Liu's house for less than a day, and was sent back by Zhao Ming.

Without the annoying people dangling in front of her, Liu Rong was naturally in a good mood, she practiced calligraphy for a long time, moved her muscles and bones, and accidentally saw an unopened letter, Liu Rong remembered.

There was no signature on the envelope, Liu Rong didn't know who it was, and hesitated for a moment before opening it to see.

The content of the letter made Liu Rong's mood that she had finally gotten better ruined, and she tore up the letter in anger.

For the day of marriage tomorrow, I have no hope in my heart, I am apprehensive and shy, but I feel ridiculous.

Zhao Xue pushed open the door and saw the confetti on the ground, so she guessed that Liu Rong was in a bad mood, carefully put down the things in her hand, and silently withdrew from the room.

As soon as he turned around, he almost touched the body of the person who came, and he hurriedly took a step back to see who the person was coming.

"Lord, the slave and maid have seen the Lord. โ€

Qi Xun raised his hand and motioned for her to get up.

"Miss Liu is inside?"

Zhao Xue blessed her body and said, "The girl is inside, it's just ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"Just what?"

Zhao Xue raised her head slightly and glanced at Qi Xun, "The girl is in a bad mood." โ€

Qi Xun frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to push the door, but was stopped by Zhao Xue.

"Lord, according to the rules, the Lord and the girl cannot meet until they get married. โ€

Qi Xun looked at Zhao Xue calmly, and he saw her in his heart, and he had the urge to sweat on a cold day.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and silently stepped aside.

Seeing that Zhao Xue knew each other, Qi Xun was no longer embarrassed for her, pushed open the door by himself, and saw Liu Rong in a daze by the window.

"I heard Zhao Xue say, you are in a bad mood, which person who is not long-eyed makes you angry. โ€

Liu Rong was stunned, turned her head to look at the sound, and hurriedly stood up.

"You, why are you here?"

Qi Xun smiled slightly, "I missed you, so I came to see you, come here." โ€

Liu Rong's face turned red, and she did not sit obediently beside him.

"I'm going to stand here. โ€

Qi Xun was dissatisfied, but he didn't force it.

"What my mother asked Mama Zhao to pass on, I know, I will deal with it on my mother's side, Rong'er, don't be angry. โ€

Liu Rong's body was shocked, she looked up at Qi Xun's eyes, and said seriously: "Brother Huaiyuan, you married me because I can give your father joy?" โ€

"No", Qi Xun stepped forward, hugged Liu Rong in his arms, and explained: "The so-called Chongxi is what I asked Master Huizhi to release to the outside world, otherwise, how can I refuse Emperor Chu's marriage and marry you justifiably." โ€

Liu Rong's eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth opened unconsciously, and Qi Xun couldn't cry or laugh when she saw her stupid appearance.

"You took advantage of your father's illness and deceived everyone, just to be with me. โ€

Qi Xun's expression darkened, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms around Liu Rong, and buried his head in her shoulder.

With a wry smile: "Rong'er, do you know why my father was paralyzed in bed for ten years?"

Regarding the rumors of Jiang Yuanguogong, Liu Rong heard some of them, and reached out to hug Qi back.

"I heard my father say that ten years ago, Jiang Yuan Guogong led his troops to quell the rebellion of the Three Kings, and returned with a great victory, on the way back to Beijing to restore his life, the horse went crazy, Guogong accidentally fell to the ground, was trampled by the horse's hooves and broke his backbone, and then he was paralyzed in bed. โ€

Qi Xun's eyes, which had his back to Liu Rong, burst out with hatred.

"Junshan has been with my father for ten years, and he is the most intimate to my father, and he is the most obedient to his father, but he went crazy on the day he arrived in the capital, which made the general next to my father suspicious, and after a check, he found that Junshan was poisoned, and the person who poisoned him had been executed.

Although they did it secretly, we still found clues, but I was still young and had no ability to avenge my father, so I had to endure it.

Because his father was injured, the emperor at that time detained his father in the palace for medical treatment, and his mother was worried about his father, so he begged the empress dowager to let her take her father back to Nandu.

With my father taking care of my mother, I have recovered well in a year, and I can occasionally turn over, and with the help of others, I can get out of bed and walk two steps, which makes us very happy.

But eight years ago, my father collapsed, and since that day, he has never gotten up, and the doctor has not found the cause of the disease.

Sure enough, we found an old miracle doctor, who told us that my father was poisoned, and he didn't know what the poison was, because he didn't know the toxicity and couldn't detoxify it. โ€

Liu Rong exclaimed, knowing that Qi Xun was telling her a top-secret matter, and the dissatisfied look on Qi Xun just now changed to distress.

"Can you find out who it is?"
