Chapter 29: Divorce (2)

"Ahem! Cough...... Miss Lin, please speak. โ€

"May I ask when did Qi Shizi know about this marriage contract?"

"Recently."

"Okay," Lin Ruowei nodded, and said, "I pride myself on being from a famous family, and my literary and beautiful looks are all first-class, is there anything that is not worthy of Qi Shizi?" โ€

"Definitely," Qi Shan coughed and said in a dumb voice, "Feelings have nothing to do with literary appearance, it's just fate." โ€

"That's right," Lin Ruowei thought for a while and seconded, "It's true that feelings can't be measured by external literary talent, it's my shortsightedness." However, Qi Shizi wants to withdraw from the marriage, is it because he has someone he likes? โ€

She saw Qi Shan nodded, but stopped asking no more, and only said, "But if this marriage contract can't be broken today, how will Qi Shizi deal with himself?" โ€

Qi Shan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said without hesitation, "If he can't do it today, he can always succeed in the future, in short, I will never fail her." โ€

"Poofโ€”"

Hearing this, Lin Ruowei couldn't help laughing, she looked at him with great appreciation, and walked towards the door with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Okay!" I agreed to withdraw from this marriage. โ€

Qi Shan was stunned, and asked at the moment when she was about to go out, "Why?" โ€

Lin Ruowei stood at the door, turned around against the light and smiled, and said, "After asking you these words, I know that you are not a person who likes the new and hates the old and retreats, and I also know that your heart is like a rock that I can't force me." Why, then, did not fulfill you? Perhaps, this is also an opportunity for me to fulfill myself? Oh yes! You can fight back! โ€

She showed an extremely good-looking smile, pointed to Qi Shan's scars, and said with a radiant expression, "You don't have to feel that you owe me, you owe the Lin Mansion." I'm the best woman in Kyoto! Wouldn't I be able to marry without you? โ€

"No ......"

"It's good to know!" Lin Ruowei smiled heartily and said, "Treat that girl well!" If one day you lose her, I will not give up! โ€

After that, she turned around and walked out of the door to Lin Qihan, who had been waiting outside the door, put down her skirt and saluted, and said softly, "Father, get out of the marriage." โ€

"What?" Lin Jie said sharply, "He even dared to withdraw from the marriage!" See if I don't ......."

"Big brother!" Lin Ruowei hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "It's not him, it's me!" I'm willing to return! โ€

She looked at Lin Qihan and slowly explained, "I heard my mother say that this family affair was privately decided between Mrs. Qi and her mother back then, and it was impossible to do it at all. Besides, Qi Shizi and I have never seen each other since childhood, and now we are even more like living people, where can we be husband and wife? โ€

After a pause, she continued, "I know that my father and eldest brother are not angry that I was divorced, but even if I am divorced, so what? If the father is willing, he will immediately post a list of sons-in-law outside the house, and the daughter believes that it will be overcrowded in less than a moment! โ€

"You ......"

Lin Qihan let out a long sigh, he didn't know in his heart that this was Lin Ruowei deliberately comforting him, but he couldn't really treat Qi Shan in the end, and now he could only admit it, so he grabbed the impulsive eldest son and said to Lin Ruowei, "Good boy, don't worry, in the future, my father will definitely find you a better family!" โ€

After that, he raised his hand and instructed his subordinates, "Send Qi Shizi out of the house!" โ€

When Qi Yan received the news and hurried from the barracks to Shangshu Mansion, he saw that his grandson was weak, and he was sent out with a smirk and was supported by the people of Lin Mansion.

He hurriedly dismounted, ran to him in two steps, stretched out his hand to take Qi Shan from the hands of the people of the Lin Mansion, and said anxiously, "Shan'er! Shan'er ...... What's going on? โ€

Qi Shan looked up at him with great effort, and continued to smirk, "Good thing! The divorce is done! โ€

"What?" Qi Yan was even more surprised, and he hurriedly said, "You went to the door to withdraw from the marriage in person?" They didn't kill you? โ€

"Hit...... Not dead. โ€

Qi Shan waved his hand and said in a daze, "Grandfather, go back to the house quickly...... If you don't heal, you'll really die......"

Hearing this, Qi Yan nodded, and took him away with a puff of smoke.

Who knew that in the evening, there was a decree from the palace, and it was stated that as long as Qi Shan entered the palace alone, although Qi Yan felt sorry for Qi Shan, he could only agree, and after he left, he personally brought gifts to the Lin Mansion to make amends.

The palace city at night is more secluded than the day, Qi Shan arrived at Wutong Palace, but saw that there was more than one queen in the house, and Mrs. Lin was sitting with her head bowed and weeping.

He limped in slowly, knelt down and bowed in pain, and said, "The minister greets the queen, is the queen okay?" โ€

As soon as he entered the house, the queen saw that he was unable to move, and vaguely saw that he also had scars on his face, so she was worried at the moment, and considering that Mrs. Lin was here, she had to say with a straight face, "Okay?" If you cause a great disaster, how can this palace be safe! โ€

She said sharply, "Miss Lin has a gentle temperament and is as beautiful as a fairy, no matter how many people ask for this marriage, they can't ask for it!" Do you still dare to be picky? Come! The palace rules are waiting! โ€

The marriage contract between Qi Shan and Lin Ruowei is only a verbal agreement, and others don't know about it, so there are no longer a few people who have come to propose marriage over the years, but the Lin family politely refused in the name of Lin Ruowei and her youth. These queens have always been in their eyes, and now Qi Shan personally came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, making the queen feel more guilty about the Lin family, and had to personally punish Qi Shan for being angry with the Lin family.

The waiter who had been waiting outside the door for a long time immediately entered the house, lifted Qi Shan to the middle of the courtyard and pressed him on a wide stool, and set up the board left and right.

Although the queen didn't say how much she wanted to fight, the palace punishment has always started with thirty boards, but the two chamberlains were only worthy of ten boards, and they saw that Qi Shan's back was slowly soaked with blood!

The two looked at each other and hurriedly stopped, rushed into the house and said back to the queen, "Queen Qi, Qi Shizi's back is bleeding......"

"Bleeding?" The queen slapped the table and got up and said, "What's the matter! โ€

After she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it, secretly glanced at Mrs. Lin, and saw that she was really a little dissatisfied, so she hurriedly sat back in her chair, and said coldly with worry, "What about bleeding?" Continue ......"

"Forget it," Mrs. Lin persuaded, "After all, Qi Shizi is a brave general appointed by the emperor himself, where can he really hurt him?" What if tomorrow's patrol is delayed? โ€

She wiped the corners of her eyes and continued to choke up, "Let's suffer some grievances!" Who told her that she was incapable and couldn't hold Qi Shizi's heart? โ€

Listening to her persuasion, the queen mother only felt a headache, but she also knew that Mrs. Lin had never been such a disagreeable person, if she didn't really feel wronged, she would never talk like this, so she said ruthlessly, "Mrs. Lin doesn't need to persuade again, he has always been bold and reckless, how can he do it if he doesn't discipline well?" Since he couldn't beat him, he went to the courtyard and knelt! Kneel until he knows his mistake! โ€

The waiter said "yes", hurriedly went out and pulled Qi Shan to the courtyard and knelt.

Qi Shan knelt on the wetland where the snow had melted, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the moisture under his legs seemed to slowly rise to his back, making him very uncomfortable with the sudden heat and cold, he endured it and knelt for a while, and then ...... Then I heard the attendant screaming loudly, "Oh no! Qi Shizi fainted! โ€

The queen couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly ordered the palace maid to help her out.

Mrs. Lin behind her was also taken aback, she knew that Qi Shan had been beaten in her own house, but she felt that the fight was not enough, so she entered the palace and cried and shouted to let the queen call the shots, where did she think that the invincible young man on the battlefield was so vulnerable?

The queen stepped over the crowd and walked to Qi Shan, and saw that he really fell to the ground with a pale face, and there were faint blood stains oozing from his back, so she panicked and commanded in a panic, "What are you doing in a daze!" Why don't you hurry up and carry the prince into the house! โ€

Mrs. Lin also hurriedly seconded, "Yes, yes, go and find the imperial doctor!" โ€

The two chamberlains hurriedly carried Qi Shan into the house and put him on the couch in the inner room, and took off his already wet coat with all hands and feet, and everyone in the room was silent.

I saw that the chest and back of the young man, who was supposed to be delicate and flawless, were densely covered with wounds! There were sword wounds, knife wounds, and even a stab with a bow and arrow! And the back is even more miserable, the wound that has been scabbed burst again, and the back is covered with blood!

Mrs. Lin exclaimed, "This! How did you get it? โ€

The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said calmly, "Marching and fighting is inevitable. โ€

She turned to look at Mrs. Lin, and said earnestly and with ulterior motives, "Mrs. Lin, Shan'er lost his parents at the age of five, and it was my brother who raised him with his own hands, he went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, and won the position of a brave general with his own heroic blood. He didn't like Miss Lin, so he personally came to the door to ask for guilt, and he didn't fight back when he was beaten, knowing that he would be punished if he entered the palace at this time, he still came. โ€

"Mrs. Lin!" With tears in her eyes, she said, "Not only do you have daughters, but you also have sons, and if your children are forced to marry a woman he doesn't like, what will you do?" Or, maybe he's beaten half to death? โ€

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's legs were weak, and she fell to the ground trembling, she hid her face and cried for a long time, and finally said, "Please let the queen be the master and abolish this marriage contract!" โ€

Seeing that she was interested, the queen no longer embarrassed her, and personally bent down to help her up, and the waiter beside the bed said happily, "Wake up!" Empress! Qi Shizi woke up! โ€

"Really?"

The queen immediately turned to look, and sure enough, she saw Qi Shan open her eyes, and after slowing down for a while, she still wanted to struggle to sit up.

The queen hurriedly went over to help him, and scolded anxiously and fearfully, "The body is like this!" Why didn't you say it earlier? โ€

Qi Shan didn't say anything, but looked at Mrs. Lin who was standing aside, and he said eagerly and sincerely, "Mrs. Lin, I'm sorry, it's not me...... Miss Guifu is famous in the United States, and she will definitely be able to choose another good match and marry a high-ranking family! Iโ€”I promise you! I will bear all the consequences of this divorce alone, and I will never let gossip pollute the ears of the people of your house! โ€

The Empress also hurriedly chimed in, "That's exactly how it should be," she thought for a moment and continued, "This palace will also ask the Emperor to canonize Ruowei County as a sign of honor!" โ€
