There was chaos in the study, and behind the bookcase, Qi Guogong couldn't see his eyebrows by holding his head, but he could hear his heavy breathing.

After the Duchess of Qi entered the door, she covered the door slightly.

Qi Guogong's head was raised slightly, his eyes were painfully as if he was restrained, and he struggled hard, but he couldn't struggle, so he could only flip in place weakly.

"Madame......" he said in a hoarse voice.

"Grandpa Guo, what the hell is going on, you...... Why did you rush out as soon as you heard about the matter in Qu Shilang's mansion? The Duchess of Qi Guo calmed down and asked gently.

The two have been married for many years, and it can be seen that Qi Guogong is physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and the whole person is like a trapped beast, with a bit of trapped red in his eyes.

She took two steps forward with the corner of her skirt, stepped over the clutter on the ground, and walked to the desk, "Grandpa Guo, what happened, can't you tell me?" The two of us are also a couple in distress, and the most difficult time of the year has already passed, is there anything that can't be over? ”

Duchess Qi Guo's words were full of concern, looking at Qi Guogong, tears slowly formed in the corners of her eyes, and gradually tears fell.

Stretched out his hand to hold Qi Guogong's hand placed on the bookcase, the two of them were already dying, but more of them had been with each other for half a lifetime.

Qi Guogong's hand was very cold and hard, stiff and tight, and under the gentle comfort of the Duchess of Qi Guo, his hand relaxed slightly.

"Grandpa Guo, you say it, I'll listen!" Duchess Qi continued to say softly, "Is it because of the Xiao Yue clan?" Isn't the relationship between Xiao Yue's family and our house very unusual? ”

Qi Guogong's head lowered again, his eyes closed hard, and his hands involuntarily wanted to clench.

Duchess Qi didn't rush to force him, just held his hand hard, not letting him close his palm alone, and felt that Qi Guogong's hand was no longer resisting, so she said again: "Grandpa Guo, we have been married for many years, what has Grandpa Guo done...... I won't say anything, could it be that we have been married for so many years, and Grandpa Guo still can't believe me? ”

These words were a little sad, but they were still calm, revealing a sad discomfort, and the tone was not slow or urgent, indicating that the Duchess of Qi was thoughtful.

The words continued, and his voice slowly choked a little, but it was not sharp: "For so many years of husband and wife, Grandpa Guo has always been very good to me, and many people in the house and our generation envy me, and they all say that I am well married, and I am also ...... I think so, for so many years, Grandpa Guo has treated me very well, in fact, I ...... After I got married, I didn't think Grandpa Guo would be so good. ”

At that time, the Duke of Qi was just a gentleman, and the affairs of the house were the responsibility of the eldest brother, and there was a capable eldest sister-in-law, and for a gentleman like him, he could marry anything, it was just a superficial brand in the mansion, and the Duchess of Qi who married in the past knew in her heart that she only complained that she couldn't be the master.

"Something happened in the house...... Fortunately, there is a grandfather of the country, otherwise...... Otherwise, I might not have known what to do at that time, Jiao'er was just born at that time...... I ......" Duchess Qi couldn't go on anymore when she said this, tears fell, "Grandpa Guo, you've gone through so many things, don't you still believe me, even if you really ...... Really did something...... I...... I'll forgive you too! ”

The Duchess of Qi Guo finished the following words with difficulty, and she was already crying.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of the Duchess of Qi Guo sobbing, and it took a long time to hear the hoarse voice of the Duke of Qi Guo: "Don't think about it, I'...... Didn't do anything like that. ”

It was a suspicion that he had other women and children out there.

"Since nothing like this has been done, is there anything that can't be said? Is Grandpa Guo afraid that I will be angry, or is he afraid that I will do bad things, or does he simply not believe me? Duchess Qi wiped a handful of tears and asked.

"How could I not believe you, just this...... This matter ......" Qi Guo was fair, and his eyes were full of pain.

"Grandpa Guo, you have been suffering so much about this matter, is it possible that you still don't want to say it? Husband and wife, the two of us have been very good for so many years, is it possible that you still hide it from me? The Duchess of Qi continued to say softly, staring at Qi Guo tightly with red eyes.

"You...... You don't understand......" Qi Guogong breathed hard, and the stinging pain in his heart did not go away, but became more serious.

"Grandpa Guo said, I naturally understand, Grandpa Guo, you say, I can hold it, no matter what you say, I can hold it, and it will not affect the relationship between the two of us, we are so old, is there anything I can't think of? Grandpa Guo, look at our age, no one knows if I will be able to get up tomorrow, and even if Grandpa Guo wants to say it, I can't listen to it! ”

Duchess Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, the husband holding Qi Guogong trembled for a moment, and then her eyes fell on the hands held by the two people.

The hands of both of them are old, and they are no longer the immature appearance they saw when they were young, and they are no longer snow-white and moist hands.

Qi Guogong's heart seemed to have been hit twice by something, and the pain made him almost have the urge to cry, and his heart was painful and sour.

The two of them are really not young, is it true that this secret will never be let her know? Actually, she has a right to know about it, doesn't she?

"Do you remember your eldest brother and sister-in-law?" He heard himself speak.

The words just rushed out of his mouth, and it was too late to regret covering up.

"How could I forget, even after so many years, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are ...... How can you forget! Duchess Qi sighed, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I always remember that when you entered the door, you didn't grow in...... I also lose my temper, and my sister-in-law will come to persuade me at this time, even if her identity at that time is far from being comparable to me. ”

Qi Guogong's parents died early, and his only eldest brother was many years older than him, and Qi Guogong has always respected his brother and sister-in-law who supported his family.

At that time, he never thought that his brother and sister-in-law would collaborate with the enemy, let alone that his entire mansion would be destroyed overnight.

"The eldest brother and sister-in-law are in ...... Before I ...... I've been to see them......" Qi Guogong Tiger burst into tears, staring at a certain point in the air in a daze, slowly recalling.

Duchess Qi was startled, her head was raised, she didn't know about this matter, and she didn't hear Qi Guogong talk about it later, her hand tightened, and then relaxed slightly, knowing that this should be the key to the matter, she didn't step up the question, just listened quietly.

Sure enough, there was no need to ask, Qi Guogong continued: "My sister-in-law was pregnant at the time, and when I went in, my sister-in-law fell and was frightened because of what happened before, and she was born prematurely, and she happened to give birth to a child......"

Qi Guogong stopped again when he said this, lowered his head, knocked on his wrist, and tried his best to calm the pain and excitement in his heart.

Will he continue to talk about this? Originally, he wanted to rot this matter in his heart, but under the agitation of the mood, he actually said it like this?

Duchess Qi Guo's eyes were already shocked and panicked, and she remembered that her sister-in-law was pregnant at that time, and it was not much different from her own month.

The big house was full of doors, and one of his own houses was spared because of the grandfather of the country, although he was exempt from a difficulty, but how could he not be frightened under the circumstances at that time, she was also born prematurely, and then she lay down groggily to raise her body, only paying attention to the little daughter who was born, and she knew that she couldn't help anything outside, so she only secretly wiped her tears for a while, and didn't dare to ask more about other things.

For fear of annoying his husband again, he didn't dare to inquire about other things.

"Xiao Yue's ...... Xiao Yue is the daughter of the eldest brother? Duchess Qi asked in a trembling voice, her face was as white as snow, her body shook, she almost fell, and her voice carried a broken breath, as if she couldn't breathe, "That...... That's a crime of deception. ”

Duke Qi grabbed the hand of the Duchess of Qi with his backhand, as if he wanted to give her strength, and also seemed to want to give himself strength, and then continued to say vaguely: "This is the only hope of the eldest brother, and it is also the only bloodline of the eldest brother, I ...... I don't want to watch my eldest brother and sister-in-law cut off their only bloodline, secretly bring the child out, and then ...... And then....... ”

Having said that, I can't go on anymore, I just feel that all my internal organs are painful, if I do it again, will he still do it?

The child will definitely be brought out, but what about next? Will there still be so many inconsistencies?

"It's all my fault, it's all me!" Qi Guogong blamed himself, his eyes closed weakly, he only felt that his head was buzzing, although he couldn't take back the words, but he was unwilling to go deeper at this time.

"I'm fine, I just want to be quiet!" He let go of the Duchess of Qi's hand and said weakly, "I will write an excerpt to the emperor in a while, and give up the title to my son." ”

"Grandpa Guo, what do you want to do?" Duchess Qi Guo panicked and asked urgently.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired and just want to ...... Quietly think about it. Qi Guo was fair, and his head slowly lowered again, as if his head was as heavy as Mount Tai at this moment.

"It's all my fault, if I could have taken good care of this child in the first place...... It wouldn't be what happened today, it's that I can't live with this child, it's that I can't live with her. Qi Guogong said sadly, his eyes red again.

"You are not to blame for this...... You are also benevolent and righteous......" Duchess Qi Guo breathed a sigh of relief, the cause and effect, this will make her feel that she has figured it out, seeing Qi Guogong so sad, she is also very uncomfortable, seeing that he doesn't want to speak at this time, she can only turn around and leave.

When he walked to the door, he turned his head again and wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Qi Guogong's head buried deep in his arm, he could only sigh deeply in his heart, and then walked out slowly.

This result surprised her, but it didn't seem to be a complete accident, but the horror in her heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time, and this matter was a crime of bullying the king......

If it is turned out, the entire Qi State Mansion will be responsible, and this kind of thing is still rotten in the stomach......
