Chapter 40: Brothers

Xiao Zhaoyi then showed King Qi how Jiang Qi seduced his innocent and kind eldest brother with a clever mouth, and then abandoned him ruthlessly and threw himself into the arms of King Fuling.

When King Qi heard this, he became angry again: "What a shameless woman in the rivers and lakes!" Enter the palace immediately for your father, and ask Your Majesty to be the master......"

"Father, wait, please listen to the child!" Xiao Zhaoyi stopped King Qi, "If the father enters the palace to face the saint, His Majesty will definitely pursue it, even if the woman is punished, how can the eldest brother's face remain?" What is the face of King Fuling? Your Majesty will surely be angry with us. Suffering such a setback, wouldn't the eldest brother be in a slump again, and it would be difficult for his stepfather to look forward to it? Please think twice! ”

"Over the years, the eldest brother has been alone, with no one to take care of him in the inner house, and he has repeatedly failed his father's high expectations. Now that there is this opportunity, why can't my father become the eldest brother? The eldest brother has to marry the one he loves, start a family, and have a stable backyard, maybe he will work hard from now on and glorify the lintel of my Xiao family, wouldn't it be a great joy for my family! ”

Xiao Zhaoyi made a generous statement, hoping that his father would become the eldest brother, and King Qi, who spoke bluntly, was silent, and his mind was shaken.

"She is a woman in the rivers and lakes, how can she climb my Qi Wang Xiao clan, besides, the water-based poplar flower is unbearable to enter my house...... "The woman in the rivers and lakes is not easy to get along with, he himself is a bloody example.

"Father don't worry, marrying her as a concubine not only reassures the eldest brother's heart, but also holds her in his hands, puts her under house arrest in the backyard, and stays until she has a child in three years and five years, she must be respectful and obedient. Moreover, my father also knew that this daughter was the descendant of another prince with a different surname, Jiang Tai, and she was also a good match for my family. Although there is no seal, His Majesty is polite to her, and the embroidered messenger has a good relationship with her, and the power behind it should not be underestimated. If she helps, won't my Xiao family be like a tiger......"

King Qi has been sick for a long time, and he is far from seeing the heroism of his prime. The eldest son has been a quality Ryan for many years, and there is only this intimate second son by his side, who has always been entrusted with important tasks, and now he has been dissected in detail and said that he is moved.

Thinking that his eldest son and wife had passed away, he had lived in a different place, and he had been wandering for many years, and he thought that it would be better to follow him and set a marriage that suited his heart, so that he could relent.

"Since she has this background and this power, she must be unwilling to be a concubine."

"My father is too worried, and the prince of King Ding has already been inherited by Jiang Yinuo. Although she is a descendant of Jiang Tai, she is from the rivers and lakes, has no name and power, and has a low status. Give her a concubine, it is not an insult to her. Anyway, the eldest brother has no wife now, so why not use the position of the concubine as a bait, and promise Jiang Qi that if she obediently assists the eldest brother in the future, she will be the concubine. ”

Xiao Zhaoyi's heart is vicious, but King Qi feels very reasonable.

"Don't let the women of the rivers and lakes be the main room."

"Father, don't worry, it's just to draw cakes for her."

King Qi lay on his back on the couch and sighed: "That's it." That's it. ”

Xiao Zhaoyi bowed his head, expecting that the matter had been completed, and secretly showed joy.

Someone only needs one side, and you know that she will be your enemy. He couldn't tell what was wrong with him, and he couldn't see anything wrong, but with his intuition, he could be sure that Jiang Qi was friend or foe.

"This matter is arranged for the father's association, but you-" King Qi felt sorry for the second son, "If it weren't for the Beihu envoy asking for a marriage halfway, your relationship with Wen Yue would have been settled a long time ago." ”

"Children don't feel sorry, there will always be better."

King Qi's cloudy eyes swirled up and down, and even he couldn't see through his son. If it weren't for the illness over the years, he could have fought for the mighty world, after all, his son is a dragon and phoenix among people, no weaker than the royal princes. blames that ruthless woman, ruined his life, and indirectly ruined his son's supreme future.

He knew that he didn't have much life, he had made a plan, the eldest son inherited the king, the daughter married the king of Liyang, and the second son married Princess Wenyue.

"Father, there are other commands. The boy wanted to go to the eldest brother and come back and tell him about the happy news. Xiao Zhaoyi interrupted King Qi's silent thoughts.

"There you go."

Turning around, Xiao Zhaoyi smiled with satisfaction. The moment he opened the door, King Qi asked in a faint trembling voice behind him: "Jade Qi'er...... Any news? ”

He was stunned for a long time, gradually smiled, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "No." ”

"Go, tired for the Father."

Xiao Zhaoyi put his hands behind his back and strutted with his head held high, as if he had broken a thousand troops.

Jade Qi'er? The corpses have long been buried in the wilderness! The mother and daughter he missed didn't exist at all. Don't blame him for not telling him about his ruthless heart as a son, telling him that he regrets it! Dream!

Jade Qi'er, what kind of thing, only one mother and compatriot have always been his relatives.

Xiao Zhaoxian, who was calculated by his brother, was waiting outside Muyi Villa, and when Jiang Qi came back from enjoying the flowers in Fuling Palace, he didn't step forward to block the way, but just quietly watched her return to the village. Although she was warned not to look for her again, Xiao Zhaoxian always felt that she and the Xiao family still had room to turn their rivalry into friendship. Whenever he had the chance, he wanted to give it a try.

Seeing Jiang Qi enter the village, Xiao Zhaoxian was alone and lost, feeling that she still wouldn't see him, and was about to leave. But Limber let him stay......

In the village, Xiao Zhaoxian, who was allowed to enter for the first time, stood cramped in front of Jiang Qi, a little restrained, where was he still flirting and debauching on weekdays.

"Sit." was able to see him calmly, but because she didn't want to owe favors. A long time ago, he had saved her once.

Jiang Qiyun was light and light, but he couldn't sit still. I didn't hope she would see her, and she was still so pleasant, as if nothing had happened.

He looked up at her, and when he was a child, he felt that when she grew up, she must be a beauty. Goodbye, she was brilliant and did not disappoint him.

The rumors about her in Ryan City are really bitter. She's not the brutal warrior girl who those people say is pitiful.

"You forgot my warnings, you always come, what's the matter?" She didn't think the man in front of her was here to reminisce.

There are not many people who have given her warmth in this life, and she remembers every bit clearly. But it doesn't mean that she wants to laugh and greet others.

"Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun are just strong for a while, and they have no malicious intent. Can you forget all the previous grievances......" His voice was very low, and he had no confidence.

Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows, he didn't get angry, but the invisible coercion was everywhere: "That's what you're talking about?" Want to write it off? ”

"I'm not your enemy......"

"If you really are, do you think you'll ever have a chance to talk to me here?"

"I'm sorry about Aunt Wen, but what happened after you left has nothing to do with us, and her death has nothing to do with us. Don't do this to us, you can't blame Zhao Yi for what happened back then......" He touched Jiang Qi's reverse scales under nervousness.

"If you mention one more word back then, I will immediately let the Xiao family die!" Every word is as hard as iron. She was really fed up with the Xiao family's self-talk.

Xiao Zhaoxian was stunned by her, he was used to her, at such a close distance, she had a straight face, and he didn't dare to speak. He pondered in his heart before he dared to speak again.

"You are living so well now, why bother with hatred, it's better to let go. If Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun have offended and have been punished, I will let them pay more attention in the future......"

Xiao Zhaoxian moved with affection and knew with reason. Jiang Qi was distracted, she thought of her mother.

If it's just a man's desperate love, the mother may not die, and she will be scattered with her temperament and gone. But being plotted, slandered, splashed with dirty water, and seeing with her own eyes the knife on her daughter's neck, the person who used to share the bed not only forced her to death, but also humiliated her like that, this is the pain she can't bear.

"What else do you have to say? Let's talk about it together. ”

Seeing her so calm, Xiao Zhaoxian was encouraged: "Can you give your father an antidote?" If you have to get the cure, your father will leave and never bother you again! Father's Gu poison attacks are becoming more and more frequent, and if there is no antidote, he will be more and less lucky. ”

Jiang Qi's face did not change, he was plain, and he just spit out lightly: "What does his life and death have to do with me?" What if he was slashed by a thousand cuts? ”

The voice is not loud, and the words are not heavy, but they are like a thousand whips, leaving Xiao Zhaoxian, who is conclusive, speechless.

"I know you hate him......"

"Hate what?" Her plain eyebrows and eyes can't see any residual hatred, "Life and death have their own fate, right and wrong are up to you, if you have revenge, you have to take revenge, if you have mistakes, you have to bear it, just resenting others is just incompetent." ”

"Yes, you don't hate, you don't hate. It's ...... us."

Jiang Qi didn't give him another chance to continue nagging.

"I'm not open-minded, I'm not forgetful, and this kind of thing depends on cause and effect. If there is a cause, there is an effect, and if you plant the cause yourself, don't complain about the effect. If you are afraid, you can immediately commit suicide and apologize. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will fight me with all your might. The most shameful behavior is to want to be born and incompetent, and run to me to bargain. ”

Listening to Xiao Zhaoxian's ears, these words are a different taste. always felt that she had been in a corner all these years, peeking into everything about them, but they didn't know what happened to her.

"I know, according to your temperament when you were a child, you wish we were all dead. I've been afraid of you since I was a child, and no matter how much I try to please you and get close to you, it will be self-defeating in the end. The second brother is a gentleman in the prosperous world, and I am a gentleman; You are an immortal outside the world, and I am a ridiculous ant. We don't deserve to be in front of you. ”

Such frustration and inferiority complex accompanied him, no matter how hard he worked when he was a child, he couldn't compare to the position of his second brother in her heart. The gap was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe.

His words angered Jiang Qi, and she didn't have the heart to listen to his self-pity. If he is cold and unkind, he will not dare to raise his head and face.

"Don't bother me in the future, you and I have long been strangers. The life and death of the Xiao family is up to me, you are no exception, and you are not qualified to ask again. ”

Xiao Zhaoxian was like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say a word to refute her, and he couldn't help but feel sad. She has always been like this, she has never been kind, thinking that she is willing to see him, more or less thinking of the affection when she was a child. It seems that he is overthinking. When I was a child, I didn't have a relationship, and I don't have to count on it when I grow up. Besides, with her ability today, not taking the initiative to kill is already considered merciful.

It's just that he brought shame on himself.

"Excuse me, I won't bother you again in the future." He got up lonely.

After leaving Muyi Villa, Xiao Zhaoxian went into the dance studio and did not return, and he was in a decadent mess with a noble family.
