Chapter 75 Qi is under house arrest
Seeing that his mother and niece-in-law had left, Shan Sucai said to his personal servant, "Give orders to let the lady recuperate in her own courtyard. She is not allowed to leave the courtyard. Everyone around her should also leave. Only two close servants will be left to serve her."
"You...are you going to put me under house arrest?!" Qi looked at the man in front of him and suddenly felt that he was so strange. It was as if he had never known him before.
"I just want you to be quiet so that you can figure out what you did wrong?" Shan Su looked at her and felt that the person in front of him was very strange. He shook his head, letting himself come back to his senses, and continued, "I never cared about how you raised your children before. Because I always thought that parents would never harm their children, but today I know that I was wrong. You, you..."
The hand pointing at Qi began to tremble. There were some words that he really couldn't say. After a long pause, Shan Su continued, "Look at what you have taught Yu'er to be like. Not to mention that her mother is disappointed, even I am disappointed. She is obviously a legitimate daughter. But she speaks and acts without any rules, is scheming, and has no mercy. She plotted against Yun's wife before, and after failing, she vented her dissatisfaction to a three-year-old child. Which sage book taught her to act like this?"
"You know?" Qi was planning to tell Shan Su about Shan Yu's plot against Song Qingci, hoping that he would make a decision. However, she didn't have a chance to talk to Shan Su. Later, she thought that Shan Su might cause trouble to Yu Er again after knowing the truth, so she just kept the matter secret. Unexpectedly, he still knew it in the end.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Shan Su said angrily, "How can I, as a father, not know what my own daughter did? It's just that I didn't ask you out of consideration for your feelings."
Although he was a man and didn't often walk around the inner courtyard, he couldn't help but ask about his daughter's confinement.
After understanding the whole story, he was too embarrassed to ask his mother for mercy. Even he felt that the punishment was justified.
Why did a good young lady cause so many troubles? As a mother, Qi not only did not dissuade him, but also added fuel to the fire. So during that period of time, he was so angry that he did not come to the main room, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and make trouble.
Qi now felt that she had no strength left in her body and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing his first wife like this, Shan Su felt upset. He didn't understand why he felt like his wife had suddenly become a different person.
If Song Qingci were here, he might be able to clear up Shan Su's confusion. His wife didn't suddenly change into a different person, but had always been the same person. It was just that women were probably masters of disguise. It just depended on whether she was willing to disguise herself in front of her man.
The farce between Qi's mother and daughter came to an end with Qi being placed under house arrest and Shan Yu being confined to her room.
The old lady kept her word and really invited an old nanny from the palace who was specifically responsible for teaching the princess etiquette.
I heard that Zhixueyuan has never been peaceful since the day the old nanny moved in.
However, these have nothing to do with Song Qingci. Shan Su has come to apologize to Li's mother and son on behalf of the second house, and compensated 100 taels of silver.
Then this matter came to an end with Song Qingci.
The matter is over, so why bring it up again?
"Feng Yi, is there any news about your master?" Counting the days, Shan Li has been gone for a while.
She didn't receive any letter from him. She cursed him in her heart as a bastard. He seemed to have disappeared when he left the house. There was no news from him at all.
"Madam, I have no news about my master either." Feng Yi answered honestly. He did not forget to secretly glance at Song Qingci's face after he finished speaking.
However, he had no idea whether the lady was angry or not.
"Don't stare at me if you have nothing to do." Song Qingci warned Feng Yi faintly, and Feng Yi immediately lowered his head in fear. He did not forget that his wife was the one who could beat the master. He could not afford to offend her. He could not afford to offend her at all.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Feng Yi rarely approached her. He came here today, so he must have something to talk about. But she asked about Shan Li's situation first, so he still hasn't told her the reason for coming today.
"Madam, two people came to the study room at midnight yesterday." Feng Yi didn't dare to be long-winded and simply explained the reason.
"Alive?" Song Qingci stood up and walked closer to Feng Yi.
After waiting for so long, someone finally came. Song Qingci was even a little excited.
"This...that...is probably alive..." Feng Yi stuttered, a little hesitant to speak.
"What's going on? Where is the person? Take me there quickly and tell me as we walk." Song Qingci directly pulled Feng Yi, who was still bowing, and rushed out the door.
When Song Qingci went out with Feng Yi, he saw Yin Xing sitting alone under the porch, kicking stones with her feet.
Yin Xing also looked over at the first moment. She immediately stood up and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Song Qingci, "Don't move, just stay here. If anyone asks me, just say I'm resting."
Song Qingci finished his words quickly, then left with Feng Yi without looking back.
Yinxing could only stare blankly in the direction they left.
What's going on now? This is the first time she's seen the young lady in such a rush.
It was a pity that the young lady didn't let her follow. Well, forget it, she would just follow orders and guard the yard. The young lady was very capable, and nothing would happen to her.
Feng Yi brought Song Qingci to the study and opened one of the side rooms.
There was nothing special about this side room. Feng Yi stood behind a screen and pushed a decoration on the wall with his hand. Then, the whole wall cracked, revealing a secret passage.
Song Qingci followed Feng Yi into the secret passage again. After walking around for a long time, they finally entered a large secret room.
"The person is over there." Feng pointed his finger, and Song Qingci looked over in the dim light and saw a person lying on a bed. Judging from the slight rise and fall of his chest, the situation was not good.
"Bring a few more lamps," Song Qingci instructed as he approached the injured.
Feng Yi didn't dare to delay and hurried to prepare what Song Qingci wanted.
Soon, the entire secret room became bright, and Song Qingci was finally able to see clearly the specific situation of the person lying on the bed.
