Chapter 397 - 7: Giving Up 2
Chapter 397: Giving Up 2
Yan Qingyun looked at Uncle Qi with disgust in his eyes. He kicked Uncle Qi away and said in disgust, “You betrayed your master for glory. You deserve what you have today.”
Uncle Qi betrayed his master under Qi Xinyue’s bait and even helped Qi Xinyue to harm Yan Mian. Now that the assassination failed and the fire burned him, it was too late for him to regret and beg for mercy.
He had even given up on Qi Xinyue. How could he save a slave?
Uncle Qi was old. After experiencing this twist and turn, he fainted after being kicked away.
Yan Qingyun didn’t even look at him.
Qi Xinyue looked at Yan Qingyun in despair. She gulped and said, “Master, we’ve been married for so many years. I’ve worked so hard for this family. Are you really not going to save me? Don’t you have any feelings for me in the past forty years? Huh?”
How could he give up on her so easily? How could he let her end her own life so easily? How could he… say it so easily?
“Madame, I thought you were a wise man.”
Yan Qingyun seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous. He looked at Qi Xinyue, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, “Madam, isn’t it too late for you to mention your feelings to me now? If Xinyu hadn’t passed away in childbirth, do you think you could have entered my house?”
“Mianmian has regarded you as her biological mother since she was young. When her mother passed away, she had no memories. How did you treat her? You can’t even tolerate a child who was raised by you and called you mother. How can you talk about feelings with me? We’re just involved in benefits. What feelings can we have? You just can’t accept your own failure. Don’t use feelings to hide your disgusting motive.”
How could they have feelings for each other? He knew that she had a vicious heart, but couldn’t she see that he was cold and heartless?
Talking about feelings at this point was simply the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Qi Xinyue gritted her teeth and tried her best to control her trembling body.
She thought that he had hidden his feelings for her after knowing about it back then, but she did not expect that some of it was all for benefits.
Even though she was vicious, she loved him.
“Alright, think about it carefully. If there’s nothing else, don’t come looking for me.”
Yan Qingyun didn’t want to take another look. He flicked his sleeves and left.
Since Qi Xinyue did not succeed, he had to make plans for himself. He could not be implicated by Qi Xinyue.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Yan Qingyun instructed the servants to bring some breakfast. He ate and was about to leave.
After breakfast, Yan Qingyun left the residence and went straight to the Grand General’s residence.
If Qi Xinyue messed up, he would have to come early.
General Manor.
Qi Xingzhi and Qi Xingfeng told their parents everything.
Father Qi was shocked. “When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
Mother Qi asked worriedly, “Then is your aunt’s family alright? Are the children alright?”
Qi Xingfeng replied, “My aunt’s family is fine. Fortunately, they practiced martial arts.”
Father Qi frowned and said, “You said that the Yan family’s attitude is cold and suspect that the assassination was done by them. You even suspected that your aunt’s disappearance had something to do with them. This reminds me of something.”
“Your second aunt’s daughter, Yan Zhenzhen, is two years younger than Mianmian. Once, when Mianmian came back, she would also come back with her. I remember that once, my elder brother made a wooden pigeon for Mianmian. Not long after, the wooden pigeon landed in Yan Zhenzhen’s hands. I asked her if she had snatched Mianmian’s things, but she said no. It was Mianmian who didn’t like wooden pigeons. At that time, she even asked Mianmian to tell everyone that and Mianmian lowered her head and said that she didn’t like them.”
“At that time, none of us took it to heart. I only thought of it occasionally in the past few years and felt that it was a little strange. However, it had been too many years and there was no way to investigate it. It was just that when I heard you guys mention it just now, I immediately thought of this matter.”

After saying that, Father Qi sighed. The Qi family had been practicing martial arts for generations. No one was shy, and no one would think too much about it. They thought that if they said they didn’t like it, they didn’t like it.
Ever since he returned home from his injury and was unable to practice martial arts, he had calmed down. When he recalled the past, he would find it a little strange. As he had no way to investigate it, he did not have the chance to verify anything. Today, after hearing what his two sons said, he immediately remembered.
“Actually, when Mianmian was lost, your great-grandfather even suspected that someone was trying to assassinate her. However, he couldn’t find anything. Later on, he had to do an errand so he didn’t investigate further. The main reason was that he still felt that your granduncle wouldn’t be unable to tolerate a child. Now that you went looking for him and someone immediately went to assassinate them. This really doesn’t make sense. However, I don’t understand either. Yan Mian is also his daughter. How could he be so ruthless?”
Father Qi felt that it was too complicated. With his temperament, it was difficult for him to figure it out.
After all, no matter what the truth was, it had to do with one’s family. The truth was bloody and painful.
Mother Qi remained silent. Because she had not married over when Yan Mian was lost, there were many things that she did not understand.
Qi Xingzhi said, “Father, mother, should we tell your great-grandfather about this?”
Qi Xingfeng immediately said, “Of course we have to tell him. Only when Grandfather takes action can Yan Qingyun learn his lesson!”
Father Qi shook his head and said, “We can’t tell your great-grandfather about this for the time being. His health isn’t good. If he worries too much, his body won’t be able to take it. Even if we bring your aunt back to see him, we have to get a doctor to guard him in case your great-grandfather faints.”
The Qi family had not given birth to any girls in these two generations.
General Qi truly loved and cared for the only daughter left behind by his only daughter. He had missed her for more than 20 years. It was also a dangerous thing for him to suddenly know this good news.
“What Father said makes sense. Ever since Great-grandfather was injured last year, his health hasn’t been as good as before. The imperial physician said that if he hadn’t met the divine doctor to save his life back then, Great-grandfather would have died. We really can’t tell Great-grandfather about this.”
Qi Xingzhi frowned.
Qi Xingfeng was a little anxious. “Then what should we do? We have to think of a good solution.”
When Qi Xingfeng was anxious, it was easy for him to become emotional. It was not suitable for him to use his brain because he could not calm down at all. Hearing the current situation, he was really anxious. What should they do?
“Son, don’t be anxious. You’re just too impetuous. You’re not scheming at all. You’ve suffered a loss here. How many times must you fall before you learn?”
Qi Xingfeng’s mother saw that her son was extremely anxious. Afraid that he would be too anxious, she reached out and patted Qi Xingfeng’s back to comfort him.
Qi Xingzhi’s eyes lit up. He said, “I have an idea.”
“What idea? Tell me quickly.”
Qi Xingfeng couldn’t wait to listen and interrupted anxiously.
Qi Xingzhi smiled and said, “Big Brother has to do this.”
