Minister Qian looked at the pig food in front of him, which was his lunch, and he was about to collapse. Minister Qian was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Who would have thought that one day he would end up in this situation, looking at his old mother with gray hair, and having to come to this prison to suffer in prison with him.
Minister Qian felt a little heartbroken. As a result, he glared at Qian Jiujiu and called her a rebellious girl: "Qian Jiujiu, you rebellious girl."
"If you have good things but don't honor your elders, you won't be afraid of being struck by lightning."
Qian Jiujiu was talking to Mu Yexiao while watching the reactions of the Qian family members to lunch. She didn't expect that Minister Qian would instantly bring the war to her.
He was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Mu Yexiao's words: "Minister Qian, I doubt your Qian family's upbringing."
"Why, don't your daughters obey their husbands after marriage? Married daughters also have to listen to your elders and ask them for everything?"
"Then why did you marry your daughter to me?"
Minister Qian was immediately choked by this sentence and was speechless. If he dared to say it, he would guarantee that the saying that the daughter of the Qian family would not obey her husband after marriage would spread throughout Kyoto tomorrow, no, today.
By then, everyone would think that there was something wrong with the upbringing of the daughters of the Qian family, and then none of the daughters of the Qian family would be able to get married. Look, now the people from other branches of the Qian family are glaring at him.
Minister Qian was speechless. He could only blame himself for expecting Qian Jiujiu to help him solve the problem and give him a way out. Unfortunately, Qian Jiujiu was not that kind of person.
If someone hits you on the left cheek, you will extend your right cheek to the person who hit you.
Mu Yexiao has never been a person who knows when to stop. Seeing that Minister Qian had nothing to say, he was still not satisfied: "Why, Minister Qian is silent?"
"Don't you think that since Jiu'er married me, I have to move all my things back home for you?"
Minister Qian had already knelt down at this time: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I..."
"You are a criminal. You are guilty now."
Minister Qian: “…”
"I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I definitely did not mean that. Qian Jiujiu is now married to Your Majesty, so naturally, Your Majesty has the final say over everything that happens to her."
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly and looked at Minister Qian: "If that's the case, you don't want to eat that labor meal, right?"
"It just so happens that I still need the lunch that the four girls brought for us. I can give you some, but you have to give me my things, Minister Qian..."
Having said this, Mu Yexiao paused. Qian Jiujiu looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do. Even Minister Qian thought that Mu Yexiao was going to give it to him.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao with hope, but in an instant she heard what Mu Yexiao said, which made her so angry.
"You want to eat? Please beg me. If you beg me, I will give it to you. Come on, please beg me. You'd better wag your tail. Come on..."
When Minister Qian heard this, he instantly had the urge to curse, damn it! I am your father-in-law after all! Of course, Minister Qian only dared to roar these words in his heart.
He didn't dare to show it in front of Mu Yexiao. He must be the most aggrieved father-in-law in the world. He couldn't help but burst into tears in his heart.
He is a lord of the imperial court, how could he possibly ask others for help for a little food? He cannot afford such a reputation.
Mu Yexiao saw through Minister Qian's thoughts and clicked his tongue twice, "Actually, Minister Qian, you are just trying to satisfy your mother's appetite, so it's okay for you to beg me."
"After all, it has fulfilled your filial piety, right?"
The corner of Minister Qian's mouth twitched. The title of "Qian Guilty Minister" was really unbearable to hear. It made him so angry that his face turned red and black.
Qian Jiujiu tugged at the corner of Mu Yexiao's clothes, signaling him not to go too far. If Minister Qian got angry to the point of being bad, she would be implicated in the end.
"Your Majesty, I am a little tired."
After saying that, Qian Jiujiu stopped massaging Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao immediately understood. Could it be that he said that Minister Qian had gone too far and his wife was unhappy
After all, she was the daughter of Minister Qian. But as a grown man, besides torturing Minister Qian, could he really lay hands on a woman
That would be a loss of face! As a proud and arrogant prince, he disdains to do such things, so when Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu say that he was tired, he immediately stopped playing.
After throwing the food box aside, he came to Qian Jiujiu and said, "Jiu'er, what's wrong? Are you tired of massaging? How about I help you massage?"
That tender look on his face made Qian Shangshu think he had seen a ghost. Why did Mu Yexiao change his expression so strangely? But at this time, he could not care less.
His stomach was growling with hunger, and looking at the lunch in the prison, he really couldn't eat it. Not only him, but also the other people in the Qian family were still hesitating as they looked at the rice soaked with green vegetables and yellow leaves in front of them.
Although I am very hungry after skipping a meal, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Or maybe we can ask the Qian family to leave quickly
The second uncle of the Qian family was a reasonable man. He didn't care about the lunch at this time. Instead, he looked at Minister Qian and said, "Brother, let me ask you, what exactly is the crime of deceiving the emperor this time?"
"How dare you deceive the emperor? You should know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the death of all nine generations of the clan. Of course, the married daughter can escape, but have you thought about us?"
After hearing this, Qian Jiujiu looked up at the second uncle of the Qian family. The daughter who was married off was referring to her! But it was true, for one thing, she was already married off.
And seeing how closely the emperor, concubine and other members of the royal family protect her, it goes without saying that she will be fine regardless of whether she is a legitimate daughter or not. However, the Qian family doesn't know.
Minister Qian was also struggling in his heart. It would not be a good idea to continue in this situation. The emperor's attitude was very clear, that is, he only recognized Qian Jiujiu as his daughter-in-law.
If he continues to be so awkward, I'm afraid things will be difficult to handle. Thinking of this, Minister Qian suddenly had a good idea in his mind, and he only needed to ask Qian Jiujiu for help.
What made Qian Jiujiu admit her crime this time was that she admired His Royal Highness King Xiao, so she knocked Yu Ge unconscious that day and married King Xiao.
Thinking of this, Minister Qian's eyes lit up and he looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiu'er, come here."
Qian Jiujiu heard Minister Qian calling her. When she looked up, she happened to see the light in Minister Qian's eyes. She immediately understood that Minister Qian had come up with some self-righteous good idea.
He laughed twice and came to Minister Qian: "Father, what can I do for you?"
Minister Qian poked his hand, and as soon as he moved it, he grimaced in pain because of the wound on his butt. Qian Jiujiu felt amused in his heart, thinking that this was a typical case of being too happy and ending in sorrow.
But she didn't show it on her face at all, she just stood there like a good girl, listening to her father's teachings.
Minister Qian was very satisfied with Qian Jiujiu's attitude. Seeing Qian Jiujiu being so respectful, he even completely ignored the fact that Qian Jiujiu had never listened to him before.
He spoke out his thoughts: "Jiujiu, you see, now our family as big as this depends entirely on you."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, he blinked and spoke louder, as if he was very surprised: "Father, what did you say? The Qian family depends on me?"
"You want me to go and plead for the prince? But I'm locked up now, should I go and talk to the prince?"
Minister Qian's expression suddenly froze, looking somewhat unsightly: "Qian Jiujiu, don't play dumb. King Xiao has followed you to jail, so you might as well just admit it."
"You knocked out your sister because you liked Prince Xiao, and married into Prince Xiao's palace in her place. You can also gain a reputation for being affectionate."
Qian Jiujiu raised a mocking smile, looked at Minister Qian, and came to Mu Yexiao's side: "My Lord, I have a question for you."
"I knew your last hope was to have a happy marriage, but I deliberately sabotaged it, just because I loved you so much. Can such a thing be forgiven?"
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "Of course not. Isn't this playing with my life? You will be beheaded."
Qian Jiujiu then looked at Minister Qian and said, "So, father, you wanted to harm your daughter until the end. In fact, wouldn't it be better if you just told me what happened in the past?"
"I don't think my father is so unreasonable. At least he knows that ignorance is not a crime. But what does it mean that you want your daughter to die?"
Minister Qian was suddenly a little embarrassed, but Qian Jiujiu did not stop the topic. Instead, she looked at Minister Qian and said, "Father, I am not saying anything bad about you, even though you and Madam Qian have a deep love for each other."
"You love Miss Qian deeply, but look at your grandmother, with her gray hair, who has to accompany you in jail. Look at your second uncle and the others, they are all innocent."
"Just because of your partiality, your misguided love, are you going to let all these people be buried with you? And even take your daughter with you?"
At this point, Qian Jiujiu's face was filled with sorrow: "Father, I know that you have always regarded me as your nemesis, but father, what on earth did I do to you?"
"It's fine if you have no feelings for my daughter, but the Qian family still has so many people. In the final analysis, my daughter is innocent in this matter, and she even did it for the Qian family."
"You worked hard to cure the prince and kept the secret, but what about Miss Qian? Seeing that your daughter cured the prince of poison, you want to snatch the prince back. How can it be so easy?"
"My daughter just refused, but what about her? She actually ran away by herself, and even dragged everyone in the Qian family into it."
"Father, are you really going to protect my eldest sister?"
