After Qin Dong finished his court session, he went to the residence of the Earl of Qinghe for a drink. The Earl of Qinghe had a new grandson. Although the Earl of Qinghe was in decline now, he had been a good friend of the Earl of Qinghe for many years, so he had to go to show his support.
But when he returned home, he heard that something had happened at home. The old lady had fainted and the imperial physician had come.
It must be a big deal if it alarmed his son to ignore the court physician and instead ask for the imperial physician.
But he knew his wife's health. Although her health was not good, she had paid great attention to maintenance in recent years in order to see her daughter, and her health had improved a lot.
How could he suddenly become so ill
When he found out the reason, he became even more furious.
No wonder the guests at the banquet tonight acted strangely when they saw him and gathered together whispering. It turned out to be because of this.
“Check it for me!” Donald Qin clenched his fists. His old face was filled with not only anger, but also hidden panic and grief: “If I can’t see A Rui… I don’t believe anything!”
It was only at this time that Qin Dong realized that although he originally thought that his father was old, his father was actually older than he knew. His father was no longer the big tree that could shield him from all wind and rain when he was a child.
He has been slowly decaying, and perhaps a bigger storm will bring him down completely.
The curtains beside the bed were lifted, revealing a pair of skinny, dry hands. Old Lady Qin forced herself to wave at Donald Qin, "Old man... I don't believe it either. A Rui is only a little old. She was in good health. We would send doctors there every year... Didn't they say that she was just weak and couldn't travel? How can you say she's dead?"
She couldn't figure it out, and her tears fell on the back of Qin Dong's hand like beads that had broken off the string. "I don't believe it. How could a healthy person die?!"
Qin Dong choked up and moved his throat. After a while, he held his wife's hand and replied to her: "You are right. Don't worry. The matter has not been investigated clearly yet. It is hard to say who really bribed people to deliberately alienate our family..."
Qin Sheng lowered his head, his hands hanging at his sides, his veins clearly visible from clenching them.
But after comforting his wife, as soon as he arrived in the study, Qin Dong could no longer hide his anger. He asked his son, "What do you think?"
"I have interrogated her." Qin Sheng sat down at his father's signal: "Mother Qin told the truth. Every detail matches. It doesn't seem like she is lying."
Having met countless people, Qin Sheng thought to himself that he was not so easily deceived.
But he actually hoped that Qin's mother would lie.
Qin Dong's face showed an irrepressible sadness.
In fact, he said that over the years, if it were based on his daughter's personality, no matter how poor her health was, she would always come back to visit her parents and younger brother.
He just thought that his daughter had given birth to a child and had her own family, so she had to take care of her own family first - she had given birth to four children, so she was really busy...
How could he be such an incompetent father who didn't even know whether his daughter was alive or dead, and was kept in the dark...
As he was talking, the steward on duty came to report: "Master, Master, we have people keeping an eye on the Qiu family, but we didn't see the Qiu family sending any letters, but the cousin..."
He stopped talking halfway, glanced at the faces of the father and son in the room, and then changed his words: "It was the young master of the Qiu family. He was invited by his classmates to go out for a drink at Fenghuangtai. The host was the Third Young Master Shen of the Pingxi Marquis's family, and the Fourth Young Master of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion and others were accompanying him. It was decided long ago."
At this time, he actually dared to go out and visit others.
Are you really doing nothing wrong, or are you just being reckless
Donald Qin sat behind the long table and listened expressionlessly before asking his son, "The Qiu family is silent, what are they thinking about?"
"Qiu Chuying knows our family. If our family wants to do something to him, we have many ways to do it. If he really did what Mother Qin said, he would not be able to die even if he had a hundred lives. I'm afraid he knows that he can't come up with a countermeasure."
Donald Qin laughed, stood up, opened the window and looked out at the dark night: "If you were really willing to accept your fate, you wouldn't have broken off the engagement and married your sister. When your sister died, you wouldn't have kept it a secret from us. You even dared to pass off your aunt's son as your sister's and bring him to our house."
So Qiu Chuying would not wait to die.
"Look at him." Donald Qin saw his son react and sneered, "When the truth comes out, I will make him pay the price!"
Make him regret coming to this world!
Qin Sheng responded, but before he could say anything else, his wife came back, hurriedly looking embarrassed, and couldn't help sobbing: "Master, Master! Mother... Mother... I'm afraid... ... she's not well!"
Qin Sheng and Qin Dong stood up at the same time and rushed to Old Lady Qin's room.
When people get old, the most taboo thing is to have too much emotional fluctuation. As long as the emotional fluctuation is too large, it is easy to have an accident and sudden death. Old Mrs. Qin was in poor health to begin with, and suddenly such a big thing happened. She was hit so hard that she was knocked down all of a sudden.
The judge of the Confucius Institute shook his head hastily: "I'm afraid this is..."
He sighed, asked someone to lower the tent, clean up the bloodstains for Old Lady Qin, and motioned for the Qin father and son to go out and talk.
"The old lady is so angry that she has an attack on her heart. If it were a young person, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the old lady is old after all, and she has a history of illness... You two should prepare the coffin and give the old lady a wash..."
Qin Dong staggered a few steps and suddenly couldn't stand. He had to rely on his son's support to steady himself.
Qin Shengyi's face was filled with pain, and he anxiously pleaded with the judge, "Judge Kong, please think of a solution..."
Confucius looked embarrassed: "I have never treated the old lady, so I don't know her condition, but the doctor Chang who treated her has returned to his hometown..."
The crying in the room was one after another, making people upset, but Qin Sheng remained sober: "Now, is there any good way..."
Confucius frowned and said, "Doctor Sun might be able to give it a try."
Qin Dong hurriedly asked someone to invite him, and asked the Confucius Institute to ask him to stay at home for another day.
The Confucius Court judge naturally agreed and went downstairs with the maids to rest and wait for orders.
Donald Qin urged his son again: "Don't delay any longer. Your mother can't afford it any longer."
The Qin family's affairs soon spread among the aristocratic circles. The news spread so widely that it was impossible to stop it. Qiu Chuying knelt in front of the King of Chu, curled up her body and begged him to save her life.
The King of Chu still couldn't believe it. He looked at Qiu Chuying who was kneeling below him and asked in an indistinct manner, "Are you really so bold that you dared to force your original wife to death?"
A lie mixed with truth will be considered a lie, but if there is one lie hidden in ten truths, no one can tell the difference.
Qiu Chuying didn't force Qin Rui to death at all, but now he has no way to defend himself.
