Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1301 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 23

"Someone is coming."

The first thing Qi Xun did upon returning home was to have someone quickly bring over his good-for-nothing youngest son.

Qi Ye: ? ? ?

What's wrong with Dad late at night?

Will he find out that he sold the shop?

But that shop was his maternal grandmother's private property; his father shouldn't know about it...

Qi Ye, his mind full of questions, tidied himself up haphazardly and followed the servant to the study.

When we got there...

Good guy.

His mother was there, and his older brother was there too.

what the hell?!

Qi Ye's heart was pounding. He began to reflect on himself during this period. He wondered if he had done anything serious.

Upon seeing Qi Ye, Qi Xun frowned, "Why are your clothes not in such a neat and tidy state?"

After the training, I took another careful look.

Hey~

Don't tell me.

Judging from his appearance, his son is indeed quite handsome.

Qi Ye's lips twitched, and he raised his hand to straighten his clothes, saying casually, "Isn't it because your son called urgently? I was afraid of delaying your business, so I rushed over."

"Your Highness, what is the matter?"

The Regent's wife wore a very unfriendly smile.

It's the middle of the night, let's get down to business.

You might want to stay up all night and kill yourself, but she needs to sleep!

"cough."

When the topic turned to business, a hint of guilt flashed in Qi Xun's eyes, "This..."

"Could it be that you've been keeping a mistress outside the marriage, and she's given you a son?"

The Regent's wife sensed something was wrong when she saw his expression.

With expressions that screamed "Something's wrong" and "I'm so sorry to you all," not only the Regent's Consort, but also Prince Qi and Qi Ye sensed something was amiss.

"Nothing."

Qi Xun waved his hand, "That's right, I, cough, have found a good family for Ye'er."

It was originally Ye'er's marriage.

The mother and her two children breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Ye shrugged slightly. "Dad, is that all? Why don't you just discuss it with Mom?"

The Regent's wife didn't think much of it at first, and asked curiously, "Which noble family's daughter is she?"

However, the Crown Prince Qi, after carefully considering Qi Xun's choice of words and observing his demeanor, tentatively asked, "Father, is this choice perhaps somewhat special?"

If she were a normal noblewoman from a prominent family, her father wouldn't have this kind of expression.

"Ye'er~"

Qi Xun called out gently.

That loving yet eerily kind attitude made Qi Ye tremble all over and kneel down with a "thud," saying, "Father, let's talk this out."

Your attitude is...

He really thinks his own father is going to send him to the guillotine!

"Then I'll tell you straight."

Qi Xun was indeed not cut out to be a doting father. After saying that, his expression turned serious. "Shu Jiao, you all know about this, right?"

That's something they definitely know.

More than half the people in the capital know about it.

After all, Shu Jiao is the only wealthy businesswoman in Beijing who is so arrogant and wears the words "I am the richest person in the world" on her sleeve.

and many more……

"Your Majesty!"

The Regent's wife slammed the teacup containing the invigorating tea onto the table. "Shu Jiao's daughter is only eight years old!"

Is the prince out of his mind?!

Does he not even spare little girls?

Prince Qi also looked disapproving.

Qi Xun: "It's not her daughter, it's Shu Jiao."

"Are you crazy?"

The Regent's wife slammed her hand on the table, making the teacup rattle. "You want my son to become a merchant's stepfather, and you even get an eight-year-old daughter for free? Your Highness, you... if you're sick, call the royal physician!"

She doesn't agree to this marriage!

"father,"

The way the young master looked at Qi Xun was hard to describe. "Our family isn't that short of money."

You're supposed to be a regent, how could you do something like selling your son for money?

He also disagrees with this marriage!

Qi Ye: ? ? ?

"father,"

Qi Ye's handsome face was almost scrunched up. "Our son does spend a lot of money, but you don't need to... How about I spend less in the future?"

"Can't you three at all let me finish what I have to say?!"

Qi Xun was so frustrated by everyone's comments that he almost had a heart attack, so he quickly told them about the high-yield grain varieties.

Instantly, the entire study fell silent.

Prince Qi: We're doomed, I can't protect my brother anymore.

The Regent's Wife: Oh no, my youngest son will have to wash his hands of his marriage and become someone else's stepfather.

Two types of grain yielding fifty shi per mu, one type yielding sixty shi per mu, plus the blueprints for that ship.

If his family disagrees, the court officials could kneel to death at the gate of the Regent's Palace.

"To be honest, little brother, you... are quite valuable."

After holding it in for a long time, Prince Qi couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

Qi Ye rolled her eyes at him.

If you can't speak properly, then shut up!

"Ye'er~"

Qi Xun's eyes showed a hint of guilt. "Father had no choice. It's just that she didn't like you, otherwise I would have gone for her myself."

Regent's Wife: ...

You old hag, you really have the nerve to say that.

Do you really think people aren't picky?

Qi Xun: "If I had known about her temper, I should have told you to stay away from the manor. How did you end up running into her?"

Qi Ye: Uh...

Wasn't it just this afternoon when he bumped into someone while selling his shop?

It's all because he was born beautiful; he instantly became a concubine in a play, forcibly taken away.

Qi Ye raised his hand and touched his face. "Alright, Dad."

The family has raised him for so many years; he can't just think of his own well-being.

Besides, he had met Shu Jiao before; she was a beauty and her family was wealthy, so it wasn't a bad deal.

He didn't lose out.

Qi Ye tried to mentally prepare himself.

"Shu Jiao's identity cannot be considered that of an ordinary maritime merchant."

Qi Xun then brought up the fact that Miro Island belonged to Shu Jiao, saying, "She is practically the ruler of a small country, and her prestige is even higher than that of a ruler."

Thinking about it that way, her status does seem appropriate.

Consider it a marriage alliance.

For a moment, the study fell silent again, as the Regent's wife and her two children tried to convince themselves otherwise.

"Then it's settled."

Qi Xun said.

"Your Majesty,"

The Regent's wife frowned slightly. "How do we proceed with the six rites? We can't just send Ye'er to her residence and have her follow her around without any official status, can we?"

Qi Xun: !!

He was so excited about the grain seeds and blueprints that he forgot about the rest for a moment.

"Well, you can discuss this with her. I won't interfere."

Qi Xun let go and left.

The Regent's wife's lips twitched; she wished she could bite this irresponsible guy to death.

"Ye'er—"

The Regent's wife, looking distressed, pulled at Qi Ye, "Your mother made you so handsome, waaaah..."

Qi Ye: ……

Of course.

This is probably the trouble that beauties face.

He's only sixteen!

How can he possibly become the stepfather of an eight-year-old girl?!

Hey~

My head hurts.

Prince Qi also felt quite sorry for his younger brother.

He was born first, so he received all the political resources in the family. His younger brother got nothing except money, and now... he's been sacrificed by his father again.

Hey~

His poor little brother!

"Little brother, don't worry too much. If anything happens, come back home and tell me. Your big brother will always have your back."

"The Prince of Qi said in a deep voice."

"My poor Ye'er~~"

The Regent's wife held Qi Ye tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. "If she goes too far, come back to the manor, and I'll take care of you!"

"It's not that bad."

Qi Ye scratched his head. "Shu Jiao seems to have a pretty good temper."

When discussing business in the afternoon, he spoke politely and was very approachable.
