Chapter 167 Give Everyone a Decent

The matter between Yan Ming and Qi Xuefei was quite troublesome.

The reason is that today is the day when Yan Zhixuan, the princess of Rongwang Mansion, leaves the court, and she is marrying the dandy son of Beiyang Hou Mansion, the eldest grandson of Beiyang Hou Mansion that Yan Donghuang selected for her.

Because it was the princess of the royal palace who came out of the cabinet, the battle to find a wife was quite big.

Yan Ming was invited to the wedding banquet.

The second wife of the Qi family and their daughter Qi Xuefei also attended the wedding banquet. The guests in the front hall were enjoying the wedding wine in a lively manner. Suddenly someone among the female relatives in the inner hall noticed that the girl from the Qi family was missing.

Taifu Qi was an important minister in the court, highly regarded by the emperor, and the new emperor also respected him.

The granddaughter of the Taifu family disappeared in the Hou Mansion, so naturally someone had to be sent to look for her.

Unexpectedly, they saw King Jingjun and Qi Xuefei in the side room, both of whom were disheveled. Not only the maid of the Hou Mansion saw this with her own eyes, but other female guests also encountered this scene. At that time, they were so embarrassed that they felt ashamed to see others.

Once this kind of thing is discovered, there will be a big fuss.

In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, such a shameful and humiliating event happened. Even though the Beiyang Marquis Mansion was in decline, it still felt unbearable, and even felt that the big day was covered with a layer of shame.

But the situation was serious, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion did not dare to make the decision herself, so she quickly sent someone to invite Qi Fangfei. Qi Fangfei was a female imperial official and must be well-spoken in the Qi family. It was definitely right to invite her over first.

After Qi Fangfei arrived at the Hou Mansion, she first confirmed the truth of the matter, and then wanted to know whether her cousin had been drugged or whether she was willing to do so. After a few questions, she saw that she refused to say anything, while Mrs. Qi Er refused to give up and said In broad daylight, King Jing ruined her daughter's reputation, and King Jing must be held responsible.

Qi Fangfei had an idea in her mind.

She didn't make any decision and sent someone directly back to inform her grandfather.

"So King Jingjun will promise to be responsible for Miss Qi to the end?" Yan Donghuang asked calmly.

Qi Fangfei nodded: "Yes."

Yan Donghuang's face was calm, and his voice was hard to distinguish between emotion and anger: "You, my cousin, want to climb a high tree?"

Qi Fangfei lowered her head: "After I canceled my engagement with King Jingjun a few months ago, my second aunt expressed to my face that I wanted me to give up the marriage to my cousin. I said they were not suitable, but my second aunt didn't think so and thought it was me. Not willing to match up.”

She didn't want Qi Xuefei to wade into muddy waters.

Even though there is a bad relationship between their cousins, Qi Xuefei is a member of the Qi family, and her actions are closely related to the honor and disgrace of the Qi family.

If something really happened, the rest of the Qi family wouldn't be able to escape.

She thought that the second aunt would at most ask someone to ask what Yan Ming meant. If Yan Ming really wanted to come to propose marriage, her grandfather would definitely not agree.

I didn't expect... I didn't expect that such a big scandal would happen.

Qi Fangfei's face was extremely ugly.

My grandfather maintained his noble reputation all his life, but today it was completely ruined at the hands of Qi Xuefei.

"You should get up first." Yan Donghuang said calmly, "I believe that Master Taifu will handle this matter well."

"yes."

At this time, the Qi family was already in turmoil.

Not only was Taifu Qi's noble reputation tarnished, but the majesty of the head of the family faced unprecedented challenges.

Mrs. Xu, the second wife of the Qi family, blushed and argued fiercely: "Xue Fei has never deliberately attached herself to Prince Jing. What happened today was just an accident. But since it has happened, for the sake of Xue Fei's reputation, isn't it right? Should Prince Jing be held responsible?”

The head of the second household, Qi Xuefei's father, knelt on the ground: "Father, the matter has come to an end, why not let King Jingjun marry Xuefei."

Qi Xuefei knelt aside and wiped away tears, her face pale and looking sad.

"Master Taifu." Yan Ming bowed to apologize, "Although what happened today was unintentional, I do have an unshirkable responsibility. I am willing to marry Miss Xuefei with a heavy offer, and I hope that Master Taifu will fulfill my promise."

Taifu Qi looked indifferent: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, but the Qi family dare not accept it."

Yan Ming's heart sank: "Master Taifu——"

"Your Majesty, please come back." Taifu Qi turned his head and ordered coldly, "Someone, please send Prince Jing off."

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Yan Ming tightened his lips and looked at Qi Xuefei who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word. Then he looked up at Mrs. Qi with a cold expression. His hands hanging by his side slowly clenched: "My daughter's family is extremely honorable. important--"

"It turns out that King Jingjun knows that the reputation of his daughter's family is important." Taifu Qi said in a blunt tone, "Beiyang Mansion was once the mother clan of the late Queen Mother. Even though the children in the family are not very successful, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the rules are always there. There is no mistake. The male guests are in the front hall, and the female guests are in the inner hall. I can't imagine how Prince Jing and Xue Fei could appear in the same room at the same time."

Yan Ming's face changed slightly: "Master Taifu, please listen to my explanation."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain." Taifu Qi coldly issued an order to exclude guests, "Please come."

Yan Ming had a sullen face and remained silent for a long time before he said, "I hope that the Master Taifu will think about it carefully. I will take my leave first."

After that, he gave Qi Xuefei a comforting look, then turned and left.

Xu's eyes turned red: "Xue Fei finally found such a marriage, why did her father have to oppose it? Is it because King Jingjun was Qi Fangfei's fiancé? But Qi Fangfei didn't want him, and King Jing was willing to marry Xue Fei. What's wrong with Fei? After all, she was a county princess!"

"Shut up!" Taifu Qi looked at her coldly with an angry look on his face: "So what happened today was exactly what you wanted?"

"I..." Mrs. Xu looked panicked for a moment, and then defended, "How could it be? I don't know at all, it's just... it's just that since it has happened..."

"Now that things have come to this, give her a decent treatment." Master Qi closed his eyes and turned to walk into the house. "Second brother, you not only have a daughter named Xuefei, but also two sons. If you care about the careers of your two sons, you should handle this matter as soon as possible and give everyone a decent treatment. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

When the words fell, everyone present was stunned

"Mother..." Qi Xuefei's voice trembled. She looked up at her mother and had an ominous premonition in her heart. "What does grandpa mean by this?"

Xu's face turned pale and she knelt on the ground in disbelief.
