After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 12 Accountability
When Qi Jiuzhu woke up, Mrs. He Jing told her that Wei Xuan had left last night, leaving only a letter.

Fortunately, that Wei Langjun acted properly, he wrote to his elder brother last night, saying that a group of thieves came to Lanji Temple last night, His Royal Highness sent people to investigate Lanji Temple, in order to find out the traces of those thieves, he ordered people to close it After entering the gate of the temple, he sent people to guard the temple and strictly checked the entry and exit of the gang of thieves.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also considered that it would be unsafe for the female relatives in the temple to go down the mountain late at night, so Mrs. He Jing helped the female relatives to rest in the Zen room for a night.

Early this morning, her elder brother personally took her back to the mansion. When she left Lanji Temple, she did see a team of Jinwu guards standing at the gate, and the Jinwu guards were questioning passers-by.

In the end, Jinwu Guards caught a few suspicious people, and they withdrew to the East Palace to return to their orders.

Qi Jiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was all thanks to the Crown Prince, if it wasn't for this gang of thieves, she would still have to find excuses for not returning home all night.

As soon as Qi Jiuzhu returned to Qi's mansion, the letter of divorce had already been delivered to Qi Shang of Liuxiangyuan.

Seeing that Qi Shang's face was not very good-looking, the boy who sent the letter told Lu Mingtan's original words: "My family Lu Langjun said that he was alone in the fault of retiring the engagement, and it has nothing to do with the wife of the Qi family. It should only be an apology gift from the General Zhen Guo's mansion to the Qi family."

The divorce was so sudden, Qi Shang still felt unwilling to give up, so he hurriedly chased him out to ask the reason, but the young man only said: I really don't have any specific reasons, so please don't ask more questions, my lord.

Although the Lu family canceled the marriage, they still left an apology, and the attitude of the messenger boy was also very kind. Qi Shang still had a dark face, holding his breath, and returned to Liuxiangyuan, sighing again and again, without saying a word .

Chen Yao watched his face come forward, and squeezed his shoulders for him. Although she had a smile on her face, she was extremely irritable in her heart. She thought that she would definitely succeed in Lanji Temple last night, but this morning, Qi Shao unexpectedly He personally went to pick up Qi Jiuzhu, not only did Qi Jiuzhu come back unscathed, the marriage between the Qi family and the Lu family was ruined.

There was a lot of anger in her heart, and she persuaded Qi Shangwen subduedly: "I don't know what kind of bad luck this child, Jiu Zhu, has had. It's a good marriage, but he was dismissed when he said he would quit. This child's mother left." Morning, the lord should go to comfort her personally. If the child can't think about it because of this, and leaves a heartache, it will be bad."

Qi Shang snorted coldly, and said impatiently: "Don't go, I'm just upset!"

Chen Yao brought the tea to Qi Shang's mouth, and asked tentatively, "Did the Lu family tell you the reason for the divorce?"

"When I mention this, I get angry. The Lu family only said that it was Lu Mingtan's fault, but they refused to say anything. The good marriage was canceled, but they didn't even give a reason."

Chen Yao was silent for a moment, pretending to be in deep thought, and then muttered in a low voice: "Lu Langjun is a charming son of heaven, he was born noble, talented in writing, and quite filial, I really can't think of any faults in him? "

"He's not wrong, could it be Jiuzhu's fault!" Qi Shang blurted out with anger in his heart.

Chen Yao used a smile to hide her inner pride. After losing this good relationship, she was so sad that she couldn't speak out, so she pretended to explain for Qi Jiuzhu: "Jiuzhu is smart and capable, and she is good at everything. What can she do? Mistakes, my lord, don't blame Jiuzhu by mistake."

The more Chen Yao said so, the more Qi Shang felt that the problem was with Qi Jiuzhu.

General Lu is kind to him. He is just a small general under General Lu, but he injured a leg to save the general. Lower your status and marry the Qi family.

General Lu's kindness to him was as great as a mountain, and he had seen Lu Mingtan before.

What's more, when the young servant of the Lu family came to deliver the letter, he hesitated and murmured. From the left and right, he must have made a big mistake because of Qi Jiuzhu.

How magnanimous General Lu is, and how profoundly righteous Lu Mingtan is, even if the Qi family is at fault, he doesn't want the Qi family to be embarrassed.

It was he who was ashamed of General Lu.

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he was, and he clenched his fists, feeling even more angry, "Go and call Qi Jiuzhu!"

Chen Yao deliberately said a few innocuous words to intercede for Qi Jiuzhu: "My lord, don't be angry, even if Jiuzhu made a small mistake, she is still just a child, the lord can just say a few words to her, don't punish her." As far as she is concerned, this child is already weak, and I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the punishment of the lord."

"Hmph, we've already reached the age to discuss marriage, and sooner or later we're going to marry a woman. Only you still think she's just a child, a loving mother with a lot of failures, you just indulged her too much."

As soon as Qi Jiuzhu returned to Yanhuiyuan, Liuxiangyuan sent someone to invite him, saying that it was about the Lu family's divorce, and the lord wanted to ask questions.

Qi Shao was really worried that Qi Jiuzhu would go alone. He knew his father too well. His father was born in martial arts and had a hot temper. With Chen Yao as a hindrance, he fanned the flames from the sidelines. He was afraid that the questioning would be false, but accountability would be true.

"Sister, your wind and cold are getting worse, and your body has not recovered yet. Brother will go with you."

Qi Jiuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, my sister will deal with it, but brother, don't push yourself for my sister later."

The elder brother is impatient and careless, while Chen Yao is cunning and good at manipulating people's hearts. In the end, it is the elder brother who suffers, besides, Hui'er is still in Chen's hands.

"Don't worry, sister." He understood Qi Jiuzhu's worry.

He is no longer the impulsive boy he was back then, he must protect his sister and young brother.

As soon as she entered the gate of Liuxiangyuan, Qi Jiuzhu saw Qi Shang's livid face and Chen Yao's smug smile. She had already heard about the divorce of the Lu family when she returned home, and she also guessed that although the marriage was withdrawn smoothly, But sooner or later we have to pass today's level.

Fortunately, the marriage was called off after all, and she got her life back, even if she was punished, she would admit it.

She glanced at the letter of resignation on the table, and said hello calmly, "Jiuzhu greets Aye, Aunt Chen."

Qi Shang glanced at Qi Shao, and said: "I have a few words for my father to ask Jiuzhu, this is none of your business, you go back to your room first."

"Aye, just ask, my sister's business is my business."

"You..." He grabbed the letter of resignation on the table and threw it at Qi Shao, but since he lost a leg, he can no longer practice martial arts, his hands are weak, and the paper is still a long way from Qi Shao A distance, but fell vertically.

Qi Shao frowned, feeling a little bit sorry for his father, his father spent half his life as a soldier, but in the end he could no longer go to the battlefield, and he could no longer practice martial arts. As his father grew older, his beard and hair were graying, and his body was not as good as before.

He regarded his father as the person he respected the most since he was a child, but his mother passed away and his father was instigated by Chen Yao, so he gradually became estranged from their siblings.

He softened his tone and said: "Why is Aye so angry? Is there anything that the whole family can't sit down and talk about calmly."

Chen Yao also acted as a good wife and loving mother at the right time, and pretended to persuade her: "Shaoer is right, the Lord must have made a mistake, for a sensible child like Jiuzhu, she is knowledgeable, gentle, and the most kind." Shouli, the matter of retiring the engagement is definitely not her business."

"The Lu family's divorce has nothing to do with my sister, even if there is a mistake, it is also Lu Mingtan's fault."
