Chapter 449 How Can You Get Rich without Robbing?

Qi Xiuwei's smile froze.

"Master Pei, what do you want to see the princess for? Today the princess is traveling with the Crown Prince and has not come to the National Academy."

So that's the case...

Pei Yin's face had no extra expression, so Qi Xiuwei couldn't guess anything.

He just nodded lightly: "I know, thank you."

Pei Yin turned around and left, as cold as usual.

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around, and found that Qi Xiuwei was still staring at him eagerly.

Qi Xiuwei didn't expect Pei Yin to look back at all, she quickly pursed her lips to hide the sadness on her face.

"Goodbye, Master Pei." She smiled gently and waved.

Although Pei Yin didn't come to her this time, maybe he came to Ningning for business?

In any case, the secret letters between the two of them should not be known to too many people.

So, Pei Yin didn't make it public, and Qi Xiuwei decided not to mention it outside.

Pei Yin turned back, for no other reason, his two deep eyes fell on a scar on Qi Xiuwei's hand.

There was an obvious blood scab near the base of the white palm.

Pei Yin slowly frowned.

Miss Qi's hand was injured even though she was so clever?

Just when Qi Xiuwei blinked and found that Pei Yin had been looking at her without saying a word.

Pei Yin suddenly stepped forward and walked towards her.

"This is the golden wound medicine in the palace, which has a miraculous effect on treating external injuries. I give it to you."

Qi Xiuwei was flattered and suddenly opened her gentle almond eyes.

Her ears were red: "I, I...really give it to me?"

Pei Yin nodded, his eyes were deep and calm, but Qi Xiuwei, who was moved, could see that he was a bit warm and gentle.

"One bottle is a lot, if you can't use it up, you can share it with your friends." He said cryptically.

Because Pei Yin just remembered that Shen Ningning was with the prince, and there was all kinds of golden wound medicine.

If he gave it to her openly, first of all, he didn't know if it would be abrupt and offensive.

Secondly, he felt that Qi Xiuwei's blood scab looked very scary. As long as her palm was slightly opened, the wound on the tiger's mouth would definitely bleed again.

Pei Yin simply gave it to her. Qi Xiuwei and Shen Ningning had a good relationship, and the two would definitely share it.

Pei Yin said, and then left. This time he really didn't look back.

Qi Xiuwei covered the golden wound medicine with both hands, as if holding her warm heart.

Ye Shangyi came out of the National Academy and saw her standing there alone and laughing foolishly.

"Huh? Why haven't you left yet? Why are you smiling like a peach blossom?"

Qi Xiuwei was originally introverted and shy. Hearing this, her face was even redder like a boiled cherry.

She gently glared at Ye Shangyi.

"Hate, Shangyi, don't tease me, I'm going home." Qi Xiuwei said, and left with a smile.

Ye Shangyi was surprised by her expression, which was so sweet that it was visible to the naked eye.

Qi Xiuwei returned home and carefully put away the golden wound medicine to avoid being discovered by her grandmother.

However, as soon as she returned home, she was taken to the room of Mrs. Qi by the maid.

Her mother, Yu, knelt on the ground with messy hair and covered her face with tears. It was obvious that she had just been beaten.

On the other hand, Mrs. Qi sat on a high seat with a teacup in her hand, looking mean and cold.

Qi Xiuwei saw her mother being beaten, and her good mood was swept away.

"Mother!" She rushed over and hugged the crying Yu with her weak body.

Then, Qi Xiuwei raised her head angrily: "Grandmother, why did you beat my mother again? After she married my father, she was the mistress. You have repeatedly embarrassed her, and recently it has been too much. You even beat her with your hands. If someone sees it, how will they talk about you!"

The injury on Qi Xiuwei's palm was not accidental.

Rather, the last time, Madam Qi got the whereabouts of the prince from somewhere and knew that the prince would pass through the ancient road. She insisted that Qi Xiuwei go over and pretend that the carriage was broken, and force an encounter.

Qi Xiuwei resisted fiercely, and Madam Qi couldn't hit her, fearing that she would leave scars and be seen by people from the National Academy.

So she sent the old maid to hold down her daughter-in-law Yu to threaten Qi Xiuwei.

While the mother and daughter struggled and cried, Qi Xiuwei broke the teacup, grabbed the broken porcelain, and pressed it against her neck.

She threatened fiercely with red eyes: "Grandmother, if you force me again, I will die! Auntie has stopped listening to you. When I die, you will have no one to control you."

Madam Qi stopped.

Qi Xiuwei thought she would not embarrass them again, but she didn't expect that she would face such a scene again when she returned home this time.

Yu covered her face and cried, and Madam Qi was indifferent to Qi Xiuwei's questioning.

Instead, she said coldly: "Your mother is not presentable, no wonder you don't know anything. This time I will ask your father to find an opportunity to arrange for you to accompany the prince to Pingyuan Village to help the poor villagers."

"Princess Funing will also go. You must remember that you are not going to this village to help anyone, but to leave a very good impression in front of the prince. I just discussed it with your mother, and she wanted to disobey me. Do you think she should be beaten?"

Qi Xiuwei was stunned, and the disgust in her eyes was not concealed.

"I won't go! Ningning and the prince have already set off, what else should I go for?"

"Of course I have to rob! Stupid, if you don't rob, how can you get rich? If you don't rob, how can you become someone around the prince with your beauty?"

Qi Xiuwei was really fed up.

Ever since her aunt Concubine Qi cut off contact with her family, her grandmother has been crazy about using her to cling to the powerful.

At this moment, all the grievances and forbearance burst out.

Qi Xiuwei screamed and cried at Old Lady Qi: "If you want to go, go by yourself. You still have your charm. You can seduce the emperor or the King of Shu. It's up to you!"

"No wonder Ningning's mother was forced away by you, and my aunt also broke off relations with us. You use all the daughters of the Qi family as bargaining chips. You are extremely selfish!"

Old Lady Qi was completely enraged: "You! You are so presumptuous and treasonous!"

Old Lady Qi was shaking with anger.

"Without my planning and selfishness, how could the Qi family have the glory it has now, and how did you get the luxurious clothes and food you enjoy every day?"

This is how Old Master Qi made his fortune.

After marrying Old Lady Qi, who had a very powerful family background, Old Master Qi's official position became smoother and smoother.

Later, when he had a daughter, he trained her to be a concubine and sent her to the palace.

Madam Qi was naturally ambitious. She planned step by step and believed that if the Qi family continued to develop in this way, sooner or later, their daughter would be able to enter the palace and become the queen.

She never expected that the girls she trained would rebel against her one after another.

Shen Siyi was the first person who disobeyed her discipline.

Originally, Madam Qi saw that she was beautiful and eloquent, so she was willing to treat her as the adopted daughter of the Qi family and take good care of her.

As a result, Shen Siyi did not want to enter the palace as a concubine, and later she did such a ridiculous thing as eloping with Xie Suzhi.

In comparison, Madam Qi's own daughter, Concubine Qi Jingchun, was much more obedient. Although she resisted for a while, she still listened to her obediently in the end.

Now she is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace. It's a pity that after Qi Jingchun was banished to the cold palace, Madam Qi thought she was useless and gave up this chess piece.

Unexpectedly, now Qi Jingchun is favored again, she directly cuts off contact with the Qi family, as if they were strangers.

The only one that Old Lady Qi can train is Qi Xiuwei.

However, Qi Xiuwei is even more disobedient than the previous two!

Old Lady Qi now only regrets why she didn't agree to let Old Master Qi take a concubine, at least give birth to a few concubines, and not let her be alone now.

Looking at Qi Xiuwei's fragile face, all stubbornness.

That look reminded Old Lady Qi of the unruly Shen Siyi and Qi Jingchun who threatened to leave home when he was young.

She hated it so much.

With a twisted face with wrinkles, she ordered the maids: "Take this unfilial daughter to me and slap her hard a few times, and see if she dares to do anything else!" (End of this chapter)
