Chapter 143 My Father Cannot Bear This Title
King Rui looked at the energetic and sharp-eyed old man in front of him and immediately thought of who he was.
Isn’t this Ajin’s father?
It's not his fault that he didn't know. The truth is that although they were attending court in the same hall, the two of them were standing very far apart, and the old man always walked very fast after leaving court, so there was basically no intersection between them.
Even if he met her before, he wouldn't even look at her twice. After all, he couldn't say he liked A Jin at that time, and he even hated her very much later.
Thinking about the rumors in the past two days, I guessed that this might be someone who came to cause trouble for me.
However, even though he knew this, Qi Heng still politely bowed to Qiao Yunshan and said, "My father-in-law, how are you?"
"See His Highness Prince Rui."
When Qi Heng saluted him, Qiao Yunshan also saluted immediately, and the two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Hearing His Royal Highness Prince Rui calling him father-in-law, Qiao Yunshan was not happy at all, and even his eyes turned cold. However, he hid it in the end, and said respectfully and coldly, "Your Highness Prince Rui, please embarrass me. I cannot bear the name of father-in-law. Your Highness Prince Rui can just call me by my name or Lord Qiao."
Anyone can see the meaning of alienation.
Seeing the two people talking here, a scene that would never happen on ordinary days, many people passing by stopped and pricked up their ears to listen.
A lot of things have happened in Prince Rui's Mansion recently. The protagonist is the daughter of Lord Qiao, the woman who was just promoted to Prince Rui's concubine by the Emperor. To be honest, what Prince Rui did was really unkind. He treated Lord Qiao's daughter very badly. It is normal for a father to seek justice for his daughter.
Of course Qi Heng saw people watching over here, but he didn't care.
Because he had to concentrate on dealing with the father-in-law in front of him who obviously hated him, thinking that anything he said now would be redundant, Qi Heng really didn't know what to say for a moment. However, he still had to break the silence, "Okay, then I will call you Master Qiao. Master Qiao, I know that it was me who wronged Ah Jin, but..."
"I don't care about your Highness Prince Rui's family affairs. I came here today just to talk to your Highness Prince Rui about something else." Qiao Yunshan rarely interrupted Prince Rui. Normally, he would never do such an annoying and impolite thing. It was because after hearing Prince Rui's words, he couldn't suppress his anger, so he interrupted him decisively. However, thinking that he needed help from others, he quickly hid his anger.
If Prince Rui didn't allow his daughter to see him, then he would be helpless, so Prince Rui couldn't be offended.
Qi Heng sighed, knowing that he was in the wrong, and was not angry. He just said, "You say."
"I want to see my daughter. Your Highness, please make an exception. Please send someone to inform me and my wife when you think it is a suitable time. I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Rui very much." After saying this, Qiao Yunshan bowed deeply to Prince Rui. His attitude was very respectful, the same as that of ordinary officials when meeting royal relatives and nobles. No one could find fault with him.
Hearing this, Qi Heng nodded. So that was the matter. They were not here to cause trouble for him. In fact, their attitude was quite respectful. Qi Heng didn't know why, but he felt empty in his heart.
Thinking about the rumors of the past two days, he was sorry for Ah Jin. When he heard that Chen was injured like that, he didn't think about anything else at all. He just wanted to bring her back for treatment. Ah Jin was being gossiped about behind her back these days. I'm afraid she must be very angry? No, maybe she wasn't angry, because she didn't care about him at all. Thinking of this, Qi Heng felt a little regretful for the first time.
Shouldn't he have done that at that time? If he hadn't done that, would Ah Jin have some feelings for him now? Qi Heng stood there in a trance.
Qiao Yunshan's brows were furrowed like a caterpillar, but he still did not urge Prince Rui. He just waited quietly for a response.
No matter what, he had to see his daughter. If Prince Rui disagreed, he would go to court to block him every day.
Just as Qiao Yunshan was thinking about this and that, Prince Rui spoke, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yunshan's eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Rui."
"You're welcome. I'll go back and tell Ah Jin, and then have someone go to the Qiao Mansion to let you know."
"Thank you."
Then, Qiao Yunshan achieved his goal, so he respectfully took his leave and left without looking back.
Seeing that there was no good show, the people around left the scene with lack of interest.
Qi Heng stood there for a moment and then left.
Prince's Palace, Begonia Courtyard.
Seeing Prince Rui suddenly coming over today, Qiao Rongjin was a little surprised, but he still came over to pay his respects as usual.
"Your Majesty is well."
"Father is well."
Yes, Qiao Rongjin and his son were about to eat.
"Qinglian, bring another pair of chopsticks."
"Yes."
Then, the original two people became three people.
Qi Heng looked at Qiao Rongjin who was eating quietly, and his fifth son who was still cold and distant to him. He felt a little uncomfortable eating, but he finally spoke first, "Ajin, my father-in-law came to see me today."
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked up at Prince Rui with a puzzled look on his face.
I didn't react for a while.
This A Jin was calling herself, so she was really confused by the name of her father-in-law.
Qi You understood it immediately, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head, a cold sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and ate quietly.
My mother said that children should not worry about adults’ affairs.
Seeing the woman in front of him looking at him in confusion, Qi Heng explained again, "Oh, it's your father."
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked at Prince Rui speechlessly and said directly, "Then Your Majesty, why don't you just call me your father? What father-in-law? My father is not worthy of this title. You can just call me by my name or Lord Qiao."
Hearing this, Qi Heng's eyes grew dim. As expected, the two were indeed father and daughter, as they spoke in the same way.
It can also be seen from here that I am really not liked by both father and daughter.
When Qi You heard this, a smile appeared in his lowered eyes and he felt much better.
"Ajin, are you still angry with me? I know you have suffered a lot in the past two days. I was not thoughtful enough and didn't..."
Qiao Rongjin hated hearing these disgusting words during meals, so he interrupted Prince Rui with a smile, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? How could you be wrong? By the way, what did my father say to you?"
Qiao Rongjin was more interested in what the original owner's father and King Rui had said. They hadn't seen each other for a few years. What happened today?
Could it be something that happened these days?
That should be the case. The original owner was very favored at home. He only had one daughter, and everyone in the family liked her. It was normal for him to look for Prince Rui when he heard that his daughter had been wronged. However, Prince Rui was not a kind-hearted man, and he was not favored either. If his father said something he shouldn't have, would Prince Rui make things difficult for him?
Thinking of this, Qiao Rongjin could no longer sit still. The original owner's father was a good man, both as a person and as an official, so, emotionally and logically, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
"Your Majesty, if my father said something that upset you, please don't hold it against him for the sake of my years of serving you. He is also missing his daughter. Since I entered the palace, I have never been back to the Qiao Mansion to visit them. Now that they know those things, they are just worried about me, and they don't have any bad intentions."
