Chapter 127 Tell the Truth
On the way Cheng Wenwen took Qi Xing and Qi Qi back, she told them: "There is an old lady at home, she is my grandmother, you can call her great-grandma, she is a very kind person."
Qi Xing asked: "Why not great-grandmother?"
According to Cheng Wenwen's identity, they should call Cheng Wenwen's grandmother great-grandmother.
Cheng Wenwen didn't ask them to call her that because she and Qi Shuo had already separated!
"That's fine, you can call me that if you want!"
"Great, great, we have a great-grandmother now." Qi Qi was happy again.
But before they got home, the carriage was shaking, and the two children, tired after a day's work, leaned against each other and fell asleep.
When they arrived at her house, Cheng Wenwen and Pei'er each picked up one and took them back.
She arranged a room for each of them, and all of a sudden, her binary house was full, and there would be no room for another person.
Old Madam Cheng was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard. When she saw Cheng Wenwen come back with two little babies in her arms, she couldn't help but follow her in confusion.
Seeing the two little babies sleeping, Old Lady Cheng asked Cheng Wenwen: "Whose children are these?"
Cheng Wenwen did not hide it and said, "It's Qi Shuo's."
"Then...how come..."
Mrs. Cheng didn't know how to ask for a moment.
Qi Shuo committed a crime and was sent to prison, and his future life and death is still unknown. If he is really convicted, won’t his two children also be implicated?
Cheng Wenwen just said, "Don't worry, Grandma. Nothing will happen. Since they can enter Beijing safely, it means there is still hope."
Rumor has it that it was the Duke of Ying who escorted Qi Shuo back to Beijing, but if the Duke of Ying really wanted to abandon Qi Shuo, why would he have someone specifically raise his children? He also allowed the two children to come and go freely without any restrictions on their comings and goings.
Obviously, Qi Shuo has not been abandoned by the Duke of England.
Therefore, there is still hope for Qi Shuo, but what exactly will happen is still unknown.
When Old Madam Cheng heard what Cheng Wenwen said, she nodded and said, "Forget it, forget it. After all, I am old. Even if something happens, I have lived enough. It's just that there are some things you have to think clearly about."
Cheng Wenwen said: "Grandma, I know I won't do anything risky. Don't worry, I haven't lived enough!"
Old Madam Cheng couldn't help Cheng Wenwen at all, so she just said, "I'll take care of these two children for you, and you can focus on your business."
Cheng Wenwen laughed and said, "They are really fighting! Grandma, I'm afraid you can't control them."
"Can anyone be as good as your father? I am still good at treating children."
Old Madam Cheng said very proudly.
Cheng Wenwen also laughed: "Okay, okay, you are awesome."
The two of them talked and laughed together, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
In the evening, Xie Shilian suddenly came to visit.
When Cheng Wenwen heard him coming, she quickly asked someone to invite him in.
Xie Shilian is still the elegant young man in my memory, gentle and elegant, with extraordinary bearing.
Cheng Wenwen entertained him in the only living room of the small house, but it was a little awkward just sitting together with him.
"Master Xie, you are here for Qi Xing and Qi Qi, right? Don't worry, they are doing well with me. They are all asleep now. I will send them back tomorrow." Cheng Wenwen went straight to the point and apologized.
Xie Shilian smiled and said, "There is no rush for this matter. You are their legal mother. If you treat them well, they will like you. It is good for them to stay with you."
When Cheng Wenwen heard the word "stepmother", she couldn't help but want to explain.
He just thought about it and gave up. Qi Shuo hasn't come out yet, and his hasty explanation would make it seem like he was trying to distance himself from the matter.
"I'm assured that you can take care of them. If they are willing to stay with you, please take care of them, okay?"
At first, Xie Shilian didn't think that he could ask Cheng Wenwen to take care of the two children.
Xie Shilian had heard Qi Xing and Qi Qi talking about Cheng Wenwen a long time ago. It was obvious that they both liked Cheng Wenwen very much, and Cheng Wenwen must have been nice to them, which was why they liked her.
Xie Shilian was pretty good at judging people and had a good impression of Cheng Wenwen, thinking that she was indeed a good person to take care of the child.
Cheng Wenwen didn't expect that Xie Shilian came this time to ask her to take care of Qi Xing and Qi Qi, so she asked: "How long do I have to take care of them?"
Xie Shilian couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this question. Could it be that Cheng Wenwen didn't want to take care of two children?
However, Xie Shilian still answered her question and said, "It will be fine once Qi Shuo comes out. During this time, if you need any help, just come to me."
Cheng Wenwen didn't expect that Xie Shilian really intended to ask her to raise the child.
However, after hearing what Qi Shuo said, Cheng Wenwen couldn't help but feel more relieved. It seemed that the Duke of England's Mansion really had not given up on Qi Shuo.
Cheng Wenwen said, "Okay! Then I'll take care of them both, and when Qi Shuo comes out, I'll leave them to him."
Xie Shilian smiled and said to Cheng Wenwen, "Don't worry, Qi Shuo will definitely come out."
"it is good!"
With Xie Shilian's words, Cheng Wenwen felt more relieved. She just hoped that Qi Shuo would come out soon and nothing would happen to him. These two children no longer had a biological mother, and how pitiful they would be if they also didn't have a biological father.
After Xie Shilian explained these things, he left. Before leaving, he also asked someone to stay and guard outside Cheng Wenwen's house to protect them.
Cheng Wenwen didn't know all this.
After Xie Shilian left Cheng Wenwen, he went all the way to the Dali Temple and asked someone to go in and meet Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo has been through a lot these days and there is not a single piece of good flesh on his body.
When Xie Shilian saw Qi Shuo like this, he immediately became angry and asked the jailer, "How dare you use such a severe punishment on him?"
The jailer immediately explained: "Thank you, Master. This is an order from above. We have no other choice!"
"Get out!"
Xie Shilian was so angry that he kept a record of this grudge in his heart. Qiu Changye was just a commoner in the past, but now he has become the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, just because he fawned on that bastard emperor.
Xie Shilian felt a pain in his heart when he saw him like this, and said angrily: "A Shuo, wait a little longer, father will find evidence soon!"
In the battle of Shanzhou City, someone actually lured Qi Shuo out of the city deliberately. Qi Shuo was then betrayed by people close to him and almost died on the battlefield.
He was the only one who returned, as 20,000 soldiers had died. However, he managed to return to the city despite his injuries and asked the only people in the city to defend Shanzhou.
Shanzhou is a fortress. If it is really breached, most of the territory in the northwest will be controlled.
However, he single-handedly defended Shanzhou, but was still blamed.
The court also took this opportunity to interrogate him about the secrets of the Xie family.
They thought that Qi Shuo, as an adopted son, didn't have much affection for the Xie family, but they were wrong. Qi Shuo and the Xie family truly had blood ties.
Qi Shuo was tied to the cross. He raised his head slightly, a smile appeared on his dirty face, and he said, "Brother, I believe in you."
Xie Shilian raised his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, saying, "Hold on! Father has sent a pigeon back, and the evidence is on the way."
"Okay!" Qi Shuo nodded, and then told him: "Brother, leave quickly, don't let anyone catch you!"
Xie Shilian just said: "No, we in the Duke's Mansion have already sacrificed our relatives for the sake of justice, what can we use to hold them responsible!"
"It's better to be cautious."
Xie Shilian sighed, then whispered a few words into Qi Shuo's ear and nodded to him.
Qi Shuo looked him in the eye with a heavy heart and said, "Brother, let's go!"
Xie Shilian was about to leave, but Qiu Changye came at this moment and the two bumped into each other.
"Hey! Prince Xie! Are you here to see your brother?" Qiu Changye asked with a smile.
When Xie Shilian saw him, he put away his anger and replied with a smile, "Yes! After all, we are brothers. Come and take a look. Seeing so many wounds on his body, it really makes me feel a little sad."
"Your Highness, are you feeling distressed? What can we do? He refuses to understand the whole story, so we can only torture him! Your Highness might as well try to persuade him, so as to avoid physical pain."
Qiu Changye looked at Xie Shilian meaningfully, not missing any emotion on his face.
Xie Shilian bit his teeth and smiled, "Yes! I was just trying to persuade Qi Shuo! Tell him not to keep it to himself. Your Majesty is kind and will not let him end up in such a miserable state!"
At this moment, the Xie family had to pretend to the outside world that they had abandoned Qi Shuo in order to save Qi Shuo. They wanted them to think they could get some information out of Qi Shuo so that they would not take ruthless action against him.
Qiu Changye looked at Xie Shilian's indifferent expression, and asked with a sigh, "Does Master Xie really think so?"
"That's what I thought."
"Since Master Xie agrees with me, and you and Qi Shuo have been brothers for so many years and know him so well, why don't you join me in trying Qi Shuo?"
Qiu Changye is setting a trap for Xie Shilian.
Xie Shilian frowned and hesitated slightly.
"Why? Prince Xie can't bear it?"
"Why should I be so reluctant?" Xie Shilian snorted and said, "Okay! I will also do my part for Master Qiu."
Qiu Changye smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Qiu Changye had not gotten any results from the trial for such a long time, and he was scolded by the emperor today. The emperor also said that if nothing could be found out from the trial, someone else would be appointed to do the trial.
What the emperor meant by this was that he wanted to take off his official hat!
Since his official position was at stake, Qiu Changye had to work harder.
The Xie family was so immoral towards Qi Shuo, and with Xie Shilian there to instigate Qi Shuo, there was no guarantee that Qi Shuo would say something detrimental to the Xie family out of anger.
Qiu Changye took Xie Shilian back to prison.
Qi Shuo heard the noise and looked up slightly. When he saw Xie Shilian again, there was some emotion in Mu Na's eyes.
When Qiu Changye saw Qi Shuo's reaction, he immediately said, "Qi Shuo, I specially asked Master Xie to come and persuade you. You should tell me the truth as soon as possible! Otherwise, you will suffer more in prison. Don't you agree? Master Xie?"
Qiu Changye turned the topic over to Xie Shilian.
Xie Shi frowned and said sternly: "Of course, Qi Shuo, you better tell the truth!"
