Chapter 198 Condolences
Qi Ming clenched his fists and slammed his palm on the table.
"Bang!" The table fell into pieces.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to the palace now! Ask the prince for an explanation!"
After the prince actually dared to harm Zhongliang, he was determined to sue the Yushitai and expose the other party's hypocrisy!
The third aunt was so frightened that she held him back.
"Master! Don't be impulsive! If you enter the palace, the prince will definitely use the death of the eldest young master to make an issue and use it as an excuse!"
"So what? Are we going to let him slaughter us?!" Qi Ming roared angrily.
His voice caused the surrounding servants to bury their heads deeper.
They all knew that the master doted on the eldest young master, and they were afraid that the tyrannical master would get angry at them, so they kept silent and did not dare to say anything.
"Master Qi, there are distinguished guests outside the house who want to see you." At this time, a servant came in to report.
Qi Ming was furious at this time and scolded him without hesitation: "If you ask him to leave, just say that I have something to do and have to go to the palace and have no time to see guests."
"But... Mr. Liu insists on seeing you."
The servant carefully conveyed that the master had just suffered the pain of losing his son, and the entire Qi Mansion was covered by dark clouds. He did not want to get into trouble and anger the master.
Master Liu? Zaifu Liu?
Qi Ming's expression froze, and then he regained his anger.
"Invite Mr. Liu to the study, I will go there later." Qi Ming ordered coldly.
"yes."
Soon, the housekeeper ushered Liu Zaifu in.
When Qi Ming saw the person coming, he frowned, but out of sympathy, he had to pretend to smile.
"Master Liu, something unexpected has happened in the lower official's family at this time, and it is really not appropriate to entertain him."
Liu Zaifu cupped his hands and realized that Qi Ming had become much older after not seeing him for a few days.
"Master Qi, you are so polite. I was very sad when I heard about your son. It is such a pity that a generation of talented people has withered away." Liu Zaifu sighed.
Qi Ming showed a painful expression on his face: "The prince is going too far. He knows that Yuan Qing is my eldest son, but he still does such a cruel thing..."
As he spoke, his eye circles turned red, as if he could cry at any time.
This was the first time Liu Zhongqing saw Qi Ming so excited, but he came here just to stop Qi Ming.
"Master Qi, I know that you are in grief because of the loss of your son in middle age. If it were me, I would be equally devastated. But after all, this matter involves the prince. Although I am heartbroken, I dare not engage in malpractice for personal gain."
"So," he said solemnly, "I am here to admonish you. I hope Sir Qi can calm down and stop being impulsive and making wrong decisions."
Qi Ming's eyes widened immediately. Now that the prince can do such vicious things, does Liu Zhongqing still want him to endure it again and again?!
He stood up abruptly and said sternly: "Master Liu, I respect you as a pillar of the imperial court, so I call you sir. Don't force me."
Liu Zhongqing shook his head: "Master Qi, don't be impatient. Let me finish what I have to say."
He said slowly: "You must have heard that the son had a conflict with the prince at the Song Tower last night, which caused such a disaster. Do you know who caused it?"
This question actually raised Qi Ming's mind. Could it be that this person had another secret?
Then who is it that can make the prince do this?
"Who is it?"
"Princess of Chu, Xiang Yunyan." Liu Zhongqing said slowly.
Qi Ming was stunned for a moment. As a great leader of the current dynasty, he naturally knew very well about the affairs of Chu State.
But, how did Qi Yuanqing know where Xiang Yunyan was staying, and how did he get involved with the prince?
Qi Ming's face darkened and he asked the housekeeper to immediately call the servants up.
"Tell me, what did the eldest young master do during his lifetime?!"
Qi Ming shouted, his voice was like the neighing of a wild beast, shocking people's hearts.
The servants narrated the matter cautiously, and finally added: "Young Master...it is true that the day before yesterday, he took the initiative to make an appointment with a girl to go to the singing house, and..."
"What else! The eldest young master is dead, what else do you want to hide?"
The veins on Qi Ming's forehead were pulsing with anger, his eyes were widened, and he looked like he was ready to eat someone at any time.
"The eldest young master also asked us to prepare 'things', saying that we wanted to spend the night with that beauty."
Things, of course, refer to aphrodisiacs and other pleasure-enhancing things.
This matter is usually approved by the master. As servants, they naturally have no right to deny it.
"Beast! Bastard!"
Qi Ming was so angry that he kicked away the wooden chair next to him and swept aside the tea cup and tea on the table. Broken porcelain pieces were scattered all over the floor.
He roared angrily, "Are you all trash? Since you already knew what he was thinking, you actually let him go and ignored it?!"
The servants sounded innocent. Could it be that Qi Ming didn't understand what kind of character Qi Yuanqing was?
On weekdays, even if he commits murder and arson, Qi Ming will help him deal with it, and he will be released after at most half a month of confinement.
Therefore, how could these servants dare to disobey Qi Yuanqing's orders.
The more Qi Ming scolded, the angrier he became, until he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He breathed heavily, pointed at several servants and said: "Something happened to the eldest young master, and you guys can't get away with it!"
The servants looked frightened. They didn't know that they met such a big shot as the prince in the capital.
What's more, they were beaten violently by the imperial guards last night and almost lost their lives. There was no way they could resist!
"Master Qi, we have no choice but to do it." A timid servant cried.
Several others also followed suit.
Liu Zhongqing intervened at the right time, "Mr. Qi, I have not said that I will not make the decision for you. It's just that this matter involves a very wide range of things. The prince is the crown prince of the royal family, so we dare not deal with it rashly."
"If it were a normal matter, I would naturally not shrink back. I would only pity the young master...sigh."
Qi Ming's face twitched. These words were clearly a shirk of responsibility, but this was not the time to pursue the case.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm, "You retreat first, and I will punish you later!"
Immediately, several servants rolled and crawled out.
At this time, Qi Ming said in a low voice: "Master Zaifu, if you know the truth, why don't you tell me, so that I won't be deceived again, and I can seek justice for my son in front of the emperor in the future!"
Liu Zhongqing seemed to be relieved, his tone became much softer, and he said softly: "The prince's behavior is indeed too bad, and I am very angry about it."
"But if you go to trouble the prince at this time, he will only bite you back. The woman is the princess of Chu. If he falsely accuses the prince of doing something inappropriate to the princess, wouldn't Master Qi be passive?"
Hearing this, Qi Ming's face became even more gloomy.
"Then according to Master Zaifu's wishes, what should we do?"
Chapter completed!
