C44 Counterattack

"Father, please calm down. This really has nothing to do with me." Xianyu Zhi passed a teacup to Xianyu Zheng and advised.

Xianyu Zheng took the teacup and took a sip of tea, calming his anger down slightly.

He sighed with a grave expression on his face.

"Zhi Er, I don't blame you, but the rumors outside have already spread. This time Qi'er has completely lost face for our Yu family. What face do I have as the Prime Minister!? "

Xianyu Zhi faked a question: "Little Sister's guts are indeed a little big. She forgot father's teachings since we were young, but, what can people outside say?"

"Sigh, didn't you say that Qi'er is ? I really don't know how to teach girls! "When I went to court today, someone brought up this matter. I don't even know how to explain it." Xianyu Zheng heaved a long sigh with an ashen face.

"Father, we can't control their mouths, but don't worry, this matter isn't so bad that it can't be resolved." Xianyu Zhi was overjoyed, but his face did not reveal any expression as he gently advised.

In fact, this matter was spread out by Xianyu Zhi after he bribed a bunch of maidservant.

If Zhao Yuanzhi and Xianyu Qi's plan did not work, and if she still tried to plant oil on Xianyu Zhi's house to kill her, Xianyu Zhi would not sit still and wait for death.

Since the Zhao mother and daughter could not tolerate him, and wanted to harm him time and time again, Xianyu Zhi would naturally retaliate.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital. With all the streets, all the alleys and alleys, the ugly story of Xianyu Qi had already spread far and wide.

Xianyu Zhi wanted to let Zhao Yuanzhi and her daughter to know the consequences of provoking her!

"How?" You haven't even heard how unpleasant the people outside are. There's nowhere to put my old face. " Xianyu Zheng's face became extremely ugly, and he coughed.

Xianyu Zhi paced on the ground, deep in thought. Tilting her head, she revealed a happy expression and said, "I have it."

Xianyu Zheng asked anxiously: "What is it?"

This morning, Xianyu Zheng was really thick-skinned enough to return from the imperial palace. On the way, everyone was talking about Xianyu Qi, even the children on the streets had made up songs, mocking Xianyu Qi.

Just before the morning assembly this morning, Zhao Yuanzhi came again to complain, saying that Xianyu Zhi framed Xianyu Qi, causing her to be almost eaten by wolves while she was still in the forest.

Xianyu Zheng was also extremely anxious, he was not sure if this matter was related to Xianyu Zhi or not. However, Xianyu Zhi and Xianyu Qi were always nervous, and Xianyu Zheng also knew that he wasn't as friendly as he seemed on the outside. It was just that Xianyu Zheng felt that it was better to not cause too much trouble, so he pretended not to know anything.

Now, this matter was known by everyone, and Xianyu Zheng was not affected by it, so he came to find Xianyu Zhi. Firstly, he had to confirm the situation and secondly, see if there were any remedial measures available.

"Pretending to be sick." Xianyu Zhi stretched out his finger and said word by word.

"Pretending to be sick?" Xianyu Zheng revealed a face of doubt.

Xianyu Zhi laughed and nodded, "Father, if little sister is mad, no one would say anything more even if she did something that was out of line, right?"

"This ?" Xianyu Zheng was a little hesitant, this method did make sense for Xianyu Qi to be disrespectful, but it would inevitably affect his future marriage.

Xianyu Zhi saw through Xianyu Zheng's thoughts, she pretended to be worried: "Father, when Prime Minister's House is criticized, I'm afraid there will be people with ulterior motives, who will take advantage of this opportunity."

Xianyu Zheng was shocked, someone had already been eyeing his position of Prime Minister covetously. If he were to be scolded by the Wu Emperor for teaching his woman to no avail by Xianyu Qi, it would be hard to protect her position.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xianyu Zheng hardened his heart and nodded.

"I'll do as you say, spread the news as soon as possible. We definitely cannot affect Prime Minister's House's reputation."

"Father is right." Xianyu Zhi was overjoyed in his heart, nodding as he agreed.

After sending Xianyu Zheng off, Xianyu Zhi called out to him with a cold face, and asked: "You are Xiao Yunchen's man?"

Xiao Lan's entire body shivered, he did not expect Xianyu Zhi to recognize him so quickly. Since he could no longer hide it, Xiao Lan could only nod his head and admit it.

"Eldest Miss, the Young Master arranged for me to stay by your side just to protect you. He definitely didn't intend to harm you."

Xianyu Zhi thought about the autumn morning, Xiao Lan must have deliberately wet the scented sachet Xianyu Qi gave him, so he should have already known that Xianyu Qi was going to kill him. It looks like this girl really did not have any intentions of harming him.

Xianyu Zhi's expression softened, and said coldly: "Alright, I believe you. From today onwards, you will continue to stay by my side, but if you dare to betray me, I will not show you any mercy."

"Don't worry Eldest Miss, Xiao Lan will definitely not do something that goes back on his words."

"Tell me, what do you think of the idea that I gave to the old master just now?" Xianyu Zhi's eyes flashed, and he laughed.

Xiao Lan gave a big thumbs up: "Young miss is indeed meticulous. It is just as Young Noble said, you are extremely decisive in handling matters, you are extremely sharp. This time, when the news spreads out, I believe the Zhao and her daughter will be able to rest for a while. "

Xianyu Zhi sneered: "If people do not offend me, I will not offend. The mother and daughter of the Zhao have gone too far, I cannot sit still and wait for death. "

Xianyu Zheng returned to his bedroom with a gloomy face and Zhao Yuanzhi came over to welcome him.

"Old master, why do you look so pale? I'll ask the kitchen to make you some soup. "

Xianyu Zheng coldly snorted, "Forget it. My lady, your daughter has done such a thing, and you still have the nerve to start a fight with me! "

"What did the Qi'er do to make the Master so angry?" Zhao Yuanzhi pretended to be unaware of the situation.

Xianyu Zheng's face darkened: It was all in vain that I doted on her so much, she actually didn't know the shame of being able to cuddle with an unfamiliar man, and lost all my face!

"Has Master heard the slanderous words? Qi'er has always been a well-behaved and sensible person, how could he do such a vile thing?" Zhao Yuanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and justified with a face that still pretended to be unaware.

"Slander? The streets are full of rumors about your daughter's disobedience to her ladyship, and that I, the Prime Minister, am unable to teach my daughter. Do you really have to wait for His Majesty to punish me before you believe him? " Xianyu Zheng's face flushed red as he shouted in anger.

"I wouldn't dare, master, please calm your anger." Seeing Xianyu Zheng going berserk, Zhao Yuanzhi knew that he could no longer hide the truth and immediately begged for mercy.

Xianyu Zheng let out a long sigh, and coughed a few times: "During this period of time, she is temporarily not allowed to leave the house, I will order some people to announce that Xianyu Qi has gone crazy, and will close his doors to recuperate. Take care of your daughter from now on, she'll be a disappointment to me! "

Zhao Yuanzhi was shocked in his heart, and did not dare to say more.

On the morning of the second day, Xianyu Qi went to the study room to seek an audience with Xianyu Zheng.

"Tell Second Miss that from today onwards, her chamber will be closed." Xianyu Zheng instructed with a ashen face.

Xianyu Qi, who had been grounded, went crazy from anger inside the house, knocking all the tea cups and such onto the ground.
