The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Qu Qingyan's gaze fell on the woman with red eyes, who wanted to eat her, "Qu Xinzhu, we have a long way to go before we can settle our accounts."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely.

"Qu Qingyan, I, Qu Xinzhu, will repay you for today's humiliation one day. Just wait for me..." Before Qu Xinzhu could finish his words, he was dragged out by the man in black.

Qu Wen was afraid that her granddaughter would be hurt, so she hurriedly followed.

"Keep an eye on them. I want to see what trouble they will make without their dowries." Qu Qingyan would not let them have an easy time.

The secret guard took the order and left.

Towards evening, the secret guards came to report that they had prepared 108 loads of dowry and were about to transport it to the Prime Minister's residence when they were seen by the Prime Minister. That was the end of it.

"My father really doesn't give me face." Qu Qingyan shook his head in amusement, and then asked: "Can you find out where the dowry came from?"

The secret guard then reported in detail.

Qu Qingyan laughed dumbly, "Qu Xinzhu really treated Mo Li like a fool, passing off a concubine as a legitimate heir and passing off a fake as real. I wonder how His Royal Highness Prince Li will react when he learns about all this tomorrow? Will he cancel the marriage on the spot, or will he suffer this loss in silence?"

Although he said that, Qu Qingyan knew that the marriage was granted by His Majesty, so even if Mo Li was furious, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

"Miss, the Prime Minister is here." Lvliu came in from outside holding a teacup.

Qu Qingyan stood up and saw the handsome man behind her who looked very worried.

"father."

"After dinner, your father will take you somewhere." Qu Honglin walked over with a look of worry on his face.

Seeing this, Qu Qingyan knew that he was worried about tomorrow, so she smiled and comforted him: "Dad, everything is ready, don't worry. After tomorrow, your daughter will be free again."

After being reborn, she has become more open-minded and no longer obsessed with life and death. However, before she dies, she must avenge this blood feud.

"As a father, I will do everything I can to protect my son!" Qu Honglin promised firmly as he looked at his daughter, who looked like his beloved wife.

Qu Qingyan had the meal served and started chatting with his father about Qu Xinzhu's wedding.

"...I really didn't expect that Qu Xinzhu would come up with such a bad idea in order to marry Mo Li smoothly. Fortunately, my father stopped them from bringing these empty boxes in. Otherwise, the dowry would be exposed tomorrow, and Qu Xinzhu would inevitably bring the matter to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

When Qu Xinzhu's dowry was robbed and she failed to get her help, she came up with the stupid idea of ​​passing off the fake goods as the real ones by using empty boxes and inferior goods.

Her action was like drinking poison to quench thirst and she was courting her own destruction.

Once the dowry enters Prince Li's mansion, someone will count it and it will inevitably be exposed.

Of course, she would also find other excuses to shirk responsibility, such as her dowry was robbed on the way, or her servants embezzled the money.

Qu Qingyan gloated again, "However, after this incident, Mo Li must be resentful. Even if the marriage goes ahead, I'm afraid he will be upset."

"My father has already asked His Majesty for an order to deprive Qu Xinzhu of her position as princess and demote her to a concubine." Qu Honglin suddenly said this.

Qu Qingyan was surprised for a moment, then he understood.

Today, Qu Xinzhu used the position of princess to pressure her. Presumably, her father knew about this, so he let her vent her anger.

Her father's move was exactly what she wanted.

After the father and daughter finished their meal, Qu Honglin took her to the study.

In the center of the study hangs a lifelike portrait of a beautiful woman, with eyebrows like distant ink, eyes like stars, and a smile on the corners of her mouth, as if she is looking at you affectionately.

This portrait looks extremely similar to her, so Qu Qingyan naturally recognizes her. If it’s not her mother, who else could it be?

"Han'er, your husband is here to see you." The handsome man's eyes were filled with tenderness. He caressed the face of the portrait lovingly, gently and carefully, as if he was afraid of hurting the person in the painting.

The next moment, the wooden shelf next to it moved slowly, and a door appeared.

"Dad, is this a secret room?" Qu Qingyan looked at the scene in shock.

From childhood to adulthood, she had no idea that her father's study would have such a mechanism.

Qu Honglin nodded and motioned for her to follow.

The handsome man walked in, and Qu Qingyan followed closely behind him.

As soon as I stepped into the secret room, a bone-chilling coldness swept over me.

Qu Qingyan rubbed his arms subconsciously and continued walking.

The door behind him slowly closed.

The secret passage was endless, dark and cold, but fortunately there were a lot of luminous pearls inlaid next to the secret passage, so there was still some light visible.

She followed the handsome man in front of her for an unknown amount of time before finally arriving at a black iron gate.

The cold was even worse at this time, and frost formed on the black iron door.

Qu Honglin walked to the door, stretched out his hand and gently rotated the protruding stone, and the black iron door slowly opened.

"Come in." Qu Honglin looked back at her, then couldn't wait to go in first.

Qu Qingyan hurriedly followed him in.

After entering, she felt as if she was in the coldest winter and shivered from the cold.

She curled up her body and looked up, and saw her father standing in front of an ice bed, looking at the person on the bed with loving eyes.

"Dad, this is..." When Qu Qingyan saw the beautiful woman lying on the ice bed, he was stunned for a moment.

She is the person in the painting, so isn't that her...

Qu Honglin's eyes were full of love, and even his words were a little soft, fearing to wake up the 'sleeping' woman, "She is your mother."
