The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

At the door outside the hall, a long bench was placed alone in the center, looking a bit out of place.

There were several guards standing on each side.

When Qu Qingyan was escorted to the front, the guards on both sides immediately let go of him and knelt down to apologize.

She waved her hand, turned around and sat on the stool, secretly estimating the time in her mind.

The Empress Dowager's Cining Palace was located in a quiet area of ​​the harem, quite a distance from the Imperial Study. However, her father was as fast as a swallow, so it didn't take him long to get there after he got the news.

She just needs to wait here for a moment.

Not long after, a young eunuch and two women came slowly towards them.

"Madam Qu, the Queen Mother and Princess Zhaoyang have been waiting for you in the palace for a long time. Please go in quickly." The young eunuch led the prime minister's mother in very respectfully and treated her with utmost respect.

Qu Wenshi was flattered by the servants in the palace and became more and more proud along the way. She gradually became arrogant and said, "You are a servant with good judgment and sweet words. Thank you for your hard work on the way."

"This is what a servant should do. It is not hard work. As long as I can serve you well, that is the value of my existence..." The young eunuch flattered him again.

Qu Wenshi looked even more proud.

Wen Suhua followed behind them silently as the mother and daughter were about to go in.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the handsome young man sitting on the stool, and guessed his identity, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

After meeting Qu Xinzhu yesterday, both of them talked about the pain they had experienced over the years.

They also learned from her that this young man named Yan Qing, relying on the Prime Minister's favor, had bullied her many times and never taken her seriously.

A mere beggar dared to treat the young lady of the Qu family like this. Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua were furious.

Now that he saw her, he naturally didn't look happy.

"Are you that Yan Qing?" Wen Suhua had already felt guilty towards her daughter for many years. Now, looking at the man who bullied her daughter, her eyes were filled with unconcealable anger.

Qu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "Yes, I am."

It wasn't the first time they met, but this time they were in disguise, so they didn't recognize each other.

"You are so bold that you dare to humiliate me... the Prime Minister's daughter, you deserve to die!" Wen Suhua's face was still covered with a veil, and the pair of exposed eyes were as vicious as if they were poisoned.

Qu Qingyan sneered, "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere with me? Not to mention, I have never bullied innocent people. Even if I bullied someone with bad intentions, what does it have to do with you? Seeing that you are wearing a veil and dare not show your true face, is it something shameful? And the prime minister's daughter you mentioned, as far as I know, the prime minister has only one legitimate daughter, who usually lives in the mansion and has never stepped out of the door. I wonder who this person you are talking about? If you don't tell me today, I will report it to the prime minister and punish you for false accusation!"

"You rely on the Prime Minister's esteem for you and become so arrogant. This shows how you bully Zhu'er every day!" Wen Suhua glared at her angrily.

Qu Qingyan said sarcastically: "The Prime Minister values ​​me because of my ability. I am not like some people who try their best but still cannot get what they want."

"You..." Wen Suhua was so angry that her true feelings were exposed.

Unfortunately, this man was very sharp-tongued and Wen Suhua was no match for him. She was defeated in just a few moves.

"You beggar, if my Qu family hadn't taken you in, how would you have the status you have today? Not only are you ungrateful, you even dared to bully the young lady of my Qu family. Such a traitor must not be forgiven easily. I will report to the Queen Mother right now and ask her to make the decision for my Qu family!" Qu Wenshi also had a cruel look on her face. Seeing her daughter being humiliated, she wished she could kill the man in front of her right away.

"You are wrong. I have the position I have today only thanks to the Prime Minister. It has nothing to do with anyone else. This old lady should stop flattering herself." Qu Qingyan showed disdain.

Although Qu Wenshi was her nominal grandmother, she tried to separate her parents many times when they were in love. When her mother was pregnant with her, she brought Wen Suhua into the mansion and tried every means to sow discord between her parents, but failed. Later, she did not change her bad habits. She took advantage of her father's drunkenness and climbed into his bed, which made her mother so angry that she had a difficult labor and died after giving birth to her.

The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable!

Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua harmed her mother, and Qu Xinzhu, Mo Li and others harmed her and her father.

These people are her enemies, she must not let them go!

Qu Wen was furious and pointed at her with a shaking hand, "You... you are so bold! I will report this to the Queen Mother and ask her to make a decision for me and severely punish you, the traitorous servant!"

Qu Qingyan waved his hand, "Suit yourself!"

Her attitude completely infuriated Qu Wenshi, and she stormed in angrily.

Wen Suhua also glanced at her coldly and followed her in.

The little eunuch who was flattering the emperor just now looked at the situation in front of him, rolled his eyes, and came forward to ask what happened.

No one present paid any attention to him.

The young eunuch had an ugly look on his face. After cursing inwardly, he bowed and walked into the hall.

Qu Qingyan sat on the stool fearlessly, estimating that her father should be on the way.

Empress Dowager Yan, Princess Zhaoyang, and Qu Wenshi, the 'prime minister's mother'. If her father didn't come, she would have little influence and might not be able to stay out of it.

Fortunately, she has a father who is a treacherous minister with great power. It feels great to have her father to cover everything for her.

Her father had placed a lot of people in the Empress Dowager's palace, so she had nothing to be afraid of, so she just sat there obediently waiting for her father to come and clean up the mess.

But before she waited for her father to arrive, she saw a huge group of people coming out of the hall, all glaring at her.

"My Queen Mother, please understand. It was this ignorant boy who dared to embarrass me in public. I am so old, but have never been contradicted like this. Today, I have lost face in the imperial palace and in front of the Queen Mother's palace. If I don't severely punish this boy, how can I have face in the future?" Qu Wenshi looked as if she wanted to eat the young man in front of her.

Wen Suhua also said angrily: "My godmother is the mother of the prime minister. This boy is just a retainer of the prime minister's mansion. He relies on the prime minister's esteem for her and actually ignores the master of the mansion and bullies the old and the young. He really can't stay!"

Qu Qingyan raised his eyebrows but did not speak.

"How outrageous! I asked you to beat him with fifty lashes, why didn't you move?" Empress Dowager Yan was already dissatisfied with her, and now she saw that she was even more rampant and even dared to contradict the Prime Minister's mother. She also saw that she was safe and sound and no one dared to move, and she immediately flew into a rage.

The guards knelt down hurriedly but said nothing.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yan became even angrier. She felt her authority was threatened and was extremely angry. "Okay, okay, you guys don't take my words seriously. You actually listened to the words of a mere retainer. In that case, I will do it myself! After I severely punish this person, I will come and deal with you!"

After saying this, she winked at her personal nanny.

The nanny was not young anymore. After responding, she wanted to pick up a stick and punish the man.

The young eunuch who had been there before also stepped forward and said, "Madam, this is a strenuous job. I am here to help you."

The two men each took a wooden stick and were about to hit the handsome young man.

Qu Qingyan was not stupid, so why would he let them get close to him? He stepped back and avoided them.

The two were very shocked and did not expect that he would actually hide.

After all, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Even if the empress dowager brings down punishment, we should kneel down and thank her.

"You're so bad, Yan Qing. I can't control you anymore, can I?" The dignity of Empress Dowager Yan had been trampled under his feet many times today, and she was extremely angry at this moment.

Yan Wanyu was busy stroking the Queen Mother's back to calm her down. "Aunt, don't be angry. It's not worth it to hurt your body. Just hand this matter over to the Dali Temple for trial."

"Why go to so much trouble? In my opinion, we should just have him tied up and beaten to death and be done with it." Qu Xinzhu's eyes were fierce and his face was hideous and terrifying.

Qu Wenshi also agreed and said, "This kind of person who doesn't know his place is above heaven and earth, relying on my son's regard for him, is lawless and cannot be allowed to stay. It would be better to beat him to death so that he won't do evil in the future."

"He is just a mere retainer, but he dares to bully Xinzhu, the daughter of the Prime Minister. What else will he not dare to do in the future? People like him deserve to die!" Wen Suhua's eyes were also filled with murderous intent.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yan looked at him more and more as if he were a dead person. She paused for a moment and was about to give an order.

"Aunt, just teach him a lesson. There's no need to kill anyone." Yan Wanyu was very angry at the young man, but she couldn't bear to watch him die in front of her.

Qu Xinzhu cursed inwardly, "Venerable bitch" but her face was filled with sorrow. "Mother, it's not that I'm cruel and I don't want to kill him. It's just that he is arrogant and does whatever he wants. If I let him go on like this, I'm afraid it will affect my father's reputation. You don't want this result, do you?"

When Wen Suhua heard her daughter calling the woman in front of her "mother", she felt a dull pain in her heart and her eyes flushed.

The daughter she had just adopted called another woman "mother" in front of her, her biological mother. It was like cutting her heart with a knife, causing her unbearable pain.

Although this was the plan they had discussed yesterday, to use Yan Wanyu, Princess Zhaoyang, to gain the support of the Queen Mother, she could not accept it if it was really like this.

When Yan Wanyu heard her say this, she looked at the handsome boy with pity and turned her head away.

No matter how much she hated it, she would never allow anyone to tarnish his reputation.

"Queen Mother, please give the order quickly. This scourge must not be allowed to continue to survive. If it is not eliminated now, there will be endless troubles in the future." Qu Xinzhu urged again and again, determined to kill Yan Qing on the spot.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will have to drink the punishment wine. I originally just wanted to give you a small punishment. Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for using heavy hands!" A murderous intent flashed across the kind face of the Empress Dowager Yan, and she directly summoned her confidants hiding in the dark.
