I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!
Chapter 480 Farewell
Chapter 480 Farewell
The Office of the Minister of War.
Minister Liao criticized his wife.
After cursing, he walked away angrily.
Old Madam Liao was so angry that her face turned red and she almost couldn’t breathe. But then her eyes went dark and she fainted.
The children and grandchildren nearby exclaimed.
“mother!”
“grandmother!”
“What’s wrong with my mother-in-law? Come quickly and ask the court doctor to come.” The woman next to her hurriedly ordered the servants.
There was chaos in the courtyard where the old lady lived.
The court doctor came to check and found that it was not surprising that he had an attack of anger and anxiety.
After she recovered, Mrs. Liao woke up.
But she was too embarrassed to open her eyes, so she pretended to be unconscious.
“No wonder father is angry about this. I heard that he was reprimanded by the emperor today and was told to go home and tidy up the rear quarters. He will return to duty when he has figured it out. Also, you didn’t even discuss this with your family before doing it.” Uncle Liao was actually also angry at his mother for acting on her own.
Madam Liao opened her eyes, “Are you blaming me?”
“No, my son doesn’t dare.”
Uncle Liao quickly denied it, “But I am too embarrassed to send my daughter to someone else as a concubine.”
Old Madam Liao was so angry that she held her chest and looked like she couldn’t breathe. Uncle Liao was so scared that he hurried forward and patted her on the back.
Madam Liao shook off Mr. Liao’s hand and said, “Get out! Don’t come to me again about Dandan’s affairs in the future. If something goes wrong, you won’t seek justice for me, and you will think I’m embarrassing you?”
When I got old, I was still tricked.
How could the old lady, who had enjoyed a glorious life for most of her life, bear it?
Not only does no one understand her, but they also put all the blame on her?
“Don’t be angry, mother. Anger is harmful to your health.”
Mr. Liao looked angry but dared not speak, which made Mrs. Liao even angrier.
Madam Liao threw a pillow at him and said, “Watch your precious daughter. She has already gone to the original wife to make trouble just to become a concubine.”
“Dandan is still so young, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Get out! Get out!”
Old Madam Liao kicked everyone out of the bedroom.
Today, not only Minister Liao was reprimanded by Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, but many others were also reprimanded, such as the Prince of Chu’s Mansion, the Xu family, and so on. They were all asked to go home and put their backyards in order. How can those who can’t even manage their own family do their official duties well?
Capacity is questioned.
This is more than just a small thing.
If it was a small matter, these people probably wouldn’t be so angry.
It was the Jinyiwei who began to intervene in the investigation.
For a while, all the officials in the capital felt insecure. Even some people who had just begun to think about fighting for power and profit were frightened and suppressed their thoughts and began to work diligently.
For example, with the imperial examination announced this time, no one dares to take part.
Qin Chi finished reviewing the last memorial, slowly leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his sore right arm with his left hand.
Qin Ba walked in quickly, bowed, and approached Qin Chi, reporting in a low voice: “Sir, the Madam is leaving the capital.”
Qin Chi’s expression froze.
He immediately stood up and quickly walked out of the hall.
He rode quickly to the gate behind Jifang Pharmacy. As expected, he saw more than a dozen carriages in front of the gate, with people coming in and out, loading wooden boxes onto the carriages.
Song Kuan was still standing in front of the door giving orders.
There was a little guy riding on Song Kuan’s neck, and it was his little son.
Qin Chi and others appeared on horseback, and Song Kuan quickly discovered them.
Qin Chi threw the reins in his hand to the guard beside him, walked over quickly, bowed to Song Kuan and said, “My son-in-law greets my father-in-law. Is your health better?”
Father-in-law again?
Song Kuan’s mouth twitched.
I don’t know whether I should respond or not?
Song Kuan simply pretended to be stupid and didn’t dwell on this question. “Thanks to Prince An, I’m much better now. Did you come here specially to pick up Guaiguai?”
Qin Chi’s eyes fell on his youngest son, “No, I came here to see Jin’er.”
“Go ahead, the people are inside.”
Song Kuan pointed to the door behind him.
Qin Chi bowed his head again to express his gratitude, and then hurried back in. He looked so anxious that it was hard for him to stop and greet Song Kuan.
Came to Song Jin’s yard.
Mu Ting was instructing the servants to move things.
Song Jin sat at the table, checking the manuscript in his hands.
This is the medical book manuscript that Mr. Jing finalized two days ago.
She had not originally planned to print in a bookstore in the capital, and now that she was being harassed by the bookstore, she would not print in the capital at all.
Put the manuscript into the box.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a tall figure appearing at the door.
Song Jin looked up. Qin Chi seemed to be walking towards her leisurely.
But the thin layer of sweat on his forehead revealed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared to be.
Song Jin slowly withdrew his gaze and stood up to greet him politely.
“Do we have to leave Beijing?” Qin Chi’s tone was restrained and suppressed.
Song Jin lowered his eyes, “It’s time to leave Beijing. If we delay any longer, winter will come. It’s not suitable to travel quickly.”
“Return to Huizhou?”
“Yes, back to Huizhou.”
“Didn’t you ever think of telling me?”
“……” There is no way to answer this question.
Song Jin had indeed not thought about it. “I was planning to go to the princess’s mansion later and send Guaiguai over.”
And say goodbye to Li.
That’s it.
Song Jin picked up the wooden box containing the manuscript on the table, bowed to Qin Chi, and took a few steps back towards the door.
Closer to the door.
She turned around without hesitation.
Stride away.
Qin Chi stood there motionless.
He remained motionless until Song Jin’s back disappeared.
The servants beside him didn’t even dare to breathe, and even stopped moving things. They knelt down awkwardly, not daring to look up.
For a long time.
Qin Chi walked out eagerly.
Until he caught up with Song Jin, he paused for a moment when he was about ten feet away from her, then slowed down his pace and followed her slowly, but his eyes were always on the back of her head.
Walked to the front door.
Song Kuan saw his daughter.
Naturally, he saw Qin Chi following behind his daughter again.
Song Jin couldn’t see Qin Chi’s expression at the moment, but Song Kuan could. Although there was not much expression on his face, he could tell that this man felt like he was about to break down.
“Mom! Mom, hug me.”
As soon as the little guy saw his mother, he immediately leaned towards her.
Song Jin was a little distracted at first.
As soon as she heard her son’s cry, she immediately took him over and handed the box to Song Kuan.
Song Jin held his son in his arms and rubbed his cheek against the little guy’s face, his heart filled with reluctance. He should have sent the child back yesterday.
But she was reluctant.
It takes one day to delay.
When the mother and daughter were being intimate, they did not disturb the servants from their work.
Mu Ting asked everyone to add action quickly.
When everything was ready, Song Kuan, who was standing beside Qin Chi, bowed silently to Qin Chi and stepped into a carriage. He shouted through the window: “Jin’er, it’s time to set off!”
“Huh? Oh, I see.”
Song Jin rested her forehead against Guaiguai’s, “Mom is leaving, so you should listen to me and grow up well.”
“Mother, mother…”
The little guy seemed to be aware of the separation.
A pair of chubby arms tightly hugged Song Jin’s neck, and the little mouth was pouting, as if he was about to cry.
Song Jin stuffed the child into Qin Chi’s arms and gently stroked the child’s cheek, “Take good care of the children and don’t let them get hurt.”
“I will.”
Qin Chi subconsciously hugged the child.
Song Jin lowered his brows and bid farewell to Qin Chi.
The father and son just watched Song Jin turn around and get on the carriage without any hesitation.
The carriage in front began to move forward.
The driver sat on the shaft and cracked the whip.
“drive!”
The horse started to move.
The wheels rumbled and the team moved forward slowly.
Qin Chi stood in front of the door, holding his son in his arms without saying a word. The carriage that Song Jin was sitting in slowly passed by him. The curtain of the window swayed slightly, but it was never opened.
Qin Chi felt like there was a huge rock blocking his heart.
It was so stressful that even breathing was painful for him.
