It is an absurd thing for someone without any achievements in the martial world to be granted a noble title. If most of the Court Officials agree, it becomes easy to spot the flaws in their reasoning. Nodding would mean they are acting against their own interests, yet even so, they still agree that those Old Foxes in the Court who have not been caught can surely guess that these individuals are mostly under suspicion.
Then, considering who stands to gain the most from this situation, it is easy to suspect Qi Xiaomian. Leaking information from The Office of Censors is a grave crime; such a serious offense could lead to being subjected to a thousand cuts. Do you understand my explanation? If he did this, the likelihood of him meeting a terrible end is extremely high.
Since it has already escalated to life and death, do you still want him to take risks for you? Just for the sake of obtaining a title, would you have him forsake his own flesh and blood?
He Chuan wore an expression of calmness, showing not even a hint of guilt, as if everything were perfectly reasonable. He laughed and said, "It's not as serious as you say! Just be careful!"
Even if he were found out, didn't he still have an emperor uncle who dotes on him? At worst, he would just face some hardships. A thousand cuts? Little girl, have you watched too many dramas? Who are you trying to scare?
Sang Qingxiao said seriously, "It's not about being afraid of a million things; it's about fearing that one in a million chance. What if Qi Xiaomian happens to be that unlucky one?"
He Chuan paused for a moment, his smile fading slightly as he sighed, "How careless can one be to touch upon such luck?"
So if nothing is done, he is scolded for being unfilial; if something cannot be accomplished, he is blamed for having done nothing; if something is achieved, it is seen as what he ought to do; and if things go awry, it is all his fault alone, with no one else involved. In the end, when he is sentenced, they will pat their chests in relief and casually remark how fortunate they were not to be implicated themselves. Then they might even angrily wonder why things had to come to light!
Sang Qingxiao took out a bowl of chilled mung bean soup from her space ring. On such a hot day, taking a sip was refreshing and quenched her thirst while also helping to suppress her inner anger.
He Chuan fell silent for a moment, lost in thought, opening and closing his mouth several times before finally shutting it again.
Sang Qingxiao's words left her feeling powerless to retort. Although she vaguely thought along those lines herself, the constraints of morality made it hard for her to voice it. Even though she felt Qi Xiaomian was heartless and ungrateful to the extreme, she still couldn't bring herself to lay everything bare due to concern for her own image.
Seeing Sang Qingxiao leisurely sipping her sweet drink made her lips dry up slightly. She cursed Sang Qingxiao countless times in her heart before finally impatiently speaking up again.
"Is this how you treat your future Mother-in-law? I say one thing and you have to retort several times."
Did she really retort?
Let's get straight to the point; there's no need for pleasantries.
Even though there were several times I wanted to lash out, I held myself back. Sang Qingxiao felt a deep sympathy for Qi Xiaomian; how did he manage to endure such a pair of mothers during his childhood?
Sang Qingxiao put away his pleasant demeanor and asked, "Madam, was what you just said your purpose for coming here?"
He Chuan grunted in annoyance, "If you're not going to do it, then just give me a straightforward answer! Don't waste our time!"
"Have you finished saying everything you wanted to say? Is that all you came for? Do you have any other instructions?"
"Why are you so long-winded? It's just these matters! They may not be small, but they are for the benefit of the entire Qi Family. Although he might face some grievances, those will only be temporary. The Qi Family will remember his contributions."
