"Let me out first." Qi Yue said again, but Governor Qi ignored him.
"All of you, retreat!" The Governor Qi roared at the aides beside him, and all of the people obediently guarded outside. The people supporting Qi Yue let go of his hands, and Qi Yue sat down on his own while holding onto the pillar.
"Why are you going out? Weren't you always stubborn? "I'm not willing to lower my head and admit my mistake." Governor Qi had never seen Qi Yue who was willing to lower his head and admit his mistakes.
"I still remember when you were young. Even though you were beaten black and blue by me, you were unwilling to tell me that I was wrong."
The dungeon was very dark. Qi Yue could hear the voice of the Governor Qi, and could also see where the Governor Qi was standing. However, he could not see the expression on the surface of the Governor Qi's face.
"A mistake is a mistake. This time, I made a mistake. There is nothing wrong with admitting my mistake to father." Qi Yue replied.
"Not for punishment? It should be very difficult for you to even walk, right? "
If it was because of getting beaten up, Qi Yue would be shouting that he was wrong, and he would look down on Qi Yue.
"Father's men are very impartial." The corner of Qi Yue's mouth curled up slightly. Originally, he had a grudge with Xiao Muzhi, but now that Xiao Muzhi had the chance, he would naturally take it. Moreover, Xiao Muzhi was no longer under Qi Yue's command.
"Humph!"
Governor Qi heard the underlying meaning of Qi Yue's words, and threw out a sentence, "I'll give you some time to settle the matter regarding the factory."
This meant that he had agreed to let Qi Yue leave the prison. Qi Yue coldly said, "Many thanks, father."
Around noon, Qi Yue reached home. Governor Qi was kind to him and sent a carriage to send him over.
It was hard for Qi Yue to get off the car. Fortunately, Lao Er saw it first, so he quickly threw down his broom and ran over to help Qi Yue.
"Second Young Master?"
Lao Er had been here for a long time, and like the others, he called Qi Yue Second Young Master.
"Let me in."
After passing by the broom on the ground, Qi Yue felt that he was somewhat sorry for Lao Er.
Ever since Lao Er and the others arrived at the Yunmeng, they had been cleaning the courtyard. A tall and sturdy man would often sweep around with a broom, but only because the Governor Qi required extreme trust and was unwilling to have the Lao Er support Qi Yue.
"Alright."
The Lao Er called for a few people, and everyone escorted Qi Yue to the house.
Mrs. Xue came over upon hearing the noise. Seeing Qi Yue lying on the boat with his clothes untied, with blood stains on his back, she felt extremely pained.
"What kind of heartless old man is this?"
Mrs. Xue held out a clean handkerchief, carefully cleaning Qi Yue's wounds and the blood stains on the side.
"Mother, don't worry." Qi Yue laughed, but Mrs. Xue did not see his smile, because he could only lie on the bed.
"Of course I won't let Xiao Muzhi go! Ungrateful and unscrupulous! You think I can do this to you? "
Mrs. Xue's expression was sinister, he wished that he could tear Xiao Muzhi into pieces.
"Just and fair." Qi Yue had only said these four words, but in Qi Yue's eyes, Xiao Muzhi was actually a man with a different political standpoint. Other than that, Xiao Muzhi could be considered as a man with iron bones.
"Humph!" Ridiculous! Act impartially? Could it be that he had forgotten that the Qi family had helped him? I think it's the end of his days to be cruel to you. "
This was the first time she had heard the Mrs. Xue spout such ruthless words. She was extremely serious, even Qi Yue was sweating cold sweat for Xiao Muzhi.
"Go, call the doctor." Seeing this, Mrs. Xue needed to use some medicine.
"What doctor does Madame mean?" The steward was somewhat hesitant. He didn't know if it was western or traditional Chinese medicine.
"It's the western medicine my family often invites." Mrs. Xue trusted Western medicine very much now.
Jin Se and Qi Zhen had received the news and hurriedly rushed over. Seeing that Qi Yue's injuries were serious, Jin Se knew what kind of medicine to use with a single glance.
"My son has truly suffered." The anger of the Mrs. Xue was uncontrollable. Upon hearing that the Governor Qi had just arrived at his home, he immediately went out, and threatened to have a good theory with the Governor Qi.
Qi Yue was afraid that the Mrs. Xue would be in a hurry to do something he shouldn't, so he urged Qi Zhen, "Third sister, you should go over and take a look, you must not let our mother do anything wrong."
Qi Zhen was currently hurting Qi Yue's wounds, and was thinking whether it would hurt or not. After Qi Yue finished speaking, Qi Zhen obediently followed behind Mrs. Xue and went out.
"Aren't you going to wipe it off for me? I'm in a lot of pain. "
Qi Yue looked at Jin Se, and pitifully, Jin Se also stepped forward and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief.
"Second Elder Brother's injuries should be healed with some medicinal herbs. It should be faster this way." Jin Se started to get into an "occupational disease".
"Since little sister is the best at medical science, then I'll leave all the wounds on my body to little sister." Qi Yue replied.
Jin Se changed her handkerchief into a cleaner one and laughed, "Second Elder Brother is joking, my aunt has already invited a doctor over. Second Elder Brother only needs to take care of his injuries, there won't be any problems."
Qi Yue laughed, "Little sister, don't you understand? The wounds on the body heal very quickly, but what about the heart? "
Jin Se saw that Qi Yue had turned his back and was looking at him, so Jin Se quickly turned his head, "What did Second Elder Brother say? Jin Se could not understand.
"You don't understand?" Qi Yue obediently lied down again, like an injured lion.
"It's fine if little sister doesn't understand, but you have to be more lenient towards me in the future."
Jin Se was a little furious, he threw the handkerchief in his hand to the side and did not help Qi Yue wipe it clean anymore, "Where did Second Elder Brother say that? Why am I being unkind to you? "
Qi Yue begged for mercy, "No no, I just hope that little sister won't say something that makes me sad. Little sister, please don't say it, don't say it, so I won't feel so bad in my heart."
"Got it," Jin Se replied as if she was very unwilling, and her voice was very soft. She then scooped up the handkerchief and began to carefully treat her wound.
"You agreed?"
When Qi Yue was happy, he was like a child.
Jin Se nodded, "Don't talk so much, it's not a big deal."
"You're wrong. What do you mean by 'big deal'? If you were me, you could say something that would make me jubilant with joy, even if you were my little sister."
Qi Yue clenched both his hands into fists and pressed them against his chin, as though he was enjoying the show.
"On the other hand, why did you go through all this suffering for no reason at all?"
Jin Se retorted, "Could it be, that Second Elder Brother has a habit of oppressing himself?"
"Look at what you're saying, I'm not a fool, so whatever I do, I have to degrade myself. I've done it for a reason."
Qi Yue said very seriously, "After this matter, I will have the courage to resist. If father is angered, I will naturally not feel that I owe him anything."
Jin Se continued in a very low voice, "Originally, you didn't have to resist. Listen to your parents' words, and your life will be very peaceful."
Qi Yue immediately retorted, "Calm? To me, stability is but a corruption! "
