Chapter 181 The Threat of Old 8
Lao Ba's shameless words made everyone's mouth twitch, and made everyone once again realize how shameless Lao Ba was!
Kangxi: "You don't admit it, then have you asked Yunyan? Don't you think about her? Do you think she, an orphan, can hold the position of Prince's wife?"
Lao Ba lowered his head and adjusted the cuffs of his clothes, while calmly saying, "I don't hit women, but I like to vent my anger on others. If you don't want to be in trouble with me, then you should carefully consider whether the forces behind you can withstand my revenge."
Lao Ba raised his head, smiled at everyone and said, "Since everyone is here, I will give you a heads up. You all know that I have a bad temper. Yan'er is my bottom line. If she loses a hair or sheds a tear, I will definitely have a good talk with everyone!"
The smile of the Eighth Elder made people feel terrified, just like a poisonous snake staring at them, which was creepy! It was also at this moment that the eldest elder and the prince regained their sanity. They were really mad at what their father said just now, and forgot that the Eighth Elder was a mad dog!
Lao Ba watched all this with great satisfaction. Although he didn't want to get involved in all the right and wrong in this life, he also didn't want others to bully him. He built up his own power just to make himself and Yunyan live more comfortably. He really had no idea about the throne at all!
This weird atmosphere made everyone silent for a while. Liang Jiugong was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet. He didn't understand why Lao Ba was unwilling to do something that was obviously a good thing? No matter what the reason was, having Ma Qi as a father-in-law was a good thing, wasn't it?
Liang Jiugong said with a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's all my fault for being too impatient. The imperial edict has already been sent to the Fucha Mansion and cannot be retrieved!"
The Eighth Elder said indifferently, "That is your business, and has nothing to do with me. If the Emperor specially asked me to come here just for this matter, then I will take my leave first. There are many things to do in the palace, so I will not delay here. I will take my leave now."
After the Eighth Prince finished his salute, he didn’t even give Kangxi time to react. He was so fast that Kangxi didn’t even have time to shout “stop” at him. One can imagine how angry Kangxi was.
The prince and the eldest brother all lowered their heads and knelt there, feeling that they were really unlucky to have met such a treacherous brother. It was obviously not their fault, so why were they the ones who suffered in the end?
Kangxi turned his attention to the Ninth and Tenth Brothers. He knew that something must have happened between them, but he didn't know what was going on!
Kangxi: "Old Nine, Old Ten, what's going on?"
The Tenth Elder waved his hands and said, "Father Emperor, I don't know. Don't ask me. I really don't know. I want to know what's going on."
Lao Jiu, however, looked up at the beams on the roof, pretending that he had not heard what Kangxi said! People who didn't know would think that there were rare treasures on the beams that made Lao Jiu stare at them so intently!
It would be strange if Kangxi believed what the Tenth Prince said. Just look at the expression on the Ninth Prince's face, as if to say, "I know everything, but I just won't tell you!"
Kangxi almost choked out of breath. Looking at the stubborn looks of the Ninth and Tenth Brothers, he kept comforting himself in his heart, thinking that he should not bother with them. If he did, he would be the only one who would be pissed to death!
Kangxi suppressed his anger, but when he saw the innocent look of the Tenth Prince and the indifferent look of the Ninth Prince, he couldn't help it after all. He threw the memorials on the table at them. Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were a little far away, so the memorials were thrown in front of them!
Kangxi roared: "Get out..., get out!"
With Kangxi's order, wouldn't Lao Jiu seize such a good opportunity? He quickly pulled Lao Shi and ran out the door. In the blink of an eye, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi disappeared. Kangxi was so angry that he almost fainted!
The prince and the eldest brother complained in their hearts, thinking that they had never had any good fortune in the first place, so why were they the ones who suffered in the end? It was fine that the eighth brother cheated people, but why should they bear the consequences for the troubles caused by the ninth and tenth brothers?
The boss and the prince gnashed their teeth and decided secretly in their hearts that they must return the favor!
Kangxi: "Get out of here!"
The Crown Prince and the eldest brother did not dare to say anything more. They bowed and left the imperial study!
After the eldest brother and the others had all left, Kangxi's eyes sparkled, and he said to Liang Jiugong beside him, "Go check what's going on. Didn't they say that the eighth brother and the others went to Ma Qi's mansion yesterday? Why are they suddenly unwilling to go?"
Liang Jiugong: "Yes... I'll go right away!"
On the other side, Ma Qi returned to the mansion. Before he could find Niu Hulu and ask all the questions in his mind, a servant suddenly came to report that the palace had come to convey the imperial edict!
Ma Qi felt very strange, but when he heard that everyone in the mansion was asked to go out to receive the imperial edict, a thought flashed through Ma Qi's mind, but it quickly disappeared. Ma Qi couldn't guess what was going on for a moment, and could only order the servants to pack up quickly!
Ma Qi held the imperial edict in his hand with a confused look on his face, not knowing whether this imperial edict was good or bad. If it had not happened in the Eighth Master's mansion, he might have been very happy. But now, he had a bad premonition!
Ma Qi's son, Fu Cha Fu Xing, asked in confusion, "Father, what's going on? Besides Yun Xia, how can we have another daughter? And both daughters are married to the royal family, is this...!"
Before Fu Xing finished speaking, Ma Qi's face immediately changed. He said with a dark face, "How dare you... Who gave you the courage to slander the emperor? It seems that I have spoiled you so much that you have lost all sense of propriety!"
Fu Xing's face also became stiff. Although he felt aggrieved, he also knew that his father was right. He was indeed too arrogant recently!
Fu Xing quickly bowed his head and admitted his fault: "Father, it's my son's fault. Don't be angry. I just feel a little strange! Father, what's going on?"
Niu Hulu also hurried to smooth things over. This was her youngest son! She usually held him in her mouth for fear that he would melt or fall. How could she bear to scold him in front of everyone?
Niu Hulu: "Master..., why are you so angry all of a sudden? Although Fuxing may have said something wrong, he was right about one thing. What's going on?"
