The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 80 To be a wife or a concubine?

As the crowd gradually dispersed from the arena, Li Keyong said directly, "We will now go to Lord Yang's residence to decide on the marriage arrangements. Since Valley Master Qi cannot make a decision on his own, please inform the elders of your Qi family to come and discuss it together. Today, we must give my adopted daughter an explanation."

“Yes, Prince Jin,” Qi Jiangfeng replied.

"Also, my daughter Qiu Yatou, as everyone can see, is a fairy from heaven who has come to earth. Not just anyone can marry her. Countless heroes and valiant men in the world want to marry her. And my son, well, let's not talk about him for now."

“Yes, what the Prince of Jin said is absolutely right,” Qi Jiangfeng added.

"I will fully support Qiu Yatou in doing what she wants. As for the things about walking on the charcoal-burning road, rolling on the bed of nails in a single layer of clothing, and being dragged by a horse around the city three times, let's just drop the matter. My daughter is more precious than a golden branch and jade leaf. How can I treat her like that? If Young Master Qi is not satisfied, then I, Li Keyong, will walk on the charcoal-burning road for her, roll on the bed of nails for her, and be dragged by a horse around Yangzhou five times for her. How about that?" Li Keyong said.

"I dare not, I dare not. Your Highness Jin is too kind. Let's just drop the matter here," Qi Jiangfeng said.

“Alright, let’s go to Lord Yang’s residence now to discuss the marriage between Young Master Qi and Miss Qiu. You must arrive within three incense sticks’ time, or you will be punished according to military law,” Li Keyong said.

Qiu Ziyue was delighted. She secretly gave Li Keyong a thumbs up and winked at him.

Li Keyong caught a glimpse and immediately understood.

Qiu Ziyue thought to herself, "It's so good to have a devilish father. What kind of ridiculous three things are these? It's amazing that Qi Yuxuan could come up with them. The punishment that prisoners face nine deaths and one life is resolved by Li Keyong with just four words: 'Let's call it a day.'"

"Daddy, you're amazing, yay!" Qiu Ziyue whispered.

Standing to the side, Qi Yuxuan had a complicated expression. He listened to Qiu Ziyue speak and asked, "What are you saying?"

"None of your business," Qiu Ziyue retorted, ignoring Qi Yuxuan.

Strangely, Qi Yuxuan actually smiled, which was unusual for him.

Immediately, fearing military punishment, those involved hastily retreated from Daming Temple and headed to Yang Xingmi's residence.

Within three incense sticks' time, the relevant people arrived one after another.

In Yang Xingmi's mansion, in a simple and elegant hall, Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, Zhu Yanshou, and the elders of the Qi family sat in the central seat. Qi Jiangfeng, the head of the Qi family, had a solemn expression as his gaze swept over each family member present.

On either side of the hall, Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue stood, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

Lu Yuanchangming and his three senior brothers sat on the other side of the hall, while the rest of the people stood in a circle.

“Yuxuan, your engagement with Yushuang was arranged when you were young.” According to the traditional family values ​​of the Qi family, seniority is the order of seniority. As the most senior member of the family, Old Master Qi spoke first. “Although marriage is decided by parents and family members, there is always a first-come, first-served principle. Since you and Yushuang have already made an engagement, you should marry Yushuang first.”

Qi Yuxuan frowned slightly, but he did not immediately refute it. Instead, he looked at Qi Jiangfeng.

A hint of worry flashed in Qiu Ziyue's eyes, but she didn't speak. She knew that in this situation, it was best to let the old man speak first.

Li Keyong said, "Young Master Qi and the Li family have made a marriage agreement, but it has not been announced to the outside world. However, the bet made by Qiu Yatou is a bet made in front of the whole world. Therefore, the people of the world should take precedence and we should marry Qiu Yatou first. Also, our Qiu Yatou will absolutely not be a concubine."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Qi family began to whisper among themselves, wondering what to do.

Finally, Old Master Qi spoke, asking Qi Yuxuan for his opinion.

Qi Yuxuan said, "Marriage should be decided by parents. I didn't expect to encounter these things. I understand the family rules, so I will listen to the elders' opinions first."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qi frowned slightly, clearly displeased with Qi Yuxuan's words.

Old Master Qi had long heard that Qi Yuxuan loathed Qiu Ziyue and called her a "female demon" every day, but his reaction at this moment was not so intense.

Qi Jiangfeng spoke up: "Yuxuan, your engagement with Yushuang is an important link between our two families, and it concerns the future of the Qi family. If you insist on marrying Ziyue, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary disputes."

Lady Qi sighed, seemingly hesitant as well.

Li Keyong said, "I will go and talk to Li Maozhen. I, Li Keyong, would like to emphasize again that my daughter must never become a concubine."

Old Master Qi's face darkened, clearly displeased with Li Keyong's words: "Prince Jin, the marriage between Yuxuan and Yushuang has already been arranged. If we go back on our word now, it will not only ruin the alliance between our two families, but also damage Yushuang's reputation."

Li Keyong shook his head: "Old Master Qi, if it's for the benefit of the family, it's all in vain if the children are unhappy. We need to ask the children for their opinions."

Old Master Qi was speechless for a moment, clearly somewhat shaken by Li Keyong's words.

"How about this, Yu Xuan, you can marry both Miss Qiu and Miss Yu Shuang. Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Let them both be equal wives, is that alright?"

“That’s good, that’s good. This way, no one will be upset. How wonderful,” the elders of the Qi family said.

“We should ask the children about this,” Li Keyong said.

“No, my junior sister absolutely cannot be treated so unfairly. She won’t be a concubine or a secondary wife,” said the eldest senior brother, Qiu Langyu.

The second senior brother said, "We never agreed to our junior sister marrying Young Master Qi, let alone having a concubine or a secondary wife."

The third senior brother said angrily, "I strongly object."

Sitting to the side, Lu Yuanchangming said anxiously, "I have long admired Miss Qiu. May I suggest that Miss Qiu change her mind and marry me? I, Lu Yuanchangming, will be devoted to Miss Qiu and will only marry Miss Qiu for the rest of my life, and will only make Miss Qiu my wife."

"What is this, Lu Yuanchangming? What are you doing?" Qiu Ziyue whispered to Lu Yuanchangming.

Everyone started talking at once, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

"Let's hear what Yu Xuan and Qiu Yatou have to say first," Li Keyong said.

“Yu Shuang and I are already engaged, but Miss Qiu insists on making a bet with me. I cannot let Miss Yu Shuang down, but I also cannot betray the world. I am in a difficult position and would appreciate it if my elders could make the decision for me,” Qi Yuxuan said.

Qi Yuxuan's words were exactly what Qiu Ziyue had expected. She wasn't surprised at all and calmly said, "Since I, Qiu Ziyue, dared to face the people of Yangzhou and make a bet, I will definitely stick to it. I know the difficulties of the Qi family. I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"

"Miss Qiu, please speak freely," the crowd said.

“Miss Yu Shuang is still not fully recovered from the poisoning. I am willing to find an antidote for her and cure her poisoning. If the cure is successful, please ask the elders of the Qi family to allow me to enter the family. However, I, Qiu Ziyue, will only be the legal wife and will never be a concubine. Is that alright?” Qiu Ziyue said.

“Yes, Miss Yushuang is poisoned and will not live much longer. For the sake of continuing the Qi family line, she should marry Miss Qiu. Besides, she is helping to find the antidote. This is good, this is good,” said one of the elders of the Qi family.

“We can do as Miss Qiu suggested and marry her as our principal wife first. After Yu Shuang recovers, she can marry into our family as a concubine. What do you think, Yu Xuan?” said Old Master Qi.

"Reporting to Grandpa Qi, I, Qi Yuxuan, will only acknowledge one wife in my life. I only wish to be with the one I love for life, and I will never take a concubine," Qi Yuxuan said firmly.

"What? What should we do?" Old Master Qi murmured.
