Xu Shu was perfunctory to Qi Peng, but she couldn't do it perfunctorily. The Empress Dowager vented her anger on the Qi family must be because of Concubine Zhen. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhen and Zhou Jin are one. Concubine Zhen's attitude represents Zhou Jin's attitude. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is Zhou Jin who wants to come back.

But now Zhou Jin's identity is a bit embarrassing. He was once the crown prince of the late emperor. After the death of the late emperor, he should have succeeded to the throne, but the one who finally ascended the throne was his uncle - the current emperor. As the former crown prince, he either died in a foreign land or survived to the west. Otherwise, his existence would be an unstable factor for Dayin, and the Empress Dowager would never allow him to come back.

Concubine Zhen came from the Qi family, so it was natural for the Empress Dowager to take his anger at the Qi family. In the heart of the Empress Dowager, the Qi family may even think that the Qi family supports Zhou Jin. After all, if Zhou Jin succeeds to the throne, it seems that it will be more beneficial for the Qi family!

The Empress Dowager wants to punish the Qi family to show that the emperor's order cannot be violated. The best way is to force the Qi family to marry her, a blind man. After all, she is just a victim of the imperial power game.

"If the Empress Dowager really issued an imperial edict, would you marry your fourth brother?" Qi Peng asked suddenly.

Xu Shu sighed lightly, "It's not that time yet! It won't be that time!" Before the Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict, she would find a way to fulfill Xu Ting, which is to fulfill Xu Ting and to relieve herself.

"It seems you have an idea!" Qi Peng suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that Xu Shu would not marry Qi Rui was a very fortunate thing for him, and it was indeed a good thing.

"It depends on God's will!" Xu Shu murmured, hoping that she could bet right.

"God's will..." Qi Peng couldn't help but remember the reason why Xu Shu and Qi Rui made a marriage, "When you got engaged with your fourth brother, everyone said it was God's will. It can be seen that God's will sometimes not fulfill the wishes. You and your fourth brother are not satisfied with this marriage!"

"Even if God does not go to me, it will not go to you. If Qi family is in front of me, what's there to worry about?" Xu Shu dared to promise that Wan would definitely use all his strength to oppose this marriage after experiencing the blow of rumors. After all, Wan would take all the accounts on her. Even if she failed to match Xu Ting and Qi Rui in the end, Wan would still be in trouble, and this evil person would not be done by her Xu Shu.

Qi Peng also thought of Wan and blurted out, "It's you who are mother's business..." Suddenly, he felt abrupt again and stopped.

Xu Shu didn't shy away, "I reminded people that some people would kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately, it was someone else who was cheaper in the end!"

Mrs. Deng wanted to use the scandal of the Wan family to make the Wan family lose the qualification to be elected as the eldest prince's concubine so that Deng Yarong had a chance, but unexpectedly, the Yang family was the one who was attracted by the Empress Dowager in the end.

"By the way, Miss Deng Wu has been doing well recently?" Xu Shu suddenly realized that there had been no news about Deng Yarong for a long time. After Deng Yarong jumped off the car, she never wrote a letter to her.

"My cousin's condition seems to be not very good! I heard that there were several troubles before the New Year. I just calmed down before the New Year, and I have never heard of any news since then!" Qi Peng seemed helpless, "You know, my cousin was injured in our family last time. Now my aunt is very disliked by our family. She has never come back to see her grandmother after the New Year!"

Qi Peng glanced at Qi Rui and thought to himself that if his cousin had a little more time, he would be afraid that his fourth brother would forget her.

"Madam Deng is so angry!" Xu Shu smiled slightly. Although Deng Yarong is not as smart and capable as Madam Deng, her temper is somewhat similar.

"Our family is in the first place!" Although Qi Peng said that the Qi family was in the wrong, he did not look guilty on his face.

"Mrs. Deng should thank you very much. If you didn't report the message, she wouldn't have seen the true faces of some people!"

Qi Peng coughed awkwardly, "Seeing through but not talking about it is also a virtue! Besides, when you wink me, I knew you had the final say. After all, I helped you too. I was very uneasy in my heart!"

Xu Shu sneered, "Is it not so relieved in my heart? Shouldn't it be a great pleasure? How much of the humiliation and suppression you suffered after your leg lame comes from the people closest to you? The grief and anger that has been suppressed for many years finally has the chance to burst out. I just gave you a chance, should you catch it?

Your business has nothing to do with me, so you didn't help me, you were yourself."

The true thoughts in his heart were revealed by Xu Shu, and Qi Peng's face was a little uneasy. He seemed to have no secrets in front of Xu Shu. The darkest side in his heart had nowhere to hide. What was ridiculous is that it was as dark as he was still disguised as a generous and elegant gentleman in front of Xu Shu. Little did he know that Xu Shu had already seen through him at a glance and saw through him very early, but he was still like a clown who used his poor acting skills to make up for it.

"I prefer to deal with real villains compared to real villains!" Xu Shu would rather deal with Zhou Jin between Qi Peng and Zhou Jin. At least Zhou Jin never concealed his purpose and ambitions, but Qi Peng was different. He wanted to benefit and also wanted to make a name. Such a person was the most dangerous.

"What kind of person you are has nothing to do with others. It is enough to be yourself. It is not worth it to make yourself tired for the eyes of some irrelevant people!" It's like she never cared about what others think of her. She couldn't control other people's ideas, and no one else could interfere in her behavior.

Xu Shu woke Qi Peng up, and Qi Peng nodded in shame, "I admit that I am not an open-minded gentleman, but I am greedy for the reputation of a gentleman. People in the world are always more likely to accept a well-dressed person than an irresistible beggar, even if they are well-dressed and just pretended! I am probably eager to be accepted and recognized by the world!"

He has been a lame man for many years, how eager he is to be a normal person, have the social interactions that normal people should have, and experience the life of normal people. He strives to do everything that others may like, and strives to be a person who is easily accepted and recognized. Even if he has to disguise himself, he is willing to wear a false mask all the time.

"It's very tired!" Xu Shu whispered. Qi Peng was like a blind herself, struggling in the dark for many years. She also came from Qi Peng's mood. She just hoped that Qi Peng could wake up as soon as possible.

"Xu Shu, I don't want to one day I will become your enemy or someone you dislike. So, if I have something to make you unhappy, please tell me as straightforward as I just now, okay?" Qi Peng suddenly looked at Xu Shu solemnly.
