After that, only Su Yueyao and Wenren Qichi remained in the room.
Looking at him, Su Yueyao said calmly, "Raise your head and look at me."
Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Wenren Qichi stiffened, but obediently raised his head and looked at Su Yueyao lying on the bed.
Their eyes met, and Su Yueyao saw deep love and guilt in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Seeing him like this, Su Yueyao felt a pang of heartache, but she forced herself to ask in a calm tone.
"How do you intend to explain this to me? Your family is involved in this matter; are you going to plead for them?"
Wenren Qichi replied almost without hesitation, "My Lady, now that I am your person, I should stand with you. They..."
“If the Queen does not accept the apology from my mother, then we will do as you say.”
“What if I were to severely punish those in your Wen family who were involved in this matter? Including your father and your own brother, even take their lives?” Su Yueyao said, looking at Wenren Qichi.
Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Wenren Qichi trembled violently, his hands clenched tightly, his mouth slightly open, and his tone resigned: "I will obey Your Majesty."
Su Yueyao raised an eyebrow upon hearing Wenren Qichi's reply: "You don't consider using the life-saving grace to exchange for this matter? You know that marrying you didn't utilize this grace, and the people outside are your family."
“My lady, if it were any other matter, I might be able to help, but in this case, you are the victim. If the Wen family does something like this and is not severely punished, the news will leak out and bring you endless trouble.”
"Moreover, if I were to repay the debt of saving my life because of this, I could sense that there was no possibility between us. In that case, I would rather be dead than alive. Rather than that, it would be better to..." Wenren Qichi stopped there.
"Not even as good as what?"
"Wenren, I can roughly guess what you mean. If I severely punish your father and brother, you will be punished along with them. If they die, you die; if they live, you live. And if you are lucky enough to survive, you will enter my backyard openly and without explanation. Is that right?"
Su Yueyao asked doubtfully, but her tone was almost certain.
After a long pause, Wenren Qichi nodded slightly and said in a very soft tone, "What the Lady says is correct."
Su Yueyao quietly looked at Wenren Qichi. Seeing him like this, she was still a little moved. If he had knelt down to plead for his father and brother from the moment he entered the room, and stood firmly behind his mother's clan, she might have hardened her heart and not married him.
Because she doesn't want a husband who would push her away because of his mother's clan; she wants a relationship where he is devoted to her and puts her first.
She really didn't expect that Wenren Qichi wouldn't step on any of her sore spots. She didn't want to miss out on someone who was so sincere to her, and the two of them had already been intimate.
But she felt very aggrieved that she had let the Wen family go so easily, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to make things difficult for us. Just punish us! If we do something wrong, we should admit our mistakes and bear the consequences. This is what we deserve," Wenren Qichi said, noticing the conflict on Su Yueyao's face.
Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Su Yueyao had a sudden thought and said directly, "They did this for you, so you decide how to punish them!"
"Does the Queen want me to decide?"
“That’s right, you decide. No matter how severe the punishment you give, Wenren Qichi, I won’t interfere. This matter is over.”
After Su Yueyao finished speaking, she stopped looking at him and called out to the outside room, "Qianqian, come in."
Yang Qianxun, who was guarding outside, heard Su Yueyao's shout and went inside.
"Qianqian, I've handed this matter over to Wenren to handle. We won't get involved anymore. I want to go home."
"Yiyang has already arranged a carriage. If Ayao wants to leave, we can leave anytime."
"Your Majesty, I will have a servant bring you a set of clean clothes."
"No need to trouble yourself, we have already prepared your clothes."
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will deal with those involved according to the family rules, and there will be some compensation that Your Majesty needs to confirm," Wenren Qichi said calmly.
"No need, take the compensation from the Wen family as your dowry! I'm a little tired and want to go back to the manor."
"Then... Your Majesty, I understand." Wenren Qichi said and left.
As for Su Yueyao, Yang Qianxun tidied her up a bit, changed her clothes, and then left the room. All the Wenren family members outside had disappeared, leaving only Wenren Qichi waiting.
Wenren Qichi glanced at Su Yueyao, then immediately lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty, after I see you out of the manor, may I return in five days?"
"can."
Su Yueyao was still a little tired, so Nanfeng carried her towards the front door.
It was already late at night, and many servants in the courtyard were holding lanterns to guide them. Su Yueyao and the others had only gone halfway when they heard screams.
Nanfeng and Yang Qianxun paused in their steps. Even Su Yueyao, who was in Nanfeng's arms, heard it and instinctively looked in the direction from which the scream came.
Wenren Qichi did not explain, but instead led the way for Su Yueyao and the others according to custom. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Cui Yiyang and the Imperial Guards were already waiting.
"Yiyang..."
"My lady, the dew is heavy tonight, and your body is delicate. Please get in the carriage quickly."
Nanfeng gave Su Yueyao almost no chance to hesitate or say anything more, and got into the carriage directly. Wenren Qichi watched as Su Yueyao got into the carriage and disappeared completely into the night.
The next second, the figure walking in the night appeared beside him.
"Master, isn't this punishment too harsh on the lord and the others?"
"Only when things are serious will people learn their lesson and act recklessly. If the Wen family continues to act so recklessly, wouldn't it be better to just wipe them out?"
"But the Lord and Consort Xuan are both frail. If they are beaten, they will be difficult to care for!"
"Send someone to send a message to Sleepless, telling him to return immediately."
"Let's go to the ancestral hall. I must also be punished with caning." Wenren Qichi walked towards the ancestral hall expressionlessly.
When he arrived, Mr. Wen was holding his youngest son, listening to his sobbing.
“Father, my brother was too cruel. Thirty lashes hurt me to death. You and Father Xuan are both so old, how could you endure it?”
"If your brother hears you say that, you'll be punished."
"Ms. Su handed this matter over to your brother, which means she has already acknowledged him and let the Wen family off the hook out of respect for him. If the case had been handled impartially, we would have been in serious trouble, if not dead. These minor injuries will heal in a few days, so don't be ungrateful."
“My lord is right, this punishment is what we deserve,” said Consort Xuan from the side.
