Qin Jinhao was scolded until his face darkened, he could not help but defend himself. âI really canât endure the gaze Mu Qingge looks at me with. Mother, donât you know that the commoners keep spreading rumors about our flirtish relationship and says that weâre homosexual? How can I tolerate this tarnish in my reputation? Besides, itâll be extremely bad for my future if Father believes in those rumors. I told He Cheng to properly teach Mu Qingge a lesson and humiliate him, so that he would keep himself in check. Who wouldâve known that he would go to Sunset Wilderness and push himself to death? How can you blame this on me? Besides, after knowing his whereabouts, Iâve also accompanied Mu Xiong out of Luo Du to look for Mu Qingge with concern.â
âFool! Youâre such a fool! If you canât even endure some looks of admiration, how can you be successful? If Mu Qingge really disregarded of your gender and loved you, isnât it something good for you?â Jiang Imperial Consort really wanted to poke the person in front of her until he woke up figuratively.
âMother!â Qin Jinhao was shocked.
Seeing that he completely did not understand, Jiang Imperial Consort could not help but shake her head. âDonât forget, Mu Qingge is your brother-in-law in name. Back then, I told you to get close to him and take the chance to get him on our side because of Changle. Changle is your biological sister, but Empress Dowager arranged for her to marry Mu Qingge. Heâs just a good-for-nothing. No matter how handsome he is, how can he deserve my daughter? However, even the Emperor canât easily defy Empress Dowager, so we can only tolerate it. Even so we still need to completely dig out Mu Qinggeâs worth for us to use. Mu Qingge is Mu Xiongâs only bloodline. If you can get him on our side, it will be very useful for your future. Besides, with his relationship with Changle, nobody would dare say that youâre building your own camp and secretly getting close to the aristocratic children to build your power. However, youâ¦â
Qin Jinhaoâs face kept changing as she went on and on. He complained, âMotherâ¦â
It was not that he did not understand this logic, but Jiang Imperial Consort did not know how uncomfortable he felt when Mu Qingge got close to him, yet he still had to force a smile and act like he was very happy.
He was just a good-for-nothing, a useless son and a disgusting homosexual. How did he deserve Qin Jinhaoâs meticulous planning to get close to him? Once he thought of it, he was disgusted and lost his appetite.
If someone else in the Mu Residence admired him this much⦠For example, Bai Xiyue who lived in the Mu Residenceâ¦
A white and gentle figure suddenly flashed across his mind, which instantly put Qin Jinhao in a trance.
âHaoâer? Haoâer?â
Jiang Imperial Consortâs displeased voice made Qin Jinhao recover his senses.
When he met with his motherâs eyes, he heard her scold him sternly, âWhat are you thinking? How dare you not focus when Iâm talking to you? Youâre so out of your mind, it seems like you donât want to improve. Your actions in this incident have really disappointed me. In order for you to remember this lesson properly and learn how to restrain yourself, Iâm punishing you and youâre grounded for ten days. In these ten days, you had better stay in your Prince Rui Mansion and read up on war plans and methods. Weâll stop interacting with the He family for now. When the rumors subside, just comfort the He family properly. You havenât inherited that precious seat and if you do anything that cuts your own arms, others would not like it. Thatâs it, Iâm a little tired. Youâre dismissed.â
Qin Jinhao walked out of Feng Yi Palace with a darkened face.
He had not been so sternly reprimanded by his mother in so many years.
It was all this damned Mu Qinggeâs fault.
After pushing all the blame to the hated person, Qin Jinhaoâs cold features were slightly distorted, and his hands that were hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
One day, I will kill you to wash away all the humiliation youâve brought me!
