1758 It’s Difficult For Me To Be Understanding Of You
Just as the atmosphere in the hall got even more strained, Chu Qi snapped out of it and suddenly knelt before Lu Liangwei. “I have crossed the line of morality and I ask for Your Highness to hand out my punishment.”
Ji’er got anxious when she saw this. “Lil Qi, I was the one…”
“Don’t beg for my mercy, Ji’er. I was the one who did wrong.” Chu Qi cut her off.
Lu Liangwei sneered. “Chu Qi, Ji’er mishandled herself but you’re so much older than she is, but you couldn’t do the right thing? When she crossed the line, all you did was followed suit? It doesn’t matter what the reason was, I will still be furious over this and it’s difficult for me to be understanding of you.”
She did not object to her children falling in love, but she found it difficult for them to cross the line before getting married. After all, her children were still young and had not come of age.
“I understand that. Please punish me, Your Highness.” Chu Qi knew he had done wrong and did not want to give himself any excuses.
He kowtowed to Lu Liangwei the moment he was done talking.
It upset Lu Liangwei to see him this way.
After all, Chu Qi was about her age and they had known each other for many years. She knew him very well.
Even though he had always served by Long Yang’s side, he rarely kneels in greeting, much less kowtow to anyone like he was doing now.
Chu Qi had always been a prideful man.
However, his pride was now forgone and completely obliterated.
Ji’er’s face was filled with tears and she could no longer sit still. She got up and knelt on the ground too as she exclaimed, “Mother, this really isn’t Lil Qi’s fault. I’m to blame. I was the one who seduced him…”
Lu Liangwei could no longer take it. She lifted her hand, wanting to slap Ji’er in anger, but when she saw Ji’er’s face filled with tears, her heart softened and she did not render the slap in the end.
“Ji’er, how could a young lady who isn’t married say such things?” She put her hand down and looked at Ji’er painfully.
“Mother, I’ve already gone through a wedding ceremony with Lil Qi. I’m officially his wife now!” Ji’er lowered her head and said in despair, “He wasn’t the one who took advantage, I was the one who forced him.”
“Stop saying such nonsense, Ji’er. It has nothing to do with you. Stop talking,” Chu Qi berated her in a low voice as he pulled on her hand.
Lu Liangwei was stunned. “What do you mean? What do you mean by you’ve already had a wedding ceremony? When did that happen?”
Ji’er pushed Chu Qi’s hand away. “Lil Qi, I know you’re trying to protect me, but whatever happened was my doing. I can’t let you take responsibility on your own.”
Chu Qi frowned. “But…”
Lu Liangwei asked in a low growl, “What exactly happened?”
“Mother…” Ji’er tugged on her sleeve. “Please don’t be mad at Lil Qi. If you need to punish someone, let it be me. It was my fault.”
Lu Liangwei sighed and pulled her up. She gave Ji’er a handkerchief to wipe her face. “Stop sobbing like that. It’s hurting me even more to see you this way. It doesn’t matter whose fault this is, Lil Qi is the man, after all. It’s only right that he takes responsibility for everything that has happened now and not hide behind you. You can’t always be begging for mercy on his behalf. You should sit properly now that you’re pregnant and be careful not to affect the baby inside you.”
Ji’er shook her head. “It’s not like that, Mother. I lied to Lil Qi. When I found out about the truth from all those years ago, I couldn’t let it go and didn’t want to see Father. I even thought about leaving everything behind, but at the same time, I was selfish enough to want a child with Lil Qi, which was why I… I…”
She did not need to finish her sentence for Lu Liangwei to guess what happened.
Lu Liangwei was silent.
It took a long while before she gave a long sigh. “Things have already escalated to this point. Get up first, Lil Qi.”
