927: How do I respect you when you are like this

How do I respect you when you are like this

"Shut up!" The veins in Quan Zexi's foreheads popped, "What kind of mother tries to marry her daughter off so fast?! Stop trying to tell me what we did back then! I don't remember any of it! All I know is that this bastard is trying to sleep with my daughter, and I am not going to let that happen!"2

Jun Yexuan, "..."

The atmosphere started to get tense, so Quan Yeqing smiled and tried to ease the mood, "It's pretty normal now for couples to co-habitat. It's better to get to know each other's lifestyle before marriage anyway. What if Yexuan isn't good in that area? It'd be best to find out earlier. If she only finds that out after marriage, then it'd be too late."

Mu Jinghang collapsed onto the couch from laughing too hard. 

Jun Yexuan didn't know how he should react to this. 

"Also," Quan Yeqing wasn't done, "The earlier these two get to live together, the earlier I get to meet my great-grandson, right?"

"You shut up too!" For the first time ever, Quan Zexi yelled at his father, "How do I respect you when you are like this?! You can get a great-grandson anytime you want! It's not like you're half dead and you count on getting a great-grandson to survive. What's the hurry?! You should be worried that I get angry and make things awkward between us!"

Quan Yeqing, "..."

Qi Yusen and Qi Chengyu exchanged glances then stuck out their thumbs at Quan Zexi. 

Their uncle was a great man. 

Jun Yexuan seemed to have lost the will to live. Qiao Qing squeezed his hand and wrote something in his palm. 

Jun Yexuan's face lit up. 

Quan Zexi looked over at him, "Don't try anything funny! I'm going to order people to keep their eyes on you!"

Qiao Qing, "..."

Jun Yexuan, "..."

The meeting ended not too happily. Quan Zexi then became occupied with his plan to overthrow the monarchy. 

Ever since Yin Lei found out that Qiao Qing was Quan Zexi's daughter, he'd been anxious and stressed. 

That night, a subordinate of his came inside to report to him, "Emperor Yin, the Duke is calling a meeting."

"What?!" Yin Lei's premonition was confirmed and he shot out of his seat.

"That guy is going to cause chaos! His tail has revealed itself!" He smashed his cup then he swept everything off his table, "Bastard!"

Everything on his desk crashed down. Xu Mian was used to this so he simply waved for a maid to clean this up. "The Duke may be calling the meeting for something else. Emperor Yin, you're overthinking this."

"I'm overthinking this?! If I'm not alert, the entire country is going to be taken away from me!" Yin Lei shouted, "To call a meeting at a critical time like this can only have one explanation! He's going to ask for re-election and he wants my seat!"

Xu Mian was silent. He couldn't even convince himself that the Duke wanted the meeting for something else. 

He helped Yin Lei sit down, "Picking a new Emperor means voting. You're still the Emperor of this country and the Duke may not get the vote."

"You think I'm a fool who'd believe your words?! He's managed to gain many Dukes and citizens on his side over the years. If he calls for a country-wide election, he will for sure win!"

Xu Mian silently praised Yin Lei's self-awareness. 

"Then, Emperor Yin, what do you plan on doing?"

Yin Lei thought about it but his gaze was determined. 

"I'm not going to quit like this. I'm going to get rid of this parasite!"

Xu Mian was in shock, "Emperor, you want to… kill Duke Quan?"

Yin Lei, "What's the problem? Once he's dead, nobody else would pose a threat to me."
