Chapter 172 Exploitation
After Qiu Min finished speaking, she turned around and left. Ji Qingqing's face turned green.
She knew that with Qiu Min's personality, she would definitely do something disadvantageous to her after leaving home today.
Maybe she would also reveal that I had instigated her to target Ji Yuntang at the palace banquet.
At this juncture, if her reputation is damaged and her moral character is compromised, it will be even more difficult for her to marry Luo Jingshen in the future.
Ji Qingqing immediately ran forward, stopped Qiu Min, and said to her: "Sister Qiu Min, don't be angry first, can't I help you to arrange the garden with my eldest brother?"
She felt that since she and Ji Huaiche had been angry for so long, the other party must have realized his mistake, and it was time for her to give him a way out.
And this time, meeting him under Qiu Min's name is definitely a good opportunity.
Qiu Min's face instantly lit up with a smile, but in her heart she hated Ji Qingqing even more.
You see, she knew that Ji Qingqing was pretending. She could obviously help her but was unwilling to do so. She would not bow her head until she cut off all ties with her.
This kind of person is just cheap.
"Then I would like to thank Sister Qingqing."
Ji Qingqing responded perfunctorily. She asked Qiu Min to go to the garden and wait while she went to help her invite Ji Huaiche over.
Qiu Min naturally agreed a lot. After she left, Ji Qingqing went to Songjiang Courtyard to find Ji Huaiche.
At that time, Ji Huaiche was reading files in the study. When he saw Ji Qingqing looking for him, he was very surprised.
After all, he had knocked on Ji Qingqing's door for seven consecutive days, but she ignored him and said she never wanted to see him again.
Ji Huaiche asked expressionlessly, "Why are you here?"
Ji Qingqing's eyes were red, and there were sparkling tears in the corners of her eyes. She said pitifully: "Brother, are you still angry with me?"
"I'm sorry. I was too willful before. I didn't understand how hard my brother worked. I even deliberately acted like a spoiled child and ignored you. I know I was wrong now."
"I came here today to apologize to my brother. I hope you can forgive me this time, okay?"
Ji Huaiche was shocked and looked surprised. He looked at Ji Qingqing with moist eyes. After all, she was the girl he had doted on for fifteen years, so his heart softened in the end.
"Forget it, I won't bother with you this time. Don't be so unreasonable in the future."
"If His Royal Highness knew your temper, I'm afraid he would be resentful of you in the future."
Ji Qingqing's eyes immediately curved up, she ran up happily and grabbed Ji Huaiche's sleeve.
"Thank you, brother. I knew you were the best."
Ji Huaiche smiled, and the two of them seemed to have returned to their previous brotherly love.
Ji Qingqing was still young, and all her thoughts were written on her face. Seeing her sad face, Ji Huaiche asked, "You came to see me today, I'm afraid it's not just to apologize, right?"
"Tell me, have you encountered any unsolvable difficulties and need help from big brother?"
Ji Qingqing's eyes wandered around, and she said weakly, "Brother really has a sharp eye. I can't hide this from you. But I told you, please don't be angry."
"As you know, I am good friends with Miss Qiu from the House of the Minister of Revenue. She has admired you for a long time and has always wanted me to help her make an appointment with you. Can you go meet her now, brother? She is in the back garden of the Marquis's Mansion."
As soon as the words fell, Ji Huaiche's face instantly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You are really making a fuss!"
"Miss Qiu is still unmarried, and Yunying is still unmarried. If you ask me to meet her in private, wouldn't that be destroying the girl's reputation?"
"If this gets out, how can I put my face aside?"
Seeing him suddenly become so angry, Ji Qingqing was also a little unhappy. She always felt that Ji Huaiche was not as patient with her as before.
Look at how fierce he is. Is this the right attitude towards his sister?
"Brother, why are you so fierce? I just asked you to meet Miss Qiu and have a few words. What does this have to do with a private meeting?"
"Besides, she has been forcing me to ask her to date you. Last time it was at the entrance of Dali Temple, and this time it was in the back garden. If I don't help her, she will break up with me."
"Miss Qiu likes you. If you don't like her, why don't you just reject her?"
Ji Qingqing's words were so confident that they made Ji Huaiche feel a headache.
"You make it sound so easy. You know exactly what she thinks of me, but you still let me go to see her. Are you afraid that her family can't rely on our mansion?"
Although the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and the Ministry of Revenue's Mansion are old friends, Qiu Min's mother, Qiu, is not an easy person to deal with.
Over the years, Qiu had been intentionally or unintentionally telling Meng about Qiu Min's marriage, wanting her to marry into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, but Meng always evaded the question with various excuses.
First, although Meng was close to Mrs. Qiu, she did not like her daughter Qiu Min and thought she was stupid.
Secondly, the Minister of Revenue is a member of the Prince of Qi's party, and Ji Qingqing will marry the prince in the future. Although the Yongning Marquisate currently remains neutral and has not taken sides, it is only a matter of time before they surrender to the prince.
If the prince knew that they had married into the Qi Wang party and Ji Qingqing was close to Qiu Min, her marriage would most likely be called off.
The reason why the two families can live in peace now is because the King of Qi and the Crown Prince are still peaceful in the court and have not torn their faces.
If the competition for the throne really becomes fierce and brothers kill each other, the relationship between the Yongning Marquisate and the Ministry of Revenue's Mansion will probably break down.
However, Ji Qingqing didn’t understand the interests involved at all; she only cared about her own thoughts.
"Brother, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me by not going to see Miss Qiu?"
"Before, in front of the second and third brothers, you kept saying that I was your favorite sister and that you would give me whatever I wanted. Now I just want you to meet Miss Qiu, and you don't want to?"
"In that case, I will stay away from you from now on and never come to see you again."
Ji Qingqing's eyes were filled with resentment. She said this angrily and turned to leave, but was stopped by Ji Huaiche.
"Wait a minute."
Ji Qingqing paused, and heard Ji Huaiche say: "I'm going to see her this time for your sake, but this won't happen again."
"I have no objection to you being close to Miss Qiu, but next time something like this happens, don't look for me again."
Ji Qingqing was delighted.
She automatically ignored the rest of Ji Huaiche's words and only heard four words: "I'll go see her."
She blinked her eyes, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very well-behaved.
"I know that my elder brother treats me best."
Ji Huaiche said nothing and turned away.
