Chapter 712: Tian Ding's Rage, Tian Mansion's Gossip

"Father, Qi has sent a message to the palace in Xianyang that King Jian of Qi has died, and the cause of death is unknown! The Qin officials in Qi have sent Concubine Li and other female relatives to Xianyang."

Bai Yan said to Tian Ding.

When Tian Ding heard this, he was shocked. He looked at his son-in-law Bai Yan and moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but ultimately he remained silent.

In the quiet study, Tian Ding slowly knelt behind the wooden table. It seemed that after hearing Bai Yan's words, all the strength in his body was drained away. Tian Ding supported the wooden table stiffly with one hand before he knelt down.

"I should have known this earlier!"

Tian Ding looked lonely and didn't know how much time had passed before he said this.

And behind this sentence, one could clearly feel that Tian Ding already knew which force was behind the action.

Behind Tian Ding's dejected face, perhaps there is guilt towards King Jian of Qi, helplessness as a member of the Tian clan, and helplessness about all the choices he has made.

As a minister, Tian Ding served the State of Qi for half his life. When the queen was in power, he assisted King Jian of Qi. As a cousin, Tian Ding knew even more that there had been no estrangement or suspicion between him and King Jian of Qi throughout his life.

But in the end, although Tian Ding left Linzi because of Bai Yan's matter, at that time, Tian Ding had already made up his mind to leave Qi Wang Tian Jian...

In Tian Ding's heart, this is not a betrayal!

"Bai Yan, please tell Lord Chongquan a message for me. As an old minister, I ask the State of Qin to find out the real culprit as soon as possible and not let him murder Tian Jian's descendants again!"

Tian Ding spoke under the candlelight.

The title of "old minister" was extremely sensitive in Qin State, not to mention in Xianyang. However, when instructing Bai Yan, Tian Ding paid special attention to these two words, without caring at all about mentioning his identity as an old minister of Qi State in front of Ying Kan.

"Don't worry, father-in-law!"

Bai Yan bowed and nodded, knowing that his father-in-law was preparing to show his bottom line to the Ying clan members.

"Anything else?"

Looking at Bai Yan who was still hesitant, Tian Ding, who was in a low mood, couldn't help but look at him with doubt. Even Tian Feiyan noticed that Bai Yan seemed to have something to say but didn't dare to speak.

This made Tian Feiyan confused. Now Bai Yan was the Great Minister of Qin State and also her father's son-in-law. What could he not dare to say in this study?

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

Tian Ding noticed Bai Yan's concerns and took the initiative to speak, indicating that Bai Yan could say whatever he wanted to say without any taboos.

"Father, after sending Concubine Li to Xianyang, the king plans to give her to you as your wife!"

When Bai Yan saw Tian Feiyan's urging eyes and heard his father-in-law's words, he sighed, paused, and then told the story.

As expected by Bai Yan, as soon as the words fell, Bai Yan clearly saw that his father-in-law Tian Ding's expression suddenly became furious, as if he couldn't believe it.

“This is unreasonable!!!”

As Tian Ding was furious and roaring, Bai Yan saw his father-in-law flipping the table in a frenzy, and he quickly turned sideways and raised his hand to protect his wife Tian Feiyan.

The sound of the wooden table being lifted and the rustling of tea sets and porcelain attracted the guards in the yard.

Almost in a few breaths, several muscular men holding swords were seen running into the room with their swords drawn. When they saw Tian Ding's furious expression, they realized that only the young lady Tian Feiyan and her husband Bai Yan were in the study.

All the men were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

It’s not right to retreat now, nor is it right not to retreat!

"Nothing, back off!"

Tian Feiyan's face turned pale with fright. Looking at Bai Yan who was standing in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief with her beautiful eyes and turned to look at the attendants in the mansion.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

When the followers heard what Tian Feiyan said, they looked at Tian Ding, and seeing that Tian Ding did not react, they bowed and left.

"Ying Zheng has never thought about how his father would view him if he were like this, not to mention the clansmen in Qi, but also the whole world!"

Tian Feiyan looked at Bai Yan for the first time with a look of mild anger on her pretty face.

"Except for my father-in-law, if Concubine Li is placed somewhere else, I'm afraid she will die in the future!"

Bai Yan looked at his wife helplessly, then looked at Tian Ding beside him.

"This matter is entirely up to my father-in-law. If he refuses, Bai Yan will privately ask the king to revoke his order tomorrow!"

Bai Yan bowed to Tian Ding and was not joking. If Tian Ding really refused, Bai Yan would have to bite the bullet and ask Ying Zheng to take back his idea.

Whether successful or not, Bai Yan will try.

After a while.

Seeing his father-in-law Tian Ding in a daze, indicating that he needed to calm down and think about it, Bai Yan had no choice but to take his wife Tian Feiyan away first.

Kneeling in a carriage on the street of Xianyang City, Bai Yan listened to the occasional conversations of pedestrians outside the carriage and looked at his wife beside him.

"Yan will go to the palace tomorrow and ask the king!"

Bai Yan said.

Thinking back to his father-in-law's reaction just now, Bai Yan was shocked. Tian Ding's angry look made Bai Yan worry whether Ying Zheng's actions would backfire.

"No, wait for father to think about it!"

Tian Feiyan shook her head, her face a little dazed, and even the spirit in her beautiful eyes was gone.

Seeing Bai Yan's worried look, Tian Feiyan slowly fell into Bai Yan's arms.

"Concubine Li is very important, both to the Ying clan and to Ying Zheng. Father hesitated just now, probably because he calmed down and thought of Ying Zheng. This matter at least proves that because of you, Ying Zheng has trusted father. Even if you ask him to break up with him in the future, father will not let you tell Ying Zheng..."

Tian Feiyan spoke softly, as if she felt sorry for her father, or perhaps she was thinking of her deceased mother. Tian Feiyan's beautiful eyes gradually turned red, and soon, they were filled with tears.

Tian Feiyan never opposed her father taking a wife and a concubine. After all, Tian Feiyan, who grew up under her father's wings, knew better than anyone how much her father loved her. After marrying Bai Yan, Tian Feiyan gradually realized how lonely her father, who used to be busy all day and seemed to have countless important things to do, was now alone.

But now, thinking of Concubine Li, that charming, seductive and scheming woman, Tian Feiyan would rather it be any other woman.

"If Concubine Li really enters the mansion, no matter how respectful father is to Concubine Li, I'm afraid the mansion will be in chaos!"

Bai Yan felt somewhat puzzled as he listened to Tian Feiyan's words in his arms. After all, he had met Concubine Li, and he didn't have a bad impression of her. Not to mention her appearance, her words, actions, and intelligence were all rare. After all, Concubine Li looked like a concubine, but in terms of power and status, she was the de facto Queen of Qi in the Qi Palace, and this was known to almost everyone in Qi.

Bai Yan was a little confused as to why Tian Feiyan was so resistant to Concubine Li. She even said bluntly that if Concubine Li entered the mansion, there would be chaos.

Afterwards, as Tian Feiyan spoke, Bai Yan gradually revealed an expression of surprise, especially since Tian Feiyan had keenly noticed that Concubine Li had had a special liking for her three brothers, especially the second brother Tian Sui.

It was only after years of not seeing each other that Concubine Li finally came to terms with her. Otherwise, my father would not have sent my second brother to the camp to lead the troops, exposed to the wind and sun.

"what?"

Listening to Tian Feiyan's story and thinking of Concubine Li whom he had met in the past, Bai Yan showed a look of surprise and instinctively wanted to ask Tian Feiyan if it was Tian Feiyan's illusion. But after reacting, based on Bai Yan's understanding of Tian Feiyan, he realized that Tian Feiyan was definitely not a person who talked nonsense.

Thinking of this, looking at Tian Feiyan's appearance, Bai Yan finally understood Tian Feiyan's worries.

At this moment, Bai Yan felt overwhelmed. If Tian Feiyan was right, then not to mention the struggles behind Concubine Li, not to mention that Concubine Li suddenly became his mother-in-law and Tian Feiyan's stepmother, even if Concubine Li entered the Tian Mansion, there would be a lot of trouble. If Tian Ding and Concubine Li treated each other with respect, and Bai Yan thought of Tian Sui, who was handsome and liked women in restaurants all year round...

Looking at Tian Feiyan, Bai Yan clearly remembered that Tian Feiyan mentioned that Tian Sui’s wife was not an ordinary person!

If Tian Sui’s wife finds out, the news will spread!

"This Concubine Li is really troublesome!"

Bai Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't expect that there was such a gossip behind Concubine Li's identity and between her and the Tian family.

Looking at Tian Feiyan at this moment, Bai Yan couldn't help but wonder, if Tian Ding decided to forbear and agreed to Ying Zheng, would it be Tian Ding snatching the woman that he loved, Zhongzi Tian Sui, or would it be Tian Sui...

As Bai Yan was thinking, his scalp tingled and his mind was in a mess. When he was a child, he listened to his mother and grandmother talking about gossip, absurd things that had been circulating in other villages and Linzi City, especially things that happened among the gentry.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Bai Yan would actually be able to witness such a thing happen with his own eyes.

"Then Gui Hanzi is the trouble!"

Tian Feiyan looked at Bai Yan with some resentment. Even though Tian Feiyan was in Xianyang, she knew everything that happened in Qi in the past.

When King Jian of Qi surrendered to Qin, Gui Hanzi often spoke up for Bai Yan behind his back.

However, looking at the current situation, since Ying Zheng has decided to settle Concubine Li in his father's mansion, it is absolutely impossible for him to give Gui Hanzi to Bai Yan as a concubine.

According to the current situation, Tian Feiyan guessed that Ying Zheng would most likely betroth Gui Hanzi to various princes, among whom Fusu was the most likely. After all, Fusu's age and status were all there, and the Chu officials in the Qin court would certainly do their best to agree to this matter.

"Don't worry, after the sacrifice, Yan will also lead the troops outside! There will be no more contact!"

Bai Yan looked at the resentful look in Tian Feiyan's tearful eyes, and quickly smiled in a flattering manner, telling Tian Feiyan that he would never contact her again in the future.

"What if Fusu succeeds to the throne in the future?"

Tian Feiyan frowned and looked straight at Bai Yan.

Tian Feiyan believed that Bai Yan would not deceive her. After all, after watching and interacting with the two sisters Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, Tian Feiyan realized better than anyone else how Bai Yan felt about her. But she couldn't resist the fact that Gui Hanzi also had feelings for Bai Yan!

If Gui Hanzi was really betrothed to Fusu in the future, and Fusu succeeded to the throne decades later, would Gui Hanzi, who became the queen of Qin, have feelings for the court official Bai Yan again?

Looking at Bai Yan in front of him, thinking about what he had learned about Qi in the past and Gui Hanzi's actions, Tian Feiyan already had the answer in his mind.

Will!!!

　As mentioned earlier, Bai Yan had contact with Concubine Li and the two were just cooperating.

　　And Concubine Li is still obsessed with Tian Sui, which has been foreshadowed in the previous article!

　　This is gossip!

　　As for Gui Hanzi, I will explain her later.

　　It is common for the Queen to like ministers in the court. After all, this happens in later generations!!!
