I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704: Chapter 266: Empress: I will strike in the form of a Cat Lady!_2

Qin Shu fell into silence upon hearing the words, and the air inside the sedan chair was tranquil.

After a long while, she spoke, "I won’t hide it from you, mother did indeed strike a deal with Chen Mo... Ever since you were thrown into the Imperial Prison, your father has regarded you as abandoned. Since he is unwilling to act, I can only use my own means to rescue you."

"Abandoned?"

"Impossible, I am the only bloodline of the Yan family..."

Yan Linghu spoke with some guilt.

As far as he knew, his father kept quite a few mistresses.

Even though there were no offspring yet, it wouldn’t be difficult to have a few more born...

Qin Shu said with a slightly mocking tone, "In the past, your father needed to rely on the power of the Qin family, always treating me with respect, not daring to openly take concubines, so your position as the scion of the Yan family was relatively secure."

"But since he got involved with Zhuang Jingming, the Qin family became insignificant in his eyes."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, he weakened my position within the Yan family, gradually separating out the Qin family... In fact, that’s exactly what he did."

Yan Linghu was speechless for a moment.

Although he didn’t understand politics, he wasn’t a fool, and naturally understood how Yan Peizhi climbed to his current position.

A powerless and wealthless student from Jiangnan, without the support of the Qin family, would have long been devoured by the ravenous wolves in the court, leaving not even bones behind!

But precisely because of this, the Qin family knew too many of his dirty secrets. In the past, this might have been used as a bond binding the two families. But now that he’s in a high position, it’s clearly become a crack upon the golden body.

"Even if you manage to leave the Imperial Prison alive, Yan Peizhi won’t let you stay in the capital, and the Yan family’s estate has nothing to do with you."

Qin Shu looked him straight in the eyes and said decisively, "Now, you have two choices, either pretend to know nothing and return to being the young master of the Yan family, or come back with me to the Qin family. Although it can’t make you rich and powerful, at least you can be protected."

Yan Linghu didn’t expect that just after his release, his parents would have such a falling out...

Looking at those calm eyes, he suddenly felt that the Qin Shu before him was somewhat unfamiliar.

Is this still the overbearing and doting mother he remembered?

Why does it feel like she’s changed into a different person in just a few days?

Yan Linghu did not answer directly but instead asked, "Mother, you haven’t told me yet, what kind of deal did you make with Chen Mo when you came to the Imperial Prison that day?"

A slight blush flashed across Qin Shu’s cheeks, and her expression was somewhat unnatural. She said, "Ahem, let’s not talk about the past... Actually, Chen Mo is quite a good person, trustworthy, a real man..."

"There is no essential conflict between you two, you could actually try to become friends..."

?

Yan Linghu looked puzzled.

So, throwing me into the Imperial Prison, torturing me, and almost chopping me up to feed the dogs doesn’t count as a conflict?

"But I didn’t expect he had such courage, actually daring to act against the Prince Yu Mansion."

Qin Shu gazed at the massive building outside the window, her eyes flickering, "Based on what I know about Chen Mo, he won’t easily let Yan Peizhi go. After taking care of the Princely Heir, he should be targeting the Yan family next..."
