Chapter 287: entering the wrong room, sleeping on the wrong bed!

'Hmph!' Luo Qingling thought to herself.

'I don't care if you don't like me or my mother. You will still have to compromise in the end. We are destined to be the matriarchs of this family!'

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a miserable cry was heard from the western courtyard.

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other. Shi Jue carried Du Du and rushed out of the dining hall.

Luo Qingling watched the people leave one by one before finally standing up. Her eyes were filled with a proud smile. However, when she saw how miserable she looked, her anger grew.

A disdainful look appeared on her face as she returned to her own courtyard.

Everyone went to Jian Qingqiu's courtyard.

The scream that they heard came from this area. Shi Jue, Xia Weiyang, and Shi Xun had a bad feeling in their hearts.

As they stepped into the courtyard, they bumped into a person.

"Bastard! What are you doing here?" Shi Xun immediately recognized who the person was. It was Shi Rui.

Shi Rui's clothes were disheveled. He was not fully dressed when he came out. When he saw Shi Xun, Shi Rui instantly froze. "Dad!" he suddenly said.

Shi Jue and Xia Weiyang had a slight idea of what happened to him.

It seemed this was all part of Luo Qingling and Jian Qingqiu's plan.

The old man pointed at Shi Rui. His outstretched fingers trembled slightly. "You, you, bastard!" The old man was so angry that he could not even speak properly.

He was really disappointed with his son. How could he be so stupid?

He was easily tricked!

After Shi Rui came back to his senses, he looked at Shi Xun. "Dad, you saw it too. I can't let Jian Qingqiu down, so..."

"You want to marry that woman?" The old man went straight to the point. He glared at his son with an angry expression on his face.

"Yes."

Shi Xun almost fell to the floor when he heard Shi Rui's answer.

He pointed angrily at Shi Rui. "It seems that what I said last night was all for nothing. Bastard! You have no idea what you're doing!"

"Dad, Jian Qingqiu is not the kind of woman you think she is. It's my fault. I was drunk yesterday, and I entered the wrong courtyard. She didn't do anything. Dad, if you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't make things difficult for her and her daughter," Shi Rui said with an apologetic look in his eyes.

'He was drunk?' Shi Xun thought to himself.

'Hmph!'

'Who are you lying to!'

If that woman was a good person, she would have been the first to notice that Shi Rui was drunk. She should have alerted the other servants so they could assist him.

Suddenly, Jian Qingqiu hurriedly ran out. Her hair was still messy. She stood beside Shi Rui and looked at the old man with a face full of tenderness. "It's not Shi Rui's fault. Everything is my fault. It's my fault. I will leave the house today. I won't cause any more trouble for you. I..."

"Jian Qingqiu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shi Rui's expression became anxious after hearing her words. He suddenly grabbed Jian Qingqiu's hand. "How can this kind of thing be a woman's fault? I've said that I will take responsibility. I will take responsibility until the end."

"But, we can't. We all have families of our own," Jian Qingqiu said with an apologetic expression on her face.
