The Unkind Human Chapter 53

Charles Chu was indeed concerned about Qi Yu's matter. After that, Chu Shaotao made all his moves with the help of Charles Chu. Even if others did not care much about the prince's favor on this fiefdom, they had to consider Charles Chu's face. The royal family also began to intercede for Princess Shuyi. The Grand Princess had no one behind her, so giving Qi Yu a title was considered to repay Princess Shuyi for the friendship she had shown to the royal family over the years.

Qi Yu was still young, and was only given a title without fiefdom and real power. The emperor was not very happy about it. After much persuasion, he was willing to act kind and said that he was grateful for all the good deeds done by Princess Shuyi in the imperial city over the years and could not bear to see the princess die, so he awarded her a marquisate.

Before the emperor's edict on succession to the title was sent down, several Qi families in the imperial city had already started a commotion. After Qi Yu's three uncles learned about the succession to the title, they gathered together and after a day of discussion, they decided on a plan to find Qi Yu to "reunite with the family."

Qi Yu has always been with Chu Shaotao, either in the palace or following Chu Shaotao out to visit Chu Shaotao's old relatives to reminisce the past. The Qi family members cannot easily see him, but he is a descendant of a nobleman after all, so he has some in-laws. After making many inquiries, they asked Chu Shaotao's uncle to bring a message to Qi Yu: I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that my nephew has returned to the imperial city. I miss you very much and hope you can come to my house to chat.

After hearing this, Chu Shaotao sneered and was about to refuse. When he was engaged to the Duke of Qi, Chu Shaotao had already been granted a fiefdom. At the wedding, it was the clan members and the Minister of Rites who took the Crown Princess to the fiefdom. The following year during the New Year, Prince Rong did not come to the imperial city, so Chu Shaotao had never met the Yue family.
