When she returned home again, Mrs. Qi sent someone to deliver some things, including throat-soothing pills...

Wen Yu looked at it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Wu was waiting for Wen Yu to come back to settle the score for leaving the front door in the morning, but Old Lady Wen stopped her. She said something to her, "There are many things to do before you go to Beijing. Don't keep an eye on her all day! If she enters the Qi family, your son may not be able to rely on her in the future."

Wu was indignant. After thinking about it over and over again, she felt that there must be something wrong, so she called someone to investigate secretly.

…

Wen Yu was worried about Liu Lanzhou, so she ran away again the next day.

But they found that Liu Lanzhou had woken up, dressed neatly, with medicine on the wound on his face. He was sitting at the table, staring at the two little turtles on the table.

"What's going on?" asked Yan Zhu.

Yan Zhu said happily, "Mr. Song Wu personally delivered it early in the morning. He didn't know who told him that this would distract Lan Zhou from thinking about unhappy things. Besides, turtles live long and are easy to feed. They will never abandon Lan Zhou again. Rabbits, cats and dogs won't do that either. You can tell how capable Mr. Wu is!"

"...Yes, he is smart and very attentive!" Wen Yu whispered, feeling particularly sad. In this life, I can no longer be by his side. Then I must find a way to help him not go down the same old path again!

Yan Zhu was still chattering: "As soon as Lanzhou woke up, he saw them, and they stopped making trouble! How amazing is that?! The medicine is ready, but Master Qing said not to drink it yet, let's see how he is. I talked to Lanzhou for a long time, and it seemed that he was fine, but the little turtle crawled to the edge of the table and fell down. I told him that turtles would get hurt if they fell down. After a while, I watched quietly... When the turtle crawled to the edge of the table, he even knew to move inward."

"That's good!" I really didn't expect that the problem would be solved like this! "Feed him well, he doesn't know his limits, don't feed him to death."

"Manager Li asked someone to find someone who knows how to raise a pet to teach Lanzhou! Then let Li Tan, Du Juan and the others learn. Lanzhou will also be willing to eat and drink."

"Okay, let's make something easy to digest first, not too greasy."

"Uh-huh……"

…

Finally, the marriage between Wen and Qi was completed.

Madam Qi and Old Madam Wen met at the Song family's small restaurant.

Mrs. Wen obviously wanted to repair the relationship. Mrs. Qi also gave her face. So they were all happy...

Yuanyuan knew that this was her future fifth cousin's wife, and she was very happy. She pestered Wenyu and kept saying this and that, saying that she wanted to keep all her good things for Wenyu. Before Wenyu left, she asked someone to buy two little turtles, one male and one female, and gave them to Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan was almost going crazy with joy.

Wen Jiao looked at him and could no longer hold back the hatred on her face.

Madam Qi told Old Lady Wen that she would return to Beijing directly from here after her son came back from work. Before leaving, she wanted Wen Yu to go to the inn because she had something else to say.

The next day, Wen Yu arrived at the inn and met Madam Qi. Wen Yu put on her makeup and bowed.

Madam Qi smiled, stood up and pulled her up. The two of them sat down...

"Madam, that matter... Madam Cui has told you everything." Wen Yu blushed.

Madam Qi found it funny. She had gone through so much trouble, why was her face still red? "Well, I've said it all."

"I'm really sorry. I wanted to apologize these days, but I didn't have the courage..."

"Haha, no courage?" Mrs. Qi sneered at her.

"Really. Madam, you don't know..." Wen Yu said, "Wen Yu has been without a mother since she was a child, and the blood relationship is weak. When I met Madam, you treated Wen Yu warmly and sincerely, taught her, loved her, and gave your most cherished son to Wen Yu as a husband. In Wen Yu's heart, I have long regarded Madam as... my own elder, and I can't help but worry about gains and losses..."

"Good child..." Madam Qi stroked her hair, "I am a person who cannot hide things. Personally speaking, I am not annoyed by your performance, but I am quite happy."

Mrs. Qi also looked a little sad.

"Madam, do you have anything to say to Wen Yu?"

"Your marriage with Xiaowu has been decided, so I won't treat you as an outsider. I called you here today because I have a few things I want to tell you..."

"Madam, please speak."

"Alas..." Madam Qi sorted out her thoughts and said, "I will tell you about what happened in the capital. My mother's family also had a title. In a fierce battle several decades ago, almost all the men in the family were wiped out... In the end, only my great-grandfather was left. He was still a child at that time. The Cui family did not have the rule of taking concubines... You can imagine how tragic it was at that time...

My great-grandfather was very hardworking. Not only did he grow up healthily and continue his bloodline, but he also managed the family business very well. If it weren't for one thing, I guess the title would have been returned. My family doesn't pay much attention to these things, but I just want to mention them to you.

My mother was born in the Wei family of Lingnan and was a famous calligrapher and painter.”

"No wonder the lady paints so well."

Madam Qi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Neither my brother nor I can do it. My brothers all love martial arts, just like our father. Haha... My father doted on my mother all his life and gave birth to four of us. I have two older brothers and a younger brother. Strangely enough, after the accident, as if to make up for the Cui family, he always gave birth to more boys than girls. So, when I was in the boudoir, I was deeply doted on and I really didn't know what sorrow was..."

Madam Qi tells the story of the past...

The Qi family had soldiers, property, and a marquisate. Although the emperor was suspicious and ruthless, he had always been good to the Qi family.

These days must be extremely glamorous and there won't be any difficulties, right?

But who knew that I would be so sad...

"The head of the Qi family is my father-in-law, Qi Zheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan. My biological mother-in-law, Madam Zhao, has passed away. The current Madam Tan is my step-mother-in-law.

Madam Zhao gave birth to only one son, the eldest son of the Qi family, who is my husband Qi Youyi.

The second brother, Qi Youzhen, was born out of wedlock. He took his wife to southern Sichuan and had not returned to the capital for many years.

The third brother Qi Youduan is the biological son of the old lady Tan. Tan also gave birth to this one son. Now, Qi Youduan and the Marquis are staying in Ducheng. The elite 70,000 soldiers of the Qi family army are there. The third brother's wife is also there with her children. "

Wen Yu's heart moved. Mrs. Qi's special words must have a specific meaning.

"My husband and I had our eldest son, Qi Xiao, who was the first in this generation. He married Xu Minghui, a girl from the Ding'an Earl family.

The second child, Qi Hua, was born to… Aunt Xiuyun. Aunt Xiuyun is a distant relative of Madam Tan’s family. I will talk about this in detail later.”

Wen Yu felt that Madam Qi's expression changed greatly when she said this.

"Then, Qi Hua married the daughter of Wang, the Shaanxi Circuit Commissioner.

Qi Yue, the third child, is the eldest son of the third master Qi Youduan. Now, he is also following the Marquis and his father in Ducheng...

The fourth child is Qi Yu, the fourth child. He is a concubine's son, and his mother is Aunt Liu.

There are two younger ones, both of whom are Qi Youduan’s sons, and they are not in the capital either.

Aunt Xiuyun also gave birth to a daughter, Qi Xiangbao, whose nickname was Xiaomaoer.

Aunt Liu also has a daughter who is already married.

There are quite a few people in the family and the situation is very complicated.

First of all, let's talk about Madam Tan... How should I put it... She has no background, and I don't even know if her surname is Tan. She is an orphan brought back by the Marquis. I heard that she saved my father-in-law's life.

Madam Zhao had some difficulty giving birth to Qi Youyi and died of illness within a year.

The Marquis went against all odds and took great pains to remarry Tan. Over the years, he trusted and respected her.

Qi Youyi lost his mother when he was young, and was brought up by Tan. They are not biological mother and son, but they are better than biological mother and son. He obeys her every word! "

Mrs. Qi said this without any emotion.

But this made Wen Yu's heart beat faster and she listened more carefully.

"I married into the Qi family according to the order of the late Queen Mother. I think this order may have disrupted the Qi family's original plan..."

"What was the Qi family's original plan?" Wen Yu asked.

Madam Qi didn't say anything...

"Could it be that you want him to marry that Aunt Xiuyun?"

Madam Qi looked at Wen Yu with a wry smile, "Maybe!"

"But isn't Tan an orphan? Isn't she from a poor family? The Marquis married her as a concubine, and it's not like he was saving her life. Although it's a bit forced, it does make sense. But this..."

"That's true. But who knows! I was also blind when I got married. Not long after I got married, I had several concubines. Xiuyun was arranged by my parents-in-law. Concubine Liu was a subordinate of Qi Youyi. There are also maids and so on... Although our Cui family does not have these, I know what other families are like. Although I feel uncomfortable, this is how the world works..."

After hearing this, Wen Yu thought to herself, that means Madam Qi won't be putting anyone around me in the future... hehe.

Mrs. Qi had no idea what she was thinking, so she continued, "But I still felt something was wrong, so I asked around: Aunt Xiuyun is the only relative left from Tan's family, and she came to the Qi residence when she was six or seven years old. She was taught everything by Tan, and she grew up with Qi Youyi."

Wen Yu suddenly laughed. Is this true?

"What are you laughing at?" asked Mrs. Qi.

Wen Yu couldn't help herself: "I'm sorry, Madam. This reminds me of something that I can't tell you right now. But, what I told you is exactly the same thing! How can someone be so sentimental?! You can be sentimental, but you still have to obey authority and be filial to your elders.

He dares not to reveal his feelings, but still clings to his old friend. He won’t let go of power, and he also wants to hold on to his feelings. It seems that he wants everything, but he doesn’t take responsibility for anything. In the end, he always feels wronged! "

I have left this story and stepped into this story again...Wen Yu smiled bitterly.
