The other granddaughters-in-law still hadn't recovered from their expressions. They stood up carefully and bowed quietly before leaving.

Only Xiaowu's wife, after her tears dried, looked normal, as if nothing had happened. Who the hell is she?!

And my old wife, the one I remember and the one they just talked about...

What's wrong with these women?

Wen Yu went straight back to Madam Qi's room, "The Marquis didn't get angry with you, did he?"

"Grandfather doesn't look happy, but he has restrained himself." Wen Yu disagreed.

Seeing Madam Qi's sad expression, Wen Yu coaxed her: "Mother, you should be happy that she lost her temper today. Didn't you see that the eldest sister-in-law was frightened and covered her stomach with a look of surprise. She didn't expect that the most noble and considerate grandmother would have such a face."

"Humph, she will be surprised in the future!" Madam Qi has completely let go of Xu: "Ah Yu, that person is obsessed with things, suppresses his temper, and beats around the bush. I really don't care about what he wants."

"We don't care about it, but we can't let her get it!" Wen Yu taught her badly. "If all the men in the Qi family were as foolish as them, inheriting the title and commanding the army... To be honest, it's not a good thing. They might get involved in some bad things, or lose the battle and the land. In the end, it will implicate us. If we can't get it, then destroy it. Anyway, if our ancestors look for unfilial descendants, they won't find us!"

As they were talking, the "unfilial son" Qi Youyi came in.

"Ms. Cui, what are you doing?" he said in an angry voice.

After entering the door, I saw Wen Yu there, and said sternly: "Xiaowu's wife, you go down first!"

Wen Yu stood up and pretended to leave, but she didn't take a step and just looked at Madam Qi.

Madam Qi grabbed her and said, "Wen Yu is with me, just say whatever you want to say!"

She doesn't even call me "you". This woman is really going crazy. Qi Youyi was so angry that he glared at her fiercely: "How have you made your mother so angry?"

Madam Qi felt that Wen Yu was patting her. Maybe she didn't want her to get angry, so she smiled coldly: "Yes, she is very angry! Her true nature came out, just like the women in Niujia Village scolding their daughter-in-law!"

"You!" Qi Youyi pointed at her, "With your current expression, are you a lady from a wealthy family?"

"Oh! You're right! I really am a genuine lady from a noble family. I am what I am and I never pretend!" Mrs. Qi made him even more angry.

"Cui Fengying, do you think I can't do anything to you?" Qi Youyi threatened. He really wanted to divorce her, drive her away, or even... kill her! Yes, she deserved to die! Madam Qi looked like she knew everything: "Qi Youyi, do you also think I can't do anything to you? You think I can't leave the Qi family, right? It seems that you really don't understand me at all!"

Qi Youyi thought about it for a while and gave up. At least, he couldn't touch her while Mr. Cui was alive.

So, he sighed and said, "We have been arguing for a lifetime, which is really meaningless. I have decided: after the New Year, I will find a job abroad and take Xiuyun away. Now, I want to tell you that I will not take the title of the Qi family. I will give it to Third Brother Yu!"

These days, Aunt Xiuyun worked hard in her own way, both in bed and out of bed. Finally, she made Qi Youyi realize that if he got the title, it would be very bad for both of them.

Then, he planned to take Xiuyun to a small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters, live a wealthy and leisurely life, with only each other and no longer worrying about anything. All these complicated right and wrongs, battlefield killings, all abandoned! Madam Qi opened her mouth and replied: "Who cares..."

Wen Yu pulled her and said, "Mother!" Then she turned to Qi Youyi and said, "Father, I'm afraid that your opinion alone doesn't count in this matter!"

"What did you say?" The daughter-in-law interrupted, and she was talking about this... Qi Youyi simply couldn't believe it!

Wen Yu said calmly, "I didn't ask for anything before my daughter-in-law married in. So I know that the reason why the late queen granted the marriage was because the Qi family had a title. Otherwise, you would have only been a sixth-rank officer at the time... Not to mention how much the late queen loved my mother, it's impossible for the only legitimate daughter of the Cui family to marry like this!"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? You are allowed to say that?" Qi Youyi was puzzled. What was wrong with this woman? No wonder Cui married her. It turned out that she was just like Cui, lawless!

"Father, this is the truth! You see, even my daughter-in-law could find out about it. Moreover, my daughter-in-law also found out that after the emperor ascended the throne, there was a period of time when he took back the titles of some meritorious families, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.

The Qi family was able to escape the disaster because of my mother's marriage. So the Qi family also benefited from this marriage. You can't just use my mother when you need her, and then say she has nothing to do with you after you've used her, right?"

"I don't know where you heard all this nonsense from. Let me tell you, it's complete nonsense." Qi Youyi shouted.

"Nonsense?" Madam Qi laughed. "I'm afraid you, a fool, don't know! What do you know about this family's affairs?"

"Stop instigating me." Qi Youyi felt that he had seen through their plans. He smiled faintly and said, "The title belongs to my father. He can give it to whoever he wants. You are wasting your time..."

"Father, I am going to refute you again. This title is not from my grandfather. It is the honor that the great-grandfather of the Qi family obtained by risking his life to assist the emperor to gain the world. And it is also the family rule set by him. So, even if that great-granduncle is so talented, the great-grandfather did not give him the title. Rules are rules! Even my grandfather has no right to ignore it!"

"Hehe, but... I can choose not to answer it!" Qi Youyi was full of evil humor.

"You have no shame!" Qi Youyi became anxious and started scolding his daughter-in-law.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi burst into laughter, and all her previous depression disappeared.

"Qi Youyi, you are so promising. I don't know how you achieved all those military exploits! Ah Yu, if you want it, your mother will risk her old face to help you fight for it! Then, you will be the most outstanding one among the wives of marquises in the capital!"

"Thank you for your good words, mother!" Wen Yu smiled.

“You, you…”

"Qi Youyi, do you not want it, or do you know that they have no intention of giving it to you?"

Qi Youyi couldn't argue with them, so he stopped talking. He looked coldly at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...

Madam Qi did not let him go: "How old are you? Even granddaughters are running around everywhere, but you haven't even become a prince. Even if you are deaf and can't hear the rumors and jokes outside, you still look at it. Are there any families like this in the capital? Even if they fight to the point of bloodshed, murder and arson, there is still a clue!"

Qi Youyi still couldn't help but said, "I'm not as vulgar as you. I don't care about those things at all."

Madam Qi clapped her hands and said, "Okay, then we will speak for you outside later: Your father is unwilling to give you the title. It's not because he values ​​the third son more, it's not because your... mother... wants to leave the title to her biological son, and it's not because you are confused and incompetent. It's because... you are noble and regard fame and fortune as dirt! Okay?"

I can't continue the conversation today.

Qi Youyi left angrily.

…

After everyone left, Marquis Qi sat next to Tan with a helpless look on his face.

Tan turned to one side and cried.

This woman was extremely strong. For her own sake, she dared to take up a knife and fight, and came back covered in blood. She never shed a tear... "Yan Ling, why are you doing this?"

Tan cried and said, "In this family, it seems that I am happy all day long without any worries, but who knows how much sadness and sorrow I have to endure? How much insolence and contempt they show me to make people say I am generous? Just now, you heard everything, right? Wen Yu, she is just a granddaughter-in-law, but she dared to stand up to me and say one thing to me. Don't you see it? They look down on me!"

She cried for a while, then sobbed and said, "I thought that as long as I cared more about them, protected them more, was less picky, had fewer rules, and treated them with sincerity... I could always gain their respect. But you see..."

The Marquis was in a state of confusion. He was unhappy with what had happened in the past two days, but he couldn't express it...

"They also said that they didn't know whether I performed the concubine's etiquette in front of my sister's tablet or not! They didn't know...but you did know! You saw it with your own eyes, didn't you? I performed all the etiquette!"

Tan Shi would not make any mistakes in such matters. Especially when Marquis Qi was around, she would take the initiative to propose various sacrifices long in advance, and she arranged everything in great detail.

Qi Hou and Qi Youyi both recognized her very much and were very moved...

So of course he nodded: "I know."

"They keep calling me stepmother and concubine! I have always been one, and I am not afraid of what they say. But is this what they mean? They can't find any other excuse, so they use this to humiliate me!"

Qi Hou was confused... "Don't think too much. I know you have been wronged. I will suppress them later. It's just... that thing hasn't been done yet, so you have to hold back a little!" He was also a little annoyed.

Tan suddenly turned around and said, "My Lord, do you think they know your plan?"

Without waiting for Qi Hou to answer, she thought about it seriously again: "The recent few things are not right. Xiao Ge'er was kicked out for no reason. Yue Er and... most likely, they know your plan. So, they are targeting us from all sides!"

Tan's words were vague, and there were no specific events or evidence, but she just wanted to pull Qi Hou to her camp.

After a lot of preparation, something will work...

The swimming pool that I often go to is under renovation, so I have to stop swimming four times a week.

After I started reading this book, I wrote at least 5,000 words every day and didn't do much else.

The scale at home was broken for a few months, so I bought a new one yesterday. It arrived this morning, and as soon as I measured it, I felt bad...
