After he came back and had a big fight with Madam Qi, he moved in openly.
Aunt Xiuyun sat alone, with a sad look on her face.
He felt distressed and comforted her softly, "Don't worry. The doctor has checked and mother is fine. She is talking to father now! I have already told Cui about the matter."
"Didn't I tell you to talk about it later?"
"Don't be afraid. I've made up my mind. Next, we have to take care of our own business. First, the kitten's marriage, and then find a town that you like. Besides, you are not following me to suffer. You need money! I have to figure it out..."
…
When Qi Wu came back in the evening, he heard Tan swearing at his mother and wife. His face became gloomy and he wanted to turn around and see his mother.
At this moment, someone came from the front and said: The Marquis invites you, and asked the Fifth Master and the Fifth Madam to come over.
The two men arrived at the front study and paid their respects to the Marquis according to the rules, but both of them looked unhappy.
Qi Hou pretended not to notice: "How is your mother?"
Qi Wu said: "My grandson just came home, and I haven't gone to see him yet."
Qi Hou turned to look at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu said, "Grandfather, mother didn't say anything. But my granddaughter-in-law knows that she is sad."
Qi Hou said, "We just had a conversation today, let's forget about it. You two can try to persuade her later. She's already this old, it's not good to be angry all the time!"
Qi Wu and Wen Yu didn't say anything.
Marquis Qi was helpless and continued, "Yesterday, the incident in the palace, although the emperor reprimanded and beat him, and Duanmu apologized. However, the Qi family also lost face. Your grandmother loves her children the most. She feels sorry for Qi Yue's accident, and she would also feel sorry for other grandchildren who encountered the same thing. She is angry but has no way to vent it. You, as the younger generation, should be more considerate of her!"
"Grandfather, my granddaughter-in-law is young, so she may not be able to judge people accurately. She has been married into the Qi family for a short time, so she knows some things, but I don't know whether to tell her..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Grandfather, don't blame me if my granddaughter-in-law says so. She thinks that my third brother might have brought the beating upon himself yesterday!"
Qi Hou was already unhappy with Qi Wu's performance yesterday, and when he heard what Wen Yu said, he flew into a rage: "Wen Yu! Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Grandfather, have you ever thought that...what Jinzi said might be true?" Wen Yu opened her two beautiful big eyes and looked at the old man.
Qi Hou narrowed his eyes and said, "You must have evidence for what you say. If you make up stories, stir up trouble, and slander your own brothers, don't blame grandfather..."
"Then I will tell you one thing! I haven't even told my husband about this matter. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. But if it gets out and there are any adverse consequences, I will not be responsible..."
“Stop talking nonsense!”
"Master Wen's daughter, Wen Shizhu, came to our house before she was recognized. Xiaoji, the maidservant of the grandson's wife, went to the second gate to meet her. When she came in, she met Qi Yue in the garden.
He blocked their way and stared at Zhuzhu wantonly. Xiaoji felt something was wrong, so he took Zhuzhu off the main road and tried to avoid him through the grass path. As a result, he actually chased after him! Xiaoji protected Zhuzhu behind him, saying that this was the guest of the grandson's wife. Qi Yue stared at Zhuzhu with straight eyebrows and eyes, and insisted on asking Zhuzhu's name. She also told Xiaoji to get out of the way and threatened to beat her to death. Fortunately, a few maids from the other courtyard passed by at that time, and Xiaoji had time to pull Zhuzhu back. At that time, the two were so panicked that they almost lost their shoes..."
Wen Yu looked at Qi Hou as she spoke, her face already as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Afterwards, the grandson's wife was very angry and told the matter to her mother. She hoped that her mother would tell her grandfather and grandfather and punish him severely. But her mother said that Zhuzhu was a simple and kind girl and should not be involved in such things. If the news got out and he continued to talk nonsense, Zhuzhu would suffer in the end.
So, the granddaughter-in-law could only endure it. The mother felt that it was not good to not mention such a black or white, so she privately found the third aunt and asked her to take care of the family and her son. After that, the granddaughter-in-law was not happy with Qi Yue and Zhu.
Grandfather, if Lord Wen knew about this, he would not beat him because he was a civil servant. But the words he said were no less severe than Duanmu's beating! Therefore, my granddaughter-in-law inferred that what Jinzi described yesterday was probably not slanderous to him! The beating he received was not really unjust. "
Qi Hou instinctively didn't believe it, "How is this possible?! As for what you said about Miss Wen... Even if it happened, it's possible that he saw a stranger in the house and felt strange, so he asked an extra question. He's a soldier, so it's normal for him to be a little vulgar."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "When mother came to see Third Aunt, Third Aunt also said the same thing."
Marquis Qi was choked, feeling that this little girl was really tricky!
"Since you explained it this way, I won't say anything else. But I still feel a little regretful. I should have told you about that matter at the beginning. You could have punished him or taught him a lesson, so that he would know the consequences. Maybe what happened yesterday wouldn't have happened."
Are they really talking about Qi Yue?
Thinking of that handsome grandson, wearing a silver helmet and armor, riding an iron spear and a white horse, moving freely on the battlefield, and receiving so many praises!
Every time he returned to the city, how many young girls and wives would throw handkerchiefs and purses at him? How did he become a frivolous and frivolous person?
Wen Yu continued, "For no reason, the relationship between the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion has become like this, and you still feel that they have let the Qi family down. What's worse is: I don't know what the emperor will think."
Qi Wu also said: "Grandfather, the emperor has a lot of affection for you. But let's not squander it!"
"Okay. Grandfather will investigate what you said. If it is found that he did misbehave, he will be punished without mercy. Grandfather will say one more thing. Grandfather has seen your grandmother's words and deeds over the years. She is a kind old lady at home and a gentle lady outside.
What happened yesterday was too unexpected... That bastard Duanmu Hui was already furious. If the emperor hadn't arrived in time, your third brother would have been on the verge of death. Not to mention your grandmother, even your grandfather couldn't recover for a long time.
Due to her background, she didn't know how to deal with this matter, and when you contradicted her, she spoke without thinking. Just now, she also felt that it was inappropriate, but... she couldn't let the elders apologize to you or your mother, right? Listen to grandpa and let this matter go. "
"Since you have given the order, I will obey it. My granddaughter-in-law will also persuade mother well..." Wen Yu nodded.
"Grandfather, today, my grandson went to Duanmu's house." Qi Wu said.
Qi Hou still felt awkward.
"Originally, Ayu wanted to move Master Qing out these two days. But in the end, she couldn't leave the house. Duanmu meant that if she didn't have time to move, she could just live here for now... He would take care of her food and drink, and we didn't have to pay for it."
"Grandfather, look at what General Duanmu did. He is very straightforward. He doesn't beat anyone he catches!" Wen Yu added.
Marquis Qi was in mixed feelings. It seemed that the only way to save some face was to treat this matter as a fight without acquaintance.
Look, he and Xiaowu get along pretty well!
Alas, I didn't expect that he would have to take care of these things! "You guys can handle these things on your own, but you still have to move out as soon as possible."
"Yes. Then, can my granddaughter-in-law still go out like before?"
"Go ahead. It's just Duanmu's matter, don't mention it at home! As for your mother... your eldest brother is not here, just spend more time with her."
On the way back, Qi Wu was still unhappy, so he comforted her gently, "Don't take it too seriously, mother is not angry anymore. Sooner or later, you will be happy. How did Duanmu feel after being beaten?"
Qi Wu smiled: "Today he is lying on the bed! Yibai went to accompany him. Maybe to thank him for avenging Master Qing, Yibai even played a song for him. He was supposed to play another game of chess with him, but Duanmu kept asking him to play. It seems that Yibai was holding his nose and forcing himself to endure it...
Duanmu's laughter was heard outside the courtyard. I told them that you can't leave the house for the time being, and asked cousin Song to help move. Duanmu hurriedly said don't move yet. I will do it myself after he recovers. "
"Yi Bai's chess and music skills are priceless. He still won!"
…
Under the lamp, Mrs. Xu was stroking her belly and laughing.
"I never thought my grandmother was so powerful! The tiger is showing its might! It feels so good!"
There was a nanny beside her who was quite sensible. She whispered to her, "Grandma, you should go over there and take a look!"
"Let me look at her?! What are you talking about? Even if I see a flower, she won't be nice to me! What's more, the Xu family is not the Wen family. They have never taught the women in the family to be shameless!"
"Grandma, you have to think about it carefully. In the future, you will live with the Madam. To put it bluntly, if anything happens to the old lady, who will support you?"
"Haven't you figured it out yet? How cruel they are, alienating me and Qi Xiao... How did he treat me before? How does he treat me now? Mother-in-law is stupid and arrogant, it was all the idea of that bitch Wen Yu! Grandmother was right to scold her, she is a bitch!"
She thought about it and felt very sad: "My husband doesn't agree with me. He has a gloomy face when he comes home and keeps drifting away from me. This time he is even more straightforward and just hides away! And I'm still pregnant!" Her eyes turned red again.
"I don't need to curry favor with her. The most important thing now is to give birth to a son and manage the household again. When my husband comes back, I won't lose my temper with him and will try to win him over... I have a husband and an eldest son, so even if something happens to the old lady, I'm not afraid of her!"
