Li Qun would not pamper her! There were many people in the city and there were only a few safe places. If she leaked one, it would be troublesome to meet guests again.
I can't get much benefit from Li Danniu! I have been busying her for nothing all these years!
When Tan came in, Li Qun was lighting the charcoal stove. He liked to do these things by himself. He was wearing a thin light beige silk and linen coat, which looked particularly ostentatious in this winter.
A fine oiled sable cloak was thrown carelessly aside.
In the room, the wall heater had been lit long ago, but no incense was burned today. But there was still an expensive fragrance, probably from that bastard, what a picky bastard! Tan cursed inwardly.
The Marquis led troops to fight, so although the things he used were good, they were not particularly particular. Everyone in the capital knew her background, so her clothes were not vulgar on weekdays, but she didn't look down on others. She was just afraid that others would laugh at her behind her back.
Today, Tan was wearing a silk cotton skirt and coat, a fur cape, and small cotton boots. As soon as she entered the house, the fragrant and hot air immediately made her body feel hot.
She threw her mink cape aside, sat down, and said, "Something is not right lately."
Li Qun didn't look at her, nor was he in a hurry. He just focused on making tea, as if nothing else mattered.
"You failed to kill Bai Yuqing and were rescued by Duanmu Hui. In turn, Duanmu Hui beat Qi Yue. On the surface, there is no connection between the two. But how could it be such a coincidence?" Tan didn't care about him and just kept talking to himself.
Although Li Qun did not think there was any causal relationship, he also did not believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world.
"There is one more thing..." Tan glanced at him and said, "I got a message that someone went to the back street to investigate mother..."
Li Qun frowned.
He had no impression of the woman named "Niang" and no sympathy or pity for her. So, when she later became a little crazy and started talking nonsense...
At that time, Li Daya had been married to Qi Hou for only a few years, and she didn't have a suitable person under her command, so she asked him for help. He drugged her without any hesitation... and also cleared out the people around her who knew about it.
Unfurrowing his frown, he said slowly, "Even if we investigate, what can we find out? Not to mention that the only people who knew about it were the landlord's family, and they have all been dealt with. Just think about how many years have passed? How many people there are still alive? There was no gossip at that time, so what are you afraid of now? You are in a high position and have a lot of wealth, but you are worried about gains and losses..."
"That's not the case. I can't make any mistakes in what I'm going to do now. Although the Marquis has made up his mind, he can't do whatever he wants without any scruples... There's one more thing you don't know, Qi Yue..."
Tan wanted to speak, but felt a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Li Qun asked.
"I can't explain it clearly, but it seems like he likes to mess around with girls... He has some weird hobbies. What's going on? Things keep happening one after another!" Tan was very worried.
Li Qun laughed sarcastically: "You are the one who taught me. Look at my two sons, one is a Jinshi, and the other is a Juren. One of my grandsons has passed the Juren exam too."
In fact, it was not easy for his children and grandchildren to pass the entrance examination, because he had to impersonate someone else's identity and it took him a lot of effort to get their student status.
"Hello! Is that all right?" Tan hated secretly, "I am worried. What happened in the past cannot be said to be completely flawless. For example: the landlord died of a heart disease, so did my mother, and the previous marquis' wife... If people find out everything, will they be connected? Why didn't I think of a solution at the beginning?"
"What you said is ridiculous. Do you think I'm a god? At that time, it was hard for me to stand on my own! I spent a lot of money to find that medicine. The cause of death was heart disease. Even if the coroner examined it, he couldn't find anything abnormal.
If you use poison as you said, do you think the coroner is just there to eat? Any detail that goes wrong will lead to a lot of trouble. Can you still be where you are today? Humph! Don't think that you played tricks to trick Qi Zheng into marrying you regardless. But if he knew that you were the one who killed his wife..."
Tan's face turned pale, but her tone was very firm: "You don't have to say that! I did it, and I succeeded! I am a poor village girl, and I have the life I have today, what do I have to regret or be afraid of? You have been an official in the court for many years, don't you understand better than me? Which high position or which silver do you have that doesn't have these dirty things behind it?"
She was still cursing in her heart: How did you get to where you are today?
Li Qun sneered: "As long as you are happy. Now, what do you want to see me for?"
"Kill Wen Yu for me!" Tan shouted angrily.
"Alas!" Li Qun shook his head: "Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? Can you do anything? Now, the contradictions in your family have become clear. If you dare to kill Wen Yu, Qi Wu will dare to kill you!"
"He dares?!" Tan was dissatisfied.
"Why not? Qi Yue wasn't beaten? This happened in front of the Emperor! If you dare to try again, they might start with Qi Yue."
Tan was excited: "Then kill them all together..."
"Okay! Wait until you become the queen!" Li Qun was impatient.
"...So what do you say we should do now?" Tan wiped the sweat off his face anxiously.
"It's very simple!" Li Qun put the cup on the table: "Get the title. Kill the old man. Then, you can do whatever you want in the Qi family! Isn't it easy to transfer Qi Wu to the west? He will be finished without blinking an eye..."
Li Qun didn't say anything, just drinking his tea. Suddenly, someone came in and whispered something in his ear.
Li Qun smiled when he heard this. "Think about it again. Let's go, there might be a surprise when we go out... who knows?!"
After saying this, he stood up, picked up his cloak, and went out.
"Huh?!" Tan was confused when she saw him leave in the middle of his words. She waited for a while, but he didn't seem to be coming back.
Madman! They are all madman! She picked up her cloak angrily, walked out of the room, and just reached the front door.
"Grandma? What a coincidence!" Suddenly, Wen Yu appeared in front of him with a smile on her face, and Qi Wu followed closely behind her.
The room was already hot, and Tan was restless and sweaty. After being frightened by Wen Yu, she felt sweat coming out of every pore. She couldn't help but shout, "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here? Are you here to burn incense?" Wen Yu looked inside and said, "Grandma, are you meeting guests here? Whose lady is she? Please introduce her to your granddaughter-in-law." As Wen Yu spoke, she pushed aside Tan and walked inside.
Two people immediately jumped out from behind them and walked in, and Qi Wu also walked in front of Wen Yu.
The gatekeeper stepped forward and said, "Sir! This is private property, you cannot barge in. We are going to report to the police!"
Qi Wu hit the man with the knife, and the man screamed in pain and stepped aside.
Tan's face flushed, "You guys..." She stared blankly at those people who were looking around unscrupulously.
Wen Yu and Qi Wu went straight into the room where she and Li Qun had just stayed.
There was no one inside.
The water in the charcoal stove on the table was boiling, bubbling with steam, and a complete set of tea sets. The seats facing each other, and the tea that was half finished...
And... Wen Yu sniffed hard... a luxurious scent.
Qi Wu's men searched the entire meditation room carefully.
Wen Yu entered the room, walked back and forth, and knocked on the wall, wondering, "Strange, where is the person?"
Tan couldn't help but follow in. Seeing that they didn't take her seriously at all, she didn't even pretend to be at home!
Angry and annoyed... screaming: "How dare you! What are you doing?"
"Look who you are meeting! You don't even bring a maid with you..." Since Wen Yu was sure that Tan was meeting her lover, and that lover was working for her...therefore, there was an involuntary teasing and vulgar look on her face.
Tan slapped him without thinking.
Wen Yu was of course on guard against her and hid next to Qi Wu: "Oh, what did I say? Why does grandma look so angry?"
Qi Wu took a step forward and said coldly: "If you dare to do it again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Tan was shocked: "...You evil creature, have you forgotten who I am?!"
Wen Yu said, "Of course we remember! Grandma, are you dating grandpa? No, didn't grandpa say he was going to the palace today? It's definitely not grandpa, then who could it be?"
"You filthy little bitch..." Tan started to curse.
Qi Wu put his hands on his waist...
Tan was immediately stuck: "I came here to burn incense and rest my feet when I'm tired, but you are full of dirty words. Wen family tutor..."
"Please stop talking about that!" Wen Yu interrupted her: "The incense in the room is the men's incense from Xiangzhi Pavilion, right? Master Qing took me there, and the clerk recommended it to me and asked me to buy it for my husband. It's so expensive, I couldn't bear to buy it! This man that my grandmother knows is not only rich, but also has very high taste!
Who is it? With your background, you probably wouldn't be able to meet such a person. Could it be an old friend of my grandfather? Otherwise... could you ask him to come and identify it?"
Tan wanted to kill her!
