Madam Qi and Madam Cui appeared at the door, followed by Wen Yu and County Lady Huiyi, and the last to come in was Qi Wu.
A few people were not as excited as those in the room, and they were strolling leisurely in the garden.
Qi Youyi looked at Cui with hatred, and cried in his heart: This woman, what on earth is she going to do! Qi Hou saw that this Ju was pulled back again, and he had a headache! He whispered to Mr. Cui: "Pinrong, it's too messy... Let's go to the hut and talk alone..." His face was full of begging.
Mr. Cui was also frightened: These women! He didn't want to listen to what they were going to say, so he got up and ran away with Qi Hou.
Madam Cui first looked at Qi Youyi. His face was very sad and his clothes were torn.
Look at Tan again. Just now, Tan was splashed with ink and she wiped it with a handkerchief. Now there is a little leakage on the left side of her nose, like a matchmaker's mole, which is very funny.
Mrs. Cui smiled and sat down.
Wen Yu helped Madam Qi sit down and stood behind her.
Normally, Tan's face and clothes were dirty, so she should go wash and tidy herself up, but she was worried about leaving it here.
The Cui family's commotion and the promise the Marquis wanted to make disrupted her plans.
To be honest, she had no idea how much the Qi family had. Qi Hua was in charge of a lot of the family business, but the Marquis still had some!
Moreover, what the Marquis has in his hands should be closely related to the Qi Family Army. Without money, how can we support the army? How can the money paid by the court be enough to support tens of thousands of people? ! We have to pay for it ourselves.
If the old man gets excited and wants to move this piece, then even if he gives the title to Youduan, what will he use to support himself? Isn't he being controlled by others? This old man is really confused! At this point, why should he still be careful?
Cui family, he can do whatever he wants! So what if they become enemies? Are you afraid?
Since the relationship has been torn apart... She was too lazy to pretend anymore. She looked at Cui Fengying and said coldly: "It was you who said you were leaving the Qi family, and now it's you who are saying you won't leave. You are also known as the daughter of a general, but you go back on your words and actions! How dare you!"
Madam Cui laughed secretly. She had known the wife of the Marquis of Renshan in the capital for more than 20 years. She had never seen such a face before.
Madam Qi was irritated by Tan's tone and became angry. Wen Yu hurriedly whispered beside her: "Mother, don't worry!"
Madam Qi glanced at Qi Youyi, who was staring blankly at the divorce agreement with only three words written on it...
"Which mother doesn't think about her son? Madam has been planning for her own son for decades, so I can't fall behind, right?! I can leave the Qi family anytime I want, and my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew can support me for the rest of my life. But what will Xiao Ge'er and Xiao Wu do without their mother? In this world, who else is worthy of them calling their mother except me?"
Qi Youyi listened and looked at Madam Qi angrily. At this moment, he was the most disappointed. He was beaten for nothing and did not achieve any purpose.
Tan said coldly: "Some things can't be done just because you want to. Although you never take me seriously, but! To the outside world, I am the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. At home, I am the mother of Qi Youyi. As long as I want to do it, there is nothing I can't do. Writing a divorce letter is just to give respect to both families. If I want to divorce you, the Marquis has to listen!"
When Qi Youyi heard this, his eyes lit up again. "Yes! Mother is right!"
Cui Si snorted and clenched his fists. This time, Qi Youyi also became fierce: If Cui Si dares to attack me again, I will fight back!
Madam Qi rolled up her sleeves and said, "Divorce me? Madam, you are really not qualified. I married here by the imperial decree of Empress Cihuiren! If you want to punish me, you have to ask the emperor for permission! Besides, since I entered the Qi family, I have been a good wife and gave birth to a son. I also repaired my mother-in-law's tomb and recited scriptures, strictly observing filial piety. Every action I take is impeccable..."
When Tan heard her mention her mother-in-law directly and didn't take her seriously at all, she would be lying if she said she wasn't angry!
Qi Youyi jumped out and shouted, "You are jealous and unvirtuous! This is also one of the seven reasons for divorce. As a husband, I have to say this, and the emperor will have to agree!"
Madam Qi said, "I am advising you with the intention of helping you to make progress! If you had listened to me earlier, how could you not even be a crown prince at the age of nearly half a century?"
"I don't want it! You want to be a marquis' wife? I'm not as good as you want." Qi Youyi shouted proudly.
This bastard...
Madam Cui was so angry that she laughed, "General Qi, you are really extraordinary, why don't you become a monk?"
Qi Youyi disdained to talk to the woman, stiffened his neck, and refused to accept the defeat.
Wen Yu said, "Father, you were raised by the Marquis's wife herself. People say that the Marquis's wife is like your own mother, and she taught you to be a person of noble character and outstanding ability. But if people hear what you said...will anyone suspect that she deliberately taught you to be so foolish in order to give the title to her own son?"
Qi Youyi yelled, "How dare you! You are talking nonsense. You are so unfilial, I should divorce you!"
Wen Yuxiao said, "Isn't what my daughter-in-law said wrong? People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Who in the world doesn't like fame, wealth and honor?! Even the Marquis's wife couldn't hide her pride when she mentioned her status just now. You were raised by her, so why are you different?"
Tan looked at Wen Yu and said slowly, "Wen Yu, you caused such a big incident, but you didn't hide behind Cui Fengying, and you dared to jump out and speak? Your account has not even started to be settled yet!"
There was a hint of sarcasm on her face again: "Haha... after marrying into the Qi family, opening a shop, having some staff, some money, and currying favor with some powerful people, you can do whatever you want?"
Her eyes were cold, staring at Wen Yu like a venomous snake, "On weekdays, you are so aggressive, so competitive, so cunning, and so argumentative. Do you think I don't know? This lady doesn't even care about a small dish!!"
Madam Cui laughed, "Madam Hou, you are so majestic! I have known you for more than 20 years, but I never knew you had such a face!"
Tan looked at her dimly: "Even a clay Buddha can have a temper. It's not too late to know it now!"
She turned her head and looked at Wen Yu with contempt: "Cui Fengying has a good father..." She glanced into the small house again, "Can the Wen family support you?"
Wen Yu was under tremendous pressure, but she still smiled: "Madam, Wen Yu is just like you. She relies on herself, not her family!"
The previous contest flashed through Tan's mind. This bitch is too much of a nuisance! Unknowingly, she had mastered so much, and she almost turned Li Qun out.
However, you didn't catch me then, but now I won't admit it. You want to control me? You are too young!
"Same as me?! You are far from it!" There was viciousness in Tan's eyes. Even if I can't drive Cui away today, I have to divorce you. Otherwise, I have lived in vain!
"Although I may not be able to reach it yet, I still have to set a goal. You come from a humble background, and you don't have a family to support you! But you have experienced prosperity all the way by yourself, and finally you have been granted an imperial title, have children, and can arrange a good life for your descendants. Wen Yu has long been envious, and has learned a thing or two. If it doesn't work, I still have my mother to support me!"
Tan looked at Wen Yu carefully, trying to figure out what she meant by that.
Wen Yu's eyes were clear, neither advancing nor retreating...
Huiyi County Lady said calmly: "Silly girl, you should know that everything should be done in moderation. If you always dream of things that you cannot get, you will lose your original intention. Maybe you will even learn some despicable methods. In the end, it will be all in vain!"
Wen Yu looked at Tan and smiled, "The county lady is far-sighted, Wen Yu is obsessed!"
Tan smiled calmly, and looked at the few people with his dark eyes...
…
In the small house, Marquis Qi was having a heart-to-heart talk with General Cui.
"When the Queen Mother granted the marriage, I was really happy. Fengying's character and her way of dealing with things are impeccable. But I never expected that Youyi and her would live like this.
I have never told you about my own affairs in detail. I will say a few words now. Tan saved my life. Without her, I would have died long ago. A girl disregarded her reputation and washed and bandaged my wounds. I will never forget this kindness. Moreover, although she has no family background and no ability, she has a heart and friendship. She helps me with housework and takes care of the children without any mistakes. I have seen all these things. It is right to give her some respect.
Besides, Youduan has been living in the northwest, and has become one with the Qi family army. And what about Youyi? You have also seen that he is indecisive... If I choose a successor, who should I choose?"
Old Man Cui said: "No one is born wanting to go to the northwest to suffer, and no one is hesitant from the beginning. It is you and your step-wife who have trained them!"
"You are really wronging us." Qi Hou denied.
"Facts speak louder than words, old man! No matter what, according to the rules, the title should be given to the eldest son, but you gave it to your current wife's son. No matter how you explain it, or how the Tan family performs, who will believe it? You think you can't hear the jokes about the Qi family in the capital, right?"
Marquis Qi was speechless.
"You mentioned the past, so I'll also tell you something: my late wife and I had a deep relationship, and we only had one daughter. If Qi Youyi hadn't had a title, would she have married me?! I dare not disobey the Queen's order!"
"Brother Pinrong! It's useless to say that now! You come from a military background, you know how to lead soldiers. You haven't shared the joys and sorrows with them, but you think you can control them just by relying on a title? You have already taken over most of the affairs, how can you change them now?"
When Marquis Qi said this, Mr. Cui was speechless. At the beginning, he had seen it, but first, he couldn't interfere in other people's military affairs, and second, Qi Youyi, this idiot, didn't care about it himself, so what could others do?
"This is all my fault, but I've been wrong for so many years... Old brother, besides this, if you have any other conditions, I will accept... Okay?"
Just one chapter today.
