Yes, what's the point of arguing over who is more reasonable?
In the end, whoever holds the power will have the final say! Wen Yu looked at Qi Youyi, who was obviously tall and handsome, but what else was in his mind besides Xiuyun? I'm afraid that even if her true identity was exposed one day, he would still be infatuated with her without regrets, right?
If my grandmother knew about this, she would be so sad!
After a while, Marquis Qi and Old Man Cui came out.
Qi Hou was very tired and said in a low voice, "Okay! General Cui and I have reached a preliminary agreement. We will make a final decision after you come back. Now, no one is allowed to mention this matter again!"
The two old men really discussed it this way, without any anger or competition. They each had their own standpoints, their interests were relative, and there was no point in arguing.
Originally, Marquis Qi wanted to do it behind the scenes, and then through the emperor, quietly get it done. Now that the emperor has spoken, who dares to say no?
But now that such a commotion has occurred, it will be impossible to resolve the issue if we do not give the big profit to the eldest son of the family... no, it is impossible to give the big profit to Qi Xiao and Qi Yang.
But how can I make it in my own interests and get the Cui family to agree? I have to discuss it with Qi Youduan in detail...
"Brother, I won't keep you here."
General Cui was about to leave: "Fengying, you live peacefully in the Qi family, no one dares to bully you! Qi Youduan is back, and Qi Xiao is almost back. It's better for us to talk together. Let's all go now! Come with me to have a delicious meal!"
After saying that, he left with his son and daughter-in-law in a grand manner.
Qi Hou had a splitting headache, "Alright! Go do what you need to do!"
Tan looked at it coldly for a long time, and she knew that the Cui family was wasting their time on the title! What she had been eyeing for decades, how could she let it go? Now, she also figured it out. Even if the marquis decided to spend a lot of money on the property, the title was in his hands... couldn't he take it back? Could the old man live a hundred years? Did Youduan no longer have this ability?
She felt relieved for a while, and after watching Cui, Wen Yu, and Qi Yang send off the Cui family, she said to the Marquis, "My Lord, since you have spoken, I will tolerate Cui's matter. But I cannot keep Wen Yu: she is disrespectful to the elders, stirring up trouble, and making you so embarrassed! Moreover, she runs around outside all day, associates with other men, and behaves improperly. I want to divorce her!"
She spoke with confidence that this disaster was caused by Wen Yu. The Marquis was being bullied by the Cui family and it was just right for him to take out his anger on Wen Yu.
Unexpectedly, the Marquis was furious: "Tan! If you want your family to be safe, don't cause any more trouble and wait for Qi Youduan to come back!"
Tan was startled and stared at the Marquis with her beautiful eyes. She was not convinced: "Marquis! How could this happen to me?! Was all this today caused by Wen Yu!?"
"Okay! Don't treat everyone else as a fool." Qi Hou's anger was directed at her.
Tan's tears started to flow. Qi Youyi was eager to protect his mother: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with mother! It's all Cui and Wen Yu..."
"Shut up!" The Marquis pointed at him with a red face, "You are the eldest son of the family... You can't bring honor to the Qi family, you can't share your father's worries, but you praise your concubine as a fairy, and want to divorce her and make her your wife? Dream on!"
Tan was even more confused: "My Lord, are you blaming Xiuyun?"
"Father, how can you say that?" Qi Youyi was still chattering.
"What Xiuyun? That's concubine Fang!" Marquis Qi was almost spitting out saliva.
"My Lord..." Tan was a little sad: "How could you bear it? Xiuyun is already very pitiful!"
"Okay! If you still want to..." In front of Qi Youyi, Marquis Qi didn't want to say anything final: "Just shut up! This house is simply unbearable! Come! Prepare something for me, I'm going to Yanzhou to wait for Qi Youduan and come back with him!"
"My Lord?!" Tan shouted.
Marquis Qi angrily waved his hand and left.
This was the first time in all these years that Marquis Qi really lost his temper with Tan.
Tan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She ignored Qi Youyi and went back to her room. She ran all the way, cursing in her heart: You bastard! You coward! You took out your anger on me because of the Cui family?!
…
When Mrs. Qi came back from seeing her father off, there was no one in the front hall.
The fight ended in failure, but the noise was so loud that it could not be suppressed.
The news continued to spread, and basically everyone in the house knew about it.
Mrs. Xu is about to give birth. Her belly is round and she is drinking bird's nest. She wants to give birth to a beautiful son...
I just heard that my parents-in-law were getting divorced, but I was still happy. It was supposed to be this way! Once she left, Wen Yu couldn't stay either. I gave birth to a son and took back the housekeeping power. From then on, my life was on a smooth road.
Later, she heard... What? She wanted to bring Qi Xiao and Qi Yang back to the Cui family?! Dream on! Who would go with you? After listening to it... She was a little confused...
Shouldn't it be passed on to my father-in-law? My father-in-law will pass it on to my husband in the future, and I will be the future marquis' wife. What is there to doubt?
Whose family business is not passed down to the eldest son?
Over the years, she has been in charge of the household and has only been competing with her mother-in-law. She never expected that the title would be lost.
"Damn Qi Xiao, he wasn't home at the critical moment!" She stood up suddenly. No, I have to ask... Before she knew who to ask, she ran out in a panic, tripped on the door sill, and fell out...
…
Wen Yu accompanied Madam Qi, "Mother, Tan's plan has been made long ago, and the Marquis is partial, so this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. There is still news to wait for, so don't be angry, and don't be anxious."
"Okay." Mrs. Qi enjoyed the comfort of her daughter-in-law.
Then, Wen Yu told Madam Qi the news about Master Qing, and Madam Qi was also happy: "Okay, go and do what you have to do."
The store will open tomorrow, so Wen Yu asked Qi Wu to accompany her to take a look. Unexpectedly, she saw Zhang Jiangqing there, "Brother Jiangqing? Why are you here?"
Zhang Jiangqing smiled warmly: "I wonder if you are here. There is something I want to talk to you about!"
Wen Yu quickly prepared tea and snacks. "What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, a minor official from the Ministry of Personnel died. He was the one who had looked for Song Tao."
"Dead?"
"Yes. Died of heart disease." Zhang Jiangqing's eyes were clear and far-reaching. "It reminds me that many people died of heart disease during the series of events we went through."
As soon as he said that, Wen Yu's eyes widened and she glanced at Qi Wu.
Qi Wu's eyes also became round...his grandmother was her!!
"So, I asked the best coroner in the Dali Temple to perform an autopsy, and the results showed that the patient had indeed died of heart disease. The coroner was very angry when he saw that I suspected him, so he invited his master, an old man in his eighties. The old man's eyesight was not clear, but his brain was very useful. The coroner reported everything to him, and after listening to it, he concluded that the patient had died of poison.
He said that he had experienced this in his early years. A woman wanted revenge and used this method. After too many people died, she discovered something unusual and found out the reason. But the man who sold the poison had already run away and was not caught.
Seeing Wen Yu and Qi Wu staring blankly, "Look, the former marquis's wife, Tan's mother, and the landlord... this time again..."
Wen Yu was a little nervous, and pulled Qi Wu and said, "Although I know that she is a vicious person and dares to kill people. But I didn't expect that it started decades ago... Guarding this poisonous snake every day, we..."
Qi Wu patted her on the shoulder, "Mother's courtyard is very closely guarded, and all of them are her own people. In our courtyard, the people who serve you closely are also your people... So, back then, my grandmother was killed by that old witch!"
Wen Yu was anxious: "Did you say that it was grandfather who approved it?"
Qi Wu couldn't believe it: "He can't be... so inhuman, right?"
Wen Yu closed her eyes and tears flowed out: "There really are people who are so inhuman!"
How similar are my experiences to Qi Wu’s?
Zhang Jiangqing watched calmly, but his heart was in turmoil. If there was anyone who could understand, he was the only one.
I can tell something is wrong from her emotions! Most likely, the cause of death of Ayu's mother is in doubt. No wonder she is so cold and distant to her father and Yuan.
"Ayu, I will check the matter of the medicine again. And the owner of the meditation room in Fanghua Temple, he has been there for so many years, I don't believe that no one familiar with him saw it! There must be some monks who are kind-hearted..."
"Brother Jiang Qing, I'll lend you a hand from my cousin. It's dangerous to investigate these things."
Zhang Jiangqing smiled and said, "I don't refuse manpower, but you don't have to worry too much. I'm going to investigate the case, and those people have to think carefully before they take action."
"But each of us is precious. We can't afford any mistakes."
A few people were talking about something, when suddenly, Xiaoji from the family came running over, sweating all over his forehead: "Uncle Wu, Grandma, something big happened at home!"
I listened and updated it again.
But, it ends here.
Please call me executioner fish...
