But she kept on persuading him, speaking gently and kindly, and her tone remained unchanged.

So she was very disappointed.

At this time, Laba came back, unable to conceal the excitement in his eyes. If she wasn't in front of Xu's eldest sister-in-law, she would have been beaming with joy.

Wen Yu saw that something must be wrong, so she said to Mrs. Xu, "Don't worry, we have to wait until the Marquis comes back. Besides, there is still my brother! My husband has already sent a pigeon, so I believe he will be home soon."

Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up again. Yes, there is also Qi Xiao! It seems that Madam Qi still loves him very much. If he is on the side of the Xu family, there is still hope! There is a good-looking cousin in my family's family... I will go back and tell them after I am busy these few days. But we have to negotiate the conditions in advance. If they agree, I will come to calculate it.

How could Wen Yu not see her look? Sneer, everything else is up to you. But if you treat Qi Xiao like a fool, don't blame us for being rude.

After Mrs. Xu left, Laba told the whole story from beginning to end.

Wen Yu was puzzled: "The letter begins with Li Qun? Who is Li Qun?"

"I don't know! It had this name at the beginning, and the content was not long. It just told him that I wanted the same medicine as before, but it didn't say what kind of medicine it was. There was no signature either."

"That kind of medicine..." Although Wen Yu didn't know who Li Qun was, she could guess what "that kind of medicine" was.

Is she completely anxious and ready to take action?

Thinking about it more carefully, it may not be the case. This person is used to planning ahead, and as long as there is an opportunity, he will use it immediately.

Poisoning? Poisoning whom?

You can't poison us all at once, right?

This letter made things clear: Tan and Mr. Zhou were old acquaintances, but the relationship was unclear. My grandmother was killed by them. Mr. Zhou was very powerful and would do things for Tan. I'm afraid the two of them had something on each other.

Who is Li Qun? Suddenly I remembered what Mrs. Li told her, that Mr. Zhou never met his fellow villagers...

Could it be that Lord Zhou was impersonated by Li Qun and was afraid of being discovered by his clansmen?

But who is Li Qun, and why did he pretend to be surnamed Zhou? It would be better if my cousin came today and asked him to send someone to check on Mr. Zhou. Why didn’t I think of it before? Stupid! She slapped her head, but then she thought again, this story was too bizarre, no one could have thought of it! "Laba, keep an eye on Mrs. Zhou and see if there is any way to get some medicine from her. Ask someone what it is. If there is no chance, forget it. Don't disturb them first... From today on, everyone should be careful. Xiaoji, quietly find out about this Mrs. Zhou and her background."

Tan was walking around in the room, daring to kill someone right in front of me... Humph, I'll get the poison first.

Thinking about the several losses he had suffered at the hands of the Cui family, he felt that he was no longer able to cope with the situation now and had to start counting on his son!

There is a reason... She couldn't help but smile. Even though he has been in the northwest for many years, the mother and son have been in contact. Therefore, she knows his methods. Next, the Qi family may have to change their style in the capital!

Li Qun was right. As long as the title was in hand, the old man's mission would be accomplished. As for him... thinking of his angry look at him, I'll talk about it later!

Qi Hua was arguing with Wang because he did not allow Wang and Xiao Mao to go to the front for socializing.

Wang said, "My husband, etiquette cannot be abolished. Even if you don't like it, you should be decent when doing things."

"Are you saying that I am not a decent person?" Qi Hua's face flushed red.

"That's not what I meant." Wang was helpless. "What I meant was, what good would it do for us if others laughed at our mansion?"

Qi Hua glared at him, "Don't give me that! Doesn't my grandmother know etiquette? She has already said that I won't go. Who do you two think you are? You are not allowed to go!"

Among the brothers of the Qi family, Qi Hua is not outstanding in appearance, nor in talent. He manages part of the Qi family's assets, and at best he has not made any major mistakes. However, he is the most arrogant and looks down on everyone.

Maybe he inherited some pretentiousness from Tan. He is usually gentle and polite, and people can feel his arrogance, but it is not excessive.

Behind people's backs, he loved to gossip about others, for example: Qi Xiao had no ability but was the eldest son of the legitimate wife. Qi Yue looked like a bad guy. Qi Yu was mean and only knew how to curry favor with his stepmother. Qi Yang was just a piece of wood with good looks.

He had imagined countless times that his wife had died or been divorced, his concubine had been promoted to the position of the legitimate son, and he had the status of a legitimate son. But to his surprise, his dream did not come true, and his concubine was actually beaten!

He really treats her as a concubine!

Because Qi Youyi doted on him, he didn't care and quarreled with his father for a long time. Qi Youyi was already angry, and after being quarreled with by him, he ran directly to Aunt Liu's yard and shouted for killing. In the end, he didn't find Aunt Liu, so he beat Qi Yu.

After returning, Qi Hua was still not satisfied and insisted that Qi Youyi drive Qi Yu and Aunt Liu out of the house. Qi Youyi agreed...

At this moment, Xiaomao dressed up and came to see Wang, and the two agreed to go to the front together. If there were any female guests who came to pay their respects, they had to greet them and return the courtesy.

Wang was brought up by the Wang family as a lady from a noble family, and she was very sensible in her actions. After giving birth to a daughter, Xiaomao often came to see her niece, and gradually, the two of them got along very well. After chatting more, Xiaomao began to understand things.

Before, she was dissatisfied with her status as a concubine's daughter. She also felt sorry for her aunt, thinking that if she wasn't her stepmother, she should be the legal wife. She also resented her stepmother for not agreeing to register her under her name, which directly affected her marriage.

But after listening to Wang's words more, I realized that although there may be many injustices, they all have causes and consequences. The rules are set in this way, and people living in the world must abide by the rules.

Yesterday, she was dragged into her stepmother's room, and she finally understood that her stepmother dared to confront her grandmother because she had the Cui family behind her.

The reason why my aunt and I live a leisurely and wealthy life on a daily basis is because my stepmother does not care about them.

Otherwise, yesterday's scene is just everyday life.

Even a virtuous sister-in-law would be sad if her brother had a concubine. What if there was another concubine like my aunt? How would my sister-in-law live? If I get married in the future, there will be someone like this in my family...

She listened to her stepmother's reminders and warnings, so she didn't follow her brother. At this moment, she even helped her sister-in-law: "Second brother, sister-in-law is right. Those ladies came to pay their respects, and there was no one to entertain them at home? Wouldn't it make people suspicious and laugh at them? Rules are rules! You can only suppress your dissatisfaction. It makes sense. Wait until grandfather comes back to complain!"

"You! You are going to piss me off to death!" Qi Hua shouted.

Zhang Moqing returned to the mansion, changed her clothes and stood in front. Wen Yu saw her coming and asked Aunt Liu, who looked serious: "Not very good. The injury is very serious, at least she will be sick. The key is that the Fourth Master may not be finished after being beaten, and she is afraid. Moreover, she thinks that if she leaves the Qi Mansion, she may also implicate her family, and there is no hope."

Wen Yu hinted: Didn't you think about it before you did it? "What about the fourth brother?"

"She is his aunt after all, so she must be sad. It's awkward to show up here, so you should take care of your aunt over there."

The Cui family came very quickly. After listening to Wen Yu's brief account, they couldn't help but sigh: "This old witch really makes people look at her in new eyes time and time again!"

Madam Qi personally pulled Baoer out. Baoer was dressed in mourning and followed Madam Qi's instructions, kneeling in front of Xu's coffin.

She didn't understand what life and death were, and she didn't know that her mother was lying in a dark coffin.

The atmosphere at the scene made her nervous and scared. She didn't cry, but looked around in confusion.

Madam Qi's eyes were red with distress...
