Wen Yu was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. Qi Wu looked at her, and she looked like a duckling that just came into the water in spring, lively and cheerful. So he hugged her and clung to her for two rounds.

The next day, Wen Yu asked Madam Qi to go with her. Madam Qi brought Bao'er with her. When they were about to get in the car, they received news: Marquis Qi and Qi Youduan arrived home at noon.

Mrs. Qi listened expressionlessly and led Baoer to the car. She found that she was full of hope for the news she wanted to know. Even if it brought disgrace to the Qi family, she would laugh at the joke with others.

She also told this to Wen Yu, who grinned bitterly.

When Tan heard that her son was going to marry, she was very happy. When she heard that Madam Qi and the others had left early in the morning, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Let's see where they went!!" It would be best if they went to the East Palace again!

As a result, after a long while, someone came back carrying a guard with a broken leg. It turned out that his leg was broken by Wu Ye's men.

Tan was so angry that she was fuming. Then she thought: Don't be angry, Youduan is coming back! Just wait and see how my son will deal with you!

Qi Wu, who had just beaten someone, stayed calm and accompanied his mother and wife. After last night and just now, he felt a little better after being depressed for several days.

Arriving at the East Palace, Wen Yu could not recognize Mu Bo and Zhang Yuan. They looked exactly the same! They were both dark and thin, and only their teeth were white when they smiled. They were also wearing the same clothes. "How did you become like this?"

Mu Bo is not good at speaking, "Tired!"

Zhang Yuan said: "We two brothers are really exhausted this time. We have been on the road the whole time! Let me tell you first, it's all good news!"

For Zhang Yuan, this was really good news. He had been flattering Mu Bo all the way. On the way back, he said that he wanted to marry Mu Ling after the Qi family's affairs came to an end. He also made a lot of vows.

Mu Bo kicked him twice, but said, "I can consider it!"

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and tell me!" Wen Yu had no idea what Zhang Yuan was thinking, so she reminded him when she saw him in a daze.

So Zhang Yuan started talking: After the two of them left the capital, they went straight to Niuyou Village.

Niujia Village is actually a very small village located at the foot of the mountain with only a dozen households.

The mountains behind are numerous and steep, with wild animals roaming around and producing precious medicinal materials, so the people in this village basically make a living by hunting, collecting and growing herbs.

The road was not easy to walk on, so not many outsiders went in. When the two of them went there, the villagers saw it as interesting, took out fruit wine, and entertained them warmly. But when they started chatting, their hearts turned cold.

It turned out that Niujia Village had been hit by a wildfire many years ago, and almost all the villagers were burned to death. The whole village was deserted. Outsiders were afraid to come, but two years later, the medicinal herbs here were so attractive that some people invited monks and Taoists to perform rituals, cleared the original traces, rebuilt houses, and reproduced here.

Therefore, almost no one knew what Mu Bo and the other wanted to find out.

At this point, Zhang Yuan's eyes turned red: "I saw my grandfather's grave. The marquis left money in the county, and my father also sent some money later. The county allocated the money to the village, and the villagers helped maintain it. Therefore, the grave looks very neat, but no one in the local area knows the reason for this."

They didn't get any news here, so they didn't dare to delay and went to Xijing again.

"When we arrived in Xijing, we went to the villa. Master Qing, guess what? Your third sister Bai Yaocai lives there."

"What? Third sister?" Master Qing was stunned.

"Yes. Your third sister lives there with your eldest sister's son. When your eldest sister learned that something happened to the Bai family, she rushed to find someone to help. On the way, her car overturned and she died. Your second sister was about to give birth to a child after getting married. When she heard the sad news, she was heartbroken and died. Your third sister's in-laws disliked her, but she was very stubborn and asked your third brother-in-law to write a divorce letter. She wants to go back to Fengxiang Villa!

But your third sister's husband is a very good person. He asked to leave the house and followed her out. After the Bai family incident, many people were grateful for the Bai family's many years of kindness to this land and helped your third sister maintain the villa.

After the warehouse was blown up, it caught fire. To this day, the warehouse is still in ruins. Some people who have received favors from the Bai family and some loyal servants live with your third sister. The money saved by everyone's hard work is used to maintain the house. After so many years, although it is dilapidated, the appearance of the entire villa can still be seen clearly. "

Master Qing and Yibai looked at each other, both of them were surprised and happy.

"Master Qing, your eldest sister's son is called Yang Xin. He is said to have the brains of a Bai family member. He has a younger sister and is married."

"Lord Yang remarried, and with a stepmother came a stepfather. When Yang Xin was only seven or eight years old, he took his loyal servant and sister and ran to Xijing. Your third sister adopted him. But the stepmother was too bad and always made trouble. He went to take the examination for the scholar secretly. Later, when he wanted to take the examination for the juren, the stepmother tried her best to stop him!

After the Bai family got into trouble, your third sister came to look for you. But she and her husband were driven out by their in-laws and had no money. After searching for four days without success, they stopped running away when Yang Xin and his sister came. When she heard the news about you and Master Yibai, she cried so hard that she almost fainted. She asked her subordinates to tell you: You are great, Master Yibai is great! She will be at home, waiting for you to return!"

Master Qing and Yibai held hands, nodded and cried. The Bai family still had descendants, and they still had a home! ...

At noon, Marquis Qi and Qi Youduan came home.

It turned out that Qi Hou left the capital in a rage and took a shortcut instead of the official road. So those who went to look for him could not catch up with him. He waited for his third son in Yanzhou.

Qi Youduan was known as the "Scholar in the Army". He really looked like a scholar.

White face, black beard, gentle expression. He wears elegant clothes and speaks slowly and softly. He is not as tall as Qi Youyi, nor does he have the military spirit. He is certainly not as good as Qi Youyi in bow, sword, and horse, but he is not weak in strategy. He has been with the Marquis for many years, and the two of them work well together.

When they met, the Marquis was in a bad mood and didn't talk about the things in the capital. They walked back together. When they reached the city gate, they met the servants who were going to report the news. When Marquis Qi heard the news, his face was as dark as water and he was furious.

The harmonious and peaceful family in his impression turned out to be worse than others! He left the house and someone died right after! Qi Youduan was also a little surprised: "Father, this may also be related to Liu's failure to manage the family well. Don't worry, let's see when we get home."

When he came back this time, he only brought twenty soldiers with him.

There were regulations on the number of people a military officer could bring back to Beijing. To avoid suspicion, he brought even fewer people with him. But because he had several important matters to attend to during his return, he secretly brought some people with him.

When they arrived at the gate of Qi Mansion, Tan was already waiting in front. When she heard the footsteps, she said, "There is something going on!" Her voice trembled.

Today, Tan dressed up specially, put on makeup, wore decent clothes, and put on jewelry, trying to give her son a good impression.

"Mother!" Qi Youduan walked in, lifted his robe and knelt down. He was also a little excited.

Tan ignored everyone else, rushed over, put her hands on his shoulders, and looked at him carefully: "Son, you are finally back!" After that, she began to cry.

Qi Youyi stood nearby, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Qi Youduan smiled: "Mother! You don't take care of your son, but cry on your own. Your eyes are blurred with tears. Can you still see clearly?"

Tan quickly wiped her tears and helped him up: "Get up quickly, get up quickly! Are you hurt?"

"Don't worry, mother. He is not injured at all. My son has his father to take care of him and soldiers to protect him. How can he get hurt?"

He turned his head and called out with a smile: "Brother!"

Qi Youyi recovered and said, "Third brother, you have worked hard along the way!"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, brother. Let's have a couple of drinks later!"

Tan said quickly: "You two have reached the age, you are not allowed to drink like before!"

The two brothers laughed, "Okay! We'll listen to mother!"

The atmosphere is peaceful and harmonious, with a truly loving mother and filial son.

Isn't this good? How could someone die? Seeing the affection between mother and son, Marquis Qi still had a gloomy look on his face: "What's going on with Xu and Aunt Liu?"
