At the Qi Mansion, Tan seemed speechless after being asked by the Marquis.

She looked at Qi Youyi, pressed Qi Youduan on the chair, and then said, "My Lord, your question makes me wonder where to start. I don't know how I could have lived well in the Qi family for decades and become like this now."

Then, she threw Xu to the ground, and told how Aunt Liu was accused of witchcraft, and she checked and found evidence. When Xu had a difficult delivery, she invited the best doctors and midwives, as well as Xu's family members, and then tied up Aunt Liu and interrogated her.

"My Lord, we have all the evidence. Do you think I am wrong to have kidnapped Aunt Liu and interrogated her? She herself has admitted the crime!"

Qi Youyi listened nearby and nodded in agreement.

"As a result, Cui and Wen Yu directly kidnapped Xiuyun and Xiaomao! Cui... even beat Xiuyun in front of me without any reason!"

Qi Youyi was so angry that his face turned blue.

Tan's tears were hanging on her face, "My Lord! You know that I was born in poverty and have no relatives! I will treat Xiuyun like my own daughter!"

…

On the other side, Mrs. Qi felt that this process was both incredible and reasonable.

Wen Yu said: "She must have told the Marquis that there were criminals looking for them. She and Guard Zhang fought desperately. Guard Zhang died and she was injured. The criminals escaped, and no one knew about it anyway!"

Qi Wu nodded: "Maybe, he will say that he was alone and broke the barrier between men and women when he saved the Marquis! Or that Guard Zhang made some promises, etc."

But Madam Qi said: "These are not difficult to understand. It is not difficult for the Marquis's Mansion to place a lifesaver, but why did it come to the point of marrying her? Moreover, my mother-in-law really gave up her position..."

Wen Yu pondered: "The cause of grandma's death is in doubt. Is there anyone around grandma in the mansion?"

Madam Qi shook her head: "It was 20 years before I entered the mansion. How could there be anyone here?"

Wen Yu said, "Mother has seen her abilities. How could the Marquis have experienced this when he practiced martial arts and fought in battles?"

Master Qing also shook his head and sighed: "Although this woman is as ruthless as a wolf and a snake, I can't help but admit it. She's really good!"

Madam Qi smiled bitterly: "If she is not capable, how could she have caused my husband and eldest son to be alienated from me? As the only daughter of the Cui family and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion, she can't even get the power of housekeeper! She is really good at that..."

…

Tan continued to sob: "Youyi has been with Xiuyun these past few days, fearing that she would get angry and commit suicide."

Qi Youyi testified: "Father, this is basically what happened."

Tan looked at Qi Youyi gratefully: "And Xiaomao... Is there any girl in the world who is more obedient than her? She has always treated Cui as her legal mother and respected her meticulously. She was frightened this time and had a high fever when she returned... Marquis!"

Suddenly, Tan started to cry out: "Youduan doesn't want that title anymore! I don't want him to have it! Give it to Youyi, no! Just give it to Qi Yang! Anything is fine... I have no other intentions, I just want the relatives around me to live well!" She sobbed.

"Oh, my poor Minghui!"

"…That's the wife I personally married for Xiao'er!"

"…How am I going to explain to Xiao Ge'er when he comes back? I treated him well before he left!

"...I have failed the trust they placed in me!"

The Marquis was so stunned by the singing, reciting, and acting that he even forgot to be angry! Qi Youyi had never seen Tan like this before, and he was a little dumbfounded.

As for Qi Youduan...although he usually appears calm and composed, he is actually very sensitive. When he was a child, his mother's family background was the lowest among his social circle. Not just low, but very poor.

This includes secretly following King Xiang and doing those shameful things for him...

At this moment, seeing his mother crying and making a scene with ordinary village women, the bad feelings from his childhood came back to him. He had lived in the northwest for so many years, and finally he could stand on his own feet. He was also going to fulfill his wish, but his mother was...

His face was grim. He took two steps forward and patted Tan, then turned to Qi Hou and said, "Father, our man has not been home for several years. How could it be like this? Mother, is there a misunderstanding here?"

"If mother is making up stories, God will strike you with lightning!" Tan was still excited.

"Mother!" Qi Youduan and Qi Youyi both called out.

"Yan Ling!" The Marquis was angry and annoyed.

"My Lord, Xu died of two deaths! She was a poor child. Her family had a hard life, and her brother and sister-in-law were not very good. She finally married a good husband and had just lived a comfortable life for a few years. She saw that she had a son and her life was stable. But, she passed away like this!"

Qi Youduan pressed her hard again. He knew his mother's purpose, but he didn't want to go this way! Tan stopped. She actually wanted to anger the Marquis...

"My Lord, I have told you many times, but you never care and even get angry with me! But look at this family, ever since Wen came into the family..."

"It's her! She was the one who ordered people to drag Xiuyun away. There was so much pushing and shoving along the way that even Xiuyun's shoes fell off!" When she said this, Tan's face, which was covered with a handkerchief, became a little distorted.

Wen Yu, if I don't kill you, my life will never be better!

Qi Youyi foolishly followed suit: "That's right! Father, that woman is a lunatic. She also told her son, said..." He was so angry that day that he forgot about it! "She said that sooner or later his son would regret it! What do you think his son could regret?"

Tan added, "Before, Cui was just quick-tempered. Although she and Youyi had different personalities, they could get along like an ordinary couple. But look at her now! Xiaowu dared to fight with his father! He dared to use a knife to kill the guards you gave me. My Lord, maybe one day when you come back, I will be killed by them..."

"Mother! Unless they are possessed by evil spirits, no one in the world would dare to do this!" Qi Youduan first defined the personality. "Possessed by evil spirits...Yes! They are possessed by evil spirits!"

Tan looked at Qi Youduan, and her son understood her after all: "My Lord, no matter what the cause is, and no matter who is at fault, there will be no reconciliation between me and Cui and Wen Yu! This is the last time I will mention them. From now on, I don't want to get involved with them in anything, and I won't have the slightest desire to protect them. I don't even want to see them again! I saved you, and you gave me the dignity that I never expected. We are even on this matter. Now, please don't embarrass me anymore, considering that I have been working hard in the Qi family for decades!"

At this point, Qi Hou had no choice but to sigh: "I'll think about it again."

"Okay! Lord, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We have some personal matters to discuss. I will take Qi in first. Youyi, you two brothers can have a drink and chat later!"

…

Over there, things have been almost settled.

Madam Qi said, "Let's go back now and tell your grandfather everything. This old witch will be finished!"

Wen Yu and Qi Wu looked at each other, but felt that it was not that easy.

Qi Wuxian said, "My grandfather's identity is there, and he's old. He can't admit to these ugly things, right?"

"Don't you dare admit it? How can he be willing to be played around by such a cruel, vicious and mean woman?" Mrs. Qi disagreed.

Wen Yu agreed with Qi Wu: "It's a done deal, their son will inherit the mansion. The Marquis must have been planning this for a long time. He can't afford the loss. And the death of his first wife... people might talk about whether he had an affair with Tan and then killed his first wife. I'm afraid he might kill Tan secretly, but Qi Youduan will still be the one to inherit the title."

Qi Wu nodded: "It's okay, he's still his son. Besides, he will probably restrict us strictly!"

This article is coming to an end. The pace cannot be too fast, but it cannot be too slow either.

Don’t worry, this series of stories about the old witch will definitely be over.
