A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 188 What is the truth? (two more)
Qi Huan has never met his great-aunt, so naturally there is no family relationship.

But living in the shadow of a person like Qi Zhengyu also made her feel a kind of sad, as if she could feel the kind of anger and sadness that hurt her skin.

A girl who was only fourteen years old was like a flower that was in bud but not ready to bloom, but when it was supposed to usher in its best years, its branches were broken like this.

Such things happened endlessly in the story where Ye Xunyi was the protagonist.

Those so-called protagonists and supporting roles are all for their own benefit or grievances, trampling on other people's lives at will.

It doesn't matter when you read it in a storybook, but once you're there...

Anyway, it is very difficult for people who grew up in a peaceful age like Qi Huan and a harmonious society to accept and adapt from the bottom of their hearts.

What is human life in the eyes of those fighting for power and profit?
"Don't ask again, and don't speculate casually." This topic obviously made Qi Wenjing quite uncomfortable.

It was rare for him to get angry, and he reprimanded him severely: "Since you also know that it is an old story of the elders, what's the point of bringing it up now? Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, don't listen to wind and rain. This matter It's fine if you say it in front of me, but when you leave this house today... including your mother, you are not allowed to mention it again, you know?"

Qi Huan knew that he was afraid.

In case Qi Huan was impulsive and ran to Qi Zhengyu to question, or someone passed on the private chat to Qi Zhengyu's ears——

The consequences were unimaginable.

"Father, don't worry, my daughter knows the seriousness. Since this is a taboo of my grandfather, I will deal with it carefully and will not bring it up casually." Qi Huan also cherishes his life, and will not seek death impulsively because of a momentary indignation.

Although this past incident has nothing to do with her.

But she still wants a clear right and wrong and the truth.

So, before Qi Wenjing calmed down, she changed the topic again: "But father, I still want to confirm with you one last time..."

Qi Wenjing especially didn't want to mention that matter again, even in private.

Facing the aggressive daughter in front of him, he frowned tightly, with an irritable and anxious expression.

Qi Huan didn't care whether he was happy or not, and asked directly: "I'll ask you, at that time, it was widely rumored that the king believed in his aunt. Is this his wishful thinking? Or is the aunt and him two lovers?" Xiangyue? Never again..."

What she doubts the most is the third one: "Or is it something that grandfather and the trusting king privately gave and received, and were tacitly made out of each other?"

If it was her aunt who had just begun to fall in love, she insisted on falling in love, and fell in love with Wang Xin who already had a wife, concubine and children. The family persuaded her not to listen, and they were afraid of being hurt by her, so they dealt with her privately to protect her life...

Even if Qi Huan is not used to it, he will try to understand their last resort.

After all, you can't ruin the lives of a whole family for the sake of one person's private relationship!

But what Qi Huan couldn't bear the most, and what he was most afraid of——

It is the third type!

Qi Wenjing remained silent, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

He actually knew what Qi Huan meant by asking the bottom line, but——

This question is also very worrying for him.

He can't answer!

especially--

He really felt scared from the bottom of his heart, and didn't want to ask his daughter to dig that old thing.

Therefore, Qi Wenjing gritted his teeth, and finally said: "How old was I at that time, how could I know everything? As long as you know this, it is the biggest taboo in our family, so don't bring it up again in the future. What happened in the past? So what is right and wrong? It’s all useless to pursue!”

But his attitude is enough to explain everything.

"Okay, I understand. I listened to my father's advice and left this door today. I will never mention this matter to anyone in my family." Qi Huan took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and then switched back to the original On the topic, "The matter of the second sister cannot be delayed. Father, please calm down and deal with this matter first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door, and walked out immediately.

There was still a bit of a cool breeze at night, and the cool breeze was blowing on her face, which made her feel better about the suppressed and suffocated emotions in the room just now.

"Miss, the cloak." Xing Luo was also stunned for a long time as if struck by lightning, and when she saw her rushing out the door, she was shocked, and belatedly grabbed the cloak and chased her out.

Qi Huan did not refuse.

She is still ill, no matter how unhappy she is, she can't make fun of her own body and life.

She stood in the yard, letting Xingluo wrap her cloak and tie it on.

It could be seen that Xing Luo was also frightened, very nervous, and his fingers were a little uncomfortable when wearing the belt.

Qi Huan then took her hand and smiled: "Let's go, we're going back."

In the second room courtyard at that time.

Mrs. Cen prepared meals in advance again, and waited with Qi Xin for Qi Wenang's return.

But when they heard footsteps in the courtyard, the mother and daughter stood up to meet him...

Fortunately, the movement was a little slow, otherwise he would have been hurt by the force with which he kicked the door.

With a dark face, Qi Wenang kicked open the door and came in, startling the mother and daughter.

The two looked at each other.

Qi Xin cautiously probed: "What's wrong with father? Are you so angry?"

I just thought that he encountered some difficulties in his official duties, or he was angry with the superiors in the Yamen.

In the end, Qi Wenang glanced at her, thought of Qi Huan's sarcasm, and immediately vented his anger——

That girl Qi Huan was mocking his daughter for being mediocre and not even qualified to be a pawn?
Doesn't he know that?
As long as Qi Xin gave birth to Qi Changge, even if it was Qi Huan's beauty, he must have made full use of his own advantages, and he didn't need to suffer in front of a yellow-haired girl?
"It's about adults, why are you talking so much, you have no rules!" Qi Wenang was furious, and scolded him in a cold voice.

Qi Xin never thought that he would come at her like this, so she froze on the spot for a moment.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cen quickly supported her by the shoulders and sent her out, comforting her in a low voice: "It should be about the yamen. Your father, the servant, just came down two days before his official appointment. He has a lot of things to do and is under a lot of pressure. .Don't argue with him, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare meals for you again, and you go back to the house to eat."

Qi Xin is not the kind of girl who is about to drop beans after being scolded by her parents. Although she was scolded, she felt uncomfortable, but she thought it was not aimed at her, so she comforted herself and left obediently.

Cen gave Xu's mother a wink, told her to re-arrange Qi Xin's dinner, and took the door behind her to enter the house.

Although she can't help if it's an official matter, but seeing Qi Wenang sitting sulking, she can only bite the bullet and try to comfort her: "Is there any problem with the yamen? If the master is angry again...how can I blame the child?"

Qi Wenang said angrily: "The things in the yamen are not as difficult as that girl in the big room. She is really more and more wanton and lawless now. She dares to point my nose at my face and scold me. I don't know what to do!"

Cen was also taken aback, "When did it happen? Just now? You didn't come back with father-in-law today?"

Qi Wenang opened his mouth...

He really needed to talk to relieve the anger in his chest, but when he saw Cen's face, he swallowed the words back.

Although Qi Xin couldn't help him, he was also a well-behaved and sensible child. He had hardly caused any trouble for him since he was a child. His appearance was a natural thing, so he couldn't attack his wife and daughter's appearance in person.

Besides—

Cen's mother and daughter are just not born with stunning looks, and their looks are above average, so they won't embarrass him when they go out.

Thinking about it this way, he immediately regretted his impulsive attitude towards his daughter just now.

Afterwards, he forcibly suppressed his temper and probably mentioned about Qi Changge.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cen was extremely upset: "That girl has such a good fortune... But didn't you say that neither father-in-law nor eldest brother is willing?"

The appearance of a vixen came in handy.

Knowing her selfish intentions, Qi Wenang glared at her: "What do you know? If she really went to the palace, just like the elder brother... He wouldn't be able to use him even if he was given a connection, and in the end, it wasn't for us to use the one who was close to the water? Although at present It seems that King Ning has little chance of winning against the crown prince, but that Qi Huan of the eldest room...that girl married a high family, it's fine if she doesn't use her in-law's influence to step on us, and you still expect to use her door to get in? Privately speaking In a word, I hope that King Ning will take the throne."

Speaking of Qi Huan, Cen also had severe chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Recently, Gu Zhan has been running home once a day, this kindness...

Everyone has a daughter, who can not be jealous or angry, and just take it as a nostalgia?

Cen's thoughts went astray for a moment, and he fell silent.

"Brother has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he doesn't want to wade into muddy waters, I understand." Qi Wenang thought he wasn't with her, frowned and said in confusion: "I just can't figure it out, giving the second girl to King Ning, even a dead horse is still alive Doctor Ma, leave more roads for the family, why doesn’t my father agree? When I mentioned it, it was like stepping on his tail, and scolded me!”

"What could it be?" Cen said casually.

These years, she and Qi Wenang were one body and supported each other. In fact, before Qi Yuanming's accident, they were indeed a good couple who cared for each other.

Therefore, Yang Shi may not know about some secrets of the Qi family in the old days, but Qi Wenang has talked with her to some extent.

She said: "Because of our little aunt, the father-in-law is jealous, right? Didn't you say that back then, it was because the father-in-law insisted on marrying the palace that he almost lost the whole family?"

"But it's been so long." Qi Wenang thought of this for the first time.

But according to Qi Zhengyu's courage and temper, he shouldn't have passed thirty years and still be afraid of an old incident.

"Isn't there something strange about my little aunt's death back then?" Cen has been thinking about this matter in private for ten or twenty years, and has already figured out a set of opinions.

It's just that the couple wouldn't talk about this topic just because they had nothing to do, so she never talked about it.

after all--

Her natal family also had some dirty and hidden things, which Qi Wenang didn't know about.

She glanced at Qi Wenang, "What a coincidence, just a few months after she died, something happened to King Xin. Father-in-law is sometimes cruel, but he was still young at that time, and he was not someone else. She is the only sister who is a sibling with him, if blood is really on her hands... she will never let it go, isn't it normal?"

Qi Wenang is not used to thinking about his own father in a bad way, so he never thought about it that way.

As soon as Cen mentioned it, he was like enlightened.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head: "It doesn't seem right. If it's really the little aunt that my father abandoned for the sake of the family's righteousness, with his temper, it is absolutely impossible for him to swallow his anger for so many years and not be able to hold his head up in front of grandma."

Mrs. Cen never got along with the late Mrs. Tai of the Qi family. The old lady passed away before she married. I just heard that the old lady was disheartened in the last few years. pray.

"What do you mean?" She didn't quite understand Qi Wenang's meaning for a moment.

Qi Wenang thought for a long time again, and then he slapped the desk for a while, and muttered: "Why do I think it is more likely that my little aunt died at the hands of my grandmother?"

Cen Shi was shocked by this, and stood up nervously holding the handkerchief, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Are you crazy? A tiger's poison does not eat its own child..."

But after thinking about it again, I was suddenly startled and felt a chill down my spine: "If father-in-law was obsessed with ghosts and wanted to send my little aunt to the palace to cling to the powerful, the old lady had first glimpsed the failure of Prince Xin's palace, so...so..."

The more the husband and wife pondered, the more something was wrong, and each other was terrified.

Qi Zhengyu is a self-centered paranoid, but he is only not interested in sending the beautiful granddaughters of his family to climb the dragon and become a phoenix. This in itself is unreasonable, unless he actually stumbled on this kind of thing.

If he had realized his mistake and turned back in time, with his temper, he might have been afraid for a while at first, but when he passed that hurdle, he would only be overjoyed, and instead feel that he has a lot of vision and means, so he will intensify his efforts and continue to try this way road.

But in fact, it's just the opposite.

He is only afraid of taboos on this matter!

Qi Wenang and his wife looked at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that they might have discovered a shocking secret hidden in the family for thirty years.

Cen settled down, "It's not something we can speculate without evidence. Think about it again, before and after the incident, what signs were there?"

Qi Wenang thought for a while, but in the end he was at a loss: "I just remembered at that time. How could they let me know about such a big event at home? But I remember that on the night when my little aunt was gone, my father and grandmother had a big quarrel. There was a quarrel, and the quarrel was turned upside down. But at that time, everyone in my aunt's yard was kicked out, and no one knew what they were arguing about, and since then, there has been a complete separation between grandma and father."

After a pause, he continued: "There is no proof, it's really hard to say this. Grandma loves my little aunt the most. If it's true that my father touched my little aunt, it's understandable that my grandmother took the initiative to make trouble with him. I It was true that I was too young at that time, if we really talk about the events of that year... my eldest brother may know more than me."

But with Qi Wenjing's mediocre attitude, even if he knew something inside, it was absolutely impossible for him to tell the truth.

In short, the old incident thirty years ago really caused quite a disturbance in the inner courtyard of the Qi family this night.

Qi Wenang and his wife chatted for a while, and it was also an agreement——

It's none of my business, don't mention it in the future, just clean up and rest.

On Qi Huan's side, when she returned to Chun Yuzhai, she also told Xing Luo once before going to bed: "Just pretend you didn't hear what I said to my father today, don't spread it outside, and don't think too much about it."

When Qi Huan mentioned that matter at first, Xing Luo was really shocked.

But after all, it was an old matter that had nothing to do with her, and after being busy for an hour or two, the little girl's mood had calmed down, and she nodded cautiously: "I will save it for you."

Kan Kan took a look at Qi Huan, and said again: "Miss, don't think too much about it. We know what kind of person Old Hou is, so let's just avoid it."

She doesn't care about what happened thirty years ago, but if Qi Zhengyu is really a person who would kill his own sister...

When Xing Luo looked at Qi Huan now, he would break into a cold sweat for her.

"I see." Qi Huan laughed and stroked the top of her hair, "I'm asleep, you should go to rest earlier."

That night, Qi Huan thought that he might suffer from insomnia.

But in fact, probably because it happened so long ago and had no direct relationship with her, she didn't think much about it and had a good night's sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I felt much refreshed.

When I washed my face, I first tested the temperature of my forehead, and quickly called Yunxi: "Try it, I... am I feeling better?"

Yun Xi tried it for her seriously, and then called Xing Luo to join her.

They both tried it again, and then went to the wing to invite Dr. Hu.

After Dr. Hu's diagnosis and treatment, he really breathed a sigh of relief: "It's pretty good. I've had a fever on and off for seven or eight days."

However, in order to consolidate her condition, she adjusted another prescription for Qi Huan, and told her to insist on taking it for another three to five days, and then took Qiao Yue to An Xue Tang for breakfast as usual, and the mother and daughter bid farewell to Mrs. Yang in person. up.

Yang is very sorry for delaying her these days.

But she got along well with Dr. Hu, and it would seem unreasonable and unreasonable to calculate the consultation fee for someone at this time. After all, if he just wants to earn consultation fees and silver...

Who would like to be constrained and tired, live in her house, and run around all day long?
Yunxi came back from seeing her aunt, and reported the gossip by the way: "Miss, don't be sorry, Madam is very thoughtful, she cut the material in advance, asked someone to make two sets of clothes for Sister Yue, and brought some more Minor mouth, since the clothes were cut according to the size of Sister Yue, Dr. Hu couldn't refuse, and they have already gone back."

Qi Huan said with a smile: "Mother has always been careful and thoughtful when doing things."

To make friends with different people, you need to use different methods. In this regard, Yang is indeed experienced.

The Hu family's mother and daughter are all affectionate people, and what they covet is not gold, silver and wealth.

Because of Qi Huan's illness, there were children at the dining table at An Xuetang, so she still didn't go to An Xuetang for breakfast this day to be cautious.

Originally, I was bored waiting for Gu Zhan to come, but when Gu Zhan didn't arrive, Mrs. Yun came to invite her: "Miss, the people from Marquis Wucheng's residence are here, madam, please come over."

The people of the Qin family are all polite, so they should come to the door to thank her face to face.

Qi Huan didn't think too much: "Who is here? Mrs. Qin?"

Qin Ying's bone was injured, and it would be impossible to be agile if she didn't take care of her for two or three months.

Lady Yun said: "Master Qin is accompanied by Mrs. Qin, the second son of the Qin family, and the daughter of the Qin family."

Qi Huan: ...

This battle is really a bit big!
