In fact, there was no rest in the Yang family's gate that day.

Ning's mother and son have a dark history behind their backs, and they are considered lonely in this world. Except for Yang Chenglian's direct sister, Yang Chen, and the in-law relationship formed after the marriage of several concubine daughters, there are no other relatives. up.

The incident at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet spread the next day, and the city was full of uproar.

Because Yang Chenglian was only dismissed from his official position, and on the surface it was because he was implicated by Concubine Wen, and the emperor still retained his rank. For a while, most people kept a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, and they haven't made trouble yet. , Immediately rushed up to the point of stepping on it.

The reason why there was no stopping at his house was that Mrs. Yang and Chen ran here for two consecutive days in the name of caring.

On the first day, I cried as soon as I entered the door.

Weeping over the body of her old mother Ning, worried about the old lady vomiting blood and falling ill.

She cried again for her elder brother Yang Chenglian, who lost his official position and cut off his official career.

Cry again for her niece who was deposed as a concubine...

In short, just crying at the door, Ning Shi was already upset, and she didn't get over it, and it was even more unlucky for her to cry like a mourner.

Mrs. Yang and Chen were exaggerating the atmosphere there, but they haven't gotten to the point yet——

The old lady scolded her head and face, and directly blasted her out.

Yang Chenshi has been afraid of her biological mother since she was a child, seeing her get angry, she didn't dare to say a word, and left in despair.

I went home to regroup and came again early this morning.

This time summing up yesterday's experience and lessons, weeping before entering the door again, and ran to Lixiangyuan to serve soup and medicine for Yang.

Looking at her words, she saw that the old lady was still calm, so she asked obliquely in her heart: "Mother, I am a woman, and I really don't know much about officialdom. It's just my elder brother this time... he was troubled by his niece and daughter." His majesty took away his official position in anger. According to you...after a while, if your majesty loses his temper, will he recover?"

Ning still hasn't slowed down in the past two days, and most of all she doesn't want to hear any news about this matter.

Besides—

She also knows too well that her daughter has shallow eyelids, and she only has a little bit of petty calculation in her heart.

Yang Chenshi came to show her hospitality two days in a row, and she knew that the other party had something in mind.

Therefore, the supplements that have just been eaten in the mouth have lost their taste.

Her eyes turned cold.

Yang Chen took another spoonful of bird's nest porridge and brought it to her lips. Seeing that she stopped opening her mouth, she looked up——

Facing the old lady's sharp, falcon-like gloomy and cold gaze, her heart immediately shrank.

Her lips twitched, and she was instantly speechless.

Seeing her guilty look, Ning Shi became even more angry, and said in a strange way: "What, do you have a way to get your brother back?"

Yang Chen is a woman who has lost two husbands in a row. She entrusts her brother, who has been blessed with a high-ranking official, with two husbands, a merchant, and a Beijing official with a moderate official background. She gave birth to sons by two men, and these two sons were in favor of Yang Chenglian's uncle, so Yang Chen's life was quite good.

The two sons, daughter-in-law and grandson of the two surnames live in the same courtyard with her, and they are surprisingly harmonious. There is no disharmony in the family of the two surnames, and they are all very filial and accommodating to her.

But when Ning was young, she put all her thoughts and hopes on her son, and neglected to discipline her daughter. Yang Chen is a short-sighted woman, and she can't count on her when things go wrong.

On this point, Yang Chen himself is also clear.

Ning's choking sound made her choke enough.

She smiled embarrassingly, "What did my mother say, I don't have that ability..."

Just as he was thinking about whether to get straight to the point and ask Yang Chenglian about the inheritance of the family business by his step-heir, the door curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Jiang came in with her maid.

The maid held a tray in her hand, on which were placed medicine jars and a set of small celadon bowls.

"Is mother feeling better today? Your medicine daughter-in-law has been fried, and the doctor told me to drink it while it's hot, so I brought it." Mrs. Yang walked forward with only a little smile line on her lips, and Enthusiastically and kindly said to Yang Chen's hard work, "Mother is not feeling well, staying in the house to recuperate from illness, thinking about it, it is inevitable that she will be depressed. Thanks to my aunt's filial piety, she came to talk with her, and I have to ask you to explain more to my mother."

Yang Chen really looked down on this so-called sister-in-law who was younger than her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't like it, and Jiang's family background was also average, so she rolled her eyes secretly and ignored it .

Mrs. Yang was calm and not angry.

Rolling up his sleeves, he filtered out the soup with his own hands, stirred it and dried it to a temperature suitable for his mouth, and served Ning to drink it.

During this period, Yang Chen did not speak again.

Ning's was naturally not in the mood, and the atmosphere in the room seemed very cold and weird.

Mrs. Yang took it in and out freely, and after serving Ning's mouthwash, she instructed: "The doctor told you to rest more recently and don't bother yourself. I just took the medicine. You'd better take a nap in half an hour to refresh your mind." .”

"En." Ning responded lightly.

Mrs. Yang said: "The daughter-in-law there will not delay your conversation with your aunt."

She took her maidservant and came out with an empty medicine jar and medicine bowl.

Instead of going back to his yard, he went to the kitchen, intending to arrange lunch.

Judging by Yang Chen's posture, he should also stay for dinner today.

Her maid followed her step by step, and when she got out of Lixiangyuan and walked to a place where no one was around, she said with a worried look on her face: "Ma'am, this aunt at home is a no-nonsense person who doesn't get up early, and we didn't see her run away when we just returned to Beijing." You are so attentive, maybe you are plotting something this time, why don't you be more wary of her?"

"All she can calculate is this family property." Mrs. Yang was very calm, and she didn't even show any indignation at the eldest sister's return to calculate her own property.

Only--

Her expression was not at all relaxed, and she frowned worriedly.

After walking another two steps, looking back at the direction of Lixiang Garden behind her, Mrs. Yang sighed, "What I'm worried about now is the outside. On the way out of the palace the night before yesterday, brother talked to me a few words. In fact, in this situation, the master is It's time to retreat bravely, and it just so happens that he is getting older, so he should resign in a timely manner, leave the court, and quit this whirlpool."

But these two days, whether it was Ning or Yang Chenglian, they were clearly still racking their brains to recover.

Yang Chenglian has been an official for [-] years, although it is disgraceful to step down due to such an opportunity, it is inevitable that he will not be reconciled.

Can--

Smart people, shouldn't they know how to advance and retreat?
The servant girl thought that the matter was not that deep, so she pursed her lips and said, "Our master, a first-rank censor of Youdu, was only promoted this year. Such a powerful official position is rare, and it's normal to be reluctant."

Mrs. Yang looked back at her, but didn't say anything more after all.

It's not that she is unmotivated, but that she has seen with her own eyes——

When he left the palace the day before yesterday, it was clear that Gu Shizi from Pingguo Mansion brought Miss Qi from Changning Hou Mansion to block the mother and son, and the old lady was so excited that she vomited blood on the spot.

The Yang family was unable to set up a trap for others, but it clearly stabbed a hornet's nest.

This is not an ordinary person, even if they are shrunk now, they will not let them go, so what is there to jump around?

She was worrying here, but she was also afraid of something, so the porter ran over in a hurry: "Ma'am, so you are here, and you are easy to find. At the gate...Miss Qi from the Marquis of Changning came to visit. "

Mrs. Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Her maid was even more surprised and blurted out: "Why did you come here so hard?"

The matter in the palace spread, and the servants also heard about it——

It was the two daughters of their own family who designed to frame Miss Qi's cousin, and they were caught on the spot. In front of the emperor, empress and officials, Miss Qi actually made their family do it with the support of the Pingguo government. The imperial concubine's girls are all overthrown, this can be said to be a big knot!
It stands to reason that His Majesty the Emperor has personally dealt with it, at least on the surface, the Qi family shouldn't make things difficult again.

But that Miss Qi just didn't take the usual path, and came to her door again!
At this moment, the porter decided that she was not a good person, so he dared to let her in the door casually.

Mrs. Yang's face also changed a few times in an instant, she gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone has come to the door, I'm afraid I can't hide, I'll go and have a look."

Yang Chenglian was also at home, so they could have reported this matter to Yang Chenglian.

But as we all know, this lady has the best temper in the family, who is okay to mess with Yang Chenglian's mother and son?

Seeing that Mrs. Yang was willing to come forward, the servant was really relieved, and hurriedly led her to the gate with a courteous attitude.

At that time the housekeeper had already rushed over, and Qi Huan was already sweating profusely when he stopped him in the name of visiting the sick.

And when there was nothing to do, Mrs. Yang rushed over.

Qi Huanyuan also guessed that the servants of the Yang family did not dare to let her into the mansion easily, so they stayed in the carriage all the time.

Finally seeing the person in charge appeared, she called Lao Jing to open the car door and got out of the car.

"Miss Qi." Mrs. Yang's attitude is calm and polite, "My mother-in-law is recuperating from illness, it may be inconvenient to see guests, she is old... What's your matter, can I convey it?"

Qi Huan didn't have any special feelings for Mrs. Yang.

Having met twice before, she only regarded him as an inconspicuous foil beside Ning's grandparents and others.

Now that they have dealt with each other head-on, she took a serious look at the other party, and asked straight to the point: "Mrs. Yang wants to stand in the way, and she can stand up for the family, so I have to ask first...the real reason why your family designed to frame my cousin And the inside story, is Madam clear?"

After Mrs. Yang got married, she also entertained a lot of big scenes and all kinds of female relatives of high-ranking officials and noble families.

But it was the first time she met someone who played straight balls like this young lady from the Qi family.

Qi Huan's question was sharp and hit the point.

Madam Yang's face froze immediately, and her voice became hoarse.

Looking at her expression, Qi Huan guessed the result, and smiled again: "If you don't even know the inside story, how are you going to negotiate with me?"

Madam Yang pursed her lips, still hesitating for a moment.

In the carriage, Gu Zhan suddenly poked his head out of the window.

He just fell asleep, and there was a bit of sleepy laziness in his expression, which was also tepid: "Last month, your old lady celebrated her birthday and specially sent an invitation card. But I didn't think the threshold of your house was so difficult to enter, why... just because we came here empty-handed, the family doesn't welcome you? Mr. Yang also needs to have a sense of power, so as not to be insecure at the end of the day."

Because he didn't show up just now, no one thought that he would accompany Qi Huan to visit the house and smash the scene.

Mrs. Yang's maid secretly tugged at her sleeves in fear, with a guarded look on her face.

Originally, Qi Huan alone was already very difficult and difficult to deal with.

Now add Gu Zhan...

"Gu Shizi was joking." Mrs. Yang quickly adjusted her mentality. Since it was impossible to stop it, there was no need to force a conflict. She gave in decisively, "It's my old lady's patient. Two. Since you don't mind, please come in."

But Gu Zhan and the two obviously came with bad intentions. She let people in like this, which is to lure wolves into the house.

Her maid was afraid that she would offend Ning's mother and son, so she pulled her sleeve desperately behind her.

On Madam Yang's face, she looked calm, pretending not to notice.

In the carriage, Gu Zhan stretched his arms and legs, picked up Qi Yuanchen and was about to get out of the carriage, but was stopped by Qi Huan: "Don't follow me, those who don't know think I'm going to bully others."

Gu Zhan wasn't worried that it would be unsafe for Qi Huan to go in alone. Yang Chenglian is now on the cusp of the storm, even if their mother and son are good at playing tricks, they don't dare to openly do anything to Qi Huan in their own house.

"Then you come out earlier, if your brother starts to make trouble, I won't be able to take care of him." He very obediently retracted his head that had poked out of the car door.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yang felt a heavy heart.

But she still adjusted her mentality as quickly as possible, and invited Qi Huan in: "My old lady is sick, and the master is in the study outside..."

Ning's old age, she just vomited blood and fell down. She was afraid that Qi Huan would go over and make the old lady angry again. She couldn't bear the responsibility, so she wanted to lure Qi Huan to Yang Chenglian.

There was a faint smile on Qi Huan's lips all the time, and he categorically refused: "No. I want to see Ning Shi directly!"

When she entered the door, she didn't even pretend to be, she actually called such a "respected" old lady like Ning by her first name.

Mrs. Yang stopped in embarrassment.

Qi Huan smiled, took a deep look at her, and said word by word: "Even though Yang Chenglian has gained some fame in the officialdom these years, in your mansion, Ning is still his master. But you can’t be the master of the Ning family, can you?”

In the officialdom, Yang Chenglian can be regarded as an all-powerful figure.

Mrs. Yang was slightly shocked.

Before she got married, she didn't know the specific situation in the Yang family, but even though the mother and son of the Yang family avoided her most of the time, she has gradually figured out the way in the past few years...

Indeed, what Qi Huan said is the truth, between the mother and son, it is true that the Ning family is the stronger one, and she is the one who advises Yang Chenglian on many things and makes him go.

Qi Huan clearly wants to talk to someone who can be the master of the house...

She couldn't refute for a while, so she could only break her heart and order her maidservant: "Then you go to the study and call the master over."

These words more or less meant to test Qi Huan in person.

The maid took a look at Qi Huan and saw that Qi Huan didn't stop her, so she turned and ran away.

Mrs. Yang led Qi Huan and continued to Lixiangyuan.

Speechless all the way.

When the two of them entered the yard, they just heard Ning's scolding voice inside: "Don't worry about these things for me. I'm not dead yet, so you want to share your brother's property here?"

"Old madam!" A confidant of Ning's who was guarding the door yelled in panic.

The sound in the room stopped abruptly.

Even Qi Huan couldn't help but look sideways to see Mrs. Yang's reaction.

But Mrs. Yang didn't seem to hear the movement in the room, her expression was still calm.

She walked forward, and without waiting for the woman to calm down, she directly led Qi Huan into the room, "Mother, there is a guest coming to visit you."

The two mothers and daughters in the room knew that someone must be coming just now when they heard the woman yelling.

At this time, both of them were silent, and they followed the sound at the same time.

The moment Ning saw Qi Huan, her pupils shrank violently.

And Yang Chen next to him was at a loss.

She looked up and down at this pretty and somewhat outrageous little girl, thinking that it was a girl from Yang Chenglian's colleague's family who came to visit, and even immediately remembered that she had not yet settled on a satisfactory grandson, "Tsk tsk, Whose girl is this, so marked..."

Before she finished speaking, Qi Huan interrupted her: "Changning Hou Mansion, Qi Huan!"

Immediately, Yang Chen felt as if someone had been stuffed with rotten mud, his mouth was open, and his face changed terribly.

Among the juniors in this family, even Concubine Wen and Yang Pan'er only know that they have a feud with the Yang family of the Yang family, the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning, and they have no idea how or what kind of enmity they have Got it.

Ning herself knew that the things she had done were shameful. Now that she is a prominent figure in front of others, she would not expose her shortcomings, and tell the younger generation about her black history as her success.

But Yang Chen, she grew up by Yang Bingen's side until she was an adult and married, and called him his father for fifteen years. She knew very well the origins of her siblings.

There was a weird silence in the room for a moment, followed by her, she jumped up angrily, pointed at Mrs. Yang and cursed: "Are you out of your mind? Who will take home? The eldest niece she just killed was thrown into limbo. Even His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is no longer our family member... Are you indiscriminate? Don't beat her out with a big stick..."

In just a short while, Yang Chenglian, who got the news, rushed over sweating profusely.

Ning was afraid that her daughter would reveal the truth about the family in front of her daughter-in-law, so she said to Mrs. Yang coldly: "It's none of your business here, you go out first."

Sure enough, she was still an outsider!
As expected, Mrs. Yang resigned obediently, then turned around and walked out.

Her maidservant was looking around in the courtyard, seeing that she was the only one coming out, she couldn't help being angry: "What do you mean? Even that aunt..."

"Don't talk too much, let's go." Mrs. Yang stopped her in a low voice, and led her out of Lixiang Garden with a cold face.

The servant girl was so wronged by her that she was about to cry: "Sending you out at this time is obviously treating you as an outsider. Even the aunt who can't be clear can stay in the house, but the only one who will You kick it out... Madame, you are the mistress of this family!"

Mrs. Yang said nothing.

In the room of Lixiangyuan behind him.

All three of Ning's mother and son were facing a formidable enemy, staring at the slim Qi Huan in front of them with more hostile eyes than the other.

but it is--

No one took the initiative to speak first.

Qi Huan didn't waste time with them either.

She took a look at Yang Chen first: "My grandmother was mad at you, my mother, and my uncle was conspired and murdered by your elder brother. One of them, one of them, owes our Yang family two." A life is worth a life. I will get it back sooner or later. As for you, you only took a little money from the surname Yang as a dowry. The grievances between our two families have nothing to do with you."

It was the first time for Yang Chen to deal with her, but she never expected that this little girl would be arrogant and domineering, with such a temper.

It's just that, when she was old, looking at such a delicate and weak girl like Qi Huan, she instinctively felt contempt in her heart.

Seeing her talking wildly now, she immediately choked up: "Speak out loud, this is Yang Moyin's upbringing, it taught you to be like this..."

"If you're just here to show off your quick tongue, you're here now, just leave now!" Ning Shi had experienced the power of this little girl face to face, and she was afraid that her disappointing daughter would hold her back. In front of outsiders, she would not Scolding her daughter to shut up, she only targeted Qi Huan.

Qi Huan pulled up a chair, and sat down firmly: "It's already here, we don't want to talk, how can I get out!"

Ning's family was fine, brother and sister Yang Chenglian had never seen such an arrogant and arrogant girl in their entire life, they were so angry that their eyes stared like gold stars.

Yang Chenglian's face sank like water, and he said in a hateful voice: "My family has nothing to talk about with you..."

Qi Huan casually pushed down a porcelain jar on the table.

The porcelain jar was huge, and it fell to the ground with a slap, breaking apart.

Yang Chenglian's words were interrupted, and his brows were knotted.

Qi Huan sat still, raised his eyebrows, and said in a casual and contemptuous tone: "Blood debts, ready-made broken porcelain pieces, you and your mother can choose whatever you want. Today, I will kill myself and apologize in front of me. I won't talk nonsense."

Yang Chenglian's mother and son's face sank like water.

Yang Chen was dumbfounded!
