A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Qi Huan slowed down slightly.

Since Yang Chenglian, the remarried wife, has the least status and sense of existence in this family, when she planned to retaliate against Yang Chenglian's mother and son, she temporarily did not take this Mrs. Yang into account.

Now that they were facing each other head-on, she was momentarily uncertain of the opponent's intentions and attitude.

However, he continued on as if nothing had happened.

And, preemptively—

"Is Mrs. Yang waiting for me here? This is the second time I've walked the road in your backyard, and I already recognize it."

Mrs. Yang looked worried, and stared at her self-confident and obviously hostile expression for a while, but finally pursed her lips, and asked without answering: "May I ask, what is the relationship between Miss Qi and my old lady?" Has your holiday been settled and can it be over?"

This Mrs. Yang is quite a courageous and straightforward person.

"What do you think?" Qi Huan's fake smile on his lips remained unchanged, and he still didn't answer directly.

Mrs. Yang smiled wryly: "The incident in the palace was so big, if it wasn't for the deep-seated grudges that have been fermented for years, they wouldn't have made such a big fuss just because of a small incident."

The first to flirt is cheap!

Ning and the others took advantage of the convenience of people in their palace to punish them to death, but now that the matter was exposed, they came to knock their teeth out, and they could only swallow them.

When Mrs. Yang brought Qi Huan in, she deliberately mentioned Ning's age, which was already testing Qi Huan's attitude.

Can--

From her standpoint, although she hoped that Qi Huan would stop chasing and beating him for the sake of the old, weak and sick of the family, but he gave him what he said——

Old age is not a gold medal for exempting people from death, nor a shield for getting rid of crimes after conniving at them.

Mrs. Yang herself has an elder brother who is close to her brother, and she moved from place to place. If someone did something like this to ruin her future or even kill her elder brother, she wouldn't care whether the other party was a dying old man or a child with half-toothed teeth. You have to go all out and fight with each other.

Understandable is understanding, her current position is here...

Mrs. Yang looked a little hesitant, but she still stood in front of her and didn't get out of the way.

Qi Huan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then why don't you ask the whole story of the old enmity between the mother and son and our family?"

"What good is it for me to know about this kind of thing? It's better not to know." Mrs. Yang managed to gather herself together, and once again looked directly into her eyes with a sincere expression, "So, you must watch this family fall apart. Only then can you vent your anger, right?"

"There is a wrong and a debtor. In fact, as long as the mother and son are willing to commit suicide and apologize, I don't want to take the blame on others, but I have negotiated with them just now. They haven't enjoyed their rich and prosperous life enough, so I don't want to part with it." Qi Huan To be honest, it is already the greatest face for Mrs. Yang, "Are you asking for mercy? Persuade me to let it go?"

Madam Yang's lips moved, and her expression became more and more entangled and struggling.

She begged for mercy, but she really couldn't be shameless for that, so she hesitated again and again——

She gently placed her palm on her abdomen through the clothes, and said with difficulty: "I... am pregnant."

Qi Huan was stunned.

Subconsciously looked down at the position of her abdomen.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed, and although the weather had turned cold, the clothes she was wearing were still not too thick and bulky.

Mrs. Yang is a petite woman. At first glance, her abdomen is still flat as usual, and there is no sign of pregnancy.

But Qi Huan's first reaction was——

If it weren't for the three steps of polite distance between him and her, he would have taken two steps back almost immediately to put a safer distance away from her.

There is no way, I used to watch too many Zhai Dou Gong Dou dramas, and instinctively created a psychological shadow.

Although Qi Huan didn't move now, the defensive meaning in her expression was clearly revealed.

Mrs. Yang saw it, and felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't mean to get close to Qi Huan, she just stated the facts bitterly: "I went to the doctor a while ago, but I thought I'd wait to get through the first three months. I will tell the outside world after the fetus is stable, so the people in the house don’t know yet.”

In order to spread the branches and spread the leaves and give birth to a son as soon as possible, Yang Chenglian had a group of concubines in his backyard.

Whether it is those concubines who are looking forward to giving birth to a child and a half, or the six unmarried daughters in the backyard including Yang Pan'er, once the news of her pregnancy is made public, they will immediately follow her. The wife's stomach.

After all, what if she only had a daughter?

Yang Chenglian has no son in front of her, and everyone will think that she will fight for more property and future dowry for her daughter.

Anyway, there is only such a large piece of fat in this mansion, if she divides it up too much, it is tantamount to mobilizing the vested interests of others.

The old lady of the family, Ning Shi, has a lot of rules, but she has only cared about her own comfort for many years, and only asked Yang Chenglian's concubines and daughters to be respectful and filial to her. In fact——

She looked down on those concubine girls, and didn't pay attention to their upbringing. The concubine girls were mixed with their respective aunts, and the backyard of the house was full of smog.

Qi Huan didn't pick up on it, and she didn't have the position to resonate with Mrs. Yang.

If Mrs. Yang really didn't know anything about it and didn't participate in the matter of Ning's mother and son, then she and her children are indeed innocent.

but--

Isn't Yang Yuting innocent?Isn't Yang Qingyun innocent?Even the terrible failure of her grandmother's marriage, shouldn't she be given justice?

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Seeing this, Mrs. Yang had a clear insight into her attitude and determination, she quickly adjusted her mentality, and smiled again, "I brought you here, and I sent Qi Da Miss out."

She turned around, got out of the way, and was about to lead Qi Huan to continue walking to the front yard.

Not far ahead, there is an arched door, and her maid has been guarding the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

As soon as the two of them turned around at this moment, they saw Gu Zhan holding Qi Yuanchen, and two aristocrats, one big and one small, walking towards each other.

Gu Zhan was too tall, when he passed the arch, he even lowered his head, he was short enough to pass smoothly.

He has a calm expression on his face, but he is just a man from the army. Even when his attitude is the mildest, he has a natural aura about him, which makes it difficult for outsiders to treat him with a normal heart.

At least--

Madam Yang saw his dignified appearance walking so gracefully, but she felt a huge sense of oppression in her heart for no reason.

"Why did you come in?" Qi Huan said with a smile, and took two quick steps to meet him.

Gu Zhan said: "Didn't you miss breakfast in the morning? I bought some for you nearby, and let it cool in the carriage."

This is true.

Even if this is the opponent's home court, he really doesn't think Yang Chenglian, mother and son, would dare to do anything to Qi Huan today.

"Then let's go." Qi Huan naturally took Qi Yuanchen from him, then turned to Madam Yang and said, "We can go out by ourselves, so Madam won't be troubled any longer."

"Okay." Mrs. Yang knew that the relationship between the two parties was difficult to reconcile and restore, so she did not continue to post more appropriately.

She stepped forward and said apologetically, "No matter if there is something wrong with my family, I should still say sorry for them."

Qi Huan didn't say yes or no, just smiled, and still didn't answer.

Mrs. Yang didn't feel embarrassed either, she was about to leave after being held by the maidservant, but she heard Qi Yuanchen say sharply: "Little sister!"

Several people were taken aback.

Qi Huan followed the little thing's line of sight, and saw that he tilted his head and was staring at Mrs. Yang's belly seriously.

think it's -

Just now when he was waiting for her at the arched door, he heard her talking to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang couldn't react in time and froze there.

Seeing this, Qi Huan hurriedly pulled the bear boy to his side, and apologized at the same time: "Don't mind Madam Yang, we don't have any children of the same age in our family, and the only good playmate my brother has is a little girl whom I know well. , so he will be more fond of little girls. Please don't mind the childish words."

Yang Chenglian's family is dedicated to seeking a son.

After all, this Mrs. Yang has been married for the sixth year, and she has not been pregnant before. She probably thought it was because Yang Chenglian was getting old and some of her functions had become useless.

Now I finally got a big belly——

The designation is for my son!
To a expectant mother who was just pregnant with a child, Qi Huan still tried to show kindness as much as possible.

Madam Yang's hand subconsciously stroked her abdomen again.

There was no trace of blame or displeasure on her face, and it might be because she was pregnant with a child that she also loved children like Qi Yuanchen, and she liked them a little bit.

So, instead of blaming her, she bent down and chatted with Qi Yuanchen very kindly: "You mean that aunt's stomach is a little sister?"

This "auntie" is a casual address for strangers who are not related.

But in fact——

This Mrs. Yang should be her and Qi Yuanchen's aunt.

Qi Huan suddenly felt that this was also a good luck trick.

Mrs. Yang's attitude is kind, and Qi Yuanchen is not afraid of strangers. He looked at her, nodded solemnly and repeated: "Hi sister!"

But he didn't know if it meant that Yang Shi was indeed pregnant with a little sister, or Qi Huan responded by admitting that he prefers to play with the little sister.

The maidservant next to her was clearly feeling a bit uneasy, but Mrs. Yang was still smiling and didn't mind.

Qi Huan didn't want to get too entangled with her, so he patted Qi Yuanchen's little head, and took him and Gu Zhan to leave together.

Madam Yang straightened up and did not continue to see them off in the front yard, but only looked at the backs of the three talking and leaving with a smile.

gradually--

The smile on the brow of the eyes dissipated little by little, and was stained with boundless melancholy.

After a long time, she murmured: "These two are really talented and beautiful, and they are a good match."

Mrs. Yang, the Jiang family, entered the Yang family only six years ago.

In terms of age alone, she is three rounds younger than Yang Chenglian, who is enough to be her grandfather.

When the two got married, Yang Chenglian was already in a high position, even if it was a second marriage, she would naturally be the first married girl of the second marriage, if she hadn't been from a mediocre family—

The honorable family with a little heart would not tell their daughter to an old man who is over fifty years old as a sequel.

The brothers and sisters of the Jiang family came from a poor family, and she caught up with her family when she was born. Fortunately, her brother was able to live up to his expectations, and he was admitted to fame. A few years ago, he caught up with his official setbacks. The position of the piece could not be moved for two sessions, and it happened that Yang Chenglian was looking for the continuation string.

The mother and son of the Yang family only wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to sons, so as to continue the incense. Moreover, Yang Chenglian's official position was already quite glorious, and there was another daughter who became a concubine and gave birth to a prince. She didn't care much about the woman's false name. The girl has had a hard time since she was a child, she is sensible, and she is a good child in terms of figure and appearance. The Yang family thinks it is okay.

Girls from aristocratic families not only have a complicated natal background and a lot of troubles, but also tend to develop some extravagant and lustful little characters...

Ning doesn't like it!
As for the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang was born as a Jinshi, and he is also a bit of a literati. He was very hesitant at first, but Mrs. Jiang thought about it——

At that time, she didn't have a sweetheart who was like her, so who would she not marry?

Anyway, the elder brother's official position was not high at that time, and the right family would also be with the husband and son-in-law, not to mention that he would definitely be able to find a good man with good character and a future. Come on brother.

Thus, the marriage was completed.

Afterwards, Yang Chenglian gave a helping hand, and with a little help, Mr. Jiang passed the threshold of promotion smoothly.

And he himself is very competitive, he has been promoted to three ranks in two consecutive terms in six years, and now he is at the fifth rank, and he is considered a decent Beijing official.

But Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Jiang, is only [-] years old this year, and lives with Yang Chenglian, who is nearly [-] years old...

Her personal servant girl was brought from her natal family, and her first-class confidant, listening to her emotion, thought she was putting herself in front of others, and felt aggrieved, so she hurriedly helped to make up for it, "Isn't that because of her birth? It is said that the Qi family The eldest girl's temperament is not good at all, if she was not born in the Hou's mansion, where would she meet someone like Gu Shizi?"

But in fact, if Jiang had a better background, he wouldn't be in the situation of being a sequel to a bad old man like Yang Chenglian.

These words really couldn't comfort her.

But she also knew that this maidservant was loyal to her and had no malice, so she smiled calmly and said: "Good background, reincarnation, that's her ability, I can't envy you."

When the servant girl heard her laughter, she realized it later, and realized that what she said just now was not right, and her face panicked.

Just as she was about to apologise, she saw that Mrs. Jiang had already suppressed her smile, and was stroking her flat stomach in a daze with downcast eyes.

The maid hurriedly explained again: "You can't believe a child's unintentional words. Ma'am, you are a lucky person. You will definitely be able to get a boy in one fell swoop and give birth to a young master."

Yang looked sideways at her: "It is said that children have the clearest eyes, and sometimes they can see things that we can't see."

"Ma'am!" The servant girl let out a low voice, looked around to see if there was no one, and then said anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense, it must be a young master!"

Looking at the attitude of the Ning family's mother and son towards the daughters of the family, there is no need to mention the concubine daughters. Concubine Wen is the daughter of the first wife in the family, and she even wins honor for the family.

At the critical moment, the mother and son, in order to protect themselves, said they would push it out as a scapegoat, so they pushed it out mercilessly.

"Even if it's a male, it may not be good." Mrs. Yang said, her tone was firm and mocking.

Before today, she was indeed still hesitating, and she also hoped that she could give birth to a son.

Although Yang Chenglian came from a grassroots background, he has accumulated some family property over the years as an official.

As long as she gave birth to a son, and when the two old ones were killed, she could watch over her son and live a stable life.

This life can be regarded as a good end.

But now, this family has formed a deadly feud with the Marquis of Changning and even the Duke of Pingguo. I don't know how much is involved behind it...

If it wasn't for some serious matter, why would Ning's mother and son be so frenzied that they would reach out to the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet to plan to kill someone?
If it weren't for the huge involvement behind it, how could Miss Qi of the Changning Hou Mansion be relentless and openly come to seek revenge?

Will this family really have a good death?

If the family is ruined, or if Yang Chenglian is not safe at the end of the day, and the shocking black news is finally found out, even if she gives birth to a son, she will let him bear the stigma left by his father and be pointed at by others for the rest of his life?

not to mention--

Yang Chenglian hasn't given birth to a son for so many years, and she doesn't have that self-confidence, so she will definitely be able to give birth to a son!
Mrs. Jiang was distracted for a while, and when she was struggling and hesitating, she saw the big girl in Ning's room rushing over in a panic from the direction of the backyard, "Ma'am, you asked your servant to find it easy, why are you here? Old lady He vomited blood again and passed out, so I have to call a doctor immediately."

That's right, when there are big things, the mother and son will treat her as an outsider and drive her out. Once they encounter troubles and trivial matters that require someone to wipe their buttocks and be an old mother, they will immediately think of her.

In the hearts of this family, she is a complete outsider!

She deserves to share their difficulties, but she will never think of her for the first time when good things happen!
"I see, I'll ask someone to invite you." Mrs. Yang made up her mind in an instant and made a decision, but she didn't show it on her face.

After dismissing the servant girl, she told her maidservant, "Go to the porter to send a message, the doctor will tell them to invite them, and you go to the carriage and stable to prepare the carriage."

The maid asked in surprise, "Madam, are you going out?"

Jiang said: "I'll go to see my mother first, and I'll come back to our house later. Brother, doesn't he have a good hundred-year-old ganoderma? I'll ask for it so that I can use it as medicine for my mother."

When she arranges things, she is methodical and neat.

But today, the servant girl can always hear some unusual sense of urgency from her calm and firm tone.

For a while, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, so I just followed her orders to do things.

Mrs. Jiang returned to Lixiangyuan and took over Mrs. Ning who was unconscious again.

Yang Chenglian, a filial son, didn't guard as usual, he left the mess to her, turned around and left with a dark face.

Yang Chen opened his mouth, wanting to call him, but because of the presence of an outsider, Jiang, he didn't speak.

The old lady passed out there, and the things in the house were thrown into a mess by her.

In fact, Mrs. Yang Chen also wanted to leave, but if she left at this time, the old lady would wake up and turn cold towards her, and she would not be able to ask her grandson to come here to inherit the family business...

Therefore, Chen Yang pinched his nose, endured his impatience, and stayed here.

Only--

There is Jiang Shi, a ready-made old lady, who is busy, but she is sitting far away, not touching her hands to serve.

Mrs. Jiang didn't care about her, so she asked someone to clean up the broken things in the house, cleaned up the blood stains and dirt that Mrs. Ning vomited on the mat, changed the bedding, and called a few strong women to come in and lift Mrs. Ning up. Get into the bed and lie down comfortably.

After finishing these tasks, the doctor also arrived.

Because Ning has been paying attention to maintenance for many years, although she is old, her body is actually very good. She vomited blood twice in a row and still did not hurt the root. After the doctor injected the needle, she recovered.

"Mother, you're awake, you scared my daughter to death!" Yang Chen stayed by the bed at the moment, seeing Ning's eyes open, she pretended to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Ning looked around the room weakly.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was there, her eyes flickered immediately, and she said weakly: "Go and do your work, there is a lot of unrest at home and outside these days, take care of the people below, and don't make any more troubles!"

She was afraid that she would talk in her sleep when she was in a coma, which would reveal some old things and be known by Jiang Shi.

Although Mrs. Jiang has long been accustomed to similar situations, she is especially chilling now.

But she still responded with a gentle smile on her face: "Okay, my daughter-in-law will take care of the house, mother, you can just calm down and recuperate."

Then as soon as she came out of this yard, she went back to her mother's house without stopping.

On the other side, the Gao family of the general's mansion and the family of Wuchenghou's mansion came to express their condolences.

Incense was lit in the mourning hall, Mrs. Qin went to the backyard to visit the sick general’s wife Qi Wenjing, Qin Shuo and Qin Ying also talked with the acquainted princes and girls of the family, only Qin Song avoided the crowd and walked to the front yard Standing in a corner of the garden.

There is no doubt that meeting Qi Huan and Gu Zhan on the street in the morning stimulated him again, so that he was uneasy.

It was only when he realized that everyone was walking behind him that he suddenly became clear-eyed and turned around.

Qi Xin, who was dressed in plain clothes, stood in front of him.
