A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 327

The paper burns, with a fragrance of grass and trees.

Xing Luo, who was buried in the post, turned around and saw a bit of paper dust on the charcoal, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, did something accidentally fall into the brazier?"

Qi Huan smiled indifferently and said, "The graffiti of Brother Chen that I found in the house is nothing serious."

Naturally, Xing Luo would not doubt it, just as he was about to discuss with her how to choose the clothes to wear when entering the palace, he saw Yun Zhi appearing outside the room with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and whispered: "Miss, just now the Madam Shizi sent a message to call you Take the time to go there."

She has been working in Qi Huan Courtyard for some time after recovering from her injury. She is a second-class girl in name, but Mama Zheng only arranges some unimportant chores.

Qi Huan is lukewarm towards her, and usually turns a blind eye to her.

It's not that Yun Zhi is not uncomfortable, but she always suspects that Qi Changge told Qi Huan about her situation before leaving, just to break her back, so now Qi Huan always calls her cold and unfriendly attitude towards her. It's like sitting on pins and needles.

To be honest, she lived like a year in Chunyuzhai, which can be described as very difficult.

"Understood." Qi Huan didn't give her a second look, glanced at her, and gathered the cloak that hadn't been taken off yet.

When Xing Luo saw Yun Zhi, she immediately became vigilant in her heart, and said to Qi Huan, "Miss, let's go, this servant stays to tidy up the house."

Before there was Yun Xi, she could safely follow Qi Huan everywhere, but now Yun Xi is gone...

Although Qi Huan is a good master, and a big servant girl is enough to deal with it, but it seems stretched to meet a careless girl like Yun Zhi who needs to spend extra effort to keep an eye on her.

"Yeah." Qi Huan understood what she was thinking, nodded slightly and went out.

When she went to An Xuetang, Mrs. Yang had just returned from work and was sitting drinking tea.

Qi Yuanchen was taking a nap at the moment because he didn't sleep at noon.

Yang greeted Qi Huan to sit down, and Guiyue served the brewed tea and went out holding the tray.

Qi Huan warmed his hands holding the slightly hot tea cup.

Yang went straight to the point: "Have you figured it out?"

The question was, of course, the wedding date of Qi Huan and Gu Zhan.

Qi Huan shrugged and looked as usual: "Sooner or later, and he can't stay in the capital all the time, we settled things earlier, so he can do what he should do."

This daughter of mine is the one with the most ideas, Yang Shi understands...

She just confirmed this matter in person, and there was no room for her to comment or veto it.

Obviously Qi Huan was still thinking about the Gao family's affairs in the past two months, she really never expected that Qi Huan would cheer up so quickly, and made a final decision.

But as someone who has experienced it and is also a woman, she can vaguely understand that the reason why Qi Huan does not retreat but advances is nothing more than because he and Gu Zhan have a strong relationship and cannot part with each other.

In fact, she doesn't want her daughter to have too much affection for Gu Zhan in her own heart, sometimes it's just like that when they get married and live together...

"Understood." In the end, Yang Shi just sighed secretly in his heart, without showing any extra emotions on his face, he just said to Qi Huan: "Then let's see if your father Xiumu will come over someday. Let's discuss specific matters."

Qi Huan was also amazed at his wife's vigorous and vigorous style, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be in such a hurry. It is the end of the year, and the houses on both sides will be busy with human relations and trivial matters. It is not too late to discuss face to face after the New Year is over."

Yang glared at her: "What do you know? This marriage is a big event, and there are always a lot of things to prepare for, and it will be too late after the next year. If you want to get married in March, I will wait for you in February." Ask someone to break the furniture for you?"

It is very particular about marrying a daughter of a rich family, but if conditions permit, they will prepare all the things that the daughter may need for the rest of their life, and take care of the daughter's life.

Especially Yang's character who is like a pet girl and a madman...

If you want her to be simple in this matter, you can directly avoid talking about it.

Qi Huan was also stingy, and muttered casually: "If it's too late, you don't have to fight. How can the Duke of Pingguo be short of me?"

Yang was displeased: "What they have is theirs, and what is yours is yours. In short, hurry up and ask him to come over and discuss it carefully at some time."

"Understood." Qi Huan didn't dare to confront her, but obediently agreed.

only--

Thinking about it again, three or four months are fleeting. After she gets married in the coming year, there will be no twists and turns on the Marquis of Changning. Yang doesn't even have a helper or someone to discuss with her.

Qi Huan's expression turned serious instantly, but he didn't drink a sip for a long time while holding the tea cup in his hand.

She stared at the transparent color of the bisque, thinking: "Mother, is it possible to separate from the second bedroom as soon as possible and live alone?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that it didn't make much sense.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang also clarified the mystery: "The root of the problem is not Erfang. Moreover, from the time your father and the old man turned against each other to the time you settled on this marriage, the Erfang couple have calmed down a lot, basically they have lost all hope." .Even if they are separated early... in this mansion, as long as there is that old couple on top, there will be no completely comfortable life."

Qi Wenang's past few decades have been smooth sailing.

Steadily promoted in the officialdom, the wife in the house is virtuous and shrewd, and the two sons and daughters from the first marriage are also raising very well...

But now, although he has not been affected in his official career, his only sons and daughters have ruined their bright future one after another, which is enough to make him discouraged.

If there is no successor, no matter how much he risked his life, he was promoted and snatched the title, and then what?

Without qualified heirs to inherit, the future is still bleak and a complete failure.

What's more, because of the matter of the two children, Mrs. Cen is still at odds with him, and now the husband and wife are in dire straits. In fact, Qi Wenang seldom came home to live in these two months.

And Qi Zhengyu's place——

Although he directly hated Dafang's family, but the two children of the second room have lost his old face, and Qi Huan has arranged a good marriage, Dafang has a strong backer, and now the old fox has begun to retreat on purpose. Stay behind the scenes and watch the changes.

He didn't like the first room, the second room disappointed him, and the third room Qi Wenyan was a living enemy...

With the old man's temper, it is inevitable that he will suffer now, but he has no choice but to make do with being blindfolded.

Similarly, Yang's family will also be suppressed by a hat of filial piety. As long as the old man is still alive, she will never be at ease.

Qi Huan felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart, so he thought about how he could help her solve her worries.

Although there is a saying that the parents do not separate the family, if the second room thinks of a way to get them to separate in advance, it is not impossible. At most, they will be talked about and laughed at, but even if the family is separated, Qi Zhengyu and his wife have to follow him lived with his eldest son.

Besides—

There is still a noble title waiting to be passed on in this family, which binds his father and son together even more.

Qi Huan was helpless.

Yang said: "Your second uncle recently said that because of conflicts with your second aunt, he basically lives in the yamen. In fact, there are already people around him. Don't you know about this?"

Qi Huan pulled the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

Of course she didn't know.

Even though she didn't keep an eye on it, Gu Zhan was well informed and had already told her about it.

Qi Wenang has guarded a concubine for so many years, and he has not promoted a single concubine. This is not because he has no male roots, but it only shows that he is a career-controlling type of person, and most of his energy is spent on making money. In the officialdom, he is not so enthusiastic about the things between men and women.

And why did he only think of raising a child when he was almost [-] years old today? The recent conflict with Cen is just an appearance, to put it bluntly——

This is because the eldest son is useless, and he is taking the time to practice the trumpet while he still has spare energy.

Yang said: "Before, because of Brother Xu's affair, the old man took advantage of the issue and scolded your father for blood. It was tantamount to taking off his face and letting the second bedroom step on it. Now your second uncle himself is going to this Jumping into the fire pit, even if the old man is partial to him, as long as I bring this matter up, he will treat him equally. If you want to separate from the second bedroom, I can go to him to make trouble at any time, and you don't have to worry about it. "

Anyway, Qi Huan didn't bother with it for the time being, and he regained his composure and said to Yang, "His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang is about to reach her age, and the empress of the palace gave me a post, asking us to go there together at that time." Watch the ceremony."

Empress Gu posted a post, in fact the post was written with Yang's name, but it was brought over by Prince Yun Zhan and handed over to Qi Huan.

Qi Huan was a little vague about what that meant.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang misunderstood, thinking that the post was sent to her by Gu Zhan, but just took advantage of the situation and thought: "I remember the birthdays of Princess Zhaoyang and His Royal Highness..."

"The twelfth of this month." Qi Huan said, "The post is with me, and Xing Luo is keeping it."

"Okay, got it."

The mother and daughter chatted for a few more words, and Qi Huan came out from An Xuetang.

She was walking towards Chunyuzhai with her neckline closed, seeing that she had turned the last corner, Yun Zhi seemed restless on the path along the courtyard wall and had waited and watched for a long time.

Seeing Qi Huan showing her head, her eyes flickered, obviously showing some hesitation.

Qi Huan kept his composure and continued to walk forward slowly, walking up to her: "Are you waiting here on purpose to block me?"

Yun Zhi's face paled slightly, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your servant is guilty, please be merciful, young lady, and give me a lenient sentence."

"Is this what they said?" Qi Huan was condescending, his tone was loose, and he took time off.

Yun Zhi didn't dare to raise her head at all, she just buried her head and knelt at her feet. In order to concentrate, she focused her eyes on the pearls inlaid on the toe of her embroidered shoes, and tremblingly began to confess: "I dare not lie to the eldest lady. People are threatening and intimidating, so I tried my best to enter the courtyard of the young lady and follow her."

Qi Huan remained silent.

Yun Zhi waited for her to ask, but when she didn't, she still didn't dare to meet her gaze head-on, so she could only grit her teeth and continue: "The person who bought and threatened the slave is the third lady of Prime Minister Ye's mansion, that is, Prince Ning's mansion. Concubine concubine. Her status is noble, powerful and powerful. She found a servant and told her to get close to the eldest lady. Then she watched your every move and waited for her orders. The servant... the servant knows that she should not betray her master. , but...but the servants are also afraid of death, so...they can only agree to her."

Yun Zhi confessed in this way, and then waited for a storm.

However, Qi Huan didn't even give a sharp reprimand, she just thought about it and said slowly: "She asked you to come to my yard to watch my tail, and then you entered my yard smoothly. , you are quite capable."

Although she didn't get angry at these words, they didn't sound like good words.

Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, and her eyeballs rolled wildly.

But thinking that with his head down, Qi Huan couldn't see her guilty conscience.

She said: "I don't know about this servant... Not long after the second lady left the cabinet, she suddenly came up to the servant on the street and threatened the servant. Then... After that, there was no news for a long time, and the servant thought that This happened like this. Then, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Aunt Yun asked her servant to stop Miss Fourth from going out of the house to cause trouble for her. The people in Prince Ning's Mansion found another servant and told her that the opportunity had come. The servant listened to them I ordered to ask Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun... Maybe she is a pitiful servant, so I will really beg for mercy and ask the young lady to take in the servant."

Qi Huan still listened to her calmly and said, "Then what happened afterwards? Did you do anything specifically for them?"

"No!" Yun Zhi shook her head hastily, "Absolutely not! The servants don't want to see them, let alone do things for them. After entering the eldest lady's courtyard, they try to avoid going out and keep their own place. But at Madam Hou's birthday banquet, King Ning His Highness personally came to the mansion to make trouble, the servants were terrified, afraid that they would find me again... After thinking about it, I can no longer hide it from the eldest lady, so..."

"Then what's your plan now?" Qi Huan said, "Since you don't want to work for them, do you want me to give you a deed to let you go out of the house?"

"No!" Yun Zhi blurted out her refusal, and kowtowed again in fear, "Miss, don't drive the slaves away. If you tell them that the slaves don't want to work for them and betray them, the slaves will have no way out. Please continue to call the slaves." Stay here with you, this servant promises to be safe and secure, and will never do things like cheating on others. Just... I beg you to give this servant a place to live and save his life."

Hearing this, Qi Huan laughed softly: "Looking at it, you think I am more powerful and reliable as the eldest lady than the side concubine of Prince Ning's Mansion?"

This question was not within Yunzhi's preparation, she was momentarily at a loss for words when asked.

One is the lady of the Hou's mansion, the other is the prince's side concubine, and they are both women in the back house. Naturally, the side concubine of the Wang's mansion with royal status has a crushing advantage in status.

Yun Zhi hesitated for a while before saying: "This servant just thinks that Missy is kind-hearted and a good person...so..."

A good person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden by others. If you ask in front of a bad person, the bad person will not show kindness, but if you ask in front of a good person, the good person will be taken advantage of...

Qi Huan didn't think this was useful.

But she was still tepid, "If that's the case, then get up."

Yun Zhi climbed up tremblingly, it was only now that she mustered up the courage to raise her eyes inch by inch, looking at Qi Huan's face.

With an indifferent smile on Qi Huan's face, he really looks like a good person who has nothing to do with the world.

She said, "Remember what you said just now, you can't do anything against the Lord."

"Yes, servants, please remember." Yun Zhizheng was terrified.

Qi Huan raised his chin: "Go back to work, just pretend you haven't seen me before."

"Thank you, miss. The servant will leave." Yun Zhi responded again, bowed her body, and took two steps back.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Qi Huan say again: "I think I'm a good person, but not all good people in this world are good people."

Yun Zhi didn't understand her meaning for a while, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at her again.

Seeing Qi Huan's bright but smiling face like a spring breeze, she really couldn't think of anything else, then she gave another blessing, wiped her tears with her sleeve, turned around and ran away first.

Qi Huan stood where he was, watching her all the way into the gate of Chunyuzhai.

Xing Luo, who was hiding on another small path not far away, only appeared at this time, leaned close to her, and asked with a wary look, "Which song is she singing?"

"Ye Xunyi taught it." Qi Huan kept his eyes fixed on the distance, but his face was already indifferent, "Aunt Xun was not threatened by them, nor was she won over by her, so she was naturally worried that she would threaten Xun Aunt Xun will be honest with me about my aunt sending Yun Zhi to my place. Instead of taking the risk of having her identity exposed, and jumping around in my eyes like a buffoon, it is better to take the bottom of the pot and reveal her identity to play a bitter trick , and once again won my trust.”

However, they couldn't go to Xun Su to confirm, to see if Xun Su had sold them.

In fact, Xun Su may not have said it, after all, Yang was so kind to her, if she knew that she had plotted against her daughter for her own selfishness, Xun Su would not be able to bear the blame.

However, Ye Xunyi didn't dare to gamble.

If she wanted to continue using Yun Zhi, she had to clean up all the suspicions on this girl at once.

And in fact-

Xun Su just didn't want to expose Su Qinnian, she found her from Ye Xunyi, because Yang was stimulated by the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so she waited for two days. Once Yang's health improved, Ye Xunyi She told Yang Shi everything about looking for her and threatening her with Yun Xi's background.

A person like Ye Xunyi is treacherous and unprincipled, so she feels that everyone else must be like her, and feels that if she catches Xun Su and uses her own daughter as a threat, Xun Su will definitely abandon the relationship between master and servant She is doing her best to protect herself and her daughter.

"This Yun Zhi is a stupid one, she dragged her fox tail all over the ground without realizing it, and then got together with that Ye family..." Although Xing Luo was a little worried and concerned, but seeing Ye Xunyi and Ye Xunyi What Yun Zhi did, I felt it was ridiculous, and it was hard to explain it in words.

Are they really playing everyone else as fools?Do you think that if they fool others casually, they will take it all and believe it?

"Both are self-righteous idiots!" Qi Huan gave a precise verdict.

Then she withdrew her gaze, looked at Xing Luo and said, "Just pretend you don't know what happened just now, and keep staring at her. I want to see what thrilling moves they can make together."

This means that Ye Xunyi didn't use Yunzhi to poison Yunxi at that time, if Yunzhi had been involved in that incident, Qi Huan would have taken her out and chopped her up.

Now she still has patience, so she can just coax Ye Xunyi to play.

Anyway——

It is still useful for the big shots in the palace to keep her, and now there is no way to really pull out Ye Xunyi and beat her to death.
