A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

"Ma'am, my uncle is here." Mother Xu, who was guarding the yard, saw Mrs. Cen coming menacingly, she dared not stop her, and she couldn't stop her on the family's territory, so she could only report loudly in a hurry.

Cen's mother and son followed the sound and turned their heads.

However, seeing that Mrs. Cen mobilized the crowd, she actually brought a group of maids and women, and several vicious guards were directly outside the courtyard.

She didn't bring the maids and women into the house, but told them to wait in the yard, and only brought one of her most confidant women to serve her.

From this posture, it can be seen that the visitor is not good.

Cen's mother and daughter suddenly changed their expressions, and they became vigilant at the same time.

As soon as Madam Cen entered the door, the mother-in-law beside her, Mother Jian, closed the door behind her backhand.

"Second sister-in-law, this is..." Mrs. Cen was about to say hello as if she was facing an enemy, but the second wife of Cen had already walked to the main seat and sat down.

Although this is in her house, and she is indeed qualified to be the host, but the current behavior is tantamount to showing off power, which makes Cen's heart sting.

Mrs. Cen's face was stern, and she spoke directly with a gun and a stick: "I was afraid that this child would hide his mind from you and would not tell the truth, so I hurried over here, and came a bit hastily and abruptly, I think you will not be offended, sister. "

Saying that, without giving Cen a chance to react, he looked directly at Qi Yuanming again: "In front of me and your mother, please speak clearly now."

Although Mrs. Cen's attitude was not good, seeing how tough she was, Mrs. Cen knew that no matter what happened, it was her son who was at fault.

Still confused for a moment, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and looked at Qi Yuanming again.

The expression on Qi Yuanming's face did not change much.

Originally a face that was expressionless, now it seems to be a little calm, but the eyes are more gloomy, showing obvious displeasure.

He didn't look at Mrs. Cen, but at Mrs. Cen Er.

Seeing him like this, Second Madam Cen couldn't help becoming even more annoyed, she raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Kneel down..."

Cen's son was also brought up like a treasure in the palm of his hand, and he has never been wronged since he was a child.

Although it's a matter of discussing relatives--

But Mrs. Cen was so strong that she was a huge blow when she came up, and Cen's face turned cold.

Her second elder brother's official position is several grades lower than Qi Wenang's. The reason why she is polite is entirely for the sake of her relatives. Now that Mrs. Cen is merciless, she simply doesn't want to be humble anymore.

With a cold face, Mrs. Cen simply straightened her back and walked to the other chair at the main seat to sit down. She also held a gun and a stick and said coldly to Mrs. Cen: "Look at the angry appearance of the second sister-in-law. What's wrong with my brother Ming, which has offended you, please take it easy and don't be impatient. With me as a mother, if he is really wrong, I will punish him. If you call sister-in-law, you will be so angry. Anyway, it’s my family.”

Mrs. Cen had been holding back her anger for several days, and she was waiting for Mrs. Cen to come over, so she exploded impatiently.

But I don't think, Cen actually has the face to show her off?
Mrs. Cen glared at her aunt angrily. Because of the background of the Marquis of Changning and Qi Wenang's official position, she still had some scruples. She endured it and said in a sly way: "Sister, don't blame me for not speaking well. Be merciful, you and I are both mothers, if it were you, I'm afraid you might not even be as good as I am now in tempering myself!"

While speaking, she meant something, and glanced at Qi Xin who was following Cen's side every step of the way.

Qi Xin immediately took a small half step back vigilantly.

Cen understood in an instant——

Her brother sent a letter saying that she was asked to come and discuss the marriage of the two children. I'm afraid it's not because her son was confused and did something like beheading first and then playing!

If it is true that the son and niece already have their first and last...

As the woman's parents, it is understandable for her second brother and second sister-in-law to criticize her.

Thinking that they are her own brother and sister after all, and she also has a daughter, Mrs. Cen can indeed understand Mrs. Cen's mood at this time——

The next moment, her momentum naturally weakened by three points, and she asked her son with a calm face: "What's going on? Tell me."

But when she saw her son, she faintly felt weird.

If Qi Yuanming really did something unruly, and now their mother and son are in the wrong, Qi Yuanming apologized to Mrs. Cen for showing weakness, but now Qi Yuanming, instead of being in a hurry, frowned coldly .

Regarding the joint pressure from the two elders, he asked instead: "Mother, what did uncles and aunts say when they called you?"

Cen was taken aback.

Although she felt that her son's reaction was not right, she still said truthfully: "It is said that it was agreed between you and Sister Yuan..."

Before she finished her sentence, Mrs. Cen Er was completely enraged, interrupted her, and said viciously: "The good son you have taught has touched the body of my sister Yuan. Is your family married? In the letter, it was for my sister to save you, I don't have the nerve to go into details..."

When Cen heard this, she was so shocked that she almost couldn't sit still.

And when Madam Cen said this, she also remembered——

As for her niece, Cen Huiyuan, two years ago, she heard a mention from her siblings in Beijing that she was going to marry Mrs. Cen's natal family!
If it was really my son who did something stupid...

Cen subconsciously held her breath, feeling that things were tricky.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cen regained her home court advantage, and continued to say coldly: "My sister, Yuan, was already engaged and planned to get married after the Chinese New Year. Now because of him, The good son you raised... What kind of shitty noble, scholarly family, is this the kind of chicken-screaming, dog-thief raised by the Marquis of Changning? Ask yourself, do you and I treat you poorly? We were originally Seeing that you leave your hometown and spend the holidays alone is really desolate, so I called you to come and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, you are kind, just ruin us and your cousin like this?"

There was a reason why she was so angry.

Originally, the end of the new year was approaching, and her natal family came to deliver New Year's goods, and by the way, the two families agreed on the wedding date of the children, but her family suddenly found out that something happened to her daughter.

And she couldn't tell the other party clearly that her daughter was not a woman, and she already had a relationship with someone, so she could only make up random reasons and hastily called off the marriage.

This marriage was agreed to with each other two years ago, and the agreement was made, but now they suddenly regret the marriage, and still refuse to give a reasonable explanation——

Mrs. Cen Er's natal parents and younger brothers and sisters all turned against her directly. Now she is equivalent to betraying her relatives.

Therefore, it is natural to vent your anger and spread your anger on Cen's mother and son.

Cen was so scolded that she couldn't hold her head up, but she still had to pretend to be calm and scolded her son: "What your aunt said is true? You really are..."

Earlier Ling Miaomiao tried to climb into bed, uncooked and cooked rice, and made their family run wild. Qi Yuanming hated it at that time, logically speaking, he shouldn't have done it.

Cen only felt tightness in his chest, thinking that this was probably the so-called feng shui cycle.

But fortunately, her family is her son, no matter what the consequences will not be serious!
Although she never thought of marrying her elder brother's family before, Qi Yuanming failed the imperial examination and missed the opportunity to become a blockbuster. Now it is not so easy to choose a girl who is top-notch in the world, but if she is like her The natal family is married, and everyone gets closer, and his second brother will definitely spare no effort to promote and train this son-in-law.

For Qi Yuanming, this is an opportunity.

At home, Qi Wenang is often away from home now. Based on her female intuition, she probably already sensed a sense of crisis, and she could guess that the man had other thoughts.

It's natural for a man to take a concubine. Even though she is a regular wife, she can't forcefully stop her, and once Qi Wenang has another son, she won't put all her energy on Qi Yuanming.

The calculations in Cen's mind were running fast, and he had already weighed the pros and cons in a few breaths.

Since they are going to get married, and her son has made mistakes first, she is also flexible, and just wanted to change her smiling face to appease Mrs. Cen...

"Aunt." No, Qi Yuanming opened his mouth first. He was still standing straight, neither humble nor overbearing, but his tone was cold with anger: "I have already apologized to you and my uncle for the matter between me and my cousin." After apologizing, you also promised in person that you can use the marriage of the two families to settle the matter, but now you use this matter as an excuse to humiliate and threaten my mother, don’t you think it’s a villain’s face that is contradictory? "

Cen scolded in a deep voice: "Ming'er!"

But she didn't stop her, and Mrs. Cen's face changed drastically.

She stood up against the case and pointed at Qi Yuanming, her fingers were trembling: "You have done something wrong yourself, and you still don't know how to repent, and contradict your elders face to face? If it's not for the sake of relatives, once you report to the government, you will be dismissed." Go to prison!"

It is impossible to report to officials, unless they want to force their daughter to die.

But these words are true, if it is really charged with defilement of other people's daughters, Qi Yuanming's behavior is indeed enough to bring him to justice.

"Second sister-in-law, this child is young and energetic, and he is too filial. Don't be as knowledgeable as him." What else can Mrs. Cen do, glaring at her son, she can only get up to give Mrs. Cen a favor, trying to bring the situation back .

As she spoke, she scolded Qi Yuanming again: "Aren't you going to kneel down and apologize to your aunt?"

Instead of kneeling, Qi Yuanming let out a cold snort.

He ignored Mrs. Cen's pressure, and only said to Mrs. Cen, "If my aunt insists on bringing up the old matter again, then let's discuss the matter as it is. This kind of matter can't be slapped, and it can't be all blamed on me. Please call me cousin Come here, let's all make it clear face to face."

"You..." Second Madam Cen didn't understand why, it seems that he meant to put the responsibility on his own daughter, maybe he was going to throw dirty water and say that his own daughter seduced him first, right?
She was so angry that her voice went off the line.

Can--

Cen's private thoughts are correct. When something like this happens, the girl's family will always suffer. Although she pre-emptively wants to lose her temper and vent her anger, if this matter is to be calmed down, it will end in a marriage, otherwise Her daughter had no choice but to die.

Qi Yuanming is stubborn, since this is the reason why...

"Okay!" Mrs. Cen gritted her teeth angrily: "You don't feel ashamed, do you? If you want to say it in front of your mother, let's say it face to face. Mother Jane, go and call Sister Yuan here."

"Okay, okay, servant girl, go and call the eldest lady over, Madam, calm down first, don't get too angry." Mother Jian helped her to sit down first, tried her best to comfort her, and then went out.

Also in order to avoid letting more people know the inside story, she cautiously closed the door after leaving the room.

Qi Yuanming had a cold temper, as if he was fearless.

If he stood on the spot like this, even if Mrs. Cen still wanted to keep a low profile and continue to apologize to Mrs. Cen, she would be hindered by his attitude. If he was designated as ungrateful, she would simply shut up for the time being.

Mrs. Cen also stopped talking, and only stared at Qi Yuanming with dark eyes.

Qi Yuanming turned his face away coldly.

Qi Xin watched from the sidelines for a while, but by now her brows were already tightly frowned.

Everyone waited for about a cup of tea before there was movement again in the yard.

A moment later, Jane's mother helped Cen Huiyuan, the eldest daughter of the Cen family, come in.

The girl's face was flushed with embarrassment. When she entered the door, she only took one look at Mrs. Cen, then dodged her eyes, bowed her knees and blessed her, and said in a low voice, "I've seen my aunt."

Cen Shi was upset at first, and wanted to deal with her casually, but she was keenly aware that her squatting movements were very clumsy and weird.

Look at her clothes that are clearly not fitting and look very loose...

"Sister Yuan, you are..." Cen gasped, and stood up as if facing a formidable enemy.

Qi Xin was stupefied with fright, her eyes were straightened, she stared at Cen Huiyuan's stomach without blinking.

Cen didn't care too much, and walked up to her niece's belly with three steps and two steps in parallel, and her face changed again.

Cen Huiyuan's belly is clearly showing, at least four or five months!

It's one thing for two people to fall in love with each other and keep secrets. After all, we are a family. For the sake of each other's reputation, we just suppressed the news and got married, and this scandal was completely covered up.

But now, Cen Huiyuan has a big belly, not just conceived!

If it's only a few months, then hurry up and get married now, and then say it's a premature birth, and explain it away, but her belly is so big, even if they get married tomorrow...

It's too late to cover up!
No matter what kind of child, it is impossible to be born in five or six months.

It's no wonder that his second elder brother and second sister-in-law have no good looks towards her, because even if the two families get married and the two children get married, it's not easy to deal with.

Forced abortion will do great harm to the woman's body, and it may be life-threatening. The Cen family must not want to let their daughter take this risk, so the safest way is to hide Cen Huiyuan first, ask her to give birth, and wait for her stomach to calm down. After getting married, I will find a way to arrange for the child.

Countless solutions ran through Cen's mind in an instant, and when he finally came to his senses, he still took his anger out on his son.

She turned around and rushed in front of Qi Yuanming with lightning speed, and slapped her son vigorously without giving anyone a chance to react: "You bastard!"

This time, the corner of Qi Yuanming's mouth was bleeding directly, and he took a step back.

Cen Huiyuan screamed, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Mrs. Cen felt relieved, curled her lips, and sneered.

But he didn't want to, it was her happy smile that completely angered Qi Yuanming.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, but he still didn't give in. Instead, he looked at Cen Huiyuan and said coolly, "I'm sorry, cousin, I wanted to take care of this for you. I've knelt down and begged." I also begged, but my aunt is still relentless even today, and even used this as an excuse to bully and trample on my family... Please forgive me for not keeping my word."

As soon as this remark came out, Cen Huiyuan took a few steps back with a frightened expression.

The others, on the other hand, were all dumbfounded.

Qi Yuanming looked at Mrs. Cen Er again: "Since Auntie wants to report to the government, then she should report it. It happens that no one else needs to be involved. Uncle can go and investigate on his own, and arrest the lunatic who ruined his cousin and bring it to justice for your family." Bad breath."

"You... what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Cen quickly understood what he meant, she was angry at first, and then frightened.

Finally, she Huo De turned her head, stared at her daughter with sharp eyes like a blade, and asked in a trembling voice: "What does he mean by that? You tell me clearly!"

Cen Huiyuan shook her head, turned around with tears streaming down her face, and was about to run away.

However, Mrs. Cen Er rushed forward, dragged her back, held her shoulders with both hands, stared at her face with an almost maniacal expression, and asked desperately, "I'm asking you something, tell me!"

She looked at her daughter's stomach: "Whose child is it?"

"I don't know..." Cen Huiyuan just collapsed and fell limp on the ground, holding her head and just wanting to find a crack in the ground, and she didn't want to see anyone.

At this time, Qi Yuanming had no scruples, and stood behind their mother and daughter and continued to make up his sword: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, my cousin went out to worship the Buddha, and she encountered a bad person when she stayed in the temple that night. Afterwards, she dared not tell her uncle and aunt. It was she who was actually pregnant. Years ago she divorced the Zhou family. I thought our two families were in harmony, my uncle and aunt took good care of me, and my cousin was really innocent. Cover it up. But Auntie, you have to be unreasonable and aggressive, and it looks like I have been a villain in vain."

Mrs. Cen was struck by lightning.

She looked at Qi Yuanming's composure, and then at her daughter's panic breakdown...

It is easy to judge the authenticity of this statement.

But this blow was too heavy, the next moment, she felt dizzy and fainted.

"Ma'am!" Jane's mother exclaimed, and the whole room was in chaos.

Cen couldn't sit idly by and hurriedly brought her daughter to help.

Qi Yuanming watched coldly, with a cruel smile on his lips, he looked away indifferently and ignored it.

Wei Feng leaned on the roof, watching the people in the courtyard clamoring for a doctor, back and forth, and then the whole Governor's Mansion was in chaos, so he took the opportunity to slip away.

At the moment, Qi Huan and Gu Zhan are still listening to an opera in the private room of a teahouse across the street.

He rushed over and relayed the news he had heard: "Second Madam Cen fainted on the spot, and Second Master Cen also rushed over. Now their house is in chaos, so the subordinates will come back first. This is not a trivial matter, and they will definitely have to discuss the solution later, and I will go back and listen to it later."

Gu Zhan was playing with a celadon teacup in his hand, he didn't comment, but just looked at Qi Huan.

Qi Huan came to a conclusion without even thinking about it: "Qi Yuanming is not a kind person who is willing to do good, especially if this is nothing else, even if it is to win the support of the Cen family, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to find someone to help him." Wearing a green hat."

Wei Feng recalled Qi Yuanming's reaction during the whole process he saw from the roof, and he also took it seriously: "The attitude of the second son of Qi is indeed strange. He must have guessed that the Cen family must be unforgiving, so he waited. Let the other party back away if they get into trouble, and send an empty favor out?"

"It's not beneficial not to wake up early. If it's just to get away in the end, he might as well not provoke him in the first place." Qi Huan still didn't take it seriously, "Cen's girl won't be so unlucky for no reason, and she will encounter such a thing when she goes out for a trip. , she happened on the night of August [-]th. Qi Yuanming came to Cen's house on the afternoon of August [-]th to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. In the next few months, Miss Cen kept hiding her pregnancy because of fear until the end of the year The people from the Zhou family had no choice but to invite the second Mrs. Cen because they agreed on the date of the marriage. It was such a coincidence that Qi Yuanming arrived again two days before this, and just in time discovered the secret of Miss Cen's family, and offered to help her tide over the difficulties... "

Gu Zhan's expression was flat.

Wei Feng turned pale with shock: "You suspect that the girl from the Cen family was plotted by him?"

Qi Huan was noncommittal, and only raised his chin at him: "Whether it is true or not, you will find out if you go to find out again?"

If the matter of Ling Miaomiao hadn't happened, Qi Huan would not have judged others with evil and doubted Qi Yuanming like this.

But now-

Almost without any hard evidence, she can be sure that Qi Yuanming must be the instigator of this whole thing!
As for why he would poison his uncle's family...

Is it just to win over his second uncle who is determined to promote him and support him?
