A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Qi Wenjing showed embarrassment.

Although everyone in the entire family thought that the haunting incident in the mansion was caused by Qi Huan's execution of Yun Zhi, only he knew who Qi Zhengyu's inner demon was who couldn't sleep every night.

Originally, the old matter was already a knot in Qi Wenyan's heart, and he was doing his family a great deal of face by not mentioning it, but now...

The old man had a guilty conscience, and the moth came up to him.

Qi Wenjing was almost terrified, and stretched out his hand to take the talisman away, while explaining insincerely: "Father is getting old, and he has always been confused lately."

However, Qi Wenyan was one step ahead of him, and put the paper talisman into his sleeve very casually.

He didn't answer and didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Wenjing even thanked the Bodhisattva from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly led him to continue walking.

The two brothers returned to the second courtyard, and Qi Wenjing still did it himself, accompanying Qi Wenyan to the courtyard where he used to live.

Qi Wenyan is now on his own, but in fact, he had already packed all the things here when he moved.

When he came over at this time, all that was left in the room were the furniture that had been used for many years, and some sundries that he didn't need.

From the bedroom to the study, he still patiently looked through everything.

When he finally came out, his fingers stroked the door frame polished by the baptism of time.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but he looked at Qi Wenjing with emotion on his face: "Although I didn't come back often before, this really feels like revisiting the old place."

He doesn't like this Qi family, and actually doesn't need anyone's charity and help, but it was during his loneliest and desperate years that Qi Wenjing gave him such a shelter.

He came back with Qi Wenjing when he was seven years old, and lived in this courtyard for five years. He started to study at the Imperial College when he was twelve years old, and he rarely came back after that.

He lived in the library when he was studying, and lived in the yamen after he became an official, but Qi Wenjing kept this yard for him until he moved all his things to the house in Pingkangfang.

Qi Wenjing heard the words, but suddenly regretted that he would vacate his yard for Yu Shi, so he quickly explained: "Actually, it's because your sister-in-law and sister Huan can't get along with the old lady, so I thought that if she must If you want to move, let her move to the front yard. There are some vacant yards in our garden, and when you get married later, ask your sister-in-law to arrange a new yard for you, and come back to live at any time."

Of course, it's definitely not possible now.

Qi Wenyan smiled: "Let's talk about it later."

The two of them came out of this courtyard, went into Qi Wen Jingshu's room and sat down to drink a cup of tea.

Now that the topic was brought up, Qi Wenjing took advantage of the situation and asked: "Is there no clear statement about your marriage yet in the palace? Roughly set a wedding date or something, so we can make preparations in advance."

At Yun Cheng's age, the royal family is definitely not in a hurry, but Qi Wenyan himself doesn't care. Marriage is just a ceremony for him, and it's for the world to see, so he won't take the initiative to push this matter.

Of course, in this case, he would not tell Qi Wenjing, but only perfunctoryly said: "Recently, because of the matter of King Ning and King Rui, the situation in the court and the harem are all tense, and your majesty is exhausted physically and mentally, and his health has not been very good... I guess Gu Don't talk about our affairs."

Married to the royal family, they themselves are completely in a passive position, and in fact they have almost no say.

Qi Wenjing could only go along with the conversation and say something innocuous: "His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang is still young, and it would not be a bad thing to delay for a year or so."

mainly--

Qi Wenyan's age has come!
If he hadn't been enlightened, the children would have run away by now.

It's just that no matter how anxious he is, there's nothing he can do now, he can only listen to the royal family's arrangement.

Qi Wenjing deliberated again and again, and asked about the things that have been on his mind for a while: "There is also your errand, did your majesty say anything in private? If you get married..."

Qi Wenyan has come all the way to today, and it is not easy to achieve the current official position. If it is Princess Shang, she will have to be dismissed...

Qi Wenjing still had a hurdle in his heart, and felt it was a pity.

However, Qi Wenyan's expression was calm, with a calm expression: "I haven't said anything yet, the great thing is to follow the imperial court's regulations. It's also good to get a free job."

Qi Wenjing sighed: "It's good that you know what you can think of, anyway, in this life, you will live it no matter what."

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Qi Wenyan put down the teacup and got up: "It's getting late, I should go back."

Qi Wenjing also stood up, "I'll see you off."

"No need." He was about to send him off, but he refused, "It's freezing cold, just a few steps away, I can walk by myself, brother should go back and rest earlier."

There is really no need for my brothers to be sent back and forth, Qi Wenjing is as good as a follower.

Since the end of the new year, he basically lived in the backyard for a while, so the two brothers came out together and parted ways at the gate of the second courtyard.

Qi Wenjing went back to the backyard, Qi Wenyan put his hands in his sleeves, stood at the door and watched him go away, but he himself did not go in the direction of the door, but followed behind, and also turned towards the inner courtyard.

this way -

The natural one to go is Fulin Garden.

Recently, Qi Zhengyu was suspicious, and when it got dark, the courtyard was strictly guarded and closed the door.

Qi Wenyan calmly called the door open, and the mother-in-law who was in charge of the gate led him to knock on the gate of the courtyard where Qi Zhengyu's study was located.

After a while, the steward in the courtyard came out to open the door. Seeing that it was Qi Wenyan, his face immediately changed as if facing a formidable enemy: "Third Lord? It's so late, you are..."

Qi Wenyan looked past him, looked at the brightly lit room behind him, and asked without answering, "Is the old lord asleep?"

The whole mansion knew that the old man had been haunted by dirty things recently, and he couldn't sleep all night long. He usually stayed up all night with the lights on, and he might be able to take a nap the next day.

But the steward blurted out without even thinking about it: "Sleeping."

This is just the beginning.

After a pause, the steward immediately explained with a guilty conscience: "Master Hou is getting old, and he has been feeling unwell recently, so he can't stay up late."

The old man has been moody recently, and he would throw a tantrum at the slightest bit of displeasure. He and his third master are even more at odds with each other. We have to meet each other...

I'm afraid that the people in this yard will not be able to live in peace all night.

The steward also knew that his third master was not easy to mess with, as if he was facing a big enemy, he was afraid that Qi Wenyan would force his way in if he wanted to find fault.

But he didn't want to, he was worried and guarded against death, but Qi Wenyan didn't hesitate at all, he directly reached out and took out a yellow paper amulet from his sleeve and handed it over: "I just picked it up when I passed by outside, don't ruin the feng shui array in your yard, Go back."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the steward to respond, he directly stuffed the talisman into his hand.

Actually-

He just turned around and left quickly.

The steward was holding the talisman in his hand, but he had an unbelievable expression on his face, and he didn't react for a long time.

It stands to reason...

Should not be!

The bitterness and hatred between the father and son are deep, and now knowing that the old Hou Ye is not in a good condition, the third master wants to add fuel to the fire and make things worse, but he deliberately knocked on two courtyard doors at night to find him. In order to return a picked up paper talisman?

The steward here was stunned for a while, then closed the courtyard door again in a daze.

On the other side of the main courtyard, Mrs. Yu has also been exhausted by the old man recently. When it gets dark, especially if he is afraid that there will be trouble again, as long as he becomes suspicious again, everyone in the entire Fulin Garden will stay away that night. She wanted to sleep well, so when she heard the movement in the front yard, she sent Mama Gu over to investigate in a hurry.

Mama Gu hid in the small garden, stretched her neck and watched for a long time, waiting for Qi Wenyan to leave, and then returned to the back room to report to Shi Yu.

Qi Wenyan didn't find fault and didn't make a fuss. This was an innocuous episode, and this matter should have been exposed in such a peaceful manner.

Then she slept until midnight, in the Spring Rain Room, Xing Luo suddenly knocked on the door and forcefully dug Qi Huan out of the bed.

Qi Huan was sleepy and staring, and got up angrily: "It's not dawn yet..."

Xingluo sat on the edge of the bed, supported her with one hand to prevent her from lying down on the bed, and grabbed her clothes with the other hand and said, "Miss, get up quickly, something serious happened, the old marquis suddenly coughed up blood in the middle of the night, and said it was due to circumstances." Not quite right."

Qi Huan was sleeping in a daze, and his brain reaction was a little slower than usual, but after being thrown off the blanket and shivering from the cold, he reacted accordingly.

The next moment, her drowsiness disappeared in a flash, and she suddenly opened her eyes completely.

While taking the clothes and putting them on, he continued to ask for details: "What time is it now? When exactly did it happen?"

Xing Luo said: "When we first arrived, the incident just happened. The people around Master Hou went to Anxuetang to call for Master Shi, and Master and Madam rushed there first. Mama Jin came over just now and said that Master Hou might not be able to do it." I'm telling you and the young master to hurry over as well."

Qi Huan stopped talking, quickly put on his clothes, put on his cloak and went out.

He didn't go directly to Fulin Garden, but went to An Xuetang first.

At that time, Mama Jin had already brought Mama Liu and the others to pick up Qi Yuanchen who was sleeping, and wrapped them in thick winter clothes.

Seeing Qi Huan approaching, Jin's mother hurriedly said: "Old Lord Hou is dying, Madam asked the slaves to come back and call you and the young master..."

However, Qi Huan stepped forward, carried Qi Yuanchen back into the house, and said, "Don't take Brother Chen for now, Ms. Liu, you watch over him and tell him to sleep for a while, I'll go first."

Yang Shi said that Qi Zhengyu's body itself has no major problems, but he has been suffering a lot due to being suspicious recently.

Although he hasn't confirmed it personally, Qi Huan probably knows that there is something tricky about it.

The old man's appearance at this time must be ugly, don't scare the child anymore.

Mother Jin hesitated for a moment, but Qi Huan couldn't help saying that he had already grabbed her, closed the door and left.

The two of them left Qixia Garden, and in the corridor, they met Qi Xin who should also have just gotten the news.

It was late at night, and because of this kind of thing, Qi Xin seemed to be in a bad mood and in a bad state.

The two looked at each other and ignored each other, but they walked along the way.

When they rushed to Fulin Garden, they saw that the courtyard was brightly lit inside and outside, and it was already a mess.

The courtyard was full of servants who were looking forward and looking. As soon as Qi Huantang and sisters entered Qi Zhengyu's room, they were immediately stopped by Mrs. Yang who was standing at the door: "You children are family members, don't go in."

She was afraid of scaring the girls with the old man's appearance at the moment.

Qi Huan didn't have the heart to show filial piety to the old man at first, so he stopped moving forward as soon as he was kind, but just glanced inside through the screen, and asked Yang with a solemn expression: "What's the matter?"

Yang turned her head and looked outside, making sure that the servants were all standing far away, so she lowered her voice and explained: "It is said that it was midnight when she just drank a bowl of talisman water and started vomiting blood. Doctor Chen said it was poisoning."

The two brothers Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenang were in front of the old man's bed inside, guarding Dr. Chen for consultation, while Cen and Yang stood in the outer room and waited.

At this moment, Qi Xin followed closely beside Cen with a slightly frightened expression.

Cen couldn't help but add one more sentence: "Doctor Chen said it's enough."

Qi Huan pursed his lips.

She was not afraid of the scene in front of her, but glanced around with sharp eyes, and suddenly asked, "Where is grandma?"

Yang Shi and Cen Shi looked at each other without making a sound.

They are daughters-in-law, and they can't control the affairs of the husband and wife. Qi Zhengyu and his wife seem to be in harmony...

Mrs. Yu lives just across a small garden from this side, in the same big yard, and they are calling doctors and juniors over here. Even if no one specifically called her, Mrs. Yu should have been alarmed by now. .

Mrs. Yang didn't want to be troublesome at first, but when she saw her daughter asking about it, she reluctantly ordered a servant who was watching the situation outside: "Go to the backyard and ask Mrs. Hou to come over."

Immediately a maidservant outside responded.

Qi Huan thought for a while, then turned around and came out, and went to Yu's yard by himself.

At that time, the maid had already knocked on the gate of the courtyard, and was fighting with the arrogant maidservants in the courtyard.

Those people blocked her from entering the yard...

Qi Huan walked over quickly, and said without talking nonsense, "Grandpa is dying, and I have a last word to explain to grandma, go in immediately and send a message to grandma."

When Mrs. Yu went to Qiuxinju to show off her lust, she brought almost the whole courtyard with her, so everyone in the courtyard had seen how powerful her young lady was. Avoid its edge.

Those women still wanted to stalk their necks, but when they met Qi Huan's dark and cold gaze, they immediately faltered, "Yes."

There was such a commotion in this courtyard, but the room where Mrs. Yu lived was still completely dark with no lights on.

A woman in charge entered the room, and after a while the lights came on, and she heard Yu yelling, "He didn't talk to me when he was alive, so what is there to talk about now..."

Qi Huan raised his foot and rushed in.

The servants didn't dare to stop them, so they quickly backed away.

Yu Shi probably didn't expect Qi Huan to barge in without saying a word, and when he saw her, his whole face froze.

Qi Huan glanced at her well-dressed clothes calmly, and said in a cold tone: "You have been married to him for decades, even if you just pretend to make us juniors lose face, don't do these things at this time. For the so-called embarrassing things, it is better for you to go there by yourself than for me to have someone tie you up."

Where did Yu think that in another face-to-face confrontation with this granddaughter, the other party would come up and be so merciless?

but--

There was really nothing she could do with Qi Huan.

At this time, his eyes were dark and his face was ashen with anger.

Unconvinced for a moment, he stared at Qi Huan intently.

"Go!" Qi Huan really had no scruples, and ordered her directly with a forceful tone.

Yu Shi felt that she should not suffer such treatment, but she knew very well that the trick of relying on the old and selling the old was useless in front of her granddaughter. If she was playing tricks, this girl could really do what she said, and asked someone to come and arrest her Tie it to Qi Zhengyu's side, then it will really lose face.

He gritted his teeth bitterly, and finally got up and walked outside.

When he walked past Qi Huan, he gave another fierce look.

Qi Huan didn't mind, and when she went out angrily, she turned around and followed out leisurely.

When she reached the yard, she stopped again.

"Miss?" Xing Luo, who was holding her hand step by step, tried to call her in confusion.

Qi Huan said: "Call Wei Feng and find Mama Gu."

Xing Luo has been serving her closely, although Qi Huan won't tell her thoroughly about some things, but generally he doesn't shy away from her, so—

According to various signs, Xing Luo actually knew exactly how these things happened tonight and what they meant.

"Yes!" Therefore, she didn't ask any more questions, but nodded cautiously in agreement.

After leaving Yu's courtyard, Xing Luo ran away first.

Qi Huan returned to Qi Zhengyu's side again, and as soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard Qi Wenjing and others crying in the room: "Father..."

The servants watching in the yard immediately knew that this was the death of Lord Hou, and they all knelt down immediately.
