A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

After coming out of Misty Rain Pavilion, the two families dispersed separately.

Qi Wenjing had to arrange for people to go to Luzhou and Ling Zhicheng's hometown, so Qi Wenang and his wife went back to the backyard first.

After they left, Qi Wenjing also looked worried, and looked at Qi Huan hesitantly: "Huaner, your aunt's incident happened suddenly, if what she said is true, then we have to get along with you no matter what. The Ling family reconciled, but this way...the reputation will not be good, you...Chen Yi..."

Qi Huan, a modern thinking person, has never implanted the concept of implicating the nine clans in her mind, so when Qi Wenheng's incident happened, she always sought a solution based on the facts.

When Qi Wenjing mentioned it suddenly, she was momentarily stunned and didn't understand it until——

Qi Wenjing mentioned Gu Zhan!
In a family, the reputations of the girls are tied together, and one is prosperous and the other is damaged.

If there was a girl who was abandoned in the previous generation of the Qi family, even if it was just a reconciliation, for the girls in the family, it would be a black spot when discussing marriage.

Because a girl in the family has a bad reputation, the engagement is withdrawn, and even the married is dismissed and returned to her natal family. These things happen from time to time.

Although Gu Zhan seems to be very fond of his daughter, but this marriage is a high priority of his family, if something happens again and again...

Nobody's patience is limited!

Qi Wenjing looked helpless.

Yang Shi also faintly sighed.

Qi Huan shrugged, but smiled indifferently, and interrupted him: "You said Gu Zhan, he is fine, aunt is aunt, I am me, he is not a three-year-old child, he has his own ability to distinguish, It won't be confused. If my parents are worried that my aunt and divorce will affect my marriage, then there is no need to worry too much, I'm fine. "

Qi Wenjing looked at her with a confident appearance, but in fact, in his perception, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But on second thought-

A lot of bad things happened back and forth in the family, all of which were seen by Gu Zhan, if he disliked turning his face, he didn't care about it, so he simply broke the pot and left it alone.

"It's good if you have a bottom line." He sighed: "If the surname Ling has been deceiving us for many years, then you must not let your aunt live with him any longer. From this kind of indiscriminate riding to acting wild on the head."

This is a gamble, for the integrity and face of the entire Qi clan!
If you even admit this kind of thing...

Then this family is too useless, don't expect to be able to hold their heads up in front of others in the future.

Without further ado, Qi Wenjing immediately arranged for people to run errands in Luzhou.

In order not to startle the snake, they were ordered to leave Beijing secretly.

Qi Huan didn't let Qi Wenjing's person accompany him to Luzhou, but asked Guan Yusheng to go with Luo Zhang.

After the old man was gone, Qi Huan did not settle the old debts and move Guan Yusheng, but left him for Qi Wenjing to use.

I have to admit that——

In terms of employing people, the old man's vision is indeed remarkable. Guan Yusheng is very reliable in terms of his ability to handle affairs and his sense of propriety.In addition, he followed Qi Zhengyu before, and he also knew some of the dirty things in Qi Zhengyu's hands and the inside story of the Qi family. If he didn't want to kill him, he might as well stay in the mansion and continue to use it. Very, I dare not make a fool of myself.

As for Ling Zhicheng's hometown, Qi Wenjing was sent to accompany him.

During the period of waiting for the news, Qi Huan was still worried. This day, taking advantage of Mrs. Yang's spare time doing needlework, she came over to sit around and pass the time.

Mrs. Yang was sewing clothes for Qi Yuanchen with her own hands. She didn't hear her words for a long time. She raised her eyes to see her frowning expression and broke the silence: "Chen Yi hasn't written to you for a while, right? Why are you looking at me?" Listless."

"It's far away, so it's inconvenient to write letters." Qi Huan perfunctory, rummaging through a pile of fabrics in boredom, "I'm thinking about the Ling family."

Mentioning the matter of Qi Wenheng, Yang immediately felt a headache.

She scratched her fingers and thought about it carefully: "The person sent out has been away for seven or eight days. It is a long journey, and with the time spent working there, it will be good to be back within half a month."

"Luo Zhang followed, I'm not worried about them having an accident." Qi Huan said, he simply took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, crossed his knees to the table of the kang, and seriously studied with Yang: "Mother, my little aunt is dead It's hard to change. If the matter of the Ling family is verified to be true, it will be fine to deal with it later, but what about the little aunt? With her temperament, even if you can find a big boss to take over, can she live well with others? When something goes wrong, people follow the clues, and they have to find our family to be responsible."

If there is a problem with the quality of the ex-factory products, you have to do after-sales frequently. Who can bear this endlessly?

Yang put aside the needle and thread in her hand, tapped her wrinkled brows with her fingers, and said with a smile: "You little girl, why are you worrying about it? She's not your daughter, so it's not your turn to take care of her." her life."

"Of course I can let it go, but I feel sorry for you!" Qi Huan rolled his eyes and started joking with her, "You don't appreciate me, do you think I'm meddling?"

Of course, Yang knew that she was taking such painstaking efforts to get involved in these matters to solve her own problems and lighten her burden.

"I know!" She laughed, "But you don't have to worry about the follow-up of this matter, and there will be no big trouble."

Qi Huan blinked, suddenly aroused a bit of interest, and asked eagerly: "Why do you have already made plans?"

"No!" Yang said, "I'm too lazy to care."

Qi Huan was confused by her, and his brows could not help but frown.

So Yang stopped teasing her, picked up the needle and thread again, and said leisurely while doing it: "Let's wait for the people who went to Luzhou to come back, and deal with the matter with the Ling family. As for the aftermath of arranging your little aunt ...When the time comes, I will ask your father to talk to the second bedroom and tell them to find a way to find a suitable family and marry her far away."

Qi Huan thought about it seriously for a moment, and then he slapped his forehead suddenly: "Yes. My father has no ambitions anyway, and everything is safe after inheriting this title, but the second uncle still has to be in the officialdom, and needs to be stabilized. The back house, establish a reputation, whether it's the old woman or Qi Wenheng's moth... the second room is more anxious than us. In the future, we can push things to them, and they will be the first to rush to put out the fire in a hurry! "

The second room and the couple are both smart people, seeing that the situation is over, now they have given up their thoughts of fighting against the eldest room, and they are still counting on continuing to hold on to the Hou's mansion, so that they can enjoy the shade under the big tree.

But the rift between the two families has already been established before, but it is impossible to live together forever, and they only need to separate after the service is eliminated.

After Qi Wenang went out to live alone, there was only one official position left that was actually his own, so he was more afraid of being implicated than anyone else if Yu Shi and Qi Wenheng did anything to damage their reputations!

Yang gave her daughter an angry look: "What can I say about your father!"

Although this is indeed true, in this environment where filial piety is valued, it is pure treason for a daughter to expose her father's faults like this.

Qi Huan laughed dryly, covering up knowingly that he was wrong.

Two days later, the person who went to Ling Zhicheng's hometown to inquire about news came back with him.

The family sat together again to listen to the news.

This time, Qi Wenjing ordered people to invite Qi Wenyan, Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenxian together.

Qi Wenheng's quarrels and separations would involve them more or less. Even if they can't make decisions, at least we should communicate with them so that they know what to do.

After all the people arrived, Qi Wenxian looked around and couldn't help wondering: "I heard that the third younger sister also came back to the capital a few days ago. The elder brother called us here today to discuss something important. Why...she hasn't arrived yet?" ? Why don't you ask someone to rush you?"

Qi Wenjing said: "It's because I didn't call her, lest she come over and cause trouble."

As soon as this remark came out, Qi Wenjing also realized that the atmosphere was not right.

She couldn't help but looked left and right——

Both Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenang's faces were as deep as water, and each of them became uglier than the other. Only Qi Wenyan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, calmly drinking tea while leaning against the back of his chair.

When everyone was here, Qi Wenjing stopped playing tricks: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the little girl suddenly returned to Beijing. You should have heard about it. She went out and came back because of something. She had a falling out with Ling Zhicheng. Ling Zhicheng The sincere letter of divorce was also sent to my hands."

Qi Wenxian was the one with the least confidence and status in the family, upon hearing this, her face turned pale with horror.

"This won't work!" She stood up abruptly, expressing her opinion eagerly.

Qi Wenjing was unmoved: "Sit down first, you are not the only one involved in this matter, I called you here today to talk about this matter, first listen to the ins and outs, and you will have a chance to speak later."

Qi Wenxian has already become an ant on a hot pot.

Her husband's family background is not deep and the status is not high, and she has both sons and daughters, and she has kept the filial piety period for her father-in-law for three years. Now even if the old Marquis Qi Zhengyu is gone, she is still backed by the Marquis of Changning, and Qi Wenheng is divorced. She won't be able to be abandoned if she is implicated, but she will definitely be affected, and she will be made things difficult by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she will be looked down upon.

She looked left and right, hoping that someone could help her to talk with her.

but--

The three brothers are men, so they can't empathize with her situation. The eldest sister, Qi Wenjing, is very stable, with a calm expression on her face, without saying a word.

In such a situation, Qi Wenxian knew that people were soft-spoken, so she didn't dare to speak again, so she could only hold back for the time being.

Qi Wenjing continued: "According to what Wen Heng said, Ling Zhicheng cheated the world, behind her back, and behind our Qi family's back. In these years, not only Jinwu Zangjiao but also gave birth to several children. After being caught by her, not only did he not want to repent, but also The Qi family has given us a divorce letter. The person I sent to Luzhou has not yet returned, but the person I sent to Ling Zhicheng's hometown to inquire about the news has returned first, and found out some hidden inside stories, so I ask you to come and listen together. "

He gave his entourage a wink.

Then the relative came forward, first bowed to the masters and greeted them, and then said truthfully: "The youngest was appointed by the Marquis to go to the ancestral home of the third uncle. His family has fallen, his parents have died, and he has no one to rely on. Really, but there is another thing that our family never knew—that is, the third uncle married in the countryside before he came to Beijing."

As soon as this statement came out, among the three men present, two of them had no further emotional fluctuations because they already knew the inside story, and the other Qi Wenyan was really completely unmoved and had nothing to do with him.

Qi Wenjing frowned slightly.

Qi Wenxian almost couldn't sit still again: "What?"

She didn't turn her head around for a while, and began to piece together information as best she could.

The follower continued: "Not only that, even two months before he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, his first wife in the country gave birth to a son for him. Their village is remote and there is no news. People in the village didn't know that he had made a fortune and became an official. Instead, it was rumored that he was disheartened and ashamed to return to his hometown because Chunwei failed the ranking. Then he took his wife and children away. "

At this time, Qi Wenxian's whole head has become a mess, and she can't follow the ins and outs of the whole process.

Qi Wenjing, on the other hand, had a clear mind and said to the point: "So at the beginning, big brother, you said that Ling Zhicheng hides a baby and raises a son, and what you hide is his original spouse, and the son who was born a long time ago?"

"The people who went to Luzhou haven't returned yet, so I don't want to jump to conclusions, but according to the age of Ling Zhicheng's eldest son that Wen Heng said when he came back, it should be conclusive, that's what happened." The stack of old papers was pushed forward: "This is Ling Zhicheng's old marriage certificate when he got married in the countryside, and the confessions made by Li Zheng, neighbors and others who had drunk his wedding wine and witnessed him."

The brothers and sisters of the whole family looked at the pile of things and looked at each other in blank dismay, no one was of any use.

Qi Wenjing continued: "Before I asked you to come here, I have already discussed with the second child. If this matter is true, there is absolutely no reason for our dignified Changning Marquis Mansion to be bullied and used by a shabby settled household from a remote area. I will send someone to Luzhou , let Ling Zhicheng re-sign and leave the book. Wen Heng is really wrong, he said that Wen Heng is not good or kind, we admit it, but how much money he has borrowed from our Qi family over the years, and what kind of benefits and support he has received, these are also Can’t forget it, what do you say?”

Ling Zhicheng was very poor back then, but because of his good writing, he was picked by Qi Zhengyu as his son-in-law at a glance. Afterwards, he not only helped him with his official relationship and his career, but also paid for the house they lived in and most of the expenses after marriage. It was Qi Wenheng's dowry.

As for himself—

The official got promoted and couldn't get promoted. Qi Wenhang didn't think much of his little salary, so he probably just gave it to him to support his original wife and children.

It's not that the girl from Changning Hou's mansion cannot marry without him. Even if she is picked by her father, you have already married a wife and have children. Tell the truth, no one can't help but him.

That's good...

The hand he played was really disgusting.

Qi Wenyan still had nothing to do with himself and just drank tea.

He has never been interested in these trivial matters of the Qi family.

The two sisters Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenxian looked at each other.

Qi Wenjing nodded resolutely: "Indeed, although this matter is very embarrassing, if you swallow your breath and hold your breath, you will not only be aggrieved, but if some news leaks someday, knowing that we were cheated by a shabby hukou to cheat our daughter If you don't dare to say a word, you will be really ashamed and thrown home."

For her little selfishness, Qi Wenxian instinctively refused to make things big.

At this time, she was blocked by the eldest sister's reasoning, she just tentatively whispered: "Brother, are you going to expose this matter directly, are you making a big fuss?"

Before Qi Wenjing could speak, Qi Wenyan, who had been watching coldly, suddenly said, "Concealing marriage history, defrauding the lord's daughter, defrauding money and people...According to the law, you should be sentenced to exile. There is no need to make trouble. If you are deceived, you will be punished." You must have been cheated, but you have to spit out everything you eat. Isn’t this waste deeply affectionate with his original spouse and will never leave, so let the whole family go together.”

After finishing speaking lightly, he looked at Qi Wenjing again, and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile: "It's easy to settle accounts outside, but the hardest thing is at home. Some people won't gain wisdom even if they suffer, brother, you'd better Spend some time studying how to arrange the one in our own house, this kind of mess, do you still want to clean it up often?"

Qi Wenheng is a stubborn person, if it weren't for her surname Qi, no one would care about her at all!
It is because she is too inconspicuous and unreliable, so today it was her business that was discussed, but Qi Wenjing left her alone, because he knew that even if she came, she would not have the slightest idea, but instead messed around and made trouble. Hold back.

When Qi Wenyan opened his mouth, Qi Wenxian shut her mouth firmly, not daring to have any opinion, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The aura of my third brother is really cold and strong, sitting in the same room, he has a kind of majesty that people dare not look directly at——

Obviously both of them are concubines, people who have worked their way up and down from the bottom of the Qi family for many years, but invisibly and forcibly split into people who exist in two different worlds!
Qi Huan, Yang Shi, and Cen Shi did not attend this family meeting.

After a preliminary discussion, everyone dispersed. What to do, we have to wait for the people who went to Luzhou to come back.

Everyone waited patiently for a few more days, and Guan Yusheng, Luo Zhang and his party finally rushed back.

The two entered the city in the evening, and when they came back, they immediately returned to Qi Wenjing's life.

At that time, Dafang's family had just finished dinner in Yang's house, and Qi Wenjing was watching his son do his homework, and didn't want to go to the front yard, so he simply called them to the backyard to answer.

Guan Yusheng first presented the signed and divorce letter.

Qi Wenjing roughly glanced at it and was sure there was no problem, so he asked seriously, "What's the situation over there?"

Guan Yusheng cupped his hands: "The young one, according to Master Hou's order, disguised his identity and left Beijing in a low-key manner and rushed over. The third aunt... Mr. Ling, probably thinks that the shameful thing about our aunt being divorced is that the family does not dare to speak up What's more, he is quite at ease there, leading his women and children to live a leisurely life. The little one asked the neighbors around, and the four of them were accompanied by Lord Ling when he took office, because the woman She lives in seclusion, so almost no one knows her, but everyone thinks that she is a family member of Lord Ling. Later last year, the third aunt lived there for a while, and the local people didn't know why, so they still thought that the third aunt was that woman, and they have been confused for a long time. gone."

The Emperor Shan Gao is far away, and Ling Zhicheng, a sixth-rank official, is a high-ranking official in the local area, and everyone admires him, but he is considered a small official in the entire court. It was no coincidence that he was able to find a needle in a haystack, and he happened to find out the privacy of this Master Ling from the capital where the rich and powerful officials gathered.

even--

Even if a few people really listened to a few gossips and passed them on in private, just for fun, who would treat it as a major case and insist on asking the bottom line to find out?
Qi Wenjing pondered for a moment: "They have three children?"

Guan Yusheng said: "Two men and one woman. It is indeed as my aunt said. The eldest son is two years older than the eldest daughter of the Ling family. He is seventeen years old this year. The other two are younger. The daughter is ten years old and the son is six years old."

Qi Huan vaguely judged some information from these words, his face darkened, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there anything else?"

Guan Yusheng was really considerate and reliable, and quickly replied: "Yes! I thought that since I went there, I would not make an empty trip, so on the way back, I detoured with Luo Zhang and went to the two offices in front of Master Ling. The governor of Jizhou also inquired about the news, and it is said that during the six years he was there, he brought his youngest son, the present woman and child, and the youngest son was born in Jizhou."

"Too much deceit!" Qi Wenjing couldn't hold back no matter how good-tempered he was, dropped a teacup, and cursed angrily, "You bastard!"

But Qi Huan got it right, and asked another question that made the Qi family even more embarrassing: "When he was in office, he was a high-ranking emperor, and his little aunt was pampered, and she refused to let him go, but my father... His ten-year-old daughter should have been born under our noses during his stay in Beijing!"
