A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Wei Feng immediately re-planned the itinerary and informed Lao Jing to change the route.

Qi Huan closed the window and retreated into the carriage.

But Xing Luo was stunned for a while before muttering: "Miss, why did you suddenly think of him again? If you don't mention it, the servants will almost forget that there is such a family."

Qi Huan smiled, and the corners of his lips raised a deliberate arc: "Everything must have a beginning and an end. The debt owed by their mother and son is far from being paid off, so we can't just let it go."

Going to the gate of Yang Chenglian's mansion, the master and servant got out of the car.

Looking at the Yang mansion that is now neglected, Xing Luo couldn't help but feel emotional again: "It is said that the trees fell and the monkeys scattered. Since the downfall of Concubine Wen in the palace and that Master Yang was dismissed from his position and kicked out of the officialdom, all the events before and after It's only been more than a year since it was full of fights and calculations, and the front of the Yang Mansion is much more depressed."

Qi Huan just smiled and gave Wei Feng a wink: "Knock on the door and go."

Wei Feng went to knock on the door.

It's the end of the year, and every household is bustling with shopping for new year's goods, welcoming new year's gifts, exchanging favors, and preparing for the new year's day, but this Yang's mansion has its doors closed, which is out of tune with the bustle outside this street , as if people from two worlds.

Wei Feng knocked on the door, the boy at the door of his house yawned, and after a while he mumbled impatiently and came over to open the door: "Who is it..."

He still recognized Qi Huan, it was obvious that he was just taking a nap because he had nothing to do, when he saw Qi Huan——

Immediately, it was like facing a big enemy, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

This little aunt visited his house a few times last year, and every time she came back, there was going to be a whirlwind in the house.

"You..." The boy's scalp was numb, and he restrained himself subconsciously, his whole body was not well, "Miss Qi, this is..."

"Remember me?" Qi Huan said with a smile, and walked straight in as if there was no one else around, "That's good. I happened to pass by the neighborhood when I was out on business, and I was an old acquaintance with your family. I thought it would be Chinese New Year soon, so I stopped by." Visit your adults and say a few words."

The servant instinctively took a step forward and wanted to reach out to stop her, but Wei Feng carried her back to the door first.

Seeing that I can't stop it, I don't dare to act rashly...

The little servant couldn't do it either, and after breaking free, he hurriedly said: "Or can you wait first? I don't know exactly where the masters in the backyard are right now, so ask someone to pass it on for you?"

Qi Huan didn't stop on his feet, he still walked in directly: "It's not the first time I've come here, I know the way to Lixiangyuan, I just go there by myself."

She walked forward calmly, the servant had no choice but to turn around and run away to find the housekeeper.

Qi Huan led Wei Feng all the way into a no-man's land and entered the backyard garden. Although he did walk the way to Lixiangyuan, he stopped when he got there.

Strolling nearby, after waiting for a short time, I saw Yang Chenglian, accompanied by the housekeeper, hurrying towards here from the direction of Lixiangyuan.

I haven't seen him for a year, and his face has completely lost the majesty of the superior and the vigor of the officialdom. The old and decadent look is very obvious, and he is a bad old man.

Apparently—

After getting the report from the steward, he rushed to Lixiangyuan from another road, and found that Qi Huan was not there, so he followed the road to look for him.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

Seeing Qi Huan, the hatred in Yang Chenglian's eyes seemed to overflow, and he glared at her viciously.

"Master Yang, don't come here without any harm." Qi Huan preemptively spoke first.

Now that Yang Chenglian has lost power and power, he is far less stubborn than he was back then. For no reason, she choked on her, and then said in a strong and cold voice: "What are you doing here again?"

He originally wanted to ask "Did you come to see our family's jokes?", but fortunately, when the words came to his lips, he stopped in time when he realized it, thus avoiding the embarrassment of self-inflicted humiliation.

However, in front of him, Qi Huan didn't know what was enough.

"Why bother to ask knowingly, I can't come here to say hello to the new year with good intentions. There are many trivial matters in front of me, and I didn't take care of you. It's been more than a year, and the New Year is approaching. Let's take a look at the jokes between your mother and son. I see Boss Yang People are old now, and the family is cold, it must be that life is not going well, then I can rest assured and happy that I can live a happy new year." She smiled lightly.

Knowing that she was here to find fault and make trouble, although the words were harsh and infuriating, Yang Chenglian was smoking at the same time...

But there was really nothing he could do with her.

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, his chest heaved violently, he stared at the girl in front of him viciously, and remained silent for a while.

Knowing that the visitor is not kind, now he just talks too much and makes mistakes, and he can't touch her at all...

All he could do was swallow his anger and leave when she had had enough trouble.

anyway -

In this capital city, at the feet of the emperor, no matter how much this girl hates their mother and son, there is nothing she can do to stop her, just to have fun and make trouble with her tongue.

Qi Huan didn't make a fuss, but when he swallowed his anger and acted like I couldn't get used to you and couldn't get rid of you, he laughed again: "Okay, I've seen the joke I should read, then I'll go first, I'll come back next year."

After speaking, he actually turned around and left.

Yang Chenglian didn't expect that her visit would be so thunderous and rainy?

This is not in line with the usual style of this dead girl!

When he was surprised and puzzled, Qi Huan took two steps but suddenly turned around: "Oh, yes, there is one more thing."

really……

Yang Chenglian quickly cheered up again.

Qi Huan was still calm, and said calmly: "I have some good news to tell you by the way. Your former Mrs. Jiang married a wealthy country gentleman after leaving Beijing last year. The good news came recently. It is said that you can get a boy in one fell swoop, and you just gave birth to a fat boy in the first half month, and now you are considered happy. When you are a husband and wife, there should be some affection between you and Mrs. Yang. I really hope that my former family can live well, and you can rest assured of her."

After saying that, completely ignoring Yang Chenglian's flushed face, Shi Shiran turned around and left.

After a while, I heard a violent cough erupting from behind.

"Master!" The butler whispered and supported him.

Afterwards, Yang Chenglian began to cough earth-shatteringly and heart-piercingly, out of control.

While supporting him, the butler panickedly shouted for help.

Qi Huan didn't stay to watch his joke, and just left on his own.

The housekeeper didn't bother to take care of her, he only thought she would leave on her own, but Qi Huan stopped a passing maidservant after halfway, "Where does Miss Pan'er of yours live? Please show me the way, I have something to do." Find her."

The eldest lady of the Changning Hou Mansion came to the house several times last year. Although she always entered the house in a low-key way, every time she left, the house was very sensational, so——

Qi Huan is quite famous in the Yang Mansion.

This little servant girl recognized her and was also afraid of her from the bottom of her heart, so she quickly led her the way without saying a word.

Yang Chenglian's family has many aunts and housemaids, and there are several unmarried concubine daughters, but Yang Pan'er, as the only concubine girl in the boudoir, is the only one among these people who has a separate courtyard to live in.

When the little maid led Qi Huan over, she was sitting in the yard making tea and admiring the plum blossoms taking advantage of the fine weather.

Since her grandmother and father at home are moody now, she keeps a low profile, alone, and doesn't call any friendly sisters over for company.

The scent of tea in the yard is wafting, and a cluster of red plums is in full bloom on the branch above her head. She is wearing a crimson cloak and sitting between the red plums and white snow...

Even though the appearance is mediocre and not stunning, the whole picture complements each other, and the artistic conception is very good and beautiful.

However, Yang Pan'er was always frowning, looking depressed and frowning.

"Miss Eight, there is a visitor." The servant girl reported in a low voice.

Yang Pan'er's thoughts were interrupted, according to Xun Sheng, when she saw Qi Huan, who was wearing plain clothes but had a face as gorgeous as peaches and plums, she had a terrified expression on her face.

At the same time, the cup of new tea in his hand also fell on the skirt.

The teacup used for making and tasting tea was very small, and with the thick clothes she wore in winter, she never got burned.

"Miss!" The little girl who brought Qi Huan and the big girl in Yang Pan'er's room heard the movement and ran over together, pulled her up and wiped the water stains on her body with a handkerchief, and the big girl asked: " Miss, are you hot?"

Yang Pan'er felt extremely embarrassed.

She didn't have any friendship with Qi Huan, and she knew that the other party's visitor was not kind, so she didn't dare to be hypocritical, and while fending off the two maids, she said softly: "I'm fine."

While speaking, his eyes kept looking at Qi Huan who was standing not far away.

Seeing this, the little servant girl who led the way also tactfully left: "The servant girl will leave first."

Turning around and leaving in a hurry, when passing by Qi Huan's master and servant, he couldn't help but look at Qi Huan more, then left in a hurry.

Yang Pan'er was flustered and just wanted to see off the guests, but in front of Qi Huan, her throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't speak a word.

"You can hide from the first day, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. Have you finished your hypocrisy?" Qi Huan watched her dawdling there, but he didn't have the patience to wait for her to sing in his heart, so he spoke in a bad tone.

Yang Pan'er bit her lip, with an extremely fragile and anxious expression on her face, and then said bravely: "It seems that there is no personal relationship between Miss Qi and I, you are looking for me..."

"Don't play tricks like tempting people and misleading people. If I really want to find your grandmother or father and tell them all about you, you won't even have time to cry." Qi Huan interrupted her coldly.

Seeing that Yang Pan'er's face turned pale, she walked up and down in front of him.

Yang Pan'er felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy, she instinctively retreated half a step, bit her lip even harder, and said defensively, "You..."

What Qi Huan couldn't understand most was her white lotus who was obviously full of bad things but didn't dare to show it to her face, and pretended to be weak and innocent when she met her.

She didn't have any thoughts of pity, and said bluntly: "There is indeed no friendship between you and me, but there are many festivals, such as the small things that you instigated Yu Feifei to target me in Fengming Palace, I don't bother to mention it. , but there is one other thing I have always wanted to confirm with you face to face..."

Because in the past, Qi Huan never asked her to settle accounts with Qiuhou after she played bad tricks in the past. Yang Pan'er always thought that she was doing a perfect job by luck, and the other party didn't find her black hand at all.

At this time, Qi Huan directly pierced the window paper, and her face turned pale and somewhat transparent in an instant.

Her lips moved, and she wanted to deny it, but her mood fluctuated too much, causing the old disease that was kicked out of her heart during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year to flare up. For a while, her heart hurt so badly that she could only hold on tightly. Clothes on the chest.

Qi Huan didn't intend to listen to her rebuttal, seeing her bent slightly, he continued to question in an orderly manner: "During King Ning's wedding banquet, you deliberately stepped on my skirt and tripped me, what were you thinking at that time?" ? Do you want me to be trampled to death by the chaotic escaping crowd? Or do you want the red-eyed assassin to kill me?"

Yang Pan'er was caught off guard by being exposed, and her heart contracted violently again.

She gritted her teeth, dodged her eyes, but forced her mouth to speak hard: "I don't know what you are talking about, you may be mistaken..."

She didn't tell anyone about this matter, even her personal servant girl was shocked and unbelievable when she heard it, and she was a little stupid.

Looking at her slender, kind and delicate master, what do you think...

It is also difficult to link her with the vicious people who are ruthless and calculating people's lives.

"You don't have to deny it!" Qi Huan interrupted her, "I didn't come to confront you. In fact, after the incident happened that day, I already asked someone to find you with the footprints you left on my skirt through my relationship in the palace. Your embroidered shoes have been compared and confirmed."

Yang Pan'er felt like being struck by lightning, and felt buzzing in his head.

The huge sense of crisis oppressed her, but made her ignore even the old disease that hurt her heart.

She could almost be said to be staring at Qi Huan in front of her in horror, wondering whether the other party was cheating on her with a hesitant expression.

Qi Huan naturally understood what she was thinking, and continued: "The reason why I haven't come to settle accounts with you is because I know that even if I take that shoe print and sue you to the empress, you will definitely deny it. At that time, it was panic, and the panic was not intentional as an excuse, denying that it was intentional."

Yang Pan'er's eyes continued to flicker, and under the irrefutable circumstances, in order to avoid making too many mistakes, she simply kept silent.

Qi Huan sighed slightly, and the next moment the expression on his face became infinitely stern, his eyes were as sharp as knives staring at her face, and he warned loudly and loudly: "I never suffer from being dumb. It's best to remember that the reason why I haven't moved you now is only because of limited evidence, and I can't move you officially, but what is written in this old enmity is a fatal disaster, you remember it for me Yes, one day... I will find a chance to deal with you, and then don't complain!"

At the end of the sentence, her expression could even be called fierce.

The water on the nearby stove was boiling, making the sound of bubbling.

Yang Pan'er's heart was beating more violently, and her legs went limp under her gaze——

The maid couldn't help her up, so she sat back on the stone bench again.

Qi Huan gave her a cold warning look at the end, then turned around with confidence and walked away.

Yang Pan'er clutched her chest, with a pale face, her heart ached, her whole body was cold, her heart shrank into a ball, and she herself wished she could shrink herself into a ball as much as possible, curled up hard, and resisted that kind of self-consciousness. And the cold that was born.

The eldest servant girl was watching from the side, and she was quite frightened by her appearance, "Miss, are you suffering from a heartache again? Slaves, please go and ask for a doctor?"

Yang Pan'er was still clear-headed, and quickly grabbed her wrist firmly, and said in a trembling voice: "Go after the maid who brought Qi Huan over just now, shut her mouth, and don't tell her to talk nonsense. "

The big servant girl was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she understood what she meant, and promised to do it quickly.

Yang Pan'er curled up her body vigorously, her whole body, from inside to outside, couldn't help shivering.

She can't let her family know that Qi Huan has looked for her, and she can't expose what she has done, otherwise, with her grandmother's domineering ruthlessness and her father's moody temper, they will all take their anger out on her and tear her apart!
Fortunately, the mansion is not what it used to be in the past year or so, and those two people are not too interested in asking about the various trivial matters below, there is still something to hide about this matter.

Can--

Qi Huan will not let her go!

Now she should be more or less concerned about her father's position as a first-rank official. After all, no matter how arrogant she is, Qi Huan can't openly beat up the officials.

Can--

Her father is getting older, and her physical condition is also deteriorating. Once her father is on the heels and the protective umbrella of the Yang family is gone, it will be easier for Qi Huan to bully her to death.

How to do?
In the midst of Yang Pan'er's constant fear, the wheel of history still advances steadily into the new year.

This year in the Qi family, the doors are closed to thank guests, it is quiet and peaceful.

But in the Kankan February of the new year, bad news came out of Yang's residence.

After noon that day, just as Qi Huan took a nap, Xing Luo brought news: "Miss, Luo Zhang just came here to send you a message. The Yang family... Yang Chenglian died."

At that time, Qi Huan was still hugging the quilt and sitting on the bed to wake up. When she heard that her enemy had died suddenly, she didn't seem to be emotionally fluctuating. She just rubbed her face and asked casually when she got out of bed and put on her shoes: "What's the matter?" Woolen cloth?"

Xing Luo was surprised——

Does my lady know that the old man is not dead?
This thought flashed, and she didn't make any guesses. She waited on Qi Huan to get dressed while replying: "The reason is that a concubine from Yang's mansion escaped privately last night, and the people in the mansion found that Yang Chenglian died in her room. Thinking that she was murdering her for money, she went to the government to sue her, but this concubine who escaped privately was arrested early this morning, and she complained in court that she was wronged, saying..."

As Xing Luo said, she blushed in embarrassment.

Taking a sneak peek at Qi Huan, she found it hard to speak, but seeing that Qi Huan had already gone to wash his face at the basin rack with a calm demeanor, she readjusted her mentality and continued: "She said that Yang Chenglian died suddenly during intercourse last night. She was on the bed, and there was no one else in the room at the time, she was worried that if someone died, she would not be able to explain clearly, and Ning would drag her to be buried with Yang Chenglian, so she just rolled her up and ran away."

After all, Yang Chenglian was over sixty years old, and one foot had already entered the coffin. Once this incident happened, it spread in the streets and alleys, causing an uproar, and the whole capital was watching the excitement.

Xing Luo said: "She said this when she was in court at the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and the news spread quickly. Afterwards, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion went to the Yang family to inquire, and the people of the Yang family confirmed that the old man looked like a man in the past two months. It's a bit of a madman wandering between the concubine's room and the house, just..."

Although she is one year older, Xingluo is still a little girl who is nearly sixteen years old. At this point, she is too embarrassed to say a word, and she can only comment vaguely: "In short, now This matter spread, and there was a lot of trouble. The old man of the Yang family, who was famous for a lifetime, was extremely shameful when he died in such a way. live……"

Xing Luo is very smart, as soon as the news of Yang Chenglian's death came, she guessed that it was related to Qi Huan's trip to Yang's house years ago.

Although it was Wei Feng who followed Qi Huan at that time and not her, there was a tacit understanding and tacit understanding between her and Qi Huan's master and servant.

The old man of the Yang family is dead, and my young lady has ended an old enemy without bloodshed.

Qi Huan wiped his face, he still had no reaction to Yang Chenglian's death, he just asked: "What about the Ning family?"

"It is said that he died in front of Jingzhao Mansion's popularity." Xing Luo said, "I haven't heard of anything else yet."

Qi Huan said: "Then you go and tell Wei Feng, ask him to send someone to keep an eye on the movement of Yang's family, this play is not over yet!"
