A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 72 Seeing Gu Shizi Again (Part [-])

Chapter 072
Qi Yuanming was so confused that he almost failed to take the exam. Even if he reluctantly went, his physical discomfort would definitely affect his performance to a certain extent.

This is a big deal for Erfang.

Presumably not only the Cen family, but even Qi Wenang would be furious if he knew about it.

However, every family sweeps the snow in front of their own doors...

who cares!
Yang said: "Unless they can produce ironclad evidence that this matter has something to do with our yard, otherwise...if they want to question the teacher, they will not be able to question me, and you don't have to pay attention to it."

As for the excuse of taking her housekeeping power as punishment?If Mrs. Cen dared to accept it, she would not have excused herself last night!
These days, Qi Huan has been secretly observing.

The mother-in-laws Yang and Yu have clashed several times, but she and the second room have always been in harmony with each other, and the second room has kept to themselves. After more than a month, there was not even the slightest dispute. back.

But Qi Huan always remembered what she said from Yun Xi when she first came here.

Yun Xi said at the time that Mother Jin and the others reminded them in private to be more careful about the second room, and to be careful not to let Qi Huan and Qi Xin of the second room get too close.

But after these days, Qi Huan has his own judgment and inference in his heart.

She fiddled with a few delicate cups on the tea tray with her fingers as if bored, and said in a casual tone: "Mother, in fact, father is the eldest son of grandfather, and he has already submitted to the court and received the title of eldest son, but grandfather... Don't you think he thinks too much of his second uncle, and his father and son are too close?"

Every day they go out together to go to court, and they inform each other whether they have dinner parties in the evening.

And Qi Huan knew——

Qi Wenang was often called to the study by Qi Zhengyu to help him make suggestions on official affairs, or discuss government affairs together and exchange opinions.

While talking, Qi Huan paid attention to Yang's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, Yang suddenly paused while holding the cup that was already brought to his lips.

Even though she concealed it very well, she continued to drink water as if nothing had happened, and said casually: "Both of them are on business in the palace, and the yamen is very close."

Qi Huan didn't stop there, and continued to play tricks: "Yeah, the second uncle is in charge of a real power official, and my father is just a man who writes sacrificial rites and runs errands during the festivals. Second uncle has government affairs to discuss, so he needs With the guidance and support of my grandfather, my father leads an insignificant job, so it's just dawdling anyway."

Her words sounded like she was casually complaining about Qi Zhengyu's unfair attitude towards her two sons, and her expression was really just that of a little girl whining casually, but——

Yang just felt that there was something in her beating around the bush again.

Since she suffered a loss on Zhuangzi at the beginning of last month, Yang found that her daughter's temper has become more rigid recently, and she always likes to think about things with her, and her vision of looking at many things has become quite sharp.

She was vigilant in her heart, she didn't dare to think that Qi Huan was just complaining, and asked instead: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Qi Huan finally raised his eyes again.

Two mothers and daughters face each other.

The corners of the girl's lips still had a soft, nonchalant smile line, and what she said seemed to be a joke: "I just think, maybe from the grandfather's point of view, he would think that the second uncle is more suitable to inherit this The mansion and the Qi family business."

Yang's face suddenly changed, and the water glass in his hand trembled slightly.

Looking at her expression, Qi Huan realized that he was not the first to realize this.

Therefore, her expression gradually became serious: "Mother, you also found out, didn't you?"

Yang's lips trembled slightly.

Including the emperor's throne, the family inheritance has always been passed down from generation to generation.

Although this is an unwritten rule, if anyone does not abide by this rule——

The emperor will be pressured and besieged by the courtiers, and the officials will definitely be impeached by the officials. Even ordinary people’s family property inheritance does not follow this rule, and the descendants of the direct line often sue the government to ask the court to uphold justice. .

Besides—

Qi Wenjing's identity as the heir to the Marquis Mansion was reported to and approved by the late emperor.

Qi Huan suddenly opened up the matter and talked about it, which made Yang Shi tremble with fear.

Knowing that the door was closed, she instinctively glanced over to confirm it, and then changed her normal routine, and sternly warned her daughter: "You can't say this again, it's just the two people who are closest to you in the room. The girl is not allowed to say, you know?"

Qi Huan, a little girl, can come out, but she has been the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion for twenty years, what can't she understand?
Qi Huan didn't answer, but looked at her with clear eyes and a calm expression.

Yang finally got a little anxious.

She opened and closed her lips a few times, and finally got up to avoid it, and said in a cold voice: "Don't think about it, this matter has been reported to the court, your father is the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning, and it will naturally happen in the future." Inherit the family business as a matter of course. Even if your grandfather regrets... this matter can only be so, and there will be no change."

Qi Huan still sat still.

In fact, Yang's confidence is not enough, and she doesn't need to poke anything.

She must have been in the Qi family for so many years, and she was completely unsure of where the bottom line of Qi Zhengyu was.

Qi Huan didn't want to live a life of deceiving herself and others, and she didn't want Yang to carry everything in her heart.

In the end, it was she who stood up first, walked around in front of Yang, and broke the deadlock again: "I'm just talking about this possibility. Mother, it's like grandma has been giving unrealistic hopes to Aunt Yu, mother and child. Grandfather like this Attitude, don't you think it's dangerous? His blatant preference for Second Uncle... even if he doesn't say anything clearly, Second Uncle won't have other thoughts in his heart?"

Yu's selfishness and wishful thinking are well known to all.

She just wanted Qi Wenjing's eldest son, Qi Yuanxu, who came out of Aunt Yu's womb, to inherit the family business so that he could inherit the Marquis Mansion.

But in this family, Mrs. Yu can't help being the master at all, so Mrs. Yu has acted like a clown all these years, and it's okay for everyone to see the jokes.

especially--

Now with Qi Yuanchen, Qi Wenjing has a son born to him by his first wife!
There is no reason for his mantle to be passed on to the bastard.

but--

Many people ignore another threat that exists in this home.

The premise of Mrs. Yu's wishful thinking is that Qi Wenjing, the eldest son, can inherit the title in a logical manner in the future, but if the title is inherited, what will be the first problem in this link?

And it's not like Yang never thought about these things.

Qi Huan walked up to her and told her that it was inevitable.

There was a clear look of struggle in her eyes, but she was still trying to round out this possibility: "So what if he has thoughts in his heart? This matter can only be concluded in this way."

Unless Qi Wenjing made some serious mistake and asked the emperor to order his heir to be taken captive.

But then again, under the law that whoever does something wrong will implicate the nine clans, if Qi Wenjing really does something that will anger the emperor and take his title away...

Even if it is, the rest of the Qi family don't have to worry about title ownership anymore.

Because, this title was probably taken back directly.

But Mrs. Yang refused to face it, but did not rule out another possibility——

What if Qi Wenjing disappeared before he took over the throne?

Qi Huan wasn't sure if Qi Zhengyu would be cruel to another son he didn't like in order to fulfill a son he valued highly, but Dr. Hu's words reminded her...

She still did not evade, and faced Yang: "Yes, the position of father's son was hand-picked by the first emperor, maybe there is nothing to change, but mother, now that you have brother Chen, we stand in the way of others yes, did you know?"

Yang's face turned pale, and he staggered directly under his feet.

Fortunately, Qi Huan was prepared and quickly supported her.

She helped Yang Shi to the table, sat down again, and poured water for her again.

Yang clung to her hand tightly in panic, and said in a fluffy voice, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Did you hear something in private again?"

Because Qi Yuanchen is still young, she has too many things to worry about, and she really hasn't had time to think so far ahead.

When Qi Huan mentioned it now, it really made her panic.

Qi Huan's fingertips hurt a little from being grabbed by her, but he still didn't change his face: "That's not true, it's just that something happened suddenly tonight, which made me feel a little uneasy, so I couldn't help but think about it. We live in peace, but this time the second brother's accident seems to have opened a hole... So mother, even if we have a clear conscience, we must handle this matter carefully, try to stabilize the second room for the time being, and don't conflict with them. "

Yang pressed her chest with one hand and kept pressing to relieve the discomfort of palpitation and shortness of breath.

But as if in response to Qi Huan's words, Lady Yun knocked on the door outside: "Ma'am, miss, are you resting? The second lady and the third lady are here."

These eight accomplishments are for Xingshi to inquire about the crimes and explain the truth.

Yang Shi took a deep breath, and was about to pull herself together to deal with it, but Qi Huan forcefully pushed her back on the stool.

She kept silent, shook her head at Mrs. Yang, and then shouted outside in a panic: "Aunt Yun, hurry up, call for a doctor, mother seems to be not well..."

Lady Yun hurriedly opened the door and came in.

Sure enough, Cen Shi and Qi Xin were standing outside the door.

Her mother and daughter should have just returned from the Gongyuan, and they were still wearing the cloaks they wore when they went out, so they really didn't delay for a moment.

Yang's sick appearance is real.

Her reaction was also very fast, realizing that Qi Huan was telling her to pretend to be sick, and it happened that her mind was in a mess at the moment, and she couldn't get up the energy to deal with other things, so she simply used her plan, pressing her chest with one hand and holding the table with the other , looking very painful.

Cen couldn't just sit idly by, and immediately told Qi Xin: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and ask someone to go to the front yard and call Dr. Chen over."

She herself followed in to help, and together they helped Yang Shi to lie down on the couch.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Cen didn't suspect that Yang's illness was fake.

Because she also had this kind of time before, sometimes she was overworked, or when she encountered something, she was very angry, so she often had to stay behind closed doors to recuperate for a few days.

Qi Huan worriedly held Yang's hand all the time: "I haven't found out what's going on in the Second Court, and I've been out for a long time and worked hard... I don't know how she suddenly behaved like this."

As she spoke, she looked at Cen in a panic: "Second Aunt, my mother should be fine, right?"

What can Cen say?Naturally, he comforted her with good words.

Everyone in the room was in a hurry, but fortunately Dr. Chen came in time to check the pulse and make medicine. After Yang took the medicine, his symptoms stabilized and he rested, he was already in full swing.

It's not easy for Cen to mention Xingshi's questioning and explaining, so he can only take his daughter and leave first.

When the mother and daughter came out of Qixia Garden, she still looked normal, but when she entered her own yard, her face immediately turned ugly: "It's really time for her to be sick!"

Mother Xu comforted her from the side: "She used to be in poor health. She suffered from the miscarriage of her first child back then, but she insisted on desperately giving birth to two more. Now, it's just a waste of time lighting a lamp and cooking oil. I'll be sick at five o'clock."

In fact, if Mrs. Yang wasn't so strong, she would not have dragged her body down if she took care of her with peace of mind.

As Cen is also a woman, it's not that she has no empathy at all, but it's a pity——

The way is different, Yang Shi even blocked her way, how could she really feel the sympathy for her.

Last night, Qi Wenang didn't return until after midnight, and he also watched over his son until the mother and daughter of Cen sent him to the Gongyuan. Because he had to get up early today to go to court, he went back to his room and slept for two hours.

Cen's mother and daughter came back at this time, and the others had already left long ago.

Qi Xin didn't talk much all the time, silently followed her mother back to the room.

Cen ordered people to prepare breakfast.

Qi Xin sat next to her, fingering a string of purple jade Buddha beads on her wrist for a long time, and finally recovered from the state of trance, and asked Cen seriously: "Mom, when I come home this time, why do you think that big sister's temper is so bad?" Has it changed a lot?"

Cen was stunned.

But then, she quickly caught up with the train of thought, and said a little annoyedly: "That's because she used to be bored in the house all the time, and you didn't like to go there, and you didn't get in touch with it much. The son of a mouse can make holes. She is so shrewd." Powerful mother, how could she be a fool under precepts and deeds?"

Qi Huan's changes were indeed a bit big, but what they saw most was her condition.

In the past, Qi Huan had been recuperating in the house all the time, never coming out to meet people, and everyone had little contact with her. What kind of character and temper is she...

Others are really only half-informed.

Although Qi Xin was puzzled, Cen's explanation made sense, and after thinking about it for a while, she stopped being persistent.

Yang's said she was pretending to be ill, but in fact she was really exhausted these days, and she had buried a lot of hidden dangers.

Ever since Qi Yuanchen got sick and Qi Huan had another accident, she wasn't always fine, it's just that the two children had been fine. She was busy fighting fires everywhere, so she didn't dare to get sick at all, relying on her amazing willpower to support herself.

Now that he found a gap, he was defeated in one blow, and fell into a coma after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Chen.

Qi Huan watched over her for a while, and spent some time coaxing Qi Yuanchen, and after eating with him, he handed it to Mother Liu to take, and then went back to Chunyu Zhai in time.

Yun Xi hurriedly ran into the back room to make the bed, but Qi Huan only washed himself to wake up, and then asked Mama Jin for questioning.

She asked Mama Jin for the empty medicine pack she found in the kitchen last night, then changed into plain clothes that were not very conspicuous, and asked Lao Jing to prepare a car and go out.

"At this time, how about going out?" Xing Luo was very worried, "What is Miss going to do, should I go as a servant?"

Qi Huan said: "I promised my cousin that if we want to find out the truth and restore everyone's innocence, we must not break our promise. Since the only clue in this matter points to Caidiexuan, let's go to Caidiexuan to try our luck. That house The things here are not cheap, and a shop like this usually has particularly detailed shipping accounts."

"But this kind of account, at most, can only write what kind of rouge and gouache was produced on a certain day. Is it possible to record who bought it?" Xing Luo felt that this was a useless effort.

Qi Huan was actually sleepy and tired, not very energetic to speak.

But in order to refresh herself, she deliberately let herself talk more to keep her head clear, and said with a smile: "Who do you think people usually buy rouge and gouache?"

"Who? Big girl? Young wife? Or is it the accountant who is in charge of purchasing from some wealthy family?" Xing Luo didn't think about it.

There was no one around, Qi Huan stretched his waist and yawned: "Yeah, they should all be big girls and young wives, but if some young master buys them for a good friend... in one place, they are all big girls and young wives." In the rouge shop, will the shopkeeper and the staff be impressed?"

Xing Luo's first reaction was that it was inappropriate for his young lady to make such a joke, and his brows were tightened all of a sudden.

Then when he realized it, he was so startled that he almost cried out, covered his mouth and said in a low voice like a thief: "Miss, don't you suspect that it's the eldest son or the second son?"

Qi Huan glanced at her, but smiled silently.

She took Xing Luo into the car, ordered four more guards to accompany her, and went out.

As for why he threw Yunxi away to watch the door at home——

The girl was always slow to react, and took her out to do important things, fearing that she would lose the chain.

In the carriage, Qi Huan never idled for a moment, repeatedly integrating various clues in his mind, looking for clues.

Because of her previous remarks, Xing Luo was not in a good mood, and was always nervous, staring at her.

When they arrived at the place, Qi Huan asked Lao Jing to park the carriage at the street corner, and she led Xing Luo to find the Yanzhi shop on foot, but she ran into a steamed stuffed bun shop before taking two steps. Xing Luo's stomach growled loudly, and she was embarrassed on the spot flushed.

It was only then that Qi Huan realized that she had been tossing around with Jin's mother all night, and she probably hadn't spared time for dinner.

It's almost noon...

"I'm not in a hurry, let's go in, and I'll take you to eat first." Qi Huan smiled, led Xing Luo into the store, and found a seat near the inside to sit down.

This restaurant steamed big northern buns. She ordered two buns and two bowls of noodle soup.

Although Xing Luo felt that it was not good to sit at the same table with her, he was not very reserved in private when he was away from home.

After Qi Huan had eaten breakfast with Qi Yuanchen at home, he divided the noodles into more than half of Xing Luo.

The master and the servant had enough to fill their stomachs, Qi Huan led her out, and went to the counter to pay the boss with his purse in a logical manner.

While counting the copper coins, Xing Luo, who was standing behind her, poked her finger in the waist...

Qi Huan turned his head suspiciously, and saw that Gu Zhan brought a few people into the shop and sat down.

Qi Huan didn't sleep all night, and her head was a bit weak. She even stared at Gu Zhan for a long time before slowly reacting——

This Caidie Pavilion seems to be near the Gongyuan?

　Originally, I wanted to stop at 4k characters, and leave a thousand manuscripts...Forget it after thinking about it, let you continue to see Gu Shizi-_-||
