I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 65

"Dingbang is young and energetic, so why should the father deliberately make things difficult for him? If it hurts the relationship between father and son, how can you make your daughter feel at ease." Qu Lingxu looked at Qu Liancheng with sad and helpless eyes, and her lips moved She moved, as if she wanted to say something, but after struggling for a while, she still didn't speak.

Qu Liancheng has always been careful about people, how could such an obvious demeanor and behavior escape his eyes, and immediately asked, "Xu'er, what else do you want to say to Father?"

This daughter has been in the limelight recently, not only has she caught the eyes of the Queen Mother and Princess Anle, but even the Queen and the Prince are very fond of her, and she is thoughtful and intelligent, completely different from the timid look in his impression. , Qu Liancheng calmed down and sorted out all the recent things. He felt that blindly using force would not only make Qu Lingxu obedient, but also make her loathe herself even more, and even loathe the entire General's Mansion, so he chose a roundabout way. method.

Although eating a meal changed Qu Liancheng's view of Qu Lingxu a lot, but compared to Qu Fengyan who had been favored for many years, he obviously loved the latter more.

Qu Lingxu had guessed Qu Liancheng's thoughts a long time ago, but he didn't take it seriously. It was just acting. If the other party used his sincerity, she would not be able to feel at ease.

Qu Lingxu made so many preparations in order to let Qu Liancheng take the initiative to ask, so he said bluntly: "Dingbang is the only son under the father's knee, so naturally he has high hopes, but the eldest son is not the son of the first son, so it is inevitable that he will be criticized. .”

"Xu'er means..." What Qu Lingxu mentioned is not Qu Liancheng's heart disease. Originally, after the plague, Xu's family could be promoted to a flat wife, but the plan is not as fast as the change. In just one month , the other party made mistakes one after another, and the matter of Jin Fengping's wife was endlessly delayed, but Qu Lingxu did not expect that Qu Lingxu would take the initiative to mention it.

Seeing Qu Liancheng's expression, Qu Lingxu knew that he must think that he wanted to flatter Mrs. Xu, so he couldn't help but sneered. It seemed that her cheap father not only fought well, but also daydreamed well.

"My daughter knows that my father loves my second aunt, and I can't bear to let her be wronged. It's just that my aunt has committed serious mistakes one after another. She has already offended the empress dowager and Princess Anle. If you promote her at this time, it's not just to beat the empress dowager and princess. Face?" Qu Lingxu unceremoniously poured over a basin of cold water 'with hail', waking up Qu Liancheng's dream.

Reminded by Qu Lingxu, Qu Liancheng also realized that something was wrong. His handsome eyebrows frowned invisibly, and his tone became indifferent, "I know these things as my father, but if I don't join the Xu family As a flat wife, how can Dingbang become a legitimate son?"

Isn't that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?

Qu Lingxu did not show any shame because of Qu Liancheng's indifference, but asked back with a smile: "Father's words are wrong. Although Dingbang is the son of the second aunt, according to the rules, he There's only one mother, too, isn't there?"

The concubine's room is humble, even if she gave birth to a child, the child can only call the aunt as the mother, and the biological mother is called the aunt to show the difference in dignity. This is true even for ordinary merchants.

Here, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Qu Liancheng's face. For so many years, Qu Fengyan and his brother have been calling Xu their mother. After a long time, even he himself forgot about it.

"Ahem." Qu Liancheng's hand stroking his beard obviously paused, and his originally gentle eyes were cast with suspicion, "Xu'er means that you want to adopt Dingbang under your mother's name for your father?"

In recent years, the reason why the Xu family has been able to dominate the Chen family everywhere is that apart from scheming, a large part of the reason is that the Chen family has no children. If Qu Dingbang is adopted, the Xu family will hardly have any chance to stand up.

Seeing Qu Liancheng staring at him intently, a helpless wry smile appeared on Qu Lingxu's lips, "Does father really think that his daughter is doing this for himself?"

Seeing that Qu Liancheng was silent, Qu Lingxu continued: "There have been accidents in the palace in the past few days, and my father must have heard of them. Do you really think that Dingbang following the second aunt will be good for his future?"

Qu Lingxu's words made Qu Liancheng frowned uncontrollably, and began to think carefully. Concubine Xu had already offended the Queen Mother. The General's Mansion must bear the brunt of it, not to mention that Qu Lingxu is favored by the Empress. If she becomes the Crown Princess, the benefits of Dingbangji under Chen's name will be more than just this.

Thinking of this, he already made up his mind, "Xu'er is right. Dingbang is the son of the father, so naturally he should be respected by his aunt. I will order you to write Dingbang's name under your mother's name later." .”

For the time being, he doesn't have to worry about what happened to the Xu family. It's a big deal to let Qu Dingbang's identity be justified, and in this way, he doesn't have to worry that Qu Lingxu will secretly trip Qu Dingbang, killing two birds with one stone.

"Father, don't worry, mother is virtuous and virtuous, and she will be able to teach Dingbang well."

"It's because you are smart and quick that you solved this problem for my father!" Qu Liancheng laughed a few times, showing that he was in a good mood.

"It's a daughter's duty to share her father's worries, how dare she take on her father's praise." Qu Lingxu gave Qu Liancheng an embarrassed look, then lowered her head slightly.

This scene made others think that she was shy because she had never been appreciated by her father. Only Yunyi Yunxin and others who were familiar with Qu Lingxu's temperament knew that she was trying to hide the pride in her eyes.

Ling Yun, who was hidden on the beam, couldn't help complaining that the mistress's temper and character were more and more similar to that of his family's master. She snatched Xu's son away in a few words, and the news spread to Jinxiu Pavilion after a while. Xu couldn't help but go crazy.But she deserved it, whoever made her full was going to fight against her master.

Facts have proved that Ling Yun's guess...is simply not too correct.

When the news that Qu Liancheng wanted to open an ancestral hall for Qu Dingbang to change the genealogy came to Jinxiu Pavilion, Mrs. Xu couldn't believe her ears. She was stunned for a long time before she squeezed out a broken sentence through her teeth, "You... ...what did you say...say it again!"

The servants of Jinxiu Pavilion had never seen Xu with such a ferocious expression like a devil. They knelt down on the ground with a plop, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would be dragged out and beaten to death in the next moment.

"Are you deaf? I'll let you say it again!" Mrs. Xu grabbed the medicine bowl on the table and threw it at the boy who came forward to report. Crouching on the ground, "Second Aunt, please calm down, it's not just nonsense, it's actually the master who said it himself, and the other courtyards should have gotten the news by now."

"Impossible! Why did the master suddenly give such an order!" Xu roared hysterically again.

"This..." The young man glanced at Mrs. Xu cautiously, then hurriedly lowered his head, and murmured in a low voice: "I heard that the lunch that the master had at the eldest lady's place at noon, just after returning to the study, he... ordered it." This order..."

"Qu Lingxu! It's this little slut again!" Xu's heart trembled with anger, he grabbed the few high-quality official kiln porcelains on the bedside table and smashed them.She knew that the little slut couldn't let Feng Yan go so easily, so it turned out that he had set his mind on her son!
The favor she received now is not as good as before. Only by relying on this only son can she have the chance to get rid of her humble status as a concubine. Qu Lingxu's doing so will undoubtedly destroy all her hopes!

The anger in Xu's heart surged, and regardless of Madam Yu's stop, she struggled to get out of bed, and shouted: "Are they all dead, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, my wife is going to see the master!"

Xu was in a hurry and didn't care so much, but the mature Yumao gradually recovered from the initial shock, and stopped her: "Master, calm down, you must not go!"

If it were anyone else, they would be dragged down and beaten to death by Mrs. Xu as soon as the words came out. Madam Yu has been with Mrs. Xu for many years, so it would not be like this, but Mrs. Xu still glanced at her coldly and said with a low voice. He shouted: "Mommy, even you want to fight against me!"

"I don't dare!" Madam Yu wanted to say something to Mrs. Xu, but felt that there were too many people in the room, so she had to let the others out of the room. Those maids were so scared that they would die. Do birds and beasts scattered.

When there were only two masters and servants left in the room, Nanny Yu gathered her clothes and knelt down, "Master, you should indeed go to see the master, but it shouldn't be now, and it shouldn't be with this attitude."

"Attitude?" Xu sneered twice, "You have heard that the son I have worked so hard to raise is about to become that bitch of Chen, what do you think I should have a good attitude?"

Nanny Yu looked up at Mrs. Chen, and said word by word, "Master is wise, that's why he did this."

"Mom, what are you talking about! Are you trying to piss me off!" Xu raised his arm and was about to slap Madam Yu's face, but he held back and shouted angrily, "Okay, you should tell me why, otherwise You don’t have to stay by Madam Ben’s side to serve you!”

Nanny Yu is Xu's nanny, who brought her up single-handedly, and followed her to marry into the general's mansion. She can be said to be the closest person to Xu's. She sighed softly: "Master, in the past month, we Jinxiu There are many troubles in the pavilion, big and small. Forgive me for saying it bluntly, it is impossible for the master to help you to be a flat wife in a short time. It's the age to discuss marriage, are you willing to watch him marry a woman of ordinary family?"

Although Madam Yu's words were not pleasant to listen to, they were the truth. Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, and she recovered a little bit of reason from her anger. She bent down to help Nanny Yu up, and said through gritted teeth, "Dingbang is the only one that the master has. The son of his son, so what if he is a bastard, it is impossible for the master to pass the title to that little bitch Qu Lingxu!"

Nanny Yu sighed again in her heart, she could only blame the young miss for being so clever in breaking her hands, she made her master fail again and again in just a few days, so that she became impatient and completely lost the shrewdness and rationality of the past, so she had to remind: "The master is confused. The master is in his prime, and there are so many concubines. How can you guarantee that they will not have a son? If that time comes, it will be too late."

"Hmph, they are worthy!" Over the years, the Xu family did not know how many concubines they had killed, otherwise, how could the General's Mansion only have three children.

"Of course they can't rely on them alone, but don't forget, there is also Qu Lingxu, if she helps secretly, do you still think there will be a chance of winning, master?" Nanny Yu unceremoniously poured cold water on Xu.

"Qu Lingxu, this little bitch, I must make her life worse than death!" Xu walked with the veins on his forehead bulging angrily, but he had to admit that Madam Yu was telling the truth, and it took a while to spit it out. He breathed heavily, "Even so, I can't let Mrs. Chen take Dingbang away!"
