Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 101 Hold on to the Duke's Mansion

Qi Zhongqing is not stupid either, after hearing the words, he immediately thought clearly about the pros and cons.Looking at Qi Tianbi, he shouted: "Tell me the truth! Who ordered you to do today's matter? Who else planned with you? Who tipped you off and asked you to lead your sister-in-law there?"

Qi Tianbi secretly hated Qi Tianxiang for being lucky enough to escape!Trembling all over, he said pitifully, "Daddy, I know I was wrong! I... I don't know who he is! He is covering his face and persecuting me!"

Seeing her daughter suffering, Ji felt very distressed.Tian Bi is still a child, how could those people tell her so much?Ji didn't want her daughter to suffer for nothing, so she said: "Master, please be kind! This poor concubine did it all by herself! The poor concubine was jealous of the eldest lady for being favored by the master, and got the power of the house, so she was punished by the pig." You have deceived your heart and helped outsiders to frame the eldest lady! Master, please look at the relationship between husband and wife for many years, and please spare this child Tianbi! She just listened to my arrangement and didn't know..."

"It turned out to be you, a bitch, behind the scenes!" Qi Zhongqing was reminded by Tianxiang just now, and she already guessed the reason.Now that she had admitted it personally, she immediately pointed at her and yelled: "How can I feel sorry for you? You actually joined forces with outsiders and almost ruined the jewel in my palm!"

Tianxiang shivered all over, when did she become the apple of her eye?Just listen to what Ji said, is she going to bear everything?She is an aunt with no status, what does the queen mother and son like in her?
Mrs. Ji knelt on the ground with a plop, no longer the arrogance and intransigence of Su Su: "Master, the poor concubine has pleaded guilty now. After all, Tianbi is your flesh and blood, please don't punish her—"

Tianxiang's eyes flashed, and she walked over first and said: "Aunt Ji, you are just an aunt who stays at home, how could you get on the line with His Highness Xiu Wang? There must be something hidden in it, just tell it, I believe Dad will read it In the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years, I will be lenient to you!"

Ji's eyes flashed, she bit her lips and lowered her eyes and said, "Miss don't need to ask, the poor concubine did not lie."

Qi Tianxiang sneered and said, "Aunt Ji thinks that Tianbi will have a better life in the future if she bears the guilt herself? Your actions have already implicated the Duke's mansion, and the Duke's mansion will be in danger in the future, how can Tianbi be spared? "

"You... Miss what do you mean by this? What the poor concubine committed, how did you implicate the Duke's mansion? Please silence the lady and don't scare the poor concubine!" Ji's heart trembled, and he forced himself to be calm Say.

"You stupid woman!" Qi Zhongqing slapped her across the face, pointing at Ji Shi and roaring: "Death is imminent, and you still don't know how to repent! That Prince Xiu and Prince Chen are one body, so what he does is naturally planning for Prince Chen! The next Chujun, His Royal Highness King Yan is even more vocal, he still knows what you have done today. In the future, when King Yan succeeds to the throne, the Duke’s Mansion will definitely be implicated! At least you will be dethroned, and at worst you will be executed..."

"Ah!" Mrs. Ji was stupid and ignorant, and understood the pros and cons of Qi Zhongqing's words, and immediately knelt down on the ground in fright: "The poor concubine deserves to die! The master spares my life! The poor concubines say..."

Qi Tianbi knelt aside, her eyes widened!She didn't know when her mother acted as a spearhead for others, which made her unlucky too! "Mother, oh no, Auntie, how can you behave like this?"

Tianxiang frowned and glanced at Qi Tianbi, this heartless person!Aunt Ji did this for her sake.It's good for her, instead of pleading for mercy on behalf of the Ji family, she followed and blamed the Ji family for everything!Didn't she have any selfishness about today's matter?If it wasn't for her evil intentions, how could she attract King Xiu?How did the incident of falling from the building happen?
"Bi'er..." Ji's heart was desolate, and when she heard Tianbi's accusation, her heart ached even more: "It's my mother's fault, it's making you suffer..."

Qi Tianbi felt a pain in his heart when he heard the words, coupled with skin trauma, after all, he couldn't help it because he was young, and immediately blacked out and fainted.

"Bi'er!" Ji exclaimed.

Qi Zhongqing was worried in her heart, and immediately said: "Come here, send Bi'er back to the Emerald Garden, and immediately ask the doctor to follow her."

Tianxiang was unwilling in her heart, she didn't expect her father to put the fault on Ji's head like this!Qi Tianbi was appeased!How can such a treatment convince the public?

Seeing that Qi Tianbi was sent back, Ji was a little relieved.All the maids in the room were turned away, and the old lady stopped visiting Ji, her heart was completely chilled.For so many years, she has known that she is stupid and caused a lot of troubles, so she more or less turned a blind eye.Now she is even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous.

"Oh, sister Ji, you are so confused!" Lian Shi had been on the sidelines just now, but now she seized the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Qi Tianjiao followed her mother closely, and echoed, "That's right, Aunt Ji is too selfish! How can this kind of decapitation implicate our Duke's Mansion?"

Zhuo told the old lady early in the morning that she was not feeling well.Tianqing sat quietly by herself, keeping silent.

After careful consideration, Qi Zhongqing looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, Mrs. Ji is your cousin's niece after all. It's just that she made a mistake and was punished, and she couldn't obey the public. Now my son will punish her lightly, and she will be demoted as a slave from now on. How about comparing the cost of food and clothing with that of a maidservant, and another thirty army sticks?"

"Oh, what a crime!" The old lady shook her head and said, "Forget it, you are the head of the family, so let everyone obey you!"

Ji shivered fiercely, although she was unwilling, she didn't dare to refute.I had no choice but to kowtow to thank her, and then a rough envoy rushed in and dragged her down.

Seeing the end of the good show, everyone retreated one after another.Qi Zhongqing left Tianxiang alone: ​​"Xiang'er, wait a moment, I have something to ask you as a father."

"Yes, father!" Tian Xiang lowered her eyes and stood obediently aside.

"Xiang'er, my father has neglected you these years. You lost your mother since you were young, and you have not had a mother by your side for so many years. In addition, they deliberately bullied you. You have a very bad life. No matter how bad it is, it is still a family. I hope you can be merciful and don't kill them all..."

"Father!" Tian Xiang frowned and interrupted him, "Father naturally knows how my daughter has been doing these years. My daughter is a junior, and she doesn't want to fight like this all day long. So I ask my father to take back the power of the house. Leave it to Aunt Zhuo! In case someone is jealous and catches her daughter!"

"Xiang'er, I don't have that intention as a father!" Qi Zhongqing was a little speechless, he didn't mean that.He just hoped that Xiang'er would be kind-hearted and not be as knowledgeable as those aunts who couldn't make it to the stage.

"Father!" Tianxiang said with a faint smile: "My daughter is a girl who has not been out of the court, so she shouldn't be in charge of the house. Grandma asked Xiang'er to learn to be a housekeeper, always for the future when Xiang'er gets married, so that she can be on her own. It's just my daughter. Well-intentioned and doing my best for the sake of the mansion, but it has caused the villain to plot! My daughter is afraid that if it continues, my life will be lost!"

"Xiang'er, it was Aunt Ji who committed the crime this time!" The old lady finally said, "Don't take it to heart, don't be afraid. Grandma will take care of everything for you! During this period of time, you are in charge of the family, so for the time being, you will continue to take care of it. Let's go!"

"Grandmother—" Tianxiang sniffed, choked up and looked at the old lady.

Qi Zhongqing said, "That's right! Don't worry, Xiang'er, as a father, I won't allow you to be hurt!"

"Well, Xiang'er was frightened today, it's getting late, let's go back and rest earlier!" The old lady made a final decision, looked at the maid and said, "Ting Rong, send some comfort soup to the young miss."

"Yes!"

Tianxiang wiped her eyes pretending to be aggrieved, and took her maid back to Yu Yan Zhai.

Liuying also said indignantly: "It's just that the Ji family is vicious, and she was only reduced to a slave, which made her cheaper!"

Tian Xiang also frowned, there must be more than Ji in the mansion, there should be eyeliners sent by other mansions.

Qi Zhongqing seldom stepped into the Emerald Garden, Ji Shi was beaten with [-] military sticks, and the pain was so painful.Seeing Qi Zhongqing coming now, I couldn't help crying: "Master!"

"Okay, you are injured, so there is no need to be polite." Qi Zhongqing waved his hand and sat down.

Mrs. Ji sniffed and said, "The master came here this time to ask questions, right?"

Qi Zhongqing glanced at Mrs. Ji, and asked softly: "Mr. Ji, now that you have reached this point, don't hide it anymore. Who ordered you to do this? The person who gave you orders every time is the same person..."

"Master—" Ji suddenly burst into tears, "After all these years, you finally talked to me gently again! At the beginning, my cousin asked me to be your aunt, so I was willing. At the beginning, you I am gentle and considerate, and I am very happy. Even after having Tianbi, your new wife is still with Aunt Zhuo, and I hope that one day, you will see me well. But after all these years, things have finally come to an irreparable point to the point of!"

"You don't need to change the subject!" Qi Zhongqing closed her eyes and said cruelly: "Since you know the purpose of my coming, then tell the truth!"

"Every time the person who came to deliver the order, I don't know who it is. He always came with a mask, but took a token from the palace. The servant guessed that the token belonged to the concubine in the harem."

"In this way, the scope is too large!"

"I observed carefully, and finally once, I found a line of small characters on the token. It means..." Ji's eyes suddenly widened, with a face of unwillingness.

Qi Zhongqing was startled, and saw blood dripping from the corner of Ji's mouth!With a tremor in his heart, he found that Ji's pulse was gone! "Come here! Ask the government doctor to come over!"

Tianxiang was in a deep sleep, Nanny Gui shook her arm and said, "Miss, wake up!"

"What's the matter? Don't make noise, I haven't had enough sleep yet!" Tian Xiang fiddled with Kai Gui's hand, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly under the blanket.

"Miss! The matter is so important that the Ji family died suddenly!" Nanny Gui said in panic.

"She's dead?" Tianxiang scrambled to her feet.

When Tianxiang came to the Emerald Garden with her maid, she heard the old lady's sad cry: "My poor child, who is so vicious and killed you cruelly!"

Tianxiang hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady and comforted her: "Grandmother, no matter how sad you are, you must pay attention to your body!"

"Grandma, don't be sad, just pay attention to your body!"

Except for Qi Tianbi, the other three granddaughters were all comforting the old lady.

Qi Tianbi seemed to be dumbfounded, and kept silent.The old lady's heart ached even more, she pulled her into her arms, patted her back and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Tianbi, you still have grandma. From now on, grandma will take good care of you and love you!"

Qi Tianbi remained motionless, as if she was really dumbfounded.The old lady was in a hurry: "Doctor, come quickly and show the young lady if she is sick!"

"Don't worry, old lady. Miss is just overly frightened and can't accept it for a while." The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to falter: "I'm afraid if Miss doesn't think about it, she will always be so stupid!"

The old lady rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and fainted!
After Qi Zhongqing arranged for Ji's burial, he also canceled the planned birthday banquet.Someone died in the mansion, and the youngest daughter was frightened again, so he was naturally not in the mood to live his life.

The next day, Qi Zhongqing called Tianxiang into the study and said, "Xiang'er, I won't hide it from you. Now that Aunt Ji is dead, we really have no way of knowing who is behind the scenes."

Tianxiang pursed her lips and said, "Father, since Aunt Ji has gone with this secret, it's a good thing. The people behind the scenes will definitely not hold on to the Duke's Mansion, so we are safer at last."
