A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 84 Paving the Road (Part [-])
Jian Xinghai didn't think much about it for a moment: "The Qi family... just happened a few days ago, and then Shizi's wife fell ill, and the back house of their house has completely stopped in the past few days."

Qin Song had paused for a moment, but now he continued to walk forward.

Jian Xinghai knew him well, and when he saw this, he felt that he was dissatisfied with his answer.

But he thought about it, and didn't think there was anything missing: "Yes... Is there any omission in this subordinate?"

Qin Song really didn't want to ask such a question himself, but Qi Huan seemed to be a mystery covered by clouds.

He really didn't like the feeling of groping in the mist but not being able to touch the opponent's cards.

After walking in silence for a while, he finally opened his mouth: "You have been to Zha Qi's house for so long, and you haven't found out who the man who secretly communicated with her is?"

The whole Qin family, including Jian Xinghai and Mrs. Wu Chenghou, knew about Qi Huan.

Although Mrs. Wu Chenghou has resentment in her heart, the two families only have a marriage contract after all, and the girl has not officially married into her family. She is not from her family, and her own son has also done disgraceful things. The idea is also simple, we all live in the capital, look down and see up, even if the marriage fails, there is no need to slander and criticize each other, making both parties a laughing stock, and making irrelevant people laugh at it.

Therefore, after Qin Song mentioned that Qi Huan had a problem with her, she also made a decisive decision and cut off the matter directly from herself, not even mentioning to the most confidant people around her.

The reason why Qin Song told her was because he respected his mother, and because it was a matter of Qin Shuo's life, he had to tell Mrs. Wu Chenghou to know it well.

As for more details...

For example, how he found out about Qi Huan's indiscretion in private, or who the man she fell in love with, he didn't discuss in depth.

And Mrs. Wu Chenghou was obviously very measured, and she didn't chase after him to inquire carefully.

Therefore, compared to Madam Wu Chenghou, Jian Xinghai knows more about Qi Huan.

But this thing—

Qin Song usually wouldn't use it as a topic of conversation, but their master and servant knew it tacitly. Jian Xinghai didn't expect him to ask again today.

It really happened suddenly, this time it was Jian Xinghai who was silent for a long time, integrating all the clues he knew in his mind, and said truthfully: "This...subordinate really didn't find out."

But he was sure that they went to Zhuangzi of the Qi family that night.

and--

It was Qin Song who saw it with his own eyes and confirmed that the girl in that room was Miss Qi.

There's no need to fake this.

Jian Xinghai thought about it left and right, and thought to himself: "It's strange to talk about it. Since that night, there has been no movement related to this matter in the Qi family's house. The next day of the Qinglong Festival, the Qi family Mrs. Shizi personally went to pick up the young lady from Zhuangzi. She should have dealt with many people because we broke in by mistake, but only two second-class maids in the lady's courtyard were killed. Others, or Is it a board, or a sale."

If you don't think about it carefully, the more you think about it, the more strange it becomes.

Jian Xinghai also began to be a little puzzled: "And these years, Miss Qi has been complaining about illness, living in seclusion, not going out all year round. If you say that her lover is a servant in the Qi family's courtyard, it doesn't look like it. Because Mrs. Shizi brought her back After Beijing, although the back house was quickly tidied up and many people in the mansion were removed and replaced, they were all sold out or sold. It should be... It has nothing to do with the eldest lady."

According to Yang's enthusiasm for her daughter's treasure, if some servant in the mansion really corrupted her daughter's innocence, why not be chopped off by her?
In this kind of matter, don't say that she dotes on her daughter, she will treat her daughter lightly.

How important is a woman's innocence?No parent can bear this kind of thing.

If Miss Qi is married to a well-matched young master for life, Mrs. Yang will see that the deal is done, maybe she will bear it and push the boat to marry them, but if it is just a servant in their house...

That person will surely die!
Jian Xinghai didn't need to analyze this statement, based on the understanding of Qin Song and Yang's mother and daughter through contact, he also felt that it would not be a servant of Qi Mansion.

Yang couldn't bear it anymore, let alone Qi Huan——

If that girl had been imprisoned in the deep house for more than ten years, with a pure and ignorant temperament, it is still possible to be deceived by some servant's rhetoric; but seeing how shrewd and powerful she is, unless she is unwilling Lonely, go to lie to others, otherwise who can deceive her with sweet words?

But even if it is the servant of the mansion that she took the initiative to deceive...

Yang knew it, so he had to chop that man up!

As for why Qin Song's master and servant never doubted Gu Zhan...

In Qi Huan's room that night, the two people's teasing and concubine-like laughter was real, it was obvious that the two were willing and they were very familiar with each other.

But Qi Huan has been out of the house all year round, and Gu Zhan has been to the frontier for many years, it is impossible for them to even know each other.

Furthermore, even if Qi Huan is indeed more courageous than ordinary girls and behaves more perversely, but she usually behaves, at least on the surface, she is also a proper and normal person.

As a normal person, if a seriously injured stranger suddenly broke into your room in the middle of the night, how would you react?
Anyway, it could never be the scene and movement they saw in Qi Huan's room that night.

Then there was the incident when Qi Huan and Gu Zhan met by Wangxian Lake later.

Both of them had a calm demeanor, and there was no sign of acting. Although Qin Song first carried Qin Ying into the carriage that day, he was on the far side of the road and kept watching the movement on the shore. Zhan asked his subordinates to help Qi Huan fish the troubled Ling Miaomiao out of the water, but they didn't have any eye contact in private.

If there is really an unspeakable relationship between a man and a woman, then even if the words are not spoken, there will always be something revealed between the movements and eyes...

and so--

Is this really a headless case?

Qin Song was inexplicably irritable, and walked quickly.

Jian Xinghai was about to trot to follow him, and immediately understood: "Then either the subordinates should ask someone to keep an eye on their house, or try to go to his house to see if they can find out something. Are there any clues?"

Qin Song then turned around and gave him a hard look, and said coldly: "Ben Hou just took advantage of her Yang family, are you still making trouble?"

This matter cannot be investigated, if one of them is not serious, and other members of the Qi family are aware of it, it will definitely push the mother and daughter of the Yang family into a situation where there will be no redemption.

After Qin Shuo finished speaking, he vigorously smashed the box in his hand to Jian Xinghai, lifted the corner of his robe, and entered the study courtyard.

Jian Xinghai almost vomited blood on the chest hit by him, grinned and rubbed his mouth, holding the box in his hand, also felt that he was inexplicably hit.

If the eldest daughter of the Qi family dared to do such a thing, she would have to bear the risk of exposure sooner or later. If she didn't take the initiative to expose it, it was already benevolent enough. Would she still want to help hide it from now on?
Just because he took advantage of Mrs. Qi's son?

But this benefit is obviously to use his own little lord to counter those evil wolves of the Qi family, and it is not just a hush money.

Since when did my little lord start being so careful and kind to other people's affairs?
Jian Xinghai felt that there must be other reasons for his master's bad mood today.

But he was puzzled, so he didn't dare to provoke him anymore. He took the box in without saying a word, put it in the corner of the table, and then withdrew to guard in the yard.

On the Qi family's side, Yang's dealt with Mrs. Wu Chenghou. Although she didn't put much thought into it, she was not feeling well these few days, and she had indeed begun to feel tired.

Qi Huan asked someone to loosen her coat, and then helped her back to bed and put her down.

Yang Shi was still uneasy about the matter in the front yard, and shook her hand again worriedly: "What do you say?"

"It's settled." Qi Huan smiled, and pulled the thin quilt over her lap, "Master Qin Xiaohou agreed, and our business will be protected by him in the future, and my marriage with the second son of his family will also be taken care of." Return it to us."

Yang frowned, still not daring to take it lightly: "Where's the marriage certificate? He didn't return it to you?"

Qi Huan really didn't expect this.

She couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but then she smiled indifferently: "This matter may have to be delayed for a month or two."

Normally, she didn't want to hide from Yang Shi, so she simply said Qin Song's plan to release Qin Shuo out of Beijing: "Since the two companies will continue to communicate and cooperate in the future, I think it's not bad." In a month or two, I will simply agree to give that little Marquis of Qin a favor."

Listening to Qin Song's arrangement, Yang nodded her head: "Our mother and daughter are single and weak, it's good that the family can keep it a secret, but if they find out, they will have to rely on the power of the Qin family to restrain them. That Qin Song, although he acted perverted and a little bit forceful, I don't think it should be broken, since you have promised him, then do it like this, and there is really no rush."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Qi Huan half-truthfully stated his plan: "Mother, since we want to give away favors, why don't we give them a big one. How about we come forward to withdraw this marriage?"

"Since his family already has an idea, why should we rush to become this villain?" Yang objected intuitively.

Qi Huan tried his best to try his best to persuade him in a soft tone: "It's my problem. That young master Qin is not so easy to get along with, and his tolerance may not be so big. I will meet him today and look at him... I was still worried about that matter in private, so I thought, let’s just delay it. At that time, the mother took the initiative to go to the divorce, and told them that it was because the daughter was sick and could not get married for the time being, so it would not delay them. Afterwards I will go out of Beijing to hide for two or three years, when the situation will change, and the second son of his family will marry a wife and have children, and everything will be stable, and the Qin family will not be able to continue to worry about this old matter of me."

Yang Shi disapproved from the bottom of her heart: "You will be sixteen this year, in two or three years..."

Qi Huan immediately interrupted her: "Actually, I just want to procrastinate."

She leaned over to Yang's side and acted like a baby: "Mother, you are someone who has been here before, and you know better than me that giving birth is a hell for a woman. I have been in poor health for the past few years, but now I have just seen improvement, and I am still very weak. No matter which family I marry, once I get married, they will force me to conceive and have children right away? I'm really worried that my body won't be able to bear it. Just taking advantage of the Qin family's resignation as an excuse, If you support me for another two years, we can still take the opportunity to give that little Marquis Qin a favor, why not?"

The mortality rate of ancient pregnant women during childbirth is scary when you think about it.

Qi Huan knew that being "unmarried at an older age" and staying at her natal family would put a lot of pressure on Yang, but she still felt that her own life was the most important thing.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she is only a half-grown child, her body has not yet grown up, so she goes to get married and have children, and fights with her own life...

How much does a woman need to love a man to be willing to conceive and bear children for him?
What's more, in her current situation, the little girl of fifteen or sixteen and the boy of seventeen or eighteen, what do you think they love or not?Do they know what love is?

The so-called marriage is nothing more than a requirement for the marriage of family interests and the succession of the family.

Qi Huan knows that since a person has time-traveled, she should do as the Romans do, but now that she has honor, she still wants to follow her own heart as much as possible and pave the way for her future.

especially--

Yang's body is like this, and Qi Yuanchen is so young, she doesn't feel at ease if she abandons them and gets married.

He simply took the matter of the Qin family as an excuse, and used both hard and soft tactics to complete Yang's ideological work.

Yang is not really afraid that the Qin family will have opinions on their mother and daughter, but Qi Huan said that she is worried about her physical condition——

This is tantamount to poking her weakness.

She was at a loss, and weighed and considered for a long time, but she still had concerns: "If you delay for another two or three years, when you get older, this marriage will become even more difficult to discuss."

She is willing to say this, which is basically tantamount to a compromise.

Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally broke out on his face: "Then I'll recruit a son-in-law, mother, you are rich and powerful, and your daughter is not ugly, are you really afraid that no one will want me?"

"You said it again, I think you have become more and more unruly recently." Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and gave her another look.

"I just did this in front of my mother..."

Yang is indeed still worried. If she really keeps her daughter until she is eighteen or nineteen, she will definitely be pointed and gossiped.

But she herself has been reluctant to marry in her life, and from the bottom of her heart, she really doesn't think that being married must be the best destination for a woman.

especially--

She was also really worried that Qi Huan's current physical condition could not bear the risk of pregnancy and childbirth.

Think twice -

Just take one step at a time, it's great, just like what Qi Huan said, when the time comes, you really can't find a suitable family, so you just pick someone with similar personality and appearance, and forget about recruiting a son-in-law.

Qi Huan knew that she had kidnapped Yang Shi once again with family affection, so he felt guilty, so he deliberately behaved, and stayed with her for a long time, until after lunch, he led Qi Yuanchen back to her own yard for a nap.

When Qi Zhengyu returned home in the evening, sure enough, the housekeeper went over to report to him in person immediately, and during the day, the news that Marquis Wucheng Qin Song came to the door in person.

On this day, both father and son had no social interaction, and Qi Wenang came back with him.

He came to his study together, ready to say something.

Qi Zhengyu didn't speak at first, but Qi Wenang stopped the teacup that had been handed to his lips, and took a look: "He said that he accompanied Pang to visit sister-in-law's illness?"

The butler stood at the door just after entering with downcast eyes respectfully: "Yes, because the Hou Ye and the Second Master are not here, the Madam Shi Zi sent a message to invite Madam Wu Chenghou to An Xuetang, and the little Hou Ye asked the little one to invite him to go. After drinking tea in the living room, the eldest lady went over and said that she was thanking and apologizing for Mrs. Shizi. The little one listened to it, as if it was about the marriage between the eldest lady and the second son of the Qin family... The little one is not good and has been guarding in the hall, so he retreated first, but the young master of the Qin family looked unhappy, and left without finishing a cup of tea. When he left, the little one went out to see him off. It's not good, but I don't know if the eldest lady said something that shouldn't be said."

Qi Zhengyu remained silent, and Qi Wenang waited for a while, then waved the butler away.

As soon as the butler left here, Qi Zhengyu raised his eyes and gave his entourage a wink.

The relative nodded and went down, and he took out two official documents and talked about official affairs with Qi Wenang.

When the father and son finished discussing here, the personal attendants also came back: "Master Hou, I have asked, Mrs. Wu Chenghou is here to visit the sick, and Mrs. Shizi is probably because the two sides did not reach an agreement when she went back to his house last time. It was extremely indifferent, the two of them only politely talked about the situation, Madam Wu Chenghou couldn't sit still, so she went back."

After all, Qi Zhengyu was the head of the family, so if she wanted to inquire about the exact news in An Xuetang, there was naturally a way.

There was no important conversation between Yang and Pang. Qin Song came and didn't enter the back house.

As for Qi Huan——

Qi Wenang smiled and shook his head: "Sister-in-law dotes on the child, it's time for elder brother to restrain his sister Huan."

It is true that no matter how aggressive she is, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and no one would think that she has the ability to discuss serious matters with someone like Qin Song.

In addition, Qi Zhengyu confirmed afterwards that Qin Song did indeed rest on this day, and he was really filial to Mrs. Wu Chenghou, and he would personally escort her out.

It continued to be calm for a few days, March [-]th, the last day of the Chunwei Examination.

The sealed gate of the Gongyuan will be reopened at dusk, Qi Huan excused Yang's going to check the accounts of two shops on the way, and asked someone to prepare a car and go out around noon.

This time, because it was a daytime trip, I had no choice but to bring Qi Yuanchen with me.

"The little one is a boy. In fact, if there is a chance, we should take him out to play more." Qi Huan personally helped Yang out of the house, and naturally said the words to the servants in the house, "Going out today, Let's find a restaurant for lunch, the chef at home eats the craftsmanship every day, and I'm tired of eating it."

Naturally, Mrs. Yang has nothing against her: "If you don't tell me earlier, if you don't ask someone to come over to say hello and book a private room in advance, if you just go there now, there may not be a place."

It's not that officials and family members can't go to the restaurant to eat, but they definitely can't show their faces and sit in the lobby with a group of people.

The mother and son talked and laughed, got into the carriage and left.

Qi Huan was naturally going to Tongji Medical Center this trip, saying that eating was just a matter of passing.

A group of people went to the street behind the Tongji Medical Center in the south of the city. There was a Yunhe Tower there, which was very well decorated and had a good reputation in Beijing.

A group of people stopped in front of the gate, and Miss Yun went to the Dingya room and Ximian first.

Just as Qi Huan helped Yang Shi get off the carriage, Qi Yuanchen, who was standing on the shaft of the carriage, yelled loudly: "Third Uncle!"

　Lord Qin Xiaohou: I think so. . .Take the blame?

　　I'm Huanhuanzi, I don't blush on both sides, I'm so busy, cover my face~
