Chapter 30 Accident
"What, you want us to move out of Jiang's house?"

Mrs. Qi thought she had heard wrong, and looked at her sister in disbelief.

Mrs. Jiang looked puzzled, "Ayun, you also know that I am the housekeeper on Jiang Jiaming's face, but the real housekeeper is in the hands of my mother-in-law."

She didn't intend to hide anything, and told her sister directly, "A Tan has been criticized recently, and it's not a bad thing to go out and hide. You can move back after the rumors pass."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qi still didn't understand what else, as long as they left the Jiang's house, how could they move back in the future.

She looked at Mrs. Jiang with a long face, "You are really my good sister."

In the beginning, she was the one who made the marriage contract for the two children, and she was the one who broke the promise and broke the contract. Later, she was the one who found Yan Li to show her daughter.

The daughter got involved with Yan Li because of her deceased husband's case, and her reputation was affected. Knowing that their orphans and widows were helpless, she even asked them to move out.

After all, she shouldn't have brought her two children to live in Jiang's house in the first place.

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang broke up, "If my sister had explained the matter between Brother Liang and Princess Qingyang earlier, why would our family of three return to Beijing in a hurry? Also, A Tan has not yet settled on a marriage, Don't you feel guilty, sister?"

Mrs. Jiang was of course guilty. On one side was her husband's family and children, and on the other was her direct sister and niece. The warning from her mother-in-law was still in her ears. She was really in a dilemma.

"Ayun, take Atan and move back to Qi's house first, and I will ask your brother-in-law and good brother to pick you up in person after a while."

Mrs. Qi snorted coldly: "No need, the Jiang family is a big family, it's normal to look down on poor relatives like us."

She stood up and bowed to Mrs. Jiang, "Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, for taking care of me during this time, and please allow me two days to move out after we have cleaned up."

"Ayun, don't talk like that." Mrs. Jiang felt a little uncomfortable, "We are sisters of direct relatives, so you have the heart to stab my heart with barbed words?"

Mrs. Qi turned her face away, suppressing the gloom in her heart.

After coming to Jiang's house for so many days, she has been obedient to this elder sister in order to rely on her to plan for the future of the two children. Now the son's future is not worrying, but what about the daughter?

Mrs. Jiang saw that she was angry with her, and tried to persuade her for a while, but she was also a little annoyed when she saw that she still ignored her.

"You are the one who caused this situation. If you listen to me and decide on the marriage between A Tan and Yan Li earlier, there will be so many right and wrong."

"If you want me to say, now that A Tan and Yan Li are involved, it's better to marry him. So what if he has a concubine in his family, A Tan is young and beautiful, can't he hold down a concubine?"

"You don't know yet, the thirteen girl that your Qi family sent to the palace to run for election has received the grace and is now a nobleman. The Qi family in Wuzhou has always liked to compete for fame and fortune, so you are not afraid of them changing their minds again. On A Tan?"

Mrs. Qi was shocked when she heard the words, Shisanniang Qi has become a noble person?Thinking of the cruel words that Qi Juemin left behind, Mrs. Qi suddenly felt a little at a loss.

This look fell into Mrs. Jiang's eyes, and she only felt that she hated iron but could not make steel.Her younger sister, who can only throw face at her own family, is a coward, and when she met the tiger and wolf relatives of the Qi family, she was so panicked that she lost her soul.

"I'm telling you this, not to scare you. You know, as long as A-tan doesn't get married for a day, the Qi family in Wuzhou can take advantage of it. If they want to be rich and powerful, they can't just rely on the one in the palace. Just wait and see. , None of the unmarried girls in your clan can escape."

Mrs. Qi opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time. After a while, she said unwillingly: "Should we just let them slaughter me?"

"Of course not."

Mrs. Jiang took Mrs. Qi's hand and patted it, "You must take this opportunity to settle the marriage between A Tan and Yan Li. After all, Yan Li is an official, and with him here, Those people also have to weigh in."

"I have to discuss it with A Tan. If she disagrees, I will..."

"Children's marriage only needs the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Yan Li seems to like A Tan very much now, but his heart is changeable. If the Qi family does not reply for a long time, he will go to see other women. A Tan will suffer. Criticism will be in vain."

Mrs. Jiang didn't like her younger sister's lack of opinion the most, and Mrs. Qi didn't care to be annoyed at the moment, so she asked Mrs. Jiang to help with this matter.

When Qi Tanying found out, the Qi and Yan families even exchanged Geng posts.

Qi Tanying was a little annoyed that Mrs. Qi made her own decisions, and Mrs. Qi quoted Mrs. Jiang's original words to deal with it, which made Qi Tanying speechless.

Mrs. Qi sighed, "A Tan, this time you just listen to mother, mother will not harm you."

"I know my mother won't hurt me, but I just feel aggrieved." Qi Tanying panicked in her heart, her mother's ears were soft, and her aunt let her decide her daughter's future with just a few words.

She has no objection to marrying Yan Li, but she cannot marry unwillingly.

After the two got engaged, they became a fiancé couple. On the day of moving, Yan Li, the son-in-law-to-be, came to help early. After the arrangement was settled, Qi Tanying called him aside and planned to have a private chat with him.

"Have you found that timber account book?" She asked her most concerned thing first.

Yan Li nodded.

No one thought that the phrase "where the bamboo is deep and the trees are dense and the insects are buzzing, sometimes there is a slight coolness is not the wind." This is the real hiding place of the ledger.If he hadn't been to Danfeng Academy before, he would not have known that this ancient poem was engraved on the stone at the entrance of the small bamboo forest of Danfeng Academy.

Qi Heming buried the box containing the wooden ledger and the palace design drawing under the stone. In addition, there was a last letter in the box.

He mentioned in the letter that he had just been transferred to be the inspector of the Tangshan Palace, and he discovered that there was a problem with the wood of the Jiaozhi Hall, but no one paid attention to it after reporting it, so he privately investigated the source of the inferior wood.

What he didn't expect was that when he found out the source of the wood, someone gave him a design drawing of the Tangshan Palace, and marked on the drawing where inferior wood was used.

He was horrified after seeing it, because the entire Tangshan Palace not only used inferior wood in Jiaozhi Hall, but also eighteen other places.These include the Chenghui Hall and the Yuqing Palace where the emperor summoned the ministers and lived, as well as the residences of the princes, princesses, and concubines.

This is no longer simply seeking personal gain. Due to the importance of the relationship, Qi Heming did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he could only report the matter and submit the physical evidence.

Qi Heming said that after presenting the physical evidence, he always felt uneasy, so relying on his photographic memory, he hid a copy of the account books and drawings in Danfeng Academy, planning to destroy them after the matter was over.

If someone finds this account book and drawings, it means that he is no longer alive.

Hearing this, Qi Tanying was both shocked and angry, "If it's really what my father said in the letter, someone must be behind it, that's why..." She couldn't continue with the following words.

Ten years, ten years have passed. The nobles in the palace go to Tangshan Palace every year to escape the summer heat. It can be seen that they don't know that there is a problem with the wood used to build the palace.

In other words, the physical evidence submitted by the father did not reach the case of the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

Where did they go?
