After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 72 Irritability
Qi Tanying never regretted speaking out to persecute her younger brother, only regretted not discovering his abnormality earlier.

Qi Yukun was still young when his father died, and because he was the only male in their family, his mother hoped that his son would inherit his father's career and disciplined him very strictly.In order to allow him to concentrate on his studies, it is strictly forbidden for the young maids at home to serve him closely.

So when he saw Jiang Zhenyu, who was free and unrestrained, and compared with his boring life, he couldn't help feeling envious.

Who would have thought that he would learn from Jiang Zhenyu and do things that would ruin his reputation.

In order to completely cut off her younger brother's thoughts, Qi Tanying asked Jiang Zhenyu to take her to the other courtyard where Lian Er was hiding.

After seeing Lian Er, he returned the purse she had given to Qi Yukun to her, and took back the jade pendant that Qi Yukun had given her.

She sternly warned Lian Er not to pester Qi Yukun again in the future.If she knew that she was secretly contacting her younger brother, she would never let it go.

Lian'er shrugged her shoulders, pretending to be indifferent, "If that's the case, then we won't be in touch anymore."

She snorted: "If I hadn't seen him treating me sincerely, how could I have given up such a bustling place like Mingyue Tower. Now that you are here, it just gives me a reason to leave here."

Qi Tanying didn't expect him to be so straightforward, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Lian Er was straightforward, she was not a stingy person, and immediately gave her 500 taels of silver, and asked her to sign an agreement that she would never pester Qi Yukun again.

Coming out of the other courtyard, Jiang Zhenyu followed Qi Tanying's footsteps, "Cousin Qi, don't say that I brought you to the other courtyard, otherwise I won't have anything to do with brother Kun."

Qi Tanying glared at him, "That's just right, our Brother Kun doesn't need a brother like you."

Jiang Zhenyu shut her mouth when she heard the words. An angry woman is really easy to mess with, so he pretended not to say anything.

Qi Tanying didn't want to pay attention to him, and after getting into the carriage, she asked the coachman to turn around and go to Jiang's house.

There are actually two things to do when I go out today, one is to settle the matter between my younger brother and Lian Er, and the second is to hope that my aunt can come forward to find a suitable marriage for my younger brother.

Before coming to Jiang's house, she discussed with her mother that in order to prevent Qi Yukun from making this mistake again, it is better to let him get married as soon as possible.

Mrs. Jiang didn't understand this very much, "Brother Kun is still young, and it won't be too late to wait a few years for the marriage."

But Qi Tanying couldn't tell her the truth, so she repeatedly asked her aunt to help her younger brother's marriage.

Mrs. Jiang agreed.

Qi Tanying was about to go back to Qi's house, when Mrs. Jiang stopped her, "Wait for me a while, I will go to Qi's house with you."

My sister is sick, so she has to go and see her anyway.

Xingqingfang, Qi's house
Madam Qi's mental state has improved a lot today, and she took Nanny Zhu's hand to walk around the yard when she got up in the morning.

She was born with a heart disease, and after Qi Yukun kowtowed to her and admitted her mistake, most of the disease disappeared.

Now she only hopes that her son really realizes that he was wrong and will not do it again in the future.

After her daughter negotiated with the brothel woman, she would have nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, she sighed: "I don't know if it will be smooth for A Tan to go to Jiang's house?"

Mother Zhu answered: "Madam, don't worry, there is nothing our girls can't do."

Madam Zhu's original intention was to appease Madam Qi, but Madam Qi's heart skipped a beat when she heard her words. On the surface, her daughter looked gentle and amiable, but deep down she was stronger than anyone else.

What if the girl in the brothel was pushed into a hurry by her and spread the word about her relationship with Brother Kun?
She regretted that she didn't follow.

Just when she was worried, the servant girl came to report, "Ma'am, my uncle is here."

Madam Qi quickly withdrew her thoughts.After a while, Yan Li came to the main courtyard.

Qi Tanying was not there, Madam Qi asked Qi Yukun to avoid suspicion.Only then did Yan Li realize that his wife and younger brother were also at home.

It's just that his eyes are black and blue, and his complexion doesn't look very good. Could it be that he is also sick?

So he asked a few questions with concern, but Qi Yukun said that he was reading at night with the lamp on and did not get enough sleep.

Seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, Yan Li changed the subject and asked, "When will Brother Kun go to the academy?"

Qi Yukun said, "Leave early tomorrow morning."

The two of you ask a question and I answer, the atmosphere is very awkward.

After a while, Yan Li couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Qi Tanying what she was doing at Jiang's house.

Qi Yukun's face froze for a moment, then he turned his head and said, "She...she went to find her aunt."

Yan Li stared at Qi Yukun for a moment, his intuition told him that the boy opposite must be hiding something.

Yan Li remembered the scene he saw at the gate of Xuerongzhai yesterday, and thought of his wife and brother's faltering appearance, and was sure that his wife had gone to Jiang's house to see Jiang Zhenyu again.

If yesterday was uncomfortable, then today is deep doubt.

What exactly happened?It will make Qi Tanying go to see Jiang Zhenyu for two days in a row.

How about he also go to Jiang's house?
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came up, the figures of Qi Tanying and Mrs. Jiang appeared outside the courtyard.

Seeing that Yan Li was also there, Qi Tanying was a little surprised, "Why is your husband here?"

Yan Li greeted Mrs. Jiang first, and then replied: "Dali Temple is not busy today, I took half a day off with Mrs. Fang, and came to Qi's house to visit my mother-in-law."

Mrs. Jiang glanced at her nephew and son-in-law appreciatively, "That's right, he's filial."

After finishing speaking, he said to Qi Tanying, "I'll go to see your mother, you young couple can do whatever you want."

Seeing this, Qi Yukun also got up: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going back to the study."

"Wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Qi Tanying called him to stop, put the jade pendant back from Lian'er into his hand, and told him: "Take it well, don't give it to others in the future!"

Qi Yukun was silent for a moment, then put the things in his waistband calmly.

Qi Tanying patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Go."

After Qi Yukun left, Yan Li pretended to be very casual and asked, "Did A Tan go to Jiang's house to meet his aunt today?"

"Ah... yes... not all of them."

Qi Tanying didn't know why he asked this, but said: "I have other things to do when I go to Jiang's house."

Yan Li hummed, and didn't continue to ask, but changed the subject: "I bought a few pastries at Xuerongzhai after I was off duty yesterday, but it's a pity that you are not at home, and those pastries were given to Yuanniang by my mother."

It was just a few pastries, Qi Tanying didn't care.

He smiled and said: "I'm not at home these few days, the pastry will go bad after a long time, it's just right for Sister Yuanniang."

After the words fell, she suddenly caught something wrong in her mind.If she remembers correctly, Xuerongzhai seems to be opposite Juxian Tea House.

Yesterday she left Juxian Teahouse at the beginning of Youshi, and Yan Li's off-duty time was mostly at [-]:[-] a.m. every day. If he went directly to Xuerongzhai after off-duty, he might have seen her meeting Jiang Zhenyu.

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at her husband, could he be testing her?

The smile on her face disappeared, "Did you see it all?"

"I see." Yan Li said truthfully.

Qi Tanying's heart tightened, and she quickly explained to him, "I have nothing to do with him, it's just because there are very important things that I need to clarify with him. Including going to Jiang's house today, I also asked him for a favor."

Speaking of this, she became more and more calm, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but I dare to swear that I have never done anything to be sorry to you."

Yan Li remembered that she had stuffed Qi Yukun with something earlier.Combined with her explanation, he guessed that the two meetings between her and Jiang Zhenyu were related to Qi Yukun?

Just as he was about to ask, he heard Qi Tanying say: "I hope you don't hold on to the fact that I met Jiang Zhenyu. If there is a chance in the future, I will tell you the truth."

Yan Li's brows moved slightly, did she treat him as an outsider to guard against?Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably irritable.
