Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 86
After hearing the news brought by Mrs. Ji from Mrs. Liu, Qiu Yiran was stunned. How could it be possible?Whenever he was stared at, he really didn't feel anything strange at all.And... and... Ruqiu is really pregnant?But didn't she even notice it?He was sure that if Ruqiu knew about it, she would tell him immediately, whether it was for the sake of seeking merit, for the mother to be more valuable than the son, or for blackmailing him.

Ji sighed: "How long have you been together? Even if you got pregnant for the first time, it would only be more than a month. In such a short month, even women who have given birth to children may not be able to detect it in time."

Qingyuan Hou, who was sitting in the main seat, had a dark face and didn't say a word for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

Er Laizi, that family named Lai on Dashutou Street?Four years ago, after returning home drunk at night, he suddenly became interested and drove a carriage himself. As a result, the running carriage rolled over Lai Dafa, who was rushing home from work in a neighboring town, and was trampled by horse hooves and wheels. .But Qingyuan Hou, who was more than half sober, just frowned, cursed Lai Dafa for disturbing his mood, asked the coachman to drag the unconscious Lai Dafa away, got into the carriage, and drove away.

Lai Dabao, the eldest son who didn't want Lai Dafa, went out to pick up his father. He happened to see this scene and rushed up to block the carriage in front of him to prevent him from leaving.

Marquis Qingyuan was furious and roared, "You dare to stop my carriage, Marquis Qingyuan? You are seeking death!" While cursing, he grabbed the whip from the coachman's hand and whipped it violently. The painful horse stepped directly towards Lai Dabao... …

When the rest of the Lai family and neighbors heard the news and came over, Lai Dafa was already dead, and Lai Dabao was also dying. He only said six words, "Master Qingyuan... the carriage..." and then went with his father. .A blind beggar curled up on a street corner told Lai Erbao, the second son of the Lai family, what he heard: "Dare you stop the carriage of my Marquis Qingyuan? You are seeking death!"

However, the beggar disappeared the next day and never appeared again.

The ordinary people sued Lord Qingyuan, and the result was predictable.Although Fu Zuo could verify that Lai Dafa and his son did die from being trampled and hit by horse hoofs, no one could prove that they were hit by a carriage from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.

The Lai family lost its support and source of income, and suddenly collapsed.Six months later, Lai Dafa's wife was ill and left her two sons behind. 14-year-old Lai Erbao and his younger brother survived by doing odd jobs, petty theft, deception and abduction.People gradually forgot their names and called them "Second Raiders" and "Third Raiders".

After so many years, Marquis Qingyuan had long forgotten that incident. It was just the lives of two poor and humble people. How could he take it seriously?Unexpectedly, it was the sons of the poor and humble people, two scoundrels, who silently stared at his son and used such vicious tricks to strangle the throats of their Qingyuan Marquis.However, although Lu Da is low-level, he is not easy to offend, especially the backer behind him, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is not someone they dare to offend.

It’s true that “the grass grows without eradicating the roots, but spring breeze blows again”!When the Lai family sued him back then, they should have been accused of falsely accusing the nobles and sending the two young ones to remote and desolate places. The magistrate of Luozhou at that time was still his. Where are the people.

Hearing Ji's clamor to find someone to kill Ruqiu, Marquis Qingyuan glared at her: "Go to Meizhuang to kill people? Don't say that Meizhuang's institutions are intimidating, just say that Prince Jing and Magistrate Lin are taking care of her now. Meizhuang, coupled with the disputes and rumors that already existed between Qingyuanhou and Meizhuang, if the entire Qingyuanhou Mansion accidentally lost money, is it worth getting rid of an embroiderer? Besides, Lu Dazheng is waiting to become a cheap father. , you killed the woman and child he was targeting, can he let you go? Not to mention that there are still brothers who are bent on revenge on the Qiu family? As long as they let out the news that Ruqiu is pregnant with Yier's child, everyone will immediately think of it When it comes to killing people and silencing them, how will you deal with that situation?" Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Those gangsters are not easy to deal with if they get ruthless and cause trouble.Moreover, there are people in the capital of the current prefect Lin who have never been lukewarm towards him.

Ji couldn't help but shudder, could it really be so bad?What to do?Watching Ruqiu marry Lu Da with the piece of meat in her belly, and then give birth to a child?

Suddenly, another light flashed through Ji's mind: "Otherwise, find a way to send a letter to let Ru Qiu know that she is pregnant. She will definitely not want to marry Lu Da, especially if she is forced to death by that bitch Yin Zhiruan. Okay!" Killing two birds with one stone, he not only got rid of Ruqiu, but also ruined Yin Zhiruo's reputation, making her known as ruthless and scorned by others. It would be much easier for them to plot against her in the future. "

Marquis Qingyuan snorted coldly, and looked at Ji's eyes immediately full of contempt and disappointment: "You are getting more and more stupid, so stupid! I have just said that Lu Dazhi is determined to win, and he has done this He just forced Yin Zhiruo to let go of the life contract and agree to betroth Ruqiu to him. He didn't even let Yin Zhiruo know about Ruqiu's pregnancy, otherwise he wouldn't have acted in such a hurry. As for Ruqiu, he naturally has a way to deal with it, and he doesn't need Yin Zhiruo at all. do what.

Even if Ruqiu breaks the jar, makes the matter bigger and exposes the truth, it will only be our Qingyuan Marquis Mansion that will be unlucky.Ruona Ruqiu is still Yin Zhiruo's personal maid. This matter still has some influence on Yin Zhiruo, but now who doesn't know that Ruqiu is just an embroiderer?Didn’t you say that the housekeeper of the prefect’s family already knew about it?If someone really digs deeper, I'm afraid that the affairs between Ruqiu and Yi'er that day will be dug up, and then we will really become darker and dirtier. "With Yin Zhiruo's grandfather's kindness and Prince Jing's explanation, the prefect and his wife will definitely stand by Yin Zhiruo's side.

Qiu Yiran was extremely aggrieved. He didn't flirt with Ru Qiu at that time.If you have no money or money, how can you think of hooking up with a maid?I just thought it was a bit strange that Ruqiu was staring at him in a daze, and she was stunned for a moment.To be honest, even if I felt anything at that time, I would feel disgusted and contemptuous. The master girl left without any regret, but the maid stared at him in a daze with attachment. What was going on?He can only attract a maid?

But he knew very well that his father's words were right. It was Lu Da who was controlling the whole thing now. The only victims were him and their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion. Although Yin Zhiruo had no idea about it, he was also beneficial and harmless.Although it was a bit depressing to be forced to marry the embroidered lady in the palace to a turtle man, wasn't it also because of Lu Da's life-saving grace to Ru Qiu?Not only is he above reproach, but he is also praised as being kind and reasonable.After all, Xiu Niang is just a servant, not a relative. If she gets married, the relationship will naturally be severed.Seeing that both father and son were silent, Ji was anxious: "Then what do you think we should do? Wait until Ruqiu marries Lu Da and leaves Meizhuang, and then find a way to get rid of her evil offspring? Or, if it doesn't work, just forget it. From now on, if they refuse to admit that the child is Yi'er at any time, they won't dare to force us to take a blood test to identify the parent, right?" They had no intention of wanting a son born from a maid.

Marquis Qingyuan stared at Ji, but did not respond. The sinister look in his eyes made Ji couldn't help but feel frightened.Well, she soon realized what was wrong.However, you can't blame her. Isn't she so anxious that she loses her mind?
Qiu Yiran finally spoke: "Father, I want to talk to Lu Da. He has never had any problems with our Qingyuan Hou Mansion, and there is no need to have any grudges with us. As long as we promise to find him a beautiful wife who is just pregnant, If we get a generous gift, I guess he won't deliberately go against us. After all, he wouldn't want others to know about his hidden illness, right?"

Qingyuan Hou thought for a long time and then said: "This is the only way." After much deliberation, this was the only feasible way.It would be a good idea to use money to solve the problem.However, a scoundrel is a scoundrel, and I'm afraid that Lu Da has a big appetite.

"Also," Marquis Qingyuan thought of another thing, "that Ruqiu, you can only take it back first. As for after entering the mansion, whether to get rid of both the mother and the son, or to leave the mother and keep the son, that's up to me."

Ji was unwilling again: "According to the method you said, as long as Lu Da doesn't ask for marriage, everything will be fine? Just trick that bitch into tricking her out and giving her medicine. What else do you need to do to bring her into the house?"
Marquis Qingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and just said: "Why don't you hurry up and prepare the banknote? Take 3000 taels and bring the jade tea tray to Yi'er." After saying that, he stood up and left. He still needs to find someone to prevent Lu Da from getting into trouble and Qiu Yiran being unable to talk.

Ji almost screamed: "3000 taels? Why do you want so much? And an emerald tea tray? Why?" That set of emerald tea trays was one of the two or three most valuable items in her dowry, and it was also worth 2000 taels. .

Qingyuan Hou snorted and threw away his sleeves: "What's too much? The total is only 5000 taels. Otherwise, do you want to settle this matter with 500 taels? Is the money more important, or is it your son and the entire Is the reputation of the Qiu family important?" He also knew that Ji would not be able to come up with 5000 taels of silver for a while, so he asked her to bring out the jade tea tray.

Ji was so angry that she almost trembled, but it was only 5000 taels?How many 5000 taels does the Qiu family have?Don't take her dowry if you can!Even for the 3000 taels of silver notes, we have to use the 2000 taels that we finally managed to scrape together to buy new year gifts, right?If you use it now, what’s the half of the annual gift?Who said we must prepare more good things to send to Beijing this year?

Of course Qiu Yiran knew about the current financial constraints of Qingyuan Houfu, and felt a little guilty in his heart: "Mom, this time it's all my son's fault. He was careless. There is nothing my father can do. People like Lu Da are from rogue backgrounds. Let him If the lion opens its mouth, I'm afraid even 5000 taels won't be able to stop it. But don't worry, mom, these 5000 taels won't be spent in vain. After this incident, I will find a suitable woman to give it to him, and everyone has their own reasons. If in the future, If he can make friends with the noble people behind him, the money will not be a loss." If you want to achieve great things, you have to make friends with both black and white and all kinds of people, and you can use them all.

When her son said this, Mrs. Ji felt distressed again: "It's not your fault, it's all that bitch's fault for being impatient and a disaster. Yi'er, the money is spent, and it's okay to give away the jade tea tray, but that bitch Women don’t need Jinnah to come back, right? That’s a trouble maker, and it shouldn’t affect your marriage anymore.”

Qiu Yiran shook his head with a wry smile: "Mom, Lu Da made the matter known to everyone in order to put pressure on Meizhuang, how could he not propose marriage? It's not easy for a person like him to do something to save the beauty. A hero, a responsible man, maybe he is still enjoying this rare 'good reputation' right now, how could he slap himself in the mouth?"

Ji was stunned: "Then...that..."

Qiu Yiran continued: "All we can ask for is that he stop forcing Meizhuang, because mother, you have long liked Ruqiu's needlework, and Yin Zhiruo had promised before that Ruqiu would bring out several other embroiderers. Qiu gave it to me to give up for my concubine, so there is no loss to him or Yin Zhiruo." No matter what, whether it is the embroiderer or the maid, if there are any rumors about immorality or even pregnancy out of wedlock, Qiu Zhen, It is always bad to treat Yin Zhiruo and Meizhuang, so naturally it should be avoided if possible.

Ji is not really stupid, it's just that she couldn't turn around due to all kinds of eagerness. What else doesn't you understand after hearing what Qiu Yiran said?However, as soon as he turned the corner, he turned faster, and a new question suddenly came to his mind: "Yin Zhiruo gave Xiu Niang to you as your concubine? Then, wouldn't it be more difficult to want her to...?" Yin Zhiruo If you decide to make peace first, and then give the maid as a concubine regardless of past grudges, how can you still be willing to join the Qiu family as a concubine?Even if they really plotted against Yin Zhiruo, the world would still be suspicious.

Qiu Yiran nodded helplessly, what's more, it's more difficult?It’s simply impossible!But what can be done? The current problem has not really been solved yet. "Mom, go get the banknotes and tea tray. I'll ask Dacheng to make an appointment with Lu Da first, and then I'll tell you how to talk to Yin Zhiruo."
