My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 96 Never underestimate the enemy

Prince Yong's Mansion acted very quickly, and within a few days the betrothal gift was prepared. Young Master Wei and the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion came forward and led a team of people to the capital to formally offer the betrothal gift to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

At the same time that the Zheng family arrived in Beijing, the team from Prince Yong's Mansion also arrived in Shengjing.

As expected, Prince Yong's Mansion was extremely wealthy and had prepared a total of 88 taels of betrothal gifts. Each item was of high quality and exquisite, which showed that Prince Yong and his son attached great importance to the Cui family's marriage.

News soon spread from the Zhenguo Palace that Miss Cui Wu would marry far away from Jiangdong at the end of the year.

After hearing this, Shen Yuan just secretly said it was a pity, "A flower stuck in cow dung."

Shen Yuan really didn't have a good impression of the brainless second-generation ancestor of the Qin family, Crown Prince Wei, who provoked the Qin family in person.

The Qin family and the Cui family will marry off their daughters one after another. After these two lively events dissipated, a night rain caused the temperature in Shengjing to drop sharply, announcing the arrival of late autumn.

On the tenth day of September, Mr. Qin's second wife, Mrs. Dong, gave birth to a baby girl at full term, named Qin Zhili.

"Li" connects to "Li", and the old lady hopes that her great-granddaughter will be a woman who knows etiquette and abides by justice in the future.

Jiang quickly fulfilled her original promise and promoted Dong from the rank of concubine to the concubine. From then on, the second wife of the Qin family officially had an additional Aunt Dong.

Mr. Qin was still very happy and praised his wife for being virtuous and generous.

At night, he wanted to have a long-lost intimacy with his wife as a reward, but he couldn't even get through the door, so he had to leave in frustration.In his heart, he secretly scolded Mr. Jiang for being sour and jealous, which was inappropriate.

The old lady shook her head looking at her second son's foolish appearance, as if he was blinded by lard.

Didn't he realize that his wife and three legitimate children were becoming more and more estranged from him?

Forget it, forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

She is old and can no longer take care of her. She will suffer a lot in the future.

A few days later, Aunt Jian, the daughter of Young Master Lu of Sui'an Bo Mansion, also gave birth to a baby boy ahead of schedule.

It's just that this baby boy was born weak. He was as skinny as a kitten when he first landed, and his cry was as quiet as a mosquito's cry. After the doctor looked at it, he said he was born with deficiencies and needed to be raised well.

Aunt Jian was so mad that she cried out, "It was my mistress who harmed me," and insisted that Qin Minyi had tampered with her food, causing her son to be born with deficiencies.

For a greedy and stupid person like Aunt Jian, Qin Minyi didn't even bother to pay attention to her. She didn't even give him a look, and directly ordered someone to take away the baby boy and give it to the wet nurses to raise.

As for Aunt Jian, she was benevolent and was escorted by Mrs. Lu to a manor in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate in the name of being "crazy". Mother and son are not allowed to meet.

When Shen Yuan and Qin He heard the news, they couldn't laugh or cry.Aunt Jian is such a stupid person, how did those people fall in love with her in the first place?He actually appointed her as an internal agent in the Lu family?Are you sure you're not trying to be funny?
She could not survive even one round under Qin Minyi, and she would kill herself first without the other party taking action.

Compare it to the Dong family in their house, he is much smarter.

Every day he wished that he was a transparent person, living his small life in a low-key manner behind closed doors and turning a deaf ear to all external affairs. It seemed that he was really frightened by Qin He's warning last time.

Otherwise, how could Ms. Dong have given birth to her daughter safely and left her mother and daughter safe? This was all because Princess Hetai wanted to keep her own safety and leave a way for them and their daughter to survive.

Mrs. Dong had indeed resigned herself to her fate and only wanted to live a stable life with her daughter. She had no intention of fighting for favor with Mr. Jiang.

She only hopes that if one day she cannot survive, the Qin family can protect her daughter and ensure that she grows up safely.

Shen Yuan felt a little numb.

Fortunately, she had always regarded that "mysterious organization" as a scourge and a top enemy, but this is the person they sent?
One of the pig-brained men tried to kill himself, and the other surrendered after being intimidated. If there are people like this in the organization, are they sure they can succeed?
Qin He couldn't help laughing when he heard his wife's inner complaints.

"We are lucky. The Janes and Dongs we met are not difficult to deal with, but these two women are just an exception after all. The forest is big, and it is normal for some crooked fruits and dates to appear. We should not underestimate the people behind them. "

Shen Yuan tapped her chin lightly and agreed with a smile, "You can never underestimate your enemy at any time, I know."

"Have you ever heard about Yiyong killing the concubine of a military lord and killing his wife?" Qin He suddenly asked.

"Of course I've heard of it. It caused quite a fuss a few days ago."

"Then you must not know that Mr. Fang's first wife has run out of oil and gas. As soon as she dies, Mr. Fang will stay at the funeral for a year and then he will straighten his beloved concubine."

Shen Yuan looked shocked, "Master Fang doesn't want that official hat anymore? Isn't he afraid that the imperial censor will refer to him? This is the real lust..."

Qin He smiled meaningfully, "Who says it's not the case? Mr. Fang's concubine love is very good."

Shen Yuan was horrified, "Are you saying that Master Fang's concubine is one of theirs?"

Qin He nodded slightly to show his acquiescence.

"You are right, you must not underestimate them!" Shen Yuan said seriously with a serious face.

Who dares to despise the "pillow style" that can coax a fourth-grade official to make a beauty smile regardless of his future.
