The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

The night before Qi Wu got married.

Qi Zheng came back from outside feeling drunk.

When we arrived at Tan's house, she was not there. When I asked, she said she had gone to Grandma's house.

After a while, Mrs. Tan came back and saw her husband alone in the house, so she quickly started to serve him personally.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Tan said: "Master Hou, I have found a girl for you, and I have been raising her in the small courtyard for a year. She looks very painful. Do you want her to take care of you?" ?”

"No need!" Qi Zheng waved his hand.

"This is my wish! I am old and frail, and my brain and hands are dull. I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you!"

"You are a generous person and have made many arrangements for me. I gave them away last time. As I get older, I take these things lightly. There is no point in keeping the little girl by your side and misleading others. It is better to stay with me. Brothers have a great time drinking, chatting, and writing military books and strategies!"

"Oh my god! Lord Marquis, I can't understand your state!"

"Haha, don't worry about it!"

"But you won't stop drinking when you come back! Please be careful!"

"It's okay...what did you do?"

"Brother Xiao's wife is in a bad way, I'll go take a look!"

"Have you hired a doctor?"

"How many times have I invited you? Alas!" Mr. Tan sat next to him.

"Isn't it okay?" Qi Zheng knew that his eldest grandson's wife was pregnant.

"If you ask me, she doesn't have a big physical problem, but she has too many things on her mind! She has a strong temper, and she encounters unpleasant people, ugh..."

"I haven't had time to talk to you privately, how are you at home? They didn't make you angry, right?" Qi Zheng asked seriously.

My wife is from a low background, so it is inevitable that she will sometimes hear gossip from people outside the family.

Mrs. Tan was stunned for a while, and then sighed softly again.

This surprised Qi Hou: "What? Just say what you have to say!"

"Everything else is fine! Even if he has a suitable wife...well, I don't even know where to start talking about it! Xu is a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, so they are natural enemies.

Youyi and Qi Xiao are close to me, but Cui is awkward. I thought about it for a long time and figured out that there were two things that offended her, one was Xiuyun and the other was Xu. This concubine and one wife were all decided by me, so I offended her and suffered. Otherwise, she returned to her hometown for more than half a year last year? ! "

Qi Zheng then remembered and smiled: "You don't have to be like this. I agree with her going back to do this! If Youyi and Qi Xiao hadn't been so busy these years, they should have gone."

Mrs. Tan felt resentful in her heart, but said with annoyance on her face: "I wish I could build the graves of my ancestors and my sister! This is not what I mean by my concubine!"

Qi Zheng smiled again, "Okay, okay. That's not the case!"

"I am telling the truth! Moreover, this is not the main reason why she went back... She is worried that I will find a wife for Xiao Wu again. Therefore, in the name of repairing the tomb, I want to set a wife for Xiao Wu. The daughter of the Qin family."

"The Qin family? Isn't it the Qin family where Xiaowu goes to school?"

"Isn't it?! I thought, the Qin family has a good reputation, so it would be nice to succeed. But she went back, but she didn't succeed! The girl from the Qin family married into the Jiang family of Duke Jingguo!" Thinking of it, Mrs. Tan still It’s so cool!

"Is this happening?!" Qi Zheng frowned, he was unhappy!

"I am still lying to you?"

"She can get engaged. She must have discussed it before! Is this the Qin family breaking the contract? Huh, I don't know how the good reputation spread! She does such a shitty job..." Qi Zheng's mind is not completely wrong.

"If you don't succeed, you can't do it! Xiao Wu is so outstanding, and there are so many good girls in the capital! How many people came to me just to inquire? As a result..." She told Mrs. Qi how she insisted on going her own way.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zheng said: "Master Zhang... I met him in the court the day before yesterday. He is a down-to-earth man! And he has three Jinshis in one discipline, tsk tsk, which has not happened in many years in the whole dynasty. That is quite a sight! Look again. My fourth daughter-in-law is stable and generous. This family is a good choice!"

Damn old man! Mrs. Tan secretly resented it and quickly went back to make amends: "Yes, when Mo Qing came in, I often asked her to come over and talk. She is indeed a good girl! I'm not saying that she chose the wrong one! But the warmth that Xiao Wu was given Home! Alas..."

"Is it inappropriate for the Wen family?"

"My family is well off, and my father is a Jinshi, so I look respectable. But this girl took over Cui's shop as soon as she entered the capital. She made a public appearance and took care of it with a group of people.

Business is pretty good! But, people like us..."

At this point, Qi Zheng nodded. The Qi family has no shortage of money. What does it look like for a woman to be doing business outside? ? If you have a nice shop, just rent it out!

"Besides, before the opening..." Mrs. Tan's eyes turned red, "We opened it for two days to invite relatives and friends. The entire Cui family went, and I heard that even General Cui brought a bunch of friends! But we Jia…Fengying didn’t even ask a question!”

After Qi Zheng heard this, he thought to himself: The horse's leg is crooked here. Although the shop belongs to the Cui family, it is run by a girl from the Wen family. Before we got married, my husband's family all went out to eat and drink, which didn't look very nice to anyone...

"Yes! Everyone who went there has a distinguished background. A village girl like me is..."

"Okay, okay! Don't be angry. We deserve this. Listen to you, this Miss Wen is really inappropriate..."

It didn't make a good impression on him. "There's more!" Mrs. Tan wiped her eyes and became serious: "Miss Wen has a girl. I heard that she always follows Prince Yongqing, the legitimate son of King Wu. Somehow, he caused a scandal with Jin Zi from Duke Xingguo's family and let the princess catch him. Duke Xingguo was reprimanded by the emperor and Jin Zi was beaten. The girl hanged herself."

Qi Zheng became angry when he heard this. "What kind of mess is this! You're making such a fuss, and you still want to marry her?!"

"I'm so willing to be a mother-in-law! I don't know what kind of magic soup that girl gave Fengying, but she was so kind to her! Otherwise, Mrs. Xu keeps tossing her!? If the trouble continues like this, I think the baby will be born!" "

"Come here! Call the boss and his wife!"

"Master Marquis! If you call me now, won't you make them think that I am spreading gossip?" Mrs. Tan was anxious and quickly stopped her: "After all, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are living this life! Don't make me look like a human being inside and outside!"

"Even if they knew it was you who said it, what could they do to you?! Go!"

"Dad!" After a while, Qi Youyi and Mrs. Qi came in.

Qi Zheng was sitting upright, wearing home clothes and looking calm.

"Well, sit down! I've been busy since I got back, so I didn't have time to ask. That girl from the Wen family, what do you like about her?"

He looked at Mrs. Qi and asked her.

Ever since she knew her father-in-law was coming back, Mrs. Qi had discussed all the possibilities with Wen Yu.

I was worried that the Tan family would cause trouble, but there was no movement. Unexpectedly, on the first day of the wedding, my father-in-law started to cause trouble.

Qi Youyi glanced at Mrs. Qi unhappily.

Mrs. Qi said softly and with a smile: "Father, this girl from the Wen family is called Wen Yu. The Wen family is well off. Her grandfather is a Juren, her father is a Jinshi, and her biological mother, Chen, also comes from a scholarly family. Wen's family is wealthy. The girl grew up with her grandmother, Mrs. Wen, who is also a famous local philanthropist."

She also glanced at Mr. Tan lightly.

Mr. Tan was furious... Doesn't it mean that I have no background?

She peeked at her husband, but he didn't respond...

"My daughter-in-law and Miss Wen really didn't meet each other through seeing each other. Instead, they met several times by chance. My daughter-in-law discovered that this girl is not only good-looking and talented, but also has a very good nature. She respects her elders and is loyal to her friends.

Before, she went to Cui's house. From my father to Yuanyuan, no one dislikes her! Even my sister-in-law, who is such a serious person, smiles at her. Father said: This girl has the temperament of the Cui family. When the daughter-in-law took a look, she looked a bit like her when she was young... No wonder she is so popular! "

"..." Qi Zheng was speechless: If I am dissatisfied with her, then I am dissatisfied with you, and by extension, I am also dissatisfied with your father!

Tan's dark eyes looked at Mrs. Qi, "Okay...

"Father, Miss Wen is very capable. My daughter-in-law has given her two shops. One of them is a restaurant called Youziyouwei..."

"What's your name?" Qi Zheng fainted. He was invited by his friends the night before yesterday.

He also said that although this restaurant has a fancy name, it tastes really good and he would like to take his family there again someday!

"Tasty!"

"Ha! It's true... How did I hear that her family had a bad family tradition, and her sister committed suicide because of scandal?"

"I don't know who is talking nonsense!" Mrs. Qi said with a stern face. She finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Ms. Cui!" Qi Zheng shouted unhappily.

Qi Youyi said quickly: "Why are you talking?!"

"Father, everything is clear! The second sister of her family went to a date with her girlfriend. Who knows how the one from Xingguo's family got there!? It's a private secret of the palace, and we can't say more.

The Wen family suffered a big loss and there was nothing they could do. The emperor even rebuked King Wu and Duke Xingguo! The Empress also called Princess Wu to... inquire! But nothing happened to Mr. Wen. What else is there to say? ! "

When Qi Zheng heard this, he had nothing to say.

Tan said: "But I heard before that Miss Wen Er was following Yongqing and the others, running around! This rule..."

Mrs. Qi wanted to point at her nose and ask: How did you get to the capital? Didn’t you count it yourself?

But she can't say it!

My son is getting married tomorrow!

After enduring it, he said: "Madam, young men and women in the capital also have social interactions. Even Mao Mao, when invited by friends to go out to play, wasn't there a man playing polo, chess, or sword dancing? ?”

"Ms. Cui, please stop saying a few words!" Qi Youyi felt that she was contradicting Mrs. Tan.

Tan choked, looked at Qi Zheng, and lowered his head.

"Okay! No matter what, if something like that happens, the woman's family will definitely be the unlucky one! This girl from the Wen family has entered the house, you have to teach her well!" Qi Zheng thought for a while, but there was nothing he could do.

"Yes." Mrs. Qi agreed happily.

"In addition...Qi Xiao and Qi Yang are both your biological sons. Especially, Qi Xiao is the eldest son, so he should be relied upon more. Even if you can't do it, at least you should have a bowl of water!"

Mrs. Qi wanted to point her nose at her father-in-law again: Why don't you respect your eldest son?

Why don't you just finish the bowl evenly?

These accusations were on her lips, but she just lowered her eyebrows and said submissively: "That's what father said."
