Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 108 Power in hand, young master Duanmu (4)
"You probably don't know that Lao Qi's grandfather was engaged not by the old lady, but by a young lady from the Li family in Huaiyang. At that time, the young lady was probably weak, and the family was afraid that she would suddenly marry him. Unaccustomed to the environment will cause emergencies, so two years before the two got married, they first bought a family business in this big Yuncheng, and moved the person over to raise it. It turned out that she didn't expect that when she came, she would immediately Hooked up with my elder brother." Duanmutang continued, with a mocking smile on his lips, "Then they got pregnant, and the two of them got scared, and when they were going to elope, they were found by the family and arrested. At that time, because Mrs. Li was pregnant, she couldn't deal with her, so she was locked up first. You also know, how many men are in love? After Mrs. Li was locked up, that bitch kept the old After forgetting about it, they are still spending time and drinking outside. The members of the Li family rushed over after hearing the news. They meant that since the scandal had been done, they should simply marry Li to the eldest son. The head of the family at that time, That is Lao Qi's great-grandfather, who only has two legitimate sons under his knees, and he was also reluctant to part with the eldest grandson in Li's belly, so he nodded in agreement."

"But Mrs. Li did not marry into Duanmu's family. I have seen Duanmu's family tree in the young master's study, and there is no such lady in the family tree." Shunying said.

At this moment, she could already guess the whole thing in her mind.

The old man drowned without getting married, and there is no record in the family tree that he has any children left behind, and the old lady hates the people in the big house so much, so now there is only one explanation——

It was the child born by Mrs. Li, who was finally brought back as the son of Duan Muxiang, the old patriarch, and raised under the name of the wife he later married, that is, the old lady.

"Of course she doesn't exist anymore." Duanmutang heaved a sigh of relief. According to Shunying's speculation, the two who died should be his grandfather and grandmother, but when he mentioned it, he still had a teasing expression on his face, "Because The old man had just agreed to the marriage, and on the way the Li family returned to Huaiyang to prepare for the marriage, he had already drowned his eldest son."

"Then what about the Li family? Is that all? They didn't come to the door afterward?" Shunying said.

If people from the Li family would come to make trouble, then this matter should have spread throughout Dayun City, and it is impossible for the Duanmu family to cover it up.

"They wanted to make a fuss, but the old man's skills are so good that he planned everything from the beginning. The Li family is a merchant, and they can be counted as the richest man in Huaiyang, but in the eyes of the Duanmu family It's not enough to watch, the family concealed the news of the eldest son's death, and then the old man made a ruthless move, launching a business war with lightning speed, the head of the Li family just returned to Huaiyang, his whole The family business was on the verge of collapse. With the financial strength of the Duanmu family, there is really no merchant family in this world who can compete. The Li family has no power to fight back, and it collapsed overnight." Duanmu Qi said: "The Li family is gone. Afterwards, the news that Miss Li's family lived in Dayun City soon spread that she hanged herself and went to the underworld with her relatives. But here in Dayun City, they quickly chose the old lady Yue Shi for Lao Qi’s grandfather to marry in. Li Shi’s child was born five months after Yue Shi entered the door. The one who came down, although the old man drowned his eldest son in a fit of rage, he was still his own flesh and blood after all, so he wanted to leave a bloodline for him, so he waited for another half a year, and brought back the son born by Li Shi , placed under the names of Lao Qi’s grandfather and old lady Yue’s, and raised as their eldest son.”

It is conceivable that the unruly lady of the Li family has no chance of surviving after giving birth to a child. The old man of Duanmu's family, in order to cover up his family's ugliness, even killed his own son, and would be merciful to an outsider. ?

This past event was really tortuous, but the Duanmu family's ability to keep this matter a secret shows how powerful the old man Duanmu's methods were.

Shunying sighed when she heard it, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and said solemnly: "The third son and the eldest lady don't know about this, do they?"

"Naturally." Duanmu Tang smiled and said, "Except for the old man who planned all this with his own hands, only Lao Qi's grandfather and old lady knew about the entire Duanmu family. Of course, Lao Qi should know now. And as for me—it's just an unfortunate coincidence—"

As Duanmutang said, he stood up and stretched his muscles, "I accidentally heard the old lady and Cheng's mother mention this, tsk tsk, the tone of the old lady's words... tsk tsk..."

Just because I know that the old lady hates this matter deeply, so I can predict her determination to eradicate this matter, so——

From the beginning to the end, this person played around in the world, and didn't get involved in anything between Dafang and Duanmuqi?

But when you think about it, the old lady has a strong character and was forced to raise an illegitimate child for her husband's ex-fiancee. One can imagine how much resentment and hatred she will have in her heart these years. She can bear it until today. It's really not easy, and it's almost a matter of course that she will kill the entire big house.

It's just that if you just look for a reason to do it, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If you meet boring people and get to the bottom of it, it is very likely that the scandal of the year will be exposed, and the Duanmu family will become the laughing stock of the world.So she conspired with Duanmuqi and adopted a roundabout strategy to induce Duanmuyang to compete for the position of Patriarch, and then use this big event to create the illusion of conflict between him and Duanmuqi. In this way, anyone will only think that this is Duanmu In order to take revenge for taking back the position of the master, Qi will not think about other aspects.

After Duanmutang finished telling the story, he stretched again, yawned twice, then turned around and walked back to the bedroom.

Shun Ying stood in front of his window for a while, and saw Shun Yu rush in from outside, dragged her away, "Why are you still here? Go away!"

"What's wrong?" Shunying came back to her senses with a jolt, "Did something happen?"

"Miss is gone. I took people to search all over the house and couldn't find her. Someone said that she was seen riding a horse out the back door half an hour ago. Maybe she went to find the young master!" Shun Yu said anxiously, Holding Shun Ying's hand, she ran towards the gate, "The young master has gone to the old lady's place, let's go find it quickly, and we must find the young lady before the young master notices."
