Chapter 278 Compromise

Speaking of Qi Mansion, it is also a twists and turns.

On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, the uncle went to Yancheng in person, reached a tacit understanding with Qi Xiangwen and his son, and then returned to Beijing to discuss with the old lady and his son of Zhongyong Bo Mansion. The old lady originally thought that if the sixth uncle took action, Qi Xiangwen would definitely compromise and obediently confiscate the property to support the entire Bo Mansion. Unexpectedly, the father and son were so determined that they not only were willing to hand over 10% of the property, but also drove her son out to separate the mansion. The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table and immediately slapped the table.

"Impossible!" She glared, "At that time, the Marquis gave him 70% of his family property, and he took his wealth to Yancheng to live a happy life. I am the second wife, and the people are slight, and no one in the clan is willing to speak for me and my son. I endured it. Even though I had been living a miserable life in these years, I didn't bother him at all. Now he wants to take over the title and family property together, which is simply a dream."

Bo Zhongyong sat next to him, his body was bloated and blessed by wine and sex. He was blue and black now, and he had long since seen the handsome and charming style he was when he was young.

Compared to his mother, he was slightly weaker. "It was agreed that one of our brothers would inherit the title and the other would share most of the property. Now that I am willing to give up the title, my brother should give up the property I had obtained that year to me, which is fair..."

As soon as these words were said, the sixth uncle turned cold.

"You have the face to tell me fairness?"

He is an elder and has always been majestic in the clan. No matter how strong the old lady is, she dare not act arrogantly in front of him, and she dare not speak disrespectfully, a foolish uncle.

"Xiang Wenben is the eldest son. According to the rules, the title and 70% of the family property are what he deserves. How did you, mother and son join forces to take away the title and force him to go far away? Do you really think I am old and confused?" He sternly rebuked, "Eat a stern food? I can say this. The capital is full of aristocratic families, and there are many rich families than the Zhongyong Bo Mansion. But compared to extravagance, most of the powerful people in the capital have to give in to you mother and son."

The old lady and Zhongyong Bo were flushed when they were said.

The sixth uncle did not show mercy and continued, "I used those despicable means to fight for the title, but did not seek management, and only cared about luxury and enjoyment, ruined my family's fortune. I also wanted to ask Xiang Wen to fill this hole for you, but I didn't want to pay. How could there be such a cheap thing in this world? Do you really think Xiang Wen cares about this title? Have he relied on you over the years? He did not rely on anything, and he sat down step by step. But look at you--"

He stared at Zhongyong Bo and spoke without hesitation, "If you have a title, the connections and background of the Qi clan will give you a bonus, but you still accomplish nothing. As you are like this, you are so embarrassed to take this empty title and ask Xiang Wen, who was kicked out of the house by you, to help you? I blush for your mother and son."

The elders of the clan, only the sixth uncle dared to scold Mrs. Qi and Zhongyong Uncle so bluntly.

Mrs. Qi's old face turned red and she was unwilling to say: "Uncle Six said this badly. At the beginning, he was so arrogant that he repeatedly contradicted the marquis and even gave up his title for that woman. Why did it become our fault? We all have the same family and are all surnamed Qi. In the family, he is in trouble. As the eldest son, he has the responsibility to revitalize the family. How could he support him? They are all legitimate, and you can't be so biased."

The sixth uncle was too lazy to have a verbal battle with a short-sighted woman, and said coldly: "Okay, since you say I am biased, I won't care about this matter. You can do it yourself."

After saying that, he got up and raised his foot and was about to walk out.

Uncle Zhongyong immediately stopped him, "Don't be angry, sixth uncle, don't be angry. We are all a family, so please say it well if you have something to do, say it well..."

The sixth uncle snorted and brushed away his hand, "There is nothing to say. I am already half-tied. I have done what I should do. You must take shamelessness as the banner of justice and be a vampire for granted. Then you go by yourself. Didn't you say that you are eating braised vegetables? Okay, now you go out, change your clothes with the street beggars, and run to the gate of Qi Mansion in Yancheng to beg for food. Xiang Wen is soft-hearted, maybe you see you pitiful, and you will give charity one or two. Anyway, you mother and son have never had any face. If you lose face, this title is also a shame. At that time, I will take off the door plaque as firewood and burn it clean. At worst, I will die. Anyway, I have no regrets about my old bones. I will see the ancestors of the Qi family under the underworld."

Mrs. Qi's expression suddenly changed.

In front of the sixth uncle, she was not qualified to rely on her seniority, and she had no right to give orders. She had seen that the sixth uncle put the family interests first and entrusted him to persuade Qi Xiangwen. Unexpectedly, Qi Xiangwen, who had always been tolerant, became tough after staying in the north for more than ten years. This stubbornness reminded her of the fact that Qi Xiangwen was willing to go against his father and the entire clan for the sake of the Fu woman.

She used to think that Qi Xiangwen's temperament was really good, otherwise she might have to spend much time to get the title inheritance for her son. Now she feels that Qi Xiangwen's stubborn temper is really hateful!

There is also the old man, the sixth uncle, who is determined to restore the former glory of the Qi family? Unexpectedly, when he went to Yancheng, he was "incited" by the father and son and refused to recognize his relatives.

She gritted her teeth with hatred, but she could do nothing.

If the sixth uncle didn't care, Qi Xiangwen was determined to give up the inheritance right as he did back then and not take action to help him, sooner or later, the Zhongyong Boss's family would be ruined and would be worse than the civilians.

"Uncle Six, I just said nothing. You are a lot of old man. Don't bother with me, a woman." Mrs. Qi was on fire, but she had to pretend to be smiling. "You taught me the right lesson. We were bad before. Now that the uncle's mansion has fallen into such a situation, our mother and son have also suffered retribution. You also said that I can't write a word Qi, and it's all the family, and where can I have an overnight revenge? Xiang Wen is also my child. He has a promising future, and I am happy for him. When he comes back, he will be the head of the uncle's mansion. He said no one dares to say anything. Look, I am a man of age, what else can I ask for? But it's still for the children."

Mrs. Qi was also a Marquis. She was once a glorious person and was naturally not stupid. Her best attitude was to observe words and expressions and grasp people's hearts. Otherwise, she would not have been sowed that the Zhongyong Marquis and the eldest son would have almost broken up.

She knew that since the sixth uncle was willing to discuss with them today, she was still worried about the future of the entire Qi family. At this moment, she could not confront her openly, and had to follow her.

"Xiang Yu is not the one who is an official, but an empty title. With that little salary, how can he support a family?" She looked bitter. "Like you, I am also a person who is buried in the soil, and I am still greedy for those glory? I have only died of a piece of loess, but the whole family of this uncle's mansion is all descendants of the family family, and he is bleeding the same blood as you. You can't bear to watch them starve to death after leaving the protection of this uncle's mansion? You are right. Xiang Wen is the eldest son and should have inherited most of the family property. A few years ago, he was wronged. He has always been the most tolerant and generous and cannot bear to make things difficult for others. The whole family of this uncle's mansion is also his nephews and juniors, and he will not bear to watch them suffer. I don't ask for anything else, but just ask him to give these children a bite of food. His property under his name only needs to be given half of it, enough for them to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives..."

"Don't think about it!"

The sixth uncle had no good feelings for this old woman who was in trouble. He was able to discuss with her calmly, which gave her enough face. This woman did not regret her and wanted to be more arrogant. Not to mention Qi Xiangwen and his son, he would never have thought about this!

"You group of bastards who are not good at production and are only willing to lose their fortunes, have ruined all their ancestral property. They want to continue to live a prosperous and prosperous life, but are unwilling to give. Do you think I don't know what you are going to do?"

He smiled coldly, "It's just because the Bo Mansion really can't hold on anymore, so he had to let Xiang Wen come back. He only had one son, but you have a lot of descendants here. When you recover, you will use his power to climb up. If you can raise a good bamboo shoot, you will probably not remember today's "family honor" and "compromise". I don't know how to take back the title despicable and shamelessly. He was absorbed by you, and he lost his life without any use value."

Mrs. Qi was speechless immediately, her face suddenly turned red and her eyes flashed. She looked left and right but didn't dare to look at her sixth uncle. It was obviously her thoughts were exposed.

When Zhongyong Bo was here, she had the ability to take over the title. Her son was in charge of the family for more than ten years. She also served as the old lady who had been the only one for more than ten years. Why should she give it to Qi Xiangwen? Using the title as bait to deceive Qi Xiangwen's ancestral property was the first step. When Qi Xiangwen came back, she put pressure on her as her legitimate mother and elder, so Qi Xiangwen could not drive her out. There were so many children and grandchildren in the Bo Mansion that they could always cultivate a talented person.

Qi Xiangwen has only one son and is a playboy who likes to do business and has never entered the officialdom. What can she do? At that time, she can ask the elders of the clan to come forward and force Qi Xiangwen to pass the title to her grandson on the grounds of "family honor".

Both the title and the ancestral estate have returned to her hands, and Qi Xiangwen is isolated and helpless, so she can let her control it?

She had many plans in her mind, but she never said a word to anyone, including her son. Unexpectedly, she was seen through by this sixth uncle who was over 70 years old.

Uncle Zhongyong didn't know his mother's thoughts. Hearing his sixth uncle's heart-wrenching words, his face immediately became dark, "Uncle Liu, what are you saying? You said I'm not promising, I admit that there is only an empty shell left in the uncle's mansion, and it is also a fact. But no matter how my mother said, they were the wife of the father's third matchmaker and sixth mansion. They were also the wife of the imperial decree. They worked for the Qi mansion for most of their life, gave birth to children, and worked hard and made great contributions. How could you slander her like this?"

The sixth uncle sneered repeatedly, "Slander? If she had a clear conscience, why would she be speechless? If she deserved the wife of the imperial edict given by the previous emperor, why would she teach you such a mediocre talent? She also worked hard and made great contributions. Yes, her greatest contribution was to forcing your brother away, enduring your father to death, raising you, a prodigal son, and making the entire Qi family chaotic. Such "excellent merits" are really worthy of "remembering" to my descendants of the Qi family for generations, and "gratitude" and they have to "give respect" after their death, right?"

Bo Zhongyong knew his mother's virtues. When he heard the sarcasm of his sixth uncle, how could he dare to respond? His face turned red.

Mrs. Qi was even more ashamed and angry, "Uncle Six, I know you have always been prejudiced against me, but there is no need to bury me like this in front of the younger generation. No matter how much we fight, it is just for the prosperity of the Qi family for generations. I am his legitimate mother and elder, and I have already given up to this point. What else do he want?"

If a tree really doesn’t have a bark, it will definitely die. If a person doesn’t have a bark, it will be invincible in the world.

The sixth uncle's eyes turned completely cold, "If you feel wronged, then you might as well go to the palace to complain and ask the emperor to make the decision of your step-son, who is "complained but treated harshly by his step-son", and let everyone in the capital come to seek justice for you. There are many things in this world, and there are many people who are "like-minded" with you mother and son. If you have them for your worries, you will not be isolated and helpless, right? I am just a bad old man and can't stop you."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left with great strides.

"Sixth uncle, please wait--"

Seeing that he left resolutely, Zhongyong Bo was panicked and stopped him again. Even the old lady Qi who had been holding her has stood up.

"Don't you think I'm partial and wronged? Then why should I stop me? Anyway, I'm so gentle and I can't help you. You have to take this empty lord as an arrow, and I have nothing to say. Anyway, I'm an old man, and I haven't lived for a few years, and the honor and disgrace of the family can't hinder me. I'll just go home and enjoy a happy life. These broken things in your uncle's mansion have nothing to do with me."

He said that he wanted to turn away the loyal and brave uncle.

Mrs. Qi was angry and anxious. Seeing that he was really determined, she gritted her teeth and gave in and said, "Thirty percent, this is my final concession, and we must live in the Bo Mansion. As long as he agrees, I immediately ask Xiang Yu to write a memorial and ask him to be named Zhongyong Bo."

The sixth uncle didn't say anything for a long time.

A light rose in Mrs. Qi's eyes. Just when she thought the sixth uncle would definitely agree to go to the peace, the sixth uncle slowly turned around, his eyes full of disappointment, "I really regret going to this trip for you."

Then he pushed away the Zhongyong Bo and stepped out of the door.

Mrs. Qi and Zhongyong were both stunned.

The former felt that he had already given up again and again. Qi Xiangwen took advantage of it, and he felt wronged. The sixth uncle had nothing to say. Unexpectedly, he angered the sixth uncle and left. The latter saw the determination in the sixth uncle's eyes and panic.

"Mother."

In a panic, Zhongyong Bo instinctively looked up at his mother.

Mrs. Qi's face turned pale and her whole body was trembling with anger.

"Old guy, bastard, bastard..."

She was so angry that she cursed, her whole body was trembling, and the beads on her head were shaking, making a crisp sound.

Bo Zhongyong came forward in panic and helped him, "Mother, please calm down..."

Mrs. Qi had long disappeared from her previous appearance, and her face was terrifyingly distorted.

"Qi Xiangwen! Qi Xiangwen! If not, if not..." She gritted her teeth, and said viciously and unwillingly: "I shouldn't have let him leave the capital alive!"

But no matter how she scolded her, no one responded.

The sixth uncle said that he would ignore it no matter whether it was really, and let the mother and son make trouble. Anyway, he had done his best.

Mrs. Qi has been strong all her life, but this time she had no choice but to bow her head, so why would she give in again? Zhongyong Bo has never had any opinion, but he wanted to give in, but his mother didn't let him go, so he was so stiff.

The sixth uncle was angry and left, and his mother refused to let go. He was depressed and went out. As he walked, he walked into the gambling house.

Once you go in, you can't get out.

He owed gambling debts.

Twenty thousand taels!

This was nothing to the Qi family in the past, 20,000 taels were nothing to the Qi family. But now, it was a huge number. Originally, he was an earl, and most people dared not do anything to him. But he was not very capable, and he was only a short title and had no real power. Besides, this gambling house also has a background. If the quarrel starts, he will have to sue and naturally he will not dare to speak out.

When Mrs. Qi found out, she almost fainted.

There was no choice but to spend money to redeem people. A family in the mansion could actually make up 20,000 taels, but they had to pay the women's dowry. How could it be? Several concubines immediately cried and wanted to go back to their parents' home.

Mrs. Qi must not let them make trouble, otherwise this matter would be foul.

Helplessly, she had to use the only shop left by the Zhonggong to redeem the person. But people disliked those shops who suffered serious losses and could not be reborn. They were also a loss-making business, so they didn't want to do so at all. In a word, as long as they were real money, they would go to Jingzhao Yin to report to the official position.

Mrs. Qi's trick of playing tricks in the inner house was useless, and all the daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law around her could only cry.

What to do now?

She went to ask the clans for help, but those clans didn't like her at all, especially after seeing that she didn't even take her sixth uncle seriously and said wildly, she disliked her even more and refused to let her in.

The desperate Mrs. Qi finally tasted the taste of betrayal of relatives. When she entered a desperate situation, she had to compromise with Qi Xiangwen.

In this way, the Qi family and his son embarked on the road back to Beijing.

The servant of the Yan family was carrying a letter and asked about the Jiang family in the capital while changing horses in the inn. Qi Ji heard it. The Jiang family now has something to do with the Xiao family, and it almost became the husband's family of his good brother and wife.

The second young master Qi felt that this matter was extraordinary and had to be managed.

This guide asked the whole story.

Who is Mr. Qi? He is in every way and hasn't seen anyone before? He is the most slick and smart. He knows that there is something wrong with this matter when he hears it. Since there is something wrong, he naturally needs to check it. This letter naturally falls into his hands.
