Chapter 311(1/2)
"What a good idea!" Qi Wanrong asked.
Feng Dengke leaned into Qi Wanrong's ear and whispered for a while.
Qi Wanrong's face turned pale when she heard this, "If this... I won't beheaded, I'm afraid I will implicate the people in this mansion. If I can't do it or not, my second wife will not agree."
"What are you afraid of? If there is a prince in the womb of the empress, it will be fine if the sky falls. It can be like this, but it will be just to knock him down. Our aunt is comfortable and we will also benefit. Think about it, they enjoy their own happiness, but let us suffer hardships in Pingxi Town again. They are ruthless. Why should we tell him any affection? Don't worry, it won't take his life. If you listen to me and go and discuss with your aunt, your aunt will definitely be happy."
"This...it's really nothing wrong, right?" Qi Wanrong hesitated.
"Don't you believe me?" Feng Dengke narrowed his eyes.
"I believe in you."
"What are you afraid of? Everything is mine." Feng Dengke rubbed Qi Wanrong's waist and sweared, "You just wait to be the general's wife and enjoy your happiness. Even if you can't give birth to a child, you will always be the only one in my heart."
Qi Wanrong thought about it and finally nodded.

After listening to the show, Xun Qingran was a little tired, so she quietly retreated from the table. Everyone knew that she had a body, so they didn't care.
"Fifth Sister?" When Qi Wanrong came hurriedly, Xun Qingran called out, "Is this going there? Why didn't I listen to the opera?"
Qi Wanrong was walking in a hurry, but she didn't see Xun Qingran, so she was stunned for a moment.
"Si, Sisi Sister-in-law, I was a little bored just now and I dispersed in the garden." Qi Wanrong said with a smile.
"Oh, this opera is so nice today. Sister Wu goes in quickly." Xun Qingran said.
Qi Wanrong responded repeatedly and went up to the mat.
"Looking at the fifth aunt, her eyes flashed, I didn't know, I thought I had become a thief." Jin Ling laughed softly.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xun Qingran said angrily.
"Mrs. Wu looks a little strange. She seems to be very guilty when she sees her grandmother." Madam Xu turned around and looked at the table.
Qi Wanrong was sitting next to Mrs. Qi Er, peeling fruit for Mrs. Qi Er.
…………
Aunt Zheng’s birthday drink was held for two days. After the birthday drink was held, Zheng Yuanshuo’s marriage was settled, and he was the eldest girl from the Qian family.
"It looks great. Brother Shuo has seen it and is very satisfied. He is a match with us, and the two families know the truth. No matter how good they are, they are not." Aunt Zheng was very satisfied with the marriage.
Zheng Haoer's marriage also became famous. The other party was the only son of the Hanlin Academy's attendant, and he already had the reputation of being a juren, so he was waiting to be the test list. Now because of Zheng Yuanshuo's affairs, he planned to finish Zheng Yuanshuo's affairs first and then engage Zheng Haoer. Both parties were very interested. Although they had not made up their minds, they knew that this matter must be done.
"That's the appearance of the eldest girl of Qian's family is nothing." Ning Yuanju, Xun Qingran and Qi You were talking to each other, "It's just that kind of personality." Xun Qingran remembered the unconcealed look of the eldest girl of Zheng's family. She was not stage frightened, but a little abrupt. "I'm afraid it's not docile. Alas, I haven't gotten along with each other, and I don't like to comment. But my aunt is easy to get along with."
"You are used to worrying." Qi You stretched out his hand and pinched Xun Qingran's face, which was much more rounded.
When it comes to worrying, Xun Qingran thought of another thing.
"Cousin Lang should be re-standed," Xun Qingran said.
Qi You looked at Xun Qingran.
Xun Qingran coughed twice, "There is such a thing..." Xun Qingran said to Qi You like this, "I hesitated in my heart, I don't know what to do."
"It's indeed a bit embarrassed." Qi You nodded.
"But you can't just get out of the way," Xun Qingran said firmly, "I'll first find a way to ask about their thoughts, if..."
Qi You looked at Xun Qingran's careful planning and laughed unconsciously.
Early that morning, Qi You had breakfast and went out again, while Xun Qingran took Fusheng and Xuan'er to play on the low couch next to the window.
Suddenly I heard a mess of footsteps outside.
"What is Madam Zhang doing? She led these people into it and scared the fourth grandma and the little masters. Can you bear it?" It was Madam Xu's voice that blocked those people in the yard.
"Scared? This is also considered scared? We came at the order of the master and the wife. Please ask the fourth grandma to follow us immediately. If you don't let go, don't blame us for being rude." It was Madam Zhang's voice.
Xun Qingran frowned slightly. Through the window, she saw Madam Zhang and Wangcai's family standing outside with more than a dozen big-sleeved and round-waisted women standing in the yard. If Madam Xu hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed to the upper room.
"What happened?" Xun Qingran got off the couch, walked to the door, and asked.
"It's a huge matter. Master and the wife asked the servant to come and take the fourth grandma over there." Madam Zhang smiled slightly and said no. Although she was respectful, her attitude was not that true. The Wangcai family followed Madam Zhang and refused to step forward, but only smiled with her.
Xun Qingran glanced behind Madam Zhang. Her posture was not like someone who came to pass a message, but like someone who came to search the house.
It must be no trivial matter to come like this. Xun Qingran suddenly felt tired, but she immediately shook her head and drove away. She should not be tired. She is her wife and mother, and she wants to protect her home.
"Madam, wait, I'll change my clothes and come." Xun Qingran said.
"Grandma's outfit is very good, and she doesn't need to change it. The eldest master, the second master, the eldest wife, the second wife, the second wife, the whole family is waiting for her grandma." Madam Zhang said coldly.
Xun Qingran's heart sank. If it were just Mrs. Qi Er, she would not take it seriously. But now, what kind of thing happened? This time it actually alarmed the whole family?
"The nanny is also an old man in the mansion. Since she is the master and the wives are here, she must not be without etiquette." Xun Qingran said lightly.
"This..." Madam Zhang saw Xun Qingran's expression calm, while Ning Yuanju's servants were eyeing her. She had suffered a loss and held a grudge in her heart, but she was also a little afraid.
Wangcai's family was busy laughing, "The nanny was the order of the master and the wives, and what the fourth grandma said was reasonable. The fourth grandma just changed her clothes and didn't take much time. I would also ask the fourth grandma to hurry up, just to cherish the servants."
Madam Zhang glanced at Wangcai's family and felt a little dissatisfied. This wife was too slippery.
Xun Qingran did not dare to neglect her clothes, so she quickly changed her clothes and left a few people to take care of Xuan'er and Fusheng. She only brought Madam Xu, Jin Ling and a few mother-in-law, and followed Madam Zhang and others to come out of Ning Yuanju.
Xun Qingran left the house, and Madam Zhang asked the mothers to guard the door of Ning Yuanju, and told them that none of them could be let go.
"What is Madam doing? The escort of the prisoner is just like this. Is Madam Fourth still at her own home?" Madam Xu sneered and stopped Madam Zhang.
Xun Qingran looked at Madam Zhang coldly.
Madam Zhang had a cold war and subconsciously shrank back. However, she immediately thought of this different from the past, so she straightened her back again.
"It was the wife's order, how can a slave be the master?" said Madam Zhang.
"You are very happy to take care of Brother and Sister. If anyone dares to break into Ningyuanju and scare them, they will be regarded as the main culprit and deal with it immediately." Xun Qingran raised his voice and ordered Kikyo and others, "What happened, I will be responsible for my fourth master."
Platycodon and others responded in unison.
The girls and mothers in Ningyuanju were trained by Pingxi Town. In contrast, the women on Madam Zhang were just a bit thicker and had a clear disadvantage in their momentum.
The Wangcai family still came forward to smooth things over, and Madam Zhang had to take a step back and thought to herself that as long as she brought Xun Qingran over and let people look at Ning Yuanju and not lose the population, her mission will be completed and she can breathe a sigh of relief. She wants to see how long Xun Qingran can be tough.
The crowd came to the Hall of Prayer for the Year in a mighty way.
The front hall of the prayer hall was already full of people at this time. Xun Qingran looked up and saw that the Qi family's eldest master, the second master, the eldest wife, the second wife, Qi Xiu, Qi Jian, the eldest grandmother Qi, and even the Qi family's eldest brother Qi Ru, who rarely appeared, were all present.
"My servant brought the fourth grandma." Madam Zhang stepped forward and bowed to report.
The second wife waved her hand and asked Madam Zhang to retreat aside.
Xun Qingran hurriedly went forward, bent her knees slightly to pay tribute to all the elders.
"I wonder what happened?" Xun Qingran asked.
"You have caused such a disaster and come to ask us. We have sent someone to find Lao Si. Now the family is here, it depends on how you explain it." Mrs. Qi Er took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Xun Qingran was confused.
"The wife ordered someone to come and asked someone to guard Ning Yuanju's gate, so that she would not let anyone enter or leave, for fear that Ning Yuanju's people would escape. The wife was frightened and really didn't know what happened. Please tell her clearly." Xun Qingran said.
Mr. Qi Er sat on it. After listening to Xun Qingran's words, he glanced at Mrs. Qi Er, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
Mrs. Qi Er's face turned stiff.
"You are still pretending to be confused here. You are not arrogant and have become officials outside. I won't mention how many things you have done outside. How dare you be brave and do this important thing about raiding the family and extermination of the clan, and how can you bear it?" said Mrs. Qi Er.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xun Qingran.
If you go out to be an official, you will only be Pingxi Town, and you will be raided and exterminated your family. So what if you say, but this family gathered here, it would be impossible for Mrs. Qi to be the only trick. Xun Qingran frowned slightly.
"Master, Madam, Rong Nucai dared to say something. Grandma Fourth is now pregnant. The old lady has given orders early to spare the Fourth Grandma from all the greetings. Now I want to ask Grandma Fourth Grandma if I want to sit down and say it first." Grandma Xu stepped forward and bowed.
"Yes, the matter is unknown now, and my brother and sister are still pregnant." Grandma Qi stood up and said.
"Well, sit down and talk." The eldest lady nodded first.
Xun Qingran sat on the embroidery pier next to him, and Madam Xu and Jin Ling and others stood around Xun Qingran, and the room seemed even more crowded for a moment.
"The Fourth Master is diligent in his official career and has never done anything corruption or abuse of power. He has been praised by the emperor many times. His wife is in the inner house, but she just does housework and does some needlework. Where is the family raid? What happened? Please let the wife make it clear, so everyone can discuss it."
"How can my younger brother and sister know about the outside world in the inner house? For this matter, it is better to wait for the fourth brother to come back and ask the fourth brother." Qi Ru said slowly.
"She doesn't know anything else, but she must know about it." Mrs. Qi Er glared at her eldest son, then pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve and threw it on the ground. "Now she is still stubborn, look at what this is?"
Madam Xu stepped forward, picked up the paper, and handed it to Xun Qingran to watch.
Xun Qingran looked at it and couldn't help but frown.
The paper is covered with small fly-headed calligraphy, but it is a secret copy of impeachment of Qi You. The secret copy says that Qi You colluded with a rebel in Pingxi Town and intended to rebel. He also kept Qi You Ning Xin and Ying Ze in the Governor's Office. When the matter of the guest of honor was very detailed, the signature did not have a name. I don't know if it was an anonymous copy, or the person who copied the copy deliberately missed the name.
Xun Qingran's face remained unchanged, but her heart was rumbling. The person who wrote the memorial was clearly aware of the matter at the Governor's Office. He was definitely not from outside, but from the insider. Who would this insider be? How did Mrs. Qi Er get this secret copy? Since there was a copy, what was the original secret copy?
"Where did the madam get this?" Xun Qingran asked.
Many people in the house felt a little relieved when they saw Xun Qingran being calm.
"It was the old aide of the master. I happened to see it and copied it out. I just handed it to me." Mrs. Qi Er said, "Let me tell me, is this true?"
"Grandma Four, is this secret matter real? You really took in Prince Yonghe's remnants in Pingxi Town?" The eldest lady leaned over and asked anxiously.
