Chapter 361
Mr. Qi'er's expression was a little confused, as if he had not reacted for a moment. Who was the culprit that Mr. Qi said?
"You..." Master Qi suddenly felt more and more frustrated, but looking at the second master's expression, he thought that Master Qi had just learned that the son he had always been proud of was not his flesh and blood. Their mother Rong was smart and capable, but she had kept such a big deal from her son for more than 20 years. Unconsciously, she also felt a little sympathetic to this younger brother, so she slowed down her tone a little.
"If you don't control the people in your own room, you will be brave enough to cause such a disaster. The Qi family is almost destroyed by this woman. Although it is because of the old lady, we have been forgiven. But she cannot keep it."
The second master then realized that the eldest master was talking about Mrs. Qi, and he couldn't help feeling guilty and sad. He and Mrs. Qi had been married for many years, and seemed to have had some loving time. Although they were not close, they were considered to be respectful. He hated her, but she was the mother of his children.
But he knew that the master said it was right, and Mrs. Qi Er could not keep it no matter what.
"As soon as my brother told me." Mr. Qi Er was dumbfounded like a puppet.
"It is your soft temper that indulges her like this."
The eldest master was very dissatisfied with the second master's attitude, but he knew this younger brother's temper. However, since he had already separated, after the Rong family's funeral was completed, the two families must be separated completely.
…………
The woodshed in the backyard of the Qi Nian Hall was pitch black. Mrs. Qi Er curled up in the corner. Her abdomen was empty and her whole body was almost frozen. Fortunately, her mind was awake.
She was kneeling in the yard of Yinian's residence, but later Rong passed away. Everyone was busy with the funeral. She thought she was annoying and locked her in the woodshed.
I was cold, hungry, and scared. Although I returned to the mansion from Dali Temple, I still seemed to be locked in that jail without seeing the light.
After staying in prison in Dali Temple for three days, she was taken to the hall for trial. When she saw the torture instrument, she was almost incontinent. The official above said whatever she asked her. Although she was still beaten, she was not really tortured.
She is a delicacy of mountains and seas, and she is used to having soft pillows on a high bed. How can she swallow the thick steamed buns and cold water there? She doesn't eat, drink, or sleep, and is afraid. She is so scared that she can live like a year. She thought she would die, but she was saved. It turns out that she should not die.
She had figured it out that even without the Xian Guifei in the palace and the Qi Mansion became an ordinary family, she still had money, two sons, Qi Ru and Qi Yi, as well as grandsons and granddaughters. Even if she could not be as rich as she used to be, she would not live too badly, and she must live well.
,
A series of footsteps sounded outside, the door creaked and opened, and the faint light of the lantern shone in from the door,
Mrs. Qi Er smelled the scent of the food and couldn't help but move. Finally someone brought her food. Smelling the scent, I was afraid that the food was a bit crude, but now she is hungry, so she can just give it a moment.
The eldest lady was covered in filial piety and appeared at the door with a few mothers. She glanced into the woodshed, took out a veil and covered her nose.
"You send the things in, and I won't go in." The eldest lady ordered.
An old lady brought two trays to Mrs. Qi Er.
Mrs. Qi Er saw the food on the tray at first sight, and her eyes lit up, but when she saw what was on the other tray, her heart sank to the bottom.
She knew too well what it meant with a white silk and a muddy glass of wine.
"Madam, please change my clothes." Mrs. Qi Er struggled, "Let me keep my spirits for the old lady and be filial. I am willing to serve the old lady for three years to kill the old lady."
The eldest lady curled her lips unconsciously when she heard this.
"Bah, you are worthy of filial piety for the old lady. If it weren't for you, the old lady would be afraid she would still live well. The Qi Mansion would not be able to bear the filial wife like you."
Mrs. Qi Er knew that she was in the wrong, so she had to endure it at this time.
"The old lady saved my life. I am willing to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name all my life and bless the old lady to ascend to immortality."
"You think you are beautiful." The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Qi Er contemptuously, knowing that she wanted to survive. "The old lady went to the palace not to save you, but to save the eldest, second master, and second master. The old lady wished you could die in Dali Temple."
"The old lady feels sorry for me." Mrs. Qi Er decided, "Even if I did something wrong, she will always forgive me. I am also filial to the old lady."
The eldest lady couldn't help but get angry and told the mother around her to "spise her for me."
Sure enough, an old lady walked to Mrs. Qi Er's side and spited thick phlegm on Mrs. Qi Er's face.
"You, how dare you..." Mrs. Qi Er was vomited all over her face without any defense.
The eldest lady pointed at Mrs. Qi Er, "You still have the face to say that the old lady loves you. Think about what you did. Because the old lady loves you, you will anger the old lady to death. This is your filial piety. This is how you repay the old lady. You are also from the whole family, why don't these servants know their shame?"
Mrs. Qi Er endured the humiliation and wanted to continue to impress the eldest wife.
"Madam, let's have a sister-in-law, I will always be good for you. At this age, I will allow me to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name in the future. Just look at the old man, the fifth master, Zhang Ge'er, Zhen Jie'er and others, so I can't let them lose their mother and grandmother."
"Tsk tsk, so shameless." The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Qi Er, "You are not stupid, why don't you understand the power. The emperor spared everyone by looking at the old lady's face. You made trouble on Tai Sui's head and gave the Queen Mother. If you are alive, this family will inevitably be in trouble sooner or later. If you really love your children and grandchildren, you should have thought of a way to kill them and will still be relied on this day."
Mrs. Qi Er said silently. How could she not understand this truth? But she really didn't want to die.
"Second Mrs., if you still understand something, if you really care about your grandchildren, you will make a decision early. We have a sister-in-law, and I don't want to make things difficult for you." The eldest wife pointed to the two trays, "These food is sent to you on the way. You can choose the same two by yourself. You can stop the servants from helping you and not be good at looking at them."
Mrs. Qi Er retreated to the corner.
"No, you can't force me. The emperor and the queen mother have pardoned me, why do you want me to die?"
"What does it have to do with me?" said the eldest lady, "I am a stupid person. Over the years, people in this mansion have said you are good, and I am not good, and the old lady doesn't like me either. But speaking of it, I have never been stained with blood on my hands. You almost killed the eldest master, which made me exiled. I hate you in my heart, but I don't want to stain your blood. This is the decision of the eldest master and the second master, the Qi family."
"I am the legitimate girl from the Marquis' Mansion, the second wife of the head of Duke Anguo's Mansion..."
"Don't mention the majesty of the past. Even if you leave a way out for your children and grandchildren, I will give you some dignity. You will make a decision by yourself and someone will come to deal with it tomorrow. Don't worry, if you have a sister-in-law, you will die, I will try my best to arrange your affairs after you."
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she turned around and left the woodshed. The women put the things on the floor of the woodshed, left another candle and retreated, and locked the door of the woodshed again.
In the woodshed, the faint light of the candle was leaping, as Mrs. Qi Er's hideous face was found.
"The emperor has pardoned me. If I don't die, you can still force me. I have a son and grandson. I also want Yi'er and Hao'er to have grandsons for me... Whoever dares to do anything, my son will avenge me."
The woman guarding outside the woodshed heard Mrs. Qi Er's words clearly and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"All women are all women. Look at the old lady treats her children and grandchildren, and then look at this second wife. Hey, she is really a kind of person who raises a hundred kinds of people."
"No, even if she died at this time, the uncle and fifth master were destroyed by her."
"It's not just the uncle and the fifth master, but when the lights were just in hand, the seventh aunt sent the seventh aunt back."
"Are you here to pay your respects?"
"I'm afraid it's not. At that time, they watched the mansion prosper and formed this marriage. Now, I'm afraid there are some... Aunt Li cried in front of the master, oh..."
"Why are you crying..."
"You are stupid. The seventh aunt is outside the door and has never entered the mansion. She is wearing colored clothes. I am afraid that I will divorce my seventh aunt."
"ah……"
…………
Qi Mansion Yi Nian Living
All Rong's cages were moved out and placed in the hall. The eldest lady sat on the cage in the middle, watching people open the cages one by one to check points.
"All of them are here?" asked the eldest wife.
"When I go back to my wife, I'm here. Madam, look at how you arrange it, or you'll move to Yangnian Hall. This funeral is messy and easy to take care of." Grandma Qi smiled.
The eldest lady glanced at Grandma Qi, didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Who is in the old lady's dowry, and there are some land and houses in her hands?" the eldest lady asked again.
Madam Jiang brought this account book and sent it over.
"The old lady has already arranged it."
…………
Yang Nian Hall
"The land and houses were handed over to the fourth couple, and our house was not at all." The eldest wife handed the account book to the eldest son and said.
"We inherited the ancestral property. It's nothing that the old lady will give her dowry to fill the second house." said the master.
"The third master also wants to live a life, so there is no one with him? Isn't he the flesh and blood of the Qi family?"
The master pondered, Rong has become increasingly disliked Qi Jian in recent years.
"It's okay, the old man is always a little partial. However, the fourth brother is not the family of Qi, but he is in charge of the land and houses for the old lady. I'm afraid it's inappropriate." said the eldest lady.
"At this time, you still have these thoughts!" the master scolded.
"Master, am I thinking about myself? If I don't be a family, I don't know how expensive it is. In the future, everyone will have nothing to do and just sit and eat the whole country. It's probably difficult to think about it as free as before. If I don't be careful at this time, how can I live in the future? Am I thinking about the master and my children and grandchildren..."
