A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Seeing that Qi Huan was at a loss, Gu Zhan laughed and teased: "I didn't see it before, but your cousin is a ruthless person."

Qi Huan collected his mind, looked at him, and said bitterly: "Although part of human nature is innate, the fact that Qi Yuanming has become what he is now is not unrelated to the precepts and deeds of my second uncle and aunt. If it weren't for them Coveting the title of the Marquis Mansion, and always harboring the illusion that my father can be abolished and replaced, Qi Yuanming will at least keep his feet on the ground and restrain himself."

The reason why Qi Wenang had such ambitions had a lot to do with the old man Qi Zhengyu's selfishness and partiality.

As the saying goes, marrying the wrong daughter-in-law ruins three generations. This principle applies to men——

no less!

If you don't hold yourself upright, you will more or less subtly harm your children and grandchildren.

Before the specific causes and consequences of the matter are fully understood, the two cannot make a comprehensive conclusion for the time being.

As for the Fu Yin's mansion, they didn't know how long Cen and the others would see the outcome of the quarrel. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two of them came out with tea money.

With things in mind, Qi Huan didn't have much interest in eating, drinking and having fun, so Qi Huan directly dragged Gu Zhan back to the inn.

At that time, in the mansion of the prefect, because Mrs. Cen suddenly fainted, it was inevitable that the second master of the Cen family, who was the head of the family, would be alarmed.

When he rushed over after hearing the news, Mrs. Cen had joined hands with Jane's mother to help Mrs. Cen to the couch.

Cen Huiyuan was so frightened, and her mother fell ill because of her anger, she didn't even dare to go to Mrs. Cen Er, hiding in the corner and weeping in panic.

While the house was in a mess, Mother Jian was still thinking clearly, worried about her reputation, she didn't ask the maids and women tied up in the yard to come in to help, but only told them to call the master, and then continue to lock her up The door, try not to let the news leak out.

When the second master Cen rushed over, the second wife had already been woken up by Jane's mother pinching someone.

It's just that she was stimulated, and she was a little weak at the moment, unable to move, lying on the couch and weeping sadly.

"What's going on?" Second Master Cen keenly scanned all the people in the room when he entered the room, and when he saw his shameful daughter, his expression darkened involuntarily.

But in front of Cen and others, he quickly restrained his expression.

Mrs. Cen couldn't get up the strength to speak, and at the same time it was even more difficult to speak, so she gritted her teeth and looked away.

Seeing this, Jane's mother stepped forward on her behalf, pulled Second Master Cen aside and bit his ear, and roughly explained the situation.

Originally, it was enough to annoy him that his daughter was mingling with his nephew regardless of shame, but in any case, the meat was rotten in the pot. It turned out to be a complete wild species...

Second Master Cen also couldn't help being dizzy and furious.

"You..." Huo De turned his head to look at his daughter who was hiding far away and standing in the corner of the room.

But when the words came to his lips, he knew that it was unnecessary to question now, because just looking at his daughter's reaction and expression, he knew that something must be true, but he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, his face was ashen.

Mrs. Cen is doing nothing right now, seeing Mrs. Cen lying sickly, she stepped forward with a worried look on her face and asked, "Sister-in-law must have been very angry just now, do you want to invite a doctor to come over and take a look?" See?"

Master Cen took a look at his wife, but he gritted his teeth and restrained his temper.

Seeing him looking over, Mrs. Cen Er struggled to get up: "No, I'm already much better."

Jane's mother hurried forward to help her.

Master Cen took a look at his younger sister's family of three, and softened his tone a little: "Your sister-in-law is eager to protect her daughter. If you say something that is too much, I believe you can understand. I will take their mother and daughter back first, and you can also appease Brother Ming. Come on."

There was already a rift between Cen and his second sister-in-law, but it was not too much to blame his second brother, although——

She also knew very well that her brother-in-law must have tacitly approved her sister-in-law's arrogance.

She is also in a difficult situation in the Qi family now. If she falls out with her natal family again, the life of the three of them will only be more difficult in the future.

Cen nodded: "They are all parents, I can understand."

As she said that, she looked at Cen Huiyuan, who was shivering with compassion, and sighed: "Sister Yuan is also pitiful. After all, she can't be blamed for this matter. Second brother, don't embarrass the child too much."

It's fine if you don't say this, but if you say it, it's almost like a slap in the face.

Master Cen's face darkened again, and he scolded his daughter: "You don't want to leave the embarrassing thing?"

Cen Huiyuan didn't dare to disobey him, she bit her lip and left with tears in her eyes.

After they left, Mother Xu closed the door again with great winking, and stood guard outside.

But they didn't know that after Master Cen and his party left the yard, the man's eyes became more gloomy and sharp, and he ordered his followers in a deep voice: "Ask people to guard this yard from the outside, don't disturb them, but don't let them go casually." leave."

The attendant didn't ask much, and went to work as promised.

Cen Huiyuan was only concerned about being frightened, and didn't think much about it, but Mrs. Cen frowned instinctively, and turned her head to look at him suspiciously.

Master Cen didn't say much, and continued to lead the mother and daughter back to his outer study, which was also located in the front yard.

When Cen Huiyuan entered the door, she knelt down and kowtowed, and confessed her crimes in tears: "Father, my daughter knew her mistake, I... I didn't hide it intentionally, I was just afraid."

The two Cen family members are naturally very angry, but this incident has already happened. Even if they beat and scolded their daughter, they even forced her to death...

What can it be used for?

Although being raped by thugs is far more embarrassing than Qi Yuanming, who has a similar family background, having a head and a tail, but the former daughter is just a complete victim, and the latter is really self-inflicted and deserves it.

At this moment, Mrs. Cen was more concerned about her daughter, and the tears rolled down unexpectedly.

Master Cen Er was very calm, but said in a deep voice with sullen expression: "Okay, don't cry now, what is the cause and effect of this, there are no outsiders here, you and me and your mother can explain it clearly."

Cen Huiyuan was actually ashamed to speak out because the situation was so unbearable.

Second Madam Cen also looked at her husband distressedly, but hesitated to speak.

But the second master Cen has a firm attitude, neither the wife dared to disobey him.

Cen Huiyuan spent a long time accumulating courage before telling the truth: "On that night in the back mountain meditation room of Baoxiang Temple, the silver bell was knocked out in the middle of the night, and then someone broke into the room."

Yinling is her personal maid, the kind who is inseparable.

But when she goes out as the daughter of a government official, she won't just bring a maid by her side.

Mrs. Cen became suspicious for a moment: "Where's Mama Cheng?"

Why didn't Cen Huiyuan feel that she had suffered a bad luck for eight lifetimes, so she cried again on the spot, aggrieved and angry: "They all slept in other rooms in the courtyard. Say……"

But who would have thought that she would be so unlucky to conceive a child like this.

Mrs. Cen, a mother, couldn't listen to this, and immediately began to surge with anger and blood, and wanted to smash things to vent her anger.

It was Master Cen who asked again: "Didn't you see that man's appearance?"

"It's a black light..." Cen Huiyuan was so frightened at the time that she almost didn't remember any details, and she didn't even want to recall such a humiliating experience, "I wanted to call someone, but then I was stunned too. "

As he spoke, he covered his face and began to cry.

Mrs. Cen Er was annoyed by her crying, but she had no choice but to stare sideways at Master Cen Er beside her with a begging face.

Master Cen remained silent for a moment with a cold expression on his face, but he still persisted and asked again: "You don't even want to tell us about this, so how did you get on line with Brother Ming and persuade him to help you? "

Cen Huiyuan still didn't think much about it, and just said truthfully: "On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, I met my cousin in the garden. Because of the snow, my foot slipped a little, and he helped me..."

Her belly will be five months soon.

It has been benefited from the fact that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the clothes are worn more and more, so they are covered.

But in fact, in the past few months after the accident, she didn't think about food and drink, she lost a lot of weight, but her belly was swollen, and Qi Yuanming just touched her belly with his help, so she could obviously feel the difference.

Cen Huiyuan whimpered and said, "I beg my cousin not to say anything, but at that time the Zhou family was about to come to discuss the date of engagement, and I couldn't hide it for two days... At that time, I wanted to commit suicide because I couldn't think about it, so my cousin said He helped me get there. I had no other choice at the time, we...we found my mother together..."

She was desperate at the time, and Qi Yuanming was her life-saving straw, so she grabbed it without hesitation.

Originally, Qi Yuanming was the culprit. As long as the two families get married smoothly, this matter can be completely concealed, but who ever thought that her own mother would be aggressive to find Qi Yuanming's bad luck, and forced Qi Yuanming to put her down.

For Qi Yuanming, Cen Huiyuan was very sorry, but she was at fault first, and she couldn't blame her mother, so she just cried more violently.

The second master Cen got angry from her crying, and he snapped: "What's the use of crying now? You will rot in my stomach if you die, together with the piece of meat in your stomach... Go back to the room and clean up, I will call someone Send you to Zhuangzi."

Just explaining to his daughter, he looked at his wife again: "Find a more stable wife, get side drugs, and beat this bastard."

Cen Huiyuan had seen her mother and her aunt in the house have a miscarriage, and the heart-piercing pain made her terrified.

Her crying stopped abruptly, and she subconsciously covered her stomach.

Mrs. Cen also showed hesitation: "The risk of forced abortion is too great, or the master and I will go to my sister to apologize and apologize, so I can talk about it..."

Since Qi Yuanming had agreed to marry his daughter and helped to cover it up, he kept his family low and begged him. This matter should continue according to the original idea. It's okay to dispose of it after birth, it's safer to let it fall when it's ripe than to forcibly slip the tire.

But Second Master Cen knows that children cannot be born!
Women are naturally soft-hearted, and when they see their children, they are afraid that they will be reluctant to part with their daughters who have not experienced much in the world.

and--

With a gloomy expression on his face, he glanced at his wife and daughter coldly: "That boy Qi Yuanming came from the Marquis of Changning, do you think he is some kind-hearted person with a simple mind? There may be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this helping hand." Well, this kind of handle falls into the hands of others, is it to let him hold us hostage for a lifetime?"

After Qi Yuanming's imperial examination, he only found a junior official from the seventh rank and was released. Although the Cen family only said that he was at the bottom of the list, the family didn't want to get too involved, so they asked him to come out first to experience some mixed qualifications. But the couple in the second room of the Cen family didn't think much about it in private...

No matter how you look at it, it seems that he was abandoned and exiled by his family.

If he doesn't have the backing of the Marquis of Changning, and is just a little-known official of the seventh rank, then he really isn't worthy of being his own son-in-law!
Mrs. Cen understood what he meant, but she was still hesitant: "But our sister Yuan is not what it used to be now, brother Ming knows everything..."

The main reason is that Qi Yuanming is willing to take over this mess.

She didn't even need to ask about her own natal Zhou's family. If she knew that Cen Huiyuan lost her body and was pregnant with a bastard whose father was unknown, she would still have to turn against her and never even think about getting married.

Seeing this, Master Cen finally had to reveal all his cards to the mother and daughter.

A cold look appeared in his eyes: "I've made it clear to you that in the current situation of Sister Yuan, there is absolutely no man in the world who can tolerate her magnanimously. It's strange for Qi Yuanming to rush forward like this. , maybe he was the one who fiddled with this disaster from beginning to end!"

Cen Huiyuan's tears stopped abruptly.

Second Madam Cen jumped up.

Both mother and daughter looked at the head of the family, Master Cen Er, with expressions of horror.

Second Madam Cen began to recall various details——

Cen Huiyuan happened on August [-]th, and Qi Yuanming arrived at her home on August [-]th, so they came to tell me that they had sex after drinking on Mid-Autumn Festival, and they were pregnant for four and a half months. I just believed that they happened during the mid-autumn festival when Qi Yuanming came to the house for the festival, and what's more, it was just a coincidence that Cen Huiyuan's belly fell into Qi Yuanming's hands by such a coincidence?

Although there is no evidence, but once there is doubt, start to deduce the clues in reverse...

All of this seems to have become traceable.

Cen Huiyuan was dumbfounded, staring blankly at a loss.

Mrs. Cen got angry and wanted to go out: "I'll find them!"

It's no wonder that when he just came out of the guest courtyard, the head of the family ordered to guard the courtyard and not let the three of Qi's mother and son go away.

"There is no proof, no evidence, are you still planning to torture and torture?" Master Cen grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Mrs. Cen couldn't help being angry: "If he really did it, then he ruined our daughter's life. Are you going to let it go like this? I can't swallow this breath!"

"Could it be that I have been in the officialdom for so many years for nothing? How can I allow a young boy to step on my head and plot against me!" Second Master Cen sneered again with confidence, "In short, I don't like this boy, and getting married is absolutely impossible It's over, just pretend you don't know about it, first follow what I said, and make arrangements to send Sister Yuan out of the house."

Cen Huiyuan didn't have an affair with her cousin Qi Yuanming, and her father had been out of office for more than ten years, and they didn't go around much with the Qi family in the capital, and the relatives didn't have a deep relationship. She just thanked Qi Yuanming in desperation Just a helping hand.

But now that she heard that Qi Yuanming was most likely to be an unscrupulous and sinister person, she was scared to death, so naturally she would rather believe it.

"Okay." Mrs. Cen thought for a while, then nodded, and called Mother Jian to come in and help Cen Huiyuan go with her.

The second master Tuliu Cen was sitting alone in the study, with an increasingly gloomy expression on his face.

In the guest courtyard on the other side, as soon as the Cen family and his wife left, Cen finally breathed a sigh of relief, glared at her son with some complaints, and sat back on the chair: "Even if it is to please your uncle, tell him to pull you How can you wrong yourself to do such a thing by helping me in the officialdom? That girl is pregnant with a bastard of unknown origin..."

At this point, she shut up again in embarrassment when she thought that her daughter was also in front of her.

Qi Yuanming had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he didn't care at all.

He paced to the back of the table and sat down, leaned back in the chair leisurely, but didn't say anything.

Qi Xin looked at her mother for a while, and her brother for a while, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, but she was speechless for a while.

Then, Master Cen came back again.

The mother and son all got up quickly.

Cen took the lead in cheering up and saying hello: "Second Brother..."

The Second Master Cen raised his hand, signaling that she doesn't need to be polite, and then said to Qi Yuanming: "Sister Yuan told me the whole story in detail. It was your aunt who said some exaggerated things on the spur of the moment. Don't take it to heart. Come on, I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf."

Qi Yuanming's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, but he maintained a humble and polite salute: "Auntie is an elder, and teaching me as a junior is what should be done. I didn't take it to heart at first. The second uncle's behavior like this is really annoying to my nephew. gone."

He was waiting for his second uncle to ask him, and he was sure to win.

But the Second Master Cen has already looked away again, and said to the Cen family: "Sister Yuan, I asked someone to send her out of the house overnight. We will solve this family scandal by ourselves, but the family scandal cannot be publicized. It is up to you It's better to hide this matter with the children."

Without asking their family for help, Cen breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, but she still showed concern on her face: "I understand this, it's because of that child Yuan'er."

As Cen Huiyuan is the only daughter of the second wife of the Cen family, killing her to silence her would not be an option, but if she is sent out like this, she will either wait for the meat in her stomach to be disposed of and find someone with a lower family status to marry her casually. Or you have to practice at home.

Cen's heart is clear.

Qi Yuanming was greatly disappointed, and suddenly raised his head to look at Master Cen Er.

It was this one glance that completely confirmed his suspicions by Second Master Cen.

The two of them looked at each other, and his eyes froze for a moment.

Qi Yuanming realized in an instant that he had lost his composure, and quickly looked away. At the same time, his heart began to pound with guilt.

However, Master Cen did not continue to chase and fight fiercely, he just told Cen's mother and daughter to take a good rest after traveling and traveling, and then turned around and left.

Qi Yuanming was very upset.

In fact, he can gamble that the meeting of the two eyes just now was just an illusion, but after all, the current situation has made him lose his sense of normalcy long ago. Seeing that a game he carefully laid out has come to naught, he feels unwilling, As soon as my heart broke, I took the initiative to speak again: "Second uncle, when my mother came here, she told the family to discuss the marriage with my cousin. Now this marriage is over. If my mother goes back, if grandfather, father and others ask, How should she explain? You can't tell the whole story about your cousin, can you?"

Master Cen turned around just now, but in fact, is it another temptation?
Seeing him so impatient, he knew it even more.

Turning around, he said with a fake smile: "I have a twelve-year-old daughter at home, if you don't think she is too young, you can settle down."

This was breaking the stage face to face, Qi Yuanming's eyelids twitched violently.

But he is actually not afraid of his second uncle, because he has a fatal handle on the opponent, and if he didn't have such a trump card, he would not dare to design Cen Huiyuan.

Cen's face was directly displeased: "Sister Xie is only a half-grown child, how can we delay her? It's just a reason, and I will make it right."

In fact, she didn't even look down on Cen Huiyuan, the concubine daughter of the Cen family, let alone a concubine daughter, so she was too busy to shirk it, but she never noticed that the atmosphere of eye contact between her brother and son was already tense.

Seeing that her son was silent, she bumped Qi Yuanming with her elbow.

But he didn't want to, Qi Yuanming came back to his senses, but suddenly sneered: "What if we don't want to keep secret about the eldest cousin for uncle you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Cen finally noticed his son's abnormality, and told him to shut up in a low voice.

I wanted to tell Second Master Cen not to be as knowledgeable as his children, but Second Master Cen actually listened to his words, glanced calmly at Qi Xin who was standing beside him and said: "Then we should really get married, we two Let's restrict each other, Sister Xin's reputation is not good now, let your cousin be a concubine, we still have two good ones."

Qi Xin:? ? ?
