A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Yu really thought that as long as the old man dies, she can rely on her seniority to sell her old man and be the master of the family, but such an old woman who can't figure it out...

At any rate, Qi Zhengyu can still see the overall situation clearly, knows who he should restrain himself in front of, and who he can't offend. If he asks Mrs. Yu to let himself go and act like a boss, there will only be countless troubles and endless troubles in the future. mess.

Therefore, her wishful thinking was wrong from the very beginning.

Qi Huan has been waiting for this day ever since Gu Zhan gave her a face-to-face attack earlier, including her merciless showing of mercy to the old lady whenever she encounters troubles, all in order to provoke the other party's desperate resistance.

It can be regarded as fishing law enforcement. Although it is not open and aboveboard, she did not force the knife into the old woman's hands, and she didn't feel wronged.

Seeing that the whole story had been explained clearly, Wei Feng took the initiative to explain to everyone: "After Mother Gu was poisoned, she felt guilty, so she went out of the house and hid in a relative's house for the time being. She took the initiative to recruit everything. According to her, her family and other people around the old lady didn't know about it and never interfered with it."

Xing Luo was afraid that these people would suspect Qi Huan, so he stood up and explained further: "At that time, the eldest lady went to the back room to invite Mrs. Hou over, and found that Madam Gu, who was always inseparable from her, was not there. She felt strange. Then I ordered my servants to call for help to find her."

The stolen goods were captured together, and even Mama Gu, the most powerful witness, was uncovered. Qi Wenjing couldn't bear it anymore.

His face was as deep as water, staring at his old mother: "Mom, are you still killing me? If you insist on insisting that this matter has nothing to do with you, then it is Mama Gu who murdered and robbed you, and even betrayed her master to frame you. There is nothing to worry about. The son will send her to the government for correction!"

Qi Zhengyu is a majestic marquis, and he still has an official position. Mama Gu is accused of murdering him, which cannot be offset by killing and paying for his life, but implicating the whole family is the minimum.

Even if she is already doomed to die now...

She is absolutely unwilling to bear such charges by herself.

So, before Mrs. Yu could open her mouth, she had already yelled in a panic: "Master Mingjian, this servant is a slave who obeys orders, and living with that little monthly money, I would be considered insane There's no point in trying to get the idea of ​​Lord Hou. One is in the sky and the other is in the world. If the Lord Hou wants to crush the slave to death, it's just a matter of one finger. Why should the slave remember to hate the old master for drugging the old master. And...you are borrowing me Ten guts, I dare not. I swear on the lives of my family, this is all the old lady instigated the servant, don't say you want to send me to court, even if you send me to the imperial court, the slave will also be executed on the guillotine. Dare to pat your chest and say that."

Yu also realized that once she went to court, Mama Gu would never bear such a serious crime for her.

At this point, she was already on fire.

Qi Wenjing's words were convincing, although Qi Wenang, Qi Huan and others knew that he was just defrauding the old woman, and he didn't really intend to send her to the government...

Everyone was tacitly aware of it, and they all just stared at Mrs. Yu.

"Yes, I did it, what should I do!" With no way out, Mrs. Yu also went all out, and sat down on the stool again angrily, pointing at her two sons and yelling: "This old man, your Dad has been riding on my neck and domineering all these years. What he knows is that I am the first wife that Qi Zhengyu is marrying, but what he doesn’t know is that I am a beggar who lives in this mansion. He beats and scolds me frequently, Every three days or so, she used divorce as a pretext to suppress me...the daughter-in-law snatched the reward as soon as she entered the door, and put me on hold, so that now..."

Counting the grievances she has suffered in these years, Yu Shi said, tears came down.

While wiping tears and choking with sobs, he pointed at Cen and Yang respectively and yelled: "These are unseemly, those who don't take me seriously, and what's more, openly criticize and point at me. Scolding, even this dead girl..."

She glanced at Qi Huan again, and her eyes were full of resentment and resentment: "You have ridden on my head several times to play wild!"

At the point where she was most angry, Yu blew her nose vigorously, wiped away her tears, and stabbed her neck again: "I just want to stand up and become the master, so I drugged him. If you have the ability, cut him alive Let me avenge your heartless father."

Even if Qi Wenjing doesn't care that he is just a dawdling official position, the whole Marquis Mansion still has a reputation, and Qi Huan is getting married soon...

Well, now that the old man is kicking his legs suddenly, and Qi Huan is about to go into mourning, the marriage may have to be postponed.

At this time, Qi Wenjing had a rare clarity of thought. He sent all the outsiders and servants out, including Dr. Chen, and only after his own family was left in the room, did he look at his old mother again, hating iron for being weak. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Didn't you faint because of 'excessive sadness' before? Then keep pretending to be sick during father's funeral, and don't come out to see people."

Yu Shi's pretentious tears stopped abruptly, and his heart brightened instantly.

She knew that her eldest son was soft-hearted, and among these children, except for the younger daughter, the eldest son was the most filial to her.

But before she was completely happy, she heard Qi Wenjing change the subject and continued: "After your father is buried, you will tell the outside world that you are going to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha to pray for your father, or go to Zhuangzi, or find a secluded nunnery to live in Qing Dynasty forever. Xiu, don't show up in the capital again."

Otherwise, with this old lady's temper, she would inevitably not show her flaws once she ran in front of people.

Yu Shi was struck by lightning.

After being dazed for a moment, she jumped up angrily again: "You heartless..."

On such an important matter that concerns the future and fate of the family, Qi Wenjing is clear about it. In addition, his own mother murdered his own father cruelly. Opportunity, the cold voice interrupted her: "Killing pays for life, and a woman who murders her husband should be cut to death. This is the last way I can think of to save my mother. If you go out of Beijing to clean up in a low-key manner, at least your son will be saved." It can protect you from worrying about food and clothing to enjoy your old age until the end of your life. But if you don’t want to, mother, then we will go to the government. You have committed such a rebellious and unethical thing. After the court convicts you, you must be implicated. My second brother and I There is nothing to be appointed by the official, and the title of the Marquis Mansion is very likely to be taken back. After you go to subdue the law, we will move out of the capital, and we will live incognito from now on, as if we have never been rich before."

Mrs. Yu eagerly wanted to intervene several times, but Qi Wenjing's attitude was too tough, and she couldn't interject a word in a daze.

And at this time, let's go to see another son, Qi Wenang——

The way Qi Wenang stared at her was so stern and depressing that it could almost kill someone.

The eldest son has no ambitions, but the eldest daughter-in-law is a rich woman with a lot of money. The eldest family can live a stable and wealthy life even if they leave the capital, but the second son aspires to be in the officialdom. Burn yourself.

This whole family is tantamount to a complete defeat.

The main thing is-

Yu Shi is afraid of death, she doesn't want to pay for the old man's life, let alone the death penalty.

"You...you are rebellious!" Therefore, after holding back for a long time, the old lady patted her thigh and wailed again, "You are trying to force me to die! You rebellious and unfilial thing..."

Qi Wenang couldn't hold back right now and just blew it up. Seeing that she had stabbed such a big slut and was still crying and robbing the old man, and hated that she was his own mother, he couldn't beat her up so viciously. Interrupted her: "Mother, please give me a correct sentence now. The two roads given by the eldest brother, which one do you take? If it is the first one, then stop immediately and do your duty as a new widow. If it is the second ... My son will send you to the government in person."

As he spoke, he sneered and continued to squeeze out words from between his teeth: "At that time, our mother and I will hug each other to death."

Compared with the kind-hearted and good-tempered eldest son, Yu is actually more afraid of this second son who is as unreasonable as the old man.

Her crying was cut off again, she stared at her son resentfully for a moment, then lost, got up and rushed out.

In fact, no one present expected her to have the guts and courage to burn everything together. Her choice was already expected, and if she ran away without saying a word, she must have gone back to the back room.

Everyone in unanimous agreement secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then——

I cheered up again.

Because Mama Gu is in Qi Huan's hands, Qi Wenjing looked at Qi Huan first and said, "Mama Gu can't stay. If what she said is true, and no one else has touched their hands and doesn't know the inside story, then let her be dealt with, and don't make trouble."

In the past, he would not have entrusted his daughter with this kind of thing, but ever since Qi Huan ordered someone to kill Yun Zhi in public...

It's not intentional, it should be a subconscious cognition, now Qi Wenjing no longer regards his daughter as a child who doesn't care, instead he explained the matter to her quite logically.

"Well, my daughter knows the seriousness of the matter, and I will ask the people below to find out." Qi Huan said.

Qi Wenjing nodded, and then turned to look at Qi Wenang again: "Do you have any other ideas?"

What can Qi Wenang say?
He was afraid that his family's ugliness would be exposed and he would lose his official position, but the title of the Hou Mansion was inherited from the Qi family, and Yu's felony crimes did not actually implicate the emperor in seizing the title. No matter what, Qi Wenjing was still a wealthy idler.

"That's it." Qi Wenang nodded muffled.

Qi Wenjing interfaced: "This is a family scandal. The less people know about it, the better. I will instruct those insiders, including Dr. Chen, to take care of it one by one. As for the third child and younger sisters...don't disclose it to them."

If one less person knows, there is less risk of exposure.

Qi Wenyan and Qi Wenjing are actually fine, even if they knew about it, they would probably keep their mouths shut, but Qi Wenxian and Qi Wenheng are not particularly reliable and trustworthy people...

This is not something glorious, so it won't make them feel troubled if they find out.

"En!" Qi Wenang had no objection to the handling, nodding his approval one by one.

After this incident, he suddenly couldn't help but began to re-examine his elder brother, and found that his elder brother was not as uninitiated and useless as he thought in the past.

After everything was agreed upon, everyone dispersed to prepare for Qi Zhengyu's funeral separately.

Coming out of this courtyard, Qi Huan deliberately asked Xing Luo who was waiting outside the courtyard: "Where is the old lady?"

Xing Luo said: "Go back to the backyard."

Qi Huan nodded: "Find someone to watch her, so as not to make trouble again."

Turning around again, Qi Wenjing had already instructed Wei Feng and the two of them to deal with Mama Gu in secret and not to make any noise in the mansion: "Mama Gu has a daughter who married far away from Beijing? If anyone asks, just say Her daughter has something to do at home, so she went away temporarily to visit her daughter."

This news is mainly for the purpose of fooling Mrs. Yu, to make her feel that Mama Gu is still around, otherwise she will inevitably feel that without the witnesses, she will have nothing to fear and will make trouble again.

Qi Huan waited for him to finish his sentence before leaning forward, and looked in the direction of Yu's backyard with a worried look on his face: "Father, there will be many people coming and going in the house during the condolence period. To comfort grandma, she is always out of tune, in case a sentence or two is wrong and reveals her flaws..."

Few of the wives of high-ranking and wealthy families are not human beings. Observing people's words and demeanor is only a basic skill for them to survive in the deep house and courtyard.

Qi Wenjing's reaction was quick, and he frowned and asked his daughter, "What other ideas do you have?"

Qi Huan said: "Get some medicine that will make people drowsy and weak but not harmful to the body and pour her down every day. Anyone who goes to visit will say that he is too sad and fell ill. At least go through the funeral period and wait until the grandfather is buried. It’s okay to send people out.”

Qi Wenjing only thought for a while before nodding in agreement: "Okay, you can just ask Dr. Chen to prescribe the medicine."

Anyway, Dr. Chen knew about the Yu family, so he didn't have to beat around the bush and cover it up in front of him.

"En!" Qi Huan nodded.

The Qi Wenjing brothers are waiting here for the servants to bring the birthday materials and shrouds so that they can bury the old man, while Yang and Cen each take their daughters back to the backyard to change into mourning clothes.

There was no words all the way, and after parting ways with Cen's mother and daughter, Yang sighed and looked at her daughter: "You first asked someone to pretend to be a ghost to scare the old man into madness, and then urged your third uncle to go to Fulinyuan to visit the sick, you are just adding fuel to the flames." Instigate this matter?"

Qi Huan didn't think about hiding it from her, and shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression: "No matter how much I add to the flames, if one of them hadn't done something wrong, and the other had ulterior motives and the other was not clear about it... as long as there is one of them He is a good person with a clear mind, and what will happen after this will not happen."

Yang opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but in the end she just sighed and smiled: "You, this time it's all up to you."

Qi Huan said before that after she got married, she would worry about Yang's mother and son living with her in-laws. Yang always remembered this, so she also knew that a large part of the reason why Qi Huan did this was for Paving the way for his mother and son.

The vicious and vicious old man has gone, and the old lady who can't figure out who is always whimsical and causing trouble is being coerced again...

When Shouxiao comes out and separates the second room, she and Qi Yuanchen can sit back and relax and walk around in this house as they please.

this day -

In fact, thinking about it makes people feel refreshed and extremely comfortable.

Back in Qixia Garden, Mrs. Yang sent someone to call Aunt Lu, and the whole family packed up in linen and mourning, and went back to Fulin Garden to participate in the burial.

The two brothers Qi Wenjing tried their best to deceive others, so they rushed quickly. Before Qi Wenyan, Qi Wenjing and others came over, they had already built the mourning hall and carried the coffin where the old man's body was placed.

Afterwards, the government continued to arrange other corresponding matters.

After being busy for the rest of the night, Qi Wenyan and others arrived one after another before dawn. Qi Wenjing said that the old man was not in good health recently. In order to cure his illness, he was addicted to alchemy and swallowed an excessive amount of cinnabar to death.

Qi Zhengyu fell ill after the state banquet on New Year's Eve, and during the New Year's Eve, the Marquis of Changning closed its doors to thank guests almost all the time, saying that he was taking care of the old Marquis' illness. This wave was not deliberate but it created enough momentum. on.

In addition, taking too much cinnabar is also a poisoning death, so even if someone finds that the face of the corpse is not right, they can be confused for a while.

Qi Huan took the filial piety clothes to the mourning hall and gave them to Qi Wenyan. At that time, he stood tall in the empty room, looking at the coffin hidden in the white snow in front of him, with no expression on his face.

He should have recognized Qi Huan by the sound of footsteps, so before Qi Huan approached, he said coldly: "The feeling of revenge and long-cherished wish is still different. In the past, I always thought that I was I hated him to the bone, and suddenly realized that he is not worthy of making me hate him, it's just... killing him has become my obsession."

Qi Huan: Hehe...

It’s okay if you don’t really take it to heart, because you are the hero, you have a big heart, and a character like Qi Zhengyu is just a leftover cannon fodder in your script, so you expect him to be unforgettable to you?
Qi Huan secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, and still walked forward and handed the filial piety clothes in front of him, and said in a business-like way: "Since the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, then I will wrong the third uncle..."

Qi Wenyan lowered his eyes to look at the things in her hand. Although the corners of his lips curled into a sneering and contemptuous arc, he didn't lose his temper. He took the clothes and took them to the side room in the yard to change into.

The first day of the funeral was mainly to announce the funeral to all relatives and friends. There were not many guests who actually came to express their condolences, and the rest became busy one after another.

Everyone turned around and tossed and tossed for seven or eight days before it gradually subsided, but at this moment there was a sudden bad news——

On the way back to Beijing for the funeral, Qi Yuanming accidentally rolled down the valley and fell to his death.

The news was sent back by his bookboy Hui'an. It was midnight, and a large family of "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" gathered together to guard Qi Zhengyu's spirit.

After hearing this, Cen didn't have time to say a word, and just rolled his eyes and passed out.
