Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

Chapter 116
Entering the west wing, several people sat in three places, with clear distinctions.

Yi Jiaoyan pulled Ding Zhaoliu and sat on the Taishi chair on the east side. Qu Niao Niao and Nanny Lin stood behind them. As guests, Jiang Fuyuan and Zhong Liefeng chose seats near the door according to etiquette. Qingyang Hou was sitting alone on the red sandalwood chair to the west, glaring at the people opposite him with an angry face.

"Why are you, a servant, standing here when the master is talking privately?" He took the lead in attacking Granny Lin and pointed to the door like the head of the family, "Why don't you get out!"

Unexpectedly, Nanny Lin said indifferently with an old face: "I am the wet nurse of the young lady, not a servant of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion. My main family is the Yi family in the northwest."

"you!"

Qingyang Hou had a lump in his throat and wanted to have an attack.

Qu Niao Niao changed from her usual weak and submissive demeanor, and taunted: "Master Hou, you dare to do it, and you are still afraid that others will say you can't do it? I think not only Nanny Lin shouldn't go out, but she should also call everyone in the house to listen. Just listen."

"Qu Niao Niao!" Qingyang Hou said angrily, "You bitch, if I hadn't cared about my friendship with my teacher, I would have helped your Qu family during your exile, and I would have saved you when you were about to fall into exile. Now you don’t even know where to sell yourself singing! I am sincere to you, and this is how you repay me?"

Qu Niao sighed: "Sincerely? Ding Shuoming, you really dare to say that. Do you think I don't know why you took me as your concubine? Was it because my uncle was pardoned by His Majesty and returned to the court? You just You want to use my relationship to become the confidant of your uncle’s in-laws, so that you can move on to your position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry!"

Unexpectedly, she had uncovered her ambitions many years ago and exposed them in front of everyone. Qingyang Hou felt as if he had been slapped in the face, with phantom pain on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched and his expression became ferocious.

"No matter what my reason was at the time, the money I gave you to help you was always real! You have to recognize the real money!"

"What the heck!" Qu Niao Niao cursed for the first time in her life, "Is that your money? That's your sister's money! You spend the entire Qingyang Marquis Mansion on a daily basis, and what do you use for your daily expenses do you not rely on your sister's dowry? You're just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, don't put gold on your own face."

"I was stupid before. I really thought you had feelings for me, so when you asked me to be a lowly person and have a matchless relationship with you regardless of shame, I agreed. But what did I get in exchange for all my patience?"

Her eyes were red, and she complained every word with blood and tears.

"My uncle's proposal for change failed, and war broke out in Vietnam. You immediately started to add insult to injury. You pushed my cousin to get married and became a victim of your struggle. You treated me coldly, and never said a kind word to me. Let others say that you spoiled your concubine and destroyed your wife, ignored the etiquette and laws, and secretly drugged me to kill the unborn child in my belly!"

"Ding Shuoming! How can you bear it! He is also your child!"

Qu Niao Niao's remarks were equivalent to re-opening the fatal wound in his heart and laying it out bloody in front of everyone.

The amount of information contained in her accusation was too great. Regardless of the strange disputes in the court, just the fact that his father would actually attack Qu Niao's unborn child was enough to make Ding Zhaoliu's scalp numb.

This was a human life, and it was a sibling with a blood relationship with him.

Ding Zhaoliu looked in disbelief at the face he had admired for 18 years, and asked in a trembling voice: "Dad, is everything she said true?"

Qingyang Marquis instinctively wanted to retort, but out of the corner of his eyes, he accidentally caught sight of Qu Niao Niao standing at his feet and staring at his horse's belly with bared teeth. He immediately did not dare to express his stance on Qu Niao Niao's words.

He swallowed and shifted his focus to brainwash his son: "Zhao Liu, no matter what, you and your mother are more important to me than life. I..."

This time, his nonsense was interrupted by Yi Jiaoyan's cold snort.

Yi Jiaoyan's beautiful eyes were filled with disgust as she said, "That's not what you said when you wanted to make Qu Niao Niao your equal wife."

She glanced sideways at the pale-faced Qingyang Marquis across from her, and her voice was colder than frost: "Do you want me to help you recall your memories, Lord Marquis? You said that you studied hard in the cold window and had a lot of poems and books. Unfortunately, you didn't have the opportunity to serve the country, so you could only raise your eyebrows." Qu Niao Niao can be a common wife and give the Qu family face, so that you can rise to the top and carry forward your Qingyang Marquis Mansion."

"You begged me at that time not to be a stumbling block in your official career, but to let me swallow my anger and become a joke to the whole Jingzhou."

Jiang Fuyuan, who was listening to the gossip with great interest, couldn't help but exclaimed and blurted out: "What a soft rice man."

Zhong Lianfeng: "...Little Phoenix, drink tea."

Drink more tea and talk less.Can this little ancestor complain about it for a while? It's already embarrassing enough for them as outsiders to listen to other people's family affairs here.

Fortunately, Qingyang Hou couldn't care about the two of them at this moment. He only defended himself anxiously: "I am doing it for this family too. When the teacher is re-employed, he will definitely become the master of the middle cabinet and become the mainstay of the court. As long as I can If you are favored by the teacher, you can let him take care of our palace, I am paving the way for Zhaoliu!"

"Don't use Zhaoliu as an excuse!" Yi Jiaoyan spat and said disgustedly, "You didn't teach him the syllables when he was babbling. You thought he walked slowly when he was a toddler. He broke his leg while learning to ride a horse when he was a child. You've only come to see him once, and now you can't even tell him what he can and can't eat, so why do you have the nerve to say anything just for Zhao Liu?"

Qingyang Hou became so angry that he slapped the table at the top of his voice and shouted in retort: ​​"Don't I want to? I am the right minister of the Ministry of Industry. I have not made any progress in several years and can only work the last shift at the court meeting. What can I do? I don't I want to give him everything, but I have nothing!”

Jiang Fuyuan's clear voice came again: "No, you still have the nerve to say it."

Zhong Lianfeng:......

Qingyang Hou:...

"who are you?!"

He had tolerated her for a long time, and this woman started mocking her again and again. Did she really think that he, Marquis Qingyang, was just a free man?

Jiang Fuyuan didn't answer. He took a sip of tea slowly and then glanced at Marquis Qingyang, whose cheeks turned the color of pig's liver.

【what? 】

She frowned slightly and looked at his face intently.

Without a wife or children, one will have little fortune and a short life.

This appearance is completely inconsistent with his current situation.

Jiang Fuyuan tapped her fingers on the table, thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you changed your life?"

Her words seemed to hit the pain point of Qingyang Hou, making him forget what he had asked Jiang Fuyuan before, and instead stuttered a bit to cover up: "What, what about changing one's fate, I, I don't understand!"

His panic was so obvious that everyone in the room immediately frowned and felt confused.

【something wrong. 】

Jiang Fuyuan narrowed his eyes and recalled the four pillars and eight characters written by Yi Jiaoyan on the paper stand-in. After calculating based on this, he said: "You are destined to be an orphan, how can you have a wife and children?"

She raised her eyes and said decisively: "You changed your fate, but what you changed is the fate of the person related to your wife."

After saying that, she turned to Yi Jiaoyan and asked, "Have you ever had a romantic partner before you got married?"

Yi Jiaoyan's expression changed: "How do you know?"

"That's right." Jiang Fuyuan nodded and gave an answer that made Yi Jiaoyan's heart twist. "He took away the fate of the person you originally loved. I'm afraid your original lover will not be able to live well at this time." It’s a life of poverty and loneliness.”

Unexpectedly, Yi Jiaoyan slowly shook her head when she heard what she said.

"No, Mu Xiangu, you miscalculated. He is already dead."
