The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Today, Qi Youyi returned to the capital with his eldest son Qi Xiao.

This time, he went out for more than a month to suppress bandits and capture a man who claimed to be the reincarnation of King Tota.

The bandits were suppressed very smoothly, and that so-and-so king had to put in a lot of effort.

Because there are many people who believe in him, and even some aristocratic families have joined in.

There was no shortage of people or money, and many charity halls were set up. When people were taken away, the people came to stop them. He didn't expect it in advance, but they were surrounded and made him very embarrassed.

He didn't even return home when he returned to Beijing. He went directly to the palace and handed in the battle report.

Then I walked in the door dusty and found out that my wife was not at home and my mother was sick...

He quickly took Qi Xiao into the backyard.

Tan, the old lady of the Qi family, was sitting in the room, wearing a forehead wipe on her head and looking very unhappy.

However, the softness remains the same.

If Wen Yu saw it, he might be surprised that Tan was so young.

Moreover, even though she was "in a bad mood" and "in poor health" today, she was still meticulously dressed from head to toe.

Speaking of appearance, in fact, she is not that beautiful, and she does not even have the charm of a lady.

Her good looks are a general thing. There are no wrinkles or collapse on the face. The eyes are clear and gentle, and the corners of the mouth are smiling.

There was a detached open-mindedness and peace in his demeanor, and even a hint of liveliness.

There was a rumor in the capital that Qi Zheng's wife was grateful to Mr. Tan for saving her husband, and accepted her as his adopted sister. She stayed in the mansion, ate, drank and dressed like the lady in the mansion, and planned to find a good family for her. But Ms. Tan said that after accompanying her sister to give birth to a child, it would not be too late for her to get married again.

In the later stages of Mrs. Qi's pregnancy and after she gave birth to the child, Mrs. Tan was indeed better at taking care of her than the other maids around her.

As the saying goes, you can taste the medicine and food yourself without taking off your clothes.

When Mrs. Qi gave birth to Qi Zheng, the fetal position was abnormal, and she did not recover well later. When Qi Xiao was less than one year old, Mrs. Qi eventually passed away due to heart disease due to physical weakness.

Before leaving, Mrs. Qi "begged" her husband to remarry Sister Tan.

But Qi Zheng "obeys his wife's wishes" and really plans to remarry her.

At that time, there were many people who opposed it, including Qi Zheng's parents and Mrs. Qi's natal Zhao family.

Because the Tan family is almost considered a woman of "unknown origin". She has no family, no job, and no one knows her past.

But Qi Zheng was very persistent and finally got married.

For a long time, the Tan family was not tolerated by this class and encountered many embarrassing things.

But she has a low profile and is honest, and can face anything she encounters calmly.

In all these years, no one has seen her change her face, or say that she is not her fault.

Moreover, on the premise that she also gave birth to a son, she also raised Qi Youyi to be tall, heroic, and capable of both literary and military skills.

Finally earned a good name for himself.

Now in Beijing, she is also a very famous charitable old lady. My popularity at home and outside is all good!

Seeing their father and son arriving, Mr. Tan immediately put a smile on his face, with surprise in his voice: "Boss, Xiao'er! Isn't it true that the genius will come back tomorrow?!"

Qi Youyi and Qi Xiao, both quite tall, stepped forward and saluted with smiles on their faces, "Mother!"

"grandmother!"

"The journey went smoothly, so I came back a day early!"

"Okay, okay! It'll be fine when you come back... Are you injured?!" She stretched out her hands to the two of them, looking at the father and son up and down with concerned eyes.

"Don't worry, you're not hurt."

"Amitabha! It seems that my incense was not burned in vain!" Mrs. Tan was obviously happy, "Have you gone to the palace?"

"Been there!"

"Is there any reward from the Emperor!?"

"Haha, mother, even if there were, it wouldn't be now."

"Are you making fun of your mother for not knowing official business?" She looked at Qi Youyi angrily.

"Haha! My son doesn't dare! Has your father received a letter?" "He has received a letter, saying that everything is going well and it will take some time before he can come back. I'm worried about his waist... A few days ago, someone sent a medical pack , is for bathing. I have also prepared it for you and your son. It can be prevented and cured. You are fighting outside, it is too hard. You must take good care of it on weekdays, and you must not be lazy!"

"Thank you, mother. My son is also worried about his father. If the emperor has no other assignments, he would like to apply to take over his father's job."

Mrs. Tan was heartbroken, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, "You have worked hard for more than a year, take a good rest first! And Xiao'er..."

The old lady looked at Qi Xiao and pointed at him: "Look, what a fair person? Now he is like a black charcoal head, he has to be raised!"

Qi Xiao said: "Grandma, my grandson is a military commander, not a pretty boy!"

"Tch, you're not stupid. How can your wife like you? You're gone for such a long time and you don't want to spend time with your wife?!"

Grandma and grandson all laughed, and the atmosphere was great!

Qi Xiao's face turned red, he really missed her!

"Mother, come back and listen to the message on the door that you are not feeling well?" Qi Youyi was really concerned.

Mrs. Tan glared at the people around her, "Don't listen to their nonsense! I'm fine! I'm fine!"

The girl next to me said, "Old madam, you don't have to hold on. If you have something on your mind, you can talk to the eldest master when he comes back."

"Yes, mother, what's wrong with you? Can you call a doctor?"

"I told you it's okay! They're the ones making the fuss! Besides, even if there's anything wrong with it, everything will be fine as soon as I see you two!"

She looked at Qi Youyi and Qi Xiao with pride and love in her eyes.

Qi Youyi and his son were very moved, "My son is back. If you are unhappy, you have to tell me. Otherwise, how can your son be relieved?"

Tan's eyes were shining, but the circles under her eyes seemed wet. "It's really okay..."

"Mother……"

He asked the girl next to him, "Tell me! What's wrong with my mother?" Why did she look like she was crying?

Mrs. Tan quickly winked at the girl.

But the girl said: "Sir, last time you left, my wife went around talking about building a grave for my hometown. This is my filial piety, but for some reason, gossip about you started to spread outside: You are not filial and don't care about your biological mother. It seems that you said it was taught by our old lady!

Who dares to bear such a reputation? The old lady became anxious and angry and fell ill. But the madam didn't care and left directly with the fourth and fifth masters. Just came back a few days ago! When he came back, he didn't even go to the old lady to say hello. He only showed up once, just to inform the old lady that she had decided on the marriage of the Fourth Master and the Fifth Master in the local area! "

Only then did Tan's expression look a little sad.

Qi Youyi was stunned. In fact, to be honest, he was not concerned about the marriage between Silang and Wulang.

Especially Wulang. Although he is his legitimate son, father and son have met countless times.

Moreover, his true thoughts are not known to anyone: Qi Xiao has been with him the longest, and he also accompanies him when he goes on official business, which can be said to be his greatest support. Even this time we got out of trouble safely, it was this son who led people to solve it.

But what he loves most in his heart is Qi Hua, the second son Xiu Yun gave birth to. Qi Hua's marriage was something he had worked hard to obtain.

Saburo is taken care of by his father and third brother. He didn't even pay attention to Shiro.

He didn't intend to interfere with Wu Lang's marriage or future.

Cui can decide whatever she wants.

But looking at my mother like this, I'm afraid it's not that simple, so her face is hard to look at.

Qi Xiao, who was next to him, was several years older than his younger brother, and he had not yet kissed Qi Hua!

In particular, the fifth brother has been good-looking since he was a child. His mother kissed him especially when he was a child and dressed him up all day long, making him look like a boy.

He looked particularly unpleasant.

I originally wanted to use the big brother's momentum to suppress him and let him know how powerful he is.

As a result, he didn’t like himself!

what!

He was so angry that he beat him many times.

My mother was angry with herself because of this, so she hated him even more.

Later, his mother sent him out to school, and there were fewer opportunities for the two of them to meet... Humph, he made his grandmother angry. Wait, you have to deal with him!

"grandmother?"

There was a cheerful and clear voice at the door.

Mrs. Tan calmed down appropriately. She was very good at doing this.

She glanced at Qi Xiao with a smile, "Look, who's here?" She said in a teasing tone.
