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

The gate of Qi's house was bustling with activity.

The head of the family, Qi Zheng, has returned to Beijing.

Several grandsons went ten miles outside the city to pick him up early in the morning.

Qi Youyi was waiting at the gate, pacing back and forth, turning his head from time to time to look at the way he came.

Suddenly, there was a sound of carriages: "The Marquis is here!"

Qi Youyi quickly stood in the middle of the road.

A group of people came over there, and the one in the middle was an old man. When he came to the door, he reined in his horse.

"Father!" Qi Youyi called out as he stood with his hands down respectfully.

"Well!" Zhenyuan Hou Qizheng looked at his eldest son.

Qi Youyi hurried up and held the reins of the horse for his father.

Qi Zheng flew off his horse, quite neatly.

"Father is as strong as ever!"

"Boy, you are getting older, and your mouth is sweeter." Qi Zheng is of medium height, with a gray beard, dark eyes, and a straight figure. The face is gentle, but not angry or intimidating!

When he was young, he was also a handsome man.

"Father, please, mother is waiting!" Qi Youyi said.

"Okay! Everyone go in first!"

A group of people walked in with a roar, and the housekeeper, steward, and sergeant were all busy performing their duties.

In the room, Mr. Tan was unusually restless.

What she wore today was much neater and more elegant than usual.

Xu had been feeling uncomfortable in the early stages of her pregnancy and her complexion was not looking good. Seeing Mrs. Tan's appearance, she joked and said, "Grandma is in extra spirit today!"

Mrs. Tan smiled and said: "Wear all these good jewelry for your grandfather to see. So that he doesn't think that all the good things I gave you will be lost to you!"

Mrs. Qi remained calm, but sneered in her heart. She preferred to talk about these boring topics.

"Grandma! Don't accuse us wrongly!"

"I'm worried about whether your grandfather has any new injuries..." Mr. Tan said with a slight look on his face.

"When I come back this time, grandpa won't leave!" asked Mrs. Xu.

"Who knows!? These men, for the sake of the imperial court and the Qi family, have to sleep in the open air... Alas!"

After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Qi from the corner of his eye.

Mrs. Qi acted as if she hadn’t heard anything.

Xu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! My father and third uncle have worked too hard."

Wang, who had just reached the full moon and had a plump figure, also nodded. Zhang Moqing smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the mother-in-law came in: "Old madam, the Marquis is back!"

Ms. Tan quickly stood up and walked out of the door in a few steps. She stood under the eaves and looked at the visitor excitedly.

"Master Hou!" She bowed deeply, her voice filled with surprise and excitement.

This scene is rare among elderly couples.

Xu Minghui was envious. She very much hopes that she and Qi Xiao can do the same...

"Madam, you're polite, let's go in and talk!" Mr. Hou looked at the old wife seriously, raised his hand, and everyone went in.

The two old men took their seats, and the children and grandchildren below stood and kowtowed.

The Marquis laughed: "Okay! Everyone, get up! I have brought gifts for you and will deliver them to your respective courtyards in a moment!"

Everyone thanked him again.

When Tan saw it, Qi Youduan's wife, Liu, had also returned with the Marquis.

This is the daughter-in-law chosen by Mrs. Tan herself for her son.

Generous, gentle, considerate, and having given birth to three sons, Mrs. Tan is very considerate: "Ai Min!"

"Mother-in-law!" Liu Aimin stepped forward and saluted. Behind her were two men, one large and one young, and a young woman behind them.

"Yue'er! And this is...Cheng'er?!"

"grandmother!"

Mrs. Tan was really excited and looked at the two of them with wet eyes.

At a quick glance, Qi Yue and Qi Wu look very similar.

He's about the same height, short, fat, and thin, and his waist is similar!

Moreover, Qi Yue is also very white, but it is not the jade-like whiteness of Qi Wu, but a pale white without blood.

Thick black eyebrows and eye hair, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and thin lips.

Not as serious as Qi Wu, but... chic and flamboyant!

"Oh, my Yue'er!" Mrs. Tan stretched out her hand, and Qi Yue let Mrs. Tan pull him and chuckled, showing her white teeth.

"You're so pretty!"

Qi Zheng burst out laughing! "Grandma, my grandson is not a girl, how can you describe it like this?" Qi Yue looked dissatisfied, but felt proud in her heart.

"What's the difference between men and women? Good-looking is good-looking! Cheng'er... is only thirteen, but he has grown so big!"

Liu Aimin said: "Mom, Quan'er is accompanying your husband this time and has not come back. Let your daughter-in-law come and say hello to you on his behalf! Let me introduce to mother, this is Yue'er's daughter-in-law, Zhu Manmiao." After that, she stepped aside. young woman.

Zhu Manmiao stepped forward and said, "Meet my grandmother!"

This marriage was decided by the son and his daughter-in-law. Her father was a general soldier, and few people in the capital knew about it, but locally he was considered a local emperor.

The Zhu family is very thin, not tall, petite and exquisite, with watery almond-shaped eyes. She is very beautiful and has a sense of arrogance about her body.

With a satisfied look on her face, Ms. Tan turned around and took out a set of jewelry: "You look like a good boy at first sight. You are back home and down-to-earth! This is your sister-in-law. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask her! "

"Yes. Sister-in-law!" Mrs. Zhu greeted Xu Minghui.

"Third younger brother and sister!" The Xu family was close to the Tan family, so they were very kind to this third younger brother and sister.

"Master Hou, this is Mrs. Zhang, Xiaosi's new daughter-in-law!" Mr. Tan introduced calmly.

Zhang Moqing stepped forward and saluted: "Meet my grandfather!"

When the Marquis saw Zhang Moqing, he was calm and calm, and his impression was not bad: "Okay! Send the meeting gift back to Xiaosiyuan!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

When Qi Yue heard that this was the fourth younger brother and sister who had just entered the family, he took a serious look at them, saw their appearance clearly, and curled his lips.

Mrs. Zhu got to know her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and fourth younger sister-in-law... From her point of view, these people should not be difficult to get along with.

Her natal family has a big business. I have been to the capital for a long time. He didn’t come from a small place or a small portal! Don't underestimate me!

Mrs. Tan carefully asked about the body of the Marquis, and then talked about important family matters.

The atmosphere was very peaceful. Suddenly Mrs. Tan remembered and asked, "Why didn't you go to the palace when you came back?"

"The Emperor is waiting at the city gate and says he will give me two days off to rest. The documents have been sent up!"

"Amitabha, Your Majesty is considerate! When you come over to rest, our house will be lively!"

"it is good!"

"Xiao Wu is getting married soon, and I have been worried that you won't come back!"

The Marquis looked at his eldest son, who was old but still energetic. There were also Qi Wu and Qi Yue, who laughed and said, "Who would have thought that our martial arts family would produce so many beautiful men!"

Qi Yue saw that Qi Wu's eyes were not squinting and his face was expressionless... He was a little dissatisfied!

Mr. Tan smiled and said: "I heard that your great-uncle is known as: Golden Spear and Jade Horse. So, Junshuai is passed down from our ancestors!"

The Marquis burst out laughing!

After everyone talked for a while, Qi Youyi said: "Father, please freshen up and rest first. In the evening, your children and grandchildren will have a reunion dinner with you!"

……

The Marquis was really tired from the journey. When he went in to take a bath, Mrs. Tan personally waited on him because she wanted to check whether the Marquis was injured.

Sure enough, she found two new ones.

One on the shoulder and one on the leg.

Tears flowed out uncontrollably: "How old are you, why are you still working so hard!?"

"Okay! It's okay. This part of my leg was scraped by a dry branch while hunting. It's not a problem."

"You are too careless!"

"It's really okay." After taking a shower and changing clothes, the old couple sat and drank tea.

Mrs. Tan was in tears again.

"What's wrong!?" Mr. Hou asked her.

"I want to do something... wu wu, I really want to!"

"You are so good-looking. He has a grandchild soon!"

Mr. Tan burst into tears and laughed, "In my mother's eyes, he will always be that arrogant little boy!"

"Now he is a great general who speaks the truth."

"What he does is in line with the Marquis's wishes!?" Mrs. Tan asked cautiously.

"I brought it out myself, it's unmistakable!"

"Well, our family is a strict father and a loving mother. Speaking of myself, with such a big business, why not live a good life in the capital? I have to suffer outside... Thinking about it, I feel sad!"

"A man must make great contributions! Only with men like us working hard can you live a good life!"

"I come from a humble background, and everything I have today is given by the Marquis! No matter how much, I am content with it!"

"You are good too! When you come back this time... you are ready to do that!" Qi Zheng looked solemn.

"But I feel very uneasy in my heart! When it comes to pain, Youyi and Youduan are the same in my eyes! Even thinking about Youyi being without a mother since he was a child, I love him even more! This decision of yours , I am worried that Youduan will not be able to live with him in terms of face. If this is the case, I would rather let Youduan suffer a little more!"

"You don't have to worry about this! I've seen your sincerity towards the children for so many years..."

Okay! Another blind person!
