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

Chapter 386 Who will win?
Qi Youduan helped Mr. Tan walk back.

Mrs. Liu took Qi Yue and Mrs. Zhu and waited at the door of the back hall. Seeing them coming, I quickly saluted and said hello. No one could tell anything from the faces of the mother and son.

Qi Youduan said to Mrs. Liu gently: "Go and get some food. I'll talk to my mother first. Qi Yue...you're in the capital, so you didn't make your grandmother anxious or angry, right?"

Qi Yue hasn't spoken yet.

Tan said: "Qi Yue is fine! Don't scare him! He is suffering in the northwest with you, and he should have fun when he returns to the capital! Young people, only after enough trouble can you get down to work."

Qi Youduan smiled, and the mother and son entered the room and asked the servants to leave.

Finally taking off all her guard, Tan asked with concern: "Is everything going well?"

"Everything went well. Of the six leading generals over there, three are purely my people. My father is devoted to me, so there is no problem."

"Mother is worried. If the Emperor is in trouble...it will be difficult for the Marquis to handle it."

Qi Youduan smiled, "The emperor may not be clear about the fact that he has not established a heir for so many years. As long as the matter does not go out of control, he will not care about it. Moreover, father and I have already discussed the method. When my son comes back, he will hand in the report, big and small. My father will take the opportunity to give up the throne! So mother, stability is very important now, don’t make trouble!”

Mrs. Tan nodded with satisfaction.

But after a while, she couldn't help but talk about things at home, especially the changes in the family before and after Wen Yu came in. She talked about them one by one for a long time.

Qi Youduan listened, but he felt very disapproving.

When he was a child, although he felt that he was looked down upon by others because of his mother's low background, he admired her from the bottom of his heart for being able to arrange everything well. She can stand up among ladies!

And in front of his father, he is much more popular than his eldest brother! It can be said that the father's ability to support him to rise to the top despite pressure from all aspects is the result of the joint efforts of the mother and son.

But now, maybe she is getting old, maybe she is mature! Listening to my mother say this again, I actually feel that her vision is limited after all, and all she cares about is the trivial matters in the back house.

All kinds of tricks are used, but the purpose is unknown.

Seeing my mother still talking endlessly, I was sometimes happy and sometimes angry. Sometimes his eyes are rolling around, sometimes he has a vicious look on his face... He keeps mouthing and doesn't even seem to be breathing.

He didn't know that Tan had too many things in his heart. Performing every day was so tiring and boring! The key point is that there is no one she can talk to at will, not even her close maid or girl, who knows what she really thinks.

Now that he has captured his closest son, how can he still control him?
Qi Youduan listened for a long time, and finally became impatient and interrupted Tan, "Mother, my son has just said that the title will be obtained smoothly soon. Everything else is unimportant! Except for the title corresponding to the title. Property and other things were not taken seriously by his son.

After all, he is his father's eldest son. If he does something too ugly, people will comment. Do you understand that the gain outweighs the loss? "

Mrs. Tan was very unhappy after being intercepted and denied by her son. But when we first met, it was hard to refute.

"And... Mother, there are some things that I can't tell you clearly yet. You have to believe in your son. If what you are planning to succeed is successful, it will not only be the title inherited from your ancestors, but your son will be able to earn a higher position on his own! In the future, it will be passed down from my son! Your name will also be mentioned heavily!"

After Qi Youduan finished speaking, he could not hide his inner pride: The man said when he went to the northwest two years ago: If he succeeds, he will be promised the position of Duke of our country. This time I received a secret message halfway and it has already begun...

"Really?" Tan's eyes lit up, and she felt wonderful just listening to it.

"What did I lie to you for?!"

"Okay, okay!" After a while, Ms. Tan said, "It's just that it's not easy for your mother and me to get to where we are today!"

"Can a poor girl come to Madam Hou and succeed just by sitting and waiting? Why does my mother pay so much attention to those few? That's because my mother has done many cruel things. If they dig out the past... …”

Qi Youduan was not surprised, "Mother, what major event is not behind a conspiracy? But only the one who laughs at the end has the right to draw a conclusion." "But... if the lady in front of your father died, Where is my hand?" Mrs. Tan looked at Qi Youduan with bright eyes.

Qi Youduan didn't take it seriously: "Don't say that there have been no witnesses or physical evidence in the past so many years. Even if there is, do you think my father is willing to avenge the original wife and bring chaos to the Qi family? Let me, who has been training for many years, become a step A waste of money? Let him lose face? What a joke!"

Although Tan nodded, she still felt a little uneasy.

Qi Youduan felt something was wrong: "Mother, apart from what you just said, is there anything else you are hiding from your son?"

Mrs. Tan hesitated for a while, but finally explained the matter about the Bai family briefly and to the point. But it only talked about the downfall of the Bai family and the care they took for their mother and daughter. But her admiration and plot against Mr. Bai, her being deceived by Li Qun into being an accomplice, and her pregnancy and giving birth to a daughter were hidden.

"Because my cousin informed me in advance, I ran away, otherwise I would have died! But if Master Qing saw me, he wouldn't bite me to death together with Wen Yu? This is not a good reputation! So, I I was ready to kill her, but I didn’t know if she would wake up..."

Qi Youduan was a little surprised by this incident, and thought for a while: "We are not at odds with the Cui family anyway, and that Master Qing has no chance to come to you. My son will pay attention, and it is not difficult to deal with such a person! But! , the Master Zhou you are talking about..."

"He is a cousin of mine. We were separated from Xijing and met again in the capital. I had not yet married your father at that time, and he went to Beijing for scientific examination. Later, I became Mrs. Hou, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. !

Over the years, although we have not recognized each other openly, we have supported each other secretly... Now that I think about it, he helps me most! Come back this time and meet him, right? That's a capable man! "

"Okay!" Qi Youduan responded. "Mom, is there anything else?"

"No more." Mr. Tan shook his head. There were some things that even he couldn't say.

"If you have anything, you can tell your son. Your son will help you clear everything!" Qi Youduan asked again.

"Mother understands. Look at this!" Mrs. Tan picked up a small box, "This is poison. It was the poison I gave to the man in front of me. It is colorless and tasteless, just like dying from a heart attack. Even the murderer is checked. Don’t come out! I’ll give you two bottles in case you need them…”

"Okay." Qi Youduan answered.

"I feel at ease when you come back. I haven't felt relaxed these days!"

"When you reach this age, just enjoy yourself! Leave everything to your son!"

Mrs. Tan likes to hear this!

Qi Youduan returned to the house and chatted with Mr. Liu for a while. Liu's words are more to the point and impartial. After Qi Youduan heard this, he felt even more that his mother acted excessively and liked to play tricks too much. Even some much ado about nothing...

Mrs. Liu said: "Mother may have underestimated Cui and Wen Yu, so she got angry and kicked rocks. I tried to persuade her. Also, Qi Wu, you should pay special attention to him. I feel that he What he does is too mysterious. Besides, he should be very close to the prince and grandson!"

At this time, Qi Youduan concentrated.

Qi Yang is the person on the other end? It seems that we are really natural enemies, and we are at odds with each other in business and private matters...

He recalled the twelve-year-old boy who was too beautiful to be true. Wearing an ostentatious hunting suit, he was surrounded by a few silly boys from the Cui family so that no one else could see him.

It's a pity that if he didn't succeed in his plan, King Xiang would never be seen again. It was almost certainly Qi Yang who did it, but he couldn't find out. And even if it was really him, not only could it not be revealed, but it would also have to be concealed and dealt with for him!

Because that would... bring in the entire Qi family!

That little bastard! How dare he?
How did it do it?
Originally, when he came back that time, he had already discussed with his father to get the crown prince's position first. As a result, he became frightened and hid again.

After thinking about it, Qi Youduan smiled: Let's see who wins!
