Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 42

"Presumptuous!" The old lady Qi suddenly snarled: "You unruly dog ​​slave! How dare you call yourself me in front of the master, are you impatient?" In fact, the old lady has already seen it. Famous, but it's a pity that her son has soft ears and is a bit dull, so she had to stand up and speak out.

Liao Guanshi trembled all over immediately, kowtowed his head and begged for mercy, "I'm a clumsy slave, please forgive me, old lady!"

Qi Zhongqing waved his hands irritably, glared at him and said, "I'll talk about it later, please explain your whereabouts first! Also, what's the situation with this night clothes?"

"Slave..." Guanshi Liao opened his mouth to speak, with a look of fear and horror on his face, he didn't even utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Qi Tianxiang had a cold expression on her face. If the interrogation continues like this, when will there be a result?No wonder Daddy never asked about the affairs of the mansion, Daddy really has nothing to do with managing the family.

Luo Tianqi was naturally keenly aware of Tian Xiang's intentions, and before she could speak, she had already said: "Since you are a man from the Duke's mansion, it is considered a matter in Master Qi's mansion, so I should avoid suspicion. It's just that today's grand old lady's birthday in the General's Mansion is such a big event, but the backyard recruited a thief! Now that the General's Mansion is still struggling to catch the thief, this matter is a big deal, if the whole mansion is implicated because of a servant , that's not worth it!"

When Luo Tianqi said these words, he was not harsh at all but with a little playfulness.Especially those pair of phoenix eyes, staring at Tianxiang closely, with thick and thick eyelashes fluttering, signaling Tianxiang not to worry, he didn't intend to involve Tianxiang.

In fact, Luo Tianqi came to the mansion as a foreigner's guest, and Tianxiang and other boudoir daughters should stay away.However, Luo Tianqi came unexpectedly, and the female relatives did not have time to retreat.Tianxiang received Luo Tianqi's eyes, and immediately realized that she should not talk too much.

Realizing this, Tianxiang immediately pursed her lips and stopped talking.What's more, Luo Tianqi has already signaled that he will deal with this matter, Tianxiang is happy and relaxed, and can watch a good show, why not do it?

Qi Zhongqing's complexion darkened immediately when he heard the words, and he shouted sharply: "Come here! Pull this reckless and reckless slave down and hit him with [-] slaps first, I don't believe that he is stubborn!"

Liao Guanshi immediately showed fear, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master, calm down!; Master, please forgive me! The slave is just following orders, please forgive me and don't hit the villain!"

"Acting under orders?" Qi Zhongqing heard the words, knowing that Guanshi Liao's mouth was no longer firm, and immediately asked seriously: "Then which bamboo did you act in the name of? Today you have been like this all day, what are you doing?" went?"

Such an evil slave, who is not working in the mansion to make a living, but comes out of the mansion in night clothes and doesn't know what good to do.If you don't clarify the matter today, what face will the Duke's Mansion have in the future?And with such a servant, he felt that he would have trouble sleeping and eating in the future!
Liao Guanshi heard that the master was going to hit him with thirty big boards, and immediately turned pale with fright, and fell to the ground!He was almost 40 years old, although he knew a little bit of superficial kung fu, but after so many years he was used to a life of pampering, how could he afford to be beaten!

So Guanshi Liao wailed and yelled at the top of his voice, "Master, please spare me! Don't hit me, this servant says, this servant says everything!"

"Crack!" Qi Zhongqing was even more furious when she heard the words, she slapped the table fiercely, pointed at Guanshi Liao and shouted: "Sure enough, he is a wicked slave who lied to his master! Now, sir, invite me honestly, who did you order to go What did you do? You haven't been in the mansion all day, what exactly are you doing?"

Liao Guanshi immediately aimed his extravagant eyes at Aunt Lian again.It's a pity that Aunt Lian's attitude is that she has nothing to do with herself, she sits there with a dignified demeanor, as if her mind is wandering into the sky.Liao Guanshi couldn't help swallowing secretly, he actually hoped that Aunt Lian could save him in his private heart.

After all, when Aunt Lian wanted her to do this, it was to ensure that he could marry Tianxiang, the daughter of the family.Although because of his love for his aunt, he has been domineering in the Duke's mansion for the past few years.But after all, he is a slave. If he can take the opportunity to marry the daughter of his wife, then he can become the serious master of the Duke's Mansion!

So until the last moment, Guanshi Liao had been looking forward to being rescued by Lianshi.But now it seems that the situation is not good, he doesn't understand why he was knocked out first, and then he was captured alive!If these [-] boards really go down, his life will be in danger.

The old man was also a young hero when he was young, and he also went to the battlefield, so the board that has been followed in the mansion is not the board of a wealthy family, but the military stick in the army!This army stick is equivalent to three big boards, if these three sticks go down, how can he have a chance of survival!He still has so much money, and has not yet married a wife and had children, so how could he be willing to die like this?
On the surface, Lianshi was calm, but in his heart he was very anxious.She was caught in a dilemma. If she helped Guanshi Liao get rid of the crime and pleaded for mercy, she would definitely transfer the suspicion to herself.If the master is allowed to deal with Liao Guanshi, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to withstand the severe torture, and if he will do it all in a while, she will also be shaken out!So it's not a plea, and it's not okay if you don't plead, Lian feels like his head is about to explode.

Although Qi Zhongqing didn't care about the affairs of the mansion for many years, he had been on the battlefield anyway, so he was naturally keenly aware of the secret eye contact between Liao Guanshi and Lianshi.There was a burst of anger in my heart, and in a fit of anger, Qi Zhongqing couldn't suppress his emotions, pointed to the servant beside him and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Drag this evil slave down, and beat the [-]th army stick first!"

"My lord, please spare me—" Liao Guanshi hadn't reacted yet, and the strong servant in the mansion immediately dragged him out, and after a while, there were bursts of miserable howls.

Listening to the sound of the baton beating the skin and the flesh mixed with Liao Guanshi's howling and howling, Lian's heart felt uneasy.

Seeing everyone's indifferent faces, the ancient well was silent, the tip of Lian's heart jumped with every miserable howl of Liao Guanshi, and the panic became more and more intense.

Luo Tianqi watched everything with cold eyes. From Qi Zhongqing's actions and the fury on his face, it could be seen that the matter was about to come to light.The next thing, after all, is the family affairs of the Duke's family, so he can't just hang on to it.What's more, he also believed that the girl Tianxiang was clever and cunning, so he got up and said goodbye: "This person has been delivered, I think the Duke already knows the whole story. Tianqi still has important matters, so don't bother the Duke to deal with the important affairs of the government. Farewell!"

Qi Zhongqing was thinking about what reason to let Luo Tianqi leave.Otherwise, seeing that Guanshi Liao was about to confess, why did he suddenly order people to drag him down and beat him with army sticks?Hearing Luo Tianqi's offer to resign at this time, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Thanks to Uncle Guo's insightful eyes today, otherwise, I would have been blinded by these heinous slaves!"

Luo Tianqi pursed his lips and smiled intriguingly, unfolded the bone fan that he carried with him and said shakingly, "You are welcome, Mr. Tianqi just happened to pass by and just happened to catch a thief, Mr. Guo, don't mind!" Arching his hands again, he said meaningfully: "Farewell, the Duke of the country will stay for a while, so there is no need to see you off!"

"Hehe, then I will have the guts not to send Uncle Guo away!" Qi Zhongqing forced a smile, and blessed Luo Tianqi's leaving figure.Seeing Luo Tianqi waved his hand indifferently and strode away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tianxiang, Tianjiao, you two girls go back to your yard first!" Qi Zhongqing turned around again, looked at the two daughters and ordered.

Qi Tianxiang knew that Qi Zhongqing was going to teach Lianshi a lesson alone, she pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, father!" After Fu Liaofu, she said to the old lady, "Grandmother, then Xiang'er will leave first!"

"Hey, go, you child, you are tired from this day, go back to Yuyan Zhai and have a good rest!" Old Madam Qi said lovingly.

"Grandmother..." Qi Tianjiao shyly said with her swollen face, "That Jiaoer has returned to the yard!"

"Yeah." The smile on Mrs. Qi's face disappeared, and she said flatly, "Go back and reflect on yourself! If you behave unruly again in the future, you can go to the family temple and kneel in front of your ancestors." Go read the scriptures!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Tianjiao was so frightened that she blessed Qi Zhongqing and ran away before she even had time to say anything.

Qi Zhongqing saw that everyone who was supposed to go had left, and immediately stopped hiding her anger.Turning around, the sharp sword-like eyes stared straight at Lianshi.

Being stared at by Qi Zhongqing, Lian felt guilty and flustered, dodged his sharp eyes, smiled reluctantly and said, "Sir, you...why are you staring at me so weirdly?"

"Pa——" The crisp applause resounded over the spine of the hall, gathering but not dispersing.Qi Zhongqing pointed at Lianshi, with a look of anger: "Is this how you have handled the affairs of the Duke's Mansion for so many years? Don't make excuses for me, I won't tolerate you! Tell me the truth, then Guanshi Liao is The thief you sent to the General’s Mansion, right?”

Lianshi cried out in pain, "Ah!", covered her slapped cheek, and looked at Qi Zhongqing in disbelief.She was originally the daughter of the Minister of Rites, but because she admired Qi Zhongqing, she was willing to be a concubine.For so many years, they have always respected each other like ice. If the identity of her aunt is ignored, they are simply a loving couple.

She really couldn't believe that her beloved husband-in-law would hit her!For so many years, let alone quarrels, they have never had any problems!But now because of such an insignificant matter, he hit her so hard, he was willing to beat her!How does this make Lianshi not sad, not heartbroken?
"Msanggong, you...you really hit me!" Lian said this for a long time, and then tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks, and she looked at Qi Zhongqing hurt.

Qi Zhongqing was startled when he heard the words, and then fixedly looked at Lian's already swollen cheeks.With a pain in his heart, he actually hit her in a fit of anger just now!He is a martial artist, so he knows the severity of the attack.It's just that this slap has already been slapped, even if he regrets it now, it won't help.

What's more, if it wasn't for Lian's lack of sense of propriety, he had a vicious heart towards Tian Xiang, and did such a nasty thing, how could he lose face in front of so many people?Liao Guanshi trespassing on the general's mansion is already an unforgivable crime, but Lianshi has the heart of destroying the reputation of Tianxiang's boudoir!This kind of thinking and behavior is really disgusting and extremely despicable!
Qi Zhongqing has only had four daughters in his life so far, and he regards each of them as a treasure in his palm.What's more, Tianxiang is the eldest daughter of the deceased wife Ning, who is the princess of Qiaoya, and the queen mother personally issued a decree to marry them.They were so affectionate back then, and their husbands and wives followed suit. If Ning's Sheng Tianxiang hadn't fallen to the root of his illness, he wouldn't have taken concubines!
Because Tianxiang is the only child of the Ning family, Qi Zhongqing loves this girl the most in her heart.It's just that due to the lack of maternal love since she was a child, this girl is relatively indifferent and quiet, especially she is alienated from herself for some reason.Over time, the relationship between him and Tianxiang gradually weakened.Finally, the girl Xiang'er grew up, and she also developed intimacy with herself. Qi Zhongqing regretted neglecting Tianxiang all these years, wishing to give all her love to this poor eldest daughter!
