Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 43
However, Lianshi, whom he has always trusted all these years, at first she did not know her identity and claimed to be the main wife, but now she has a vicious heart to destroy Tianxiang, the eldest daughter!So Qi Zhongqing secretly decided not to soften his heart, this time he will not tolerate Lianshi again!
"Manwen, you know how I have treated you these years. I love even Tianjiao, a concubine, even more than Tianxiang! I asked myself that I didn't feel sorry for you at all, but you never Targeting Tianxiang again and again! She is a girl who lost her mother's love since she was a child, how could she provoke you to hate her so much? You are so vicious, you insist on letting her..."

Qi Zhongqing couldn't speak anymore, trembling all over, looking at Lianshi with a look of extreme disappointment.

Mrs. Qi couldn't bear it for a long time. Now that Qi Zhongqing finished speaking, she immediately stood up and threw her mahogany tiger-head crutch viciously, pointing at Lianshi and said sadly: "Lianshi! You are also from the You are famous, and your father is the Minister of Rites! In the past, even though you made small mistakes, you were still knowledgeable and reasonable in major matters, so I will endure and not argue with you! But today, how can you be so ignorant!"

"Do you think that a mansion like the General's Mansion can be trespassed by anyone? The Ning family has long since passed away, and the General's Mansion has long been estranged from our Duke's Mansion. Tianxiang went to celebrate his birthday this time just to close the relationship between the two families. , to restore the former friendship. How dare you have a vicious heart to destroy Xiang'er's boudoir's reputation, even if you do this, it will also bring disaster to the Duke's Mansion!"

Old Madam Qi sighed while scolding.

Lian's body trembled uncontrollably when she heard the words, she lowered her head and dared not speak.It wasn't until the old matriarch stopped talking that she cried and said: "Old madam, Mrs., the poor concubine really knows it's wrong! The poor concubine is short-sighted and jealous, and she can't tolerate sister Ning's children for so many years! The poor concubine assures you! , I won’t make mistakes again in the future! I beg the old matriarch and the gentleman to spare the poor concubine this time! Huh... the poor concubine really regrets it!"

"Alas..." The old lady shook her head, leaning on a cane, turned and left with the help of her maid.After all, Lianshi is her son's concubine, she is not easy to deal with, so it is better to let her son deal with it properly.

Outside, Guanshi Liao was on the verge of death after passing through thirty army sticks.In the beginning, Guanshi Liao was able to cry and beg for mercy, but when he reached the [-]th army stick, it took him a long time to yell.At this moment, the person who was executing the cane outside entered the room, Qi Zhongqing directly waved his hand and made a killing gesture, signaling them to drag him out.

From the corner of her eye, Lian saw Qi Zhongqing's hand gesture, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her life was saved.Forced to look weak and pleasant, Lianshi snuggled into Qi Zhongqing's arms spontaneously, and began to cry and complain that she had done something wrong because of jealousy.

Qi Zhongqing shook his head helplessly, how could he not know the truth behind the matter?Sighing, he didn't soften his heart any more, but resolutely handed down the punishment: "As an aunt, Lian allowed her daughter to be arrogant and irritable. She has no way to teach her daughter. She will be fined a monthly salary of three months and banned from going to the ancestral hall to copy scriptures for a full month! Tianjiao Arrogant, domineering, disrespectful, vicious, disrespectful sister, banned for a month!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Zhongqing paused and said: "Aunt Lian will be confined for a month, and then the house affairs will be handled by Zhuo Shi temporarily!"

When Lian heard this, her legs softened immediately. She has been in charge of Zhongfu for many years and managed the Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner.Moreover, she is used to being the mistress of the house, with such glory and glory all these years.Even if she hadn't been converted from a concubine's room to a regular wife, no one would dare to underestimate her with the power in her hands.But now that the power has passed to Zhuo Shi in vain, she has been careful and vigilant against Zhuo Shi, how can she be reconciled now?

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Lianshi breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes, and immediately fainted on the ground.

At this time, in Cuiping Garden, Zhuo's personal servant girl said excitedly: "Auntie, great news! Aunt Lian made a mistake and was banned in the ancestral hall by the master for a month. Fuzhongzhong will leave it to you to deal with it!"

Zhuo's face was disheveled at the moment, lying on the bed, he was overjoyed when he heard the voice.But in the end it was a habit of pretending for many years, Zhuo's face did not show any joy, and he waved his hands to make the maids retreat.

Qi Tianqing put down the book in his hand, with a happy expression on his face: "Mother, we have waited for so many years, and the opportunity has finally come!" After speaking, she got up and respectfully saluted Zhuo Shi: "Daughter, congratulations to Mother for your wish to come true!"

"Qing'er, after holding back for so many years, we are finally looking forward to a happy life for our mother and daughter!" Zhuo burst into tears, holding her daughter's hand and couldn't help crying.

The faint smile on the corner of Qi Tianqing's mouth faded away, she clenched Zhuo's hand, and reminded with a frown: "But mother, don't be too happy, this Lian's family is only temporarily banned from the ancestral hall by my father. If my father calms down after a month , when Lianshi comes out from the ancestral hall, does father want mother to return the power of the family to Lianshi?"

Zhuo's face was anxious when she heard the words, she looked at Qi Tianqing expectantly and asked: "Yes, after all, the master just wants me to be the housekeeper for a while, and when Aunt Lian leaves the ancestral hall, wouldn't the master want to take back the housekeeping right? Qing'er, You give mother an idea, how should I keep the housekeeper in my hands?"

Qi Tianqing pursed her lips and thought for a while and said: "Mother, you have been ill for so many years. The most important thing is that you must recover before you can be a good housekeeper, right? Now that this opportunity has come, we must seize it tightly!"

Zhuo Shi nodded secretly when she heard the words, she had always followed the wishes of this smart daughter.Now that Lian's family has been grounded, and the power of managing the family falls on her, she should get better after being ill for so many years.She naturally understood the deep meaning in her daughter's words.Not only does the Lian family have ambitions and ideas in this country's government.That Ji family is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

The Ji family has always used the old lady's distant cousin as capital. Although she has no brains, there is no guarantee that she will not use her physical discomfort to persuade the old lady to take away the right to head the house.So just like what my daughter said, the most important thing now is that she find a way to make herself recover as soon as possible.

"Qing'er is right, let's put Lian's issue aside first. Things have to be dealt with first. Mother has waited for so many years for an opportunity that is not easy to come by, so I can't be capsized in the gutter!" After thinking clearly, Zhuo Immediately, Shi's complexion improved, and even his originally pale cheeks turned pink due to excitement.

The next day, the third lady, Qi Tianqing, asked the old matriarch to go to the temple to pray for her aunt.Coincidentally, Zen Master Kuhai, the master, took pity on his filial piety and gave him the elixir.Zhuo's body started to improve slowly, starting from resting in bed and gradually getting out of bed for a walk.

After Nanny Gui reported the behavior of Zhuo's mother and daughter during this period, Tianxiang put down the scroll in her hand, and said with a smile: "I just said that Zhuo's family is indifferent to the affairs of the mansion, but she can stand still under the lustful power of Lian's family." .Father's love for her also only increased, and this time she finally couldn't hold back and showed strong ambition!"

Nanny Gui frowned when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Miss, you see we need to..."

"No, don't worry about it beforehand." Tianxiang raised her hand to stop her and said, "I'm also curious as to what kind of ability this Zhuo has to continue singing. But as long as she doesn't plan on me, everything will be fine. .If she doesn't know good from bad, and has evil intentions towards me, hum, then don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

Liuying blinked her eyes, and said angrily: "My servant feels that the master is too partial! This Aunt Lian ordered people to break into the general's mansion without mentioning it, and even tried to destroy the reputation of the young lady! But the master only punished her for a month. Three months of monthly salary, just hurry up! This is really too insignificant!"

This kind of daring act, if it was in other princely and noble families, no matter what, this concubine would be sent to the concubine's room and driven out of the mansion.Even if it doesn't work, you have to beat the [-] big boards hard, and then send it to the family temple, where you will be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with the green lantern for the rest of your life.But the master's mild punishment is really chilling!
"No, Daddy's move is not partial." Tianxiang shook her head, explaining: "Aunt Lian's biological father is the Minister of Rites, and his official position is much higher than that of Daddy. After all, Aunt Lian is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and Daddy doesn't want to fight head-on It’s all for offending Lord Shangshu.” After a pause, Tianxiang said again: “It’s just that Daddy deprived Aunt Lian of her power of housekeeping, this is undoubtedly the greatest punishment for Aunt Lian.”

"Aunt Lian has regarded herself as the mistress of the Duke's Mansion for so many years, and what she cares most about is the power of the housekeeper. Now that her rights have been deprived, she still falls into the hands of Aunt Zhuo, whom she is most hostile to. Tell me, doesn't she hate her to death? Mad?"

Fleeting Nian pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Miss's analysis is clear and logical, and this servant thinks so. Isn't it true? Just now, this servant listened to the chattering of women who did odd jobs, saying that Aunt Lian fainted from last night and has not woken up until now. What! This slave feels that Aunt Lian is probably very angry this time!"

"Heh!" Tianxiang said with a slight smile, "From what you said, Aunt Lian is still lying in Zhaoyue Garden this time, and didn't go to the ancestral hall?"

The hatred in my heart welled up, all the servants of Yuyanzhai were brought by the mother from the general's mansion.They are all loyal to themselves, Aunt Lian has done many evil things and has vicious thoughts, Tianxiang will not let her live so easily!The last time Luo Tianqi told her that he sent people to track down the two coachmen and found that their bodies were randomly discarded in the maple forest!

Tianxiang was really heartbroken when she heard about it, she wished she could shake off Lian's cramp!The servants left by her mother are naturally the best, so there is no need to doubt it.However, that time when the Buddhist temple prayed for blessings, two clever servants were lost, and Tian Xiang was really saddened.A servant is also a human life, if Lianshi disregards human life like this, there will always be retribution!

Without conclusive evidence, Tianxiang can't do anything to Lianshi for the time being.Now that Cuipingyuan is starting to rise, it can be said that the Lian family fell and the Zhuo family rose.Tianxiang knows that Lian's mind is vicious, but her scheming is far inferior to Zhuo's.Tianjiao is even more like a pig, apart from being arrogant and domineering, she has nothing to fear.On the contrary, it is clear and sunny, with deep intelligence and scheming, so now Cuiping Garden is the most feared by Tianxiang.

Taking a sip of tea, Tianxiang put down the cup slowly, then pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "Nurse, go, prepare a generous gift for me to send to Cuiping Garden." Said: "Just say congratulations to Aunt Zhuo for her recovery, and wish her a full recovery as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Nanny Gui nodded upon hearing that, and stepped back to prepare.The Zhuo family has become the new butler of the Duke's Mansion, and needs to be respected both emotionally and rationally.

Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly thought of Luo Tianqi!Alas, this guy is even more annoying, Tianxiang couldn't help but get a headache.He actually took the matter of the General's Mansion and said that Tianxiang must give him a thank you gift!He also said that he saved her again, so he can't play tricks!Tianxiang asked him what he wanted, and the servant said, "I don't know, but girl, you are so smart, you will definitely give me a surprise, right?"

The sky is fragrant and fragrant, this person is also Zhaoyi's elder brother, what rare treasures have you never seen before?She had to think of a gift that was both surprising and delightful!Tianxiang couldn't help rolling her eyes, she had been thinking about it for several days, and she still had no idea!
