Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 64
Qi Zhongqing twitched the corners of her eyes, and glanced at Tian Xiang who seemed to be crying sadly, a flash of admiration flashed across her shrewd eyes.Old Madam Qi was really taken aback by Tianxiang's actions, she seemed to be crying sadly when she saw Qi Tianxiang, and she couldn't react.There were mixed feelings in my heart for a moment, thinking of that gentle and dignified daughter-in-law, I felt even more guilty and pity for Tianxiang.

When Lian Shangshu saw this, he immediately became angry from embarrassment, and said angrily: "When did I mention your mother who died young? I am clearly talking about my virtuous, virtuous, dignified and noble daughter!" While talking, Lian Shang Shu blushed a little angrily, which showed that he was very angry.

Qi Tianxiang stopped crying when she heard the words, raised her red eyes, glared at Lian Shangshu angrily and said, "The mistress of Duke Qi's mansion has always been my mother who died young! Although my mother passed away many years ago, It’s just that Dad has never set up the main room. Therefore, the head of the Duke Qi’s mansion naturally refers to my mother. It’s just that Lian Shangshu suddenly said such a sentence, does it mean that Aunt Lian has the idea of ​​coveting the wife of the main room?”

Qi Tianxiang had already thought about it when she came, she originally wanted to watch a play.It's just that since Lian Shangshu is unwilling to do her part well, don't blame Tianxiang for not giving her face.Hmph, at your age, you still run out and meddle in other people's family affairs, you are really shameless and shameless!

Lian Shangshu became even more furious when he heard the words. In a fit of desperation, he pointed at Qi Tianxiang and shouted tremblingly: "You little brat! I am a high-ranking official and the daughter of the Shangshu's mansion. Isn't it qualified to be the official of Qi Guogong's mansion?" Mrs. Shi?" Perhaps Tian Xiang was impatient, but Lian Shangshu didn't know how to measure it.

Duke Qi's mansion is a family with meritorious service in the founding of the country. Although the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no need to fight.And Qi Zhongqing, the general's military power, has been taken over by the Xijing Emperor step by step, leaving only the vain title of the Duke's Mansion.It's just that it still can't change the status of the first-rank Duke of the Duke's Mansion.Even in reality, the status and treatment of being reduced to a third-rank official.

This duke title is still listed in the list of Yipin duke titles.Although Lian Shangshu is a first-rank official, he is only a first-rank official position. Compared with the Duke's Mansion, it is still far behind.What's more, the old man followed his ancestors in the southern and northern wars and made great contributions.Even when Qi Zhongqing was young, he was also a young general who fought on the battlefield.

"It seems that Lord Shangshu intends to intervene in the family affairs of our Duke's Mansion? If so, then Tianxiang's maternal ancestral family is also Tianxiang's relatives, and they should also invite people to invite Tianxiang's relatives from the General's Mansion. I think my grandmother and Uncle General are also very concerned about the fact that Aunt Lian covets the wife of the Duke's mansion!"

Qi Tianxiang spoke unhurriedly, without a trace of anxiety or fear on his face.Tianxiang's move was also a vaccination for Qi Zhongqing, and stopped Qi Zhongqing's idea of ​​supporting Zhuo as his wife when Zhuo's eldest son was born.It just so happened that Lian Shangshu was also here today, so Tianxiang would once and for all break Lian's thoughts.

Old Madam Qi coughed dryly, looked at Tianxiang and scolded softly: "Tianxiang, you child, hurry up and apologize to Master Shangshu! Don't be rude, when did Master Shangshu say that he interfered in our Duke's family affairs? He just thought The daughter is eager, this visit is just to see my daughter."

Old Madam Qi's intentions are very simple, one is to give his in-law Weng Lian Shangshu a step down.Second, he also told Lian Shangshu that he would never want to dictate and meddle in the family affairs of the Duke's mansion.Even if the Duke's Mansion really wants to set up a wife, it has nothing to do with Lian Shangshu.

Lian Shangshu blushed, seeing that Mrs. Qi took the initiative to speak, so naturally it was hard to continue.If it is too much, it may backfire by then.He can't come to the Duke's Mansion every day, if he offends Mrs. Qi, it is estimated that his daughter and granddaughter will be really sad in the Duke's Mansion in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Lian Shangshu could only go down the steps, and said with a smile: "I really have no intention of interfering in your family's housework, but today the official came to visit my daughter and granddaughter, can my in-laws allow my daughter and granddaughter? Come over for a talk?"

A hint of sarcasm was drawn on the corner of Qi Tianxiang's lips, and the sneer in his eyes disappeared in a flash.Finally, we have come to the point, and today's highlight has officially begun.

Hearing this, Qi Zhongqing was a little embarrassed and coughed several times.Then he looked expectantly at the old matriarch, and found that the old matriarch didn't look at him, so he had to pick up the teacup, looking like he was drinking tea seriously.

Old Madam Qi glanced at her son from the corner of her eye, and immediately turned away the help-seeking look she gave herself, ignoring it.Holding the Buddhist beads in his hand, the old lady squinted her eyes, as if she was reciting scriptures.The mother and daughter of the Lian family made a mistake and were punished into the ancestral hall, but they were not allowed to see guests.It's just that Shangshu came to see someone in person, and the old matriarch couldn't find a good excuse, so he could only pretend to be an old monk to enter meditation.

Tianxiang is funny from the bottom of her heart, her father and grandmother are both foxes.The room fell into an unprecedented tranquility, Tianxiang also pursed her lips knowingly and remained silent.In terms of patience, she has more endurance than anyone else.Glancing at the account book, Tianxiang took one casually and began to read it seriously.Since she didn't speak, she honestly kept silent.

Lian Shangshu didn't say anything else, he just waited for a long time, but no one made a sound, so he became a little anxious.Seeing the three people doing their own things, Lian Shangshu started to have a headache, bit the bullet, pulled his old face and said: "I said that you are wrong, my in-laws, why are you not talking again?"

After saying this, Lord Shangshu looked at Old Madam Qi, and then at the son-in-law.In the end, he looked at Qi Tianxiang helplessly, blew his beard and stared and said, "Little girl, come and tell me, where are your aunt and sister?"

Qi Tianxiang raised her head from the account book when she heard the words, with a puzzled look on her face: "Oh, which aunt is Tianniang asking? Which younger sister? In the Duke's mansion, Tianxiang has three aunts, and the younger sister also has three. A oh!"

"You actually..." Lian Shangshu was furious, but because he couldn't grasp the truth in Tianxiang's words, he could only say with trembling fingers: "Who can I say? I asked, of course, your Aunt Lian, and You are such a spoiled little sister!"

"Oh..." Qi Tianxiang prolonged her voice on purpose, and then said with a smile without blushing and heartbeat: "What a coincidence, Mr. Shangshu, you came at a bad time. Aunt Lian really did what you said Virtuous and virtuous, one of my father's aunts is happy, Aunt Lian is really happy for my father, and offered to go to the ancestral hall to pray for the ancestors!"

"Father and grandmother feel sorry for Auntie, but Auntie Lian insists on going, and even bluntly said that she will not come out if she does not stay in the ancestral hall for a full month! As for Sister Tianjiao, she is also filial and worried that Auntie will be alone in the ancestral hall. So I also went to the ancestral hall, saying that I came here to be a companion for Aunt Lian, and I can also pray to my ancestors to bless Aunt Youxi to be safe and well!"

Naturally, Tianxiang said that on purpose, Lian Shangshu must have known about Lian's mistakes.Then Tianxiang gave him a last choice, he wanted everyone to know that his daughter didn't want to repent and send him a letter for help during the confinement period, or wanted a virtuous one who was willing to chant scriptures and pray for the aunt who was pregnant with children in the mansion The daughter of this reputation?
What's more, the concubine who was punished and confined to the ancestral hall shows that she made too serious a mistake.If it is spread out, won't it make people suspect that he has no way to teach daughters?When the censor is not free, just read him a book!What's more, Tianjiao, his precious granddaughter, was so vicious that she pushed her pregnant aunt, so she was beaten, wouldn't it be more serious?
Then Lianshi would have to bear another, the infamy of being a poor godmother.Lian Shangshu frowned fiercely, he is really in a dilemma now, it seems that he doesn't want to complain to his daughter and granddaughter today.

Old Madam Qi was naturally satisfied with Tianxiang's words, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lian Shangshu and said: "My father-in-law loves his daughter, so I understand this kind of heart. I also have children, so I naturally feel the same. It's just that Once, it was Lianshi who insisted on going to the ancestral hall to pray for blessings. Since she is so devout, the Buddha must also remember her. The in-laws really miss her very much, so after Lianshi's blessings are over, I will let her go back to Shangshufu to visit you in person That's it. What do you think?"

"Okay! Very good!" Lian Shangshu came to ask the teacher this time, but returned in vain.When I left, I was so angry that my beard trembled.

After sending Lian Shangshu away, Qi Zhongqing suddenly remembered Tianxiang's purpose.With a flash of light in his eyes, Qi Zhongqing stared at Tianxiang and asked: "Xiang'er, just now you said that there is a discrepancy in the accounts, tell my father quickly, what's the problem?"

Naturally, Qi Tianxiang was ready, and immediately took an account book, opened it, pointed to the place where the records were made, pointed to Qi Zhongqing and said, "Daddy, look here, and here... My daughter found out, we There are a total of more than a dozen shops in the Duke's Mansion, but only four really make money! The rest of the shops have been losing money! Auntie has been in charge of the house for more than ten years, and this matter has never been reported! They use the profitable shops to help the loss-making The shop fills the vacancy! Daddy, if things go on like this, won't the shop in our Duke's Mansion be closed sooner or later?"

Old Madam Qi's face was full of anger when he heard the words, and after they exchanged a glance with Qi Zhongqing, the last trace of their affection for Lian Shi disappeared.Especially Mrs. Qi, immediately took the account book and looked through it.I couldn't bear to see this, and immediately said angrily: "This cunning poisonous woman! Didn't she say that every shop is doing well? This...these more than a dozen shops are losing so much!"

Naturally, Qi Tianxiang didn't do anything, what she said was the truth.Because those shops are all her mother's dowry, that is to say, when she gets married, these are all her dowry.Now that she knows how to run the house, she naturally needs to take good care of the shop and pull out the moths!
Seeing this, Qi Zhongqing found that the account book was exactly what Tianxiang said.Now he was even more angry, and what happened to Lianshi and Tianjiao a while ago made him even more angry.Regardless of whether Tianxiang was still here, Qi Zhongqing opened her throat and cursed: "Lian Shi, you damn bitch! I haven't been involved in family affairs these years, and she dares to hide such a big matter from me! How unreasonable! This bitch! "

The old matriarch Qi was also very angry, and agreed with Qi Zhongqing, and yelled at Lianshi with deep hatred.Qi Tianxiang honestly didn't say a word, she won't throw stones at Lian Shi for the time being.What the mother and daughter of the Lian family owed her, Tianxiang will take it back ten times and a hundred times!The death of her mother is now another suspicion for Tianxiang.

Now those shops are owned by the mother's dowry, so Tianxiang will naturally have to take them back.And, having lost so much money over the years, it must have been a lot of money.Tian Xiang frowned and thought deeply, she must find a way to make Lianshi swallow as much as she can and spit it out!

Moreover, as a matter of urgency, those shops must quickly find a way to reconcile their accounts.

Qi Zhongqing was angry for a while, and suddenly noticed that her daughter's eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was thinking about something.Immediately asked curiously: "Xiang'er, what are you thinking about so preoccupied?"
