The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 117

The most important thing for the rich and powerful families in the capital is face, and what is more humiliating than a lawsuit?The lawsuit is still such a serious and well-organized case, with the testimony of the genius doctor Quan Zhongbai... When the time comes, the Shuntian Mansion Prime Minister will come to arrest people, and the female family members of the Xu family will really be taken into prison to show their faces in court To show people a joke?

If they really want to come to this point, the Xu family and the Yang family will really break up completely.

But it is not so easy to hand over a murderer who satisfies the eldest wife. Without real evidence, who would be the scapegoat who knows he must die?
The old man was frowning all day long, his beard was broken, and looking at Qin Niangzi was like looking at a toad.

Seventh Lady ignored her, and in the end she simply shut the door and stayed away. She only read and wrote in the backyard all day long, and never went to see the eldest wife. Now when the eldest wife looks at her, she thinks of Fifth Lady, and whenever she thinks of Fifth Lady, she feels sad Come.

Just at this time, in Guangxi and Yunnan, the Miao people started to riot again. Since the fall of Beirong, these chieftains have been a little restless, and this year they finally couldn't help making waves.The documents for Xu Fengjia's leave to go home for the funeral arrived in the capital, and the edict of the new emperor ordering him to stop by the way to suppress the rebellious general arrived in the capital.
State affairs are naturally more important than family affairs, so Xu Fengjia had no choice but to send his own soldiers home to deliver a letter to inform everyone about the matter, and then he led his troops to Guangxi.

At the end of April, the capital is already full of grass and warblers are flying, and it looks like summer. The wind from the south blows past the White Pagoda, stirring up waves on the Taiye Pool.When I was young, Yongfang was on the edge of Taiye Pool, and several little girls climbed up the tree to see the scenery of Taiye Pool.

It is rare for the Elder Master to take Seventh Lady out to serve in the study.

Ever since she acted as a substitute in the Xu family and put on the table the fact that Wu Niangzi was harmed by others, Qi Niangzi had fallen out of favor with the Elder Master for a long time, and she suddenly sent someone to summon her today. Although surprised, but not flustered.

She followed Mama Tai who led the way—Mama Tai replaced Mama Dong, and took on the job of delivering news to and from the inner and outer courts—all the way into the small study room, and just after entering the inner room, she had a fight with a strange middle-aged man. Facing the face, before he had time to evade, the elder introduced, "This is your uncle from the Xu family, come and see him soon."

It had been a long time since he had such a good look towards Qin Niangzi.

Qi Niangzi became more and more curious in her heart, but on the surface she was naturally perfunctory. She respectfully gave the Eldest Master and Duke Pingguo Xu Heng. Goodbye, my lord.The Eldest Master hurriedly took Seventh Lady again, and sent Ping Guogong down the steps. Seeing that he was far away, he restrained his smile and brought Seventh Lady into the study.

However, his attitude towards Qinianzi has changed again, as if all the quarrels have never happened before, and he returned to the time when he first discovered the advantages of Qinianzi, the eyes he looked at her were not only smiling, but more satisfied.

"The Xu family came to the door in person today, and they talked about two things." After changing tea, the father and daughter sat opposite each other, and the elder opened his mouth to talk about the Xu family. "Silang had a high fever yesterday. Although the fever subsided today, everyone was still terrified. On the other hand, your third aunt worked hard for days, and finally passed out today. Please ask Quan Ziyin to come and help her." I have a pulse, and it is said... that I may not be able to survive this test."

When mentioning the Xu family, he naturally had a three-pointed look on his face. Qin Niangzi saw it in her eyes, but thought it was a bit funny. She nodded with a calm expression.

"It's time too." The tone couldn't help being slightly sarcastic.

At that time, the old mother did understand the hint of the elder.

The eldest wife has already pursued the death of Wu Niangzi with an almost crazy pursuit, like a hungry hunting dog who must find a prey in order to vent the endless bloodlust in her heart.

To wake her up from this "abnormal" state, and make the eldest wife become a mistress who knows how to calculate, know how to make choices, and can cut off the wrists of a strong man, she can only use extraordinary means.

When the elder asked about his little grandson, he had to say it was a kind of reminder.As long as Mrs. Xu is not stupid, of course she wants to use the safety of her little grandson to remind the eldest wife: the dead are gone, and there are more living people who need the care of the eldest wife.

Although this move is simple, it directly hits people's hearts. Even if Qiniangzi had expected this, she couldn't deal with it.After all, Shiro and Goro are in the hands of the Xu family, whether they are sick or not, is it just a word from the Xu family?

"After your mother heard it, she fainted again. Now that she wakes up, her mood is much calmer." The old man continued the conversation slowly.

It can be seen that he is in a good mood.

Seventh Lady couldn't help touching the filial piety clothes on her body again. Fifth Lady passed away, and she will have to mourn for nine months, and now she is still wearing burlap clothes.

"In a while, you go into the main courtyard to talk with your mother and comfort her."

The Eldest Master gave some more trivial instructions, then took a deep breath, looked solemn, and looked into Seventh Lady's eyes to continue the description.

"The Xu family also said something-seeing that your third aunt doesn't know if she can survive this time. Even if she survives, she may be lingering on her last breath and unable to handle family affairs. Mrs. Tai is old and not suitable for labor. Duke Pingguo It means that the Duke's mansion must have a wife who is the master of the family. He must be in charge of the family when he enters the door, so as not to lose balance inside and outside the mansion, and make Fengjia feel cold. Wife. During this year, the two little grandchildren were temporarily sent to the Qin family's uncle's house to be raised. Of course, there are some high-sounding excuses, but you understand the meaning. "

"No matter what your mother thinks, I have already agreed to this marriage. When Feng Jia is born in a year, you will get married immediately. Whether your sister's two sons can grow up safely depends on your means. I know that Xiao Qi and her sister have a deep relationship, and they really want to find out the real culprit, so they don't hesitate to kidnap the relationship between the two. Presumably, they will definitely not refuse."

Qiniangzi's mind was buzzing, she looked at the old man blankly, for a while, she couldn't make any reaction.

The Elder's words didn't mean any discussion at all, his tone was firm, and his words were not so much a discussion as an announcement.There was even a faint sarcasm in the words, as if she was laughing at Qin Niangzi who lifted a rock and smashed her own foot instead.

"I didn't expect to ask your third uncle to wait just now. I went in and told your mother, and your mother also agreed. She must have a lot of things to tell you when I go in later." things, but cold and sharp as ice. "I'm going to issue a memorial tomorrow to ask for the Dingheyi method. There are still a lot of things to do, Xiao Qi will go down first."

It took a long time for Seventh Lady to come back to her senses.

She stared blankly at the face of the old man, as if she had never known this strange politician, and after a long time, she managed to squeeze out a dry smile.

"Your Excellency really trusts Yang Qi." She stood up slowly, looking at the Eldest Master like two arrows piercing her heart. "Or should I say, in my lord's heart, I, Yang Qi, am just an obedient chess piece, and it is absolutely impossible to backfire? My lord is not afraid... I will marry with resentment, and what will happen?!"

These words were asked very sharply by Qin Niangzi, as if a few small knives were caught inside, and they stabbed straight into the old man's ears.

The elder was neither arrogant nor impetuous, he just took a sip of tea leisurely and smiled slightly. "Why is Xiao Qi such an impulsive person? If Brother Jiu makes such a threat, I might still believe it. As for you, even if you kill Dad, Dad won't believe it."

Yes, she still has Brother Nine!She can't put Brother Jiu between her struggle with her parents, it's difficult for Brother Jiu!
Qin Niangzi was so angry that she felt like thousands of knives were poking her heart for a while, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

He barely opened his mouth, and when he was about to say a few words, his throat spurted out sweet and fishy heat, and there was a mouthful of bright red blood on the table.

She was so scared that she covered her mouth.

Even the elder's expression changed.

Instead, he seemed to be furious because of this mouthful of blood, stood up and raised his hand, and slapped Qiniangzi. "Don't you care about the death of your fifth sister more than the future of the entire Yang family? If you dare to put the relationship between Yang and Xu's family on the scale, don't blame yourself for being a bargaining chip. Even if you die, you will have to die after the Xu family! What's the use of vomiting blood in front of me? If you have the ability, go back and eat back what you said and what you did! It's unworthy to have a girl——Yang Qi, don't think you are smart, you are the whole Yang family The most unworthy daughter!"

The moment Qiniangzi covered her face, she was not thinking of herself.

She remembered the reaction of Fifth Lady when she was slapped by the Grand Master.

Before being beaten, she still had a lot of grievances, but after that slap, Wu Niangzi only had stubbornness in her eyes.

Because she was downright cold-hearted.

Wu Niangzi may be more confused than herself in many things, but she has a thorough understanding of the old man earlier than Qi Niangzi.

At this moment, she also didn't want to let the slightest bit of her frustration be revealed to the Elder Master.

She raised her head, calmly wiped away the blood from her lips, straightened her back, and smiled faintly at the old man.

"Xiaoqi is not smart in the first place."

Her tone was softer than the spring breeze, but her eyes were as hard as steel, iron. "Father taught me that Xiaoqi, Brother Nine, cousin Zixiu, and Uncle Lian Shi, whom I have never met but love each other for a while, I am not helpless in this world! There are still one or two Personal, take pity on my life experience, care about my joy!"

The old man's expression changed suddenly.

Just as she was about to ask in detail, Qin Niangzi had already turned her head and left the small study room without looking back.
