Chapter 210: Drama
Since Mrs. Qiu chose to die for Qiu Yiran, and took all the blame for the Hou Mansion's operation of the incense factory, the old marquis and she were completely sure of the dream that Qiu Yanran said, that is, the so-called eldest son they had loved for nearly twenty years, Qiu Yiran, who inherited the title of the Qiu family, was not their son at all, but the son of the enemy who killed their eldest daughter.
Old Marquis Qiu and Ji are very contradictory, but there is no choice.
Qiu Yiran is not their biological son, but now he is the grandfather of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and he is the last generation of the Qiu family's title, even if Qiu Yiran is dead now, or is deprived of the title, their biological son Qiu Xiran will not be able to regain the marquis that should belong to him.
Moreover, whether it is the means of doing things or the sophistication of people, Qiu Yiran is much stronger than Qiu Xiran, who is two years younger than him, after all, this former "eldest son and grandson" was trained by Old Lady Qiu, and Old Master Hou also spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
Therefore, they can only maintain the status quo and continue to support Qiu Yiran's efforts to revitalize the Qiu family. Only in this way can we strive for more for Qiu Xiran and Qiu Yanran. In a word, Qiu Yiran must work hard to create a better situation and life for Qiu Xiran's brothers and sisters, which he owes them, especially Qiu Xiran.
Ji snorted coldly, it's just a girl, she has been raised by her side for more than ten years, not only can she use it to deal with Xu Yuanniang, who is about to enter the door, but she can also "sell" it for a good price in the future, why not?
Filial piety is greater than heaven, not to mention that Qiu Yiran doesn't know anything about his own life experience, even if he does, do he dare to disobey the old marquis and her?
Thinking like this, the Ji family asked people to call Qiu Yiran, and said it earnestly, putting on a loving mother who can endure it for her son: "No matter what, Niuniu is your flesh and blood, no matter how down-and-out and ruthless we are, there is no need to be angry with her for a milk doll, let alone let outsiders make irresponsible remarks about it, affecting the reputation of the Hou Mansion and you." Well, let's move Niuniu to my yard from now on. β
Qiu Yiran was guilty and moved, knelt down and kowtowed to Ji's family: "Son, thank you! "If she had listened to his mother's words earlier, she would not have been forced to enter the door, there would not have been an eldest daughter who was an eyesore and a reputation, and there would have been no calamity of the incense fang and the butterfly seven incense...... The best thing for him is always his mother.
"What is my son doing, hurry up," Ji Shi helped Qiu Yiran with his own hands with a distressed face, "No matter when, no matter what happens, you are always my son!"
"By the way, Yi'er," Ji said, "How did the fine go? Is the one that my mother gave you yesterday enough? In the past few years, the Hou Mansion has been in a recession, and my mother's dowry has been supplemented a lot, and there are only so many that can be taken out." It really doesn't work,...... , alas, if you really take jewelry and those antique calligraphy and paintings, you must also find a reliable person to take it farther. "Otherwise, I can't afford to lose this person!
"Enough, enough," Qiu Yiran hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely return your private dowry." There is also that Zhuangzi, this time it is not sold, before my grandmother gave me some pocket money every month to say that I would use it for entertainment, I returned to the cage last night and calculated, there are more than 3,000 taels. Before coming to see his mother, he was still hesitating whether to take out this private silver to replace the rice grain Zhuangzi, but seeing that his mother was so concerned about him, where was he embarrassed to hide his secrets? As for the cost of going out to socialize, isn't Xu Yuanniang going to marry in soon?
Ji Shi was stunned for a moment, and smiled with relief: "That's fine, such a good field, it's difficult to buy it in the future." With that Zhuangzi here, at least be more down-to-earth, and for the rest, take your time. β
The moment he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, a hatred flashed in Ji's eyes. The dead old woman really hurt her granddaughter to the heart, Xi'er and Yan'er never got any pocket money from her, not a single copper plate. Even if the old marquis is the concubine of the concubine, he is also the son of the old lady and the descendant of the Qiu family. What kind of are Qiu Yiran and Ke Qiaoqiao? Those who eat the Qiu family and the Hua Qiu family are richer and more comfortable than the Xiran brothers and sisters, why?
"Yes," Ji Shi frowned, "Ke Qiaoqiao's yard has a lot of good things, even if you can't take them as pawns, it's good to pack some up and use them for your entertainment." Have you contacted the people of the Ke family? When will Ke Qiaoqiao be sent away?" Early on the morning of the second day of Mrs. Qiu's death, before Ke Qiaoqiao could react, she asked Mrs. Qin to take someone to Ke Qiaoqiao's courtyard to collect all the valuable things and lock them in the warehouse.
Qiu Yiran sighed: "Since my uncle is gone, the Ke family has been even more sluggish, and the last time my aunt and uncle sacrificed together, my grandmother brought the silver and Zhang Luo in the name of my cousin." The elders of the Ke family, who have the closest relationship with his cousin, are said to have only one cousin in the next room, and the whole family lives on a grocery store, and the cousin goes, but he is afraid of ....... Mother, don't forget it, my cousin came to me and said that she didn't want to go back to the south. Because Mrs. Qiu didn't like her son-in-law and the Ke family in her heart, as soon as her daughter died, she took her granddaughter Ke Qiaoqiao to Los Angeles, and Ke Qiaoqiao was really not close to the Ke family.
"Mother," Qiu Yiran continued, "Grandmother loves her cousin the most, she is an old man who has just left, so it's not good for us to send my cousin away, let's keep it first, it's not bad for her to have a bowl of rice, maybe she can still use it." "Although Ke Qiaoqiao is not beautiful, I am afraid that she will not be able to give birth to children in the future, but the young and tender girl is not so young that she can't get married, hasn't Qiu Yanran always been reluctant to do the family affairs of the Ding family?
Although he is not his own son, he has been in pain since he was a child, Ji still knows Qiu Yiran very well, and looked at him for a moment of silence before sighing: "Let's go, you decide, how do you think you can do it, my mother always supports you." "It's because she thinks about it, Ke Qiaoqiao was raised by the Qiu family, isn't it cheap for her to send her away like this? Qiu Yiran has always been a shrewd and ruthless master, and it is impossible to plan for Ke Qiaoqiao. If the dead old woman knows underground, let her see how Qiu Yiran belittles his own sister in exchange for benefits for the Qiu family.
"Mother," Qiu Yiran couldn't help but be moved, he knew very well how much his mother hated Ke Qiaoqiao.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it," Ji waved his hand, "Your Aunt Fang and Cousin Zhiqing are going to Sichuan tomorrow, Yan'er is talking to them, I'll go over and take a look, if Zhiqing really marries the Hong family, maybe the Hong family will be able to help you in the future." β
Ye Shi was summoned by the prefect's mansion once, but she insisted that she only knew that Liu Yun had sent the secret recipe of Jiaoyan Qixiang to Yin Zhiruo, and she didn't know anything else, let alone know if Jiaoyan Qixiang or Butterfly Qixiang had any cold poison. The prefect's mansion has no evidence, even if he bought his mother-in-law Wu Youjia, and he can't be sure who was talking about the poisonous poison of the butterfly seven incense in the back of the carriage that day, so naturally he can't do anything with the Ye family. What's more, Governor Lin's Mansion has added another big achievement this time, and he doesn't want to spread it out when the time comes, saying that his big case of breaking the poison balm is based on the information obtained by the subordinates in the mansion eavesdropping on others, but it just so happens that the Ye family doesn't admit it, so it's over.
Qiu Yiran said with a smile: "What my mother said is that the Hong family's business is also all over Daying, and it is naturally useful to make friends." "Power and money are mutually beneficial, officials and businessmen collude, and even the prince and prince have to win over powerful big businessmen, not to mention their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, whose internal strength is already empty. If Yin Zhao hadn't had an accident last year, and Yin Zhiruo had entered the Hou Mansion, he might not have looked down on the Hong family, but now he ,......
As soon as Qiu Yiran left, Ji closed his eyes and leaned back heavily on the back of the chair, his fingernails piercing his palms. This is just the beginning, and it is really difficult to face the "eldest son" who used to value the most and now has become an enemy!
Mrs. Qin added a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "It's just an orphan girl, after a year of filial piety, find a family that is beneficial to the Hou Mansion and marry out, it's not worth the old lady you to worry about her." Hou Ye is also for the sake of the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the old Hou Ye, as soon as Mrs. Tai left, the old Hou Ye sent away his niece who had no father and mother, and outsiders sounded really cold, maybe what kind of rumors and rumors would come out. β
Ji Shi still closed his eyes: "I know, but I just don't like Ke Qiaoqiao's little slut, it's just that, let her appear less in front of me in the future." "The real life experience of the old marquis and Qiu Yiran, except for their husband and wife and Qiu Yanran, even Qiu Xiran doesn't know, and naturally she won't tell Mrs. Qin, although Mrs. Qin is the most useful and trusted person by her side.
"Lan Xiang," Ji Shi said suddenly, "Do you say that Yin Zhiruo really pretended to be naΓ―ve and clumsy before?" But how can a little girl who has not yet reached the end of her life pretend to be so similar, and she has been pretending to be for many years, and it is said that Fang'er is not so clumsy and easy to deceive." Yan'er said that in her dream, if Yin Zhiruo stayed as a concubine, she obediently handed over most of the dowry within a few days, just like what they had planned before. However, why is it completely different in reality? If the dream is not accurate, but the secret conspiracy of the old lady Qiu was not all discovered by Yan'er in the dream?
Mrs. Qin was a little surprised by the topic that suddenly popped up with her master, but she was relieved when she thought about it, if Yin Zhiruo hadn't suddenly become shrewd and stayed in the Hou Mansion with such a huge dowry, how could the Hou Mansion fall into today's situation? The old lady would not have been taken away. Also, that Aunt Embroidery was originally Yin Zhiruo's personal maid, and Aunt Embroidery dug a pit for the old lady and the Hou Mansion when she was dying, so that the old lady who was eager to kill Niuniu immediately had to take Niuniu to her side to raise her, and it was normal for the old lady to think of the "culprit" Yin Zhiruo at this moment.
However, she really couldn't answer, and sighed and said, "Old lady, the slave maid heard that the county lord of Qianxin was not very prominent when her parents and brother were alive. βR1152
