Chapter 85: Destroying Wealth and Eliminating Disasters
After listening to Ji's words about the news brought by Liu's, Qiu Yiran was stunned, how could it be? When he was targeted, he really didn't feel anything strange at all. And also...... And also...... Ruqiu was really pregnant, but she didn't even notice it? He was sure that if Ruqiu knew, she would definitely sue him immediately, whether it was vain performance, mother and son were expensive, or wanted to blackmail him.
Ji sighed: "You have only been together for a long time, even if you are pregnant for the first time, that is, more than a month." In such a shallow month, even women who have given birth to children may not be able to detect it in time. ”
Qingyuanhou, who was sitting in the right seat, had a face like ink, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Four years ago, when he returned home drunk at night, he suddenly became interested and drove the carriage himself, but the galloping carriage curled down Lai Dafa, who was hurrying home from his work in a neighboring town, and was run over by horses' hooves and wheels. And Qingyuanhou, who had woken up for most of the time, just frowned, cursed Lai Dafa, who disturbed his interest, a few words, and asked the coachman to drag Lai Dafa, who had passed out, and got into the carriage by himself, to go away.
Lai Dabao, the eldest son who didn't want Lai Dafa, went out to pick up his father, and just saw this scene, rushed up to the front of the carriage and didn't let him go.
Qingyuan Hou was angry, and roared angrily, "Dare to stop my Qingyuan Marquis's carriage, look for death!" While scolding, he snatched the whip from the coachman's hand and jerked it, and the painful horses stepped directly towards Lai Dabao......
By the time the rest of Lai's family and neighbors heard the movement and rushed over, Lai Dafa was already dead, and Lai Dabao was also dying, and only said six words, "Marquis Qingyuan...... The carriage ...... "and went with his father." A blind beggar huddled on the corner of the street told Lai Erbao, the second son of the Lai family, that he had heard the sentence: "Dare to stop my carriage of the Marquis of Qingyuan?
The next day, however, the beggar disappeared and was never seen again.
The little people sued the Marquis of Qingyuan, and the result can be imagined. Although he was able to find out that Lai Dafa and his son did die from the trampling and collision of horses' hooves, no one could prove that it was the carriage of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion who hit it.
The Lai family lost its pillars, had no financial resources, and collapsed all at once. Half a year later, Lai Dafa's wife was sick and left her two sons behind. Fourteen-year-old Lai Erbao and his younger brother survived by doing odd jobs, petty theft, and abduction. People gradually forgot their names, and they were all called "Erlaizi" and "Sanlaizi".
After so many years, the Marquis of Qingyuan has long forgotten about that incident, but it is the lives of two poor and lowly grass people, where will he put it in his eyes? Unexpectedly, it was the son of the poor and lowly grass people, the two gangsters, who stared at his son silently, and choked the throat of their Qingyuan Hou Mansion with such a cruel trick. It's just that although Lu Da is lowly, he is not easy to mess with, especially the backer behind him, and it is not something that they Qingyuan Marquis Mansion dare to offend.
When the Lai family sued him, they should have been accused of framing and slandering the nobles, and the two small ones should have been sent to remote and reckless places.
Hearing Ji's clamor to find someone to kill Ruqiu, Qingyuanhou glared at her directly: "Go to Meizhuang to kill people?" Don't say that Meizhuang's organs are intimidating, let's just say that now there are Jing Wangye and Lin Zhifu taking care of Meizhuang, plus the entanglements and rumors that Qingyuanhou and Meizhuang already have, if you are not careful, the entire Qingyuanhou Mansion will be lost, is it worth it to get rid of an embroidery girl? Besides, then Lu Dazheng is waiting to be a cheap father, you killed the woman and child he targeted, can he let you go? Not to mention that there are two Laizi brothers who are bent on revenge on the Qiu family? As long as they let out the rumor that Ruqiu is pregnant with Yi'er's child, everyone will immediately think of killing people and killing people, how will you clean up that situation when the time comes?" And now there are people in the capital of Governor Lin, who are never lukewarm to him.
Ji couldn't help but shudder, is it really going to be so bad? What should I do then? Seeing Ruqiu marry Lu Da with the piece of meat in her belly, and then give birth to a child?
Suddenly, another flash of inspiration flashed in Ji's mind: "Or, find a way to send a letter in and let Ruqiu know that she is pregnant." She definitely doesn't want to marry Lu Da, it would be better if she was forced to death by Yin Zhiruo's slut!" kill two birds with one stone, not only get rid of Ruqiu, but also ruin Yin Zhiruo's reputation, making her a ruthless infamy and being spurned, it will be much easier for them to calculate her in the future. ”
Qingyuanhou snorted coldly, and looked at Ji's eyes that immediately overflowed with disdain and disappointment: "You are really getting more and more stupid, stupid enough! I have already said just now, Lu Dazhi is bound to win, he just did this to force Yin Zhiruo to let go of the deed and agree to marry Ruqiu Xu to him, and he would not even let Yin Zhiruo know about Ruqiu's pregnancy, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry." As for Ruqiu, he naturally has a way to deal with it, and he doesn't need Yin Zhiruo to do anything at all.
Even if the jar is broken in autumn, making things big and breaking the truth, it is only our Qingyuan Marquis Mansion who is unlucky. If that Ruqiu is still Yin Zhiruo's personal big girl, this matter still has some impact on Yin Zhiruo, but now who doesn't know that Ruqiu is just an embroidery girl a long time ago? Don't you say that the prefect's housekeeper has already known? If someone really digs deeper, I am afraid that the things that Ruqiu and Yi'er eyebrows have been dug up that day, and then we will really be more and more black and unclean. "With the kindness of Yin Zhiruo's grandfather, and the explanation of King Jing, the prefect and his wife will definitely stand on Yin Zhiruo's side.
Qiu Yiran was extremely aggrieved, he didn't look at Ruqiu Mei at that time. With no money and no money, where do you still have the heart to hook up with a maid? I just felt that it was a little strange for Ruqiu to stare at him in a daze, and I was stunned for a moment. If you really talk about it, what did you feel at that time, but she was also bored and despised, the master and the girl left without any nostalgia, but the maid stared at him in a daze, what was the matter?
But he knew very well that his father's words were right, and now it was Lu Da who was manipulating the whole thing, and the only victims were him and their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and although Yin Zhiruo didn't know about it, it was also beneficial and harmless. Although it was a bit depressing to be forced to marry the embroidery girl in the house to a * duke, it was also because Lu Da was not so kind and reasonable as Ruqiu? After all, the embroidery girl is just a subordinate, not a relative, so it is natural to break off the relationship when she marries.
Seeing that the father and son were silent, Ji was anxious: "Then what do you say? Wait for Ruqiu to marry Lu Da, and then think about getting rid of her evil seed after leaving Meizhuang? Or, if it really doesn't work, forget it, in the future, if you don't recognize that child as Yi'er at any time, they won't dare to force us to take a blood test to recognize our relatives, right?"
Qingyuanhou stared at Ji, but did not respond, and the gloomy eyes made Ji couldn't help but be stunned. Well, she soon realized what was wrong. However, you can't blame her, isn't she in a hurry to have no master?
Qiu Yiran finally spoke: "Father, I'll talk to Na Lu, he has never had a holiday with us in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and there is no need to grudge with us." As long as we promise to find him a beautiful daughter-in-law who has just become pregnant, and pay him a generous gift, he will not deliberately go against us. After all, he doesn't want people to know about his hidden illness, does he?"
Qingyuanhou pondered for a while before he said, "It's the only way to go." "Come to think of it, it's the only way to go. It's good to be able to solve it with silver. It's just that a scoundrel is a scoundrel, I'm afraid that Lu has a big appetite.
"Also," Qingyuanhou thought of one more thing, "then Ruqiu, you can only take it back first." As for whether the mother and son will be removed after entering the house, or the mother and child will be removed, let's talk about it. ”
Ji Shi was reluctant again: "According to the method you said, as long as Lu Da doesn't ask for marriage, won't it be fine?
Qingyuanhou didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only threw a sentence over: "Why don't you hurry up and prepare a silver ticket?" Take three thousand taels, and then bring that set of jade tea trays to Yi'er." After finishing speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, he had to go to find someone, in case Lu Da drilled the tip of the bull's horns, and Qiu Yiran couldn't talk about it.
Ji Shi almost didn't scream: "Three thousand taels, why do you want so much? And the jade tea tray? Why?" That set of jade tea trays was one of the two or three most valuable things in her dowry, and it was also worth one or two thousand taels.
Qingyuanhou snorted and threw his sleeves away: "What's more? It adds up to only five thousand taels." Otherwise, do you want to settle this matter with three or five hundred taels? Is the silver important, or is the reputation of your son and the entire Qiu family important?" He also knew that the Ji family would not be able to take out five thousand taels of silver for a while, so he asked her to take out the set of jade tea trays.
The Ji family was so angry that they almost trembled, and it was only 5,000 taels? How many 5,000 taels did the Qiu family have? If you have the ability, don't take her dowry! Even the 3,000 taels of silver tickets must be used with great difficulty, and the 2,000 taels that are prepared for the New Year's gift should be used, okay? If you use it now, how can you use half the New Year's gift? Who said that you must prepare more good things to send to Beijing this year?
Of course, Qiu Yiran knew the current constraints of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and felt a little guilty in his heart: "Mother, this time it is all my son's fault, and it is my son's carelessness." Father also has no choice, Lu Da is the kind of person who is a scoundrel, if he lets his lion open his mouth, he is afraid that he will not be able to stop it for five thousand taels. But don't worry, these five thousand taels won't be spent in vain. After this incident, I found a suitable woman to give to him, and each of them had their own handles, and if I could make friends with the nobles behind him in the future, the silver would not be a loss. "To achieve great things, black and white, any kind of person has to befriend, and you can use it.
When his son said this, Ji was distressed again: "I don't blame you, I blame that cheap woman who can't wait, and she is a disaster star." Yi'er, the silver is spent, and the jade tea tray is sent out, but that cheap woman doesn't have to come back, right? ”
Qiu Yiran shook his head with a wry smile: "Mother, then in order to put pressure on Meizhuang and make things known to everyone, how could he not mention his relatives?
Ji Shi was stunned: "That...... That ......"
Qiu Yiran continued: "All we ask is that he will stop persecuting Meizhuang, because mother, you have long liked Ruqiu's needlework, and Yin Zhiruo promised to wait for Ruqiu to bring out a few other embroidery girls, and give Ruqiu to me as a concubine, so that there is no loss to him or Yin Zhiruo." "No matter what, whether it's an embroidered girl or a maid, if Qiu Zhen has any rumors that are immoral or even unmarried and pregnant, it is always bad for Yin Zhiruo and Meizhuang, so naturally avoid it if it can be avoided.
Ji Shi is not really stupid, but he can't turn around for a while under all kinds of eagerness, what else do you not understand when she hears Qiu Yiran say this? However, as soon as she turned the corner, she turned quickly, and suddenly thought of a new question: "Yin Zhiruo will give the embroidered girl to you as a concubine?" Then, do you want her to ...... Isn't it more difficult?" "Yin Zhiruo is decisive and detached first, regardless of the previous suspicion of giving a maid as a concubine, how can he be willing to enter the Qiu family as a concubine? Even if they really calculate Yin Zhiruo, the world will doubt it."
Qiu Yiran nodded helplessly, how much more difficult? It's simply impossible! But what can be done, the current problem has not really been solved. "Mother, you go and get the silver ticket and the tea tray, I will let Dacheng go to Yolu Da first, and then tell you how to talk to Yin Zhiruo. ”R1152
