"Sister, do you really want to go back?"

Gu Yao sat on the big kang by the window in the west room, her two little feet hanging in the air and swaying casually, but her eyes chased the busy Gu Jialuo, and said with some reluctance.

"Well, the sage has made an order, the Qi family's case has finally been decided, and I should go back." Gu Jialuo opened the top vertical cabinet of Huanghuali Baibao inlaid with a treasure map, and took out a one-foot-square four-layer lacquer box with rosewood inlaid flowers and fruit patterns from inside, she saw that the lacquer box was placed on the kang table, and opened it one by one to look at it, and there were many things on each layer: keys, deed paper and a book of account books.

This is all Gu Jialuo's belongings, she will go back to the Qi family tomorrow, and the dowry and everything are re-inventoried, and now what she has to do is to bring them all back.

Gu Yao pouted, and said with a little unbearable: "But, but the Qi family has been stripped of the title by the sage, and the mansion of the Guogong Mansion has also been taken back, except for the sacrificial fields and the dowries of several female dependents, all the properties of the Qi family have been confiscated, and now the family is even more aggrieved to stay in the mansion of the county lord of Qinghe......"

Two months ago, the sage dispatched 30,000 guards to form the Pingxi Army, appointed Yang Jizong, the prince of the British prince, as the commander-in-chief, and Qi Lingxian, the prince of Qianguo, as the deputy commander, and hurried to the southwest to quell the rebellion.

Yesterday, a war report came from the southwest, and the Pingxi army mainly appeased and exterminated as a supplement, which took half a month to finally stabilize the situation in the southwest.

The 'murder case of Qi Mian' also had a final verdict: the eldest princess had no way to teach her son, cut off the title of the eldest princess, and the fief and the princess's mansion were all taken back by the imperial court; although the Duke of Qianguo was guilty of meritorious service, his merits and demerits were not commensurate, and his family property was confiscated; and all the men of the Qi family and the two mansions were dismissed from their official positions.

The Qi family's power in the southwest for nearly a hundred years was uprooted by the saints, and the entire Qi family was also greatly damaged.

However, the saint did not wipe out the Qi family, the Qi family's sacrificial field was saved, and the dowries of the Qi family's daughters were also retained. The sage did not completely cut off the career of the Qi family, as long as someone recommended it, as long as there was a suitable official position, the Qi family could still fill the position.

It's just that, for now, with the current situation of the Qi family, it will be difficult for the men of the Qi family to enter the official career in recent years.

Overnight, the Qi family fell from heaven to hell, and several in-laws of the Qi family also stood up to draw a line with the Qi family.

The first to propose reconciliation was Qi Qinzhi's wife, the eldest grandmother of the Qi family's East Mansion, Zhao. The Zhao family is the daughter of the Zhao family of the Marquis of Guangping, who has been married to Qi Qinzhi for nearly ten years, and has only one daughter under his knees.

It stands to reason that a noble family like the Marquis of Guangping should not be so shallow and down-to-earth, and the reason why the Zhao family reconciled was not because of the defeat of the Qi family, but because of Qi Qinzhi's unkindness.

This time, Qi Qinzhi caused a big disaster, and Jin Liangwei was ordered to go to the southwest to investigate in detail, and found out many things about him. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about illegal things such as abusing and killing mountain people and oppressing the people, what Zhao can't tolerate the most is that Qi Qinzhi actually raised a noble concubine in the southwest, and the noble concubine gave birth to two sons and a daughter to Qi Qinzhi, and the eldest son is nine years old.

In other words, not long after the Zhao family married Qi Qin, one of Qi Qinyi went to the southwest and accepted this concubine.

And according to the news from the southwest, Qi Qinzhi loved the concubine very much, and in the Qi Mansion in the southwest, the people respectfully called the concubine 'grandma'.

As soon as the Zhao family heard this, they immediately became angry: There is only one uncle in the Qi family's East Mansion, where are the two grandmothers from? She is the daughter of a dignified marquis, but she has been reduced to the point of being 'called' with a merchant girl?

The Zhao family hated Qi Qinzhi for ignoring the relationship between husband and wife, and even hated the Qi family for bullying people too much. Qi Qinzhi accepted a concubine, will Qi Lingyuan, who lives in the same mansion, know? Will the eldest princess, who is favored by Qi Qinzhi, be unclear?

But for eight or nine years, the Zhao family didn't hear any rumors, this was by no means her Zhao family's incompetence, but the Qi family was connected up and down, and she was just hiding from her.

It's really 'tolerable or unbearable', Zhao's anger made her daughter unable to take care of it, and asked to leave with Qi Qinzhi.

Closely followed by Zhao's is the third grandmother Luo. Luo is a merchant girl, and the Luo family did everything possible to climb the Qi family, in order to find a backer. As a result, the Qi family was defeated, and the Luo family married in less than two years, and did not give birth to a son and a half daughter.

Taking advantage of Luo's youth, he learned a lot of rules in the Qi family, as long as he accompanies a lot of dowry, he may be able to marry a good family again.

The Qi family's East Mansion suddenly lost two young grandmothers, and the eldest princess, who only improved her condition slightly, was angry again. And what made the eldest princess feel even more embarrassed was that there were two shallow-eyed 'sluts' in Dongfu, but none of the female dependents in Xifu wanted to break away from the Qi family.

What's more, Gu Jialuo, the grandmother of Xifu who had been taken back to her parents' home, did not take the opportunity to leave, but announced in a high-profile manner that she would return to the Qi family.

That's right, although Gu Jialuo had already decided to return to Qi's house, he had never taken action. Because the thousand-year-old fox Cousin Feng said, "Since you have decided to go back, you must go back at the most appropriate time." ”

Cousin Feng's so-called 'most opportune time' was after the sage announced the verdict of the Qi family.

The sage's will reached the Qi family on the front foot, and Cousin Feng ordered people to create public opinion in the market, saying that the Gu family understood the righteousness and did not suspect that the husband's family was defeated, and was willing to return to the Qi family with all the dowry to serve the elder in-laws and husband.

After Cousin Feng's operation, in less than a day, half of the people in the capital knew about Gu's 'righteous act'. At this moment, no one mentions Gu Jialuo's past affair, on the contrary, as long as the Qimen Gu family is mentioned, whether it is true or false, he must give a thumbs up and praise the sentence 'virtuous and virtuous', which can be called a model of a virtuous woman.

Isn't she a 'virtuous woman', who is poor and unswerving, which is by no means something that ordinary people can do.

Even the people of the Gu family don't understand Gu Jialuo's decision very well. Gu Lin ridiculed Gu Jialuo for being stupid behind his back more than once, and buried his life for the sake of fame.

Gu Yao didn't understand either, she didn't think that her sister would suffer when she returned to the Qi family, the Qi family was defeated, but the county lord of Qinghe was still there, and Gu Jialuo still had a rich dowry in his hand, even if it was 'suffering', it wouldn't be anywhere, but it didn't have the dignity of the Guogong Mansion.

Gu Yao just felt worthless for her sister, "Sister, how long did you say that Qi Jinzhi has been back in Beijing, except for the time when he came to our house to pick you up, he refused to come one more time." And the rest of the Qi family, none of them have ever come to visit you...... Sister, the Qi family doesn't value you at all, so why do you bother to talk to them. ”

Gu Yao is young, her world is very simple, and she pays attention to happiness and hatred: if you are good to me, I will be good to you. If you're sorry for me, I won't be polite to you!

Gu Jialuo smiled, put the lacquer box away, and said, "You can't say that, I also did something wrong in the past." ”

Gu Yao still pouted, obviously not persuaded by Gu Jialuo's words.

Gu Jialuo reached out and pinched her bulging cheeks, "Okay, my sister knows that you are reluctant to me, don't worry, I just went back to my husband's house, and I didn't leave the capital, and the Qi family is not far from home." I'll come back to see you whenever I have time. ”

After living at home for a few months, Gu Jialuo's biggest gain was not to learn many housekeeping experiences, but to grow with his family. With these days of getting along, it seems that the estrangement of the past four years has gradually disappeared.

The support of her relatives has greatly increased Gu Jialuo's confidence, and she is no longer worried and rejected about returning to the Qi family, and even she has some faint expectations, maybe in the Qi family, she will have a new life.

Gu Jialuo looked forward to the day when he returned to the Qi family, but some people refused to have anything to do with the Qi family again.

Or in the private room of Yunlai Teahouse, Yao Xiruo sat opposite Qi Mianzhi with an alienated attitude, and said lightly: "I'm here, where are my things?" Can you give it back to me? ”

The god of fate is really joking, since she was given a chance to be reborn, why not a few months earlier? It's just that she was reborn after she just had contact with Qi Mianzhi, this, didn't she deliberately make trouble for her.

I haven't seen him for two months, Qi Mianzhi has lost a lot of weight and haggard, his handsome face has a little more vicissitudes, and the originally suave peach blossom eyes have added a bit of gloom, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Ah Ruo has become so indifferent, why, did you forget that day, we we-"

Yao Xiruo was afraid that Qi Mianzhi would say something unbearable, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Don't mention the past again." I have to go to the palace in the afternoon to give the ninth princess a follow-up visit, if Young Master Qi has anything to say, let's just say it. ”

Qi Mianzhi's eyes flickered, in the past two months, he had tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and he was used to seeing the hot and cold state of the world, and he was not surprised at all when he saw Yao Xiruo turn his face and refuse to recognize the old feelings.

That's fine, if you Yao Xi are ruthless, don't blame me for Qi Mianzhi's unrighteousness, the corner of his eye glanced at the door of the box, Qi Mian said: "Ah Ruo, you can be like this, I'm very happy." You and I are in love, originally said that I would treat you to filial piety, so I begged my mother to send the official media to Gu's family to propose marriage, who would have thought that something happened at home...... Now that the dust has finally settled, it's time for our family affairs to be put on the agenda. Ah Ruo, don't worry, you are affectionate and righteous to me, and I will not let you down. Although our Qi family was defeated, my grandmother is still there, and the foundation of the family is still there, if you marry into the Qi family, I will never let you suffer. ”

Yao Xiruo's face changed greatly, who, who wants to marry into the Qi family? The Qi family has declined, and although it will be revived in the future, it will be more than ten years later. Now that she has won the favor of the nobles in the palace, and Master Miaozhen is her backer, she chooses a good marriage, why does she want to jump into the big pit of the Qi family to suffer? !

Yao Xiruo caught the strange light flickering in Qi Mianzhi's eyes, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, at this moment, a female voice suddenly came from outside, "...... It seems to be Sister Yao's voice, Sister Yao, is it you? ”

Before the word '?' was spit out, the door was pushed open, and the little second child of the restaurant, as well as the master and servant of the ninth princess, stood outside the door, and the ninth princess was innocent and asked curiously: "It's really Sister Yao." Hey? This young master looked familiar, as if he had seen ...... somewhere."

The little face of the ninth princess was full of doubts, but the villain in her heart had already pinched her waist and laughed: Yao Xiruo, you 'saved' me, this princess has repaid her kindness and decided to find an 'excellent' marriage for you. Qi Mianzhi, it's the grandson of the eldest princess, her temperament is a little sloppy, and she is useless, but her status is precious, so you can enjoy it raw!
