When Tang Shaoshuai came back, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Qu Ning and Yi leaned on the chaise longue and flipped through the account book, and when he saw him entering the door in a military uniform, he buckled the things in his hand: "The young marshal is back?" Can you use it for dinner? ”

Tang Zhong shook his head and glanced at the table that had been cleaned: "Madame, it's time to have eaten, right?" Just let the kitchen order some noodles. ”

He took off his chilly coat and hung it on the hanger as he rolled up his sleeves.

After many years of military service, he took off his thick military coat, and Young Marshal Tang's figure was completely like a clothes rack.

The shoulders are broad, the waist is broad and the waist is thin, and the belt is tightly tightened around the waist.

Qu Ning looked at his back, pulled a pair of soft-soled shoes from the chaise longue, went to the door and ordered them to go and give the young marshal a note, and then walked to him with a smile.

Well, there's no fat powder.

There is also no smell of alcohol.

There is a kind of ...... The smell of dust and choking gunsmoke.

Qu Ning smiled secretly, gently rested her hand on his shoulder, and pinched it tentatively, his muscles tightened, and then he relaxed, closed his eyes slightly, she knocked on his shoulder, and then began to pound gently, and slowly spoke: "Sincerely, the people around the third sister, I want to replace her with a batch as soon as possible." ”

Tang Shaoshuai said "um" lightly, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I have already told my father about the affairs of the inner courtyard, and I will leave everything to you to handle." Naturally, my sister's side is no exception. After a pause, "You are her sister-in-law, just let it go." ”

Qu Ning laughed when he heard this, and his hand stopped-he snorted dissatisfiedly, he really enjoyed: "The young marshal trusts me, that's my honor." But the big handsome side ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Zhong had already reached out and grabbed her hand.

His eyes, which were originally slightly closed, suddenly opened, and he looked back at her closely, and his dark eyes seemed to be burning with an inextinguishable flame: "Since you and I are husband and wife, we are one." My position is your position. As for my father's concubines and aunts, they are just kittens and dogs, the same thing, to be beaten, sold and rectified, and everything is up to you. ”

Qu Ning listened in a daze, until he said "something like a thing", her eyebrows jumped, and her heart flashed.

Ben swallowed the words that came to her mouth, she thought about it for a while, and said with a forced smile: "Having said that, there are some things, I should say hello to the young marshal." Skillfully withdrawing her hand as she spoke, she walked back to the table and took the account book, turning to the month's account.

The touch of the warm nephrite in his hand still lingered, but the woman had already slid out of his arms like a swimming fish.

On Young Marshal Tang's face, the unswerving color shrouded down like a dark cloud, but when Qu Ning put the account book in front of him, he still quietly lowered his eyes and looked at her meaning.

The numbers on it were dense, and he frowned slightly, but he really didn't see anything specific.

This is very contrary to the woman's solemn statement.

"Young marshal, look, these are the expenses of the third sister's yard." Qu Ning glanced at him with a smile, and pointed out the numbers to Tang Shaoshuai one by one: This uncle obviously loves his sister very much, and every time he comes back from a war, he always brings back some rough jewelry, mink silk, medicinal materials for health cultivation, and some imported consumables - only about a part of it is recorded in the account, but this part alone is already expensive and smacking.

He didn't just give things, but the love of an older brother for a younger sister.

As for the other two girls, they didn't have such a haode treatment.

Although there are some things, in terms of quantity and quality, there is a world of difference.

If it is said that the third girl Tang Key is spent with thought and affection, then the second girl and the fourth girl are just like chicken and dog fragments.

"If the family wants to make some special supplements in the big kitchen, they have to pay for it themselves. It's the same with letting the shops outside process the raw materials. She explained carefully, "Besides, each young lady's monthly monthly silver is ten taels, and you see, how much did the third sister's bits and pieces last month be?" ”

The above record is clear, Tang Shaoshuai has roughly understood what she means at this time, and read out the number: "Eight taels." ”

"Then take a look at the second sister, how much did you spend last month?" Qu Ning smiled.

"Twenty taels ......" Tang Shaoshuai closed his eyes, "I understand what you mean." The third sister is my own sister, and I only prepare a unique copy for her of many things. This is also the difference between the concubine and the concubine, not to mention the difference between relatives and relatives, and you have to complain about me. His eyes flashed, "The key has me to prepare these special foods and materials for her, "Bird's nest, deer antler, abalone and even all kinds of vegetables and fruits in the South Seas, but whenever he sees haode things, he always thinks of his sister's share," She only spent eight taels of silver a month on 'processing' these food and materials, the second girl and the fourth girl, they don't go out of the door on weekdays, and the aunts are also thin before they enter, and they can get more than what I gave?" ”

In the end, could it be that all these years of careful preparation were fed to others?

"I know that the young marshal has a heart for your sister," he knew by looking at the valuable materials in the account book, "but it is your family that is involved, I have to be cautious and cautious, so I said a few more words, so you don't think I have a lot of words." Qu Ning said with a smile.

Before she finished speaking, Tang Shaoshuai had already sighed softly and silently.

Qu Ning was stunned for a moment: she thought that what she said was quite level and respectful of him, this man was not satisfied, what did he want her!

Young Marshal Tang didn't answer her immediately.

He reached out and rubbed his temples and reached out to her, "Come on." ”

What's going on with this tone of calling a kitten and a puppy!

Qu Ning scolded in his heart, but he still walked towards him on his face, Tang Jinzhi stretched out his hand towards her and hugged her in his arms: "I know that you are going to ask me about my relationship with them for me." The cause of the incident goes back 10 years. You want to know, but in this family, if it weren't for me, no one would dare talk about that incident ten years ago. ”

His hand tightened slightly, and his voice sank: "My mother's death is not due to illness, but man-made. At that time, the doctors invited by the family said that the mother was depressed and sick, and her body was weak all the year round, so she died. But when I returned home, I didn't believe in the diagnosis. Or rather, I was reluctant to accept the result at the time. So before my mother was buried, I secretly asked someone to take a sample of my mother's hair and skin and send it to a foreign laboratory for testing. He paused, his expression a little calm, "The results of the test ...... There are indeed some ingredients in the mother's blood. That's why my mother died early. After I learned the truth, the Tang family's backyard ...... At that time, whether there was evidence or not, everyone who got involved in this matter paid the price. He snorted softly, and only one word came out between his thin lips, "Die." ”

Qu Ning listened to him talk about this, and her heart was shocked: it wasn't for his resolute and thunderbolt methods, she really didn't expect that the Tang family had experienced such a fierce battle at the house. Looking at the harmony now, although she suspected the inside of the white bones from the clues, she didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so serious. His mother was poisoned, and he retaliated by killing people by means of killing people for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, so he and the remaining people in the Tang family's back house really can't be regarded as relatives anymore - it is already very good to be able to barely maintain a face.

"......Be careful," Qu Ning sighed, reaching out and caressing his frowning brow, "But I've never heard of you killing someone at home......"

"Not what you think." Tang Shaoshuai glanced at her, looked at her with a slight look of compassion and was not surprised, so he waved his hand and said leisurely, "That year, we rebelled with the army, and because of the time relationship, my father took the lead in unveiling the pole, and then he waved his army to the north, let me sit in my hometown, and continue to recruit people. At that time, the imperial court wanted to encircle and suppress our troops, and the situation was extremely critical. I will retreat with most of the people, and the rest ......," he snorted, "let them do their part for the sake of their father's cause." ”

Qu Ning knew how the imperial court dealt with the revolutionaries back then, and she trembled slightly: "Those who were captured alive back then were hanged lightly, at least a whole corpse was left, and more were executed by Ling Chi, and even women were ridden on wooden donkeys on the streets, and tortured alive for three days and three nights before dying...... "When she heard about it in the palace, she felt inhumane, only the human blood steamed buns in the capital that year were sold exceptionally well. The blood that is open at the entrance of the vegetable market can stain an entire street red.

Tang Shaoshuai, such a ruthless heart, a good means!

Such grievances are clear, but they are so rewarding!

Fortunately, fortunately, they are now in the same boat, otherwise, with such a man with means, determination and perseverance, she really can't imagine her fate.

"My father had no intention of running the family, he let the backyard become a mess, let those aunts be inferior and inferior, and even let them do something to my mother." Tang Jinzhi said slowly, "So later, I left them behind, and he didn't care about them in general." He stretched out his hand and shook Qu Ning's cold hand, "Madam, don't worry, in my father's heart, you and I are much more important than them in terms of status and usefulness." Although the wind is exhausted, now if you have anything you can't get used to and want to deal with, just rest assured. Father, I will never say a word about this. What's more, I said that I am in everything, just rest assured. ”

Qu Ning's heart was very complicated: the reason why she deliberately told Tang Shaoshuai about this was to shirk her responsibility on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to knock on the side and test what happened back then.

But when she really knew Tang Shaoshuai's past, knew the origin of his cold temperament, and knew the reason why Tang San's girl weishenme would become that kind of cowardly, she weishenme...... What about the pleasure of not succeeding in unloading responsibilities at all?

On the contrary, it seems that when she found out about his past, she carried a heavier burden on her back. Is that feeling of slight blockage in my heart the legendary compassion?

Knowing that this man was powerful and didn't need her mercy, she couldn't help herself and gently shook his outstretched hand.

Qu Ning tilted his head and smiled at him: "Sincerely, I know." ”
