Chapter Twenty-Six: The Virtuous Wife of the Lower Hall Wants to Turn Over (6)
"What's going on? Why are there so many people in the family? Xu Yitang was already upset because of the lack of money, and when he saw Qi Yan, he asked, "Just such a little place, what do you do when you buy so many people, just clean up by yourself!" ”
Qi Yan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Husband, don't talk nonsense, you are an official now, you must pay attention to your reputation, how can you tell me about asking your mother to clean up the yard for you?" This is a great unfilial piety, and it will be impeached! ”
"When did I say let my mother clean up, I mean you ......"
Qi Yan smiled and said, "Husband, you forgot that the concubine is pregnant, and the doctor said that it may be twins and can't be tired." ”
Xu Yitang really hasn't paid attention to this, even if Qi Yan's belly is very big, he hasn't paid attention to it, but Yao Ruolan next to Xu Yitang has been staring at Qi Yan's belly, thinking in her heart how she can make Xu Yitang's wife lose her child, anyway, she can't let Qi Yan's mother be expensive by her son, the Xu family's Qiē can only be hers, it can only be hers!
"This is ......" Qi Yan looked at Yao Ruolan with a smile and asked in a friendly manner.
Xu Yitang originally saw that Qiyan was pregnant, and felt that it was a little bad for him to bring Yao Ruolan back now, but when he thought of Yao Ruolan taking money to herself, but his wife was unwilling, such a comparison, the trace of guilt in Xu Yitang's heart was gone, he said: "This is the new aunt who entered the door, Lan'er will serve me in my room in the future, you don't instruct her to do things, don't bully her, and the people in the family also instructed to treat Lan'er as a master!" ”
Yao Ruolan was very dissatisfied when she saw that Xu Yitang had arranged herself like this, although this was what she wanted, but she didn't even have a pomp, even if she was a concubine, she had to officially welcome herself into the door, why did he announce it like this, it was like opening her face to Yahuan, which made her feel very shameless, but seeing Qi Yan's suddenly pale face, Yao Ruolan's heart was still full of satisfaction.
Qi Yan saw Mother Xu coming over, so he hurriedly said, "Lan'er, is it the top brand of the song and dance workshop?" Husband, why are you so confused, you have just become an official now, if you marry a dancing girl, you must not provoke criticism, what if it affects your boss's opinion of you and affects your performance evaluation? ”
Mother Xu was also very anxious when she heard Qi Yan's words, "Son, if you fancy someone who is not good, you have to take a fancy to someone with a bad reputation, and you can get it to the house, no, no, hurry up and drive her out, don't let her affect you!" ”
"Mother," Xu Yitang grabbed Xu's mother and said, "Although Lan'er is from the song and dance workshop, she has always been a performer and not a person, and besides, do you still remember the Yao Governor's Mansion who lived near our house at that time?" Lan'er is the daughter of Governor Yao, and I told you at that time that I would marry her and go home to be your daughter-in-law when I grow up! ”
"Governor Yao's daughter?" Mother Xu glanced at Yao Ruolan and said, "I remember that the Yao family was sent down for a crime, no wonder the prefect's daughter is now reduced to a place of indiscriminate use!" ”
"Mother, don't talk about Lan'er like that!" Xu Yitang was afraid that Yao Ruolan would be unhappy, so his voice to Xu's mother was also raised.
Mother Xu saw that Xu Yitang was actually murdering herself for Yao Ruolan, and became more and more unkind to Yao Ruolan, pointing at Yao Ruolan and scolding: "You fox is so shameless, seeing that our cousin knows you and sympathizes with your family's suffering, you pestered him and ran to our house, you used to be the daughter of the official family and looked down on us, what is your identity now?" A dusty woman, even if she is a concubine for our family, she is not qualified enough! ”
Xu Yitang couldn't stop Xu's mother from scolding, and hurriedly wanted to comfort Yao Ruolan, but saw Yao Ruolan said with a sad face: "Xu Lang, my aunt is right, I am not worthy of you, even if we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, but that is already in the past, I shouldn't always think about the past, now with my identity, even staying by your side to serve you is just wishful thinking, you still let me leave and let me fend for myself!" ”
"No, Lan'er, don't go!" Xu Yitang took Yao Ruolan's hand and walked to Xu's mother, knelt down, "Mother, you have always loved me, you will not refuse whatever I want, this time I hope you can also fulfill me and Lan'er, Lan'er and I are in love, if Lan'er is not by my side, what is the point of my life!" ”
Yao Ruolan also knelt down and said, "Auntie, you can fulfill me and Xu Lang, I just hope that I can take care of him by Xu Lang's side and be satisfied, as long as you don't drive me away, I will serve you well and honor you in the future!" ”
Xu Yitang was very satisfied with what Yao Ruolan said, and said without waiting for Xu's mother to speak: "Mother, you see how sensible Lan'er is, don't embarrass her!" Xu Yitang said and helped Yao Ruolan up.
When Mother Xu saw Xu Yitang's appearance, she was so angry that she couldn't do it, this was simply treating her own mother as an outsider, and she had raised him for more than 20 years, and in the end she was not as good as a woman outside! But her son has said this, what else can she do? She was relieved and said: "You are also older now, you are all officials, I don't care about these small things, you decide for yourself, as long as your daughter-in-law has no opinion, I have no opinion!" ”
Mother Xu didn't want to have trouble with Xu Yitang, so she wanted Qiyan to be this wicked person, but she didn't believe it, a woman can be generous enough to watch her husband take care of other women like this.
Qi Yan was just watching the play on the side, but now that it came to her, she finally took her thoughts back and said, "I have an opinion." ”
"What's the opinion?" Several people looked at Qi Yan in surprise, even if they have an opinion, they shouldn't say it directly like this!
"I don't agree!" Qi Yan said calmly: "I don't agree with this woman entering the door, I don't agree with her to be your concubine, I don't want to be a maid ring for you!" ”
"Wen Qiyan, what do you mean?" Xu Yitang asked with a dark face: "You don't care about my affairs, when will it be your turn to be the master of our Xu family?" ”
"I don't mean anything, I just don't want to work with this woman, the law of this dynasty stipulates that a man must obtain the consent of his wife and his wife's family, don't say I don't agree now, even my parents will not want me to become a family with such a woman!"
Xu Yitang just doesn't like the Wen family to always look high, as if he looks down on their ancestors of the Xu family is in business, and now he has put Yao Ruolan under his wing, Qi Yan looks down on her is looking down on himself! Thinking of this, Xu Yitang directly took Yao Ruolan into his room.
Qi Yan didn't care about them, so he looked like he was angry, and only went back to the room to lie down with the support of Yahuan with his stomach, and specially asked someone to grab the fetal pills. Qi Yan is naturally making a show for others, only half of these subordinates in the family are actually bought, and the other half is just hired by Qi Yan to help temporarily, the Xu family is not a powerful family now, and these things that happened today must soon spread through the mouths of these people!
Spoiling concubines and killing wives, prostitution during the day, unfilial piety to his mother, dishonesty to his wife, disrespect to the Yue family, any of these things will affect Xu Yitang's reputation, Xu Yitang's backyard in the previous life was well taken care of by Wen Qiyan, and even often raised donations to give Xu Yitang a good reputation, so when Xu Yitang attacked the Wen family, there would be so many literati and inkmen standing on his side, this time Qiyan would not help him, not only would he not help him, but he would also spread the word about what he did, so that others could see what kind of person he was!
Xu Yitang naturally wouldn't know that a small thing he did would have such a big impact on his reputation, in his heart, Wen Qiyan was a perfect wife, although he didn't love her, but it was undeniable that she was very qualified as a wife, so she would definitely deal with everything and never cause trouble to herself. And Xu Yitang has been inseparable from Yao Ruolan every day for the past few days, with a lot of affection, where do he still want to pay attention to other things, so when he knew that people in the capital were talking about him ignoring his pregnant wife and sick wife for the sake of a dancing girl, he was stunned all of a sudden.
Then, he was suspended, and his boss told him to go home and rest first, and then take care of the affairs at home.
