Chapter 18: The Past Is Lifted

"There is a big age gap between the eldest lord and his wife, and it has always been said that the eldest lord is dedicated to studying and vowing not to take the Jinshi exam and not to talk about marriage?!" The cooks and handymen looked at each other, according to the old handyman, they belonged to the newcomers later, and the past of the main family that they knew was naturally said by the Qi family themselves.

"That lady died after the eldest lord passed the Jinshi examination, and then the eldest lord married the current lady, in the final analysis, the Qi family can buy a house in the capital and settle down is the credit of Mrs. Yuanpei, the family's money is earned by Mrs. Yuan, otherwise this family is just a mud leg that is shaved in the soil, even if the eldest master is admitted to the Jinshi family, it is difficult to have this good life now, there are many poor officials in the capital who are so poor that there are few good clothes except for official uniforms, not to mention the Jinshi with a thin background, and there is no money to go on the road of electing officials." The old handyman who had been holding back his anger for several years finally had a chance to vent and talk endlessly.

"If you have something to say, go inside, open the door." Qi Ke tapped the padlock with a firewood knife for the third time, and looked impatiently at the people who were about to gather to talk about gossip.

The cook who took the key didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately came over to unlock the lock, Qi Ke turned around and entered the courtyard, the ill-fitting clothes revealed a large piece of skin on the back of the neck, and the already purple pinch marks were completely displayed in front of the cooks and handymen, and the surprised inhalation was endless.

Qi Ke ignored the movement behind her, her original purpose was to let them see her neck, if such a heavy mark is not medicated, it will take a month for the blood stasis to dissipate naturally, so the more people see it, the better, the more people who see it with their own eyes, the more difficult it is for the Qi family to seal it, and the more it will spread in a short time, the more convincing it will be.

The masters of the Qi family are not afraid of killing, and of course she is not afraid of the ugliness of the family.

Master Qi is an official.

There is nothing to make a fuss about when Yuanpei's wife died of illness, but the eldest daughter left by Yuanpei has been abused, and officialdom is like a battlefield.

Qi Ke stood in the courtyard and looked left and right.

"Where is your place to put your food?"

"Here."

Seeing such terrible scars, out of human instinct, they should also know that the eldest lady left by Mrs. Yuanbei was now looking for trouble after escaping death, and they didn't want to get involved, so they led Qi Ke to the storage room where the grain was put quite cooperatively.

Seeing the neatly stacked grain bags and sugar and salt bags in the storeroom, Qi Ke's eyes were gloomy.

"It turns out that there is so much food at home, so why don't you give me food?"

The cooks and handymen on the side looked at each other in silence, and even the old handyman didn't know what words to say at this time.

"By the way, where is the person I sprayed with chili pepper water just now?" After Qi Ke deliberately sold another miserable handful, he remembered that there was an unlucky ghost.

"Wash your face at the well." Someone in the crowd responded.

"Well, rinse him a few more times, and then wipe his face with some vinegar, which can relieve the burning sensation, as long as there is no wound on his face, he will be fine." The handyman's reaction and approach at that time were correct, and of course Qi Ke would not care about him.

"Hey, Miss Xie."

Immediately someone started running and took the vinegar to the well.

"The eldest lady is afraid that she has been waiting outside all night, and she must be hungry when she comes, so we will wash rice and cook porridge." The chef walked over and said kindly.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to drink this porridge." Qi Ke's gaze turned to the wall on the other side of the alleyway, "Do you hear footsteps?" Someone has already come. ”
