Chapter 124: Magpies
"I'm not in good health now, and I can't take care of too many things, so I can't ......"
Qi Ruo thought of the letter that Qiu Ju brought back.
Old Man Wen said in the letter that he could help her and Ah Mo, but they still had to protect the reputation of the Wen family, let her and Ah Mo's subordinates show mercy, spare Wen this time, and only said that Wen was sick and confined her at home and could not go out.
"But my mother-in-law is also sick, more seriously ill than me, if I don't go out to take care of things, who else?"
She said this in front of so many people today, not only taking care of the face that Old Man Wen wanted, but also logically detaining the Wen family, and there was nothing to say about the second and third rooms.
"It's also my fault. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, but now I have to say it. ”
Qi Ruo didn't speak loudly, but everyone listened quietly with their ears up, they liked to listen to the things of the wealthy family.
But this is the Zhenguo Mansion that has not been pickled for thousands of years, and they want to hear it even more, not for the side, just to see what kind of son is the one who made trouble. The man of the eyes.
Not to mention whether this Zhenguo Gong is a lone star, but they still trust him and respect him very much.
"Na Lin's mother wanted to harm me, but unfortunately I was a doctor, and I saw through it, and my mother-in-law was already sick, and she was so angry that she vomited a mouthful of blood......
Qi Ruo's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by a magpie.
"You talk nonsense! My mother is loyal to the old lady, where is it like you say? You're a bloody squirt! ”
Xia He immediately stepped forward and reprimanded: "Your mother has done such a thing of forgetting her master, how can you be embarrassed to speak out here?" I'm not afraid of people laughing off their big teeth! ”
Since Xia He sang blackface, Qi Ruo naturally sang whiteface.
"Well, she probably didn't know." Qi Ruo said to the magpie again, "A few days ago, the family was so busy because of this kind of thing, and they didn't have time to report to the official, it is reasonable that you don't know, no one expected your mother to ...... I actually committed suicide by taking poison......"
After that, Qi Ruo gave Xia He a look, and Xia He immediately understood.
"Your mother committed suicide in fear of sin, but she couldn't tell why she suddenly had bad intentions when she was dying, if you want to atone for your mother's sins, why don't you tell what you know earlier!"
"You talk nonsense!" The magpie said that he was about to take a few steps forward to make a move with Xia He, but was stopped by the little guy on the side, "My mother was killed by you, and you are still trying to wronged her, if you don't give me an explanation today, I won't give up!" ”
Qi Ruo only felt that this person was very noisy, and couldn't help frowning, but she was extremely uncomfortable when she looked at her.
"Don't worry, we will naturally give you an explanation, can you report to the official? Since this is the case, let Jingzhao Mansion Yin come to investigate. ”
She didn't mean to be angry, nor did she seem to be angry, she just said this sentence as usual, but she frightened both the magpie and his wife, and the people who were watching the play trusted her even more, but they spoke for her one after another.
The magpie's husband panicked, pulled the magpie's arm, and said, "Where can we beat them?" Nine times out of ten, I see that this matter is unstable, so let's forget it. ”
The magpie's face was a little unbearable, and he turned around and reprimanded: "What is it? This can't be done, that's my mother! Moreover...... That, you don't want it anymore? ”
The two of them spoke so close that no one else could hear them, but Qi Ruo knew that the two of them were shaken.
When she looked up, she happened to see Wen's steward coming with four servants.
The Wen steward took the four little servants to greet her relatives first, and then explained his intention to her.
"Madam, bother, we just found out today that there are many problems in Liao Daguan's shop, and there is a lot of silver missing, I am afraid that he is greedy for ink, and the slave is specially ordered by the master to arrest him back."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
Can such a person still believe what he says? For a while, the rhetoric of crusading against these two people was even stronger.
Liao Da didn't sit in the steward seat with real materials, and he didn't have much brains, he relied on Lin's mother to fall in love with Wen's, and he was indeed greedy for a lot of money in the shop he managed under the instruction of Lin's mother, this time he was really scared, he couldn't say a word, he could only shrink back and look at the magpie.
The magpie, the chief steward of the Wen family, didn't dare to say anything, after all, her husband's sale. The deed was still held by the Wen family, and she could only argue in a low voice: "The chief steward has to find out, my husband is very honest and won't do this......"
The magpie himself became more and more unconfident in the future.
Qi Ruo still had the demeanor of a decent Duchess of Zhenguo, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, big steward, you have to find out, this matter is not a trivial matter." ”
"This is indeed not a trivial matter, and this steward is signed and sold. If you have a good contract, you have to check it, lest they come to my house again to make trouble, saying that we are colluding and oppressing them. ”
Qi Mo rode a tall horse and said loudly outside the crowd, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth.
When the people saw this, they hurriedly made way of the way, and stood on both sides and saluted.
Qi Mo went to the door of Defu and turned over neatly. Dismounted, handed the reins of the horse to the servant on the side, and then said to a group of people: "Don't be polite, you have always been unrestrained in the next place, and you make me so frightened." ”
Most of the people in Yuanjing knew that Qi Mo was a free and uninhibited person, and some of them were bold and made Qi Mo's jokes, which made everyone laugh.
Qi Mo also smiled, and then stepped onto the steps and hugged Qi Ruo up a few steps.
Qi Ruo was shocked, put one hand on the back of Qi Mo's neck, pinched the shirt on his chest with the other, and whispered, "What are you doing here?" So many people! ”
Suddenly, there was a commotion.
Qi Ruo was so ashamed that his little face turned red, and seeing that Qi Mo was really unwilling to let go of himself, he simply buried his face in his arms, it was out of sight!
Qi Mo said: "The big steward, you take people away, I also have a lot of things to deal with, everyone, the inner body is unwell and out of company." ”
As soon as he turned around, his whole face darkened, and he hurriedly instructed Qiu Ju on the side to ask for a doctor, and then told Xia He to go to the kitchen to boil ginger soup.
Qi Ruo looked up at him, saw that he had a serious face, and knew that he had annoyed him, so he couldn't help but feel a little weak, carefully pulled the clothes on his chest, and said softly: "I'm fine, I'm much better." ”
"That's not entirely good." Qi Mo said, he was wronged first, his mouth was deflated, and he seemed to be able to cry to Qi Ruo in the next moment, "If you get better so easily, you will be in bed all day because of these bad things. What should I do when I go up? ”
Qi Ruo couldn't resist Qi Mo like this, so he had to shut up and let him do his work.
This matter did not wait for Qi Mo to make another move, and the Wen Mansion directly took care of Liao Da.
Liao Da didn't want to die, he said that Mother Lin and Magpie instructed him to do it, Mother Lin was dead, and Magpie became the mastermind, but because she didn't sell herself to the Wen Mansion, she was directly sent to the government, and the matter was done in just two days.
It's really a big show, and it's also a good luck.
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes." Qi Ruo shook his head and sighed.
Qi Mo and Qi Ruo were lying on the bed at this time, and when they heard Qi Ruo say this, Qi Mo turned sideways and looked at her with eyes full of curiosity.
"But daughter-in-law, 'why do you fly separately when disaster comes', so is it 'flying separately when disaster comes' or 'not flying separately'?"
Qi Ruo was choked by Qi Mo's words, and the deep melancholy he felt was swept away by his question.
"Just pretend to be a fool and bully me!"
She opened her mouth, and it took a while to hold back such a sentence, and after saying this, she simply turned around and looked inside to stop looking at Qi Mo.
Qi Mo's skin was originally thicker, and he was extremely thick towards Qi Ruo, rubbing his body in, and hugged him from behind.
"What do we have to do with other people's affairs? Living our little life is the way it is. ”
Qi Ruo smiled slightly, and only answered him in a low voice for a long time, and then there was no more silence.
Qi Mo hugged Qi Ruo's hand and tightened it again, and then he settled down, but his eyes were not sleepy, but he just closed his eyes and recuperated, and his thoughts were still far away.
In fact, Wen's move is simply no chance of winning.
Prince Ren thinks that he is on his side now, so he will naturally help him, and the Wen family needless to say, there will still be thinking about which is more important, not to mention that now that his uncle has begun to take care of the family, his grandfather, who has a lot of thoughts, will definitely listen to him.
It's just that Wen will not make a rash move! Even if she has done a lot of crazy things, but everything is very organized, why does she think that what Prince Ren lacks is the opportunity to pull down the Zhenguo Mansion?
What other hands does she have? And Qi Ruo didn't tell him about this exceeder, and no one in the house revealed it to him.
He has been very busy these days, and he has not had time to take care of it, and now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that all he knows is that his daughter-in-law is willing to tell her, and he has to bear the more troublesome things that he takes risks.
He thought, he has to beat the people in the house, otherwise his daughter-in-law will be responsible for everything by himself, and he doesn't know it!
It's just that Qi Mo went to the morning court early the next morning, not for the sake of the side, but for the unfinished quarrel in the court yesterday - the Huns slightly provoked and interfered with the border.
This matter has always existed, after being led by Qi Mo to fight a few times, they have settled down a lot, and now that Qi Mo has returned to Beijing, they not only have relapsed into their old ways, but also have an increasingly fierce posture, and Daqian will no longer indulge them.
And whoever is in command of the expedition is probably going to make a result today.
Qi Mo rode a horse to the gate of the palace, and happened to meet Prince Ren, the two nodded, and Qi Mo let Prince Ren's sedan chair enter the palace gate first.
"Going to court."
With the shout of the emperor's personal father-in-law, everyone knelt down and saluted, and when the emperor gave an order, they stood up again.
"I've thought about it all night, have you thought about it? Who would be more appropriate? ”
