"This ......," Aunt Li said.

"My aunt is also a smart person, how can she listen to such words. There is really such a thing, and now it should be hidden, but my aunt took it as if it was true and preached it at home. Lord Tang has a wife and children, and with the help of the house, the seventh sister is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and if it is known, what should the face and reputation of the seventh sister be, and how should the seventh sister behave? Auntie, you look so remorseful, what do people think of the seventh sister? Qi Wanli said again, "My aunt is worried about the seventh sister, but she shouldn't lose her rules and lose her dignity." This matter should never be mentioned again, my aunt only thinks about what I said, if the elders in the real mansion really made this plan, the matter would have been done a long time ago. ”

was said by Qi Wanli like this, Aunt Li understood a little.

"Auntie take a look further, now that the situation in the mansion is now, are you still afraid that the seventh sister will not have a good home?" Qi Wanli further persuaded.

"That's what my aunt said. The matter of the seven girls also asked my aunt and grandmother to help me pay attention to it. Aunt Li said with a smile. Now the Rong family is not in good spirits and rarely takes care of things. And Second Mrs. Qi's mind was all on the lady and Qi Yi in the palace, and when the time came, she would just marry Qi Wanyan casually.

Qi Wanli nodded in response, and asked deliberately carelessly.

"Auntie, because of this incident, I'm afraid that there is some misunderstanding of the fourth sister-in-law."

"It's good that my aunt understands, Mo Pingbai did something wrong, and it is not good for Aunt Yu, the seventh sister and the sixth brother."

"That's what Grandma Sixth said." Aunt Li nodded again and again

Xun Qingran was a little speechless, there was such a thing! She silently recalled that when she met Aunt Li recently, Aunt Li didn't seem to be anything unusual. But now that I think about it carefully, Aunt Li's attitude towards her for a while is a little distant and polite compared to the past.

"I've woken her up. But the fourth sister-in-law still has to be careful. Qi Wanli said.

Xun Qingran nodded, "Thanks to you, you met it and explained it for me." Otherwise, I don't know when this disease will start, and I don't know what the cause is. ”

Aunt Li seems to be a light-hearted person, but she is the person closest to the second master of Qi in the inner house. If she blows some wind in the ears of Second Master Qi, things can be big or small. Xun Qingran remembered that she had just come back from Pingxi Town, and it was the second lady of Qi who wanted to see the malt first, and the words that the second lady Qi said at that time, now that I think about it, every sentence really has a deep meaning. I'm afraid that at that time, there was a so-called saying "helping the girl rob her sister's marriage", and Aunt Li believed it, where would she say good things about her and Qi Yu in front of the second master Qi.

Second Lady Qi is really doing everything. And this kind of trick is what Xun Qingran disdains to use the most, and it is also the most annoying, and it is the most unguardable in the crowd.

"People like ours have a big family business and a large population. People's hearts are unpredictable, and there are many people. There are always 'smart people' who turn black and white upside down, move right and wrong, and there are always people who will believe it. It's really annoying and unguardable. Xun Qingran sighed.

"That's why I like small households." Qi Wanli said.

Xun Qingran looked at Qi Wanli. Qi Wanli is in charge of the huge Hou Mansion, and now Fang Xin's eldest son has married a daughter-in-law, and Qi Wanli is only a few years apart, and the other two concubines are also going to marry wives one after another, Fang Xin's concubine, and so many girls and mothers-in-law below, etc., Qi Wanli must have felt it.

"I'm not." Xun Qing has a lot of affection, although the days in Pingxi Town are not peaceful, but compared to now, it is really too desirable.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and neither of them spoke.

"It's okay now." It was Xun Qingran who smiled first, "Your efforts have finally paid off." ”

She and Qi Wanli have never cut off contact, even when they were in Pingxi Town, they kept writing back. Qi Wanli has experienced and made most of her efforts, she knows that Qi Wanli's gentleness and kindness to Fang Xin are needless to say, such as taking care of the sick official brother without undressing, disciplining Sister Bao without avoiding suspicion, managing the housework tirelessly, handling the marriage of the eldest son, and inviting famous Confucians to guide the two concubines, etc.

Looking at Qi Wanli's current style and what she did just now, you can know that Fang Xin is almost obedient to Qi Wanli's words now. Brother Guan even treats Qi Wanli as her biological mother, she is the most difficult sister Bao'er, and the person she admires the most now is also Qi Wanli's stepmother.

"For the marriage of the fifth brother, the old lady seems to have a candidate," Qi Wanli said.

Xun Qingran nodded, "I just don't know which one it is, whether it can be done." "If it was before, Qi Yi's marriage was just Rong's words, but now, Second Mrs. Qi obviously has her own plans for Qi Yi's marriage, and it is unknown whether she will follow Rong's meaning in the end.

The two talked about a lot of things again, until a girl came over and said that the banquet was ready, and then they came to Yinian again. Qi Wanli and Fang Xin both had dinner in Qi Mansion and did not leave until dusk. Rong Shi took Qi Wanli and Xun Qingran's hands, and smiled very happily. Second Mrs. Qi returned to the New Year's Hall, but she couldn't drink the tea with anger, and she said that her wings were hard and she forgot the roots.

Then the little girl who did not know what was going on heard it and came out to speak.

Xun Qingran heard it, but smiled, and only asked Mama Xu and the others to pay more attention to Aunt Zhou's side.

"I don't think it's going to be a big move, but it's awkward in the little things, let's help secretly, and it's okay."

Xun Qingran's carriage stopped in front of the second gate of Xun Mansion, and Xun Junhui stepped forward to help Xun Qingran get out of the car.

"Sister, slow down." Xun Junhui was very careful, for fear of getting Xun Qing hurt.

"It doesn't matter." Xun Qing said.

"Say hello to the third aunt and grandmother." Cailuan also took people out of the inner courtyard.

Xun Qingran waved his hand and let Cailuan get up.

"What's wrong with the master, the person who sent the letter didn't say it clearly, which made people feel uncertain." Xun Qingran asked as she walked into the courtyard.

"My sister went to see it, and she will know." Xun Junhui said.

Xun Qingran glanced at his younger brother and refused to ask any further.

"Grandma?" Xun Qingran turned his head and asked Cailuan.

"The wife called the grandmother to speak, but for some reason she lost her temper, and the grandmother couldn't get out, so she ordered the slave maid to serve the aunt and grandmother." Cailuan laughed.

"You go serve Grandma, you won't be needed here." Xun Qingran commanded.

"Grandma is worried that there are not enough people in the master's place, so the slave and maid should go over to serve." Cailuan refused to leave.

"The lord has free people to serve there, and when he wants to use people, he naturally sends someone to find his sister-in-law. You go first. Xun Junhui said.

Cailuan hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that the two of them were resolute, he bent his knees and retired.

"What the hell is wrong with the master?" There were no outsiders, Xun Qingran asked Xun Junhui again.

"Father is in good health." Xun Junhui replied in a low voice, "I said that I had something to say when I asked my sister to come back." ”

"Oh." Xun Qing sighed, "Mrs. is still difficult to be a grandmother now?" ”

"Somehow, my wife is now, sometimes confused, sometimes understood, and has long been out of business." Xun Junhui said.

Xun Qingran nodded, it seems that what Cai Cailuan said is just a pretext.

The two sisters and brothers went straight to the study, and a girl had already gone in to report. When Xun Qingran walked into the study, Master Xun was sitting behind the table and writing hard.

The two siblings stepped forward to say hello.

"Is my father okay?"

"I'm fine." Master Xun put down the pen in his hand, "It's just to call you back, I have something to ask you." Let's all sit down and talk. ”

The sister and brother sat on the chairs, and a little girl brought fragrant tea and withdrew.

"Uncle's life experience is rumored, but is it true?" Master Xun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"It's just a rumor made by someone in the family because of jealousy." Xun Qingran said, talking about the official version of the Qi Mansion's answer.

"You're hiding it for him!" Master Xun said, "If it was just a rumor, with the power of Qi Mansion, it would have been calmed down a long time ago, and everyone knew how to make trouble." Those kinds of unbearable words are really infuriating. ”

Master Xun was obviously very annoyed.

What are the unbearable words? How far has this rumor got?

"What's the shame?" Xun Qingran asked.

"You boudoir girl, you shouldn't know that." Master Xun said, "When I was married to Qi Mansion, it was they who came to ask for marriage, but it wasn't for us to climb high." He has his own talents, even if he is a concubine, it doesn't matter, but this background should also be innocent. Don't deliberately deceive! ”

Listening to the meaning of Master Xun's words, is it rumored that the identity of Qi You's biological mother is not on the stage?

Xun Qingran turned his head to look at Xun Junhui.

Xun Junhui nodded helplessly, he also knew that he was recruited back from the Hanlin Academy by Master Xun. Now the identity of Qi You's biological mother is rumored in a variety of ways, and there is no one who can say it. He didn't want his sister to be stimulated, so he wouldn't say anything.

Xun Qingran was surprised. What the hell is Second Lady Qi going to do, she hates Qi You to this extent?

"That's it, instead of letting you suffer some more white eyes, it's better to take you back, my father's money can still afford to support you."

Wait, what does Master Xun mean by this?

"Don't worry, if something like this happens, my father will definitely make decisions for you. I'll tell your aunt to clean up the house right away, and you'll live there, and your father will get justice for you." Master Xun said again.

"Father?" Xun Junhui was a little surprised, it seemed that he didn't know Master Xun's plan.

Because it was too sudden, Xun Qingran thought for a while before he understood what Master Xun meant. Master Xun tricked her back, and wanted to keep her and seek justice from the Qi Mansion for her. After so many years, Master Xun finally wants to take on the responsibility of his father, which is really unexpected.

It's just that there are some deviations between the justice that Master Xun wants and the justice she wants.

"I'm also trying to ask my father to make decisions for me." Xun Qingran stood up from his chair.
