An autumn rain did not stop until late in the evening, and the cold, damp feeling lingered in the air, which was disturbing.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Yongcheng, the candles were lit early in the main hall of Rongxi Hall, and the old lady Lian sat on the carved chair covered with a thick layer of gold silk flowers, and looked gloomily at the young man who was sitting on the lower head wearing a jade crown and a dignified appearance, and sighed secretly.

"I called the house doctor early in the morning to see it, and said that the person is fine, and it will be fine after a few days of rest, so you don't have to worry."

The old lady Lian said loudly.

Jiang Qi listened to his mother's words, pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and whispered, "The child knows." ”

Lian's: "As soon as I heard the news at night, I asked Mama Jiang to bring a few mothers-in-law over, this matter will not be known to anyone except the people who listened to the Xue Yuan, as for the people in the Xue Yuan, they also kept their mouths shut. ”

Lian's tone was light, but Jiang Qi knew the ruthlessness in his mother's words. Compared with his wife's sudden hanging in the middle of the night, he was more worried about whether she knew something, otherwise why would she hang herself? If it weren't for the girl on duty at night who was vigilant and found out in time, I'm afraid that the entire Hou Mansion would have begun to prepare for the funeral by now.

Thinking of the initial shock, Jiang Qi's heart is still unstoppable, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, so he had to cheer up and say: "Didn't mother say that it was seamless from beginning to end?" Ah Xue she ...... It shouldn't be clear, right, how could you suddenly hang yourself? Isn't it...... She got it? ”

Lian Shi became irritated when he heard the words: "How do I know? Jiang Mama obviously told me carefully, Jin drank tea and fell asleep, she personally dealt with the traces afterwards, after Jin woke up, she has been waiting by the side without leaving half a step, after returning home, Jin came to ask for peace and didn't see anything wrong, who knew that he would hang himself in the middle of the night, it was really unlucky! ”

The more Lian thought about it, the more angry he became, and someone hurriedly came over to spread the word at night, Lian was surprised and immediately sent his henchman Jiang Mama to take someone over to deal with it, and called the house doctor to go for diagnosis and treatment, until the house doctor said that Mrs. was fine, and everyone was relieved.

Mama Jiang knocked on a yard of maids and servants, and only said that the lady had a cold in the middle of the night, and it didn't matter.

Even if he doesn't like this daughter-in-law anymore, but a good person suddenly hangs himself, if this kind of thing spreads out, the reputation of the Hou Mansion will be ruined a lot.

Looking at the sons of the six gods and no masters in front of him, Lian sighed in his heart, he has been sitting firmly in the position of the Hou Ye for a few years, and he is still so forward-looking in case of trouble, how can this huge Hou Mansion be able to hold up in the future?

Since the death of her husband, the Marquis of Yongcheng, the prestige of the Marquis of Yongcheng in the circle of the capital's magnates has been declining, and in the last two years, it has been reduced to the center of power, and now the entire Marquis Mansion can not withstand any fluctuations.

Jiang Qijunxiu's brows were always furrowed, and he raised his eyes to look at his mother and asked carefully, "Is the person selected by my mother reliable?" What if there is trouble in the future? ”

Lian shook his head irritably, and his voice unconsciously raised: "Impossible! ”

Fang felt that it was inappropriate to say that, and cautiously glanced around, a room of servants and servants had already been sent out, and Mama Jiang personally guarded the door, and there were only two of them in the whole main hall.

Lian Shi still cautiously lowered his voice and said: "Mama Jiang and her family are both old people, and there is still experience in looking at people, that person is in the prime of life, and he is dressed in either rich or expensive, and his appearance is very good, but his face is tight, and he also asked the shopkeeper about the latest things in the capital, obviously from other places, maybe he will leave the capital soon."

Even if that person is still in Beijing now, does he dare to inquire about this kind of thing? Unless it's an idiot.

Besides, your daughter-in-law rarely goes out, and there are very few people who know her in Beijing, as long as she can get pregnant smoothly this time, she will be raised in the house with peace of mind until the child is born, and no one will know. ”

Having said that, Lian's heart was uneasy, the original plan was to find a suitable outsider, and after the matter was completed, he tried to extinguish his mouth, and he did not know it, but he didn't expect that there was a business trip in the middle, and he accidentally asked the person to slip away, and now there is nowhere to find it.

Jiang Qi's brows became more and more furrowed: "But right now, Ah Xue is like this, Bacheng has already guessed something, otherwise it would be impossible to behave like this, how can this be good?" I didn't agree to do that at the beginning, but that's the end of it, and even if it doesn't work out this time, there won't be a next time. ”

"What are you talking about, how can you turn back when you open the bow? It's come to this point, and we can only keep going. ”

Lian glared at his son fiercely and said.

Jiang Qi's face was full of frustration: "It's really not good, just go over the little grandson of the second uncle's family, the child is only seven months old, and he was born very well, and it may not be bad to bring it up well now......

Lian roared angrily: "Shut up! How many times have I told you, absolutely not! No matter how small, it is also a white-eyed wolf that cannot be raised. ”

Facing his mother, who had always been strong, Jiang Qi shut his mouth stupidly.

Lian continued patiently: "A child of a few months is not sensible, is it not that adults are also ignorant? Otherwise, your second uncle and aunt, those two black-hearted people, would not have rushed to give our own grandson to this house to raise.

Hum! When who doesn't know what evil intentions they have? When the children are raised and sensible in the future, they only need to instigate a few words in front of their ears, and they are not afraid that the little cub's heart will not be biased towards his father and grandmother.

At that time, the entire Yongcheng Marquis Mansion will fall into the second room's pocket. My son, are you willing to give up all the inheritance of our big house, including this title, to the family in the second room? ”

Thinking of the two of them who have become more and more calculating in recent years, holding their grandson in front of her from time to time to show off the prosperity of their house, and poking her heart with every word they say, Lian was so angry that he couldn't slap him, and secretly gritted his teeth and never let them succeed in their calculations.

Jiang Qi was already numb to his mother's anger, and in all fairness, he didn't want to be the heir of his second uncle's family, or he wouldn't have agreed to his mother's absurd idea, and at this time, seeing his mother angry, he muttered:

"Then Ah Xue, what should I do now?"

mentioned the daughter-in-law who had never been seen, and Lian was disgusted again: "What else can I do?" Take one step at a time, useless things, I haven't laid an egg for three years after marrying in, and I still look half-dead all day long, where does the face stay in the position of the wife. ”

Lian scolded his daughter-in-law happily, not noticing his son's red and white face in an instant.

After scolding his daughter-in-law Lian, he said: "After a while, you go back to Xue Yuan, and first talk to her to find out the style, if she really knows something......

Lian Shi continued with a fierce look on his face: "I don't think there is any need to hide it anymore, reason with her, we have no way to take this step, if the emperor blesses it, the heir of this Hou Mansion will be born from her belly in the future, and in the future, the mother will be more expensive than the son, and everything will be enough."

If she doesn't know what to figure out, she will leave the words to her, and let her go to find death and life, the big deal is that the Hou Mansion will change a housewife, and maybe the heirs of the Hou Mansion will prosper from now on. ”

Jiang Qi saw that his mother said cruel words and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, Ah Xue has always been virtuous and courteous, as long as you tell her well, you will definitely understand your mother's hard work." ”

Lian glanced at his son coldly, picked up the teacup that had been cooled on the table, took a sip, slowly put down the teacup and said: "This is the best, just do it, whether it works or not this time, since you have already done it, don't think about it, settle down and wait for the result." ”

After speaking, he found that his son looked stunned and couldn't help but persuade again: "I know that you have a diaphragm in your heart, how can I not, but to put it bluntly, it's just a woman, if you don't pass this hurdle in your heart, she will be cold in the future, and besides, don't you still have Yueru and a few of them waiting in your backyard?" After the matter is completed, the mother will find a few beautiful women for you to come back, as long as you want, you can directly carry your aunt, and your mother will promise you. ”

Jiang Qi was bitter in his heart, but he was used to being obedient in front of the Lian family, even if he didn't have a taste in his heart, he could only swallow it silently.

Lian Shi felt physically and mentally exhausted after talking for a long time, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's late, you should go back early to rest and call Mama Jiang in." ”

Jiang Qi got up and said goodbye and walked out.
