Chapter 376 The ugly daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law
In the Qi family's mansion, the lights were shining brightly, and the huge courtyard looked no different from the daytime.
In the splendid living room, Mrs. Zheng, the old mistress of the Qi family, was leading her pair of daughters to talk in the room, discussing matters about the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, when suddenly a dark shadow hurried in.
Lao Shen's housekeeper Qin had sharp eyes and rushed to greet him enthusiastically. He called out ardently: "Uncle, why are you back? Aren't you supervising the army outside? Could it be that you are thinking about the eldest lady and rushed back to accompany the old mistress and eldest lady?
For the Mid-Autumn Festival?”
“Have a shitty Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Jiang Xueyi sat down at the bottom of the living room, drank a few sips of tea, and angrily yelled in front of Ms. Zheng: "Who instigated Du Sankui, that bastard, to assassinate Lin Jinxiao?"
Mrs. Zheng looked dissatisfied, holding her crutch and said coldly: "Xueyi, you are also an official of the imperial court, and you should have the proper etiquette."
"It's time for etiquette and etiquette. Mother-in-law still has thoughts about this."
Jiang Xueyi glared and said angrily: "The Qi family is in great danger. Don't you know it?"
"Uncle, are you saying this too seriously?"
Butler Qin said calmly: "What does Du Sankui's assassination of Lin Jinxiao mean to the Qi family? Our Qi family has already drawn a clear line with the Yulong Gang."
“How do you draw the line?”
Jiang Xueyi was even more angry: "Whose hands does the money that the Yulong Gang hands over to senior officials in the county every year? How many of the dirty things your Qi family has done over the years were not completed by the Yulong Gang? Do you think you will win the winter now?"
Just by handing over Huajiang's affairs to the Yulong Gang, can we cut ties with him?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Xueyi violently threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, glared at the woman Qi Yuhuan, and said urgently: "I only told you when the defense of the county captain's office was handed over, how did Du Sankui know everything about it?
"
Qi Yuhuan was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly: "It's not the slave family, it's not the slave family. The slave family hasn't seen him in a while."
After saying that, he looked at Butler Qin with his whole body trembling.
Butler Qin had no choice but to admit: "Uncle, it was indeed the old slave who revealed this matter to Du Sankui. Nowadays, many people want to get rid of Lin Jinxiao. This year, the county sent people to stop the money handed over by the Yulong Gang, and Du Sankui also wanted to help him."
My uncle and the nobles above have to eliminate this scourge. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. His people have been lingering in the city for many days and finally caught an opportunity. Who knows that this guy has been prepared for it. "
"You idiot, assassinating a court official is a serious crime of treason. Have you never thought about the consequences of a failed assassination?"
Jiang Xueyi's eyes widened and he wished he could skin this old pig and dog alive:
"A few of those scoundrels in Donghua River are reliable, but they are just some shameless and unruly people who bully others and have no laws. They completely betrayed their master in one night. Is this what you call the heavy reward?"
There must be a brave man below?"
Butler Qin was immediately speechless.
Jiang Xueyi pursed his lips in frustration and said: "Now Du Sankui and the entire Yulong Gang have been included as traitors who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. I'll see how you end up."
"Those are just slanderous words made by that boy from the Lin family."
Mrs. Zheng waved her hand disapprovingly: "I grew up watching Du Sankui. He was a scoundrel boy when he was fighting with your father-in-law. How can he be able to collude with the Dongsang people?"
"If he hadn't already left a way out, would he dare to rebel openly?"
Jiang Xueyi stared at Mrs. Zheng intently and said earnestly:
"Lin Jinxiao had already prepared his pockets in Haining County. The five hundred soldiers led by Zhu Youan were all brave and capable warriors who had followed Princess Jinshu in the north and south. When Du Sankui fled to the sea, even if he was really just reckless
He deceived people and killed the imperial army, but with Lin Jinxiao's insidious methods, he will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. The Dongsang people have already appeared along the coast."
Only then did Zheng realize the seriousness of the matter. Her sparse eyebrows trembled and she asked anxiously: "Xueyi, things have become like this, what do you think should be done?"
"There is a way."
Jiang Xueyi said, slowly stood up and waved to Butler Qin: "Old Qin, come here."
Butler Qin walked over carelessly. Before anyone noticed, a cold light flashed across his chest.
Jiang Xueyi pulled out the bloody dagger and pushed him to the ground. He spat shamelessly: "You old man, you are the one who stirs up trouble all day long."
Mrs. Zheng and her daughters were startled.
Jiang Xueyi clenched his fists and solemnly ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, my mother-in-law will quickly send someone to take Qin Yan's body to the county government office, and hand over the thief who colluded with Du Sankui to commit misdeeds to Sun County Cheng, and take the initiative to return these
In response to the land equalization policy, he donated 2,000 shi of grain to the county for disaster relief."
"Without the Yulong Gang and the docks on the Donghua River, our Qi family has already suffered a lot. If we return the land and lower the rent now, it will cost our Qi family their lives."
Zheng slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Xueyi, what kind of bad idea are you coming up with?"
"Then mother-in-law just waits until the Qi family is confiscated and exterminated."
Jiang Xueyi let go and said fiercely: "Please forgive my son-in-law for not meddling in the affairs of your house anymore."
"Husband."
Qi Yuhuan was so frightened that he quickly chased after him.
"Brother-in-law."
Qi Yujie also immediately darkened her face: "Brother-in-law, you can't ignore our Qi family's affairs. Mo Chen is still in prison."
Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and reluctantly gave way: "It's all according to my uncle's words."
Jiang Xueyi then turned around and said righteously: "From today on, control the servants in the house, and take back the bad guys released from the villages as soon as possible. Don't cause trouble again. You can go to the county jail to watch."
Look, some of the troublemaking prisoners in prison today did not escape from the Qi family."
Just as Zheng was about to speak again, Jiang Xueyi had already left in a hurry.
Chu Nanzhi packed up the things she would take to Chang's house tomorrow, and after bathing, she led the babies to sleep.
As soon as it dawned the next day, she quickly got up and made breakfast herself, filled her stomachs with her little treasures, and immediately left the city for Changfu with Chu Nanxiang and Sangqi before martial law.
The carriage drove quickly and arrived at the Caifeng Township Hall just as the sun was rising.
In my memory, the area around Caifeng Township was a forbidden area that the original owner and the Liu Chu family did not dare to enter.
Even if something needs to pass by, the two families will take a detour.
Coming here for the first time, Chu Nanzhi felt equally uneasy.
She didn't have anything to fear from the Nie family. Although the Chang family treated her with great respect, they could not represent the wishes of Lin Jinxiao's wife Ji Huazhen.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Chang Mansion, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little guilty as she lifted the curtain and looked at the tightly guarded mansion from a distance.
These are the elders that Lin Jinxiao respects the most. He has never felt any uneasiness when he met the Lin clan and his stepmother's family. But now when he arrived in front of the Chang Mansion, he felt awkward about an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
She got off the carriage with the little ones and stood opposite the Chang Mansion. She was hesitating and hesitated when she saw a gorgeous carriage wrapped in silk slowly stopping in front of the white marble at the door.
The moment a curtain of light blue crepe was lifted, a graceful and luxurious face was immediately revealed in Chu Nanzhi's sight.
The two people's eyes met each other at the same time, and Chu Nanzhi's whole heart was slightly startled.
