"In this case, then... let's not enter the ancestral hall for the time being."
As soon as Qi Yunxiao finished speaking, the scene fell into deathly silence.
Qingpinghou and his wife were stunned.
After swallowing his saliva, Marquis Qingping asked in disbelief: "Your wife has recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, and she hasn't officially entered the ancestral hall to inform her ancestors of such an important matter..."
Qi Yunxiao became even more indifferent: "This is not something that has expired. When the family is ready someday, we can pay our respects again."
Qingpinghou and his wife: "!!!"
The scene fell into deathly silence again.
Just when Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu felt relieved and were about to say a few more words before leaving, Qingpinghou suddenly slapped his hand on the table: "Yes! The family just has no money!"
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu: "!!!"
Mrs. Qingpinghou: "!!!"
After Qingpinghou said this, when he looked at Qi Yunxiao, he was a little angry: "I admit that I have been... neglectful towards you these years."
"But your mother is gone, is it wrong for me to marry again?"
"If I marry my wife again, I will have children, right?!"
"Now that she has given birth to a child, she prefers the child she gave birth to...isn't this human nature?"
"Although your stepmother was not considerate enough for you, she didn't care about you in the end! Aren't you still standing here properly? Aren't you still married and having children?"
"Nowadays, my family is struggling. Since you can afford to open so many Guiyun Buildings, make money, and supplement your family's income, what's wrong?!"
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu were shocked that he would say such a thing!
At this moment, Mrs. Qingpinghou was still wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, looking like she had suffered a lot of grievances.
Qi Yunxiao was silent for a moment and sneered: "I always thought that my father didn't even know that my wife sent people to hunt me down and poison me. It turns out that my father knew it?!"
Qingpinghou glanced at Mrs. Qingpinghou, and the shock in his eyes did not seem to be fake: "You! Are you still sending people to chase him?"
Mrs. Qingpinghou shook her head in panic: "I'm not! I didn't!"
Qi Yunxiao looked at the obviously flustered Mrs. Qingping Hou and sneered: "Ordinarily, some things have already passed, and they did not kill me, and they made me have a wife and three children by accident. I shouldn't care about it.
”
Qingpinghou responded: "That's how it should be!"
Qi Yunxiao's eyes were even colder: "But Madam has been persistently trying to destroy me and trample me to death all these years. My father is not ignorant, but he chose to indulge..."
"In the final analysis, it's just because I have a birthmark on my forehead, I can't serve as an official in the court, I can't hold up the lintel of the Qingping Marquis Mansion, and I have a second son in the family, so I am even more dispensable. Therefore, my father feels that if I die,
There’s nothing to lose, right?”
Qingpinghou was at a loss for a moment: He had had these thoughts, but no one had ever said them out.
Now that he was suddenly pointed out by Qi Yunxiao, he was in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he was also a little embarrassed and simply broke the jar and threw it.
"Who is not like this in aristocratic families? As long as there is someone in the family who can hold up the lintel, resources will naturally be tilted towards that one..."
"You have had a dark forehead since you were young, so you are destined not to be an official in the court. Naturally, I can only place my hope on Heng'er..."
"If you are obedient, take good care of your mother's dowry, take back the money you earn, supplement your family income, and pave the way for Heng'er, we will naturally marry you and have children."
"But you have been trying to get rid of the control of the family. You refused to accept the maids you sent, and you sent away the servants. You are becoming more and more stingy and calculating towards the family..."
Qi Yunxiao laughed angrily: "I am stingy and calculating? The family's annual expenses range from a few hundred taels to a few thousand taels, and in the end it was even tens of thousands of taels... Do you know what the wealthy families in the capital say behind their backs what the Qingpinghou Mansion is?
?"
"What is it?" Qingpinghou naturally had never heard of it.
"It is said that the descendants of the Qingping Hou Mansion are all useless and spend money like water. They spent the dowry of the dead ex-wife and even pawned the gold and silverware used for sacrifices. The whole family is not worth mentioning!" p>
Mrs. Qingpinghou: "You...you are talking nonsense!"
Qingpinghou: "You...you..."
He pointed at Qi Yunxiao, stood up suddenly, staggered two steps, fell down, and fainted out of anger.
Mrs. Qingpinghou never expected that this would happen. She was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Master Hou! Master Hou! Master Hou, please don't scare me..."
Housekeepers and servants swarmed in, and they were all scared to death!
"Go and call the doctor! Go and call the doctor..." Someone was shouting.
"There is still energy! There is still energy!" The steward touched the bottom of Pinghou's nose.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just be alive.
Mrs. Qingpinghou slapped her thigh, sat on the ground, and began to cry: "The prince is so angry with his own father..."
Qi Yunxiao: "..."
Shen Qingyu couldn't bear to see this mess, so he pushed the person away and began to check Qingpinghou's pulse.
"What are you going to do? What else do you want to do?" Mrs. Qingpinghou tried to stop her.
The housekeepers and servants also immediately stepped forward, preparing to pull Shen Qingyu away.
Qi Yunxiao also reacted at this time and took action directly.
"Bang bang bang bang..." The people lying on the floor in the hall were all knocked down by Qi Yunxiao!
Even if Mrs. Qingping Hou wanted to step forward to stop her, she was thrown out of the inner circle and sat at the threshold of the hall.
Mrs. Qingpinghou's hair was in disarray and her face was full of tears: "What are you going to do?!"
When Qi Yunheng and several concubines heard the sound and rushed over, they saw Qingpinghou lying on the ground, Qi Yunxiao standing aside, Shen Qingyu getting an acupuncture, the servants and housekeepers lying all over the hall, and my mother-in-law sitting by the door...<
/p>
Moaning, wailing, crying, it’s a mess!
Everyone: "!!!"
Before Qi Yunheng and the concubines and concubines could say anything, Shen Qingyu had already started to pull out the needle, and Qingping Hou also woke up with an "oops" sound.
"What's wrong with me?"
Qingpinghou, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed. His brief amnesia made him look at Qi Yunxiao without any reaction.
The sound of wailing and crying stopped, and everyone looked at Qingpinghou.
Seeing that he was awake, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Shen Qingyu's calm voice sounded: "You became angry and fainted. I gave you a few injections. Now you are fine. You can continue to be an idle prince."
Qingpinghou: "..."
Mrs. Qingpinghou: "..."
A servant in the mansion: "..."
Juniors: "..."
Shen Qingyu glanced at the embarrassing scene and sighed: "Master Hou made a scene today just to rack his brains to get my husband to continue to spend money to support hundreds of people in this huge Hou family, but Master Hou has
I have never thought about why you are making trouble?"
Everyone: "..."
Isn’t this because we can’t make ends meet?
What’s on your mind?
Shen Qingyu glanced at everyone again: "Because you have used my husband's mother's dowry in the early years and you have become accustomed to it. After you get used to it, you think you can use it and should use it! If you don't use it, it shouldn't be used!"
”
"But Daqi law never states that if a woman dies, her dowry can be left to her husband's family."
"The law of Daqi stipulates: Anyone who has biological children should leave them to his children. If there are no biological children, he should return them to his parents' family."
"What my husband got was what he should have got."
"And the reason why you are racking your brains to get money from my husband instead of trying to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure is because... you have been using other people's things for a long time, and you have forgotten that it belongs to others, and you feel that it should be yours.
