Family Has a Concubine

Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan came to the empty house, walked into the bedroom, and saw Mrs. Mei lying on a simple bed, and the doctor was taking her pulse.

Uncle Chu and Chu Feiyang were standing aside, frowning deeply.

After a while, the doctor stood up, and Uncle Chu quickly asked, How is it?

The doctor shook his head: The relapse of the old disease, the aging of various organs, this is inevitable.

Uncle Chu sighed fiercely, his eyes were a little sad, but he was also a little relieved. After all, Mrs. Mei was already eighty years old, and it was expected that she would be weak.

Let the old lady rest well, the old man will prescribe the medicine. The doctor said, and went out.

I'll take the doctor off. Uncle Chu said, and looked at Chu Yunpan again, You stay here and watch the old lady. After saying that, he followed the doctor out.

Chu Feiyang glanced at Chu Yunpan, then turned and left.

Ye Tangcai sat on the plum blossom embroidered pier beside the bed, looking at the old Mrs. Mei who fell asleep.

I remember the first time I saw her, I only felt that she was majestic, her old face was always tense, and her eyes were cold and sharp. But now, the originally tense face relaxed, and the whole person looked old and haggard.

Third grandma. At this moment, Nanny Zhang came in and called Ye Tangcai, her eyes were involuntarily attracted by Chu Yunpan who was beside Ye Tangcai.

That skinny young man has grown up, his body is as proud as a bamboo, but cold and independent, his whole body exudes awe-inspiring aura, his eyes are calm and sharp, he is already a general in his own right!

Ever since the old lady smiled when she learned that the third master had returned in triumph, she felt... relaxed. Nanny Zhang smiled, her eyes were slightly red, but she was very relieved.

Ye Tangcai's heart was heavy. The old lady was suffering from illness, her family was not up to date, and she was making troubles in one litter after another. She was suffering and suffering physically and mentally, and she also felt hopeless mentally, but she was hard-pressed. Hold on.

Until this moment...

Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan stood guard for a while, and Mrs. Mei finally coughed twice and woke up leisurely.

Grandmother, drink some water first. Ye Tangcai quickly turned around and poured a glass of boiled water, holding a spoon, and feeding her little by little.

Mrs. Mei drank some water from her hand, and then she calmed down a little. She looked at Chu Yunpan involuntarily, and saw that the young man was as cold as bone, vigorous as bamboo, as awe-inspiring as frost, and his appearance was gorgeous and handsome. extraordinary.

This child... come here, let me take a look. Mrs. Mei only felt that her vision was a little blurry.

Chu Yunpan stepped forward, squatted on one knee beside the bed, and said lightly: Grandma, you can't die!

Mrs. Mei was startled, and then moved: Sanlang, you child, our grandparents and grandchildren haven't seen each other for more than ten years, I can't think of you...

Chu Yunpan looked closely at her old face, and after a moment of silence, he said: I don't have any children yet, if you die, I have to keep my filial piety, I don't know how long I'll have to wait.

Mrs. Mei choked, and her whole body was in a bad mood. She was silent for a while before she said, Don't worry, grandma won't drag you down. Go back and work hard.

Thank you grandma. Chu Yunpan was moved.

Ye Tangcai's eyes went dark, and she was so angry that she almost fell to the ground.

The corner of Zhang Nanny's mouth twitched, and she supported Ye Tangcai: Third Grandma, are you okay?

...

Yixiangyuan——

After Mrs. Mei and the others left, Mrs. Qin was so angry that she fell on the kang table and said nothing.

Wherever Aunt Bai and Chu Miaohua dared to touch her, they seized the opportunity and slipped away. Luzhi broke her mouth this morning and stopped serving her. Luye has always been a person who would shake her head when she asks a question, and she has never been in Qin's heart.

For a while, Qin Shi felt a sense of isolation and helplessness.

Aunt Fei was full of unwillingness, and said coldly: Madam, how can we take advantage of that bastard like this. He is not filial! He is not filial!

Qin Shi listened with fierce eyes.

Which family divides the family like this, a bastard actually takes the big head. Aunt Fei said angrily, He has made a fortune now, and he is a Marquis. I don't know how prosperous it is. But we are still poor and settled, and we only get a thousand children and eight hundred a year. With an income of two silver coins, what will others think of him?

Qin was shocked, yes, now I don't know how many people are staring at this shameless bastard.

The higher he stood, the more people would dislike him. If it was suddenly reported that after he became famous, he broke up with his family and took away almost all the rewards he got. How would others think of him?

Unkind and ungrateful, forget your roots!

At that time, if she and Chu Miaoshu cry outside again, his reputation will be useless!

Thinking about it, Qin became a little excited, and called coldly: Luye, go and call that bitch over!

The green leaves outside were startled, and their face turned blue and white.

She didn't want to offend Ye Tangcai before, let alone now.

But how dare she disobey Qin's orders, so she walked out the door with stiff steps.

In Qiongmingxuan, Huiran and Qiuju were sweeping the floor in the courtyard, almost rolling their eyes. How long are they going to continue sweeping?

Ever since she came back from the vacant residence, Ye Tangcai quietly pulled Huiran to let her and Qiuju sweep the floor here, while Ye Tangcai sat under the banana tree and made nets.

Chu Yunpan sat on a stone bench beside him, staring at Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tangcai blushed from his stare, and couldn't help but glared at him. Staring at her like this in front of the faces of the two servant girls... She really didn't dare to be alone with him.

At this time, Luye walked in, and when she saw Chu Yunpan here, her footsteps paused, her face stiffened: Third master...Third grandma.

What's the matter? Chu Yunpan asked coldly.

Luye trembled from his sharp gaze, but she couldn't finish the injury, she would be rubbed to death by Mrs. Qin, she gritted her teeth and said, Madam...Madam asked the third grandma to go over.

Chu Yunpanjun's face darkened, and he was about to get up.

Ye Tangcai had already thrown the net in her hand, and glanced at him: I'll go, I don't have to be a big man like you, arguing with these women all day long, it's not a good look.

Saying that, Ye Tangcai stood up and walked quickly towards Yixiangyuan.

Soon they came to Yixiang Courtyard, walked in, and saw Qin Shi and Aunt Fei sitting on it with serious expressions.

Qin said with a sneer: After all, it was Sanlang who made the meritorious deeds, even the 10,000 taels of silver, you should take them away!

Ye Tang raised his brows: Mother, is this serious? If that's the case, I won't be polite!

Hearing this, Qin Shi only felt dizzy, this shameless and shameless person. Then he sneered: The old matriarch has spoken, how dare we take advantage of it. We don't need your filial piety.

Ye Tangcai instantly knew what she was planning.

But she saw Mrs. Qin holding up the blue and white teacup on the side, and said with a smile: After all, he has made a fortune, unlike our poor relatives. After you move out, you will be the honorable Lord and Madam Hou, and we will still settle down.

Yes, yes! Aunt Fei yelled quickly, Others will say that you are white-eyed wolves! You don't have parents, brothers, or family ties in your heart. No matter how many achievements you make, you are disrespectful and disfilial.

As she said that, Aunt Fei glanced at Ye Tangcai proudly, thinking that Ye Tangcai would feel scared or angry, but she didn't want to, but when she turned around, she saw a cold smile on Ye Tangcai's face.

Seeing Ye Tangcai's weird smile, Qin's face sank: What are you laughing at?

I'm not laughing at anything. Ye Tangcai said flatly, and then sighed slightly, I'm sighing, the third master and I are both white-eyed wolves who don't recognize poor relatives!

You— Qin's face changed, she never expected that she didn't want to be famous? She knows best that the taller a person is, the more he cherishes his feathers, otherwise, his prominence is only temporary.

When the time comes, you just wait to be spurned! Aunt Fei said anxiously.

Well! Let's wait and see who is the worst. Ye Tangcai turned and left after finishing speaking.

Seeing that Ye Tangcai left just like that, Qin's eyes widened. Could it be that this bitch is really shamelessly thick-skinned? Moreover, do you really want to take all the 10,000 taels away?

Okay, okay, I'll see what you can get! Qin said bitterly.

Ma'am! At this moment, there was an urgent shout from outside.

Qin Shi was startled, and saw an old woman with a gray bijia, her head covered and her forehead wiped, walking in, carrying a bundle in her hand.

Seeing this nanny, Aunt Fei was startled: Hey, aren't you Nanny Ding? Why are you here?

This Nanny Ding was Qin's companion, and she had been by Qin's side all the time. Later, when the family fell into disrepair, many servants sold her off.

Nanny Ding would not be sold out as the accompanying room of the Qin family, but in order to reduce expenses and manpower, the Qin family did not need so many people to accompany her, so the Qin family left the green branch of Nanny Ding's daughter, and Nanny Ding Mammy went to Zhuangzi to see the farm. One year is June, and only in December at the end of the year will they go to Beijing to pay the land rent.

It's only September, why is Nanny Ding here again?

Nanny Ding gave Aunt Fei a white look: Madam said earlier that now that the family is up, it is inevitable that some people will be added to look good, so call me back to take care of me, and the farm will send another person out.

You're here so soon. Qin looked at Nanny Ding.

That's right! It's a good thing I came back early, otherwise my wife would have done something stupid. Nanny Ding said.

What's so stupid? Aunt Fei frowned, Those two bastards from Sanfang actually took everything away, so let's go out and ruin their reputation, saying that they are white-eyed wolves. Kicked it away. Even my aunt and my own father don't care, I only care about enjoying wealth!

Mrs. Qin agreed with Aunt Fei very much, and her eyes were red: Girl Luzhi committed a crime, and the green leaves are useless. Madam Ding, you hurried back and worked hard all day. But... I really can't swallow this. I'm so angry, I'll trouble you to go outside in a while and help me with this matter.

It was about releasing rumors that Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan were ruthless and ignorant and kicked them away.

Nanny Ding's complexion changed: Madam, no, if you do this, how will the eldest girl find a marriage?

Qin was taken aback.

Nanny Ding continued: Now is the time when the third master is the most famous and the people are most supportive. Even if this kind of thing is reported, the people may not believe it. If they believe it, what will the wife think?

What will happen? Aunt Fei asked coldly.

Then it has become a fact! The third master is a white-eyed wolf, and he doesn't recognize us! said Nanny Ding.

That's right! He's a white-eyed wolf! It's best to be honest! Besides, this is the truth. Aunt Fei shouted.

You bastard! Seeing her yelling loudly, Nanny Ding was so angry that she wanted to slap her to death, That's right, I don't recognize us anymore. The third master is still a wealthy Marquis, but his reputation is just worse. We are still living in a broken household, it has become a fact! How does the big girl talk about marriage? Now the big girl wants to go out in the name of the third master when she talks about marriage, but now she says that the third master doesn’t recognize us, what about the big girl? Marry a good family? Do you really want to marry a fourth-rank official of the Xu family?

Qin's complexion changed, his whole body shivered, and he instantly understood what was going on.

If such rumors really come out, then, the third master will still be the third master, let's not think about it. The girl doesn't need to talk about kissing. Can the third master afford it? Can the girl afford it?

Qin's eyes darkened, and she almost fell to the ground.

Then he trembled with anger.

No wonder, no wonder Mrs. Ye was not afraid at all. It turned out that it was not Mrs. Ye who threw the mouse, but them.

Then what should we do now? Aunt Fei was about to jump.

Hold it! Nanny Ding said and gave Aunt Fei a cold look.

Forbearance? Aunt Fei's eyes widened.

Yes. Nanny Ding nodded, Not only can there be no rumors of discord, but you must also be kind to the outside world, my wife. These things are earned by the third master, so they are considered to be from the public, and let the third master bring them to the public. Let's go, so we can settle into a new home.

Qin's eyes darkened with anger.

Aunt Fei's face turned green and then pale, she turned and walked out, but Nanny Ding shouted coldly: Aunt Fei, don't go back and make trouble quietly, if there are really bad rumors, it will be you who did it. You will feel better then.

Aunt Fei slipped on her feet and almost fell to the ground, she finally threw up the curtain with a clatter and ran out.

Qin Shi was so angry that she clutched her chest and lay down on the kang table beside her.

Mother Ding said: The most important thing now is the Xu family's marriage. I'm already engaged and hired. How can I withdraw?

Go and call the matchmaker over and tell her to retreat... Qin said coldly.

The matchmaker won't accept such a job. Nanny Ding said, We can't delay any longer, otherwise it will be even more difficult for them to find a good marriage when they move out.

Qin Shi nodded: Then let's go now!

After saying that, he went out with Ding Momo. When they came to Chu Xu's house, the Qin family handed over the post, and the Xu family immediately let people in.

Because of Chu Yun's high achievements, the Xu family received Qin's message, and they were also very respectful. Qin came to the door and quickly invited him to the main hall, and entertained him with the best tea and snacks.

Mrs. Xu walked into the hall, and when she saw Mrs. Qin, she ouched, Hello, my wife!

Qin's face twitched, who is your in-laws! He just chuckled: Madam Xu, you're here.

Mrs. Xu did not go to the couch, but sat down on the armchair next to Mrs. Qin across a coffee table: My wife is free today, I heard that you are also a Marquis and a mansion granter, so you are very busy. open.

The Qin family responded for a moment, and only said: That's right...my son...now he is really big, and everyone respects him three points.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: This is a good thing, good luck to my mother-in-law!

Qin Shi only felt more distressed and uncomfortable, with hatred on his face: Where is the blessing! I am so angry.

The smile on Mrs. Xu's face froze for a moment. Is this a disagreement? However, it is inevitable that they are not biological. But is it necessary to speak out?

No, Qin shi lowered her head and wiped her tears again, with an aggrieved look on her face.

Hey... What's wrong with my wife? Mrs. Xu was shocked, is it so serious?

That rebellious son is going to take care of Sister Shu's marriage. Qin cried, He said that he doesn't have a real sister. Now that he is a Marquis, he said he would take Sister Shu out. Marriage, how can you marry the Xu family!

Ah? Mrs. Xu was startled, Is there such a thing?

Qin only held her chest, and said bitterly: God knows how satisfied I am with my nephew... Unfortunately... that rebellious son is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is also a Marquis. How dare I refute him, I just talk to him If you speak louder, others will say that I rubbed the concubine. I have thought about it... I should withdraw from the marriage! When I don’t get it, he will wear small shoes for Mr. Xu in front of the emperor.”

Mrs. Xu was stunned, and couldn't help but sized up the Qin family. She wasn't stupid. The world always hates the poor and loves the rich. Now that the Chu family has risen, does the Qin family want to kick them out of the Xu family?

Thinking about it, Mrs. Xu smiled coldly: We are not afraid. My wife, don't worry! Speaking of which, my master and Lord Hou have some kind of friendship. After all, my master is the son of the country for offering wine, and Lord Hou He was born as the No. 1 Scholar again... After he was in high school, he often discussed knowledge with my master. Looking back, let my master ask Lord Hou to see what is going on.

Qin's complexion changed, and she was so angry that she wanted to faint. If this matter came to Chu Yunpan, maybe Chu Yunpan would raise her hands in favor of Shujie's marriage to Xu's family and settle down!

Qin was angry.

Nanny Ding, who was behind her, knew that the Xu family had seen through it, so she spoke harshly: Mrs. Xu...people go to high places, but water flows to low places...

So let's go to a higher place! Mrs. Xu looked at Qin, and said with a smile: Just like you back then. Now Mrs. Chu wants to regret the marriage? Halfway through the three letters and six ceremonies, we don't even have wedding invitations. You are sent out, are you not married? I want to know, what are you relying on? Is it because of Lord Hou? I really want to ask Lord Hou to see how this marriage is going.

You... Qin was almost furious.

No, no, Mrs. Xu, I have something to discuss. Nanny Ding hurried forward and said.

There is nothing else to discuss. Let's go back and prepare for the wedding. Mrs. Xu said coldly.

Qin shi ruthlessly flicked his sleeves, turned and left.

Nanny Ding frowned deeply, she knew it would not be so easy. After all, they made an engagement when the Chu family was in the most difficult time, but now that the Chu family has woken up, they want to withdraw the marriage again, and no one is willing to change it.

When Qin returned home, Chu Miaoshu was waiting for her sitting at the hanging flower gate, and rushed over when she saw her: Mother, how are you?

Qin's face was ugly: How can it be so easy.

Then what should we do? Chu Miaoshu was about to cry angrily.

The mother and daughter returned to the Yixiang Courtyard and just sat down when Aunt Bai walked in: Oh, the wife is finally back.

Qin gave Aunt Bai a cold look.

Holding a food box in her hand, Aunt Bai stepped forward, I made some corn cakes, and I specially brought them to my wife to try.
