In the process of chatting with Qiuniang, Qi Qingxi caught Qiuniang's almost fatal weakness, that is Qiuniang's son.

Just now she had only chatted with Qiuniang a few times, but her son was everywhere in her words, and she even smiled when she mentioned her son.

Qi Qingxi gently touched her lower abdomen: "This will come out of my stomach in a few months. I have been thinking about how to raise this child in the future."

Qiu Niang laughed and said, "Madam's family is rich, raising a child is no problem at all."

Qi Qingxi smiled and shook her head: "Don't talk about raising a child, it is difficult to give birth to a child. After finally giving birth, you have to worry about the child's basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and worry that the child will get sick if he can't take care of it."

She looked at Qiuniang meaningfully and continued: "After the child grows up, he has to worry about his future, and when he gets older, he has to worry about the child's marriage. I hope that the child can marry a good wife and be born again." There are two grandchildren, and the family lives in harmony."

Qi Qingxi has been observing the changes in Qiuniang's expression, and sure enough, Qiuniang was obviously stunned when she heard her words.

She pretended to ask Qiuniang casually: "How old is the son of Qiuniang's family this year? But he has reached the age of marriage? But Qiuniang doesn't seem to be very old, so the son should not be that old now."

Qiuniang came back to her senses, smiled and waved her hands and said, "Wow, my child is already twelve."

Qi Qingxi pretended to be surprised and said: "I'm already twelve, I remember my younger brother is also a scholar at about this age."

Qiuniang smiled: "The one in my family is not as good as your son."

Although Qiuniang pretended to be relaxed on the surface, she thought in her heart that her son was originally a good material for studying. If it hadn't been delayed by his father, maybe he would be able to take the exam for a scholar now.

"There's nothing like it." Qi Qingxi said.

She briefly talked to Qiu Niang about the things about her family, and said with a smile: "My eldest brother just got a Jinshi this year, but I know that even if he doesn't find his uncle and doesn't come to the capital with his ability, he can still do it. Passed the Jinshi exam."

As soon as Qi Qingxi finished speaking, Gingko came in and said, "Ma'am, there is someone outside who claims to be the housekeeper of Mr. Wu's residence, the servant of the Ministry of War, and says that he has something to see his wife."

Qiuniang looked at Qi Qingxi in surprise when she heard the words of Master Wu, the servant of the Ministry of War. Since she was rescued by that son yesterday and brought here, she still doesn't know where she is.

It's just that she was brought along this way by that girl just now, and she knew that this place must be the mansion of a certain rich family.

But now, it seems that it is the mansion of a certain adult in the court.

Qiuniang heard Qi Qingxi sneer again: "Who did you send a housekeeper here to fool? Go and tell him, if he doesn't want me to let Wu Cheng go, then just spend it."

The key point in Qiuniang's grabbing Qi Qingxi's words was that she was taken aback again, the rogue son of the Wu family was actually arrested by the lady in front of her, and this lady dared to arrest the son of Wu Shilang's family.

Ginkgo was ordered by Qi Qingxi to go out and reply to the housekeeper.

Qi Qingxi continued to talk to Qiuniang with a smile: "Where did we talk just now? By the way, I heard from my guard that you met a bad guy yesterday."

Now that Qiuniang guessed Qi Qingxi's identity, she no longer dared to talk to Qi Qingxi as easily as she did just now.

She answered Qi Qingxi's questions carefully.

"Returning to Madam, villain, villain, I met a few villains in my shop yesterday. Fortunately, I met your guards and I escaped unharmed."

Qiuniang didn't know Qi Qingxi's specific identity, and she didn't dare to reveal her own affairs at will.

As the saying goes, officials and officials protect each other, if the lady in front of me ends up getting involved with the Wu family again, wouldn't her fate be worse than yesterday.

Qi Qingxi saw the changes in Qiuniang, and the Wu family came at the right time, so she simply told Qiuniang what Wu Cheng did yesterday.

Qi Qingxi sneered: "Although my husband's rank is not as high as that of the Minister of the Ministry of War, my Gu family is not a vegetarian. It's impossible for his Wu family to bully me so much and want me to let it go lightly."

When Qiuniang heard this, she seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and threw herself to Qi Qingxi and knelt down: "Madam please do me a favor and save Qiuniang's life."

Qi Qingxi pretended to be surprised and helped Qiuniang up: "If you have something to say, what are you doing kneeling down?"

Qiuniang didn't want to get up, she grabbed Qi Qingxi's hand and helped her to sit down: "Madam first listen to the villain, the villain was also almost insulted by Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng even killed the villain's husband." .”

Qi Qingxi opened his eyes wide: "It turns out that Wu Cheng said yesterday that he had killed someone. Could it be that person is your husband?"

Qiu Niang nodded.

Qi Qingxi said again: "Why don't you report the murder to the authorities?"

Qiuniang smiled wryly: "I don't know, Ma'am, Wu Cheng committed crimes not once or twice, but because he has a good father who is an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War, he always suffers from being dumb when he reports to the official. At that time, my father-in-law had already been killed. , I thought that instead of reporting to the official and being fooled in the end, it would be better to take advantage of the enthusiasm, after all, my child and I will continue to live."

As she spoke, Qiuniang's face was full of resentment, and tears welled up in her eyes: "To tell you the truth, Ma'am, that dead ghost in my family is not a good person. He usually looks like a human being, but when he drinks, he disowns his relatives. Every time he He beat me to death when I was drunk, and he didn't even spare his own son."

"The ice in the river just melted in the spring of that year. After he was drunk, he threw his son directly into the river. If there were no kind people passing by to save me, my son would have frozen to death, and my son would have died because of this sickness."

Qiuniang clenched her fists, her face full of hatred.

When the dead ghost was beaten to death by Wu Cheng with a hammer, not only was she not afraid, she was even somewhat happy.

Thinking of her son rolling over in pain every time he had a cold attack, she wished she could beat that villain to death a few more times.

Qi Qingxi nodded, she understood Qiuniang's actions to a certain extent, such a husband and son-in-law, she would have run away with the child long ago.

Although she had already learned from Ah Er that Qiu Niang came back this time to take back her own shop, but the matter was obviously rejected by the Wu family.

Qiuniang, a weak woman with no power and power, didn't take her son away from the wrong place quickly, and even broke into the shop late at night by herself.

Seeing that Qiuniang was willing to talk about things now, Qi Qingxi stopped beating around the bush and asked her own questions directly.

"Since you had a private affair with the Wu family, why do you want me to save you now? It is also said that the place where my guards rescued you yesterday was your shop."

"The shop has been seized by the Wu family. You should know that with the help of the Wu family, there is no room for turning around the matter. Why didn't you take your son and leave instead of sneaking in late at night and almost lost your life?"
