Yang Ning knew that the prince's father was the second-rank guard general of Southern Chu, but he didn't know who Jinyi Hou was? Since the funeral took place in Jinyihou Mansion, Jinyihou was naturally among them.
What surprised him even more was that the beautiful third lady was the concubine of the general. If so, his current identity was the heir apparent, the son of the general. In other words, this beautiful lady in front of him was the concubine of the general. This young woman is actually his concubine
However, the third lady did not recognize that she was a fake. It seemed that she had passed this level, but she didn't know how to deal with it next
I also thought that this prince was a confused person, and there were things he couldn't handle, so he could just pretend to be stupid.
Being served and put into mourning clothes, Yang Ning thought to herself that it was really unlucky, and was immediately taken into the mourning hall by the third lady.
The mourning hall was very luxuriously decorated. A white curtain divided the mourning hall into two halves. Yang Ning thought that the coffin should be behind the white curtain. At this time, various fruits and cakes were placed on the mourning hall, and a huge memorial tablet stood in the middle. It says "The position of the great Chu Jinyi Houwei general Qi Bajing".
Yang Ning immediately understood that General Wei was Jin Yihou, and Jin Yihou was General Wei. This was the same person, and his name was Qi Jing. If this was true, could it be that the prince's name was Qi Ning? It's the same as his own name.
There were many people beside the mourning hall at this time. There was also a man kneeling beside the mourning hall, wearing hemp and mourning. When Yang Ning came in, the man suddenly raised his head. Yang Ning saw that the man was about the same age as himself. She was older, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and quite handsome in appearance. However, the moment the man saw him, his expression changed dramatically, as if he had seen a ghost.
Yang Ning thought to herself, am I so scary? I looked around and saw that there were twenty or thirty people on both sides. The mourning hall was huge. Even if there were people inside, it was not crowded at all and it was very open. The most conspicuous thing was that there was a person sitting at the top. He is in his sixties, with white hair, and is dressed in black except for a white scarf tied around his arm.
The old man was talking to someone next to him. When he saw Yang Ning coming in, he was also stunned.
Next to the old man, there was a fat man in his fifties. He was short and chubby, with thin skin and tender meat. He had a mustache and a black beard. He was wrapped in white clothes. When he saw Yang Ning coming in, he also ate it. He was startled, but he came up to him instantly, looking extremely sad, "Your Majesty, you... you are back!"
Yang Ning thought to himself, who are you, but he knew nothing about the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and he didn't even know the people in front of him, so he could only say "hmm" vaguely.
"Pay homage to your father." The third lady pulled Yang Ning forward.
Yang Ning was depressed in his heart, but the matter had come to this, and in front of everyone, since he was the son of Jin Yihou, and his father was dead, a son naturally had to bow, so he could only kneel down and bow a few times before getting up.
The third lady glanced at the young man kneeling beside the spirit and said calmly: "Qi Yu, get up, Ning'er is back, that's his place!"
As soon as the third lady finished speaking, a sneer came from the side, and then a woman walked out of the crowd.
Yang Ning saw that this woman was only in her early thirties, but she was quite pretty, but her lips were thin, and there was a trace of annoyance in her eyebrows. She walked up to the third lady and sneered: "You want Yu'er to give up her position? He He has been kneeling there for several days, and you can make him leave with just one word?"
The third lady's beautiful face showed no expression at all, and she said calmly: "Ning'er is back, so naturally Ning'er is fulfilling her duty as a filial son. If Ning'er is not there, who can be there?"
The woman said in a sharp voice: "Look, everyone, as soon as the master leaves, she will become lawless. It seems that she is preparing to cover the sky with one hand in the Hou Mansion." She raised her finger and pointed at the third lady, "Gu Qinghan, don't forget, The surname here is Qi, not Gu. In the past, I couldn’t control how you showed off your power, but now, do you still want to show off your power here?"
The third lady, Gu Qinghan, had cold eyes and sneered: "Aunt Qiong, this is the mourning hall, not a place for you to yell and scream. Ning'er is the eldest son of the general, so it is natural for him to bear the filial piety. He has nothing to say either emotionally or rationally. , what else is there to argue about? Ning'er was kidnapped a few days ago, so Qi Yu was asked to fulfill her filial piety, but now that Ning'er is back, it's natural that she doesn't have to."
"Yu'er, you're right there, let's see who dares to touch you." Aunt Qiong sneered, "You are the master's son and a descendant of the Qi family, let's see who dares to touch you."
The third lady did not argue with Aunt Qiong. She looked at the old man and bowed Yingying and said: "The third old lady is here, please make a decision."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "Qinghan, don't be too anxious. Let's discuss this matter in the long run."
"Don't be too anxious?" Gu Qinghan showed a smile, "Third Master, it's not me who is anxious now, and I'm afraid we can't take a long-term approach to this kind of thing, right?"
"What, are you saying that I don't speak well?" The third old man's face darkened, and then he sighed, his face softened slightly, and said: "Qinghan, there are such big things happening in the house now, there are many things that we still need to hear more about. Everyone's opinions cannot be arbitrarily determined by Qiankun." He glanced at Qi Yu and said, "Actually, some of what he said is not unreasonable. Qi Yu has been guarding here these days, and we can't just let Ning'er come back. Driving Yu'er away would be like burning a bridge across the river, isn't it?"
Someone on the side suddenly said: "Gu Qinghan, you are covering the sky in the Hou Mansion. Everyone knows this. Now that the eldest brother is gone, do you still want to make the Hou Mansion uneasy?"
Yang Ning took a glance and saw that the person speaking was a man over thirty years old. He was thin and had dull eyes. At first glance, he looked like he was drunk and lustful.
"What does the fifth master mean by this?" Gu Qinghan's eyes tightened and he sneered: "The chickens and dogs are restless? I wonder which of the fifth master's eyes saw the chickens and dogs in the Hou Mansion? If you say that you can cover the sky with one hand, I am a prostitute, I really don't have that ability, if not According to the orders of the Madam and the General, I will not interfere in anything in the house."
"You are a woman who does one thing in front of your face and another behind your back." Another man shouted: "You are gentle and virtuous in front of the Madam, but she is brutal and rude behind her back. Now you are bringing the Madam out, why are you making these things happen again?" An old trick, you want to use the madam to suppress us?" He snorted coldly, "Then you can ask the madam to come out and reason with us face to face."
Gu Qinghan still looked very calm and said calmly: "The prince has disappeared, the general has passed away, and the madam is old and in poor health. These two things happened in succession. Do you think she can still get up and argue with you? Mr. Liu, You shouldn’t have said this in the first place.”
The Sixth Master was obese, even fatter than the fat man with a mustache. His eyes rolled up, and he pointed at Gu Qinghan and said, "What can't you say? Sixth Master, it's your turn to tell me what I want to say." ? Today we have one thing to say, and two things to say two. We can’t let you mess around here."
Yang Ning was a little confused at this time.
This group of people were obviously members of the Qi family, but Yang Ning couldn't figure out the relationship between these people for a while, but everyone, old and young, seemed to be dissatisfied with Gu Qinghan, and they were all angry at Gu Qinghan at the moment.
Gu Qinghan obviously wanted to win the position of filial son for himself. It didn't seem like a big deal, but it just attracted these people to attack him.
He thought to himself that if this kind of thing is not fought for, he will fight for it. If he wins the position, he will have to kneel there. Since someone is willing, he can just let him kneel.
But seeing that these people were all targeting Gu Qinghan, Yang Ning felt quite dissatisfied.
"Everyone, the third lady is also thinking about the overall situation, you...!" At this moment, Duan Canghai suddenly stood in front of the door. After he and Qi Feng entered the house, they followed Yang Ning and the third lady to the mourning hall, but did not enter the house. , all kneeling outside. At this time, they obviously couldn't stand the crowd attacking the three ladies, so they stepped forward to persuade them.
Before he could finish his words, the thin Fifth Master had already said sternly: "Duan Canghai, who the hell are you? You are just a dog in the Marquis's house. What qualifications do you have to speak here?"
"If you don't want to eat this bowl of rice, get out now." Mr. Liu shouted as if his tail was being stepped on, "Gu Qinghan, see for yourself, does the Hou Mansion still have rules? A dog-like thing, You can also call here. Is this your rule? You just said that the Hou Mansion is not restless, but now you can see it?" He raised his hands and said loudly: "Everyone is watching, something big and strange happened in the Jinyi Hou Mansion. A caretaker is actually gesticulating in the mourning hall and saying that he is looking out for the overall situation. If this matter is to be spread, will our Qi family have any shame?"
Duan Canghai's face was ashen, his lips moved, but he stopped talking. He just lowered his head, clenched his fists, veins popped out, and his body was trembling.
"You still hold your fist?" Fifth Master sneered, "What, you still want to attack us?" He walked forward, stood in front of Duan Canghai, and shouted at Duan Canghai: "Fifth Master, I am here now, I know You charged into battle, crawled out from the dead, and had good martial arts skills. Now you take action and kill the fifth master with one punch. If you don't dare to take action, you are a fucking coward."
Gu Qinghan already said at this time: "Canghai, you go down first!"
Duan Canghai lowered his head and cupped his hands. Fifth Master suddenly raised his foot and kicked Duan Canghai in the abdomen, cursing "bitch". Duan Canghai obviously did not expect that Fifth Master would suddenly kick and was kicked in the lower abdomen. , his body took two steps back. Fortunately, he was strong and strong, so he only took two steps back and did not fall.
"Oh, you are still shouting in the sea." Aunt Qiong suddenly became more confident when she saw everyone speaking for her, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Gu Qinghan, why did he rush out to protect you? On weekdays, he and You are so close, could it be possible...!"
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a crisp "pop" sound. Gu Qinghan raised his hand and slapped her in the face. This slap was so crisp that the mourning hall fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked surprised. Aunt Qiong Covering his beaten face, he was stunned for a moment, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, but soon anger appeared first, and he screamed: "You... you dare to hit me?" He stretched out his hand and scratched Gu Qinghan's face, scolding him. Said: "You bitch, if you dare to hit me, I will fight with you...!"
