Gu Qinghan was shocked to hear this, with a solemn look on his face, and said softly: "All this is just a conjecture. There is no evidence to prove that the Madam is planning this."
"Is this the truth? Sanniang doesn't have to worry." Qi Ning chuckled and said: "Sanniang, I just said that once the Qi family loses, I will bear the brunt of the misfortune, but Qi Yu can still survive. But I didn't say If the Qi family can get out of the crisis, what will be the outcome later?"
Gu Qinghan asked: "What do you think will happen?"
"If the Qi family can survive the crisis, regain its position in the court, and even become an indispensable force in the court, my end may be even worse." Qi Ning sighed softly: "Not just me, maybe even Sanniang will also suffer disaster."
Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"The old woman is old and has only a few years to live." Qining whispered: "But to this day, she still has not let go of her hatred for my mother. Sanniang thinks whether she is really willing to hand over the Qi family to Me? Do you know that many ferocious beasts are very patient when hunting, and will not act rashly until the last moment. When the time comes, they will definitely fight with all their strength, making sure to hit with one hit."
Gu Qinghan listened a little confused, but fortunately Qining had already explained: "The old woman doesn't do anything to me now, just because the time has not come yet, and she needs to use me to do things for the Jinyi Qi family. If one day the Jinyi Qi family is in Chu State Indispensable, and since she is dying, it may be time to hunt.”
Gu Qinghan was surprised and said: "Ning'er, do you think... do you think your grandmother regards you as prey?"
"She has no affection for my mother, and will even kill her just because someone mentions her. How much affection do you think she has for me?" Qining sighed softly: "Although I don't understand how much she cares for my mother. A huge hatred, but I can be sure that her hatred for my mother has extended to me." One hand has been clenched into a fist, and he said solemnly: "I even wonder if one day she feels that the time has come. When I arrive, I will personally get rid of this thorn in my side."
"Impossible." Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled, and she lost her voice: "She... how could she...!" But he didn't say any more, and his pretty face was full of horror: "When did you have such an idea?"
Qi Ning did not explain, but just said: "If she wanted Qi Yu to inherit the family business, she would definitely get rid of me before she was alive, and then welcome Qi Yu back. You also said that she and Daguangming Temple secretly We have been in contact with each other. If one day she wants Qi Yu to return to the Qi family, it shouldn't be too difficult." She sighed lightly: "If I die, even if Qi Yu is a concubine, she will be the only bloodline of the Jinyi Qi family. , he naturally became the heir of Jin Yihou, and everything I gained through my efforts was used to make wedding clothes for others, and became Qi Yu's pocket."
When Gu Qinghan heard this, she couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine. She wasn't sure that what Qin Ning said was the truth, but if Qin Ning really expected all this, then the madam's conspiracy would be too terrifying.
Gu Qinghan was no ordinary woman. She was born into a wealthy family in Jiangling, and she married into the Jinyi Qi family, one of the few wealthy families in Chu State today.
She knew very well that in that rich and luxurious mansion, the bigger the family, the more conspiracies and intrigues behind it. Throughout the ages, the royal family has fought against each other in order to compete for the throne, and such dramas in the wealthy mansions have never ended. .
She felt a chill in her body, and couldn't help but wrap her arms around her delicate body, and her legs, which were originally straight, couldn't help but curl up.
"The Jinyi Qi family is a first-class military family in Chu State." Qi Ning said solemnly: "Even if my father passes away, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The power in the hands of the Qi family cannot disappear immediately after his father's death. But when it comes Today, can you see that the old woman told me any power related to the Qi family? The Black Scale Battalion in my hands was obtained by me with the help of the emperor. In addition, I am a dignified Jinyihou. Sometimes I feel like I have no one available."
Gu Qinghan just sighed quietly and said nothing.
"Sanniang, if things develop as I expected, the old woman will kill me sooner or later." Qi Ning looked serious, "And once Qi Yu comes back to regain control of the Hou Mansion, the first person he will deal with is you, and it will even affect you. Your entire Gu family, and even Duan Canghai's group of guards and servants who I have been friends with on weekdays will not be spared."
Gu Qinghan couldn't help biting her red lips.
She was naturally aware of Qi Yu's mother and son's resentment towards her, because Aunt Qiong had taken away the management rights of the Marquis Mansion from Aunt Qiong, and Aunt Qiong already hated her to the core. Later, she assisted Qin Ning to inherit the title, and Qi Yu's mother and son One was sent to Daguangming Temple, and the other was expelled from the Hou Mansion. With such hatred, even ordinary people would not be able to let go, let alone Qi Yu's mother and son, whose flaws must be repaid.
But she just sneered and said, "Do you think I will be afraid of their mother and son?"
"Of course Sanniang won't be afraid, but you have to think about the Gu family." Qi Ning said: "Mrs. Gu and the others have already arrived in the capital, right under the nose of the Jinyi Hou Mansion. If Qi Yu really comes back to inherit the title, the Gu family will There's no way you can be his opponent. You know Qi Yu's temperament better than I do, and I don't need to say more about how he will treat the Gu family when the time comes."
When Gu Qinghan thought that Qi Yu would use cruel methods to deal with the Gu family, a chill ran down her back, and she panicked in her heart. She couldn't help but reached out and grabbed Qi Ning's arm, "Ning'er, if... if that's really the case, what should we do?"
"That's why I want Sanniang to tell me everything she knows." Qining calmly held Gu Qinghan's white little hand and said softly: "No matter whether the old woman is going to do something to me or not, we must take precautions and prepare early. Okay. But I really don’t know much about her right now, so I can only rely on you to provide information about her. The more I know, the better I know how to deal with her, so that we won’t be caught off guard when she really wants to take action. "
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then said: "She has been hiding in the Buddhist hall all year round. I occasionally go and take a look, but I don't know much." After a pause, he said: "Actually... Actually, you said that she is resentful of you. Maybe... maybe it really is."
"Oh?" Qining saw Gu Qinghan's eyes flashing and immediately held her hand tightly: "Sanniang, are you hiding something important from me?"
Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly and said: "Actually... It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's just... I'm afraid that after you find out, you will feel resentful, and... and you will act out of anger, and you will suffer the consequences when the time comes."
"Sanniang, you don't have to worry about this." Qining smiled and said: "I have grown up and am a real man. What do you know, even though you told me that I want to plan for our future, I will never act out of emotion. "My thumb gently stroked the back of Gu Qinghan's jade hand and whispered: "I have always said that I must protect Sanniang in this life. This is not random nonsense, it is what I think in my heart. Even if it is for you, I will endure it. , waiting for the opportunity.”
Gu Qinghan felt a little itchy when his fingers touched the back of his hand. He wanted to break free, but for some reason, his hand only moved but did not use any force to break free.
Qi Ning is a veteran at this, and the other party's reaction allows him to guess his thoughts in an instant. He knows that Gu Qinghan has no intention of resisting, and is elated, but he also knows that he cannot push too far, and for the time being, he can only keep silent about this beautiful young woman's delicate hands. Son, although it was dark everywhere, I saw Gu Qinghan's profile at this time, and saw that her face was soft and her breasts were rising slightly. I thought that one of the biggest reasons why I stayed in Jinyihou Mansion was because of you. No matter how difficult it is in the future, I will conquer you in the end.
"You know that there was a gap of nearly ten years between the time your mother passed away and the time I married into your Qi family." Gu Qinghan said quietly, "You just asked who was taking care of you during this time."
Qi Ning immediately said: "Yes, Sanniang, is it the old woman who has been taking me with you?"
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Ning'er, do you know that when you were three or four years old, you were very talented. No matter what you learned, you learned faster than others, and you had a photographic memory. Zhuo... Mr. Zhuo said back then that as long as you have a good life **, when you grow up, you will be able to do something great."
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
Gu Qinghan said that he was talented when he was three or four years old. The real protagonist was of course the Jinyi Crown Prince who had died long ago. Qining always thought that the Jinyi Crown Prince was stupid after he was born, but when he heard what Gu Qinghan said, he immediately knew that there was something else going on. Something is fishy.
"Sanniang, this... who told you this?"
"Your third uncle." Gu Qinghan sighed softly: "When I married into the Jinyi Qi family, you became taciturn, and...!" It was difficult to continue, Qining had already said: "And you are stupid."
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Your third uncle treats you very well. It's just that he is away from home all year round, so he can't always accompany you, but when he comes back, he will always take you out to play. He told me, You were smart and smart when you were young, and even Mr. Zhuo Qingyang praised you highly. Originally... your father and Mr. Zhuo had agreed that when you were five years old, you would study under Mr. Zhuo. But… !"
"But what?"
"But when you were five years old, you suddenly became taciturn all day long. No matter what others said, you just... just smiled." Gu Qinghan gritted his teeth and said: "Later I found out that there were some evil-hearted slaves in the house. When others weren't paying attention, they still made fun of you, but I later expelled those people from the Marquis Mansion."
Qi Ning thought to himself that the life of the Jinyi prince was really miserable when he was a child.
"Before you changed your temper, Mrs. Tai was always with you." Gu Qinghan whispered: "After you became taciturn and didn't speak, Mrs. Qiong handed you over to Aunt Qiong. From then on, before I married into the Qi family, Aunt Qiong has always taken care of you."
Qi Ning was surprised: "So, I... I have been with Aunt Qiong for four or five years?" Thinking of Aunt Qiong's fierce and vicious temper, he couldn't help but sigh for the dead Prince Jin Yi, without Gu Qinghan saying it. , Qining also knew that for the Jinyi Prince, those few years by Aunt Qiong's side were probably not much different from living in hell.
