When they arrived at the main courtyard, the servants who had already received instructions had arranged everything neatly. As soon as he entered the door, Qi Yunxi sneezed at the warm air blowing in his face, and then he took off his cloak with the help of Qi.
Seeing the maids in Qi's room busy serving tea and water, Qi Yunxi's bone-chilling gaze finally warmed up a little. He smiled and said, "Stop busying yourself. Let them all go down. We can talk freely."
Qi responded hastily, sent the servants away, walked forward, knelt on the ground with a plop, and called out "Aunt" with tears in her eyes.
Qi Yunxi helped her up: "Okay, why do you keep kneeling? Are you okay recently?"
Qi wiped her tears and told the story again with a sore cheek: "Apart from these, there is no other difficulty. It's just that Xian'er's reputation is really bad. Now my father-in-law has chosen the Feng family, and she will marry far away."
Qi Yunxi put his hands on the fire basket to warm himself, and agreed: "I have already inquired about the Feng family, they are very good. When it comes to living, they seek benefits. The Feng family will naturally worship Xian'er as their ancestor. She can't stand being wronged, so this is enough. As for the girl from the Su family... she won't be rampant for long."
Speaking of this, Qi Yunxi asked Qi to talk about Su Yao again: "I have asked people to inquire about this girl. Whether she was in the Shen family or the He family in Taiyuan, she had no reputation. Many people didn't even know that the He family had such a cousin. I heard that they rarely brought her when they visited. How come such an ordinary person became famous in the capital?"
The Qi family knew even less about this.
She shook her head. "Who knows? She's just like a thorn in the side. Anyone who gets involved with her will suffer. Now people outside are calling her a jinx. They're all afraid of bringing bad luck upon themselves by provoking her."
"That's quite interesting." Qi Yunxi smiled. "It only brings bad luck to those who don't like her and want to harm her. As for those who like her, they are all lucky. Look, Su Rong's leg that had been lame for many years has been healed, and he has also obtained the title of Earl of Yongding. As for Xiao Heng, he has recognized his ancestors and is now the eldest grandson of the emperor."
This jinx, does he use the broom differently
Qi was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, Qi Yunxi had changed the subject: "Where's Xian'er? Does she like the gift I gave her?"
"How can I not like it?" Qi showed a nostalgic look: "Even if this thing was placed in the royal family, it would be a good thing. There is no girl who doesn't like it. It's just..."
She squatted down and held Qi Yunxi's hand: "Aunt, we are in this situation now, how can we still show off such things? If someone recognizes us..."
Qi Yunxi sneered, "There are so many things from the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it's not just the remnants of the previous dynasty who have them. How many ministers and nobles have these things in their homes? Let alone other things, those nobles who followed Emperor Yuanfeng into the capital city did a lot of searching for things in the palace and the royal palace. I know these things can be used when I give them to you, so you can give them to Xian'er without worry. This has already made Xian'er suffer. If they were kept when our family hadn't been in trouble, what would these things count for? Even Xianning and Yunzhang now are not as noble as Xian'er, so why can't she use them?"
Qi was shocked and couldn't help shouting, "Aunt!"
She had known Qi Yunxi's ambition for a long time, but she was still worried about it.
Once people get used to a stable and good life, it is difficult for them to agree with risky behavior.
Qi is like this. Of course, she misses the past and can't help feeling resentful and jealous, but compared with the safety and future of her children, those things she has lost seem so long ago.
She held Qi Yunxi's hand nervously. Seeing Qi Yunxi frowning and looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a jump in her heart. She avoided her gaze and lowered her voice, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
"If you're still worried about what you said about walls having ears, then you're too incompetent!" Qi Yunxi brushed her away.
Qi felt bitter in her heart. After being brushed away, she stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve and shook it: "Aunt, what do you think we should do next? I heard from my master that my father-in-law has been very upset recently. Now that Prince Fenyang is dead, will there be any more trouble?"
Emperor Yuanfeng was furious about the death of Prince Fenyang, and had ordered Gao Ning and the Dali Temple to work together with the Censorate to conduct a strict investigation. Now the suspect Chen Dongdu is still detained in the Ministry of Justice.
The matter became more and more serious. There were many memorials in the court impeaching the emperor's eldest grandson, all saying that he had instructed Chen Dong to harm Prince Fenyang.
There were many different opinions, and the situation became more and more serious, which made Qi more frightened.
She lowered her eyes and said after a long while: "Aunt, what are you going to do? If... "
"No ifs." Qi Yunxi pried open her fingers coldly: "We are now surnamed Qi, but don't forget what our origins were! The dog emperor seized the throne, and rivers of blood flowed. Have you forgotten how miserable our family was?"
Of course I can't forget it. Qi felt bitter in her heart: "My niece dare not..."
She sighed: "Aunt, what did my father-in-law say?"
"Of course he hopes to put me off, but how can such a good thing happen in this world?" Qi Yunxi sat up straight, his hands were already warm by now: "Xiao Heng, this bastard, I hoped he would die when he was still Song Heng. Now he is the child of the prince and Song Ange, so he deserves to die even more."
She came back to Beijing this time just to do this. "No ifs." Qi Yunxi pried open her fingers coldly: "We are now surnamed Qi, but don't forget what our origins were! The dog emperor seized the throne, and the blood flowed like a river. Have you forgotten how miserable our family was?"
Of course I can't forget it. Qi felt bitter in her heart: "My niece dare not..."
She sighed: "Aunt, what did my father-in-law say?"
