I don’t know. I don’t know anything.
Qi Yunxi looked at her with impatience, his face clouded with gloom.
Recently, everything has gone wrong, and she is already very upset. But her family members are always causing trouble. She closed her eyes, took a breath, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you know?"
The aunt and niece have been dependent on each other for many years. Seeing Qi Yunxi's tone, Qi knew that she was furious. She bit her lip and shook her head with a pale face: "Aunt, I really don't know... After you took me away, I fell ill. When I recovered, you had already entered the palace... I, I thought that what happened back then would never be mentioned again. Besides, after so many years..."
The environment she lived in was so different from that of the people in Shenjia Village that it was no exaggeration to say that there was an incalculable gap between them. How could she have imagined that a corpse would suddenly appear this year
It can't be Qi Ru appearing in person
Qi's mind was in a mess. When she thought of this, she shivered with her hands folded, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
The more Qi Yunxi saw her like this, the angrier he got. After asking a lot of questions, it was all in vain. He could no longer bear it, so he reached out and poked her forehead hard, rebuking her with a look of disapproval: "You are really worse than a teenager!"
Even Xu Yuanbo is much more useful than her when encountering problems.
Mr. Bai saw that the more she scolded, the paler Qi's face became. He was worried that something might happen again, so he coughed at the right time. When he saw that both the aunt and nephew were looking at him, he smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Now is not the time to blame each other. If something goes wrong, just solve it."
It's simple to say.
Qi Yunxi finally glared at Qi, and then said unhappily: "It's easy to say, how do you solve it?!"
Originally, I could have evaded the issue and ignored it, but Qi herself was not up to the task and reacted so violently. You, Zhang Tuiguan, are not a fool, how could you not guess that this matter is related to Qi
Mr. Bai still sat calmly, staring at Qi rationally and calmly and asked, "Grandma, besides that goddess, was there anyone else who saw you back then?"
Before Qi could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Qi Yunxi had a headache and said in a bad tone, "Who is it?!"
The tone of the steward Tian outside became more cautious: "Madam, sir, it's... it's Master Xu who is here."
Xu Chong received the news after he returned home. When he heard that something had happened here, he hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, Qi ran into his arms with tears in her eyes and cried in grievance.
They had been married for many years, and Xu Chong had always been devoted to his wife, without even a concubine. Now that his wife was so frightened, Xu Chong suddenly felt pain and anger, and was furious. He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and tried to comfort her.
Although Qi Yunxi was angry, he finally felt a little comforted when he saw how close the two of them were.
No matter what, the only ones left in the Li family are her and her niece, and she always hopes that her niece lives a good life.
Mr. Bai also had a smile in his eyes. He looked at Xu Chong comforting Qi and whispered to Qi Yunxi: "Forget it. In fact, the most crucial thing about this matter is the attitude of the Xu family. You see, now that my aunt has given birth to children for the Xu family and has established a firm foothold in the Xu family, can't you see how Mr. Xu feels about my aunt? With this, everything else is not so important."
Qi Yunxi felt better after hearing what he said, so he simply winked at Mr. Bai, and the two of them went out together.
Only Xu Chong and his wife were left in the room. Qi couldn't stop crying any longer. She grabbed Xu Chong's sleeves and cried, "Master, it's all my fault that you got involved. It's all my fault that you got involved..."
Xu Chong knew that his wife was timid by nature, and after being frightened, she couldn't bear it any more, so he sighed patiently: "This is none of your business. Who knew that fool was so reckless? If he met someone who knew the rules, he should have restrained himself a little. But he bumped into me without caring. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any injustice."
Qi was terrified: "But... if the father-in-law knew..."
Xu Shun was not as satisfied with her as Xu Chong was.
And recently there seemed to be some problems between her father-in-law and her aunt, and there were constant frictions.
Xu Chong pursed his lips, held Qi's hand and promised firmly: "No, father won't say anything. When I married you, I got father's permission. Your life experience is not hidden from him. What reason does he have to object?"
Xu Shun did not learn about this until the evening. He had just returned from the cabinet meeting and had not even had time to sit down and drink a sip of tea when he heard about this. He immediately frowned in anger.
He had just overthrown Lord Sun, forced him out of the cabinet, and slapped Yang Bo hard. Now was the most critical moment. If someone caught him, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and his current wealth would be like castles in the air and would be shaky.
He didn't have that much sentimentality, so he immediately called Xu Chong and Grandma Xu, who had already returned to the mansion, to the study, along with Qi who had come over. He glanced around at everyone calmly before asking, "What's going on?!"
Qi was most afraid of Xu Shun, but at this moment, she couldn't hide it. She whispered about Zhang Tuiguan's visit, and then said, "Because he suddenly mentioned the matter of Shenjia Village, my daughter-in-law panicked for a while..."
Xu Shun frowned.
Seeing this, Qi Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Ci Fu, now is not the time to be angry. How to solve this matter is the most important thing."
Getting angry was naturally the most pointless action. Xu Shun snorted calmly, "Aren't you all powerful and omnipotent? How could you leave such a big loophole?"
"Could it be possible to massacre the whole village?" Qi Yunxi was stunned after she finished speaking. To be honest, if Qi had told her truthfully at that time that someone in Shenjia Village had seen her and Qi Ru, she might really have thought of massacring the whole village. After all, it was a time of war and chaos, and even if they wanted to wipe out the whole village, they could put the blame on the war between the two sides.
She shook her head in annoyance, stroking a white jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers. After thinking for a while, she said, "We must not let this matter leak out. That magistrate..."
Seeing that Qi was so frightened that her face turned pale, Xu Chong quickly took over the conversation: "You can't stay!"
Xu Shun glared at him fiercely, hating his useless son deeply for being bewitched by a woman and being taken advantage of by her all these years.
But now that things have come to this, it is just as Xu Chong said, this Zhang Tui Guan cannot be kept no matter what.
