Lin Qinshuang lived in the Duke's Mansion. Fortunately, the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion was large enough, and she was the eldest daughter of the mansion, with an unusual status, and would come to live for a while during the holidays, so Lin Qinshuang's The yard is still reserved for her, and after the servants clean it, she can live in it directly.
Lin Qinshuang had already seen through the separation from Qi Yuanhang, so she wasn't very sad. Do you want to say that Lin Qinshuang loves Qi Yuanhang? It was love, of course, but this love had been wiped out in the nearly four months since Qi Wang came back.
Lin Qinshuang loves the child Qi Wang very much, and because of her own mistakes that have caused the child to work so hard for so many years, she wants to make up for him and bring the best in the world to him.
A large part of the mother's feelings for the child originally came from the process of conceiving the blood, because the child was born by herself, so she will give him full love.
At the beginning, because of her carelessness, she gave this love wrongly. After knowing the truth, she only wanted to make up for her child better. As for the child she loved wrongly, the only thing she could do was not to It is no longer possible to hate each other and love him as much as before.
Lin Qinshuang couldn't understand the thoughts of Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo, and she also didn't understand why the two of them insisted on taking a fancy to a person who had no blood relationship with them.
Are they reluctant to part with the two decades of love they have given, or the person Qi Xun
But all of this has nothing to do with Lin Qinshuang. She has made a choice, and now she just feels relaxed.
There is no need for the child she owed for twenty years to compromise, and there is no need to wrong herself in order to gain the affection of those people. She can give him love with all her heart.
Nanny Zhang originally wanted to persuade Lin Qinshuang, but seeing her stubborn expression, she couldn't say what she originally wanted to persuade.
Forget it, ma'am, she is no longer a child, she can be a grandmother, how can she not know what her choice means
On the other side, Mrs. Guo was so anxious because of her daughter's words that she was sweating profusely. In her opinion, her daughter was acting out of her temper and disregarding the overall situation. What can't this old couple say directly? Do you have to make things so ugly
These two people are almost a hundred years old together, and the grandchildren in the family are all born. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to make a reconciliation at this time
Lin Guogong was not as anxious as his wife. Seeing that his wife seemed to be complaining that his daughter was too capricious, Lin Guogong even stopped her from saying those hurtful words.
"Shuang'er is our own daughter. She was brought up by you. Don't you know what kind of character she is? This time, the father and son of the Qi family really hurt her heart, otherwise she would be Not so."
However, Mrs. Guo still has a face full of disapproval: "Even so, can't you say something well? If you insist on making trouble like this, look at how she is going home in a fit of anger. She He even brought back all his dowry, so he obviously doesn't want to go back."
Compared with the previous dynasties, the confinement of women in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not so strict. It is quite normal for women to remarry when they leave home.
If, as in the previous dynasty, women's status was low, and reconciliation would embarrass the family, then Qin Shangshu and Mrs. Qin would not think about letting Qin Yanran go home after giving birth.
Although the imperial court also has a law that a girl needs to marry at the age of eighteen, but similarly, as long as she pays the single tax, it is also possible not to marry. go down.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, not only men could divorce their wives, but also women could divorce their husbands.
But Lin Qinshuang's situation is a bit different. She is already a grandmother at this age, and strictly speaking, this incident is not a principled error. If Lin Qinshuang is willing to turn a blind eye , this matter is overturned.
But who would have thought that Lin Qinshuang, who has always been gentle, considerate and easy-going, would be so stubborn in wanting to reconcile
It's just that the Duke and Mrs. Guo couldn't tell anything, the person who untied the bell had to tie it, and everything had to wait for Qi Yuanhang to come.
Qi Yuanhang actually thinks that this matter has turned the page, after all, he also beat up Qi Nuo severely, and ordered Qi Nuo, who was covered in injuries, to go to the yamen to have a massage. With a dying body, he limped to work in the Yamen.
My own attitude has already shown, not to mention that this is not a big deal for them, they just let go and be a favor, and when the time comes, send Qi Xun far away and never let him return to the capital for the rest of his life. Even if it is the end.
His wife has always been gentle, and before the truth was revealed, she loved Qi Xun's child very much, so everything will be fine.
At least both Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo think so.
However, the reality gave the arrogant and arrogant father and son a severe slap.
When they came home from get off work, they learned from the servants that when they left home in the morning, Lin Qinshuang packed up the dowry and went home.
Xu Chengjun went to the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion after Qi Nuo left in the morning, so she didn't know about it. When she came back at night, she was as shocked as the two men in the Qi family.
How could it be like this? It's such a big deal, why is it so
It's just that at this moment, the most sad and unacceptable person is Qi Yuanhang, no matter whether it is Qi Nuo who is the son or Xu Chengjun who is the daughter-in-law, it is difficult to say anything.
Not long after they came back, the servants of the Duke's Mansion came to invite Qi Yuanhang to discuss matters. Qi Yuanhang didn't even change his official uniform, so he hurriedly followed those people into the carriage.
The people who met Qi Yuanhang were Lin Guogong and his wife.
Don't look at Mrs. Guo, she still complains about Lin Qingshuang behind her back, thinking that he has gone too far. But in front of Qi Yuanhang's son-in-law, Mrs. Guo didn't give him any face.
"Bo Xiu, you are now the prime minister, and the theory is that I, a mother-in-law, shouldn't say anything about you, but what you did this time is too much..."
The Duke's wife reprimanded Qi Yuanhang severely, saying that he was sorry for Lin Qinshuang, and tortured his good daughter into what she is now.
"My daughter is not given to you to be bullied by you. You two have spent half your life anyway. Can you not understand her temperament? Can't you just follow her? Don't say you have already followed her , if this is the case, why would Shuang'er come back to the Duke's mansion?"
Ever since Qi Yuanhang became the prime minister, he has never been reprimanded so harshly. His wife was very kind to him in the past and always spoke softly. This is the first time he has been so impatient with him, but he understands What happened this time was that I did not do it properly, so I lowered my head and let the Duke's wife reprimand me.
The Duke's wife is already soft-hearted, seeing him like this, it's hard to say anything about the next words.
Seeing Mrs. Guo's wife shut up, Lin Guogong said: "Bo Xiu, it's not easy for you to get to where you are today. That child Zigu is a fool. You, a father, can't be so foolish."
Lin Guogong and Mrs. Guogong's wife actually had the same idea. They both thought that the current Lin Qinshuang only lost her temper when she got angry, and she would be fine after she was coaxed.
But the key point is that Qi Yuanhang's attitude has to be shown.
"Actually, I don't need to tell you. You know what Shuang'er hates the most. Don't worry about that kid's affairs. You can do whatever he wants. The two of you are already worthy of him."
If it weren't for Qi Yuanhang and Lin Qinshuang, a peasant boy like Qi Xun would never have come to the capital, let alone take the imperial examination and become an official.
They never owed that kid, but what he owed them would never be repaid.
Qi Yuanhang, who knew he was wrong, had a very good attitude when facing the Duke and his wife. He repeatedly stated that he knew he was wrong, and after taking Lin Qinshuang back this time, he would definitely not talk to Qi Xun again.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I won't be confused anymore."
Not to mention the relationship between myself and Lin Qinshuang for so many years, but for the sake of my own face, I can't let Lin Qinshuang reconcile with me. If the two of them really reconcile, then his inner face will be afraid. It's about throwing it away.
Seeing that Qi Yuanhang had a good attitude, the Duke and his wife personally took him to the outside of Lin Qinshuang's courtyard, wanting to have a talk with the two of them.
The son lives to be one hundred years old, and the mother worries about ninety-nine. Parents always hope that their children will be well. They all think that the matter of Qi Yuanhang is not a big deal, and they can completely get the two of them together again.
However, Lin Qinshuang didn't even let Qi Yuanhang into the yard. She asked Nanny Zhang to come out and spread the word, saying that she had been heartbroken by Qi Yuanhang's repeated words and deeds.
She didn't allow Qi Yuanhang to enter the house, even the Duke and his wife helped to make peace.
The always gentle daughter has become so stubborn, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Qin Yuanhang stood outside the outer courtyard for a long time, he kept apologizing to Lin Qinshuang, and repeatedly assured that this was the last time, and that he would not make such stupid mistakes again from now on.
His attitude is extremely sincere, no matter who sees him like this, he may think that he is sincerely admitting his mistake.
A majestic prime minister, a high-ranking member of the court, was so submissive to his wife. Seeing him like this, everyone present felt that Qi Yuanhang had done enough, and Lin Qinshuang shouldn't continue to embarrass him like this.
However, no matter how others persuaded, Lin Qinshuang never let go, and finally even turned off the lights, as if refusing to communicate.
Qi Yuanhang returned without success.
However, he is a person who will not give up easily. He went to the Duke's Mansion the next day after get off work, and wanted to see Lin Qinshuang. However, Lin Qinshuang deliberately forced Qi Yuanhang and refused to see him. The spokesperson always acted as if no strangers were allowed to enter, and said bluntly that the young lady wanted to reconcile, if he refused, he would go to Jing Zhaoyin, and if she wrote a divorce letter, she could also get the marriage letter back.
Qi Yuanhang felt bitter, his wife was so stubborn, how could he persuade her
The Duke and Mrs. Guo persuaded and persuaded, talked and talked, but Lin Qinshuang remained unmoved. She only had one request, that is, to reconcile with Qi Yuanhang, and she didn't want to take care of other things. Be patient.
There is a saying that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Qi Yuanhang would go to the Duke’s Mansion every day after get off work. the capital.
Qi Yuanhang really wanted to hide this matter, but when Lin Qinshuang left the prime minister's mansion, there were more than 20 cars loaded with her dowry, so she didn't think about covering it up. What, many people saw it.
At the beginning, no one would have thought that Lin Qinshuang was going to reconcile with Qi Yuanhang. After all, both of them were so old, and Qi Yuanhang was the prime minister. No matter how confused Lin Qinshuang was, she couldn't give up. Yipin ordered his wife not to do it, and chose to leave Qi Yuanhang.
It's just that the mansion is big and there are many servants, there are always some people who can't control their mouths, and soon there is definite news from the Duke's mansion, which confirms that Lin Qinshuang is going to reconcile with Qi Yuanhang .
"Have you heard? It's really new that the first lady of the Duke's Mansion wants to reconcile with the current prime minister."
"I've only heard of young couples reconciling. Both of them are married and have children. How could they reconcile?"
"You don't understand that, do you? I have a relative who works in the prime minister's mansion, and he knows what's going on."
Seeing what this person said, other people became interested and rushed forward to ask what was going on.
The man kept quiet for a while, and only after everyone's appetite had been whetted, did he tell what he knew.
"You all know about the real and fake young masters in the prime minister's mansion, don't you? At that time, Prime Minister Qi immediately severed ties with that fake young master, but in private, he couldn't bear to part with that fake son at all. Knowing that your fake son's wife was killed by the family People took it away, so wouldn't you be anxious to get angry?"
"I know this. A few days ago, I saw Madam Dingyuan Hou go to the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I think it was to make peace..."
"Why does this involve Mrs. Dingyuanhou again?"
"Hey, you don't know that, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou is the mother-in-law of Prime Minister Qi's eldest son. It's not easy for Prime Minister Qi to come forward, so it's normal for his in-laws to come forward to help."
"One more thing. About five or six days ago, when I was selling vegetables on the street, I saw that real young master came out of the prime minister's mansion carrying a bag. It looked like he was kicked out."
"Really? Are these people in the prime minister's mansion crazy? Don't want a real young master, but a fake without blood relationship?"
"What's so strange about this? To put it bluntly, it's because of interests. The real young master grew up in the countryside and didn't know a single word. The fake young master has been raised in the prime minister's mansion. He passed the imperial examination before and became an official. Not to mention how outstanding he is. Then the real young master is much better, if you don't like the useless real young master, what's the problem if you like the fake one?"
"That's not what you said. The real young master is from Prime Minister Qi's blood. Which person doesn't hurt a serious blood, so go hurt a fake?"
In this era of lack of entertainment, a little bit of gossip can spread throughout the city.
There are a lot of smart people in the world, and the truth has been pieced together.
Everyone judged through various clues and synthesized all known clues, and almost deduced the truth.
Presumably, Prime Minister Qi and Young Master Qi valued the fake young master more, even before the fake young master wronged the real young master, the prime minister's wife couldn't bear the grievance, and in a moment of anger, she chose to make peace with the prime minister.
Even the Son of Heaven couldn't stop everyone talking, let alone the Prime Minister. The news quickly spread throughout the capital and fell into the ears of various officials.
Qi Yuanhang did not speak his mind in court, he still had many political opponents, and this incident was like a bright and huge handle, which was sent to the hands of those political opponents.
Disputes in the court are no easier than on the battlefield. Those winds, frosts and swords are invisible and intangible. In the past, Qi Yuanhang's faction could be said to be a piece of iron, but now because of this incident, they were torn apart by their political opponents.
Qi Yuanhang was tortured to the core.
