Uncle Qi became anxious when he saw that his father had fainted from anger. God knows, this was the pillar of their Qi family.
"Dad, dad, wake up quickly, someone, go call the doctor."
Household heads like this all have doctors on their payroll, so that when emergencies occur, they can get timely treatment and the doctor will arrive quickly.
Then he woke up Elder Qi and shook his head: "The old man is old, so don't provoke him like this in the future."
After saying this, the doctor left. Uncle Qi sighed. They didn't want to make the old man angry, but the current situation was...
It's not something they can control. If they want to blame someone, they should blame the Gao family. They could have come back at any other time, but at this time. And when they came back, they confronted them so aggressively.
Thinking of this, Master Qi glared at Master Qi Er and said, "If you hadn't married the daughter of the Gao family, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
The second master of the Qi family was almost angry to death. His eldest brother was simply too much. However, the second master of the Qi family was still worried. What if his father thought the same way
And from the discussion just now, the second master of the Qi family already had a bad feeling. Could it be that his father was planning to give up on him
Let him go out and take the blame? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy the second master of the Qi family became. The Qi family was almost in internal strife, and on the other side, the ladies of the Gao family were already impatient.
When she heard about the dowry, the eldest lady of the Qi family did not show up at all. Why? Of course, it was because she felt guilty. The eldest lady of the Qi family was impatient to wait.
The consequences are very serious. Looking at the butler waiting on the side, he said, "Your master is really arrogant! He made us wait for so long!"
"Why, you know you can't see anyone, right? That's why you hide inside and don't dare to come out. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
Madam Gao is not a kind woman. She has also been to the battlefield when the situation at the border was tense. This shows how strong the women of the Gao family are.
The housekeeper was already under pressure from Madam Gao, and some of his voice was unclear: "Madam, please wait a moment. I have asked the servant to go and invite them."
"Wait a minute? What the hell? I've been waiting for half an hour. Your master doesn't want to come out, right? Someone, come and smash it for me!"
"Do you really think that I'm so easy to talk to? Do you think I can do nothing if you don't come out? I'm going to smash your Qi Mansion today!"
As he spoke, he actually started to work himself, knocking over the teapot and teacups on the ground. The second and third wives also started to work, their movements very skillful.
Apparently, this kind of thing may have happened quite a lot. The butler saw that the neatly arranged vases and even the screens were directly lifted up and thrown down by the third lady.
It fell to the ground with a loud crash. The housekeeper was heartbroken, but he didn't dare to step forward to stop it because the third wife of the Gao family was so strong.
He was frightened by her glare. Who knew if he tried to stop her, she would pick him up and throw him to the ground? The housekeeper could only pray silently in his heart.
The master is asked to come quickly, and someone with good sense has already gone to invite Lord Qi. When they arrived at Lord Qi's yard, they ran up quickly.
"Grandpa, the Gao family has started to smash things up. Almost everything in the hall has been smashed."
Everyone in the room was extremely angry. Lord Qi could no longer lie calmly on the bed and forced himself to get up.
"Are you still standing there? Why don't you go to the front and take a look? If you can't defeat the men of the Gao family, you can't even defeat the women, right?"
When the Qi family heard this, they realized that it was a good idea and thought, "Why should we be afraid of a few women? It's no big deal." They came to the front hall in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
But when I saw that the front hall had been completely smashed, and thought about all the good things placed in the front hall, it was simply outrageous!
"Gao family, you all stop it, this is simply too much. Who gave you the courage to come to my Qi family and act so presumptuously?"
Madam Gao saw Lord Qi coming out and immediately laughed: "Oh my, the coward has come out. I thought Lord Qi was going to stay at home until he died of old age!"
When the Second Master of the Qi Family heard this, he was also extremely angry. He looked at Qi Mengyao who was standing next to Madam Gao and said, "Qi Mengyao, do you still know that you believe in the above?"
"You actually brought outsiders to your own home to act so presumptuously?"
After all, the women of the Gao family look very scary, so it is better to pick on the weak ones. So the second master of the Qi family went to find his own daughter.
Qi Mengyao smiled and opened the corners of her mouth sarcastically: "Father, my aunt and the others are not outsiders. They really care about me."
"I never thought about my family before, but it turns out that it is like this. I don't regret being your daughter because of my mother, but I am ashamed to be your daughter."
When the second master of the Qi family heard this, he was almost angry to death: "How dare you, an unfilial daughter, talk to my father like this?"
Qi Mengyao's eyes were deep as she stared at the second master of the Qi family: "Dad, how do you want me to honor you? As a husband, you don't protect my mother."
"As a father, you would have pushed a daughter like me into the fire pit with your own hands, if it weren't for my grandfather's family suddenly returning to Beijing."
"I feel like I may never see them again in this lifetime. How can I honor you like this?"
Elder Qi looked at Qi Mengyao and said, "I didn't expect that after you got married, you would become so sharp-tongued."
Qi Mengyao didn't say anything, but Madam Gao took over and continued, "Sharp-tongued? What other charges do you want to accuse Yao'er of?"
"You are old, but you don't do your job. You just think about how to embarrass the younger generation. People say that evil will last for thousands of years. You are really an old man who will never die."
"Well, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm here because of my sister's pretending problem!"
"When my sister married into your Qi family, her dowry was a total of 128 sets, with all kinds of good things, but my sister only has one daughter, Mengyao."
"If my sister were still alive, I would keep half of the dowry. Now that my sister is gone, is the dowry ready? Give it to Mengyao."
"Besides, your Qi family is really shameful. The dowry you prepared for your daughter's marriage is all flashy and useless things? Who are you trying to get rid of with these things?"
"Or is your Qi family really so poor that you have to rely on your daughter-in-law's dowry to make a living? Come, come, come and see what dowry you give to your daughter when she gets married?"
"What the hell is this? One hundred and eight loads of cloth, sixty pieces of cloth, and they're not even good quality. This kind of family tradition of the Qi family is really rare."
"You need a generous dowry to marry a daughter-in-law, but my granddaughter only gives that much, and the rest is a bonus from your Qi family, right? It's not bad to make money from this."
"You can let your son take more concubines from merchants. Oh, and your Qi family's second master did the same thing. The culprit who was wrongly accused by you and angered my sister to death was the merchant's daughter."
"Now that she's dead, the other family is just merchants, so they wouldn't dare to come and ask for the dowry back! Tsk tsk tsk tsk! You Qi family are really good at tricks!"
Lord Qi covered his heart with his hands again, he was almost angry to death. If these words of Madam Gao were to get out, who would dare to marry into the Qi family in the future
Looking at Madam Gao, Elder Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Madam Gao, don't go too far!"
Madam Gao sneered: "Am I going too far? Elder Qi, if your Qi family doesn't hand over my sister's dowry today!"
"I will let you see for yourself what is truly excessive! If you don't believe me, you can try it and think that this is what is on the dowry list of my daughter Yaoer."
"But they have all been registered by the government. This means that these things exist, but they were embezzled by your family. Hand them all over to me."
"Don't say we hid good things. When we went to the Liu family to see the dowry, we specially brought the person who ascended the throne at that time. He can testify."
"So there is no possibility that we have wronged your Qi family. If the Qi family still has some shame, you'd better take it out yourself, otherwise I will go to the emperor to file a complaint."
"The Qi family killed someone and also embezzled the dowry. How can such people be qualified to be a minister? They are simply bringing shame to our Great Zhou!"
This was a more serious statement, and Lord Qi naturally understood that the Gao family would not be able to deceive the Qi family on such a matter, so this was truly a dowry carried out from the Qi Mansion.
The Liu family did not see the dowry list and thought that this was the dowry for Qi Mengyao. In fact, there was one more thing that others did not know.
That is, Qi Mengyao's dowry had been leaked as early as the wedding night. People thought that Mrs. Liu was a good person, but she had a bad habit of gossiping.
Although she did not look down on Qi Mengyao, she did look down on the Qi family. They were a small family, but their dowry was much more than Qi Mengyao's.
So in fact, this news has spread among the wives of officials, but the Qi family didn't know it. Elder Qi looked at the opened boxes.
All I saw were cloths. I walked over to look at those boxes without cloths and found that each box was filled with the same porcelain.
I still haven't colored it yet. Suddenly, I feel like my heart is about to stop! Who on earth did this? After thinking about it, there is no one else who could have done this except one person.
"Where's the Madam? Hurry up and bring her to me."
Speaking of Madam Qi, it's not that she didn't come out to greet us, but she was not at home. Madam Qi went to see Qi Chengyuan today.
But when she went to the other person's house, she was treated harshly, which made Mrs. Qi very angry and she left the house.
She even cursed, "Bah, do you really think your daughter is something? You actually refuse to marry my son!"
Several maids passing by glanced at Madam Qi with strange eyes, and one of them was so brave that he asked, "Isn't that the Madam of Qi's family?"
"Fortunately, the master and his wife did not agree. If our young lady had married into the Qi family, she would have been in trouble."
