Qi Mengyi didn't expect that the person who stood up to speak was actually her own brother. She was immediately furious and looked at Qi Chengxiu: "Qi Chengxiu, are you mistaken? I am your biological sister."
"Can you please think before you speak? You are protecting her, but she is no longer a member of our Qi family. Why did you let her in? With such an unfilial daughter, I am afraid that even my second uncle will not be able to rest in peace after his death."
Qi Chengxiu didn't expect that he would speak, and he was unable to stop his sister from speaking. He snorted coldly: "I have seen through the true colors of many people today."
"Does it matter who my biological sister is? I am from the Second House now. I am the only master left in the Second House. My words represent the Second House. Now as a member of the Second House, can't I even ask someone to burn incense for my father?"
"Unfilial daughter? Who is an unfilial daughter? There are some things that we just need to understand clearly. Big sister, if you are here to worship my father, you are welcome to burn incense. If you are just here to bully others, you are welcome to burn incense.
"Please go out and return to your yard for a while."
Qi Mengyi was furious at what she heard. She looked at Qi Chengyuan and said, "Brother, look at me now. I am in such a bad situation. You are still the one who can make the decision in the first house. You have to do justice for me."
To be honest, Qi Chengxiu has grown up overnight. He had no choice, but this was his responsibility as the second wife, and he had to let a child bear it overnight.
It was indeed too cruel. Qi Mengyao also thought of this. She usually liked this younger brother very much. Now she couldn't bear to let this younger brother be troubled by others, so she burned incense.
Suddenly she knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the body of the second master of the Qi family: "Dad, rest in peace. I know what you told me to do."
"My daughter will do well."
Everyone was a little confused. Besides giving her a letter of severance, did the second master of the Qi family have anything else to do? Qi Mengyi wanted to say something, but she just watched Qi Mengyao ignoring her.
She felt aggrieved, but couldn't say anything. Qi Mengyao just said to Qi Chengxiu: "Xiu'er, you are grown up now and can take charge of the second house. You have to be good in the future."
Qi Chengxiu suddenly felt a little sad. It was because he couldn't understand what Qi Mengyao meant, but he was not really worried. If it were someone else, he might be worried.
The eldest wife of the Qi family wanted to kill him, but he was the biological son of the two people in the eldest wife of the Qi family. As the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. However, when they thought of Lord Qi, they were still a little worried.
That's why there was this reminder. Qi Chengxiu nodded solemnly: "I will, take care, second sister."
Qi Mengyao nodded, then looked at Li Ziqing, and left. After leaving the Qi family, Qi Mengyao returned to the Gao family, where Old Lady Gao had been waiting for Qi Mengyao to come back.
Seeing the red mark on Qi Mengyao's forehead, he frowned immediately: "Yao'er, did someone from the Qi family bully you?"
Qi Mengyao shook her head: "I'm fine, grandma, thank you. The Qi family didn't bully me. Qi Chengxiu, the second son of the Qi family's eldest branch, was adopted by the second branch. I don't have to worry about no one worshipping my father in the future."
Qi Mengyao felt a little depressed when she said this, and then she looked at Madam Gao and said, "Grandma, I want to go to the temple to pray for my father for two days, and come back on the day of the funeral."
Madam Gao was touched: "You are a filial child. Go ahead. I will send someone to inform you on the day of the funeral of the second son of the Qi family."
Qi Mengyao looked at Madam Gao and her eyes were red again: "My granddaughter also wants to place a spirit tablet for mom and dad in the temple. Mom likes dad so much, she will definitely be willing to be with him."
"Grandma, I don't believe that my father killed my mother. It must have been someone from the Qi family who killed my mother and forced my father to confess. They killed my father..."
Qi Mengyao finally couldn't help but speak out her thoughts, and threw herself into Madam Gao's arms and cried uncontrollably. Madam Gao was stunned for a moment, and then accepted this statement.
Because she also subconsciously didn't want to believe that her daughter was blind, she looked at Qi Mengyao: "Mengyao, do you have any evidence to say so?"
Qi Mengyao shook her head: "No, my father left me his secret power, which the Qi family doesn't know about. Grandma, my father didn't come out to take the blame willingly."
"It must be to protect me. I misunderstood my father before, and I want to avenge my parents. But now the Qi family is doing too well, and my father just wants me to live well."
"So they refused to give me the evidence and only gave me those as support for the future. But I must take revenge."
The old lady of the Qi family looked at Qi Mengyao and sighed in her heart. This child might be possessed by a demon. How could a family as big as the Qi family be destroyed unless it was a treason
But now it seems that the Qi family is plotting a rebellion. After a while, maybe the Qi family will really be destroyed. Looking at Qi Mengyao, "Mengyao, don't mess around. We will avenge your mother."
Qi Mengyao nodded: "I won't do anything rash, grandma, don't worry, I already have a way to take revenge. I will make sure that everyone in the Qi family will die a miserable death!"
"Grandma, I will leave for the temple now to settle my parents."
After Qi Mengyao left, the old lady of the Gao family told Mr. Gao everything she and Qi Mengyao had said. Mr. Gao sighed and said, "What Mengyao said might be true."
"But no matter whether it's true or not, let's just believe it for now! Perhaps only in this way will Mengyao feel better, and we will feel better too. We are just deceiving ourselves at the time!"
The Gao family fell silent. Well, this would make Qi Mengyao feel better, and they would accept it. Before Qi Mengyao went to the temple, she first went to the manor where the second master of the Qi family stayed.
The farm was not big. Qi Mengyao stood at the door. Soon someone came to open the door and looked at Qi Mengyao. "Are you a lady?"
Qi Mengyao nodded: "Is it Uncle Zhuang?"
The person who came to open the door looked at Qi Mengyao and said, "I will take you to see Uncle Zhuang."
Soon Qi Mengyao was brought to a middle-aged man, who was the owner of the manor and the person the Second Master of the Qi family trusted the most, and secretly the Second Master of the Qi family's most capable subordinate.
On the surface, the two of them were like strangers. When Qi Mengyao saw Uncle Zhuang, she said, "Uncle Zhuang."
Uncle Zhuang nodded: "Miss, you are here. I understand everything about the master. Don't worry, we will support you in the future, no matter what decision you make."
Qi Mengyao took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to take revenge. I will not let my parents die in vain. The Qi family owes my parents' lives, and they must be repaid with the lives of the Qi family."
The specific details of how the second master of the Qi family died were not told to anyone except Qi Chengxiu, so even Uncle Zhuang, his right-hand man, thought that the second master of the Qi family was wrongly accused.
No one believed that the second master of the Qi family killed his wife with his own hands. Even though the Qi family and the second master of the Qi family admitted it, there were still a few loyal people who were willing to deceive themselves.
When Uncle Zhuang heard Qi Mengyao's words, he felt comforted. If he really died voluntarily for the Qi family, then this power should be handed over to the Qi family.
How could it be handed over to Qi Mengyao? This is the reason and evidence that Qi Mengyao and Uncle Zhuang believe that the second master of the Qi family was forced to die: "Miss, go and do it. No matter what you do, we will support you in the future."
Qi Mengyao nodded, and after things here were settled, she took her maid to the temple. The reason why she chose this temple was because Zhuangzi was right here.
In order to make it convenient for someone to take care of it at any time, after arriving at the temple, Qi Mengyao donated money to set up spirit tablets for her parents, and then knelt in front of the tablets, as a way of showing filial piety to both of them.
Time passed in a flash, and it was two days later. Today was the day of the funeral of the second master of the Qi family. Early in the morning, Qi Mengyao, dressed in plain clothes, stood at the city gate.
Getting ready to see the second master of the Qi family off for the last time, for some unknown reason, Li Ziqing also came this time. Qi Mengyi was still wondering, but Li Ziqing was there.
Qi Mengyi naturally followed along. When she saw Qi Mengyao at the city gate, she couldn't help but walk up to her: "Qi Mengyao, why are you here again? You're really haunting me."
"You think we'll let you tag along?"
Qi Mengyao ignored Qi Mengyi, but the maid from the Gao family who was good at martial arts beside Qi Mengyao couldn't help but speak up: "Miss Qi, isn't what you said too funny?"
"The whole world belongs to the emperor. My lady, where to stand and which road to take, do you need your consent, Miss Qi? Do you think your Qi family is bigger than the royal family?"
Qi Mengyi's expression changed, and she looked at the maid beside Qi Mengyao: "What a sharp-tongued dog! I am talking to your master, and you have the right to interrupt?"
Qi Mengyao looked up at Qi Mengyi and said, "Qi Mengyi, today is the day of your second uncle's funeral, and you are still not quiet. You are so willful. It's true that the Qi family has no face left now."
"As for you, the young lady of the Qi family, your current reputation is probably not as good as that of a reasonable woman like me. I wonder if the Li family will regret it after knowing this?"
"These days, it's not uncommon for a wife to become a concubine. What's more, it's you who can't become the first wife. I'm afraid the Li family won't be blamed! If you're not afraid of this situation, just do it!"
Qi Mengyao raised her foot and followed the funeral procession. Qi Mengyi wanted to say something else when she heard Qi Mengyao's words: "If you really think that the Qi family is bigger than the royal family, why do you always block my way?"
"You can shout loudly and let others hear who is right, you or I."
Qi Mengyi was so overwhelmed by these words that she felt suffocated. Qi Mengyao also glanced at Li Ziqing, and the meaning in her eyes was incomprehensible.
But it was particularly attractive, and Li Ziqing's eyes were firmly fixed on Qi Mengyao.
