Lord Qi stood up in fear and trepidation, then walked to the door to convey the message.
On the other hand, when Bai Chen heard that someone from the eldest son's in-laws had come, he understood.
From now on, Ji Jiuyue and his adopted child will have a backer, and the Tan family is their backer.
Although the adopted child does not have much blood relationship with the eldest son, he still has that status.
Bai Chen made Qin's evil deeds public, not only to bring disgrace upon her, but also to attract the eldest son's in-laws to intervene.
After all, it is impossible for me to stay in this world forever.
The real Ji Jiuyue is actually just an ordinary woman. If she has no one to rely on, even if she adopts a son, her life in the Qi family will not be stable.
The Qi family's children will surely resort to the same old tricks again. From their condescending looks, one can tell the outcome.
In their eyes, Ji Jiuyue's stay in the Marquis' Mansion was a complete eyesore.
His mission was to deal with the Qin family. The three children of the Qi family were not his targets, so for now, he had no plans to deal with them.
But I don't have such plans for the time being. If they take the initiative, I certainly won't be polite.
After Bai Chen simply put on her makeup, she brought two maids, Huamei and Huazhi, to the meeting room in the outer courtyard of the Qi family. The two maids stayed outside the door.
There was no servant in the entire meeting room. There were only three people in the huge space.
The Marquis of Qi sat in the main seat at the top, his face looking haggard and even old.
Although Bai Chen lowered his head slightly, he had actually taken a clear look at him.
After just a dozen days, his hair seemed to have turned half white, and his face had many more wrinkles, making him look like a man in his fifties.
He no longer has the handsome and elegant demeanor that I first saw.
To be honest, Bai Chen was a little surprised to see Lord Qi like this.
It seems that he has a lot of problems in his heart! He seems to be burdened with a lot of things!
It turned out that he did not care at all about the fact that his eldest son was drugged and murdered by his own wife.
A middle-aged couple was sitting in the guest seat.
The middle-aged man had a dignified look, with strong and handsome features, burning eyes, slightly furrowed brows, and was very tall. Even when he was sitting, one could feel his upright posture.
And if you look closely, he seems to be a martial artist.
A middle-aged woman with a pretty face, a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, fair skin, and an easy-going look. As she looked at Bai Chen, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
These two people are the heads of the Nanguo Mansion, the Duke and the Duchess.
Bai Chen approached them and bowed to them, calling out crisply, "Uncle, Aunt."
Bao stood up and took a step forward, helped Bai Chen up, looked at him carefully, nodded and said, "Oh, this child is quite good-looking."
She originally thought she would see a dark-faced, ordinary-looking woman.
But what surprised her was that this woman was very pretty, with a good figure and decent manners. Such a woman was a suitable match for Xuan Ge'er.
Bai Chen lowered his head slightly, looking very embarrassed, "Aunt, thank you for your compliment."
"Good girl." Bao took Bai Chen's hand in a familiar manner and let her sit on the chair next to her.
She also took out a purse, and took out a pair of crystal clear emerald green jade bracelets from it and placed them in Bai Chen's palm.
At first glance, this jade bracelet is made of top-grade jade without any impurities.
Compared with what Qin gave, it is many levels higher.
"A gift for meeting you. Wear it well."
Bai Chen's face turned red, and he looked very embarrassed. "Aunt, no, that's not necessary."
"How can I delay paying for something given by my elders?" Bao pretended to be angry.
"Thank you, aunt." Bai Chen's little face became even redder, and she looked very beautiful.
Seeing this, Bao secretly sighed, such a pretty girl, her husband is gone before he even arrives.
She was still a virgin, but she became a widow.
It's so pitiful.
Lord Tan beside him also took out a large purse and handed it to Bai Chen, "Nephew's wife, keep it."
"Thank you, uncle." Bai Chen did not delay any longer and took the purse.
In this way, the relationship between relatives has been established.
The purse was very heavy and looked like it had been prepared long ago. It was completely different from the treatment he received when he served tea to Lord Qi and Qin.
Lord Qi felt awkward watching from the side, because when his daughter-in-law served him tea that day, he had completely forgotten about giving a gift.
Only when he was reminded did he give him a very insincere gold ingot.
By comparing the two, it is clear who is closer and who is distant.
"You are Xuan'er's wife, which means you are the nephew's wife of the Tan family. Let's see who dares to bully you." While Bao was speaking, her eyes were fixed on Lord Qi.
Lord Qi was depressed again. Who would dare to bully her in the future? Her backing was stronger than anyone else's.
Bai Chen was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He whispered, "Thank you, auntie, thank you, uncle. No, no one bullied me."
Bai Chen's aunt's words touched his heart!
There is no one in the Qi family who does not want to expel Ji Jiuyue from the Marquis' Mansion.
I even wish she disappeared from this world.
But Ji Jiuyue’s goal is to gain a foothold in the Marquis’ Mansion and fight for a place in the mansion!
Not just for a moment, but for a lifetime.
How could it be that easy for a country girl with no roots
But with the support of the Duke of Nanguo's Mansion, even if she completed her mission and left, these so-called nobles who only wanted wealth and status would have to think twice before bullying her and her mother.
Bao snorted softly, her eyes never leaving the particularly embarrassed face of Marquis Qi.
“No one has bullied you yet!
He was almost framed as a thief, yet he still said he didn't do anything.
In the future, if such incidents happen again, just send someone to the Duke's Mansion, and not only will your uncle support you.
Your second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle will also support you, understand?"
The eldest son's maternal family, that is, the Duke of Nanguo's Mansion, was particularly prosperous. His maternal grandfather had one wife and five concubines, and had a total of eight sons and six daughters.
The Duke is the eldest son’s uncle. The eldest son’s mother is the sixth child in the Tan family, but the eldest among the daughters.
The eldest and the sixth are only three years apart in age.
There is a reason why the eldest son's mother was particularly favored when she was in the Tan family.
After my grandfather had five sons in a row, he finally had a daughter. How could he not dote on her
In addition, this precious girl is lovable and attractive to everyone, and she has a very likable personality, which makes people love her even more.
I heard from the eldest son that when his mother was little, her grandfather always held her in his arms and he was reluctant to let her go.
Sometimes, even when I was writing, I would write with one hand and hold her with the other.
His sons never enjoyed such treatment.
The five daughters who were born later, both legitimate and illegitimate, lived well, but were far less favored than the eldest son's mother.
It seems that none of the eldest son's uncles are born with bad habits, and all of them have quite good abilities.
My uncles held important positions in the court and the military.
As for the Qi family, except for the Marquis Qi who has outstanding abilities, the other brothers are mediocre.
Comparing the two families, the strength of the Tan family is many times higher than that of the Qi family.
Therefore, the Pingchang Marquis Mansion, which had been on a downward trend, did not dare to offend the Nanguo Duke Mansion at all.
Both publicly and privately, the Qi family is inferior.
"Yes! Thank you, aunt." Bai Chen was very shy. He felt touched and sad. Tears welled up in his eyes. He looked aggrieved but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Bao sighed again in her heart. Such a simple girl, with a child in the future, if she had no one to rely on in the Marquis' Mansion, she might be bullied to death and no one would know.
Therefore, for the sake of Xuan Ge'er's incense, the Tan family must be her backer.
