The woman wore a emerald blue horse-faced skirt and a gold hairpin on her head. She had a serious face and looked like she was not to be trifled with.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked her mother-in-law directly: "Did you really see it? That little bitch dared to return to Beijing!"

The mother-in-law was respectful, but her tone was very firm: "My daughter-in-law has always been a responsible person. Madam, you know that. When she saw the little bitch being helped out of the carriage by Mr. Yi, she was stunned to see the person entering.

This Jin Yutang hurriedly ran back to report the news to the old slave, there will be no lies."

The lady took a deep breath, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison.

"Since the incident at Fanshan Temple, there has been no news about her. I thought she was dead a long time ago. I didn't think of a good way, and she actually hooked up with a man. I actually underestimated her."

Mrs. Qi is a step-in-law and has always been very strong. How can she tolerate the daughter of her first wife?

She regarded Qi Chuxin as a thorn in her side.

Which of the servants in the house is not a master who adapts to the wind and flatters him?

With her acquiescence, Qi Chuxin's life was not easy. Even the meals sent from the kitchen were clear and watery, with no minced meat visible.

She ruined this little hoof's marriage, ruined her reputation, and blew a lot of gossip in Mr. Qi's ears, and finally sent Qi Chuxin to Fanshan Temple.

However, Qi Chuxin came back unexpectedly.

He even fell in love with Yi Lin, the poorest member of the Qi family.

Who is Yi Lin?

He was extremely rich and had a friendship with the prince of the Duke's palace.

Madam Qi looked down on Qi Chuxin from the bottom of her heart, but now she seemed to be taking advantage of this little bitch.

Mr. Qi is a humble official. In these years, there is no hope of promotion, but the expenses in the house are increasing day by day. Mrs. Qi even subsidizes a lot of dowry.

However, her son was idle all day long, and the Qi family's life became increasingly difficult.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the majestic words "Jin Yu Tang" with flying dragons and phoenixes on the door plaque, and she felt a little dazed.

"If I had known she had such a good fortune, I would have offered her up even if I was disgusted."

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Although this eldest girl's beauty is unparalleled, how can the eldest master Yi not see any beauties? In other words, the picture is just a temporary novelty. This kind of beauty will not serve you for a long time. No matter how beautiful the eldest girl is, she is still a concubine.

, maybe Mr. Yi is tired of playing, and she can't even take the concubine."

Mrs. Qi felt comfortable hearing this.

Seeing that her face looked much better, the mother-in-law quickly added: "After all, she is also a member of our Qi family. How can it be wrong to promote our Qi family while she is about to have her first victory? Only the Qi family is better.

She has a backer behind her."

Mrs. Qi straightened her back: "Not bad."

"With just one word from the eldest son, I can hope for promotion. All I need is to mention it in front of my deceased son, Master Yi."

For the sake of the master and the Qi family, it was worth it for her to bow her head to Qi Chuxin.

——

In the Jinyu Hall, Ruan Zhen and Qi Chuxin declined the shopkeeper's invitation to follow them and looked at their heads together.

Ruan Zhen's mind was not on the jewelry, just because Qi Chuxin said something.

-I heard from Mr. Yi that the prince sent two women who were rewarded by the emperor to Mr. Qin and Mr. Chi.

Ruan Zhen was a little sad.

The two people from Qingzhuyuan were sent away, and there were fewer reasons for her to be deliberately angry in front of Gu Huaizhi.

Even, some principle is collapsing in my heart.

Regarding the issue of heirs, as long as Gu Huaizhi is born with a different girl, it seems that she can accept it if she is given some time.

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes and opened her mouth to speak when someone came towards them with a smile.

"I thought I was misunderstood. It's really you, kid." Mrs. Qi stepped forward enthusiastically, as if she wasn't the one who had bullied Qi Chuxin all these years.

The mother-in-law beside him followed suit and blessed her body: "The young lady looks much better than she did at home. I want to come to Fanshan Temple to be blessed by the Buddha and to be nourished by the mountains and rivers. Madam's good intentions are not in vain."

Ruan Zhen:......

She hasn't seen such a shameless person in a long time.

This mother-in-law's confusing words can be said to be white. She abandoned Qi Chuxin and threw him in Fanshan Temple, regardless of his life or death, but in her mouth, she was doing good for Qi Chuxin.

She stared at Mrs. Qi's face, as if she were seeing the most interesting clown.

Mrs. Qi wiped the non-existent tears at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"No, I have been thinking about you every day these days. If the virtuous monk hadn't said that you have a lingering ghost in your body and you need to purify your mind and rest your mind in front of the Buddha, how could I have been willing to send you away."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the two golden hairpins on Qi Chuxin's head.

Qi Chuxin looked disgusted.

She shrank towards Ruan Zhen. Little did she know that Mrs. Qi wanted to slap the autumn wind on her.

But after living under the shadow of Mrs. Qi for so many years, it would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

Ruan Zhen patted her hand to comfort her.

She knew very well that the Qi family would always know about Qi Chuxin's existence, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Mrs. Qi is dressed decently, but the style of clothes and jewelry are still the fashionable styles in Lin'an a few years ago.

Ruan Zhen looked calm and calm: "When Madam escorted her away, she said mercilessly that the Qi family should have such an unfulfilled daughter. Why, now she has a different face?"

"It's better not to say those deceptive things to avoid making yourself uncomfortable."

Mrs. Qi's smile froze, and she looked Ruan Zhen up and down.

He said in a deep voice: "This is the family affairs of our Qi family. It's better for you, an outsider, not to interfere."

Ruan Zhen seemed not to have heard of it, but she put the bracelet she had just chosen on Qi Chuxin's wrist.

Her voice was soft and soft, but the words she spoke made Mrs. Qi feel stuck in her throat.

"Mrs. Shicai's words can make the famous opera singers in Lin'an fall to their knees. You are a step-brother who cannot be tolerated by others. It is already despicable. Such a big thing happened in Fanshan Temple, but the Qi family ignored it.

Now that you can speak such affectionate words in a high-sounding way, don’t you feel guilty?”

Ruan Zhen's words caused the women around her to look over and stare at Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi felt uncomfortable being looked at: "You!"

Ruan Zhen smiled, but there was a sense of alienation in her smile: "I have never been interested in her in the past, and I don't want to suck a mouthful of her blood now."

As she said that, she raised her eyes with an innocent look on her face, but it made Mrs. Qi tremble.

"Yi Lin is not someone to be trifled with, and I won't allow you to act arrogantly here. After all, the consequences are not something that my wife can bear."

She sighed softly and said quietly: "Be careful, it will bring disaster to the whole family."

The man on the second floor stared at the scene downstairs in trance. Dreams and reality overlapped, making it almost impossible for him to distinguish.

But what is undeniable is that the arrogance of smashing the jade screen in the dream was given by the General's Mansion, and now Ruan Zhen's confidence to stand up for Qi Chuxin's injustice was given by him.

Yi Lin, who was about to fight:...

He clicked his tongue: "Sister Ruan usually speaks softly. I thought you were marrying a fragile and delicate flower, but I never thought that it still has thorns on it."

Gu Huaizhi's eyes flashed with a look that Yi Lin couldn't understand, and he whispered.
