Qi Jiao knew that the matter was of great importance and that she could not offend Qi Wan for the time being, so she invited her aunt and two cousins to the outdoor corridor, where they talked to each other for a long time.
Qi Jiao said softly: "Aunt, please bear with me for now. My mother said that she has something important to do first..."
Qi Yuehua had a round face that was stern and serious. The fat on his face drooped, making his eyes, which were already small to begin with, narrowed into a slit. He looked very sharp and looked like a ruthless person who came to collect debts.
Zheng had never encountered such a thing before, and she was extremely uneasy. She asked Qi Wan in a low voice, "What are they planning outside?"
Qi Wan said, "Sister-in-law, you see, they will change their attitude and show goodwill later."
Zheng looked at Qi Wan, her almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion.
Qi Yuehua obviously came here to help her mother and cause trouble, so how could she possibly show goodwill?
The old lady was in charge of the household. Qi Yuehua came back every few days to eat and drink, just like she had never been married, and she kept all the servants in the Qi mansion running around in circles.
The old lady lost her power as the head of the household. Qi Yuehua felt as if her heart was dug out and as angry as if her property had been stolen.
She ran back and made a scene upon hearing the news, just to help the old lady seize power in the household, so that she could continue to reap the benefits in the Qi Mansion and act tyrannically in the rear house.
But she had no idea that she would beat, scold, cry, and try to commit suicide... She had only used one of her eighteen brutal methods - a tantrum in the Senate to establish her authority, and Qi Wan came and dealt her a miserable blow.
Zheng quietly asked her sister-in-law, "Ah Wan, have you practiced Kung Fu? How come you are so strong?"
"My grandfather taught me." Qi Wan said vaguely.
She looked at Qi Yuehua outside and thought to herself: It seems that Qi Yuehua is also involved and wants to plot against the first and second houses.
Qi Yuehua was the daughter of Da Ding.
His appearance and personality are similar to Da Ding.
When she got married, she was still pretty and had elegant manners.
After getting married, her personality changed drastically. She became rude and violent, and would make a scene or even hit people if they disagreed with her.
Although Qi Yuehua was born in the General's Mansion, she was born to the second wife.
Therefore, she had no chance to marry into a wealthy family and could only marry back into her uncle Ding's family.
But she herself fell in love with the handsome fifth-rank imperial physician Yuan. "The imperial physician is good. He has medical skills and can cure diseases."
Her wish came true, and after being married for many years, she only gave birth to two daughters.
Seeing that she was unable to have children, the old lady of the Yuan family arranged for her son to take two concubines.
Qi Yuehua caused a huge commotion at the Yuan family, and even beat and scolded Old Madam Yuan, "You damned old bitch..."
Da Ding and Xiao Ding also went to Yuan's house and made a big fuss.
Under pressure from the General's Mansion, the Yuan family did not dare to divorce his wife.
The old lady of the Yuan family had no choice but to give in. "After the son is born, the mother will be gone, leaving the son behind."
Since then, the relationship between the couple has deteriorated to the extreme.
Doctor Yuan never entered Qi Yuehua's room again.
The eldest daughter, Yuan Zhaodi, was fifteen years old. She wanted her daughter to marry into a wealthy family, but Qi Yuehua had a reputation for being a tough girl, and it was difficult to find a marriage partner for her even from a slightly higher-class family, let alone a wealthy and powerful family.
She was particularly attentive to her third sister-in-law and wanted to marry her eldest daughter to Qi You and bring her back to the Qi family.
Qi Jiao advised, "Aunt, my mother said that when the matter is settled, my brother will marry my eldest cousin."
"Okay." Qi Yuehua finally listened to the advice.
She returned to the hall and sat down again, still with a stern face and no smile.
Her eldest daughter, Yuan Zhaodi, walked in with a smile, and brought her younger sister, Yuan Pandi, to stand in front of Pei and bowed, "Aunt, we sisters apologize to you."
Yuan Pandi laughed and said, "Aunt, I didn't explain it clearly. I misunderstood. Haha."
Pei smiled and said, "You are guests, and you are younger than me. How can I, as an elder, care about it?"
Qi Yuehua clenched her teeth, and her triangular eyes were filled with hatred again.
She is clearly the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, so why does she become an outsider once she gets married?
"I am the master of the Qi family!" She moved her mouth but did not say it out loud.
She always believed that her surname was Qi and she was the master of the Qi family.
Why should those people from other families become the masters of the Qi Mansion?
But she said this at the Yuan family: "I am marrying into your Yuan family. I have to hand over the housekeeping power. I must be the head of this family."
"The married women of your Yuan family are like spilled water. Except for a few festivals, they are not allowed to come back without invitation."
Qi Yuehua treated the nuns of the Yuan family rudely and mercilessly.
When she heard that her eldest sister-in-law treated the three of them as guests, she became furious and stared at her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Pei, as if she wished she could glare her to death.
The two sisters of the Yuan family showed their goodwill to Qi Wan again, "Cousin, you won't be angry, will you? When we sisters were at home, we thought about playing with you every day."
Qi Wan raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.
Miss Yuan looks like her father, with fair and smooth skin, a pair of narrow eyes that narrow into a line when she smiles, and a small red mole on the left side of her nose. Her smile is gentle and sincere.
Qi Wan recalled her previous life, when she was imprisoned in the Buddhist temple in the imperial palace, and Imperial Physician Yuan had secretly asked Wu Yi to send her silver and pills many times.
She must repay Doctor Yuan for his timely help in this life.
Qi Wan smiled at Miss Yuan.
I thought to myself: When cousin Yuan gets married, I will give her a generous gift.
She shifted her gaze to Yuan Pandi again.
Miss Yuan's mother, Xiao, had a round face and a big mouth. She pouted her lips and held her head high. Even her arrogant expression was the same.
Qi Wan smiled and said, "There's nothing to be angry about."
Miss Yuan praised Qi Wan, "Cousin Qi's outfit is simple and elegant."
Miss Yuan Er nodded, "That's right, it looks better when worn this way. It was too ostentatious and too showy when worn that way before."
Qi Wan burst out laughing. What a twelve or thirteen year old child said basically came from his mother or servants.
Qi Yuehua's sinister eyes moved to Qi Wan again.
She saw a ruby hairpin on Qi Wan's head. The gems on it were as big as fingernails and sparkled so brightly that she felt jealous.
All her jewelry combined were not as valuable as her eldest niece's hairpin.
What can she do? Her mother's dowry was small, and hers was even smaller.
My eldest niece's grandmother and mother are both from the prominent Pei family and have received large dowries.
The most hateful thing is that the eldest son has only one legitimate daughter.
Although the second branch had two legitimate daughters, the wife he married was the youngest daughter of the prominent Cui family, and her dowry was larger than that of the eldest branch.
The second elder brother, Qi Xiang, was the governor of Guangzhou. He was doing overseas business for the imperial court and was so rich that he used gold bowls, silver chopsticks and jade plates for his meals.
Qi Yuehua thought about the wealth of the first and second houses, and a burning anger of jealousy rushed to her head.
She wanted to get angry and teach her niece a lesson, but then she remembered that her wrist was still aching and purple, so she clenched her teeth.
She wanted to curse but couldn’t, she wanted to speak but didn’t dare, and Qi Yuehua felt a tight pain in her chest.
"Auntie, the Third Master invites you to Wufeng Courtyard." A maid came to invite.
Qi Yuehua jumped up, raised his head high, looked straight ahead, and rushed out with big strides.
The two daughters bowed and left, chasing after him.
After they left, Pei whispered to her daughter, "Ah Wan, you are the younger generation, don't hit your aunt in front of others, or people will think you are unruly and rude."
"Yes, mother." Qi Wan stood up and listened.
She said to herself: I won’t do it in front of people, I will do it behind their backs. This shrew, I want to make her suffer in my past and present life.
An hour later, Qi Yuehua ordered someone to harness the carriage and return to Yuan's mansion.
She left her two daughters in the third room and lived in Qi Jiao's house without even telling the mistress of the house.
She couldn't tolerate others doing things in the Yuan family, so she took it for granted to do them when she returned to her parents' home.
Pei asked her servants to load a cart with grain, meat and fruit as gifts, and sent several servants to escort Qi Yuehua back to her husband's home.
Zheng asked in confusion: "Mother, she treats you so well, why do you still give her so many gifts?"
Seeing that only the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter were in the room, Pei told the truth, "These things are not worth much. They are made for the Yuan family and outsiders to see."
"She treated us badly, that's her business, but we can't let rumors spread about us, it will affect the reputation of the first and second houses."
She also said: "Sending gifts is to let the Yuan family see that we value my aunt."
"Why?" Zheng really didn't understand. The Yuan family should be made to treat Qi Yuehua badly.
Pei raised her lips and whispered, "The Yuan family sees that our Qi family treats her badly. If they divorce her, will we take her back? At that time, she will be a hot potato."
Zheng suddenly realized, "My mother is really smart."
Qi Wan smiled, "Qi Yuehua still thinks my mother is stupid and is afraid of her."
Qi Yuehua commented on the eldest sister-in-law in this way, saying:
"So what if she is the daughter of a prominent family? She can't do anything to me. I can scold her if I want to, come back if I want to, and leave if I want to."
"If you make me angry, my mother will make my brother divorce his wife!"
Pei knew what Qi Yuehua said, of course. She didn't care. "What she said is her business. We just need to politely keep her out of the Qi Mansion."
