In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

This letter of appointment to serve as an official in Yangzhou is simply Qi Fu's life-saving talisman!

Now the Third Prince is seriously injured, and no one knows when he will recover. Whether their cooperation can continue has become a big question mark. If the Third Prince cannot achieve his wish, the Third House will be doomed.

In addition to what happened on East Mountain yesterday, the eldest branch must have noticed something and will definitely be on guard against the third branch.

As this goes, the Third House's days in the Qi Mansion will probably become more and more difficult.

The best option for the third family is to go to Yangzhou to temporarily avoid risks.

Qi Fu made a prompt decision: "Pack your things quickly, and our family will leave the capital and head to Yangzhou tomorrow."

Qi Jiao was awakened from her sleep, rubbing her eyes and pouting, "I'm not going to Yangzhou, I want to stay in the capital, the dresses here are beautiful, the jewelry is exquisite."

Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Silly daughter, Yangzhou is full of gold. When your father becomes an official and makes a fortune, what do you want?"

Qi Jiao took the opportunity to put forward a condition, "I want jeweled jewelry like Qi Wan's."

"No problem." Xiao Ding waved her hand, "Qi Wan has five sets, mother will make ten sets for you."

Qi Jiao smiled, got up, and instructed her servants to pack her luggage for the trip to Yangzhou.

Qi Lu arranged several carriages, more than twenty servants and three guards for Qi Fu's family.

Prepare to have these people safely escort Qi Fu to Yangzhou to take up his post.

Xiao Ding said, "It's tiring to take a carriage, and it takes a long time. Why don't we take a boat?"

Xiao Ding had never been on a boat before. When the second wife came back and mentioned that their family had taken a boat trip in Guangzhou, she was jealous and envious for a long time.

Qi Fu thought so too. Taking a boat is free and quick. He nodded and said, "Let's go to Bianzhou and take a boat without letting the eldest son know."

"Great."

In the evening, Qi Lu held a banquet for the third wife and prepared a stack of banknotes to give to her as travel expenses.

Qi Lu did these things to give an explanation to his old father.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the upper house, with the men from the two rooms sitting at one table and the women at another.

During the banquet, Qi Luxian said, "Third brother, be a good official and bring honor to the Qi family and father."

Qi Fu smiled and said, "I know."

"Third brother, you still have to discipline your wife and children."

"Yes, brother."

Xiao Ding couldn't bear to hear her uncle using the tone of an elder to lecture the third family, and her fat face turned dark.

Xiao Ding is now an official's wife, and her status and prestige have become high again.

Xiao Ding came from the fifth branch of the fourth-rank general's mansion, with the lowest status, and suddenly married into the general's mansion to help Da Ding run the family. Her personality developed two extremes: servility and arrogance.

She could never get along with others in a calm and peaceful manner.

Xiao Ding put the chopsticks on the table with a bang, and her eyes swept around the eldest family, finally falling on Qi Wan.

She snorted heavily, and a fake smile appeared on her fat face, full of sarcasm, "Ah Wan will be sixteen on the eighth day of the eighth month, right? How long will it take to finalize the marriage?"

"I heard a few matchmakers came the other day, but there has been no news in the past two days. Could it be that no more matchmakers have come to propose marriage?"

"I say, elder brother and sister-in-law, we should find a husband for A-Wan and marry her off. Don't let her bring shame to our Qi family."

"Hehehe." Gillian laughed.

Qi Lu and his two sons all looked gloomy.

Qi Lu put the silver note he was about to take out back.

He cursed inwardly: The third room is a group of dogs that can never be fed.

Pei sneered, "My daughter will never have trouble finding a husband, my sister-in-law, you are meddling in my business."

Mrs. Ding gloated over the misfortune and said even louder, "It's better that your daughter can't get married. Our third room will save a lot of betrothal money."

The people in the eldest house were very angry.

"How do you talk like that?" Qi Yuan stood up suddenly, but was glanced at by Qi Lu. Qi Yuan sat down angrily.

Qi Wan raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "You can't give me a wedding gift."

"You also know that you can't get married?" Mrs. Ding clapped her hands and laughed.

Qi Wan added, "I see that your forehead is black and you won't live for more than three days, so you won't be able to give me a wedding gift."

Xiao Ding's laughter stopped abruptly. She slapped the table with her palm, jumped up and cursed, "What are you talking about, you little bitch?"

Qi Wan raised her eyebrows and repeated loudly, "I said you won't live for more than three days."

Everyone in the third room was stunned. They never expected that Qi Wan would dare to talk back to the junior and say such harsh words.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you little bitch." Xiao Ding stood up and rushed forward to slap Qi Wan in the face.

Qi Wan grabbed Xiao Ding's wrist and pushed her hard, "Get out, you bitch."

Xiao Ding took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, dumbfounded. She had not expected Qi Wan's strength to be so strong, and she had not expected that Qi Wan, a junior, would dare to lay hands on her.

Qi Fu was furious and pointed at Qi Wan and said, "You are committing a crime of insubordination by hitting your aunt."

Qi Wan snorted coldly, "I will beat anyone who dares to provoke me."

Qi Fu was furious and rushed over, "You damn girl, come and hit me and try."

Qi You also jumped over. He first helped his mother up, then followed his father to fight with Qi Wan.

The father and son thought in their hearts: If they beat the daughter of the eldest son, what can they do to us when we leave tomorrow?

However, just as they raised their hands, a shadow flashed from outside the house, picked up one in each hand, and threw them into the yard with a loud bang. The two men fell to the ground with a thud, and they screamed, "Ouch, it hurts."

They looked up in panic and saw a strange woman dressed as a maid standing in front of them with an expressionless face.

"You, you, who are you?"

"Get out of here! I'll beat you to death if you don't want to." Wu Yi pointed at them and said.

Qi Jiao panicked, fearing that her parents and brother would be beaten up and then she would be beaten up, so she shouted, "Let's go quickly."

She supported her mother, Xiao Ding, and fled in a hurry.

Qi Fu got up from the ground with the help of his servants, touched his buttocks, and said to Qi Lu: "Brother, you have to take care of your daughter, she..."

"Get lost." Qi Lu interrupted him and said coldly, "If you don't get lost, I'll break your legs."

When Qi Fu saw his brother's murderous look, he was so scared that his butt tightened and he turned around and left quickly.

Qi You also limped along.

The third room scolded Qi Wan for several hours.

At four o'clock in the morning, they got up, had breakfast and set off.

Xiao Ding arranged for the servants to go and get breakfast.

"You carry the luggage to the carriage."

Soon, a servant came back and reported, "Third Master, there is no fire in the kitchen, and no one is making breakfast."

"How could Pei do this?" Mrs. Ding was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go to the upper house to have a big fight.

Qi Jiao reminded, "Mother, there is a maid in the eldest house who is good at martial arts. If you go there, you might get beaten."

Xiao Ding just remembered what happened last night. She was angry but didn't dare to go to the upper house to make a scene.

At this time, the food shops outside were not open yet and they couldn't buy anything to eat.

"Let's take a carriage to eat later." Qi Fu said angrily.

After a while, another servant came back to report, "Third Master, there is no carriage. What should we do? We went to the stable, but all the horses were gone, and neither were the grooms."

Qi Fu jumped up and said, "This is too much. They didn't even give us the carriages we promised."

The people in the third room were so angry that they were jumping up and down. They had agreed to take a boat yesterday afternoon, so they sent a servant on horseback to Bianzhou to book a boat.

This would delay the time, and we wouldn't be able to board the scheduled boat, and it would also be a waste of money.

The servants outside kept their heads down and said nothing, thinking: I have never seen such a stupid master. He is leaving and offends the eldest son's family.

They didn't want to follow the third branch to Yangzhou and wanted to stay in the capital.

In the end, Qi You went out and called a carriage shop to rent a few carriages, which cost him a lot of money and made Qi Fu and his wife heartbroken for a long time.

Xiao Ding cursed, "We will be officials in Yangzhou in the future, and we will not have any contact with the eldest branch. Don't expect us to give a copper coin to the public."

"From now on, we will break with the eldest branch." Qi Fu also expressed his opinion, "Dad and Mom will not ignore us."

The servants outside all curled their lips when they heard these words, thinking to themselves, "The Third Master hasn't even taken office yet, but he's already showing off his authority without regard for his relatives. He doesn't even think about how he got this position."

A servant passed on what the third wife and her husband said to the servants of the first wife.

Qi Lu snorted coldly after hearing this, "Break up? That's better."

He recalled the guards and servants sent to escort the third wife, and said coldly, "Let the third wife take up the post herself."

Qi Lu took his two sons out on errands and saw the third branch's family getting into a carriage at the gate. The father and his two sons acted as if they did not see the third branch's family and walked away.
