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

Ding held her chest with her hands and hummed, acting as if she was pissed off by Qi Wan, and forced the master to punish Qi Wan according to the family rules.

The third master Qi Fu ran forward with a cry of surprise and asked, "Mom, are you okay? Do you want to call a doctor?"

Qi Fu pointed at Qi Wan and said, "Such an unfilial person should be taught a lesson according to the family rules." His fat face was full of ferocity, and he wished he could beat his eldest niece to death.

He shouted: "Hurry up and bring the family law."

With General Qi sitting in the hall, the servants outside did not dare to respond or go to take it.

"Qi Fu, go get a doctor for your mother." General Qi made another arrangement, "Mrs. Ding will hand over the management of the family to the eldest daughter-in-law."

General Qi raised his beard and said unhappily, "If you lie down, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat even a hot meal. I'll have to go out to buy food."

Mrs. Ding quickly sat up straight and waved her hands, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I just felt a little dizzy, but I'm fine now."

She was reluctant to hand over the housekeeper power.

General Qi raised his eyebrows in understanding, turned around and asked personally, "Ah Wan, why did you beat the maid to death? What did she do wrong?"

Qi Wan bowed and said calmly, "Grandfather, I can't stand it anymore and beat the maid to death today."

General Qi pinched his white beard with his hands and nodded vigorously, "Yes, we Qi family will never kill innocent people! Ah Wan has always been gentle and polite. There must be a reason for beating you today. Tell me about it."

Ding's eyebrows were raised and she was angry.

The Qi Fu couple were speechless and dumbfounded.

The eldest lady and her mother-in-law lowered their heads and smiled.

Qi Wan began to speak:

"When my granddaughter got up and dressed in the morning, she discovered that a set of gold jewelry was missing. The names of the Qi family and Qi Wan were engraved on it. It would be terrible if someone else got it."

"That's right." General Qi nodded. "If things from the boudoir were to be spread outside, it would damage our reputation."

Qi Wan paused for a moment and continued, "I called the servants and asked, 'Who has seen my jewelry?'"

"The maids and servants all said they didn't see anything, but Lan Ting didn't come back all night, so I asked people to search her room."

Qi Wan looked at the third wife and asked everyone, "Guess what they found?"

The third wife, Xiao Ding, pursed her lips and said, "You can ask someone to put the jewelry in her room and put the blame on her."

"Aunt San, so it was you who put the jewelry there?" Qi Wan asked, tilting his head.

"No, no, don't talk nonsense, why should I put your jewelry there?" Xiao Ding shook her head, and the two lumps of flesh on her fat face swayed.

Qi Wan waved her hand: "No, what was found was the jewelry from your third room."

"No way, how is it possible?" Xiao Ding jumped up in shock.

Qi Wan said, "She often comes to your third room, at least twice a day. You don't know when she took things from the third room."

General Qi looked at his third daughter-in-law thoughtfully and asked, "Why does the maid of my niece from the first house come to your third house so often? What is she doing?"

"Nothing." Mrs. Ding turned pale with anxiety. "She is my niece's maid. It's not easy to chase her away if she comes to the third room."

"She's just a servant. Why should we chase her away?" General Qi chuckled.

Da Ding glanced at her third daughter-in-law and signaled her not to speak any more, as the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make.

She then looked at Qi Wan, determined to punish this bad girl who had ruined their plans according to the family rules.

Qi Wan noticed their subtle movements and said, "When she came back this morning, I asked her if she had taken my jewelry and why she had taken the jewelry from the third room. She even got angry at me and blamed me for searching her room."

"I was furious and wanted to interrogate her strictly. She was afraid and told me about the third wife. I beat her to death to protect the third wife's reputation."

"What did she say about the third room?" General Qi asked.

Qi Fu rolled his eyes and looked at his eldest niece who was talking nonsense.

Xiao Ding sneered and couldn't help but said:

"You beat your own maid to death with a stick. How shameless! And you even want to drag this matter into our third room. How shameless!"

Qi Wan hit back bluntly: "Third Aunt, I beat a maid to death for doing something bad, which is immoral. Then you beat half the master and the master to death, which is cruel!"

"You silly girl, you are talking nonsense. I will teach you a lesson." Xiao Ding became anxious and jumped up to hit Qi Wan.

"Stop it, I'm here. If you dare to act like a spoiled child here, do you believe I'll punish you according to the family rules?" General Qi slammed the table and shouted.

Xiao Ding stood there with her hands raised, not daring to take another step forward.

Qi Fu was relentless, "Since my niece said such a thing, if you don't explain it clearly, I, the Third Uncle, will not let her off easily."

"You go ahead." General Qi gestured to Qi Wan.

"As a niece, how can I tell you about what the third house did?" Qi Wan shook her head.

She turned around and called out, "Auntie Wu, please tell me."

Aunt Wu came in and bowed.

She listened outside for a while and found out what the young lady was planning.

Aunt Wu said, "Every time Lan Ting comes back from the third room, she would laugh, 'The third room is a bunch of country bumpkins.'" She paused and looked at the expressions of the couple in the third room.

The third room's couple was so angry that their mouths were crooked and their necks were thick.

The third wife muttered: The daughter of a guilty minister should be sold to a brothel to serve customers.

The Third Master cursed inwardly: Damn the daughter of a traitor, she dared to call us bumpkins, she deserves to be beaten to death.

General Qi raised his chin and said, "Go on."

"Yes, old man." Auntie Wu answered respectfully, and continued: "Lan Ting confessed today, 'The Third Madam found a crime to have the concubine Ye Zi, who was pregnant, beaten to death, killing two people. I discovered this secret by accident. The Third Madam gave me the jewelry and asked me to keep it secret. I didn't steal it.'"

This is exactly what Lan Ting said, but it happened just a month ago.

Lan Ting thinks herself noble and innocent, so how could she possibly look down on the third wife?

She colluded with the third wife purely for her own benefit.

Every time Lan Ting came back from the third room, she would tell Wu Ma and the others about the third room with a sneer. She mentioned many times that the third wife beat her pregnant concubine to death with a stick, and said that the third wife was not worthy of being the head lady of the third room.

"Our young lady scolded her, 'She stole something and dared to frame the master of the third room. She should be beaten to death for committing treason.'" When Aunt Wu said this, she asked in confusion, "Did our young lady do anything wrong?"

Qi Wan looked at Wu Ma with praise. She was experienced and experienced. She understood her intentions and her words were flawless.

She secretly blamed herself: In my previous life, I did not make use of such a loyal and shrewd old servant. Alas, I was so blind!

The room was silent and everyone was stunned after hearing these words.

Qi Fu stared at Xiao Dingshi for a moment, then asked angrily, "When you beat Ye Zi to death, she was pregnant with my child?"

"No, my husband, don't listen to the instigation of outsiders." Xiao Ding avoided his gaze, her face was pale, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

Da Ding was Xiao Ding's aunt, so she knew her niece. She was clearly guilty, and Xiao Ding did kill the concubine who was pregnant.

Da-shi Ding gritted her teeth and glared at Xiao-shi Ding.

I hated her for being so cruel and ruthless in killing her grandson, and for letting outsiders know about it.

Xiao Ding hurriedly winked and pouted at her son and daughter.

Qi You was sitting in the hall eating melons and fruits. Seeing that his mother was about to suffer, he put the watermelon on the table, rubbed his hands on his sleeves for a few times, stood up and bowed, saying: "Grandfather, that concubine Ye was too much in the third room to compete for favors, and even beat mother, so she was beaten to death."

Qi Jiao knelt down and testified while crying, "Grandfather, grandmother, father, it was Aunt Ye who wanted to strangle me, so mother beat her to death. Aunt Ye was not pregnant at all."

Qi Fu didn't believe his son and daughter at all. He rushed over, grabbed his wife's fat neck and asked, "Tell me, tell me, is Ye Zi pregnant or not?"

He now has only one son and one daughter, and he really wants to have more sons.

"No, no, she is not pregnant." Xiao Ding was terrified and afraid that she would be strangled to death by her husband, so she denied it again and again.

Da Ding hurriedly advised: "That's not true, Ah Fu, don't listen to what others say."

She quickly came to a conclusion, "That bitch Lan Ting deserves to be beaten to death. She lied and cheated both sides."

General Qi asked, "You won't punish Ah Wan according to the family rules?"

"No need to deal with it. A harmonious family is the key to success." Mrs. Da Ding forced a smile.

Xiao Ding also said hurriedly: "We were fooled by that lowly maid. We should not use family rules against Ah Wan."

General Qi sneered, "Humph, you're only thinking about family harmony now? Just now, you were forcing our eldest daughter to use family rules for a slave."

"As elders, you cannot distinguish right from wrong, and you are unkind and unmerciful to the younger generation." General Qi pointed at his third son and his daughter-in-law and scolded them. He then announced loudly, "Bring the family rules. Qi Fu and Xiao Ding will each be punished with five strokes of the cane. You will learn a lesson and remember that 'a harmonious family brings prosperity' in the future."

General Qi said to Mrs. Ding, "From today on, you will take care of your health like me. I will give the upper house to the eldest son and the housekeeping power to the eldest daughter-in-law."

"Howl!" the old lady screamed, her eyes turned black, and she fainted.

Amid the crackling sound of the boards, General Qi walked out with his hands behind his back and a gait of a figure eight.

He had a smug smile on his shrewd face, "I should have done this a long time ago, so that my family can be harmonious and everything will be prosperous."

Pei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and Qi Wan respectfully escorted him out of the upper courtyard.

"Father, walk slowly."

"Go away, Grandfather."

Qi Wan praised: "Grandfather has a sharp vision and acts decisively and resolutely."

Pei whispered, "Your grandfather has led the army to the battlefield many times. He can tell who is who and what is going on. He is just enduring it for the sake of family harmony."
