Wang Qi has been tricked so many times by Mrs. Ma, and she definitely won't go to her just because she took the initiative to look for her.Besides, Wang Qi would not naively think that Mrs. Ma came to seek peace.After leaving, I don't know what kind of hole she dug and waited.Even if she didn't dig a hole, she certainly couldn't say anything to be seen.

Seeing Mrs. Ma watching from a distance, Wang Qi smiled slightly, and said to Mingmei: "Please trouble this girl to go back and tell Mrs. Ma that the younger generation has a cold recently and it is not suitable to see people. I can only be rude today."

After saying this, Wang Qi boarded the carriage without looking back.

No matter how Wang Qi looked at it, he didn't look like he was suffering from the wind and cold. He didn't expect him to be so perfunctory, and he didn't even bother to think of a decent excuse. Ming Mei froze on the spot until Wang Qi's carriage went away, and then she came to her senses .

"Grandma, that person is really too much. He actually said that he can't see people because of the cold. Since he can't see people, he can still come out to visit." She trotted all the way to Mrs. Ma, Ming Mei was furious.She looked back at the door of Wang Sheng's house, and said disdainfully: "It's great to have a few stinky money, and it's not a merchant who can't get on the table, what kind of airs are you putting on?"

Mingmei met Wang Sheng when she was a child, and knew that he came to the capital to do business and made a fortune, but she never met Wang Qi.In addition, when Mrs. Ma held a banquet, she deliberately dismissed her, so Mingmei didn't know about the relationship between Wang Qi and Zhao Jing.Seeing Wang Qi ascending Wang Sheng's door, he thought he was just an ordinary businessman just like Wang Sheng.

I also didn't expect that Wang Qi would directly refuse. Ma Pozi's eyes darkened, and she said immediately: "Now, he does have the confidence to put on airs."

After hearing this, even Mingmei, who is as stupid as a pig, can tell that Wang Qi is not easy.She pretended not to believe it, and said in a regular way: "Grandma, I don't think there is anything special about that person. Could it be that he has more background than Zhengxihou Mansion?"

Looking at Mingmei with disgust, Mrs. Ma naturally wouldn't talk to her, and said directly: "Let's go to Zhengxihou Mansion."

As soon as she heard that she was going to the Hou's Mansion, Mingmei immediately put other things behind her head.She quickly climbed into the carriage and yelled at the driver: "Quick, go to the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Ma hurried on, and when she arrived at Hou's mansion, she was still one step behind Wang Qi.The guards guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion knew Mrs. Ma, so of course they would not stop her.Therefore, Mrs. Ma entered the door smoothly, and then ran directly to Zhao Jing's residence.

Wang Ping'an had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Mrs. Ma, he immediately bowed and saluted, "Greetings to the old lady."

"Yeah." Mrs. Ma nodded, and then she was about to rush in.

Wang Pingan quickly stood in front of her and said, "Madam, Young Master is not here."

"I know that Ah Man is not here, I'm here to look for Mr. Wang." Mrs. Ma said.

As if expecting her to say this, Wang Pingan said: "Go back to the old lady, Mr. Wang is not feeling well and has already rested. I'm afraid..."

"It's okay." After interrupting Wang Ping'an, Mrs. Ma said: "I'm not in a hurry, you can wait slowly. When will he wake up? It's convenient. When will I see him?"

"This..." I didn't expect Mrs. Ma to be so difficult, Wang Ping'an showed a look of embarrassment, "But Mr. Wang is not feeling well, and I'm afraid he will have to take care of her for a few days, which is really inconvenient."

Mrs. Ma was determined to see Wang Qi, and said directly: "It's okay, I can stay here. Ah Man said that if I want to come to the Hou's mansion, I'm welcome at any time. This will not go unnoticed."

When Zhao Jing first recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, he really wanted to bring Mrs. Ma to live in the Hou Mansion.But Mrs. Ma didn't want to, so she gave up.But the words were spoken.But now and then, Mrs. Ma obviously wanted to trouble Wang Qi, and she couldn't meet, so she wanted to stay.If it is true that the two of them are under the same roof, there will be a lot of trouble.

Wang Ping'an thought to himself, now that Lord Hou and Young Lord Hou are busy with business, they are already exhausted, and they really don't have time to care about these trivial matters in the inner house.

"Since grandma has decided to stay here, why are you still dawdling here, why don't you hurry up and clean up the room?" Mingmei hopes that Mrs. Ma can stay here for a long time, so that it will be convenient for her to get close to Zhao Jing.Seeing that Wang Pingan was still standing still, he hurriedly reprimanded him: "Brother Ah Man will be upset if he finds out that you have neglected grandma so much when Brother Ah Man comes back."

Mingmei's attitude towards Wang Ping'an was very rude. You must know that most of the guards in the Hou's Mansion are high-ranking, and they cannot be equated with ordinary handymen at all.If it was left in the past, Mrs. Ma would have reprimanded her a long time ago.But right now, she just needs a dog leg to charge forward, so she can't take care of it.

Looking at this posture, Wang Ping'an knew that Mrs. Ma would not give up until she saw Wang Qi.After pondering for a while, Wang Ping'an cupped his hands and said, "Please wait for a moment, and the subordinates will go down and ask the prince what he means."

After saying this, Wang Ping'an turned and left.

Being ignored from the beginning to the end, Mingmei felt very shameless, pointing at Wang Ping'an's back and said angrily: "What kind of attitude is he? Don't say hurry up and clean the room and ask grandma to stay, but let us wait here, even There are no chairs. When Brother Ah Man comes back, I must tell him to let him clean up this ignorant slave."

"Shut up." Seeing the patrolling guards looking this way frequently, Mrs. Ma rolled her eyes brightly, and said angrily.

Instead of flattering her, she was reprimanded, and Mingmei suddenly felt very wronged.But seeing Mrs. Ma's face was really ugly, Mingmei didn't dare to touch her bad luck, so she could only swallow her tears and shut her mouth reluctantly.

Not long after, Wang Ping'an came out and said to Mrs. Ma, "Madam, please come inside."

"Thank you." Seeing that the goal was achieved, Mrs. Ma put back her arrogance just now and said to Wang Ping'an with a pleasant face.

Mingmei also wanted to follow in, but Mrs. Ma turned her head and said, "Stay here and wait, don't run around."

Being left on the spot, Mingmei watched Pozi Ma follow Wang Ping'an farther and farther, and finally couldn't help crying.

When Mrs. Ma entered the main hall, Wang Qi was already waiting inside.

Serving tea to the two, Wang Ping'an said, "My lord, my subordinates are waiting outside the door."

After saying this, Wang Pingan bowed to Mrs. Ma again, and went out.

"Isn't Mr. Wang feeling unwell? Judging by your flushed face, it doesn't look like you have a cold." Ma Pozi said in a strange way.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Qi ignored Mrs. Ma's sarcasm, but said, "Since you insist on seeing me, I'm afraid it's not just to stab me. If you have anything to say, please speak up."

"Okay, since the prince is open and honest, there is no need for the old lady to beat around the bush." ​​Mrs. Ma sneered, and said, "The old lady came today to ask the prince something."

Without even thinking about it, Wang Qi said directly: "Forgive me for not being able to do it."

"Heh, you knew it couldn't be done before I even spoke?" Mrs. Ma raised her eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.

Wang Qi said: "You have done so much just to separate me from Ah Man. But I have already promised Ah Man that I will stay with him for the rest of my life and never leave. Therefore, this junior cannot fulfill your request."

"Never leave?" Mrs. Ma said shamelessly, "Even if Ah Man marries a wife and has children, do you still have the cheek to hold on?"

Knowing that Mrs. Ma was trying to sow discord again, Wang Qi just lowered her head and drank tea without making a sound.

Seeing that Wang Qi didn't respond, and obviously didn't believe her words, Ma Pozi said in a deep voice, "You have to understand that Ah Man is the only heir of the Zhengxi Hou Mansion. Do you think the Hou Ye can tolerate the Hou Mansion cutting off all sons and grandsons?"

"Grandma Ma, why do you scare me with Zheng Xihou?" Putting down the teacup, Wang Qi smiled, "You and I both know that Ah Man was not born of Zheng Xihou, even if he needs an heir in the future, he can adopt from a side branch. Since Lord Hou can accept Ah Man, he will definitely accept the other one."

Seeing that Wang Qi was not intimidated, Mrs. Ma gritted her teeth secretly, and continued: "Okay, let's leave Zhengxihou aside. Some time ago, Dingbeihou came to see me. Before he came to me, he had already come to Zhengxihou's mansion I've seen Ah Man."

Mentioning Zhou Ying, Wang Qi paused while holding the tea, and heard Granny Ma continue: "Since you know that Ah Man is not the real son of Zheng Xihou, you must also know the real relationship between Ah Man and Zhou Ying. Yes, in fact, Zhou Ying is Ah Man His biological father. Dingbeihou’s son died of illness a few years ago, and Ah Man is Zhou Ying’s only living son. He naturally wants his son to recognize his ancestors and inherit his title.”

"So?" Wang Qi asked softly with a faint smile.

Mrs. Ma said against her will: "All these years, Ah Man has been eager to get Zhou Ying's approval, and then restore her mother's identity and reputation. Zhou Ying also assured Ah Man that as long as he married a woman, he would do what he wanted."

So that day when Zhou Ying came to Zhengxihou Mansion, did he talk to Ah Man about this?No wonder Ah Man was ambiguous about Zhou Ying's intention, obviously unwilling to talk about it.

"Why, didn't Aman tell you about such a big thing?" Seeing a flash of surprise in Wang Qi's eyes, Mrs. Ma was overjoyed and said deliberately: "Young Master, you don't have to blame Aman, there are two safety in this world." The method? Ah Man also has his difficulties, if he tells the truth, I am afraid that Prince Wang will have no face to stay as a concubine."

Knowing that Mrs. Ma's words can't be trusted, not to mention there are many loopholes in her words.Wang Qi quickly went through these things, and immediately had a clue in his mind, "Grandma Ma, does Dingbeihou also know that Ah Man likes men?"

"This..." Unexpectedly, Wang Qi would suddenly turn up here, and Pozi Ma choked, but couldn't answer.

Wang Qi continued: "Until yesterday, only a few people from the Zhengxihou's Mansion and you knew about the relationship between me and Ah Man. The Zhengxihou's Mansion and the Dingbeihou's Mansion have different aspirations, so naturally they will not catch up. Reveal your secrets. You love Ah Man so much, and you won’t make a big deal of it. Zhou Ying probably doesn’t know about this, right? Since he doesn’t know, marrying a woman is not a request worth trading, so why should Zhou Ying make such a fuss? Woolen cloth?"

Seeing Mrs. Ma's face getting more and more ugly, Wang Qi knew that she had guessed right, "I'm afraid... Zhou Ying wants Ah Man to marry the woman he chose. And this woman must be related to Zhou Ying's current wife, Shen Yutang. , she may even have chosen it herself. Zhou Ying is not trying to recognize Ah Man, she is clearly leaving a way out for the woman she loves."

At this time, Mrs. Ma's complexion could no longer be described as "ugly", it was as dark as the bottom of a pot.Although he didn't hit all the marks, Wang Qi also scored nine points.Zhou Ying really wanted Zhao Jing to marry the woman he chose. Although that woman was not a relative of the Shen family, she came from the same family as Concubine Shen's daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Ma is not stupid, and it is clear at a glance what their plan is.Zhou Ying hit a snag with Zhao Jing, so she turned her idea to her, and she did not hesitate to condescend and ask Mrs. Ma to be her lobbyist.Thinking that Zhou Ying did all this for the bitch Shen Yutang who killed her young lady, Ma Pozi couldn't help but get angry.

"This Marquis of Dingbei is also a rare seed of infatuation. At first, he did not hesitate to kill his wife and abandon his son in order to right his beloved. Now, in order to keep Shen Yutang safe for the rest of his life, he unexpectedly came up with such a shameless idea." Wang Qi continued to add fuel to the flames. You, "Grandma Ma, you know better than anyone else what Ah Man has experienced in Dingbei Hou's Mansion. Zhou Ying would not have treated Ah Man that way if he cared about the relationship between father and son. Let Ah Man marry him and choose Shen Yutang Destined woman, are you really at ease? Are you not afraid that after that woman enters the door, she will help Shen Yutang kill Ah Man?"

Wang Qi rebelled against the army, and the killed Ma Pozi was speechless.Madame Ma was furious, stood up abruptly, and said in a cold voice, "Wang Qi, don't be complacent. Don't think that you can be confident now. Even if Zheng Xihou can accept other people's children to inherit the title, it doesn't mean that he will be willing to let the child inherit the title." There is a scandal of broken sleeves in the Hou Mansion. If you insist on degrading yourself, think about what will happen in the future."

After leaving these words, Mrs. Ma left angrily.

Looking at Mrs. Ma's back, Wang Qi shook her head.He already knew that the two of them would break up unhappy, so he avoided seeing each other.But she had no choice but to find Mrs. Ma unhappy by herself.Wang Qi originally thought that Mrs. Ma must be holding back some big tricks if she insisted on coming to the door, but she didn't expect it to be a lawsuit with a few words.It seems that Mrs. Ma has no cards left.

In the evening, Zhao Jing came back, and when she heard that Mrs. Ma had come to look for Wang Qi, she immediately broke into a sweat.

"Qiong Ju, what did grandma tell you? Didn't you make things difficult for you?" Zhao Jing asked Wang Qi nervously while pulling her.

Signaling Zhao Jing to relax, Wang Qi smiled and said, "It's okay, Granny Ma just said a few words to me. I can handle this little matter, so you don't have to worry."

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Wang Qi's face, Zhao Jing was relieved.

"By the way, how is Mr. Wu Zhu's investigation going?" Seeing Zhao Jing's exhausted and joyful face, Wang Qi guessed that he must not be ignorant, so she couldn't help asking.

Let Wang Pingan go down to rest, Zhao Jing pulled Wang Qi to sit by the bed, and then said: "There are already some clues, brother Xu is stepping up the investigation, if there is no accident, there will be results soon."

Seeing that things really made progress, Wang Qi also felt relieved.

"That's right." Although he knew that Wang Qi was not angry, Zhao Jing was still afraid that he would be wronged by Mrs. Ma, so he couldn't help asking: "What did grandma tell you?"

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Grandma Ma did tell me something."

……

After hearing Wang Qi finish speaking, Zhao Jing quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I just didn't want to make you worry. Although Zhou Ying made a request that day, I didn't even think about it, and I refused directly. My father also He said that everything is up to me, and he won't interfere too much. I didn't expect Zhou Ying to miss me, and actually sent his idea to grandma. It's thanks to him for thinking it out."

"Zhou Ying is not stupid. He knows that you hate the Shen family to the core, so he will definitely not agree to his request." Wang Qi said, "He must have come prepared. I'm afraid he forced you to agree with better conditions."

Zhao Jing rubbed his nose and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. Zhou Ying is willing to cooperate with the Zhengxi Hou Mansion, and will also hand over the important information found by the Dingbei Hou Mansion. After Mr. Wuzhu is captured, He promised to let Zhengxihoufu take the lead."

"Such generosity, under the circumstances at the time, really cost a lot of money." Wang Qi smiled lightly: "But this time and that time. If Mr. Wuzhu really has a relationship with Uncle Ning's House, Zhou Ying, as Uncle Ning, I am afraid that my in-laws and son-in-law are also inseparable."

"Let's not talk about Zhou Ying first, I'm afraid Shen Guifei and the seventh prince will be implicated." Zhao Jing hugged Wang Qi, gloating and said: "The emperor loves Shen Guifei and the seventh prince as much as his eyes. , I don’t know how I would feel.”

If they can really bring down the Shen family and the Seventh Prince in one fell swoop, and let the prince successfully succeed to the throne, they will have hope in their future lives.Seeing Zhao Jing's smiling face, Wang Qi was also very happy.

After laughing with Zhao Jing for a while, Wang Qicai said: "By the way, I asked you before, whether there is anything unusual around Ning Anbo these years, I wonder if you have checked it?"

"Shen Rongchang's background is very clean, and there is almost nothing unusual." Zhao Jing's eyes darkened, "Father said that he was either really stupid and was tricked by his wife to death. Or he was too shrewd. No flaws were left."

Wang Qi thought for a while, and then asked, "Did someone around Ning Anbo die abnormally?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. There are many servants in Uncle Ning'an's house, so it's normal for a few people to die." Zhao Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "If there is one person who is very close, there is one. More than 20 years ago, I have been giving Shen Rongchang's old doctor passed away. It is said that this doctor took care of Shen Rongchang when he was young."

Wang Qi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "If he had taken care of him since he was a child, that doctor should be very old, and it would be normal for him to die. Why did you mention him specifically, but there was something unusual about the death of that doctor?"

"Is there anything unusual about Lang Zhong's death? I'm afraid it's hard to investigate for a long time." Zhao Jing said: "It's just that shortly after his death, a fire suddenly broke out in the house, and the only son of Lang Zhong was also burned to death. But the doctor's son didn't practice medicine, and he didn't have much contact with Ning Anbo, so maybe it was just an accident."
