Reborn to Be A Noble Wife - Chapter 493
Chapter 493 The Duke of Qi’s Disorder
“A gift of thanks from the Duke of State?” Mrs. Duke of Qi asked in surprise, this is something she really didn’t know about, receiving the land deed of the store presented by Yu Dong, her face immediately changed.
“It says it’s a thank you gift for our young lady for finding the Duke of State’s Jade Spotted Finger, our young lady doesn’t dare to accept such a heavy gift.” Yu Dong respectfully said.
There was silence above for a while, and only after a long time did we hear Qi Guo Fu’s laugh, “Thanks to your miss, your miss doesn’t accept these, but our thanks can’t be less.”
Mrs. Duke of Qi finished shaking her hand to a granny behind her, the granny came over, she whispered a few words, the granny looked at Mrs. Duke of Qi in surprise, Mrs. Duke of Qi nodded her head.
The granny went out and came in a short while later carrying a gift box.
“This is our thank you gift to your young lady, you can’t not accept it this time.” Lady Duke of Qi smiled and said to Yu Dong, and called over a maid to guide Yu Dong.
Yudong did not refuse this time, as long as it is not these hot store deeds, it is good, after receiving the gift, she said thank you to Mrs. Duke of Qi, and followed the maid who led the way to leave.
When Yu Dong left, Lady Qi Guo Gong’s face sank.
“Ma’am.” The granny serving at the side carefully said.
“Let’s go, go see the Duke of State.” Lady Duke of Qi stood up and headed out, cupping these land deeds in her hands.
In the study, the Duke of Qi heard that his wife had come and nodded for Little Please to invite the Duke of Qi’s wife in.
Mrs. Duke of Qi entered alone, leaving all the grannies and maids outside the door, and after entering, she first bowed to the Duke of Qi before looking up at the Duke of Qi with a straight face, “Duke of Qi, what is the meaning of this?”
She took out the deed in her sleeve and placed it on the bookcase in front of the Duke of Qi.
“Where did that come from?” Seeing clearly what was on it, the Duke of Qi frowned and said unhappily.
“Doesn’t the Duke of State know that?” Lady Duke of Qi stared at Duke of Qi, her face unhappy.
“This is a thank you for finding my jade trigger finger.” The Duke of Qi was silent for a moment and explained.
“How come I didn’t know something so big had happened? The Duke of State’s jade trigger finger is still given by the Emperor, right, it has been worn on his hand, when did it disappear?” Mrs. Duke of Qi’s gaze fell onto the Duke of Qi’s hand, and above the thumb on that hand, there was that jade speckled finger.
“Lost it before, afraid of you worrying, didn’t say, randomly found another one to wear first.” Qi Guo Gong body leaned back, quite a few points of impatience said.
The room was quiet, and Mrs. Qi Guo Gong did not speak for a long time.
Qi Guo Gong opened his eyes and was met with a reproachful expression from Mrs. Qi Guo Gong.
“Duke of State, I know that you are bound to have something to hide from me, we have been husband and wife for so many years, although we can’t say that we have lived and died together, but we have also experienced a lot of things before we came to the present day, at that time, if it wasn’t for your merits, almost, we would not have been able to live in one of the mansions, not to mention this knighthood.”
Mrs. Qi said.
These words evoked the memories of the Duke of Qi, the face of the complexion is not so calm and cold, the bottom of the yellow eyes but brought up a trace of sadness, that time the Duke of Qi to prosper, in addition to him and his big brother, more than that eldest brother as father, that is, he learns martial arts, initially, but also big brother to teach up.
“Duke of state, that time …… uncle listened to the words of sister-in-law, almost even the entire state government …… we that time, also almost, and I that will be because of the shock gave birth to a daughter, premature birth of a child …… That will sister-in-law also pregnant with a child, and finally …… “Mrs. Duke of Qi corner of the eye fell tears, lowered her head, took a pad in the corner of the eye wiped.
Raising his eyes up again, he saw that the opposite Qi Guo Gong’s eyes were also red.
Those days were the most overwhelming times, whether it was the Duke of Qi, or Mrs. Duke of Qi, who had only just given birth to a child, and this was the past that Mrs. Duke of Qi was most reluctant to bring up.
The couple had almost uncharacteristically forgotten this past in all these years.
And now mention it again, Mrs. Duke of Qi only feel full of sorrow, also because of the premature birth, the daughter has been in poor health since childhood.
“You …… don’t say …… anything,” Qi Guo Gong’s voice darkened.
“No, the State Council, I have to say, so many years, we husband and wife of the same heart, do what things are discussed, even in the most difficult time, the State Council has what things are also tight to me, every time I think of it, I have countless times grateful to the State Council, that time also thought, even if it was then implicated, followed the State Council to die, it does not matter, at least we have a family are together, close and intimate, in the Yellow Springs can also be a companion ……”
Mrs. Duke of Qi said here, say no more, tears fell, reached out for a handkerchief how to press can not be pressed.
“You don t say it, I know …… that I am sorry for you!” The corner of Qi Guo Gong’s eyes were also wet, that part of the past, how would he like to remember again.
It was only by pressing his hand against the corner of the table and pushing hard that he was able to suppress the hurt in his heart.
Originally, he thought he could fight it all off, but it never occurred to him that he was actually just scared, and by showing his fear with indifference, he was actually a coward.
A coward who can’t face himself.
” The Duke of State has not wronged me!” Lady Duke of Qi shook her head.
“No, I am sorry for you, even if in the future in the nine springs, I …… am sorry for you.” Qi Guo Gong’s voice became more and more guilty, looking at Mrs. Qi Guo Gong, almost word for word.
I can see he’s not making this up.
Mrs. Duke of Qi took a handkerchief to wipe clean her tears: “Duke of Qi, really did not apologize to me, since that time after the incident, I have lived a very good life, so many years, the only concubine in the house, or the aunt before, Duke of Qi has not taken a concubine since then, even if it is sent over by the emperor, you have also used the excuse to push it away.”
In fact, in the very early days, the concubines around the Duke of Qi is still quite a lot, that time the Duke of Qi is still a playboy who does not have to inherit the family business, there are naturally a lot of women around, Mrs. Duke of Qi is only married to the time, is reluctant, and also by some former bosom friends, secretly ridiculed.
But I didn’t expect the Duke of Qi, who had gone through that change, to be like a different person.
Not only did the concubines who had not given birth to children drive away, but since then there have been no other women around, and the Duke of Qi’s wife is also a good one.
“State Duke, I also do not talk about these past events, those things …… so many years, we have forgotten!” Mrs. Duke of Qi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and raised her red eyes once again, “What you did today, I don’t understand what it means, why are you so good to this Qu House’s fourth young lady, and even make a way to send her a store? The State Lord also don t say the jade trigger finger thing, I …… don t want to listen to these empty words.”
Qi Guo Gong s head lowered, some annoyed clenched his fist, then loosened it again, after that clenched it tightly again, several times before saying, “You do not ask the reason, wait for the future …… wait for the future, I will find the right time, will inevitably say it to you, I will not let you have been unable to figure out. ”
“The Duke of State is hiding something from me?” Mrs. Duke of Qi tried.
“There was a thing, an old thing.” Qi Justice.
“The matter of Miss Qu’s birth mother?” Mrs. Duke Qi tried again, her eyes skeptical.
Qi Guo Gong inexplicably annoyed up, hand heavy fist on top of the table, smashed the tea cup on the table jumped a little, fortunately there is not much tea inside already.
“It’s not what you think it is, that child is one of our juniors, an extremely close junior …… It’s me who didn’t take care of her …… They… . are all good, it is me who is wrong.” Qi Guo Gong’s head lowered, both eyes closed tightly, there are tears sliding down from the bottom of the eyes.
Seeing this scene Mrs. Duke of Qi was shocked, so many years, she has never seen the Duke of Qi so sad, even when the eldest uncle’s family was executed, after knowing the news, the Duke of State just went to the study alone, how sad, Mrs. Duke of Qi has not seen.
The current Qi Guo Gong was so out of shape that he actually shed tears in front of her.
This Qu fourth young lady in the end with the Duke of the country have what dry, and look at this, the main thing is the Qu fourth young lady’s biological mother, that little Yue clan.
In fact, when she saw Xiao Yue’s also very close, from time to time will invite her to sit, and the Qu House is also quite close, but then Xiao Yue’s died in childbirth, the two houses have no contact.
Is it hard to believe that there’s something else going on here that you don’t know about?
“This is Mrs. Duke of Qi’s thank you gift?” Qu Mo Ying asked as she looked towards this small, delicate and exquisite wigwam placed on the table, it was a wigwam decorated with agate, such as in terms of value of course, it was a few stores that were expensive, but in terms of rarity, it was still this agate wigwam that was rarer.
“Mrs. Duke of Qi asked Miss to be sure to accept this gift of thanks.” Yu Dong was also taken aback, he also didn’t expect Lady Duke of Qi’s return gift to still be so precious, “Miss, what to do now, is the slave girl still going to make the trip?”
Qu Mo Ying shook his hand, “No need!”
Since Mrs. Qi Guo Gong sent out such a gift, and it is indeed a gift, not with the store as incestuous, she can no longer say that she refuses things, see later to find a loan will return another gift over is.
“Miss, the slave girl also heard that this is still what Mrs. Duke of Qi originally intended to give to Prefect Jingyu.” Yu Dong said.
The maid who sent her out was a talkative one, and was chattering with Yu Dong all the way, which made Yu Dong hear some unexpected news.
“Prepared for Prefect Jingyu?” Qu Mo Ying’s gaze fell on the onyx wigwam, Liu Jingyu became the future Crown Princess, as the grandmother of the Duke of Qi’s wife to send a thick gift, naturally it should be, such a thick gift is also worthy of Liu Jingyu, at the moment, but let himself cut off.
The corner of his lips silently hooked, this was something that Liu Jingyu was bound to know.
Before the Qingmei’s matter, Qu Mo Ying has already let people check, this Qingmei actually still from Qi Gongfu out, Qi Gongfu in the most hostile to their own, in addition to this Jingyu County Jun there is really no one else.
She knows, and it’s actually good ……
“Miss, Third Miss invites you over!” A granny was outside the house, reporting inside.
Qu Mo Ying slightly raised her eyes, coincidentally, she also has something to find Qu Qiuyan ……
