"Father, what do you mean?" The Yao Clan was a little confused.
Yao Chenggu put the banknotes into his arms, picked up the opium pipe, and slowly filled it with tobacco. "The biggest problem now is that the baby in the Qin Clan's belly may not be the Dai Fu's."
The Yao Clan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood. His face was a little pale. "Father, you mean …"
Yao Chenggu smoked, squinted, and didn't say anything.
The Yao Clan sat on the edge of the kang and was lost in thought. After a while, he said, "If the Dai Fu knows about this …"
"Can't you do a clean job and not let the Dai Fu know about it? The baby in the girl's belly is of unknown origin, and it will be troublesome if it is born. Since the Family Qin is strong, and the Dai Fu needs a father-in-law, the marriage was granted by Your Majesty, and we can't abandon the Qin Clan. Then let her be clean and have a baby whenever she wants. We can guarantee that she will have a baby in the future. "
"But … the girl is not even 18 years old. At this age, if she is hurt and can't have a baby in the future, what will happen?"
"Will the Dai Fu never have a concubine in his life?"
The Yao Clan looked at Yao Chenggu's kind and gentle face, and the hesitation in his heart gradually turned into determination.
"Father, you are right. As a mother, I must be responsible for my son. I can't let the Dai Fu's bloodline be unknown. I will think of a way. Father, you … "
"Madam Dowager is back." The voice of a maidservant came from outside.
The Yao Clan immediately shut up.
In a breath, Mrs. Ma lifted the curtain and walked in quickly. She frowned and asked directly, "Where is the banknote?"
"Mother." The Yao Clan stood up.
Yao Chenggu was also a little surprised. When he was about to ask the Yao Clan how they knew, the opium pipe in his hand was taken away by Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma knocked the ash in the pipe into the spittoon, and then held one side of the pipe with one hand, raised her leg and fiercely stamped on it. With a "crack" sound, the jade pipe and the brass opium pipe were split into two.
Mrs. Ma angrily threw the pipe on the ground. "Smoke it!"
"Are you crazy?!" Yao Chenggu suddenly stood up.
Yao shi also came over to advise her: "Mother, what are you doing? Everything was fine, why did you take out father's cigarette …"
"Get out of here and kneel down!" Ma shi raised her hand and slapped her, causing Yao shi's face to tilt to one side. A red handprint quickly appeared on her cheek.
Yao shi covered her face and looked at Ma shi in disbelief: "Mother, why did you hit me!"
"That's right, I hit you! You wicked wicked girl! Don't you understand what I tell you? Look at what you two are doing today! "
Mrs. Ma pushed the Yao Clan to the side and pointed at Yao Chenggu. "Surnamed Yao, I know what you're thinking. I've been with you for decades, and I know what kind of shit you're going to do! Let me tell you, don't cause any more trouble for me. Return the money to the in-laws as soon as possible! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impatient! "
"Surnamed Ma!" Yao Chenggu was also furious and slammed the table loudly. "You're trying to turn the world upside down! Don't forget who's in charge of this family! "
"Charge? Are you trying to say that you're in charge? This is the Prince's Mansion. Men are in charge of external affairs and women are in charge of internal affairs. The one in charge of external affairs is Dai Fu, and the one in charge of internal affairs is the Princess Consort and Yi 'er! Who do you think you are? Put away your filthy thoughts! I've been honest and upright all my life, but I actually married a wicked person like you! "
"How am I wicked? I'm thinking for Dai Fu, and I'm afraid that he'll raise a child for free. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Dai Fu isn't a fool. How could he not know whether that child is his own child? Other people are overjoyed to have a great-grandson and live under the same roof as their in-laws. How wonderful would that be? But when it comes to you two, it's like your nose is your nose and your eyes are your eyes! Sister Yi went out with Dai Fu to help with the disaster this time. Do you know how much of her dowry money was used? If it weren't for that money, Your Majesty might have already dealt with our Dai Fu! Our in-laws ordered people to protect us and hide us these days, and you actually want 3,000 taels of silver from them! Are you still human?! "
"I didn't take it! He gave it to me! Besides, why do we have to hide? Didn't Dai Fu go out to look for Qin's daughter? Shouldn't he be protecting us? "
"Bullsh * t! Don't you know why Sister Yi was kidnapped? The Family Qin hasn't blamed us yet, but you're acting like this. Has your mother's brain been kicked by a donkey?! "
Madam Ma was so angry that she slapped down. The kang table was directly smashed into pieces. The table was broken into several pieces, and the legs of the table were also broken. Compared to Yao Chenggu's slaps just now, it was as powerful as it was in the past. It could be imagined that if this slap hit someone, it would at least break their bones and tendons.
Madam Ma pointed at Yao Chenggu's nose. "You, surnamed Yao, are not a good person. You're wicked, and the daughter you raised knows how to climb into the master's bed at a young age. You're forty years old and still don't know anything. You're competing with your daughter-in-law. What kind of dogs are you two?!"
Yao Chenggu was scolded until his face turned red. He pointed at Madam Ma with a trembling finger. He wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words. It was even more impossible for him to fight back. In his life, he had never won against Madam Ma.
At this time, Madam Ma had already grabbed his lapel and pulled out the three banknotes.
"I'm going to return the banknotes to the in-laws. I'm warning you, don't try to trick me! I just told Dai Fu that in a while, I'll move my luggage and live in Si Qing Garden until my great-grandson is born. If you have any ideas, be careful that I'll peel off your skin! "
"You, you prodigal old woman! How can you, an old woman, live in your grandson's courtyard! Do you think I'll harm the Qin Clan?! "Yao Chenggu's heart was pierced by these words. His face turned red as he straightened his neck and roared.
Madam Ma sneered: "I've lived with you for a lifetime. Do you think I don't know you? You're also someone who has half of your body buried in the earth. Isn't it good to enjoy your old age? Why are you meddling in Dai Fu's affairs? And you! "
She turned around and grabbed Yao Chenggu's collar and lifted him up. "During this period of time, go to the side room and reflect on yourself. You're not allowed to come out without my permission! If you dare to go to Si Qing Garden, I'll break your legs! "
Madam Ma put one hand on her waist and grabbed Yao Chenggu's collar with the other hand. She dragged him to the side room and loudly ordered the servants to close the door. She also said to the nanny beside her: "Your Old Madam has hysteria. In order to prevent her from suddenly hurting people, let her recuperate in the side room. When she becomes a normal person, she can come out."
The mama had been waiting outside the door for a long time and had clearly heard the conversation inside. Yao shi was normally dignified and gentle, but in reality, she did not treat the servants as people. Seeing that the old madam wanted to punish Yao shi, she happily nodded her head and said: "Aiya, old madam, for a woman of this age, her body is weak. She sweats during the night and gets angry at the slightest thing. There are quite a few that have hysteria. Later, we must find a good imperial physician to take a good look at old madam."
Madam Ma nodded and turned back to point at Yao Chenggu. The threat was obvious, and she turned around and left.
Yao Chenggu leaned against the door frame and trembled. He originally thought that although his wife was a daughter of the jianghu, she was willing to accompany him to suffer. It could be said that she was deeply in love with him and he respected her very much. When he first opened the restaurant, he was only in charge of researching the dishes, while Madam Ma was in charge of managing everything. The restaurant's business was good because she knew how to win people over. Even if a robber came, Madam Ma could deal with him with a few punches and kicks.
Yao Chenggu was very satisfied with having a powerful wife. She was really good in the hall and the kitchen, not to mention that their grandson was Wang Ye now.
But who would have thought that after being an old couple for a lifetime, they would fall out with each other for an outsider?
Yao Chenggu was angry, wronged, and depressed. He grabbed his hair and sighed, "Oh!" and squatted on the ground.

At this time, Qin Yining had just taken a dose of miscarriage prevention medicine prepared by Bing Tang and felt much better. She leaned against the soft satin pillow and stared blankly at the picture of a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren on the bed curtain.
Pang Xiao sat beside her and asked cautiously, "Do you feel better?"
"Much better." Qin Yining smiled. Although she was full of anger, Pang Xiao didn't do anything wrong. She wasn't a stupid woman who threw a tantrum at her man. She knew when and where to maintain her image and position in Pang Xiao's heart.
She leaned forward with her elbows on her body and then lay down again with her head on his thigh.
Pang Xiao hurriedly pulled the thin quilt for her and gently smoothed her messy long hair.
"Sister Yi, don't be angry. I didn't handle the matter well this time. My grandfather and mother really thought too much. I'll explain it to them later. Don't worry too much. We don't need rent or anything like that. "
"I know." Qin Yining smiled and said, "I said it in a moment of anger. Now that I think about it, I feel regretful. I shouldn't have treated Old Master and Mother-In-Law like that."
"Look, you don't even call them Grandfather and Mother."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "They don't treat me as family either. They suspect me. "
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were smart people. How could they not see this?
Looking at Qin Yining's tired face, they thought about how she had been suffering since the day she was with him. She didn't have a day of peace. Now that she was pregnant, her family even suspected her.
Pang Xiao felt guilty and angry.
He patted her shoulder helplessly and said, "Sister Yi, no matter what other people think, you and I are husband and wife. I believe in you and I know you. As for going to them, I'll explain it to them. I won't let something like today happen again. Don't be sad, okay? "
Qin Yining nodded. A strand of long hair fell from her shoulder, down her snow-white neck, and scattered on Pang Xiao's leg.
She looked so weak, and Pang Xiao's heart ached even more. He hated that he couldn't dig out his heart for her.
"Okay, you have a good rest. I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon."
Qin Yining knew that he was going to Pine Crane Hall, so she moved back and watched him go out with a smile. Then she gradually stopped smiling and lay back down.
She wasn't a weak person.
Back then, the Sun Clan didn't treat her well. She endured it because the Sun Clan was her biological mother.
The Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu suspected her. They drew a clear line between them. Although she was shocked at the time, she felt that it was human nature. There was nothing she couldn't understand.
When she was young, she saw the selfish and ugly side of people. The Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu weren't bad people. They were just the most honest people.
The Ma Clan was sincerely good to her, so she returned the sincerity a hundred times.
