Chapter 248 Visiting at home
When Yang Xiaotao marched into the Qi Family Manor with a group of elite soldiers and some gifts, Qi Hongling's father and elder brother were being reprimanded face-to-face by several Qi family bosses.
Qi Hongling's mother was accompanied and persuaded by her sister-in-law, trying to suppress her anger for her own health.
It turned out that just last night, Qi Hongling's patriarch uncle sent someone to send news to Qi's Village.
There are two pieces of news, one is that Li Qingwen has ridiculed and insulted Qi Hongling in public again, and the other is that the Li family is dissatisfied with the Qi family again.
Qi Hongling's patriarch uncle didn't dare to do anything to the Li family, so he vented his frustration at being beaten to Qi Hongling's parents, brother and sister-in-law.
He ordered several clan elders who lived in Qi's family village to come here today to remind Qi Hongling's parents, brothers and sister-in-law, and let them be cautious about the children in the family, and not to harm the reputation of the younger generation in the family because of a married woman who has divorced and future.
When several clan elders came over, Qi Hongling's parents, brother and sister-in-law were gathering in Qi Hongling's mother's room, discussing how to get rid of the current predicament.
Not only Qi Hongling, but they have also had enough of the oppressive life of being half-captive.
The Qi family is afraid of the Li family, and most of the members of the Qi family are greedy for the benefits that the Li family has given them. They have already decided to sacrifice the Qi Hongling family for their own sake.
At first, the patriarchs and elders of the Qi family only forced Qi Hongling's parents, brother and sister-in-law to make concessions, forcing them not to stand up for Qi Hongling.
Later, as the relationship between Qi Hongling and Li Qingwen continued to deteriorate, those in power in the Qi family also increased their "punishment" against Qi Hongling's parents, brother and sister-in-law.
They raised the banner of "everything is for the family", and when they should protect the clansmen most, they chose to step on the bones of the clansmen to seek benefits for themselves.
Befriend Li Shi, tacitly divide up the large sum of money that Li Shi gave out for peace affairs, regardless of the misfortune of Qi Hongling's family's tears and swallowing blood.
However, even so, none of the Qi clan members stood up to complain for Qi Hongling's family.
They are used to the power of the clan, and they are also used to the power of the patriarch and the elders. Naturally, they will not offend the family ruler who also controls the fate of their small family for the sake of other people's family.
Fortunately, Qi Hongling met a boss who did not hesitate to support his subordinates. After deciding to bring her under his command to train and inspect her, Ye Anlan sent Yang Xiaotao to Qi Hongling's family to support her.
She asked Yang Xiaotao to visit Qi Hongling's sick mother on her behalf with soldiers and horses.
Qi Hongling didn't know anything about this, but those offshoots and servants of the Qi family were frightened and limp by this group of elite soldiers who were full of killing spirit.
They dare not even offend Mrs. Li, let alone Ye Anlan, the current lord of Jeju.
Yang Xiaotao announced his name and intention of coming, and then the servants, whose faces were pale with fright, walked directly into the Qi family's old house with trepidation.
At the same time, the elders of the Qi clan have also received news.
Their confidants broke into the house without paying attention to the notification, and then said such and such in the ears of their masters.
The old Qi clan members stared wide-eyed, with unconcealable shock and fear flashing across their faces, they even forgot that they were still reprimanding Qi Hongling's father and brother.
Qi Hongling's father and brother also had confidant servants to help deliver the news, but the master lost power, and the servants who were loyal to them had to keep their tails between their tails. Now that these Qi clan elders are still here, it is obviously not suitable for them to show up immediately.
No way, Qi Hongling's father and brothers could only quietly observe the elders, hoping to see some clues from their sudden changes in their faces.
However, before they could see anything, those clan elders, accompanied by their long entourage, strode out to meet Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao was Ye Anlan's personal bodyguard in private, but on the surface, Ye Anlan gave her the title of commander for her to travel outside.
In addition, Yang Xiaotao is one of Ye Anlan's most trusted and valued subordinates, these clan elders are afraid of her, and they really dare not belittle her publicly.
They rushed out of the courtyard in a hurry, then bowed their hands and greeted Yang Xiaotao from a distance.
Yang Xiaotao bowed her hand in return, she neither gave them face nor flattered them with excessive enthusiasm. After doing all the courtesy, Yang Xiaotao passed them and walked straight towards Qi Hongling's father and brother.
"Junior Yang Xiaotao, by the order of my lord, I have come to visit Mrs. Qi who is sick in bed. If you take the liberty of coming here, please don't blame Master Qi."
She was very polite to Qi Hongling's father, which was completely different from her attitude when facing the old Qi clan.
Qi Hongling's father's lips trembled. He was in a very complicated mood at this time. Of course he was happy, but at the same time, he couldn't help but belatedly began to feel sad.
He felt sad that his daughter was suffering more than anyone else, but she still had to run around with rumors and gossips for her parents, brother-in-law, nephew and niece.
It is sad that their family has done nothing wrong, but in the end they will be cornered by the Li and Qi clans.
While trying to suppress the complex emotions that surged out of him, he took his son and bowed his hands to return the salute, "General Yang, you are welcome. You can come, and our family is too happy to be happy."
Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly to him and Qi Hongling's brothers, "Then Master Lao Qi will send someone to take me there to meet your wife."
Before Mr. Qi could speak, one of the elders of the Qi clan had already pushed his son out, "General Yang, why don't you let the dog take you there, him."
Yang Xiaotao's expression turned cold suddenly, she fixedly looked at the Qi clan elder, "Is this your house? Are you the master?"
The old man from the Qi clan subconsciously took a step back after being stared at by her, because he felt that he had lost face, and his face immediately became extremely ugly.
The young man who was pushed out by him wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in. As the eldest son of the Qi family, he had always lived a luxurious life in Qi's Village, and this was the first time Someone didn't show any face to his old father, so he also lost such a big face.
Master Qi saw the reaction of the father and son, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, "It's what you deserve! What a retribution!"
Of course, on the bright side, Mr. Qi, who also pays attention to etiquette and demeanor, will not show his gloat. He pretended not to hear the conversation between the clan elder and Yang Xiaotao, but sent someone in his yard A seven-year-old boy who worked as an errand boy in the house accompanied Yang Xiaotao to the back house to meet his wife.
His wife had also received the letter at this time. While letting the eldest daughter-in-law serve her to wash and change clothes, she asked the younger daughter-in-law to bring the children to her side.
