Chapter 80: Death and Grace
By the time Hua Xi was helped up, Qi Yue and Ling Yu had already rushed over, looking at the scene in front of them with the same worry as Qi Yu.
Bao Qi knelt on the ruins, half-holding Hua Xi, feeling the other party's slightly trembling body, Bao Qi could only keep whispering, coaxing the other party, until Hua Xi calmed down a little, Bao Qi choked up, and even asked himself a little nervously, "Sister Xi'er, uncle, ...... they"
Without waiting for Bao Qi to finish speaking, Hua Xi's eyes suddenly widened, full of horror and grief, quietly grabbed Bao Qi's sleeve, shook his head and couldn't say half a word, anyone who saw it would have a soft heart, sympathizing with this girl who had just lost her parents.
Bao Qi understood the meaning of Hua Xi in seconds, and the last flame of hope in his heart was finally completely extinguished, and a puff of green smoke rose, with the scorching heat that had just burned, scalded Bao Qi's heart, and then gradually cooled.
Picking up the person in his arms, Bao Qi's eyes were full of moisture, and he raised his head and stared straight at Qi Yu on the side, and his voice became calmer and calmer, "The fire, how did it happen?"
This question made the faces of the guards beside Qi Yu change significantly, glanced at Qi Yu cautiously, and took a step forward defensively, but Qi Yu's eyes were much darker, not in her heart, but in the side of Bao Qi, she didn't expect that in this case, she could still have the heart to suspect the cause of the fire, and she could calm down so quickly to complain about the grievances of the family, not only ordinary women can't compare, but even men rarely think of it.
After all, this news was released early in the morning, this disaster is a natural disaster, an accident, and even a somewhat sensitive accident, how can it give others the opportunity to speculate?!
Now that the case has not been resolved, and the matter of the plague is so great that it must be decided by the emperor, but even if the emperor suspects, he will not do too much, after all, many dead people have also arranged bereavement benefits, blocking the mouth of Youyou, Bao Qi's question is indeed a little bold.
Qi Yu's eyebrows were thoughtful and heavy, revealing a deep sense of regret and shame, "I have sent someone to play my father in this matter, but it is said that it is a natural disaster, and the court will definitely bury the dead people, give them an explanation, and rest in peace as soon as possible." β
Who doesn't know that this pension is issued in the name of Qi Yu, that is, Bao Qi, a person in the deep house, has also heard about it on the road, Qi Yu's words will be credited to the court, that is, to the current emperor, it really created a good image of benevolence, kindness and filial piety, not fighting or grabbing, but only doing practical things.
In modern times, this word-of-mouth marketing can be regarded as a typical example of success.
After Qi Yu's words were finished, Hua Xi's small expectations that had been picked up by Bao Qi were suddenly shattered, and her eyes were full of despair, and she muttered weakly beside Bao Qi, "...... Dad, mother...... Bao Qi ......"
Bao Qi heard her call herself, her heart was even more uncomfortable, she pursed her lips to wipe the tears on Hua Xi's face, Yun'er hurriedly handed over the handkerchief in her hand, and Ling Yu's heart sank when she saw it.
wiped the tears and black ash on Hua Xi's face, Bao Qi slowly let go of Hua Xi, moved his body, and knelt in front of several people at once.
Qi Yu's eyes showed three points of surprise, and he remained silent, Qi Yue took a breath and was puzzled and anxious, Ling Yu was also surprised, although he leaned over with a demeanor, and wanted to help Bao Qi up, "Young lady, what are you doing?"
Hua Xi was soft beside Bao Qi, her face couldn't see her expression, her eyes were clouded with tears and she didn't know what to do, and she glanced at a few sons pitifully, and anyone would have a feeling of pity.
I saw Bao Qi kneeling up straight, and gave Qi Yu a salute first, "Fang Caimin's daughter only cares about saving people, and she is rude to His Royal Highness King Yu, and I hope that Wang Ye Haihan." β
The love in Qi Yu's eyes relaxed, and he was about to speak, but he saw Bao Qi salute again, but at this moment, he said to Qi Yue,
"The second son, Baochai knows that his background is low, and he is soft-spoken, and he is fortunate to enter the mansion and receive the care of everyone in the mansion. The Hua family is like Baochai's mother's family, and the second elder of the Hua family is Baochai's reborn parents, but now the Hua family is in trouble, Hua cherishes one person, and Baochai is the same sister, and I hope that the second son can be lenient with his wife, so that Sister Xi'er can accompany him, and it can be regarded as a heart of repaying Baochai's gratitude, and Baochai should be grateful!"
After some rhetoric, he used honorifics rather than intimate words, which shows that Cheng DΓΉ, who is valued in the heart of the speaker, did not deliberately close the distance to elevate himself, but calmly used his own identity to fight for it.
Hua Xi's eyes flashed violently, and he looked at Bao Qi with tears trembling, Qi Yue's face was even more solemn, he hurriedly stepped forward to help his sister-in-law, and said very sincerely, "Sister-in-law, get up, don't be like this, it is not only the sister-in-law's relatives, but also the relatives of the Qi Mansion, how can it be unreasonable, don't say that I will go to find my mother, even if I don't look for it, my mother will definitely agree, but I have to wronged the flower girl, sister-in-law is like this, Qi Yue is really ashamed of the eldest brother!"
Qi Yue is also a handsome son, otherwise he would not be famous in the capital, once made Hua Xi so original germination, although not as gentle as Ling Yu's temperament, but when he speaks, he has a trace of natural sincerity, people are like pure jade, not miserable impurities, so that Bao Qi always guesses that these two sons must be too well protected by Mrs. Qi, and they have read a lot of sage books, and they are all sages in their eyes.
Several times, the other party took action to relieve himself, but at the same time defended his mother, of course, this is understandable, but this naivety makes Bao Qi a little unbearable every time he confronts Mrs. Qi.
Now that he heard Qi Yue say so frankly, Bao Qi sighed in his heart, if you really feel sorry for your eldest brother, you will be more sorry for the flowers in the future, Bao Qi still didn't forget and thanked Qi Yue, and then he was ready to get up.
A glance just saw the miserable flower pity written all over the body, Bao Qi owed, skillfully avoided Qi Yue's support, reached out to help the flower regret first, Qi Yue changed hands, in the eyes of others, it was also like going to help lift the flower regret lying on the ground, so that the onlookers were a little more admired and emotional, this second son of Qi Mansion is a real person as his name.
Hua Xi's eyes were picked up by Qi Yue, his voice was like a mosquito to say thank you, and he turned around and was about to go to see Bao Qi, Bao Qi had already been picked up by Yun Yue, Ling Ji had a slight complaint about Qi Yue's move, but he could only watch Yun Yue get started, he was holding the etiquette at one end, and he was not good at acting rashly, so he only said a word of caution with Qi Yu, which was quite embarrassing.
Hua Xi's body is really dirty, not to mention that the dress is a little burned, just stayed in the corner for almost two days, and the smell of burnt and smoke all over her body is incompatible with Qi Yue's dress of a rich son, but Qi Yue not only did not dislike it, but supported it very steadily, not far away, not close, with thoughtful etiquette, showing the posture and demeanor of a good son.
Yun'er helped Bao Qi, very distressed, but admired, but this Yu Wang's attitude made her more vigilant, she gently gave Bao Qi a messy dress, wiped the dust, and fully let Bao Qi show the treatment and demeanor of the young grandmother of Qifu, this is her duty as a girl, and it should also be thought of for her master.
Before her hand fell, a soft cry suddenly sounded in her ear, "Be careful of your feet!"
