Chapter 167: Waiting and Rumors
As soon as Qi Rong finished speaking, the sound of the fight outside disappeared as it went away, Bao Qi looked at Qi Rong's gaze and complexion, obviously his complexion was better than before, but the depth and sharpness on it were also more than before, even the soothing and gentleness became less, Bao Qi's worry was inexplicably a little more uneasy, feeling the heat of Qi Rong's palm and said,
"And last time, was it a wave?"
Qi Rong frowned and looked at Bao Qi, he remembered that Bao Qi said last time, it was the assassin on the night Qi Zhu was lost, looking at Bao Qi frowning sadly, Qi Rong felt a pain in his heart, and took Bao Qi a little, he didn't want to lie to her.
Before eating, Bao Qi looked at Qi Rong, obviously he was hungry just now, but now he was blocked by another emotion, Bao Qi took a breath, and finally asked again, "Who is going to harm you? Song Junshu, or is there someone else? and your sick ......?"
Qi Rongxing's eyes were deep and bottomless, and there was a trace of unspeakable sadness in them, holding Bao Qi lightly, until Bao Qi's voice became lower and lower, Qi Rong closed his eyes and stared straight at Bao Qidao, "I don't want to lie to you, but I can't say it now, when the time comes, I will definitely sue you." ”
Bao Qi looked at Qi Rong's gaze, almost sinking inside, that overwhelming feeling, obviously hidden in the deepest part, but still deeply felt by Bao Qi, Bao Qi pursed his lips, nodded very firmly, and said at the same time, "But you have to promise me, no matter what difficulties or problems, you must sue me, don't support it alone, we are husband and wife, we are people who will be together for the rest of our lives, whether it is good or bad, I am willing to share it with you." ”
Qi Rong was moved by what Bao Qi said, and stared at Bao Qi's eyes full of affection. Holding Bao Qi's arm, he increased his strength, and instantly hugged the other party tightly in the crook of his arm, and whispered the word Qiqi, but there was nothing else to say.
At dinner, Qi Rong forced Bao Qi to eat more, so he allowed Bao Qi to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and slightly dissipated his appetite, because he was too tired, the two went to bed early, and before going to bed, Qi Rong hugged the lovely girl in front of him and kissed for a while. Only then did he say in a low voice, and rest early. hugged Bao Qi and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Qi Rong was arranging to leave the house, and the Qi Mansion received a boiling news from outside. The eldest lady of the Yan family fell into the water in Qi Mansion. Ling Gongzi got wet to save people. Embracing the eldest lady of the Yan family, she is looking for a room in the house.
In less than a morning, rumors spread everywhere, and Bao Qi didn't know if Ling Ji would propose marriage for a while. Qi Zhu sat in the boudoir and stared at him angrily, but there was a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was weirdly sharp.
"Hmph, what about saving her, how can Brother Ling look down on her! Mother is also worried, look at it now, this matter has been spread all over the capital, hmph, I don't think anyone will dare to marry my good cousin in the future! Oh, no, where can she be my cousin, Sister Shangguan is my cousin!"
Ai Xue listened to the side and didn't say anything, after all, Shangguan Qingtong is not Qi Zhu's cousin, if it is really according to the distance between relatives, several young ladies in Yan Mansion are indeed closer than Shangguan Qingtong, but she is a maid, some things should be said, some things should not be said, now all she can do is to be silent.
Qi Zhu gloated here, but Qi Jingqian sat in the main hall with a black face over there, and Mrs. Qi next to her listened to Qi Jingqian's words with the same heaviness, "This matter has too much impact on the reputation of the mansion, not only to our mansion, but also to the Ling Mansion and the Yan Mansion, hmph, if it wasn't for the good daughter you raised, how could such a humiliating thing happen to the people of the whole city! The people in the mansion can't see it well, and they actually spread it, how did you act as a lady!"
"Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this matter affects not only the reputation of the house, but also the face of my business for half my life!"
Mrs. Qi listened to Qi Jingqian's words without speaking, her eyes were slightly suppressed, her face was heavy, her posture was upright but she did not lose a good attitude, she listened carefully to Qi Jingqian's words, she didn't talk back or explain, she knew how to deal with this situation best, the reputation of Qi Mansion has been maintained by her for nearly 20 years, no matter how angry Master Qi is, he will not treat her well.
After all, this matter involves Qi Zhu, and no matter how much Mrs. Qi cares about the reputation of Qi Mansion in her heart, she naturally cares more about Qi Zhu's affairs, so she waited for Qi Jingqian to finish getting angry, so she tried to persuade as gently as possible,
"This matter, I have already sent someone to check out the people who leaked the news, the wood is already in the boat, the master is angry, and he must also pay attention to his body, after all, there are still Ling Mansion and Yan Mansion in front of him, we will not bear the brunt of it, and after two **** to give alms, this impact will soon pass. ”
Mrs. Qi said dignified and elegant, and she was very thoughtful, Qi Jingqian's anger was also much less, she sat on the chair and took a long breath, frowned and glanced at Mrs. Qi, and finally said in a low voice, "I hope so." ”
Yan Mansion.
Yan Ruowen has been staying in the boudoir since she came back yesterday and has never come out, no matter who shouts, Mrs. Yan is worried that she will have an accident, so she sent two maids to guard it, and the food is also taken to the room to eat, but every time how to take it in, or how to take it out.
Mrs. Yan was worried that Yan Ruowen would starve her body in advance, so she went in this morning and persuaded again, Yan Ruowen sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, just ignoring people, Mrs. Yan persuaded for a while to no avail, so she had to wait for someone from the Ling Mansion to come soon, sighed and withdrew.
Yan Ruoshi took Yan Ruoqi to live on the other side, seeing the sudden change in the family, her mother tried her best for the position, and the eldest sister was ruined again, and the aunt on the side room, although she didn't make a sound, she had been quietly checking the movement here, and she had been gloating and waiting to watch the show, Yan Ruoshi took the shuttlecock in her hand and glanced at Yan Ruoqi, and said with a light smile, "You lost this time, I should ...... it."
Soon the Yan Mansion received the news from the outside, and Mrs. Yan finally panicked, the people of the Ling family have not arrived yet, although the time is urgent, but if you don't hurry up, this in-law family, I'm afraid it will really not be able to get married, Mrs. Yan walked around the house in a distraught, where can I take care of other things.
Lord Yan didn't return to the court, and yesterday he sighed and said that taking one step at a time is one step, and now who can he find to figure out a way, the little goblin in the backyard will definitely be happy to die at this time......
Near noon, Yan Ruowen sat on the edge of the bed and cried into tears, Mrs. Yan angrily reprimanded Ling Fu for being irresponsible, Yan Ruoshi took Yan Ruoqi to hide in the house and didn't come out, and heard a subordinate running in in a hurry from a distance.
"Madame—Madame—"
"Someone from the Ling Mansion is here!"
Mrs. Yan's footsteps slammed down, and the face that was pulled down, as soon as it reached her mouth, instantly bloomed with a smiling flower.
