This is the first time Xi Cui has shed tears in front of a woman, and it is also the first time she has felt painful hatred and helplessness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info So much had happened in less than a year, and so many people had left her, leaving her with more precious things and responsibilities that she couldn't give up, and she almost felt herself getting stronger. But at this moment, she suddenly felt that she was so fragile and vulnerable. Although Lao Xuefen is hateful, but it is not terrible, what is terrible is the powerful Lao family that stands proudly behind her.

The Lao family is the Lao family again, she has been hiding, she has been avoiding, she just wants to temporarily seek a peaceful life, but she finds that it is no longer possible. But she can't fight, and she can't dodge, what else can she do?

This is the feeling of complete helplessness, the feeling of having no way to escape......

"What you said makes sense, I'll give you three days, if I still see you in the capital on the fourth day, then you can prepare four coffins by the way." Lao Xuefen was about to leave, but suddenly felt that she didn't speak too clearly, so she turned around and added, "Don't worry, my words count, when the time comes, you just go to Pingyang City and wait, and I will send your family to you." ”

After Lao Xuefen left, Duan San came in, but saw Xi Cui curled up in the corner alone, burying his head deep between his legs, as if crying, but did not make any sound.

He had never seen Xi Cui like this, so he hurriedly ran over, but he didn't dare to get too close.

What did that woman say to Xi Cui to make Xi Cui like this?

Suddenly, Xi Cui stood up, wiped a handful of tears from her face casually, and rushed out. Duan San hurriedly followed, for fear that something would happen.

Xi Cui went out and ran directly to the south, but the twilight moon was obviously in the east. Duan San thought that Xi Cui was diluted and ran in the wrong direction but didn't stop it, be careful to follow behind, people sometimes need to vent out, Xi Cui has too many burdens on her body, these are not what a girl like her should bear.

Xi Cui ran fast and panicked, like a fly without a head, scurrying around, and everywhere he went, there was a lot of restlessness.

They had been running for nearly seven streets, and Duan San was out of breath before Xi Cui finally stopped. She stood in a vermilion gate, gasping and staring at the door on the nine steps, her fists clenched......

Duan San had been standing beside her and accompanying her, but he didn't speak, and looked at the door above with her, and there were only two words at the door. Duan San has been here before, and when he was looking for Qi Yu before, he often passed by here and climbed over the wall next to him.

"Third brother, help me kick this building, it's best to smash it!" Xi Cui squeezed out these words from between her clenched teeth, her eyes never left the door, and the sun shone down, reflecting a few water marks on her cheeks, I don't know if it was sweat or tears.

Duan San still didn't speak, strode up, kicked out with all his strength, the door slammed open, and an ugly scar broke out of the door frame, which was very dazzling. Xi Cui turned a blind eye, and a gust of wind passed by Duan San and entered the door.

Fortunately, this street is relatively quiet, and there are no people at this time, otherwise with the movement just now, there should have been many idlers gathered here who don't know how many onlookers.

Entering the gate, Xi Cui shouted heartbreakingly as she walked, as if she was looking for an enemy who did not share the sky, and the name of the enemy in her mouth turned out to be Qi Yu.

"Qi Yu! Qi Yu! You come out for me! Qi Yu ...... "Xi Cui shouted as she walked, the Qi family's house is not too big, she walked and shouted like this, and it took about a quarter of an hour to walk outside the main hall. The three members of the Qi family happened to be here, and when they heard someone shouting, Qi Qi ran out of it. Seeing that it was Xi Cui, the three of them were shocked, and Qi Yu's face was obviously full of joy, this was the first time Xi Cui took the initiative to come here to find him after he moved. Just now, he was still talking to his parents that he felt good about this spring festival and would definitely get what he wanted, and now Xi Cui's arrival made him feel even more icing on the cake.

People who are immersed in joy tend to ignore some obvious details, and Qi Yu at this moment is. When he saw Xi Cui, he ran over with a smile, completely ignoring the anger on Xi Cui's face.

Before he could stop, Xi Cui's slap landed on his face.

Her slap pushed Qi Yu's excitement to the bottom like thunder on a sunny day. He covered his face and looked at Xi Cui, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing that Xi Cui's second slap was about to hit again, Qi Yu hurriedly grabbed her wrist, "What are you doing?" Crazy? ”

Xi Cui stared at him and shouted hysterically, "Qi Yu, how can you send my family to the Lao family?" How can you do that to them? Why are you doing this? Is it really so important to you that high-ranking officials? Is it important that you can be so unconscionable about it? ”

"What are you talking about? What your family, aren't they good in Binh Duong City? When did I hand them over to the Lao family? Who told you this? Besides, what does the Lao family want your family to do? Qi Yu wanted to calm down Xi Cui first, and tried to let go but as soon as he let go, Xi Cui immediately went crazy, and he had to turn to Duan San for help.

Duan San was helpless, took a few steps forward and knocked Xi Cui unconscious, and then held her in his arms. "Today, the eldest lady of the Lao family suddenly came to Xi Cui, and the two of them didn't know what to say in the room, and Xi Cui became like this after she left."

"What's the matter with the eldest lady of the Lao family?" Qi Yu was even more chaotic, he just started reading books without asking about foreign affairs seven or eight days before the start of the Spring Festival, and then there were three days of exams, only ten days before and after, why did there be so many more things?

Only then did Liu remember that day when he met the little girl of the Lao family, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and he felt bad. Father Qi noticed Liu's abnormality, and hurriedly reached out to support her, "What's wrong with Madam, but it's not comfortable?" ”

Liu's heart was weak and he didn't dare to look at Xi Cui's side, nodded indiscriminately, and pulled Qi's father to walk inside, "Maybe I'm tired, you can help me go back and rest for a while." ”

When she said this, Qi Yu immediately sensed that something was wrong. On weekdays, my father said a heavy sentence to myself, and my mother had to nag my father for a long time, but today Xi Cui slapped herself in the face, but my mother actually ignored it, and used the excuse that she was tired and wanted to avoid it. His intuition told him that his mother knew about it.

So he said to his parents on the steps, "Mother, wait. Then he raised his feet and came over here, and he didn't forget to beckon Duan San to bring Xi Cui in first, he couldn't always stand in the courtyard like this.

Liu Shi heard Qi Yu's voice instead of stopping, but quickened his pace, Qi's father thought she didn't hear, so he pulled her, "The child called you, let's wait for him." ”

Qi Yu walked over in two steps and pulled Liu's family, "Mother, do you know what's going on?" ”

The Liu family tried to avoid it, but found that the two fathers and sons were staring at him, and it was obvious that they both saw their abnormality. In desperation, Liu had no choice but to tell what he had done in the past few days, as well as the people and things he had met.

When Duan San heard this, he was immediately furious, and smashed the coffee table under his hand with a slap, "How can this be reasonable, so it must be that Lao Xuefen hid Xi Cui's family, and used this to threaten Xi Cui to panic!" How dare this Lawruffen! Does she think this world belongs to her family? ”

Qi Yu looked at his mother, and for the first time he had the urge to scold her. He has always respected the Liu family very much, knowing that she does everything for her own good, even if she was always cold to Xi Cui when she was with Xi Cui before, she was not half dissatisfied with him, but this time he was really angry. Of course he knows what kind of person Lao Xuefen is, the reason why this woman can't marry after the age of eighteen is not for anything else, but because she is narrow-minded and treats her subordinates harshly. The maids in her yard were each of the maids in the Lao family, and they were constantly suffering from major and minor injuries. It is said that she really killed a maid, only because the maid told a few bad things about her behind her back, and it reached her ears.

But how could Xi Cui provoke her? "Duan San, do you know why Lao Xuefen wants to deal with Xi Cui?"

"Why isn't it because of the damn Nangong Yufeng!" Duan San clenched his fists again, and his bones were clenched by him. "I don't know the specifics, I only know that Lao Xuefen fell in love with Nangong Yufeng, but Nangong Yufeng didn't take a fancy to her, but often went in and out of our twilight moon. You may not know that it is the house that Nangong Yufeng bought for Xi Cui, and Xi Cui lived in it after leaving the Wang family. It was rumored outside that Xi Cui was the outer room of Nangong Yufeng, but the truth was not like that at all! It is estimated that this Lao Xuefen listened to the rumors outside, so she held a grudge against Xi Cui. But this woman is too hateful, she threatens her with Xi Cui's family when she doesn't have the ability to grab a man! ”

Hearing this, Liu Shi hurriedly excused himself, "Isn't it? Obviously, it was the jealousy between the two women who implicated the family for a man, and it was not my fault. Besides, I took them over out of good intentions, how could I have thought that their daughter would offend such a character? ”

"Mother! Can you shut up? Qi Yu had tried his best to avoid seeing her in order not to get angry with Liu, but he didn't expect that Liu's would not repent at this time. He finally couldn't take it anymore.

"You're talking to me like that! For a woman who has left you! Qi Yu ...... You are really my good son! Everyone has already left you to find Gao Zhi, and you still can't forget to travel to the two cities regularly and regularly to visit other people's families, what happened to me, a mother, who feels sorry for her son? Their daughter is already capable of taking care of them, so why should my son do such a thing? The first time Liu was reprimanded by his own son, he was anxious and angry, so he yelled in response, as if saying his dissatisfaction so loudly could resist the strong anxiety and guilt in his heart.

"Do you think I've been taking care of their lives all the time?" Qi Yu raised his eyes and looked at the Liu family, "Mother, you probably think too highly of your son." I'm just going to see them, and I haven't helped them in the slightest these days. It has always been their daughter who has allowed them to live a stable life! Why do you think I'm taking care of Xi Cui's family, and why do you put others in danger by making decisions for them? Now that you have made such a mistake, you have not regretted it at all, but are thinking about how to exonerate yourself, Mother, you have disappointed me so much! ”

In the days leading up to the exam, he closed himself off and concentrated on reading, while also carefully recalling what he had experienced in these days. Although Xi Cui has also changed, what she cared about at the beginning has not changed, her change is only to protect herself and protect others, at least she has not hurt anyone for her own interests. The reason why the distance between them is getting farther and farther away is not that Xi Cui deliberately pushes him away, but that his selfishness makes Xi Cui lose the trust he once had in himself. So the real betrayer between them is him Qi Yu, not Xi Cui.

In addition, he seriously recalled all the things he had done, in order to gain the emperor's trust and curry favor with the Lao family, he couldn't remember how many intrigues he had used during this period. And although these brought him glory and wealth, they also allowed him to speak with his head held high in front of others. But what he wanted to be at the beginning was not such an official, and he almost forgot that he didn't study to be a big official but to be a good official. Do not seek to be heard in the world, but seek a peaceful room. It is precisely because he forgets that these dishes are lost in the whirlpool of power and cannot extricate himself, he is worried all day long, he is worried about being calculated by others, he talks to others and is wronged, and he steps on low and looks high. Such days are not comfortable, but very tiring.

He wanted to change that, but it wasn't impossible for him. The emperor now trusts him very much, he played very well in the spring this time, and after the release of the list, it was the palace test, and everything was going according to the plan he had agreed with the emperor. The emperor needs a person who is really pulled up by him and is truly worthy of his trust, and he is a chess piece that the emperor has arranged for a long time. In that case, why should he continue to live so tired against his original intention? Wouldn't it be better to be yourself easily?

It's a pity that he thinks things are too simple, it's easy to draw it black on a blank piece of paper, but it's impossible to wash it again.

Liu stopped talking, it turned out that she had been thinking too much about herself, but she still couldn't wake up from the shock of being hit by her son, although she really felt guilty at the moment, but she realized that it was one thing to be wrong, and it was another thing to be pointed out by others, and it was necessary to distinguish who pointed it out. Obviously, being pointed out by her own son made Liu's heart very embarrassed, and she turned her brain to find a way to redeem herself, "Okay, I caused the disaster, I'll go and get them back." If I can't do it again, I'll report to the officials and tell them to arrest that little worker from the Lao family, as long as they catch that person, won't they be saved? ”

"Reporter? Who would dare to touch the people of the Lao family? What's more, we have no evidence at all, and the government can't offend the Lao family just by listening to your empty words! Father Qi finally spoke, he looked at his wife with a disappointed expression, although she was arrogant for so many years, she was not confused, how could she not turn a corner in this matter, "And the little worker of the Lao family you said, I'm afraid I can't find anyone at all now." Besides, you are looking for someone with such fanfare, if you can't find it, you will startle the snake, maybe Miss Lao just wants to scare Xi Cui, and being so troubled by you can only really hurt them. ”

"Yes, yes, maybe Miss Lao is just scaring Xi Cui and won't really do anything. Think about it, she is just a little girl who has not left the cabinet, what can she do? That's a big family, no better than one or two maids around her, and it's easy to cover it up if it's disposed of. Thinking about it this way, Liu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and the expression on her face softened, "Since the young lady is fighting for a man, she asked Xi Cui to obey her wishes, and it would be good to break off with that man." I have been a maid in the Gaomen compound for a few years, and I haven't learned anything else, but my eyes are looking at the sky, and I want to learn to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, so I have to see if I am a bird! ”

Even in Qi Mansion, Duan San didn't allow her to insult Xi Cui like this, hearing her say this, Duan San's arrow-like gaze shot over, and the Liu family quickly retracted behind Qi's father. At this moment, Qi Yu didn't want to say anything anymore, and it would be wrong to say more. He simply didn't pay attention to the Liu family anymore, but looked at Duan San, "Can you tell Nangong Yufeng about this, we are secretly looking for someone and need manpower." ”

Duan San's face was still facing the Liu family, and he said coldly, "If this matter is really that simple, Xi Cui still needs to be in a hurry like this?" If you can't leave Nangong Yufeng, can Xi Cui be in charge? Duan Sancai, who remembered Nangong Yufeng, turned around, "I'll look for him myself, but Xi Cui ......"

"Xi Cui, you can rest assured that we will take care of it, my mother has seen that little guy, and when you come over, I will prepare the portrait of that person, so it is easy to find." Without waiting for Qi Yu to finish speaking, Duan San had already left the Qi Mansion by himself, and Qi Yu bent down to send him off.

Only then did Liu dare to stand up boldly with confidence, patting his chest while looking at the door, "How can there be such a person around this Xi Cui, with a murderous face and a very infiltrating face!" ”

Qi Yu looked at his mother and shook his head, "Mother, you tell me what that little guy looks like, and let's start preparing the portrait." ”

Although the Liu family still wanted to ask why Xi Cui couldn't directly agree to Miss Lao's family, looking at his son's face and remembering Fang Cai Duan San's appearance, he swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to ask.

Father Qi actually wanted to know the reason, although he didn't say it just now, he also agreed with his wife's statement in his heart, in his opinion, Xi Cui and the man were not compatible, and now he caused such a big incident, it would be better to end it early. So he stepped forward and asked Qi Yu, "Could it be that there is any reason why this Xi Cui and that man can't be separated?" Otherwise, she just had to agree to her on the spot and leave immediately with her family, why bother coming here to make noise? ”

Qi Yu thought about it, this reason must exist, otherwise Xi Cui would not hesitate when he chose, and Duan San must know the reason, Nangong Yufeng also knows, but unfortunately he doesn't know. (To be continued.) )
