When Qi Miao saw Lian Manzhi, she was secretly surprised in her heart.

I haven't seen her for a few days, how she has lost a lot, and the heavy fat powder can't hide the haggard between her eyebrows and eyes.

The dress that originally fitted was now worn on the body and swayed.

The tall figure became more and more slender, and Qi Miaozhen was worried that a gust of wind would blow her away.

"Sister Zhi'er, what's wrong with you?" Qi Miao stepped forward and took her hand and asked with concern.

Her eyes swept over the red gold weedy in her hair.

The ruby looks red at first glance, purple on closer inspection, and turns green again in another position.

This is a gemstone that can change color, which is very rare and valuable.

The corners of Lian Manzhi's mouth twitched, and he said with a face full of grievances, "Sister Miao, I was bullied." ”

There were tears in his eyes.

"Ah, who bullied you again? Let's go into the house and say, it's cold outside. Qi Miao welcomed Lian Manzhi into the Bright Moon Pavilion.

After entering the house, Qi Miao and Lian Manzhi sat on the soft couch together.

"What's going on?" Qi Miao asked.

Lian Manzhi pursed her lips tightly, and did not answer her question, but got up and gave her a few solemn salutes.

"Sister Miao, I'm sorry to tell you for my mother." Lian Manzhi said.

"Sister Zhi'er, if you have something to say, you will be productive if you do this. Besides, why does Mrs. Lian want to apologize to me? Qi Miao got up and pressed her down on the soft couch and said angrily.

Lian Manzhi sighed heavily and said. "Sister Miao, do you remember what I told you last time, it was my mother's proposal."

"Well, remember. What's wrong? Qi Miao nodded slightly.

"Alas!" Lian Manzhi sighed again and said, "We all know that my brother is not worthy of Sister Miao, including my mother's ......."

If you know that you are not worthy, then why do you still say those words?

Is it deliberate?

When Qi Miao heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

After Lian Manzhi paused, his face became excited. "Actually, all this blames my second cousin, if it weren't for him, how could my mother say those words. How could you make your aunt angry, and also make Sister Miao feel uncomfortable. ”

"What does this matter have to do with Second Prince Xu?" Qi Miao's heart sank.

Xu Che, this brute, what did he do?

Lian Manzhi had an angry look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Miao, you don't know anything." The second cousin instigated my brother. said that Sister Miao, you are not only a good person, but also ...... is also very rich, if I marry you, the dowry will not be spent for several lifetimes, so let my brother come to propose marriage.

My stupid brother really believed these words, and went to my mother.

My mother knew that the stupid brother was not worthy of Sister Miao, so she didn't agree, but my brother not only begged again and again. Later, I was forced to die, and my mother had to agree......"

"How do you know this?" Qi Miao asked.

Lian Manzhi wiped the corners of his eyes. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "On the second day after returning to Xufu, my grandfather lost his temper, not only was my aunt injured, my second cousin was beaten, and my mother and I were also driven away.

When I got home, my brother asked my relatives how they were doing, and my mother scolded him angrily and slapped him.

My brother doesn't know about you, Sister Miao, if it weren't for the instigation of his second cousin, he would never have moved that kind of mind......"

Qi Miao didn't speak.

Lian Manzhi's words were too informative, and she had to reason.

Lin was injured, Xu Che was beaten, and Xu was driven out of Xu's mansion by Xu Taishi......

Why did Mrs. Xu lose his temper so much, and what happened?

Compared with the marriage proposal, Qi Miao wanted to know these things more.

For Xu Che, she hated him, and he also wanted her to die.

It's really strange to say, she hates him because of everything in her previous life, just because of a white lotus, his hatred for her is beyond her imagination.

Could it be that he also remembered his past life?

But judging by his words and deeds, it doesn't look like that.

From this point of view, the two of them are really destined rivals, and hatred has long been rooted in their bones, and they are about to erupt.

The smile on the corner of Qi Miao's lips was a little cold.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lian Manzhi thought she was angry, so she hurriedly took her hand and said pitifully, "Sister Miao, my mother already knows that she did something wrong, and she regrets it very much, please don't be angry, okay, and don't ignore me, okay?" ”

Qi Miao pursed her lips and smiled lightly, shook her hand, and said, "Sister Zhi'er, please rest assured, they are them, you are you, I will not ignore you." ”

Lian Manzhi smiled happily.

Qi Miao asked, "By the way, Sister Zhi'er, you said that your aunt was injured and your second cousin was beaten, what is going on?" ”

"Don't you know?" Lian Manzhi asked her rhetorically.

Qi Miao shook her head.

I wondered how I could have known this.

Lian Manzhi frowned and said, "Actually, the specific situation is not very clear, but after my grandfather came back from the court that day, he called all of us over with a black face...... I went back to the house first......

My aunt was knocked out by my uncle with a vase, and the blood flowed out of my mouth, which was really scary...... Later, my grandfather asked for family law and punished my second cousin, and my grandfather also knew about my mother's coming to propose marriage, and he was very annoyed......

The next thing is to listen to what my mother said, listening to the meaning of my grandfather's words, it should be Uncle Qi who went to him and told him what happened in the garden that day, oh, by the way, it seems that the Nine Princes were also present......"

Did my father go to Taishi Xu to theorize?

Ji Mo is also there?

Qi Miao was surprised again, she didn't know these things.

On that day, his father came to apologize, but he just said that Ji Mo said those few words, as for why he said it, his father didn't say it, let alone mention Taishi Xu.

Xu Che was punished so heavily this time, it should be related to Ji Mo.

Xu Taishi has a very good face, and if his father's accusation against Xu Che is not heard, he will not only not admit it, but there is also the possibility of beating him up.

After going back, Xu Che will be scolded at most, and he will not hurt his hands next time.

But these words were heard by Ji Mo.

According to Ji Mo's character. must have said a bunch of extremely ugly words, how could Taishi Xu be so humiliated, how could he spare Xu Che, who made him embarrassed.

The Xu family suffered these this time. Master Xu will definitely regard it as a shame and will hold a grudge.

Hey, Ji Mo, Ji Mo, is it really appropriate for you to offend people like this?

Are you really not afraid of retaliation?

Qi Miao was stunned to find that she was worried about Ji Molai.

When Lian Manzhi was leaving, he handed a food box to Qi Miao and said, "Sister Miao." This is a small snack I made myself to apologize, and I don't know if it suits you. ”

Qi Miao opened the food box, and the fragrance of dim sum suddenly entered his nose.

Take a closer look. The sweets are beautifully made in the shape of roses.

"Sister Zhi'er, you are so skillful, I don't want to eat it so beautiful, I like it very much." Qi Miao praised with joy.

"It's good if my sister likes it. I'm back today. I'll make the rest another day and bring it to my sister to taste. After getting the praise, Lian Manzhi was very happy, with a little blush and a shy smile.

"Okay, then there's Sister Lao." Qi Miao did not refuse.

She personally sent Lian Manzhi out of the gate of the Marquis of Anning's mansion.

Back at Mingyue Pavilion, Yuexia pointed to the food box and asked her, "Miss, do you want to taste it?" ”

Qi Miao did not answer. Instead, he looked at the food box and was slightly distracted.

The dim sum in the food box is delicate and beautiful, and the fragrance is rich and attractive.

But Qi Miao didn't eat it. I didn't give it to anyone else.

Instead, he handed the food box to Xia Shuang privately and quietly told her to do something.

Xia Shuang solemnly responded.

After taking a nap at noon, Qi Miao went to her mother's house and told her the reason for Xu's proposal.

"This beast is really damned, he is so bad-hearted, God will take him in one day." When Shen learned that this matter was instigated by Xu Che, he was so angry that he smashed another cup.

Thinking about how many grievances he had suffered because of this incident, the Shen family was so angry that he really wanted to kill him.

Looking at the fragments of the cup, Qi Miao shook his head and sighed, "Mother, you also said that he was a beast, what are you doing smashing the cup, this cup is our family's thing, the beast is not worthy of you to make such a big fire."

I'll tell you another happy thing, he was beaten by Mrs. Xu with family methods, and Miss Lian said that he couldn't go out for seven or eight days. ”

"Playing well, how can the Xu family raise such a good person, what kind of talented and beautiful young man in the capital is simply a rotten melon.

Now I don't know how many people in the capital are blinded by his stinky skin, and there will be no fewer people who will suffer from him in the future. Shen scolded hatefully.

She didn't know that she was one of the blinded ones in her previous life.

Xu Che was unlucky and frustrated, and Qi Miao was not in a relaxed mood while being happy.

Because many things in this life are different from those in her previous life, she doesn't know what will happen next, and the road ahead may become more and more difficult.

In the future, she has to be more vigilant, no matter what, the mistakes of the previous life must not be repeated.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, but they didn't see Qi Zhengzhi come back.

"Why hasn't your father come back yet?" Looking at the sky outside, Shen couldn't help but worry.

At this time on weekdays, he should have come back a long time ago.

She asked Baozhu to go to the study to see if he had gone directly to the study again.

Baozhu went out before a quarter of an hour before he returned, and smiled, "Madam, Miss, the third master is back." ”

While speaking, Qi Zhengzhi had already picked up the curtain and came in.

Wrapped in the cold, he walked straight to his wife and daughter, handed a small food box in his hand to Qi Miao, and said happily, "Miao'er, for you." ”

"What is it?" Qi Miao took it.

The first time she received something from her father, she was still a little uncomfortable.

"Open it and take a look." Qi Zhengzhi rubbed his hands, with a warm smile on his face and a hint of eagerness.

Shen handed over a cup of hot tea and said angrily, "Why are you so mysterious?" ”

Qi Zhengzhi put his arm around her shoulders and just smiled.

Qi Miao opened the lid of the food box, and a crispy fragrance of scallion oil suddenly overflowed, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Lee Fu Chi's mille-feuille shortbread!" Qi Miao exclaimed.

It's a food that lives in memory, and it's not eaten for years, many years.

Lee Fu Chi's signature dim sum is this mille-feuille, which is available in limited quantities every day, and you can't buy it if you're late.

Li Fuji is far away from the Anning Hou's Mansion, and it seems that his father's late return today is related to buying cakes.

Qi Zhengzhi saw that she recognized it, and nodded happily, "Yes, it is Li Fuji's mille-feuille shortbread, I remember that you loved to eat this cake when you were a child."

One time we were late, and the bread was sold out, and you didn't follow it, so you sat in front of people's doors and cried and spilled your nose. Later, the shopkeeper was amused by you, and immediately made an exception and ordered the kitchen to make one for you, and you broke into laughter. ”

"Yes, yes, after you reminded me like this, I also remembered this." Shen nodded, and then sighed with emotion, "San Lang, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still remember, I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago." ”

Qi Zhengzhi's cheeks suddenly became hot.

In his heart, he never forgot his daughter, but was covered up by confusion.

Looking at the oil cake, Qi Miao also had mixed feelings, and didn't know what attitude to use to face his father.

Is this what he promised that day?

She smiled astringently, "It turns out that I was so ignorant when I was a child, I forgot it, I haven't eaten this cake for many years, and I forgot what it tastes like." ”

Shen said with a smile, "You were only three years old at the time, just a doll, let's try it." ”

"Okay, let's eat together, let's taste it all." Qi Miao smiled and nodded, and then bowed specifically to Qi Zhengzhi, "There is a father." ”

Qi Zhengzhi wanted to say a few words of kindness and doting, but in the face of Qi Miao's alienated eyes, he swallowed the words.

Alas, Miao'er's heart knot has not yet been untied.

How can it be that you are so deeply injured that you want to unravel it with just a few words?

Qi Miao thought so in her heart.

The family divided the bread, and everyone ate happily.

The cake was very fragrant and crispy, and it was not greasy, but Qi Miao didn't think it was too delicious.

Maybe it's a different state of mind.

After eating bread and having dinner, the family said a few more words and then went back to their rooms to rest first.

Tomorrow when I go to the Rongzhao County Lord's Mansion for a banquet, I have to recuperate.

Qi Zhengzhi was unable to go because of something.

At first, Qi Miao planned to let him go, but then he came to apologize, and seeing that his mother wanted him to go, he had to reluctantly say it.

Now he can't go, which is what she wants.

Naturally, she wanted to take Qi Zhan there, and she hoped that her brother could communicate with people more.

A man is no better than a girl, he will have to support a family in the future, and his personality is too wooden and withdrawn, which is a manifestation of cowardice and incompetence.

In addition to their family, there is also Ma's.

The next day the weather was nice and sunny, and it was noticeably warmer than the previous days.

Just when Qi Miao, Shen and Qi Zhan were ready to go to Songhe Courtyard to call Ma, Zixiang hurriedly came.

"Third lady, fifth lady, the old lady may not be able to go." Zixiang's face was full of regret.

If Ma went to the county lord's mansion, he would definitely take her with him.

"What's wrong with Mother?" Shen asked.

"Alas, since last night, the old lady vomited and diarrhea, took some medicine and thought it would be fine in the morning, but after a night of trouble, the old lady is very weak now, and she doesn't even have the strength to speak." Zixiang replied.

Is this fate?

The corners of Qi Miao's eyes twitched twice.

A few of them went to Songhe Courtyard to visit Ma first.

Ma's face and lips were pale, and his eye sockets were sunken.

Qi Miao diagnosed and treated her, it should have been too greasy last night, and then she caught a cold when she was eating, so it became like this.

She was prescribed medicine and told to keep warm and rest.

Qi Miao and the three of them left first.

Alas, why don't I have that blessing in my old body?

If I had known that, I shouldn't have eaten those hooves.

Ma slammed the bed board hatefully, very annoyed.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it at this time, and the carriage Qi Miao and they took quickly arrived at the Rongzhao County Lord's Mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a maid dressed in palace clothes came up to greet him.

Qi Miao recognized that the maid was Rong Zhao's side.

The maid welcomed Qi Miao, Shen and Qi Zhan into the mansion.

Kankan entered the door and bypassed the shadow wall, and a strange and familiar figure immediately met her eyes.

In the eyes of that figure, she saw the clear and pure blue sky again. (To be continued......)
