Qi Miao gently held Shen's hand.

Mother's hands were a little cold.

I don't know if I was worried about Mrs. Li's illness or afraid of my grandfather's illness.

"Mother, what's wrong with my grandfather?" Qi Miao asked.

There was a look of hesitation on Shen's face.

After thinking about it seriously, she said solemnly, "It's madness, after getting sick, your grandfather not only didn't know his family, but also went crazy and hurt people.

Later, he killed a maid and wounded a few others, and in desperation, your grandmother and uncle sent their grandfather out of the house to recuperate, and the matter was kept very secret.

Miao'er, the real cause of my grandfather's illness, can't tell anyone, whether it's inside or outside the house.

Otherwise, not only will the face of our Anning Hou Mansion not look good, but it will also affect the future of you and your sisters. ”

The tragic situation when the maid died made her still creepy when she thought about it now.

"How can grandfather be crazy when he's so good?" Qi Miao frowned.

Speaking from the heart, she has blurred her grandfather's appearance, but she remembers his illness.

In her previous life, after she came back from Yanguan, she also asked her mother about her grandfather.

The mother's answer was the same as Fang Cai's.

Later, she accompanied her parents out of the house to visit her grandfather twice.

It's a pity that it's very unfortunate, when he went to his old man's house, he was sick, and she was scared back before she saw him.

Later, her mother was framed to death, she was in great pain, and soon after she married into the Xu family, she didn't even go back to her mother's house, let alone see him again.

But until she died, there was no news of him coming home from his illness, but neither did she hear of his death.

In this life, he accidentally obtained medical skills, maybe he can get his old man out of the sea of suffering.

"Miao'er, let's not talk about it, wait for you to rest for a few days, and my mother will take you out to play." Shen shifted the subject.

"Mother, I don't want to go out to play, just tell me the reason why my grandfather is sick, okay?" Qi Miao shook Shen's arm coquettishly.

But no matter how coquettish she begged, the Shen family no longer mentioned Qi Changxin.

Qi Miao was disappointed.

She really didn't know the reason for her grandfather's madness, she hadn't asked before, and she hadn't heard anyone else tell her.

I heard my grandfather occasionally talk about my grandfather's tough personality and not a susceptible person, what happened to him?

Her mother's attitude made her feel that this matter was very strange.

If it was a normal stimulus, she believed that her mother would tell her why.

Whether it's for my grandfather's sake, or for my own sake, I'm going to have to figure it out.

Ma was afraid of his grandfather.

If his grandfather is in good health, the Anning Hou Mansion will not allow the Ma family to mess around alone.

Qi Miao secretly made up her mind.

I came back faster than I went, and soon arrived at the Anning Hou Mansion.

Qi Miao and her mother got out of the carriage and happened to see Qi Zhengzhi coming out of another carriage.

He didn't see them, he was looking down at the box in his hand.

There seems to be a smile in the corner of his eye.

"San Lang." Shen called out and walked towards him with Qi Miao.

"Hui Niang, Miao'er!" Qi Zhengzhi raised his head in surprise, and subconsciously hid the box behind him.

Originally, Qi Miao and Shen were not interested in the contents of the box, but his move aroused their curiosity.

"San Lang, what are you holding in your hand?" Shen asked with a smile.

"An ordinary piece of jewelry, Hui Niang, how is Mrs. Li's condition?" Qi Zheng hurriedly changed the topic.

"Mrs. Li's condition is not something that can be said in a few words, I will tell you in detail when I go back, you are a dignified man, what are you doing with jewelry, show me." Shen was not fooled, and stretched out his hand to him with a smile.

Qi Zhengzhi handed the box to Shen very helplessly, and explained, "I bought the jewelry and gave it to ......."

However, before he finished speaking, Shen Shi had already opened it and exclaimed, "Ah, it's so beautiful, this is the jewelry of the Wanbao Golden Pavilion." San Lang, did you buy it specifically to give it to Miao'er? ”

Qi Miao knew that the Wanbao Golden Pavilion was the largest and best silver building in the capital.

The people who came and went in the silver building were all dignitaries and local tyrants and rich gentry, and ordinary people were discouraged.

She looked at the box, and inside was a set of gold box peony inlaid treasure jewelry, a total of eight pieces, including bracelets, hairpins, earrings, step rocks, etc.

All of them are exquisitely made, unique in shape, and valuable in value.

She is very familiar with this set of jewelry, in her previous life, it was a white lotus thing, which was given by her father.

For this reason, Bai Lian showed off to her many times in private, which annoyed her.

What she cares about is not jewelry, but her father's love for White Lotus.

However, she didn't know when her father gave this set of jewelry before, it turned out to be at this time.

Qi Zhengzhi swallowed back the second half of his words, not daring to mention it again.

He knew that if he said it, he would definitely make his wife sad.

Shen looked at Qi Miao and asked with a smile, "Miao'er, do you like it?" ”

The things in the Wanbao Golden Pavilion are good, but that's just other people's opinions, and Qi Miao doesn't care.

Her grandmother gave her enough jewelry to carry for several lifetimes, and she had all kinds of rare things.

Qi Miao smiled and nodded, "Well, I like it, it's so good-looking, I'll wear it during the Chinese New Year." ”

She looked at Qi Zhengzhi and said gratefully, "Thank you father for the gift." ”

If it was in a previous life, she would definitely shake her head disdainfully.

Qi Zhengzhi wanted to say no, but he couldn't.

He forced a smile and said against his will, "Silly girl, you still need to say thank you to your father, I haven't given you a gift since you went home, this is specially made up, you just like it." ”

After Bai Lian became a sensation at the poetry meeting, Qi Zhengzhi wanted to give her a gift.

Later, she was injured again, and he wanted to make up for it, so he spent a lot of money to customize this set of jewelry.

I wanted to give Bai Lian an unexpected surprise, but I didn't know that I fell into Qi Miao's hands halfway.

He thought that he could only customize another set for Bai Lian, and hoped that Qi Miao would not find the words engraved on the jewelry.

Looking at her father's hypocritical smiling face and words, Qi Miao didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

She knew her father's thoughts, but her mother didn't.

After returning to Begonia Garden, Shen took out the jewelry and asked Qi Miao to try it on.

What Shen cares about is not the jewelry itself, but her husband's heart for his daughter.

Qi Miao took the bracelet with a smile and rubbed it gently, showing love on her face.

"Mother, there are words engraved on it, look at it." Qi Miao handed the bracelet to her mother and pointed to a line of small letters on the back.

Shen took the bracelet and looked at the line carefully.

This line of words is the mark of the Wanbao Golden Pavilion, but now there is an extra lotus character.

It should have been specially engraved.

Shen's face suddenly became gloomy, and he threw the bracelet into the box heavily, and said to Qi Miao, "Miao'er, this jewelry style is ugly and not worthy of you, and my mother will customize a new one for you another day." ”

Thinking about Qi Zhengzhi's unnatural behavior before, and then with this lotus character, even if she was a fool, she could guess who this set of jewelry was originally intended for.

"Okay." Qi Miao nodded obediently and didn't say anything else.

In her previous life, when Bai Lian showed off, let her see the line of words, otherwise she wouldn't know.

She deliberately pointed it out to her mother, that is, to tear off her father's mask of hypocrisy.

"Mother Yun, send this set of jewelry to Linlang Pavilion, melt them and make some small jewelry again, which will be used to reward people in the future." Shen handed the entire box to Mother Yun.

Even if she knew Qi Zhengzhi's original intentions, she was not ready to fulfill him.

"Yes, ma'am, the slave will arrange it." Mother Yun took the box, and then retreated with the other little maids who were waiting.

There were only Shen and Qi Miao in the room.

Qi Miao said, "Mother, that whole set of jewelry costs a lot of silver, right?" ”

Shen nodded lightly, "At least two or three hundred taels." ”

"It's a lot of silver, isn't it a pity to melt?" Qi Miao pretended to be surprised.

"It's a pity, Miao'er, you don't look good when you wear it, stay and watch it." Shen was a little depressed.

"Mother, how much is my father's monthly salary?" Qi Miao suddenly changed the subject.
