Chapter 168: Motivation
Qi Miao stood in front of the window, watching the snowflakes flutter and fall.
It was clear that he was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep.
There was a bit of confusion in my head.
The candle flame flickered and shimmered, stretching her shadow long, long.
Qin Si gently pushed the door in.
Qi Miao turned her head sideways and asked her, "Did the two fight?" ”
A few people in the house heard the sound of broken bowls downstairs, and she instinctively wanted to go out to take a look, a little worried that Ji Mo would argue with Shijin.
But Baosheng and Chun'er didn't allow her to go out.
The two of them are not blind, when they were eating downstairs before, they felt that the smell of gunpowder between Ji Mo and Shijin was extremely strong, and it would ignite and explode at any time.
Those two people didn't look like they were easy to mess with, and they didn't dare to let their own young lady get involved.
Qi Miao had no choice but to let Qin Si take a look, and come back to tell her something.
Facing Qi Miao's inquiry, Qin Si shook her head lightly and frowned.
She kept thinking about the conversation between Ji Mo and the two of them.
Unexpectedly, ten catties turned out to be Luo Ziqing, and looking at his extremely hateful appearance of the surname Luo, he is very likely to be Luo Ziqing, the eldest son of King Chengnan, rather than someone else.
Judging by his overly intimate attitude towards Miao'er, he must have other thoughts about Miao'er.
If he is really that Luo Ziqing, his situation and reputation will be very embarrassing at the moment, and it is better for Miao'er to stay away from him.
Last time, Miao'er asked who Luo Ziqing was, and I don't know what the inside story is?
Shall I tell her everything she has just heard and seen?
Qin Si was a little undecided.
"Then why do you look like you're on your mind?" Qi Miao asked.
"Oh, no." Qin Si decided not to say the true identity of Ten Jin for the time being. Wait until she thinks it through before deciding whether to talk about it or not.
"Really?" Qi Miao didn't believe it, and asked again.
"Not really, it's not early. Let's sleep. Qin Si raised the corners of her lips and smiled, and changed the topic.
Qi Miao saw that Qin Si didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more.
She closed the window and lay on the bed with Qin Si.
"By the way, Sister Qin Si, have you been to see your senior brother recently?" Qi Miao thought of this, so she asked with concern.
Mention the senior brother. Qin Si's expression suddenly became lonely.
She sighed and nodded, "Last time, I picked up the Bai family to Beijing. I happened to pass by Lin San Temple, and I went to look for him once. He was still indifferent to me, saying that he didn't know me, and he was very ruthless.
Alas. They all blame me for myself. Why bother to ask for trouble, it's stupid. ”
She smiled.
The smile was bitter and sour.
Seeing the hearty and lively Qin Si sad and painful for love, Qi Miao felt uncomfortable.
She knows that the most hurtful thing in the world is love.
Family, love and friendship, these three emotions can be hurtful and invisible, and sometimes it may be just a word, a look, and a simple action. It's going to hurt you to the ground.
She knows this very well. That's how her father treated her.
Qi Miao thought about it seriously, and asked Qin Si with a solemn face, "Sister Qin Si, there is a sentence, in fact, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have never been embarrassed to use you." ”
"Ask, do you and I still need to be separated like this?" Qin Si glared at her fiercely.
"Hmm." Qi Miao nodded, "Sister Qin Si, I may not like what I say, don't mind." I just want to know, if you are so affectionate to your senior brother, how did he treat you when he didn't leave you? ”
If he had been affectionate to Qin Si before, then Qin Si would still have a reason to persevere.
Otherwise, then she would persuade Qin Si to give up.
When he was still a free body before, he was ruthless to her, not to mention that now he has become a monk, so don't expect him to be affectionate and attentive to Qin Si, then Qin Si can no longer insist.
Otherwise, it would only be Qin Si himself who would be hurt in the end.
She wouldn't just watch Qin Si get hurt and ignore it.
The corners of Qin Si's lips pursed slightly, and she replied, "I understand what you mean, Miao'er, you are worried that I am wishful thinking, if so, you will persuade me to give up, right?" ”
Qi Miao nodded, not denying her thoughts.
Qin Si took a deep breath and said, "When Senior Brother didn't leave the master's door back then, he fell in love with me, and I exchanged love tokens with him, and the master knew about it.
At that time, the senior brother also told me that when he had saved enough money, he would go and propose to the master......"
Speaking of the sweet past with her senior brother back then, Qin Si's pale face finally had a color.
A smile slowly overflowed from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Sister Qin Si really likes her senior brother!
Qi Miao thought so.
Since the two of them are like-minded and are about to talk about marriage, what is the reason for the senior brother to renegade his original promise to Qin Si and become a monk?
The identity of a monk is also the biggest obstacle to his renewal with Qin Si.
No, I must help Sister Qin Si once, she has helped so much, I should also help her.
Qi Miao secretly made up her mind.
As for how to help, she had to think about it.
The night was very quiet, listening to the sound of snow falling outside the window, Qi Miao gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, she pushed open the window.
The snow is still falling, but it's much smaller.
Chenzhou Mansion is shrouded in white snow, like a noble lady wearing a white thick mink fur, although it is beautiful, it is cold inside and out.
After breakfast, Qi Miao wanted to go to the Water Inn to have a look.
Yesterday was a little late, and I didn't see anything.
However, with so much snow falling, the ruined inn may have been completely covered by snow, and there is almost no chance of finding clues.
You can ask the people around you to see if there are any clues about the abnormality.
After that, I went to the mansion of Chenzhou Mansion, and the Bai family and the four mothers-in-law were still there.
After arranging today's itinerary, Qi Miao and the others packed their luggage.
The luggage was very simple, but in a quarter of an hour, it was all packed, and the four of them were still dressed in men's clothes.
As soon as Chun'er opened the door, she found Ji Mo wandering outside the door with his hands behind his back.
Looking at him like this, he should have been here for a while. I just didn't knock on the door.
"This ...... This man, what is the matter with you? Chun'er asked.
She didn't know Ji Mo's true identity, so she could only call him Ye.
Ji Mo crossed the top of Chun'er's head. Looking at Qi Miao, her jade-like eyes were deep and distant.
He asked her gently, "Are you going to leave?" ”
"Hmm." Qi Miao nodded slightly.
"I have a few words I want to say to you, and it's never too late to leave after listening to my words." Ji Mo said.
Seeing his righteous and serious expression, Qi Miao did not refuse.
Thinking that he might really have something important to say.
Ji Mo calmly entered the room and sat down at the table.
The slender jade-like fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and asked Qi Miao sideways. "Did you come to Chenzhou Mansion this time because of the death of Bailian's mother and daughter?"
Since the meeting last night, Qi Miao has not clearly stated the purpose of this trip.
He wanted to confirm.
"Yes." Qi Miao did not deny it. But she still asked him suspiciously, "I don't know what the Nine Princes are doing here?" And how did you know about the White Lotus Mother and Daughter? ”
Did he come here specifically for this?
The thought crossed her mind.
But she quickly shook her head in denial.
Judging by his appearance, he should not know Bai Lian's mother and daughter, and it is impossible for him to come for them. Something should be passing by here. He happened to know that something was going on there, so he went and checked.
Ji Mo lowered his eyes slightly.
Originally, he wanted to nod and tell Qi Miao that he had come to Yunzhou Mansion for this purpose.
Hearing about this incident, he also felt that this incident was a bit strange, and he was worried that Bai Lian's mother and daughter's fraudulent death would leave Qi Miao with trouble.
If that were the case, he wouldn't mind giving them both a ride.
But he thought of Luo Ziqing.
He replied, "I happened to come to Chenzhou on business. When I heard about it, I went there to take a look when I was bored. I didn't expect to meet you. ”
This explanation is also reasonable, and coincides with Qi Miao's thoughts.
She didn't doubt it, and nodded in disbelief.
It should be said that she never believed that Ji Mo would help her.
Even if he helps, it must be an ulterior motive, not sincere.
All in all, Qi Miao didn't trust Ji Mo, and he didn't believe that he had such a great charm that would make him do his best to help.
"I don't know what the Nine Princes have to teach you?" Qi Miao got to the point, not wanting to say anything more to him.
"If I'm not mistaken, you'll definitely go to that inn again today, won't you?" Ji Mo asked.
Qi Miao's detachment and indifference, he was used to it.
"Yes." Qi Miao nodded again in acknowledgement.
"Go now, the ruins should be buried in the snow, and you won't find anything.
I'm going to tell you some of the news that I know, and maybe it will help you so that you don't have to go there again. Ji Mo said.
Is he helping me?
But what was his reason for helping me?
Yes, it must be for the sake of those remnants, his demeanor is becoming more and more obvious.
Qi Miao thought in surprise, and then instinctively doubted his motives.
If Ji Mo knew what she was thinking at the moment, he would definitely vomit blood and die.
He went to great lengths to come from the capital, just to help her get some useful information, and she was not grateful, but she was still suspicious there.
If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and it's self-defeating.
is exactly the current Ji Mo.
He thought that taking the initiative to approach and care for Qi Miao would make her grateful to him, and then deepen the relationship between the two.
But he forgot that being kind to someone for no reason not only does not make the other person grateful, but makes people afraid, and then he will avoid alienation, and finally drift away.
Ji Mo thought he had done a good job, but in fact he was in a mess.
In short, this incident was a tragedy for him.
Ji Mo continued, "The inn that walks the water is a bungalow, without a second floor, the conditions are much worse than this one, the room is small and old, and there is no charcoal basin in the house.
Yao's mother and daughter were in the middle of the second watch, the fire was very urgent and fierce, and the inn was originally a wooden house, and when people found out and came to help, the house was almost completely destroyed.
I looked at the ruins, and the room that burned the most was the same room where Yao's mother and daughter lived that night, and the servants also found two charred bodies in that room.
I can't see my face clearly, my body shape is very similar to them, and both of them have a jade bracelet on their wrists, which is recognized by your mother-in-law and son-in-law, and it is indeed something that Yao's mother and daughter have been wearing closely. ”
The house where Bai Lian's mother and daughter lived burned the most, and it is very likely that this is the source of the fire.
So why does the good one catch fire?
Was it because their mother and daughter were disheartened and wanted to die and let themselves go, or was it an accident?
Qi Miao's brows tightened, and she said what she thought, wanting to hear Ji Mo's thoughts. (To be continued......)
