Ximen Wuxian sighed: "Master Hou is polite. It's not a serious illness, it's just a muscle and bone problem, two years ago, I started to eat some herbs piecemeal, but there is no sign of improvement, every time the weather is hot, the pain worsens. ”

"Bones?" Qi Ning thought to himself that if someone suffers from diseases such as joint rheumatism, the more humid and cold the weather is, the pain will be exacerbated, but Ximen Wuxian is the hot weather will aggravate, and Ximen Wuxian is the top master of the rivers and lakes, and there are many kinds of injuries in the Shenhou Mansion, how can he be troubled by the disease of muscles and bones.

Ximen Wuxian seemed to see the doubts in Qi Ning's heart, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, when I was young, I became an obsessive martial artist and didn't know moderation, but whenever there is some novel kung fu, I always have to try." Up to now, I do know a lot of miscellaneous martial arts, and I can compare a few hands, and then I was on an errand in the Shenhou Mansion, went south and north, went to countless places, and went through countless fights, I didn't think so, and when I was older, the troubles accumulated back then began to appear. ”

Ximen Wuxian is strong in martial arts and erudite, Qi Ning thought to himself that it was because of his miscellaneous kung fu practice.

"Master Hou, there are lessons from the past, you will practice martial arts in the future, and you must not be greedy." Ximen Wuxian said: "No matter what kind of martial arts, concentrate on it and keep improving, you will always be able to make a difference." If you learn miscellaneously, not only will you not be able to reach the pinnacle, but you will leave troubles in the future. ”

Qi Ning arched his hand and said: "The teachings of the gods must be kept in mind. ”

Ximen Wuxian smiled slightly, didn't say much, and walked away slowly, Qi Ning thought for a while, and faintly felt that there was another mystery hidden in Ximen Wuji's words.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chief Manager Han hurried over with a worried look on his face: "Master Hou, the third lady..... The third lady is sick, and she has not eaten since yesterday until today. ”

Qi Ning was stunned and frowned.

The night before yesterday, Qi Ning spied on Gu Qinghan's orders to monitor his whereabouts, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart, his words were cold that night, Gu Qinghan left angrily, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion yesterday, Qi Ning never saw Gu Qinghan, but he didn't ask more.

When I came back today, I heard that Manager Han told me that Gu Qinghan was sick, but I was also a little worried in my heart.

He has always had a love for Gu Qinghan, and if it wasn't for that night, he would never have been dissatisfied with Gu Qinghan in the slightest.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that although Gu Qinghan was the third lady of the Jinyi Hou Mansion in front of people, an absolute imperial noblewoman, and almost everyone in the Jinyi Hou Mansion obeyed her, but in the eyes of the Tai Lady, Gu Qinghan was just a pawn manipulated at will.

Although the old woman stayed at home in the Buddha Hall, she completely controlled the Jinyi Marquis Mansion in her own hands.

Although the Gu family behind Gu Qinghan is also a male clan, in the eyes of the Jinyi Qi family, it is really nothing, and with the power of the Jinyi Qi family, it is really easy to collapse the Gu family.

Qi Ning knew that although Gu Qinghan was already the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, after all, she was born in the Gu family, and she always had to take into account the future of the Gu family, not to mention that now that the Gu family recommended her to move to the capital, it was under the nose of the Qi family, and it would be easier for Mrs. Tai to really want to do something to the Gu family.

As one of the four hereditary candidates of the empire and a family of military merits, the Jinyi Qi family has not accumulated profound strength for many years, even Qi Ning himself does not believe it.

Although Qi Jing has passed away, the Qi family seems to be about to weaken for a while, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Qi Ning never believed that the Jinyi Qi family was really in a desperate situation, he believed that the Jinyi Qi family still had deep strength in the government and the opposition, and the confidence of Mrs. Tai's speech that night was enough to prove this.

If she didn't have any strength in her hands, an old woman who was about to die, it was hard for Qi Ning to imagine that she would have the confidence to threaten Gu Qinghan.

Although he has inherited the title and knows some of the strength of the Qi family on the surface, after that night, Qi Ning is also more sure that the Jinyi Qi family still hides a lot from herself, at least there are many unknown powers The old woman did not tell herself.

"Did you call a doctor?" Qi Ning asked.

Mr. Han said: "I invited the doctor yesterday, but the third lady only said that it was okay and didn't see anyone, so I could only let the doctor go back." Seeing that the third lady had not left the courtyard today, the old slave went to the doctor again, but the third lady still turned him away. Master Hou, over the years, the affairs of the house have been supported by the third lady, she is a woman's family, and it is indeed difficult for her, maybe it is too hard these days, and the third lady is too tired to get sick, and if you are sick, you can't do it, but ..... But the old slave was also persuaded not to move, so it was better for the Hou Ye to go over and take a look. ”

Qi Ning groaned slightly, then nodded, and said, "You go and prepare some porridge, I will personally send it over and persuade her to eat some." ”

Manager Han hurriedly said: "Okay, Master Hou, the old slave will go and prepare." "Hurriedly retreat.

Qi Ning sighed lightly, pondered for a moment, and finally went to Gu Qinghan's courtyard.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that the far door was closed, Qi Ning raised his hand and tapped on the door, and soon a voice came from inside: "Who is it?" The third lady ordered, and no one could come in and disturb him. ”

"Open the door, I'm Qi Ning." Qi Ning said lightly.

"Yes..... It's Hou Ye! The courtyard seemed to hesitate, and it didn't take long for the courtyard door to open with a "creak", and Qi Ning saw that the girl who had been serving by Gu Qinghan's side showed her face, and when she saw Qi Ning, the maid hurriedly saluted: "Master Hou!" ”

Qi Ning didn't talk nonsense, pushed the door and was about to enter, but the maid had the courage to stop him, and said, "Master Hou, the third lady..... The third lady said that if she didn't see anyone, she would ...... Even if the Hou Ye came, he didn't see it. ”

"What's your name?"

The maid hurriedly said: "The slave is Bingqiao." ”

"The name that the Third Lady gave you?"

"Yes......!"

"Bingxue is smart, dexterous and obedient." Qi Ning said coldly: "The third lady gave you this name, and didn't explain the meaning to you?" Since Bing Xue is smart, doesn't he even know who the master of the Hou Mansion is? ”

Bingqiao lowered his head, not daring to say more.

Qi Ning didn't look at her, and went straight to the house, Bingqiao opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything after all, and watched Qi Ning enter the house.

When Qi Ning entered the house, he smelled the fragrance wafting in the house, in the past, smelling this faint fragrance, Qi Ning would inevitably be distracted, but at this time he was not in a very good mood, and he didn't have the heart to think about this, so he walked to the door, hesitated, and raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was no sound in the house, Qi Ning frowned, thinking that she was talking in the courtyard just now, Gu Qinghan must have heard it, and she naturally knew that it was she who knocked on the door now, so she deliberately didn't speak.

Qi Ning was not polite, pushed the door, fortunately the door was not bolted, pushed the door open, Qi Ning entered the house, the faint fragrance was even stronger, slowly walked into the house, looked at the bed, only to see the bed tent down, tulle covered, for a while I couldn't see the situation inside.

Qi Ning sighed lightly, walked slowly to the window, and saw Gu Qinghan's graceful delicate body lying inward through the thin light gauze tent, with undulating curves, beautiful.

"Sanniang." Qi Ning said softly: "I heard that you haven't eaten all this time and your body is not feeling well, why don't you see the doctor?" ”

Gu Qinghan seemed to be asleep, her delicate body didn't move, and she didn't say a word.

Qi Ning frowned, knowing that Gu Qinghan ignored herself, it was just because she was very cold to her the night before, and she couldn't help but think that you have been monitoring yourself, and you are at fault first.

"People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." Qi Ning opened the gauze tent slightly, the tent was pink, Gu Qinghan was lying on the bed like a beautiful snake, with a slender waist and short arms and jade arms, revealing delicate skin like white jade, "If you are uncomfortable, I will ask the doctor to come now, and let the doctor show you." ”

Gu Qinghan still didn't move, Qi Ning frowned slightly, knowing that Gu Qinghan obviously didn't intend to talk to him at all, he talked on the side for a day, Gu Qinghan might not pay attention to it, he was already dissatisfied with Gu Qinghan in his heart, at this time, his temper came up, he reached over, grabbed Gu Qinghan's white arm, and said, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Gu Qinghan was grabbed by his arm, and his delicate body reacted immediately, waved his arm violently, broke free, and sat up suddenly, his pretty face was full of anger, and his charming eyes were staring at Qi Ning coldly at this time, like a tigress who wants to eat people.

Her clothes were a little disheveled, perhaps because of the hot weather, there were beads of sweat oozing from her smooth and white forehead, and the green silk on her cheeks was sticky, if it weren't for the coldness, it was really charming and moving.

Qi Ning's face did not change, and he looked at Gu Qinghan with four eyes.

Gu Qinghan stared at Qi Ning for a moment, snorted coldly, turned around and was about to lie down again, but Qi Ning reached out to her arm, Gu Qinghan raised his hand again and opened Qi Ning's outstretched hand, and finally said coldly: "If you do it again, we will go to see Mrs. Tai immediately." ”

"Mrs. See?" As soon as Qi Ning heard the old woman, he was annoyed in his heart, and sneered: "What, do you think I'm afraid of her?" ”

"Of course you're not afraid." Gu Qinghan sneered: "You are not more important than before, you are the emperor's favored minister, you can do whatever you want, how can you care about others?" I went to see Mrs. Tai, just to let Mrs. Tai judge and see if you can do anything to me. ”

Qi Ning stared at Gu Qinghan's eyes and said lightly: "Comment? It turns out that Mrs. Tai hasn't commented on it yet, I just thought that you had said everything that should be said. ”

Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled, and her face changed color slightly, "You..... What did you say? What the..... What to say and what not to say? ”

"Mrs. Tai is the head of the family, and my brocade is just a façade." Qi Ning said lightly: "You are taking care of the affairs in the Hou Mansion, so naturally you should report every bit to Mrs. Tai." ”

What he said was ambiguous, Gu Qinghan bit his lip before he said, "Mrs. Tai worships Buddha all day long, naturally.... Naturally, I didn't have to worry about the things in the house. ”

"Really?" Qi Ning's tone was strange, staring at Gu Qinghan's eyes: "I always thought that Sanniang would report to Mrs. Tai in every detail, including my affairs." ”
