Chapter 151: Beloved Granddaughter

Looking at Huo Xiuying's distant back, Qi Haotian innocently covered the left side of his face that had been slapped by Huo Xiuying just now, and began to sigh about his miserable life again, thinking about his twenty-three years of experience, being disliked by his master, plotted by his senior brother, abandoned by his junior sister, played by Situ Youning, and threatened by an unknown girl... Thinking of this, the tip of Qi Haotian's nose instantly turned red.

"You are really getting bolder and bolder, you dare to touch your junior sister?"

"I didn't move her, I just wanted to hold her and comfort her, I haven't seen her for so long, she is more willful and spicy than before, and this is to blame on the person named Situ Yanyu."

Qi Haotian replied very calmly, and hugged his hands with an angry look, but in the next second, his face began to become very ugly, and he recalled the voice just now in his mind, and when the voice in the depths of his memory was matched with the voice just now, his whole person began to collapse.

"Big brother." Instead of turning his head to look at the man in the fuchsia coat standing behind him, he said hello and moved his stiff steps towards the door of the courtyard.

"Where do you want to go when my brother is so busy?"

The man's words made Qi Haotian stop in an instant, standing motionless in place, "Senior brother, don't I want to go and see my junior sister?" You see her sad like that..."

"That's good, since you care so much about your junior sister, can senior brother give you a task?"

The word 'mission', I don't know how many times Qi Haotian said it from his senior brother's mouth, he only knew that after the 'mission', his body and mind would be greatly harmed, he tried not to agree, but it turned out that he would be hurt more seriously.

Gritting his teeth, Qi Haotian kept calm and said, "I don't know what Senior Brother has to say." โ€

"Within a month, find out Situ Yanyu."

The man said this naturally with a smile, but Qi Haotian turned his head to look at the man in surprise, with an expression of 'you are not clearly playing with me', and it can be seen from the man's expression that the answer to his question is yes.

"Senior brother? Situ Yanyu he..."

"Senior brother, are you questioning my words?"

Facing the man's questioning, Qi Haotian instantly put aside all his emotions and shook his head vigorously to deny it.

"I handed over this task to you three years ago, and you haven't made any progress now, as a member of the Huo family, do you feel a little dereliction of duty?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"It's good that you know that." After the man finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared in front of Qi Haotian, Qi Haotian's face instantly became gloomy, and he stood pitifully motionless.

Last night's light rain made the morning air fresher than usual, and the garden was filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, which made Shiqian's mood feel a lot more relaxed.

Yesterday, without waiting for Feng Yumo, she made a bold decision, that is, to take refuge in Situ Mansion, although she didn't know very well what happened between the old lady of Huangpu Mansion and the old lady of Situ Mansion, but from the way the two of them fought together, it was not difficult for Shi Qian to guess that between the two of them, they had a deep resentment towards each other.

So Shiqian came to Situ Mansion, and as expected, when she claimed to be being chased and killed by Guan Mengqin, Zhang Lihua readily agreed to let her stay in Situ Mansion.

Looking at this quiet and harmonious courtyard full of flowers and plants, Shi Qian suddenly had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Ning'er, you run slower and be careful of falling."

"Ning'er, this is a handkerchief embroidered by grandma for you, don't let the nurse see your embarrassed appearance in the future."

"Ning'er, your brother..."

Looking at all this in front of her, Shiqian's mind suddenly appeared with the voice of an old woman, she closed her eyes, trying to see the face in her memory clearly, but the more she thought about it, the more blurred everything became.

"Miss Shixi?"

Xin'er's voice pulled Shiqian out of her memory struggle.

"Miss Xin'er, thank you for helping me inform the old lady yesterday." Shiqian said and saluted Xin'er.

Xin'er hurriedly helped Shiqian up, "Miss Shiqian, don't say that, those of us who are maids should take care of each other." โ€

Shi Qian nodded lightly and looked at the chrysanthemums in the courtyard, "When did Miss Xin'er enter the Situ Mansion?" โ€

"Ten years ago."

"The people of Situ Mansion must be very kind to you, right? I always felt that the old lady was a very kind person. โ€

"When I came here, there was only the old lady in Situ's mansion, and everyone else went to Chang'an." Xin'er said and followed Shi Qian's line of sight and looked at the chrysanthemums in the yard, "I heard that Miss likes chrysanthemums very much, so the old lady asked people to plant a lot of chrysanthemums in the mansion, every autumn, the entire Situ Mansion seems to be surrounded by bright flowers, very beautiful, right?" โ€

"Hmmm... It's really beautiful," Shi Qian said and nodded, trying to remember some memories of Zhang Lihua, "The old lady must like Miss Situ very much, right?" โ€

โ€œยทยทยทโ€ Xin'er didn't answer Shiqian's words, and remained silent, about Zhang Lihua's anger at the mention of Situ Youning, Xin'er felt that it was better not to let outsiders know, even Xin'er felt very strange, since Zhang Lihua hated Situ Youning so much, why didn't she let people pull out all the flowers that had been planted for her? And from time to time, Xin'er would see Zhang Lihua alone looking at these chrysanthemums in a daze, and sometimes she seemed to be able to see Zhang Lihua's eyes with tears.

Xin'er didn't answer her words, and Shiqian didn't ask any more questions.

"Third Young Master..." The sound of the maid outside the courtyard interrupted Xin'er and Shiqian's thoughts at the same time.

"Miss Shiqian, these are the breakfast prepared by the kitchen, you can enjoy it slowly." Xin'er said and pointed to the plate on the table.

"There's Miss Lao Xin'er."

After Xin'er left, Shiqian glanced at the breakfast on the table, and after hesitating, she picked up the pastry and ran out of the yard.

"Feng Yumo! Where did you hide Gu Yu'er?! โ€

"Shaoqi, you calm down."

"Situ Shaoqi, Gu Yu'er is not seen in Situ Mansion, I haven't even asked about your responsibility, but you are here to ask me?" Feng Yumo said with some displeasure, if it weren't for accompanying Liu Che over, he wouldn't have thought of coming to Situ Mansion, every time he met Situ Shaoqi in the past three years, the atmosphere between the two was very tense.

"Who are you to question me?"

"Situ Shaoqi, no matter what, the entire Han people know that Situ Youning is my wife, and I am not qualified?"

"You!"

"You both calm down." Liu Che simply stood between the two, looked at his former two teachers helplessly, and sighed, "I plan to return to Chang'an in two days." โ€

"No."

Situ Shaoqi's short two words made the atmosphere of the scene a little awkward, Liu Che frowned slightly, he was not angry, but he didn't know how to continue, at this moment, there was a sound not far away, and when the three of them looked there with serious eyes, they found that in the lake not far away, there was a struggling figure.

After glancing at each other, Liu Che reluctantly stepped forward to rescue Shiqian who had fallen into the water.

"Girl, are you alright?"

"Ahem... It's okay, thank you. Shi Qian said and raised her head to look at Liu Che.

At the moment when Shi Qian raised her head to look at Liu Che, Liu Che's eyes widened, and he was stunned in place and motionless, the hand that was about to let go of Shi Qian's arm pulled Shi Qian's hand back and held it tightly in his palm.

"Childe?" Shiqian tried to break free, but in vain.

Seeing this situation, Feng Yumo and Situ Shaoqi began to care about the situation here, and just when the two wanted to come over, Liu Che came back to his senses and let go of Shi Qian's hand.
