Qi Qi's clan relatives were still pestering Qi Qi, and when they saw Rong Yan and the others coming, they and Qi Qi were at a stalemate for a while.

The clan relatives paused for a while before they looked at Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling, and said with a little disdain for a long time, "How can any cat or dog enter the Qi Mansion now?" Maybe that's what it is, it stinks?"

Rong Yan was very dissatisfied with his contemptuous tone, but he didn't have enough strength now, and he couldn't vent his emotions wantonly, so he had to clench his fists and endure it for the time being.

Qi Qi was also very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, and simply didn't give him a good look, "Uncle Shi, since you look down on my Qi Mansion so much, then please go out of this door and don't send it slowly." "

Qi Qi said, and made a gesture of invitation to the other party.

Then Qi Qi's gaze turned to Rong Yan again, "Mr. Rong, you follow my little guy to get the spirit grass." "

Qi Qi said, then beckoned again, and the little guy behind him came out immediately, and said to Rong Yan respectfully, "Mr. Rong, please follow me." "

When the clan member saw Qi Qi actually treating him like air, the anger in his heart suddenly surged again. "What is your attitude, boy? Is that what you say to your elders?"

"Uncle Shi, I have already said that I can't satisfy you for the purpose of your coming here, it is you who insist on staying, even if this is the case, you are still finding fault with the master's family, it is a little too rude." Qi Qi's voice at this time was completely different from the gentleness when he spoke to Rong Yan just now, and it was like being full of ice slag, it was full of coldness, and he didn't intend to save face for that clan relative at all.

After that, Qi Qi turned his head to Zhao Yunling and said, "I'm fine now, you might as well go with me to sit in the front pavilion and wait for Mr. Rong to bring the fairy grass." "

Qi Qi's voice changed to the previous very gentle appearance again.

The clan relative was so angry that Qi Qi was so angry that he wanted to leave, but he was pulled by an old slave behind him.

The clan relatives glanced back with some confusion, but saw that the old slave had been signaling with his eyes that there was something between Qi Qi and Zhao Yunling.

The parent didn't believe it, but when he saw Zhao Yunling's dusty appearance and Qi Qi's warm eyes, he suddenly believed it again.

But the clan relatives were all treated coldly by Qi Qi, so it was naturally impossible for him to be sarcastic, so he motioned to the old slave to do this with his eyes.

When the old slave received the look, he immediately said with kindness, "Qi Gongzi, you are really good to this girl, can you be so gentle to her brother and also love the house and Wu?"

The old slave deliberately misinterpreted the relationship between Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan, and sure enough, Zhao Yunling retorted with a displeased face, "The one just now is my husband, not my brother, and the relationship between me and Qi Gongzi is just a cooperative relationship." "

"Tsk, so that's the case, but madam, you take Qi Gongzi as a partner, I think this Qi Gongzi has impure motives for you." The old slave deliberately looked at Qi Qi with a playful and inquiring look.

Qi Qi was really angered by his actions, and he was not moved in the slightest under the ridicule of his clan relatives, and he also frowned at this time, and looked at the old slave with a displeased face, but he still didn't say a word.

The old slave still looked very comfortable under his gaze, and he was sure that Qi Qi would not open his mouth to reprimand him, nor would he punish him.

Because sometimes, the overreaction is often just a desire to cover up. Regardless of whether Qi Qi really had impure motives for Zhao Yunling, as long as he got angry and made a move, then this matter would become a certainty, and no one's face would look good. But if he doesn't do it, then he'll have to sulk himself.

Yes, his purpose was achieved.

Just when the clan relatives saw this scene, they were secretly refreshed in their hearts, and at the same time they planned to reward the old slave, but suddenly a group of small servants came and forcibly "invited" the old slave out.

"Qi Qi, what are you doing, you are just worried about other people's married women, you are shameless!" The old slave shouted reluctantly before he was taken away, but his mouth was quickly gagged.

Zhao Yunling didn't see any movement from Qi Qi just now, it was a little strange when the old slave was taken away, but the person who shot it soon appeared by himself.

"Brother." Qi Jiu walked in front of Qi Qi and saluted Zhao Yunling.

When Qi Qi saw his sister, his unhappy expression suddenly disappeared, "You did that just now?"

Qi Jiu nodded very calmly, "Yes, what he said is simply hateful, I really can't stand it." "

Qi Jiu said, and said to Zhao Yunling with some apologies, "Don't take what they said just now, they just can't achieve their goal, and they deliberately want to discredit my brother." "

Qi Jiu said, and glanced back at the clan.

Zhao Yunling naturally nodded to indicate that he understood. The whole book

Seeing this, Qi Jiu leaned into Zhao Yunling's ear and whispered, "Look at those clan relatives over there, they all see that my brother and I are young, and that our Qi Mansion is rich, so they came to bully us, don't mind, don't take their words seriously." "

Zhao Yunling had a good impression of Qi Jiu since he first saw Qi Jiu, and when he heard her say this, he didn't think that she was willful before, but only that she was a child, and for a while Qi Jiu smiled more gently, "I know, there is nothing between me and your brother." "

Seeing this, Qi Qi smiled at Zhao Yunling again, "The lotus flowers in the lotus pond in Fushang have been blooming well recently, so it's better to go for a walk together." "

At this moment, another voice came from nowhere, "I heard that the lotus flowers in the Qi Mansion are not looked down upon by outsiders, and Gongzi Qi really doesn't treat this lady as an outsider." Sure enough, the rumors that Qi Gongzi had a bad character are not all lies. "

Hearing this, Qi Qi couldn't help frowning again, and then when he was about to speed up his pace to the lotus pond, he was pulled back by Zhao Yunling.

Qi Qi looked at Zhao Yunling a little strangely, but saw Zhao Yunling walking towards the person who spoke, and his tone was very unkind, "You are also a Qi Mansion clansman?"

The man didn't know what Zhao Yunling meant by asking this, so he didn't know what to say, "That's natural." "

Zhao Yunling sneered, "When I saw you, I realized that it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, and this is all a lie." After all, the gap between Qi Gongzi and someone like you who can only chew the root of his tongue and make up stories, but can't even be called a long-tongued woman, is too big. ”

When the man heard this, he was immediately angry, "What do you mean by this, and here is a place for you to speak?" Qi Gongzi didn't speak, you just spoke first, what kind of thing are you? ”

"I don't know if I'm something, but I know, but you must not be something. I don't know what you asked for when you came to the Qi Mansion, but I know that with your attitude, if I were the son of Qi, I would definitely not agree to anything. ”

Zhao Yunling's tone was cold, the man wanted to be angry when he heard her say this, but when he saw Zhao Yunling like this, his momentum was shortened, so he didn't dare to speak out again.

"You are a guest, Qi Gongzi is the host, and he treats you politely, but it doesn't mean that you can talk nonsense and insult others, you are fair, do you think about what you said?" When Zhao Yunling said this, he had already approached the man's body.

"I ......" The man was intimidated by Zhao Yunling's momentum, and he couldn't say anything for a while, and was forced back a few steps by Zhao Yunling.

Zhao Yunling was still staring at him with that stern look, he couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have tarnished the reputation of Qi Gongzi by talking nonsense." ”

After the man finished speaking, he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so he left in disgrace, and the clan relative who had let the old slave spread rumors about the matter between Qi Qi and Zhao Yunling also left in shame when he saw this.

Seeing this, Qi Qi also showed a happy smile, "Madam, it was really thanks to you just now, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with them." ”

Zhao Yunling waved his hand, "It's just a gesture, no need to thank you." But I'm very curious about the lotus pond of Qi Gongzi's house, why can't outsiders see it? ”

"You said this," Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, but quickly said again, "Actually, it's nothing, if the lotus pond aura is quite strong, it has attracted many people to come to the door and want to see this lotus pond." I was annoyed, and then I claimed that except for the people in the house, no one could enter, and it was just a moment of urgency, so I said this, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by them. ”

Zhao Yunling nodded, "That's what it looks like." “

"What about you? Why would you want to speak for me? Qi Qi's eyes hid an imperceptible expectation.

Zhao Yunling didn't see me, he didn't notice his expectation, or maybe it was because this expectation was hidden too deeply, even Qi Qi himself didn't notice it, and Zhao Yunling wouldn't think of it, so he didn't notice it.

"Me? Qi Gongzi, didn't you help me before? I think you and your sister have very good character, and seeing that they talk so excessively, I want to help you. Zhao Yunling looked as she should have - she really regarded Qi Qi as a friend.

"That's the case......" Qi Qi's voice suddenly lowered, but Zhao Yunling didn't notice it.

At this time, Rong Yan also finished taking the spirit grass and came over.

As soon as Zhao Yunling saw the sky, he said to Qi Qi, "It's not too early now, we have to prepare some things after we go back, so we will leave first." ”

Rong Yan also said goodbye to Qi Qi. Qi Qi didn't stop them, but just let the little guy send them out.

On the carriage back, Rong Yan also asked Zhao Yunling about the follow-up of that clan, and Zhao Yunling told him the matter in detail, but he didn't expect that the more Rong Yan listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

"Rong Yan, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yunling asked a little strangely.

Rong Yan shook his head, "I'm fine, I just think this Qi Gongzi is a little strange." ”

"What's strange?" Zhao Yunling was very puzzled.

"Don't you think he treats you strangely? I always felt that his motives for you were not pure. Rong Yan said seriously.
