Chapter 58: The Horizontal Knife

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know much about Li's past, so she didn't know what kind of sadness was in her eyes.

After sending Yi Qi Wanxi back to the pavilion, the Li family left.

Yi Qi stood at the door, watching the Li family slowly walk away with the maidservant. It wasn't until the light of the lantern in the handmaid's hand gradually melted into the night that Yi Qi Wanxi withdrew her gaze and closed the door.

It snowed heavily in the night, and the north wind howled wantonly in the night, rushing into the unclosed window of Yi Qi Wanxi's room, hitting Yi Qi Wanxi's bed curtain, trying to sneak in.

In the night, Yi Qi opened her eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, and the tears swirling in her eyes slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Yi Qi Wanxi only wept silently, and after a long time, she murmured: "The vine grass ......"

In the early morning of the same day, Yi Qi Wanxi went to ask Yi Qi Mingzhi and the Wang family to say goodbye, and met Yi Qi vine grass on the road.

"Third sister." Yi Qi Mancao called her sweetly, and her smile was still bright, like the morning sun, which made people feel warm.

But Yi Qi thought of last night's dream, and he didn't feel that smile was warm, but a little fear rose in his heart. Fearful in his heart, he smiled and nodded at her in response.

"Third Miss." The maidservant beside Yi Qi Mancao blessed Yi Qi Wanxi and called her respectfully.

Yi Qi Wanxi only nodded her head in response and did not speak.

"Third sister." Yi Qi Mancao and Yi Qi Wanxi walked side by side, slightly tilting their heads to look at her side face, "Your face doesn't look very good." ”

"I didn't get a good night's rest last night." Yi Qi Wanxi didn't look at her either, and replied simply.

"Why haven't you rested well?" Yi Qi Mancao frowned slightly and thought about something, and then raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Third sister, I have sandalwood, sleep aid, if you want it, I will let Yiyun send you some." ”

"No need." Yi Qi smiled slightly, "Thank you." ”

"Huh?" Yi Qi Mancao's eyes widened slightly, and then he smiled a little puzzled, "Mine is yours of the third sister, why should you be polite to me, third sister." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't want Yi Qi to think too much, so she glanced at her with a light smile and explained, "I'm used to it." ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi Mancao chuckled lightly and said, "Yes, after all, the third sister has been in the UK for five years. Alone in a foreign country without relatives, you have to look at people's faces everywhere, right? ”

I don't understand why Yi Qi Mancao said this, and Yi Qi Wanxi has no intention of answering.

"But I don't understand why my father didn't let me go with the third sister in the first place." Yi Qi Mancao said, bowing his head slightly and looking at the road at the bottom of his feet, "In my father's mind, I really can't compare to the third sister." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi frowned slightly, and her tone was soft: "Daddy treats us equally, you have a lot of heart."

The new snow on the stone pavement is paved with another layer, and with each step, a footprint falls on the snow. The morning air is very cold, and with a light breath, a cloud of white air will slowly pass away in the air.

"I know." Yi Qi Mancao chuckled, "The third sister is here to comfort me, and the third sister has always been very good at comforting people." ”

Listening to Yi Qi Mancao's words, Yi Qi Wanxi remembered last night's dream again, and her heart couldn't help but twitch, only for a moment, but it was painful.

"No matter what it is, my father will think of the third sister first, and he will first consider the feelings of the third sister, and I only have to follow behind the third sister." Yi Qi Mancao's tone slowly softened, "It seems that as long as the third sister is here, I don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

Yi Qi Mancao's tone made Yi Qi Wanxi feel faintly uneasy in her heart. She didn't understand the intention of what Yi Qi Mancao said, she only felt that Yi Qi Mancao was no longer as beautiful as she remembered.

"All the things that my father thinks the third sister needs will be personally given to the third sister, and I, as long as I have to follow the third sister, can only pick up the things that the third sister has lost." Yi Qi Mancao said, chuckling self-deprecatingly, "I didn't understand why, but then I understood. ”

Halfway through his words, Yi Qi stopped suddenly. Yi Qi looked at her with some curiosity and met her smiling eyes.

Yi Qi Mancao showed a sweet smile, and her tone was very relaxed: "Because, you are a sister."

The morning breeze blew away the bangs of Yi Qi's vines and eyebrows, slightly stirring the ends of her braided hair. She smiled cutely, but it made Yi Qi feel cold. Yi Qi Mancao's tone, like the morning breeze, was gentle but cold and piercing.

"But ......" Yi Qi Mancao took her eyes off Yi Qi Wanxi and looked ahead, "I don't want what my sister doesn't want, I want what my sister also cherishes." ”

Yi Qi's heart ached, and she looked at Yi Qi vine grass with some horror.

Feeling her gaze, Yi Qi Mancao turned her head to look at her, but with a relaxed smile, she said, "I was just joking, I didn't expect to scare you, third sister."

Hearing this, Yi Qi pulled the corners of her mouth, showed a smile, and then looked at the road ahead, recalling last night's dream in her mind.

In the dream, Yi Qi Mancao stabbed a dagger into Yi Qi Wanxi's heart, cutting her flesh and blood little by little, smiling with a lovely smile, but with murderous intent in her eyes, she said, "I want, third sister, what you cherish."

In the dream, Yi Qi Wanxi didn't feel pain, but at this time, Yi Qi Wanxi's heart was like a knife.

After asking for peace, Yi Qi Mancao went to school, and Yi Qi Wanxi was taken out by Yi Qi Mingzhi.

In the car, Yi Qi Mingzhi saw that Yi Qi Wanxi was worried, so he asked her, "Wanxi, do you have something on your mind?"

"Daddy......" Yi Qi was silent for a moment before speaking again, "My daughter thinks it's better for my daughter not to stay in Shanghai." ”

"But you've just come back." Yi Qi Mingzhi smiled kindly, "And the ancestral business of the family is still waiting for you to inherit." ”

"My daughter is just a woman...... "Yi Qi Wanxi's face appeared in Yi Qi's mind again, and she couldn't help but shudder secretly, and didn't say what she wanted to say.

Yi Qi Mingzhi laughed out loud and said, "What happened to the female stream these days."

"Not really." Knowing that Yi Qi Mingzhi has always been open-minded, Yi Qi Wanxi is not easy to say anything to him. If I continue to talk about it, I am afraid that I will also express my concerns.

"You, just be happy." Yi Qi Mingzhi said, and gently patted Yi Qi's thin shoulder, "Don't think about it." ”

Now, Yi Qi Mingzhi is most afraid that Yi Qi will think too much. Yi Qi Wanxi is the heir he has cultivated, and he will not let her be ruined.

Looking at Yi Qi Mingzhi, who had an amiable face, Yi Qi said cautiously: "Daddy, she ...... the vines"

"What's wrong with the vines? Did it make you angry again? Without waiting for Yi Qi Wanxi to answer, Yi Qi Mingzhi snorted lightly, "That guy, I don't know the severity, and he causes trouble every day." ”

Realizing that Yi Qi Mingzhi had misunderstood something, Yi Qi hurriedly explained: "No. The daughter just thinks that the father can pay more attention to the vines. Seeing that Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at him with some puzzlement, Yi Qi said gracefully, "After all, my daughter's health is not very good now. After speaking, he slowly lowered his head.

Yi Qi Mingzhi's heart suddenly twitched, and then patted Yi Qi Wanxi's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't think about it."

In the morning, Yi Qi Wanxi accompanied Yi Qi Mingzhi to meet the guests who asked Yi Qi Mingzhi. After lunch, I accompanied Yi Qi Mingzhi to deal with some business in the afternoon.

"Wanxi." After dealing with business, standing at the dock, Yi Qi Mingzhi said to Yi Qi Wanxi, "I was here to see you on the boat five years ago, and I still remember that you didn't cry at that time." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi only smiled lightly, did not reply, and heard Yi Qi Mingzhi's voice again.

"That's why I've always felt that you're comparable to a man." Yi Qi Mingzhi moved his gaze to Yi Qi Wanxi, and said earnestly, "You must not live up to your father's expectations of you. ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi's face appeared in Yi Qiwan's mind again, and her heart ached, but she smiled calmly: "My daughter remembers."

"Our family, you can also entrust you with important tasks." Yi Qi Mingzhi said, looking into the distance.

Yi Qi looked in the direction that Yi Qi Mingzhi was looking, and the wind blew, causing her to squint slightly.

Yi Qiyang and Yi Qizang have both joined the army, Yi Qi vine grass is not yet mature, and it seems that he is the only one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility in the family.

Thinking like this, Yi Qi Wanxi felt a little guilty in her heart. If you leave everything behind, you are indeed very irresponsible.

"The grass will grow." Yi Qi smiled lightly, "She will do better than her daughter." ”

"Hmph." Yi Qi Mingzhi snorted lightly, but it scared Yi Qi Wanxi.

Yi Qi looked at Yi Qi Mingzhi, who was suddenly a little angry, frowned slightly, and called him tentatively: "Daddy?"

"She does do a better job than you." Yi Qi Mingzhi's eyelids sank slightly, and his gaze was much sharper, "I'm thinking about getting married now." ”

"Married?" Yi Qi was stunned for a moment, remembering that Yi Qi Mancao said that no one wanted to marry except Sinan.

But she remembered that Sinan was already with Chen Ru, so she thought: Could it be that during her absence, Sinan changed her mind?

"You said vines, she was the one who should have been married, and she was the one who was clamoring to get out of the marriage, and now she is the one who wants to marry someone else." Yi Qi Mingzhi said, and snorted again, "What nonsense." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi thought in her heart that there was only one marriage with Yi Qi Mancao, but it was just a marriage with Si Yu. But Yi Qi Wanxi didn't want to believe it, and she couldn't believe it, so she pretended not to understand, and asked Yi Qi Mingzhi with a smile: "What about the marriage?"

Thinking that Yi Qi Wanxi didn't remember, Yi Qi Mingzhi said: "It's the marriage between Mancao and Si Yu."

"Oh......" Yi Qi Wanxi only felt a pain in her heart for a while, but she pretended to be calm and asked with a light smile, "Why did Mancao suddenly remember to marry ...... Si Yu? ”

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't want to say Si Yu's name, but she didn't want Yi Qi Mingzhi to worry about herself, so she only hesitated for two seconds. From beginning to end, there was nothing unusual in tone and expression.

She didn't look abnormal, and the two seconds she hesitated before saying Si Yu's name seemed to Yi Qi Mingzhi as if she was thinking about Si Yu's name.

"I don't know what she's thinking, she figured out what she suddenly said to me last night." Yi Qi Mingzhi said, looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, and wanted to ask her something, but she looked too calm, Yi Qi Mingzhi couldn't help but worry, so he said with some hesitation: "But I heard your second mother say that you and Si Yu ......."

Guessing what Yi Qi Mingzhi wanted to say, Yi Qi hurriedly interrupted his words and smiled indifferently: "Daddy, I and the young marshal are just friends."

"Ah......" Yi Qi Mingzhi secretly felt relieved, nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "Then what do you think is wrong with the marriage between Mancao and Si Yu." ”

"If the two of them are in love, my daughter thinks there is nothing wrong with this marriage." Yi Qi Wanxi endured the pain in her heart, but still smiled calmly.

Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at Yi Qi Wanxi with deep eyes, although he faintly felt that she had something on his mind, but she didn't say it, so he didn't ask.
