The official government sent a messenger to see the fifth aunt and grandmother, and after asking the official business, he asked him to stay at home at any time, and then left.

The fifth aunt and grandmother knew that this was just the beginning, and there would definitely be a follow-up, so they immediately contacted the post station to hand over a letter to their mother's family for help, and then distributed manpower to investigate and find the main arson culprit.

As expected, someone turned himself in and pleaded guilty the next day, pointing out that the fifth aunt of Qi Zhai bought the murder and set the fire, the original intention was just to deter and warn, but I didn't expect that there was a fatal accident.

The plaintiff, the mastermind and the culprit in the case were all complete, and the county magistrate chose a day to try the case, and when the human and material evidence were present, the fifth aunt and grandmother cried out that they had no way to be wronged, and they were immediately detained and put in prison.

Almost at the same time, the brothers and nephews of the Shu family went to the front of the house to call the door. The manager was still running outside, Wei Dahai weighed it slightly, and sent someone to inform the people in the fifth room, and personally greeted the uncles, nephews and nephews in front of the door, and then invited the second aunt and grandmother out of Taoli Garden to preside over the house on the grounds of "you can't be without an owner in the house for a day".

The power of the mansion changed again in the blink of an eye, and the people in the Qi mansion were suddenly panicked, and everyone was in danger.

Wufang was worried that the Seventh Young Master would suffer a loss, and the relatives and servants thought about it again and again, and finally decided to stuff the Seventh Young Master into Cai Lixuan to live in the name of Ouyang Zhai to temporarily avoid the limelight.

In the face of this disaster, Master Ouyang knew that Qi Bowen was restless and had no intention of learning, so he sent him to copy the famous calligraphy in the wing room by himself, so that no one else would bother.

Qi Bowen rarely did not resist the assignment of homework, obediently entered the room, took pen and ink and began to write. Wu Mei's eyes were red all day long, and she didn't think about food, and the stone didn't say a word, but watched in the center of the courtyard.

But since Qi Bowen entered the room to practice calligraphy, he didn't say a word, practiced in the morning and practiced in the evening, and didn't go to bed when he was tired, he fell asleep directly on the bookcase, and continued to write after waking up, without leaving the room for half a step, and the three meals were used less, and the meals sent in only moved a few spoons, and then they were brought out again.

Wumei was frightened by the little master's strange appearance, and when she found Lu Jiu'er, she wiped her tears and cried, and asked her to help persuade her.

Jiu'er saw him trying to copy one stroke at a time in front of the window lattice, and the blue and black under his eyes were very obvious, and his originally chubby little face was a lot thinner. The world locked in the wing room seems to have become his shell. She couldn't bear to be disturbed, but she didn't move forward.

Qi Bowen inadvertently turned his head sideways, caught a glimpse of the slender figure standing in front of the window, and subconsciously called: "Ah Jiu." ”

Lu Jiu'er looked at him quietly, and he also looked back in a daze, his eyes were very ethereal.

"What are you thinking?" She asked softly.

"Ah Jiu." Qi Bowen muttered, as if he was asking himself, "If I hadn't said that angry sentence that day, wouldn't my mother have been locked up in prison and couldn't get out?" ”

Jiu'er shook her head and stared at him seriously: "If you want to add sin, there is no word." The Seventh Young Master doesn't need to blame himself. ”

"Really?" Qi Bowen lowered his head and leaned on the desk, resting his head on his arm and closing his eyes, "If I hadn't said that, what would I have done today?" ”

No one can answer these words.

Jiu'er sighed silently in her heart and walked away quietly.

There is no news from the fifth aunt's mother's house, but it will take some time for Master Qi to arrive on the way back, and no one in this mansion can count on anyone.

Lu Jiu'er thought of Qi Jiasheng, so she went to Mozhu Pavilion to inquire. The person who opened the door said that the eldest young master had not returned to Yide Academy for many days, so she had to return the same way.

Also, now this is a place of right and wrong, the farther away you avoid, the better, otherwise you can't say it well, and you will accidentally become the next object of calculation.

On the way back to Cai Lixuan, she was stopped by the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from the front hall as she walked through the carp pond in the garden. Looking across the pool, the lights are shining, and the laughter is endless.

Whether ancient or modern, there are people in the world who are greedy for profit and money. The more evil the wicked, the more unscrupulous. Those who are weak and fearless have to go with the flow, and eventually they will become fish and meat, and they will be stabbed by others.

The servants with a face were always wandering around outside the Lixuan Xuan, probing their brains to stare at the situation inside the Xuan. Ouyang Zhai simply closed the door, declined all invitations, and stayed in the Xuannei town house safely.

A few days later, Youfu waited with the carriage on the side door. When Lu Jiuer heard the message, she thought that Qi Jiasheng was asking people to pick her up at a teahouse to talk, but when she got in the car and covered the curtain, she saw Wei Ziqian.

His complexion was still dark and healthy, reflecting a pair of bright eyes, and a scholar made a gentle salute, looked at her and smiled:

"Miss Ah Jiu, Xiaosheng is polite."

"Ah Qian!" At first sight, Lu Jiuer couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and rejoice, "Why are you here?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm here to see you." Wei Ziqian chuckled in a low voice, "After coming to the big city, you haven't walked around very carefully, have you?" I'll take you for a walk today. ”

Jiu'er was happy, but she still remembered the purpose of this trip and asked, "Is Young Master Qi also here?" ”

Wei Ziqian's eyes flashed, and he asked rhetorically: "Let's go out to play, what is he doing?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Jiu'er's lips slowly faded.

"He's not coming?" She glanced at him, and gradually began to think in her heart, "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Wei Ziqian has been enrolled in Yide Academy in Dacheng for a long time, no matter how heavy his studies are on weekdays, there are always a few days off every month, if he really wants to get together to play, why didn't he come for a long time, and he only appeared in front of him when she searched for Qi's family after the accident in the fifth room?

Moreover, they came in a blessed carriage.

Wei Ziqian looked at her beautiful face with a calm and distant face, and her posture was so dignified that she sat there, her waist was slightly stiff, showing a bit of cute stubbornness.

He couldn't help but reach out to flick her full white forehead, the space in the carriage was limited, Lu Jiu'er couldn't dodge for a while, and tears burst into tears when she was played.

"Wei Ziqian!" She covered her forehead in annoyance and opened her apricot eyes.

How old are you, and you still do this boring behavior of bullying people when you were a child!

When Wei Ziqian saw her at this time, he immediately felt cordial and sighed: "Ah Jiu, this is my Ah Jiu." ”

Lu Jiu'er turned her face away angrily, lifted the curtain, and said to Youfu who was driving: "Please also ask Brother Youfu to take me to find Master Qi." ”

Youfu only smiled at her, then turned his head away and hummed a little tune to himself.

Wei Ziqian stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve and sat back.

"Rogues, let go!" Lu Jiu'er reprimanded, "The sage book is all read in vain, don't move if you don't understand it!" ”

Wei Ziqian smiled and hurriedly let go. "Sorry for the offense." The little girl still has a big temper.

It seems that Qi Jiasheng really doesn't want to see her today.

Lu Jiu'er sighed in her heart, straightened her clothes, and said with a straight face: "Say, what did Qi Dashao let you bring?" ”

Wei Ziqian was not in a hurry to speak, and took out the prepared cloth bag and opened it, and inside was a layer of oiled paper bag. Then carefully open it, revealing lard candy cut into small pieces.

"This sugar is soft, sweet but not greasy, you taste it first."

Lu Jiu'er shook her head and stretched out her hand to refuse.

The little girl is older, her knowledge is broader, and she is no longer easy to coax. Wei Ziqian regretfully wrapped the sugar again.

"Then put it away first, you can take it back and eat it."

Seeing his expression, Lu Jiu'er eased her face, she didn't want to take Qiao too much, thought about it for a while, and said:

"Ah Qian, since you have come to see me, you should know what the situation of the Qi Mansion is like now......

"What does the matter of Qi Mansion have to do with you?" Wei Ziqian looked at her with a smile.

Jiu'er was stunned and said, "If something happens in the fifth room, the seventh young master is the eldest young master's brother after all......"

"That's Ah Sheng's business, why should you bother about it?" Wei Ziqian sighed, "Ah Jiu, you are a transparent person, and you naturally understand many things in your heart, so why bother him." ”

Jiu'er was stunned. She found that in front of Wei Ziqian, who knew her, she really couldn't open her mouth to say a lot of words.

Yes, she understands the reason why Qi Jiasheng avoided home. For a son who has not been entered into the genealogy of the correct name, without the shade of his parents and elders, even a small wave may put him in danger or even ruin. It's like Qi Bowen, the seventh young master, once his mother was in trouble, he ended up in the hospital but didn't dare to return. In front of a group of jackals, they are all defenseless human meat steamed buns, and they can only grow stronger by eating and swallowing.

But do you really want to avoid it again and again? There has never been a thousand-year-old thief, and there is no thousand-year-old reason to prevent thieves. As long as the weak are weak for a day, they will always be trampled on by thousands of people and bullied by thousands of people.

"I don't believe that the eldest young master has not done anything about this." Qi Jiasheng, whom Lu Jiuer knows, is not a person who can only escape, "What is his plan?" ”
