A few days later

Lin Ge replied to the task of the Shu Rusheng faction that day, Qi Shiyuan was indeed as Ning Lu said, and the small red dot on his body was in the same position. Qi Liansheng knew that the latter came to Shu Rusheng's room, and Shu Rusheng asked Ni'er to go to the hall first to prepare for breakfast. Ni'er and Lin Ge both retreated, and Qi Liansheng saw that there was no one else and said: "Although what she said, Shiyuan has all met one by one, but I still hope that Shiyuan will be made public when he is willing." ”

Shu Rusheng understood what he meant, Qi Shiyuan had already been hurt once, and he didn't want to let him suffer a second time.

Qi Liansheng and Shu Rusheng said a few words, and then came to the hall together for breakfast. Qi Liansheng knew that Shu Rusheng would definitely go to Qi Shiyuan, so he found a reason to take Qi Yuan and Qi Hui out, and left Qi Shiyuan and Qi Can in the small courtyard to accompany Shu Rusheng, so that Shu Rusheng could talk to Qi Shiyuan.

Although this place is called a small yard, it is not small, and there is a small garden and a pond behind the house. Shu Rusheng was reading a book in the house as usual, and Ni'er closed the door and went to the kitchen, stewing dessert for her. Shu Rusheng was a little tired from looking at the book, so he stood up and looked at the window, and relaxed his nervousness at this time.

Shu Rusheng unintentionally saw Qi Shiyuan standing on the side of the pond from the window, staring into the distance. She had an idea, put down her book, and walked to the pond.

The breeze blew Shu Rusheng's withered hair from his sideburns, and Shu Rusheng approached Qi Shiyuan, who was still by the pond, step by step. Qi Shiyuan is a person who has practiced martial arts, and the four of them have the highest martial arts, and it is normal to know that someone is approaching him. Shu Rusheng got closer and closer to him, and when she took the last step behind him, Qi Shiyuan turned around sharply, instinctively reacted and was about to pull out the scabbard hanging on his waist, and when he saw that it was Shu Rusheng, he immediately put the sword back into the scabbard. He immediately raised his fist and saluted, and Shu Rusheng knew that he was too close at this time, so he took a few steps back.

Shu Rusheng looked at him, he had always had the impression that he was a person who was indifferent on the outside and extremely fragile on the inside, just because this uncle Qi Chen and brother Qi Liansheng treated him much better than the three of them. Although the uncle was helping them find their families, he had already treated them as if they were his own children. Shu Rusheng was a little hesitant about Ning Lu's son, and always asked himself whether he should talk about it.

Shu Rusheng had a smile on his face, and said with his chin bowed: "Shiyuan, in fact, sometimes think about other places, people can't always live with sorrow. ”

Qi Shiyuan heard what Shu Rusheng said, and he also knew what she meant, in the hearts of the four of them, he had already given his life to the woman in front of him, and they would do whatever she said. On weekdays, she never regarded them as slaves, but everyone was called a brother. Qi Shiyuan knew that Lin Ge was a little strange these days, he had never been around around him before, but these days were very frequent.

He first looked up at the sky, then smiled and said, "I know what Miss is trying to say, Miss has always treated Shiyuan as a young master." Shiyuan and the others have been personally taught by the second master since they were children, and they have long forgotten whether they still have family, because the Qi family is our family, and our surname means that we don't want to go to them. Miss, the frequency of Lin Ge has long made me suspicious in the past few days, and you came to me today, the young master went to run errands without taking me for the first time. ”

Shu Rusheng saw his hesitation, shook his head and said, "I know all this, but she's looking for you." If you want to recognize her, I'll arrange it for you. If you don't want to, I'll turn her down. But she's wandering all over the world alone, just to find you. But you meet these conditions, but how many people in this world are the same, but there are differences, and there is a plan, if you want to recognize her, come to me, I arrange for you to verify whether it is or not, but there is only half a chance, maybe not. ”

Shu Rusheng kept looking at Qi Shiyuan's eyes while talking, and she didn't know if Qi Shiyuan would be willing to do a verification. She smiled and turned to go back to her room.

"Miss, I'm willing to verify it once." Qi Shiyuan said loudly when she turned around and was about to walk up, with a more sincere attitude.

Shu Rusheng turned to look at him and did not speak.

Qi Shiyuan exhaled, showed a smile that Shu Rusheng had never seen before, and said: "Miss, the second master taught us that whether they abandon us or we get lost, we still have to recognize them, because they are the ones who gave birth to us, and we have to use what we can to support them, this is filial piety." ”

Shu Rusheng nodded, his eyes full of distress or another feeling. said: "Brother Shiyuan, don't think so much, maybe her lucky star can take away your previous disappointment." I know you're still in the shadow of your sister-in-law's death, but everyone has to look high. I've died once, and when I know all the sorrows I had to go for the sake of dying, my heart hurts so much. So I believe that my sister-in-law thinks the same way, my brother's smile has long disappeared on your face, and everyone in the Qi family and I hope you cheer up. I believe that you will not disappoint your uncle, who has been worried about you. ”

Qi Shiyuan looked at her, listened to his words, and actually had tears. He practiced martial arts diligently every day, and he didn't want the Qi family's hope for him to be ruined in his own hands. Seeing him like this, Shu Rusheng didn't want to say anything, only turning around and letting him be alone was the best for him.

Shu Rusheng walked step by step in the direction of returning to the room, and there was not much expression along the way. When she arrived in the room, she saw that Ni'er was already inside to collect the books on the table for her, she relaxed her face just now, but walked in happily and said, "Ni'er"

Ni'er was packing up her books, and when she heard Shu Rusheng's voice, she immediately stood up and turned to look at her and said, "Miss, where have you been?" ”

Shu Rusheng walked in, looked around with a smile, and said, "I didn't go anywhere, just relax." ”

Ni'er was a little surprised, Shu Rusheng had always given her a sense of mystery, she said: "How can Miss Scattered and call Ni'er to accompany her, will there be danger for one person?"

Shu Rusheng walked forward to flip through the book he hadn't finished reading just now, and said with a smile: "Why are you like them, I'm so weak, I report to you wherever I go, report to him, and then take a bunch of people to relax?" Don't worry, I'll just take a walk around the yard. By the way, when you go back, go to Ning Lu's side and tell her that Shiyuan does have that little red dot on her body, but you can't be 100% sure that it is Shiyuan, and let her come tomorrow to have a drop of blood to recognize her relatives. ”

Ni'er saw that Shu Rusheng had a smile on her face all the time, and she must be very happy now. said: "Recognize relatives with blood, okay, when I go back, I will go to Aunt Ning's house and tell her." Miss is really good, Aunt Ning has been in Jinzhou City for so long, and she finally has eyebrows. ”

Shu Rusheng looked up at her, nodded, and looked down at the books again.

Ni'er saw that she was so happy, and she didn't want to disturb her current mood, so she went to the back room to make the bed.

Kyoto Qi House

The Qi Mansion was as calm as before, and the old lady Qi and Mrs. Qi were admiring the chrysanthemums in the garden. The lord of Shuchang was ordered to enter the palace today to accompany the empress dowager, so he did not go with the old lady Qi, they were talking about something, only a small servant came and said: "Old lady, madam, the housekeeper said that the old man is angry and back today, I think I will come later." ”

Old Madam Qi looked up at Mrs. Qi, and knew in her heart who was angry with him, and sighed and said: "How do you say how to live this day, finally our Qi family has a good look, and there is no need to worry about being afraid of this day." The young master and the second young lady are running around for the court, and this matter also makes Chen'er happy, he was the one who brought up the child, Ya'er said that it is not counted, but he also taught, you said that the third young lady, which step was wrong, how did she always follow her father to do things, although she is no longer disciplined by Chen'er, but she is a father all day long, and she is all day long. ”

Mrs. Qi was embarrassed and couldn't speak for a while, Qi Anrong was still too spoiled when she was not married, but she never dreamed that she would always come against her father.

No, I saw Qi Chen rushing towards them angrily, and Mrs. Qi asked Mrs. Qi to help her go to the stone bench and sit down. Old Madam Qi couldn't say anything for a while when she looked at Mrs. Qi, she had said before that Qi Anrong's style of doing things was not as good as other women in the Qi family, and she looked arrogant, but now that she was in a high position, she was naturally a little squeamish. also knows why Qi Anrong is like this, but Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince and was promoted to Mrs. Shu Jin.

Qi Chen walked up to them, first shook his face to show Mrs. Qi, and then saluted Mrs. Qi and said, "The child has seen his mother."

The maidservant next to Mrs. Qi brought her a cane, she held the cane and looked at Qi Chen, and said, "Come, sit." ”

Although Qi Chen was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it too obviously in front of Old Madam Qi, and only said: "Mother, there is a letter from my son." They are in Jinzhou City now, because some are delayed in Jinzhou City. said that he would go to Jingzhou after finishing his errands, and stay at Jingzhou's house for a few days before returning to Kyoto, so that his mother did not have to worry. ”

Old Madam Qi leaned on crutches, nodded and said, "It's time to go to Jingzhou, Xin'er alone in Jingzhou will make Ya'er worried." ”

Qi Chen knew that his brother hadn't seen his mother for decades because of his sister-in-law's affairs, and it was strange to say that his mother didn't want to. He didn't want to worry his mother about this, and then said, "That's right, mother." Sheng'er also wrote to say that Shiyuan seemed to have found his mother in Jinzhou City, although it has not been fully confirmed, but it still needs to be verified. ”

Qi Shiyuan's children were also grown up by her, and she had long regarded them as her grandsons, so she gave them the surname Qi. She was happy in her heart and said excitedly: "Really? Shiyuan's child is full of disasters, if he really finds it, it's really great, you have to hurry up about this matter, if it is confirmed, let Shiyuan bring her mother to Kyoto. ”

Qi Chen was also pleased to see his mother like this. said: "Don't worry, I just replied to Sheng'er, and I told us as soon as it is confirmed, and there is one more thing I heard from Gonggong Lin today, Rong'er embarrassed the king in front of everyone." Wang Shang is my sister's child, so she is naturally on the side of our Qi family, and with Ya'er's identity, she can't stop the meeting. After a few days, it is the day of entering the palace. She was raised by you since she was a child, and you said that you taught your daughter, I hope that our Qi family's hard-won peace will be disrupted by him. ”

Qi Chen told Mrs. Qi what she said later, and Mrs. Qi lowered her head and grabbed the placket of her clothes. After Qi Chen finished speaking, he stood up and sighed, and walked out of the courtyard.

Old Madam Qi also stood up, crutches and let the slave and maid help her to walk to her house.
