Qi Peng sacrificed a leg to continue the glory and wealth of the Rongguo Mansion, and Xu Shu used a pair of eyes to raise the Xu family from an obscure ordinary family to the ranks of the last family, and the experiences of the two of them were very similar.

"It's a pity that I don't have the good luck of Miss Xu Jiu to get rid of the Xu family and start all over again, and I can only do everything I can to support the Qi family and make it fall slowly!" Qi Peng seemed to be joking, but he also seemed to be genuinely envious, and his tone was a little unclear.

"So in fact, if I don't remind you, you will also marry Deng Yarong!" Marrying the daughter of the Deng family, with the power of the Deng family, can also make the glory and wealth of the Qi family continue for a period of time, and it is impossible for the Deng family to watch their in-laws lose, so the Deng family's face is also gloomy.

Qi Peng shook his head, and nodded after a while, "Actually, I didn't dare to give birth to such an idea at first...... "Deng Yarong likes Qi Rui is a secret that everyone in the Qi family knows, how could Qi Peng be tempted by a person who clearly belongs to him?" Moreover, Qi Peng has always had a very low self-esteem because of his lameness, and he knows very well the gap between him and the concubine of the Deng family, and he will not be bored with Deng Yarong's thoughts, so Qi Peng will say "don't dare", not "no".

"But then you gave me courage and capital! So to this day, I am still very grateful to you, Miss Xu Jiu! Qi Peng took a step closer.

Xu Shu took a step back, "You're welcome! We take what we need! ”

"Miss Xu Jiu helped me once last time, can Miss Xu Jiu show me a clear path again this time?"

Ming Lu?

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, Qi Peng just talked about the decline of the Qi family, and now he said this again, this means something!

"Miss Xu Jiu should choose a bright avenue for herself, can you also guide the Qi family, if you can let the Qi family preserve their current status, Qi Peng is grateful, and he will repay him in the future!" There are countless families in Beijing, but Xu Shu chose the Zheng family, Qi Peng believes that this is not an accident, Xu Shu must have chosen the Zheng family for her reasons.

"Do you want to protect your family, or do you want to protect yourself?" Xu Shu asked lightly.

Qi Peng was stunned, "I'm ...... Is there any difference between the two? ”

"If you want to protect the Qi family, then there is nothing I can do, but if you only want to protect yourself, I can give you a word of advice!"

Qi Peng hesitated, he understood what Xu Shu meant, did Xu Shu mean that he was hinting that he wanted to break off relations with the Qi family? It's like Xu Shu broke off the relationship with the Xu family...... But Xu Shu used death to get rid of the Xu family, should he also follow Xu Shu's example? But where can he go without the Qi family? Xu Shu lost the Xu family, but turned into the concubine of the Zheng family, where can he find an identity for him when he leaves the Qi family? Not only does he not have the luck of Xu Shu, nor does he have the ability of Xu Shu, but he still knows what kind of advice Xu Shu will give him.

"And what advice do you have for me? I'm listening! ”

Xu Shu chuckled, "It's nothing, I just want to remind you not to go along with the fourth prince of Qi!" ”

Complicity?

"Miss Xu Jiu seems to have a prejudice against the fourth brother!" Qi Peng pursed his lips, and the smile at the corner of his eyes was meaningful, "The fourth brother doesn't seem to have done anything that people are angry with!" ”

"Just because you haven't done it now doesn't mean you won't do it in the future, and there are some things that no one can judge whether they're good or bad until the final result comes out! And it was after Young Master Qi asked me that I answered on a matter-by-case basis, and I didn't mean to target anyone! So Young Master Qi doesn't need to look at me with such eyes, and he doesn't need to talk to me in such a tone! ”

"So Miss Xu Jiu gave me advice to stay away from the fourth brother?"

"Far from everything he is close to, to be precise!" Xu Shu coughed uncomfortably, tightened the cloak, and felt that her whole body was going to freeze.

"Thank you, Miss Xu Jiu! I remembered! Qi Peng nodded, "That Qi family ......"

Qi Peng still couldn't help it, it couldn't give up the Qi family, and it couldn't give up the low-hanging fruit position of the prince of the Rongguo Mansion, even if the status of the Qi family was no longer what it used to be, even if the decline of the Qi family could not be stopped, even if it was ......

In any case, the Qi family is everything he has relied on for the past ten years. Qi Peng has been cultivated as a son of the world since he was born, just because he is lame, he has to give away what belongs to him, he is unwilling, but he knows that there is nothing he can do, but now that he has that possibility, how can he give up what is about to be in hand. Besides, he can't make a forest alone, and if he leaves the Qi family, what is he......

"If Young Master Qi is really a person with great ambitions, he shouldn't just stare at this little bit of small profit in front of him! And the title of the Qi family is not innate, it was also earned by the ancestors of the Qi family, and the young master of Qi should also take a more long-term view, and sometimes the things you value the most may become your burden and shackles! ”

Qi Peng probably knew that Xu Shu would not change his mind if he continued to talk about it, and the deep meaning implied in Xu Shu's words could not be ignored, so Qi Peng no longer forced Xu Shu to ask Xu Shu to show the Qi family a clear way, "Thank you, Miss Xu Jiu!" ”

Xu Shu looked around and saw the tree she had climbed up at the beginning, but it was winter, and the leaves on that tree had fallen off, leaving only bare branches, and now there were no people hiding on this tree! The dense grass where Zhuang Li was hiding before was also withered and yellow, and the withered grass in one place, this full of withering, just like the Qi family today, has flourished, but in the end it is still withering. The Xu family only saw the title of the Qi family, which was a meritorious family that was promised by Emperor Gaozu who founded the country never to win the title, but they could not see the decline hidden behind this title.

"Ahh Xu Shu couldn't help but sneeze, she thought she must have caught a cold.

Only then did Qi Peng see that Xu Shu had wrapped the cloak tightly from top to bottom, and then realized that Xu Shu was afraid of the cold, and he must have been frozen, so he was busy compensating, "I'll send Miss Xu Jiu back!" ”

Qi Peng and Xu Shu just went ashore, and a maid waiting on the shore said, "Young Master, Grandma sent someone to find you just now!" ”

"Looking for me?" Deng Yarong would take the initiative to find him? Qi Peng was stunned, "What's the matter with Grandma looking for me?" ”

"The maidservant girl said that the eldest young grandmother had just fallen down in the house, and asked the eldest young master if you want to go and see it?" The servant girl replied.

Qi Peng nodded, "Then go and see!" "Since that servant girl came to him, it was obviously Deng Yarong who signaled.

Xu Shu stopped him, "Miss Deng Wu fell down and didn't go to ask for a doctor, why did she come to invite Young Master Qi instead?" Young Master Qi is not a doctor, besides, if Miss Deng Wu really falls, there should be someone else she wants to call to comfort her, right? ”
