Chapter 144: The Pull of Thick and Light
Just like the previous time, as soon as Xiao Yi went, there was no trace, and he didn't know when he would fly back again.
Shao Zhiqiu asked Qingshu and Qinghua many times, and they also asked their families, no one knew what happened to Qinghuai now, so Shao Zhiqiu had to tell them to send a letter back to Qingjia Village, and they must find a way to contact Qinghuai.
After getting off the palace school on this day, Shao Zhiqiu returned to the Zhenguo Mansion as usual.
Huaizhong ordered someone to wait at the door early, and as soon as Shao Zhiqiu came back, he got the news.
"Grandpa Huaizhong, what's going on?" Shao Zhiqiu saw Huaizhong's serious expression and hurriedly asked.
"The person that the fourth girl sent to protect Prince Pengxuan has replied today."
Shao Zhiqiu's eyes lit up.
Huai Zhong continued, "Pengxuan's family sent posts several times and asked him to go back. ”
"Oh?"
Shao Zhiqiu was very surprised, she thought that the person who was going to murder Peng Xuan had made a move.
Family?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"What is the reaction of Prince Pengxuan?"
"I said that I was very indifferent and invited people out."
Looking at the time, Shao Zhiqiu decided to go directly to him and ask, presumably he would not hide it from himself.
"I see, thank you."
After seeing Huaizhong leave, Shao Zhiqiu went to Pengxuan's courtyard.
Peng Xuan was holding a book in a daze.
"Four girls." Seeing Shao Zhiqiu come in, Peng Xuan's expression was amazing, as if someone had discovered something, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with sir? Why are you so unscrupulous? ”
Peng Xuan took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and looked at the book in his hand with a wry smile.
"It's hard to get rid of the demons in my heart, and I can't read anymore."
"Oh? What disturbed Mr.'s state of mind? ”
Peng Xuan was a little silent, and did not answer Shao Zhiqiu for the first time, but thought about it by himself.
Of course, Shao Zhiqiu didn't urge him, just called someone to serve tea, found a book and read it quietly.
I don't know how long it took before Peng Xuan said helplessly.
"What an eventful season!"
Most of Peng Xuan's affairs have been told to Shao Zhiqiu, and because of this, Shao Zhiqiu has become a good person for him to talk to.
"I'm afraid my father's time is running out." Peng Xuan's expression was complicated when he said this.
Shao Zhiqiu listened quietly.
"He wanted me to go back and take over the family business, and sent people to look for me several times."
"Don't you want to go back?" Looking at Peng Xuan's tangled expression, Shao Zhiqiu asked.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's true, I can't. My stepmother and second brother have been running at home for many years, from the housekeeper to the bookkeeper, they are all their people, but it is ridiculous that my father still wants me to go back to fulfill my filial piety before he dies, doesn't he remember the reason why I left home in the first place? Peng Xuan asked to himself.
I don't think he needs an answer.
"But I remember! I still remember what he said and did to get me out of the house. One by one, I remember it clearly. ”
"Do you want to go home?" She knew that he didn't even want to mention Zhao's surname.
Shao Zhiqiu interrupted Peng Xuan's memories.
He should be a bright and optimistic person, just like when Qiu Yu fell off the list, but he didn't fall behind.
Peng Xuan turned his head to look at Shao Zhiqiu and said word by word.
"Of course I do! But I don't want to go back like this! Why can't he live a few more years? ”
No matter how Peng Xuan's words sounded, it didn't seem like reluctance.
But no one is Peng Xuan, so no one can comment on his right or wrong.
Because no one has ever taken his place in those experiences.
"I'll ask Imperial Doctor Liang to take a look." Shao Zhiqiu thought for a while and said.
"Is he worth it?"
"Whether it's worth it or not, you won't regret it in the future." Shao Zhiqiu persuaded.
Whether Peng Xuan's father dies or not, Shao Zhiqiu doesn't care, but she cares about Peng Xuan's reputation.
She hopes that Peng Xuan will be a leader, if a filial piety is pressed, even if he is a genius, it will be difficult for him to make achievements.
Peng Xuan listened to Shao Zhiqiu's words and was grateful. But when I thought of my stepmother, my expression was a little gloomy.
Of course, Shao Zhiqiu knew why he was trapped, so he pretended to be relaxed and said.
"You are my husband Shao Zhiqiu, you can't easily let others bully you, otherwise what will my flying reputation be for?"
Peng Xuan was amused by her appearance, and he didn't know what was wrong with this world, obviously in his eyes, Shao Zhiqiu was just a smart but more and more innocent child.
But why is the world so mean to her?
"Then there's Miss Lao."
Peng Xuan is colorful.
After only giving one order, Huai Zhong took the matter to someone.
With the Zhenguo Mansion coming forward, and the identity of the eldest son of Pengxuan, the people of the Zhao family honestly welcomed everyone in.
When Father Zhao saw the dignified Peng Xuan for the first time, tears kept flowing down, but unfortunately he couldn't speak clearly.
"Father, let's ask Imperial Doctor Liang to help you take a look first."
No matter what Father Zhao was like in Peng Xuan's heart before, it couldn't change the fact that he was withered and dying soon.
Peng Xuan forcibly endured the sourness in his eyes and didn't overdo it.
Shao Zhiqiu watched quietly, and Peng Xuan's stepmother and second brother were looking at Imperial Doctor Liang who was asking for Zhao's father's pulse with a worried look on their faces at this time.
Waiting for Imperial Doctor Liang to withdraw his hand, he went to the outer room under Shao Zhiqiu's hint.
Imperial Doctor Liang shook his head and said.
"If you treat it with all your heart, I'm afraid it will only be a year or two at most."
Peng Xuan's originally red eyes instantly shed tears.
"Why, how can this be...
Seeing this, Shao Zhiqiu hurriedly called Imperial Doctor Liang to the side, and instructed Imperial Doctor Liang to treat his heart, and the medicine must be arranged by the Zhenguo Mansion before he could enter Zhao's father's mouth, and then waited with Peng Xuan for Imperial Doctor Liang to administer needles to Zhao's father.
For three days, Peng Xuan finally heard Zhao's father tremble and say something vaguely.
"My son!"
Everyone present sighed, except for Shao Zhiqiu.
What did you do earlier? Shao Zhiqiu couldn't help but think.
The first thing after being able to speak, Zhao's father ordered someone to invite the elders of the Zhao family together, and he wanted to split up the family in front of everyone before he died.
Because he clearly knows that once he dies, his family property, the eldest son is afraid that he will not be able to get a copper.
Peng Xuan's stepmother's cold eyes when she looked at Peng Xuan made people chill.
Probably in the previous life, Peng Xuan's encounter had something to do with this.
Shao Zhiqiu was thoughtful.
Peng Xuan was very sad, his father in his memory was not like this.
The father in his memory, on the day he saw him off, looked at him with a lot of helplessness in his eyes, a little reluctant, and more ruthless.
ruthlessly put such a small one in such a lonely and helpless empty house, at that time he lost his mother, and then lost his father.
How did you grow up?
He didn't want to recall.
Peng Xuan looked out the window, for the first time, he seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and there was an inexplicable emotion all over his body.
Shao Zhiqiu watched him change like this, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
In the Zhenguo Mansion, Peng Xuan, who had not been out of the house for a long time, now has to go home every day to see, but he did not live back according to Zhao's father's wishes.
Peng Xuan, who originally had a hearty smile, listened to his father's words, apologetic, guilty, regretful, all kinds of emotions were mixed together, so strong, so strong Peng Xuan, who had always deceived his family affection, was so caught off guard.
He was very conflicted by such family affection, wanting to get closer, but also wanting to escape.
In this way, Shao Zhiqiu's previous arrangements were not so thorough, and those two secret guards couldn't follow Peng Xuan in and out of Zhao Mansion all day long, so it was not easy to explain to Peng Xuan.
After thinking about it, Shao Zhiqiu went to find Wen Xing.
