Time flies, and there are only two days left until the day of the engagement. The Yan family has been completely renewed, the red lanterns have been hung up, the place where the repair should have been repaired and decorated, and the invitations to the banquet have been issued...... Everything is ready to wait, just wait for the day of engagement.

Qing Qian was busy with the trivial things before the engagement, and people were also idle, except for He Wet Clothes coming over every day, the two went out to watch movies together, drank tea, and Qing Qian usually stayed at home.

It was still sunny just now, but suddenly there were dark clouds outside, and the weather was gloomy.

The light in the living room was a little dim, and Yan Yezheng's knees would hurt when it rained. Qing Qian ordered the kitchen to prepare side dishes, and Yan Ye was sitting in the dining room drinking. There was a wall lamp lit in the dining room, and I sat down and read the newspaper with the light on it.

Although the father and daughter didn't say anything, Qingqian felt very comfortable.

Looking up at his father, his father has become thinner and thinner in the past two years, and his temples have gradually turned white. Generally speaking, when you reach your father's age, shouldn't you be fat?

I haven't seen my mother since I was sensible. For more than 20 years, it was my father who raised him alone. Although the Yan family is a wealthy family and takes care of their own affairs, his father has never interfered with others. Any wealth is accumulated, and in his early years, my father had to run around for business. However, even when he had to go out, his father always took himself with him.

Now I have grown up, but my father has slowly grown old.

The memories flooded, and the shallowness couldn't help but heat up in the eye sockets.

"I have to go to the shop, it should be raining, you stay at home and don't run outside." Yan Zhengye drank the wine in the glass, wiped his mouth, and went out of the dining room.

"Oh, you go early and come back early." Buried in the newspaper and pretended to be attentive. When he heard the footsteps in the distance, Qing Qian poked his head out of the newspaper and saw the back of Yan Zhengye going out.

The weather was hazy, the wind was gusting, Yan Ye was wearing a dark blue gown, and the wind was blowing, and the back of the gown was bulging. Yan Yezheng's back became more and more old and degraded, and an unspeakable sadness suddenly surged into his heart. I shouted involuntarily; "Father."

"How?" Yan Yezheng hadn't walked out of the yard yet, and looked back to see the shallowness.

"It's nothing, you should come back soon." Seeing his father turn around, Qingqian didn't know what he wanted to say. was timid for a while, and said a random word.

"Silly girl, haven't you already explained." Yan Yezheng smiled, then turned around and left again.

After Yan Yezheng left, Qingqian snuggled up in a chair all morning and finished reading the full page of the newspaper. When I got up, I only felt that my hands and feet were stiff, and I stretched my hands and feet. It was already raining outside, and seeing that it was still early, Qing Qian planned to lie down for a while.

The rain was getting louder and louder, and the rainwater on the roof was running down the lead-iron water pipes, making a high and low sound. Qing Qian tossed and turned in bed, and couldn't sleep. The air is actually very cool, but my heart is inexplicably getting more and more irritable. In a trance, he seemed to be asleep and woke up.

In the haze, Qingqian seemed to hear someone calling for herself. When he opened his eyes, He Shiyi's face was close to him, and his expression was serious. Qing Qian had never seen He Shiyi's expression like this, and the hazy sleepiness that was not yet clear suddenly woke up.

"How?"

"Qingqian, get up and put on your clothes, I have something to tell you." He turned his back and waited for Qingqian to put on his clothes.

"Qingqian, don't worry...... Uncle Yan was arrested in the afternoon. He Shiyi's eyes were unbelievably serious, and he considered his tone.

"How so? Father...... What happened to my father? "There was a moment of blankness in his shallow mind, and his father had always been disciplined in business.

"The military department caught a fugitive traitor at Xiao Ji Wharf, and Xiao Ji is his uncle's property." He wet clothes to consider the tone.

"The military department? Xiao Ji? Qingqian heard He Shiyi say the word "military department", his body was in a trance, and he was a little unsteady when he stood up, He Shiyi hurriedly helped him. Qingqian gently pushed away He Shiyi's support, stood in the room for a while, groaned slightly, and turned his head to look at He Shiyi;

"Can you please let me meet my father?"

Since the military department intervened in the arrest of people, he must be an extremely important prisoner, how could my father be involved in such a thing? How did Xiao Ji become the Yan family's industry again? In my impression, the Yan family has never interfered in the dock business. Everything came too suddenly, and before things were figured out, Qing Qian wanted to meet his father.

The gaze that Qing Qian looked at made He Shiyi slightly stunned.

He Shiyi didn't expect that in the face of the sudden disaster, Qing Qian did not show a panicked look or crying. Perhaps, she is still timid in her heart, but at this moment, her calm expression has a kind of loneliness that is close to boldness. How many postures did he have that he had never seen before?

"Okay, I'll go to the military headquarters to inquire and see if I can visit. Maybe it's not a very serious matter, and you'd better not go to anyone and wait for me at home...... I have to go, remember, I'm here for everything! He Shiyi stabilized his thoughts and tried to comfort Qingqian.

"Hmm." Only then did Qing Qian realize that He was still dressed in military uniform, and he had obviously just rushed over from the military headquarters.

He Shiyi explained a few more words, and then left in a hurry.

Qingqian couldn't feel at ease since He left in wet clothes, sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about the people who could ask for help. It had just rained, and the bed was wet and cold, and I stepped on it barefoot, and I didn't feel the slightest cold. The maid Xiaoxi found shoes and socks and carefully put them on for Qingqian, but Qingqian didn't notice it.

After roughly sorting out the clues, Qing Qian did not obediently stay at home and wait for the news, but rushed to the shop where his father was arrested in the morning. Lao Li, the shopkeeper, recalled the morning's experience in detail.

In the morning, it was foggy outside and the streets were sparsely populated. Yan Yezheng was thinking that there was no business, so he and Lao Li went to the warehouse to take stock of medicinal materials. While they were busy, a group of imposing guards suddenly rushed in. The leading officer was quite polite, saying that he had discovered that there was a traitor hidden on the dock of the Yan family's Xiao Ji, and asked Master Yan to go with them.

The father did not resist in the slightest, so he followed, and before leaving, he also explained to Lao Li, don't tell Qing Qian for the time being.

Because my father recently had an unpleasant quarrel with the second master of the Qi family, he offended several big businessmen by the way. According to Lao Li's guess, it seems that someone who had a holiday with his father fabricated a disaster behind his back to murder his father. Listening to it, it is unlikely that it is instinctive. The military department - the core of Jinyuan's military and political affairs, how can it be instigated by a few small businessmen.

However, if it is the Qi family of the "first merchant", it is a different matter. There is another thing, the military department mentioned that his father is the head of Xiao Ji Wharf. Thinking about it carefully, in the year when they had a grudge with the Cao Gang, the Yan family's situation was the hardest. Because many medicinal materials need to be purchased in other places, Jinyuan has a wide water, and it is very convenient to take the waterway. However, the Cao Gang had a strong influence in Jinyuan's water transportation, and the Yan family always ran out of stock and medicine in those two years.

My father would buy a small pier at his own expense, and there was also a case.

Thinking of the Cao Gang and thinking of Ge Jing, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through Qingqian's mind. Although it was a cool weather, Qing Qiandun felt cold and sweaty. If...... If that's the case, how should I face my father!

After inquiring about this, he hurriedly said goodbye to Lao Li and prepared to go home to wait for the news of He Wet Clothes.

The shop was already closed, and a little mute beggar ran to the counter in front of the shop, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and the guy at the counter was impatient to blow the little beggar away.

Qing Qian was standing outside the door waiting for the driver to drive over, and the corner of his eye skimmed, and a green jade wrench on the little beggar's dirty little hand flashed in the gloomy light. Qing Qian's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran up.
