(3) The forbearance of light clothes
The three of them walked to the back door of Fu's house, and it was already twilight.
The woodcutter put the man down, tired and sweaty, and he sat down on the ground, untied his head and fanned the wind, and his mouth was panting for air.
"Uncle, this is what I promised you, I hope you can keep silent about today's events. Liu Siqi stuffed all the jewelry he had just taken off to the woodcutter.
Although the woodcutter was covered in blood, he still walked away happily with his jewels in his hand.
After sending the woodcutter away, Liu Siqi urged Lu Qi to say: "Lu Qi, you go to that elder brother to ask for the key, his injury can't be delayed any longer." ”
"Okay, you wait for me here. Midori turned around the wall and disappeared at the end of the wall.
Liu Siqi anxiously glanced at the man on the ground, the man was still unconscious, and when he calmed down, although he was dirty, he was not as terrible as before.
After a while, the sound of footsteps running came from far and near.
"Lightcoat!"
Before the person arrives, the voice comes first, and it is Luqi.
Liu Siqi hurriedly greeted him, and sure enough, he saw Lu Qi leading a young man to hurriedly turn out from behind the wall.
Lu Qi briefly introduced Liu Siqi, "This is Brother Changgui." ”
Changgui was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a black manservant outfit showed that his physique was very strong.
He glanced at the unconscious man on the ground, and saw that he was covered in blood, and suddenly showed hesitation, "Lu Qi, I can't help you with this." ”
When Lu Qi heard this, she was anxious, "Brother Changgui, you just said that you were willing to help, why did you change your mind?"
Changgui shook his head, "I remember you told me that you injured his head, why is his body full of injuries, and his clothes are full of blood, I see that this person is suspicious, in case he is a villain, rashly hide him in the house, I am afraid that it will lead wolves into the house and cause disaster." ”
"Brother Changgui, I beg you, you are the only one who can help me now. Seeing that Changgui suddenly refused to help, Lu Qi was about to cry, "If he dies, I will really become a murderer, a murderer has to pay for his life, I don't want to die......"
Seeing this, Liu Siqi also opened his mouth to join the ranks of persuasion, "Brother Changgui, please do well, let him in, Lu Qi will also hurt him because he wants to save me, although we don't know who he is, but I promise you that if he wakes up, as long as he does anything that endangers the people in the mansion, I will immediately send him to the government to deal with it according to law!"
Changgui didn't speak, but his expression faltered a little.
Lu Qi saw that Changgui still didn't let go, and was so anxious that she began to cry, "Brother Changgui, if you don't even want to help me, then I can only wait for him to die like this, and then I will go to the government to surrender!"
"Lu Qi, don't do this!" Changgui hurriedly stopped her, Lu Qi's cry seemed to soften Changgui's heart, he gritted his teeth, "Don't cry, I'll let him in!"
"Really?"
Changgui nodded, stepped forward to open the lock on the door with the key, and looked back at them and said, "However, you must hide him well and not let others find out." ”
"Don't worry, we're going to hide him in the ruined mansion. ”
"Abandoned mansion?" Changgui thought for a moment, "There is no one in the abandoned mansion, but it is much safer." He crouched down and picked up the unconscious man on the ground and entered the house through the back door.
Because the abandoned house is very close to the back door, and it has been abandoned for a long time, few people are usually close to it, and they smoothly carry people into the abandoned house, and no one has been found all the way.
After entering the house, Changgui put the man on the shabby bed, and sat down on the chair at the head of the bed, he glanced at Liu Siqi, who followed later, his eyes turned on her bloodstained clothes, and suddenly said: "Miss Qianyi, I heard that the master will be home soon, you better change your clothes and hurry up to see the master, otherwise the master will not see you, and he will definitely look for you everywhere." ”
"But he ......" Liu Siqi glanced at the man on the bed, looking uneasy.
"Leave it to me and Lu Qi here, you go quickly, otherwise if the master doesn't see you, it will be troublesome to send someone to search the garden to find out this man!"
"Am I so important to that master? Even if I don't show up, is it necessary to go to such great lengths to find me?" asked Liu Siqi curiously.
"Of course, since the death of your mother, the lord has been heartbroken, because he pities you for not having a mother at a young age, so he will fall on you with all his love, and he is almost obedient to you. Lu Qi told her why.
"Even though I am also the young lady of this family, and my father loves me so much, why did my second sister beat me so badly in the morning, and I also feel that my status here is not high, what is going on?" After all, she was about to meet these people, and she still wanted to know these people in advance.
Changgui looked at her in surprise when he heard this, as if he was surprised by Liu Siqi's way of questioning, Lu Qi saw the confusion in his eyes, and explained to him: "Qianyi fell into the foam lake this morning and drowned her braincase, and she didn't remember anything when she woke up." ”
Changgui nodded in understanding.
Lu Qi turned her head and said to Liu Siqi again: "This matter is a long story, and it is related to your mother." ”
"Mother?"
"You were born to the third lady, your mother was born very low, just the daughter of a poor family, and she is an entertainer who makes a living by performing and singing music. At the beginning, your grandfather died and had no money to bury her, so your mother had to sell herself to bury her father, but she was met by the lord on the street, and the lord took pity on her and buried her relatives. In order to repay the kindness of the master, your mother voluntarily married the master as a concubine. Later, the lord brought her back to this Xu Capital, loved her in every way, but did not want to incur the jealousy of your eldest mother and second mother, and always took advantage of your father's busy business and was not at home, and made it difficult for your mother in private. Not long after your mother gave birth to you, due to postpartum weakness, a serious illness took her life. After your mother died, the eldest lady and the second lady were very jealous of the lord's favor for you, and often bullied and abused you when the lord was not at home, in order to vent the anger and hatred in their hearts. ”
"I see. Liu Siqi nodded, "This eldest lady and second lady are too much, I will expose them to my father later!" She stood up and pulled up the folds on her skirt.
"No!" Lu Qi grabbed her arm and stopped.
"Why?" Liu Siqi said indignantly, Lu Qi's description aroused a sense of justice in her heart, as if she saw this girl named Qianyi struggling painfully under bullying and oppression.
She knew that Lu Qi was definitely not lying, which was evident from the girl who beat her violently in the morning.
"Because I don't want you to regret it when you regain your memory. Lu Qi looked at her and said word for word.
"Regrets?"
"Qianyi, I remember that I asked you before, why didn't you expose your eldest mother and second mother to your father bullying you, at that time, you told me that your father is tired and hard enough to be busy with business for this family, and you don't want him to be out and worry about things at home, so you would rather be wronged than tell him. You said that you believe in the goodness of human nature, the eldest mother and the second mother are not evil people after all, if you can exchange your forbearance for the harmony and tranquility of this family, it is also worth it. ”
Lu Qi's words instantly shocked her, and Liu Siqi suddenly stood still.
At a certain moment, the softest place in her heart was touched by Fu Qianyi, the root of her nose was sour, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.
No one knows better than her that this girl named Qianyi has a kind heart, her forbearance is not weakness, not blind obedience, but a choice made for the dearest person, just like raising money to save her sick father, she hopes that her dearest person can be safe and happy.
Can she bear to ruin her little wish?
Her violently fluctuating mind slowly calmed down, and then she said in a low voice: "Lu Qi, let go, I know what I should do." ”
Seeing that her expression was no longer excited, Lu Qi let go of her hand and said softly: "Qianyi, don't conflict with them, let your father leave with peace of mind as before." Wait until your memory is restored before making a decision that you won't regret yourself. ”
Liu Siqi nodded heavily, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
After she finished speaking, she raised her feet and walked out of the door, but her heart was heavy.
It's stuffy.
