Half an hour later, Qu Zaichen returned to the courtyard, walked to Congxi's side, and stared at Congxi without saying a word.

Hua Yue glanced at Qu Zaichen, swallowed unconsciously, wanted to say something, but didn't dare to speak. He never looked back and forth at Qu Zaichen and Congxi, and he didn't feel that he was swallowing, and his face was flustered. Lan Chu stared at Qu Zaichen, clenched the sword in his hand, and looked guarded.

Congxi was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by Qu Zaichen, raised his head to meet Qu Zaichen's gaze and said: "Qu Zaichen, what do you mean, your mother's injury has worsened, she won't fall to any critical acupuncture points, and her life is worrying, right?" But you can't complain about me this time, you won't be unreasonable, you want me to die for your mother, right? ”

Qu Zaichen's eyes narrowed slightly: "You want your mother to have an accident so much?" ”

Cong hurriedly shook his head: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I have no such intention." Your mother's accident doesn't do me any good, why do I think that? Qu Zaichen, you have the heart of a villain, this girl has always been compassionate, kind and benevolent, not like you... Well, in the company of those who are petty and evildoers. ”

Qu Zaichen stopped talking again, only stared down at Congxi's gaze, as if he was investigating the truth of what Congxi said.

Congxi and Qu Zaichen looked at each other for a moment, defeated, his eyes were timid, and he turned his eyes away and said: "Listening to your mother's scolding voice just now, it doesn't look like something happened, I accidentally tripped her, and I have been punished to make amends to her, what else do you want?" ”

Qu Zaichen didn't answer, turned his head to look at Hua Yue and said, "Please Miss Hua go back to Youyun Garden." ”

Hua Yue hesitated, looked worried, and looked at Congxi.

Pretending to be relaxed, he looked at Hua Yue and said, "It's okay, you go back first, let the kitchen cook more delicious food tomorrow morning, I will definitely eat and drink when I go back." ”

Hua Yue nodded, hesitated again, hugged the child and turned to leave.

Qu Zaichen walked in front of Congxi, slowly squatted down, looked at Congxi's face, stared at Congxi's gaze, and said in a slow tone: "Do you know what is wrong?" ”

Cong Xi greeted Qu Zaichen and said frankly: "I admit that I deliberately tripped your mother. But I just want her to twist her hands and feet or bump her knees, so that she can't take care of the child for a while. I didn't expect her to fall on the tub and hurt so badly. ”

Lan Chu and Congran were surprised when they heard Congxi's words, it turned out that it was not all an accident just now, no wonder Congxi was willing to be punished.

Qu Zaichen's anger in his eyes was unabated: "Even so, you still want to hurt your mother, your mother is your mother-in-law, you act like this, right?" ”

Congxi: "Your mother insists on taking care of the child by herself, on the surface, she is the child's grandmother, and taking care of the child for a few days is beyond reproach, I have no reason to stop her, so I can only make this decision." ”

Qu Zaichen: "I said, let you discuss with me in advance, if you can't stop your mother, it doesn't mean that I can't, before you act, have you thought about discussing it with me?" ”

Congxi: "You have been elusive all day, I don't know where you went, and I don't know when you will come back, the matter is urgent just now, do I have time to discuss with you?" If you come a quarter of an hour early, it won't happen, and I should blame you for not coming early? ”

Qu Zaichen's eyes were even more angry: "Hasn't Madame always been conceited and smart? One day and one night is enough time for Madame to come up with. It's a good idea, right? ”

Looking at Qu Zaichen's eyes and ice, he suddenly understood that in Qu Mansion, the person who could not be provoked the most was Qu Zaichen, and the bottom line of Qu Zaichen's anger was his family. Stopping Mrs. Qu from bathing the child just now and injuring her was not the only way, but it was the easiest way to take advantage of the situation. And Mrs. Qu was bumped a little, and the small injury was slightly rubbed, and she could heal in a few days, and it was harmless. I didn't think much about it, but I really ignored Qu Zaichen's feelings.

Even if Qu Zaichen didn't see himself tripping Mrs. Qu just now, with Qu Zaichen's intelligence, he could guess that I did it on purpose. Qu Zaichen is angry, which is understandable. If your mother is tripped and injured by someone, even if there is another deep meaning, you will be a little annoyed. This time, it was really my own inappropriate thoughts, and with yesterday's incident, Qu was angry on top of his anger, and it was understandable to punish himself so severely.

Congxi looked directly at Qu Zaichen and said sincerely: "I know that I am wrong, and I am willing to be punished." Don't worry, I won't do anything to endanger the safety of the Qu family and hurt your family in the future. Ning Xiaogongzi's matter, if it is discovered by the imperial court, I will confess to the imperial court, and everything is done by me alone. Then take out the contract we signed to prove that I am not a member of the Qu family, and I will not implicate you or the rest of the Qu family. ”

Congxi paused for a moment and said, "You don't have to be suspicious, I'm telling the truth." Although I am not very chivalrous and benevolent, Mrs. Qu really cherishes me and treats me well, and promises to save Yu Tong's life and investigate my uncle's grievances. I am very grateful to Mrs. Qu, and looking at her face, I will not do anything to hurt the Qu family. In short, you don't have to be angry and worried, no matter what, the Qu family can be safe. And although Mrs. Qu's injuries are slightly serious, they are all minor injuries, and if she recuperates properly, she should be fine in a few days. This matter is my fault, I will pay it back now, I am afraid of pain, tiredness, hunger, and death, with this lesson, I will dream of sparing Mrs. Qu to walk, and I will never dare to hurt her again. Oh, and Qu Miaozhi, I will also try to avoid her, the rest of the Qu family treats me well, and I have no reason to hurt them.

Actually, without the previous reasons, how dare I, a weak and weak grass seedling, provoke the towering trees of your Qu family? I was really impulsive and inthoughtful just now, so I didn't think much of myself, and tried in vain to hurt Mrs. Qu's plan. This kneeling, like an initiation, immediately woke up to how wrong he was. Second son Qu, if you put 10,000 hearts, I will never dare to provoke your Qu family at will in the future. Are you satisfied? ”

I thought that my heartfelt and sincere words would definitely make Qu Zaichen's anger and resentment calm. When he looked up, he found that Qu was even harder in the dust, and his anger was even hotter. Congxi was stunned for a moment, his face was full of surprise and puzzlement, his eyes rolled a few times, he still didn't understand what he said wrong, and was about to tentatively ask, Qu Zaichen suddenly stood up and left quickly. Congxi found that Qu was behind Chen's left hand, his fists were clenched, and he didn't understand what he was angry with Qu Zaichen again. Could it be that I said that Ning Xiaogongzi's matter was to bear the blame by himself and hurt his manly self-esteem? Congxi sighed, Qu Er Gongzi, you are really difficult to serve.

Today, the sun is shining, and I have been kneeling for nearly three hours, sunburned and tired, thirsty and hungry, with severe pain in my knees from time to time, and cold sweat and hot sweat rolling down my face. Lan Chu and Cong Ran were reluctant to leave Congxi, and had been accompanying Congxi, Lan Chu couldn't help but wipe his sweat for Congxi, his own handkerchief, Congxi's handkerchief, and Congran's handkerchief were almost soaked in Congxi's sweat. Congran hurriedly ran back to Youyun Garden, and after a while, he ran back again, with a few more clean handkerchiefs in his hand, and also took an oil-paper umbrella, and opened the umbrella to shield Congxi from the sun.

This incident angered a few people sitting in the gazebo next to him. Qu Miaozhi knelt in Mrs. Qu's courtyard from Xi, and walked away with a few sneering words. The idea that came out of nowhere just now, held a banquet on the pavilion next to Congxi, and invited Feng Nianqing, Yang Sishan, Yang Sizhen, and Hang Zhitong over, and even Mrs. Qu was helped out by Qu Miaozhi and Master Qu, sitting on the stool in the pavilion, while enjoying the tea and fruit, while looking at Congxi.

Everyone sat around the pavilion, looking at Cong's embarrassed appearance, with different expressions. Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi, and Hang Zhitong were happy and happy, like watching a pheasant flying on the branches, getting carried away for a moment, and then falling to the ground, and the three of them were very happy. Master Qu, Yang Sishan, and Yang Sizhen couldn't bear it, looking at Congxi's painful appearance, wanting to help and stopping, hesitating, and in a dilemma. Feng Nian stared at Congxi thoughtfully, his eyes were complicated, as if he was worried and confused, and thousands of emotions were difficult to solve.

Qu Miaozhi looked at Congxi, laughed and finished eating a banana, raised his hand, smashed the banana peel at Congxi, and said loudly: "If you are punished, you have to help you raise an umbrella to shade the sun, is this your attitude of admitting your mistakes?" When I turn around, I will tell the second brother that you don't know your mistakes, and you will not repent of dying, and let the second brother punish you for kneeling for a few more days. ”

Lan Chu took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Congran held an oil-paper umbrella and looked at Congxi with a distressed face. From the pain endured, all the strength to stabilize the body. All three of them were unprepared for the sudden arrival of banana peels, which smashed against the door of Congxi's head without any resistance. Congxi snorted softly, his body was unstable, and he fell to the side. Lan Chu hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Congxi, and then became furious, picked up the saber on the ground, stood up, pulled out his long sword and pointed at Qu Miaozhi: "Do you want to find death?" ”

Qu Miaozhi saw Lan Chu draw his sword, he was timid, then regained his composure, and said in a loud voice: "You don't use a sword to scare people, do you dare to kill me?" From the moment she hurt her mother, the second brother punished her for not eating or drinking, and knelt here for a day and a night. You are an outsider, if you hurt me, it is light to punish you for kneeling for a month, and if you are punished, you will be dragged to the government to punish the crime, don't believe it, you will try to hurt me? ”

Lan Chu was extremely angry, glanced at Congxi, and hesitated with his long sword.

Master Qu was peeling oranges for Mrs. Qu, and when Mrs. Qu saw Lan Chu's anger withering, she was very happy in her heart, snatched the orange peel from Master Qu's hand, and smashed it towards him. Seeing this, Hang Zhitong also smashed a few grapes in his hand at Congxi. Lan Chu was distracted and looked at Congxi, so that Congxi made up his mind, and he didn't have time to stop him. Although I saw it, I wanted to stop in front of Congxi, I panicked, stumbled under my feet, and almost fell, and when I looked up again, the orange peel and grapes had fallen on Congxi's head. I was about to cry when I was distressed and wronged, tears flashed in my eyes, and I said softly: "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Lan Chu was really angry this time, turned his head to glare at Mrs. Qu and Hang Zhitong, and slowly raised the long sword in his hand, with a murderous aura in his eyes. When Hang Zhitong and Mrs. Qu met Lan Chu's gaze, they couldn't help but be scared in their hearts, and then thought that Lan Chu would never dare to kill them, and their faces turned proud again.

Congxi finally spoke: "Sister Lan, since the sword has been unsheathed, it should be effective, whoever throws something over again, block it back the way it came." ”

Lan Chu nodded vigorously: "Okay." Then he turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi, and Hang Zhitong, their eyes sharp.

Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi, and Hang Zhitong glanced at each other, all a little timid and helpless.
