Stopping and looking back, his complicated eyes were full of hesitation and doubt. Qi Zi was silent and confused. Why did he just say he was leaving, but now when Zhao Yunniang asked him, he didn't know whether he was staying or leaving.
Zhao Yunniang walked up to her and said, "You were brought back by your cousin. If you leave like this, how can I explain to him?"
Qi Zi asked, "Do you think I should stay here?"
Zhao Yunniang looked away and said after a long time: "It's getting dark, please stay. If you disappear, my cousin will go out to find you again. The room you live in is still the same as before. My cousin has not let anyone touch it."
, let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
Qi Zi didn't know what to do, so he still stood there. When Zhao Yunniang took a few steps, Qi Zi couldn't follow her. When she turned around, Qi Zi picked up her steps and followed her.
Along the way, Qi Zi was conflicted to the extreme, but her feet followed her involuntarily. There was no topic, and Wu Yan arrived at the wing, where Qi Zi used to live. From a distance, she saw Xiu Yu looking at the door. When she saw Qi Zi, she trotted away.
He came over, as happy as a little bird, and said: "Miss, you are really back. I just met the young master and told this slave that you are back, but I still don't believe it."
Qi Zi took Xiu Yu's hand and said, "Xiu Yu, long time no see, are you okay?"
Xiuyu smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, okay, everything is fine."
Zhao Yunniang said: "Qi Zi, you should rest first. I'm leaving. I'll see you again when I have time."
Qi Zi smiled and nodded. As soon as Zhao Yunniang turned around, Xiu Yu pulled Qi Zi into the yard. Looking at the lively Xiu Yu and thinking of Cui Yi and Zi Lan who were still in prison, Qi Zi felt very guilty.
As Zhao Yunniang said, nothing had changed in the house. Xiuyu poured a cup of tea and said, "After the young lady leaves, the young master will not allow anyone to touch the things in this wing. Even if the third young lady comes in, the young master will get angry."
"
Qi Zi smiled and thought: Brother Ling, thank you for your good intentions, but Qi Zi is destined to fail you in this life.
In the evening, the dust-cleansing banquet was held in the main hall. Mrs. Liu, who had suffered a stroke, was carried by Ling Shiqi on his back to sit at the table. The table was full of people with their own concerns. Qi Zi didn't want to attend due to his current status, but Ling Shiqi couldn't be persuaded and had to come.
.
The delicious food on the table was filled with an appetizing fragrance. Ling Shiqi raised his glass and stood up and said: "Uncle, Zhongwen, today I will appoint Yan as your receptionist, and Shiqi will do it first as a token of respect."
Liu Zhongwen and Liu Fuzi drank it all. Liu Fuzi said: "Sister, you see Shiqi is becoming more and more like my brother-in-law. You are really lucky."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "This child Shiqi never lets me worry, which is what makes me feel relieved." Suddenly she said with a cry: "My poor Jun'er, he is so young...
."
"Alas." Master Liu sighed and said, "Sister, don't be sad. Look, don't you still have Shiqi and Lizhen? They are also your children, and you should be happy that they are still with you.
ah."
Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears, looked at Ling Shiqi and Ling Lizhen and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, fortunately I have them both."
Zhao Lizhen smiled and said: "Uncle, Brother Zhongwen, hurry up and eat the vegetables, they are already cold."
"Yes, yes, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after dinner." Zhao Yunniang also said.
"Okay, okay, okay." Everyone moved their chopsticks.
Qi Zi picked up the dish closest to her and put it into the bowl. How could she possibly eat at this time?
"Yunniang and Lizhen are so old. The last time I saw them, they were still running around with Shiqi. Now they are both beautiful and graceful. Alas, time is not forgiving." Master Liu said.
He said with emotion after eating a piece of food.
Mrs. Liu looked at him and said with a smile: "Yes, we are all old."
Master Liu said: "Shiqi, is it time for you to ask for a wife? You see, Zhongwen's child is already half a year old. You have to hurry up. I believe your mother also wants to have a grandson."
After Master Liu finished speaking, the table suddenly became quiet, and everyone felt uncomfortable. Ling Shiqi looked at Qi Zi, and Zhao Yunniang looked at Ling Shiqi.
Mrs. Liu said: "Zhongwen, I have also prepared a small gift for my little grandson."
Liu Zhongwen said politely: "Zhongwen thanked my aunt for Siqi."
"Thank you no matter what, we are all part of the same family. I am sorry that my niece-in-law passed away so early." Mrs. Liu's sudden words made Qi Zi and Liu Zhongwen feel very sad.
One is a former lover, and the other is a close friend in the past. The combination of the two makes the three of them sad. They have loved and hated each other. In the long years, the only thing left is - hurt.
"Mom, stop talking about these unhappy things." Ling Shiqi smiled.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, brother, let me see this..." Ms. Liu smiled sheepishly: "Come on, eat the food quickly."
Ling Shiqi put a handful of vegetables in a bowl and said with a smile: "Zhongwen, how long have you known Qi Zi? Qi Zi is his uncle's student, so you should have known each other for a long time."
Ling Shiqi didn't know that his words were even more sad than Liu's words just now. Qi Zi and Liu Zhongwen looked at each other, then immediately looked away, afraid of finding something in each other's eyes.
Master Liu knew that both Qi Zi and Liu Zhongwen were miserable, so he said on behalf of Liu Zhongwen, "Oh, they have known each other since they were children."
"We've known each other since childhood? No, no matter how I look at them, they don't look like we've known each other for a long time?" Ling Lizhen said, looking at Qi Zi.
Zhao Yunniang said: "Why?"
"Because they have never said a word to each other from beginning to end. If they have known each other since childhood, how come they didn't even talk to each other when they met?"
Qi Zi smiled awkwardly and said, "We have known each other since childhood, but we were separated for a long time, so we have nothing to say now."
"Is that so? Brother Zhongwen?" Ling Lizhen asked with a smile.
Liu Zhongwen looked at Qizi, thinking that she said "a long, long time", but it was only more than a year, but she said "a long, long time", Qizi, are you still angry with me, do you still care about me? Liu Zhongwen's eyes are moist.
Liu Fuzi knew something was going to happen and said loudly: "Zhongwen, Lizhen is asking you something?"
Liu Zhongwen looked back and said, "Lizhen, what did you say?"
Ling Lizhen said inexplicably and naughtily: "Brother Zhongwen, you are so annoying."
"Hahaha..." Master Liu's laughter finally relaxed the atmosphere at the dinner table.
Qi Zi ate something symbolically and left the house soon. I would never be able to experience the joy of re-sewing my loved ones in this life, so why put myself in it and cause trouble.
In the garden, Qizi was on the swing under the big locust tree, listening to the low chirping of insects around him, and looking up at the pale moon in the sky. I felt so lost, so lonely, and alone. If all this was...
It was destined. Then he had already accepted his fate. Why would God let Liu Zhongwen reappear in his sight and torture him so cruelly?
