Huangfu Yiyu looked at the closed door in front of him: "Qi Minghe." He said in a deep voice.
She didn't even look like she was going to open it.
In fact, at this moment... behind the door was Qi Minghe, breathing heavily and nervously.
It was so late at night, and the gentle night wind was blowing like this. One of the two people was in the room, and the other was outside.
Huangfu Yiyu just looked at it like this... It was nice of her that she kissed him and then suddenly ran in and left him alone outside?
"Minghe, open the door."
"I won't open... It's getting late. Thank you very much tonight. Go back!" the eviction order.
Huangfu Yiyu was listening to the sounds coming from the room at this moment. Qi Minghe's voice was a little sad, a little uneasy, and a little tired.
"Heh." He pulled his lips and smiled softly.
"That's all, then you have a good rest tonight! I'll come to Qi Mansion to see you tomorrow." I stopped by to set a specific date for the wedding.
Thump…thump…
Qi Minghe's heart was beating so fast, and he bit his lip awkwardly in the room, but did not answer him.
After a while: "Yeah."
The two people just talked through the door.
Huangfu Yiyu narrowed his evil eyes, and his tall figure stood up straight. Then for a moment, he took one last look at the closed door and turned around.
In the past, when Qi Minghe was in a normal mood, he would definitely go in and have sex with her, but tonight... thinking of what happened in the lobby, Huangfu Yiyu's eyes narrowed for a moment and he left.
I don't know how long it took before Qi Minghe hurriedly opened the door. At this moment... After opening the door, he saw nothing but nothing outside. Huangfu Yiyu kept his word and had indeed left.
At this moment, Qi Minghe's face had another expression, a little touched, and a little sentimental tonight, so he blushed and bit his lip, looking at it for a long time.
…
When the night passed and dawn came, the Qi Mansion quickly returned to normal. The news of Qi Mingrui's marriage spread throughout the mansion, and even the people outside knew about it. At the Zhu Mansion in the west of the city, when Qi Mingrui saw Zhu Mingchang's face in broad daylight,
I cried and cried for a while, cried, made trouble, and hung myself, and then I was stopped...
Afterwards, upon hearing the news that Ms. Cai was divorced, Qi Mingrui stopped crying again and stared blankly at the eaves, her eyes somewhat relaxed.
Zhufuli in the west of the city.
Zhu Mingchang looked at Qi Mingrui: "Madam?"
It doesn't matter if Qi Mingrui is crying now, it doesn't matter if she doesn't cry...
Why? Why so suddenly...
"Mother..." Isn't mother a mother anymore?
So what will she do in the future?! She is still thinking about going back to her mother's house, crying with her mother for a while, and letting her mother give her advice...
She doesn’t want to be the young lady of the Zhu family, she wants to be the prime minister’s wife! Woo hoo...
"You, let me go, don't touch me!"
Zhu Mingchang looked at Qi Mingrui: "We've already done the wedding ceremony, what else do you want? Didn't you beg me not to stop last night?"
Qi Mingrui: "You...!"
He pouted and looked ugly.
Qi Mingrui just calmed down, and the noise in Zhu's Mansion in the west of the city was temporarily silenced.
In the depression after the happy event in the Qi Mansion, Cai was as normal as ever without the voice of scolding the servants. Qi Jianqing began to personally take care of the business of the Qi Mansion, burying himself in the incense industry. For a month
Later, Yu Xiang would be sent to the palace, and Qi Minghe's marriage would also have to be prepared. He didn't have much time to think about other things.
Qi Miaoling imprisoned herself in Miaoling Garden. She was originally a calm-tempered person. This time after the incense gathering meeting, her mind has become more mature. Now she is staying behind closed doors... She is still young and there is no need for her to take care of the Qi family's incense industry, so
So he concentrated on studying the art of fragrance in the yard.
Qi Mingzhuangze...after the wedding ceremony last night, she didn't show up again. I heard she rushed back to Shangshu's Mansion overnight.
At this moment, in the Lotus Garden.
Qinglian is playing with the freshly picked lotus seeds on the ground. The lotus smells fresh and fragrant. She has nothing to do.
"Miss, tell me... what is the situation in the mansion now."
"What's going on?" Qi Minghe sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Miss, you guys... what happened in the lobby yesterday? Why was the madam injured and sent out of the house by the master? Although the relationship is not easy, the master is still kind and kind, and the fourth lady... just don't
After going out, the third lady... the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to cancel the engagement. Is she really married to Mr. Zhu from the west of the city? "
Qi Minghe closed his eyes and finally regained his mood after a good sleep.
"Um."
Qinglian listened to Qi Minghe's response: "Miss, what is your answer?"
"That's it."
"What about the eldest lady?" Which pot should I not open?
Qi Mingzhuang...
Qi Minghe didn't speak at the moment, just opened his eyes and looked at the green leaves in the courtyard.
"have no idea."
Qinglian just opened her mouth: "The eldest lady is getting more and more confusing this time. It stands to reason that such a big thing happened to the third lady. She didn't go to Zhu's Mansion in the west of the city to comfort her. Something happened to my wife.
She didn't make any movement, she just returned to Shangshu Mansion quietly. Now...it's already dawn, and she hasn't sent anyone over to take care of her and ask about Miss Third..."
"Does the eldest lady not regard the third lady as her sister and the eldest lady as her mother?"
Qi Minghe continued to move his body, changed his position and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
What Qi Mingzhuang was thinking...she didn't know, but...she never came back, so she couldn't fix her. In the past few days, she had slowly settled Qi Mingrui and Cai's accounts, and she was exhausted.
"I don't know." That's the answer again.
Qinglian was looking at Qi Minghe like this, her young lady was...
"..." Forget it, don't ask anymore.
Then he said, "Miss, how long are you going to lie down?"
Qi Minghe didn't answer and didn't speak for a short period of time.
At this moment...my thoughts just drifted to other places. What did Huangfu Yiyu say when he left last night?
——Have a good rest tonight. I will come to Qi Mansion to see you tomorrow.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the light was very bright. The scorching summer heat made people dizzy, and it was hard to relax.
Lying down bored, a rare moment of relaxation...
Is he coming or not?
Qi Minghe will never admit that she is waiting for him. She wants to see him? What a joke...
At this moment, Qinglian was picking lotus seeds aside, and saw Qi Minghe suddenly sitting up again with depression, his face a little flushed.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. Didn't dad give me the two fragrant gardens on the east side of Qijia Mang Mountain? There are also... the two shops on the east side of Bianjing City. Go and get me the account books. I want to see them.
.”
Qinglian raised her head: "Miss? The account book is not in Heyuan..."
"I don't care, I just want to see it. Go and get it for me."
Qinglian was speechless...
Looking at Qi Minghe's appearance at this time, he seemed to be in a panic and had nothing to do with her. He sent her out. It was neither right nor wrong to go now. He could only nod his head: "Okay, Miss, I'm here."
I’ll go get it for you.”
After Qinglian left, the courtyard finally became quiet. Qi Minghe just propped up his chin and sat alone in the courtyard.
Aunt Yu is not here, nothing is going on in the house, everything is boring...
At this moment, I felt a gust of wind blowing and the sound of tiny footsteps sounded.
Qi Minghe turned around subconsciously: "Huangfu Yiyu, are you here?"
At this moment, the whole person just paused here, and his happy expression froze like this: "...Brother Shiyu?"
How to describe the feeling in my heart now? It's like I am dependent on Huangfu Yiyu. I obviously don't want to admit that I love him and want to see him, but my heart has been waiting for him to come over today. Especially last night, Huangfu Yiyu and Qi Jianqing
He discussed marriage in front of her. In the dead of night, he personally accompanied her back. On the way, the two of them couldn't help but... kissed. In the end, she felt so awkward that she locked herself in the room and asked him to go back.
Already.
Yesterday was spent like this, and now I was waiting for Huangfu Yiyu, but I didn't expect to see Su Shiyu.
When was the last time you saw Brother Shiyu?
Qi Minghe frowned, recalling at this moment.
It seems that since the eve of the last incense picking meeting, I saw him once in front of the lobby, and then... he never saw him again.
I've been busy these days, busy taking over the Qifu Incense Industry, busy repairing Qi Mingrui, Cai's family, and the engagement... I've completely forgotten about Su Shiyu.
"Brother Shiyu..."
Seeing that Su Shiyu was silent, he shouted again.
Su Shiyu's eyes were red at this moment, and he could tell at a glance that he had stayed up all night without any rest, and seemed to have rushed here overnight.
"Xiao He, I heard..." At this moment, the tall figure stood upright, parked in the courtyard of Heyuan, in front of the pond...
The gentle voice as always was a bit doting on Qi Minghe, but it was also filled with heartache.
"..." Qi Minghe didn't know what to say.
After a while: "Well, Brother Shiyu..."
Su Shiyu just looked at her like this, and paused for a moment: "I heard... you won the first prize, the matter of the incense picking competition has been settled, and two pieces of the Qi family's property have been sold to you."
"Well, yes...brother Shiyu."
"Brother Shiyu heard that your marriage... was also decided at the incense gathering meeting?"
Su Shiyu's smile was a little empty at the moment, which made Qi Minghe's heart twitch again and again.
"Um……"
Qi Minghe was actually afraid of hearing the following words. After so many years of love... he always hoped to continue as before. In this world, the people who treat him sincerely... Brother Shiyu is the best, right?
"Dad and Huangfu Yiyu have decided on Minghe's marriage."
"Well, do you want to get married?"
Qi Minghe didn't expect that he would ask so directly.
"..." I don't know how to answer.
At this moment, Su Shirui didn't say anything, and Qi Minghe didn't notice the white velvet wrapped around his little finger. The two just looked at each other like this.
Su Shiyu's red eyes were full of exhaustion and unspeakable pain: "Xiaohe... Brother Shiyu actually didn't expect..."
Qi Minghe said nothing.
Su Shiyu just stood still at this moment, with a suave look that made people feel unspeakably distressed: "Can you... not get married?"
Qi Minghe was startled and raised his head: "..."
Su Shiyu stared: "Can't you?"
He had waited for her for so many years, and when she grew up, he suddenly realized that she had already made an engagement with Huangfu Yiyu. Until now, he still hasn't figured out how everything became a foregone conclusion?
"Brother Shiyu heard that Miao Ling gave you a stumbling block at the incense picking competition, so Huangfu Yiyu stepped forward. This is how the engagement was settled. Brother Shiyu rushed over, was it too late? Sorry, I couldn't.
Are you angry with Brother Shiyu for protecting you at the incense picking competition?"
"Brother Shiyu, that's not the case..."
"Xiaohe?" Su Shiyu stared at Qi Minghe.
"It's really...not like this."
Qi Minghe raised his eyes at this moment, his watery eyes were filled with a layer of false light, his eyes were a little distracted, and he didn't know what to do: "Brother Shiyu, I..."
How to explain it?
"It's not all like this."
"Xiao He, are you unwilling?"
"no……"
Although I know that telling the truth will definitely hurt him, but...the feelings in this world are like this, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it...Family affection cannot be equated with love...
"Brother Shiyu, I..."
All I can say is that if you are not tempted, you are not tempted...
Emotional matters are somewhat unclear.
Qi Minghe took a deep breath: "Brother Shiyu, actually the thing is like this..."
"Haha." Su Shiyu smiled tiredly and interrupted her without listening to her words: "If you don't want to, then just agree to it, brother Shiyu, okay?"
Qi Minghe didn't know what to do: "Brother Shiyu, please listen to me, okay."
Su Shiyu only had an indescribable courage hidden in her body at this moment. Looking at her like this, she felt a rare sense of strength. He had always liked her, but he never had the heart to use force on her. Now he realized that he regretted it:
"Xiao He."
In the courtyard, the two people just stood there.
Qi Minghe looked at the lonely figure in the Lotus Garden in front of him, and at Su Shiyu standing tiredly alone, feeling unspeakably distressed: "Yiyu and I have been together..." for a long time.
At this moment, his sharp eyes suddenly saw the white thread wrapped around Su Shi's little finger.
Unexpectedly, the conversation changed: "Brother Shiyu, what happened to your family?"
Su Shiruo smiled awkwardly, lowered his head, and looked at the funeral message in his hand.
He said in a low voice: "This... is the news from the house the night before the finals... my father suddenly died of illness."
That's why he hurried back to deal with the funeral, and didn't even show up for the finals of the incense picking competition. But now, after hearing the news that her marriage was settled, he rushed over again after not sleeping for three days.
I just want to ask...can she push off the marriage?
At the most painful time, hearing about her marriage again was tantamount to...
"Haha." Su Shiyu had a helpless smile in his eyes.
When facing her, he is always gentle as always.
Qi Minghe was shocked when he heard this: "Brother Shiyu, my condolences..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your father passed away..."
At this moment, Su Shirui's heart moved when he saw her anxious expression of wanting to be comforted. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to hold Qi Minghe into her arms.
As soon as he stretched out his big hand, he hugged Qi Minghe into his arms.
Qi Minghe was stunned, never expecting that he would end up in Su Shiyu's arms.
She wanted to break away from him, but at this moment, looking at Su Shiyu like this, no one else would be willing to let him go: "Brother Shiyu, it's my fault, don't be sad."
She was proud of the spring breeze here, waiting awkwardly for Huangfu Yiyu to come over, with tenderness and sweetness in her heart. On the other hand, Su Shiyu was heartbroken. There had been such a big change in her family suddenly, and she heard the news of her engagement. This kind of
Feel……
People who haven't experienced it probably won't understand.
Su Shiyu just listened to her comforting words: "Haha..."
"How can I blame you? Why is it your fault... It's Brother Shiyu's fault. He accidentally missed you every time. He proposed to marry you during the Qixiang Festival, but he got drunk for no reason.
If something goes wrong, I can't be by your side anymore, it's just..."
"Minghe, brother Shiyu feels really sad. Although he loves you very much, he has to watch you getting further and further away... Brother Shiyu doesn't want to give up on you."
"Even if you have already decided to get married, I don't want to give up on you. Do you understand?"
Qi Minghe was held in his arms like this, and he was really at a loss at this moment!
She was moved by these sad words: "I'm sorry...Brother Shiyu."
"Why do you always say sorry? It's not your fault, it's all Brother Shiyu's fault."
When he said this, he put all the responsibility on him, and Qi Minghe felt even more guilty.
This incident... was all her fault from the beginning. "Actually, the incense picking competition..." Winning the first prize is what she wants, and marrying Huangfu Yiyu... is also...
Qi Minghe didn't know what to say other than saying sorry.
Now, with Su Shirui like this, she couldn't say anything more direct, but Dai Xiaoqi still came here just because he couldn't let her go.
"Minghe, Brother Shiyu wants to ask you, if Brother Shiyu wants to rob you from Huangfu Yiyu, are you willing to go with Brother Shiyu?"
So what if the marriage is set? If it is ruthless and unjust, the engagement can still be broken off. Even if it is a little troublesome, even if it means going bankrupt, facing the risk of being suppressed and retaliated, and being unable to move forward, I still have to fight for her.
"Brother Shiyu, I..." Oh, what should she say?
Qi Minghe was so reserved... At this moment, all words seemed to go blank.
I really want to comfort Su Shiyu, "Brother Shiyu, don't do this."
Su Shiyu was just silent, and at this moment, she suddenly hugged Qi Minghe tightly.
At this moment, Qi Minghe looked at him like this, not knowing what he was thinking, but seeing him suddenly become like this.
Su Shiruo's upright and dark eyes were condensed, and he looked down at her intently. The corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, which made people look uncomfortable. He smiled, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Xiao He."
At this moment, I lowered my head and kissed Qi Minghe passionately.
Qi Minghe was suddenly startled and wanted to push Su Shiyu away, but it was already too late.
"Um...Cousin Shiyu!"
The kiss came eleven years late. No one thought that he had already fallen in love with this girl when he was a young man. If he had been more decisive back then, wouldn't everything have been different?
At that time, she proposed marriage to Qi Jianqing, married her back to the house, cherished her, and became the wife of the Su family. She should have a child by now. The two of them are harmonious, and her heart will not be shaken. No one else... will she not?
Same?
He knew her hesitation and did not give him a direct answer, which meant that she had someone else in mind.
But why... why did his heart hurt so much, but he still didn't want to give up?
I was wrong in the past, but now I am stronger, can I undo it?
"Brother Shiyou! You...!" Why, why did it change like this?
Qi Minghe hesitated and didn't know how to say it, not wanting Su Shiyu, who lost her father, to feel more pain and despair because of her... She lost two people at once, one was a close relative and the other was a beloved one. Su Shiyu was indeed a little tired at the moment, and the kiss...
As gentle as ever but sinking.
Qi Minghe's lips were sweet, but without emotion. He tried his best to understand her, but found that she was struggling.
"No...don't..."
There was pain in Su Shiyu's eyes. If this is the case...
Is it okay to kiss your sister as a brother?
Qi Minghe opened his big eyes and looked at Su Shiyu who ignored her wishes for the first time in his life. His eyebrows knitted together.
The clean and gentle lips brushed her lips like this, making her tremble with nervousness.
This is a completely different kiss from Huangfu Yiyu...
Why……
The figure of Huangfu Yiyu suddenly appeared in Qi Minghe's mind. At this moment, he pushed him away: "Brother Shiyu, don't do this!"
Su Shiyu was pushed away, and his tall figure swayed, "Minghe, your heart...is really not with Brother Shiyu."
Qi Minghe: "..."
She knew that although she had not answered him for a long time, she finally made him understand through actions.
Such treatment is more cruel than direct explanation.
but……
"sorry."
"It's okay." Su Shiyu smiled.
In his already tired eyes, there was a silence that was harder to explain.
"Xiao He, actually I have also thought about it... If only I had taken you into my arms and stalked you, but I just can't let you go... I always want to protect you and prevent you from any harm.
, I want to love you forever, but now it seems... impossible."
"Brother Shiyu..."
"I understand what you mean."
Qi Minghe was silent: "..."
"In this case, this trip...brother Shiyu is in vain, right? You will marry Huangfu Yiyu."
Qi Minghe still didn't speak.
At this moment...under the gaze of his warm eyes, he finally nodded slowly.
"Haha..." Su Shiyu completely pulled his lips and laughed, his suave figure was sad, but still elegant, "As of now, Brother Shiyu seems to have no choice but to let go. If Brother Shiyu insists, won't you be in trouble?
Sad again?”
"Brother Shiyu..."
"Brother Shiyu doesn't want to embarrass you, and I don't want to see you at a loss again. Promise Brother Shiyu, if he treats you badly, will you come over to Brother Shiyu?"
It's not that he doesn't want to fight, it's not that he doesn't dare to fight, it's just that when he sees Qi Minghe like this, he is reluctant to fight.
Just like when he decided to kiss her forcefully just now, she didn't indulge and enjoy, and he was unwilling to leave her with only panic and fear!
"..." Qi Minghe didn't know what to say.
