When Shuangxi fell asleep, she felt a little more peaceful than when she woke up, but she didn't seem to sleep very peacefully. Her eyebrows were lightly frowned, and she seemed to be worried about something in her dream.
Qi Han wanted to stretch out his hand to smooth Shuangxi's frown, but he retracted his hand halfway.
"Qi Han..." Shuangxi whispered softly in his sleep.
Qi Han was startled, thinking that Shuangxi had discovered him, and was at a loss for a moment.
But then, Shuangxi still didn't wake up, and Qi Han breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Han stood like this and stayed with Shuangxi all night. It was not until dawn that he turned around and left the Qin Mansion.
Today, Qi Han only feels that his world is full of confusion. After returning home, Qi Han just sat there for a whole day.
Until evening, Shuzi ran to Qi Han's house in a panic: "General! General! Something bad is going to happen!"
Qi Han, who was somewhat haggard and depressed, looked up at the panicking tree with bright eyes and no words, waiting for the next message from the tree.
"General Qi is critically ill!" Shuzi said urgently, his words full of anxiety.
Qi Han suddenly stood up from the stone bench in the courtyard and grabbed the tree: "What did you say?"
Shuzi had a quick temper, and he didn't care whether it would offend Qi Han at this time. He took out a letter from his arms and said to Qi Han: "This is sent to the military camp from Kyoto on an urgent basis!"
Qi Han unfolded the paper and glanced at it.
Old friend Yue Zhong, I have not seen each other for several years since Qi left Yanyue City. I have never dared to forget the friendship between brothers. Now Qi suddenly suffered from a serious illness and his death is not far away. I asked my fourth son Qi Han to stay with his old friend...
…
The last sentence is: Don’t let the dog return to Beijing!
Qi Han's face suddenly darkened, and he asked Shuzi: "Where did you get this letter?"
Shuzi hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Today I went on an inspection with the general, and it slipped out of the general's sleeve."
Shuzi was afraid that Qi Han would scold him, so he hesitated and said: "After I picked it up, I accidentally saw the contents inside, so I didn't return it to the general. I thought that if I told the general, he would be
I will be ordered not to tell you... You also know that military orders are like mountains, and I..."
Qi Han patted Shuzi on the shoulder and said to this subordinate who was loyal to him: "This time, you did a good job. Now throw this letter to the place where you picked it up."
Although it was his father's handwriting, Qi Han knew that he couldn't stay. If he stayed, General Yue would inevitably have a problem with Shuzi. No one wants his subordinates to be loyal to others.
"Then I'm leaving!" Shuzi's voice was loud, but there was a hint of worry.
Qi Han understood Shuzi's heart, so he said to Shuzi: "Shuzi, just pretend that nothing happened and that I don't know about it."
Shuzi was driven away by Qi Han hesitantly. For some reason, looking at the overly calm look on General Qi's face, Shuzi always felt that something big was about to happen.
After waiting for Shuzi to leave, Qi Han took action. Without any hesitation, he went back to the house and packed a bag. Then he picked up a pen and wrote a few words, to the effect that he had returned to Kyoto, so don't miss him.
He took another piece of paper and wanted to write something to Shuangxi, but there was no word in his hand. Finally, Qi Han let out a long sigh, put down the pen full of ink, got on his horse, and drove away!
Something big must have happened at home! My father is a military general and has always been in good health. How could he suddenly become ill for no reason? He actually came to ask General Yue to take care of him.
You know, although the Qi family and the Yue family are not enemies, they are officials in the same dynasty and both are generals. It is inevitable that there is a subtle rivalry. How could my father put down his dignity and ask for General Yue? According to his father's temperament, how could he let himself
A bit shorter than the Yue family?
And the last sentence is, don’t let yourself go back to Qi’s house! This already explains a big problem!
Qi Han knew in his heart that something had happened at home. In order to protect him, his father and brothers wanted to leave him at the border far away from Emperor Gao, but... he was also a member of the Qi family! There must be trouble at this time.
How could he back down when he was at the same time?
Moreover, his father was critically ill. As a son, how could he know clearly and not go back?
In the end, the reason why Qi Han didn't leave any message to Shuangxi was because he didn't know how to explain the situation. He also had other considerations. He had already sensed that the Qi family was facing an unprecedented disaster this time. He would rather Shuangxi
I'm desperate! I don't want Shuangxi to be involved in this disaster.
He is a member of the Qi family, and he should bear all this, but Xi'er, he will not allow Xi'er to be harmed at all!
Another day passed, and Dang Shuangxi finally plucked up the courage to go and have a talk with Qi Han.
Shuangxi was wearing a light green dress today. Shuangxi was still not used to having the woman's hair tied up. Instead, she asked Qing'er to tie the upper part of her hair into a bun, while the black hair below was scattered.
Come down.
Wearing a sapphire blue forehead ornament and a golden step rocker, the whole person looks youthful and smart, without losing the luxury.
As his bright eyes turned slightly, they produced a ripple of light that made the men in the yard stare straight at him.
I don't know how Shen Ziyan communicated with Shen Yan and Quanzi. Shen Yan and Quanzi knew clearly what Xi'er was going to do today, but they didn't stop it. They just could clearly feel that the two of them were in a very unhappy mood.
Looking at Shen Yan's cold face, without a trace of smile, you can tell that Shen Yan must be in a very unhappy mood at the moment. He is sitting on a stone bench in the garden of Qin Mansion.
, gently turning the tea cup with blue distant mountains printed on it with his hand, looking very worried.
Looking at Quanzi again, his unhappiness was very obvious. In the past, he always had a sinister smile, but now he pursed his thin lips tightly, and the seductive look in his charming fox eyes
His facial expression was also gone, and all he had left on his face was the words: "I'm very unhappy."
Shuangxi sighed softly, it was already very rare for these two people to not stop her, and now it was a very good treatment to show her such a bad face.
Shuangxi didn't dare to look at the accusing eyes of the two people, and turned slightly to the side. Next to him was Shen Ziyan.
Shen Ziyan's eyes were quite gentle, with a hint of encouragement in them, and he said to Shuangxi: "Xi'er, I believe General Qi will understand your feelings."
Shen Ziyan's tenderness made Shuangxi feel even more guilty.
At this time, Qing'er, who had gone to the front yard to report to Mrs. Qin about taking Shuang Xi out, came back.
She showed her face and saluted the various men sitting around a round table: "I have seen all of you... uncle."
At first, when Qing'er knew that these men were her young lady's husbands, to be honest, it was a bit hard for her to accept it. But after getting along for a long time, she found that each of these men was more sincere to her lady than the other.
One is more sincere than the other!
This makes Qing'er unavoidably envious of his own young lady.
Not to mention Qing'er's worries that a young girl should have, at this moment, she hesitantly called out: "Miss."
"Qing'er, since you're here, take Xi'er with you and take good care of Xi'er on the way." Shen Ziyan's gentle voice sounded, filled with intoxicating tenderness.
Qing'er couldn't help but envy her young lady in her heart. This eldest brother-in-law is really gentle. Why is he the eldest brother-in-law? That's because Qing'er has spontaneously divided the status of these men.
.
In her opinion, the calm and elegant Shen Ziyan is a well-deserved eldest uncle! As for the one with the lowest status... Qing'er glanced at Quanzi sideways.
Quanzi didn't know at this moment that she had this status in the eyes of a little maid. If she knew, she didn't know what she would think.
Qing'er didn't dare to look at her eldest sister-in-law, but tugged at the corner of her clothes. This was a sign of Qing'er's nervousness. She glanced at her young lady, a little unbearable, but in the end she said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't do it today.
Went to Qi’s house.”
When Quanzi heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he quickly asked: "Why?" At this moment, Quanzi's heart was full of joy. In Quanzi's opinion, it would be a day to delay it! He didn't want to be with that person.
Qi Han lives under the same roof!
Why is he, a latecomer, so arrogant? He, Quanzi, has known Xi'er for a long time. So when he joins the Shen family, shouldn't he have to "keep himself low and be a small boy" and treat Shen Ziyan and Shen Yan with more respect and kindness?
Tolerance?
It turns out that Quanzi hates Qi Han, not just because Qi Han wants to take away part of Xi'er's love, but also for this reason! In Quanzi's heart, if Qi Han enters their family, he will seize power!
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the eldest son of the Shen family is oppressed, and then he tramples them all under his feet, or even worse, pushes them away from Xi'er one by one!
You can't blame Quanzi for thinking this way. In fact, Qi Han used to give people the impression that he was unwilling to be inferior to others. Moreover, he had always been aloof and arrogant. When he first met the Shen family and the Yun family, he never deliberately tried to please him.
, there is even a hint of provocation!
That's how Izumi came up with this idea.
Quanzi's joy was too obvious. Dashan coughed lightly to remind Quanzi.
Quanzi then suppressed his smile and warned himself in his heart not to leave a jealous impression on Xi'er, so he asked again: "Qing'er, tell me slowly, why can't you go see Mr. Qi today?"
"Really?" This time, his tone seemed to contain a hint of concern. In fact, he didn't originally want to address Qi Han with such respect, but he changed his words at the last moment. (To be continued. If you like this work,
