Qi Qingxi greeted Qi Liang with a smile.

"Long time no see."

Seeing Qi Qingxi's smiling face, Gu Yu couldn't help but said helplessly: "I was trembling with pain just now, but now it doesn't hurt anymore?"

Qi Qingxi was taken aback when she heard the words, and then realized that she shuddered just now, which caused Gu Yu to misunderstand.

"Just now I didn't tremble in pain. In fact, it doesn't hurt if I don't touch it. I just don't want to get entangled with them. I just...just..." Qi Qingxi sat in the carriage and looked at Gu Yu. She felt her heart beating faster again.

Gu Yu also looked at her and smiled softly: "Just what?"

Although Qi Qingxi wanted to keep a distance from Gu Yu, who was engaged, but thinking that he saved her today, she should explain the matter clearly to him, so that he would not be said to be covering up a thief.

"I didn't steal anything from their house. The money was my wages for making dim sum for this family today, and the reward from their wife. The total was only 20 taels of silver. Why should I steal it? It was their lady who deliberately harmed me. "

"I know."

Gu Yu had already guessed and knew why they treated the girl in front of him like this. He had seen many of these methods before, but it had nothing to do with him for those girls' self-entertainment, but this time it was different.

He couldn't even imagine how she walked in the deserted place for half a day alone. If she encountered any beast or villain, she was a girl...

They actually dared to do such a thing that almost killed her. Presumably, their lives were too comfortable, and they felt that they could do whatever they wanted with a fifth-rank official in the capital's yamen.

Gu Yu couldn't help but reached out and stroked the top of her head.

Qi Qingxi was a little embarrassed: "Fortunately, I just sprained my foot, nothing serious happened, and I'll be fine after two days of rest."

She paused for a while, and then said: "You... Thank you for saving me, but you must not interfere with this matter again. I heard that the elder of their family is an official in the capital, so don't put on a small dress for you at that time." Shoes. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. One day I will get it back by myself.”

At this moment, Gu Yu felt as if her heart was being scratched by something, it was itchy, but it was very comfortable.

"Okay." Gu Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a hint of pampering in his voice that he hadn't even noticed.

At this time, a discordant voice came from behind Gu Yu.

"How did Miss Qi get hurt?" Gu Liang asked in surprise.

Qi Qingxi smiled: "I accidentally sprained my ankle, it will be fine after a while of rest, it's fine."

Gu Yu's complexion darkened when she heard the word "careless", but it only took a moment, and then he changed into a smile.

He said softly to Qi Qingxi: "It suddenly occurred to me that apart from coming to the banquet today, there is another important matter to discuss with Li Yuanwai. Why don't I ask Gu Liang to take you to the hospital first? If it doesn't hurt, you still need to find a doctor. look."

Qi Qingxi nodded: "I'm fine, Mr. Gu, it's important that you get down to business first."

Gu Yu sighed inwardly when she heard her address, she had obviously called him Big Brother Gu a few days ago, but now she has not seen her for a few days, and has become Lord Gu again.

Forget it, don't worry about this for now, it's important to do business.

Gu Yu told Gu Liang to send Qi Qingxi to the doctor to see a doctor before sending her home, and then come to pick him up later, he should just finish the matter.

Gu Yu watched the carriage go away, and then he entered Li's mansion again with a sullen face.

*

Qi Qingxi returned home and asked Gu Liang to go to shopkeeper Xu's house to help her bring Qi Nuan back.

She was sitting in the room rubbing the medicinal wine given by the doctor in the hospital just now.

The doctor said her feet were fine, but as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days for her to hurt her feet, so let her take good care of them. Then he gave her a bottle of medicinal wine and asked her to apply the medicine on time every day. so full.

ten days...

She also plans to prepare for the opening of the store after finishing today's business.

Now it's all right, the business didn't work out, and I sprained my foot, which delayed the opening of the store.

Was her luck too bad, Qi Qingxi couldn't help crying.

This wailing happened to be heard by Qi Nuan who ran all the way back from shopkeeper Xu's house.

With tears in her eyes, she walked into the room and rushed to Qi Qingxi: "Sister, are you in pain?"

Gu Liang came in after Qi Nuan and asked, "Are you okay, Miss Qi? No, the doctor just said that there is nothing serious."

Qi Qingxi felt a little embarrassed, she just expressed her inner depression casually, who knew that they would bump into them at such a good time.

But she didn't want to say anything more, she just comforted Qi Nuan and said: "Sister is fine, in fact it doesn't hurt, it's just that when applying the medicine, I need to use some strength, so Sister yelled."

Then she stood up, pretending to be nonchalant: "Sister, I just accidentally fell, look, nothing happened."

Gu Liang on the side wanted to speak, but Qi Qingxi shook his head to stop him.

Although she didn't know what Gu Liang wanted to say, she planned to make the big thing into a small one, and didn't want the children to pay too much attention to her injury.

They are just a few sensitive children, and they managed to live a good life for two days. Don't know that something happened to her and start to live in panic.

After all, Qi Nuan was a child, and after being comforted by Qi Qingxi, she immediately put away her tears, and happily talked to her elder sister about what she did at the shopkeeper Xu's house today, and Qi Qingxi was also listening to her attentively.

Seeing that Qi Qingxi and sisters are so harmonious, Gu Liang felt extremely at ease.

Although he didn't know why Miss Qi stopped him from speaking just now, was it because she was afraid that he would tell the truth about her injury?

But he didn't know how he got hurt except he saw the young master carrying Miss Qi out and saying that she was hurt.

So how did Miss Qi get hurt?

"Little brother, should you go pick up your young master?"

Gu Liang's thoughts were interrupted by Qi Qingxi, that's right, his young master is still waiting for him to pick him up, and if he goes late, the young master will definitely punish him for not having dinner.

He immediately bid farewell to Qi Qingxi, rushed out as if fleeing, and drove the carriage all the way to Li's residence.

Seeing his actions, Qi Qingxi couldn't help feeling a little funny, and thought that she clearly wanted to draw a line with his young master, but now she owed him a favor, and she didn't know how to pay it back, so she couldn't help but sighed.

Qi Nuan asked her why she sighed.

"Sister forgot to buy vegetables today, so I'm worrying about what to make for dinner tonight."

While not the problem, it is indeed a problem.

Otherwise, let them go out to eat, and bring her a bowl of noodles when the time comes.

When she thought that she could only stay at home for the next few days, and all the things she planned to do had to be put on hold first, she wanted to sigh again.

But she glanced at Ah Nuan at the side, and she felt that she could use these few days to teach her to read and write, as if she couldn't just sit and do nothing.
