I wish for a long time

Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xie Mansion.

"Brother! You can't go!"

Xie Qiyao desperately grabbed the door frame, stood in front of the blue-gray man, and shouted with her neck stuck.

"Yao'er, even if my brother begs you, just let me meet her, even if it's just from afar."

The man in blue and gray pleaded bitterly, intending to push Xie Qiyao away and go outside.

"Xie Changze! Be sober! Sister Shao'er is already married!!"

Xie Changze's body trembled, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes revealed a trace of sadness, "So what, she must have some unavoidable reasons to commit herself to the Marquis of Zhenyuan!"

Xie Qiyao's eyes sank, then she shook her head and said, "I see that Sister Shao'er doesn't look like she's being forced, I'm afraid it's because you're overthinking it, brother."

Xie Changze frowned when he heard the words, and slowly formed a fist with his right hand, "No... no, your sister Shao'er has always been patient, even if she got angry in the Hou's mansion, she would never show it to others, don't you know her well?" ."

Xie Qiyao was startled when she heard the words, she suddenly felt that what her brother said was not unreasonable.

Sister Shao'er has a calm personality, and she can only show her lively side in front of her uncles, aunts or acquaintances, and she has a clever mind, so people rarely worry about her on weekdays.

If it is true what her brother said, Sister Shao'er is really likely to hide it in her heart and not tell others.

Thinking of this, Xie Qiyao frowned.

The more Xie Changze thought about it, the more he felt right, he couldn't help pushing his sister away and rushed out.

"Brother! Even so, you can't go!"

Xie Qiyao grabbed his sleeve, and because she couldn't resist Xie Changze with all her strength, she was so taken that she almost threw the food box from her hand.

"I must rescue her from the cage, don't stop me."

Xie Changze's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "No one would say a word for her and the Qi family. I'll let her live in another person's fence again, wandering without support!"

Xie Qiyao bit her lips, her eyes were a little moist, "Brother, I understand your feelings, since Uncle Qi's family was in trouble, sister Shao'er's whereabouts were unknown, brother, you were depressed for half a year before getting better, and sister Shao'er and Yao'er got close , Yao'er doesn't understand the taste of it."

She paused for a moment, then smiled wryly, "If this accident hadn't happened, sister Shao'er would have been my sister-in-law."

Xie Changze clenched his fists tightly, and even began to tremble slightly because of the force.

"But Sister Shao'er is now the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan. If you go so rashly, how will Sister Shao'er deal with herself? If Marquis Zhenyuan is suspicious, or someone finds out, we might save her?"

Xie Qiyao burst into tears as she said that, why didn't she want to snatch Sister Shao'er back immediately and hide her at home, as long as they were careful, no one would notice.

But the current situation is unclear, she didn't even have time to ask sister Shao'er if she was doing well, how she escaped, and how she became Mrs. Zhenyuanhou.

She wiped the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "I'll go ask Sister Shao'er today, brother, don't worry."

Xie Changze was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "I see."

Hearing this, Xie Qiyao let go of him, sighed slightly, picked up the food box, turned and walked towards the door.

"Yao'er, wait a minute!"

Xie Changze suddenly ran into the room, and after about the time to touch a cup of tea, he walked out quickly holding a piece of paper.

"Brother, you are..."

Xie Changze picked up the food box and pressed the paper under the bottom plate.

He put the food box back together, smiled lightly, "It's okay, she will understand when she sees it."

……

Hou Mansion, small kitchen.

"Miss's appetite is not very good recently, and she doesn't think she has any symptoms... He Yang, you have read books and know a lot, but do you have any folk remedies or medicinal diets that can improve one or two things?"

Wei Yu leaned against the window sill, crossing her arms and meditating.

When He Yang heard Wei Yu calling him, he thought for a moment, and while stirring the soup in the casserole, he replied: "I heard from the old mother in the mansion that if a bride eats too little and is tired, it's probably..."

She looked at Wei Yu and blinked, "You are happy."

Wei Yu let out an "ah" with a strange expression on her face, "Is...you happy??"

"pat-"

The sudden noise at the side caught the eyes of the two, and Wei Yu turned her head and asked, "Lian Qing, what's wrong?"

Lian Qing raised her head in panic when she heard the words, and quickly replied: "No...it's nothing, it's just that I didn't hold the spoon, it's okay."

Seeing this, Wei Yu nodded, "Then be careful."

Then she stroked her chin and thought.

What He Yang said is not unreasonable, counting it will take four months for Brother Ye and Miss to get married, even for that matter, it will take two or three months, if you count the days, it is indeed very possible.

Wei Yu became excited all of a sudden, she hurriedly pulled He Yang over, and rushed out of the small kitchen with the freshly filled soup, "He Yang, you have a lot of knowledge, come with me to see if there are any clues!"

He Yang was taken out without taking off her apron.

The only sound in the kitchen was the crackling of firewood.

Lian Qing crouched by the stove, took out a purple pouch from her bosom, held it in her hands, her eyes were deep and deep.

The pouch is embroidered with exquisite patterns, connecting the same branches, mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Lian Qing's eyes became darker and darker, and her hands became tighter and tighter.After a long time, she suddenly let go of her hand and threw the pouch into the fire.

In an instant, sparks flew and crackled.

……

bamboo garden.

Qi Shaoan sat on the bed, staring at the bedside in a daze.

When she woke up this morning, she didn't see Ajiu again.

This person seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, leaving early and returning late, without a trace.

Couldn't even speak a few words a day.

Qi Shaoan lowered her eyes slowly, fingering the hem of her skirt.

Even his old friend didn't have time to talk to her.

Qi Shaoan's heart felt depressed for a moment, she pursed her lips, and enlightened herself.

Ajiu was busy with political affairs, so naturally he cared less about himself, and being left and right was not a big deal, besides, Ajiu worked so hard for his second brother's affairs, so why should he worry about her more.

Qi Shaoan took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

After Ajiu finishes working for a while, he can talk to her again.

"Sister-in-law, a lady surnamed Xie came to the house and said she was looking for you."

Lu Lin walked in quickly, Qi Shaoan was stunned for a moment, and quickly recovered, only then did he realize which lady it was.

"Hurry up please."

Not long after, a girl in red stepped into the room under the sunlight outside.

Qi Shao'an stood up and watched the girl in red take two quick steps towards him, but stopped not far away from him, biting her lip and looking at him.

Qi Shaoan stood in front of her, looked at her, and smiled softly.

"Sister Shao'er..."

Seeing this, the girl in red puckered her mouth and threw herself into Qi Shaoan's arms.

"I finally see you again."

……

Wei Yu was carrying soup, but she saw outsiders were present outside the door, so she gave He Yang a look, and went in by herself.

When the people in the room saw the person coming, they all stopped and looked back at her.

"Miss, the stomach-warming soup is ready."

Qi Shao'an smiled lightly when he heard the words, his eyes fell on the plates of pastries on the table, and said: "It just so happens that Yao'er brought a lot of food, and I'm choking with anxiety."

Only then did Wei Yu look at the person opposite Qi Shao'an, and at this moment Xie Qiyao was also looking at her.

"Sister Shao'er, where is Qingzhi next to you..."

Qi Shaoan's smile froze on his face, and the corners of his lips dropped at a visible speed.

Seeing Qi Shao'an's reaction like this, Xie Qiyao knew that she had slipped her tongue, and hurriedly picked up the teacup, covering it up in panic.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

After a long time, Qi Shaoan let out a breath slowly, "Not here anymore."

Xie Qiyao opened her mouth, tried her best to restrain the question she almost blurted out, and looked at Qi Shao'an quietly.

Qi Shaoan scooped up a small spoonful of soup, took a sip, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's been a long time, and it's all over."

Xie Qiyao bit her lip, and finally asked, "Sister Shao'er, have you been... well these two years?"

Qi Shaoan gave a pause to the hand holding the spoon.

it is good?

She blinked her eyes, how can she tell clearly whether her life is good or bad.

From the world to purgatory, and from the bottom of the mud to the clouds, she has experienced it all in less than two years.

"It's okay."

Qi Shaoan heard himself saying this.She blinked and came back to herself.

That's right, I have died once, and there is nothing I can't get past.

Xie Qiyao heard it in her ears, and her eyebrows became a little more worried.

She could see Qi Shaoan's avoidance of talking about it, and she could also see the bitterness she tried to hide, so she couldn't help feeling distressed and a little sour.

Things are different, and that may be the case.

Close friends who used to talk about everything, now face to face, but don't know what to say.

Xie Qiyao pursed her lips, looking at Qi Shao'an's expressionless face, her heart became even more worried.

What did Sister Shao'er go through that would make those bright eyes become so silent.

Even if it was a smile, it was alienation that she had never seen before.

The tip of Xie Qiyao's nose was sore, she blinked vigorously by lowering her head to drink water, and suppressed the tears in her eyes.

"Sister Shao'er, how is the Marquis of Zhenyuan treating you?"

Qi Shao's eyes, as quiet as winter water, finally revealed a gleam of light, and she bent her lips, "Very good."

After all, in her mind unconsciously, the appearance of the man who went out early and returned late these days reeking of alcohol, she couldn't help pouting.

Someday I have to catch her and ask her.

And Qi Shaoan's expression change just now fell into Xie Qiyao's eyes exactly. From the moment she asked, she has been observing Qi Shaoan's expression.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with saying that it was very good, but then there was such a trace of "resentment" on Qi Shao'an's face, Xie Qiyao immediately imagined it.

She pursed her lips, patted the unopened second-layer food box on the side, and said softly: "I specially asked the cook to make Tanghua cakes, sister Shao'er remember to try it."

After finishing speaking, she took a meaningful look at Qi Shao'an, then got up to leave.

Qi Shao'an nodded, originally wanted to send Xie Qiyao out, but she drove her back, so she had to ask Wei Yu to take her out.

After Xie Qiyao left, Qi Shaoan looked at the food box on the table, a little dazed.

"Young Madam, this is the Jade Soup sent by Master Zhang, please try it."

Qi Shaoan came back to his senses, seeing that it was Lianqing, he immediately smiled, "Okay."

She pointed to the pastry on the table and the food box next to it, and said softly, "I can't eat it all by myself, so share it with the people in the yard."

Lian Qing froze for a moment, then took it over, "Thank you, Young Madam."
