The bright moon sits on the ground

After Nie Chi received the news, he really lost his temper.

Generally speaking, it was Nie Chi or his eldest son who dealt with the Jia family.

Nie Qiu used "avoiding suspicion" as an excuse to stay in the Wangshan Inn for a long time without returning to Nie's mansion. Nie Chi didn't think too much about it at first, but he turned around and went to visit Jia Lingchang in the middle of the night, saying What empty-handed,? I will make a formal visit next time.

In this way, even if Nie Chi is a fool, he should be able to see it.

But he didn't want to understand, Nie Qiu has nothing to do, what is he doing to visit Jia Lingchang at night?

What's more, Nie Qiu didn't stay in Jia's house for a long time, did he just want to eat a bowl of rock sugar lotus root supper?

The more Nie Chi thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow this breath, so he called someone to Wangshan Inn to invite Nie Qiu back to his residence.

So not long after Nie Qiu met Zhou Ru, he received a message from Nie Chi that afternoon, and returned to Nie's Mansion that evening.

Fortunately, Jia Lingchang is a sensible person and handled Jia Ji's matter well.What's more, Xiao Xueyang also has means to protect herself, so Nie Qiu didn't worry too much about leaving her alone in Wangshan Inn.

Nie Qiu was sitting on a chair, facing Nie Chi who was impatiently tapping on the table.

He already knew that Nie Chi would talk to him about the Jia family's affairs, so he wasn't too surprised.

Nie Chi paused, but before he could speak, the door rang twice, and a maid came in.

When the bowl of hot soup was placed in front of Nie Qiu, he didn't even realize it.

Taking a closer look, it is served in a bowl made of white porcelain. Inside is warm sweet soup. The sections of white lotus root are properly placed inside, and there are scattered round lotus seeds. The maid put the porcelain When the bowl is gently placed on the table, the hot soup inside shakes gently, forming a few small arcs, and the lotus seeds are scattered, which makes the lotus root inside sweet and delicious.

Nie Chi didn't really think that he went to Jia's just for the bowl of soup, did he?

Nie Qiu sighed slightly, and ate a few mouthfuls at will while Nie Chi watched.

"What did you do at Jia's house last night?"

When he put down the spoon, Nie Chi asked suddenly.

"I just passed by by chance, so I stopped by to visit Jia Lingchang."

"Just passing by?"

"Just passing by."

Nie Qiu could tell that Nie Chi didn't quite believe his words.

However, he only stayed in Jia's mansion for so long, and he didn't go to the study room, but went to the main hall to have dinner with them. If he wanted to engage in some conspiracy with Jia Lingchang behind the scenes, it would be too late of.

As for the death in the mansion, it was related to Jia Ji's reputation, Jia Lingchang would definitely suppress it.

Even if Nie Chi planted some eyeliner in Jia's mansion, it would be difficult to know the ins and outs of this matter.

So although Nie Chi didn't believe what Nie Qiu said, but Nie Qiu didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force the question any further.

"Also, I heard that you went with a young girl?" Nie Chi stroked his chin, showing an inexplicable expression, "You don't go back to Nie's mansion these days, is it because you are with her? "

no.

I have already sent someone to investigate. You said that this is how to avoid suspicion?

Nie Qiu could almost imagine what their next conversation would be like.

I don't know if Nie Chi knew Xiao Xueyang's identity, even if he knew, Nie Qiu wouldn't say it.

With a businessman's mind like Nie Chi's, what he can exhaust will be used until he can't squeeze a drop of blood. At this time, if he knows that Xiao Xueyang is with him these days, and that he considers himself a righteous brother, I don't know. What kind of brains will be used.

So Nie Qiu's lips moved slightly.

Nie Chi straightened up and listened attentively.

Then Nie Qiu lowered his head and took a sip of rock sugar lotus root soup, without saying a word.

Um?No, just don't answer me?Nie Chi froze for a moment, then asked again tentatively.

This time Nie Qiu pretended to be deaf and dumb even more obviously, and he didn't even meet his eyes.

Nie Chi stared at the snow-white bowl of rock sugar lotus root soup on the table, and suddenly wanted to ask someone to take it away and throw it away.

After a while, as if nothing happened just now, Nie Qiu asked, "Is there anything else going on, Father?"

Nie Chi leaned back and leaned on the soft pillow, already in a state of indifference.He stared at the adopted fourth son in front of him for a long time, and finally found some signs that he might be rebellious.Or in other words, when you finally meet someone you like, you hide it, but you don't tell yourself as a father?

In short, nothing could be pried out of his mouth tonight.

Nie Chi thought to himself, he should be considered kind on weekdays, why did Nie Qiu act like this all of a sudden?

Feeling the vicissitudes of life, he sighed.

"In half a month, it will be the Lantern Festival. You can go with us." Nie Chi said in detail, "Go back to Nie's Mansion for a meal first, and then go to the Lantern Festival. We go every year, and it happens that you are here this year. Let's go together."

Nie Qiu couldn't remember whether he had been to the Lantern Festival when he was a child.

From then on, he was in Shenyun Pavilion, and he didn't even know about it.

A few years later, Shen Yun Pavilion was destroyed, he was depressed, and simply shut himself in the room.

Later, Nie Qiu was elected as the high priest, and the burden of setting an example of the righteous way also fell on him.

Nie Qiu tilted his head, trying to recall the bustling scene at the Marriage Lantern Festival, but he couldn't think of it.

I've never been there, so of course I don't have the slightest impression.

He wanted to reject Nie Chi like he did in previous years, but he couldn't get the words out.

It turned out that the Nie family would go out to the Lantern Festival every year.

There may be a hawker selling candied haws on the side of the road, an old man making clay figurines, or a woman selling lanterns. There are many people on the street, bustling with people, all talking with smiles. Hand the lantern wrapped with red thread to the man. If the other party also likes it, they will go to the riverside to release the lantern together.

The so-called Lantern Festival is roughly the same.

The so-called incompatibility is probably the same.

He and the Nie family have long been in opposite directions.

Nie Qiu was silent for a long time, until Nie Chi thought he would refuse again before opening his mouth.

"Okay," he said, "I'll come."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help reaching out for the bowl of lotus root soup with rock sugar.

I put it on my lips and tasted it, and it was already cold.

"Then remember the time, I will send someone to remind you when the time comes."

Did Nie Chi subconsciously think that he was definitely not in Nie's house at that time?

Nie Qiu thought about it, showed a smile, and responded, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Before leaving, Nie Qiu went back to his wing.

He opened the drawer and took out a yellowed letter from the bottom.

Without opening it, just touching the surface of the paper, Nie Qiu can already figure out what's inside.

Even though many years have passed, he still remembers what he once wrote.

Nie Qiu put the letter in his arms, got up and left Nie's house.

In the evening, there are very few pedestrians on the road, which is completely different from the scene during the day, it is very depressed and silent.

He left the Nie Mansion, walked slowly as usual, and gradually melted into the night.

"Nie Chi kisses me."

Nie Qiu muttered to himself.

"I regard you as my biological father. For more than ten years, you have taught me and raised me. This kind of kindness is unforgettable..."

I still remember when Nie Chi took him to the street for the first time when he was a child.Nie Qiu was short in stature, and was adopted by Nie's family after suffering outside for several years. He was weak and sick, so he had to soak it in medicine.After finally getting out of the door, Nie Qiu grabbed Nie Chi's sleeve and didn't let go. There happened to be a peddler on the street. Chi had no choice but to stop.

Nie Chi pampered him, and seeing that he liked it, he paid for it.

"It turned out that the hawthorn in there was not fresh. The next day after I ate it, I had severe stomach pains, coughing and fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and I couldn't even drink water. It was not enough to spit out the medicine, so I fell on the bed. I was retching, my eyes were swollen from crying, but my stomach was swollen, I cried out in the middle of the night, I didn't sleep well for several days, and I almost died."

"After that, I don't like the sweet taste anymore."

But children like to eat sweets, and Nie Chi has always remembered this.

But Nie Qiu really didn't like it anymore.

He forced himself to eat at first, but he vomited in the dark that night, and he was so uncomfortable that tears fell out a few drops.

Later, when I grew up, Nie Qiu would not be as serious as before when he ate sweet things. At most, he felt that it was not delicious, and subconsciously rejected it in his heart, so he didn't spit it out like before.

After so many years, Nie Chi didn't know the slightest bit.

Nie Qiu also told him tactfully, but he still couldn't remember next time.

I don't know if it's really a bad memory or not caring enough.

Nie Chi himself thought that he was good enough to Nie Qiu on weekdays, but he never knew that the candied desserts he gave out with good intentions, Nie Qiu bit the bullet and vomited them out after eating them.

In the back, scattered and trivial things piled up like a mountain, layer upon layer, making people breathless.

Fleeing back to Nie's house from Shenyun Pavilion, Nie Chi's cold eyes that night, and his words like sharp knives.

Once encountered an ambush on the way, Nie Qiu blocked Nie Chi behind him, drew his sword and dealt with the enemy in front of him.

He was injured, poisoned, dizzy in front of his eyes, the scenery and people became one, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give in, put the knife back into the sheath, braced himself, turned around to look for Nie Chi, Check him for any injuries.

"Father, nothing has happened."

Nie Chi took a step back subconsciously, coughed muffledly, and looked away.

"Let's go."

There is also an invitation to Sendai.

It was cloudy and overcast that day.

Before he was executed by Qi Qianyuan, he saw Nie Chi miss his gaze and turned his head.

There are countless such types.

Nie Chi may be the good father that the rest of the Nie family are proud of, but he is not Nie Qiu's.

The two of them just have different ways and do not conspire with each other.

It would be fine if Nie Chi was a down-to-earth, rotten person.Nie Qiu thought, in this way, he could leave the Nie family without hesitation, without worrying about what would become of the Nie family after he left.But Nie Chi wasn't. He would stay by his bedside when he was seriously ill, and he would remember to ask the servant to bring him his luggage all the way.Because he felt that Nie Qiu was suffering outside, he would order the cook to make a hot bowl of lotus root soup with rock sugar.

Before going to see Li Hanshan, Nie Qiu hesitated, wrote and wrote, and finally left such a farewell letter.

It's not just as simple as leaving himself and the Nie family clean.

He really won't go back.

After being entangled for more than ten years, each other's bodies are bloody.

Instead of this, it would be better to break it completely, at least it will only hurt for a while.

Nie Qiu sighed leisurely.

He was destined not to go to the Lantern Festival with them.

Because when he returned to Nie's house again, he would give this letter to Nie Chi.

Since then, they will not meet each other in the world, and they will go their separate ways.

The author has something to say: The plot of the letter guides the way Chapter 64～
