The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

Naturally, Wang Luan also recognized her, but since the meeting at Qi Wangxiang's funeral a few months ago, he has never met the third lady again.

Not to mention the embarrassment that she came to talk about marriage for Qi Chensheng that day.As for Qi Wangxiang's death, although it was his own fault, it was him and Qi Chensheng who did it.

In this way, even if the third wife didn't know the real cause of his son's death, Wang Luan didn't want to face her again.

It's a pity that the sky didn't come true, he hadn't gone far, the third lady looked towards this side, and the two happened to meet each other's eyes, and they were a little dazed for a while.

But soon, the third lady seemed to have decided on something, and walked towards him——

"Mr. Wang, we haven't seen each other for some time."

----

The hot black tea was poured into a delicate cup, and Wang Luan added two pieces of brown sugar to it calmly, secretly looking at the third lady opposite.

The current situation is quite similar to that in the Willow Courtyard of the Qi family a few months ago. Just after the two met, the third lady proposed to find a place to sit, and Wang Luan did not refuse.

The third wife, who has experienced the pain of bereavement, no longer has the calm and elegant appearance before, the hair on the ears and temples is stained with silver frost, and the face is very haggard. In just a few months, she looks like a teenager. It's pitiful and deplorable.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Wang here." The third lady picked up the teacup, took a deep sip, and said with a touch of fatigue.

"Yes, I didn't think of it either." Wang Luan really couldn't figure out why the third lady appeared here. She seemed to be looking for someone, but Wang Luan felt that the person the third lady was looking for was not him.

But if it wasn't for him, why would you want to find a place to drink tea and chat with him like now?

After all, the third lady is also sensitive. She noticed Wang Luan's question, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said helplessly, "Mr. Wang must... want to know why I appear here."

Wang Luan didn't hide anything, just nodded and said: "Yes, I really can't think of why the third lady came here."

"I..." The third lady seemed helpless, with bitterness in her eyes, she hesitated before saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I'm not here to trouble you."

"I'm here to see someone else."

Wang Luan rubbed the crimson ring between his fingers, and felt that the third lady's expression was not fake, so he tentatively asked, "Who is that person? Do you need my help?"

"That person is..." The third lady felt a little hard to say, but finally couldn't resist the urgency in her heart, and whispered the short name.

"I vaguely heard people around the master mention that his name is Zhu Chenghuan."

"It's her?" Wang Luan's sparrow-like eyes were slightly dazed, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. Although they found out that Zhu Chenghuan seemed to be secretly dating someone, they never expected that he would be connected with the third master of the Qi family.

Xu Shi had kept it in her heart for too long, and the third lady finally couldn't help it, her eyes were slightly red and she said: "Actually, the third master has brought people to the mansion all these years."

"Although I feel uncomfortable in my heart, after a long time, I can see it. In addition, the old man is strict now and doesn't allow people to enter the door easily. The old man just wants to accept Miss Zhu and Miss Li. It’s just a room outside, so what can I do.”

"But this time—this time, Master actually wants to divorce me!"

"How could the third master be like this..." Although Wang Luan had known for a long time that the eldest master of the Qi family and the third master were extremely absurd, the third master was still in awe of the old man. Besides, it didn't make too much trouble.

But now, how could she even say outrageous things like divorce?

"Did the third master say this himself? Is it really because of that Miss Zhu?" Wang Luan asked after sensing something was wrong.

"It's what the third master said. I hid behind the screen that day and heard it with my own ears." The third lady almost shed tears, pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a sob: "Actually, it's not all about that Miss Zhu." , since Xiang'er left, the master has--"

"He's blaming me! Blame me for failing to give Xiang'er a good body and let him go at such a young age."

When Qi Wangxiang was mentioned, the third lady couldn't help crying.And Wang Luan really couldn't say anything, so he had to listen.

"Actually, I know that the third master has been blaming me for not a day or two. Ever since Xiang'er became ill when he was a child, the third master has been, he-"

"When Xiang'er was five years old, he almost had a high fever and almost died of illness. At that time, the third master was in a hurry, and wished to exchange his life with my life."

"It's the old lady who can't stand it any longer. She took Xiang'er to her and saved our mother's life with great difficulty. But now——my son, why did he go away!"

When Wang Luan heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback, as if he caught something suddenly: "You mean, Wang Xiang was sick when he was a child and was taken care of by the old lady?"

When Qi Wangxiang's incident happened that night, Qi Chensheng had already guessed that it was impossible for Qi Wangxiang to research the method of controlling the demon to extend his life by himself. After all, the starting year was so early, there must be someone behind his back.

As for this person, they think that the most likely possibility is the third master or the third wife.

But later when the Qi family only said that Qi Wangxiang died of a sudden illness, their reaction was not as if they knew the truth.Just in case, he also secretly used the canary to seduce at the funeral, and he can basically confirm that this matter has nothing to do with them.

Hearing what the third lady said today, Wang Luan immediately became vigilant, and slowly released the power of the canary bit by bit, the faint golden light almost merged with the sunlight reflected from the window.

"That's right..." The third lady was still crying. She was already immersed in sadness, but she was easily attracted by Wang Luan: "At that time, the doctor also saw it and drank the medicine. My son's illness has not improved at all, and I really can't do anything."

"Later, the old lady said that Xiang'er's life expectancy is short, and it might be better if she wants to enjoy the life of their old man."

Wang Luan's frowning brows did not loosen, and the golden light overflowed a little, and then he asked: "After going to the old lady's place, Wang Xiang's body has really improved?"

"Yeah, I didn't dare to believe it at first, but there was nothing I could do, and the old lady opened her mouth, so I had no choice but to send Xiang'er there."

"But from that day on, every time I went to see him, I saw...Xiang'er was following the old lady, being taken care of by Zhuo Momo, and his complexion became better day by day!"

The third lady seemed to be back again, those days full of hope, but as the golden fragments dispersed, she also slowly fell back into the cruel reality.

"Xiang'er, my Xiang'er..."

Wang Luan didn't speak again this time, the old lady of the Qi family who had only met a few times appeared in front of his eyes.

Her family name is Yang, and her photos also appeared in the Skoll Church, and she had a close relationship with Qi Wangxiang back then.

Wang Luan was unwilling to doubt anything easily, but when coincidences appeared frequently, they had to make him think deeply.On the second day after returning from Skoll Church, Qi Chensheng told him that the old man forbade them to continue to investigate the events of the year.

According to what he meant, he felt that Mrs. Qi might have done something disgraceful back then, and he didn't want the younger generations to know.But at this moment, Wang Luan thought of another possibility.

The old man Qi's attitude is more like wanting to protect something, or even helping someone to continue to hide it.

Could this person be the old lady of the Qi family?

For a while, more questions came to my mind. If it was really the old lady of the Qi family, then what was her purpose for doing this?She is already the mistress of the Qi family, so why is she so obsessed with Zhiyao.

Is this related to Lingwen. Yang who is sleeping underground?

How much does the old man of the Qi family know about these things? The reason why Qi Chensheng and the others are not allowed to continue to investigate is because this matter will not cause any harm to the Qi family?Or is it because the old lady of the Qi family is more important to him?

Too many thoughts were mixed up, and it was only based on the weak assumption that the old lady of the Qi family had a problem. Wang Luan really didn't think he could come up with any answer.

At this moment, the closed door was suddenly knocked, and Feng Shan's reminder sounded from the opposite side: "Ma'am, Missy is here."

"Understood, just invite her in." Wang Luan had already exhausted Canary's strength, and tried not to leave any breath behind.

The third wife, who was still immersed in grief, when she heard that Qi Ruling was coming, hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and tidied her slightly messy hair. When she managed to tidy up, Ruling also came in.

"Third Madam, Mr. Wang." Ruling looked at the room in surprise, where Wang Luan and the Third Madam were sitting opposite each other.Although she was recognized as returning to the Qi family, she never called "Mother" to the third wife. The relationship between the two is actually not bad, but neither of them has passed that hurdle.

"Ru Ling, you're here." The third lady took another sip of the cold black tea, with a slightly choked voice, and raised her eyes to look at Ru Ling.

"I should have come here a long time ago, but I was delayed by the matter at hand, but I kept Madam waiting for a long time." Ruling said, and made a family salute to the third Madam.

"It's nothing. I had a good chat with...Mr. Wang." The third lady shook her head with a forced smile. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Wang Luan at the side again. Thinking of her gaffe just now, she felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Luan had already asked what he wanted to know, and he didn't want to embarrass the third wife or Ruling any longer, so he stood up and said to the two of them: "I've been out for a long time, I guess Director Liu It's my turn to play."

"I won't bother you here anymore."

After speaking, he nodded to Ruling and left with Fengshan.
