The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

"Then why, the old man married the old lady later?" Qi Chensheng looked at the traces of old Mr. Yang's finger gestures on the tablecloth, and continued to ask.

"Speaking of this matter, your old man was a little restless when he was young." When Mr. Yang said this, he also showed some complaints towards Qi Miao.

"At that time, the two families had just agreed on his marriage to Sister Lingwen, and he ran to our Yang family every now and then looking for a reason."

"It's all right for him to see Sister Lingwen... But at that time, Sister Lingwen and Sister Lingyue, the old lady of your family, lived together in the same yard."

Although it has been so many years, Mr. Yang still has a lot of resentment about this.Those years were still in the Qing Dynasty, unmarried girls could not easily see outsiders, and the sisters of the Yang family were in the prime of Huaichun, so they were all moved by Qi Miao, a young man like this?

"You mean... the two Miss Yangs, both fell in love with Mrs. Qi?" Hearing this, Wang Luan finally couldn't help but speak, not because of how absurd the matter was, but because——

All kinds of things from that year seem to coincide with the movie that is being filmed.

"Yes, yes." Old Mr. Yang didn't know anything about the movie, so he just sighed and said, "Isn't this embarrassing?"

Qi Chensheng had read the script, and of course realized the problem, but he didn't show it, but continued to ask: "Then what happened later? Why didn't the old lady marry that Miss Lingwen?"

"Later, I don't know exactly what happened. Anyway, it was the Yang family who found out about Sister Lingyue. Sister Lingwen and her family didn't say anything. They just asked the Qi family what they meant."

"Your old man insisted on marrying Sister Lingwen, so the two families will continue to make arrangements as before. But...but that winter, for some reason, Sister Lingwen, who was always in good health, suddenly fell ill."

"Sick?" For some reason, upon hearing these two words, Wang Luan subconsciously thought whether it might be related to holding a demon.

But he thought it was impossible, after all, Yang Lingwen was already Qi Miao's fiancée at that time, and Qi Miao liked her so much, even if she really came into contact with Zhiyao, how could the old man of the Qi family not know how to deal with it?

Unless... the circumstances at that time were really too special, which finally led to the sentence on the tombstone "It's hard to find a blue sky, and you will never lose your love".

Mr. Yang continued to narrate: "In the beginning, your old man often came to visit, and then...one afternoon, I happened to pass by Sister Lingwen's yard, and for some reason, I heard the two suddenly quarrel. "

"Ah," Mr. Yang sighed more and more, and said with some regret: "It's hard for me to go and listen, but after that time, not long after that, Sister Lingwen passed away."

"Your old man is very sad, but after all, the two of you have not officially married, and Sister Lingwen's body was buried in the church according to her intentions during her lifetime."

"Later, three or four years later, Miss Lingyue married your old man again for some reason... At that time, there were many sayings, but none of them were very pleasant, and gradually everyone stopped talking about it. gone."

When the old incident decades ago was uncovered, Mr. Yang was a little lost for a while, but fortunately, Qi Ci was by his side to comfort him.Seeing that Qi Chensheng had finished asking all the questions, he changed the topic to other places.

Mr. Yang was old after all, and after chatting with them for a while, he left with Qi Ci.

I have to say that although there were still many ambiguous details in this chat, it did help them clarify a lot of things.

Before because of Qi Wangxiang, Wang Luan was still suspicious of the old lady, but now after reviewing the events of the year, he found that the mystery of Miss Yang Lingwen was no less than that of the old lady.

"What do you think, Brother Ninth?" Qi Chensheng went to see Mr. Yang off, and then returned to Wang Luan's side, holding a slender gentleman's staff in one hand, and stroking Wang Luan's shoulder with the other.

Wang Luan shook his head. Now they got too few clues, but more and more questions were raised.

Why did the events of that year coincide with the movies they make today?Wang Luan didn't think it could be a coincidence, so who was behind all this, and what was his purpose?

And most importantly -

"Whether it's the old lady, Yang Lingwen or anyone else, no matter how deep and serious the grievances were, what does it have to do with you?" Wang Luan turned slightly, looking at Qi Chensheng with extremely beautiful eyes, but with helplessness Unraveling the confusion.

"Whether it's five years ago or five years later, there are so many Qi family members, but why does that person insist on pestering you, Shen Sheng?"

Qi Chensheng stared at Wang Luan with lowered eyes, and unconsciously stopped even tapping the gentleman's staff on the ground in his hand.

The dance music at the banquet continued, and the sounds of the piano and the violin were interlaced, playing a gorgeous movement, making people indulge in the luxury of tonight.

But there is only silence between the two of them, because they still haven't been able to find the answer.

After a long time, Qi Chensheng leaned over in front of Wang Luan, half-closed his gray eyes, reflecting the other's shadow.He reached out to support Wang Luan's chin, stroked the soft skin, and then suddenly smiled.

"Brother Jiu said that, as if I owed some romantic debt outside."

The heavy atmosphere was broken in this way, and Wang Luan didn't want to add any pressure. He let out a long and light breath, then rubbed Qi Chensheng's palm and tilted his head, pretending to be cold and said: "That's not true. Accurate, after all, Qi Ershao is also considered to have a profound family education, if this is the case, it is nothing strange."

"Brother Jiu can't wrong me," Qi Chensheng let go of Wang Luan's chin, passed through the smooth hair, held his hand, and pressed it to his chest: "Here, I can only pretend to be Brother Jiu." one person."

Wang Luan touched Qi Chensheng's heartbeat, and Qi Ershao, who was indifferent and fierce to the outside world, almost scorched his fingertips at this moment.

"Cough cough cough—"

At this moment, several deliberate throat clearings sounded from the sides of the two of them, and Wang Luan's face suddenly became hot. He wanted to withdraw his hand from Qi Chensheng's chest, but was held down by the other party and held in his hand. inside.

"Why, what do you want to teach, uncle?" Qi Chensheng didn't react that much, he straightened up from Wang Luan calmly, his gray eyes squinted at Qi Ci who had gone and returned.

"You're so old, uncle, I have nothing to teach you." Qi Ci covered the smile on his lips, raised his eyebrows and said as if sighing: "I just think it's nice to be young—"

Saying that, without waiting for Qi Chensheng to reply, he turned around and picked up the agarwood skewer from the table next to the two of them: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to get something, and I'm leaving now."

"Then I'm going to see my uncle off?" Qi Chensheng turned around and raised his gentleman's staff, half-truthfully said.

"That's unnecessary," Qi Ci shook his head, as if he was really about to leave, but his footsteps stopped again: "Speaking of which, when I was sending Mr. Yang out just now, I suddenly looked up and saw that the stars tonight are very bright. It looks good, so I think of the days when I taught you to recognize the stars."

Qi Chensheng was taken aback, and looked at Qi Ci with a serious expression, waiting for the other party's next words.

"Xingxiu chose the star supervisor by fate, but there are so many people in the world, and there are more than thousands of people with similar fates. What about those who were not selected?"

"What does Uncle mean—" Qi Chensheng frowned, before he could ask, he was interrupted by Qi Ci.

"I don't mean anything, I just thought of it by chance, so I just mentioned it casually." Qi Ci rewrapped the agarwood skewers around his hands, and then patted Qi Chensheng on the shoulder: "Mo Jun told me a few days ago, old man After all, as you get older, whether it's the Qi family or the star supervisor, I still have to watch you in the future."

"If you need anything else, you can go to me. It's better not to delay this matter."

Qi Chensheng nodded after hearing this, Qi Ci smiled again, turned around and left the banquet hall of Zhou Mansion again.

------

After meeting Mr. Yang, most of Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng's thoughts were on the past.

However, the two of them were still in the Zhou Mansion. Not far away, Master Qi San was holding Zhu Chenghuan in his arms, chatting with others triumphantly. The matter in front of him must be investigated after all.I had no choice but to draw my attention back for the time being, and looked into the banquet hall again.

"My third uncle, you can be considered as old and strong." As the time continued to pass by, Qi Chensheng was really tired of looking at the appearance of Master Qi San.

But it was not all fruitless, Wang Luan gradually noticed that Zhu Chenghuan's actions seemed to be a little wrong.At first he was a little uncertain, but after looking carefully for a while, he became more sure of his guess.

Although Zhu Chenghuan has been by the side of Master Qi San and chatted with him, her attitude towards different people is also somewhat different.

If there is only a man in front of her, her speech and behavior will be as usual, and her generosity will reveal her charm, which is very attractive.

But if the man has a female companion, she doesn't behave so naturally, often uses a decorative feather fan to half-cover her face, and often doesn't say anything, as if deliberately reducing her sense of existence.

Not long after, Master Qi San still had more to say, but Zhu Chenghuan whispered something in his ear, coquettishly took his arm, and walked towards the side door of the banquet hall.

Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng looked at each other, needless to say, Qi Chensheng supported Wang Luan and followed quietly.

The side door leads to the garden behind the Zhou mansion.Although it is already winter now, but because many trees such as pines and cypresses are planted in the garden, which cover the street lights layer by layer, it looks very secretive.

Because of the guidance of the bone butterfly, these did not become obstacles for Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng, and they soon heard Zhu Chenghuan's voice through the fence of trees and flowers.

"Third Master, you promised me."

Her tone was delicate and soft, with a little grievance. It was a common trick to coquettish her lover, but Wang Luan felt that there was something else in it.

"Hey," Master Qi San seemed to be trying to coax her, but he was a little helpless: "This matter... you are embarrassing me."

"How can this be considered embarrassing?" Zhu Chenghuan seemed to be angry, and his words were a little excited, and he said as if he was about to cry: "What did you say at the beginning, that you would not let me be wronged, that you would divorce sooner or later, and marry me in a glorious manner?" .”

"Why doesn't this count?"

"Oh, Huan'er, don't cry." Seeing the beauty crying, the third master Qi panicked, and changed his way of coaxing: "I, I will go and tell the old man tomorrow to let you enter the gate of Qi's house." OK?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chenghuan was not satisfied, and continued to say half-crying and half-annoyed: "What can I do if I enter your Qi family's door? If it spreads out, it's not like being a little wife and aunt, making people laugh for nothing."

"How do you want me to film in the future!"

It stands to reason that this third master Qi can be regarded as a veteran in the field of love. He has dealt with countless women over the years, but Wang Luan always feels that his response is not so clever.

"Hey, who dares to laugh at our Qi family!" The third master Qi was really losing his temper by Zhu Chenghuan's crying, and sighed irritably, "I...it's really hard to get a real divorce."

Zhu Chenghuan was still crying, and said intermittently: "Why can't you leave? Your wife has been unable to support a son for so many years, but she occupies the seat and refuses to give up. You are dead!"

"You don't even think about it, the same family, how many children the Elder Master has, but what about you?"

"This is what outsiders think of you, and it's not all because of her..."

Wang Luan's words are really nonsensical, not to mention that Ruling is still there, even if the third master Qi really has no heirs, it is also the retribution of his own absurd actions, what's the matter with Mrs. Guan Qi?

But such a completely unreasonable rhetoric seems to have given Master Qi San the most suitable excuse, allowing him to get rid of everything and let him vent.

"You, you are right!"

"The way I am now is because of that woman!"

Wang Luan became more and more confused by the reaction of the third master Qi. He looked up at Qi Chensheng, but Qi Chensheng shook his head at him.

Is there really a problem?

The third master's emotions seemed to be inexplicably ignited in this way, and he began to angrily recount all the mistakes of the third wife over the years.

It seemed that the third lady was not his wife who had been with him for many years, but an enemy he hated to the bone.

Zhu Chenghuan, on the other hand, echoed at the right time, and occasionally said a few words, which aroused Master Qi San's emotions even more.

In this way, seeing that the resentment of the third master Qi towards the third wife was about to reach its peak, Zhu Chenghuan added the last fire.

"In that case... why does the third master keep her?"

"Even if you can't get a divorce, you can—"

"It can also make her disappear."
