The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

Wang Luan was all on guard, and when someone came out of the inner room, seeing Qi Chensheng finally stopped torturing him, he was just relieved, but unexpectedly the door behind him was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

"Second brother, I just forgot—"

Qi Muyao's voice stopped abruptly, just as Wang Luan was about to get out of Qi Chensheng's arms, he was startled by the sudden movement, and couldn't help but cough and pant while clutching his chest.

Qi Chensheng hurriedly asked Wang Luan to lean back on his body, and followed his back until the cough of the person in his arms gradually subsided, then turned to look at Qi Muyao indifferently.

This poor fifth young master of the Qi family, was so frightened by his second elder brother that he almost bent his legs and leaned against the vase by the door, wishing he could pull out the lucky bamboo inside and stick it on his head without moving. Dare to move again, it took a long time before he stumbled and said: "Second, second brother, sister-in-law—no, I mean this Mr. Wang, is he okay?"

Qi Chensheng didn't say a word, just continued to look at him with gray eyes, but fortunately Wang Luan would recover and waved his hand at Qi Muyao: "Ahem, Fifth Young Master, don't worry, it's because I'm not in good health. , do not blame you."

"No, no, it's me," Qi Muyao shook his head and hands again, facing Qi Chensheng's gaze and said, "I was too reckless to offend Mr.

Wang Luan thought to himself, I don't blame you for being too reckless, it's clearly your second brother Tai Menglang.So just about to say a few more words of persuasion to Qi Muyao, but he didn't want to hear Qi Chensheng speak without guilt.

"As long as you know."

Wang Luan squeezed his hand hard, but Qi Chensheng didn't change his face, and continued to sullenly reprimanded him like a brother: "I'm not a child anymore, so it's the old lady who is so reckless. What should you do?"

"Second brother is right!" Qi Muyao couldn't think of anything else, Qi Chensheng said whatever he said, and nodded vigorously.

"Shen Sheng...it's almost done." Seeing Qi Muyao's honest look, Wang Luan couldn't bear it anymore, lowered his voice and squeezed Qi Chensheng's hand again.

Qi Chensheng narrowed his gray broken eyes, and finally calmed down: "Forget it, it's best for you to introspect yourself, the old lady is still waiting for us, so let's do that for today."

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk in with Wang Luan in his arms. Seeing that the two of them were about to enter the inner room, Qi Muyao just woke up like a dream, patted his head with the book in his hand, and shouted after him: "Two Brother, second brother and wait, I came back to find you!"

"Is there something wrong?" Qi Chensheng turned around, almost scaring Qi Muyao again, he gasped for several times, and then said cautiously: "Yes..."

"My brother said, it's not easy for the second brother to come back... I want to have a small banquet tonight. I invite you, Mr. Wang, and a few brothers to have a drink or two..."

He really didn't have the confidence to say this, thinking that he had just annoyed Qi Chensheng, how could he still be able to hire him, the job entrusted to him by his brother would most likely be ruined.

Wang Luan also thought this was the case, but unexpectedly Qi Chensheng agreed.

"Where?"

Qi Muyao was stunned for a long time before realizing that Qi Chensheng agreed, nodded quickly and said: "It's at home, my brother is asking them to clean up the place, and I will invite my second brother to come tonight."

"Okay, got it." Qi Chensheng said lightly, in fact, according to his wishes, although the brothers in the same family get along well, they are not close, so he really can go this trip or not.

But——a faint strangeness flashed in his gray eyes, if there really is a ghost inside the Qi family, then whenever there is a chance to meet this ghost, he would like to explore it.

"Okay," Qi Muyao was pure-hearted after all, and now that he got Qi Chensheng's right words, he burst out laughing, but he was still afraid that his second brother would turn his back on him, so he said, "Then I won't bother second brother and Wang. Mister." Finally, he stepped away from the vase shelf, and hurried away with the book in his arms.

With Qi Muyao's little episode, Wang Luan's uneasy thoughts were diluted a little bit. Qi Chensheng watched him relax, and held Wang Luan's hand again: "Okay Brother Ninth, we should go in. .”

Wang Luan looked up at him, calmed down, and nodded.

In the small hall inside, Western paintings framed by glass adorn the pink and white walls.Several folds of flower and bird embroidered screens faintly reveal the scene behind. Before Wang Luan can take a closer look, a woman in her 50s turns out from behind.

She was serious, with a serious look, and she was dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and she was wearing a long gown and skirt, which was very solemn in color.Jewelry such as gold bracelets and gold earrings are neat and tidy, and they have some status at first glance.

After seeing Qi Chensheng and Wang Luan, he also smiled very briefly, and soon returned to his old-fashioned look: "The second young master is here, and the old lady is still talking inside, and she asked me to come over as soon as she heard the door. Look, is it you?"

"Thank you for your hard work." Qi Chensheng nodded to her, and he couldn't talk about how close or respectful he was, but just casually replied.

Zhuo Memo didn't react after hearing this, but his eyes stayed on Wang Luan for a moment.

Wang Luan noticed her eyes, and followed her politely: "Zhuo Mo?"But before the other party said anything, Qi Chensheng stood in front of him and said directly: "Please ask Zhuo Momo to take us to see the old lady."

Only then did Zhuo Momo look away, with his hands hanging on the side of the dark autumn-colored skirt, he nodded: "Okay, Second Young Master and Mr. Wang, come with me."

After passing through several doors, Wang Luan was finally able to meet the old Mrs. Qi that everyone said.

In the small hall in the inner room, there is an arhat couch of some kind of fragrant wood, and an old woman who is nearly seventy years old is leaning on it.Her hair was all gray, but she still tied it in a bun with a light hairpin inlaid with jade, her face was kindly facing up, and there was a pair of gold mirrors in front of her eyes.

Seeing Qi Chensheng coming in, she showed a loving smile on her wrinkled face, and waved with three old emerald rings: "Oh, my Shen Sheng is finally free, come here and let me Let me see."

"Old lady, grandson is back." Qi Chensheng was not in a hurry, and walked towards her slowly, holding Wang Luan with one hand.

Although Wang Luan grew up in Wang's family, he had never formally entered the house or visited the elders. At this moment, he could only cautiously follow Qi Chensheng, calling out like him, "Hello, old lady."

"Let me see... this is the child surnamed Wang, right?" When the two got closer, the old lady of the Qi family adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, looked at her grandson, and looked at Wang Luan repeatedly, sincerely He praised happily: "What a good-looking child."

Wang Luan subconsciously looked at Qi Chensheng, Qi Chensheng just nodded at him, and in a blink of an eye, the old lady of the Qi family took his hand, patted him lightly and comforted him: "I know, you must be very scared right now. "

"But I don't have the old man's rules, so what can I do for you for no reason? As long as Shen Sheng likes it, that's fine."

Only then did Wang Luan heave a sigh of relief, but when he turned his eyes inadvertently, and looked at Qi Chensheng - he found that Qi Chensheng was obviously smiling, but there seemed to be something else in his gray eyes.

"Shen Sheng..." He opened his mouth silently, and Qi Chensheng took his other hand.

"After all, the old lady loves her grandchildren." At this time, a young female voice sounded from the side, and it was only then that Wang Luan thought about looking at the people around him.

Maybe it's because the atmosphere is more open now, there are quite a few people sitting around in this small hall at the moment, and they don't follow the rules of male and female as in the past.

The woman who spoke was about a few years older than Aunt Yu, and she was holding a seven or eight-year-old boy in her hand.That male doll was born exquisite and good-looking, but his face was extremely pale, and he looked like a frail body.

"Of course, if I don't love them, who else can I love?" The old lady smiled at him, let go of Wang Luan's hand, and let the boy sit next to her, softly coaxing : "How is Xiaoba today? Did you cry when you took the medicine?"

Xiaoba...Wang Luan matched what Qi Chensheng said before. It seems that the boy in front of him is also Qi Longxun's son, but he doesn't know his name.

The male doll was hugged by the old lady and opened his mouth, his voice was as weak as his appearance: "Drink it, old lady, I drank it all."

"Just drink it, it's good..." The old lady's attention gradually fell on her little grandson, Qi Chensheng took the opportunity to tug on his hand, and the two quietly left in front of the old lady and searched in the small hall. Sit by the window.

"Shen Sheng, did you just... think of something?" The laughter of the old lady and Xiao Ba of the Qi family seemed to be in the background, and Wang Luan was also taking this opportunity to sneak into Qi Chensheng's ear and ask.

Facing Wang Luan's question, Qi Chensheng didn't need to hide it, but just sighed and said: "The old lady has always been very kind to us grandchildren. No matter what we do, she will think that we are happy."

This is true for his grandson, and even more so for his son. Wang Luan suddenly understood what Qi Chensheng hadn't said yet.

So even though the Qi family's tutoring was strict, Qi Longxun and Qi Anfeng still dared to take women into their room without any scruple.

Qi Chensheng closed his gray eyes, so when his biological mother was still there, the old lady never treated her harshly, but facing Qi Longxun's absurd affair, the old lady still stood by her son and only persuaded him She forbears -- until death.

Therefore, his feelings for the old lady of the Qi family are complicated. He is grateful for how much the old lady took care of the two brothers after his mother's sudden accident, but sometimes he can't help feeling a little bit of resentment in his heart.

——Qi Longxun's absurd behavior today is absolutely inseparable from the connivance of the old lady of the Qi family.

"Shen Sheng..." Wang Luan knew that Qi Chensheng was definitely not feeling well at the moment, so he gently pressed his forehead on his shoulder while no one was paying attention to them.

Qi Chensheng watched the old lady of the Qi family joking with the boy, and finally turned his eyes away, and gently embraced Wang Luan.
