After rebirth, mother and son are

Si Wei asked Qi Zhong to pick him up, Qi Zhong still felt that Si Wei was making a fuss out of a molehill, but Si Wei insisted, and even asked Shaoyao to tell the housekeeper, Qi Zhong had to listen, so he had to go.

Qi Zhong came back to Jinglan Court within less than a cup of tea, "Ma'am, I met Mei Xiangfu at the door, told her where is Young Madam, do you want to go and see?"

"The master didn't come back together," Si Wei felt that something was wrong, but it was possible that he fell in love with other women so that the family would not be an eyesore.

"No, it's Madam Meixiang herself." The coachman sent Master Qi and the others to Tianxiang Tower and was sent back, so at this time, Master Qi is in Tianxiang Tower by himself? .

"Follow me to have a look!" Haitang and Shaoyao hurriedly dressed up.After he finished dressing up, Liu Minyi, who hadn't been to the door for many days, came to Jinglanyuan with a group of people, including Meixiang who went to Tianxianglou with Master Qi but came back first.

"Mother!" Liu Minyi bowed politely, and then said to the girl behind her, "Go, see if there is anything to clean up, go and clean it up."

Si Wei saw that Liu Minyi didn't move, and didn't express anything else.The Begonia Shaoyao beside her didn't go too far, and let the maids clean up everywhere, but stopped when a little girl wanted to touch Siwei's room, "Master doesn't like others to touch his things, sisters go find work elsewhere .”

"Mother, I'm here today, one is the order of my husband before he left, and the other is that Aunt Mei Xiang has just returned. She said that father-in-law has taken a fancy to the red card of Tianxiang Tower and wants to redeem his body and take him to the mansion to raise him..." Liu Minyi While talking, he paid attention to Si Wei's expression, and stopped unconsciously when he said "take it into the house and raise it".

Seeing Liu Minyi stop, Si Wei looked at her suspiciously, then motioned her to continue. .

"Ah, oh," Liu Minyi regained consciousness, "Aunt Meixiang said that father-in-law didn't bring enough money, so let her come back and get it." After Liu Minyi finished speaking, she stopped looking at Si Wei.

Shao Yao handed over the pen and paper with great discernment. "How much money did the master bring with him when he went out? How much money does he need to redeem himself?"

"My father-in-law went out and brought 100 taels of silver to redeem himself..." Liu Minyi looked at Mei Xiang who was beside her, and beckoned her to speak.

"I don't know how much silver is needed to redeem my body, but the master asked me to come back and take another 1000 taels of silver!" Mei Xiang had no choice but to reply.

1000 taels!Isn't Mei Xiang afraid of the wind flashing her tongue? "What kind of stunning beauty is worth 1000 taels?" Although Mr. Qi spent a lot on Si Wei, Mr. Qi had a reason to marry him.But this woman is different, 1000 taels of silver, if there is no accident, it will not cost Master Qi to grind that one into an embroidery needle on her body.

"It's a hundred times stronger than us vulgar fans!" Mei Xiang said sour words, but she couldn't hear the sourness.

Si Wei nodded when he heard the words, "How much money is there in the company, can it be 1000 taels?".

Liu Minyi kept an eye out, "There are a lot of accounts coming in and out in the past two days. I haven't checked them one by one, and I don't know if it's enough for 1000 taels. Go back and check carefully."

"Why can't Gongzhong even take out the money?! The master is still waiting in Tianxiang Tower, don't you deliberately refuse to give the money!" Mei Xiang became anxious when she heard that Liu Minyi didn't say to give it.

"Young Madam didn't say no, she just went to check the accounts, you go back first, the money is ready, I'll find someone safe to send it over." Si Wei raised his hand as a signal, and Shao Yao read out.

Si Wei thought for a while, "That's fine, you can go back and wait. If you're on the road, go back and have a rest. I'll call you when you're done."

Mei Xiang still wanted to say something, she opened her mouth, and said after a long while: "Hurry up, the master is waiting, I know the public can get the money!" After speaking, she blessed herself and left Jinglan Garden.

"Mother, do you really want to give her money? I think this is a bit weird..." Liu Minyi walked two steps closer to Si Wei, and said in a low voice. .

Si Wei nodded helplessly, he knew it must be something bad! "I'm afraid you'll offend someone you don't want to mess with. The most fearful thing is bandits who kidnap the master and ask for a ransom. Ask Qi Zhong to go to Tianxiang Tower to find out what's going on. Go get some money first, I'm afraid it will be useful." superior."

Although Liu Minyi said that the housekeeper is also capable, but she is a woman after all, and she is not as comprehensive as Si Wei thinks when encountering things.After listening to Si Wei's instructions, Liu Minyi nodded and hurriedly went to follow suit.

As soon as she came out of Jinglan Garden, Haitang chased her out, "Young Madam, the master said, Madam Mei Xiang has been working hard all the way, so I ask you to send two more people to take care of her."

Liu Minyi's eyes flickered, "Okay, go and report to your mother and tell me that I understand."

Haitang nodded, saluted, and turned back to Jinglan Garden.After seeing off the idlers and others, Si Wei was still circling around the room irritably.

"Brother, are you worried about Master Qi?" Qiao'er followed behind Si Wei, raising her head and asking.

"Yeah, brother doesn't feel too good!" Si Wei lowered his head and forced a wry smile. .

"Master, don't worry, the master used to go out and didn't have enough money, so he sent someone back to pick it up. It's fine." Shao Yao came in with Zhan'er in her arms, followed by Zhiqing. .

"The girls are all gone?" Si Wei took the little guy who kept barking "Ba, Ba" and kissed him on the cheek.The little guy was satisfied, and obediently lay in Siwei's arms and stared at Qiao'er on the ground.

"Let's go," Haitang, who had gone out to pass on the message, just came back, and answered, "Master, do you think there is something wrong with Mrs. Mei Xiang? Could it be that she colluded with bandits...".

Si Wei shook his head, "Then how dare she come back and ask for money."

"Then..." Haitang wanted to guess again, but was stopped by Shaoyao, "Don't guess blindly, if you scare the master again, you will know when Big Brother Qi Zhong comes back."

Haitang looked at Si Wei's already discolored face, didn't go any further, and changed the subject to say something else.Although several people tried their best to be as usual, once the seeds of uneasiness were planted, they would take root and germinate very quickly, so the entire Jinglan Garden was shrouded in an atmosphere of uneasiness.

Because Tianxiang Tower was in the next town, Qi Zhong went out by himself, and it took him a long time to go back and forth. He went out after noon, and Haitang and Shaoyao guessed that he would not come back that night, so they tried to persuade Si Wei to sleep.

Si Wei tossed and turned for a long time, seemed to have fallen asleep in a haze, and seemed to be still awake. When he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard a violent knock on the door, and immediately woke up.Soon Haitang's voice was heard shouting: "Who, what's the matter so late?"

I don't know what was answered outside, but Haitang's voice became a little anxious: "Brother Qi? Wait, I'll go and wake up the master!"

Hearing this, Si Wei sat up suddenly, picked up his clothes and put them on his body, it's definitely not a good thing for Qi Zhong to knock on the door at such a time.

When Haitang and Shaoyao opened the door and came in, Si Wei was putting on his coat, and Zhiqing had already opened the door for Qi Zhong.Qi Zhong didn't care about etiquette, pushed Zhi Qing away and rushed into Si Wei's room.

"Hey, Big Brother Qi, the master hasn't gotten up yet!" Zhi Qing hurriedly chased after him and stopped him at the door of the inner room.

"Ma'am, madam, it's bad!" Qi Zhong's voice trembled, "Something serious happened!"

"What's the matter?" Si Wei didn't care about his disheveled clothes, he opened the door of the inner room and asked.

"Master, master..." Qi Zhong wiped his eyes, "something happened to master...".

"What's the matter, talk slowly!" Si Wei was furious in his heart, but seeing the rough man in front of him wiping his tears in embarrassment, he couldn't bear to urge him.

Fortunately, Qi Zhong controlled his emotions in time and told what he had seen and heard. "Madam asked me to go, so I followed the carriage to the next town. It wasn't dark when I went, but there were already soliciting girls in Huajie. I thought it was a little early, so I waited at the street corner for a while, and it was dark I just went in later, but the Tianxiang Building was dark, and it didn’t look like someone was doing business. I gave some money to the girls in the flower building next door, and then I found out that someone was killed in the Tianxiang Building yesterday, and I discovered it early in the morning. Anyone who could run ran away."

With a glimmer of hope, Si Wei asked, "What about the master? Where is the master?"

Qi Zhong cried again, "Those girls said, the one who died was the master, and the body was carried away by the guards after noon."

Hearing this, everyone in the room turned pale, and Haitang trembled and said, "Is it a mistake? Is it a mistake? Although our master often goes to Hualou, we know that he is Lord Hou's father." Not much, is it?"

Qi Zhong shook his head, "I also asked those girls if they made a mistake, and they said they did it right! I haven't seen anyone who takes a woman to a kiln. That woman asks her mother to bring a sign to greet her every day at the gate of Xianglou. , said that it was Lord Hou’s father who came to visit, and he didn’t want to be served by vulgar fans. Many people have seen and heard it!”

"I didn't hear a word, I didn't hear a word!" Si Wei clenched his fist and slammed the door hard. .

"Master!" Shao Yao hurriedly hugged Si Wei's hand, "Now is not the time to talk about this, what should we do now?"

Si Wei walked to the coffee table in the outer room and sat down in a daze. He didn't speak for a while, and the servants stood still and didn't dare to rush. "Brother Qi, does the young lady know about this?"

"As soon as I got back, I came to you first. No one else knew about it, but the two towns are not far away. The murder case should be reported by tomorrow at the latest. There is also the yamen. , it's time to come to the door tomorrow..." Qi Zhong Larry chatted a lot.

Si Wei nodded to show he knew. "Shaoyao, you can dress up for me. Haitang, go to Jingtaiyuan and call the young lady over. Remember not to disturb others. Brother Qi, go and call the housekeeper too."

Si Wei walked back to the inner room, sat in front of the dressing table with eyes half closed, and quietly let Shao Yao move around on his body.If it was normal, he would definitely bargain with Shao Yao, not to get this or that, but at this moment, his heart was blank, completely ignoring how Shao Yao made him look.

To be honest, although Si Wei was not from a small family in his previous life, after all, there are few relatives on both sides of his parents, and the population is relatively small.In a big family like the Qi family with nearly a hundred members, Si Wei actually didn't know how to survive.In the past, Master Qi was there, as long as he stayed peacefully in the small world of Jinglan Garden, but what should we do now?

Si Wei felt that today's night was extraordinarily dark, so dark it seemed that it would never dawn again.No, the sun will still rise tomorrow morning, and the only thing that will be dark is his future destiny...
