Yun Xi was born. She has been in the capital city and Changning Hou Mansion since I can remember.

Therefore, she had no feelings for the word "hometown" and had no even a vague concept.

The little girl blinked, still looking innocent: "Hometown? Did my aunt say she went back to Jiangnan?"

"Yes." Mrs. Yun nodded, paused, and said again: "Or you don't want to go to Jiangnan, you can go to other places."

"But why? We are used to living here and have a good life." Yun Xi was puzzled.

Mrs. Yun looked at her face and smiled gently on the corners of her lips: "You are getting older and you should almost think about getting married. We are now living under someone else's roof. Although the wife and the eldest lady treat us well, after all... the identity of being a slave is not very good. I think I can find you a better family in-laws when I change my place."

Yun Xi has never been too busy with her brains. She felt unhappy and curled her lips directly: "I am not a slave, and the lady treats me well. Isn't it the same to continue staying here?"

When wealthy families give birth to children, they often have no choice. Even if the master values ​​them, in order to continue using them, they are mostly servants in the family, and their children continue to be slaves and servants.

On the contrary, those that are not very useful-

Give some money to please the confidants around the master and help talk. When they reach old age, they may allow them to redeem themselves and find a way out for marriage.

Because Xingluo and Yunxi are still young, so far, Qi Huan has not mentioned to the two of them that they betrothed.

But obviously-

Yun Xi was not worried about this.

As for the fact that she and Madam Yun are not slaves, Qi Huan and Yang's confidants know that they are all known. As for others, she has no aunt and nephew and shows off from time to time, few people know about it.

Because they saw their aunt and nephew stayed with Yang for more than ten years and were already confidants, people inside and outside naturally thought that they had signed a death contract and were firmly held by Yang.

Yun Xi was unwilling to change the status quo, so she hugged Mrs. Yun and acted coquettishly: "And I changed the place and I was not familiar with the place and I was not safe with the lady, so I was afraid."

It's strange that something big happened today, and after the incident, she had already recovered completely.

Maybe her lady was too reliable and was not surprised when she encountered any problems, so she gave her an illusion. She felt very at ease when she stayed by Qi Huan.

Qi Huan pampered her and never beat her up. Xingluo was one year older than her, but she gave in to her everything. Xingluo was almost always doing the troublesome work around Qi Huan. Instead, she asked her to choose delicious and good jewelry first.

Yun Xi is a little girl with no ambitions and is very satisfied with her life.

Mrs. Yun looked at her look of ignorant face and couldn't get angry. She only regretted that she couldn't stand it, saying, "Can you still follow Sister Huan for the rest of your life? If you don't get married, she will be getting married."

"I can go with you even if the lady is married." Yun Xi was stubborn and still didn't care.

Seeing her like this, Miss Yun could only sigh silently in her heart, which was very conflicted.

She has been with Yang for many years. Not to mention Yun Xi is used to it, she is also used to it.

She looked at the little girl for a long time and wanted to say something several times, but in the end she hesitated and did not speak again.

Qi Huan chatted with Yang for a while to calm her emotions.

Because he couldn't leave Dr. Hu in Chunyuzhai for a long time, Yang felt that this was a problem for Dr. Hu. He lived together very much, and the mother and daughter returned to Qi Huan's side together.

Xingluo's injuries were stable, and there was no abnormality after Dr. Hu's follow-up visit.

Yang originally wanted to keep Dr. Hu for dinner, but because their family was preparing for the outfit to go to the palace to attend the banquet the next day, Yang also wanted to teach Qi Huan some etiquette at the banquet, so Dr. Hu took the initiative to refuse and insisted on staying.

Yang then arranged a car and took them back.

At that time, the sun had just seen the setting.

Qi Huan had just sent Doctor Hu and his daughter away at the gate, but saw that her cheap father Qi Wenjing's car driver had returned at this time.

Although they are father and daughter, Qi Huan usually doesn't meet him much in the deep courtyard. Since she ran into him now, she had to wait at the door.

"Aren't my father busy in the yamen recently? Why did he come back so early?" Qi Huan waited for him to get off the carriage and took the lead in saying hello and greetings.

Qi Wenjing was in a hurry, and walked up the steps in three or two steps, walked to her and looked at her nervously, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Qi Huan was stunned.

Qi Wenjing probably found her complexion and condition and decided that she should be fine. Then she relaxed her expression and took her in and said, "I heard that you were shocked on the way back to the city from Xiangguo Temple today. She was lifted off the carriage and was not injured?"

Qi Huan was stunned again.

It was faintly true that she had a bad premonition.

But he still insisted on calmness and asked with a hint of luck: "Where did my father hear the news? Did you meet Wu Chenghou today?"

Except for Qin Song and the prince brother and sister, the others would not know so much about what happened in the morning, even she was overturned from the carriage.

Qi Wenjing said: "No. I just listened to people in the yamen talking by chance. I was worried that you had something to do. I will come back early for the palace banquet tomorrow for the yamen. Do you want to tell your mother? It's time to scare her."

It wasn't Qin Song telling him, was it because the people around the prince couldn't control their mouths and spread the news so quickly?

Qi Huanyuan did not put aside his guard against today's affairs and heard it—

She probably had already guessed the subsequent development trend of this matter.

"I have comforted my mother's place." Qi Huan was absent-minded and perfunctorily said Qi Wenjing, followed him back to the study room of the Second Courtyard, closed the door, and greeted him, reminding him: "Father, there is something... you may need to know it."

Qi Wenjing took the wet veil that the servant denied, wiped his hands and face. Seeing that she looked solemn and wanted to speak, she couldn't help but become cautious.

"Hmm?" He looked at his daughter seriously.

"It's just an accident, and the news shouldn't have spread so quickly." Qi Huan looked at his face calmly. "The situation was urgent at that time. I met Mr. Qin on the road. At the critical moment, he picked me up from the carriage. In a hurry, we couldn't help but have some physical contact."

Qi Wenjing was not a completely brainless person. Qi Huan deliberately guided him. He thought for a moment, and then grabbed the point: "Are you saying that someone deliberately grasped this matter and made a big fuss?"

Qi Huan nodded: "My daughter looks like that."

In desperation, Qin Song had no choice but to save her.

But at this time, people were very strict with women's reputation. Some people insisted on making a big deal and slandered the matter...

Qi Huan was open-minded and was not afraid of being gossiped about, but Qi Wenjing and Yang might not be.

Qi Wenjing frowned: "Is this going to destroy your marriage with the Gu family? Who is so vicious?"

"The rumors may be unstoppable, but my daughter acts openly and doesn't care about their gossip." Qi Huan said, "Just just reminds you that when you look back, a colleague who is not in harmony with our family ridiculed this matter in person. Hello, you know it in your heart. You must believe that the innocence between my daughter and Mr. Qin is the only one who is honest."

"I will understand the importance of this, my father will naturally understand it." Qi Wenjing's face was still at a loss.

After a moment of silence, he pondered: "But this gossip spreads, it's always a disadvantage for you, the Gu family..."

Gu Zhan is not in the capital now. He looks back and waits for him to come back, but finds that there is a rumor between his fiancée and another man...

In Qi Wenjing's view, Qi Huan's marriage-

It's always a big fortune and a high score.

A famous family member is particularly handsome, and he even worried that Qi Huan's marriage would change as a result.

Qi Huan smiled without any burden, "Gu Zhan will not just listen to him, because others will not believe me."

Seeing that Qi Wenjing was skeptical, she could only say again: "If he cares about my reputation among others, he would not have been engaged to me at the beginning."

Qi Wenjing thought about it, so he felt a little relieved.

But he was still worried about Qi Huan, so he tried to discuss with her again: "Even if you haven't suffered too much injury, you must have been very scared today. Otherwise, don't go to the palace banquet tomorrow, and relax your energy at home."

"The more I do this, the more I have to go," Qi Huan replied with a meaningful smile. "If I don't go, the people who arranged me behind me should take advantage of the problem. Besides, I am guilty of being a thief."

Qi Wenjing felt that it would be very embarrassing to face similar rumors, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that what Qi Huan said made sense.

Seeing his daughter looking confident, she didn't persuade her later.

Qi Huan returned to the backyard. Yang had already prepared the clothes she would wear tomorrow. When she saw her coming, she thought about it over and over again, but she coincided with Qi Wenjing and wanted her to stay at home to recuperate tomorrow.

Qi Huan refused to—

I'm not really afraid that others would say she was guilty of being a thief, but when she entered the palace tomorrow, half of it would be Wen Fei's home court. The Right Censor's Mansion was silent for more than a month. In the calmness, she could always hear the storm coming.

In such an occasion tomorrow, she will get the scene no matter what.

But she persuaded Yang to be easier. If she acted like a spoiled person and played tricks, Yang had no choice but to compromise.

At the same time, at dusk.

Qi Wenyan got out of the yamen and went home. It was rare to meet Yun Cheng, who had not shown up for several days.

Yun Cheng still doesn't live in this house often, most of the time he is in the military camp and comes back occasionally—

She seemed to be too lazy to deal with trivial matters. She had never hired a chef at home, so she would go to Qi Wenyan to have a free meal.

Qi Wenyan went out early and came back late, which was very different from her work and rest. Even if she came here for free, she had encountered this frequency once in three times.

Both sides seem to get along with each other indifferently, and they have some contact and care for each other, but they are not enthusiastic.

It is precisely because of this—

Yun Cheng didn't notice that this person had the intention of deliberately indulging or even approaching her.

Qi Wenyan got off the horse and saw her coming from the opposite side, so he asked someone to lead the mount through the side door first. He stopped at the gate and waited.

Yun Cheng took two quick steps to beat the horse, then he turned over and dismounted the horse, threw the whip and reins to the accompanying guards, and his movements were like flowing water.

When Qi Wenyan saw her, he asked directly: "In that direction... you shouldn't have come back from outside the city."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince returns to Beijing today. My supporter will escort him into the palace and just came out of the palace." Yun Cheng replied to him casually.

The two naturally walked up the steps side by side.

Qi Wenyan asked again: "Have you eaten supper yet?"
