After seeing Min Ying off, Cheng Xi took Jin Xin back, thinking about what happened a few days ago along the way.

Because of Chen Qing's trouble, Cheng Xi has become a topic of talk that his family members must mention during chatting in the past few days. Although Cheng Xi's reputation was not serious, the situation eventually developed to Chen Qing's deprivation of his title, which was really unexpected.

When women asked about "rituals" for "conscience", they didn't care how Chen Qing was arbitrary and domineering. What they talked about was Cheng Xi, the pearl in the palm of the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion who was favored by three thousand.

Cheng Xi's low-key silence in recent years has been completely put into turmoil, and was suddenly pushed to the forefront. After Chen Qing was taken away from his title, the female family members in Beijing all knew Cheng Xi's name overnight.

In the past few days, familiar or unfamiliar sisters from various houses have posted posts to her, inviting her to attend flower parties, poetry parties, and tea parties... This is really not a good thing.

In addition to Zhang Ze who appeared in advance... Cheng Xi felt that continuing to stay in Beijing was more harmful than beneficial.

She ran to find Cheng Qin, and without any hesitation she was worried about her second uncle Cheng Yuanpei, and mentioned Cheng Zhao who was working in the Inspectorate.

The old man asked her to see the story of "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance". Cheng Xi held the book and thought for a long time before suddenly enlightenment.

Now that Emperor Showa wants to use the Cheng family, those who have their minds will never use the tricks of frame-up at this time - this is not only helpless for them, but also gives great opportunities to make friends to their opponents.

The old man fled away from Beijing and left "Pei Gong", it would be useless if anyone danced so hard that he could be in a mess.

And she herself is also a Pei Gong?

When Zhang Ze started with Qi's son, he worked hard on Qi's place step by step, but in the end he came for her. If he didn't leave, who would know who Zhang Ze would attack this time?

Cheng Xi paused slightly at his feet, stood on the pebbled road in the garden, and watched the lotus lanterns rising and falling on the pond surface of the Zhiruo Water Pavilion in the distance.

"How is Mama Qi?" She suddenly spoke.

Jin Xin was stunned and then reacted.

"I heard that I was still lying down and couldn't get up. Sister Qingxiu just invited the doctor to the mansion yesterday. The same medicine posts came and went, just to replenish some qi and blood, and not make any mistakes."

Cheng Xi was silent.

She turned around and went to the yard of Tongpu where the servant lived in the inner courtyard. Qi's illness had not improved. According to the rules, even if she was not sent out of the house, she could no longer live in the downward yard of Pinglanju. This was to bring bad luck to the master's family.

At this time, everyone was busy in the inner yard, and the yard was quiet.

When Cheng Xi arrived, he saw a thick woman sitting next to the well in the courtyard, spreading her legs and knocking on a stack of wet clothes.

The woman raised her head when she heard the movement, and was stunned by the two girls who were walking in front of her, and stood there in a daze.

Jin Xin walked up and asked:

"Which room is Mama Qi?"

The woman looked at Cheng Xi, then at Jin Xin, her lips twitched but she didn't dare to talk. She pointed to the innermost room in the east row.

Cheng Xi turned around and walked towards the room.

Brocade clenched the blue floral curtain on the door, and a smell of medicine came to my face.

Cheng Xi frowned slightly and walked in.

The room, ten feet square, was wet and dark, with only one window open and a crack, and the mottled and fallen mud walls and a cluster of green weeds in the cracks of the wall were exposed outside the window.

Cheng Xi saw Qi lying on the bed at a glance.

His face was sallow, his eyebrows were sparse, and his dull and dry lips had many white dead skin. It was already May, but he was still covered with a winter quilt.

When Qi heard the sound, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the light outside the door for a long time before he realized it was Cheng Xi.

"...Sister!" She stood up with her body trembling, her voice trembling with hoarseness.

Is this... Qi's?

Cheng Xi was a little dazed.

The fair, plump and majestic Qi in my memory suddenly became a vague shadow and could not coincide with the person in front of me.

There is only one bed and a wooden box in the room, and there are kettles, bowls and chopsticks on it.

Cheng Xi walked slowly to the edge of the bed, and the smell of medicine became stronger, mixed with a musty smell.

She sat down beside the bed, and was so shocked that Qi was so anxious that she bent up, and her hands were fumbled around to find a piece of clean fabric:

"Sister, don't dirty your clothes..." His face turned a little red due to the difficulty.

Jin Xin hurriedly stepped forward and gently supported Qi, smiled and comforted her:

"Mom Qi, please stop being sensible. Sister can't stand and talk to you?"

Qi was next to Jinxin, full of panic, and said, "Jin, Jinxin girl..."

There were thousands of flavors in Cheng Xi's heart.

"What about your illness, doctor?" she asked lightly.

When Qi heard this, his expression changed drastically and said in a trembling voice:

"The doctor is about to get well, yes, it's not contagious... I feel that tomorrow will be able to..."

Cheng Xi was silent.

She looked at Qi, who was like a frightened bird in front of her, and remembered what Qingxiu had expressed openly and secretly - Qi had never done anything wrong, she just couldn't like Cheng Xi.

Qi, she has never been sorry for herself in her life.

"Mama Qi," Cheng Xi interrupted Qi, who was still explaining, and said slowly, "I have been bad for you in the past few years, and you have been wronged."

Qi was stunned and immediately shook his head in panic.

"What do you have to say to me? You are very good to me, Miss Qingxiu. The medicinal meal delivered to the big kitchen, the doctor in the doorman, and the clothes of my servant... are all my grace. I keep it in mind and never dare to have disrespectful thoughts..."

Cheng Xi raised his hand to interrupt her, and for the first time in his life, he calmed down his tone for Qi:

"The Chongming Zhuangzi has been empty and no one will take care of me. I will go to Chongming Zhuangzi and watch for me." She paused, "Tomorrow I will ask you to Baotong Zhuangzi, and I will hire a doctor to treat this disease."

The Zhuangzi of Chongming was appointed by Cheng Yuanen in his early years and recorded it as a dowry to Cheng Xi in the future - Cheng Xi was thanked for the Qi family's honor.

Qi looked at Cheng Xi for a moment, and suddenly shed tears like rain.

Jin Xin gently supported Qi and lay down. Cheng Xi was no longer there and stood up and planned to leave.

Qi suddenly called Cheng Xi who was walking to the door softly:

"Sister," she trembled her lips slightly, with tears on her face, "If I get better, can I... be able to serve you..."

Cheng Xi looked at her from a high point, and a feeling of sorrow suddenly surged in his heart.

She once trusted Qi so much that she treated this person as half an elder... But Qi betrayed her.

Now she has been cold for the rest of her life, but she can only give her eyes a warm feeling and be so grateful to Qi.

Cheng Xi lowered his eyes and said softly:

"Mom Qi, just think you and I have no chance."

Cheng Xi took Jin Xin away from the depressing yard and walked to the east fence pavilion on the top of Lingbishan Garden in one breath, overlooking the entire Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

She narrowed her eyes in the sunlight and vomited a long-depressed turbid air.

"Singer of the Brocade."

Cheng Xi turned around and showed a relieved smile on his face:

"We are leaving the capital."
