Gu Qinghan's expression became serious and he said: "Your mother is missing and Aunt Qiong takes care of you for her. This is a reasonable thing and there is nothing wrong with it." After a pause, he said softly: "At the beginning, I I never thought about taking care of you personally, but...just one night when I was checking the accounts with the accountant, something was wrong. Aunt Qiong also took care of the accounts before, so I went over to ask her what was going on. "
Qin Ning thought that if there was no problem with Aunt Qiong's management of the accounts, she would be in trouble.
"As soon as I entered her yard, I heard crying." Gu Qinghan said bitterly: "I felt strange, and the sound seemed... It seemed to be you. I thought you had been wronged in some way, so... I pushed the door open and went in. I saw Aunt Qiong sitting on a chair, looking at you with a smile, and... you were lying on the ground holding your stomach and rolling over, looking miserable...!"
Qi Ning took a deep breath and understood. Although he had not experienced it personally, when he thought of that scene, he felt extremely angry in his heart.
"Aunt Qiong was shocked when she saw me entering the room. Then she ignored me and immediately got up to cover a bowl on the table." Gu Qinghan sneered: "I knew there was something wrong with that bowl, so I went over and pushed her away. I took the bowl and saw that there was black soup in it. When she saw me taking the bowl, she rushed over to snatch it. I said I would tell your father about this, but she...she didn't dare to snatch it. Just say... just say...!" But he didn't continue.
"What did she say?" Qining said coldly.
Gu Qinghan said: "She said it was the medicine given to her by the Madam. She said that your brain... your brain is not clear and you need to drink medicine to treat it. I have to give you a bowl of medicine every day." After a pause, he said: "You were in pain at that time. I couldn't bear it. I didn't pay much attention to the medicine bowl. I carried you away and asked someone to call the doctor. But before the doctor came, you fell asleep and stopped shouting. When the doctor came to check your pulse, he said that your pulse was normal. , nothing wrong.”
Qi Ning said: "That bowl of medicine is definitely not a medicine for treating diseases."
"I don't know how you survived those years." Gu Qinghan's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "But now that I saw it, I naturally couldn't let you stay with Aunt Qiong, so I went to see Mrs. Tai the next day to ask for help. She left you under my care. The Madam didn’t object, so... from then on, I have been taking care of you."
"So that's it." Qi Ning was moved for a moment, thinking to himself that if it weren't for Gu Qinghan, the Jinyi Crown Prince would have been living in hell. Gu Qinghan only bumped into him once. How Aunt Qiong usually tortured the Jinyi Crown Prince? Can think of it.
Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly and said: "Later, I also saw a doctor for you and took a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better. My wife rarely asked about your condition."
"Sanniang, do you think what Aunt Qiong said is true or false?" Qining asked: "Did Madam really give her the medicine that makes people miserable?"
Gu Qinghan said: "I'm not sure, but... but it shouldn't be false. Although Aunt Qiong is bold, she is also extremely afraid of the Madam. If it weren't for the medicine that the Madam gave her, she would never dare to tell this matter." The madam pushed her."
Qi Ning sneered and said: "Sanniang, those speculations I just made are just suspicions. Listening to what you said, I am convinced. That old witch has a vicious heart and harmed me when I was a child. Do you think she is willing to kill me?" Leave the Jinyi Hou Mansion to me?" His body suddenly shook, he realized something, and his eyes were cold: "Sanniang, you said that I was very smart when I was three or four years old, but suddenly I became stupid...!"
At this time, Gu Qinghan was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and they both immediately thought of a possibility. Gu Qinghan was ice-cold from head to toe, and his eyes were even more horrified.
There was deathly silence in the boudoir.
After a moment, Gu Qinghan said in a trembling voice: "Ning'er, she... she won't do that. Even... even if she really doesn't like you because of your mother, but... she won't do that kind of thing. …!”
Qi Ning sighed and said: "I also hope that is not the case." He also felt a chill in his heart. If the old servant was killed just because he mentioned Liu Suyi, Qi Ning had already felt the cruelty of the Mrs. , then if the Jinyi Crown Prince became stupid because of the Tai Madam's actions, then the Tai Madam's cruelty regardless of any family affection made Qining feel the snake-heartedness of the old woman.
His previous inferences were only based on his own logical thinking, but when Gu Qinghan told this secret matter, Qining was sure that there was nothing wrong with his speculation. If the Tai Furen could attack the Jinyi Crown Prince back then, then one day It's really not surprising to murder oneself.
Gu Qinghan was silent for a while, and finally said: "Ning'er, you... you should be more careful in the future, and I will help you keep an eye on it. The madam doesn't know that I'm meeting you tonight, she... she won't know that I told you this, if... if She really wants to harm you, I...I can always know."
"Sanniang, if she really wants to attack me, she will definitely not tell you." Qining whispered: "Since she knows everything about the Hou Mansion, tell me... will she know...!" He stopped talking.
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but said: "What do you know?"
Qining sighed and said, "Do you think she knows that I have been pursuing you secretly?"
"Ah?" Gu Qinghan trembled, "This... how is this possible? We... we didn't do anything, and... and she never revealed any sign of knowing about this."
"Maybe she really doesn't know." Qining thought thoughtfully: "Maybe she is just pretending and is not ready to attack me yet."
Gu Qinghan bit her lip, her eyes moved, and she said softly: "Then...then you are not allowed to get too close to me in the future. This...this is also for yourself."
"Sanniang, if she is determined to let Qi Yu inherit the family business, it will only be a matter of time before she attacks me." Qi Ning sneered: "If we are not prepared, we can only sit back and wait for death."
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then what are you going to do?" Then he said: "No matter what she does to you, you can't hurt her. She... she is your grandmother after all."
Qin Ning chuckled and said: "To deal with her threat, we must at least cut off all her hands and feet. Don't be afraid, Sanniang. I don't mean to cut off her hands and feet. I mean to cut off the forces around her. First of all, It's the Bull-headed Horse Noodle next to her. She stays in the Buddhist hall all day long, and her connection with the outside world, if nothing unexpected happens, relies on the Bull-headed Horse Noodle. As long as the Bull-headed Horse Noodle is cut off and she is controlled, she won't be too much of a threat."
"But...how to find the bull-headed horse face?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said: "After that time, I never saw those two people again, but...but I always feel that they are nearby."
"Your feeling is not wrong." Qi Ning said: "The bull-headed horse-faced man must be by her side, and he is mixed in with the Marquis Mansion."
Gu Qinghan said: "There are more than two hundred people in the Hou Mansion, how do you know who they are?"
Qi Ning thought for a while and then said: "Since he is a secret person next to her, then the Bull-headed Horse Face must not be conspicuous at ordinary times. The person who often walks around in the house and attracts attention cannot be the Bull-headed Horse Face." After a moment of pondering, he then Asked: "Sanniang, do you remember the height or other characteristics of the bull-headed horse-faced man?"
Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly and said: "I was so scared that night that my mind went blank. How could I remember how tall they were...!" After a pause, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "But... But I remember... I seemed to smell a smell at that time." smell… !"
"smell?"
"Yeah." Gu Qinghan whispered: "Ma Mian stopped me in the yard, and then held me tightly in the Buddhist hall. I remember that there was a smell coming from Ma Mian, but... I was just too scared at the time, and I didn't think too much. , I can’t even remember what it tastes like.”
"Think about it carefully." Qi Ning kept holding Gu Qinghan's jade hand, his eyes bright: "Maybe this is a crucial clue."
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and said with some annoyance: "Ning'er, I really can't remember, it's just... I just remember that the smell was so bad, I almost spit it out...!" He thought again: "It seems to be a bad smell. …!”
"Is it the smell of men's sweat?"
"No, no...!" Gu Qinghan said: "It's definitely not the smell of sweat on your body." He raised his hand and pressed it on his smooth forehead, thinking hard, but finally said helplessly: "I really can't remember."
"There is a handyman who cleans the toilets in the mansion every day." Qining reminded: "Is it possible that that person is responsible for cleaning the toilets in the mansion? When such people usually walk next to others, others will cover their noses and not even look. , the least familiar and the least noticeable.”
Gu Qinghan pondered for a moment and then said: "It has been many years, and I was panicking at that time. Now I only remember that I smelled a smell, but... but I can't remember what it was."
Seeing that Gu Qinghan was slightly anxious, Qi Ning said softly: "Don't worry, Sanniang, there is still enough time. The old woman can't do anything to me yet. Let's be careful first, and then look for opportunities to find out who the Bull-headed Horse Face is. As long as we find that With the two of us, things will be easier to handle.”
Gu Qinghan said hurriedly: "Ning'er, you have to promise me that you will never act on your own initiative. No matter... no matter what you want to do, you must discuss it with me in advance. If you... you do anything behind my back, I will never pay attention to you again in this life. "
Qi Ning saw that her last tone was a bit coquettish, and her heart skipped a beat. She said softly: "Don't worry, I will never act recklessly. I said that hunters have a lot of patience. The old woman regarded herself as a hunter and me as her prey. In the end, It is not yet known who is the prey. Sanniang, if you tell me these things today, you are dependent on me for life and death. I will protect you no matter what." Feeling moved in her heart, she grabbed Gu Qinghan's jade hand and placed it on the smooth After kissing the back of her hand, Gu Qinghan's delicate body bounced, she hurriedly pulled her hand away and scolded in a low voice: "Don't... don't do this nonsense."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Sanniang's hands smell so good. If I hold Sanniang's hand and sleep next to you...!" Before she could finish speaking, Gu Qinghan stretched out her other hand and pinched his arm, angry. He said: "I just like to talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense again, I will be really angry." He pushed him again: "You have been here for a long time, it is almost dawn, you... you should go back first, be careful." "
Qi Ning knew that it would be easy to be discovered when he went out when it was brighter, but after lying next to Gu Qinghan for a long time, he felt very comfortable. He didn't want to get up for a while, so he deliberately leaned towards Gu Qinghan and asked softly: " Sanniang, when you took care of me before, did I sleep next to you? Now I just go back to my place."
Gu Qinghan was angry and funny, and said angrily: "Who asked you to sleep next to me? There is a vacant room next door, so you always sleep there."
Qining thought that although the prince in Jinyi was taken care of by Gu Qinghan, he was not lucky enough to lie next to this beautiful woman. He pretended to be depressed and said: "It turns out that I didn't sleep with you in my arms before."
Gu Qinghan was a little annoyed, raised his hand and tapped Qining's head lightly, and scolded: "You don't want to think about business. Okay, okay, go back quickly, don't be seen."
Qi Ning sighed and said: "If anyone knew that I lay beside a beautiful woman for most of the night, but I didn't even... forget it, it would be really cowardly."
How come Gu Qinghan didn't know what he wanted to say and deliberately ignored him, but it was funny in his heart.
Qi Ning was very happy to learn many unknown secrets from Gu Qinghan tonight. And by doing this, Gu Qinghan showed that he was sincerely devoted to him. This made Qining feel better and sat up suddenly. Come on, reach out your hand, and before Gu Qinghan could react, he had already touched her pretty pink face.
Gu Qinghan let out a soft "Ouch", but quickly covered her mouth, but Qining had already turned over and got out of bed. Gu Qinghan sat up, twisted his waist, his chest trembled, and looked at Qining with hatred. Seeing Qining He ran to the window like a ghost, opened the window, climbed out in a panic, and closed the window furtively. Then he moved to the bed and stood up, twisted his waist to the window, slightly opened the window to reveal a crack, but it was already gone. Qining’s traces.
"Little bastard!" Gu Qinghan bit her red lips, she was so charming and charming, then she sighed quietly, closed the window, raised her hand to touch the face that had just been touched by Qi Ning, her cheeks were slightly dizzy, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth. Said: "Always take advantage of... When you get the chance, see how I deal with you little bastard!"
