Gu Qinghan bit her lip before asking in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, Madam... What happened to Madam?"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Sanniang, wouldn't you know it just by looking at it?" Without saying much, he walked towards the Buddhist hall with his hands behind his back. Gu Qinghan hesitated and finally followed.
Turning to the corridor and then turning into a small path, Qi Ning stopped and Gu Qinghan followed, wondering: "Why don't you leave?"
"Sanniang walks in front and I follow behind, otherwise you will say that I am unruly." Qining said with a smile.
Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at him and spat: "When have you ever obeyed the rules?" Without saying much, he walked in front, and Qi Ning followed three steps behind, with a smile on his lips, admiring Gu Qinghan's graceful appearance from behind. posture.
The two of them arrived at the Buddhist hall one after another, pushed open the door, and walked in front of the door. Gu Qinghan hesitated a little, obviously very afraid of this place, and did not dare to open the door and go in.
Qi Ning walked forward, opened the door gently, and went in first. Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, and finally followed into the house. Every time she came, Mrs. Tai would sit cross-legged in front of the Buddhist niche. She had never done anything for many years. It has changed, but today is the first time I see the figure of the wife in that position without it.
Qining turned to the side room, and Gu Qinghan entered the room with anxiety. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the lady lying on the wooden couch in the corner, motionless.
As soon as Gu Qinghan saw the madam, his heart felt a little sudden, but Qining had already walked over with his hands behind his back and stood beside the bed. Gu Qinghan walked over lightly and found that the madam had her eyes closed and she was lying flat like a corpse. If she hadn't been able to survive, Hearing her slight breathing, one almost thought she was dead.
"Too...Mrs.!" Gu Qinghan called out timidly, but Mrs. Tai showed no response. Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown and asked in a low voice: "Ning'er, she...what happened to her?"
"She couldn't hear anyone speak, and she couldn't say anything until the day she stopped breathing." Qining said calmly: "I wanted to ask some secrets from her mouth, but unfortunately the old woman was very stubborn and didn't ask Nothing comes out.”
After all, Gu Qinghan was a shrewd young woman. She understood and frowned: "You...did you poison her?"
Qi Ning knew that there were some things that Gu Qinghan could know, and that it was better to hide some things. He shook his head and explained: "Last night, Swing Yi and I made a plan to attract the bull-headed horse face and get rid of those two people, but those two people were dying. Before, poison was released. Swing Yi was the poison king and saved me, but the old lady was not so lucky. After being poisoned, she became like this. Swing Yi said there was no cure, and she would not be able to cure it until she died. It can only be like this.”
Gu Qinghan asked suspiciously: "You didn't lie?" A pair of wonderful eyes stared at Qining's eyes.
Qi Ning said with an innocent look: "Sanniang, can I still lie to you? But even if the old woman is not poisoned, I will not let her go." He raised his hand and gently put it on Gu Qinghan's shoulder. She said in a voice: "Sanniang, the old lady has been kept secret from now on, and I have got rid of the bull-headed and horse-faced people. From now on, you don't have to worry about them getting into trouble with you anymore. You and I are no longer a threat in Jinyihou Mansion."
Gu Qinghan took two steps back, shook off Qi Ning's hand, looked at the motionless Madam on the couch, frowned slightly, with a hint of unbearability in her eyes, and sighed quietly: "She has become like this. I...I feel a little uncomfortable...!"
"I know how Sanniang feels." Qining sighed softly: "But this is the kindness of a woman, Sanniang, have you ever thought about it, if she doesn't become like this, maybe one day she will become like this. It's me. Over the years, she has controlled you and manipulated you like a tool. She has never regarded you as a member of the family. "
Gu Qinghan looked sad and said nothing.
"You know very well that I have been stupid for so many years because she ordered Aunt Qiong to poison me." Qi Ning sneered: "As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. I am the eldest grandson of the Jinyi Qi family. , but because of her resentment towards...my mother, she actually extended her poisonous hand to me, Sanniang, I can’t remember what I went through in those years, but we can all imagine it."
Gu Qinghan sighed softly: "She...she really shouldn't have treated you like that."
"People are doing it, and God is watching. A person who does many evil things will suffer retribution sooner or later." Qi Ning took two steps closer to Gu Qinghan and said softly: "She is a living dead now. She can no longer harm anyone, let alone You, as long as you are safe, everything I do is worth it.”
Gu Qinghan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Qining's ambiguous words. He bit his lip and glanced at Qining. He saw his eyes looking straight at her, his cheeks were slightly hot, he lowered his head and whispered: "Ning'er, Sanniang... Sanniang, I want to ask you something, and you must promise me, can you do it?"
"Don't mention one thing, even if it is ten things, as long as I can do it, I will naturally agree." Qi Ning restrained the madam. His mood was very different from before. He only felt relaxed for a while. At this time, he saw the beautiful and lovely lady. Gu Qinghan felt more and more that this young woman was extremely beautiful and charming.
She is dressed in a smoky dress, beautiful but not vulgar, with a goose face and willow eyebrows, twinkling eyes, pink face and peach cheeks, a slim and convex figure, plump breasts, and a tall and straight silk tube top. She is extremely beautiful and revealing. The unique charm of a young woman is that of a ripe peach, and the orchid-musk-like young woman's body fragrance exudes from her body, which is even more alluring.
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his head, looked directly into Qining's eyes, and said in a pleading tone: "Ning'er, Sanniang has worked hard in the Jinyi Qi family for so many years. Even if she has no merit, she still has hard work. Now I only want this from you. As long as you agree to the matter, Sanniang’s years of hard work will not be in vain.”
"Sanniang, what do you want to say?"
"I beg you to let me go." Gu Qinghan looked determined: "Your third uncle has been gone all these years, and now that I am leaving the Jinyi Qi family, it doesn't mean I am sorry to him."
Qi Ning's face darkened. Seeing Qi Ning's bad expression, Gu Qinghan said hurriedly: "Don't misunderstand me, I... I have no other intentions, I... I can swear to you, even if I leave the Jinyi Qi family, I will not... I won’t marry again, I won’t lie to you.”
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Has Sanniang had this idea for a long time?"
Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly and said: "I have been afraid to leave all these years because...!" He glanced at the Madam and said softly: "You know the reason. Now that the Madam is like this, you... you are in charge of Hou again. The government has no need for me anymore. Ning'er Sanniang has only this request, and you must agree to it."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then tell me, what position should I have if I stay in the Marquis' Mansion?" Gu Qinghan said with a bitter smile: "The Jinyi Marquis' Mansion is the residence of the Jinyi Marquis. If your third uncle had not died in the battle and had made military exploits, he would have been awarded an official title. Jue, of course, has his own mansion a long time ago, and I have moved out of the Marquis Mansion long ago. If that were the case, I could still stay in the Qi family. Now that you are in charge of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, you are about to get married, and everything is in doubt. If I want to change, I... I can only live in the Hou Mansion, but I can't last long...!"
Qi Ning took a step forward, and Gu Qinghan immediately stepped back, raised his hand and said, "Don't come over!"
Qi Ning frowned, and Gu Qinghan continued: "Actually, it will be good for you and me if I leave the Qi family now. Ning'er, Sanniang is telling the truth. You must be obedient, okay?"
"Does Sanniang think that if you stay in the Hou Mansion, I will have bad intentions for you?" Qining finally asked straight to the point.
Gu Qinghan said: "Since I'm talking about this, I won't hide it from you. This is one of the reasons. I know what you think about me, but I have told you countless times that it is absolutely impossible. If it is true, Doing that will not only harm myself, but also you. But this is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is...!" He hesitated, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "I can't be sorry to Miss Ximen!"
"Zhan Ying?"
"Ning'er, you know in your heart that we are playing with fire." Gu Qinghan said in a serious voice: "Once there is a slight mistake, and you really... really do something that you shouldn't do, then everything will be irreversible. Tell Sanniang , what kind of woman is Sanniang in your heart?"
"Of course she is a good woman." Qining said, "She is generous, virtuous and smart, so I... I have always liked you."
"I understand that you have always thought that Sanniang is very good. In fact, Sanniang is not as good as you think." Gu Qinghan sighed: "I used to treat you well. Of course, it was because your mother passed away and you were bullied in the house. I think But it's not just that. Less than half a year after I married into the Hou Mansion, your third uncle died in the battle. I was helpless in the Hou Mansion, and you were also helpless, so... We are in the same boat, and I naturally I have to take good care of you. At that time, I was still thinking that sooner or later you would inherit the title of Marquis of Jinyi. When you inherit the title one day, I will treat you well and treat me well. I... I don't have good intentions either. .”
Qining shook his head and said: "Sanniang, you are wrong. You are not wrong for thinking this way. And no matter what your reasons are, you are the only one who has been truly caring and considerate to me these years."
"But... I didn't expect that things would come to this point." Gu Qinghan sighed quietly: "I never thought that one day, you... you would fall in love with me. I really... really never thought about it. In fact, I have always I don’t even know what to do, but I know that no matter what you think, and no matter what I think, things that shouldn’t happen will never happen.” His expression turned cold, and he stared into Qining’s eyes: “And Sanniang will never do it. I'm not that kind of shameless woman. I won't do anything against human ethics even if I die. Ning'er, do you understand what I say?"
Qi Ning's heart suddenly became heavy, but Gu Qinghan's words were so powerful that they made Qi Ning stand in awe of her. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand what Sanniang means."
Gu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "It's good that you understand. Don't worry, I won't leave immediately. After your wedding, everything in the house is settled and in order. Then you let me leave. Let's do this It’s settled, okay, Ning’er?”
Qi Ning stared into Gu Qinghan's eyes and asked solemnly: "Sanniang, I only want to ask you one thing. You know what I think about you. Have you ever had a hint of love between a man and a woman for me? Don't do it." Lie to me!"
