"Let's talk here if you have anything to say, it's not suitable for the two of us to meet now."
Qi Nuo said so.
In front of him was his brother whom he had been with for twenty years, and Qi Nuo gave him all his feelings. Although he later found out that he was not his own brother, the feelings he gave could not be taken back easily.
Compared with the younger brother in the mansion, Qi Nuo's affection for Qi Erzhu is deeper.
It was just because of his father's confession that it was not good for Qi Nuo to get too close to him, so even though there was a slight pleading look in the other party's eyes, Qi Nuo reluctantly refused him.
Qi Erzhu's expression dimmed, he wiped his face, and the decadence around him became stronger.
"Brother, Qin Shangshu wanted Yanran to reconcile with me. He used the position of governor of Jingzhou in exchange for my marriage. Yanran has been taken to the Shangshu Mansion. I have been trying my best to see him these days, but the Shangshu Mansion People can always find a reason to put me off."
Speaking of this, a faint look of despair appeared on his face, and tears seemed to glisten in his eyes: "Brother, I really can't help it..."
After all, it is my younger brother who I have loved for many years, how can I give up my feelings for him so easily? Seeing him like this, Qi Nuo couldn't bear it after all, he sighed, and agreed to go to the teahouse with him.
The two randomly found an ordinary teahouse, and they were in a closed private room, facing their elder brother who had watched them grow up. After all, Qi Erzhu couldn't control his emotions, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I really have no choice, but if there is a little possibility, I will not come to you for help..."
Qi Erzhu couldn't continue, he wiped his face fiercely, and turned his head away in embarrassment, but the crystal marks in the corners of his eyes proved what kind of pain he had endured at this time.
Seeing him like this, Qi Nuo showed a look of unbearable, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Qi Erzhu raised his hand to stop him.
"Brother, I don't really want your help when I'm looking for you. It's just that I feel really painful recently. I can't bear it any longer. I don't know who to tell these words to. I just want to talk to you. Now that I've finished speaking, I feel better all over, thank you."
Qi Erzhu sincerely apologized to Qi Nuo. The uncontrollable tears just now seemed to be the limit of what he could tolerate and indulge. In just a short while, he adjusted his emotions and recovered. A calm and self-sustaining look.
However, the more Qi Erzhu was like this, the more Qi Nuo felt distressed. Before that, he was only relying on reason to restrain himself. Reason told him not to pay too much attention to Qi Erzhu, let alone help him with all his heart. His real brother is not Qi Erzhu. It's Qi Wang. Given the relationship between the two of them, they should keep a proper distance. After all, he is no longer his big brother, and he shouldn't help him out of emotion and reason.
But if human reason can control emotions, then there will be fewer disputes in this world. Qi Erzhu didn't ask Qin Nuo for help, but it was his current attitude that made Qi Nuo even more unbearable.
"Ziyan, I will go and tell Qin Shangshu about this matter. You and your younger siblings have been married for many years, and she still has your child in her womb. No matter what, Qin Shangshu shouldn't treat you like this."
After Qi Erzhu was deprived of the name given by the prime minister's mansion, he changed his name to himself. Now he is called Qi Xun, and Ziyan is his cousin.
Hearing what Qi Nuo said, Qi Xun was very moved, but after a second thought, he is no longer a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Qi Nuo has nothing to do with him, if he helped him to get ahead, wouldn't it be a ruin for the Monk's Mansion? friendship
Thinking of this, Qi Xun stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Nuo's hand, and said eagerly: "Brother, thank you, but it's not good for you to intervene in this matter, I should go and tell Qin Shangshu myself, after all, there is still a relationship between us." Weng son-in-law's love, maybe my sincerity can impress him and make him give me Yanran again."
Qi Nuo shook his head disapprovingly: "This matter is not that simple. Qin Shangshu is now determined to make you reconcile. He clearly dislikes the poor and loves the rich. If I don't make a move, wait until he leaves." The children in the womb of younger brothers and sisters will be late."
Qi Xun's face changed suddenly: "Qin Shangshu wouldn't do this, Yan Ran's health is not good, Qin Shangshu loves her so much, how could he let her have a baby?"
Obviously, Qi Nuo's guess made Qi Xun panic, he subconsciously grabbed Qin Nuo's hand, and looked at him in panic.
"Brother, Qin Shangshu won't do this, Yanran is his daughter, he won't..."
Qi Nuo is not as simple-minded as Qi Xun.
If there is still room for Qin Shangshu's attitude to change, he should not use the position of governor of Jingzhou to buy Qi Xun. Obviously, he is determined to separate the two. Qin Yanran is still young and has an abortion. It will hurt the body, but in the long run, it is not a bad thing.
In all fairness, if such a thing happened to his daughter, Qi Nuo would make the same choice. After all, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, and her daughter's lifetime happiness is more important.
But now the person being disliked is Qi Xun who has a deep relationship with him, so Qi Nuo can't just stand by and watch.
In the final analysis, if it wasn't because they cared about Qi Wang, their parents wouldn't be so ruthless towards Qi Xun—after all, they have raised a child for twenty years, how could they have no feelings? But it was precisely because Qi Wang had been treated harshly that they broke their relationship with Qi Xun cruelly for his sake.
It was already very miserable for him to be kicked out of the prime minister's mansion, and he became so isolated and helpless. If Qin Yanran was taken away again, wouldn't he want his wife and children separated? This is so unfair to him.
It was not Qi Xun who did the wrong thing in the first place. Strictly speaking, he was also the victim of this son-changing incident. The Prime Minister's Mansion raised him for twenty years, and it was too cruel to give up as soon as he said he would.
When he didn't see Qi Xun before, Qi Nuo could still deceive himself, Qi Xun was doing well, but now that he came to his door, Qi Nuo couldn't continue to deceive himself.
Qi Xun is having a bad time. He was blamed because it was not his fault. This is totally unreasonable. People in the capital are used to stepping on the high and flattering the low. Qi Xun is just a small Hanlin now, without the prime minister With the government as the backer, it is natural that everyone can bully wantonly.
All kinds of thoughts emerged in Qi Nuo's mind. At the beginning, he chose to break up with Qi Xun because of his father's request, which left him cold for more than two months. If Qi Xun has always been fine, then that's all. But now his life is not good, Qi Nuo can't stand by and watch.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will ask Qin Shangshu to give you an accurate answer. No matter what your status is now, the friendship between our two brothers has not changed in any way. In my mind, you will always They are all my brothers."
These words are worth more than a thousand dollars to Qi Xun. In the two months since he left the prime minister's mansion, Qi Xun has seen too many people's feelings. Everyone shut him up, as if he had lost the prime minister. After taking over the identity, he suddenly changed from a person that everyone liked to an existence that thousands of people hated.
This kind of gap is not something that ordinary people can bear. Fortunately, his brother still treats him as before, fortunately, he has not changed in any way.
The man did not flick his tears lightly, but before he reached the point where he was sad, Qi Xun didn't care about anything at this time, hugged Qi Nuo and began to cry loudly.
Qi Nuo patted Qi Xun's back lightly, allowing him to vent his emotions. Hearing his painful cry, Qi Nuo's eyes were a little moist, and at the same time, his cruelty towards his parents became more profound. He even had complaints about his younger brother who had just returned to the mansion.
All of this is because of him, if he hadn't told his mother what was there and what was not, and because of her love for Qi Xun in the past, she would not be so indifferent to him now.
The two brothers hugged each other and wept, it was a scene of deep brotherly love, but the two sitting in the next room fell into an awkward atmosphere.
The sound insulation effect of this tea house is not good, all the conversations in the next room fall into the private room separated by a wall, but the two people sitting here are Qi Nuo's teacher, and the other is Qi Nuo's genuine younger brother.
Originally, the two just went to two teahouses to drink tea at random, but they didn't expect to hear such a conversation.
Qi Nuo said that in his mind, Qi Xun will always be his younger brother, so where does he put Qi in vain? He obviously didn't treat Qi Huang as his own younger brother.
So far, it has been more than two months and nearly three months since Qi Wang returned to the mansion. Qi Nuo has always been indifferent to Qi Wang, more than polite, not close enough. Originally, Mr. Lao thought that Qi Nuo had such a cold temper. As a result, when he faced Qi Xun's fake younger brother, he was enthusiastic and acted like a peerless brother.
People are afraid of comparison, his attitude towards the two younger brothers is enough to explain everything, what's more, Qi Nuo may feel that it is because of Qi Wang's return that Qi Xun has fallen to this point.
Qi Nuo is afraid that he has resentment towards Qi Wang.
The expression on Mr. Lao's face changed. When he thought that those two people were students taught by himself, he somehow felt guilty. After taking a sip of the tea with strong bitterness, Mr. Lao said hesitantly "Well, Zidan, your elder brother is confused. Don't take it to heart. He didn't mean it. You are his biological brother. The two of you are connected by blood. No one can replace this relationship."
Qi Huang smiled and said nonchalantly: "Thank you Master, but if you don't look forward to it, you won't be disappointed. I don't have any brotherly feelings for him. Master don't need to comfort me. He never regarded me as a brother, and I don't need to treat him as a big brother." , Now that I have reached the age of the weak crown, I am no longer a child who needs my brother's protection, so what does he have to do with me?"
To be honest, Qi Wang didn't come here with Qi Nuo intentionally, he finished his homework well today, so he went out with Mr. Lao to relax, this teahouse just came here to rest on a whim, but he didn't expect to hear such a big drama.
In fact, it's not that Qi Wang has no feelings for how Qi Nuo treats him, but the fate between people is very wonderful. Although the two are blood brothers, Qi Wang knows that in Qin Nuo's heart, he will never be as good as that one. Qi Xun, who has been with him for twenty years.
People's hearts are biased, and Qi Wang can't force others' hearts to be biased towards him. After all, he has never treated Qi Nuo like Qi Xun, treating him as a big brother who can be relied on. It's normal to be biased.
But because of this matter, the interest of Qi Wang and Master Lao was affected after all, they drank all the tea they ordered, got up and left the private room.
However, things in the world are just such a coincidence. When the two walked out of the private room, the two people in the next private room also came out of the private room.
The four eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Qi Nuo and Qi Xun stood side by side, no matter how close they were, anyone could see that they were not brothers, but they were better than real brothers.
Qi Huang hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled at Qi Nuo: "Brother, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to drink tea here."
Qi Huan's eyes only fell on Qi Nuo, completely as if Qi Xun next to him didn't exist, as if it was just an insignificant thing.
The same is true for Master Lao, but he is the teacher of the three of them, so naturally he doesn't need him to greet them. On the contrary, the two brothers have to greet Master Lao respectfully.
"Hello, master."
Mr. Lao just nodded casually, but he didn't say anything. His expression was indifferent, and his eyes swept over the two of them, before quickly turning to other places.
The attitude of these two people made Qi Nuo feel uneasy. He didn't know how much his conversation in the next room was overheard by these two people. Although he never said anything outrageous, at this moment he felt an inexplicable guilty conscience. feel.
And Qi Xun is as quiet as a chicken, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
Qi Huang smiled and said: "I'll accompany my master to drink tea, elder brother should be busy, so my master and I won't bother you, let's go first."
After saying these words, Qi Wang led Mr. Lao to go downstairs, Qi Nuo subconsciously tried to stop the two of them, Qi Wang turned to look at him, with a half-smile on his face.
"Brother, are you really sure you want me to stay? Isn't my identity embarrassing to you? I don't think I should be suitable to stay here. After all, you two are brothers, and I just can't get in." It's just outsiders who go in."
After saying the words "deep brotherhood", Qi Nuo was in a bad mood. Thinking about it, Qi Wang had listened to all the words that should be heard and should not be heard. When he said those words, he didn't feel that there was anything important, but now Qi Wang When it was mentioned, Qi Nuo felt a little guilty for no reason.
"Second brother, I..."
Qi Huang waved his hand and said considerately: "Brother, you don't need to explain to me, I can understand."
He could understand Qi Nuo's feelings towards Qi Xun, but he didn't agree with his actions.
The person who uses this body now is Qi Wang, he doesn't have any expectations for Qi Nuo, he won't feel anything when he sees the man who took everything away from him, but the original owner is different.
Presumably, the original owner didn't want to see any scene of brotherly love between his own brother and someone who could be regarded as his enemy.
Qi Wang left with Mr. Lao just like that, Qi Nuo failed to stop the two of them, Qi Xun felt that something was wrong, he always felt that the person who came back and took everything from him would do something.
"Brother..."
Qi Xun called out uneasily, and Qi Nuo came back to his senses, patted Qi Xun's back lightly, softly soothing his emotions: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Qi Xun felt relieved a little.
However, it was too early for him to feel relieved. After Qi Wang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went to Qingjiang Garden, and then told Lin Qinshuang everything he had just heard.
"Mother, I can understand that elder brother treats me not kindly. After all, we have never been together before. Natural blood ties cannot compare to the brotherhood of twenty years. However, I think it is inappropriate for elder brother to go to Qin Shangshu."
Qi Yuanhang may not have deep feelings for Qi Wang, but after he explained everything in the booklet, he has already made a choice between the two, and he will not help Qi Xun.
And if Qi Nuo wants to help Qi Xun, he must rely on the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is the eldest son and grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Sometimes, he can also represent the attitude of the Prime Minister's Mansion. willing.
