In the corner cell, a woman's cry was heard.
The private prison of the Guhou Mansion is not big, it is rarely used to detain people, and it is very empty.
It was when the moon black and the wind were high, the woman's cry was drifting away in the prison, looking ghostly.
"Ting'er, don't cry."
Qi Zhou put the food basket on the simple table, the food inside was full of fragrance, which Qi Ting liked most on weekdays.
He took out the chopsticks and was about to put them on the table. After thinking about it, he couldn't rest assured, and simply put them on the rice bowl.
"Eat, Dad sneaked in to see you. If someone finds out after a while, you won't be able to eat."
"father!"
The cry stopped abruptly, Qi Ting screamed, and Qi Zhou hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Speak down! It's rare for Dad to come in and see you. If you recruit people, wouldn't it be a bad thing!"
Qi Ting murmured for a while, and finally accepted, "Father, do we have such a misfortune? Grandpa is an old man in the house who has served all his life, and even Master Hou has to give him a three-point face! Even though I was instructed to come back, in the end? How could you keep me here for a month before you have time to betray Lord Hou!"
Qi Zhou also felt sorry for her daughter, and passed the chopsticks to her, "Eat first, eat first."
Qi Ting was in the prison with a clear soup and little water, and saw these fish gobbling.
"Don't blame Master Hou, Master Hou will naturally give your grandfather three points of thin noodles, but there is a difference between master and servant, the more you use this face, the more you use it. This time your grandfather... never interceded for you at all."
"what?!"
Qi Ting cried and said, "Is he still my grandfather? Does he want me to die here? What a ruthless old man..."
Qi Zhou glared at her bitterly, "If you do something shameless, why don't you want me and your grandfather to be involved? You girl is cruel!"
"Father, I don't have any. How could I bother you and grandpa? Prime Minister Yin said, as long as I help him, he will surely protect our family's prosperity and wealth!"
The small dark window cast into the moonlight outside, and the iron fence shadow on the window cast on her face, her expression distorted.
Qi Zhou looked at her face in a daze, a trace of sorrow and sorrow welled up on his brow.
"Father, what's the matter with you?"
"No, nothing. Dad just thought, no matter what you do, Master Hou will not implicate me and your grandfather. After all, we have been loyal to the mansion for decades, but you are different..."
Qi Ting had a bad premonition. She looked at the delicious food on the table and thought that Qi Zhou would come to see her for the first time after she was locked in, and brought such a good meal...
She shivered all over.
"Father, isn't this a decapitation meal?"
Qi Zhou was silent and did not look up at her.
"Father! Save me! You save me, I don't want to die!"
After a while, Qi Zhou gathered up the leftovers of the food on the table and packed them into the food basket as neatly as when they came.
Qi Ting hugged his arm firmly, "Father!"
"No need to say, something happened recently in the Fuzhong. Prime Minister Yin has too much eyeliner. Master Hou is the most taboo now. The third son is going to the border soon. This is a big deal, otherwise he won't kill you... blame only blame , You chose the wrong way."
"Father, I don't want to die! I beg you, then go and plead with Lord Hou! Persuade Grandpa!"
She was hysterical and could not cry, so why not Qi Zhou
He struggled away from Qi Ting's hand, "In order to be able to come and see you off, I removed all the guards in the prison, and I have done my father’s affection. Your mother and I have decided to have another child. Bring up, never let her be like you!"
After speaking, he strode out, and the food basket screamed loudly, betraying his mood.
"Father, daddy!"
Qi Ting couldn't keep him, the whole cell echoed her voice, like singing in a lonely grave in the wilderness.
She suddenly thought of something.
Qi Zhou just said that in order to come in and send himself off, he distracted all the guards in the cell...
Qi Zhou, who walked out of the cell with the food basket, wiped the tears from his face, and saw Gu Shubai and Yu holding on to the flowers under the peach tree.
He stepped forward and bowed, and the two of them noticed the tears on his face, and they felt very sad.
"Everything is done, please don't worry, Grandpa."
Gu Shubai groaned: "Let’s take care of everything, this time it’s up to her choice. If she has regrets, for the sake of the old housekeeper and you, we will not blame her for the past. If she wants to betray her third brother, then —"
Say it all at this point, and it hurts feelings no matter how much.
How did Qi Zhou know
He bowed and bowed a big gift, "No matter how she chooses, the servant thanked the eldest son first and was willing to give her this opportunity."
Gu Shubai nodded, and the person carrying the food basket left in the direction where he had come.
He is both a loyal servant and a loving father. The two are intertwined. In the end, loyalty prevails.
Yufu couldn't help sighing, "Guhou's servants are really loyal, and only a highly respected and loyal minister like the general can cultivate such a loyal servant."
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "Loyalty is the most inherited character. Gu Jiajun admires his father's character, up and down. The same is true for the old butler and Qiguan. It is a pity that they did not teach their daughter well."
Yufu looked at him in surprise, "Big Brother's meaning is to conclude that Qi Ting will not regret it?"
