Good luck today

"Madam! I knew you must have recognized me before!"

The young man who claimed to be Ji Qingcheng's son kowtowed to Su Shixia several times when he came up.

"I know that Madam, you have a distinguished status and don't want to have anything to do with people like me. I don't dare to pester Madam anymore. I know what your concerns are, Madam. Don't worry, I can swear to God that I will never I’ve seen you tell others about you before!”

Su Shixia lowered her eyes and looked at the young man, carefully studying the expression on his face, thinking to herself that this boy was quite sensible.

She pretended not to recognize him at the door of Huixianju before. The young man probably knew from her reaction that she didn't want to expose her original identity, so when he saw her coming, he made his attitude clear as soon as possible.

She must have been afraid that she would have murderous intentions and would kill him without stopping to silence him.

A playful smile appeared on Su Shixia's lips, "Swear? Even if you break your oath, God will not really send down thunder to kill you. I won't believe such an empty promise." .”

The young man's face suddenly turned pale when he heard Su Shixia's words.

Su Shixia's body was trembling slightly when she saw him, and the smile on her lips became a little deeper.

"Compared to your sworn promises, I believe in real deals."

The young man raised his head and looked at Su Shixia blankly, obviously not understanding what she meant.

"Tell me first, why did you want to catch up with me at the door of the restaurant?"

After she said this, she walked away from the young man without waiting for his response and walked straight into the house.

When passing by the boy, she just said casually, "Get up first. My legs hurt from walking all the way. I don't want to just stand in the yard talking to you."

When the young man heard this, he stood up quickly and followed Su Shixia into the house.

The house is not big, and the furniture inside is very old, but it is still clean.

Su Shixia's eyes swept around the room, and soon fell on the old alcoholic Ji Qingcheng lying on the bed.

The young man noticed that Su Shixia was observing his room, and he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. He quickly walked to the table and moved out the latest-looking chair.

After wiping the stool with his sleeve, he placed the chair in front of Su Shixia.

Seeing that the young man still wanted to boil water and make tea for her, Su Shixia stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Don't be too busy."

She sat down on the chair, and then her eyes fell on the young man, "You can answer me now."

The young man went over Su Shixia's question in his mind. A look of hesitation flashed across his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Su Shixia again.

The corners of Su Shixia's eyes couldn't help but twitch, feeling depressed as to why people from the Xiqi Kingdom loved to kneel down so much.

Before she could ask anyone to get up, the young man had already spoken in a mute voice, pleading: "Madam! Please save my father!"

As soon as he said these words, the whole room suddenly became quiet.

Forsythia and Fuhu secretly exchanged glances, and Su Shixia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"You want me to save your father?"

Su Shixia glanced at Ji Qingcheng's body, "Do you know why he became like this?" "I know."

The young man said: "Although my father has never taught me or told me about his past, my grandfather had already told me everything he knew when I left home to become an apprentice."

"Grandpa?"

Su Shixia was even more confused, and finally grasped the key point, "Looking at your age, your father must have been crazy before you were born, right? Then your mother and your father..."

When asked about his parents, the young man lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My father and mother's marriage was arranged by my grandfather. My grandfather... used to be the steward of my father's side."

According to this young man, when his father left the Ji family to study abroad, he only took one person with him, the housekeeper Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu has worked in the Ji family for many years and watched Ji Qingcheng grow up.

He had no children in his life, his wife died early, and he only had an adopted daughter in his family.Because of this, he devoted almost all his care for the younger generation to Ji Qingcheng.

Despite the difference in status, Uncle Fu really treated Ji Qingcheng as his own son.

He understood Ji Qingcheng's distress at being crushed by Ji Qingyuan. When Ji Qingcheng decided to leave Ji's family, he followed Ji Qingcheng and left without hesitation.

Later, Ji Qingcheng's temperament changed drastically because of the extermination of the Ji family, and he still followed Ji Qingcheng unswervingly.

He couldn't bear to see Ji Qingcheng have no heir, so he forced his adopted daughter and Ji Qingcheng to get together. In order to make things happen for them, he even drugged them.

Ji Qingcheng was crazy at the time and had no sense at all. Uncle Fu's adopted daughter became depressed after she was "forced to get married." After she became pregnant and gave birth to her son, she made a fuss about going up the mountain to worship Buddha as soon as she was out of confinement. did not return.

Some people said that she committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, while others said that she had arranged to elope with the man she liked. Uncle Fu also tried to look for her, but after several fruitless searches, he could only give up and assumed that she had left early. .

The young man in front of him was raised by Uncle Fu...well, his grandfather.

According to what the young man said, although Uncle Fu's actions were extreme, he was very good to him and his father.

"When grandpa was still alive, he worked outside to make money. Although our family was not rich, we could still live on."

The young man said: "But grandpa is old and sick again. He also knows that his body can't hold on for long, so he asked me to go out and be an apprentice, so I can learn a craft that can help me stand up first. "

"I studied with that doctor at that time, hoping to learn the real skills from him and treat my grandpa. But he...he just regarded me as a free laborer and refused to teach me at all."

"My grandfather passed away later, and my father has become like this. If there is no one to watch over him, he will be beaten to death outside sooner or later. I have no choice but to return to the imperial city to take care of him."

Su Shixia almost laughed out loud on the spot when he heard this.

"It turns out that you also know that your father is particularly annoying now. He is already like this...haven't you ever thought about giving up on him? In his current state, death...may be a kind of relief for him. .”

"I know he is not good, and I also know that others hate him, but...but no matter what, he is still my father and my only relative! If he is gone, then I...I..."

The young man's eyes were red and his lips were trembling. He couldn't utter a single word for a long time. He kowtowed hard to Su Shixia and said hoarsely: "Madam, I beg you, please save me." 's father."

"As long as you can heal him, I can do anything for you!"

Su Shixia narrowed her eyes and looked at the young man for a long time, but did not respond to his prayer. She just said calmly: "Answer my last question."

"Why are you so sure that I can cure your father?"
