Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 466

Sun Jifei was at the bottom of the ladder, waiting for Qin Shi and Xiao Chenyu to come down. Without saying much, they walked through the alley and went straight into the back door of a house.

Xiao Hanyang was standing in the yard waiting, holding a flute in his hand.

Qin Cui was slightly stunned, and then Xiao Chenyu took her hand and half-hug her shoulders and led her into the house.

The lights were on in the room, and Qinggu ran out from the inner room looking haggard. The moment he saw Qin Sui, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to rush over and kneel down, but was stopped by Qin Sui.

"Look at you, you look even more haggard than me. Have you not eaten, drunk or slept for several days?"

Qinggu shook his head, tears flying out, but he couldn't speak.

Xiao Chenyu said: "Qing Gu, take your wife to rest, and go home when it's daybreak."

"Where are you going?" Qin Cui understood the meaning of Xiao Chenyu's words and asked hurriedly.

"Of course we should strike while the iron is hot and get rid of those people." Xiao Chenyu said calmly, but the hatred in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Only then did Qin Cui realize that Xiao Chenyu had some uneven beard on his chin, which he had just shaved but not completely.

"Is it arranged? Is it safe?" Qin Sui felt a warm feeling in her heart, her nose felt slightly sore, and her eyes became moist. She expressed concern, but did not stop him.

"Don't worry, we waited until you were safely rescued before we took action, for fear of accidentally hurting you. Now we don't have to worry about that anymore."

Qin Sui nodded, reached out to hug Xiao Chenyu, and patted him on the back: "I'll wait for you to come home. And them, bring them home safely!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Chenyu smiled and looked down at Qin Sui, his eyes and eyebrows full of relief and fatigue: "Xiao Hanyang stays here, he will take you home tomorrow, if you have anything, just look for him."

Qin Cui raised her eyebrows and nodded.

Xiao Chenyu turned and left. Qin Cui watched his back disappear before turning around and preparing to go back to rest.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a figure standing quietly under the eaves. The moonlight did not shine on him, so the whole person looked a little blurry.

As vague as Qin Sui’s memory.

Perhaps it was the unbearable reunion in Zuihonglou before her rebirth that made her feel angry and unbearable. Therefore, after her rebirth, although they met several times, Qin Sui had never looked Xiao Hanyang in the eye.

When she played the music she often played as a child, it was just a gamble. In fact, she had no confidence that she could send a signal that she was there.

After all, after she was reborn, she refused to play the piano. Even Xiao Chenyu had never heard her play the piano once. The only person who was familiar with and understood her piano playing was Xiao Hanyang.

The capital city is so big, who can say for sure that he can come here?
He turned to Qing Gu and said, "Go get something to eat. I want to talk to Xiao Hanyang."

Qinggu hesitated, but turned and left.

Xiao Hanyang heard what Qin Su said, and without waiting for Qin Su to walk over, he strode over.

The man walked out of the shadows into the light.

Xiao Hanyang probably didn't get enough rest either. He looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot. He stood a few steps in front of Qin Su and respectfully performed the junior's salute: "We are all relieved that Second Aunt can return safely."

Qin Sui was silent for a moment, then knelt down and saluted in return: "Thank you!"

This thank you is for his help, for his dedication, and for his heart.

Xiao Hanyang raised his head and glanced at Qin Su. He seemed to understand what Qin Su meant, and seemed to feel that something was different.

At this moment, Qin Cui sincerely accepted Xiao Hanyang as a member of the family.

Xiao Hanyang also understood that she had truly become his second aunt, and was no longer the little girl who tilted her head and looked at him with a gleam in her eyes.

Qing Gu brought a plate of cakes into the inner room. Seeing Qin Su leaning on a chair with her eyes closed, he did not dare to disturb her. He gently placed the cakes on the table, but saw that Qin Su still opened her eyes. "Go and rest for a while. When it's a little brighter, we'll go home first." Qin Su said.

Qing Gu shook his head and lit the lamp a little brighter. "I couldn't sleep for the past few days. As soon as I fell asleep, I dreamed of my wife. Then I woke up with a start. After waking up, I felt even more tired. It's better to force myself not to sleep than to keep going back like this."

"It's hard for you!" Qin Cui gave a bitter smile. She couldn't even imagine how worried her mother would be.

"How is my mother?" Qin Sui asked again.

"Since discovering that the madam was missing, the Second Master asked the aunt to keep the old lady at the farm for a few more days. So, the aunt has been accompanying the old lady at the farm these days. The old lady still doesn't know about it, so don't worry, madam!"

"I am very confident in what he does." Qin Sui felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but smile.

"Second Master said that we should rescue the wife privately before taking action. First, we are afraid of accidentally hurting the wife, and second, we are afraid that someone will use this to hurt the wife."

"He's probably afraid that someone will use this to disprove my innocence in the future!"

Qing Gu smiled and handed over the cake: "I know that Madam will not sleep until she gets the result, so you should eat something, drink some water and wait."

"Aren't you worried about Xiao Lian too?" Qin Sui didn't see Xiao Lian, so she thought he was working somewhere else.

"If I had known that after marriage, my wife would have to face danger alone, I would have rather not gotten married."

Qin Sui glared at her and said, "It's not the first time I've been in danger. Do you think you'll never get married?"

Then he asked, "Are Qingqian and the others back?"

Qinggu's face turned a little ugly and he shook his head slightly.

"But." Qin Sui's face changed drastically, and she couldn't say that word.

Qing Gu understood what she meant and shook his head: "It's just that we haven't found the person yet, and there is no news. Madam, now there is no news is not the worst situation."

That was indeed the case, so Qin Sui breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person was not confirmed dead, there was still hope of finding him alive.

Qin Sui didn't want anyone to die because of her. She was unwilling to take the life of others, even if it was a servant who was sold as a slave.

She is someone who has experienced days when she had no control over her own affairs. She knows that even if one is of humble status, one still has desires and hopes, and one should have something to look forward to and want to live.

Faint screams were heard in the distance, and Qin Sui realized that someone was fighting over there.

She was a little curious. What right did Xiao Chenyu have to take action during curfew?
The sky was slightly whitening, the moonlight on the other side had not yet set, and the screaming gradually stopped.

"Second Aunt, let's go home first!" Xiao Hanyang shouted respectfully outside the house.

"Okay!" Qin Sui stood up from the chair, moved her stiff legs and back, and woke up Qinggu who was sleeping on the table.

Qin Cui got on the carriage, accompanied by Qing Gu, and Xiao Hanyang followed on horseback.

After entering the back door of the Xiao family, Qin Sui's heart finally settled down. She was always strong and calm, but she couldn't help but have slightly red eyes.

Li Siniang hurriedly welcomed the person into the house, and directed the servants to fetch water for bathing, and also prepared food and clothes for them.

She was so busy that Qin Sui found it funny and called Li Siniang: "Can you help me wash my hair?"

Li Siniang's busy figure stopped, then she walked around the screen and went to the bathroom.

Qin Cui was sitting in the large bathtub, looking at Li Siniang with a gentle smile.

Li Siniang's eyes were red, and she walked over biting her lower lip, but she didn't dare look directly at Qin Su. She walked behind Qin Su, grabbed her hair and started washing it.

Qin Sui heard Li Siniang crying behind her and couldn't help but sigh: "I have not been treated harshly, nor have I been insulted. Look, I am fine, so don't be sad."
