Value peace

Chapter 179

"Xiyan," Qi Maosheng hugged the little person in his arms tightly, "don't cry, I will always be by your side... I will never make you afraid again, I won't make you regret..."

"I know." Gu Xiyan sobbed, "I'm just worried about my mother and younger brother. My mother is cowardly, my younger brother is innocent and young, and my older sister is in the palace. Although Mi Ji can help take care of her, she is nameless. A long-term plan..." At this point, Gu Xiyan hesitated a bit.

Qi Maosheng also heard a few words, and said bitterly: "Xiyan, my identity and position are inconvenient to reveal. But don't worry, I will send someone to take care of them secretly."

"Even if we take care of them, we still stay far away." Gu Xiyan shook her head: "If one of them is careless and Xizhao discovers the relationship between the two families, maybe it will drag them down instead."

At this point, she had some hesitation.

Qi Maosheng knew that Gu Xiyan had always had ideas, so he hurriedly said: "We are not others, what do you think, just say it."

Gu Xiyan still hesitated for a moment before saying: "The most appropriate thing is to rely on the Liu family. After all, they are mother's family. It's just that the Liu family has not been happy in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years. I came to Yandi Before, they started selling houses and land... What they rely on is the smuggling business of ginseng fruit, Dongzhu and fur... As long as you don't shake the basics, if you can take care of them, take care of them. I believe the Liu family is also a smart person. Naturally, I will accept this kindness... It can be regarded as my elder sister's repayment for their kindness in taking care of my mother and younger brother!"

Qi Maosheng was startled.

The half-bright light hit his face, sharp as a knife, sharp as a sword.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan sighed secretly in her heart.

With Maosheng's heart, Ding Cuiniang and the twelfth grandmother of the Liu family will definitely get rid of them and then quickly... But Mrs. Gu's kindness and Gu Panxi's future, she only trusts the people of the Liu family...

Looking at the worried face in front of him, Qi Maosheng was silent for a moment.

Everything I do is for her.

If the two Liu family members were killed because of this, wouldn't it be the end of the matter.

He shouted suddenly: "Tian Xiang, hurry up and go to Guangming Temple, and send the Liu family's twelfth grandmother and Ding Cuiniang to Gong Tao's house to raise them."

Someone in the entourage responded, turned the horse's head and galloped away in a "dedede".

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

That's all I can do...

* * * * * *
Back at Qi's house, it was already midnight, and Duanniang was still waiting for them at the second gate of the troupe.

Seeing the two enter the door, Duanniang bowed her knees respectfully and saluted Qi Maosheng.

Gu Xiyan glanced at Qi Maosheng, and Qi Maosheng nodded: "Mother Duan already knows!"

She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to say to Duan Niang at this moment.

Duanniang was also a little uncomfortable. Qi Maosheng had told her the news of her old master's death in the morning, but she really didn't feel a little bit sad...she couldn't cry.

The two looked at each other, neither seeing sadness in the other's eyes. After a moment of silence, the two sighed slightly at the same time.

This sigh was like a flash of lightning, breaking the barrier between the two of them. They suddenly realized that Gu Baozhang's death was like a heavy burden being lifted off for both parties.

In a flash of thought, it's just a sip of tea.

Qi Maosheng took Gu Xiyan's hand and prepared to go back to the house, but Gu Xiyan said: "We are back, do you want to go to Mrs. Xu's place to say hello?"

Qi Maosheng said coldly: "Forget it, I'll accompany you to pay her respects tomorrow morning!"

But Duanniang winked at Gu Xiyan.

The two entered the room, while Qi Maosheng was washing up, Gu Xiyan secretly asked Duanniang: "What's wrong?"

Duanniang said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xu is ill!"

Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously, and told Duanniang what happened in the Xianji courtyard in the morning, and said with a smile: "She is not sick, how can she explain to Maosheng!"

Duan Niang had a different opinion, and said: "If it's a fake, why did the young master even enter the mansion, and personally deliver the medicine by the bed in the afternoon. Madam, you have to make up your mind, don't provoke any gossip."

Gu Xiyan was indeed a little surprised when she heard the news. She didn't bother to clean up, and told Qi Maosheng what Duanniang told her, and said, "Let's go and have a look!"

Qi Maosheng was also a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Then wash your face quickly, it's cold outside, change into thicker clothes, let's go and see her."

The two rushed to the Xianji courtyard, and from a distance, they saw bright lights in the Xianji courtyard.

As soon as they approached, a nanny spotted Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan, and rushed in to communicate. The two of them didn't rest, and were directly ushered into Mrs. Xu's bedroom.

Mrs. Xu was wearing a forehead, and she was leaning weakly on the high pillow. Qi Yuzhi and Fang Shaoqin were both standing on Mrs. Xu's kang with their hands down. It seems that before Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan came in, Fang Shaoqin was giving medicine to Mrs. Xu.

Seeing Qi Maosheng and his wife come in, Fang Shaoqin handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Nanny Shi, and then he and Qi Yuzhi went to Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng.

Qi Maosheng nodded solemnly, and then quickly sat down in front of Mrs. Xu's kang. He looked anxious and said in a concerned tone, "Mother, I heard that you were not feeling well this morning, but Nanny Yi said that you are asleep and my son is not to be disturbed... ...what does the doctor say?"

Gu Xiyan also hurriedly bowed her knees to Mrs. Xu to say hello.

Mrs. Xu smiled feebly, and said: "I'm getting older, I'm going to sleep late, and I'm not feeling well. The doctor has already prescribed the medicine. You don't have to worry." Then she cast her eyes on Gu Xiyan, He asked about Gong Tao's wife with concern.

Gu Xiyan said respectfully: "My mother is worried about you. Mrs. Han just suffered from some cold and is taking medicine."

Mrs. Xu showed a gratified smile on her face: "That's good, that's good. Gong Tao is Maosheng's right arm, you can't neglect it. What kind of medicinal materials and supplements you want to use are up to you. I opened my mouth and opened the warehouse to send it over."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Qi Maosheng, and said: "Mother just spoke to my heart. We went to Gong's residence today, but we didn't expect their family to be so poor that they don't even have a decent chair. If mother agrees , I want to invite the doctor in the mansion to see Mrs. Han's disease, and then bring some tonics."

"It should be so! It should be so!" Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly.

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng and said with a smile: "In that case, then I will send Duan Niang to the Gong residence tomorrow."

Qi Maozhi nodded slightly, and Mrs. Xu naturally would not object, and this matter can be said to be settled in this way.

Gu Xiyan smiled and took the medicine bowl in Nanny Shi's hand, sat on the edge of the kang and scooped up the soup and medicine to feed Mrs. Xu.

After drinking the medicine, Fang Shaoqin took the honey water from the handmaid's hand and handed it to Gu Xiyan, and Gu Xiyan served Mrs. Xu to drink it again.

Qi Maozhi said with concern: "Mom feels better after taking the medicine!"

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: "You guys can come to see me. With such filial piety, I'm happy to see it. I'm almost cured of my illness."

Qi Maosheng hastily admitted his mistake: "My son is usually busy, so my mother walks around here less... It's all because of my son." His attitude is surprisingly good, and it is completely different from his treatment of Mrs. Wei.

"Look at what you said, you are a person who does great things, how can you be detained at home." Mrs. Xu smiled kindly, "Besides, isn't there Xiyan who is taking care of me!" After finishing speaking, her eyes fell on Qi Yuzhi and his wife said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest earlier! Today Shaoqin served me for a day, Yuguan, I will go back later, you should thank your wife on behalf of your grandmother."

A red cloud appeared on Fang Shaoqin's pale face.

Qi Yuzhi said: "Grandmother is sick, so there is no reason why we should go to rest while we are juniors. Auntie, let Shaoqin stay here and do my filial piety for me!"

"Stay here and do your filial piety for me", these words startled Gu Xiyan.

The truth is that Qi Yuzhi is still planning to go back to the house by himself and leave Fang Shaoqin here to take care of Mrs. Xu!
Qi Yuzhi's words also froze Fang Shaoqin's exhausted expression.

Mrs. Xu frowned slightly as she watched, and said: "No, no. You don't live in the mansion, the road is far away, you went back earlier to rest, so I won't worry about it."

Gu Xiyan heard the sound and knew her elegance, and said with a smile: "What mother said is true. Yuguan, grandma has taken medicine and has to rest. If you don't go back and go to bed early, can grandma rest at ease? Take Shaoqin back to the house Go, she has been busy all day today. Don't you worry about your second uncle and me here?" Her tone was kind, cheerful, and her words were sincere, which made people feel at ease after listening to them.

Fang Shaoqin and Qi Yuzhi were both startled when they heard this.Especially Qi Yuzhi, who raised his head and gave Gu Xiyan a careful look.

Are you comparing me with Ye Zisu?

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Gu Xiyan's mouth.

Qi Yuzhi saw it in his eyes, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Fang Shaoqin's eyelids drooped, and his silence was terrifying.

After hearing what Gu Xiyan said, Madam Xu showed a loving smile on her face, and said: "I said that Xiyan is one year younger than Shaoqin, and she always treats her like a child. Now, it seems that she is an elder after all. When Yuguan and Shaoqin come, you have to be more careful. Yuguan, Shaoqin, listen to your aunt and go back quickly!"

Only then did Qi Yuzhi and his wife salute Mrs. Xu and Qi Maosheng, and brought a group of nuns and maidservants out of the Xianji courtyard.

Gu Xiyan sent them off on behalf of Mrs. Xu and Qi Maosheng.

Standing under the eaves, she saw Qi Yuzhi striding ahead, Fang Shaoqin hurriedly followed behind him, trotting a few steps from time to time... The two figures gradually disappeared in the hallway.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

The truth is, this uncle and nephew is not a considerate person at all!
In the room, Mrs. Xu was praising Gu Xiyan: "...It's really a pain in the ass. The elders all said that they are humble and polite, clever and cheerful, and among the younger generation of Qi Mansion, we are the first-class talents... "

Qi Maosheng smiled lightly, and said, "This is the mother's complimenting her."

"I'm not flattering her!" Mrs. Xu sighed, "You are young, and you don't understand it. I didn't think so before, but now that I lie down, I realize that I am old. This family matter is also very important. Somewhat powerless, I thought about it, let Xiyan stay by my side, and while I still have the energy, slowly hand over the family affairs to her."
