Chapter 130: Just Friends
"Mother, do you mean that the second sister is pregnant?" Qi Qingling couldn't believe it, "Is it because of this that father and auntie tried their best to protect her?" The second sister and the third brother were protected by her father and left, and she and her aunt only left because they were not in front of people and climbed the courtyard wall when the chaos ahead. She never understood that the third brother was the only man in the family, and his father protected him. It's justifiable, but the second sister was already married as a wife at that time, and she was going back to her mother's house for a short stay, why did my father protect her with all his life, but didn't care about the life or death of himself and his aunt?Only now did she realize that the second sister was pregnant.No wonder my father was still muttering to his second sister to protect him before he died. My father is a person who likes children. Although the eldest sister and himself were born by his aunt, he never disliked him. The aunt also treated me like her own child. .Thinking of my eldest sister, after something happened at home, I and my mother escaped to find my eldest sister, but were told that she had committed suicide by hanging, my mother passed out at that time, and she took her mother away with all her strength, she knew that The family members are not good people, they must have forced the eldest sister to death, just like the second brother-in-law's family, they are afraid of being implicated by their own family.

Mother Qi nodded, her eyes lost focus, as if she saw the scene of the year again, the fire killed the whole family, only four of them ran out, "Your third brother doesn't know where it is now? We must find it He, we can rest assured only when we find him, and we can be counted on."

Qi Qingling nodded, also full of thoughts.

After seven or eight days, Han Chen didn't come back, just when Qi Qingling thought he had forgotten himself, he came again, and brought a young man who looked like him, but his behavior was more frivolous than his There are many, just like those dudes outside.

"Qing Ling, this is my second brother Han Zicheng." Han Chen introduced with a smile.

"This concubine is pure and spiritual, and I have met the second son of Han."

Han Yu looked Qi Qingling up and down playfully, then curled her lips in a serious manner, "Brother, this is the little girl you're looking for? Although she looks pretty good, she can't compare to sister-in-law. Qingcheng, you just abandoned your sister-in-law for her?"

"What nonsense!" Han Chen reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Qi and I are just friends, how could I betray your sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense when you go back, do you hear me?"

Han Yu shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, but did not clearly agree.Han Chen ignored him, and said, "Didn't you say to come and see someone, and arrange for her to work in the embroidery workshop as long as she thinks it's okay?"

"Brother, you also have several shops under your control, why didn't you arrange Miss Qi to go to your shop?" Han Yu asked puzzled.

"She is in charge of the shops that father gave her, your sister-in-law's dowry shop, and the manor. I don't want her to know about this." Han Chen explained to his brother in a low voice, not wanting to be heard by Qi Qingling.

Han Yu glanced at his elder brother, didn't say much, just nodded and agreed to the matter.It's not that Qi Qingling didn't hear the conversation between the two brothers. Hearing this, she didn't understand why Han Chen really had a family, and his wife should be a beauty.After Han Yu left, Han Chen took out another pouch from his sleeve, "You can use this."

Qi Qingling pushed the purse back, "Thank you Brother Han, it's just that you always help me like this will be misunderstood, especially your wife, you should take this back, not to mention you didn't introduce me to work just now Well, the money you gave me before will be returned to you when I earn it back from working." After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the house, and stopped before entering the house, "Brother Han, I know you are a good person, so I I don't want to cause trouble for you, and I'm a girl in a boudoir, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to keep in touch with you like this, in the future, I ask Brother Han not to come again."

"This..." Han Chen didn't understand why, but after thinking about it, he did. He had already married and established a business. If Tang'er knew about this, he would definitely be angry. However, she has been too angry recently, and even praised Chunlan for herself Being a concubine, although he thought it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, being so hard-pressed to avoid taking concubines was not such a happy thing.

He was depressed, but Han Yu turned around and went to Su Jin, and told him about it, and Su Jin, who was so angry, jumped on the spot and wanted to settle accounts with Han Chen, but Han Yu forced him down.

"Don't be so reckless. If you go like this, my elder brother will definitely become angry. Besides, I don't think he will be such a person. He will take advantage of the situation when the little girl is in danger. The reason why I tell you is that I'm afraid that if the two of them have something else, won't they regret it then, Jin'er, I suggest you go and see that girl first, I don't look like a demon."

"Look at that girl?" Su Jin didn't want to go, she got angry when she thought that the girl might have something to do with Han Chen, but she was really curious about what kind of girl it was, so she nodded after thinking about it, " Go, go now, you lead the way."

Su Jin was originally wearing homely clothes, but she always had to change clothes when she went out, not to mention seeing a woman who might be the elder sister's rival in love, so she couldn't be too shameful.After thinking about it, since he was going to ride a horse, he simply changed into a neat goose-yellow horse riding outfit, a crimson green narrow-sleeved short, a royal blue long skirt, and a slit in the front of the skirt to facilitate horseback riding.A simple swallowtail bun is combed on the head, the tail of the bun hangs on the shoulders, and a newly picked hibiscus flower is adorned at the end of the hair.

The Qi family's poor house in Jucheng District is located by the river. When Han Yu and Su Jin arrived on horseback, they saw two women washing clothes by the river. One was older than Liu's, and the other was ten years old. Four or five-year-old girl.

Han Yu pointed to the girl and showed her, "That's Qi Qingling."

Su Jin took a closer look and saw that Qi Qingling was wearing an old apricot-colored home-made dress today. Although there were no patches, the color had turned pale after washing. "It's not annoying to look at the past like this." She rested her chin on her hand and said this while tilting her head.

Han Yu laughed, "Then why don't you go and have a look?"

Su Jin glared at him, tied the horse to the willow tree by the river, held only the rein in her hand, and walked towards Qi Qingling.Qi Qingling was helping her mother wash the clothes, suddenly felt a shadow on the top of her head, and when she looked up, she saw a flowery smile looking at her that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Girl, what do you need from me?" She put down the clothes in her hand and stood up suspiciously, facing Su Jin.

Qi's mother also put down the work in her hands and came over. Both mother and daughter looked puzzled when they saw Su Jin. They didn't smile until they saw Han Yu behind her. Qi Qingling greeted Han Yu with a smile, "Han Yu The Second Young Master came to look for me, right? And this girl is..."

"Hello, my name is Su Jin, and I'm the younger sister of Han Chen's wife." Su Jin confessed her identity openly, "I heard from Zi Cheng that my eldest brother-in-law often comes here these days, and I'm here today to see Look, what kind of beautiful girl is stuck in the heart of my eldest brother-in-law?" She giggled, but the words she said were obviously to ask for an explanation.

The faces of the mother and daughter of the Qi family changed immediately. Mother Qi didn't speak, but just looked at her daughter with hatred, but Qi Qingling straightened her waist and replied with displeasure: "If it is In this case, I think Miss Su may have found the wrong place. Han Chen has come to our house several times in the past few days, but I am not clinging to him. He and I are just simple friends. Miss Su may not be talking about me. Bar?"

"Isn't it?" Su Jin glanced at Han Yu sideways, and Han Yu hurriedly tugged at her, signaling her not to go too far.Su Jin ignored her, and just circled around Qi Qingling, "It looks like she's pretty, but she can't compare to my eldest sister's beauty. Oh, let me just say, how could my eldest brother-in-law let me go?" Eldest sister just ignores her and picks up other women casually outside, Miss Qi, I’m sorry, I misunderstood.” If she reads correctly, this girl is not the kind of woman who would be used as a concubine, because her There was a sense of arrogance in his brows and eyes, and he was justified when he spoke to her just now.

"It's good that you know, and you don't need to apologize," Qi Qingling was a little annoyed, "If Mr. Han is fine, take this Miss Su and leave. I have other things to do, and I'm not as leisurely as you rich people. .” Saying that, he sat down and beat his clothes.

"Miss Qi looks somewhat similar to a friend of mine. I wonder if Miss Qi can tell me about her background? Maybe she recognizes my friend." I was going to leave, but just now The moment Qi Qingling turned around, Su Jin froze for a moment, as if she saw someone's profile suddenly.

But Qi Qingling ignored her, and said: "Qingling is not so lucky to be able to know Miss Su's friends. If Miss Su is fine, please leave."

Su Jin stuck out her tongue and shrugged her shoulders. It seemed that she had offended her, but if she had to do it all over again, she would still choose to offend her, because she had to make sure that she would not be the eldest sister's rival in love, otherwise it would be fine. She really has nothing to do with that person, and I won't forgive her easily.

After being bored, Su Jin hurriedly followed Han Yu on horseback and left.Looking at the figures of the two of them, Qi Qingling sighed. She used to be so young and frivolous. She rode horses and shot geese with her third brother, but in a blink of an eye, her family was destroyed and she became a poor person fleeing everywhere. All the original things are like passing away, and they will never come back.

"Qingling, have you learned the lesson this time?" Mother Qi taught her daughter a serious face, "Seeing that everyone has come to the door, if you really have something to do with that Mr. Han, that Miss Su will I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let it go, and you remember what mother taught you on weekdays. Although our family is poor now, we have to stand up and be a man. We would rather marry a commoner as a wife than ruin our entire family. The style of the family will make anyone a concubine!"

Qi Qingling nodded seriously this time, "Mom, I remember."
