Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 231

"No!" Mu Zhiyuan strode up to Shi Congti's face, never letting go of his grip on the hilt of the sword, "Miss Nine is my guest, I want to treat her to a drink, without my permission, she can't Come back with you!"

At this moment, Shi Congti seemed to look at Mu Zhiyuan squarely, and said with a half-smile, "I thought it was someone who had such courage. It turned out to be Mr. Mu. My sister is a woman, let alone someone who has never eaten Alcohol, even if you have eaten it, how can you stand the strong wine in the Dengxian Pavilion. Mr. Mu is so forceful, if you ask my sister to accompany you, isn't it intentional to insult my Shi family's lintel?"

Mu Zhiyuan can't say anything more than Shi Congti, in the end, he was at a disadvantage in terms of tongue, and he intended to draw his sword, but he was afraid of losing his reputation of becoming angry from embarrassment.When he was in a dilemma, Shi Yiqing, who had been watching coldly just now, spoke.

"Thank you for your protection, brother. Mr. Mu is just a child. He said he wanted to find his younger sister for a drink. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it if I can't have a few drinks." Shi Yiqing walked forward slowly and smiled, "I met you by chance today. Mr. Mu felt that choosing the day is worse than hitting the day, so he was so reckless, he never thought that he would disturb the family and grandma, and troubled the elder brother to come here, and the younger sister poured tea for the elder brother here to make amends."

Shi Congti glanced at the tea that Shi Yiqing handed over, and said with a sneer, "I don't know when my sister became so familiar with the Mu family, and she actually protected him in front of me."

"After all, he is just a child, so why does my brother care about a child?" Shi Yiqing slightly raised the tea bowl in his hand, "I think my brother has worked hard all the way, so he drank this cup of tea. When you and I return home, don't call grandma Worry is."

Shi Congti took the tea bowl from Shi Yiqing's hand with a grimace, took a sip and tasted carefully, "It's really good tea." After speaking, he held the tea bowl and looked at Mu Zhiyuan, "It's just a waste."

Shi Yiqing followed Shi Cong's proposal to ascend the fairy pavilion, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the private room on the second floor. Against the sun, he saw Mu Zhiyuan standing at the window and looked down at her. He curled his lips into a slight smile, and was helped up by Mo Wuxing'er. He got into the carriage and went to Shi's house as he turned around.

When Shi Yiqing arrived at the door of Shi's house, Shi Yiqing came out of the carriage, saw Shi Congti standing beside the carriage waiting for her, but he didn't intend to step forward to help her, and said with a smile: "Qing'er has been away from home for many years, now I finally saw my brother, but my brother is still as cold as ice."

After hearing this, Shi Congti turned to look at her, curled his lips and said with a sneer, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have become more and more sharp-tongued." After saying that, he went into the mansion without waiting for Shi Yiqing.

As the mother who led the way entered Chunhui Hall, Shi Yiqing knelt on the futon to greet the old lady Meng Shi and the two wives, and there was a sense of time turning back, as if in a previous life.

The old lady Meng said with a cold face: "Where's Qi'er? Why don't you see him back?"

Shi Yiqing replied: "If you go back to your grandmother, Princess Qi likes Qi'er very much, so I decided not to ask Qi'er to come back with me."

"You are so brave!" The old lady Meng was furious, "If you don't bring Qi'er back to me, you won't have to enter my Shi family's door again. From now on, my Shi family will never have someone like you!"

"Grandmother calm down." Shi Congti put his hand forward, "Qi'er grew up under Qing'er's younger sister's lap since childhood, Qing'er's younger sister treated him like her own flesh and blood, it's understandable that she doesn't want to be separated from him, I hope grandma will understand. Thinking about it, Younger Sister Qinger has been sensible since she was a child, this time she should be unable to think about it for a while, why don't you tell her to think about it slowly, think about it, one day, Younger Sister Qinger will know that what we do is good for her and Qier."

Shi Yiqing frowned slightly and went to look at Shi Congti, wondering why he suddenly changed his temper and said these words.

The old lady, Mrs. Meng, still seemed to be angry: "Yuan, you go and clean up the warm pavilion in the east chamber and give it to Miss Jiu to live in. When Miss Jiu thinks it over, call her out."

Shi Yiqing knew that the Meng family was afraid that she would leave and have nowhere to look for her, so she had no choice but to resort to this trick and force her to hand over Qi'er.

Where did Xing'er, who was serving her, have ever been wronged like this: "This is not telling us to stay here, it's just being cautious. Miss, please think of a way to get us out."

"I'm not monkey grandson, I'll find a way to save Tang Seng later." Shi Yiqing looked indifferent, "Since grandma told us to think things through here, let's just think about it slowly, why rush out."

The closed door was pushed open by the girl outside: "Miss Nine, this is specially made for Miss Nine by the old lady's servants." Saying this, Xing'er, who went closer to see the delicate dishes inside, couldn't help but be tongue-tied .

Shi Yiqing took a look at the vegetables and saw that they were all the things she always liked to eat when she was a girl, so she smiled and asked Mo Wu to reward her with some coins: "Thank you grandma for your kindness."

After seeing the girl off, Mo Wu looked around cautiously, then turned around to Shi Yiqing's side, and said softly: "It seems that grandma still misses Miss, and even remembers the dishes Miss likes to eat."

"It doesn't seem like a grandmother's style to take the initiative to show kindness." Shi Yiqing looked indifferent, "Mo Wu, you can take these dishes down and eat with Xing'er. Remember, don't let others see."

"What about the lady?"

"I don't have any appetite, I don't think I'm very hungry." Shi Yiqing smiled with relief, "Hurry up and eat it, you two, it will be cold in a while."

Mo Wu hesitated and didn't dare to agree, seeing Shi Yiqing's urging repeatedly, he finally complied, and went down to eat with the vegetable bowl and Xing'er.

The sun turned gray in the sky, and Shi Yiqing, who was writing scriptures around the candle, stopped writing, rubbed his swollen eye sockets, and was about to take a rest, when he heard someone talking outside, and the door was blocked shortly after. People pushed away from the outside.

Shi Yiqing looked at the visitor with a sneer on the corner of his lips: "I was still thinking, brother, when will you come to see me, I thought it was getting dark, and you would be lazy and refused to come."

Shi Congti waved away the girl who came forward to untie his cloak: "Go, guard outside, no one else is allowed to come in."

The girl bowed her head in fear and retreated, closing the door from the outside, and also shutting off the light outside.

"Brother, do you want to tell me something?"

Shi Congti snorted and said, "You are so smart, why do you ask what you know?"

Shi Yiqing threw the writing brush in his hand on the table, carefully put away the copied scriptures, and said with a smile: "If I don't talk nonsense, how can my brother talk to me? I don't know how I offended my brother since I was young. It makes my brother dislike me even more."

"Actually, it's not that you don't understand, you just want to get an answer from me, don't you?" Shi Congti untied his cloak and threw it on the back of a chair beside him, and said in a deep voice, "I underestimated you and thought of you since I was a child." She's just a concubine, so she didn't pay attention to her, but she didn't expect that it was you who broke me!"

Shi Yiqing leaned back on the back of the chair, his expression hidden in the darkness: "I don't know what brother is talking about."

"Prince!" Shi Cong stepped forward, "You should know what I mean this time?"

"The prince premeditated rebellion, and even went to the Puppet Chu without knowing his life or death. The emperor is determined to suppress him. What does it have to do with me?"

A beam of cold light came, and Shi Congti stood in front of Shi Yiqing with a gloomy expression: "You really know everything. It seems that I still underestimate you."

Shi Yiqing smiled and moved forward to Shi Congti: "Brother said you underestimated me, how much does it mean? Does it mean that I didn't expect that I would know so much before, or that you didn't know that I have such abilities?"

Shi Congti let out a long breath with complicated thoughts, turned sideways to find a round stool and sat down: "Ability? Are you talking about your ability to read people, or your ability to hook people? What happened to Gao Qichang? And that Mu Zhiyuan. Say it in detail, so as not to be stabbed to your grandmother in the future, let alone whether your name will still be on the genealogy, even if your biological mother’s surname is Xiao, I’m afraid it will also be removed. The ancestral hall."

Seeing him threatening Aunt Xiao, Shi Yiqing was secretly angry, but smiled lightly on his face: "Brother, do you think I will be so stupid that you will make a fool out of me and beg you not to tell grandma? Then you are too young Look at me."

"It's you who underestimated me." Shi Congti straightened his sleeves, "I, Shi Congti, am a masculine man, but I'm not going to gossip about your messy things with grandma."

If she, Shi Yiqing, hadn't known Shi Congti, she would still be willing to trust him a little bit. No matter in the previous life or in this life, Shi Congti was not a person who sticks to jars and pots. He can throw away the poisonous oaths that have been sworn with both hands.

Shi Yiqing thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Brother, someone told me something about my brother a few days ago. I didn't believe it at the time. I was thinking about seeing my brother someday. I must ask you about it." .Let’s just choose today, it’s better to hit the sun.”

She paused, then continued: "I heard that more than half a month ago, a boy under me came to my brother and said that he was asking for help from him. He was looking for me. According to him, the two of you have discussed it. See, but in the blink of an eye, my brother brought officers and soldiers to arrest him."

Seeing that Shi Congti's expression was changing, Shi Yiqing hurriedly said with a dry smile: "I didn't believe what he said, you and I are brother and sister after all, even though you are a descendant and I am a concubine daughter, my brother never liked me and never said anything at home. After a few sentences, I think you and I are both members of the Shi family, so you will save me? Isn't that right, my good brother?"

Shi Yiqing looked at Shi Congti's eyes that seemed to be soaked in ice and snow, and smiled brightly: "Brother?"

Shi Congti followed her with a smile, but the smile was like a hole in the ice: "What my sister said is that the kid is so good at telling stories, he abruptly said that white is black. Fortunately, my sister is wise and never believed his words." , otherwise it wouldn't mean that you and my brother and sister have a rift?"
