The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 374

Qi Jiang was startled, and recognized that it was his father's voice, and the tone of his tone was clearly intended to ask the teacher for a crime.He knew that once he turned his head, it would be difficult to get out, so he quickly quickened his pace and ran to a lighted room ahead.

A strong smell of medicine wafted along with the wind, and even the air he breathed into his nose was filled with unspeakable bitterness.

Qi Jiang pushed open the door with both hands, walked straight into the bedroom, and saw the eldest wife lying on the bed with a sallow look, her eyes were dull, and there was some blackness around her eye sockets.

Although he was only away from home for a few days, he keenly felt that his mother's situation might not be good.

The little maid beside the bed was holding a bowl of steaming soup, seeing Qi Jiang rushing in, her voice was trembling with excitement:

"Eldest lady! The second young master has returned home and came to see you!"

She flicked a long braid with red flowers on the back of her head, and gently handed the bowl to the eldest lady's mouth, "Take the medicine, and you will be fine."

Qijiang walked more and more unsteadily, and when he got to the bed, he fell on his knees and began to cry.When the eldest lady heard the crying, she turned her head slowly and looked at him, but her expression was still dull, as if she didn't know her son anymore.

"Give me the medicine, I'll feed it." He took the bowl and spoon, and fed it to his mother little by little.

Suddenly, the eldest lady's hand gently touched his head, which made his heart feel very warm.

The bowl of medicinal soup gradually emptied.The maid took the bowl and spoon away.He sat on the bed and wanted to talk to his mother, but as soon as he moved his lips, she covered them.

The eldest lady leaned close to his ear and whispered in a hoarse voice,

"Jiang'er, run away! The third wife suspected that there was a ghost in the house, and she turned over the wardrobe, wardrobe, and the bottom of the bed in your room. If you must say that you are the most suspicious, I will plead with the master to no avail!"

Before Qi Jiang could speak, she took out a small square cloth bag from the side of the pillow, grabbed it with both hands and stuffed it into the pocket of his coat: "Two little yellow croakers, I will go home after the storm calms down."

Seeing that she was conscious and her movements were quick and coherent, Qi Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the mother was not really sick and confused, but she pretended to be confused in order to protect herself, so as to escape the schemes and persecution of the third wife.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I have my own way!"

Qijiang's pockets became heavy, and his heart was warm and sore.

The money bag at home is managed by the third wife. The eldest wife who has been sitting on the bench for many years can save two small yellow croakers, which is almost her life savings, and even the dowry gold jewelry is pasted into it.

He wanted to return the little cloth bag, but the eldest wife raced against time to take off all the bracelets, earrings and rings on her body and give them to the younger son to take away together.

Before the mother and son could say a few words, in the blink of an eye, the servant girl came to the bedroom again to bring a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and a copper basin for washing her hands.

In front of outsiders, the eldest wife closed her mouth a little uneasy, still looking dull, and let the maid patiently help her wipe her face and hands, ignoring others.

She was calm on the surface, but secretly she was terrified, but it was a pity that she couldn't stand up and help her youngest son through the difficulties.

Based on his many years of experience in dealing with the third wife who is good at intrigue, the eldest wife subconsciously clenched her skirt, very worried that a storm was coming.

Since Qijiang said that there is a solution, she will not fall to the point of running away to avoid disaster, so she will pretend to be sick and stupid for the time being, and wait and see what happens.

Qi Jiang strode out the door fearlessly, heading towards the hall.His figure appeared majestically in the brightly lit hall.

Mr. Gu's face was clouded, and he held a pair of carved silver chopsticks in his hands, neither picking up vegetables nor touching rice.

Qi Jiang glanced at the pointed chopsticks, and felt that if his father really got angry, it would be possible to poke him on the forehead.

The third wife was sitting next to her father. Sure enough, Xiao Jin had a cut on half of her face, and the half of her face with high cheekbones was covered by a veil. Under the light, there was a ball of red that was too much, It seems that a thick red rouge has not been wiped off.

She deliberately lowered her head not to look at Qi Jiang, but mechanically repeated the movement of drinking while holding a glass full of red liquid, as if to cover up her inner anxiety.

Qi Min's knees were swollen badly due to being punched by Lin Yitang, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of Boundary Pain Relief Ointment.The whole person is depressed.Seeing Qijiang coming in, he rarely said a thoughtful word:

"Second brother, you are back, we are all looking for you, come and have dinner together."

Qi Jiang was a little surprised. Not only was the eldest brother's tone not as greasy as before, but he was also thinking about brotherhood, and he didn't incite his father to beat him. After all, it was his brother who was right.

The twin sisters were young, unaware that adult intrigues would fall on family members, and happily leaned over to hold his hand.

"Second brother is back, I left you British butter chocolate candies." Gu Xiaoxiao said, she took out her dress pocket and took out a colorful bag.

"Second brother, if you eat too much chocolate, your teeth will hurt. I have Qiuli cream here, use it to protect your throat." Gu Yiyi was not to be outdone, holding a smooth small round jar in her hand.

Qijiang received the gifts from the caring little sisters, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The two little sisters didn't have bad intentions, they always treated him well, and they didn't reject Qilan either.In the final analysis, the family is still broken by the third wife alone.

In fact, he has never done anything wrong since he was a child, and he has been studying hard for the glory of his family, trembling.

If you have to be accused of being punished and killed, apart from protecting and helping the third wife's jealous third brother Gu Qilan in the dark, there are two recent things:

He inadvertently saw through the secret of the third wife secretly going out from the back door of the garden to meet men in the middle of the night, and incidents in which the third wife was threatened by assassins happened one after another. is impossible.

"Father, mother three, I'm back."

"Fourth sister, fifth sister, I like all your candies."

"Brother, let's drink together, and give me half of the plate of pig ears in front of you."

Qijiang smiled calmly, greeted everyone in the seat, and gently pulled an empty chair beside the eldest brother to sit down.

Seeing that peace was coming, only a loud "Kang Dang!" was heard, and the flames of war broke out on the spot.

In front of a table of people, Mr. Gu suddenly stood up and kicked the mahogany chair he was sitting on violently.

The male and female servants who were standing respectfully in the outer room before all stretched their necks at the same time.

This was the first time in 20 years, and they instinctively felt that they should come in to watch the excitement, but when they saw Mr. Gu's hair standing on end with anger, they all shrank their heads back.

Qi Jiang supported the table and stood up, looking at his father sincerely.

"Father, I shouldn't have left home without permission. I know I was wrong. I will accept whether you want to beat me or punish me."
