Chapter 35
"What do you think?" Mrs. Chi cast an inquiring look on her.

How could Mrs. Chi fail to see that her granddaughter has unusual thoughts these years? In the past few years, she rarely showed up due to her frail body. In recent years, her sharp edge has gradually been revealed.

The way she drinks tea calmly is different from those noble ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing.

Chi Qingdai's every move was very leisurely. She first picked up the tea and spoke before replying: "Since Mr. Pei Xiaohou dared to kill Zhao Shangshu's family, he must have tacitly approved it. The general's palace regards Gu Qingyuan as a treasure, and she is I almost lost my life because of Lianxue."

"Besides, it's still under the eyes of the Holy Emperor. Grandma, do you think that when General Gu returns to Beijing, he will let the Chi family go?"

"what do you mean……"

An innocent smile appeared on Chi Qingdai's lips: "It's just what grandma thought. Now it's nothing more than making the evildoers pay the price. The emperor is suspicious. Lianxue is the murderer behind the scenes. How can the mute emperor be satisfied just because he was frightened? As long as As long as she lives in this world, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in people's hearts."

"What did you say?" Chi Liang even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "You actually want to kill Lingxue?!"

Mrs. Chi was frightened and felt that something was wrong: "Even if the emperor and the Gu family are angry, they won't kill Lianxue. No matter what, the General's Mansion will have to go online for Xie Yan's sake."

Chi Qingdai was noncommittal: "Oh, even if the Gu family forgives Lianxue after taking a step back, as for the emperor, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to assassinate the emperor, this matter will not be passed easily."

Mrs. Chi and Chi Liang looked solemn at this moment: "Qing Dai's words are not unreasonable..." Mrs. Chi was obviously shaken.

"After all, Lianxue is still a member of our Chi family. Why don't we marry her off now, and then we'll do nothing but keep an eye on my brother and his wife. No one will care about the life or death of a lunatic."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the front hall was eerily quiet.

Just then Chi Yinan went back and was about to enter the door when he heard Chi Qingdai's words.

He couldn't understand why all the women in the boudoir had such vicious thoughts, so he rushed in with a straight face and slapped the weak Chi Qingdai to the ground.

Mrs. Chi and Chi Liang were shocked: "Yinan! What are you doing!"

"Let this bitch pay for my sister's life! Chi Qingdai, you are so brave, I really underestimate you!"

"How dare you secretly instigate your father and grandmother to kill Lianxue!" Now Chi Yinan wanted to tear Chi Qingdai alive. If Chi Liang and the boy hadn't been holding him behind him, he would have rushed forward by now.

Chi Qingdai stopped pretending, took off the mask she had worn for many years, and looked at the furious Chi Yinan with mocking eyes: "I'm doing this all for our Chi family, and for your own good, my brother."

"In the end, it was you, Chi Yinan, who was dragged down if Lianxue didn't die. I think you probably knew what Chi Lianxue wanted. You clearly knew that Lianxue liked Fu Huaian, so why didn't you stop her!"

"Oh, it's not because you are taking chances, brother, but you still underestimate people's jealousy. Just a casual word from others, Chi Lianxue can kill someone, who is the vicious person!"

"If we don't deal with Chi Lianxue now, you'd better protect her for the rest of your life!"

"I'll leave it at that. Even if I die, Chi Yinan will do my best to protect my sister!"

Chi Qingdai sneered: "Okay, let's wait and see."

A seed quietly took root and sprouted in Mrs. Chi's heart. Chi Lianxue had nothing to do with her. What she had to do was to protect the Chi family and let Chi Yinan prosper.

……

Gu Qingyuan was in a coma for two days and two nights. Xie stayed with her almost all day long, and Pei Qingci and Pei Yijin often came to visit her.

When Ling Su found Pei Qingci, he was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with his hands clasped together and his face pious.

He, a young man who had never believed in gods and Buddhas and was so public and surly, worshiped the Buddha devoutly once. He didn't know what to say, so he could only pray for her safety over and over again.

"Master Hou, Miss Gu is awake."

Pei Qingci opened his eyes suddenly and quickly stood up and headed towards the general's mansion. Many people cast doubtful glances along the way. In their eyes, Pei Qingci was always calm.Because Pei Qingci often came to the general's mansion these past two days, the journey was smooth.

When Pei Qingci pushed open the door of Gu Qingyuan's room, she was sitting on the bed being fed water by Mrs. Xie.

She seemed to be frightened by the loud noise made by the door just now, and looked at him like a frightened deer.

Pei Qingci took three steps at a time and came to her bed. His outstretched hand dropped back to his side, clenching it little by little, restraining his desire to hold her in his arms.

The achy Adam's apple rolled twice to prevent himself from losing his composure: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Qingyuan looked innocently, her voice hoarse because she had just woken up: "No, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" She pointed at the sweat on his forehead.

Only then did Pei Qingci realize that he seemed a little too excited: "It's okay, I was practicing martial arts just now."

Ling Su glanced at Pei Qingci in confusion, wondering why his son didn't tell the truth.

Mrs. Xie stood up with a smile and left the space for Gu Qingyuan and Pei Qingci. In her opinion, if Mr. Pei Xiaohou was really interested in Jiaojiao, it would be better than Fu Huaian.

Before going out, Mrs. Xie saw Ling Su standing there, who had not yet seen him. She turned around and called him out again.

As soon as the two left, the room fell into silence.

"Thank you, Pei Qingci."

"Huh?" He was a little puzzled.

Seeing his stunned look, Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Who said that Mr. Pei Xiaohou was as cruel and ruthless as the King of Hell? He was obviously quite cute.

"My mother told me everything, and I have been troublesome for the past two days."

Pei Qingci chuckled from deep in his throat: "It's my job."

"What's wrong?" He saw that she had been staring at him.

Gu Qingyuan came to her senses and shook her head, smiling at him: "It's nothing, I just want to go out for a walk."

Meeting her expectant eyes: "Okay."

The tall and tall young man knelt on one knee and put on the girl's shoes and socks with his own hands. Her foot injury was not fully healed yet, so Pei Qingci moved gently, for fear of hurting her.

For some reason, Pei Qingci always felt that this scene was familiar, so familiar that his eyes felt sour. He was certain that he had never helped anyone put on their shoes and socks before, not even Pei Yiyi.

Gu Qingyuan saw that his hair crown was a little crooked, so he raised his hand to help him straighten it.

Feeling the touch on her hair, he raised his eyes to look at her. When the two looked at each other, all their emotions seemed to have settled down, leaving only the almost irrepressible emotion and heartbeat.

It was Pei Qingci who moved his eyes away first: "Your feet are not fully recovered yet. I'll find a wheelchair."

As soon as he left, Gu Qingyuan quickly patted his hot cheek.

Gu Qingyuan, you are so worthless!I kept complaining about myself in my heart for not living up to expectations.

It was not Pei Qingci who came back with the wheelchair, but Ningdong and Yuetao. They helped her into the wheelchair and put on a cloak before going out.
