Chapter 126 Seeking Help
After he said this, Chi Yuan realized that he had missed an important piece of information.
Qi's father and Si Mingyue did not meet in the capital. Even for a while after Qi's father returned to the capital, the Qi family still did not know of Si Mingyue's existence.
"But maybe my mother did come before I could remember."
Qi Wang stopped and walked to the grape trellis with a fruit basket.
This grape rack is full of green grapes.
The staff had demonstrated how to pick grapes when we entered the orchard, and soon the fruit baskets were filled with grapes.
Next, it’s time to brew.
The staff will guide them in making wine.
The fermentation work also needs to be completed under guidance, and the day passed like this.
Chi Yuan thought they were just here to have fun today.
But before the sun set, Qi Wang simply arranged for all employees to return, but took himself with him.
He had not discussed all the plans with himself.
"Any other plans?"
She was thinking about how to ask back without arousing Qi Wang's suspicion.
But the more you try to perform perfectly, the more suspicious you become.
"I'm taking you to stay here like this, and you don't seem surprised at all."
Qi Wang's words were a statement, but they also sounded like a test. Chi Yuan didn't understand why he said that.
"Tomorrow is also a day off, so it's not surprising that you want to stay here one more day."
At this time, a man dressed as a butler came over and said respectfully: "Mr. Qi, my master invites you over."
"lead the way."
The man did not refuse, nor did he explain anything to her, but Chi Yuan felt... that the man was so far away from her at this moment.
Words can directly express his heart. When Qi Wang rarely explained, she felt that she could not figure out this man.
Did he realize something? Otherwise, why would he say that?
What the housekeeper said to Qi Wang shocked her even more.
"We, the owner of the manor, all know Mr. Qi's efforts in the past few years. You are very outstanding and will become stronger and stronger in the future."
"But some things... it's better not to expose them. They are not a pleasant past."
Qi Wang didn't refute.
"She loves red wine, and I think she misses home."
Chi Yuan: “…”
He actually knows everything, but he just doesn't say it.
It was Qi Wang's idea, and probably also the owner of the winery's idea, to stay at the manor today.
The two of them chatted intermittently, and Chi Yuan did not interrupt them. A lot of the things she wanted to investigate were indirectly revealed to her during the conversation.
"But you've been married for four years, don't you have any plans to have children?"
The housekeeper suddenly digressed and gave Chi Yuan a meaningful look: "Or is it that your wife doesn't want to?"
These words sounded uncomfortable, as if they were blaming her.
"It's already being planned, you don't need to worry about it."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the road ahead became narrower and narrower. The branches on both sides of the road always caught the threads on her clothes and hair, making it very difficult for her to walk.
Qi Wang directly held her in his arms and blocked all the troubles for her.
"How long will it take? Can't we take the main road to see your manor owner?"
Qi Wang frowned, a hint of impatience flashing across his face: "Do all guests have to go through this?"
The butler remained silent.
"The main road is too far. It's more convenient and safer to take the small road. Moreover, ever since the young lady ran away, the master has set up stricter permissions for the private villa area, so most people don't know about this small road."
Chi Yuan was confused by what he heard.
What is certain is that Si Mingyue is indeed related to the Si family, but why did she leave the capital in the first place? The Si family seems to have a very bad attitude towards her and Qi Wang.
As he spoke, a small path had come to an end, and going further ahead was a new world.
The area of the estate shown on the map is not small, and I wonder if the area behind this grove is included in the winery area on the map.
The grassland is vast, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.
Fortunately, the grass can be seen to the end.
The sun was hiding behind the villa and setting slowly.
"We'll be there soon."
Looking at the villa, Chi Yuan estimated that he still had to walk at least two hundred meters, which was not far.
Qi Wang asked: "Are you tired? I'll carry you over."
She shook her head and stretched her arms: "How long have we been walking? It's okay, let's go."
It’s not to the point that I don’t want to walk even two hundred meters.
Walking from here to the villa is equivalent to directly crossing the grassland area.
There were faint sounds of horse hooves all around, and Chi Yuan thought he had misheard.
If you just want to live here, the grassland is indeed big enough, but it is a bit small for horse riding.
"The owner of the manor has a few horses, and he occasionally rides them to relax. But don't worry, the horses are in the stables at this time."
As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves became closer and clearer.
Looking for the sound, they saw a horse galloping towards them not far away.
The woman on horseback looked about the same age as Chi Yuan.
She reined in her horse and galloped down. Seeing the housekeeper leading two people over, she seemed a little unhappy.
"Uncle Wang, are there guests at home again?"
In the eyes of the Si family, Qi Wang is just a guest.
"The owner invited us. Why are you riding now? No one is watching. It's very dangerous."
The woman snorted coldly, without even looking at the two of them, and got on her horse and left.
"We had a fight and I'm in a bad mood. What's wrong with playing?"
The housekeeper sighed helplessly: "The owner of the manor has only one daughter, the eldest daughter, and he dotes on her very much."
The journey to the villa seemed to take a century.
After entering the villa, Chi Yuan immediately felt a scrutinizing gaze.
The owner of the winery, Si Lin, is also the current head of the Si family.
Judging from their age, he should be considered Si Mingyue's brother?
"Go call Si Zhenzhen back to me! She's becoming more and more lawless!"
Si Lin seemed to have just lost his temper, and the servants were cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
After Uncle Wang left, Si Lin pointed to the seat opposite.
"Sit down, don't be shy."
The man's serious expression was very similar to Qi Wang's.
It is said that nephews look like their uncles, and there is a high probability that the two are related.
"Didn't you say before that you would never come over? How come you suddenly figured it out?"
As soon as Si Lin opened his mouth, he dealt a heavy blow to Chi Yuan.
How long ago was it?
Not long ago, Qi Wangcai told himself that his mother was just an ordinary person.
If he had known his mother's true identity earlier, then hadn't he been deceiving her before?
"Didn't you ask me to come? I was just planning to play for another day tomorrow."
Si Lin snorted coldly, "Don't say such polite words in front of me. You brought your employees to have a grand party here, isn't it just to draw the attention of the Qi family to the Si family?"
"Qi Wang, your mother taught you well, but don't use these little tricks on me."
Qi Wang did not deny this.
"You still don't intend to intervene in my mother's death?"
He quickly changed his tone and said, "But I'm not here to ask for your help."
