Aunt Pei's speculation was interrupted, and she suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Your mother said that because she definitely didn't want you to feel guilty."
Shen Baiying looked at the mirror in her hand with envy and reminded her, "You must take good care of it. I heard that this thing can't be knocked or touched."
Li Nian replied, "Well, now that I know its value, I must preserve it well."
She looked as if she treasured it and put the mirror away.
After the gathering, the two best friends and Aunt Pei sent Shen Baiying out.
Li Nian stuffed the silver hairpin into Li Sisi's hand and carefully instructed her, "Aunt Pei likes you very much. Go and give it to her. By the way, ask her about the status of the identity documents. If you need money, ask Aunt Pei about the cost so that we can prepare it. As long as we can get the identity documents, it doesn't matter if she spends a little more money."
Li Sisi took the silver hairpin and nodded seriously: "Okay, I understand." After that, she turned and went to the front yard.
In the capital, in the Xiaohou Mansion, in the study of Jinxiu Residence.
"Second Master, Miss Wen was bailed out of the Dali Temple by Qi He, the eldest son of the Qi family."
Xiao Yunchen's hand holding the pen suddenly became heavy, and the originally beautiful characters completely lost their charm because of this stroke.
The hand holding the brush tightened more and more. With an expressionless face, he destroyed all the words he had written stroke by stroke. Without even looking up, he asked in a deep voice, "What have you been doing lately, young master?"
Aoki clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly low and depressing, as if something was collapsing and shattering in the oppression.
He answered respectfully and carefully, "It's still the same."
Xiao Yunchen looked at the pure white paper on the table. Because of that one stroke, it was now all stained black by ink. There was no trace of those beautiful and colorful words at all.
"Waste!" He didn't know whether he was scolding himself or his disappointing elder brother.
Aoki went even lower.
"Where is Big Brother now?"
Qing Mu listened to Xiao Yunchen's almost flat voice and quickly replied, "In Furong Pavilion."
Qingmu has followed Xiao Yunchen since he was a child and has grown up with him.
In his eyes, Xiao Yunchen has always been a gentle and jade-like young master from a marquis's mansion.
Mrs. Xiao has only one son, Xiao Yunchen, and she has put all her thoughts on him since he was young.
He was given the best living conditions since he was a child, and he was given the best teachers. From food, clothing, housing, transportation to his official career, almost all of Xiao Yunchen's path was arranged.
Even his wife was carefully selected by Madam Xiao and the Marquis.
In the past, Qingmu thought this was great. Everyone praised and envied his son, and he also thought that his son would live a smooth life.
However, everything went wrong because the old lady married the young master a rebellious wife.
It would be fine if he was a heretic, but he died young!
Aoki watched helplessly as his once gentle son turned into the strange, silent, moody person he is now.
What made him even more puzzled was that his young master actually forged evidence and framed the second Miss Wen for poisoning the Crown Prince's wife!
You know, his son has vowed since he was a child to be a good official who is honest and upright and benefits the people!
Now that the eldest son of the Qi family has stepped forward to protect the second Miss Wen, he is really afraid that the young master will get angry and directly become the enemy of the eldest son of the Qi family!
But he couldn't guess what his master was thinking at all, and he didn't dare to ask.
Xiao Yunchen put down the brush in his hand, his long drooping eyelashes casting a gloomy look on his eyelids: "Let's go to Furong Pavilion."
Aoki was shocked again.
His young master has been a clean-handed person since childhood and never visits such brothels. Now he goes to Furong Pavilion... He should be looking for the eldest son, right?
Of course!
