Chapter 710: Strategy for the Blind Villain (6)
"I say you are too rude." Shi Yi grabbed the wrist of the man in white tightly and glared at him fiercely, "You look like a decent man, but how come you don't know how to discipline your servants. It's outrageous!"
"Yi Yi, forgive others when you can." Bai Yuer tugged at her sleeve, "There are other things to do, don't waste time here."
"Sir, look at this wild girl..."
"Shut up."
Ji Yucheng glanced at him lightly, and he quickly retreated behind him.
Bai Yuer's face was embarrassed for a moment, and she let go of Shi Yi's hand.
"Miss, I am rude. I apologize to you." Ji Yucheng bowed, Wen Ya looked up and smiled, "My name is Jia Lu, may I know your name?"
"It's enough to apologize. You can go." Shi Yi let go of his hand, took Bai Yuer's arm, and said happily, "Let's continue shopping."
This girl is really interesting. His expression changes faster than the weather.
Ji Yucheng waved his hand and the white jade fan unfolded. He stood out among the crowd, with a smile on his lips, and he was the most elegant gentleman in the world.
Bai Yuer turned her head back quietly, her ears were already red.
"Yuer, do you think they are cute?" Shi Yi picked up two clay dolls from the stall and kept shaking them in front of her.
"Cute." Bai Yuer raised her almond-shaped eyes, "But these are a pair of dolls, prepared for lovers. Does Yi Yi have a lover?"
"No." Shi Yi took out a purse from his sleeve and paid the money. "This doll is given to my brother."
Bai Yuer lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Your brother? Master Qu's illegitimate..."
Shi Yi's fingers were on her lips, "Don't say he is a illegitimate child in the future. He and I have lived in the same mansion for fourteen years. In two years, I will get married, and the Qu family will have to rely on him."
"He has been blind since he was a child, what can he do?" Bai Yuer pulled her hand away and sighed.
Shi Yi's half-brother, she had seen him from a distance once when she entered the mansion before. He was thin and frail, and he didn't look like a man of responsibility.
"He is only fourteen years old, don't rush. I will train him slowly." Shi Yi strode forward holding the wooden box, shaking his head and said, "I couldn't let it go before. Now, I have figured it out. He and I are always family, I can't just sit back and watch him. While I am still married for the past two years, I will slowly teach him. Although he can't see, his mind is clear. When I get married, I will rest assured that he will take care of the Qu family."
"You..." Bai Yuer smiled with her round fan covering her face, "You just think too much."
"You don't believe me." Shi Yi was not angry, and continued to move forward, "I have a feeling that my brother is not an ordinary person. Maybe one day he will be able to accomplish something earth-shaking. Don't look down on him."
This was just a joke when they were young. Bai Yuer didn't take it to heart. However, ten years later, when she recalled the past, she realized that people's destiny had been predetermined when there was no sign.

After visiting the flower and bird market, Shi Yi went straight to the side yard with a wooden box in his arms. After searching for a while, he did not find Qu Jingrong, so he called Li Ping who was carving a book, "Where is the young master?"
"The housekeeper found a book boy for the young master, and the young master and him are reading under the pear tree in the garden." Li Ping glanced at her bravely and continued to work, but his mind was no longer focused.
"Then I know." Shi Yi walked forward a few steps, turned back, and said with concern, "Are you two brothers tired? If you are tired, how about I find a few more people to share the work with you?"
Li An and Li Ping both stopped their work and assured in unison, "Miss, we can do it."
"Okay." Shi Yi nodded, "Then you two should take care of your rest. Work is work, and health is also important."
Qu Jingrong, who came back with Ma Jinyang, heard her words and blinked unexpectedly, "Sister, are you back after work?"
"I'm back." Shi Yi turned around and glanced at him. The new clothes he put on today made him look much better.
At his age, he should wear lighter colors. His dark green and black robes made him look as pale as paper.
"Here's a gift for you." She stuffed the wooden box into his hands.
"Sister, what is this?" The boy frowned slightly. Over his shoulder, he could see the green grass growing beyond the originally planned edge. The beautiful spring always makes people imagine a lot. Sometimes it is the jumping warm sun, sometimes it is the fragrance of peach blossoms in the wild, and sometimes it is the moisture of moss in the alley. What Shi Yi saw was a boy's complex heart.
"Take it. It's not worth much." Shi Yi walked past him to his own courtyard.
Ma Jinyang whispered behind his master, "The eldest lady seems a little angry."
Qu Jingrong did not respond.
Even if Qu Shiyi was angry, so what? He didn't need to care about her emotions in everything.

Qu Taifu returned to the mansion early today. He was going to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two children, but he was summoned to the palace by the eunuch from the palace.
As the sun sets, the palace eaves and tiles are painted with a calm color.
The group passed by Master Qu in the palace alleys and finally arrived at the most remote palace.
"Master Qu, hurry up." The eunuch urged, he retracted his gaze and quickly followed.
Dongsheng Palace. The emperor's residence in the imperial city.
"Your Majesty." The man with his back to him, just the back of the man in the dragon robe was enough for him to recognize his identity.
"Do you know why I asked you to come?"
"I don't know." He knelt down.
"She looked for you?"
Master Qu was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, is the 'she' you are referring to Wanhua or the eldest princess?"
The emperor's tone was so light that people could feel the chill of spring, "Isn't Wanhua the eldest princess?"
If it is said that Master Qu had thought that Wanhua might recognize her son before, however, the emperor's current attitude clearly showed that everything was impossible. He bowed his head and admitted, "The eldest princess visited me last night."
"Mingzhu, you know my difficulties." The emperor still stood upright, but his tone was more solemn, "Think about it, if the world knew about the ridiculous things I did when I was young, how would I deal with my reputation."
"Your Majesty, I don't understand." Master Qu felt more sorrow than respect. In order to preserve the emperor's reputation, someone must sacrifice. Either Wanhua, or the child who knew nothing, or him, the master who assisted the current prince. Or, it could be the three of them.
"The poison has been prepared for you. The child has lived enough." The emperor raised his hand, and the eunuch appeared in front of him, saying respectfully, "Master Master, take it."
