Helian Sheng continued, "Since there's nothing else to do, father-in-law should go and rest first. If anything happens, I'll send someone to report it."
Duan Hong originally had a lot of things to do, and since Helian Sheng said so, he hesitated for a moment and had to go down to get busy first.
At the same time, he asked the servants to clean up the courtyard where Duan Qingxi lived before she got married, and asked Helian Sheng to go there to have a rest first.
As for Duan Sijin... he didn't pay much attention to him.
As soon as Duan Hong left, Helian Sheng turned his attention to Duan Sijin, just looked at him without saying anything.
Actually, he wanted to ask him some questions, but thinking about this juncture, he was afraid that no matter what he asked, Duan Sijin would not be in the mood to answer, and even if he answered, he would not know whether it was true or false.
Fortunately, Duan Qingxi came out half an hour later.
Duan Sijin looked up at her, seemed a little excited and wanted to walk over, but he stopped and didn't dare to go over. Instead, Helian Sheng walked over first.
"how's it going?"
"It's okay, just wake up. But I don't know when you can wake up."
Helian Sheng nodded and wanted to say something, but when he saw Duan Sijin over there, who seemed to want to come over to Duan Qingxi but hadn't dared to, he took the initiative to say, "Then I'll go back first. You... can stay here for two days."
Duan Qingxi nodded. She was really worried about what had happened to Chanxue suddenly.
After Helian Sheng left, Duan Qingxi looked at Duan Sijin and said, "Brother, let's... go into the study and talk for a while."
Duan Sijin had the same idea originally, nodded to her, and the two of them went into the study together.
Qiao Yun stayed by Chan Xue's side, and there were many servants guarding the yard. Xuan Yi and Xuan Er did not leave either, while Duan Qingxi and Duan Sijin entered the study.
After sitting down, neither of them spoke. Duan Yu just stood outside the study and didn't dare to go in and disturb them.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Qingxi poured herself a cup of tea before looking at Duan Sijin and asking, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
As she spoke, she sighed again and said, "Brother, I know you're not that kind of person, but you have to tell me what happened, right? If you don't say anything, even if Chanxue wakes up, I won't be able to give her an explanation..."
Duan Sijin lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, he said, "I don't know what to say. I don't know...how it turned out like this."
Duan Qingxi asked, "Xuan Yi and Xuan Er said that after watching the lanterns, you watched the fireworks at the inn. Where did you go after watching the fireworks?"
Duan Sijin thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I really don't remember. I don't remember anything. I... I only remember taking Xue'er to the inn to watch the fireworks, then eating something, and... we talked for a while. Then I saw she was sleepy and wanted to leave, so I thought about watching the fireworks and personally sending her back. But then... then I really don't remember anything."
After hearing what he said, Duan Qingxi understood.
She didn't believe that Duan Sijin was such a person, otherwise he would have taken Chan Xue away from here by force. Moreover, although Chan Xue didn't seem to like Duan Sijin, if she asked him, Chan Xue would most likely agree. There was no need for Duan Sijin to do such a thing.
She asked, "Then think about it again, was there anything wrong at that time?"
Duan Sijin said, "I didn't feel anything. I...I didn't expect Xue'er to come out and watch the lanterns with me. I was so happy that I didn't even understand what I said at the time, and I didn't have the energy to check other things. I knew the two servants beside you were there, so I wasn't worried, and I didn't think anyone would have the guts to harm me."
Indeed, Duan Sijin's current status is extraordinary. He refused the emperor's marriage proposal, but the emperor was not angry with him, and the eldest princess and Prince Yun did not care too much about him. Who else in the court dares to touch him?
Besides, he is an upright person, has many friends around him, and has never offended anyone. Who would harm him for no reason?
And still...
After thinking about it, Duan Qingxi felt that most likely someone was attracted by Duan Sijin's identity and wanted to win him over in this way, but they didn't expect that it would harm Chan Xue.
However, Duan Qingxi was not sure...
