Chapter 360 Who Am I (2)
"Fourth Master, what are you talking about?" Xun Qingran was a little stunned.
She could understand that Qi You was sad because of Rong's death. She knew very well that Rong's status in Qi You's eyes. It can be said that Qi You was raised by Rong's family. Rong's family is Qi You's grandmother in terms of seniority, but undoubtedly replaced Qi You's mother's existence.
The pain of losing a close relative can only be slowly healed by time and care with other family members. But what does Qi You mean by that sentence afterwards?
"Qing Ran, the old lady told me that I am not the child of the Qi family." Qi You said word by word.
Xun Qingran's hand stopped in mid-air.
"The child of Aunt Wan was not born at that time. I was not the second master's child. The old lady said she was not my grandmother, and I didn't even have the surname Qi."
Xun Qingran was digesting this information quickly. Not to mention the person involved Qi You, she was unable to digest these things for a while.
"The Fourth Master is not the Qi family's child. How could that old lady talk about the Fourth Master's... life experience?"
"The old lady passed away before she could say it." Qi You said.
This is too scammed.
"Who am I?" Qi You's eyes revealed pain and confusion. "Qing Ran, can you tell me who I am."
Xun Qingran's heart hurt a little. Qi You looked cold on the outside, but he attached great importance to his family and relatives in his heart. Xun Qingran suffered a lot of grievances in the Qi Mansion. She was dissatisfied, but she was not much sad. After all, those people were not related to her. But she knew that Qi You was injured.
Even so, Qi You still feels belonging to the Qi Mansion. He has the deepest feelings for the Rong family. He is also affectionate to the second master of Qi and his brothers and sisters. Now, he suddenly says that he is not from the Qi Mansion and has no blood ties with those people. I am afraid that he will not be able to accept anyone who is in it.
Moreover, the Qi Mansion is not from the Qi Mansion, so where did he come from, where his parents and relatives are, and why were they raised as the Qi family's children? The Rong family didn't have time to say it.
It's really a scam.
And Qi You's pain is probably not limited to these, but also includes the fact that he is closest to and loved his grandmother the most, and has deceived him for so many years.
"The Fourth Master is sad and confused." Xun Qingran gently patted Qi You's back and said softly, "Has the Fourth Master forgotten that you are my husband, the father of Xuan'er and Xun'er."
"We have all been driven out. The Fourth Master of Qi's Mansion has only one name left. Now, even if he has no such name, what else can he have? Even if he doesn't have a surname, you are still my husband, the father of the children, and the backbone of our family."
"It's still your brother and friend, Prince Kang, Sister Luan Yu...."
"If you are not surnamed Qi, you are always you." Xun Qingran said, "We will always be with you."
Xun Qingran could not answer where Qi You came from, but she could remind Qi You of her current position and responsibility.
"Fourth Master, it doesn't matter who you were in the past." Xun Qingran said again, "But you can't forget who you are now, otherwise I will be the first to refuse. Our son and daughter will not agree to that either."
"Qing Ran." Qi You's voice seemed to sigh.
"Second Master, it's useless to think too much about something. The old lady is gone. You are too sad and can't hurt your body. Sleep for a while, and you'll get better after a while."
The kang in the warm cabinet was very spacious. Xun Qingran took a pillow and placed it next to Yu'er's pillow. He helped Qi You lie down next to Yu'er, and then pulled over the thin quilt to cover Qi You.
Xun Qingran's gentle words were in his ears, and the faint milky fragrance lingered between his nose. These seemed to have powerful magic of stability and hypnosis. Qi You slowly closed his eyes and really fell asleep.
When Xun Qingran saw Qi You asleep, she let out a sigh of relief and then began to think carefully.
Qi You is not a descendant of the Qi Mansion, so this is probably a secret that only Rong clan knows.
She recalled the little things they had with Rong when they were in Qi Mansion, the favor of Rong and the high hopes they had placed. She remembered Rong once said that she hoped that Qi You would work hard to revitalize Qi Mansion. It was revitalization rather than inheritance. She did not find it strange at that time, because the Qi Mansion should have been the eldest son of the eldest son, that is, Qi Xiu inherited. Even if the rest of the people made great contributions to the Qi Mansion, they could not surpass this order of inheritance.
There is also about Aunt Wan. Rong deliberately weakened the existence of this character. Even after the truth about Aunt Wan's death was spread, Rong only explained it lightly. At that time, Xun Qingran did not think much about it. Rong's orthodox thought was deeply rooted. She had long seen that the life of the aunt's concubine was really comparable to an ant in Rong's eyes. There was also Qi You, who did not show too much grief towards Aunt Wan after learning that Aunt Wan was his biological mother. It has to be said that this is inseparable from Rong's attitude. Also, although Mrs. Qi Er always treats Qi You indifferently, Qi You does not lack maternal love.
In addition, there was also the huge amount of land industry. Rong was also hiding from the people of the Qi Mansion, but let Qi You know it and left it to Qi You.
When I think about many things carefully, even if they are a little strange, they can be explained at that time. Now that I think about it, all of them have new meanings.
However, even though she figured it out, the problem was still not solved. Qi You is not Qi You, so who is he? Rong has buried this secret for so long. Judging from her usual attitude towards Qi You, she should never plan to say it in her life. Why did she suddenly say it when she was dying? Wouldn't it be better to keep it hidden? The Qi Mansion is now when everyone needs to work together. Isn't it afraid that everyone will be disheartened?
According to Qi You, Rong seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't say it. What would Rong's words be like? Of course, it should include Qi You's life experience. What will this help the Qi Mansion?
What was Rong thinking? Was he intentionally doing this or was confused when he was dying in the end? Judging from the situation in the mansion, only Rong knew the secret of Qi You's life experience. If Rong went like this, the secret would be buried forever with Rong. Qi You would always figure it out that even if his life experience became a mystery, he suddenly had no grandmother, his parents, brothers and sisters, he was definitely not alone. He was surrounded by her, Xuan'er, Liu'er, Fusheng, and those close friends.
Xun Qingran looked down at Qi You, and Qi You still had his eyebrows locked in his sleep. Xun Qingran stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Qi You's eyebrows. Rong loved Qi You and valued Qi You, and Xun Qingran had no doubt about this. However, Rong also gave Qi You too heavy, which should have been avoided, and Qi You should not bear the burden.
"I am the one who loves you the most in this world." Xun Qingran murmured, only she, who cares about everything.
"I know." Qi You woke up at some point, looking at Xun Qingran with dark eyes.
Is this considered being caught secretly confessing? Even though he had already given birth to a son and a daughter together, Xun Qingran still felt embarrassed.
"And you will always be with me, no matter who I am, what I do!" Qi You stretched out his hand and hugged Xun Qingran's slender waist because her childbirth had not yet recovered.
Xun Qingran didn't say anything, just nodded.
Yu'er also opened his eyes. This time he didn't cry, but just wriggled his mouth and looked at Xun Qingran. Two men, one big and one small, had a similar face, and a little red rouge between his eyebrows. Xun Qingran only felt full of happiness.
……………………
A white banner was hung in front of the Qi Mansion. The mansion was covered with silver, and everyone had changed into mourning clothes. Rong's mourning hall was set up in the front yard. The eldest lady and her second grandmother and others had already cleaned Rong's hair, combed her hair again and put on the burial clothes. However, no matter what method they used, they could not let Rong close her eyes.
"The old lady's eyes are still open, so I'm not at ease with us."
"What should I do?"
Everyone was very anxious, and the mourning person should arrive soon. Seeing Rong's appearance, he didn't know what he would say, let alone that Rong could not be buried in the soil like this.
"Is there an order in the palace?" the master asked Qi Xiu.
When the Qi Mansion was pardoned, they naturally submitted a memorial to thank him. Rong suddenly passed away like this. They did not dare to make any decisions about Rong's funeral and burial standards, so they still wrote the memorial and handed it on, but there was no reply.
"Once the old lady went into the palace, she rescued the people from the mansion. The old lady was decent with the emperor and the empress dowager. She should follow the rules of the Duke's wife and hold a large funeral."
"Yes, this also makes the emperor's kindness look great, so those villains who want to laugh at us will not dare to step on their heads."
"As something like this happened in the mansion, I'm just doing it so much. I'm afraid it's not good. If the palace blames it, no old lady will come to the palace to plead with her again this time."
"That's right, Dingyuan Hou was also implicated and was scolded in the court. Now he is sick at home. Let's be more at ease." Mrs. Qi Er was the culprit, and Fang Xin, as his nephew, was somewhat angry.
Everyone in the Qi Mansion had different opinions, and the scene was a little chaotic.
"Master, all the people who went out to report the funeral are back." A manager came in to report.
"What do you say?" the master asked hurriedly.
"Several families, the owners were not at home, and they said they would come to pay their respects when the owners came back. Now there are only a few families in the mansion." The manager said hesitantly.
The master threw the teacup in anger.
"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help in time." Master Qi Er sighed. Their crime of deceiving the king was a serious crime. Although they have been forgiven, their future is worrying. If it weren't for such a sin, those people were confused about the details, and they were afraid that they would not say that the master was not at home, but they would directly beat the person who reported the death.
"The villains are all snobs." Master Qi walked back and forth on the ground angrily. "A few days ago, even those who were indisputable came to flatter each other. I wish I could change my surname to Qi, so I recognized us as ancestors. Now I have turned against each other. Damn, it's really abominable."
"The warmth and coldness of human feelings." Mr. Qi Er murmured.
