This is the thirty-eighth time Qi Mo has discovered Qi Che secretly looking at himself. With a cold expression, he coughed lightly and asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing, nothing." Qi Che quickly adjusted his posture while holding the book, saying, "I'm just reading, not looking at you."
Qi Mo glanced over indifferently, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, then set it down and leaned back into the soft chair.
"Your book is upside down..."
Qi Che: "..."
Regarding whether or not to tell his Fourth Brother that the child of Su Peijiu is actually his biological child, Qi Che decided to keep it to himself for now. First, there was one question he hadn't figured out: why didn't Su Peijiu tell Qi Mo about this? Also, was her relationship with Ji Yu really just a simple brother-sister dynamic on the surface?
Additionally, where had Su Peijiu put that older child? Despite sending people to search for a long time, there hadn't been any news—had the child truly vanished from the human realm?
He awkwardly set the book aside and subtly glanced over again, only to meet Qi Mo's deep gaze, causing him to stiffen slightly.
"What exactly is going on?" Qi Mo asked impatiently.
Qi Che chuckled awkwardly. "It's not a big deal; it's just that..."
"What?"
"Just..." Qi Che hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. "How much do you know about that child named Jin Sheng?"
"Um... excuse me." A gentle female voice interrupted. Qi Che looked up to see Su Peijiu peeking her head in at the door, her expression timid.
The amnesiac Su Peijiu had become increasingly adept at acting cute and delicate... which made his Fourth Brother quite pleased. However, standing beside them, he just wanted to step outside and vent a little.
As long as you've seen this woman standing majestically in front of a group of ruthless guards, commanding them with a single word "kill," along with her iron-fisted methods during the Yuan Cang incident, you would realize how vastly different she was from the fresh and gentle lady she appeared to be now.
Memory is truly a double-edged sword. When the cherries are red and the bananas are green, lovers see beauty in each other, while the wise only see the dirt in their eyes.
Qi Che had not finished speaking, but still did not have the courage to point at Su Peijiu in front of Qi Mo and shout, "It's this woman who turned your son into someone else's child and put a huge green hat on you... Shouldn't she be killed on the spot?"
"You all chat; I have things to attend to, so I'll leave first." After saying this, he wisely stepped out and even thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
Su Peijiu held the ointment in her hand, hesitating for a moment before looking up to see the teasing smile on the other person's face, causing her thin skin to flush a bit.
"Why are you standing? Sit down." Qi Mo, covered in injuries, couldn't stand up to greet her and could only invite her verbally.
Su Peijiu was not one to be overly polite; she sat down beside him and took out the ointment, placing it in his palm: "This is an ointment I specially had Hua Qian prepare for scar removal."
"And there's this..." Su Peijiu reached into her left sleeve with her right hand and finally pulled out something wrapped in black cloth. She leaned closer to Qi Mo's ear and said mysteriously, "This is something I stole from my senior brother House. He used this stuff, and his skin became as smooth as that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl."
She placed the black cloth in Qi Mo's palm, her eyes curving into a smile: "With both methods combined, the scars will disappear completely!"
Throughout the entire exchange, Qi Mo said nothing. Only after she finished did he speak with a hint of sadness: "After applying these things, do you think you'll have an excuse to distance yourself from me?"
Su Peijiu was taken aback, her mouth opening and closing before finally saying, "How could you think that?"
Qi Mo placed the items on the table, his eyes slightly glistening with Azure, looking at the person leaning against him just a foot away with a bitter smile: "Then why did you bring these things?"
"…It’s because of your injuries…" Su Peijiu spoke cautiously.
"If the scars are gone, you can cut ties with me, right? That's what you're planning?"
Su Peijiu quickly shook her head: "I didn't think that way."
"Then what do you think?"
"I didn't mean to draw a clear line with you..." She lowered her head, feeling a bit wronged. Clearly, she had brought the medicine for his sake, but she didn't expect him to misunderstand. The feeling of being misunderstood by him was so uncomfortable; it felt like a lump of water-soaked cotton was stuck in her chest, heavy, damp, and oppressive.
"If you don't want to draw a clear line with me, does that mean you want to get closer to me?" The male voice echoed above her head. Su Peijiu was dazed, nodding without thinking. After she nodded, she heard the person across from her laugh.
"So that's how it is..."
She raised her eyes and became entranced.
The man before her had azure eyes, clear and pure like glass, shining like the brightest star in a sea of stars, casting its light upon her. In a daze, the world around her began to brighten. He slightly curled his lips, his eyes bending as he gazed at her face. At that moment, the air began to fill with the fragrance of orchids; she seemed to see countless blossoms surrounding her, yet she only wanted to possess this one person before her.
"...In my past life, I must have seen you." She leaned forward as if enchanted, reaching out to touch his face, gently caressing it. In her water-like eyes, mist flickered. "I must have seen you and fallen in love with you..."
This man... she must have loved him; there was no reason for it; she just firmly believed so.
Qi Mo took her hand down and held it in his palm, then pulled her into his embrace with one hand, resting his chin on her shoulder. His voice was low and magnetic: "Yes... we loved each other in our past life; our fate is not yet fulfilled, so we continue our bond in this life."
Listening to the murmured words by her ear and feeling the warm breath on her neck, suddenly tears fell from the corners of her eyes... for reasons unknown.
...
Ji Yu saw Su Peijiu come out of Qi Mo's room again, hurriedly walking past him with her head down. He noticed that her eyes were slightly red.
Is there really a love in this world that can transcend hatred and entangle itself regardless? He wasn't sure; the only thing he was certain of was that he wouldn't.
Would the clearly defined love-hate relationship of Qin Ge? The answer would certainly be no as well.
Three years ago, when she decided to give birth to the child and raise it alone, she had already made her choice. So what is the current abnormality?
Could it be that Qi Mo did something to her?
With a complex gaze, he glanced at the room deep in the staircase before heading downstairs.
Now, it seems that only the Ugly Ones among the Shadow Guards know the situation, but ever since the rocks fell, there has been no news from the Ugly One.
As he descended the stairs, a man dressed in a deep purple robe and wearing a half mask walked in from outside the inn. After greeting Ji Yu, he spoke with a slightly nervous expression: "Master, is my lord safe?"
"Don't worry, Black Crow," Ji Yu replied as he walked down. "Has something happened in the capital?"
Black Crow's expression turned serious: "Jun Ye Su has sent many people to look for my lord, but I believe now is not the time for my lord to be exposed, so I hurried here from the capital to deliver this message."
Ji Yu frowned in thought for a moment before nodding: "You go gather your things with Hua Qian. I'll inform your lord."
Jun Ye Su could no longer hold back; tsk tsk... The demonic winds of Chang'an have never ceased.
When he found Su Peijiu, she was leaning by the window looking at the scenery outside. Ji Yu briefly explained the situation. Seeing his serious expression, Su Peijiu didn't ask further and directly followed him down.
At this time, Black Crow and Spend Money had already packed and were waiting on the carriage. Just as Su Peijiu stepped up with one foot, Qi Che returned from outside and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? Where are you planning to go?"
Ji Yu reached out to block him from pulling Su Peijiu back and frowned: "It doesn't seem to concern you."
"What do you mean it doesn't concern me? She is my sister-in-law! The one lying down is my brother! Sister-in-law left my brother behind; how can that not concern me?" Qi Che glared at Ji Yu's face, filled with anger.
Ji Yu, this person, was the scoundrel who took away his Fourth Brother's own child and colluded with that bad woman Su Peijiu to put a green hat on his Fourth Brother!
Ji Yu heard Qi Che start rambling and swiftly threw a sleeve towards him. Qi Che dodged, "What's wrong? You want to fight? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" He placed the oil paper bag on the stone and set the wine jar down, cracking his knuckles, ready to engage.
Black Crow spoke up, "You should hurry and take Prince Huai and Desolate King somewhere else. Jun Ye Su's people will be here soon."
During this conversation, Hua Qian had already pulled Su Peijiu onto the carriage. After Black Crow finished speaking, he drove off. Qi Che stood there watching the dust rise behind the carriage, coughing a few times before looking at Ji Yu, "Why are you still standing here?"
Ji Yu smiled wickedly, "Does it concern you?" Then he walked into the inn.
After Ji Yu entered, Qi Che's expression became complicated. He picked up the oil paper bag from the stone and the wine from the ground before following him into the inn.
It seemed they needed to change locations quickly. Last time, Fourth Brother was captured by Jun Ye Su and suffered greatly. Fortunately, at that time, Jun Ye Su didn't know Fourth Brother's true identity. But now, if he found out that Fourth Brother was within his Crimson Kingdom, who knows what excuse he would use to detain him!
However, when he entered his own Fourth Brother's House, he found it already empty, not even a note left behind.
Qi Che angrily took a bite of the duck leg from the oil paper bag; indeed, the coldest-hearted person in this world was his own Fourth Brother. He had come all this way to buy him soy sauce duck and wine.
But now that Fourth Brother had already left, he didn't need to worry anymore. Looking at the two jars of wine, he frowned and thought it would be a waste. He might as well find that person, Ji Yu, to drink with.
At this moment, Su Peijiu, looking at the bumpy road outside, asked Hua Qian, "Where are we going?"
"To Ping An City."
