Mrs. Xue was a little listless today, but she did not seem to be angry.
"I heard that your student has been causing a ruckus recently. Your father has not returned home at a normal time for a very long time."
Mrs. Xue paused for a moment before continuing, "Last night, when he went back home, I discovered a wound on his chest. I was extremely scared."
Qi Zhen turned pale with fright when she heard it. She knew that her father was a martial general, but he was still a general, how could he be injured?
"How could this be? Father has close protection, why?" All of you, just go for free! " She had always thought that her father was someone who could support the heavens and the earth. She never thought that he would actually be secretly injured, and so, Qi Zhen felt a kind of inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
"He's also risking his life. Luckily your father reacted quickly, otherwise …" Otherwise, I don't know what will happen. " Mrs. Xue sighed.
"Auntie, don't worry. There will always be an explanation for this, don't worry." Jin Se was calmer. It was useless to complain now, it was just like when people fought on the battlefield, they would never be safe and sound.
"Uncle's injury is more important …" Aunt, have the doctor see it? " What Jin Se said was nonsense, but perhaps only they would be at ease if they knew the answer to his question.
"En, I've seen both of them. The doctor can say that. You two can rest assured." Mrs. Xue's expression recovered a little, because Governor Qi's wound was not fatal, and was just suffering from it, so it was nothing much.
Jin Se had always loved his uncle and aunt, so he affectionately pulled her hand. Although Mrs. Xue was middle-aged, his skin was still delicate and white.
She paused, seeing that Mrs. Xue's expression had lightened, she continued, "After this matter, Uncle must have been protected by a lot of people. Not to mention other things, even ordinary people would not be able to get close to me."
Hearing Jin Se's words, the Mrs. Xue nodded his head at noon, "Mn, what I said makes sense."
"However! You two, stay at home! " Mrs. Xue suddenly changed the topic and started lecturing Jin Se and the others.
"What are you doing running over to my boy's house?" Mrs. Xue looked at Qi Zhen who had his head lowered, "As your big sister, don't bring your little sister around to play. It's a mess outside, do you remember?"
Qi Zhen answered repeatedly, "Yes, mother."
Only then did Mrs. Xue nod his head in satisfaction.
Qi Zhen saw that the soup on the table was almost out of steam, "Auntie Flower, warm this up again, I'm afraid mother still wants to eat more."
"That's right. Madam was worried about the two ladies not having anything to eat, so you must be hungry."
Auntie Flower carried the things out, but he shook his head, "Forget it, I won't eat today. I'm not hungry."
Qi Zhen coaxed her as if she was a child, "Mother, just eat a little more, I, Jin Se, also haven't eaten anything either, let's eat together."
"Right?" Qi Zhen looked at Jin Se, and Jin Se immediately understood, "Third Elder Sister is right."
"So it's you two brats who want to eat it!" Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Go, go and get some more food from the kitchen."
"Yes."
After Auntie Flower left, he said a few other insignificant words. Most likely, he calculated when Qi Yue would be able to return home, and it had been a long time since he last saw his sister, Jin Se's mother.
As the three of them were eating, Mrs. Xue suddenly thought of something and said, "That's right, I had the tailor come today to make some clothes for you two sisters."
"What are they making at this time of day?" Qi Zhen swallowed the pastries in his mouth and asked.
"Your Big Sister is pregnant, so you have to come back to your mother's house to stay for a few days."
Mrs. Xue's face revealed joy.
Jin Se recalled that she had only seen Big Sister once when she came to the Qi household.
"Then when did Big Sister arrive?" Qi Zhen was also happy to see it, her round face was full of smiles.
"She should have already left. I was thinking that she could come over later, because of the chaos in the army. I was afraid that I would hurt her. But she said she missed me a lot and insisted on coming over." Although Mrs. Xue was a little worried, she was still happy. She glanced at Jin Se, "I'm afraid you haven't said anything to your Big Sister yet, right?"
Jin Se nodded, "I've only met you once."
"At that time, your Big Sister was in a hurry back home, and you didn't stay at home for long before leaving, so you didn't have much time to get close to your Big Sister."
The Mrs. Xue explained. On the second day after Jin Se came, Qi Xuan left. The mother-in-law kept urging him, and she didn't even have time to bid farewell to Jin Se.
Elder sister left in a hurry. I know that. She even left behind a pair of emerald earrings." Elder sister left in a hurry. Jin Se thought of that big sister who had a natural demeanor and a smile on her face. She could not help but feel close to her.
"But it's nothing. You'll see it soon." Mrs. Xue usually doted on Qi Xuan a lot, but Qi Xuan's wife seemed to be a little tricky, he did not bring up the matter, but Jin Se and the others bade farewell to him, and when he walked out of the house, Qi Zhen started to complain about Qi Xuan's mother-in-law.
"My Big Sister, everything is good. At that time, the ones who proposed for marriage had already stepped through the threshold. I never thought that that evil grandma would make things difficult for us. It really makes us angry."
"I've always heard that elder sister's husband is someone who has courage and foresight, and he also got a good job. What about it? You will even allow Big Sister to be bullied by his old mother? " Jin Se had also heard some rumors, so he had some questions.
Even when she went back to her mother's house, she wasn't willing to say much about her old granny. It's just that her old granny was very biased, and always ordered Big Sister to do this, do that, if there was any disagreement, she would scold and talk about it. Big Sister is also an extremely filial person, and always liked to endure it. Qi Zhen's heart seemed to ache. Although she was still an underage at the time, but she had seen Big Sister's dowry, and took it all in boxes. She did not expect that such a person would take advantage of her.
"Is it brother-in-law's brother?" Jin Se replied without a word.
"Hm!" It was the older brother of the Big Sister, the older brother of the older brother-in-law was very disappointing and did not have much work to do, so after the division of the Big Sister, he only had to sit idly, so the old granny of the Big Sister always cried and complained, saying that the Big Sister and the rest forget about the younger uncle when they have a good time! Available... But they themselves were not worthy, and yet they came to cause trouble for my Big Sister.
After he finished speaking, Qi Zhen spat on the ground.
"This is indeed going too far. As long as big sister's husband treats big sister well, everything will be fine. Isn't he pregnant now as well? Going back to our mother's house and having a few days of comfortable life, how great that is." Jin Se comforted Qi Zhen's emotions.
"Even so, whenever I think about it, I get angry. Brother-in-law always stands on Big Sister's side, brother-in-law doesn't dare to be rash."
Qi Zhen was also a little proud. Summoning's family background was not bad, even if she got married, there wouldn't be any problems. She would always give the two sisters a good day out of respect for her father.
"What big sister said is right, Big Sister will definitely give birth safely. There are still many good days left in the future." Jin Se was a little envious of them. On the side of Yunmeng, Governor Qi was one of the top generals.
The tailors were still the tailors who had made clothes for them previously, so they were allowed to choose some fashionable materials. There were many different types of materials, and they were all very colorful, so Jin Se casually chose a few of them.
"Ai …" "Sister, why did you choose such a simple method? I look at Linglong, why don't you try it?" Qi Zhen took a piece of yarn that was as light as a feather. This sort of thing could vaguely be seen, with an inner lining, no matter if it was made into a skirt or a outer cover, it was still very beautiful.
Jin Se chose materials that were commonly seen, most of them were made of cotton. She felt that as long as she wore them comfortably, then it would be good to watch. The two of them had completely different styles, but when Qi Zhen looked at Jin Se's side, the same color blue and jade green, she felt a little anxious.
"Younger sister, you have fair skin and a nice figure. You'll definitely look good if you wear red. It makes my eyes shine." Qi Zhen smiled as he picked out another piece of red for Jin Se. It wasn't a bright red one, it was a little red, but Jin Se felt that the color was a little too heavy.
"Since you're dressed in such grandiose clothes, why don't you give it a try, little sister?"
However, seeing Qi Zhen's interest, she nodded her head and agreed.
