"Can I not look for you this time?" Qi Xuan scolded.

"Sister, accompany me to play chess, or else I'll suffocate to death." Qi Xuan pulled Jin Se and sat on both sides of the Go board, Qi Zhen was eating fruits and drinking hot tea, happily watching the show.

"You must make Jin Se's Big Sister show mercy." Before Qi Zhen had even started, he had already pleaded for mercy on behalf of Jin Se. Jin Se smiled, "Big Sister, please be lenient."

Qi Xuan turned his head slightly, and started to play the game. This sentence took a long time, Qi Zhen had already finished eating the entire plate of fruits, and the two were still eating with relish. At the start, Qi Xuan had a smile on his face, but now he was getting more serious.

"Come …" Qi Zhen called Liu'er, she quietly put on her shoes and came down.

"If there's anything that Third Young Miss needs help with, just tell me."

Qi Zhen looked at the two of them and said worriedly, "I don't have anything to do either, I'm just bored."

In the beginning, Qi Zhen could still understand what was going on between the two of them, but now, she couldn't even see a single clue. There wasn't a single thing to eat, so she smiled and said to Liu'er, "Go … "Let's see what else there is to eat in the kitchen. My stomach is really rumbling from hunger."

Liu'er replied and left. Qi Zhen glanced at Jin Se and Qi Xuan, who were sitting upright and upright, and the two of them didn't move an inch. Qi Zhen scratched his head, then leisurely walked to Qi Xuan's dressing mirror and began to fiddle around with it.

Finally, Liu'er brought over a plate of spiced broad beans. Qi Zhen was amused, but hearing that it looked like she had just finished, Qi Xuan exclaimed, "Sister Jin Se sure has good chess skills!"

Qi Zhen immediately asked, "How is it? Big Sister won or Little Sister Jin Se won? "

"Naturally, Big Sister has won. Jin Se admits defeat." Although Jin Se had lost, his face was also brimming with relief.

"Just a little bit more. If it wasn't for my sister being careless in the end, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to win." Qi Xuan who had just finished a round looked to be in a good mood, she picked up her tonic and took a sip as well.

"Indeed, I can't compare to Big Sister." Jin Se said humbly.

Qi Zhen did not eat alone, he stuffed a pea into his mouth and then placed the remaining plate at Jin Se's side, "Come, let's eat and rest for a bit."

"Third Young Miss …" Just as they were talking and laughing, Ru Chun ran in quickly from outside.

"What's in such a hurry?" Qi Zhen was still indifferent, she could not think of anything, nor did she think that it was a serious matter.

"Madame is back. She wants you to come over now." Ru Chun gasped for breath, she had also just received the news so she hurried over to inform Qi Zhen.

"What is it?" Did Mother say that? Could you come over later? I am currently having fun with Big Sister. " Qi Zhen was a little unhappy. She didn't want to walk around.

"Madam said to let you pass." It was only after hearing this that Ru Chun started to feel anxious. Furthermore, Mrs. Xue had gone to the Xue Residence today, and had only just returned home when this news spread, so Ru Chun was afraid that there was something wrong.

"Then I'll go now." Qi Zhen placed the beans on the plate, and patted his hands, "Sister Jin Se can stay here and accompany Big Sister, I think it's not a big deal."

Jin Se turned around. She also did not expect that the Mrs. Xue would actually come back and make such a huge scene.

Before they even reached the mountain and river pavilion, Qi Zhen heard the loud noise coming from inside. She was shocked, and felt that it was not good news.

"Mother?" Qi Zhen still had not entered the door, so he asked around first.

"Come in, Third Young Miss." The one who spoke was not Mrs. Xue, but Auntie Flower.

"Where's Mother? What's wrong? " Qi Zhen wanted to go up to him, but Mrs. Xue turned around with an angry face, scaring him speechless.

"Mother, what's going on?"

Since Qi Zhen had grown up, his Mrs. Xue had always been gentle and demure. Even though he was a bit strict, Qi Zhen had never been this afraid before.

"Hurry up and kneel down!" The Mrs. Xue said in a stern voice.

Qi Zhen was so scared that he knelt down with a "plop" sound, and Ru Chun also knelt down behind him. Qi Zhen was so scared that he cried, and asked immediately, "Mother, what happened? "Why do you get angry the moment you get home?"

"You're asking me? Look at what you've done. " Mrs. Xue breathed out again, as if he did not want to say more, but it was Auntie Flower who interrupted him, "Third Miss, our wife suffered greatly when we went to the Xue Manor today."

Qi Zhen was at a loss. Didn't they say to invite others to be their guests? Why was he so angry?

"After she went, Lady Lin was alright, but that Miss Xue really isn't someone to be trifled with." Auntie Flower sighed and then said, "That young miss said, although her family is missing a head, they still have their own reputation, so we have to find a suitable family. She asked again, if the young miss from the Qi Family secretly adored Young Master Xue …"

Auntie Flower continued, "Speaking of this person, he is truly too arrogant. How can he speak such arrogant words?"

Mrs. Xue looked coldly at Qi Zhen again. She seemed to be very disappointed, "It's you, right?"

Qi Zhen was paralyzed. He never thought that Xue Yuting would actually tell someone else about this matter and even took the opportunity to scold Qi Zhen … What a shame.

Because Qi Zhen had always been thinking about this, he threw his mother's words to the back of his mind.

Seeing that Qi Zhen did not answer, Mrs. Xue asked again, "Could it be Jin Se?"

"No, it's me, not Jin Se." Qi Zhen was a loyal person, she knew how to do things alone. It was enough that she got unlucky, by all means, to not get involved with Jin Se.

Third Young Miss is really confused. We shouldn't ask any further. Actually, we might be able to forgive this kind of behavior, but how can a woman chase after a man …" As an elder, Aunt Hua also said a few words, which made Mrs. Xue even angrier. She slammed the table and said angrily, "Are you really going in such a hurry?!" "As a lady in a pavilion, do you really care about your dignity?

Qi Zhen had never heard his mother speak like that before, so he started crying again. I just wrote a letter. "

"A letter? "However, our family is fair and square. No matter what, his aunt's side is still a superior. I don't know if rushing on like this will affect your father." The Mrs. Xue sighed, then looked at Qi Zhen's pitiful appearance, and suddenly felt his heart ache, hence he said it sincerely, "Now, you have become someone who goes with the flow, even if word spread out, it would not sound good."

"But …" I really didn't mean it that way, Mother, and I didn't say anything. " Qi Zhen cried really hard today, he had cried for Xue Yuting just now, and now he was crying again.

"I've been left behind in numbers... Yet, I am still unable to retort. Everything that they say is reasonable. " The Mrs. Xue was troubled, he thought to himself, "As expected of the Madam General, she is a person who knows how to speak."

"Mother has been wronged today …"

Qi Zhen once again lowered his head and wiped away his tears, feeling extremely sad. He never thought that Xue Yuting would actually tell the thoughts of a girl to another person.
