On the other hand, Governor Qi who was initially amiable towards Jin Se and the others, had a completely different expression when she spoke to him.
He took two sips of sugar and then stroked his mustache. "What do you mean by that telegram? "Why did you suddenly disembark at the North Pond?"
Governor Qi's tone was extremely serious, and Jin Se secretly sympathized with Qi Yue.
Qi Yue put down the chopsticks in his hands and spoke to Governor Qi in a tone similar to a subordinate talking to his superior, "It's like this, I met a good friend on the ship. He saved Jin Se and I, so it's convenient for him.
"What?" Is that girl that person's child? " The Governor Qi was unable to understand for a while, and when Jin Se saw him, he frowned, but from the looks of it, Qi Yue was extremely used to talking to him like that, but Jin Se felt that he was bound by the rules, so he placed down his bowl and chopsticks and explained to the Governor Qi.
Uncle, we still have to blame Jin Se for this, he caused trouble on board the ship, and fortunately the Lao Er helped us clean up this mess, he was not bad and was also very loyal, so we decided to fulfill his wish and bring his daughter over.
Jin Se had already explained it very clearly. Sure enough, the Governor Qi spoke to Jin Se in a much friendlier tone.
"In that case, I roughly understand …"
The Governor Qi warned again, "When working with a servant, you must clearly investigate his background."
"Yes."
Qi Yue agreed, then he took out the tableware to continue eating.
Mrs. Xue had been busy cooking, Jin Se and Qi Yue's bowls were already completely filled, Jin Se laughed and said, "Aunt, look at my bowls, they're about to spill out."
Mrs. Xue only said, "You look to be so skinny that only a handful of bones are left, eat more."
She was also worried that the Governor Qi's tone would scare Jin Se, so she pretended to be angry and said, "Old master, you shouldn't talk to the children like this at the table again.
Governor Qi doted on his wife a lot, he laughed and coughed twice, "It's okay, I've already finished, you guys can continue eating."
Jin Se knew full well that Governor Qi was trying to keep them eating more comfortably so they could stay behind, "Uncle should eat more to replenish his strength, so you can recover faster."
"I've eaten enough today, so there's no harm in asking the servants to bring me some tea later."
Governor Qi really left. Qi Zhen who had been silent at the table finally spoke.
"If my father had not been so bent over everything, my father's illness would have healed faster."
Qi Zhen knew that the Governor Qi had always been working, and it was like this every day. Their bodies clearly had not recovered yet, but they still had to sit in the study room and take care of the documents everyday.
"When your father went to the Suzhou, he delayed many things, so he had always wanted to make up for it."
The Mrs. Xue was helpless, although he doted on his wife, but he would never be careless when it came to work.
"Zel, you don't anger your father too much." The Mrs. Xue scolded Qi Zhen.
Jin Se suddenly understood why Qi Zhen did not speak anymore at the table. There was actually such a reason.
"I don't want to anger my father either. I just got emotional for a moment... It's all my fault. "
Qi Zhen felt somewhat guilty. She had always been reckless before, but now she had become more sensible.
"How did third sister offend father?" Qi Yue obviously did not know what happened.
"It's nothing, I just had a word with your father. She is really stubborn."
Jin Se could only smile, and thought that he must ask until he knew the whole story, and then pray for her to tell him the truth.
"I've already ordered the servants to prepare the rooms for me to sleep in. I will be able to soak myself in a comfortable bath later." Mrs. Xue was satisfied that Jin Se was able to return, so she had a load on her mind.
"Mother, I've finished eating. I will be taking my leave from Jin Se first." Qi Zhen shrewdly blinked her eyes at Jin Se, and Jin Se immediately understood, and respectfully said to Mrs. Xue, "Aunt, I will go with Third Elder Sister first."
Mrs. Xue only nodded her head. When they had just left their seats, and had not walked far, she asked Qi Yue, "What do you think about that Miss Lin?"
Jin Se was shocked, she was probably going to become a matchmaker.
"Mother, what are you saying?"
Qi Yue was really afraid that she would be heard by Jin Se, so she wanted to stop Mrs. Xue from talking again.
"Miss Lin!" I've waited so long for you, I should have seen you anyway. " Mrs. Xue reprimanded him. How could she, Qi Yue, not understand?
Jin Se was pulled away by Qi Zhen. He could not hear clearly, but he could vaguely hear what the words meant.
Mrs. Xue really wanted Qi Yue to meet Miss Lin, and from her tone, Jin Se could tell that this lady seemed to be infatuated with him, which was why he had waited so long for Qi Yue to arrive.
"I need to tell you about Ru Chun."
Qi Zhen's voice came out, only then did Jin Se come back to her senses, she immediately nodded her head: "Oh, okay."
After the two of them left the Landscape Pavilion, they naturally slowed down their steps. Qi Zhen then said, "I'm going to marry Ru Chun."
It was only now that Jin Se realised it. So it was because of this reason that Qi Zhen wanted Little Flower to be his personal little girl.
"Who is it? Does Ru Chun know? Did you decide that yourself? "
Jin Se also knew that Ru Chun was a good girl, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions to prevent Ru Chun from getting married and getting wronged.
"Of course not, Ru Chun and that person are childhood sweethearts, Ru Chun's cousin …"
Qi Zhen's expression became slightly gloomy, "Actually, I don't want Ru Chun to leave me either, so she can marry someone in charge of the family. Actually, it's not that bad, she can always stay by my side, but when I saw Ru Chun's cousin come and wait for her, the two of them clearly had feelings and loyalty for each other, and I can't ruin Ru Chun's happiness just for myself."
Jin Se suddenly felt that Qi Zhen was becoming more and more righteous.
"You're right, I want to think of a way for Li Luo too." Jin Se thought that since Li Luo had followed him, she should not be young anymore. She shouldn't be like him always, where he wouldn't even have a place to stay afterwards.
"Then you have to ask Li Luo if he's willing." Qi Zhen covered his mouth and laughed.
