Chapter 23： Inquiry

Qi Xiuyuan opened the door and came in. He saw the two of them were getting up and eating a plate of dim sum, so he smiled and said, "Don't eat too much, I have already told someone to prepare the meal, be careful that you won't be able to eat dinner for a while."

Qi Haoran threw a snack into his mouth and said, "I can eat a cow now."

Fan Zijin obediently threw away the dim sum and stopped eating.

Qi Xiuyuan took the two brothers to dinner, and after they had eaten and drank all the servants, he sent all the servants back, and asked sternly, "Okay, I didn't ask you last night when I saw that you were tired like dogs, and I haven't been there today. Kong, now you can talk about why you ran away from home?" Qi Xiuyuan looked at his younger brother first and said, "You come first."

Anger flashed across Qi Haoran's face, and he said bitterly: "Brother, that woman wants to kiss you, but she is talking about her own niece. She is a concubine, and she even wants to marry her niece to you as your wife. Do you still want to meet people? Besides, her niece is lazy and has a bad reputation, so I don't want her to be my sister-in-law."

Fan Zijin glanced at him and corrected: "Sister Wu has been straightened."

Qi Haoran was even more angry and snorted coldly, "I don't admit it."

"So you fell out with them because of my marriage?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

Qi Haoran was a little uncomfortable, so Fan Zijin said: "Big cousin, they want to marry the bride while you are away, so that the marriage can be settled, so let Haoran welcome you on your behalf, and Mrs Wu will keep Haoran in the yard. Here, it was I who bribed the servants of your house and brought them out overnight."

Qi Xiuyuan's face was ugly, "She even locked up Haoran, doesn't my father care at all?"

Fan Zijin lowered his head and didn't speak, but Qi Haoran's eyes were red, "He only has the second and third brothers in his eyes, when has he ever had me?"

Qi Xiuyuan grabbed his brother's hand, his eyes flashed coldly, and more of it was helpless.

That was their father, who could not be beaten or scold.

Qi Haoran was very proud, "Now that I've run away, they can't find anyone to replace the eldest brother, eldest brother, you have to brighten your eyes and find me a good sister-in-law in the future."

Qi Xiuyuan's mouth curled slightly, showing a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a good sister-in-law for you."

"I'm afraid they won't let it go." Fan Zijin frowned slightly, "I've always wondered, why are they in such a hurry to marry Xiao Wu to the big cousin?"

Qi Haoran looked at him with contempt, "I don't know. My eldest brother will definitely not marry a girl from the Wu family. They naturally have to settle the marriage while the eldest brother is away."

The marriage that has been fixed can be revoked, but the marriage that has been married and has written a marriage certificate cannot be revoked. Either find the wrong place of the wife and divorce the person, or you can only ask for the other party's consent and divorce, but no matter what it is, Qi Xiuyuan The effects are bad.

Fan Zijin said with a stern face: "I think there is something wrong with the little Wu family, otherwise there is no need to hurry."

Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "That's not important now, Haoran is no longer in Lin'an. She can't ask her two sons to welcome the kiss on my behalf, right?" If she dared to do it, Qi Xiuyuan would dare to claim that his two younger brothers had suffered for him. Now, he doesn't dare to have such a wife, who can tell the truth then?

He is naturally not afraid of being a big man, but I don't know if the Wu family has the courage.

Marriage is indeed the order of the parents and the matchmaker's word, but it doesn't mean that he can't do anything.

Qi Xiuyuan looked at Fan Zijin, "Then why did you run out?"

Fan Zijin moved his **** uncomfortably and said, "I came up with Haoran."

Qi Haoran shouted in dissatisfaction, "That's not it, Uncle Biao gave Fan Zixiao the grace that originally belonged to Zijin, Aunt Biao was so angry that he raised his sword to cut Uncle Biao, and the two got into trouble, and Zijin felt boring. , and ran out with me."

Fan Zijin's mother Xia Tong and Qi Haoran's mother Zhu Wan are cousins ​​and grew up together, so they have a close relationship. After Zhu Wan died, the two aunts of the Zhu family were not in Lin'an, and Qi Feng did not love either son. After all, Qi Haoran, who is only one year old, and Qi Xiuyuan, who is seven years old, are thanks to Xia Tong's care, so the brothers are very close to Xia Tong.

And Fan Zijin was two months older than Qi Haoran, and the two little guys got together when they could crawl, and they were more affectionate than brothers.

In Qi Haoran's heart, in addition to the eldest brother Qi Xiuyuan, the second is Fan Zijin.

Qi Xiuyuan glared at Fan Zijin and said, "I will write a letter to my cousin. I think you can't read in Lin'an, so why don't you stay here first, and I'll invite a gentleman back for you."

Fan Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, he was really overwhelmed by the atmosphere at home, so when Qi Haoran proposed "escape", he agreed without thinking.

"You guys have even prepared Lu Yin, so you can't help but prepare money, right? How did you get so embarrassed? You even called an Orion girl to rescue him?"

Fan Zijin blushed a little, and said with guilt: "We brought money, but there were some accidents on the way..."

Fan Zijin is only twelve years old no matter how smart he is, and he has never travelled far. He and Qi Haoran are accompanied by servants when they go in and out.

Fan Zijin was vigilant, but he had no experience in being vigilant, so they escaped in fancy clothes, and they were scammed for half the money just to buy a horse. In addition, the latter two also encountered robbers and cheated money. Yes, they were motivated by temporary wealth. In short, it was a two-month trip from Lin'an to Linzhou, and the two of them could be described as a near-death experience.

When they met Mu Yangling, they were already at their limit. At that time, they were chased by the head of a manor and ran into the woods. They lost their way at first sight, and they were starved for two days, so they almost moved. The strength is gone.

That's why Mu Yangling's help is so precious.

Not only gave them food, but also showed them the way. Among the people they met along the way, he was a good person.

However, Fan Zijin was deceived a lot, and his suspicions became worse. Although Mu Yangling saved them, he still suspected that she had ulterior motives, so he resisted Qi Haoran and approached her.

Qi Xiuyuan was of course more careful. After all, Mu Shi had a face different from that of the Han people, but there were quite a few mixed-race Hu and Han people in the army, but in order to be careful, he still sent someone to investigate the Mu family and their daughter.

At this time, the Mu family's father and daughter, who had no idea that they would be investigated, were rushing home.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but Mu Yangling saw the lights of the village and said happily: "Dad, we are home!"

Mu Shi smiled and said, "You are walking fast, run back to see if your mother is at home."

Mu Yangling responded, and Sayazi ran towards the house.

As soon as he got to the entrance of the village, he saw two torches, and the faces of his mother and brother burst into his eyes. Mu Yangling ran faster, ran to his mother in a flash, and shouted, "Mother, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm not worried about your father and daughter. I'm drooling all over the place. Your mother is stunned that she doesn't want to go back, so she has to stand here and wait."

Mu Yangling saw his cousin Liu Zhao standing beside him, Mu Yangling smiled and bowed, "Thank you my cousin for being with my mother today."
