Chapter 1003 Thirty Years of War (1/2)
"Mom, what do you think of the smell on me? Is it choking?"
Qi Yutong said, and moved closer to Qin Minyan, and the faint scent of hibiscus flowers on her body penetrated into Qin Minyan's nose.
Qin Minyan was choked by the pungent smell just now, and her nose was sensitive at that time. However, when Qi Yutong came closer, the familiar fragrance permeating her body stimulated Qin Minyan and started sneezing again.
"A'shee... stay away from me...A'shee, A'shee..."
Qin Minyan was choked so much that she couldn't bear it, and she repeatedly moved her hands towards Qi Yutong, asking her to stay away from her. Qi Yutong was a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything more, so she sat aside obediently and distanced herself from Qin Minyan.
"Mom, you can't do this. How delicious does it smell? Are you allergic to other things? How about I ask a doctor to come over and take a look?"
After Qi Yutong sat far away, the smell of her body became looming. Although it still choked her nose a little, it was not as choking as before that made people sneeze and couldn't stop. Qin Minyan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. , she just cried out after struggling for a while.
After cleaning up, Qin Minyan put down her handkerchief and looked at Qi Yutong: "Tongtong, where did you get this hibiscus ointment? It's better not to use it. The smell is too unpleasant. If you meet a woman who looks like a mother, With such a sensitive nose, wouldn’t it be a big joke if you go in front of others?”
Qi Yutong pursed her lips and said somewhat unhappily: "Mom, this may not be because of the hibiscus cream. It may be because the weather has changed too much recently. The smell is very good," Xinrui said. It smells good, Mr. Chen said, this is a new product from Ranxiang Pavilion, and you can’t even buy it with money..."
However, before Qi Yutong finished speaking, Qin Minyan had already interrupted her: "Wait a minute, what did you say? Where did you buy this thing?"
Did she hear wrongly?
Qi Yutong said blankly: "The one bought by Ranxiang Pavilion is the one from the Chen family..."
Before she finished speaking, Qin Minyan's expression changed. She raised her eyebrows, slammed the table, and shouted loudly: "Tongtong, have you forgotten everything I told you? Who asked you to associate with the Chen family? of?"
Because she was too angry, Qin Minyan's tone was a bit harsh. Qi Yutong was startled by her sudden attack, and she froze there. She looked at Qin Minyan with panic on her face, as if she didn't understand what she had done wrong. What made Qin Minyan furious at her.
"Mom, I, what did I do wrong?"
Qi Yutong's appearance is outstanding, and it is pleasing to look at her. Even if she is showing such an ignorant and confused look, her beauty cannot be concealed.
Qin Minyan has always known that her daughter is a rare beauty in the world, but she also knows that it may not be a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. Even if the Qi family is powerful, if she doesn't have some motives and means, for the sake of If a man wants to live or die, there is nothing anyone else can do.
You must know that there are so many beauties like Qi Yutong that people will try their best to get her. If she is really seduced away because of some small favors, then her mother's heart will be broken.
So ever since Qi Yutong became sensible, Qin Minyan has been teaching her, consciously or unconsciously, about matters between men and women.
But I don’t know if it’s because all her talents are focused on her beauty. This child seems a bit dull. To put it nicely, she is innocent, and to put it worst, she is a bit stupid and stupid. She is in trouble in many things. It is said that she can forget everything on her own, all her emotions are displayed on her face, everything goes straight, and she can't tell when people are trying to trick her.
Qin Minyan was worried about this daughter. She mentioned many things to her, and would say a few words from time to time. She said she remembered it every time, but turned away as if she hadn't heard, and completely forgot.
Some time ago, Qi Heng had an unpleasant quarrel with the three brothers of the Chen family, and beat the three brothers severely. The two families were in a quarrel. It was obviously Qi Heng who beat them up, but later it was the head of the Chen family who took the lead. The three brothers came to apologize.
After all, Qin Minyan was born in a famous family, so when she realized something was wrong, she kept an eye on it and sent someone to find out what was going on.
The truth of the matter was soon found out. In fact, it was not a big deal. It was that a girl Qi Heng liked was abducted by the men of the three brothers of the Chen family. She entered a brothel on the Qinhuai River and waited until he picked her up. When the news arrived, the girl had already been raped.
The girl Qi Heng liked also had a fierce personality. Xu knew that she had lost her innocence and was not worthy of Qi Heng, so she threw herself into the river in front of him.
Qi Heng also treated the girl with some sincerity. Her death stimulated Qi Heng, and he immediately rushed to the flower building where the three brothers of the Chen family were and beat them up.
It should be said that Qi Heng is worthy of being the son of Marshal Qi. Even with one against three, he still managed to beat the three brothers until they cried for their mothers. If the guards following the three of them had not arrived in time, they would have been killed by Qi. It's a good idea to type it out for Heng.
The three brothers of the Chen family have never concealed what they did. They forced girls into prostitution, trafficked people, opened opium dens, casinos, and brothels. There was no such thing as these low-class things that they did not do. The three brothers, except for the eldest brother Chen Tai'an, were a bit like each other. It seems that the other two brothers are completely evil. Everyone in Jinling City who has some wealth will look down on those two brothers.
As for Young Master Chen Chen Tai'an, although he looks better than his two bastard brothers, Qin Minyan still doesn't have a good impression of him.
Those three brothers and one mother, Chen Lao Er and Chen Lao San, are free-spirited and ruthless leaders. How can Chen Tai'an be a good guy if he hangs out with them?
After knowing what the Chen brothers were doing behind the scenes, Qin Minyan repeatedly told Qi Yutong to stay away from the three Chen brothers and not to have any contact with them.
After all, she has outstanding looks. For men, women like her are very coveted. Even if Qi Yuanhao is standing behind her, some men will not be able to control themselves and take desperate risks.
Qi Yutong has done quite well in the past, but I have never heard of her having any interactions with the Chen family. Why is she involved with Chen Tai'an this time?
Chen Tai'an has a deep mind, which is somewhat different from his two younger brothers. The two of them can be fierce and ruthless, but they lack some intelligence. However, Chen Tai'an has a very twisted mind, and he has a close relationship with Qi. They have a close relationship with each other. If he really has a crush on Qi Yutong, this girl might be in some danger.
"How many times have I told you before? I have repeatedly told you to pay attention to the three brothers of the Chen family and not to have anything to do with them. What about you? Not only did you not listen, but you also went to other people's shops to buy things. Moreover, Chen Taian strongly recommends you to buy these things. You, do you have to make me angry to death? "
Qin Minyan was furious as she spoke. Seeing that Qi Yutong still looked confused, her heart was so blocked that she really wanted to pry open her head to see what she was thinking.
Qi Yutong was frightened by Qin Minyan's sudden outburst. She defended calmly: "I didn't associate with him intentionally, I just met him by chance while shopping. There are so many rouge and gouache shops in Jinling City, and I didn't expect that." Ranxiang Pavilion belongs to him, and it was a coincidence that I met him there. I just saw the unique appearance and delicious smell of this hibiscus paste, so I wanted to buy it..."
As she spoke, Qi Yutong's voice became lower and lower. She lowered her head uneasily, not daring to look into Qin Minyan's eyes. She seemed to have done something wrong...
However, she really doesn't remember those things between her family and the Chen family. After all, for her now, it was all a long, long time ago. How can she remember those details?
Qin Minyan was going to be pissed to death by Qi Yutong. This girl had a very good attitude when she admitted her mistakes, and she admitted her mistakes very simply, but she would still make mistakes next time, but facing her beautiful face that was dissatisfied with grievances, she I can't bear to punish her.
She was the daughter she doted on, what else could she do? Besides continuing to pamper him, what else could she do?
Thinking of this, Qin Minyan nodded Qi Yutong's forehead angrily, and said angrily: "You, you, let me tell you what you are good at? What is in your head? I told you So many sentences, why don’t you know anything?”
Qi Yutong: "..."
She really forgot these things, she didn't mean to.
Qi Yutong allowed Qin Minyan to scold her without even daring to say a word. She had indeed done something wrong in this matter, so no matter what Qin Minyan said, she just had to listen.
"I can't control you anymore. When your brother comes later, let your brother take care of you. You are such a squeamish girl because I raised you. You don't know what is going on outside. You are so defenseless. , what should we do in the future?”
Naturally, her parents and brothers can protect her when they are around, and she can be a carefree little princess in the Qi family. But once she gets married, how can she live like this at home?
Not everyone's back house is as clean as the Qi family's, and not everyone respects their wives like Qi Yuanhao, suppressing concubines who dare not have second thoughts.
There are so many lucky men in this world. When they love you, they really love you and want to give you the best of everything. But once they lose interest and can no longer stand up, they will only be filled with bitterness in the days to come.
Sensing that Qin Minyan's mood was not right, Qi Yutong secretly looked up and found that Qin Minyan was in a low mood and didn't know what she was thinking. She immediately panicked and hurriedly opened her arms to hug Qin Minyan.
"Mom, it was my fault. I will be obedient in the future. Don't be angry or sad. I will be obedient, I promise."
At the same time, Qi Yutong felt more and more that he should not occupy Miss Qi's position. She seemed to have nothing but a face. Compared with the real Miss Qi, she was really inferior.
Maybe after Qi Yufeng comes back, Qin Minyan won't worry about her like she does now.
At this moment, Qi Yutong secretly made up her mind. She originally planned to wait for Qi Wang to find Qi Yufeng before leaving the Qi family, but now she doesn't think so. She should return to her place as soon as possible. Well, if her mother and brother still can't bear to let her leave this time like they did in the previous life, then she will be an obedient child and follow their arrangements to get married. If they can't tolerate her, then she will go there on her own. Living alone outside.
As for her trouble-making face, the worst she can do is scratch it. Beauty is a burden to her. When her family background is good, it is the icing on the cake. When her family background is not good and she has no ability to protect herself, it is a life-threatening talisman.
At this moment, a tall figure strode in from outside, and what he held in his hand was the hibiscus ointment that Qi Yutong had asked his maid to take out.
Qi Juan's aura was amazing. As soon as he came in, the atmosphere in the room changed immediately. Qin Minyan calmed down her emotions and looked up at Qi Juan. When she found that his mood was wrong, Qin Minyan was slightly stunned and spoke with concern. Asked: "Awan, what happened? Why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Qi Yutong didn't know why, but she was a little afraid of Qi Wang's existence. When she saw him coming in, Qi Yutong shrank, but she still called her brother obediently.
Qi Wang didn't say anything more, he just showed what he was holding. The beautiful hibiscus ointment bottle lay quietly in the palm of his hand. The pink color formed a sharp contrast with his white and slender fingers.
"Whose is this?"
Realizing that Qi Wang's tone was not right, Qin Minyan blinked her eyes and subconsciously wanted to protect Qi Yutong. Since Qi Wang became an adult, their mother and son have spent less time together and separated more. In fact, the relationship between mother and son is not as close as it used to be, and Qin Minyan also found that Qi Wang's attitude toward Qi Yutong seemed a little stranger after returning this time than before. A mother naturally hopes that her children will have a close relationship, so she said: "What's going on? Could it be a moisturizer?" Is there any problem?"
Naturally, Qin Minyan's little thoughts couldn't be hidden from Qi Huan. He didn't say anything more, but just cast his eyes on Qi Yutong, who was sitting blankly aside. There was a faint scent of hibiscus flowers wafting over her body. What was covered up by this floral fragrance was The stench of decay is impossible to ignore.
Qi Yutong, who was being stared at by Qi Wan, felt restless. She always felt that everything was wrong with her. The two hands she placed on her legs began to stir unconsciously, making her whole body look more and more uneasy.
"Tongtong, where did you come from?"
Qi Yutong was startled and immediately answered: "I bought it from Ranxiang Pavilion. I bought the new product before it was sold to the outside world..."
As she spoke, Qi Yutong's voice gradually weakened, and finally became silent. She looked at Qi Wan in a panic. Although she didn't know what happened, she felt that she had made a big mistake. 's fault.
Qi Wang looked at Qi Yutong and said slowly: "This is not a good thing. Go take a bath and wash away all these smells."
Not a good thing? Qi Yutong thought of the refreshing smell and how energetic he became after smelling it. He said cautiously: "But I think this fragrance is very good. I like it very much..."
My brother is a grown man, how do you know about girls’ rouge and gouache? The hibiscus ointment felt refreshing and refreshing after being applied, and the smell was also very pleasant. She didn't want to wash it off at all.
Qi Wang naturally noticed the resistance on Qi Yutong's face, and it was obvious that she liked the taste, but even if she liked it, she couldn't use it.
Qi Wang's eyes became colder, and his tone became much sterner than before: "This is poisonous. If you don't want to be addicted and become emaciated like a walking skeleton in the future, then you can wash it for me as soon as possible. Well, if you insist on using it, then it’s up to you, you’re really hopeless if you’re so stupid.”
How could Qi Yutong have imagined that Qi Wan would scold her in such a harsh tone? Her face immediately turned red, tears welling up in her eyes. If she hadn't held it back, she would have cried.
Qin Minyan felt a little distressed. She was about to say something, but was stopped by Qi Wan: "Mother, don't say anything. Tongtong is not young anymore. She is a seventeen-year-old girl, but she is still treated like a child." I don’t know the seriousness, we can protect her for a while, but we can’t protect her for the rest of her life, let alone if she can’t listen to what we say, then there is no need to continue to protect her.”
Qi Wang was very patient with Qi Yutong before. After all, this girl is not bad at heart, although she is a little too naive, which makes her act a little confused. If he can help her, he doesn't mind helping her.
But when he discovered that Qi Yutong had brought back something laced with poison, Qi Wang could no longer tolerate it. There was nothing wrong with being naive, and there was no harm in being a little confused, but if the people close to him couldn't listen to what they said, and refused to listen to the other person's words, , but insist on going further and further down the wrong path, then there is no need to continue to save such people.
If innocence and kindness go too far, it becomes evil, and because they can only hurt those closest to them, such evil is even more chilling than those who are truly evil.
Probably because Qi Juan's attitude was too harsh, Qi Yutong was frightened. After hearing his conversation with Qin Minyan, Qi Yutong knew that what she had done this time had violated Qi Juan's bottom line. She suddenly remembered what she had done in her previous life. When Qi Wang took the medicine, his expression when he woke up and looked at her was so similar to now?
There was no disappointment, no pain, just eyes full of indifference, as if looking at an unrelated stranger.
Qi Yutong felt her heart suddenly hurt. She felt like she couldn't breathe. Her heart was beating faster. She felt like her ears were starting to buzz.
She didn't know how she got back to her small courtyard, but when she was lying in the big bathtub, Qi Yutong couldn't hold it back after all, covering her face and crying silently.
She seems to be a really stupid person. Even if she is reborn, even if she has a chance to start over, she is still terribly stupid.
