Although his relatives are ruthless, Qi Lian can't be unrighteous. He is so kind-hearted that he is a little weak. He would rather suffer losses than harm others.What's more, Master Fan taught him all the morals of a gentleman, and he couldn't do the shameless behavior like his stepmother.

"Don't be too sad. If your father in the sky knows that you have such filial piety, he will be pleased." Aunt Fang looked at Qi Lian sympathetically, and comforted her, and then said to Meng Ruhu, "Since he died of illness, then don't blame heaven. Don't complain, handle your affairs well and don't make more troubles."

"I know, little aunt." Meng Ruhu understood Aunt Fang's worry, so he just said it casually.Except for Qi Lian, he didn't care about the life and death of the rest of the Qi family.

When Mei Hongxiu spoke just now, her eyes were averted, she must not have told the truth, Qi Lian was not deeply involved in the world, only a simple heart would really believe it, anyway, he did not believe what this woman said.Besides, he is not interested in pursuing the matter of a dead person, all he wants is to make Qi Lian feel at ease.

"Thank you, auntie, I'm fine." Qi Lian got up from Meng Ruhu's arms, wiped away his tears and stopped crying.

"Madam is in a bad mood these days, so you stay with me on the mountain. Our Qingping village has complex terrain and many people, so don't run around. If you violate the taboos on the mountain, everything must be done according to the rules on the mountain. No one can do it." There are exceptions." Aunt Fang's expression changed, and she sternly warned the two of them.

"Sister Fang, Yu'er has always been obedient and sensible, don't worry about this, she will definitely not worry you." Mei Hongxiu laughed, and turned her gaze to Qi Lian, "Lian'er, you know your sister best, don't you think so?"

Qi Lian dodged subconsciously, and just when he was about to speak, Meng Ruhu had already spoken for him, "You guys better be honest, don't cause trouble for me, I'm not as easy-talking as my wife, if something happens, I won't be lenient."

"Definitely not..." Mei Hongxiu Nuonuo nodded, unable to laugh anymore.She had heard about the ferocity of the bandits before, but seeing Meng Ruhu's ferocity now, she didn't dare to act presumptuously, for she was really afraid of losing her life.

Having solved the problem of the two women, Meng Ruhu felt much more at ease, and took Qi Lian to see Master Fan after breakfast.In fact, he planned to go in the afternoon. Seeing that Qi Lian was sluggish early in the morning and had no appetite at all, he decided to untie Qi Lian's knots as soon as possible.

Early in the morning, there was a lively and noisy reading sound in the study room. Master Fan was supervising the students' study, when he saw Meng Ruhu and Qi Lian coming, he asked Xie Kai to watch for him, and he went out to meet them.

"Why did Madam come this morning? Even the head of the house followed, what a rare visitor." Master Fan asked curiously with a smile, with a playful look in his eyes.In fact, he already knew the reason why Qi Lian came here, Meng Ruhu sent someone to explain it yesterday, he thought it would be in the afternoon, so he was a little surprised to come here so early in the morning.

"I don't understand something, and I want to ask my master." Qi Lian hesitated to speak, with a sad expression on his face.

Master Fan glanced at Meng Ruhu, looked serious, and continued to pretend to be puzzled and said, "Madam please."

The three of them came to the room where Mrs. Fan had a lunch break. Meng Ruhu was in charge of serving tea and pouring water. As if he was in his own room, he took a piece of biscuit and stuffed it into Qi Lian's hand. abdomen."

Qi Lian had things in his heart and had no appetite.Seeing Meng Ruhu's concern, he didn't want Meng Ruhu to worry too much about him, so he tried his best to finish a piece, "Thank you husband."

"Eat some more." Meng Ruhu continued coaxing Master Fan's desserts, without the slightest sense of being a guest.

Mrs. Fan was very distressed about his desserts, coughed hard, and managed to attract the attention of the two, then smiled in satisfaction, and asked kindly, "Madam, what's your problem?"

"If you are a child, you can't be filial to your parents. Is it unfilial?" Qi Lian put down the dessert and asked earnestly, staring at Master Fan nervously, hoping that Master Fan could save him from guilt and anxiety.

"As a child, you should be filial to your parents." Master Fan said leisurely, seeing the warning in Meng Ruhu's eyes, and then changed the subject, "But paying filial piety to the end does not mean that this person will be filial to his parents. There are many ambitious people in this world. Yes, what they are crying for is not necessarily the person in the coffin, but may also be the money and power left by the dead."

"Money and power? Why don't they cry for the people closest to them, but for the things outside of them." Qi Lian seemed to have the image of Master Fan's words in front of his eyes, and he half understood.

"Because those extraneous things are more important than their lives. In the face of rights and desires, blood kinship and morality are just empty words. Their world is different from ordinary people." Master Fan became excited when he said this, bringing With some helplessness, his future will be buried in the hands of these villains who are greedy for fame and fortune.

Qi Lian has only experienced the coldness of family affection, and has never been in touch with the sinister human heart. The cruel and dark side of the world that Mr. Fan said seemed to open another window for him. Although what he saw was darkness and ugliness, it was also Let him find some comfort from the comparison between the two.

Master Fan saw that Qi Lian's mind moved slightly, so he knew that what he said had an effect, and continued, "Filial piety is not only based on what happens after the death, but more importantly, it is to serve before death. If a child serves his parents with all his heart while they are alive, then After the death of their parents, they are already filial sons. If they were not filial in life, and cry for the coffin after death, it is just an illusion for others to see, how can they be called filial?"

"So that's it, I understand." Qi Lian's mood suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his face.He has always been trapped by foolish filial piety, thinking that the kindness of parental upbringing is greater than heaven and earth, even higher than his life.Now that he was taught by Master Fan, he realized that the etiquette and family affection in the world are not what he thought, and the meaning of filial piety is not that children obey their parents unconditionally.

Before his father was alive, he had been serving his father with all his heart and never slackened in the slightest. Even though he was blinded and belittled, he never had the thought of revenge.Thinking of this, the accumulated depression in Qi Lian's heart was swept away. Although he was still sad for his father's death, he would no longer blame himself for being decadent.

"Thank you for your advice, Master." Qi Lian saluted Master Fan gratefully.

"Madam, if you want to thank you, please thank the head of the family. Fan Mou just said a few words, but Madam can understand it by herself." Master Fan looked at Meng Ruhu with a meaningful smile, and there was a hint in his words, but Qi Lian listened don't know.

"It's all thanks to Mrs. Fan. I'm a rough man who can't even speak." Meng Ruhu secretly gritted his teeth and stared at Mrs. Fan. He couldn't comfort Fan Zhexi for so long. It's really infuriating big.

Qi Lian was about to thank Meng Ruhu, when he turned around and saw Meng Ruhu gritted his teeth and stared like a child struggling, he couldn't help laughing slightly, pulled Meng Ruhu's sleeve and said, "Husband, let's go back."

"Okay, there's still food in the kitchen. Ma'am, you have to eat some, or you'll be hungry later." Meng Ruhu suppressed his vindictiveness, and spoke to Qi Lian gently.

"Yes." Qi Lian replied in a low voice.After being relieved by Master Fan, he no longer felt bored and panicked, and now he also had the desire to eat.

Because of his father's death, Aunt Fang specially asked him to rest for a few days.Qi Lian was grateful for Aunt Fang's kindness in her heart, went to greet Aunt Fang and went back to the house.Just as he picked up the braised pork, Tianji told him that two women were looking for him.

Qi Lian immediately knew that it was his stepmother and sister, but in fact he was not willing to meet his stepmother and sister alone now.In front of them, he could only nod his head weakly, not daring to fight at all.

"Lian'er, your sister and I came to see you." Mei Hongxiu was stopped by the guards outside, and shouted at the top of her voice unhappily.Since Meng Ruhu and Qi Lian went to their place yesterday, other people saw their mother and daughter as if they hadn't seen them, and didn't even say hello, just to show them off, even if she scolded them bloody. ignore.

After delivering a breakfast early this morning, there was no one there, not even a single person to call.Mei Hongxiu was angry and furious, and had no place to vent, so she could only come to Qi Lian.

Hearing his stepmother's voice, Qi Lian panicked, the braised pork seemed to sense his uneasiness, and obediently arched Qi Lian's palm.Qi Lian's heart warmed up, he felt a little relieved, and said to the door, "Let them in."

"Yes, ma'am." The two guards let him go.
