Meng Ruhu went to Sitang after eating, while Qi Lian stayed in the room to read.Not long after watching, the guard told him that he was coming late, and he still had a lot of gifts in his hand.

Qi Lian put down the book in surprise, thought for a while and said to the guard, "Let him in."

"Yes, ma'am." Huang Mo paused for a moment, and went out to please continue.

"It's really a coincidence that I came, Ruhu is not here." Chi Xu put down the gift as soon as he entered the door, and found a familiar seat to sit down, with surprise in his smile.

Qi Lian could see that the delay in saying this was just out of politeness, how could this person not know about Meng Ruhu's daily schedule, and he was just telling him on purpose.

As soon as he saw Chi Xu, Qi Lian remembered the letter.Compared with Chi Xu, he still had too little experience, so he was the first to lose his composure, and asked in a low voice, "You wrote that letter, I asked someone to confirm the handwriting." Afraid that Chi Xu would not admit it, Qi Lian added One sentence, and it is very certain.

Unexpectedly, Chi Xu admitted very readily, without any annoyance at being caught, and still had such a calm appearance, admitting openly, "I just want to understand for Ruhu, why Madam didn't Dare to recognize your relatives?"

Qi Lian was questioned all of a sudden, he was supposed to question the other party, but now he was so questioned that he was speechless.In an instant, he changed from being justified to being unreasonable, and he was speechless for a while, and the simple few words made him panic.

"I... this matter has nothing to do with you." Qi Lian tried hard to appear calm, but he was very unconfident in what he said.

Seeing Qi Lian's guilty look, Chi Xu sneered disdainfully.Others said that Qi Lian had a gentle temperament and a sweet heart, and all kinds of praise words kept praising her.In his opinion, there is no difference between Qi Lian and Qi Yu, they both hate the poor and love the rich, in order to get Meng Ruhu, they would even deny their relatives, but Meng Ruhu has not yet seen through her greedy and vain nature.

"Since it was you who wrote to ask me out, why didn't you go to the appointment?" After being silent for a while, Qi Lian finally remembered what he wanted to say.Chi Xu's behavior is sneaky, if he is really a daughter, then telling Meng Ruhu to deal with it is the best way, so as not to let people gossip.But he is a man, in order to keep this secret, he can only investigate secretly by himself.

Qi Lian felt that his question was very imposing, but in Chi Xu's eyes it was just a bluff, and there was no guilt on Chi Xu's face for doing something wrong, and he explained calmly, "My father was injured, I have to be filial, naturally Can't come to the appointment."

Chi continued to speak as a matter of course, Qi Lian couldn't find anything to refute again.In terms of experience, he is still too little to understand the right and wrong reasons contained in it.Chi Xu wrote the letter but did not dare to sign it, let alone use his usual handwriting, which was enough to show that he was targeting him secretly.

And Chi Xu was sure that Qi Lian did not dare to publicize this matter, so he was confident.He also underestimated Qi Lian, he didn't expect Qi Lian to suspect him, and even found evidence.But he is not afraid of the delay, the only thing he regrets is that Qi Lian's reputation was not discredited this time.

The hour he agreed on was not random, but in line with certain things that were bound to happen.According to his idea, Li You met Qi Lian in the forest. Li You has always behaved badly, and he will definitely treat Qi Lian frivolously when he is drunk. No matter whether Li Youcheng succeeds or not, Zhang Tu will definitely appear at this time. The drama can be staged.

The facts were indeed as he thought, but he underestimated Meng Ruhu's love for Qi Lian.After this incident happened, instead of blaming Qi Lian, Meng Ruhu comforted him everywhere.Seeing Meng Ruhu attaching great importance to Qi Lian, Chi Xu became more and more jealous. Even Aunt Fang, who had always been tolerant of sand, didn't pursue Qi Lian's innocence. He really made him hate him so much.

Seeing Chi Xu's expression of having a clear conscience for Meng Ruhu's sake, Qi Lian couldn't help but feel guilty, and didn't have the momentum to question him at first, so he tried his best to calmly ask, "Why is Mr. Chi here this time?" He didn't understand the dangers of the human heart, and didn't connect Li You's matter with Chi Xu.

"My father asked me to celebrate my wife's recovery." Chi continued, with a sneer in his eyes.

Hearing the eccentric tone of voice, Qi Lian disliked Chi Xu more and more. He could feel Chi Xu's dissatisfaction and hostility towards him, and he also felt the same towards Chi Xu.

Now that the matter has been clarified, Chi Xu doesn't know the truth, and there is no threat to him, Qi Lian doesn't want to contact Chi Xu anymore, and politely orders him to leave, "I'm a little tired. If Mr. Chi is fine, please leave. Help me." Thank you Uncle Chi for your kindness."

"Madam, feel free, I'm here today to drink with Ruhu." Chi Xu continued to sit still, ignoring Qi Lian's words.

Qi Lian also couldn't do anything to drive people away forcibly, not to mention that he and Chi Xu had to maintain an open air and not let Meng Ruhu be caught in the middle.If there is a quarrel with my husband's brother, it will also benefit his image if it is spread, and it will only make Aunt Fang dissatisfied with him.

After figuring out the reason, Qi Lian ignored Chi Xu and went into the room to read a book.Holding a book but can't read a word, unconsciously pay attention to the movement outside.Half an hour passed, and Chi Xu was still sitting, calm and unhurried.

On the contrary, Qi Lian was restless in various moods. As the host, he should not leave the guests alone. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to pour a cup of tea for Chi Xu.Qi Lian put down the book, took the tea and put it on the table, not wanting to say more polite words.

Chi Xu glanced at the tea, not intending to drink it at all.

When Meng Ruhu came back, he saw the two of them sitting facing each other. The atmosphere was strange, not as intimate as he thought, and he immediately felt relieved.He heard the guard say that he was coming late, so he came back early on purpose. Fortunately, the two of them were sitting properly with a certain distance between them, which made him feel much more comfortable.

"You kid didn't take care of Uncle Chi, why did you come up the mountain again?" Meng Ruhu walked to Qi Lian and sat down, and said to Chi Xu with a smile.

Chi Xu also laughed, glanced at Qi Lian without a trace and said, "It's too boring to stay at the bottom of the mountain, so I came to find you for a drink."

After listening to Chi Xu's words, Meng Ruhu was a little relieved, "There are too many things these days, I'll have a drink with you when I'm done." If you want to drink, you can't drink it in his room, but Qi Lian is here.He had to guard against the two of them all the time, even under his nose, he had to separate.

"You are such a busy person. Before we got married, you were the one who dragged me to drink. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, I forget my brother." Chi Xu laughed jokingly, hiding his dissatisfaction.

Meng He also laughed, acquiescing to this sentence.

Qi Lian watched the two chatting and laughing, and felt completely uncomfortable. He really didn't like Chi continued to get too close to Meng Ruhu. He couldn't get in because of the closeness between the two. The feeling of being excluded made him very uncomfortable. .

It was also time to finish the meal, Qi Lian sat without moving, and did not intend to ask to stay later.Since Qi Lian doesn't speak, Meng Ruhu won't stay, he is just afraid of getting along with them.

Chi Xu saw what Meng Ruhu meant, and his face was a little embarrassed, but he managed to squeeze out a smile, "It's getting late, I'll ask you for a drink another day, and you can't refuse me next time."

"Definitely not." Meng Ruhu laughed loudly, stood up and sent Chi Xu out, and he was finally relieved after seeing Chi Xu leave.

Chi Xu left and did not go down the mountain, but went to his residence on the mountain.When he went back, he passed the side courtyard and saw two people from the torture hall standing at the door.

He also knew these two people, and they were in charge of interrogating weak-looking people in the torture hall.Others may have a soft heart for weak people during interrogation, but the two of them are cruel by nature and will not feel sympathy at all, like puppets without emotions who only know to obey orders completely and will not be soft to anyone.This is exactly the same as their disgusting hall master.

Thinking of An Le, Chi Xu frowned in disgust, refused to approach the two, and asked from a distance, "Who is in here?"

"It's Madam's relatives." One of them replied.

Qi Yu heard the voice in the room, ran out quickly, saw that it was Chi Xu, and immediately greeted him happily, "So it's Mr. Chi, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea."

They would not have been able to climb the mountain if it hadn't been for late guidance.This former lover and benefactor made Qi Yu very happy, and more importantly, maybe Chi Yan could help them again.The people Meng Ruhu sent were more like guards than waiters, and they were not allowed to go out at all.They are also very afraid of these two people, no matter how much they dare to order them around, they can only stay in the house all day, seeing Chi Xu is like seeing a savior.

"So it's Miss Qi." Chi Xu greeted politely, and looked at the two guards and walked in.

The two glanced at each other, but in the end they didn't reach out to stop them.The order they got was to keep the two women from coming in and out at will, and they didn't need to stop others from coming in.What's more, their hall master likes to be late, and for the sake of the hall master's face, they can't stop them.
