Xu Qirong didn't expect Yuan Xining to be so heartless. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Do you still need me to speak so clearly?" Yuan Xining stared at Xu Qirong.
"I... I just wanted to vent my anger to my junior sister..." Xu Qirong finally panicked when he saw that Yuan Xinning's expression was serious and it didn't look like he was just saying angry words casually.
When Ji Hanwei saw Yuan Xinning turning to look at her, her face turned pale with fright. She quickly waved her hand and said clearly: "Master, I really didn't know about this before. You brought the letter back to me, so it was earlier than you."
I knew it for a little while."
Yuan Xining glared at her, and finally returned her gaze to Xu Qirong. She sighed and said, "You are brothers and sisters from the same school for so many years. In order to avoid embarrassment when we meet, there are some things I didn't want to say clearly.
"Although this child Hanwei has many shortcomings, she is not the kind of person who distorts the facts, so you know very well that Mrs. Tong did not bully her, she is just inferior in skills."
After Ji Hanwei heard this, her eyes flashed, showing a little shame, and she lowered her head silently.
Xu Qirong glanced at her worriedly.
Yuan Xining became even more angry when she saw this. She slapped the table and said, "It's just such a trivial matter, but is it worth going to war? Are you going to save her even if you risk someone else's life?"
Xu Qirong hurriedly defended herself: "Hanwei has always had a strong personality. Dr. Jiang Tong and Jiang's fame at a young age put a lot of pressure on her, and her personality even changed a lot.
"Now that Dr. Jiang is gone, someone has appeared claiming to be her apprentice. Do I have to watch Han Wei be affected again?"
Xu Qirong felt that he had found a good reason. After saying this, he immediately raised his eyes to see Yuan Xining's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xining looked at her with a look of compassion, and slowly said: "There are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Don't you have to find trouble for everyone who is more capable than her?
"Qirong, Hanwei is just your junior sister, who would do this for a junior sister?
"You two are not children anymore. There are some things that once you cross the line, you can never go back."
After hearing this, Xu Qirong and Ji Hanwei immediately felt cold all over, and their hearts almost stopped beating.
Xu Qirong didn't know when he fell in love with his junior sister, but the two of them were destined to miss each other from the very beginning.
When Ji Hanwei became a disciple of Yuan Xinning, Xu Qirong already had a wife and children.
So in the subsequent interactions, no matter what kind of thoughts he had, he could only keep everything firmly in his heart and did not dare to reveal any of it.
But if you really like someone, you can't hide it.
Ji Hanwei herself has a delicate and sensitive temperament.
The two senior brothers and sisters have been together for a long time, and she cannot be said to be completely unaware of Xu Qirong's thoughts.
So over the years, the two of them had a tacit understanding, but they both had their own families and kept silent about it.
But neither of them expected that Yuan Xining had noticed everything a long time ago and had not mentioned a word about it for so many years.
"Hanwei has been able to establish a foothold in Changsha Mansion so quickly. Do you dare to say that it wasn't you who was behind the scenes?
"At least 80% of the ups and downs she has encountered over the years were resolved by you.
"I've been pretending to be deaf and dumb, and I just don't know, because you two know it in your heart, and you have never crossed the bottom line between senior brothers and sisters."
Xu Qirong and Ji Hanwei looked at each other and lowered their heads.
"But you really crossed the line this time." Yuan Xining had no intention of letting them go. Since he started talking, he had to say it clearly, "Your wife died of illness last year, but Hanwei's husband is still here."
You are still alive and well!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Xining suddenly turned to look at Xu Qirong, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.
Xu Qirong was so annoyed by her that she said: "Master, do you doubt me? I..."
"I have been studying medicine with you since I was a teenager, and it has been so many years now. Don't you even have this most basic trust in me?"
"I used to trust you a lot, and I even believed that you could properly handle your thoughts that you shouldn't have.
"But now...I think I may have made a mistake."
Xu Qirong said angrily: "Master, even if I did something wrong this time, I will do it in the open and I will never do anything secretly to take people's lives."
"I hope so." Yuan Xining took another deep look at Xu Qirong and said, "You can take care of yourself."
The matter of leaving the school has been temporarily put on hold, but Ge Fu's physical condition is really not optimistic.
Regardless of Ji Hanwei's objections, Yuan Xining went to see Mrs. Tong in person.
Unexpectedly, the attempt was in vain, and Mrs. Tong was not in Yongzhou Mansion at all.
However, being able to meet Zhang Muqiu can already prove from the side that Mrs. Tong's declared identity as a descendant of the Jiang family was not false.
Yuan Xining was well aware of Zhang Muqiu's loyalty to Jiang Tong. If Mrs. Tong was a liar, Zhang Muqiu would definitely be the first to expose her. There was no possibility of being deceived by her or colluding with her.
So, being helpless about Ge Fu's condition, Yuan Xining could only hope that Mrs. Tong would come back as soon as possible.
While Yuan Xining was eagerly waiting for Mrs. Tong, the homes of officials in Yongzhou Prefecture were all busy preparing for Xu's funeral the day after tomorrow.
The funeral route has been decided early and has been notified to each family.
What each family has to do is to send people to set up a memorial tent and go to the road to offer sacrifices on the day of Xu's funeral.
Officials with the status of Tongjian Cheng Haodong not only have to prepare for roadside sacrifices, but also take their whole family to follow the funeral procession of the Shen family all the way to Dongquan Temple outside the city, waiting for the rituals to be completed and the coffin to be returned to Taiyuan.
the way back.
While checking the clothes that the whole family would wear on the day of the funeral, Mrs. Cheng said: "I happened to be going to Dongquan Temple this time, and I wanted to bring that girl Rong Qian back.
"What does it look like for a young girl to live in a temple instead of having a nice home?
"If she was so dedicated to Buddha, why didn't she just shave her head and become a sister-in-law? Isn't it just to get angry with me?
"If I don't deal with her, I really think of myself as the daughter of the Song family!"
Cheng Haodong was impatient and changed his position to continue reading the book in his hand.
Mrs. Cheng continued to chatter: "That girl is so excited that she wishes she could climb a sycamore branch.
"She also didn't want to think about how, if she was the real phoenix, her mother would send her from the capital to Huguang.
"If you ask me, she and Erlang are a perfect match regardless of their age, appearance, and every aspect!
"When you get married, you kiss and kiss each other. After marriage, if there is a quarrel between the couple, or a conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can I, as an aunt, still turn to her?
"I really thought that marrying into a rich family would be a good thing, but my parents' family is far away at that time, and they can treat you as they want..."
Cheng Haodong finally couldn't stand listening any more and threw the book in his hand on the table and said, "Are you still finished? Ever since I entered the room, your mouth has never been idle!"
"Okay, okay, why don't I stop talking!" Mrs. Cheng turned her back and muttered in a low voice, "If that damn girl still doesn't obey her this time, I won't care about her anymore and will just send her back to the capital, and she can do whatever she wants.
