After the banquet was over, the two people left Jinxiu Garden.
On the way back, she followed him.
He was as taciturn as ever, speechless all the way.
When she was about to reach Qingyouyuan, she couldn't help but call out to him.
"Why did you tell Mr. Si that what happened five years ago was your fault, and that Chen Yu and Chen Xi were our children?"
He stopped and did not look back.
"Is it possible that you want me to tell you the truth?"
His tone was cold and his words made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The words "tell the truth" seemed to tell her that, like everyone else, he believed in his heart that she was of bad character.
"You already know this. If you mind, why do you want to marry me?"
She didn't notice that there was a little loss in her eyes when she said this.
He turned around and looked at her.
"Who says I mind?"
One sentence left her speechless.
Before letting them collect the certificate, he must have investigated her identity and her past.
But he... doesn't mind?
Seeing that she didn't speak, he answered another question from her.
"It saved me a lot of trouble by telling grandpa this way. Those two children were adopted by me. I don't want grandpa to investigate their mother in the future, so I might as well let you do it instead."
To save trouble, this reason is a bit far-fetched.
Knowing that her past would affect his reputation, his marriage partner and the mother of his child had better choices.
So, why would he choose her?
To her, this is a mystery.
But the matter was already at this point, and there was no point in asking her any more questions.
"No matter what it is for, I should say thank you. If you hadn't saved me just now, I might have been embarrassed."
At the dinner table, her unbearable private affairs were exposed in front of everyone in the Si family. Even if she was upright and not afraid of the shadows, she could not escape the strange looks of others.
She had experienced this feeling of helplessness five years ago.
The difference from five years ago was that this time someone blocked it for her, and it was a man who had nothing to do with her.
At that moment, her heart was slightly touched.
Noticing the dark look in her eyes, he felt a dull feeling in his heart.
"You are my wife now, and I have the responsibility to protect your reputation."
Her pupils narrowed and she stared closely at the cold-faced man in front of her, her heart beating faster.
Damn it, she was inexplicably moved by this guy.
Although she knew in her heart that he was also trying to protect his reputation.
Not knowing how to answer the question, he took out a note and handed it to her.
"Your mother's attending doctor has been found. Wu Xie has arranged her to stay in a hotel. This is the address."
"found it?"
While she was surprised, she was even more amazed by his power.
She had been back for so many days and tried every means to find her mother's doctor, but all ended in failure.
Unexpectedly, he brought the person back in just two days.
She unfolded the note, read the address on it, and solemnly thanked him.
"Thank you, Mr. Si!"
With these words behind her, she strode towards the door.
He looked at her brisk pace and felt a little happy.
Wu Xie stood not far away, watching Su Qian leave, and then came to Si Mobai's side.
"Master, there is already news about Qingxiancao that you asked me to investigate before."
"Where are the herbs?"
Wu Xie looked in the direction of Jinxiu Garden.
"In the entire country A, only my wife's family has this kind of herbal medicine."
Si Mobai looked towards Jinxiu Garden.
After staring at Jinxiu Garden for a while, he spoke.
"Send someone to Jiang's house immediately to get it."
"yes!"
…
After Su Qian and Si Mobai left Jinxiu Garden, Mr. Si called Si Jianguo to the room alone.
"Is this a good thing you did?"
The old man threw the old newspaper that had appeared in the restaurant on him.
Such a long-standing newspaper appeared so coincidentally in the restaurant and happened to be at his seat. No matter how confused he was, he knew that someone had done it deliberately.
Si Jianguo glanced at the newspaper and shouted at the old man that he was wronged.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How can I do this?"
The old man said impatiently: "I'm old and I'm not blind yet. You don't like Mo Bai very much. Just now in the restaurant, you kept saying some weird words. You think I don't know. You want Mo Bai to marry someone."
The wife who brings shame to the Si family!"
"Oh, Dad, you have wronged me. I really didn't do this. How could I knowingly know that Qian Qian came to your house for dinner today and deliberately put this newspaper to spite you?"
Mr. Si didn't listen to his explanation at all.
Because he usually idles around and likes to say some unflattering remarks, secretly and secretly he hopes that something will happen to Si Mobai.
Therefore, the old man's first suspicion was him.
"Jianguo, I don't care whether you admit it or not. Now let me put it here. You and Jianping are both my biological sons, and Luo Qi and Mo Bai are also my biological grandchildren. You should pay more attention to
Don’t always make crooked ideas at work!”
Si Jianguo was scolded, his face full of displeasure.
But the old man was still in charge of the family, so he could only lower his head and reply: "I know, Dad."
The old man shook his head, with a look of hatred on his face.
Little did they know that while the two were talking, there was a man standing at the door.
When she heard the old man scolding Si Jianguo, the corner of her mouth curled up a little, and then she turned and left.
…
the other side.
Su Qian followed the address to a hotel.
At the door of the room, Wu Xie was afraid that Zhao Ming would escape, so he sent two bodyguards to guard it.
When Su Qian pushed the door open and entered, Zhao Ming, who had fallen asleep, heard the noise and immediately sat up from the bed.
Su Qian turned on the light and looked at Zhao Ming on the bed.
After not seeing each other for several years, he was visibly fat, but she could still recognize him at a glance as her mother's doctor.
"Dr. Zhao, do you still remember me?"
Zhao Ming looked at her, immediately stood up, put on his coat, and took several steps back.
"Who are you? Did you ask someone to bring me here? Let me leave quickly, otherwise I will sue you for illegal imprisonment!"
Su Qian saw his guilty look and directly reported his name.
"My name is Su Qian, and my mother's name is Tao Rupei. You used to be her attending doctor. Do you remember that?"
"Tao Rupei?"
Zhao Ming had countless patients, but Tao Rupei was once a celebrity in the imperial capital, so he was deeply impressed.
But at this time, he did not admit it.
"I have treated so many patients, how can I remember the names of the patients clearly? If you have any questions for me, just tell me!"
Su Qian took out her phone and zoomed in on her mother's photo.
"Internationally famous perfumer, Tao Rupei, do you remember it?"
When Zhao Ming saw the woman in the picture, his pupils dilated, and then he said leisurely: "It seems... I have an impression. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Su Qian put away her phone.
"Before my mother passed away, you were the one who informed me that she died in the hospital after resuscitation failed, right?"
Zhao Ming had a strange expression and did not deny it.
"It seems that Dr. Zhao has remembered it. Then I would like to ask Dr. Zhao, my mother woke up before she died. Why didn't you inform me?"
