The entire dining process was very quiet, everyone abided by the original table manners, handled things in an orderly manner, and made no unnecessary movements.
The dining table is not big, just enough for six people, and the wooden round turntable rotates slightly from time to time.
The food here is not much, but every dish is very exquisite.
Chi Si raised his hand to serve Mu Qian a bowl of soup. After passing it over, he quickly started peeling the shrimps for her.
Seeing the man's gentle movements of lowering his head, the person opposite put down his cup and said, "It seems that the relationship between Fourth Master and Miss Yun is really good."
Even Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh at the sight of being able to make the famous King Chi Yan bow so low.
In Beizhou, no matter how much a man loves a woman, he will never take care of a woman like this. Men are upright.
You shouldn't stick to petty love. How can you be so humble for a woman?
This Fourth Master Chi is really different from the one in the legend.
"Is it possible that Mr. Helian and your wife don't have a good relationship?" Mu Qian asked back.
Lingsu, who was sitting at the table, subconsciously glanced at the man next to him after hearing this. Indeed, if he wanted to compare with a man like Chi Si.
I'm afraid his care for Mu Qian will easily make many women jealous.
"We are fine too." Lingsu said, his face a little pale.
Mu Qian saw some problems and continued the question they just asked, "When did you two get married?"
In Beizhou, wedding is the most important event in a girl's life. If there is no wedding, they will not choose to have children for a man.
Even though it was a little late, she still wanted to know what Lingsu and Helianshang's wedding would be like.
"We don't need those red tapes, it's enough to be with each other." Lingsu said with a smile.
Looking at her expression, Mu Qian didn't need to ask the rest of the questions, but she already had the answer in her heart.
In the past, when Lingsu was by her side, she had expressed her longing for the future wedding countless times. She was so eager to have a dream wedding.
A wedding that can prove that she is about to get married and become a wife, and will be with her lover forever.
"I hope Mr. Chi can carefully review the information sent by the Wei An Army. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. It is fate that we can meet here in the imperial capital. I hope Mr. Chi can take more care of it in the future," He Lianshang said.
He raised the red wine glass in his hand.
Chi Si reciprocated and clinked glasses with him. They were both in a superior position, so naturally they knew many things tacitly.
Ling Suhe glanced at Mu Qian across from him. She didn't pick up the dishes a few times during the whole process. Chi Si picked the fish for her and put it on her plate.
The shrimp shells and crab shells are also separated. In comparison, her side seems a little gloomy.
The waiter on the side stepped forward and served her a bowl of soup.
"Ma'am, please try it. This is the signature dish of our store. This soup is very nourishing and nourishing, and it is very good for pregnant people."
The porcelain white soup cup contains milky white liquid. Just by looking at the color, you can tell that it has been stewed for a long time.
The waiter here also served Mu Qian a portion, and she took a sip. It tasted very good, and there was a faint taste of almonds in her mouth.
She quickly reacted and looked at the person opposite who was slowly drinking soup.
"This soup is good, how was it made?" Mu Qian asked.
The waiter smiled and said, "Sorry, this is our secret recipe and we can't tell you."
Of course she knew she couldn't tell, but she couldn't tell Xing Xing directly or hastily, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of the person opposite.
"It smells like nuts. Are there any nuts suitable for making soup?"
Mu Qian only said this with a smile.
Cheng Ming, who was behind Lingsu, immediately became alert, "What kind of nuts are there in the soup? Our lady can't eat almonds."
Upon hearing this, the waiter on the other side reacted immediately, with a little panic on his face, and hurriedly pressed the intercom to contact the chef.
Finally, I learned that there were ground almonds in the soup, and I was almost paralyzed with fear.
At the same time, Lingsu, who had taken two sips, had started to have a suffocation reaction, and He Lianshang quickly picked him up.
"Mr. Chi, please excuse me for now."
Several people left quickly, leaving only Chi Si, Mu Qian and Heng Li in the whole room.
The manager opened the door and couldn't help but bow and apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was our management's oversight this time that disturbed the Fourth Master."
This kind of private restaurant will definitely ask customers if they have any taboos before cooking. It is impossible that they have not asked before sight.
Thinking of this, Mu Qian said, "Didn't you ask about the taboos?"
The manager hurriedly said, "I asked, but the gentleman said no, so we just started serving the food."
Heng Li, who was standing nearby, also confirmed, "Mr. Cheng Ming also asked my husband and miss if they have any taboos."
In this way, it's not the restaurant's problem, it's their own problem.
The manager apologized repeatedly and walked out of the room. Such a problem came up in front of Fourth Master Chi. He was shaking when he entered.
Fortunately, this is not an oversight on their part.
"What's going on?" Chi Si looked at Mu Qian.
She looked at where Lingsu was sitting just now, "She has a very weak constitution and is allergic to almonds. She will be out of breath if she eats even a little bit. She should be more careful now that she is pregnant."
Besides, Lu Ye and Cheng Ming didn't just meet her, they both knew about her almond allergy.
If I didn't forget to say it, then I didn't say it on purpose.
"She wants to test you." Chi Si said the answer without hesitation.
She just wanted to see if Mu Qian would remind her as soon as she found almonds in the soup, or if Mu Qian would really be indifferent when she really had a problem.
But it seemed that she really could bear it.
Chi Si looked at her expression and quickly realized something was wrong, so he grabbed her hand that was clenched into a fist.
"Open."
Because of the excessive force, her five fingers were even somewhat stuck together, and her rounded nails dug deeply into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped wounds.
"Sometimes you are the only one who suffers if you think too much. I wonder when you will stop being like this." Chi Si held her wrist firmly.
Heng Li on the side had already fetched the medical kit and handed it over, while Chi Si treated her wounds step by step.
"I am already a dead person in Beizhou, and they all have a new life. Now that we have said goodbye to the past, there is no need to add unnecessary trouble. It is best if everyone is in peace."
After being reborn three times, Mu Qian already knew how to put her mind at ease and say goodbye to the people in her past.
Since some people have disappeared, they should not appear again to disturb other people's peace.
"I can really bear it." Chi Si applied the medicine to her and then wrapped the bandage around it.
Mu Qian touched her hand gently, leaned over and looked at him, "Are you really angry?"
"What do you think?" He reached out and hugged the person into his arms.
Mu Qian knew that he felt sorry for her. In this world, the person who felt sorry for her the most right now was Chi Si.
"I picked her up during the war. She was not that old at that time, but she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She followed me to many places and took good care of me."
Mu Qian has long regarded Lingsu as her younger sister, so she also gave Lingsu many things.
Gradually, the girl who only cried behind her also slowly grew up, and is now almost a mother.
No matter how caring she was, she could tell that Lingsu really liked Helianshang, otherwise she wouldn't have looked at him with such tenderness in her eyes.
"Helian Shang doesn't love her." Chi Si only said one sentence.
"How do you know?" Mu Qian asked with raised eyebrows.
He had only known those two people for a long time, and he could conclude that Helian Shang didn't like her.
"No matter how gentle a man is, the way he looks at the woman he likes is full of aggression. Not to mention aggression, Helianshang's eyes are not even gentle." Chi Si said slowly.
What's more, when he carried Lingsu out just now, his face was cold and there wasn't even a hint of panic in his eyes.
"I'm full, let's go back." Mu Qian was not interested.
Upon seeing this, Chi Si stood up with her, and the waiter opened the door to both sides.
"Don't you want to go take a look?" he asked.
Mu Qian shook her head, "No need."
As long as Helian Shang is here, he will take good care of Lingsu. At this juncture, she couldn't be of much help in the past.
"Do you still want to go somewhere for a walk?" Chi Si led the man out of the yard.
The New Year is approaching, and the roads in the entire imperial capital are lined with red silks and lanterns, making it look very festive.
"Let's go back first." Mu Qian shook her head.
Chi Si lowered his head to calm the emotions of the people around him and took her into the car.
"She will be fine. If Helianshang can't take care of a woman, he doesn't deserve to sit in that position."
Mu Qian's heart was not completely relieved after hearing these words. In the past, she would not have been so worried, but now Lingsu is pregnant.
All aspects of her body have changed, and if something goes wrong, it could easily be life-threatening.
…
The waiting room next to the emergency room of the best private hospital in the imperial capital.
Qiu Yuerong stood by the door very puzzled. Shafeng was solely responsible for receiving Helianshang and his party, so she also got very detailed information.
Before entering the private restaurant, she had already explained to the chef that Mrs. Helian was allergic to almonds.
Why soup with ground almonds and mixed with it was served to the table, she still couldn't figure it out until now.
Jingyu is responsible for returning to the restaurant to investigate, but there is still no result. Thinking of this, Qiu Yuerong can't help but have a headache.
That is a belly that has been pregnant for eight months. If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem.
Helian Shang sat on the sofa with no expression from beginning to end. From his face, Qiu Yuerong could not tell that the husband was worried about his wife.
People who come from war-torn places like Beizhou are used to seeing life and death, especially people like He Lianshang who are in control of the overall situation. Naturally, they will not show their emotions too easily.
Soon the emergency doctor opened the door and came out, speaking very politely.
"It's no longer a serious problem, but you still have to be careful when eating in the future. Fortunately, the child has no problem this time."
Lu Ye and Cheng Ming looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Fortunately, everyone was safe, otherwise they really wouldn't know what to do.
"Since everyone is safe, Qiu's team can withdraw the people who investigated." He Lianshang said.
Qiu Yuerong understood what he meant and turned around in disbelief, "You mean, there is no need to investigate."
He Lianshang only glanced at her and said, "If she is fine and we continue to investigate, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary speculation from outside. I don't intend to stir up trouble this time, and I hope the Qiu team will understand."
Qiu Yuerong also knew clearly that the person He Lianshang met tonight was Chi Si, not an ordinary person. If word of what happened tonight were spread, it would probably cause unnecessary speculation from the outside world.
Since the person involved doesn't want to pursue it, she doesn't have to pursue it.
"Mr. Helian, please rest assured that the entire hospital has been surrounded and unnecessary information will not be revealed."
After speaking, she withdrew.
Lu Ye, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "I told the chef that the young lady can't eat almonds, why are there still them on the table?"
Lingsu was pregnant, so he didn't dare to neglect her at all. In addition, the maid who was accompanying her this time had given her many instructions in the hotel, and it was even more impossible for him to forget it.
After hearing what he said, Cheng Ming stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve to signal him to shut up.
Of course Helian Shang understood what he said. If Yun Muqian hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have taken such a risk.
It was about half an hour until the person was pushed to the general ward to rest, before Helian Shang opened the door and walked in.
The person on the hospital bed was leaning on the bed quietly, and she was looking out the window quietly, with a peaceful face.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Helianshang's voice broke the peace in the room.
Lingsu looked back at him with a faint smile on his face, "I'm fine, and so is the baby."
Helian Shang sat down next to her and noticed the snow falling outside the window.
"I have never seen such beautiful snow when I was in Beizhou. People say that the snow in the Imperial Capital is unparalleled, so I pestered you to come with you."
People are always very curious about things they have never seen before, whether it is scenery or something else.
If it weren't for her admiration for the snowy scenery of the imperial capital, she would not have gone out with Helian Shang.
"You added the almonds, right?" Helian Shang suddenly said.
Lingsu tilted his head and chuckled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
"Is it just to test whether she is Qianqian?"
Lingsu nodded, his eyes turning red, "She's not. From the time I started drinking the soup to the time you took me out, she didn't look nervous or anxious at all."
In the past, Mu Qian cared so much about her that he would not let her suffer without caring.
Therefore, she must not be Mu Qian, not the Mu Qian they knew.
"She taught me that only by controlling my demeanor and not letting anyone know my emotions and anger can I get the maximum benefit from the negotiation table." He Lianshang said.
Being able to teach him this, Mu Qian's disguise was never inferior.
Lingsu, who had been very quiet just now, suddenly became excited.
"She's not! She's not!!!"
She grasped the sheets tightly with both hands, and the meridians on the back of her hands were exposed.
The two people at the door looked at each other deeply after hearing this movement, but did not speak.
