C47 (1/2)

Mrs. Xue was a little listless today, but she did not seem to be angry.

”I heard that your student has been causing a ruckus recently. Your father has not returned home at a normal time for a very long time.”

Mrs. Xue paused for a moment before continuing, ”Last night, when he went back home, I discovered a wound on his chest. I was extremely scared.”

Qi Zhen turned pale with fright when she heard it. She knew that her father was a martial general, but he was still a general, how could he be injured?

”How could this be? Father has close protection, why?” All of you, just go for free! ” She had always thought that her father was someone who could support the heavens and the earth. She never thought that he would actually be secretly injured, and so, Qi Zhen felt a kind of inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

”He's also risking his life. Luckily your father reacted quickly, otherwise …” Otherwise, I don't know what will happen. ” Mrs. Xue sighed.

”Auntie, don't worry. There will always be an explanation for this, don't worry.” Jin Se was calmer. It was useless to complain now, it was just like when people fought on the battlefield, they would never be safe and sound.

”Uncle's injury is more important …” Aunt, have the doctor see it? ” What Jin Se said was nonsense, but perhaps only they would be at ease if they knew the answer to his question.

”En, I've seen both of them. The doctor can say that. You two can rest assured.” Mrs. Xue's expression recovered a little, because Governor Qi's wound was not fatal, and was just suffering from it, so it was nothing much.

Jin Se had always loved his uncle and aunt, so he affectionately pulled her hand. Although Mrs. Xue was middle-aged, his skin was still delicate and white.

She paused, seeing that Mrs. Xue's expression had lightened, she continued, ”After this matter, Uncle must have been protected by a lot of people. Not to mention other things, even ordinary people would not be able to get close to me.”

Hearing Jin Se's words, the Mrs. Xue nodded his head at noon, ”Mn, what I said makes sense.”

”However! You two, stay at home! ” Mrs. Xue suddenly changed the topic and started lecturing Jin Se and the others.

”What are you doing running over to my boy's house?” Mrs. Xue looked at Qi Zhen who had his head lowered, ”As your big sister, don't bring your little sister around to play. It's a mess outside, do you remember?”

Qi Zhen answered repeatedly, ”Yes, mother.”

Only then did Mrs. Xue nod his head in satisfaction.

Qi Zhen saw that the soup on the table was almost out of steam, ”Auntie Flower, warm this up again, I'm afraid mother still wants to eat more.”

”That's right. Madam was worried about the two ladies not having anything to eat, so you must be hungry.”

Auntie Flower carried the things out, but he shook his head, ”Forget it, I won't eat today. I'm not hungry.”

Qi Zhen coaxed her as if she was a child, ”Mother, just eat a little more, I, Jin Se, also haven't eaten anything either, let's eat together.”

”Right?” Qi Zhen looked at Jin Se, and Jin Se immediately understood, ”Third Elder Sister is right.”

”So it's you two brats who want to eat it!” Mrs. Xue smiled and said, ”Go, go and get some more food from the kitchen.”

”Yes.”

After Auntie Flower left, he said a few other insignificant words. Most likely, he calculated when Qi Yue would be able to return home, and it had been a long time since he last saw his sister, Jin Se's mother.

As the three of them were eating, Mrs. Xue suddenly thought of something and said, ”That's right, I had the tailor come today to make some clothes for you two sisters.”

”What are they making at this time of day?” Qi Zhen swallowed the pastries in his mouth and asked.
