C73 (1/2)

”My aunt died. My uncle went with her …” Qi Yue's eyes became a little warm as he slowly caressed Jin Se's head. Jin Se was a little tired from crying and her voice even became hoarse.

”When I went over, my aunts were already gone. I was just a step away …”

Seeing Jin Se being so upset, he wished that he could bear everything. That way, he might feel more at ease, but Jin Se was no longer moving, just like an obedient cat, attached to Qi Yue's embrace.

The two of them were quiet for a while before Jin Se finally calmed down. When she spoke again, her voice had indeed become hoarse, but it was even more heartbreaking, ”Third brother, why? What is it for? ”

”Yes …” Sick. ”

No matter what, Qi Yue did not believe that because of the illness, he did not want Jin Se to fall into a dispute. Jin Se was just a woman, and was not able to take all of this, so Qi Yue could not bear it either, and so when it was announced to the outside world, it was all because of the illness. Other than him and the Mrs. Xue, the rest of them would probably sigh.

”I don't believe it.”

Jin Se was very calm, she had only faintly said those three words, and Qi Yue once again comforted her, ”Squeak, it's a sick person … When I got there, my aunt was treating me. ”

Qi Yue calmed himself down. It was not that he would not lie to Jin Se, but he would not lie to him, so he had to organize his thoughts.

”My aunt and uncle died because they were ill in prison and there was no doctor.”

Qi Yue still decided that he would lie in the end. Jin Se pushed Qi Yue away and sat down on a wooden stool at the side with tears flowing down his face.

”Hmm, this is from my aunt.”

Qi Yue took out a warm envelope from his bosom and handed it over to Jin Se.

Jin Se saw that the letter was written with the words ”Jin Se's personal letter”, it was his mother's handwriting. Jin Se rubbed his eyes, wiped his hands with a handkerchief and slowly opened the letter, but there were only land deeds, and all sorts of deposits …

It was all the property of her family and was worth a lot of money. Jin Se had been raised by Jin Zun Yu as well, so his family's foundation was not bad.

”What use do I have for these?” Jin Se smiled faintly, then put the things back. She raised her head and asked Qi Yue, ”Do my parents have anything to say to me?”

Jin Se's eyes were full of hope, and he immediately replied, ”Of course I do.”

”Auntie said to let you live a peaceful life. She will be very happy.”

Qi Yue only wanted Jin Se to be safe, but although Jin Se who came from the Jiang-Nan water village had a gentle personality, he was not someone who could be taken lightly, so Qi Yue was afraid, if Jin Se sensed something and decided to pester him to the end, it would be difficult to say.

”Thank you, Second Elder Brother.”

Depressed, Jin Se put the envelope inside her clothes, bowed to Qi Yue, and slowly walked to the doorstep. Qi Yue became anxious and said to Jin Se, ”Second Elder Brother will see you tonight.”

She knew that on the eve of her arrival at Yunmeng, she had also been reminded of many things. Thinking back to it now, it seemed to be an omen, for example, her own mother couldn't have known about it so early. Died just at that time? It was really too funny, Jin Se didn't want to believe it no matter what.

”Someone did it on purpose.”

This was the only thought in Jin Se's mind. Since someone dared to do such a thing, then Jin Se must think of all ways to take revenge.

When Qi Zhen just entered the door, he was very disappointed. It was only when he heard that Qi Yue had returned did Qi Zhen feel slightly more at ease.

”Where's Big Sis?”

Qi Zhen remembered that Qi Xuan said he was leaving today, that's why he asked.

”The young miss left at noon today. Unfortunately for her, not long after she left for a while, the Second Young Master returned.”

The butler didn't say anything else. Then, he saw Qi Zhen staring at the box for a while, before he added, ”This is Second Young Master's gift from Suzhou.”

Qi Zhen's heart felt a little more at ease, ”Second Elder Brother is still the best.”

She came back late, so she went to her own room first. Ru Chun was quite nervous today, which made him confused.

”Ru Chun, what's wrong with you today? ”Why are you so nervous.”
