Xu Qichen and He Yanyin had an appointment at the cafe run by his second brother.

It was not much different from the last time met, but Xu Qichen could clearly feel that He Yanyin had completely let go of his previous feelings for him.

In fact, he knew that it was only because of the conversation when he first met that the woman who longed for equal rights in her heart was respected, so he felt good about him, but this kind of goodwill is actually far less than the love of men and women.

As Lin Nianzhi said, always get married, so it’s better to find one that is convenient for each other. The same is true for He Yanyin, always getting married, it’s better to find someone who respects yourself.

However, compared to the last time, the content of the two conversations this time is much more secretive. If it weren’t because the other party was He Yanyin, Xu Qichen would not dare to make such a request casually. After all, not every woman has her courage and courage.

“You are taking a very dangerous step.”

Xu Qichen smiled, “If there is another way to go, I would naturally not choose this method.”

He Yanyin nodded, “In any case, I will try my best to help you.”

After parting with He Yanyin, Xu Qichen returned to the Xie Mansion. For his own plan, he took the initiative to propose to Master Xie to serve his father. These days Xu Qichen has been waiting in Xie Rujun’s room almost every day. Although Xie Rujun is not his biological father, Sun Lin’s tragedy was not caused by him alone. He is also a victim of it. Xu Qichen does not have much negative influence on him. Emotion, but some pity.

Xie Rujun’s life was about to come to an end, and the chronic poison and medicine eroded his entire body from the inside out, and he could hardly speak.

“Master Lin, the medicine is ready.” A girl stood at the door, holding a bowl of Chinese medicine in her hand.

Xu Qichen tilted his head and smiled, “Okay, put it on the table, I’ll just give my father the medicine in a while.”

The girl nodded, her face full of concern, “Young Master also pay attention to his body.”

“Okay.” Xu Qichen responded with a gentle smile, “Bring the door for me when I go out. Father doesn’t like making noise, thank you.”

The room calmed down, Xu Qichen stood up and walked to the table, took out a palm-sized bottle from his coat pocket, poured some of the medicine into the bottle, plugged the stopper, and poured the rest of the medicine into the window sill. Potted plants.

Every time Xu Qichen sat on Xie Rujun’s bed, pinching his paralyzed palm for him, he looked at Xu Qichen quietly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but his cloudy eyes were moist.

I couldn’t say anything, but this look was full of a thousand words.

Over time, Xu Qichenfeng’s certain emotion in the deepest part of his heart seemed to be awakened.

He regrets a bit. If he does not escape this ending and enters Xie’s house earlier, will Xie Rujun’s life have a chance to be saved?

But Xu Qichen is sober, he is not a savior.

As New Year’s Eve approached, Xie’s mansion was busy working together. In order to experience Xu Qichen, Master Xie arranged for him to help prepare for the New Year’s Eve family banquet in the mansion. This was a big challenge for him. Xu Qichen has always been gentle and treats the Xie family members generous and courteous, especially when compared with Liu Mingde, who came to the Xie Mansion to instigate him from time to time, which allowed him to raise his position in the hearts of the Xie family.

Compared with Xu Qichen, Liu Mingde’s life was not easy when he came in. Originally, he was the only son of Xie’s parents and Cheng Illi had swept the market in Jiangqu City, and now his grandson is back, and his grandson is also All of a sudden fell out of favor, and even the cast of the stage didn’t flatter him like in the past. This made Liu Mingde angry. All day long, he was thinking about how to rectify the bastard who was killed halfway, but he could not find a suitable one Opportunity.

According to the practice of previous years, the relatives of the Xie family arrived at Xie’s residence early on the day before New Year’s Eve. Xu Qichen changed the old habit of arranging residences based on family background and redistributed on the principle of generation. This angered Liu Mingde, who has always been arrogant and domineering in the Xie Mansion.

“Where is that kid Xie Lin!?”

The girl at home was so scared that she couldn’t speak for a long time, and was slapped to the ground by Liu Mingde, “Damn, I can’t even say a word! What’s the use of raising your rubbish!”

“Master Lin is…in the study…”

Liu Mingde snorted, “Fucking him as a young master!” He said that he rushed to the study, and kicked the door open, “Xie Lin! You fucking tell me clearly!”

Xu Qichen was checking the account books with the housekeeper in the study. Seeing this, he didn’t even raise his eyes and ignored them. He continued talking about the problems on the books. Liu Mingde became even more angry when he saw that he didn’t put himself in his eyes. “I’m back, Xie’s small stay is not the best guest room to sleep in. What do you mean by arranging me in the small and partial West Yard! Do you really regard yourself as Xie’s Patriarch?!”

Xu Qichen put down the account books in his hand and said lightly, “Cousin, the assignment of the residence has already been reported to his grandfather, and he also agrees with this approach. Of course, if my cousin insists that it is me who is the cause, I am willing to exchange it with you. Residence, cousin can move to my room today, how about?”

Liu Mingde’s expression was even more ugly, and he rushed up and grabbed Xu Qichen by the collar, “Change with you? What the hell do you think you are!”

Seeing this situation, the housekeeper on the side hurried forward to hold Liu Mingde, “Master Biao calmed down…”

Liu Mingde turned his elbow and knocked the housekeeper to the ground, “What’s the matter with you, old slave? Get up!”

Xu Qichen, who was grabbing the collar by him, calmly said: “Housekeeper Liu, you should go out first.”

The housekeeper stood up from the ground, sighed and left the study.

Liu Mingde was unwilling to give up easily, “You wild species, today my young master doesn’t ask you to suffer, you don’t know how many catties you are!”

Xu Qichen smiled suddenly, and the deference and gentleness just disappeared without a trace, “You are right, I am a wild species, your mother is Xie’s patriarch, and my mother is just an unknown female worker, who gave birth to me. Then I let go. Since I was born, I have served as a servant for others to stop the evil and continue my life, and you are very rich and precious. But what?”

His tone was soft and sincere. Somehow, he created a strange sense of contempt, “Cousin, you know in your heart that my wild breeder will inherit the Xie family’s fortune soon, and you’re worried. Twenty years, after all, the popularity of a foreign surname, nothing can be obtained.”

“Don’t forget. In the past twenty years, you can’t even live in Xie Gongguan. You can only stay in your increasingly run-down Liu Mansion. Who made you not the grandson of your grandfather’s direct relatives?”

Liu Mingde almost blushed when he saw him like this, and punched him in the face. Xu Qichen felt a pain at the root of his teeth, and the bloody smell spread out, but he was still laughing and pushed Liu Mingde away. I walked out of the study like “What is the use of you hitting me? As long as I’m still in this house, you will always be a young master. You have to live wherever I want you to live. I will not allow you to set foot in the future. Thank you.” The mansion, you have nothing to do."

Xu Qichen opened the door of the study, and the last few words were very light, as if he was saying something about himself.

Liu Mingde was completely irritated by him and stepped forward to grab his neck and push him against the wall, ten fingers almost embedded in the skin of his neck.

The intense stimulus made Xu Qichen almost unable to make a sound, and could only move as hard as he could towards the door.

Liu Mingde was not sober at this time, and shouted hysterically, “I want to kill you wild species!”

Overcoming the dizziness caused by suffocation, Xu Qichen stretched out his arms and pushed down the two-foot-tall sapphire vase at the entrance of the study. There was a cracking sound. Several domestic servants on the second floor heard the sound and saw this pair. In the scene, Liu Mingdara was driven away immediately, and Xu Qichen escaped, leaning against the wall and slowly sliding down until he sat on the ground.

Fortunately, Liu Mingde smoked a lot of cigarettes and went to the kiln for so many years, and his bones were already weak, otherwise Xu Qichen would have to be choked off by him alive.

Xu Qichen fell to the ground, and a servant carried him downstairs. Master Xie, who heard about it on the phone, hurried back to Xie’s residence.

“Where is Lin’er?”

Seeing the master so angry, the girl standing at the door said timidly: “Master Lin is lying in the room, and the doctor asked for it to leave.”

Master Xie went upstairs with a cane and saw Xu Qichen lying weakly on the bed, with the fingerprints on his neck still red, and his temper suddenly came up: “What’s the matter!”

The housekeeper said, “Just now… I checked the ledger in the study with Master Lin, Master Biao suddenly rushed in, and at the time I grabbed Master Lin by the collar. I persuaded him to make peace, but Master Biao ignored him. Later, Master Lin asked me to go out first, and he told Master Biao, who knew that later…”

Master Xie’s crutches poked hard on the ground a few times, “Then why is he going to the study?!”

The steward explained: “Master Biao is not satisfied with the residence assigned by Master Lin, but Master Lin has already said that he can change rooms with him, but Master Biao is just…”

Master Xie patted the cupboard beside the bed with a palm, “Where is that wicked obstacle?!”

The servants were silent. Master Xie became angry and asked again. Then someone said timidly: “Just now I saw Master Watch called the driver to go out, saying that he was going to the theater to relieve his anger.”

“This evil barrier…”

Xu Qichen opened his eyes at this time, and sat up hard with his elbows, “…Grandfather, you are here.”

Master Xie immediately sat down by the bed, “Don’t talk anymore, that evil obstacle started so cruel, I think he wants your life!”

Xu Qichen coughed a few times and touched his neck with a faint voice: “Cousin, he is just confused for a while, grandfather must take it seriously.”

“Confused for a while?” Master Xie tightly held the crutch in his hand, “He was confused all his life!”

The girl on the side couldn’t help but finally said: “Master, Master Lin is so good-natured, and she excuses Master Watch. We all saw it just now. Master Watch pinched Master Lin’s neck while shouting at me. To kill you, a wild species, it was too hard. Master Lin couldn’t stand up at the time.”

Xu Qichen glanced at the girl and remembered that she accidentally poured tea and poured some tea on Liu Mingde’s body. It was because she blocked her from being tortured by Liu Mingde.

“Master, Master Lin is very kind to everyone in the house, and he has to bear with Master Biao again and again, but Master Biao has scolded Master Lin privately for many times, and he has said everything…”

“Okay, Xiaoyu, don’t say it.” Xu Qichen coughed a few times. “Grandfather, let’s forget about this matter. My cousin only said such words when he was anxious. It was definitely not intentional.

Master Xie’s face was gloomy, and it took a long time to speak, “You have worked hard these days, take a good rest.” After saying that, he dispersed the servants in the house and let him fall asleep. Xu Qichen nodded and watched Master Xie leave the room. After lying in the quilt for a while, he sat up and walked to the desk with his neck, picking up the pen and writing at the desk.

Liu Mingde did not come back at dinner. Master Xie’s face has always been ugly. Xie’s mansion is so big. This matter quickly spread throughout the mansion. His relatives and relatives also talked about it. If he doesn’t make some punishments, it’s really hard to convince the public. Originally, he hated this nonsense grandson.

In the wee hours of the morning, Liu Mingde returned to Xie’s mansion full of drunkenness. Xu Qichen heard the movement in the room. He put on his coat and came out. He went downstairs and helped Liu Mingde. Liu Mingde didn’t drink too much. Many, when he saw Xu Qichen supporting himself, his temper rushed up again, and he pushed him away with a wave of his hand, “Go away from me, bastard.”

Xu Qichen was not annoyed, a few girls helped him up, and he went back to the room to rest.

On New Year’s Eve, the Xie family was beaming, and Xu Qichen’s ups and downs were very well arranged. The Xie family members praised him, but Liu Mingde was in a different situation. He didn’t even change his clothes early in the morning, and he was so alcoholic. He was called to Master Xie’s room.

“What’s going on yesterday! I think you ate the guts of the bear heart and leopard, and dare to go wild in Xie’s mansion!”

Liu Mingde looked arrogant, “That kid offended me first!”

“You still dare to quibble!” Master Xie pointed to his face, “How are you embarrassed? There are so many eyes staring up and down in the mansion, you all know how you targeted Lin’er, what else can you quibble about! "

“He is buying people’s hearts!”

“Shut up!” Master Xie stood up, “Go and apologize to Lin’er, otherwise you will get out of Xie’s residence!”

Liu Mingde was very annoyed, but he didn’t dare to have an attack in front of Master Xie, so he entered Xu Qichen’s room with anger. After entering, he found that he was asleep with his eyes closed, only spit on the ground, and left without doing anything.

Xu Qichen closed his eyes, and when he heard him slam the door shut, he slowly opened his eyes, took out the pocket watch Xie Rujun gave him a while ago, opened it, and lay down for a while before getting up from the bed.

Outside the firecrackers rang again and again, a lot of children watched the excitement at the entrance of Xie’s residence, picking up the burnt out firecrackers. To celebrate, Master Xie made a special trip to invite a lion dance team to dance at the entrance of Xie’s residence. After most of the hour, the gongs and drums were noisy, and it was so lively.

Master Xie looked at the time. It was already 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and the dinner was about to begin. He said to the butler, “Master Lin is still resting? Go and ask him to get ready and come down.”

“Yes, sir.”

After I finished my explanation, I heard someone report: “Master, Miss He is here, saying that I have something important to tell you.”

“Miss He? The youngest daughter of the He family?”

The servant nodded, “Yes.”

“Hurry up and invite someone in.”

Not long after, He Yanyin walked into Xie’s mansion and said, “Master Xie, happy new year.”

“Yo, Yanyin is here.” Master Xie stood up from the sofa and walked to He Yanyin, “Why don’t you celebrate the New Year at home today? It’s not like this old man like me.”

He Yanyin smiled, “Master Xie is teasing me,” the room was warm, she took off her cloak, Master Xie saw that she was holding a document in her hand, and laughed, “Is there something wrong? ?”

“Xie Lin asked me to do something.” He Yanyin looked upstairs, “I don’t know if he is home or not, I want to talk to him.”

Master Xie nodded. He agreed with Xie Lin’s dealings with He Yanyin, “Yes, just now I called the next person…”

At this moment, the domestic servant who had just gone upstairs suddenly ran out of the room. When he went downstairs, his feet were floating, almost crawling down, and he kept chanting, “Master, Master, Master Lin he……”

Master Xie frowned, “What happened to Master Lin?”

The servant was trembling with fright, glanced at He Yanyin, then at Master Xie, swallowed, and pointed to the room with the open door upstairs, “Master Lin, he, he, seems to have died…”

Master Xie shook his heart, He Yanyin immediately stepped forward to hold on, and sternly reprimanded: “What is the new year’s nonsense!”

The servant pounced and fell to his knees, “Master, Miss He, how dare I…”

Master Xie’s hands began to tremble, but he didn’t want to believe it anyway, “Impossible, this is impossible.”

“Master Xie, don’t worry, I’m a doctor, I’ll go up with you to see what happened.” After He Yanyin finished speaking, he ordered the servant Xie to hold him and follow them upstairs.

There was no one else in the room, and the three of them walked in together. Xu Qichen lay motionless on the bed. There was no sound, as if he was asleep. As soon as Master Xie entered the door, he called out his name several times.

“Lin’er, Lin’er?”

When he stepped forward, Xu Qichen’s hands were cold, and he touched his face again. Master Xie couldn’t stand up immediately. He almost fell to the ground and was held by He Yanyin. “Master Xie, let me have a look. Maybe it’s just shock. .”

He Yanyin took off his gloves, put his fingers under Xu Qichen’s nose and probed. She really didn’t breathe anymore, and then opened her eyelids to check again. Master Xie on the side was still holding a glimmer of hope, anxious, “What’s wrong with him? Is there any help?”

He Yanyin sighed, “Master Xie, let me tell you, he is indeed not breathing, I need to check his heartbeat now.” After speaking, he lifted the quilt, exposed his upper body and pressed his ear to the left chest, and felt him He took out what was in the left breast pocket, then leaned over again and listened carefully for a while.

Master Xie is also a person who has experienced a lot of storms. Although it is thrilling at this moment, he still takes a sigh of relief. But when he sees He Yanyin’s expression, he already understands his heart, but he has a trace of luck, and he still doesn’t want to believe what he sees fact.

“Go… go get Dr. Zhao over…”

He Yanyin suddenly said at this time, “Master Xie, I am not telling you anything. I am here today because it is related to Dr. Zhao from your house. He is probably already arrested by the police.”

Master Xie was unaware of the situation and was shocked, “What did you say?”

He Yanyin handed the document to Master Xie, “Actually, Xie Lin should tell you about this matter. He found that his father’s daily medication had a problem, so he brought me some medications when people were not paying attention. I helped him test. This is the result of my test. The Xie family’s medicine does contain poison, and the daily dosage is small, which is difficult to detect, but it accumulates and damages the human body extremely seriously.”

She sighed, “Xie Lin was just wondering at first, why his father has been treated for so long, but his health is getting worse and worse, so please help me find out the reason.”

Master Xie couldn’t help shaking his hand holding the test result, “Who is it?! Who is it?”

He Yanyin unfolded the paper that had just been taken out of Xu Qichen’s shirt pocket, gave it to Master Xie after a rough glance,
