If Qi Surong wants to clear his father's name, this person is very important.

Half an hour later, Qi Surong and others successfully settled in this house, spending nearly 3,000 taels, which is half of her entire property. In the days that followed, they had to save money and find another way out.

This mansion is about the size of two courtyards of Qi Mansion, with more than 30 rooms. The house is fairly clean, and the furniture is complete, but it's all ordinary things, simple and practical but not beautiful.

Qi Mu and others were very uncomfortable and lived in trepidation. Almost everyone lost sleep that night.

In the early morning of the next day, Mother Qi finished her grooming under the service of the maid, and came to the lobby in a trance, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of rice in her nose.

Qi Surong came over with a tray and greeted with a smile: "Mother, are you up? Come and eat, this is the breakfast I asked Ping'er to buy at the market, and it's still hot."

Seeing her smile, Mother Qi felt a little warmth in her heart.

She sat down at the table, quietly watching her daughter put out the tableware, her movements were skillful, and there was no sense of disobedience.

"Where's Su Bao?" Qi Surong asked Xiang Nanny.

"Miss Hui, Shuang'er is serving and should be out soon."

"Well, you also went to the kitchen to eat something. You don't need to say hello here for the time being."

"Yes." As soon as the nurse and others left, Su Bao was also brought in by the maid.

At the dinner table, Qi's mother and three sat together and ate breakfast quietly.

Eating and eating, Mother Qi's tears suddenly fell.

"Mother, why are you crying?"

"Why don't you cry for your mother?" Mother Qi choked and said, "How beautiful the Qi family used to be, and now it's down to this place, living in a poor house and eating poor food. The glory of the past has disappeared in an instant, and we don't even know why this happened so suddenly. disaster."

"Mother," Qi Surong handed the handkerchief to her mother and said warmly, "The world is unpredictable and beyond human resources. What we have to do is to protect ourselves first, and then find the root cause."

"Rong'er..." Since the incident, her daughter's calmness has repeatedly surprised Qi's mother. Her appearance has not changed, but her eyes and temperament are quite different. The kind of calm with a bit of vicissitudes, the kind of arrogance that reveals a bit of indifference, the kind of reassuring maturity, it is so different.

Qi Surong picked up her rice bowl and said, "Mother, Subao, let's eat."

No one knows how happy she is at the moment, and being able to sit around and eat with her family again is something that can't be exchanged for any glory and wealth. Although it failed to change the fate of Qi's family being sealed up, she still thanked God for giving her this chance to be reborn, so that she could make up for everything she missed in the past.

In the last life, when they were kicked out of Qi's house, they were penniless and could only go to the pawnshop to pawn off their valuables. They were ridiculed and the price was also pressed again and again. In the end, they only managed to raise a few hundred taels. . Afterwards, they found an inn to live in, but they were disturbed by the servants who came to ask for trouble, and they were driven out of the inn like cattle and lived on the streets. For dozens of days, they spent their days in fear and did not have a good meal. If it weren't for the help of relatives and friends in secret, they would even have difficulty surviving.

Compared with the desolation of the previous life, this time is much better. They have the capital to settle down, less disputes between subordinates, and the embarrassment of living on the streets. When his father came back, what he saw was not a downcast family, but a peacefulness after a setback.

Change starts now.

☆、Chapter 4 Father and Daughter Night Talk

The emperor's investigation of corruption this time, not only the Qi family was on the list, but several important officials in the capital were also investigated, and the Qi family was just one of the sacrificed. This year, the entire capital was full of blood and rain, and the Qi family received less attention than expected. The common people only regard it as a temporary talk, and only some famous families and important officials of the court will really pay attention.

After Qi Surong's family moved into Wangu Lane, they were rarely disturbed. In this turbulent situation, whether it is the relatives, friends or enemies of the Qi family, they have to avoid suspicion.

Qi Surong sent a maid to the market to buy some necessary daily necessities, food, vegetables and fruits, and then handed it over to Qi's mother to arrange. Qi's mother has been frowning and worried in recent days. It would be good if she could find something to distract her.

Sure enough, the family got busy, the originally depressed atmosphere dissipated a lot, and a bit of anger appeared on their faces.

Five days later, Qi Surong asked Manager Liu to hire a carriage, and then went to the inner city with him.

Today is the day my father comes home.

The Qi family's century-old foundation was destroyed once, and this incident was undoubtedly the biggest blow to his father.

In fact, her father, like her, has always been immersed in the former glory of the family, but he does not know that the Qi family has long since declined and no longer has the honor of the past. In addition, his father was arrogant and arrogant, and he was not sociable, so he was almost isolated and helpless in the imperial court. With only wealth, but not enough power, the Qi family's downfall is only a matter of time. Now that the emperor has investigated and handled it, at least his life has been saved, which is a fortune among misfortunes.

However, the money can be broken and the official can go, but the Qi family can't bear this trumped-up crime for the rest of their lives.

corruption? With his father's temperament, he disdains corruption at all. Especially the greed of the Mexican army, this is absolutely intolerable for him as a military general.

Whether in the past or this life, Qi Surong firmly believed in his father's innocence.

The palace door opened, and Qi Surong quietly looked at her father who was slowly walking towards her. He has always paid attention to appearance. At this moment, his hair is messy, his official hat and official uniform have been taken off, and he is wearing a white undershirt, which is haggard and staggering.

Qi Surong's eyes were sore, she quickly stepped forward, helped him put on a cloak, and said softly, "Dad, I'm here to pick you up and go home."

Qi Fu laughed at himself: "Do we still have a home to go back to?"

"Why not?" Qi Surong smiled and said, "Home is where your family is. Dad, let's go. Mother and Subao are waiting for you at home."

She helped Qi's father onto the carriage and slowly drove in the direction of Wangu Alley.

Along the way, Qi's father was silent. When he passed Qi's mansion, he lifted the curtain, his eyes fell on the two seals on the door, and his fingers trembled slightly.
