A look of coldness flashed across Shen Li's eyes, "Fourth brother said that...it's too natural."

Shen Qi looked at Shen Li for a long time without saying a word, his eyes were full of searching.

"Why do I feel... the ninth brother's words... seem to be for the sake of General Cui's family. As far as I know, the relationship between you is not good. Why is the ninth brother helping outsiders to fight against my elder brother?No...are the rumors outside false? Or...there is another secret between the Ninth Brother and General Cui?"

Shen Li's fingers hidden in his sleeves tightened, "I don't need to explain those insignificant things to you, and I'm just talking about the facts, fourth brother doesn't need to be so up-to-date, fourth brother, you...and other thingsDo you want to talk?" The implication is that he can leave.

Shen Qi laughed silently: "I just said that casually, and you are in a hurry to issue an order to evict the guest? Okay, okay, I don't say anything. Having said that, since I came to Beijing, I have been dealing with other things.I haven't had a good time with you to catch up on the old days, and now I finally come here, why don't we brothers get together?"

A flash of resistance flashed in Shen Li's eyes, "In my memory, I don't seem to be close to you, Fourth Brother, so this...isn't necessary."

Shen Qi: "..."

"Fourth brother, please go back if you don't have anything else to do. I still have important things to do, so I won't chat with you any longer." After saying that, he wanted to get up.

Shen Qi raised his hand to stop him and said: "Okay, okay, your mouth is still as unforgiving as before, so I won't make things difficult for you, just leave now."

He did not stay long, turned around and left the palace.

Shen Li looked slightly cold, then sat down and opened the letter.

Quickly glanced at the content above, pinching the paper with fingertips was slightly white.

The Marquis of Huaiyuan.

Cui Fengzhi didn't stay long before he went to the province and came back. Due to the weather and several days of running around, his condition became a little worse, and he woke up after resting for a few days.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Mrs. Zheng silently fed him a few mouthfuls of medicine without saying anything, which made Cui Fengzhi feel strange.

"Don't you ask what happened over there? How did I come back so quickly?" Cui Fengzhi asked for her.

Putting down the medicine bowl, Mrs. Zheng said: "Isn't this obvious? I told you at the beginning that your body can't last, or don't go. As expected, you didn't stay in the past for long and then came back disheveled."

Cui Fengzhi was blocked for a while, "It's not that I came back in despair. I went to the province to check the exact situation. The flood there is really serious. I discussed the solution with Jin Zhao at that time, but there was no solution.Thinking that the child is indeed a flexible mind, he has thought of many solutions, and those solutions are not as bad as I thought, but save trouble and facilitate a lot, so I feel relieved to leave this matter to him."

"But you know, these methods can't solve the problem just by thinking of them. Flood control is a relatively long process. It takes many tests and detections to reach a conclusion and solve the problem. Jin Zhao is worried that my body will not be able to support it so much.After a while, let me come back first."

Hearing what he said, Zheng admired Jin Zhao, but at the same time worried about him, "After all, that child has never experienced such a thing, I'm afraid he... won't be able to take it down."

Cui Fengzhi patted the back of her hand and said: "At first I thought so too, but then I found out that he is much more attentive than I imagined in doing things. We all underestimated him before. This kid's ability…maybe even better than we thought.”

"Don't worry, I told him that if you can't solve it, or if you encounter any difficulties, you can send me a letter, and I will help him with ideas, but if something really happens to me over there, I willThere's nothing I can do to help him."

Mrs. Zheng didn't expect that he would be enlightened so much when he came back from a trip, and it would be a lie if he wasn't surprised, "It's really rare, you can still say such a thing, and you were so determined not to let him follow at that time, what about now?"

Cui Fengzhi: "If it were before, I still made the same decision, but that kid is too persistent, even if I stop him for a while, it is useless, and... since he is so righteous, for the safety of the people, weI am still very pleased.”

"I'm afraid that child is not only for the safety of the common people, don't you have any idea?" Zheng said deliberately.

Cui Fengzhi's face turned red, and he didn't say anything, but he was very clear in his heart.

He didn't expect... the son he picked up on the way... would become more and more reliable. It seems... the original decision was still wise.

After Cui Fengzhi came back, Cui Yinyin also took care of Cui Fengzhi at home, and Qi Siyun came to visit him from time to time in order to act as a good son-in-law.

After learning that Cui Fengzhi was seriously ill, the Hou Mansion welcomed an unexpected visitor.

"General Pei, why did you visit suddenly?" Cui Fengzhi was about to get up, when Pei Jianing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Marquis, you just need to lie down in peace."

Cui Fengzhi leaned on the bed, looked at Pei Jianing and said: "Isn't General Pei stationed in Ping Liang, why did he come back suddenly?"

Pei Jianing said: "I came back to report some things to the emperor, and when I found out that Marquis was ill, I wanted to come and have a look."

Cui Fengzhi nodded, and said with a smile: "General Pei has a heart, I'll trouble you to make a trip."

The two chatted for a long time, then Cui Yinyin came in with a medicine bowl, and happened to see Pei Jianing sitting by the bed.

Her steps paused slightly, and by coincidence, Pei Jianing also turned her gaze, and their gazes collided. After a while, she put the medicine bowl on the side cabinet, "Father, you two have a chat first, I'll go out first."

"What's the hurry, General Pei is still here, why don't you show respect to him, when did you learn to be so unruly?" Cui Fengzhi called to stop her.

A trace of complexity flashed in Cui Yinyin's eyes, then she turned her gaze and glanced at Pei Jianing calmly: "Hello, General Pei, you need to talk first."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, Pei Jianing hardly even had a chance to speak.

Seeing this, Cui Fengzhi said with embarrassment: "This child has been used to being unrestrained since childhood, don't mind."

Pei Jianing looked back and politely responded.

Cui Yinyin came out of the room feeling a little depressed.

Not long after, Pei Jianing left the room. Seeing him coming out, Cui Yinyin wanted to enter the room, but was stopped by Pei Jianing.

"Yinyin, I heard that you... are getting married?"

Cui Yinyin nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then... congratulations." Pei Jianing said with a smile.

Seeing the gentle smile on his face, Cui Yinyin felt inexplicably irritated, but her heartache was no longer the same as before, she seemed... relieved.

"thanks."

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, until Qi Siyun ran over cheerfully holding the scroll and smiling.

"Yinyin, I found the book my uncle wanted to read..."

As soon as Qi Siyun came in, he saw the two people standing facing each other, and their voices stopped abruptly.
