Chapter 60 Family
The food was delivered only a few bites and then retreated. In the past few days, her appetite is getting worse and worse day by day. In the future, Qiu Yao finally began to panic a little. In order to stabilize her face, she said that she was already pregnant. I'm afraid it would be a lie.
Just as she was worried, the maid suddenly announced that Qiu Yao would go to the dining room. Qiu Yao estimated that it was the Xie family who had arrived. She hurriedly went out to the dining room. As soon as she got to the door, Xie's father greeted her. Xie Er Niang stood up anxiously and her hands were stranded together.
"Dad, second mother." Qiu Yao's nose was sore. For a moment, she sighed with emotion. Suddenly, she realized that there was one person missing in the hall and couldn't help asking, "Where is Xie Jin?"
As soon as Xie Erniang covered her mouth and sobbed, Qiu Yao's heart tightened, and then went to see Xie's father, and the dry eye sockets also turned red.
"A few days ago, the Qin army invaded Yingdu. When our family fled, we were dispersed by the crowd. Jin'er disappeared at that time. We still haven't heard from him for a few days." Father Xie said and choked a little. Qiu Yao felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to get all kinds of love from Father Xie when he was old, but he lost his only son because of the war. During this period, I asked someone to go to Jingfu to find you. I didn't expect that all the people in Jingfu had already left the capital. I thought you left with Mr. Jing. Why are you here now?
"I have never been what you think of Mr. Jing. Don't tell my father," Qiu Yao said, "Song Yu and I have been married for more than a month."
"You and Song Yu?" Father Xie looked unbelievably, "Well, now it's meaningless to talk about these things. Since you are interested in him and the Jing family doesn't pursue it, it's up to you at this time." Father Xie sighed helplessly.
Qiu Yao curled her lips and said, "Do you know where this is?"
"You don't know?" Father Xie rubbed his eyes and looked surprised. "The benefactor said that he had found you, so he brought us here to see you. Why don't you stay with Mr. Jing? Since he let you into the house, how can he not marry you?
"The benefactor?" Qiu Yao sneered and thought that it might not be the time to make it clear to Xie's family, "Since there is that benefactor, how could Xie Jin get lost?"
"After the benefactor took us out of Yancheng, he let us make a living by ourselves. When the Qin people attacked the city, the family was scattered. It was the benefactor's men who took me and your second mother to a place, but Jin'er couldn't find it." After Xie's father said that, his eyes were wet again. Qiu Yao couldn't bear it and hurriedly took him to the dining room and sat down.
Xie Erniang is still crying, "Hibiscus... You must help find your brother..."
"I will try my best to find a way," Qiu Yao sighed. "Where do you live now?"
"Dad doesn't know. The family has been in Yanying for most of their lives and knows nothing about the outside world." Father Xie waved his hand and said, "It's probably more than a hundred miles south here."
"You haven't asked others which country and which city it is?" Qiu Yao frowned more tightly.
"I asked, the servants who served said they didn't know, and the benefactor told us not to go out after the chaotic situation outside, so we didn't have contact with the people outside," Father Xie poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all, and then raised his sleeves to wipe the tea on his mouth. "Fortunately, this place is still peaceful."
Qiu Yao was silent, and a burst of nausea suddenly surged into her chest. She immediately realized what was going on and immediately poured herself a cup of tea and drank it quickly. She tried not to show anything abnormality in front of the maid, but her face changed several times for a while.
"What's the matter? But what's wrong?" Father Xie asked with concern. Suddenly, he saw Qiu Yao's wrist that put down the teacup was empty. He couldn't help asking more, "Where is the bracelet left by your mother?"
Qiu Yao couldn't help but look at Xie Er Niang beside her when she heard the words. Sure enough, she shrank slightly. She thought about how many disturbances the bracelet had caused before. The sequelae left behind that she almost became a cripple later. The disgust in her eyes flashed away. Qiu Yao's face was ashamed, "I was accidentally lost."
Seeing Xie Erniang's happy face, Qiu Yao couldn't help frowning and turning her face to one side, "Are you staying here or going back to where you used to live?"
"The benefactor told me to go back before sunset today," Father Xie looked around. "Why don't I tell my benefactor to see if I can move in with your second mother."
"He won't agree," Qiu Yao laughed. If so, what else can he do as a bargaining chip to blackmail her? She looked up at the maid standing not far away, gently lifted the teacup with her sleeve, and then hurriedly went to help Daddy Xie wipe the splashed tea on his skirt, and came to his ear and said in a just the right voice. The sentence "try to leave", and then he sat back with a calm face.
However, Father Xie could not be so calm. After so many days, he naturally tried to leave the yard, but he was resolutely obstructed by the nursing home, saying that it was impossible without suspicion. The feeling of doubt coming to this place this time became more and stronger, and Qiu Yao's warning made Father Xie affirm the previous speculation. .
Father Xie's expression changed greatly. Fortunately, his back to the maid was not seen. His lips trembled twice but he couldn't say anything. Qiu Yao raised her head and ordered the maid to take Father Xie to change his clothes, and then handed her handkerchief to Xie Erniang, who had been sobbing since just now.
"Furong," Xie Erniang held one of Qiu Yao's wrists with red eyes. "Er Niang treated you badly in the past, and Er Niang admitted it, but it is often said that we can see the truth in adversity. What's more, we are a family. You must help Er Niang find your brother..."
Qiu Yao was not used to being used to her holding her hands like this for the first time. Xie Erniang was shocked a lot during this period. Her face, which was not very much fleshy, was much thinner, her cheekbones protruding more obvious, and a pair of carefully picked charming eyes were swollen like walnuts. Qiu Yao couldn't bear it and did not pull her hand back. I said, I will try my best to help find him back.
"Er Niang was sorry for you before..." Xie Erniang let go of Qiu Yao's wrist and cried more fiercely. Qiu Yao couldn't do it, so she had to comfort her at will. Fortunately, Xie's father quickly changed his clothes, and Xie Er Niang shifted her goal to complain to him.
The narration only lasted for a short time and ended hastily. Qiu Yao's whole body was weak. She tried to hide her tiredness and returned to the room half-lying to nourish herself. The escape plan was temporarily failed. Father Xie had already understood his situation. The current problem is how to keep in touch with her and try to escape together.
Pulling out the map by the pillow, Qiu Yao already had a plan in her heart.
