Chapter 12 The missing nanny is causing worry

Early the next morning, Yuan'er stood beside Luo Sai's bed, holding a feather duster in his hand and flicking Luo Sai's face.

Luo Sai was woken up from her sleep and opened her eyes extremely impatiently. When she saw a young girl leaning against her, her nerves became tense and her body subconsciously moved back.

When Yuan'er saw his appearance, she smiled from ear to ear , " Look, I scared you. Am I that scary?"

"No, how - how are you - this is -" Rossai said incoherently, looking around and found that he was in a completely unfamiliar room.

"My name is Yuan'er. You drank too much last night, so you stayed the night. Do you remember?"

Luo Sai slapped the back of his head hard and shook his heavy head, remembering that he was at Qi's house. He had long known about Yuan'er in front of him. When he investigated the Qi family before, Yuan'er was also the focus of research.

"Remember, it's all your fault, Master Qi, for entertaining me with a bunch of good wine. I don't want to drink anymore for a while."

After Luo Sai briefly freshened up, he followed Yuan'er to the dining room for breakfast. Qi Zheng has been suffering from leg problems in recent days. He doesn't like to walk, so he eats in his room. Qi Mei is asking Qi Xuan about the blind date.

"Okay, okay, I will take it to heart, don't worry, aunt." Qi Xuan said perfunctorily.

Seeing Roselle coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, lest his aunt pursue the blind date.

"I was really rude last night. It was my first time to visit my house. I didn't bring a gift, and I still asked you to take care of me. It's really——"

Before Luo Sai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Mei , " Okay, no need to be polite, let's eat."

Qi Xuan and Luo Sai exchanged glances, then they stopped talking and buried their heads in eating.

After Yuan'er put away all the dishes, Qi Xuan pulled Qi Mei aside and asked about Aunt Shen.

"Why, you still want to investigate what happened back then?" Qi Mei asked.

Qi Xuan admitted that he wanted to know what happened on that Mid-Autumn Festival night. Is it really what Huanyan said? It was Xuanjing's influence that killed those people.

Qi Mei also learned about what happened back then from Aunt Shen. She also really suspected that Xuan Jing was responsible.

"Aunt Shen said that when she heard the noise and ran upstairs, the three people were already unconscious. And you were sitting on the ground crying. But she didn't mention Xuanjing, so I didn't take the initiative to mention it. One of the deceased, Luo Yingxin, had been to the house before. He said that he was studying ancient mirrors and wanted to see the Qi family's collection. So I think they sneaked into the Qi family while we were going to Lingshan for the sake of the police investigation. , it couldn’t be more obvious, what can we say? After all, Xuan Jing’s secret can only be kept for one day.”

When Luo Sai heard his father's name from Qi Mei's mouth, his heart tightened. But he remained calm and asked for clues about Aunt Shen in a calm tone. As for Qi Mei's understanding of Shen Qiulan, Qi Xuan had basically told him everything.

"Then do you have a photo of her?" Luo Sai suddenly had an idea.

"Photo?" Qi Mei thought for a while and said , " There is indeed one, but there is only one. It was taken when she went to Lingshan once. She said she didn't like taking pictures, so she reluctantly took this one. I'll get it. "With that said, Qi Mei went to the bedroom upstairs to dig out a photo album, took out a somewhat old photo, and showed it to them.

The woman in the photo is standing under a tree, holding young Qi Xuan by her hand. Shen Qiulan looks very ordinary, dressed simply, and feels much older than her actual age.

Qi Xuan looked at Shen Qiulan in the photo carefully and felt strange , " The last time I saw her, she looked very young, fashionably dressed, and wearing makeup. Compared with her appearance and condition in this photo, she was completely different." Just two people.”

Luo Sai borrowed this photo from Qi Mei. He always felt that Shen Qiulan's disappearance was not a coincidence, but was full of doubts and there must be a hidden secret. Then he said goodbye and flew back to Jasmine Club on his bicycle.

"Why was he so concerned about the case back then?" After Luo Sai left, Qi Mei said to Qi Xuan , " Is there any conspiracy in this? Xuan'er, do you really want to make friends with him? Do you treat him How much do you know? He and Mao Yinghui know the secret of Xuan Jing, so if he approaches you, don’t you doubt his intentions? "

Qi Xuan had not thought about many of Qi Mei's questions, but his intuition told him that Luo Sai was not his enemy.

"Intuition?" Qi Mei turned around and said with a smile , " If you can't figure something out, can't figure it out, or can't figure it out, just leave it to intuition. This is also intuition, and that is also intuition. It's your own mistakes and you will suffer the consequences. , you were deceived, and your intuition took the blame in the end.”

Qi Xuan lowered his head and smiled without saying a word. His aunt was right. Intuition is an unstable factor. Whether the judgment is accurate or not seems to depend on luck. However, he was willing to give it a try and see if his intuition about Rosé was accurate. Even if your judgment is wrong, it is still better than giving up in the first place. After all, it is a rare thing to meet a friend who is willing to date. If he doesn't cherish it, fate is likely to be like a cloud in the sky, blown away by a gust of wind at some point.

Qi Mei, who watched Qi Xuan grow up, missed him more than anyone else. She stayed with him almost every day, so that this aunt became the closest person to him besides his mother. After her mother passed away, Qi Mei took on the responsibility of Qi Xuan's surrogate mother. Seeing that Qi Xuan cared so much about someone, Qi Mei knew in her heart that the heart Qi Xuan opened to the other person would not be closed easily.

Qi Xuan has been very independent since he was a child and always wants to do his best in everything he does. Under his calm and serious appearance, he hides a fragile heart. In that seemingly domineering and mature body, there lived a little boy with self-doubt and fear. Once Qi Xuan is hurt, he will try his best to hide his inner grievance and pain. His heart will bleed and tears will flow into his body. Qi Mei was afraid of seeing Qi Xuan get hurt, just like she didn't want to see her own child being bullied. She didn't want to see Qi Xuan being angered by others, and she didn't want to see Qi Xuan hide in the room and cry secretly. For this reason, she was worried that Luo Sai, who seemed restless at all, would cause Qi Xuan to suffer physical and mental frustration.

Arriving at her brother Qi Zheng's bedroom, Qi Mei picked up a chair and sat beside the bed, watching Qi Zheng playing chess with herself.

"Qi Xuan and that kid look like they really want to get to the bottom of the past. They can't stop them." After a while, Qi Mei whispered.

Qi Zheng put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head , " Just check, it should have been checked long ago. If we weren't afraid of letting Qi Xuan know the truth, we wouldn't have delayed it for so long. He has grown up, what should he know? , He has to bear what he has to face and bear. I am old, and I can take it one day at a time, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

In fact, they had already determined in their hearts that the murder that year was definitely caused by Xuan Jing. Moreover, Qi Xuan could not ignore the relationship. Because only Qi Xuan can awaken Xuan Jing and release powerful energy that can even kill people. As early as when Qi Xuan was a baby, they had done an experiment. Putting Qi Xuan's little hand on the Xuan Mirror, the Xuan Mirror would slowly wake up from its slumber and release black cold air. Qi Xuan's grandfather had not passed away at that time, so he was amazed when he saw this scene.

Qi Xuan became the person chosen by Xuanjing, its new guardian. But worried about Qi Xuan's safety, everyone unanimously decided to keep it a secret and let Qi Xuan grow up in a normal and healthy environment, instead of living a life full of worries and fear like them. Xuanjing has restrained the Qi family generation after generation. When it comes to Qi Xuan's generation, Qi Zheng hopes to minimize the influence of Xuanjing on him.

Although there is no definite evidence, the most likely cause of Wei Yu and others' death was Qi Xuan awakening the Xuan Mirror and using its energy. This fact is a knot in the hearts of the Qi family. They are unwilling to admit that Qi Xuan is the murderer who caused the death of others, so they chose to remain silent. Whether it is to outsiders or Qi Xuan, choosing to avoid him has become their only choice.

Now, after so many years, the re-emergence of the past is bound to stir up a storm. Whether it is a blessing or a curse is all up to fate.

Qi Zheng let Qi Xuan investigate, and the final result would still come back to Qi Xuan himself. This investigation, which would inevitably point to Qi Xuan himself, would bring clear facts, and perhaps untie their knots, and also allow Qi Xuan to see the road ahead. As for whether he could forgive himself and accept reality, it would depend on his wisdom.

"Let him figure it out. The answer he finds himself is better than us telling him directly."

Qi Zheng pushed up the round eyes on the bridge of his nose, narrowed his eyes attentively and stared at the chess pieces on the board and began to think about it. Qi Mei on the side seemed to have figured it out after hearing what her brother said. She breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a newspaper by the table to read.

However, since Shen Qiulan could not be seen alive or dead, it was not easy to find someone in Jiangcheng. How can the road to reveal the truth be smooth for you? Qi Xuan knew this truth very well, and in his heart, he had already prepared for the worst. From the moment he knew that he could awaken Xuan Jing, he began to suspect that he was the one who harmed Wei Yu and others. Despite this, Qi Xuan still wanted to know every detail of that time. He wanted to find out how Xuan Jing could easily take the lives of mortals. As the new generation guardian of Xuan Jing, all he could do was to know what Xuan Jing was. Whether it is black or white, it can bring blessings to people, or it can bring endless pain to people.

Luo Sai had the same worries. Knowing that Qi Xuan was the guardian of the Xuan Mirror, he could imagine the situation of the Qi family at that time without any investigation. Father Luo Yingxin and others sneaked into the Qi residence and fumbled to find the legendary Xuan Mirror in the study. But unfortunately, they woke up the little Qi Xuan who was not asleep yet. When the little Qi Xuan came to the study and saw the stranger, he screamed in fear and accidentally touched the Xuan Mirror, forming an energy link. The Xuan Mirror was awakened and released an undercurrent that charmed and disturbed people's minds, causing them to end their lives in madness.
