Chapter 652 Fragrant Road Mission Continues 57
Hearing the news that Yu Wan was still alive, Wei Ying was very excited at first, but the last sentence seemed to pour cold water on her.

If Yu Wan didn't fight for that position, wouldn't everything Qi Wan have done over the years be in vain?
Everything seemed to be a joke.

"Master can't say that!" Wei Ying retorted with clenched fists.

Qi Fei's face was still calm, and Wei Ying finally understood what was different about Qi Fei when he came back this time. He was no longer the ignorant and ignorant child in the past, exuding a wise man who sees through everything.

A child of seven or eight years old has the breath of a wise man?

It sounds ridiculous, but Qi Fei has such a temperament now.

Qi Fei didn't want to explain too much to Wei Ying's rebuttal, but said lightly: "Sister, it's up to you whether you believe it or not, I'm just telling your mother what she thinks."

Qi Wan stared fixedly at the smoke wafting from the incense burner, then took a bite of the fruit in his hand, and asked, "Why didn't she come back?"

Ever since Qi Shengmian dug up Yu Wan's tomb and found it was empty, Qi Wan believed that his mother must still be alive.

Although he didn't know how she survived, Qi Wan believed in her mother's ability.

She once saw her mother practicing kung fu with her legs crossed, and her body floating in the air. That scene was so miraculous that the young Qi Wan always thought her mother was a fairy.

Including when she and her father went to the palace to pick up their mother, she also believed that her mother was just cheating her death.

These years, she has always thought so, and she took over the Dark Moon Palace left by her mother, and she is even more sure that her mother is a strange woman.

Such an outstanding woman, coupled with the fact that Yu Wan did not correct the wrong marriage, made Qi Wan even more convinced that her mother was interested in that seat.

But now...

Qi Fei said that his mother didn't want her to fight for that seat?
How is this possible?
"Sister, in fact, mother has always been by our side, but I don't know why she can't show up."

Qi Fei saw that his sister was a little distracted and comforted him: "Mother said that she just wants us to be happy and doesn't want you to be in danger."

Qi Wan suddenly turned his head, looked at his brother, and asked, "What about you? Do you want that seat?"

"I don't know either. That seat is supreme, but my mother said that the high place is too cold. I don't know what to say."

Qi Fei pursed the corners of his lips tightly, without the calm and breezy mood just now, he seemed to be very entangled.

The siblings just didn't talk about this topic again.

Wei Ying looked at the siblings sitting on both sides of the chessboard and felt some sympathy in his heart. They were obviously seven or eight-year-old children, and other people's children were still playing to their heart's content, but they had to face many choices...

Moreover, if such a choice is wrong, it will be beyond redemption.

At this time, Wei Ying suddenly complained about Yu Wan, since she was still alive, why didn't she stand up?

Isn't it a bit heavy for the two children to choose whether to compete for that seat?

Wei Ying was secretly upset, but she didn't know that Yu Wan was actually by her side.

Yu Wan also wants to show up, but the system's task is to let her hide in this space for ten years, otherwise the task will be judged to be a failure.

Once the mission fails, she will also be wiped out, and all data will be erased.

Therefore, she is powerless now, and she only did it carefully after frantically testing the system to treat Qi Fei.

It can only be said that the three of them are too difficult.

Qi Fei and Hu's family now live in the suburbs of Jiangcheng. Although it is not as prosperous as Beijing and Yangcheng, the air is good and the folk customs are very simple. The most important thing is that this suburb is quiet and close to Jiangcheng. Anything is convenient.

The room was quiet for a while, Qi Wan glanced at the sun outside, and asked: "It's already noon, go and ask if Dad is back."

After coming to Jiangcheng, Qi Shengfei still couldn't stay idle. Although he didn't say anything about it, he still couldn't stay idle.

He has already started to open Mingxin Academy in Jiangcheng, and he has been too busy to teach in the past two days.

After a while, the servant at home came to report back: "The master said that he would just have a bite at the school, and let the young lady and the young master eat by themselves."

When Wei Ying heard this, he sighed: "Same, sir. Just leave the construction of the school to the workers. What is he doing watching?"

The family of three hasn't had a good meal for several years, and finally came to Jiangcheng, why are they still not together?

Qi Wan pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Qi Fei, can we go deliver food to dad?"

"Okay!" Qi Fei immediately clapped his hands and agreed.

Although Qi Fei was healed by Yu Wan and his mind improved by leaps and bounds, he was still a child and his childishness remained.

When I heard that I was going out, I was naturally very happy.

"This county is not big, so we won't take a carriage, we just walk over."

Qi Fei didn't want to take a carriage. Ever since he came to Jiangcheng, his great-grandmother and uncle had not allowed him to go out. Finally, his sister was able to take him out when he came back. He also wanted to see what fun there was here.

Wei Ying didn't stop her, and followed behind them silently. Anyway, with her around, the two masters would not be in any danger.

However, there is really nothing interesting on the streets of this county.

You can't even see a seller of candied haws and sugar men, let alone anything else.

"Sister, why are there so few people here! Look, the restaurants aren't even open!" Qi Fei sat down at the roadside steamed stuffed bun stall with some displeasure.

It's not that Qi Fei is hypocritical, it's that he wanted his sister to treat her to something delicious, not just casually eat steamed stuffed buns.

"Are you the new household in that mansion?" asked the old bun seller.

Qi Fei kept his mouth shut and didn't speak. He opened his mind and knew that he couldn't answer other people's questions casually.

Qi Wan showed an innocent smile like a child and nodded: "Yes! I went out to play with my brother today, but why can't I see anyone here?"

On one street, there were almost no people to be seen, and the shops on the side of the road were also closed.

The old man sighed: "Now that the taxes in the villages near the county seat are so high, who can live on? All the talented people in the family have left!"

Since the new emperor came to the throne, the tax has been higher every year. Now almost most of the farming has to pay the tax. There is not enough food for an old snack. Who can live on?

Many tenant farmers have left here, and even the big families have gone to the capital.

"No wonder uncle bought the house so easily!" Qi Wan murmured.

"Hey, it seems that your family is in good condition. Don't say I didn't warn you, there have been thieves here recently, and those thieves are very courageous. You'd better be careful."

When Qi Fei heard this, there was a look of fear in his eyes.

Qi Wan thanked the old man and didn't have much reaction.

The siblings ate something, bought all the steamed stuffed buns from the old man's stall, and went to find Qi Shengfei together.

Next to a ruined temple in the county town, the two siblings saw their father.

"Father—" Qi Fei had already ran over joyfully.

Qi Wan took a step back and asked, "There are thieves here? Is our house safe?"
