"Oh dear!" Madam Xun cried out, hurriedly buttoning up the two buttons she had just undone.
Qi Lizheng quickly turned his back.
"Big Brother, why did you follow me home?" Madam Xun's tone was very displeased.
Qi Lizheng said, "I'm just concerned.
So... is something wrong at home? Shanhe isn't home either?"
Madam Xun's eyes darted around as she lied, "Isn't it almost the New Year? I thought I'd let the three of them visit family at the Xing residence."
Qi Lizheng frowned.
Madam Xun is lying.
He saw Shanhe's wife leaving in a hurry with Xiao Sui, looking nothing like a family visit, more like fleeing for their lives.
Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, and when he shouted from afar, Xing Shi didn't hear.
"If they're visiting, why was Xing Shi crying as she left?"
Qi Lizheng hadn't actually seen Qi Shanhe's wife crying, but it didn't stop him from pressing Madam Xun.
