Xiao Wei smiled with relief.
Fortunately, she received it.
It was worth it for him to spend several days and nights polishing the gold bit by bit.
"It's you? Why you?" Qiu Zhu muttered in a suppressed voice, "I clearly said that, why did you still come to me?"
"Xiao Wei, I have never liked you. I nodded only because you are the son of the village chief."
"Really? So you're not even the village chief's son. Fortunately, I'm leaving now."
…
The smile on Xiao Wei's face froze. He frantically took out an embroidered handkerchief from his chest and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, Ah Xiu, I don't want you to cry."
When Qiuzhu touched the embroidered handkerchief again, her tears fell even more violently.
He had embroidered the wrong handkerchief and accidentally damaged it when pulling the thread. He was about to throw it away, but when Xiao Wei saw it, he said he would give it to him.
She thought of giving it to him, so she simply changed the pattern.
I didn't expect he still kept it.
"Are you stupid?" Qiu Zhu sobbed, "I, I don't deserve this from you."
Xiao Wei reached out his hand and gently placed it on Qiu Zhu's shoulder. He looked into her eyes and said softly, "How can it not be worth it? Our Ah Xiu is the best girl in the world."
"No, I'm not..." Qiu Zhu's body couldn't stop trembling, and she stubbornly refused to look at him.
What was he wrong about that incident back then? But I treated him like that.
Xiao Wei withdrew his hand, turned slightly to look at the branches next to him that were bent by the snow, and closed his eyes. "Where are you going next?"
Qiu Zhu frowned and said softly, "In the Jiangnan area, I haven't decided where to settle down yet."
Xiao Wei tried to hold back, but still couldn't suppress the clamor in his heart, "I, do I still have a chance?"
Qiu Zhu shook her head and tucked her scattered hair behind her ear. "Xiao Wei, you're very good, really very good." She smiled with relief. "There will definitely be an excellent person to match you in the future. In this life, I wish you happiness, success, and peace."
But what’s the point if the person is not her, no matter how good he is.
Xiao Wei suppressed the bitterness in his heart. Since this was what she wished, a smile appeared on his face. "Well, you too. Can you write me a letter when you get settled?" He paused and said, "Just let me know that you are doing well."
Suddenly, with a "snap", the branch could no longer withstand the weight of the snow and broke in the middle.
Snowflakes kept falling and slowly melted to the ground.
Qiu Zhu retracted his gaze and nodded gently, "Okay."
…
“Bang!”
Ye Tingting covered her right cheek with a look of disbelief.
Ye Wanying turned her wrist slightly and chuckled, "Who the hell are you? How dare you laugh at my joke?"
Ye Tingting hurriedly shook her head, "Sister, it's not like that. I didn't do that. How dare I laugh at you, sister?"
Ye Wanying signaled to the maid beside her with her eyes. After getting permission, the maid walked up and slapped Ye Tingting in the face several times.
Hearing the sound of the slap landing on her face, Ye Wanying laughed heartily, "It doesn't matter if you say you don't have it, what matters is that I think you do."
After a while, a large area of Ye Tingting's face was swollen and red, and some blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Ye Wanying picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully. Seeing that the beating was almost over, she whispered, "Alright, if you beat me again, my good sister will be gone. That's it for today. I'm going to go see father."
After saying that, he didn't stop, stood up from the stool and walked away slowly.
"Miss..." The maid who served Ye Tingting helped her up from the ground with a distressed look on her face.
Ye Tingting stared at the roof viciously for a long time before she slowly closed her eyes and swallowed the blood in her mouth. "Help me to the bed. Oh, and bring me the medicine."
Ye Wanying, who was leaving, walked quickly towards the study. When she heard the servant say that Ye Heng was in the study, she calmed down and walked in with a sad look on her face.
Ye Heng was not surprised to see Ye Wanying. He just asked calmly, "Have you heard everything?"
"Dad, why did you agree to Prince Su's request?" Ye Wanying asked angrily.
Ye Heng frowned, "Wanying, you are my most beloved daughter. You should know that there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn't say."
Ye Wanying was startled, then lowered her eyes, "My daughter knows she was wrong."
Ye Heng nodded. "You have to know that men, the more they can't get something, the more they miss it. Since Prince Su still misses Qing, then let him get it. However, do you still remember what your father asked of you?"
Ye Wanying nodded, "My daughter knows that she must not give her true heart to Prince Su."
Ye Heng nodded with satisfaction. "Go and see your mother. The marriage should be on the agenda soon."
"Yes, my daughter knows."
As expected, less than an hour after Qingyin sent Qingshuang out of the palace, Nangong Yuan's imperial edict arrived.
Qingyin took the imperial edict in silence.
Li Zhang seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end, he couldn't help but said, "Queen Dowager, please don't blame the Emperor. He hasn't had an easy time these past few days either."
Ever since the ministers learned of Concubine Mu's miscarriage, they have submitted memorial after memorial asking the emperor to handle the matter impartially.
If Prime Minister Ye had not suggested at this moment that the Queen Mother could be sent to the tomb of the late emperor to reflect on her mistakes, perhaps those court officials would have wanted the Queen Mother to be killed before they would stop.
Thinking about it now, alas... Li Zhang shook his head in his heart.
Qingyin nodded slightly, the sadness on her face not diminishing at all. She slowly said, "Can I take someone with me?"
Li Zhang nodded without hesitation.
When he just came over, the emperor suddenly called him. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed that the emperor was reluctant to let him go.
That night.
Qingyin dismissed the servants and sat on the futon on the ground. She boiled a pot of water and prepared to make tea.
She thought Nangong Yuan would not come so soon today, but before the water boiled, she heard rustling sounds coming from the window.
She looked up and met someone's dark eyes.
She smiled lightly and said, "Here I come."
Nangong Yan felt a little guilty.
He nodded slightly, then walked over and sat down opposite.
Qingyin was stunned for a moment.
Why is this guy acting crazy again today? So well behaved?
Ever since they talked things out and decided to work together to trick Prince Su, he hadn't restrained himself at all.
Maybe he knew that he would get the antidote soon.
Today, she had specially worn a red crabapple tube dress that he liked. The entire dress was occupied by a huge crabapple flower. She remembered that last time he didn't even let her finish her words, and then...
Nangong Yan was certainly not having an easy time either. From the moment he sat down, he didn't dare look at Qingyin.
Qingyin looked Nangong Yan up and down, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Xiao Qi, is he Nangong Yan?"
"Yeah." It doesn't know now...
Going crazy!
Why did this data suddenly collapse?
At this moment, the water just boiled. Before Qingyin reached out to take it, Nangong Yan had already taken it up and said, "I'll do it."
