This was the first time Tang Yi had hugged Song Jiao. Inhaling her faint fragrance, his breathing quickened.
"Jiaojiao, come back to the Tang residence with me tonight, okay? I want... you."
His hoarse voice was filled with longing for love.
Song Jiao's body trembled slightly.
She pushed Tang Yi away forcefully and stepped back.
"My lord, please don't do this..."
Tang Yi raised his eyes, his burning gaze fixed on Song Jiao's body: "Jiao Jiao..."
Song Jiao: "Do you know why I always cover my face?" She couldn't let Tang Yi be so obsessed with her anymore.
Tang Yi thought for a moment: "A woman who wants to support herself must show her face in public."
But you are of noble character and unwilling to show your true self to others.
Song Jiao was well-educated and had an extraordinary demeanor. Tang Yi felt that she was definitely not a courtesan.
He further believed that Song Jiao was a fallen heiress.
No, I'm not as good as you think.
"My face is disfigured, and I'm ashamed to see anyone." At this point, Song Jiao's eyes reddened.
If Tang Yi is allowed to continue his infatuation with her, it will be bad for Tang Yi and bad for her as well.
Before Tang Yi could react, she took action and slowly removed her mask, revealing half of her face that had not seen the light of day for a long time, as well as the two striking scars.
“Your face…” Tang Yi stared intently at the girl in front of him, standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
"I'm ugly, aren't I?" Song Jiao closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
Because of her disappointment, she didn't even realize that her arm had loosened its grip.
With a thud, the glass lamp slipped and fell heavily to the ground, breaking in two.
"You...no..."
“…The colorful clouds are easily scattered and the glass is easily broken, the glass is broken…” Song Jiao repeated the poem in her mouth, her gaze was drawn to the young boy and girl who were having a little tantrum in the distance, and in her mind was her unbearable past.
"Lord Tang, I'm leaving now." She turned her back, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears on her face, put her mask back on, regained her usual expression, and then disappeared into the noisy crowd.
Tang Yi remained standing there, stunned, until the figure in the distance grew further and further away...
He bent down and picked up the shattered glass pieces from the ground one by one.
On the lakeshore, Qiu Dayu ran quickly, chasing after the girl in front of him.
"Yuanyuan, slow down, what did I do to upset you again..."
"Qiu Dayu!" Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" Qiu Dayu was running too fast and accidentally bumped into Zhao Yuanyuan from behind. He quickly stopped. "Yuanyuan, I..."
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. The first thing I saw when we met was you with Song Jiao, and you even gave her a lamp."
"No, I was just using his connections to present something to the Buddha. Didn't you see the magistrate was here too... Yuanyuan, wait for me here, don't wander off."
After Qiu Dayu finished speaking, he quickly ran to the market in front.
When he returned, he carried a angular lantern.
"Yuanyuan, do you like it?"
Zhao Yuanyuan reached out and took it, her previous emotions gone.
Seeing the group ahead, she was overjoyed. "Brother Dayu, Xiaoyan and the others are just ahead."
After saying that, she walked forward.
On the shimmering lake, boats came one after another.
The boat was filled with all sorts of people, men, women, young and old, countless in number.
Gu Xiaoran stared longingly at the boats on the lake, eager to try them out.
"Mother, Xiaoran also wants to ride a boat."
After Gu Xiaoran finished speaking, the other children all looked at Qiu Yan.
They also wanted to take a boat trip.
Qiu Yan nodded, "Okay."
