After more than a year of waiting, the precious flowers and plants finally matured.
There were still some seedlings left that could not be taken away, so Shang Shuyao decided to spend money to hire villagers to help water them.
The secret base that he had kept hidden for several years was finally discovered by everyone.
On this day, Shang Shuyao was packing up her gold and silver jewelry, preparing to go to Fengxiang, the western capital, to look for Lin Yue and Chu Qi.
It has been more than a year since we last met, and Shang Shuyao is now fifteen years old.
"Coo, coo, coo."
A pigeon flew into the yard, landed on the window sill of Shang Shuyao's room, and tilted its head to look at the person inside.
When Shang Shuyao saw the pigeon, Chu Qi's face appeared in her mind.
The guy who used to be a killer, unexpectedly, appeared calm and self-contained on the surface, but in private, he was actually a person who loved furry animals.
More than once, she found the guy secretly stroking the rabbit's fur behind her and Lin Yue's backs.
Thinking of this, Shang Shuyao pursed her lips and smiled to herself, then walked over and took the letter off the pigeon's leg.
After reading the letter, Shang Shuyao raised his eyebrows and murmured:
"Sure enough, there is something fishy going on between Xiao Qi and Lin Yue."
Shang Shuyao was not surprised to receive the news that the two were going to get married.
Long before, she had noticed that Lin Yue's heart and eyes were full of Chu Qi, and now that Chu Qi had come to her senses, it was only natural for them to get married.
Normally speaking, getting married at the age of sixteen is considered late marriage and late childbearing.
Shang Shuyao quickened her pace, simply packed up her spare clothes, her own bottles and jars, money and jewelry, etc., and at noon, she headed for the Western Capital Fengxiang with the coachman.
On the other hand, Chu Qi and Lin Yue will naturally not hold their wedding soon.
Out of common sense, Chu Qi informed Qiu Ruoling, the mother of this body, of her upcoming marriage.
If she could come, it would be a good opportunity for them to have the wedding ceremony with her; if she couldn't come, this step could be skipped.
***
Qiu Ruoling's cousin Qiu Hua arrived outside Chu Qi's mansion more than a month later.
Although she doesn't seem to pay attention to her eldest son, Qiu Ruoling secretly asks people to pay attention to him. One reason is that she loves her son very much.
On the other hand, I also wanted to protect my eldest son.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Although Chu Anping promised not to cause trouble for Chu Qi on the surface, who knows if he will do something behind her back?
Therefore, Qiu Ruoling easily found out Chu Qi's new residence and directly ordered her disciples to send Qiu Hua to Chu Qi's residence.
When the gatekeeper saw an unfamiliar carriage approaching the door, his face turned grim and he hurried in to report.
Not long after, a middle-aged butler came out, his slightly old face forced out a distant yet polite smile:
"I wonder who you are?"
A girl with red lips and white teeth got off the carriage. She was as delicate as a willow in the wind and bowed tenderly:
"Hello, I am Qiu Hua, the niece of cousin Qiu Ruoling. I have come here on my cousin's orders to seek refuge with cousin Chu Qi."
The housekeeper heard this with an unchanged smile, "It turns out to be Miss Qiu, please come in."
He made room for Qiu Hua and extended his hand to invite her in. The disciples outside looked at each other in bewilderment, and then a young man came out and clasped his fists, saying:
"Miss Qiu Hua, since you have come here safely, let's go back to the villa first."
"Okay, thank you for your care along the way."
Qiu Hua immediately spoke softly.
"Well, take care!" The young man's cheeks suddenly turned red when Qiu Hua looked at him like that, and he looked away slightly, not daring to look any further.
After watching the group go away, Qiu Hua followed the housekeeper into the Chu family's inner residence.
After passing through several corridors, the housekeeper brought Qiu Hua to the main hall.
Sitting at the head of the main hall was a young man in a crescent-shaped white robe, with a handsome face and a cool demeanor. Qiu Hua only raised her eyes and glanced at him carefully, not daring to look at him any further.
Next to the young man sat a beautiful girl in a pink gauze and green dress, who was talking to him with a smile on her face.
Qiu Hua's heart skipped a beat as soon as she saw him. When she came, she only heard her cousin say that her cousin was still unmarried and didn't even have a maid to share the room with. Who was that woman in pink gauze?
"You must be Qiu Hua's cousin."
Chu Qi looked at the girl standing at the door, who seemed very reserved, and took the initiative to break the silence:
"Please take a seat."
"Cousin..." Qiu Hua's ears twitched slightly. She sat down carefully and straightened her upper body.
She didn't know why she was being stared at by the young man at the top, but she felt a sense of panic in her heart, as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
In the blink of an eye, the young man was still the same young man, as if everything was just an illusion.
"You don't have to take my mother's words to heart."
Chu Qi said softly.
With just one sentence, Qiu Hua's face turned pale instantly.
Don't worry about it. Does that mean I can't get protection from my cousin?
If I don't get protection, won't I have to go back to my gambler father and accept his marriage?
However, Chu Qi's words calmed her uneasy heart:
"Since you are my cousin, I can give you a place to stay. From now on, whether you want to get married or be self-reliant, it's up to you."
Qiu Hua's pupils shrank slightly when she heard this. She became excited almost immediately and said gratefully:
"Thank you, cousin. I think... I want to live on my own for a while."
"Okay, when you want to get married, you can treat this place as your parents' home."
After saying that, Chu Qi asked the housekeeper to take Qiu Hua to the residence that had been prepared earlier.
Although they both lived in the mansion, Qiu Hua lived half the mansion away from Chu Qi, so their daily lives definitely did not affect each other.
When Qiu Ruoling received the news that Chu Qi was going to get married, she knew that he did not accept the concubine she found for him, so she did not ask much, but only said that she would be present at his wedding.
When getting married, one naturally has to find an auspicious day.
Chu Qi specially bought a house three streets away from the mansion and gave it to Lin Yue. When the time comes, Lin Yue will get married directly from there, and Chu Qi will bring her home in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Although neither of them has elders, the sense of ceremony cannot be missed.
Which girl doesn’t want her lover to marry her home in a grand sedan?
Lin Yue couldn't resist anyway.
When Lin Yue knew Chu Qi's decision, her eyes turned red and she hugged Chu Qi's waist:
"Sir, you are so kind to me..."
"When you love someone, you naturally want to give her the best."
Chu Qi spoke in a low voice, pinched Lin Yue's chin, hugged Lin Yue's slender waist, pressed her on the stone table in the pavilion, and leaned in to kiss her.
Gradually, Lin Yue's face was filled with lust again, and she foolishly let Chu Qi do whatever she wanted.
“Coocoocooo ...
At this moment, a pigeon flew over and landed on Chu Qi's shoulder.
Chu Qi didn't care about the pigeon at all, she just stretched out her hand and swept it away, "Go away."
"Coo, coo, coo?" The pigeon flapped its wings and flew away, its little eyes filled with shock, as if asking, "Am I not your little sweetie anymore?"
"Hmm~Who's looking for you?"
Lin Yue finally managed to breathe freely, and quickly buried her face in the young master's shoulder and said.
The physical fitness of people who practice martial arts is completely different from that of ordinary people!
Lin Yue felt sweet but also a little distressed. She was really afraid that one day she would be deprived of oxygen because of kissing the young master...
