Chapter 228 Don't lie to me, okay?
Two days later, Xiaoqingshan, peach blossom forest.
noon.
There are no trees along the banks for several hundred steps, and the grass is fresh and fragrant, with fallen petals in all colors.
The scene described in the "Peach Blossom Spring" in the previous life appeared before my eyes, with pink and red peach blossoms close to each other, filling thousands of branches.
However, the protagonist at the moment is not the Wuling fisherman, but Wei Changtian.
The figures walking through the forest were not the reclusive villagers living in a paradise, but several young women dressed differently.
The sun is shining brightly in the warm sunshine, and the wind is blowing gently, with peach blossoms trailing green smoke.
The breeze slightly lifted the skirts of several girls, and their white ankles were faintly visible, creating a scene of comfort and beauty under the sun.
"Young Master."
Walking side by side with Wei Changtian in the forest, You Jia looked at Xu Qingwan who was picking flowers with Yang Liushi not far ahead, and asked in a low voice:
"Does Miss Xu know that I am Longque?"
"have no idea."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I haven't told anyone about your affairs."
"That's good."
You Jia nodded as if relieved, and gently plucked off a few peach petals that had fallen on Wei Changtian's robe, her movements gentle.
That night, after Wei Changtian made the somewhat rude "confession" of "I actually like you", she told him all her secrets.
Looking back now, You Jia doesn’t know why she made this decision at the time, nor does she know why her love for Ning Yongnian was so "fragile".
She just thought at the time that even if Wei Changtian killed her after knowing the truth, it would be much better than being a discarded pawn.
But the latter did not kill her.
After listening to this, Wei Changtian was silent for a long time, then he held her hand and said something softly.
"It's okay. It's all over."
“.”
This is a sentence that the man would never say.
You Jia knew very well that if the same thing happened to Ning Yongnian, what would greet her would definitely be the ruthless sword of the emperor.
"Sir, Li Huaizhong..."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at the worried You Jia, knowing that she was worried about the trouble caused by "failing to complete the task".
"I will take care of everything for you, just rest assured."
"good"
You Jia responded softly, lowered her head and said no more.
The spring forest is quiet, birds are chirping, and a brook is gurgling in the distance.
Wei Changtian didn't say anything. He walked at a moderate pace on the green grass that was just about to sprout. His mind once again recalled Ning Yongnian's plan that You Jia had confessed to him.
He used the abandoned monks of the Folian Temple to create conflicts between the Wei family and Buddhism, thereby further weakening the power of both sides.
Although this conspiracy failed after he chose to hand over Youjia, he also earned 200 system points.
However, if Yang Liushi had not noticed Youjia's abnormality and reminded her in time, the situation she would be facing now might be completely different.
Alas, the process of power struggle is really like walking on thin ice.
Wei Changtian sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.
Now that he already knew Ning Yongnian's plan, his goal of conquering Youjia had been half achieved.
As for the remaining half... Hmm? A scent of flowers drifted through his nose, and Wei Changtian suddenly felt a warm little hand breaking into his palm.
The little hand seemed to be timidly holding its fingertips. Although it felt warm to the touch, it was not as soft as Yuan'er, Yang Liushi, Lu Jingyao and others' hands.
It's similar to Xu Qingwan.
He turned his head with a little surprise and looked at You Jia, whose face was flushed. Just at this moment, a ray of sunlight fell through the gaps between the peach blossoms and turned into round spots of light.
When the wind blew, spots of light danced on the pink skirt. Youjia looked back with rapid breathing, her hair and eyebrows sparkling.
"Wei, Master Wei, I have indeed lied to you before."
"But, but I won't do that again."
"Don't lie to me, okay?"
“.”
Eyes full of hope and desire were within reach. Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then looked into You Jia's eyes and replied calmly:
"good."
“.”
Suddenly, a white cloud parted from the sky, and the sun poured down in an instant.
Her body was shaking slightly uncontrollably. You Jia held Wei Changtian tightly with one hand, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other hand.
These are tears of emotion and joy.
Having heard too much perfunctory talk and deception, and too many unfulfilled promises, Youjia’s expectations for the future are actually very simple.
She just hoped that Wei Changtian would not treat her as a chess piece like Ning Yongnian did, and that she would not lie to him.
Therefore, this "yes" means a lot to Youjia.
It not only means that she has a man she can rely on and trust in the future, but also means that she is no longer the Longque who has "no control over her life and death".
However, Yujia didn't know that.
This "OK" is actually a deception.
Two days later, it was the tenth day of March.
After arranging all matters in Shuzhou, Wei Changtian left Shuzhou as scheduled and secretly went to Jizhou to discuss the matter of "destroying Liu" with the Xu family.
The people traveling with them included Chu Xianping, Zhang San, Qin Zhengqiu, several Masonic masters, and You Jia.
In order to conceal their whereabouts, except for these people, no one else knew where Wei Changtian and his companions were going or how long they would be gone.
It's not even clear when they left.
"Miss Xu, don't wait any longer, eat quickly."
It was late in the evening and Li Suyue was persuading Xu Qingwan, who was waiting at the door of the small house, to go back home for dinner.
"The master and Zhang San should be back at this time of the year. Since they are not back today, they must have gone out of town to do some business."
"oh"
Xu Qingwan looked away with a bit of disappointment and asked in a low voice: "Can Zhang San tell you when they will be back?"
"No, he just said he was going out with the master for a few days."
Li Suyue shook her head and consoled her, "Miss Xu, although things are not very peaceful now, as long as the master and his men are not going to places like Jizhou, I think nothing will happen."
"Um."
Xu Qingwan nodded without comment, followed Li Suyue across the courtyard, and returned to the dining room to prepare for dinner.
Yang Liushi and Liang Qin were both there, but You Jia was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Miss You?"
She asked casually, and everyone shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
But after thinking for a while, Yuan Er suddenly said, "It seems that Miss You has also followed the young master and his friends."
"I went to clean Miss You's room today, but I found that a few clothes were missing. I think Miss You took them away."
“.”
The group of women in the room just nodded when they heard this, but they had different thoughts in their minds.
Liang Qin: Humph! So angry! I'm jealous! ! Yang Liushi: Sir, what is your purpose in bringing Longque with you? Is there any danger?
Li Suyue: Alas, the master seems to be too close to Miss You recently and has become distant from the other girls.
Ah Chun: Great! Master is going out!! Xu Qingwan: I told Wei Changtian a few days ago that I wanted to go out with him, but why didn’t Changtian want to take me with him but wanted to take Youjia with him? The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window lattice, and the orange dusk hides countless women’s little thoughts, little joys, little concerns, and little longings.
