Furthermore, due to the special nature of A-Ling and A-Chen's Miao marriage, they don't need to make it public; everyone can just keep it to themselves.
"Ah Chen, even if you want to give, what you're giving is too much!" Ah Ling looked at Ah Chen.
Ah Chen said in a very serious tone:
"I will give you everything I have, and I will find a way to give you what I don't have! Put it away now! When I ascend the throne next year, I will welcome you into the family according to proper etiquette."
"Achen--"
Ah Ling never imagined that Ah Chen would speak to her in such a gentle tone one day.
Her eyes reddened.
Ah Chen stepped forward and, as her vision blurred, gently wiped away her tears.
However--
It was as he approached A-Ling and wiped away her tears that he smelled a familiar scent.
The smell made him stop what he was doing.
He could smell it because he was so close.
But to confirm further, he moved even closer to Ah Ling, his face almost touching Ah Ling's jade-like neck.
"Achen--"
Ah Ling thought Ah Chen wanted that, and her cheeks burned, her pretty face turning red in an instant.
But the next second, Ah Chen almost touched her chest again.
Then he circled around behind her.
This made Ah Ling feel shy, but also like it wasn't what she had imagined.
So she turned around and asked, "What's wrong? What are you smelling?"
Ah Chen's eyes darted around as he looked Ah Ling up and down, confirming that Ah Ling's body scent was the same one that had lingered on him that day.
Exactly the same--
He thought for a moment, then, gazing at Ah Ling's unbelievably beautiful face, asked:
"Ah Ling, I have a question for you!"
"Go ahead and ask."
"When I first came here, the night I was poisoned by the Black Miao Gu, the person who removed the Gu from me at Shi A Lei's place was you, right?"
boom--
A-Ling didn't know why A-Chen would suddenly ask this, or what his basis for asking it was, but since A-Chen had asked, she didn't hide it from him.
"It's me! But... Ah Chen, how did you know it was me?"
"It really is you."
Ah Chen sat down sideways and looked at Ah Ling, saying, "I've always been puzzled that Gu Miao Ah Xu's poison is not weak."
"Overnight, oh... to be precise, just a few hours --"
"Even if the top Miao girls from Danfeng Miao Village, like Lei, helped me and Brother Yin detoxify, it wouldn't have been possible to do it so cleanly, leaving no trace at all."
"But everyone was unconscious at the time, so I didn't ask. But I found that when I woke up, this location---"
Ah Chen pointed to his collar and said, "There's a special fragrance here. I've smelled this fragrance before, and I thought it came from the girls here."
"I never expected this---"
Hearing this, Ah Ling basically understood.
She immediately sniffed herself, but she couldn't smell anything.
"Don't smell it, it's body odor, a unique body odor."
Body odor?
As soon as A-Ling sat down, she looked up at A-Chen. A-Chen said, "This body fragrance is very special. I secretly checked it later, and you, A-Mo, and A-Yun all have it. It's exactly the same."
"Ah Ling, when you saved me that night, you didn't look around inappropriately, did you?"
Forehead--
Ah Ling had just thought of Ah Chen's little tent when Ah Chen asked this question.
Instantly, her pretty face turned red again.
And it was from her reaction that Ah Chen understood!
No wonder--
No wonder Ah Ling saved me but didn't say anything; it turns out she saw something else but was too embarrassed to talk about it.
"Ah Chen, I--"
"I'm not blaming you! But, after you gave me the antidote that night, what happened to Brother Yin—"
"Oh, don't misunderstand! It wasn't me who did it to Li Ayin, it was an old woman from Danfeng Miao Village who did it."
Afraid that A-Chen would misunderstand, A-Ling told A-Chen about what happened that night.
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen smiled bitterly, "I knew it! How could she faint so quickly? It turns out you guys were the ones who did it."
"So, in that case—"
Ah Chen looked Ah Ling up and down and asked, "You stayed by my side that night until dawn?"
"Yes! I wanted to bring you back here that night, but you came secretly, and then Ah Xu used the curse. After I contacted Ah Mo, she said you would probably seek revenge, so I—"
"Understood."
When this matter was brought up, Achen couldn't help but ask about the handling of the Gu Miao people on the Xiang Miao side.
A-Ling got up and poured A-Chen a bowl of rice wine, saying:
"You don't need to worry about that. The instructions have already been given that the poisonous insects must not be allowed to affect the overall development of the Xiangmiao people."
"Even if there are a few wicked old women, I have already warned them."
As soon as she finished speaking, A-Ling took out some lists from Xiang Miao's side and showed them to A-Chen.
Ah Chen drank his wine while looking at the confidential documents in his hand.
Ah Ling was also there telling him what he had asked.
I don't know how much time passed--
Footsteps sounded outside, and when Achen looked up, he saw Amo carrying a tray as she walked in.
after--
A-Ling, feeling awkward, completes the unfinished rituals with A-Chen.
Let's drink from the same cup!
The moment Amo raised her glass, she turned around, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.
…
A few minutes later--
The group came out of the room, and Ah Chen walked a little faster!
Ah Ling kept her red lips covered with her jade fingers, her cheeks flushed.
As for Ah Mo, she smiled faintly.
On the front porch, Ah Chen and the others had just finished eating when several large jackals arrived.
"Ah Chen, the secret elixir you prepared has been stored away. Here is the key."
