15 Heartbreak
◎Anyway, I’m not in love with anyone else◎
Madam Wei had one foot on the riding stool. Seeing the culprit who had caused her daughter's unhappiness, she immediately withdrew her foot and ordered Wang Xing, "Stop him!"
"Madam Wei..." Yan Qi was being blocked by Wang Xing's outstretched arms. "I have something to say to Zi Yan."
"What else is there to say?" Madam Wei pulled her daughter behind her. "Have you ever thought of Ziyan when you were having fun out there?"
"I--"
He originally wanted to explain to Wei Ziyan in private, but after seeing this scene, Yan Qizhen didn't bother to explain in front of others.
"Madam Wei, the Chunzhiyunuan incident was a misunderstanding. Shouzhong and I were just pretending that day and drank some wine. We didn't do anything else outrageous."
"Pretending?" Mrs. Wei wouldn't believe it. "Who are you pretending for?"
“…”
It was difficult to bring it up, so Yan Qi hesitated and looked behind Madam Wei. Wei Ziyan's face was half exposed, and her dark eyes looked at him dimly.
That’s all! Yan Qizheng made up his mind.
"Zi Yan and I have been sulking for many days, and I really can't figure out what she's thinking. So I put on a show with Shou Zhong, went into Lan Ting Fang, and sent someone to deliver a letter to Zi Yan, hoping to see if she would get as nervous as before and rush over to stop me..."
This statement was so unexpected that it almost made everyone drop their jaws.
Qiu Luo and Wang Xing's mouths were wide open, almost enough to fit an egg in. Wei Ziyan was stunned, and Madam Wei was also completely surprised.
Yan Qizheng gritted his teeth and continued to speak in one breath: "This is truly absurd, so I came here today to explain and apologize to Ziyan."
"Who knows what's true and what's false?" Mrs. Wei came back to her senses, and her tone was not as harsh as before.
"Qi Zheng swears that everything he said is true and he is not making any excuses for himself."
At this point, Mrs. Wei almost no longer had any doubts.
After all, I have watched the boy from the Yan family grow up since he was a child, and I still quite trust his character.
Although such tentative behavior is indeed absurd, it is naturally much less serious than actually pursuing prostitutes.
Mrs. Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her cold expression softened a little.
"Yan'er?" She held her daughter's hand and now wanted to see what her daughter thought.
Wei Ziyan's refusal to marry out of spite also gave her a headache, she couldn't keep dragging it on indefinitely.
The person who tied the bell must untie it. Now is a good time. If the two of them can clarify the misunderstanding, their daughter will no longer be depressed.
Mrs. Wei did not say these words, but Zi Yan understood what her mother meant.
Not far away, Yan Qizheng was also watching her. He certainly wasn't here to burn incense. He had probably already been to the Wei Mansion and had followed her here after hearing what the gatekeeper had said.
Even if I find an excuse to avoid it today, what should I do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
She didn't want to continue making up lies, and she couldn't do it anymore.
After getting to this point, she is really tired.
"Mom, why don't you go back first?" Wei Ziyan made a secret decision.
Madam Wei showed a trace of relief and told Yan Qizheng: "Then I will leave Yan'er to you and send her back later."
Yan Qizheng quickly clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, Madam Wei, for your help."
The carriage drove away, and only Yan Qizheng was left beside Wei Ziyan.
Thinking that she was about to confess everything, she couldn't help but become nervous, and Yan Qizhen saw her twisting the handkerchief in her hands.
"The weather is nice today, why don't we go for a walk in the back mountains? There are fewer people there."
Not knowing whether she was nervous and shy, or uncomfortable, Yan Qizhen tried his best to appear gentle.
Xuanyi Temple, built midway up the mountain, is a bustling destination, attracting a constant stream of pilgrims. The back of the mountain, however, is less popular and offers a tranquil and picturesque setting. Lush greenery blankets the mountain, and wildflowers bloom beneath the shade of the trees.
Wei Ziyan followed Yan Qizhen silently, without any leisurely elegance of climbing a mountain to enjoy the scenery.
Deciding to confess was one thing, but how to begin was another. She was trying to figure out how to explain the situation, but she couldn't find any clues no matter how hard she tried.
As long as she tells the truth, there will be another storm.
Fortunately, Yan Qizhen didn't really want to marry her. He only wanted to repay her for her kindness, so he would probably just get angry and then it would be over.
But he is always fierce when he gets angry, and you don’t know what he will do when he gets angry?
That day in the cherry forest, she had seen him kill someone...
Wei Ziyan's mind was full of random thoughts, and suddenly she bumped into something that was a little hard but not too hard, and had the smell of body temperature and incense.
There was a hazy cold white in front of her eyes, she came to her senses and quickly stepped back.
Yan Qi turned around, his inquiring gaze fixed on her face. Afraid that he would ask why she had bumped into him, Wei Ziyan spoke first, "Why did you suddenly stop leaving?"
I don't know if Yan Qizheng noticed anything, but he pointed to the side and said, "I want to ask you, do you want to rest here?"
Following the direction he pointed, a pavilion caught her eye, and Wei Ziyan said to herself, "No wonder."
The pavilion was close to the cliff, and just two steps away was a deep valley. Sitting here, one could have a panoramic view of the mountain scenery behind, but Wei Ziyan leaned over to take a look and immediately shrank back in fright.
This place is really dangerous! What if we get into an argument and accidentally fall off the cliff?
Wei Ziyan was frightened and turned around to see Yan Qi wiping the dust off the stone bench with a handkerchief. After wiping the bench, he wiped the stone table and gestured for her to sit down.
"……Thanks."
It was rare to hear her thank him, and her soft voice sounded particularly subtle - it seemed like the first time they had been so polite to each other.
Looking at her sitting there with a docile look on her face, Yan Qizhen felt that, in fact, as long as she put away her willful and unreasonable habits, she would still be very likable.
When I was a child, I was spoiled. I had to get whatever I wanted, and if I couldn’t get it, I would snatch it away. It was very annoying.
Knowing she was the only daughter in the family, he had tried to be tolerant, thinking she would grow up to be sensible. However, he did not expect that after she grew up, she not only did not grow up, but also became more willful and capricious.
Yan Qizheng couldn't help but imagine that if she had been so gentle and virtuous from the beginning, he might have married her long ago...
The two of them had their own thoughts and looked at the distant scenery across the stone table. No one spoke.
The day is clear and the sunshine is warm.
From time to time, a mountain breeze blew by, and occasionally tits chirped and chased each other from one forest to another branch.
"I have something to say..."
"I have something to say..."
The two of them suddenly spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.
Yan Qizheng smiled softly: "You speak first."
Wei Ziyan held her breath and thought for a moment, but she was still hesitant and couldn't say it.
"You should speak first."
She would wait and hear what he had to say, and then act accordingly.
Yan Qizhen looked at her and smiled again. Why was he still being polite?
Well, let him go first.
Yan Qizheng cleared his throat and said, "What I said just now was the truth. I only drank alcohol and didn't do anything else out of the ordinary. Please don't mind it."
Perhaps fearing she might still be misunderstanding, he emphasized it again. Wei Ziyan naturally replied, "It's okay. I don't take it to heart."
Yan Qizhen was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect her to be so magnanimous.
Could it be that he is still angry and speaking in a sarcastic way?
"During the time when you were recuperating, I was unable to visit you often and neglected to care for you. It was my fault." Yan Qizhen continued.
"If you are sad, you can vent your anger on me now. There is no one else here anyway."
"I'm not sad."
"Oh, then who made me swear to heaven that there can be no other women?" Yan Qizhen turned his head.
“…”
"You deliberately took up the oath to make things difficult for me. If you are not angry, what else could it be?" Yan Qi was looking straight at her, his amber eyes clear and bright.
"I still say the same thing, I will treat you sincerely."
"I have indeed made many mistakes in the past, but after we get married, I will never let you suffer those grievances again. If you are not holding a grudge against me, I will go to your house tomorrow to ask your father for marriage."
Tomorrow? Wei Ziyan's heart suddenly tightened.
"You asked me to swear an oath, and I can do it now." Yan Qizheng raised his right hand, "God, I am Yan Qizheng..."
“No, no!” Wei Ziyan hurriedly grabbed the hand he had sworn with.
The coolness of her fingertips and the warmth of Yan Qizheng's palm combined, creating a strange and sensitive touch. Wei Ziyan realized she had lost her composure and hastily retracted her hand.
"I...what about swearing? I just made it up..."
Yan Qizheng's hand was suspended in the air, a smile on his lips: "Then I don't need to swear?"
Wei Ziyan lowered her head and remained silent, neither shaking her head nor nodding.
"You're not angry anymore?" Yan Qizheng continued to ask, "Then tomorrow..."
"About the marriage proposal..." Wei Ziyan hurriedly continued, "Can you wait a little longer?"
"Why?"
"I, I'm so confused..."
chaos?
Yan Qizheng thought of Wei Tingzhou: "Is it because you have someone else in your heart?"
Wei Ziyan felt a sudden chill down her spine. How did he know that?
Her face was full of surprise, and in Yan Qizhen's eyes, he interpreted it as the surprise and guilt of having her thoughts guessed.
"Sure enough..." He smiled coldly, "What's so good about Wei Tingzhou?"
“…”
Wei, Wei Tingzhou?
Wei Ziyan was shocked again. What does it have to do with him?
ah……
Could it be that when she and Wei Tingzhou came out of the Eastern Palace together that day, they were misunderstood by Yan Qizhen?
"If you really like him, we can just cancel our engagement."
“…”
"But if you use this as an excuse to lie to me..." Yan Qizhen's expression suddenly became somewhat sinister, and his deep voice seemed to contain a sharp warning.
He clenched his fist and placed it on the stone table with a fierce look: "I will never give up!"
“…”
The hairs on Wei Ziyan's back stood on end and her chest was pounding.
While feeling fortunate that he had not hastily confessed the truth, he was also wondering how true his previous statement, "Our engagement is over," was.
If she can cancel the engagement if she likes Wei Tingzhou, then is it also okay if she likes someone else?
But when her gaze fell back on the frightening fist in front of her, Wei Ziyan felt that those were probably just nice words.
Which man can tolerate a woman cheating on him during the period of marriage?
"Why aren't you talking?" Yan Qizhen leaned forward slightly, his conspicuous fist closer to her.
Wei Ziyan subconsciously leaned back and quickly clarified, "You misunderstood... I have nothing to do with Master Wei, so how could I like him?"
"oh?"
"Really! I just happened to meet him in the palace that day."
"I think so too." Yan Qizhen straightened his body and finally retracted his fist.
"Then why are you so upset?"
Wei Ziyan had just taken a breath when her breathing became tight again.
The mountain breeze blew, and a few birds swooped down from the sky and flew straight to the bottom of the valley.
"That's it..." She was really scared.
What if Yan Qizhen gets so angry after knowing the truth that he throws her down from here in anger?
"I'm getting married suddenly, I'm not ready yet..." Wei Ziyan was scared.
I should find another suitable opportunity to confess to him, not here, where we are alone.
"Give me some time to rest for three days! I'll give you an answer in three days, okay?"
Others have to wait several days before getting news about their marriage, so Yan Qizhen didn't find it strange.
They had been engaged since childhood by their parents, and today was the first time he had personally proposed. The girl had to be reserved, and even if she said she wasn't ready, it wasn't impossible for him to accompany her for a bit.
Anyway, I'm not in love with anyone else.
"Okay." Yan Qizhen agreed immediately.

Flower Demon
The Prime Minister's daughter is so beautiful, with tender white flesh, that the flower demon wants to eat her at the first sight.
But the elder said we have to wait, otherwise if we eat it now, we will bleed from all seven orifices.
After waiting for countless days and nights, the flower demon finally couldn't resist and took a bite. In an instant, her nose bled...
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Don't be afraid, you're cute."
When she was little, she liked to pinch his ears and follow him around.
Once, she burned her throat and coughed up blood every time she ate, which just happened to spray on his face.
Human blood...
He liked to smell her scent, which was different from the floral scent on him and was sweet and greasy.
Later he liked to cuddle with her and lick her mouth.
He was addicted to the feeling.
One time, he was so horny that he couldn't help but put his tongue into her mouth. In that instant, he felt like he was possessed and his blood was boiling.
The elder told him that this was lust.
He missed her so much that he felt uncomfortable all over, and broke into her bedroom without thinking.
"Let me feed you, okay?"
No, she said only married people could do that.
"Then let's get married."
You don't even know what marriage is.
You like me now because I am young. When I am old and become a withered old woman, will you still like me?
The flower demon went to ask the elder, and the elder told him that it was an emotional barrier and that humans and demons could not get married.
One day, people will grow old, die, be buried in the soil, and turn into a pile of bones.
The flower demon saw the illusion and was heartbroken.
The flower demon has no heart, but she curls up into a ball in pain.
"Elder...can I become a human?"
