Chapter 72
Que Mingren was in the front yard, served with the Yue family's fine tea, and even a teacher came to keep him company.
But he couldn't be happy. Out of curiosity as to why Qingning was taken away alone just now, he called him Uncle Sun and was as respectful and obedient as usual.
Seeing him like this, Sun Bo had no choice but to hide who wanted to see her.
Now, he sat in the front hall, listening to the teacher chattering on about political affairs, but it went in one ear and out the other, and he couldn't help thinking about it.
Why did they have to meet alone? Why did the teacher cooperate with that person in hiding it from him?
What was his relationship with Qingning? Why couldn't even he, her husband, sit in on the trial?
As I thought about it, and with the constant noise in my ears, the chaotic thoughts in my mind became even more tangled like porridge.
He really wanted to stand up, question the teacher, go to the backyard to pull Qingning out, and ask him if there was anything he couldn't say in front of him.
But he couldn't do that. He didn't dare to make the teacher look unhappy, and he didn't want to see embarrassment on her face.
So, he drank bowl after bowl of tea, his legs shaking on the ground, and they shook faster with every passing quarter of an hour.
Minister Yue could see that he cared, but even though he was Qingning's husband now, he had no chance of winning against His Royal Highness Prince Shou.
Prince Shou and Qingning were planning something big, which could not be compared with the little love in his heart.
But after all, she had asked for the person to go in front of her husband, and he was the one who took the person away personally. Seeing that diverting attention was not enough, Minister Yue was also shaking his legs on the side, praying that Qingning would come back quickly, otherwise he would not be able to stay any longer.
It was unknown how long it had passed, but the master and disciple had said everything they could, and the teapot on Que Ming's side was emptied. Yue Qingning finally came out from the backyard and came to the front to find her husband.
When Que Ming saw her stand up in an instant, he didn't even ask his teacher a question. He had already moved to her side, and his tall and slender figure completely covered her in front of him.
"You look so unhappy, but is there something bad going on?"
He wanted to ask more than that, but he didn't know how to ask it without making her angry.
Yue Qingning glanced at him, and the hesitation on his face was like a sharp blade that pierced his heart.
He wondered if Qingning regretted it?
Could it be that Prince Shou said he wanted to be interested in her, so she regretted marrying him...
Thinking of this, Que Ming's face turned extremely gray, which made his good looks look lifeless. His eyes, which were obsessed with love, seemed frozen in the air. If the room was any hotter, they would probably melt.
Yue Qingning also saw his expression, but she had no thoughts of love at all, so she didn't think about what he was worried about.
She only knew that she had to tell him, but not now, as this would make him even more upset when he was already in a bad mood.
She thought that after some time, when he was in a good mood, she would make some preparations for him indirectly. Then he might be more rational. Besides, she still needed to investigate further. Without solid evidence, she didn't want Que Ming to blindly harbor hatred.
The two said goodbye to their parents and got in the car to rush home. Que Ming didn't say a word along the way, as if he was angry at her and the whole family for hiding the secret.
Yue Qingning was also very sad and felt sorry for him, so she wanted him to be happy before he knew the truth, so she shook his sleeves and shouted.
"Master Xiaoyue..."
Que Ming's anger had mostly subsided when he heard her soft call, but he still wanted to hear the soft Wu dialect again, so he deliberately did not respond to this sentence.
Seeing that he was so tough and had a lot of things on his mind, Yue Qingning didn't bother him anymore.
"Master Xiaoyue" seemed to be even angrier after not hearing what he wanted to hear for a long time, but this time he was angry with himself. Why didn't he just give up? After all the excitement just now, he had no way out now.
Maybe there won’t be a bed for him to sleep in later!
Que Ming became more and more disgusted with his dark and spoiled nature. Before he even got the young lady's favor, he started to act on his own.
After returning to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, he was frightened for a while. After dinner, Qingning didn't ask him to move out to sleep. It was not until he actually lay in bed that he felt at ease.
Yue Qingning couldn't sleep either. She tossed and turned for a while, and suddenly reached out to touch him to see if he was asleep.
But just as she made a move, her wrist was grabbed. Que Ming's eyes were as sharp as torches, and his dark pupils seemed to be a mirror reflecting the starlight in the dark night, and they were particularly bright when he saw her.
"What's wrong?"
He asked, with a somewhat hidden anticipation.
But Yue Qingning pulled back her hand, snuggled into the quilt, and whispered.
"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."
She rolled herself into a ball and came to his side. Que Ming lifted the quilt to cover her, but found that she was holding herself too tightly and he couldn't touch her anywhere, so he had to give up.
He asked, "If you have anything to say, say it now! I'm listening."
He really didn't want to hear her say anything about Prince Shou and their meeting, but she finally wanted to talk to him, and he couldn't refuse her.
Yue Qingning also noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked him in a roundabout way.
"I heard a story from a storybook."
Que Ming thought, Prince Shou was actually still talking to her, even though he hadn't even talked to her to that point yet!
Yue Qingning continued, "There's a hero in the storybook who carries a deep blood feud. He's fought his way through all the obstacles and is finally about to reach the critical moment, but his wife tells him that his entire family's feud was actually caused by another group. They even used him without knowing the truth."
At this point, she hesitated. This tragic story, even if told under the cover of a storybook, was still so tragic that she was reluctant to listen to his answer.
But she didn't ask, but Que Ming quickly understood what she meant.
"Qingning wants to say, shouldn't his wife tell the truth?"
Yue Qingning was speechless. She was shocked that he knew her so well, and also afraid that he had guessed something from it.
But Que Ming didn't seem to have too many doubts about this story. He said, "I think it would be cruel not to let him know the truth. Letting him be controlled by his enemies for the rest of his life is the real fault."
"But if he knew the truth, he would seek revenge, and if he did, he would surely die!"
As she spoke, she mixed some of her own emotions into her words. Que Ming looked at her meaningfully, turned around to face her, and touched the top of her slightly cool head.
"That's also a kind of relief. People trapped in hatred don't want to live in obscurity, but to get revenge quickly. Even if it means death, it's worth it."
As a result, Yue Qingning could no longer speak.
She had to admit that Que Ming was right. If it were her, she would also take revenge.
In the three years since she came back, she has been tormenting Que Ming a lot for revenge. She actually doesn't want to let her continue to be ignorant of the truth.
Her enemy is Xiao Yan. He killed her once and harmed her twice. She will not let Xiao Yan go so easily in this life.
As for Que Ming, since he already knew that his enemy was the Qingyuan Marquis family, the two of them were brothers in life and death. With her help, she could guarantee that she would protect Que Ming, and the two of them would work together to achieve their goals.
The fear that was deep in her bones seemed to be melted by him at this moment. Yue Qingning looked up at the ceiling of the bed, and the lacquered surface of the bed seemed to reflect their shadows.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she said, "Queming, do you know who harmed me?"
Que Ming replied: "Prince."
She chuckled and asked again.
"You will help me get revenge on him, right?"
After a long silence, Yue Qingning thought he had fallen asleep due to tiredness and wanted to touch his face again.
Que Ming grabbed her wrist, put his face in her palm, and exhaled a long breath.
"Don't worry, no matter who it is. Whether it's Xiao Yan or the emperor, as long as you want, I will help you!"
His slightly hot breath sprayed on the palm of her hand, bringing an almost scorching touch. Yue Qingning tried to hold back and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Que Ming held her hand tightly, interlocking their fingers, and closed his eyes, as if he wanted to hold her like this to sleep.
Yue Qingning moved again and just turned over, he took advantage of the force of both her hands being clamped by him to come up to her from behind, hugged her and didn't move anymore.
She blinked in surprise and found that the quilt on her back had disappeared without her knowing, and her back was pressed tightly against his chest.
And his heartbeat was thumping, each beat getting more intense than the last.
How could such a person like Que Ming be willing to be the prince's subject? She thought about it over and over again but could not find any reason for him to submit to her. Moreover, with the hatred that could not be forgotten even in life or death, it was impossible for Que Ming to be willing.
She became sleepy in the sound of her heartbeats, yawned quietly, and the messy thoughts in her mind gradually became blurred.
When she fell asleep, Que Ming, who was still in a light sleep, opened his eyes. He stared at her fair and tender profile for a long time. It took him a long time to muster up the courage, quietly approached, and gently kissed her.
This time, he overstepped his bounds because he was unhappy today.
He is much bolder today, but it is also because of his toughness that he can gain temporary closeness.
In this way, the things that made him angry were over, but only this time. Next time, he must stand by her side.
Que Ming secretly made up his mind. The next morning, when he got up, he was still relaxed and at ease with the two of them cuddling together. They got up from the same quilt with their clothes disheveled, which made Qingzhu, who had just come in, mistakenly think that they had really done something.
He was so happy that he started calling Xiao Yue "Master" again.
Que Ming could never guess a woman's mind, and he didn't understand what his position was with Qingzhu.
I was in a hurry to go to work today and didn't have time to ask more questions.
Since Yue Qingning got married, she no longer had to serve her parents-in-law or establish authority in front of the servants. Her life was better than when she was at home.
After Que Ming left, he told her not to get up, saying that everyone in the mansion was surrounded by his close followers and no one dared to talk about her.
I don’t have to worry about food or clothing, and my husband loves and cares for me so much. My life is really as happy as that of a god.
However, after lying down for a while, Yue Qingning suddenly asked someone to change her clothes. She still had something to do. Although this matter was smaller than that of Prince Shou and Que Ming, it was something she wanted to do after all.
Qingzhu had no choice but to help her get dressed and go to the study. Once she entered the study, she did not come out all day until the master finished his shift and returned home in the evening. Then the lady came out of the study mysteriously and asked her to help hide a note.
