Qingyue's pupils shrank slightly, and a sharp look flashed across her clear almond eyes. "Qin Ningyue, what did you say?"
As soon as Qin Ningyue saw Qingyue's knife-like gaze, she knew that Qin Wan thought very badly of her. She let out a breath and said, "Now the Qin family has become a joke in the whole capital. You know, my father is furious and wants me to find Feng Ling and marry him as a concubine..."
Qin Ningyue's cheeks turned slightly red, as if it was difficult to say.
Qingyue didn't expect Qin Ningyue to say this. This time, her eyes finally fell on her with some deep meaning. She looked at Qin Ningyue and wondered what her purpose was in saying this.
"Qin Wan, I know what I did in the past was wrong. Although I saved Prince Yu's life, he has already repaid the favor. Now that I know that you and Prince Yu are in love, how can I possibly get close to you?"
Qin Ningyue bit her lip, her eyes were red, as if she was trying her best to endure it.
Qingyue frowned even tighter. Why couldn't she understand Qin Ningyue anymore? Was this still the Qin Ningyue who was aloof and proud, with high aspirations?
She had not forgotten that just two months ago, she had personally run to Prince Yu's mansion, laid on Feng Ling's knees, and said that she was willing to marry A Ling as a concubine.
Did you suddenly realize this?
Qin Ningyue pretended not to notice Qingyue's suspicion. She bit her lip and said, as if it was difficult for her to speak, "You should already know almost everything about Prince Yu and me. Back then, in order to save the prince, I gave up my innocence..."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Wan's expression, which didn't seem to reveal any contempt, sarcasm or anger, so it was certain that Qin Wan didn't know what happened four years ago. It seemed that for Qing Yue at the time, this matter was also difficult to talk about, so she didn't tell anyone?
"Can you finish what you want to say in one breath?"
Qin Wan's tone was a little annoyed. What innocent body? These four words were really unpleasant to her ears. She didn't like to hear them and felt very depressed at the moment.
"I wanted to marry Yang Qi, the legitimate son of the Fengtian Prefecture Governor, but my father didn't allow it. He not only beat me but also confined me. I lied to him today and said I was going to see A Ling... Prince Yu, and only then did my father allow me to be released. So I can only come to you, Qin Wan. Your current status is too high for me to marry. As for Prince Yu, I have also seen clearly that I have no chance anymore.
But you also know my situation. I have been delayed because of my previous engagement. As I get older, the good young men from aristocratic families will not choose me after weighing the pros and cons. Now my father is going against my wishes, and I don’t want to offend you and Prince Yu again. Now I am in a dilemma and the only way is to get married. Yang Qi has liked me for many years, so I am thinking of marrying him.
But my father disagrees, so I came to you to ask for an imperial decree from the palace to grant me marriage, so that my father can't do anything to me."
Qin Ningyue said a lot of things in one breath, which surprised Qingyue.
She never expected that Qin Ningyue would make such a request. She always felt that the Qin Ningyue she knew was not such a person.
But Qin Ningyue didn't need to tell such a lie in front of her. What was her purpose? Unless she was telling the truth.
Qin Hongzhang is so shameless.
"Have you thought it through?"
Qing Yue asked tentatively with some disbelief.
"right."
Qin Ningyue said.
"Okay, I'll tell A Ling about this and he'll make the decision."
Qing Yuedao.
She didn't care what Qin Ningyue was planning, but since she had said this, she wouldn't agree directly. However, she would tell A Ling about it and see what he would do.
"Thanks."
The next moment, Qin Ningyue said thank you in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that you would be the only one I could ask for help in the end, Qin Wan. I'm very sorry for hurting you before, but you are indeed lucky to have the Wushuang Elder as your master, learn medical skills from him, and even save Qing Yue from the Qing family by chance. If it weren't for you this time, the true face of the adopted daughter of the Qing family would probably still not be revealed."
Qin Ningyue sighed, her tone sounding melancholy and depressed.
Finally, she changed the subject and suddenly asked, "Qin Wan, is Qing Yue, the legitimate daughter of the Qing family, really still alive?"
Qing Yue's eyes flashed and fell on Qin Ningyue's face. She tilted her head slightly, and a strand of hair fell down, covering the color in her eyes.
"Why do you ask that?"
Qing Yuedao.
"Nothing, just asking. What happened that day was so shocking and jarring to me. Although I wasn't close to the daughter of the Qing family, I admired her immensely. She was an extremely intelligent and unrestrained woman, like the blazing sun. I felt deeply saddened that she had encountered such a tragic event.
And Prince You... He had been deceived for so many years, and once he learned the truth, the pain was so painful that it made him cry. So I want to know if Qing Yue from the Qing family is still alive? If she is, that would be really great..."
Qin Ningyue sighed softly, with redness in the corners of her eyes, and she looked as if she was really missing Qingyue.
Qing Yue pursed her lips even tighter. Had she ever been familiar with Qin Ningyue? They definitely weren't, or even had no connection at all. Deep down, they disliked each other. She couldn't stand Qin Ningyue's pretentiousness, and Qin Ningyue couldn't stand her unruly behavior. Whenever they met, they wouldn't look at each other, neither of them paying any attention to the other, knowing full well what was going on.
So at this moment, Qin Ningyue looked like she missed her, but it was a pity for her... This look was a bit incongruous.
But then again, Qin Ningyue gave her a sense of incongruity from beginning to end today.
"have no idea."
Qing Yue threw down three words coldly.
She didn't like Qin Ningyue in the first place, so was there any need to say more to her?
The corner of Qin Ningyue's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. "Third sister, if I have done anything wrong in the past, I hope you can forgive me. Every word I said today is sincere. I just feel that you are now the adopted daughter of the Qing family, so I asked you with extra concern. I have no other intentions.
Whether it's Qingyue or you, I actually hope you're all well."
Qing Yue shuddered, chilled by Qin Ningyue's words.
The relationship between them is not that good, and they have never spoken to each other in a calm and peaceful manner from before to now.
Qing Yue pursed her lips. She always felt that something was wrong with Qin Ningyue. It was not her conspiracy theory, but mainly because she was not very easy to trust people nowadays. She believed that if someone who had been so hostile to her suddenly became nice, her attitude would change drastically and she would pretend to reconcile. There must be a purpose behind this.
A light bulb went off in her head, and something flashed through her mind quickly. Qing Yue suddenly asked, "Do you really want to know if Qing Yue is still alive?"
Qin Ningyue's heart skipped a beat as she quickly recalled everything she had said. Where had she let out a flaw that had caused Qin Wan to suspect her? However, she didn't know what had happened in the teahouse four years ago, and whether she had any grudge against Qingyue.
After a pause, she raised her eyes and said, "I do want to know, just out of concern."
"So do you want her alive or dead?"
Qingyue narrowed her eyes and asked again.
Qin Ningyue was stunned, thinking, of course I hope she dies, but she said, "Of course I hope she lives."
"Oh... then let me thank you on Qingyue's behalf?..."
