Meng Zhao stayed in Fushui Town for several days. He couldn't bear to disrupt Qingying's peaceful life. He often secretly stared at her in the dark, but he didn't dare to go up to her to recognize her.

After Qingying left the Meng family, she changed completely. She became more cheerful. Unlike when she was in the Meng family, she had to abide by the rules every day and bow and nod when she saw the master in the mansion.

Now, she sits on the stall selling cakes. Everyone who comes forward to inquire, whether they buy or not, she will greet with a smile.

Meng Zhao can see that she is laughing from the heart, not to flatter anyone.

Setting up a stall to sell cakes, getting up early and working late, exposed to the wind and sun, it is so hard, but she is happy in her heart. It is much more comfortable than being his concubine in the mansion.

Meng Zhao couldn't bear to destroy such a beautiful Qingying,

and he was willing to give her freedom. Although this result was painful for him, he was willing to help her.

Qingying came to the market to sell cakes every day, and Meng Zhao would go to see her every day, but one day, she didn't come, and let Lin Heng carry the cakes to sell.

Meng Zhao waited until noon, but Qingying didn't show up.

Fearing that something had happened to Qingying, Meng Zhao went to the house in the alley to see what was going on.

When he got there, it was already Weishi.

In winter, the afternoon sun is warm and gentle, which makes people feel drowsy.

After Qingying made the cakes this morning, she was going to set up a stall at the market.

It was just that the baby in her belly was a little restless. After she finished breakfast, she had morning sickness again and kept vomiting.

Seeing that she was not feeling well, Lin Heng advised her to rest at home while he picked out the cakes to sell. Qingying

also felt that she was not in good condition today, so she did not go to the market.

After lunch, she was basking in the sun under the big tree in the yard. After a while, she felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in the rocking chair.

When Meng Zhao climbed up the wall, he saw this scene.

The beautiful girl was lying in the rocking chair with her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.

The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto her fair cheeks, making her delicate skin look even whiter.

She was like a sleeping beauty in a painting, and Meng Zhao's breath was stagnant.

After a while, he leaped into the yard. When he landed, he pulled back his feet and didn't make much noise.

Meng Zhao walked to the big tree very lightly. He bent down and looked at the sleeping girl tenderly.

She was so pretty. Even when she was asleep, her little face was still so charming.

Meng Zhao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Qingying's fair cheeks. Then, he couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

Qing's father, Qing's mother and Lin Heng's parents all went to work in a dyeing workshop two miles away. Only Qingying and Qinghe were at home. Qinghe

was playing in the house. He walked out of the yard and wanted to call Qingying in to play with him.

When he came out, he saw Meng Zhao kissing Qingying.

Qinghe had met Meng Zhao before and had some impression of him.

But this man who was supposed to be in Anyang City suddenly appeared here, which also frightened Qinghe. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Sister!"

Meng Zhao turned his head to glance at Qinghe. Before Qingying woke up, he quickly walked to the foot of the wall, jumped out.

The speed was so fast that Qinghe thought he was dazzled.

"Sister, sister, wake up." Qinghe ran under the big tree and shook Qingying's arm.

Aoying opened her eyes and slowly woke up. She looked at Qinghe who was screaming and asked in confusion: "Ah He, what happened?"

"Sister, a man was kissing you just now?"

"What man?" Aoying was startled and her sleepiness disappeared immediately. She nervously swept the yard, but did not see the third person. Qinghe

tilted his head and thought for a while, then described: "It was the man who came to our house last time, gave me a golden bag and asked me to call him brother-in-law."

The eldest son?

Qingying was startled, her eyes widened, and she asked hurriedly: "Qinghe, where is that man? Where is he now?" Qinghe

gestured with his hands and said in a baby voice: "As soon as he saw me, he immediately ran to the wall, like a mouse, and slipped out. He ran so fast."

Outside the yard, Meng Zhao's mouth twitched under the wall. This was the first time someone used the word "mouse" to describe him.

Qingying heard it and hurriedly got up to open the door. She walked out and searched around in the alley, but she didn't find Meng Zhao's shadow.
