Chapter 868 Searching (50)

Bai Qingqing took a sip of water, moistened her throat, and continued talking.

"On the day of the Flower Festival, the girl changed her clothes at Qingqing's request and walked around the capital. We wore a beautiful butterfly mask with white feathers on it. We went to see a shadow puppet show. I heard a story about a down-and-out scholar who won the favor of a fairy. The fairy disguised herself as a mortal and became his wife. The scholar in high school wanted to be the prince's consort, but he deceived the princess into not having a wife. The scholar wanted to have a romantic relationship, but the fairy cut off his love and left. The princess I report to Your Majesty that this person has bad moral character..."

"Later, they went to the marriage tree. Qingqing wanted to ask the girl for help in asking for a marriage, but the girl didn't agree. Later, Yan Qing and Yan Ming came, and the girl hid. Yan Qing hung up the marriage sign, and heard someone calling the City God Temple. There was a flood, go and put out the fire. In the chaos, the girl took down the wooden sign hung by Yan Qing, put it in her arms, and went to the Chenghuang Temple to save people. The girl was not afraid of danger. She went around and demolished a door. , rushed in, and threw out those who couldn't leave. After rescuing the people, the girl quietly left again and jumped into the river to relieve the heat on her body. The portrait was painted that day."

"After that, there was nothing to talk about. They were just talking to each other in secret, investigating cases, and killing some bad guys. When the day came when Qingqing could take control of her body, she was leaving. Before leaving, she went to see the person she loved. At a glance, ten jars of different wines were buried in the courtyard."

"Master Marquis, I have finished telling this story. In the following decades, Qingqing never met her again. As she said, there is no such person in the world..."

Yan Ming's eyes flashed: "You old lady, you're not bad at telling stories."

Bai Qingqing didn't care much. At her current age, there weren't many things she cared about.

She seemed to have thought of something interesting, and there was a glimmer of light in her cloudy eyes, and she said hoarsely: "Master Hou is joking, this is just a made-up story. It's unconstrained and impossible. Just listen to it as a story." Yes, it’s time for me to go.”

Yan Qing held the wooden marriage plaque: "Why doesn't she see me?"

I protected her for two years but never showed up.

Bai Qingqing leaned on crutches and walked tremblingly: "Why do you want to see that Yan Qing?"

"Since she can't take responsibility, why should she mess up her mind? I made my own decision about today's matter, and the Marquis took it as a joke. I just don't want to watch her secretly do many things until the Marquis' time is approaching. Didn't even know."

Yan Ming was very displeased: "What a loud tone, extremely confident."

Yan Ming didn't like this woman very much. The person his brother had been waiting for had never even met her. For this reason, he has never married a wife in his life, and only has one person to keep him warm on cold nights.

Yan Qing looked at the wooden sign and said, "Second brother, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Yan Ming advised: "Third brother, why bother. It's not worth it."

The corners of Yan Qing's eyes were sour: "How can it not be worth it? I have actually waited for this in my life. Now that I know it, I have no regrets."

Yan Ming: "You have been obsessed with your irrelevant ideas all your life, but she is timid and refuses to see you. What is it worth?"

Yan Qing hugged the painting and stood up: "It's not that she doesn't want to see me, it's that she is afraid that I will go with her when she leaves. My second brother feels sorry for me because I have never married a wife in my life and am alone, but I pity her." Without my own body, even if I do many things secretly, I will still be resented by those close to me."
