"oh?"
Xia Ziyu's smile did not diminish. He hugged Shen Lianqing and sat down on the stool. He followed Cui Lan's words and said a few words to Shen Lianqing, "These are really the snacks that Mr. Cui put his effort into, Peony." How can you be so ignorant!"
He still likes to call her Peony, which seems to be a reproach but is actually a declaration of sovereignty.
Shen Lianqing also lay on his chest and apologized pitifully, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Please help Mudan and ask Mr. Cui for forgiveness."
She focused on Xia Ziyu both inside and outside her words, which greatly satisfied Xia Ziyu's vanity.
He pressed her spine happily, smiled and said to Cui Lan, "Mudan is ignorant, I'm really sorry, Mr. Cui."
They sang in harmony.
What else can Cui Lan do?
Of course I forgive them.
He hit his head with a folding fan and said helplessly, "You've caused me so much trouble, forget it. I owe you a bag, just pay me back another day."
Once a bag is delivered to your hand, the problem is solved. Who cares who fried the melon seeds?
Xia Ziyu kissed the person in her arms, and the intimate voice fell into her ears, "Mudan, you haven't thanked Mr. Cui yet."
Shen Lianqing raised her head from his arms, blinked at Cui Lan, opened and closed her red lips, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cui."
"Tsk." Cui Lan's eyes deepened, and he waved his hand and walked out of the room.
After he left, only Xia Ziyu and Shen Lianqing were left here. Xia Ziyu lifted her chin with his finger and said in a cold tone, "You and Cui Lan had a good time chatting, right?"
Shen Lianqing was surprised, "Isn't Mr. Cui the prince who came to persuade me? Why is Mudan not happy to hear that the prince has died?"
"Ah."
Although Xia Ziyu knew what was going on, he was still very unhappy. She was so sincere towards everyone but was just fooling him.
How much of the smile on this face is fake?
He wasn't happy and didn't want the people around him to be happy. He pointed his finger and Shen Lianqing's eyes widened suddenly, "Shi...Shizi..."
Xia Ziyu lowered her eyelashes, biting a corner, and a bright red flashed at the end of her eyes, "I gave it to you, bear with it."
The table was cold and the couch was not soft. Unfortunately, the night was extremely long.
Shen Lianqing woke up the next day, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon modern time. She rubbed her waist and remembered in a daze that one day when she was in Xunfang Pavilion, she thought the male protagonist had given her medicine.
That trace, that feeling, is no different from now.
Her arms were exposed from the quilt to support her head, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, so the male protagonist really did this to her from then on?
But isn’t he bad at this in the plot?
She looked up at the red gauze curtain, sensing danger.
That chaos.
Counting on your fingers, there’s still one month left.
After that night, she never saw Cui Lan again, nor did Xia Ziyu, and other smiles could not reach her ears.
She really became a canary.
This is not possible. The prerequisite for her to complete the task is to be free. Even if the male protagonist Xia Ziyu is willing to accept her and give her a child who was very honorable in ancient times, it will not work.
One month.
Half a month.
Ten days.
Three days.
one day.
Shen Lianqing tinkered with her rouge and gouache all day long. In ancient times, there was the art of disguise, and in modern times, there was the magic of makeup. As a beauty-loving oiran, she was bored and discovered how to change her appearance when she was bored with makeup. It makes sense, right?
The night before the chaos, she slowly put on her underwear, sat by the window, stuffed a small box of things into her clothes and waited for the moment when the time came.
According to her character, she didn't know about the chaos, so what she was waiting for was not the chaos, but the promise she encountered from Lao Lao, whom she felt owed and guilty about.
At twelve o'clock at midnight, she put on her clothes and opened the door. The fire was blazing and people were buzzing outside. Someone knew that important people were surrounding Xia Ziyu.
This was her opportunity.
Shen Lianqing straightened her posture and even walked a little faster than usual. There was someone protecting her behind her, and it was Xia Ziyu's person.
After leaving the courtyard, Xia Ziyu was followed by others who were hostile to him.
They kept on going.
On the way from this courtyard to another place, she met Axiang, who had been following her but had no news after Xia Ziyu took her away.
Axiang held her hand tightly in the carriage to avoid her leaving.
Shen Lianqing took a step closer to her and touched her cheek with her fingers. Her breath was filled with the pleasure of being freed from the shackles. She said, "Axiang, are you willing to go with me?"
Axiang seemed to know something. She was surprised and asked Shen Lianqing, "Miss, are you leaving the capital?"
Shen Lianqing smiled, "Prince Xia must have sent you here."
Axiang was silent. Indeed, the big man seemed to have guessed Miss Shen's thoughts, but even when he couldn't get away, he still set up many obstacles for her to leave.
She is just one part of it.
Shen Lianqing sighed, his fox eyes reflected her childish face, and he said with infinite emotion, "Then since you know, you know that I have made up my mind. Now that Prince Xia cannot protect himself, he will definitely not be able to stop me. Are you willing to join me?" Are you leaving?"
She was right, Xia Ziyu Ming was indeed weak on the surface, but as the male protagonist, how could he have no backup plan? These were all his disguises, and later he defeated all his enemies in one fell swoop.
A Xiang thought carefully and finally shook her head.
"Why?"
Shen Lianqing didn't understand very well. She was a little girl who had no one to rely on in the capital. Even if she followed her out of the brothel now, she had almost no ability to make a living.
How does she survive?
Who knows.
Axiang said to her, "Miss, thank you. I know you helped me a lot. You took me away because you wanted to give me a chance to live a new life."
She is fifteen this year. She is already married at the same age. How could she not understand her words?
But, "Axiang was born and raised in the capital. Even if the capital is in chaos, Axiang just wants to die in the capital."
"You are leaving, Axiang wishes you a safe journey."
Shen Lianqing laughed. It seemed that she had miscalculated. She thought she could get a heartfelt little expert like other time-traveling girls!
She was overthinking it.
She took out a banknote from her sleeve and stuffed it into her arms. She rubbed Axiang's head and raised her red lips with a smile. "Thank you. I also wish you a good life in the capital."
"Yeah." Axiang nodded with tears in her eyes, released her hand, opened the curtain of the carriage, turned to her and said, "Miss, you can get off the car when the place is here."
I don’t know how she escaped, but Axiang was willing to treat herself as a blind and deaf person who could not see or hear anything because of this kindness.
Shen Lianqing, dressed in blue and black clothes, went out at the last moment when the city gate closed.
Everyone outside was already waiting for her, and their hearts finally relaxed when they saw her.
She stepped forward and grabbed Shen Lianqing tightly. She twisted her brows, destroying her lotus-like elegance, "Why did you come here!"
