Xu Qingchen didn't sleep well in the second half of the night. He got up from time to time and peeked outside secretly. Around Yinshi, he saw Qin Zhiyang leaving with two servants. Not long after, the two Hu women also left the room.
Since he stayed here overnight and didn't sleep until morning, it seemed that Qin Zhiyang was quite alert.
Ayahan has recently lost all the vigilance she has developed over the years. Before, she was alone in the world and had to rely on herself for everything. Any disturbance could wake her up. Now having Xu Qingchen with her every night made her feel more at ease, so much so that Xu Qingchen got out of bed several times in the middle of the night without waking her up.
Early the next morning, the two of them came out of the back door of the restaurant. Instead of rushing back to the inn, they found a place to have some breakfast.
Seeing Linghan's increasingly rosy face these days, he suddenly said: "Let's go to Yangzhou when we are done with things here."
Linghan asked: "Aren't you going back to the Thorn Gate? As the leader of the hall, it can't be justified for you to be away for several months at a time, right?"
"My name as the leader of the hall is just that, and I don't have anyone under my command. Miss Li said that she won't do anything to Ye Yu Xiaozhu in a short time, and there is no need for me now when I go back. Besides, I haven't seen my eldest brother and sister-in-law for half a year. Already."
Linghan asked in a low voice: "When I go to Yangzhou this time...do you really want to propose marriage?"
"of course it's true."
"Don't you want to wait for revenge?"
Xu Qingchen looked at the gradually increasing number of people on the street and replied: "Before I met you, I probably only focused on revenge. Now that you are by my side, I have to think more... After arriving in Yangzhou, wait When we meet my eldest brother and sister-in-law, let’s get married.”
These words startled Linghan, and she lost her grip on the naan in her hand and fell to the ground.
"No, isn't it just a marriage proposal?"
Xu Qingchen said seriously: "We're going to get married anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether it's earlier or later. Besides... I don't have any relatives or friends, so I don't have to go around telling each other."
"Then, that, then there's Feng Lan and the others."
"I will write to the Xianrentang in two days. By the time we arrive in Yangzhou, they will have received the news."
"But, the date hasn't been decided yet."
"I don't know my birth date, so just decide when everyone is together. If it doesn't work out, just find a good day that's close to you."
"Why are you so anxious?" Ayahan's premarital phobia suddenly broke out and she became extremely resistant.
Xu Qingchen said solemnly with a grimace, "Silly girl, I don't want to be in such a hurry, but if you think about it carefully, something happened in the middle."
Linghan wondered for a while: "What happened?"
Linghan didn't eat much and had almost eaten just now. Seeing that she still didn't understand, Xu Qingchen hurriedly paid the bill, then picked her up and returned to the inn. The two of them entered the house. Xu Qingchen closed the door and whispered in Linghan's ear: "Why didn't I dare to touch you for so long before?"
When I mentioned this, Ayana became a little angry: "Because you are a piece of cake."
Xu Qingchen sighed and put his hand gently on her belly: "Because I'm really afraid of something happening... Although my eldest brother and sister-in-law tried their best to bring us together, you were pregnant before we got married. With my eldest brother's temper, will you beat me to death?" Me? Let’s finish the work here and go to Yangzhou. It will take two or three months no matter what... If you happened to be infected a few days ago, you will probably be able to see it in your stomach by then. "
When he said this, Ayana realized how naive he was. Ever since she was chased by Xu Qingchen, she found that her brain was becoming less and less used. That is to say, the master died early. If the master was still alive and his old man knew about the two people's mess, no matter how powerful Xu Qingchen was, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the master and senior brother together.
She regretted it very much. Why did she get angry that night?
Ayana hesitated and said: "What, what should I do? What if something really, really happens?"
Xu Qingchen laughed angrily: "I thought you were willing to risk everything and didn't think about cooperation at all? What else can you do? Go back to Yangzhou as soon as possible."
"We can write a letter to Senior Brother now! Ask them to meet us somewhere in the middle
! There is no need to go to Yangzhou! right? This saves a month! "
"Hey... calm down, it's not like something will really happen. Can my sister-in-law's body still be able to withstand the rush?"
Linghan gave up completely and looked at Xu Qingchen helplessly: "Brother Qingchen...if...something happens, will I be laughed at by them?"
Xu Qingchen said with a smile: "You are usually fearless and have many clever ideas. Now you know you are afraid? Weren't you very confident when you taught me a lesson that night? Aren't you these past few nights..."
Ayana covered his mouth: "Don't say it!"
Xu Qingchen took Linghan's hand away: "Don't worry, it's a good thing if something happens. No one will laugh at you. When we get to Yangzhou and get married, you can live with your eldest brother and sister-in-law. Don't come back to Jingji with me." The door is open."
"Why?"
"The night I chased you, Yang Fan told me that you might have decided to die with me. At that time, I felt that I understood your intention, and I would accept you even if we had to die together in the future. But I have thought more about it during this time. If something happens to me, I still hope that you can live well. I did something stupid a few days ago and almost caused both of us to die here. This makes me very scared. . I avenged the Yao family, and Miss Yao fell in love with me. You never cared about me mentioning Miss Yao in front of you. You are a person with a clear distinction between love and hate. I can't waste your intentions, and I can't ask you to do anything for me anymore. More. In the next few days, please stay at the inn. I think I can do it alone. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid. If we really can’t do anything, we will leave Suzhou directly. As for revenge, we can put it off later."
Ayana's eyes were lowered, and she thought seriously for a long time: "I don't trust you alone."
"I'm even more worried if you follow me. Be good and be obedient."
Linghan raised her head and looked at him: "I allow you to go there alone tonight, but I have to guard outside."
"Okay," Xu Qingchen said with a smile, "You finally gave in."
After saying that, Xu Qingchen picked up Linghan and walked towards the bed.
Ayana exclaimed: "Hey! You...it's so early in the morning..."
"To put your mind at ease at night."
"Didn't you just say you were afraid of something happening?"
"It's not bad this time."
…
Linghan put on dark clothes and hid in a restaurant not far from the restaurant. She sat down on the second floor by the window facing the street, with a bottle of wine in front of her, and glanced at the restaurant from time to time. The inn where she was staying was very popular, and most of the people who came and went were knights with swords, so her outfit was not conspicuous.
At the door, Xu Qingchen had already walked in.
Just as he thought, Qin Zhiyang did not come today.
The first two times they came here, the maid responsible for receiving them was the same person, and this time it was her. Xu Qingchen glanced around and realized that the restaurant seemed large, but there were not many customers, so there were only two waiters.
"Didn't the young master bring the young lady with him this time?" the woman joked while pouring wine.
Xu Qingchen just nodded.
The woman asked again: "What do you want to eat this time?"
"How about half a roasted leg of lamb."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The woman stood up, and when she walked to the entrance of the stall, she turned around and asked mysteriously: "Master, do you need someone to accompany you?"
"Uh..." Xu Qingchen pretended to hesitate, "Uh... no need."
The woman whispered: "Master, don't worry, we have many family guests like you here."
"That's really not necessary."
The woman continued to persuade: "We don't have many girls here. If you hesitate for a while, you will be picked out by others."
"What about that?" Xu Qingchen rubbed his nose, "You...call me two...no, just one."
Hearing Xu Qingchen relax, the woman's eyes lit up: "What do you want, Master?"
"Just...anything is fine, no, can I choose?"
"Of course, you come with me."
Xu Qingchen stood up and walked towards the back hall with the woman. He also took the opportunity to pretend to be guilty and look around. He was looking at the women held in the arms of the guests and wanted to see if there were any of the two who were serving Qin Zhiyang.
There is a large room in the back hall. The large room has windows, but there is no window paper. The lights were bright inside, but it was dark outside. This is done so that people inside the house cannot see clearly what is going on outside.
There were many women in the room, all of them lustful women, and without exception they all had outstanding looks. Some of them gather together to talk and chat, and some of them stay alone. Xu Qingchen's eyes quickly scanned the women in the room, trying to find the two women Qin Zhiyang often visited.
After searching for a long time but not finding it, Xu Qingchen was a little puzzled.
Seeing that he remained silent, the woman smiled and said, "Sir, you can choose slowly, but our girls can't wait."
Xu Qingchen figured it out. It seemed that this restaurant only catered to people.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Is there anything better?"
The woman smiled mysteriously: "Better ones are not cheap."
Xu Qingchen took out a piece of silver and handed it to the woman, saying, "Don't worry about money."
The woman held the money in her hand and smiled happily: "Master, follow me."
He followed the woman for a while and stopped in front of a big house again. Sure enough, there are "better ones" here, but the number is much less than in the previous house.
There were few people, so he saw the two women at a glance.
He pretended to pick for a while and said, "That one, the one in blue."
I didn't dare to call both of them at once for fear of being suspected.
"Sir, please go to the cubicle and wait for a moment. The girl will be there in a moment."
"OK."
Xu Qingchen returned to the cubicle, and not long after, the foreign woman he named walked into the cubicle with three twists and turns, her figure was very enchanting.
Xu Qingchen didn't dare to raise his head and look at his face, mainly because he was afraid that Linghan would be angry if he found out.
The woman took advantage of the situation and sat next to Xu Qingchen. He hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Sit on the opposite side."
The Hu woman was not surprised. In her mind, all the Han men who came here to call for a girl for the first time were like this. They would pretend to be honest at first, but soon they would become like the regular customers.
The foreign woman sat obediently across from him and helped Xu Qingchen pour the wine.
Xu Qingchen regretted it and found that he didn't know how to speak at all.
But the Hu woman knew that they had seen too many shy customers and knew how to pry open their mouths and make them open their money bags obediently.
