Along the way, Qingxue walked around for a long time, and after asking several servants, she finally found the Huaman Building where the Mu family's uncle lived. Stepping up the stairs and looking around, there are corridors on both sides and a hallway in the middle. There is a large red sandalwood framed marble screen. Turning around the screen, there are three small halls. Behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back. The five upper rooms on the front are all carved with carved beams and painted beams. On both sides, there are verandahs and wing rooms with famous parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging on them. On Taiji, two maids in red and green were standing on the left and right. Qingxue was anxious and wanted to break in directly, but was stopped by the maids: "Girl, who are you looking for?" "Of course it's your uncle," Qingxue said eagerly. "Then who are you?" "I am..." Just when Qingxue didn't know how to answer, a drizzle started falling from the sky. This gave her an idea, and she immediately chanted loudly, "Visitors come from the east. , Baling Yu on the clothes. Asking why the visitor is here, he is buying an ax from the mountain." After hearing this, one of the short maids looked confused. She scratched her head and asked in confusion: "Oh~ what is your last name? Who is my name? Why didn't you answer, instead of reading a poem to us?" Although the other tall maid was also confused, seeing that Qingxue's temperament and conversation were not ordinary, she did not dare to neglect, so she said cheerfully "How about you wait here first, and I will pass the message to you." She entered the side hall and saw the uncle and the third master playing chess against each other, so she called softly: "Uncle." What's the matter?" "There is a girl outside looking for you." "Who is she?" the uncle said calmly. "She didn't introduce herself to her family, but she read a poem to us." "Oh~ what poem did she read?" The third master was quite curious. "What... coming from the east, there's rain on his clothes, and by the way, he seems to want to buy an ax."
Hearing this, the third master couldn't help laughing, and then said to his elder brother: "This girl sounds quite interesting. Brother, why don't you invite her to come in and meet her?" "Okay." Nodding slightly, he still spoke concisely and to the point. "Rose, hurry up and invite her!" Third Master couldn't help urging. Qingxue was led by Mei Mei through the main room to the side hall, where she saw two young men sitting under the bright west window, playing chess. "Uncle, the guests have been brought." One of the older ones waved his hand, and the maid withdrew. Qingxue bowed to him and said softly: "Please forgive Qingxue for coming uninvited and disturbing her." The uncle concentrated on his chess game without even raising his head. But the third master looked at Qingxue, smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me, this visitor from the East, why did you buy an ax?" "That's just my excuse. Please forgive me." Qingxue also bowed to him. , and continued, "I am the cousin of Hua Xinlan in Lanxuge. I came here in a hurry today to save my cousin." "Brother..." The third master called his eldest brother while looking at Qingxue. It turned out that he was an honest man, but the old man turned a deaf ear. Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but after all, it was important to save her cousin, so she had to patiently take a deep breath, calm down her emotions, and then slowly said: "Sometimes when you meet an opponent, the game will get deeper." When Qingxue watched the two of them playing chess, she looked like this They must be all masters of chess skills. They must be inseparable and inseparable. The situation may be stalemate at any time, but what I ask for is extremely urgent. So can you please stop the chess game and let me tell you the details?"
The uncle couldn't help but become interested when he heard her talking about lotus flowers, so he put down the chess piece in his hand and raised his head to take a closer look. He saw this young woman in front of him. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, tall and slender, with soft eyebrows and rosy lips. Shining and moist, the skin is whiter than snow, and the temperament is pretty. Although she was begging for help at this moment, her face was neither humble nor arrogant, and her affection for her was welling up in her heart. Her eyes were full of admiration, and all of this was seen by his third brother. "Miss Qingxue, please speak. I am all ears." At this time, the uncle's attitude had softened a lot and he said to her very gently. "It's like this. You must have heard about the unfortunate death of my beloved daughter a few days ago. My cousin Xinlan was even more severely hit. She suffered from postpartum disorders and high fever. Although she was treated by Dr. Hu, she never recovered. Seeing improvement, now that her illness is lingering and her body is getting worse, Zimeng and I can't help but feel anxious." At this point, Qingxue's face was filled with pear blossoms and rain. When the uncle saw her, he felt more and more beautiful and lovely, and I felt pity for her. . "It's really sad for those who hear it and sheds tears for those who hear it." The third master said with some emotion, with a look of sadness on his face. Qingxue glanced at him gratefully and continued: "Unfortunately, the second master has gone far away again, and there is no one to discuss with him. I have always heard that you are extremely loyal and have acquaintances all over the world. Qingxue has long admired you in her heart, so today is a special day." I come to beg for help, and I hope you can hire another doctor with good medical skills to diagnose and treat my cousin. If she can turn her life around, I will be very grateful, and I will be willing to work hard to repay your kindness." Three After hearing this, the master repeatedly praised: "His ambition is commendable and his sentiments are pitiable. Brother, are you willing to let such a lovely girl work like a cow or a horse?" "Third brother, don't talk nonsense." The uncle glanced at She glanced at him and scolded him, then hurriedly called Rose in and told her, "Find Butler Liu quickly." "Yes, sir." Rose agreed, turned around and left.
"Miss Qingxue, you just talked a lot. You must be thirsty too. Please come and have a seat and have a cup of hot tea." The uncle offered her his seat, and she nodded and slowly took the seat, muttering to herself: It's really true. I am tired and thirsty. I was rushing on the road in a hurry, and now I am racking my brains to compete with you. How can I not be tired? She picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. The third master sitting opposite him gave her another cup and asked with a smile: "What's your last name, girl? What's your name?" After that, she handed over a pen and paper. To her, Qingxue did not pick up the pen, but said with a sly smile: "Why don't you, Third Master, please write down your surname first?" After thinking about it, the Third Master picked up the pen and wrote down six words on the paper. A big character, and then handed it to Qingxue with a smile. "Mu Aoshan, Mu Guyin...why do they have two names?" Qingxue looked at the third master in confusion, but the other party just smiled and said nothing. "I guess one of them is your eldest brother's name, right?" The third master smiled slightly and nodded and said, "Then can you guess which one is my eldest brother's name." Qingxue pondered for a moment and then said: " Gu Yin... should be your name." "The girl is really smart as ice and snow." Gu Yin said with a naughty smile, holding her chin, and Ao Shan, who was standing aside, also cast a meaningful look at her. At this time, Gu Yin saw that Qingxue was only drinking tea, so he said eagerly: "Girl already knows the names of our two brothers, why don't you write down your own name quickly?" Qingxue said to him with a faint smile: "Didn't I say my name is Qingxue? You can guess which two words it is." "Xue is the snow that 'gives help in times of need'." After receiving a positive answer, Gu Yin continued, "Qing Xue" Is it the "green is better than blue"?" Qingxue shook her head slightly. "Is it 'lighter than a feather'?" She shook her head again in denial. "Then...it must be the 'Qinguo Qingcheng' thing!" Gu Yin exclaimed with joy, his eyes shining.
"It's Qing who is 'enjoyed'." Qingxue corrected in a low voice with a blushing face. "Brother... what do you think?" Gu Yin winked at Aoshan, and he immediately understood. He stared at Qingxue and said passionately: "You are the most beautiful person in the country, and I am full of admiration for you." Qingxue Wei Expecting him to be so direct, I suddenly looked at a loss. I didn't know where to put my hands, so I had to lower my head and fiddle with the corners of my clothes. "What's your surname, Miss Qingxue?" Gu Yin asked appropriately. "My surname is Mei, from 'Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum'." "As expected, the person lives up to his name, and is very refined and refined." Aoshan lost no time in admiring. Seeing the obsessed look on his elder brother's face, Gu Yin felt moved. He looked at Qingxue and asked directly: "Miss Qingxue, do you believe that a thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thread?" Hearing this, Qingxue became even more embarrassed and uneasy. She clearly had her heart set on something, but she couldn't say it directly. Just when she was thinking about how to deal with it, Butler Liu happened to walk in in a hurry. "Uncle, Third Master." Butler Liu said hello. Qingxue also stood up out of courtesy, and Aoshan introduced her to Butler Liu: "This is Miss Qingxue. Please go and ask Doctor Wang to come over and diagnose and treat her cousin's illness." "Who is her cousin?" "Hua Xinlan, after you pick up Dr. Wang, go directly to Lanxu Pavilion. After he has completed his diagnosis and treatment, come back and report the situation to me. Do you understand? Go quickly!" Aoshan urged urgently. "Yes." Butler Liu hurriedly excused himself and went to do errands. "Qingxue would like to thank you, uncle." She was about to salute again, but was supported by Aoshan. He looked at Qingxue and said with a smile: "Miss Qingxue, you don't have to shout so loudly, just call me Aoshan." Qingxue nodded and looked out the window. It was raining harder outside and the sky was dark. It has started to turn black.
"It's getting late outside, and it's time for me to say goodbye." "It's raining so hard, let me take you back." Aoshan said hurriedly and attentively. "No, I can just go back by myself." "How about that? You don't need to be polite to me..." "It's really no need." Qingxue interrupted him and refused, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Seeing this, Gu Yin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "It's really inappropriate for a man and a woman to go together all the way. I think so, brother, just send a maid to take Qingxue back. That won't make things better!" "That's fine too. "Aoshan said helplessly. "Then, let's say goodbye to Qingxue." "See you later." Gu Yin cupped her hands and said with a smile. Qingxue turned around and went out, feeling relieved. Aoshan stood under the porch, staring at her graceful figure through the layers of rain curtains, hoping that she would turn around and look back at him with a smile, but unfortunately he never waited... Doctor Wang rushed to Lanxu Pavilion It was already time. After diagnosing Xinlan, he said: "My aunt is suffering from fear, worry and anger!" "Excuse me, doctor, is there any other way to treat her?" Zimeng asked eagerly. Dr. Wang stroked his beard and said slowly: "I will prescribe some more medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi for my concubine, but her heart disease still needs a heart medicine doctor. You should try to prescribe it for her as much as possible. In addition, you can use moxa sticks to give her moxibustion." Taichong and Pizhong points ensured that she would no longer be angry or overly worried, and with proper conditioning, she would be fine." After two days of taking Dr. Wang's decoction, Xinlan's high fever finally subsided. Qingxue and Zimeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Every morning and night, they gave her moxa moxibustion according to Dr. Wang's instructions. If nothing happened, they would stay by her bedside and tell her some happy things, hoping that she would be happy. comforted. In order not to disappoint the two of them, Xinlan had no choice but to keep her spirits up. She had thought over and over again that her daughter could no longer be resurrected from the dead, and her two younger sisters were so pure-hearted, so she had to do her best to protect them.
At dusk that day, Qingxue and Zimeng were helping Xinlan moxa moxibustion, when they suddenly saw Liandie walking in from outside, and excitedly said to Qingxue: "Miss Cousin, I have asked someone to give you something again today. "I saw that she was holding an exquisite-looking brocade box in her hand. Qingxue glanced at it from the corner of her eyes and said calmly: "It should return to its original owner!" "But, don't you take a look at the gifts in the brocade box?" "I won't accept anything, so hurry up and find someone. Go back." "Oh." Liandie stuck out her tongue and ran out quickly. "Why are you so heartless and rejecting people thousands of miles away?" Zimeng said with a smile. "Yes, if this can lead to the marriage between you and my uncle, I won't suffer from this illness in vain." Xinlan said without losing any opportunity. The eldest cousin was sincere for her, and Qingxue had no intention of refuting, but Zimeng always teased herself and the uncle these days, which was too much, so Qingxue couldn't help but said to her sarcastically: " If I remember correctly, you had held a red line for me and the third master before. How come you are so busy working as a lobbyist for the third master in the blink of an eye?" "I..." Her words were unforgiving, Ling Zi The dream was speechless for a moment. Xinlan took Qingxue's hand and said with a gentle smile: "We are all doing this for your own good. We want you to have someone to depend on for life, so don't worry too much." "I don't want to get married so soon. Well, I just want to stay with cousin Xinlan for a long time." Qingxue hugged Xinlan's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said sweetly with a small mouth. "Silly girl..." Xinlan caressed her cheek and called lovingly. Zimeng on the side couldn't help turning her head to the side, her face unable to hide the sadness and jealousy.
The calm days only lasted for about ten days, and then came to an abrupt end late one night. That night, Xinlan had a strange dream. In the dream, she was playing with her baby son by the pool. Suddenly, the boy accidentally slipped and fell into the pond. Xinlan was about to jump in to save him, but someone grabbed him from behind and couldn't get away. When she looked back, she saw a boy who was only seven or eight years old. , a smart-looking girl, was holding her clothes tightly at the moment. Xinlan asked in confusion: "Daughter, whose child are you from? Stop making trouble and let me save my brother." "Don't you recognize me...Mom, you are so cruel. Haven't you forgotten all about your daughter a long time ago? Why didn't you avenge me when you knew I died so miserably?" Hearing this, Xinlan was completely stunned and just stood there shaking her head. When the little girl saw this, she suddenly said fiercely: "Okay, since you don't recognize me, then I don't want you as a mother anymore." After that, she suddenly pushed Xinlan into the water. The water in the small pond was actually not deep at all, but Xinlan felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. She struggled desperately and shouted desperately... At this time, Qingxue, who was leaning on the collapse and reading a book in fascination, suddenly heard something from Xinlan suddenly woke up from her sleep, screaming "Ah...ah..." incessantly, so frightened that she accidentally dropped the book in her hand. "Cousin Xinlan..." She rushed to the next door anxiously, and almost bumped into Zimeng who heard the sound at the door. The two tried to appease Xinlan, but in vain. She suddenly jumped out of bed and ran out. She rushed into the kitchen and found a large kitchen knife. Then she picked up the kitchen knife and started waving it around. Qingxue and Zimeng were so frightened when they saw her crazy appearance that they had no choice but to call for help. After a while, two sturdy servants rushed over. When they saw this, they wanted to rush into the kitchen to stop Xinlan. , but she suddenly became extremely brave. She would kill anyone who wanted to stop them with a knife. She looked like she was not allowed to approach strangers, and shouted: "Revenge... I want to take revenge for my daughter." Revenge, don’t come here, you all go away.” Zimeng was so anxious that she cried loudly: “Sister, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare me...”
Qingxue thought that there was no way to continue like this, so she boldly approached Xinlan and said to her: "Cousin, please give me the knife in your hand." "Go away! None of you are good people, you all want to Harm me and my daughter!" Xinlan's eyes were full of fear. "Calm down and look at us carefully. I am your cousin Qingxue, and that is your sister Meng'er." Qingxue looked at her and persuaded her softly, "Both of us are your closest relatives. We are the people who care about each other the most, how could I want to harm you? Just give me the knife." After hearing this, Xinlan calmed down a little, and while she was stunned, Qingxue snatched it away quickly. He took the knife out of her hand and handed it to the servant. Zimeng hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xinlan, calling out in tears: "Sister, my miserable sister..." Xinlan, who had a blank look on her face, murmured: "Daughter, don't worry, my mother will To avenge you..." Qingxue held back her tears and ordered Liandie, who was crying and laughing beside her: "Go and invite Butler Liu here." "Oh." Liandie agreed while wiping her tears. gone. Not long after, Butler Liu arrived at Lanxu Pavilion. "What are your orders, Miss Qingxue?" "I don't dare to give you any orders. I just want to trouble Butler Liu and ask Doctor Wang to come over again." Qingxue said humbly. "Okay, this is what I should do, old slave. Moreover, the uncle has given instructions earlier, saying that your business, Miss Qingxue, is the uncle's business. I must do my best to be at your disposal." Butler Liu lowered his head respectfully. said. "Then please tell the uncle for me that I would like to thank him for taking such trouble." Qingxue nodded slightly and said to Butler Liu politely. Doctor Wang arrived at Lanxu Pavilion at Mao Shi. He took Xinlan's pulse, observed her silly and crazy look, and solemnly judged that she was probably suffering from heart failure, and said that she was a patient suffering from this disease. She will be extremely sensitive. From now on, you should follow her will in everything and try not to irritate her. Only then can the condition be alleviated until the symptoms are relieved and she regains consciousness. Watching her sometimes being suspicious, looking like a frightened bird; sometimes being silly and stupid, laughing for no reason, Qingxue and Zimeng felt extremely sad in their hearts, and couldn't help but cry to each other. "Sister, she has such a kind heart, why did she end up like this in the end?" Zimeng said with a sad face. Qingxue closed her eyes tightly without saying a word, just letting the painful tears crawl all over her face...
In the afternoon, the Lanxu Pavilion was rarely as calm as water. Xinlan held a tile pillow in her arms, treating it like a baby, and rocked her body back and forth to coax it to sleep. Zimeng, who was sitting aside, took out the sachet that she had not finished embroidering before and continued to embroider it. "Xinlan, Xinlan..." Suddenly Qianfan's urgent voice was heard coming from far away. "Brother-in-law!" Zimeng raised her head and saw that the man she had longed for appeared in front of her, and her eyes were filled with tears. Qianfan slowly approached Xinlan and found that her eyes were dull and she was no longer as bright as before. She suddenly felt so heartbroken that she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Second Master, look at how soundly our daughter sleeps." Xinlan looked at Qianfan and said with a smile. "Xinlan, you recognize me, you really recognize me." Qianji said happily. Seeing this, Zimeng came forward in a hurry and was delighted. Unexpectedly, Xinlan's face suddenly changed. She spat at her and said, "Bah! How can such a hypocritical person be worthy of being a father? Why don't you disappear from my eyes soon?" !" She said as she pushed Zimeng hard. Zimeng almost lost her balance, but fortunately Qianfan caught her in time. Qianfan looked at Xinlan and choked with sobs: "How could things become like this? You were so gentle and gentle before..." Although he had heard Shui Hanshuang talk about Xinlan's condition, he was still surprised by what he saw before him. Strange heart blue. "Sister, she was hit so hard that she couldn't bear it for a while..." Zimeng said with tears in her eyes. "It's all my fault. I left you for too long and came back too late, Xinlan." Qianfan wanted to hug her and comfort her, but she struggled desperately and refused to give in. Qianfan had no choice but to give up. He lowered his hands feebly, looked at Xinlan with a sad face, and remained silent for a long time. At this time, Zimeng thought: Even if they don't speak to each other, as long as they can be in the same room with him and be close to him, it is precious to them. "Where's Qingxue, why don't you see her?" Qianfan's urgent words broke the originally beautiful atmosphere.
"She, I'm afraid," Zimeng said, pretending to be embarrassed, "she is trying to resist your elder brother again but still welcomes him." "What did you say?" Qianfan asked in disbelief with his eyes widened. "Ever since that time he specially invited a famous doctor to treat his sister because of Qingxue's sake, Qingxue has often thought of his benefits..." Zimeng looked at him hesitantly. "Go on." Qianfan urged. "She said that even though your eldest brother is the eldest son, he chose to start a career first and then start a family. Such great talent and sagacity are truly commendable. She also said..." Zimeng was still making up random things, but Qianfan had already rushed out. It turned out that Aoshan and Gu Yin just brought a lot of supplements and came to Lanxu Pavilion to visit Xinlan. After sitting for a while, Gu Yin stood up and left, and Qingxue went out to see them off. However, Aoshan didn't intend to leave so quickly, so he dragged Qingxue to Lanxin Pavilion, hoping to take this opportunity to share his heartfelt feelings with her. "How come the gifts I sent to you before were returned intact?" Aoshan asked, looking at her intently. When Qingxue sent Gu Yin away and turned back, she saw Qianfan's figure from a distance, so at this moment she just wanted to go see the second master as soon as possible instead of dealing with him here. Aoshan didn't notice her absent-mindedness, took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve, and said to her sincerely: "I think you must think that I am not sincere enough, so I came here in person today to bring this' Suxue Nine Immortals White Jade Bracelet is given to you, please open it quickly and take a look." After saying that, she wanted to hand the brocade box to her, but Qingxue did not reach out and just said casually: "No reward for no merit, I How could I accept such an expensive gift from you?" Aoshan thought she declined it out of courtesy, and smiled at her and said, "You know, the first time I saw this bracelet, I felt like it was like skin. It matches you so well, and only your slender and smooth wrists are worthy of it." "You are so complimentary, I really can't bear it."
"Qingxue, do you still remember what you said that day?" Aoshan said with some reluctance, "I don't need you to work hard to repay me, I just hope you accept my wishes, isn't this okay? ?" As soon as these words came out, Qingxue stood stunned on the spot, speechless, and let Aoshan help her put on the jade bracelet. "Wearing it really makes you more beautiful and dignified." Aoshan said proudly, and then couldn't help but kiss the back of her snow-white hand. Qingxue was so shocked that she quickly retracted her hand. When it was time to say something, it was inconvenient for him to say it, so she had to turn her head to the side, her face already blushing. "Are you shy? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude to you, but I couldn't help it. Ever since I first saw you, I felt like we were old friends at first sight." "Aoshan, actually I..." Qingxue wanted to say something. He already has someone he likes, but he is afraid that if he is too straightforward, it will make it difficult for Ao Shan to step down. No matter what, he is his cousin's savior. Aoshan, who didn't know what was going on, just thought she was being dignified and reserved. After a second thought, he said: "I know you are a well-educated girl, and there are some things on your mind that are difficult to express in person. Let's do this. You and I will make an agreement from now on." Pass the letter, so that you can express your feelings directly in the letter, do you agree?" Qingxue really didn't know how to decline politely, so she could only nod her head against her will. When Aoshan saw her nodding in agreement, he finally left reluctantly. Qingxue looked at his back and sighed softly. She turned around and was about to go back to the house when she caught a glimpse of Qianfan standing behind her with a cold face.
Qingxue couldn't help being surprised and happy when she saw him, and said excitedly: "It's great that you are finally back... Cousin Xinlan is so pitiful, you must comfort her well, so many things have happened these days, I You and Zimeng are both worried day and night..." "A lot of things happened. For example, you got to know my elder brother as soon as I left; for example, you tried to refuse but finally accepted his gift." Qianfan interrupted her. said sharply. "Qianfan, you misunderstood. This is all because of before..." "I know why." Qianfan raised her hand with the bracelet and asked sarcastically, "Because he admires the incomparable dignity of Aoshan. The identity of the eldest son? Because you believe that he is the worthy heir? So you can't wait to climb another branch, right?" As soon as these words came out, Qingxue felt extremely humiliated. She shook her head and asked with tears: "Am I such a superficial person in your mind? Is this what you keep saying you believe?" Seeing her cry, Qianfan couldn't bear it, so he lowered his voice and said slowly: "Then why did Xinlan become ill? At that time, why didn't you listen to my instructions and discuss with Shui Hanshuang instead of bothering my elder brother at the expense of the near and far away?" Hearing this, Qingxue threw away his hand angrily and asked coldly: "Go. Looking for Shui Hanshuang? Let her take the opportunity to continue harming cousin Xinlan. The reason why cousin is here today is not thanks to her!"
"You are so confident, do you have any real evidence?" "If you had seen the shocking injuries on cousin Xinlan's face in the early morning of that day, you would not have asked this question." Qingxue slowly shook her head and said. . "I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding." Upon hearing this, Qingxue felt that he was just trying to avoid the most important things, so she said mercilessly: "The person you sleep with is clearly a poisonous woman who knows all the tricks and uses any means. After so many years, Do you turn a blind eye to the fact that you have been with her day and night? I would like to ask you, Master, are you blind or mentally blind?" Qian Fan was shocked by Qingxue's harsh tone and sat down on the stool in silence. , in a trance. Qingxue realized that what she just said was too much, and couldn't help but said in annoyance: "It's understandable that you should deceive yourself, after all, she is your first wife, and to you, my cousin and I may not have any money at all. "Speaking of this, she suddenly felt sad and aggrieved, and just wanted to leave immediately. When Qianfan saw her leaving, she woke up and wanted to reach out to pull her, but she couldn't move as fast as her, so the hand she stretched out fell. He stopped in mid-air, feeling as lost as his heart at the moment. Looking at Qingxue's back, he murmured: "How can you be penniless? You are clearly the person I care about the most." At this moment, Zimeng slowly walked into the pavilion and asked him softly: "Brother-in-law, You have to stay and dine with your sister, and I'll let the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes." "No, I'm going back first, and I'll see Xinlan another day." After that, he left with a disappointed look on his face.
In the next two days, Qianfan was as depressed as if he was angry with himself. He was always indifferent to everyone and said little. He wanted to see Qingxue, but he was afraid that she had not yet melted away, so he was afraid of being close to home, so he stayed away. That night, Qingxue was leaning on the bedside, thinking a lot. Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house, followed by Zimeng's call: "Qingxue, have you fallen asleep?" "I haven't slept yet. Come in." Zimeng opened the door and walked in. She looked at Qingxue and asked with concern: "You are still up so late. You must be worried about your sister like me, right?" Qingxue said silently. He nodded and saw Zimeng sitting blankly beside the bed, so he quickly pulled her into the bed. At this time, a sachet fell from her sleeve. Qingxue picked it up casually, looking at it and admiring: "Who is this exquisitely crafted sachet being given to?" Zimeng just bowed her head and remained silent after hearing this. "You said before that you would risk your life," Qingxue asked thoughtfully, "Do you have a detailed revenge plan now?" "The plan is that I must marry my brother-in-law, so that I can get close to Shui Han. Shuang, let her completely let down her guard." Zimeng held the sachet tightly in her hand and said firmly. "Did you make this sachet for your cousin-in-law? But he seems to you..." Qingxue was hesitating how to word it, but Zimeng said straight to the point: "I understand, the person in my brother-in-law's heart is You, so I need you to help me achieve my wish." As soon as these words came out, Qingxue was immediately confused: Although she and Qianfan had a tit-for-tat dispute not long ago, it was just a momentary unhappiness. Based on their mutual understanding, I promise, we will be reconciled as before soon. But Zimeng is her dearest and most beloved family member. She has been very close to her since she was a child. Now that she has asked her for help, how can she just stand by and remain indifferent? How could things develop to such an extent?
"Qingxue, you have been very close to me and my sister since you were a child. My mother and sister have always cared more about you than me. It's funny to say that I was jealous of you at that time, but I have never been jealous of you." Zimeng Looking at her, she said frankly, "Even now, I don't mind that my brother-in-law only has you in his eyes and heart. With your appearance, talent, knowledge, simplicity and kindness, you are worthy of winning everyone's love for you." Qingxue listened a little. She whispered guiltily: "You are too flattering to me! I can't do it without any selfish desires, because I only have Qianfan in my heart. Besides, if it were me..." "You want to say that if it were you who would marry me..." If you are your brother-in-law, you can still avenge your sister, right?" "Yes." "With your arrogance and arrogance, if you are asked to face the water, cold and frost every day, being weak and humble, can you do it? I want you to do it for the sake of my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is so infatuated that he only cares about his feelings and ignores his own likes and dislikes. Can you do it? But I can do it. For him, I can ignore myself and forget myself. As long as he is happy, I will be happy. ." Zimeng said in one breath, and it seemed that he had come prepared. But Qingxue didn't think about this level, she only felt that her heart was touched in many ways: to care about someone to the point of ignoring and forgetting yourself, how infatuated and obsessed you must be, and you may never reach such a state.
"Then when did you start to have a different kind of affection for Qianfan?" Qingxue asked softly with a frown. “The moment I first met him two years ago, I knew I was hopeless. Since then, his handsome face has often appeared in my dreams, making my eyes and heart no longer able to accommodate other men. Even if he is just an unreachable phantom, I am willing to waste my time holding this phantom," Zi Meng said with tears and affectionately, "Until by chance, we came to Peach Blossom Villa, every time he set foot on Lan Xuge, I felt like I had lost my soul, staring at him infatuatedly, feeling that I couldn't get enough of him. Qingxue, am I stupid?" After hearing this, Qingxue couldn't help but feel confused on her face. Full of tears, she never knew that Zimeng actually fell in love with Qianfan so humbly, but then she thought about it and asked uneasily: "So, your purpose of marrying Qianfan is more like Let yourself get what you want, instead of risking your life as so-called?" "I think this can have both ends, it can not only avenge my sister, but also fulfill my own feelings. You can think of me as stubborn or just wishful thinking. In short, I will not marry him in this life! But I watched with cold eyes, thinking that you and him may only be suitable for romance, but may not be suitable for holding hands together. Qingxue, for my sister and for me, can you just let go?" Zimeng begged softly and hard. After Qingxue thought for a while, she closed her eyes and said sadly: "Okay, I let you go. I will leave here soon and I will never see him again in this life." "But if you leave without saying goodbye, brother-in-law, he will definitely not be able to let you go. I will try my best to find you, and then..." Zi Meng said with concern. "Zimeng, stop talking, I will make him give up... Just leave me alone." Qingxue sighed and said helplessly. "Then I won't bother you anymore. Don't be too nervous. Take a rest as soon as possible and take care of yourself." After Zimeng said that, he stood up and left. Qingxue lay there already sobbing, feeling extremely heartbroken.
The next day, Shui Hanshuang came to visit Xinlan, which was rare. She pulled the stupid Xinlan and said words of deep regret, and she shed a few tears pretending to be heartbroken. Qingxue didn't want to be in the same room with her for even a moment. When she saw her coy face, she couldn't help but sneer at her. So she made an excuse and walked out, leaving Zimeng to deal with her alone. It seems that what Zimeng said is indeed true. She is so bad at pretending that it would be extremely difficult for her to smile at such people every day! Qingxue returned to her dormitory unhappily and sat at her desk. At a glance, she saw the letter written by Aoshan to her again. In the letter, Aoshan had a deep love for her and could not extricate herself. She was somewhat moved. After all, Qianfan had never written such a letter to her. Qianfan...At this moment, she suddenly had an idea and planned to write a letter back to Aoshan. Naturally, the letter would not be actually sent. It only needed to be placed in a conspicuous position where Qianfan could read it. Just arrive. However, she had been writing for a long time but only wrote the two words "Aoshan", and then she could no longer write. Yes, she clearly didn't have him in her heart, only Qianfan. How on earth was she going to make up those false words? . What she kept thinking about was the wonderful encounter with Qianfan in Taolin, and the long-standing tacit understanding... What should she do? She had promised Zimeng to let go, but Qianfan was deeply rooted in her mind. Among them, it is said that you can let go if you put it away, and you can forget it if you want to. God, why let her make such a painful choice, why let her go through so much frustration... Thinking of this, Qingxue couldn't help but bury her head in her arms and sob softly.
