Three cyan
When Qi Yoyo opened the door and appeared in front of Liu Hong, disheveled and sleepy-eyed, Liu Hong was shocked and dropped the wooden basin filled with water to the ground with a clang.
The noise disturbed the maids and servants in the yard. They all came to the sound in unison, and then all of them opened their mouths wide and looked at Qi Yoyo with their eyes wide open, showing extremely shocked expressions.
A man and a woman living together in the same room, sleeping together for a night, are always the most popular topics on the streets, at the dinner table, and at the tea table.
The news disappeared, spread throughout the North Second City, reached the Central City, and finally reached Qi Wuwei's ears.
Qi Wuwei was like an angry lion, smashing the courtyard door of Tingyaxuan, looking at Zhang Xiaopou with his red eyes.
But Zhang Xiaozu had already left, and Qi Yoyo was also missing.
Qi Wuwei panicked.
This scene seems familiar.
This was how he and Wan Qiuqing were fooling around back then.
Isn’t this going to be a problem in some corner of northern Xinjiang? Let’s meet him again in a few decades, right?
That's really a sign of retribution.
It wasn't until Qi Wuwei told him with absolute certainty that the two of them had not eloped that Qi Wuwei breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after hearing what Qi said next, Qi Wuwei slumped down in his chair, thinking that Qi Yoyo might as well elope with Zhang Xiaozu.
"My little sister helped Zhang Xiaopeng kill Su Yang." Qi Ru said.
Qi Wuwei wanted to cry but had no tears.
…
March weather in Baiyun City is much colder than that in Yancheng.
When it's cloudy and rainy, the wind still carries some of the coldness of the tail end of winter.
Tomorrow is March 20th, the Spring Equinox.
There is a local custom of worshiping heaven in Baiyun City.
Children who have reached the age of sixteen will also have a coming-of-age ceremony on this day.
Therefore, it is a very lively and festive day.
It's just that the weather has been gloomy these two days, and the dark clouds are getting lower and lower. I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow.
But the people were not upset at all. After suffering from the drought, they longed for rain and liked rain.
However, if the gloomy weather lasts for a long time, it will inevitably affect people's mood.
Especially those who have troubles in their hearts.
For example, Qin Xinru.
At this time, she stood by the window, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, her mood was extremely gloomy.
She felt that her world was very much like the sky at this time, with rolling dark clouds covering the entire sky. The sky and the earth were gray and white, without color, without light, and without hope.
She held the window edge with her right hand, and gently touched her lower abdomen with her left hand through her clothes. The keen sense of a cultivator made her truly feel that there was a little life beating constantly inside.
She is pregnant, and the child must be Su Mou's, because she only had sex with Su Mou.
If word spreads about the pregnancy before marriage, the Qin family's reputation will be lost.
Fortunately, cultivators are extremely sensitive to changes in their own bodies, so she noticed it as soon as the baby was born. She was panicked, uneasy, uneasy, but also pleasantly surprised.
This is Su Mou's child.
She immediately found Su Mou and told him the good news, hoping that Su Mou would immediately send a matchmaker to her house to propose marriage.
Although she has not passed the three-year filial piety period and cannot get married, there is no other way.
Only by marrying Su Mou quickly can we hide the truth and preserve her reputation, Su Mou's reputation, and the family's family tradition and reputation.
She originally thought that Su Mou would be like her, flustered and surprised after hearing the good news, and then agree to get married, but unexpectedly, Su Mou's face turned gloomy and scary, and he even hit her and called her stupid.
In the end, Su Mou gave her two choices, either to abort the fetus, or to marry her sister Qin Rulan into the Zhennan Palace.
This is a situation that Qin Xinru would never have imagined even if he died.
She couldn't understand at all what happened to Su Mou, and when did he become so cold-blooded and ruthless?
She cried and asked Su Mou, what was she in his heart, was she just a tool to vent his desires?
Su Mou actually smiled and nodded towards her.
Qin Xinru felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, feeling that all the blood in her body was frozen.
The evil and ruthless smile on Su Mou's face made her hair stand on end, as if a demon in human skin had finally revealed its terrifying face.
"Why"
Looking at the billowing dark clouds in the sky, Qin Xinru sighed quietly.
After a few days of calm thinking, she had made a decision in her mind.
She would not choose either of the two choices Su Mou gave her.
If Su Mou is still good, she may consider the second option and try to persuade her sister to marry Su Mou together.
But Su Mou was no longer the Su Mou she knew.
The gentle, polite, gentle and considerate Su Mou has changed. He has become selfish, irritable, cruel, ruthless, vicious, and violent. His aura is getting stronger and stronger, and he has an evil nature from head to toe.
Such Su Mou, asking his sister to marry him is tantamount to pushing her into the abyss.
Her own life was already gloomy, how could she cruelly drag her sister along to be buried with her.
Maybe she suddenly woke up, maybe her heart was cold, or maybe the life in her belly gave her courage. She no longer wanted to obey Su Mou. She wanted to fight for a ray of light for herself and for the child in her belly.
A future.
So after several days of ideological struggle, she finally chose the third way, going to Taihu City to find Su Hanju and let Su Hanju make the decision for her.
She, Qin Xinru, will definitely be Su Mouming's wife.
Even if they hate each other, she will put this position in jail, because this is the last bit of pride in her bleak life. As long as she is still alive, no woman can get involved.
At ten o'clock in the morning, two guests came to the door of Qin Mansion.
A swordsman with a broken arm and a swordsman with a hunchback.
It was Zhou Jianlai and Yuan Taiping who had returned from Yancheng.
After the guard guarding the gate entered the house and reported to Qin Liu, he was ordered to go back to the concierge and lead the two of them to the living room.
The two of them sat in the empty living room and waited until the tea had gone cold. Then Mrs. Qin Liu suddenly appeared, arriving before anyone else.
"Mr. Yuan, Ru Lan is already married to her beloved and cannot marry you. It is our Qin family that feels unworthy of you. Please set some conditions and I, the Qin family, are willing to do our best to compensate you."
Straight to the point, straight to the point, no nonsense.
Yuan Taiping's face turned pale.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a similar situation before coming, he still felt as painful as a knife in his heart after hearing it.
When Zhou Jian came to see Yuan Taiping, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost. Apart from a sad and painful expression, there was no sign of resistance on his face. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
The reason why he came with Yuan Taiping was because he was afraid that Yuan Taiping would be bullied by the Qin family. He immediately turned his eyes cold and said with a stern face, "If Uncle Qin hears what Madam said, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will climb out of the coffin and give you a letter of divorce."
Letter, so that you don’t continue to ruin the Qin family’s reputation.”
"How presumptuous!" Mrs. Qin Liu, who was dressed in plain clothes, stepped into the living room, glared at Zhou Jianlai and shouted, pointing at Zhou Jianlai and said angrily, "You Zhou Jianlai, you are a white-eyed wolf who is not well-bred. Uncle Qin treats you so well. How can I treat you so well?"
You love me like your own son and nephew, but now you are like everyone else. Seeing the decline of our Qin family, you teamed up with an outsider to come to bully our orphans and widowed mothers. Where is your conscience?"
Zhou Jianlai's momentum suddenly dropped by half.
Originally, he wanted to suppress the Qin Liu family with a tough attitude. If he could cancel the marriage, he would hand over the land and house deeds that Yuan Taiping had won for the Qin family in the ring, and then announce to the whole city that the Qin family had violated their promise and broke the contract.
But after being scolded by Mrs. Qin Liu, it was really difficult for him to toughen his attitude.
"Sorry, Jianlai is rude." Zhou Jianlai stood up and bowed to Qin Liu to apologize.
"Huh!" Mrs. Qin Liu snorted coldly.
"Madam, please call sister Rulan out. If sister Rulan has made it clear that she does not want to marry my brother, we will stand up and leave immediately. From now on, there will never be any more entanglements." Zhou Jianlai took a step back and said.
"Nonsense!"
"Ru Lan is already a married woman, how can she show up in public as before, let alone meet a strange man? Do you want to ruin your sister Ru Lan's good reputation?" asked Qin Liu.
"Madam, if you are so unreasonable, it may be difficult to resolve this matter." Zhou Jianlai frowned.
Just as Qin Liu was about to speak, a servant came to the door. After bowing and saluting, he looked at Yuan Taiping and said, "Mr. Yuan, the eldest elder invites you to come."
"Okay." Zhou Jianlai looked happy, grabbed Yuan Taiping's arm and pulled him up from the chair, and walked towards the door, ignoring the unreasonable Qin Liu.
Zhou Jianlai knew that in the Qin family at present, only the first elder could suppress the Qin Liu family, and the first elder was a reasonable person.
Yuan Taiping was like a quail with its head shrunk, moving here and there without any idea.
If he had been allowed to come alone, he would have been dismissed by the Qin Liu family by now.
The great elder only summoned Yuan Taiping.
Zhou Jianlai waited for a stick of incense in the yard before Yuan Taiping opened the door with a creak and came out of the elder's room.
Seeing Yuan Taiping's pale face, Zhou Jianlai's heart immediately skipped a beat.
"Brother Zhou, let's go." Yuan Taiping said before Zhou Jian came to ask.
The two of them left the Qin Mansion. Zhou Jianlai couldn't hold it back after all, and asked, "Why, the great elder is also going back on his word?"
"No." Yuan Taiping shook his head.
"No?" Zhou Jianlai was surprised and asked even more confusedly, "Then why do you look like this?"
"The great elder asked me to marry into the Qin family." Yuan Taiping said with a bitter smile.
"Bring-in-law?" Zhou Jianlai frowned, feeling that it was not unacceptable. After all, Yuan Taiping was alone.
Of course, getting married is not a glorious thing for a man. If Yuan Taiping feels conflicted, it is natural for him not to accept it.
"It still has to be a surname change." Yuan Taiping continued, "I can't accept it."
"That's too much!" Zhou Jianlai was furious when he heard this, "When did the Great Elder become so unreasonable?! No, we can't swallow this tone. Let's go back."
After saying that, he turned around and went to Qin Mansion again.
But Yuan Taiping grabbed him and explained, "The eldest elder said that the Qin family needs the second young lady to choose the leader. Otherwise, the Qin family will definitely decline, so no matter who wants to marry the second young lady, he must marry him."
"Then you can't change your surname to marry into your wife!" Zhou Jianlai said angrily. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that Yuan Taiping seemed to have an idea in mind, so he asked, "What are you going to do? Are you just giving up?"
"I will survive on the island tomorrow. The second lady will also land on the island. I want to ask her face to face. If she has the same attitude as the elder, I will let her go. If she is willing to marry me, no one can stop me." Yuan Taiping said with a firm look.
.
"All right."
…
"Tell the Second Young Master that Miss Qin is out of town."
In Zhennan Palace, a guard reported to Su Mou.
"South gate or north gate?" Su Mou asked.
"North Gate."
"What does this stupid woman want to do?" Su Mou frowned, thought for a moment, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Isn't this damn woman trying to go to Taihu City?"
Thinking that Qin Xinru might go to Taihu City to seek help from his father, Su Mou suddenly found it hard to calm down and ordered, "Get your horses ready."
He was going to chase Qin Xinru back.

(I recommend the book "Never Be a Coward" to friends who are not interested in reading. It has a very strange style, a Chinese-style Western fantasy, and it is quite a funny book. I am also reading it.)
