"But, mother, I... this kind of opportunity may only come once in my life, and it may be a bit dangerous, but, mother, have you forgotten, I am not one of those weak scholars in the academy who have no power to restrain a chicken, I am...
"
"You are still not strong enough to reassure your mother." Xiao Tongwen interrupted him, still objecting. "I know that this is indeed an opportunity, and if it succeeds, you can reach the sky in one step, but you should think that if it fails, what will happen again?
how?"
Xiao Jing: "If I just want to live a stable life and not be involved in any danger, then I will just stand still and my life will always be controlled by God, fate, and anyone who is slightly stronger. That's it.
Just like my father back then. If my father had thought less and cared less about what he held in his hands, then my mother would not have suffered for so many years..."
In an instant, the room became dead silent again. There was no sound, and even the breathing of the three people could not be heard.
Even when Wan Qing stayed outside the window, she almost didn't dare to breathe.
After a long, long time, Hongyun seemed to choke, and Xiao Tongwen let out a long sigh.
Xiao Jing was the first to speak, "Dad, Jing'er..."
Xiao Tongwen's voice was a little disappointed, "You're right. It's my fault. I've always been wrong. That's why I put you in this situation... You're right. It's me who made you three suffer for so many years."
.It’s my fault!”
Hongyun cried loudly.
Xiao Tongwen let out a long sigh again, "Go if you want to, and I won't stop you again. However, you have to tell Wan Qing yourself, and say it nicely so as not to make her sad."
"Yes." Xiao Jing's voice paused for a long time, and then continued: "Father, mother, Jing'er is leaving. Jing'er will go find his sister right now."
Footsteps sounded, but within two steps, Xiao Tongwen shouted again: "Jing'er."

"father?"
"If you really want to go, when will you leave?"
"Three days later."
"Three days?" After a pause, "Okay, I understand."
Footsteps sounded again. This time, no one called out to anyone, and no one asked questions. However, Hong Yun's crying was heavier.
Wan Qing didn't have time to think more. She followed the original path, climbed over the wall, returned to her yard, turned out of the corner, and slowly walked towards the small building. However, she did not go upstairs, but was on the ground floor.
Next to the pool below, looking at the fish in the pool, quietly waiting for Xiao Jing's arrival.
Xiao Jing came very slowly, taking three steps at a time, with his brows furrowed, especially when he saw Wan Qing downstairs, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Brother, why are you here? Have you finished talking to dad?" Seeing that Xiao Jing has been hesitant and refused to come, Wan Qing had to take the initiative to speak and walked towards Xiao Jing.
"The conversation is over." Xiao Jing had a faint smile on his face, a little reluctantly.
"What are we talking about?"
"It's nothing." After saying that, Xiao Jing began to bite his lips, gently and again, until his lips were bitten red and almost broken, then he coughed twice and said again: "I'm following
Dad, let’s talk about...my trip away from home."
"Going on a far journey?" Wan Qing wanted to pretend to be surprised and exaggerated, but when things came to a close, she found that she really couldn't pretend, not because she already knew, but because a touch of separation sadness had filled her heart.
.
She is really reluctant to let go of Xiao Jing. She has really liked this little brother for so many years, just like his love for her comes from her heart and soul, without any falsehood. Knowing that he is leaving,
And she still had to face such danger, so she could no longer feel at ease and pretend to be innocent and unaware of sorrow as she usually did.
"Yes, we have never been to far away places."
"When will you come back?" Before he left, she began to miss him. In this world, he was her closest relative, a hundred times closer than Hongyun.
"Soon." Xiao Jing responded.
"How soon is soon?"
"Well, I will definitely come back before my sister gets married." Suddenly Xiao Jing blinked, "If I can find a good background this time, I will find a better husband for my sister in the future, better than everyone in this Qingbo Mansion.
They are all excellent. Okay?”

As if a good idea suddenly occurred to him, Xiao Jing gave a high-five and said, "Yes, that's how it should be. Although this Qingbo Mansion is not bad, my sister is worthy of being a prince and grandson. How can it be so easy and cheap?"
The boys of Qingbo Mansion. It’s settled, my sister must wait for her brother to come back and find you a first-class husband in the world."
Finally, at the end, he remembered to ask Wan Qing's opinion, "How is it?"
Wan Qing wished that the person she was replacing was already seven years old, one year older than her body, so it would soon be time to talk about getting married, and she didn't want that day to come.
"Why should my brother ask me about this kind of thing? I should ask my parents."
Xiao Jing slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, I am confused." Then he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell my parents."
It was a very sad topic, but Xiao Jing covered it up with a few words. When it came time to seriously talk about Wan Qing's marriage, Wan Qing changed the topic again and again, and finally changed the subject.
Xiao Tao came over and asked them to have a meal together. Qin'er also went.
At the dinner table, no one talked about Xiao Jing's departure, but everyone seemed a little dull. Hongyun kept picking up food for Xiao Jing, and Xiao Tongwen also looked at him from time to time. Only Qin'er, as always, just
Eating with her head lowered, she always deliberately downplays her presence in such a family.
Maybe other people really wouldn't pay attention to her because of this, but Wan Qing couldn't always do it. However, every time he saw her appearance, he felt that her existence was very embarrassing and weird.
