Two days later, Xiaoqingshan, Peach Blossom Forest.
noon.
There are hundreds of steps along the bank. There are no trees in the middle, the grass is delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful.
The scene described in "Peach Blossom Spring" in the previous life appeared before my eyes. The pink peach blossoms were close to each other and crowded with thousands of branches.
However, the protagonist right now is not the Wuling fisherman, but Wei Changtian.
The figures walking through the forest are not secluded villagers living in a paradise, but several young women dressed in different clothes.
The sun is warm and sunny, the wind is soft and the peach blossoms are green and the smoke is trailing.
The breeze slightly lifted the skirts of some women, and their white ankles were looming, making them look comfortable and beautiful in the sunshine.
"Son..."
Walking side by side in the forest with Wei Changtian, You Jia looked at Xu Qingwan who was picking flowers with Yangliu Shi not far ahead, and asked in a low voice:
"Miss Xu...does she know that I am a dragon bird?"
"have no idea."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I haven't told anyone about your matter."
"That's good..."
You Jia nodded with relief and gently picked off a few peach blossom petals that fell on Wei Changtian's robe with gentle movements.
That night, after Wei Changtian said the slightly crude "confession" of "I actually like you", she revealed all her secrets.
Looking back now, Youjia doesn't know why she made this decision at that time, nor why her love for Ning Yongnian was so "vulnerable".
She just thought at that time that even if Wei Changtian killed herself after learning the truth, it would be far better than being an abandoned child.
But the latter did not kill her.
After Wei Changtian listened, he was silent for a long time, then held her hand and said softly.
"It doesn't matter, it's all over."
"..."
This is something that man would never say.
You Jia knew very well that if the same thing happened to Ning Yongnian, he would definitely be greeted by a ruthless Emperor's sword light.
"Master, Li Huaizhong..."
"You don't have to worry about this."
Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at the worried You Jia, knowing that she was worried about the trouble caused by "failure to complete the task."
"I will take care of everything for you, just don't worry."
"good......"
Youjia responded softly, bowed her head and said nothing.
The spring forest is quiet, the birds are chirping slightly, and the stream gurgling in the distance.
Wei Changtian didn't say anything. He walked slowly on the green grass that was about to sprout. He thought of Ning Yongnian's plan that You Jia had confessed to him.
Use the abandoned monks of Fulian Temple to create conflicts between the Wei family and Buddhism, thereby further weakening the power of both parties.
Although this conspiracy went bankrupt after he chose to hand over Yujia, he also earned 200 system points.
But if Yang Liushi hadn't noticed something unusual about You Jia and reminded him in time... then what he would be facing now might be a completely different situation.
Alas, the process of power struggle is really like walking on thin ice.
Wei Changtian sighed secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change.
Now that he knows Ning Yongnian's plan, half of his goal of conquering Youjia has been achieved.
As for the remaining half...
Um?
A burst of floral fragrance drifted through his nose, and Wei Changtian suddenly felt a warm little hand entering his palm.
This little hand seemed to hold her fingertips timidly. Although it was warm to the touch, it was not as soft as the hands of Yuan'er, Yang Liushi, and Lu Jingyao.
It's almost the same as Xu Qingwan.
A little surprised, he turned his head and glanced at Youjia, whose face was flushed. At that moment, a ray of sunlight fell through the gaps between the peach blossoms, turning into round spots of light.
When the wind blew, light spots danced on the pink skirt. Youjia raised her head and looked back with a quick breath, and her hair and eyebrows were all sparkling.
"Wei, Mr. Wei, I have indeed lied to you before..."
"But, but it will never happen again..."
"Don't lie to me, okay?"
"..."
Eyes full of hope and longing were close at hand. Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then looked into You Jia's eyes and replied calmly:
"good."
"..."
Suddenly, a white cloud opened in the sky, and the sun poured in instantly.
Her body was shaking slightly uncontrollably, You Jia held Wei Changtian tightly with one hand, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with the other hand.
These are tears of emotion and joy.
I have heard too many perfunctory words and deceptions, too many unfulfilled promises... Youjia's expectations for the future are actually very simple.
She only hoped that Wei Changtian would not treat herself as a pawn that could be used like Ning Yongnian, and that Wei Changtian would not lie to herself.
Therefore, this "good" is of great significance to Youjia.
Not only does it mean that she has a man she can rely on and trust in the future, but it also means that she is no longer the dragon bird who "can't help herself in life or death".
However, Youjia didn't know.
This "ok" is actually deception.
...
...
Two days later, it was the tenth day of March.
After arranging everything in Shuzhou, Wei Changtian left Shuzhou as scheduled and secretly went to Jizhou to discuss with the Xu family about "exterminating Liu".
The people accompanying him include Chu Xianping, Zhang San, Qin Zhengqiu, several masters of Freemasonry, and You Jia.
In order to deceive others, except for these people, no one else knew where Wei Changtian and the others were going and for how long.
It's not even clear when they left.
"Miss Xu, don't wait any longer. Let's eat quickly."
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Suyue was persuading Xu Qingwan, who was waiting at the door of the small house, to go back to the house for dinner.
"The master and Zhang San should usually be back at this time. Since they didn't come back today, they must have gone out of the city to do business."
"oh......"
Xu Qingwan looked away with some disappointment and asked in a low voice: "Can Zhang San tell you when they will come back?"
"No, he just said he wanted to go out with the master for a few days."
Li Suyue shook her head and comforted: "Miss Xu, although it is not very peaceful now, as long as the master and the others don't go to a place like Jizhou, nothing will happen to them."
"Um."
Xu Qingwan nodded noncommittally, followed Li Suyue through the courtyard, and returned to the dining room to prepare for dinner.
Yang Liushi and Liang Qin were both there, but they didn't see You Jia.
"Where's Miss You?"
She asked casually, and everyone shook their heads to express their ignorance.
However, Yuan'er thought for a while and then suddenly said: "Miss You seems to have followed the young master and the others."
"I went to clean Miss You's house today, but I found that a few pieces of clothing were missing. I think Miss You took them away."
"..."
The group of women in the room just nodded after hearing this, but they all had different thoughts in their hearts.
Liang Qin: Humph! So angry! I’m jealous!!
Yangliu Shi: What is the purpose of bringing the dragon bird with you on this trip? Is there no danger?
Li Suyue: Alas, the master seems to have been too close to Miss You recently, and has become alienated from other girls.
Achun: Okay! Master is going out!!
Xu Qingwan: A few days ago, I clearly told Wei Changtian that I wanted to go out with him... But why did Changtian not want to take him with him, but he wanted to take You Jia with him...
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window lattice, and the orange-red dusk hides countless women's little thoughts, little joys, little worries, and little longings.
