Chapter 12 Unsolved
"Then...then when I came out from Suiyun's place, Chanjuan told me that the young lady had left first. I asked the servants in the mansion, and they said that the young lady had gone to the backyard, so I quickly chased after her."

"Then you saw me throwing myself into the lake, didn't you?"

"Yeah," Qiqiao nodded, her eyes turned red again, "The lake is so cold, I just watched Miss jump."

Regret haunts Qiqiao.

If she persisted in not following that Suiyun, Miss would not...

"Okay," Shen Tu gently wiped away the tears in her eyes, and comforted, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Today's Fuhua Temple is still full of incense, and Shen Tu follows behind everyone, praying sincerely.

After praying for blessings, the old lady still has to talk to Master Puji of this Fuhua Temple, so that everyone can walk around in this temple casually.

Shen Tu was upset at the moment, so he took Qiqiao to wait outside the mountain gate of Fuhua Temple.

After a cup of tea, Wang Liuying also came out, but instead of coming towards them, she walked in the opposite direction and talked to a young woman.

Qi Qiao waited bored, so she looked around.

There is a hundred-year-old ginkgo tree in Fuhua Temple, but on this winter day, its branches are already bare, and Shen Tu looks at the depressed ginkgo tree in a daze.

According to Qi Qiao's words, after Qi Ye came out from Qin Yurong's place, he went directly to the small lake behind the mansion. If he knew what Qin Yurong had said to Qi Ye, he might know why Qi Ye threw himself into the lake.

Can……

There was another thing that puzzled her, and that was why she appeared by the lake.

There is no memory of that period in my mind, as if it was deliberately erased.

But even this Arabian Nights-like time travel made her meet, and it seems that it is not so impossible for a memory to be erased.

"Miss," Qi Qiao suddenly said, "Look, is that Young Master Xiao?"

Xiao Gongzi?
Shen Tu raised his eyes and looked in the direction Qiqiao pointed.

Xiao Shilian?
Did he come to this Fuhua Temple to pray for blessings today?Standing next to him was his mother, who must have accompanied his mother.

The one next to him is probably his third brother Xiao Shili. She has seen him several times, but she can't see clearly from a distance.

"Thanks to Mr. Xiao's timely rescue that day, the lady was safe and sound." Qi Qiao beside her said.

Xiao Shilian saved them, he was not in good health, in such cold water, he—

"I heard that Young Master Xiao fell ill after going back." Qiqiao told her the news.

She heard from her grandmother about the Xiao family.

At that time, Mrs. Xiao had just picked Tanhua, and she was very happy, but somehow ran into Mrs. Xiao who sneaked out of the house. The two fell in love at first sight, and then they naturally got married.

And now Master Xiao, who is now the Minister of Rites, has also fulfilled the promise he made back then, that there will be a couple for life, and the four sons of the Xiao family are all descended from Mrs. Xiao.

"Miss."

"Miss?"

"Huh?" Shen Tu replied in a muffled voice, "What's wrong?"

Qiqiao was a little surprised, "Why did Mr. Xiao come to our direction?"

"This Fuhua Temple is not our territory, we don't care where he goes." Having said that, seeing Xiao Shilian getting closer and closer to them step by step, Shen Cu still felt uncomfortable .

Would it be better not to visit him?

The purse tied around her waist fell apart for no reason, just as she was about to ask Qiqiao to help her tie it again, when she raised her head, she bumped into a pair of eyes that were as black as ink.

She is familiar with this fox fur and this appearance.

"Young Master Xiao." He spoke with difficulty.

"Miss Fifth is in good health?" Xiao Shilian asked aloud.

Shen Tu, who was still stuck in the memories, was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, the loose purse was still in his hand, "It's all right." She replied, "On that day, there will be more young masters to rescue me." .”

"Fifth Miss, you are welcome, you are her younger sister, that's what Shi Lian should do." Xiao Shilian gathered the fox fur on his body, looked at the empty carriage, a little puzzled, "Fifth Miss is... "

"Wait for grandma." Shen Tu replied truthfully, "She has something to talk to Master Puji."

Xiao Shilian nodded lightly, expressing his understanding, "At that time, Lian won't bother Miss Fifth, and I will go to offer incense with my mother."

She could only hide her emotion and nodded, "Okay, eldest son, let's go!"

Xiao Shilian said that because she was her younger sister, he should save her.

The bitterness seemed to have spread from the bottom of her heart to her mouth. Looking at his leaving back, she never felt that her heart could be so bitter.

If she didn't fall into the water and enter Qi Yu's body, in a few months, when the spring blossoms, she will become his wife.

It was estimated that after waiting for another half an hour, she was half leaning on Qiqiao, and she was about to doze off and fell asleep. Only then did Mrs. Qi come out with Qi Yue, and under Qiqiao's reminder, she quickly cheered up and stood up straight.

When she went back, she would naturally share the carriage with Wang Liuying.

When she came here, she still insisted not to let herself fall asleep. After the tossing all the way, she was tired and sleepy, and she leaned against the carriage and fell asleep without knowing it.

The carriage seemed to have stopped halfway, but she was dizzy and her eyelids were so heavy that she didn't bother to ask what was going on. The rouge smell on Wang Liuying's body was too strong, so she could only lean her face against the breathable curtain.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Qi's residence, and Qiqiao lifted the curtain to wake her up.

Shen Tu slowly opened his eyes, and subconsciously responded, "Huh?"

"It's time to get off the carriage, Miss." Qiqiao said.

The old lady and the others had already gone in, and after Shen Tu got out of the carriage, the driver took the last empty carriage and left.

"What time is it?" she asked.

"It's time." Qiqiao replied.

Shen Tu rubbed his stomach, no wonder, it's too late.

"Miss must be hungry!" Qiqiao helped her step over the threshold carefully, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get some of my favorite food later."

-

Since coming back from Fuhua Temple to pray for blessings, Shen Cu has been staying in his courtyard. It has been a while since Qi Yue came to Qi Ye. From the initial eagerness to return to Qi Yue's body, now he is ready to return forever Be prepared not to go.

It's just - if she can't return to Qi Yue's body again, wouldn't the small coffers she had saved in the past three years be given away to her for nothing?

OMG!

How can you do this!

Three years!That bulging, heavy and reassuring piece of silver is just given away like this?
If she had known about today's events, she would have stuffed the silver into the jar and buried it under the tree.

After all, life is impermanent and the world is unpredictable.

As soon as Qiqiao entered the room, she saw Shen Tu who was raising her forehead and frowning, and suddenly a bad feeling came to her heart, so she hurried over. "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

After waiting for a while, Shen Tu didn't respond.

Qiqiao became anxious, "Little..."

"Qiqiao."

"Hey," Qiqiao quickly responded, "Miss, Qiqiao is here!"
