Chapter 24 Qinghua, here I come
At night, Fanlou.

The hall on the first floor was already packed with guests, and the place was bustling with activity as guests savored Fanlou's specialties and chatted with each other.

Shen Qiu looked at the time and estimated that it was about time for Guangzhi to take the stage.

"Go, call Guangzhi."

"Yes, my lord."

A moment later, Guangzhi appeared in front of Shen Qiu and bowed respectfully, "My Lord, are you looking for me?"

Shen Qiu took a few steps forward, patted Guangzhi on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Guangzhi, you have to behave well and don't embarrass me later."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best." Guangzhi bowed, his eyes showing a hint of excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, go ahead." Shen Qiu said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord."

Taking a deep breath, Guangzhi walked down the stairs with steady steps, and walked step by step to the lotus platform in the center of the hall on the first floor.

"Everyone, my name is Guangzhi. Today I am honored to be here to tell you a story and sing a song. I hope you will support me."

Guangzhi smiled and bowed to the people in the audience. His voice was as gentle as jade, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze.

The guests in the audience were originally talking to each other, but when they heard Guangzhi's voice, they all quieted down and turned their eyes to the lotus platform.

"It turned out to be a storyteller..."

"If you have anything to say, start now!"

"Yes, hurry up..."

Some guests didn't take it seriously, because storytellers were nothing new and they could see them in other restaurants. However, for the sake of Fanlou, they still had the patience to listen.

Seeing this, Guangzhi smiled slightly, and without further ado, he slowly opened his folding fan and said word by word: "Haven't you heard that there is always a way out? As long as I want to go, the way... is right under my feet."

Guangzhi's voice suddenly rose, with a strong confidence that shocked the hearts of everyone present.

The originally noisy hall gradually became quiet, with only Guangzhi's ups and downs of voice echoing.

"I know clearly that people's paths are not replicable. I am walking on my own path of life. Even if the wind and rain are so strong that I have difficulty walking, even if there are so many thorns that I am covered with scars, I will still smile foolishly. I understand the taste of this..."

At this moment, Guangzhi stood alone on the lotus platform, emitting dazzling light like a star, and the words he said were so contagious.

The guests of Fanlou were originally just there to watch the fun, but as Guangzhi told the story, they were gradually attracted by it and listened to it with fascination, even forgetting to drink and eat.

"it is good!"

I don't know who shouted first, but then the whole hall burst into thunderous applause.

In the private room upstairs, Jiuxuannv and others were also fascinated by what was happening.

"My Lord, this guy called Guangzhi is really quite capable."

Hongluan said to Shen Qiu with a smile while listening to Guangzhi's story.

"Of course."

Shen Qiu raised his eyebrows proudly, "Don't you even look at who trained him?"

"Master, you are so awesome." The other eight ladies looked at each other and flattered him.

"It's a piece of cake!"

Shen Qiu smiled and said, "I am a man who is determined to entertain himself to death in this world!"

"..."

……

In Youdu County, in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, high walls stood tall, keeping all the complexity out.

Inside the exquisite moon gate is a well-tended garden with pleasant scenery, but it cannot cover up a lingering dull atmosphere. Since marrying into the Lin Mansion, Li Qinghua has been like a rose that has lost its moisture. The former beauty and vitality have disappeared, leaving only a lifeless paleness.

But she was different from other women. She neither cried nor made a fuss. She just made a request to Lin Lifeng: give her three months. After three months, she would completely forget the man in her heart and be a law-abiding daughter-in-law of the Lin family from then on.

The two were already husband and wife, and out of love for Li Qinghua, Lin Lifeng restrained himself and agreed to her request.

Lin Lifeng not only agreed to Li Qinghua's conditions, he even secretly vowed in his heart that he would use all his tenderness in these three months to melt the ice in her heart.

Unfortunately, things went against one's wishes. Even though Lin Lifeng would take time out every day to ask Li Qinghua about her well-being, Li Qinghua always had a cold face and kept a distance from him.

In the back garden, Li Qinghua sat quietly on a stone bench with a dull look in her eyes, lost in memories of her time with Chen Jianyu.

That day, Li Qinghua sat alone on a stone bench in the back garden, with empty eyes, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her.

She thought of Chen Jianyu again, the man who, dressed in white and holding a sword, broke into her life like a banished immortal that year.

"Qinghua, when my swordsmanship is perfect, I will marry you in a grand ceremony..."

Chen Jianyu's voice seemed to still echo in his ears, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Li Qinghua's mouth.

Now, she is someone else's wife, and even if Li Qinghua is unwilling to admit it, this is the fact.

At this time, Lin Lifeng walked into the back garden, holding exquisite pastries with a flattering smile on his face.

"Qinghua, look, this is the Bingpo Snow Lotus Cake I bought for you. Eating it can beautify your skin."

Lin Lifeng hopes that Li Qinghua will eat a little and not starve herself.

Li Qinghua didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he was indifferent to everything. He just said lightly: "Just leave it here. I will eat it when I am hungry."

"Qinghua, why are you doing this?"

Lin Lifeng looked at her like this, feeling very uncomfortable. "I know you are still thinking about Chen Jianyu, but the matter is a foregone conclusion. I hope you can get over it as soon as possible. The marriage of a big family is not something you and I can control, not to mention..."

He paused, took a deep breath, and seemed to finally muster up the courage to say: "Besides, my feelings for you are real. I can give you time, but I can't hide it from my father and grandfather for long."

"Mr. Lin, there is still a month left. I will give you an explanation then. Now I just want to be alone and quiet."

Li Qinghua's voice was cold, just like the weather in the cold winter, without a trace of warmth.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Lin Lifeng sighed in his heart, did not say anything else, turned around and left.

Turning his head to look at Lin Lifeng's departing back, Li Qinghua felt mixed emotions.

Although the person she loved was Chen Jianyu, her family forced her and Lin Lifeng to become husband and wife, which Li Qinghua found hard to accept.

"Brother Yu, maybe we really are not meant to be together..."

Li Qinghua murmured in a low voice, as if talking to herself.

Suddenly, a figure appeared silently behind Li Qinghua.

Feeling a presence behind him, Li Qinghua frowned, thinking that it was Lin Lifeng who had returned.

"Mr. Lin, I've already said that I want to be alone..."

But before she could finish her words, that familiar voice came again.

"Qinghua, here I come..."

Hearing this voice, Li Qinghua's body trembled, as if struck by lightning, and she turned around suddenly.

Chen Jianyu was dressed in white, holding a sword, standing in front of her with a heroic look, as if he was still the high-spirited man.

Before meeting Li Qinghua, Chen Jianyu naturally had to pay attention to his image, so he dressed up and no longer looked like a drunkard.
