Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 171 Working together, the marriage fell through (1)
She squeezed the sachet in her hand, turned around, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, with a smile on her lips.

Outside the window, Feng Qingli stared at the extinguished candles in the house, meditating for a long time.

The night is cold and silent, and the night wind is like a cool breeze.

There were footsteps approaching behind him, but he didn't turn his head back, only heard a low sigh, accompanied by the man's surprised and understanding voice.

"It seems that you are really serious this time."

Feng Qingli turned his head, and he stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like blue waves and clear springs, and they seemed to be radiant with the moonlight, shining like the most beautiful gems in the world.The brows and eyes that were astonished as heaven and man flowed hard, the loneliness and desolation that did not belong to the world, and the eyes were full of clarity and sadness that could see through everything.

Temperament, expression, are very similar to that woman.

My heart suddenly felt a little stuffy.

"Bo Yun, if... would you like her?"

"Huh?" Feng Qingyue's eyes flickered slightly, pouring light all over the place.He smiled lightly, the smile in his eyes remained unchanged, but there was a helpless loneliness and a faint sadness.

"In this world, there are no ifs."

Feng Qingli didn't speak any more, she bowed her head and remained silent.

The next day, Qiu Mingyue was awakened by Red Calyx and Green Kite.I was disturbed to dream of her, and woke up in a daze, with a displeased expression on my face.

"What happened?" He looked up out of the window, it was not yet bright.Feeling even more displeased, don't you know that she hates being disturbed in her dreams?
Lu Yuan and Hong E also knew that they shouldn't disturb her rest, but——

The two looked at each other, and finally Hongye spoke.

"Miss, my lord and Mrs. Xue Guohou brought Miss San up the mountain."

"Huh?" Qiu Mingyue woke up suddenly, "When?"

"Just arrived."

While speaking, Qiu Mingyue had turned over and stood up.Qiu Mingxu slept very well that night, and the red calyx and green kite did not wake her up when she came in. Now that Qiu Mingyue left, she immediately felt a chill around her, and the cold wind blew over.

Pouting her lips, she slowly opened her eyes, staring sleepily at Qiu Mingyue who was being dressed under the service of the red calyx and the green kite, her eyes were still somewhat confused.

"Fifth sister, why did you wake up so early?"

Qiu Mingyue turned around, "Mother and third sister are coming up the mountain, get up quickly." She turned around and asked Hongcalye and Luyuan.

"Where's Cairui? Where did she go?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps from the next door, it was Cai Rui.

"Miss."

Qiu Mingxu was a little upset, "Where have you been? Mother didn't call me when she came? Where's my clothes, why didn't you bring them over?"

Just as Qiuyue got dressed, she frowned slightly when she heard that she scolded a girl.Ming Xu is not a pampered eldest lady, nor will she be unreasonable, and she is usually tolerant of her maids.This morning, she taught a servant girl so unceremoniously. Although her tone was not serious, it did not match her usual temperament.

Then Cairui lowered her head, her face was a little flustered, and she responded in a low voice.

"Yes, I'll get it now, servant girl." She said she was going in a hurry, without even looking up at Qiu Mingyue

Qiu Mingyue frowned even deeper, and in a blink of an eye, Qiu Mingxu's eyes were full of sarcasm and coldness.Immediately understood that there might be something wrong with Cairui.No wonder he often came to sleep with him, presumably because he didn't want to be watched every day.

She walked over without beating around the bush.

"When did you find out?"

Qiu Mingxu was taken aback, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "For several days, she has always been sneaky, sometimes hesitating when speaking. I suspect that she is the eyeliner my mother placed beside me."

Qiu Mingyue squinted her eyes, such a young child has such keen insight.It seems that the past days really cast too much shadow on her, so she is always on guard.

"Not necessarily." But she didn't think that the simple-minded lady would have such thoughts.Recalling that Lu Yuan said that Qiu Minglan had gone to the laundry room to look for her, she understood a little bit.Qiu Minglan placed eyeliner around Mingxu, probably for her own sake.

Ah!She was really restless for a moment.This time, what trick does she want to play?
Cairui has already come out, holding a set of light green silk dress with gold and white flowers in both hands, "Miss, this servant will help you dress up."

Qiu Mingxu glanced at her, sat down indifferently, Ren Rui combed her hair, and then dressed.

Qiu Mingyue asked again, "Fourth sister, are they all up?"

Hong E nodded, "Madam and the others came early, they have already gone to Miss Six, they said that they heard that Miss Six's illness has worsened, and brought the doctor up the mountain."

The corner of Qiu Mingyue's mouth twitched into a sneer, "It's a good excuse, but we are on the mountain, and my mother can know the news here in Beijing. I really have to admire the news."

The people around did not speak, and after changing their clothes, they went to Qiu Minglan's room.On the way, I met Qiu Mingzhu.With a smile on her face, she took the initiative to call Qiu Mingyue.

"Fifth sister."

When Qiu Mingyue turned her head, she saw Qiu Mingzhu in a dress of lake blue and silver rice beads and bamboo leaves, coming with small steps.With a calm expression and a smile, he didn't see the gloomy look of yesterday.

"Fourth sister." Qiu Mingyue agreed happily.

Qiu Mingzhu came over, "I heard that my aunt is here, so I came to have a look."

"I just found out about this news." Looking behind her, he frowned and asked, "Where's Ming Shan?"

Qiu Mingzhu shook her head, "She went to Liumei's place early in the morning."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Then let's go too."

"Ah."

Qiu Minglan was lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, there was a medicine bowl on the small square table beside the bed, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine.Sitting next to her were the eldest lady, Mrs. Xue Guohou, Qiu Mingyu with an impatient face, and Qiu Mingshan with her head down.

"Mother, why did you come up the mountain?" Qiu Mingyu covered her lips with a handkerchief and said softly.

After all, it was her own daughter. Although the eldest lady spoke harshly at the beginning, it was only because of Qiu Mingyu.It hurts to see her so weak right now.

"It's just a typhoid fever. Why did it get worse after only going up the mountain for a day?"

It was obviously a concerned tone, but in Qiu Minglan's ears, it was the eldest lady implying that she was pretending to be weak and sick.

She gritted her teeth secretly, and said: "There is Buddha's light shining everywhere in the temple, so there is no need for Niang to make an extra trip."

Madam Xue Guohou frowned, slightly displeased.The eldest lady didn't know whether she was really stupid or pretended not to understand her sarcasm, but she still cared and said: "Since I know I'm sick, why do I go out? I got caught in the rain for nothing, which made my condition worse."

The tone was half reproachful and half distressed, but it didn't make Qiu Minglan feel the slightest bit of warmth, and she still looked at the eldest lady with a half-smile.
