Chapter 198: Dreams Shattered

After the knot between Saitama and Li Yi was opened, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate, although Shi was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but her son insisted on doing so, she had nothing to do, she could only shift all her attention to Tong Ge'er. Although Saitama is reluctant to let her son leave her, she can also understand her mother-in-law's mentality at this time, and when Brother Tong gets married, she may also think like her mother-in-law and feel that her daughter-in-law took away her son, so Saitama also promised Shi to take Brother Tong into her courtyard.

Qi Guogong sent a letter saying that after Zhang Hou and others returned to Beijing, the emperor was very satisfied with their performance, and Zhang Hou praised Li Yi's merits, and the emperor was also very happy, and he would soon write to the emperor to ask for the title of prince, hoping that Li Yi would return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Although Li Yi was reluctant to live a peaceful and happy life in Shandong, he had no choice, not to mention that he had also obtained Saitama's understanding, so he actively prepared to return to Beijing.

After Saitama handed over Brother Tong'er to Shi's care, he also helped Li Yi plan to return to Beijing, and the first thing was to deal with everyone in the house. Some of the people used in the government were brought from Beijing, so they naturally had to go back with them, and the rest were bought here in Jinan. Saitama gathered everyone together and asked those who were willing to leave, and gave them the deed of sale and some silver for their dismissal. As a result, many people are willing to follow Shangjing, and even if the girls go back, they will be sold again, and they may not be able to meet such a good host. The little guys are also willing to go to the capital to open their eyes, and besides, there may be some good opportunities when they enter the Guogong Mansion. Therefore, only some rough mothers-in-law and miscellaneous servants were resigned.

Only Qiu Yan made Saitama not know what to do, and directly sent her away Saitama couldn't bear it, and she still remembered the love of growing up together since childhood. Because as the big girl next to the master, being sent away in such an unknown way can be regarded as a kind of humiliation. But since she has that kind of thought, it is impossible to let it go, otherwise it is easy to mess with the hearts of others in the yard. After thinking about it, Saitama still decided to give Qiu Yan a chance, if she could come to her senses, it would be her creation.

When Qiu Yan heard that Saitama called herself, her heart went up and down. I didn't know what Saitama would say to herself, and I wondered if it would be that the lady's meaning had been revealed to the second grandmother, so she walked to the upper room and called "second grandmother". I only heard Saitama inside say:

"Qiu Yan, come in. ”

Qiu Yan rarely entered Saitama's house now, and she was still a little uncomfortable when she came in, so she walked in front of Saitama with her head bowed, knelt down and saluted. Saitama didn't wake up Akiyan as usual. Instead, he dismissed the other maids and looked at Qiu Yan quietly.

The black hair was pulled up, and only a silver hairpin was pinned. The inside is a water-pink undershirt, and the outside is a dark green tooth-pinching shoulder, which makes the skin whiter. Speaking of which, Qiu Yan's appearance is indeed outstanding among these maids, but unfortunately this mind is a little biased.

"Get up. Saitama put down the tea bowl in his hand and said. Qiu Yan knelt for a long time, and when she got up, she was a little staggering. She saw Saitama wearing a honey-colored jacket with a pink and purple skirt underneath, a simple bun on her head, and a golden phoenix hairpin inserted. The ruby hanging from the phoenix's mouth swayed slightly, making it even more shining. The East Pearl inlaid on the earrings is not very big, but the halo is soft, even if the layman sees it, he knows that it is the best. Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself when she looked at her dress, and could only comfort herself that she was younger than Saitama and didn't need such a rich jewelry dress.

"Raise your head and speak, do you still need to do this between us?" Saitama's voice sounded again, and Qiu Yan slowly raised her head. At this glance, the already fragile heart seemed to be hit again. After giving birth, Saitama became a little plump, and her already white face became even more crystalline. Although the lips are not coated with rouge, they are as pink as flower petals. Qiu Yan's poor self-confidence is no longer at all, so why is she arguing with Saitama?

"Qiu Yan, you have been by my side for some years, and I have always regarded you and Qiu Shuang as my own sisters, thinking that we had all gone through hardships together. At that time, I thought that I would let you have a good home in the future. Now that you're not too young, it's time to think about yourself. I wonder what you mean?"

"Second grandmother, the slave just wants to stay with the second grandmother and serve you for the rest of your life. ”

"Isn't this childish, can you still not marry for the rest of your life?"

"The slave doesn't want to get married, so she wants to stay with her grandmother and serve her grandmother and, the second master. Qiu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still said the word "second master". Saitama sighed secretly in her heart when she heard this, but she said:

"It's not impossible to stay by my side all the time, Zhang Bao'er by the side of the second master, I have always seen this as good, you are also a childhood sweetheart, he followed me from his father with a good future, and he can be regarded as having a heart for you. I don't know what you think in your heart?" Qiu Yan listened to the first half of Saitama's words, and thought that Saitama had agreed, and her heart jumped excitedly, but after hearing it, she felt that her whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. She said with tears in her eyes

"Back to the second grandmother, the slave maid is unwilling to marry Zhang Bao'er. ”

"What's wrong with Zhang Bao, now follow the second master, the second master's weapon is very important, and when he returns to Beijing, the second master will naturally find a way out for him, it's not impossible to have an official and a half-job, even if you get rid of slavery and become an official's wife, what's the bad?"

"The slave just doesn't want to. Qiu Yan listened to Saitama's words and knew that Zhang Bao was an excellent choice, but now she was pretending to be Li Yi in her heart, and she couldn't listen to anything, but at this time, she had no way to say her thoughts directly, so she could only say that she was unwilling.

"It's strange, what are you thinking, tell me what to hear. Saitama endured the anger in her heart, she had already made a promise to Qiu Yan, but Qiu Yan was not rare at all. Qiu Yan saw Saitama asking herself, but she still stubbornly said:

"Madame said that she let the slave and maid serve her...... Serve the second master. Qiu Yan's voice became lower and lower, and it was almost inaudible to the back, but it was like a thunderbolt in Saitama's ears, she didn't expect Qiu Yan, who had always regarded her as a sister, to share her husband so clearly. Looking at Qiu Yan's flushed face, Saitama said:

"And what do you mean?"

"The slave maid listens to the second grandmother's orders. Qiu Yan didn't understand what Saitama meant, and replied carefully.

"What if I say no?" Saitama asked.

"Second grandma, the slave has no other meaning, and she won't have other thoughts, she just wants to serve you and the second master well. ”

"Yes, so you think so, that means you will never have two hearts for me?"

"The slave maid is dedicated to the second grandmother, and she will never dare to have any selfish intentions. Saitama looked at Qiu Yan's swearing, and said with a smile:

"In that case, as long as you are willing to listen to me, I will not disappoint you. Saitama said as she called out to Autumn Frost to come in.

"Go pour a glass of water. Qiu Shuang glanced at Qiu Yan standing next to her, shook her head slightly, and poured a glass of water on the small table next to Saitama as Saitama said. Saitama took out a small bag from his sleeve and opened it to reveal something like tea leaves, of course Qiushuang and Qiuyan knew what it was, this is the kind of thing that Wang put in Saitama's tea leaves back then. Saitama poured the contents of the paper bag into the glass of water, and then motioned for Autumn Frost to take it to Autumn Swallow.

"You should know what it is, drink it, and I'll do as you wish. Saitama's tone was very calm, and she looked at Qiu Yan quietly. Qiu Yan trembled her hands, took the cup from Qiu Shuang's hand, and slowly put it to her mouth, but she didn't drink it, the consequences of this drinking, she knew very well, it meant that she would never have any more children in her life. The small cup seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in her hand, and finally Qiu Yan still didn't have the courage to drink it. She was full of hope that someone would come to her rescue at this time, and by the way, reveal Saitama's sinister intentions.

Coincidentally, a miracle happened, and with the squeak of the door, Li Yi's figure appeared in the room. Qiu Yan suddenly felt as if she had a protective umbrella, all her grievances erupted, and she knelt next to Li Yi's leg with tears streaming down her face, and said in her mouth:

"Ask the second master to be the master of the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are absolutely sincere to the second master and the second grandmother, and have no other hearts, begging the second grandmother to spare the slave and maid. Li Yi frowned when he heard Qiu Yan's words,

"What's going on?"

"Second master, second grandmother forced slaves and maids to drink the medicine. Qiu Yan cried silently. Li Yi did not get angry at the crown as he imagined, but said impatiently:

"Even if your grandmother does that, she has her own reasons, and she has the final say in the affairs of the back house. After speaking, he said to Saitama:

"Hurry up and deal with it, and let's go to my mother's place to discuss some things. Saitama agreed, and said to Qiu Yan:

"How do you say, drink or not?"

"The slave doesn't drink, and begs the second grandmother for mercy. ”

"Well, that's what you said, and I can't be blamed. To tell you the truth, this is not a medicine at all, just some ordinary coarse tea, take it to try you. You keep saying that you are wholeheartedly devoted to me, but you still have selfish intentions, and you want to have a child of your own so that you can inherit a family business in the future, and it's good to make calculations. ”

Qiu Yan was distracted by Saitama's words, and collapsed to the ground at once. Saitama glanced at her and said:

"I'm with your master and servant, and I don't want you to end up with no result. Now there are two ways for you to choose, one is to find an official media here, tell you about family affairs, and I will give you some accompaniment; the other is that after returning to Beijing, I will send you back to Zhangfu and hand it over to your mother, and marry yourself. After saying these words, Saitama took out another piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Yan, who looked at it and found that it was a certificate from the government.

"I have eliminated your slavery, and your fate with me is over in the future. You go down and think about it first, tell Qiushuang your plan, and she will do it for you. The meaning of Saitama's words is that she doesn't want to see Qiu Yan anymore, and Qiu Yan only understands that her dream is shattered after all. (To be continued.) )
