Chapter 21: No suspicions
Qingyang Xiaocen was silent for a moment, Bai Xiaoman saw that he still didn't agree with his intentions, the anger in his heart burned urgently, and he began to sneer: "I can understand that men always have a natural heroic feeling when they treat women, just like we women are born with maternal feelings in the face of men, this is all instinct, and we can't help it."

Qingyang Xiaocen tried to explain: "I just can't accept that a child who has been very cute since he was a child suddenly became the femme fatale in your mouth." ”
Bai Xiaoman put down his chopsticks and shrugged: "Don't mind, Mr. Qingyang, don't change your attitude because of my words, if you are willing to believe that Yu Yaoqin is still a kind and good child in her bones, please excuse me, because in her world, what she does is indeed not a bad thing." ”
Seeing Qingyang Xiaocen staring at him, Bai Xiaoman explained: "Let's take an analogy, do you feel guilty for stepping on an ant to death? Or, if you want a few intact fox skins, so that you can make a big one that is especially warm when you go out in winter, and hunt a few foxes, will you blame yourself for this and feel that you are heinous? ”
Qingyang Xiaocen shook his head and was very cooperative.
Bai Xiaoman clapped his hands: "In the same way, in Yu Yaoqin's eyes, I, and everyone except for her, are no different from ants and foxes, in her eyes, she doesn't have any heinous evil deeds, she is just asking for what she wants normally, how can she have the slightest sympathy for ants who are not of the same level as her?" She doesn't even have the least respect for people, and she has no reverence for life, and such a person has nothing to do with kindness at all. Take you, her father Zheng Wangye, or her cousin the current Emperor Xuanguo, for example, the meaning to her may be different, but if you touch her thoughts again, such as something she wants to get or do, if you oppose it and get in her way, in her eyes, you are the worst person in the world, and she is just a normal need, and she will never think about it, whether she has done something wrong, this difference in values, do you understand? ”
Qingyang Xiaocen listened, and at the same time put down the chopsticks in his hand, holding the wine glass, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the rim of the glass, and waited until Bai Xiaoman's words landed, he turned his head to look at her, his eyes did not blink, and his eyes were extremely focused.
Bai Xiaoman picked up the chopsticks, took several bites of food, and looked sideways: "Don't admire me." ”
Qingyang Xiaocen snorted: "Don't think too much, I'm just thinking, where did you learn these words." ”
"You don't like vulgarity, huh? It doesn't matter, the words are not rough, the horse that can run out of the way is a good horse, otherwise I will be for a long time, all of them are also, but you didn't listen to your heart, is it not the same in vain? ”
Qingyang Xiaocen exhaled heavily, and then said slowly: "You have some truth in what you said. ”
Bai Xiaoman saw that he was very upright, and what he said just now could be regarded as listening, so as not to let her speak in vain, he was happy in his heart, and saw that Qingyang Xiaocen looked lost again, so he patted him on the shoulder, with a big sister's posture: "Brother, it's a good thing to know that mistakes can be changed, I used to have a friend, and he always insisted that his lover was just a good girl who was a little willful, but I could see that the girl was a femme fatale, for this matter, we didn't know how many times we quarreled, and when we said it, we pinched, and after the trouble, we didn't have much contact, It's been two years, and there have been several things, and he realized that the woman was really not a good bird, and he also found that he misunderstood me, and blinded me with a good heart, and then he took the initiative to find me to admit his mistakes, and I also had a pimple in my heart, and I always felt that the friendship could not go back to the past. So, you're not alone, it's men who are prone to make this mistake, I understand, but I don't sympathize with you. ”
After saying that, he laughed a few times, and was busy eating vegetables again.
Qingyang Xiaocen's expression changed slightly, and after listening to her, it took a while before he asked seemingly casually, "Your friend is a man?" ”
Bai Xiaoman was dissatisfied: "How clear I said just now, did you listen to it?" ”
"Listen, you are so worried about him, and you blindly admonish him to stay away from his lover, isn't it your favorite family?"
When Bai Xiaoman heard this, he slapped his chopsticks on the table: "What are you talking nonsense?" It's an ordinary and pure friendship between us! Do you understand friendship? It's what it means to be a friend! ”
Qingyang Xiao Cen squinted his eyes, with an incomprehensible expression.
In fact, what Bai Xiaoman said was about her in modern times, that man was indeed one of her buddies, put it in ancient times, so that an ancient person could understand that it seemed a little difficult to make pure friendship between men and women, but he couldn't explain it truthfully with Qingyang Xiaocen, right?
Seeing Bai Xiaoman explain in a hurry, Qingyang Xiaocen snickered in his heart and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable." ”
Bai Xiaoman showed a stunned expression: "I was already very eloquent. ”
"These truths are very convincing, but they sound very good, where did you learn them?"
Bai Xiaoman was not happy to listen: "Do you still need to learn?" Can't I create my own? All the above words are original to me, you don't accuse me of plagiarism! ”
Qingyang Xiaocen smiled: "Okay, even if you say it yourself, then where have you been influenced to say this great truth?" ”
Bai Xiaoman didn't want to say more: "My hometown! ”
"Cangguo? When did women become so insightful? Qingyang Xiaocen asked strangely.
Bai Xiaoman waved his hand: "I've told you, why don't you remember, you don't take what I said to heart, do you?" I'm from Cangguo, but I'm not from Cangguo. ”
"Then you are from Yaoshan? I've heard you mention it, and it seems that you know Yaoshan very well. ”
Bai Xiaoman shook his head again, and Qingyang Xiaocen was completely aroused: "But your appearance doesn't look like a native of Xifan and Southern Xinjiang, is it Minghai?" ”
Bai Xiaoman stopped him from continuing to guess: "Don't guess, you won't know if you say it." You don't have to, anyway. ”
Qingyang Xiaocen clasped his hands around his chest: "You can't always be from another world, right?" Otherwise, how can there be no reason not to guess? ”
Bai Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, you guessed it, I am from another world." Unexpectedly, you turned out to be the first to find out. ”
Qingyang Xiao Cen showed a surprised expression: "You are from another world? Are you a ghost? ”
Bai Xiaoman was so angry that he glanced at him fiercely, and Qingyang Xiaocen laughed.
"Yes, yes, I'm a ghost, I'm here to catch you, are you afraid?"
Qingyang Xiaocen shook his head: "Don't be afraid." ”
The two of them ate a few more mouthfuls of food peacefully, and they were all full, after the meal, Qingyang Xiaocen still wanted to drink a few cups of tea, Bai Xiaoman was not used to it, and he drank it once and fell asleep almost until dawn, so it was better to drink some hot water according to the old rules.
"I'll ask the kitchen to fry some more salt for you, you go and apply it, listen to Qiu Xiang, the effect is good."
Bai Xiaoman touched his shoulder, smiled and refused: "No need, my shoulder is not uncomfortable, tomorrow must be a good weather, but unfortunately, the mountain road is muddy, and I still can't climb the mountain." ”
"It doesn't hurt to wait two more days."
Bai Xiaoman nodded.
"I'll take you there then."
"Come on, sir, be a neighbor with you, the house was burned, I was scolded for breakfast, I was whipped for playing chess, for my safety, you still don't go with you, maybe this time the county lord of Yaoqin, who is very affectionate to you, will directly send a killer!"
Bai Xiaoman said busily.
Qingyang Xiaocen glared at her: "If you don't let me take you there, you just look at the scenery, and you can't understand the customs, and you won't have fun." I'm very familiar with Jincheng, don't regret it. ”
Bai Xiaoman suddenly thought that Qingyang Xiaocen didn't seem to be busy, and asked curiously: "By the way, I always want to ask you these days, how do you think you usually have nothing to do, are you Qingyuan going out of business?" Shouldn't you be busy with such a big business? ”
Qingyang Xiaocen pointed at her; "Can you be careful when you speak? Our Qingyuan business is very good, don't curse us. ”
"Who will handle the big and small matters of Qingyuan? You won't hand it all over to Steward Fang, will you? ”
Qingyang Xiao Cen smiled leisurely: "Count you smart." ”
Bai Xiaoman sighed: "Envy, be an idle rich and noble person, and travel all day long, you have eaten, drunk and played all over Jincheng, right?" ”
Qingyang Xiaocen looked proud: "That's nature." ”
Bai Xiaoman suddenly envied him, he could stay in the place he was most familiar with, she used to dislike the city she lived in was dull and mean, but now that she has left home, she found out how happy it is to be able to stay in the city where she lives all the time, without having to force herself to adapt to a strange environment.
"You know what? In my hometown, Jincheng is not a simple place name, all the beautiful cities with stories can be called Jincheng, 'over the sorrowful place, fireworks are Jincheng', 'Jincheng is full of flowers, killing tourists', how beautiful. ”
Qingyang Xiaocen turned his head to look at Bai Xiaoman's side face, slightly distracted, under the candlelight, Bai Xiaoman's facial features became extraordinarily soft and beautiful, Qingyang Xiaocen found for the first time that people like her also had a sad side.
When the lights went out, there were several low knocks outside the door of Qingyang Xiaocen.
Qingyang Xiaocen got up and opened the door, Fang Jingzhuo came in and handed over a tiny scroll in his hand, Qingyang Xiaocen opened it and looked at it a few times.
"Anything else?"
Fang Jingzhuo shook his head.
"Judging from the information of the investigation, there is indeed nothing suspicious about this Bai Xiaoman."
Qingyang Xiaocen said in a low voice, closed the scroll as he spoke, and sat down.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Qingyang Xiaocen didn't answer and asked: "Tell me your opinion, Jing Zhuo, tell the truth." Handing over the scroll, Fang Jingzhuo quickly glanced through it, and then handed it back to Qingyang Xiaocen.
After thinking about it for a while, he said cautiously: "I think this scroll can be trusted or not. ”
Qingyang Xiaocen looked interested: "Oh? You don't even trust the men you sent out? ”
Fang Jingzhuo explained: "Her huge wealth and unfathomable secret guards in martial arts, although they can explain the source, I always feel that it is not so simple. ”
"You're right, sometimes when we can't trust our eyes, we trust our instincts."
"Sir, do you think she's different?"
"Bai Xiaoman, it's not simple, let's stare at it first, fortunately, even if she goes home, she will be under Qingyuan's nose."
