Chapter 86
86, Manchuan grass
Qianqian subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, and when she opened her mouth, she wanted to refuse.
"No ......"
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, come with me to meet someone." Zhan Liantai raised his hand to stop it, raised his head and sipped the residual wine in the cup, the wine seemed to seep into his eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was faintly red.
He got up and handed his hand to Qianqian: "Do you know where she is buried?" β
Sister? Qianqian hesitated for a moment and stretched out her hand.
Jingjiao Racecourse.
Qianqian looked at Zhan Liantai, who led the horse, frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that it was right here?" Why didn't I see the ...... tomb?"
He fastened his saddle, tugged at his mane, and said, "Go up." β
"I don't ride horses." Qianqian looked at him suspiciously, "You shouldn't be lying to me again!" β
He stubbornly asked her to get on the horse, and when he saw that she didn't follow, he simply picked her up and put her on the horse.
"Heyβwhat are you going to do? Put me down! β
"Sit tight." He stooped down and hung the stirrup at her feet, then grabbed the reins and led the horse forward, "Let's go find her." β
Hearing these words, Qianqian's anger went down again, she grabbed the saddle with her ten fingers, and looked at the back of Zhan Liantai in front of her, her posture has always been tall and slender, but her back seems to be a little rickety, making people feel that the dust falling on his shoulders seems to be vicissitudes.
"...... you," she asked, looking at the back of his head, "have you ever led me before?" β
He didn't look back: "Hmm. β
"No wonder I always feel like you're familiar." She smiled and leaned over β‘ and lay on the horse's back, "Then you also led the horse for Sister A?" How did you meet? β
He led the horse and walked slowly, the sound of the wind blowing through the grass and drifting into his ears, he raised his head and squinted: "It's here." β
Hearing this, Qianqian straightened up and looked left and right: "Where is it?" β
An open meadow with a stream running through it with lush summer grass interspersed with many unknown wildflowers.
Still not seeing the grave, she tried to stretch her neck: "Where is it?" You show it to me. β
"Here, here, here...... Everywhere she looks, everywhere she looks, is her shelter. β
Zhan Liantai raised his hand and pointed at him, and the corners of his lips raised when he turned around: "Her ashes are scattered here." β
Thousands of people were stunned.
He helped her out of her horse, and they headed for the stream.
"What is it for...... she was pale, and she stepped on the stones by the stream, "What are the ashes?" β
Sister Ah is not a lonely ghost with no relatives and no clan, why is she not buried in her husband's cemetery? Why don't you go into the ground for peace? Why do you want to use such a way similar to "crushing bones and scattering ashes", and even the bones are not left?
Zhan Liantai did not answer, but carried Qianqian across the stream and put her on a rock.
It was already summer, and he had been sweating a lot all the way, so he squatted down and soaked his handkerchief, wrung the water and handed it to her.
"Thank you." She covered her forehead and felt that the heat had dissipated a lot, and her mind eased from the shock just now, and she became more and more suspicious: "How do you know that the ashes of Lu Dao are scattered here?" Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you spill it? If it was really you, how could you take care of the aftermath for Sister A? Were you there when she died? β
"How do you ask so many questions at once?"
Zhan Liantai smiled slightly, but his eyes fell into the distance: "It's better to start with the last one." Yes, I was there when Yu'er died, and she was breathed in my arms. β
"Is she in pain...... Qianqian felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and bit her lip tightly: "You call her Yu'er, what is your relationship with her?" β
"I'm the same age as her, and I'm like-minded, but your former brother-in-law is a bad old man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, what do you think I have to do with her?" Zhan Liantai's tone seemed to be a little frivolous, and he raised his eyebrows at Qianqian, "You are so smart, you won't be able to guess." β
Qianqian's heart was half cold, and he shook his head vigorously: "It's impossible to ......"
"Tan Miaofan is not even a monk for you, what else is impossible." He ruthlessly pierced the facts, "Or do you think she is rare to be the Lady of the Imperial History?" β
"From beginning to end, it was your Yu family who coveted glory and wealth, and sold women for glory. No one has ever asked Yu'er if she is willing to marry someone who is old enough to be her father, and she has to share the same bed, do you think she doesn't feel disgusting? People who don't hate the Yu family? Zhan Liantai was upset for Yu Meiren, and her words gradually became angry, "No matter how rebellious she is, it's not her fault!" The fault is only that she has a good looks, but she does not have a good family background to match, so she can only be coveted and manipulated by others! β
Back then, Qianqian was too young to understand the grievances and sorrows between adults, but now she can understand Sister A, but this does not mean that Zhan Liantai can blame her family. She retorted: "I don't judge whether Sister Ah is right or wrong, maybe it's because my father and mother are greedy for power, maybe she has no choice, but you're not, as a dignified seven-foot man, you know that she is a married man but you are still entangled, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if your affairs are discovered?" Do you want to kill her?! β
"What about you? Now that you have found a wishful man, haven't you done any despicable things and used some unsightly means? Zhan Liantai was dismissive, "Xiao Yu'er, you are not much nobler than me." β
"It's different, I'm not like you......" She tried to defend herself, but he interrupted.
"The only thing that is different about you is that your life is better than Yu'er." After the emotional catharsis, Zhan Liantai quickly regained his composure, "Okay, I didn't bring you here today to argue with you about this, but to confess one thing, in front of Yu'er." β
He leaned over and spread out his palms, brushing them lightly on the flowers and plants, and his voice became soft, but these words were not said to Qianqian.
"Do you remember the first time we met? That's not just an accident, but I designed it. β
He waited for three days and three nights at the Mandarin Duck Bridge, and finally waited for her to come with an umbrella, and the down-and-out and handsome young man really caught her attention.
"At first I just wanted to be able to get close to you and find out useful information, you asked me how I used to make a living, in fact, I have always helped people, and there are a lot of dirty deals...... At that time, I needed a chance to get ahead, and I was all about how to climb up, so I chose you. β
"You will definitely scold me for being unscrupulous, but you can see that it is precisely because of my unscrupulous means that I am where I am today, and I often tell myself that I can't regret it, but I regret it very much."
"I regret being too confident, thinking that you can stay with me for the rest of your life, but I don't know that you are sorry and guilty, and you commit suicide in anger...... I regret letting you find out that I set up a trap, I regret lying to you that you are going to copy the handwriting of the imperial history to write a letter of resignation, and let you steal the letter, what I regret even more is-"
"For what do we have to give each other our hearts? If it's all a hypocrisy, how can you and I end up like this......"
The breeze ran through the fingertips, and the weeds rattled, perhaps in response from the undead.
"It's you!"
From the initial disbelief to the burning of anger, Qianqian stood up and pushed Zhan Liantai: "You are the one who caused my family to be ruined!" It was you who schemed and planted the blame, and killed hundreds of people! The imperial history was destroyed because of you, and Sister committed suicide because of you, and you are the culprit in everything! β
She can ignore the hardships of displacement since childhood, but there are so many lives in the Yu family, so many people in the imperial history case, and her dearest sister actually died because of the person in front of her, how can she not be angry? She wanted to kill him now!
Qianqian thought so and did so, there were no dagger weapons around, she pulled out her hairpin with lightning speed, and stabbed towards Zhan Liantai.
The sharp hairpin pierced his clothes and pierced his flesh, and the placket of the moon-white clothes was immediately stained with a large cloud of red, like the most bewitching peony.
He didn't hide.
It wasn't until the palm of his hand was burned by the hot blood that Qianqian gradually eased his breathing and slowly raised his eyes to look at him.
Zhan Liantai's lips were pale, but his face was calm, and there was even a smile in his eyes: "Are you satisfied if you kill me?" β
She hated him for still having such an indifferent look at the moment: "It's cheaper to kill you!" Your sins are unforgivable, and you will not be able to atone for the evil you have done in the eighteen layers of hell! β
"Yes, I know I have sinned...... Ahem-" Zhan Liantai coughed and bent over, the hairpin was not a dagger after all, and Qianqian's wrist fell to the ground as soon as he loosened it. He slowly wiped the blood from the corners of his lips and struggled to straighten up: "I am not telling you this to beg for your forgiveness, or to find a reason for myself, there is no need, because the person who deserves me to do this is dead, and she is sleeping here." β
Qianqian suddenly became vigilant: "Then what do you mean...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness?! β
Seeing that she looked like she was going to run away, Zhan Liantai smiled: "It takes a lot of trouble to kill you, Ruan Qiyi can pinch your neck, cough - Xiao Yu'er, I was just working hard for the unjust case back then, if you think that you will get revenge for killing me, I have nothing to say, I will be at your disposal today, but the mastermind will always be at large." β
Qianqian picked up the hairpin, and when she heard these words when she wanted to stab it, she immediately hesitated.
He continued: "If you want to kill all your enemies, you must spare my life. I said that we would send them to hell together. β
"I ......" Qian Qian couldn't make a choice, hesitated for a moment and said, "How do I know that Lu Dao is not your quibble to get rid of the crime?" β
Zhan Liantai asked rhetorically: "If you want to get away with it, why should I tell you the truth and ask for hardship?" β
She was speechless.
"Ge Mi must have told you about the imperial history case back then, and you also know that Zhou Xiang was the initiator." Zhan Liantai took out a handkerchief and pressed the wound, seeing that she was silent, he knew that she had been shaken, so he continued, "So I'll take you to see him in three days, huh?" β
Qianqian put the hairpin back into her hair and bit her lip fiercely: "...... Good. β
"If you can stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly, the plan for revenge will be half the success, and you will need to sacrifice something if necessary, such asββ"
"I know the truth, I don't need you to say more!" Qianqian's heart was in a panic, interrupting him to nod indiscriminately.
Zhan Liantai didn't say anything more, took her back, and picked her up on the horse.
He still led the horse in front: "After the matter is completed, I will let you go." But I have a wish. β
Today's events made Qianqian difficult to accept, and she was in a trance and absent-minded: "What? β
"If I die, you will burn my body, and half of the ashes will be sprinkled here, and half buried under the willow tree of the Mandarin Duck Bridge."
Encounter and separation, beginning and end, the place of his love in this life is guarded by the eternal years of thousands of years after death.
The author has something to say: Originally, after the previous chapter, Ji Lu planned to start the ultimate scam directly, but I always felt that it would be very abrupt for Qianqian to rashly agree to the uncle, after all, it was a person with a baby! She wouldn't be so impulsive, and she needed to be given a strong reason, so this chapter was a rival play, and the little monk didn't appear...... o(β―β‘β°)o
It's not hue that Qianqian needs to sacrifice! Rest assured! It can only be used by the little monk alone~\(β§β½β¦)/~ Lalala
The recent update is so weak, I'm guilty~~o(>_
