"I'm the only one who asks." Although Bai Qiaoxuan was unwilling, for the sake of Tong Yuqing's face, he still relented.

Tong Yuqing thanked her again and again, and said with a smile: "I promise to live up to my mission, you just wait to enjoy Qingfu." ”

"Overseer, the spies from Puxi have reported that in recent days, there have been frequent movements of troops and horses in Puxi, and Lu Jingwu and Lu Jingpeng have even visited Mangyan City on the border of Pujiang in person, I don't know what to do."

Qiu Zeyuan sneered: "Lu Tiansheng really can't wait, the rumors in Ye Jin must have nothing to do with him, but it's okay like this, since he has a good birthday, I have to loosen my muscles for him." Bingzhi sent a letter to the three generals Qi Sen, Shen Chen, and Jiang Yuan, ordering them to build trenches within five days and prepare for war at any time. ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Zeyuan turned around and looked out the window, a cluster of iris in front of the courtyard gate was in full swing, snow-white and innocent, golden and brilliant, blue and purple plain and elegant...... They are in the best years of their short flowering period and should not bear the wind and rain.

Overseer ......

Qiu Zeyuan looked back at Yan Bingzhi and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Yan Bingzhi hesitated and decided to tell Qiu Zeyuan, "Overseer, Miss has been waiting for you in the living room for a day, you can see ......?"

Qiu Zeyuan was a little surprised, "Youyo is here?" Why didn't anyone report it to me? ”

Yan Bingzhi replied: "Miss didn't say she wanted to see you, let's not bother you." But the young lady waited in the parlor and refused to leave, and the subordinates thought twice, but came to tell the Overseer that you would have an idea. ”

Qiu Zeyuan twisted and wound the black onyx wrench on his thumb, and finally said, "I know, you go first." ”

After Yan Bingzhi left, Qiu Zeyuan walked towards the living room, obviously a few steps away, but Qiu Zeyuan felt that it was so long to walk all his life......

When he pushed open the door of the living room and saw Yi Youxian in a light gauze white dress standing in front of the window, his heart was even more sour.

Yiyou also saw the person she had been thinking about for more than ten days, a red tear fell on the light veil without warning, she slightly opened her lips and wanted to call people, but she didn't know what to call, father, uncle, overseer or ......

Qiu Zeyuan didn't care about Youjiang, and walked up to her with a light opening of his lips and said, "You have lost a lot of weight in the past few days, I made you feel wronged, I'm sorry." ”

Seeing that Qiu Zeyuan's hand raised in the air fell back again, his heart was gloomy, and he shook his head lightly and said, "You are not sorry for me." ”

Qiu Zeyuan said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you." No matter how unbearable the rumors outside are, as long as I don't admit it, they can't help me. After two years of rumors, I will choose a family affair for you, or if there is someone who can get into your eyes, I will also help you marry him. As long as I am there for a day, no one dares to treat you poorly, and I will give you whatever you want. ”

Yiyou tearfully asked, "Whatever I want, will you give it to me?" ”

Qiu Ze hugged her and said softly: "Of course, as long as you say it, what do you want?" ”

"I ...... I want to ......" The tears in the eyes of the care are getting more and more urgent.

"Let me tell you what she wants!" A loud cry woke up the two people in the hall.

Qiu Zeyuan saw the angry Tong Fengyi and Tong Yuqing who were following him, and immediately understood that Tong Fengyi already knew about it, so he hurriedly pushed Yiyou to Tong Yuqing's side and said, "Yuqing, you take Youyou back to the house first." ”

"No one is allowed to leave!" Tong Fengyi snorted again.

Tong Yuqing grabbed the corner of his father's clothes and persuaded hard: "Father, if there is anything we have to say, let's go back to the house?" This is the Overseer's ......"

Tong Fengyi opened his daughter's hand with a palm, glared at Qiu Zeyuan and shouted: "In vain, when I heard the wind a few days ago, I thought it was some bastard who didn't know the depth of the rumors and caused trouble, and I also grabbed a few people and locked them up, planning to discuss countermeasures with you." But I really never expected it, Qiu Zeyuan, are you still the Qiu Zeyuan I know? Are you hungry enough to have a daughter* who has been raising you for almost twenty years?! As he spoke, he took out the gun in his arms and pointed it at Qiu Zeyuan.

Tong Yuqing saw that there were more and more people coming outside the door, so she hurriedly stepped forward to disperse the crowd and close the door to death. Seeing Tong Fengyi draw a gun and aim at Qiu Zeyuan, Yiyou was so shocked that he directly blocked in front of Qiu Zeyuan, crying and begging: "Uncle Tong, it's all my fault, don't you give birth to Ze...... Anger of the Overseers, you kill me, don't hurt the Overseers, I beg you to ......"

"Do you think I won't dare touch you?" Tong Fengyi took a few steps forward, slapped Yiyou on the ground with one palm, pointed at her and scolded angrily: "You are really like your shameless mother, all of you are a prostitute*!" What did you just say you wanted? You also have the face to speak! You want to be in the Overseer's Mansion and be a serious Overseer's wife, and you don't look in the mirror to see if you're worthy?! Your aunt has only been gone for less than a month, and you can climb into your uncle's bed, which is really your mother's true biography! ”

"Feng Yi!" Qiu Zeyuan picked up Yiyou, who was shrinking on the ground and crying silently, and protected her behind him, "What fire are you coming at me, Yiyou is still a child." ”

"Kid?! You ask her, does she still think of herself as a child?! Does she still think of you as a father? ”

Yiyou never dared to look at Qiu Zeyuan, Qiu Zeyuan saw her like this, and knew in his heart that what Tong Fengyi said was true, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

Tong Fengyi was so angry that his muscles burst out, and he suddenly roared, pulled out the pistol on Qiu Zeyuan's waist and pressed it on his hand, and said, "You kill me." ”

"What are you talking about, Feng Yi? How could I kill you? You go back to the house to rest first, if you have anything to say, will we talk about it tomorrow? Qiu Zeyuan left it and grabbed it, picked up Tong Fengyi and walked out.

Tong Fengyi shook off his hand, Qiu Zeyuan looked at his purple face and blood-red eyes, and felt that there was only one word to describe his current appearance - painful.

Tong Fengyi is indeed in pain, no matter who makes a mistake between him and Zeyuan when he was a child, he is always beaten, and he can only endure it for his brother. When he grew up, he had to live in guilt and self-blame for his younger brother every day, and in the face of a series of open guns and arrows shot at him by his younger brother, he could only bear it in order to reassure his parents. finally had someone she liked, but she loved his lord and his best brother, and he could only let it for the sake of the family inheritance. But the sky even wants to take away the opportunity he is waiting silently, he insists on draining his heart, and now he has to watch Dai Wei's life's hard work go down the drain, why does he still hold on?

"From now on, you are you and I am, you are your overseer, I am my wild crane, farewell."

Qiu Zeyuan blocked the door, "What do you want me to forgive me?" ”

Tong Fengyi's voice and gaze were extremely cold, "Dai Yi is resurrected, and he will leave the house leisurely." Which of these two can you do? ”

Qiu Zeyuan's hand blocking the door slowly slipped down, Tong Fengyi rushed out of the door, and the sound of "bang" shook the three people in the hall.

Tong Yuqing tried her best to stabilize her trembling body, knelt in front of Qiu Zeyuan and begged: "Uncle Qiu, my father is just angry for a while, don't be angry with him, I will chase him back, I will go ......"

Qiu Zeyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That person really sees people in detail and has insight into people's hearts." Now he's just afraid that he's hiding in a corner and quietly watching our show. ”

Tong Yuqing slowed down for a long time before she realized what Qiu Zeyuan meant. Father could easily forgive Uncle Qiu for any mistakes, but he would never forgive him for the sins he had committed against Aunt Dai. It's just that Yiyou is a person that Uncle Qiu will never give up. The person behind the curtain must have grasped the sore spot of his father and Uncle Qiu, and hit him with one blow, forming a dead knot between the two.

No matter what the facts are, Tong Yuqing should still be comforted, "As long as Uncle Qiu is willing to leave a way back for his father, his father will return to you one day." ”

At this time, Yiyou got up from the ground, slowly walked to the two of them, knelt in front of Qiu Zeyuan like Tong Yuqing, and said softly: "Please allow Yiyou to leave the house and move to another garden." ”

Qiu Zeyuan just wanted to object, but Yiyou said again: "Yiyou has something I want to say to you alone, let's go back to the house first?" ”

Tong Yuqing hurriedly resigned.

Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou also set off to return home, a quarter of an hour away, both of them were silent, until they stepped into the door, Qiu Zeyuan had a hint of retreat, "It's getting late, let's talk about something tomorrow." ”

Yiyou tugged at his shirt, and his eyebrows were full of determination, "Say today, say now, borrow your study." ”

Qiu Zeyuan walked into the study step by step, and just locked the door of the study and turned around, he found that Yiyou was kneeling in front of him, he bent over to help Yiyou up, but heard Yiyou say: "This kneeling is the last time I will give you a gift to your nephew." ”

"Don't make a fuss, you get up first."

"I didn't make a fuss, and this may be the only time I've done a little bit of kindness for all of you. My appearance brought shame to the Qiu family, my birth brought death to my mother, my existence brought chaos to others, and my love brought despair to others. I was a mistake myself, I shouldn't have come to this world......" Yi Youyou burst into tears, "You think I hate you for killing my parents, but it's not, I've never hated you, not a day." If I hate them, I also hate them for causing you and my aunt so much pain, and I hate myself for never cherishing your love for me. ”

Qiu Ze saw that this was the case, and it was also sad, he leaned down and stroked Yiyou's forehead, and sighed: "It's not like this, Youyou." You are not wrong, it is us who is wrong, it is the grievances between us that have tired you. After your mother left, I lost my soul, it was you who woke me up, it was you who made me feel that I was still tied in this world, and it was you who added a touch of color to my gray life. You are also your aunt's treasure, and you don't know how much joy we have had because of you. Without you, we wouldn't be able to get to where we are today. ”

Yi leisurely sobbed on the cold jade ground, she pulled out the iris jade handler in her arms and slowly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then got up and lightly opened her lips: "I didn't want to tell you this, the past grievances and grievances, which is right and which is wrong, today I want to find out to you my thoughts......"

Qiu Zeyuan's hands clenched tighter and tighter, but he could only listen to a soft song, "I don't know when I started liking you, and I don't know why I fell in love with you...... Maybe it's from the moment I learned about my background, maybe it's because of your attachment to your mother, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I've fallen in love with you and decided how to love you. ”

Yi Youmei's eyes flowed, and his gentle eyes never left Qiu Zeyuan, "My aunt has just passed away, and according to common sense, I will keep filial piety for her for three years." But don't say that I am married to you, even if I have a little thought about you, I can't help my aunt. So I want to double this filial piety period, and after six years I will consider whether to marry you. In the past six years, I have left the Overseer's Mansion and moved to the Eastern Suburbs Annex, firstly, to take a break from the wrath of Uncle Tong and to avoid suspicion. ”

Before Qiu Zeyuan could say anything against it, Yiyou said again: "Whatever I want, you will give it to me." Did you forget what you said so quickly? ”

Qiu Zeyuan said helplessly: "If you want to marry someone who is compatible with you, of course I will agree to you without hesitation." But if we are not rightly named together, we will be spurned by the world, and I can't let you suffer such grievances. Besides, we are more than 20 years apart, and we are not suitable at all. And ......"

Without waiting for Qiu Zeyuan to finish speaking, Yi You lightly raised his jade fingers to stop him, "Don't tell me those big truths anymore, in my place, those are two words - useless." You should also think about it, I am the daughter of Xin Daiyun who would rather give up honor than chase true love, the nephew of Xin Daiyi who would rather never marry than wait for true love, and the adopted daughter of Qiu Zeyuan who would rather bear shame than stick to true love. If you have anything else to say, just leave it in the microphone or on the letterhead and tell me, I'm going to pack my bags. ”

Qiu Zeyuan watched Yiyou disappear from his eyes like this, it wasn't that he couldn't stop her, but he didn't know how to stop her. For the first time in seventeen years, he regretted his obsession......

"The smoke is light and the glass leaves, and the wind is coral. The red peony is worthy of the god of Mayflowers, and I can see this garden from afar. ”

Yiyou, who was pruning the peony branches, was full of joy when he heard the sound, put down the golden scissors in his hand to greet the visitor, and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to see me today?" ”

Tong Yuqing looked at the snail bun on the top of Yiyou's head, wearing an unadorned plain white moon shadow gauze skirt, and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are willing to do it yourself, serving flowers and plants, it's the first time I've seen you dressed up like this." ”

Yi Youyan smiled lightly, obviously not taking Tong Yuqing's mockery to heart, and instead said: "Although it is not suitable to raise this red peony during the filial piety period, my aunt has always loved flowers and cherished flowers, I think she should not want to bury their beauty because of herself." ”

Tong Yuqing bowed slightly, "It makes sense." Filial piety is at ease in the heart, and there is indeed no need to be confined to these customs. Let's stop standing here and talk, let's go into the house. With that, she hugged Yiyou and walked into the house.

"Till, you all go back and rest, you don't have to serve us." Tong Yuqing commanded.

After the maids retreated, Tong Yuqing turned to look at Xiang Yiyou, and when she saw that she was leaning on the pillow for a while, she closed her eyes and recuperated, and couldn't help patting her and asked, "What, you have to sleep when I just came?" ”

Yiyou opened his eyes slightly, and said coyly: "I don't know what's going on, my body is very easy to get tired these days." ”

"Didn't you ask the doctor to take a look?"

Yiyou smiled: "Do you want to find a doctor for drowsiness?" How busy Morfin is all day long! ”

"Yes." Tong Yuqing shook her head, "Then you wake up first, I have something to ask you." ”

Yiyou instantly sobered up a lot, straightened up and said, "I knew that you would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." If you are a lobbyist for him, you don't need to say anything. ”

Tong Yuqing said angrily: "Look at you, count me down indiscriminately." I just want to ask your mind, I don't want you to do something that you will regret in the future, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and I don't know the hearts of good people. ”

Yiyou's attitude eased slightly, and asked, "You're really not here to persuade me?" ”

"It's not! I just want to ask you, did you say that you would consider marrying Uncle Qiu in six years, was it a moment of anger or sincerity? Lifetime events are not for gambling. He's a full twenty-four years older than you, and you're not a generation at all! He is your adoptive father, your uncle, you are together, this is called*, how much courage and how strong will do you have to fight against the gossip that accuses you? And the most important point, he loves your mother, and he ...... you" Tong Yuqing suddenly paused, realizing that it was not appropriate to say this......

Yiyou raised his hand and waved the tail of his light gauze skirt, and replied calmly: "I know that you are worried that I have never been exposed to wind and rain and will not be able to withstand the blows, but as long as I love him, all the problems you said are not a problem." How about he being twenty-four years older than me? What if he's my adoptive father? The most important thing is that I am not related to him by blood, and we can't talk about it together at all*. You have read so many history books, you should know how much history is more than us. Also, you want to say that the woman he loves is not me, and his love for me is entirely because I am Xin Daixun's daughter, right? ”

Tong Yuqing didn't dare to look directly at Yiyou, and Yiyou said to herself: "I also know this very well. My aunt also said that whether it was her or me, it was because of Xin Daiyuan that she could be sheltered and cherished by Zeyuan. But Yuqing, let me ask you, in this world, can you still find someone who loves me as much as he does? Yiyou said and looked at Tong Yuqing, and said with a smile: "Bai Qiaoxuan?" I'm afraid you'll say that he loves me too, and it's a better choice to marry him. But what does he love about me? It's just my looks, my posture, my youth. If one day I grow old, my fairy posture is gone, and my youth is gone, will he still love me? ”

Tong Yuqing was silent, and said leisurely: "Maybe these are too far, don't think about it, let's talk about the present, is he still willing to marry me, a woman who has already committed to others?" Can he tolerate me as Zeyuan tolerates Xin Daixun as he does? If I could, I had been away from home for more than half a month, and he didn't have official duties, so why didn't I see him? ”

Yi You straightened his waist, and his voice was like falling jade hitting a stone, "I have thought it through, it doesn't matter why Zeyuan loves me, the important thing is that he loves me." Even if this kind of love is not the love you say, none of you can deny that there will be no one in this world who loves me more than him. ”

Tong Yuqing's eyebrows faded slightly, she held Yiyou's hand, and sighed: "Although I am still worried, you have thought about things so long-term, and I don't want to persuade you to give up again." It's just that the road ahead is difficult, and I hope you can get what you want and die happily. ”

Yi You sighed and said, "That's true, although I have made up my mind, Zeyuan still refuses to accept me. And Uncle Tong, I wonder when he will forgive us? I don't care about other people's gossip, but Uncle Tong is different. ”

Tong Yuqing thought that her father had been living in seclusion since she was angry with the Military Administration that day, not asking about the world, and she also threw all the affairs of the Financial Secretary to her, she couldn't afford it, and her mother, who had been tired of ignoring foreign affairs for many years, and Yu Hao, who had not really grown up, did not sleep. I really don't know when and when he will be able to let go of the past and start again......

Yiyou saw that Tong Yuqing's face was full of gloomy clouds, and he also knew that Tong Fengyi's heart knot was not easy to untie, so he didn't mention it anymore, and asked with a smile: "Yuqing!" There's one more thing I'd like to ask you! ”

Tong Yuqing looked at her elated appearance, and knew what she wanted to ask, so she hurriedly said: "I still have official documents in the Financial Department that have not been approved, I have to go back......"

Tong Yuqing was dragged back by Yiyou before she could take two steps, "Who are you fooling?" Can you come here after leaving the official document?! You just sit here and answer my questions honestly. Have you ever thought about the future of yourself and Bai Qiaoxuan? ”

Tong Yuqing's cheeks were red, and she said angrily: "I am me, he is him, what is the future of who and whom?" ”

Yiyou slapped his palm on her, lay down and pillowed his head on Tong Yuqing, and said with a smile: "Although I can't understand the minds of others, I know your thoughts clearly, do you still want to be blinded by your little roundworm?" Hum! Before, you were worried about your marriage contract, but now that Brother Ling Wei and Brother Ling He are gone, and I am in this situation, what else do you have to worry about? If you like him, marry him, why hesitate? ”

From Yiyou's point of view, Tong Yuqing's face was full of joy and sorrow, and Yiyou thought about it and asked tentatively, "Are you worried that Bai Qiaoxuan doesn't like you?" ”

Tong Yuqing couldn't hide the loss in her eyes, so she could only hide her face with her hands, Yiyou turned over when she saw this, turned her back to Tong Yuqing, turned back after a while, and said softly: "Actually, I don't think Bai Qiaoxuan doesn't like you." ”

Tong Yuqing's voice came from between her fingers, "Don't comfort me, I know very well whether he likes me or not." ”

Yiyou shook Tong Yuqing's jade arm and asked her to put down her hands and look directly at herself, "I didn't comfort you. We've been together a lot and I think he's much more comfortable talking and laughing with you than I am with me, and you can talk a lot more than I can talk to him. Your private friendship is also good, didn't he still dissuade you from going toe-to-toe with Brother Ling He after his death? I think he still cares about you. ”

Tong Yuqing asked, "How do you know that he dissuaded me?" ”

Yiyou replied: "He told me, he was worried that you would ruin your future on impulse, so he ......"
