The ugly queen's expression was very complicated, but the words she said were understatement.

Shu Qing was slightly stunned, and felt how similar he was to her.

It seems that Ugly Ji, like her, also has a painful past that is difficult to look back on, and has also gone through a lot of hardships. Those scars are hidden deep in their hearts, and they are difficult to uncover.

Since Ugly Ji didn't want to say it, Shu Qing didn't continue to ask, Shu Qing just smiled and casually brought the topic: "Do you know, Ugly Queen, sometimes I feel like I have known you for a long, long time, and you and I have been friends before." Maybe it's because I'm so close to you, so I have this feeling of seeing each other late. ”

Shu Qing said, turned his face with a smile, and looked at the ugly girl.

Hearing this, the ugly queen seemed to be a little nervous, her eyes wandered erratically, and there was some shiny fine sweat on her forehead.

Shu Qing only thought that he had put too much pressure on her, and said with a busy and gentle smile: "Actually, I don't mean anything else when I say this, I just want to tell you that you can find me anytime, because we are friends." ”

The ugly girl nodded in a panic, and was relieved to see that Shu Qing did not doubt it.

Walking along the cobblestone path for a few more moments, Ugly Queen's expression slowly softened, and she put her hands behind her back, and her steps became very soothing.

Shu Qing saw her abnormality, so he stopped his pace and asked with concern, "Ugly Ji, what's wrong with you?" You seem to have something on your mind lately? ”

Shu Qing's mind is exquisite, and it can be seen from the conversations with her on weekdays that the ugly Ji has always been absent-minded recently, and often wanders away while talking.

The ugly queen came back to her senses and blushed: "No...... No. ”

Shu Qing pursed his lips, but he didn't ask.

The ugly girl struggled for a while, and suddenly looked at Shu Qing again: "Actually...... Actually, I've been experiencing something lately. ”

Shu Qing showed an encouraging smile: "You might as well talk to me." ”

Ugly Ji took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind, and said hesitantly, "I...... I recently fell in love with a man. ”

"Really?" Shu Qing was a little surprised, but a little happy, "This is a good thing." ”

It may be a good thing for an ordinary woman, but for an ugly girl, it's a disaster.

Ugly Queen's hand slowly covered the old scars from her face: "But who would like a woman like me? I'm so ugly, so scary, the men in the cottage are either scared by me or laugh at me mercilessly when they see me......"

Shu Qing frowned: "Ugly Ji, don't be presumptuous, your appearance is not eternal, even if you have a beautiful face, there will come a day when you will grow old and become ugly, you have a kind heart, this is the most precious." ”

The ugly queen shook her head, with a deep despair in her smile: "No, all men in this world are the same, they don't care about any kind hearts, they only like beautiful faces." ”

Shu Qing was speechless, she herself seemed to be the best example, she was once as fat as a mountain, she had never been favored by a man, and when she transformed from a fat man to a slender and graceful girl, there was never a lack of men beside her.

Although what Ugly Ji said didn't seem to be wrong, Shu Qing always felt that there would be exceptions for men in this world.

Shu Qing stretched his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me what kind of person the man you like is?" ”

"He ......" mentioned the man, the ugly girl's expression was much softer, her eyes looked into the distance, her eyes were full of admiration, the girl's thoughts were revealed on her face at this time, "He is a very perfect person, he is very different from other men, he is very gentle, but also very infatuated, I can feel it, the way he looks at me is different from others......"

Shu Qing smiled: "Since you said that he is different from others, why don't you want to try?" Maybe he appreciates your simplicity and kindness. ”

"But......" Ugly Lady lowered her head hesitantly, breathing heavily, a little nervous, "but can I really do it?" ”

Shu Qing clenched her shoulders and encouraged: "How do you know the result if you don't try it?" Do you want to wait until a hundred years from now? ”

Shu Qing is such a character, if she really likes a man, she will definitely take the initiative and will never let herself have a chance to regret it.

Ugly Queen blinked, lost in thought.

Shu Qing smiled again: "If you don't want to show him your heart, it doesn't matter, you can get close to him first, stay by his side, and then treat him better, I believe that in time, he will definitely be able to feel your heart." ”

Shu Qing thought about it carefully, her situation was indeed different from that of the ugly queen, maybe this method would be more suitable for the ugly queen.

"Thank you, Shu Qing!" Ugly Ji smiled gratefully, "If there is good news, I will be the first to tell you!" ”

The two walked around the back garden of Changfu for a while, until it was getting late, and the ugly girl said goodbye to Shu Qing and rode back to Heifeng Village in a carriage.

Night falls.

There has been no progress on the matter of illicit salt.

Lin Ziyue ran between various businesses for several days, but he didn't find any clues, Fu Dongli's "business" with them gradually began to get on the right track, but Fu Dongli's help was just some ordinary business, and he didn't show his fox tail at all, Mo Wengu's secret letter has been sent out for seven or eight days, and it is time to receive a reply, but I don't know why, but there is no news for a long time.

Just as Mo Wengu was dressed and was about to go to Changfu, there was a knock on the closed door.

Mo Wengu opened the door, only to see that the person who knocked on the door was Xiao Er in the store.

"Young Master Mo, this is the letterhead brought by the messenger just now, and it is said to be for you." The shopkeeper respectfully held a tightly sealed letter with both hands and said.

Mo Wengu's heart moved, and he guessed that maybe it was a reply from the capital.

"Thank you." Mo Wen Gu Chongdian said politely, then took off the big hat on his body and walked back to the room quickly.

The door was closed, but it was pushed open by a pair of hands.

Lin Ziyue entered the house, looking a little tired.

When Mo Wengu saw him, he hurriedly beckoned: "Brother Lin, you came just in time." There is a letter from the capital, let's open the letter and watch it together. ”

Mo Wengu tore open the envelope, took out the letterhead inside, and looked carefully, it was really sent from the palace, and like the letter he sent, only some innocuous little things were written on the front of the letter.

Mo Wengu took out the special potion and carefully smeared it on the back of the letterhead, and soon, the words "Yongning Wharf" jumped on the paper.
