But it is a matter of life and death, Emperor Yan is detoxifying, and he can't stay in the Jin Kingdom.

"Good ......," Bai Qingyan bowed, "but Yufeng...... If you take it back, it will still be said to the public that I rejected your gift. ”

"This is my brother's heart." Xiao Rongyan had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, "If you don't accept it, my brother can't feel at ease." ”

"It's a futile criticism." Bai Qingyan was resolute, "If Mr. Hong can successfully detoxify Emperor Yan this time, I will not be too late to accept it, otherwise with the virtue of the Shuoyang clan, I am afraid that we will force our Bai family to hand over this heirloom treasure, but it will disappoint Emperor Yan and Mr. Xiao." ”

Bai Qingyan's words are true, what the Shuoyang clan is like, Xiao Rongyan has not seen it.

"Then I'll take it back, and I'll treat it as Miss Bai who is temporarily stored here by Xiao." Xiao Rongyan rubbed his fingers against the jade cicada in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, handed the jade cicada over, and said gently, "Since that's the case, Miss Bai will accept this first." ”

Jade Cicada......

Her pupils trembled slightly, when Xiao Rongyan gave her the jade cicada in the previous life, it was her most embarrassed.

Xiao Rongyan asked him to take his jade cicada and run for his life......

Unexpectedly, in this life, Xiao Rongyan sent this jade pendant to her again, with a warm tone that was completely different from the previous life.

"This is Mr. Xiao's personal belongings, and it doesn't make sense to accept it." Bai Qingyan's hand hidden in his sleeve tightened slightly.

Xiao Rongyan took a step forward, blocked the sight of Mama Qin and Chun Tao with his back, grabbed Bai Qingyan's thin wrist more than he could, and put the jade cicada into Bai Qingyan's hand: "This is my mother's relic, a master gave it to my mother back then, saying that it could keep her safe, and then ...... The palace was in chaos, my mother hung the jade cicada that never left her body on me, and asked my uncle to take me to escape, and I was safe and sound......"

Xiao Rongyan retreated slightly, staring at the towering trees in the courtyard that sprouted tender green spring buds.

The chaotic scene back then, Xiao Rongyan still remembers it now.

I also remember that my mother hung the jade cicada on him, hugged him tightly, and told him to save his brother and live well.

That was the first time Xiao Rongyan saw her mother's tears in her memory, she was such a strong and powerful person, because she was convinced that her husband couldn't even protect his children, what kind of despair it should be, Xiao Rongyan didn't understand at that time.

Afterward...... When his brother had a child and was assassinated by the remnants left by his father, he could vaguely understand that his mother's heart was like a knife.

Seeing Xiao Rongyan staring deeply at that big tree? It seems to be caught in some kind of emotion.

"At that time, the big tree of the palace was taller than this one? Uncle took me to hide in a tree, covered by dense foliage and branches? I saw my father coming? I wanted to call for help, but my uncle covered my mouth? I watched the black-clad assassins of the palace fall to their knees on my father's side, and I knew that this was my father's intention. ”

The lifelike jade cicada still has the temperature of Xiao Rongyan's palm? Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at ...... It's really exactly the same as the jade cicada in the previous life.

Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes? Withdrawing from that heavy emotion, he turned his head and looked at Bai Qingyan deeply: "So, I once swore an oath...... If I marry one day, I must believe in my wife. Protect her for the rest of her life. ”

His deep, bewildering eyes? just looked at Bai Qingyan quietly, and even made Bai Qingyan have a ...... There was an illusion of expression in his eyes.

It was as if it was his promise to her.

Bai Qingyan held the hand of the jade cicada and tightened it gently, and then held the jade cicada and returned it to Xiao Rongyan: "Such a precious jade cicada, how dare you accept it?" Please also ask Mr. Xiao to take it back. ”

"If you don't even accept the jade cicada, then how can Xiao explain to his brother? Miss Bai still doesn't have to embarrass Xiao. ”

Without waiting for Bai Qingyan to refuse again, Xiao Rongyan changed the topic with a smile: "On the sixth day of April, the third prince held a hemp ball competition? Don't you know where Big White Girl goes? ”

"At that time, let the junior take a few children to the lively scene, and I won't go." She turned to look at the smile? "Is there something ...... Mr. Xiao do?"

"What if I want to invite you?"

Xiao Rongyan's mellow and warm voice came? Bai Qingyan's heart skipped a heavy beat.

His deep gaze is calm and sincere? Bai Qingyan turned his head to avoid Xiao Rongyan's gaze, and said, "I have always disliked that kind of excitement, I'm afraid I will live up to Mr. Xiao's good intentions." ”

"It's okay, Miss Bai just came back from southern Xinjiang, and the successive banquets haven't rested well, let's ...... It's a long time coming. Xiao Rongyan said.

Bai Qingyan didn't say anything, and when she reacted and wanted to return the jade cicada to Xiao Rongyan, Xiao Rongyan had already saluted Bai Qingyan and left.

She carefully looked at the jade cicada in her hand, and even the corner of this jade chan was exactly the same as what Bai Qingyan had seen in her previous life.

But she couldn't figure it out, since it was her mother's relic, it was so precious, why did she ...... in the previous life Xiao Rongyan wants to give it to her?

If it is a symbol of status, even if he gives her a token, it is more appropriate than a jade cicada.

Why is that?

She clutched the jade cicada tightly, and was called over by the Dong family without thinking too much.

"What the hell is going on between you and that Mr. Xiao?" Dong's brows furrowed, "From our Bai family's funeral...... From the beginning of Mr. Xiao's help, I felt that something was wrong, so Mr. Xiao...... Do you have other thoughts on your mind? ”

In the end, the Dong family is from the past, especially Xiao Rongyan's eyes when she looked at Bai Qingyan and did not hide it, she was naturally worried.

"Auntie, what's the matter! I've vowed not to marry for the rest of my life! You can rest assured...... With Mr. Siu, I know how to measure. Bai Qingyan took Dong's arm and sent her back to the courtyard.

Hearing her daughter say that she would not marry in this life, Dong's heart hurt.

The displeasure in his heart also quietly dissipated, and he actually said good things about Xiao Rongyan: "Although Mr. Xiao is a businessman, he has a good bearing, good looks and talents. A-Niang asked you if you don't blame you, if you also think that Mr. Xiao is good, and you take into account that you have vowed not to marry in this life, you can consider letting Mr. Xiao join the Bai family. ”

"A-Niang, the more you talk, the more chaotic it becomes!" Bai Qingyan's ears turned red, "What's the trouble!" Unfilial piety is great, and there is no hope for my heirs, so why delay others? Even if I don't marry in this life, I can let myself live happily, A-Niang rest assured. ”

Dong pursed his lips and glared at Bai Qingyan: "A-Niang is just not at ease, so I told you this!" Your grandmother is still waiting for Changyuan until now, and she said that it was because you regarded Changyuan as your own brother! That's always the case, right? A-Niang is afraid that A-Niang will not be there in the future......"

Dong couldn't help choking up when he said this, and squeezed his daughter's hand hard, restraining his tears: "A-Niang is afraid that you will be alone!" ”

"Auntie, I have sisters! Our sisters have always had a deep relationship, so you don't have to worry so much! ”
