Chapter 19: The Unattainable
Zirou's red and swollen eyes were busy with Xiao Tao, her eyes were full of prayer and hope, that is, she really hoped that Xiao Tao could help her do this.
"How can this be ......" Xiao Tao was so frightened that she sat directly on the ground, her eyes were distracted, and she looked ahead blankly, her eyes were not focused. No, you can't...... How can the slave and the young master ......" Xiao Tao kept saying these words, and her brain had completely forgotten to think.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, in the midst of the commotion of a group of people, the slightly drunk Qi Yunyang left the hall, followed by a small servant, who followed closely beside him.
"You go to sleep first." Qi Yunyang stopped and branched out of the small house beside him.
The night breeze was slightly cool, Qi Yunyang was wearing the red groom's official clothes, sitting in the pavilion blowing a small breeze, he looked at the moonlight in the sky, and was in a daze.
It wasn't until he heard the bell ringing from nowhere, Qi Yunyang came back to his senses and found that the moon had traveled some distance, he stood up and saw the clothes at his feet, and then remembered that tonight was the night of candles in the cave room.
The lights in the room were on, and Qi Yunyang asked the night watchman to push it down, and he pushed the door in.
The person in the wedding dress sat in the center, his hands folded, sitting steadily, looking a little thin.
Qi Yunyang didn't lift his head, he walked to the table where the flower cake was placed, picked one up and looked at it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, the taste was a little special.
After eating a piece of bread, he sat down at the table and slowly poured a cup of tea.
The candle flame flickered, and the figure of the person sitting on the edge of the bed swayed.
In the next moment, the hijab was lifted by the little hand, and the little peach's white little face was revealed, I have to say that she is really beautiful in this wedding dress, she has never been so beautiful.
The average bride is eager to dress up with the smell of fragrance, but she doesn't apply anything, even her hair is scattered, she just wears a red wedding dress.
"Young Master, how can you bully Miss Cousin? Miss Cousin's mind is clear to you. Xiao Tao said a little angrily, she sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes waiting for Qi Yunyang.
Qi Yunyang pulled the corners of his mouth, and he actually smiled.
"It's called Husband."
Hearing Qi Yunyang's words, Xiao Tao was ashamed, and her little face was red and gorgeous, which was even more moving than touching rouge gouache.
"Young master, you can't do this, Miss Biao is still waiting for you in the room now, go find Miss Cousin." Xiao Tao didn't wear shoes, so she didn't get out of bed, she was tired of waiting at night, so she rested on the bed for a while. When I woke up, I didn't know who took the shoes, and in short, they disappeared without a trace.
"What did she say to you?" Qi Yunyang finished drinking a cup of tea and poured another cup.
"Miss Biao said that if I don't replace her as a bride, she will let Miss Ziyan be the bride, and the slave doesn't like Miss Ziyan to marry the young master." Xiao Tao never hid anything in front of Qi Yunyang, what he asked, she said anything, and she didn't think about hiding it.
Qi Yunyang slowly drank tea and thought for a while. "If you promise to marry me, I will treat today's incident as if it never happened, otherwise, I will marry Ziyan again one day."
"Young Master, how can you do this." Xiao Tao wanted to explode on the spot, but she didn't care that she didn't wear shoes, she jumped off the bed directly and strode to Qi Yunyang.
As soon as he walked over, Qi Yunyang put one hand around her waist, took her into his arms, and left his feet off the ground.
"Why are you so careless, what should I do if I catch a cold?"
"Young master, you are not allowed to brush scoundrels." Xiao Tao's face was flushed, and she looked very attractive.
"How am I a scoundrel? Let's talk about it. He looked at her seductive little mouth and laughed again.
His voice was like the jingling sound of a mountain spring, and like a fine wine in the alley, which made people fascinated, and Xiao Tao forgot what he was going to say in his arms.
She shook her little head, trying to keep her awake.
"Young Master, I am your savior, how can you take revenge?" Xiao Tao continued to stare at Qi Yunyang.
"Isn't it good to marry me? If you save me, I will repay you with my own promise, isn't it? Qi Yunyang chuckled, his eyes crooked.
Hearing him say this, it seems to be really good, but Xiao Tao didn't think of it at all, she never thought of staying by Qi Yunyang's side, such an unattainable figure, how could she be contaminated.
Xiao Tao writhed in Qi Yunyang's arms, trying to escape from his embrace, the more she struggled, the tighter Qi Yunyang hugged her, and the two of them were entangled from the table to the bed.
She didn't notice it herself, and before she knew it, she went to the side of the bed and lay directly on the bed, Qi Yunyang hugged her waist and pressed her on the bed.
Xiao Tao's face flushed, I don't know if she was anxious or angry.
"You let go of me, we can't do this, Miss Biao will definitely be angry when she knows it." Xiao Tao was still writhing like a loach, she was very scared, very scared.
"You don't like me?" Qi Yunyang clasped Xiao Tao's body and asked softly in her ear.
Xiao Tao was about to cry, she couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment, and she never thought that it would develop to this point.
"Young master, let me go, I'm just a little girl." Xiao Tao really cried, and the pear blossoms brought rain.
Qi Yunyang didn't care, he took off Xiao Tao's wedding dress, tied Xiao Tao's hand to the top of his head with his clothes, and asked for it by himself.
Xiao Tao is really scared, the current Qi Yunyang is not the person in her impression, obviously he is very cold in his impression, and he will never be stingy with superfluous eyes on her, let alone do these outrageous things.
"That's not right...... Everything is wrong......" Xiao Tao cried very violently, and tears flowed out as if she didn't want money.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, the crying in the wedding room continued, and the people who listened were very worried, outside the door, Zirou's hands were clasped tightly, and she wanted to rush in to save Xiao Tao.
But she didn't go in at all, she knew her cousin's temperament best, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the most cold-blooded and ruthless.
In the early morning, Xiao Tao's body twitched and cried all night, there were no tears, but she couldn't stop the urge to cry, she was very sad, very sad, not because her body gave her the most admired general, but some things have exceeded her imagination, she doesn't understand how it came to be like this.
Outside the house, Zirou personally brought something to eat, which was ordered by Qi Yunyang.
"Little Peach, don't cry, the wood is already in the boat, being a cousin's bride is the dream of many people, you are really a stupid girl, why are you crying like this?" Zirou helped comb Xiao Tao's hair, looking at Xiao Tao with motherly eyes.
Xiao Tao seemed to have found the backbone, and cried even more fiercely in Zirou's arms.
"Silly girl, you're really stupid, didn't you fall in love with that young man named Amu? I'll ask my cousin to give him some silver taels and send him away, you are now your cousin's person, and you have to serve your cousin well in the future, don't be as stupid as last night. Zirou spoke to Xiao Tao like a sister.
Xiao Tao left Zirou's arms, and gradually stopped crying, she thought that because of Miss Ziyan's departure, the general seemed to be a different person, and he also left Furong City soon after, no matter what, she can't leave now.
"No, the slave promised Amu that she would always accompany him, there should be no shortage of food in the city lord's mansion, Miss Biao, you must help me with this matter, don't mention this matter to the young master." Xiao Tao said nervously.
"Silly girl, you can call me sister in the future, cousin is your husband, don't call me young master, he will be angry." Zirou said this to agree to Xiao Tao's words, "But there is no room for sand in my cousin's eyes, you tell that Amu to be careful and avoid your cousin as much as possible, otherwise I won't be able to help when the time comes." ”
"Yes. I will. Xiao Tao cheered up, put on her clothes, and simply drew makeup, but her eyes still revealed a lot of information.
Ning Sumo packed up his baggage early in the morning, and waited for Xiao Tao to knock on the door, and then he took her out of here.
When it was past breakfast time, Xiao Tao was delayed, but he didn't panic at all, and the things she promised must be counted, because she never lied to him.
Xiao Tao was late, Ning Su Mo saw Xiao Tao come in, his hand was originally stretched out to the burden, but when he was about to touch it, he took it back, and he saw Xiao Tao's eyes.
It was as if the heart had been struck by something suddenly, and then slowly sank.
"We probably won't be able to leave now." Xiao Tao stood at the door, her hands and feet were slightly restrained, her hands were intertwined, her head was lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Okay, when we can leave, we'll go together." Ning Sumo's tone was relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Tao raised her head and looked at Ning Sumo, she was happy, because Ning Sumo understood her and understood her compulsion.
Xiao Tao sat down and told her about yesterday's events, not saying that she was forced by Qi Yunyang, but only saying that she was replacing Miss Ziroubiao.
"After a while, the young master will get tired of me, and we will leave here." Xiao Tao said hopefully.
"Okay." Ning Sumo agreed, and he couldn't help but ask in his heart, would that person really get tired of her?
"You're so nice." Xiao Tao was pleasantly surprised, she really didn't expect Ning Sumo to be so reasonable, she was afraid that Ning Sumo would point at her nose and say that she didn't keep her word, but he didn't say anything, which made her feel very warm.
He didn't see Qi Yunyang for several days, he didn't know where he went, and on the fifth day, the people in the palace saw Qi Yunyang riding back on horseback, he was heroic, full of energy, with the joy of newlywedness on his face, after so long, he was still happy about the events of that day.
"Madame, how are you doing?" As soon as Qi Yunyang came back, he asked about Xiao Tao's situation.
"Madame has been accompanied by Miss Zirou for the past few days, and she looks no different from usual." The little guy at the bottom said.
Hearing this, Qi Yunyang put his mind at ease, he was afraid that she would make trouble, although she always lowered her eyebrows on weekdays.
