Chapter 172: I can't hide it after all

Some things can't be hidden after all, just like Qinglan's awakening.

Even though Fluttershy doesn't keep her promise, she goes out and tells Nanfeng the news of Qinglan's awakening, and Nanfeng tells Xiao Zheng, who ...... Of course, no one was told, but he didn't say anything, and everything went according to plan. By the time he went to visit Qinglan in the past, everything was self-defeating.

Xiao Zheng looked at Qinglan on the bed, her face was already a little ruddy, although it was not obvious, but it still looked a lot better. He unconsciously touched his face, thinking about how close their brother and sister were back then, but now ...... It's as if touching my sister's face has become a luxury. This feeling of being close at hand but far away from the end of the world made Xiao Zheng's heart unconsciously twitch.

Xiao Zheng has never blamed Qinglan, and he has no intention of blaming at all. For so many years, all he had in his heart was self-blame, and he felt more and more self-blame, especially after Lan Yi was framed and imprisoned, his sense of self-blame increased day by day. But to his relief, Qinglan finally walked out of the dilapidated thatched house, even if everything was as usual, but as long as she was in his sight, it was already better than everything. Even if you just look at it like this, it can be regarded as comforting in your heart.

Qinglan's eyelids blinked twice inadvertently, all of this couldn't escape Xiao Zheng's eyes, but Xiao Zheng didn't break it. He just grabbed Qinglan's arm and grabbed her wrist, the slender wrist seemed to be no different from when she was a girl. Qinglan couldn't stand it anymore, she struggled to break free from Xiao Zheng's grasp, and everything was self-evident.

"Yi'er is okay in prison...... I've already looked for Jing Zhaoyin and learned a little bit about it...... Although he hasn't promised me anything yet, what the adult means is that although this crime is very sensitive now, there is no definite evidence, and the criminal department will not convict me arbitrarily.

"But there is one thing, I still have to tell you the truth......" Xiao Zheng sighed, he left the bed gloomily and paced to the side of the window lattice, Qinglan's eyes also opened suddenly, and a look of curiosity followed Xiao Zheng's body. He seems to have lost more weight these days...... No wonder, his body was not strong in the first place, and perhaps it was because of this that he started to be Langzhong...... What's more, he also suffered a stab from himself......

Qinglan's mind was spinning rapidly, but Xiao Zheng's words quickly dispelled her compassion. She heard Xiao Zheng say, "Yi'er has indeed suffered a little in prison, although I have tried my best, I still feel ashamed of him!" ”

Qinglan got up from the bed, "Have you been to see Yi'er?" Qinglan ignored her weak body, she struggled to get up so fast that her head felt like she was going to be unconscious at a certain moment, but she stubbornly held on, she must not allow herself to fall again!

Qinglan's anxious eyes stared at Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng shook his head silently.

"I didn't expect your heart to be so ruthless!" Qinglan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just ......" Xiao Zheng stopped talking.

He should indeed admit that it was his ruthlessness not to see Lan Yi for the first time, but at this critical and sensitive time, his every move may bring opportunities to the enemy, he has already neglected once, the consequences are unbearable for him, and he will never allow himself to make any more mistakes! Even if he himself understood this truth, Qinglan would not understand, and perhaps she would also understand, but as a mother's heart, she could not achieve true peace at this moment.

"It's just that you don't treat him as a relative at all!" Qinglan said coldly, Xiao Zheng didn't refute, not by default, but just didn't want to make Qinglan even more excited.

"Qinglan, I know that you won't forgive me for anything I say now, and you won't believe me...... But it doesn't matter, as long as you stay here and ask me to continue to take care of you, that's enough! Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I won't leave here until Yi'er is released from prison." Qinglan's words really made Xiao Zheng unexpected, he stared at Qinglan with shining eyes, as if asking, is her sentence true?

It's a pity that Qinglan didn't give him an answer, only gave him a cold back of the head, because after saying this, she lay down and turned her back to Xiao Zheng.

Everything in the room was so silent, how beautiful would it be if there were no worries? It's a pity that all this is a silent duel, not silence and beauty at all!

Xiao Zheng walked out of Qinglan's room alone, the time was not yet noon, and the sun was already extremely fierce. Xiao Zheng covered his head with his hand, and he saw the sun that he didn't dare to look at. He fixed his mind and walked outside, he had more important things to do, more important doubts to explore, he couldn't slow down anymore.

Qinglan couldn't lie down so peacefully, after Xiao Zheng left, she also got up and quietly walked out of the door, everything outside was so comfortable, unfortunately, she didn't enjoy such a comfortable mood at all, on the contrary, the more beautiful everything she saw, the more anxious and angry and even irritable she became, and her hatred for Xiao Zheng became even stronger.

Mo's business is still business as usual, and although she no longer has any energy, Fluttershy still insists on staying at the counter, after all, nowhere else seems to be playing her role. Nanfeng hasn't come back yet, Feng Yao is still in a daze in his room, and the two guys don't know where they are busy. Qinglan just wandered from the back hall to the front hall, and walked to the door of Mo Huitou in the casual gaze of everyone, she looked at the crowd on the road, she couldn't say what kind of feeling it was.

With her faded clothes, pale face, and sad countenance, she really had no attraction in this unturned visitor.

Qinglan just stood under the eaves of Mo Huitou's porch like that, for a long time, she had never observed the crowd on the street like this. Perhaps, she doesn't even have this mind and opportunity at all. Once in the courtyard of the deep house in the Blue Mansion, and later came to a remote deserted house, for so many years, her movements seem to have been isolated from people and the world. Seeing this coldly today, it made her feel like a world away.

Qinglan's dull gaze stayed in the crowd, but she didn't know that there were two pairs of eyes on the other side that had been staring at her for a long time, although those two pairs of eyes did not appear specifically for Qinglan, but I have to say that Qinglan had indeed become the prey in their eyes. When Zhong Shiwei, who was told the news, also appeared at the door of Linglong Pavilion with a little curiosity, he couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes for a long time as if he couldn't see this complicated world clearly, but the woman in coarse cloth clothes without powder gave him the feeling of five thunders, and he even wondered if he was having some kind of nightmare! In this warm autumn season, he was completely cold from head to toe.

Zhong Shiwei's face was now very ugly, he looked at the woman opposite as if he was in a different world, obviously, Qinglan's eyes seemed to have drifted to Zhong Shiwei's body in this crowd. Ten lights for more than ten years, the tall young man has changed to a middle-aged appearance, and the body that was once well-proportioned has accumulated more fat. The only thing that didn't change was the look in his eyes, as hot as he had seen him for the first time, but it would be more accurate to call it horror now.

For Zhong Shiwei, Qinglan doesn't seem to have changed much over the years, although her expression is indeed a little older, but the charm of the year still exists, especially those eyes, and the heart-wrenching eyes, Zhong Shiwei will not forget until he dies. Although this body's outfit is a little different from his imagination, it is nothing at all.

"She's Qinglan? Is it really Qinglan? That Qinglan, who hasn't been heard from since a few years ago? Zhong Shiwei couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, his nervous feet stood in place as if they were stuck by something, he didn't dare to move forward, he didn't even have the courage to say hello, he just stared straight at the woman there!

"How could that be Qinglan? Xiao Zheng is now a leading figure in the capital, how can he make his sister dress so tattered? How could that be Qinglan? How could she be dressed as a Taoist aunt? Zhong Shiwei hesitated in such a contradiction.

Qinglan also saw Zhong Shiwei, but she didn't seem to be surprised at all, let alone feel dazzled, she just glanced in that direction twice, and then turned around and went back to Mo Hui, until Zhong Shiwei couldn't see that person anymore.

"Have you seen that person before?" Zhong Shiwei asked the subordinates around him, and the subordinates all shook their heads.

"And when did you see her coming?" Zhong Shiwei asked again, but the subordinate continued to shake his head.

"Do you know who she is?" Zhong Shiwei continued to ask, and the subordinate shook his head.

"Rubbish! Guys who don't know anything! What do you want!? Zhong Shiwei spat on the ground fiercely, he looked in the direction of Mo again, and went back viciously.

Now Mo and Xiao Zheng are more and more worried that Zhong Shiwei can't feel at ease, he worked so hard to find Qinglan's whereabouts back then, but he didn't know anything. After so many years, he thought that their brother and sister would not appear again, but he didn't expect Xiao Zheng to appear in front of him so swaggeringly! Although he also wanted to ask Qinglan's whereabouts, but thinking about the tigress in his house, that curiosity was ruthlessly dispelled. What's more, what can he do if he knows Qinglan's whereabouts? Or can you continue to threaten Xiao Zheng with her?

Maybe it's not that Zhong Shiwei has compassion for a while, it's that he really doesn't have any clues from Xiao Qinglan! Today, she appeared like this without warning, completely breaking his only remaining illusions, it seems that the reality is much harsher than he imagined, Xiao Zheng is even more difficult to deal with than he imagined!

However, there was no turning back from the bow, and he could only go down step by step.

Qinglan knew Zhong Shiwei, and she also knew that he was in the Linglong Pavilion here, which used to be her brother's property. Although she has lived in seclusion for so many years, she still knows everything about Zhong Shiwei, what she wants to know and what she wants to know. The more you know, the more your heart dies......
