Chapter 297: Confidante
Since Liang Yiming sent someone to visit, Qi Yunshu began to become worried, and there was no longer the freshness and naturalness that he had sat on the stone steps with Zhao Jing before.
Several times when Zhao Jing noticed her, he found that she was wandering.
"Lady, lady......" Zhao Jing gave Qi Yunshu a few chopsticks and dishes, she didn't even react at all, just looked down at the bowl, so that he had to call twice.
But Qi Yunshu was unconscious, and the chopsticks never moved in the bowl.
Zhao Jing's deep eyes sank, shooting out a cold light like a cold pool, but she didn't expect Liang Yiming to have such a deep impact on her!
He was now more and more curious about what had happened between the two of them!
"Eldest sister, brother-in-law called you!" Qi Yueniang, who was sitting next to Qi Yunshu, pushed Qi Yunshu to wake her up, looked at her with envy on her face and said:
"Look brother-in-law, you are so good to your eldest sister, I know that you like to eat this eight-treasure ball, and you have been serving you vegetables! It's just that the eldest sister was thinking about something just now, thinking so engrossedly, that she didn't even pay attention to her brother-in-law! β
Qi Yueniang's words were envy and praise on the surface, but in fact they were instigation, which was tantamount to deliberately reminding everyone in front of everyone that maybe the relationship between Qi Yunshu and Zhao Jing was not as good as they saw before, otherwise how could she even ignore Zhao Jingli.
Zhao Jing hid the coldness in his eyes, lowered his head and looked at Qi Yunshu with a concerned face, and whispered: "Did the lady suffer from the cool breeze outside the city today and feel unwell?" β
Qi Yunshu's mind was dizzy, she hadn't yet figured out the true intention of Liang Yiming's move, and now she was overwhelmed by Qi Yueniang and Zhao Jing's repeated greetings, and she stabilized her mind and said:
"I'm fine, but when I saw this dish, I remembered the Suiyuan Food Shop in Nancheng Town, and this eight-treasure balls used to be our signature dish!"
She casually made an excuse, and everyone believed it, but Zhao Jing didn't believe it.
I'm afraid he is the only one here who remembers that the Suiyuan Restaurant has never sold Eight Treasure Balls at all, because the menu is written by him every time, and he has never seen it.
But at this time, who would be stupid enough to really correct Qi Yunshu's mistakes, and used this reason to smile and cover up the past.
Qi Yunshu saw Zhao Jing's smile in his eyes, his smile at the moment was a little fake, but his thin lips were raised, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he was unhappy!
Alas, come to think of it, Liang Yiming is really a ...... She had tried so hard to get him out of her present life, but he often appeared unnoticed and easily broke all her defenses.
Zhao Jing is such a sensitive person, her mood has changed so much, how can he not see it?
She was now hesitant to confess to him and tell him what she really meant, so that the two of them would always guess at each other, and in the end it would not be beneficial to anyone.
After returning from the banquet in the Qi family hall, Qi Yunshu has been thinking about this matter.
She wasn't a struggling person, but this matter made her embarrassed, and she finally made up her mind to tell him.
But Zhao Jing didn't wait for him for a long time.
Qi Yunshu couldn't help it, so she had to put on her coat and sneak into the study, only to see that the candlelight in the room was still on, and Zhao Jingqi's long figure was reflected in the lamp, looking lonely and bleak in the autumn night.
Wait, no, he is not the only one in the shadow under the lamp, and there is another petite figure swaying beside him.
It's a woman!
Qi Yunshu's heart jumped, and she immediately compared the maid ring in the courtyard in her mind.
Since the last time something like Qin Yin and Wenqi happened, Zhao Jing had put the people who were serving in Yuqing Courtyard in order.
Like Mrs. Yu, who was the original gatekeeper, was replaced by Zhao Jing to Mrs. Lu because of her inability to do things and Qin Yuru's eyeliner.
and Xiao Ru and Xiao Guo left in the original yard, only Xiao Ru remained, and they were replaced by a person named Apple.
The rest of the cuts were replaced, and the entire yard was almost cleaned once.
But Qi Yunshu looked at the slender figure inside, but it was a little unfamiliar.
The girl ring in the courtyard is basically not tall, but this one standing has Zhao Jing's ears, a few centimeters taller than her.
Resisting the urge to push the door in, she quietly moved to the pomegranate tree outside the study, listening to the sound of conversation inside through the shadow of a few bushes.
"Master, you asked me to find out, Qi Yunniang did get along alone with the second prince in the Beijiang Restaurant that day. Last time, the second prince at the foot of Qingyun Mountain actually rushed up to save her regardless of his own safety! The woman's voice rang out.
"Why?" Zhao Jing's voice was as cold as ice.
"I don't know about this for now!" The woman shook her head.
"But master, I have long advised you, a woman like her is not worth your troubles for her, her heart is not in you at all, and she will do something embarrassing sooner or later......"
Zhao Jing's hand was raised slightly, and the fair woman's words stopped abruptly, and then she looked out the window and shouted angrily: "Who is it!" β
Qi Yunshu turned around and wanted to leave, but felt a gust of wind pass by in her ears, and the slender woman's figure moved, and appeared in front of her.
"It's you!" The fair woman sneered, and there was mockery in her eyes.
Qi Yunshu was so frightened by her scream that her heart was "fluttering", and at this time, she was stabbed by her eyes like having an iron hook, but she was more angry, raised her eyebrows, straightened her waist and said, "Who are you?" β
This is the courtyard where she and Zhao Jing live, and she is also the owner, why should she be frightened by a woman who doesn't know where Zhao Jing came from?
"Hmph, it's quite horizontal!" The slender woman is wearing a black night dress, wrapping her body in a curved 1 line Bi Lu, delicate and 1 exquisite, plus she is tall, with a clear silhouette and prominent facial features, the whole is a modern model, both in appearance and figure, Qi Yunshu who has not yet fully grown is a big cut.
Qi Yunshu glanced at her bulging murderous part, and her heart was a little sour.
It turned out that Zhao Jing actually had such a beautiful confidante.
felt a little uncomfortable, originally she had conceived a lot of heartfelt words to confess to Zhao Jing, although she would not tell the modern things between her and Liang Yiming, but at least she had to explain to Zhao Jing that she had never had a relationship with the current Liang Yiming, and there would never be one in the future.
But now she looked at this scene, and when she heard what the fair woman said to her just now, her head was hot, and she turned her eyes to Zhao Jing and said loudly: "Didn't you say that we are husband and wife, why don't you ask me directly if you have any questions about me, but let her investigate?"
You can rest assured, no matter how you check, I will definitely remember my identity, and I will never do anything to tarnish this identity while this identity is still valid! β
She shook off the harsh words, pushed away the fair woman who was holding her back, and turned to run.
The long skirt was torn by the bushes, making a "hiss" crisp sound, and she didn't scruple about it, because she was afraid that as soon as she turned around, her swollen and hot eyes would not help but shed tears!
Zhao Jing chased out, only to see her pale blue figure disappear in the corner in front of the study corridor, the pale blue and vermilion painted columns pierced his eyes, he paused lightly, only hesitated, and completely lost Qi Yunshu's figure.
He wondered if he should catch up, and what to say when he caught up.
Before he could move his toes, he was grabbed by the arm of the fair woman: "Master, don't chase!" You have to go to Qingshuang Pavilion in a while, and things over there in Chuzhou can't wait any longer! β
Zhao Jing suppressed the messy mood and nodded, Zhao Yu was right, he had more things to do tonight: "Maybe she doesn't want to see me much now!" β
Zhao Yu said very insincerely: "Just calm down!" β
Qi Yunshu ran all the way, and didn't realize that she was back until she saw the familiar decoration and layout of the room.
The tears in her eyes were drawn down, but they were blown down by the wind in the middle of the road, and smashed on the back of her hand, which was still hot when it first fell, but it was terrifyingly cold when it reached the back of her hand.
Just like the cold face that flashed under the study lamp just now.
She always felt that she couldn't understand Zhao Jing before, she only knew that what he usually showed was the mask he was wearing, but she never knew what the real him was like.
But now she thinks she understands that the man with cold eyes is the real him.
It's also that she is too naΓ―ve to take this relationship that shouldn't belong to her seriously.
Qi Yunshu's heart was cold like never before, and she installed the door bolt. threw away his coat, nestled on the bed, wrapped the brocade quilt tightly, closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
Her explanation doesn't care to others, he has someone who can check it himself.
Others don't want to accept her efforts, there are many confidants around him, his face is the source of trouble, and he will be the focus wherever he goes!
The tears have not dried, and people have fallen asleep.
In the dream, there is Brother Liang Tian, he softly calls her nickname, gently holds her hand, and walks on the avenue full of cherry blossoms, his eyebrows are full of affection.
Qi Yunshu's heart warmed, smiled, and couldn't help but call him, "Brother Liang Tian!" β
Zhao Jing outside the window couldn't help but smile when he saw the smile on the corner of her lips through the half-open window, but the four words that followed immediately hit him like a heavy hammer, and his heart and lungs almost suffocated in an instant.
This name has been with them since they met, and has never left the scene.
I didn't expect it to appear after so long!
He stroked the wry smile on the corner of his mouth, so why did he just work so hard to deal with affairs and hurry back? He can't get into the room, and he has to hear the name that makes him angry again and again!
It was night, so long, so long that someone wanted to fall into a dream and never wake up.
So long that someone stood outside the window all night, and in the early morning, his hair and shoulders were sprinkled with the dew that had condensed in the night.
In the next few days, Qi Yunshu seemed very calm, there was nothing she wanted to say or do, but she tried her best to keep herself busy.
I went out at dawn every day, and I came back when it was dark, completely avoiding meeting Zhao Jing, even if I was deliberately met by Zhao Jing in the yard, she would avoid it by pretending to be invisible.
In the face of Qi Yunshu like this, Zhao Jing was helpless or helpless.
But fortunately, Qi Yunshu just went out to see the shop and do business, and never went to the Second Prince's Mansion again, which made him a little relieved.
He thought that Zhao Yu might not be right, she said that the lady needs to calm down, but so many days have passed, should she be calm?
