Chapter 12: Change
The night was deep, everything was silent, and the sporadic points of light outside were also staggering out.
Qiong Hua and Yan Yan snuggled up to the bed like this, their eyes closed, but neither of them fell asleep.
"Don't you think, it's a little hot......" Qionghua's hand touched Yan Yan's arm, and subconsciously shrank back.
"Indeed, it's probably a little crowded." As he spoke, Yan Yan tried to reverse his body, "Will it be better now?" β
Qionghua didn't answer, just watched the candle fire burning at the bedside.
"I heard that on the wedding night, red candles will be lit, and if they are burned out, they can grow old together."
Qionghua's hand was suddenly grabbed by Yan Yan, his eyes were full of bright starlight, like a jumping flame, and he looked at Qionghua like this, "I will definitely beg my father, and if I come to the door to propose marriage again, the owner of Qiong Zhuang will definitely admit me, if it doesn't work once, twice!" β
His lips were blocked by Qionghua's slender fingers, Qionghua just smiled, and then slowly rubbed into his arms, "It's not that urgent, I still need to think about ......"
"Why even think about it!" Yan Yan turned over and sat up, looking anxious, "Didn't I drink a whole pot of tea just now!" If that's not enough, I'll go get another pot! β
"Silly melon, you be quiet." Qionghua hurriedly pulled him to lie down, hid in the quilt, and whispered, "I'm still looking forward to you writing me more letters, didn't you send a new box, if you become a relative so soon, you won't write to me." β
"Write! Definitely write! Just Madame Say! As much as you want! Yan Yan felt the hot breath exhaled by Qionghua, and his face couldn't help but flush, "Even if I write a hundred more boxes, I will write until we all become white-haired old men and old ladies." β
"You are really," Qionghua wanted to knock him on the head again, but then turned to put down her hand and rubbed his hair, "I scolded you too many times today, I can't scold anymore, otherwise I will really become a fool, what can I do." β
"Hee-hee-hee, Mrs. is empathetic~"
"Don't rub your nose in your face! You! β
"It's okay to beat me and scold me, it's okay if I'm a stupid fool, don't be angry, madam, I feel distressed when I'm angry."
"Flim Flam ......"
When she woke up, there was no Yan Yan in the room, Qionghua rubbed her eyes, she was a little late last night, and she was still a little sleepy.
The chair against the door was gone, this guy was really bold, it seemed that he had gone out of the main entrance before dawn, and he was not afraid of being discovered.
Qionghua thought so in her heart, and then turned to the table where she had tea last night. The cup used by Yan Yan yesterday was still there, and under the cup, there was a piece of paper. Qionghua opened it with interest and took a look.
[Madame.]
This goes to the mountains and rivers, and Mrs. Wanwang is healthy, and her heart is still there for thousands of miles, don't think about it.
I only hope that my wife's heart is like my heart, and I will live up to my wife's lovesickness.

This stupid melon...... I don't know why the tears flowed out like this, but I didn't feel sad, but I felt that the blank place in my heart was filled by something.
"What a mountain is high and long, but today and tomorrow, I won't miss you, a stupid melon......" Qionghua was obviously happy, feeling that the feeling she had never had before was about to overflow, she didn't wipe her tears, carefully folded the paper, and put it in a new box.
"This is barely the first letter in the new box."
In the courtyard, Qiong Sanniang left a sentence, "Don't you think about it", and then threw up her sleeves and left, leaving Yan Yan, who was full of tears, lowered his head and whimpered, like a wounded little beast, sobbing constantly.
"It's funny that I look like this." He still choked and didn't look at Yin Xian and his party, "It's useless for you to stay here, she Qiong Sanniang has always been like this." β
"You say it's always been like this?" Yin Xian took out the handkerchief from her arms, dipped it in some water, and wiped the tears on Yan Yan's face for her, Yan Yan hurriedly dodged away, looking disgusted, helpless, Yin Xian had to put away the handkerchief, took a few steps back, and widened the distance between him and herself.
"She did that to you before?"
Duan Huanian was angry, "Don't talk nonsense with him, it's cold outside." β
"She doesn't care what she does to me," a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yan Yan's eyes, "You should ask how she did to Qionghua." β
"If you let me go, I will thank you again in the future!" He struggled for a moment, feeling that the rope on his body seemed to be looser than yesterday, but he endured it and kept silent.
"We just want to come and ask for wine, these private matters have nothing to do with us." Duan Huanian blocked Yin Xian, his expression was cold and contemptuous like never before, which made people feel even more chilled under this cold weather.
Yan Yan chuckled, "Then take me to put some water." β
"What water?" Yin Xian came over, had some questions, and was busy being stuffed behind Duan Huanian.
Duan Huanian greeted the people in the courtyard, "Tell them yourself, we are not the masters here." β
"Thank you." Leaving this sentence, Yan Yan exchanged an honest face and dragged himself to the outside of the hospital.
Duan Huanian always felt that something was wrong, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he gave Wu Shi a look behind him. Wu Shi has been with Duan Hua for many years, and he knows exactly what Duan Dashuai thinks in his heart, so he touched the knife and gun on his waist and quietly followed.
Yin Xian was a little embarrassed when she saw Wu Shi walking away, "It turns out that this is what the water release......" and then pulled Duan Huanian's sleeve, "You let Wu Shi follow, are you afraid that Yan Yan will run away?" Didn't you say it didn't matter? β
Duan Huanian faced Yin Xian and showed a doting attitude, "I don't want to interfere more, but if he runs away, it will not be safe for Qionghuazhuang, you and me." β
"That's what you really think?" Yin Xian blinked, and her eyes were full of smiles. "But you haven't laughed for the past few days, and sure enough, it's because I'm willful that I've provoked you."
"You know that you are willful," Duan Huanian said and pressed Yin Xian's forehead with his thumb, "Even if you get Qionghua wine like this, the person who drinks it will not be happy." β
Yin Xian rubbed her head, "It's not my style to give up halfway and fall short." β
"You......"
Duan Huanian wanted to continue, but a servant's exclamation came from outside the courtyard, "Someone! Run! The gangsters ran away! β
Duan Huanian hurriedly picked up Yin Xian and walked towards Qiong Sanniang's house. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the village, and the subordinates all picked up the brooms and wooden sticks, and dared to go outside to search for Yan Yan's whereabouts.
"Being able to slip away under Wu Shi's eyelids, it seems that Wu Shi has regressed, and it's time to retire."
Yin Xian blushed and knocked on Duan Huanian's chest, "You might as well praise Yan Yan for his good skills, let me go quickly, I can go!" β
Duan Huanian didn't answer, but his face was clearly written: No, no, no.
Yin Xian had no choice but to give up, then reacted and hurriedly asked, "Why did you go to Qiong Sanniang's house?" They're still in there! β
Duan Huanian didn't listen to persuasion, and knocked on the door hard, "If you want to live, open the door for me!" β
Sanniang didn't ink, and within a few seconds, her mother-in-law opened the door with a frightened face.
"Mother-in-law, don't panic, I'll talk to the owner of Qiong Zhuang."
"Oh? What to talk about? Live? Qiong Sanniang was half-draped in a solid-colored robe, half-squinting, and her scarlet nails were propped up on her cheeks like this, "It doesn't matter if you're alive or not, whoever wants to bear fruit on me, tell him to hurry up." β
"Yan Yan ran away."
Qiong Sanniang sneered, "Heh, what am I, it's not new." β
Yin Xian saw that the atmosphere was tense, and hurriedly played the round, "Although our people followed, Yan Yan still escaped, but his goal was not achieved, he should not give up, and he will still come to you, so my husband wants to come over to ensure your safety." β
"Oh? Objective? Sanniang really didn't disdain it at all, "Is the purpose of seducing my daughter this time or deceiving my family formula?" You just let him come, and you don't have to bother. β
"We don't have the leisure time to take care of you," Duan Huanian interrupted, "I just want to make a deal with you." β
"I'm not interested in trading with you......"
"Use him Yan Yan to exchange a pot of Qionghua wine in your village, you can't change it."
"No."
"Then I'll help him, burn your Qionghuazhuang from the inside out with a fire, and when the time comes, I won't ask you if you want something." Duan Huanian said clearly word by word, not like he was joking, Qiong Sanniang was startled, and the robe on her shoulders fell off.
"Master Qiong understands people, is he willing to make this deal with Duan?"
Although Qiong Sanniang did not answer, her face was already very unsightly, and she was supported by her mother-in-law and entered the back room.
Out of Qiong Sanniang's room, Duan Huanian still didn't mean to put Yin Xian down, although Yin Xian struggled a little, he just whispered: Don't move.
"How can you be sure that Qiong Sanniang will definitely promise you?"
Duan Huanian looked at the heavy snow outside, "Do you remember that Yan Yan once said that the first thing in Qiong Sanniang's heart is this winery. β
"So," Yin Xian's tone suddenly became a little sad, she remembered that she had just knelt on the ground, begging Sanniang's Yan Yan, and her heart tightened, "So, even if it is her own daughter, is it not as important as the winery in her heart?" β
"Who knows?"
Things became more and more confusing, and why Qionghua went became the number one question haunting Yin Xian's heart. Originally, I wanted to stop caring about it, but the lonely expressions of Qiong Sanniang and Yan Yan surfaced again and again, and she couldn't get rid of it. Is there anything else hidden in this?
The mother-in-law next to Qiong Sanniang walked out of the house at this time, and when she saw Yin Xian and Duan Huanian, her expression changed, and she subconsciously wanted to stay away from them. That's right, the words that Duan Huanian said to Qiong Sanniang just now were really ruthless, although her mother-in-law said that she was kind and kind, it was normal to be frightened.
"Mother-in-law......" Yin Xian forced out a smile, "Now that it's over, why don't you tell us the ins and outs of this." Why did Miss Qiong Hua die, and how did Yan Yan and Qiong Sanniang hate her. β
The mother-in-law was about to speak, the embankment collapsed in her heart, she couldn't hold back for a while, two lines of old tears flowed from her cloudy eyes, she forcibly covered her face, looked back at Qiong Sanniang's house, and choked up.
"Please don't blame the owner. Yan Gongzi and Miss Qionghua are both innocent, they are all old slaves! Because of the old slave! β
