"Haha, let's try this, crystal shrimp dumplings, recommended dishes from Zuixianlou." Xiao Crush smiled awkwardly and gave Qi Bei vegetables.

Qi Bei sighed: "Call the senior brother and sister to eat." ”

Xiao Xiao immediately refused: "This meal is specially invited for you to make you happy." The way you look now, if the Hundred Opera Troupe saw it, they would be very worried. ”

"Bang", Qi Bei slapped the table in anger, "How can there be a ruthless person like Ye Shiyu in this world!" It's a shame that Lady Bailing is so worried about his safety. If she knew, wouldn't she die of sadness? ”

Qi Bei, who was in full swing, then wilted down and covered his head: "But I deceived her." If she knew, she wouldn't hate me. ”

The small alarm had already made the people around him cast strange eyes, Xiao Xiao hurriedly comforted Qi Bei and told him to lower his voice: "Who doesn't know that Ye Shiyu of Jun'an City has a bad reputation, and it is not strange to make this kind of pretense to marry, and then abandon his wife and run out to sea by himself." ”

Xiao Xiao shrugged his shoulders and concluded: "Providence makes people." ”

Qi Bei hated: "Mrs. Bailing really married the wrong person." ”

Xiao Xiao stuffed him with a shrimp dumpling, "Whether it's Ye Shiyu, or Jia Yang, or anyone in the world, I dare to say that it's you who wins." Who else has been so good to her, how many times has he sacrificed his life to save her? Don't be angry, try it, it tastes good, right? Are you feeling better? ”

"Hmm...... Delicious. Qi Bei puffed out his cheeks and began to chew, the taste of the shrimp dumplings was really excellent, and as soon as the tip of his tongue touched the tender and juicy filling, there was no more trouble.

Xiao Shale was happy: "Yes, I'm not wrong. Come on, eat a few more. ”

"What will she do now?" Qi Bei was a little distracted, "I'm afraid I'm still sad." ”

He couldn't get up, and said sullenly, "But what should I do?" Ye Shiyu was in the secret room, but I lied to Bailing. I lied to her face! ”

"Well—sometimes, white lies are told to protect a person. You never regret protecting her, do you? ”

"Yes. No regrets. ”

"However, a person of integrity like yours will feel guilty even if he tells a white lie. Right? ”

Qi Bei smiled bitterly: "Master has always taught us to be honest, I never knew that lying could be reasonable." ”

"So, you are willing to bear a lot of grievances yourself in order to protect her."

Qi Bei nodded silently.

"Whenever you make a choice, you always have to pay a price." Xiao Xiao patiently enlightened him, "But you don't regret this choice." Because you're going to protect her. ”

"I don't regret the price I paid."

Xiao Xiao clapped his hands: "That makes sense!" Come on, come on, eat quickly, this drunken duck, as well as drunken shrimp, are all famous dishes of Zuixianlou. When you are full, you have the strength to think. We still have a lot of work to do. ”

Qi Bei listened to his persuasion, rubbed his chopsticks and cheered up, he had to eat very much, otherwise there would be so many difficulties on the next road, before he found the Golden Crow God, he couldn't just fall down or admit defeat, and Lady Bailing needed his protection.

Just as he was about to start moving his chopsticks, a group of people ran over and bowed down in front of him: "The Golden Crow God Messenger helps!" ”

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Bei hurriedly asked.

"There are hundreds of dragons in the city again!"

"yes, someone got bitten again. There are quite a few deaths! ”

"Golden Crow Divine Envoy, save us quickly."

Qi Bei and Xiao Xiao threw down the dishes and chopsticks and left quickly, and a table of steaming delicacies gradually cooled down.

--------

Xiao Cui knew that Mrs. Bailing, who had escaped from the Lingxiang Pavilion, was in a very bad mood. According to the rules set up by the lord of Jun'an City, the children of the eight lords of the Ding Protector Country always send one or two to Jun'an City to be protons. Now it's Miss Xin's turn in Fenglin City. Taishi Mansion was on the spot, there should have been Ye Shiyu's shadow, after all, the two were still husband and wife on the surface, and they wanted to raise Miss Xin together. But until then, there was only Mrs. Bailing.

The loneliness that accompanied the panic devoured Lady Bailing's heart little by little, and in the eyes of everyone full of incomprehension, she quickly got into the carriage and returned to the old mansion.

I have to continue to look for Ye Shiyu. No matter what, drag him back to Jun'an City.

Zhi'er hugged the golden gourd and saw all this.

"Sister, when I returned to Jun'an City, I plan to join the army."

Mrs. Bailing was stunned: "Why? ”

"Because joining the army is a faster way for a cold soldier to get promoted."

Lady Bailing quickly dispelled this thought: "You must not go. Nowadays, wars and chaos are raging between Jiuding countries, and everywhere is not as safe as Jun'an City. Besides, our status in Jun'an is high enough now, and our lives are rich enough, so we don't need you to fight for anything. ”

Zhi'er shook her head and told the truth: "It's because of the brocade clothes and food we shouldn't get that I want to join the army." ”

Mrs. Bailing frowned, very incomprehensible.

"I want to rely on my own skills to fight for a stable life." Zhi'er has already made up her mind, "Then the two of us don't have to cling to our brother-in-law." ”

Lady Bailing hung her head silently. Climbing. These two words are really scratching my heart. Without Ye Shiyu, what else is there to cling to? After returning to Jun'an City, will life be as peaceful and peaceful as ever?

"I never joined the army, and I will talk about it when I return to the city. Now you hurry up and find a way to find Shi Yu. Mrs. Bailing closed the door without looking back, leaned her back against the hard door, slowly squatted down, and hugged her head.

Shi Yu, Shi Yu. Where the hell have you been? If you don't show up again, how will Zhi'er and I continue to live in Jun'an City?

The fear and anger that had been buried in my heart were like skyrocketing magma, breaking through the rocks covered by the crater. In this life, he could have lived in Aling with his family, but why did he have a chaotic relationship with Jun'an City? was exterminated by Jun'an City, but found a place to rest in Jun'an, and the married imperial official was inextricably linked with his younger brother being hunted down. All this is very unbearable for Mrs. Bailing.

If the heavy snow never fell on Aling's sealed mountain, if his father and mother and the clansmen were there, if his younger brother was not born, or if he had nothing to do with the Seven Kills, if he hadn't fled to Jun'an City, if he hadn't married Ye Shiyu, where would he be now, what would he do, and who would be around him?

A series of questions is like a bubbling spring.

Yes, if fate can take a turn, in another way of living, another possibility, who will you marry?

Now to say, is this life decided?

She was resentful, and she was really unwilling.

Xiao Cui heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the house, and was very worried about Mrs. Bailing, so she opened the crack in the door and quietly looked inside: "What is Madame looking for?" ”

"Where is the bronze hand mirror that Qi Bei gave me?"
