Chapter 370: A Bad Relationship
"Brother Fang Bei, it's not good for me this time, greedy for vanity makes my brother angry!" Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Ye Qingyan's thoughtful expression, and quickly pulled Ye Qingyan's arm and said begging for mercy.
Ye Qingyan didn't expect Zhao Yuanyuan to say such a thing, he was slightly stunned and then turned around and said, "Hehe, I was just thinking about how to repair the spirit weapon, and I didn't hear what you said, but it's okay, these are just hours!"
Hearing Ye Qingyan's words, the sadness on Zhao Yuanyuan's face suddenly disappeared, and she immediately showed a smile again. Ye Qingyan smiled and didn't pay attention to her anymore, but returned his perception to the old woman's stall just now. Sure enough, that stall disappeared under Ye Qingyan's eyelids in less than a stick of incense.
"It seems that there is something wrong with that old woman!" Although Ye Qingyan didn't have much reaction in his heart, the expression on his face really betrayed him. It's just that at this time, Zhao Yuanyuan was obviously attracted by the goods sold by some of the surrounding vendors, and she didn't pay much attention to Ye Qingyan's expression.
"Where are they?" Although Zhao Yuanyuan was still having a good time, since the old woman disappeared, Ye Qingyan's vigilance had increased a lot, but no matter how long it took since then, there was nothing that made him pay attention.
After walking around the market for more than two hours, the two returned to the Zhao Mansion with large bags and small bags. Although Ye Qingyan did not gain anything from this trip, the relationship between Ye Qingyan and Zhao Yuanyuan did improve a lot, and Zhao Yuanwai gradually had a smile on his face.
Ye Qingyan could see that although the person before had given their family a lot of benefits, as Zhao Yuanwai, who only had an only daughter. Naturally, I don't want to see my daughter die alone. If there is really someone who can make her daughter change her mind at this moment. He is really willing to match the two and let them grow old together. Instead of being muddled like he is now, like a dead man.
"Dad, Brother Fang Bei walked around with me today and bought a lot of things, these are all gifts I bought for you!" Seeing Zhao Yuanwai, Zhao Yuanyuan was surprisingly elated, so she came to Zhao Yuanwai's side with large and small gift boxes, and after opening these gift boxes, they were all exquisite gifts. They were all selected by Zhao Yuanyuan for Zhao Yuanwai.
Seeing his daughter showing such a happy smile for the first time in ten years, Zhao Yuanwai's face was also a little more joyful, so he looked at Ye Qingyan's gaze more and more gentle. However, he knew that Ye Qingyan was probably a disciple of a certain family, and it was difficult to look down on his own daughter with such an identity, of course, it was much better to be able to be a concubine for Ye Qingyan on their terms than not marrying here for the rest of his life.
So thinking about it like this, Zhao Yuanwai's worries were reduced a few points. If he can really promote this matter, once this person makes a fortune in the future, I am afraid that his Zhao family will become even more prosperous, "Hehe, Yuanyuan." I didn't expect you to buy so many gifts for my father, I really don't know what to say. These are the merits of Fang Bei's seniors, why don't I ask my subordinates to make some food for dinner, and we will have a good meal at night!"
Seeing the happy smile on Zhao Yuanyuan's face, Zhao Yuanwai looked at Ye Qingyan standing behind the little girl, and it became more and more pleasing to the eyes.
"Daddy......" Although Zhao Yuanyuan has little contact with outsiders, she knows very little about men and women, but how can she not know about her father's thoughts, and now that Zhao Yuanwai said this, Zhao Yuanyuan's face suddenly showed a girl's shyness.
"Okay, Senior Fang Bei has been standing there for a while, you can go and be chatted with Senior Fang Bei!" Seeing that his daughter also had a good impression of Ye Qingyan, Zhao Yuan was also extremely relieved in his heart, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to let the people go to the market to buy some good ingredients for dinner.
How could Ye Qingyan not know what Zhao Yuanwai thought. Originally, he wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought that since Xiao Tianliang had feelings for this Zhao Yuanyuan, since he couldn't attract him, why couldn't he make Zhao Yuanyuan like him. At that time, Xiao Tianliang naturally couldn't bear it, and it was naturally the time to kill himself. It was also an opportunity for him.
Fortunately, Xiao Tianliang didn't have too many strong retinues around him, otherwise, the three half-step emperors would definitely not be able to deal with it by himself.
Zhao Yuanyuan was pushed over by Zhao Yuanwai, so she took Ye Qingyan to Zhao Yuanwai's study to play chess. However, after Zhao Yuanwai gave orders, he sat alone in the living room and didn't know what to think.
At this time, the old housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion slowly walked in from outside.
"Zhao Sheng, what are you looking for me?" Seeing the old housekeeper walking outside and walking in, Zhao Yuanwai was slightly stunned and asked a little strangely.
This Zhao Sheng is an old private school gentleman he inadvertently saved a few years ago, although he has no skills, but he is in charge of the accounts, and it is no problem to run errands. Normally, this Zhao Sheng hides in his hut to read books and drink tea, and rarely takes the initiative to deal with outsiders, unless he asks him, he rarely comes to him to catch up, but this enrollment seems a little strange.
"Zhao Xi, it seems that I should call you that!" Zhao Sheng pursed his lips and said something that Zhao Xi never dreamed of, Zhao Sheng dared to call him by his name, is this Zhao Sheng crazy?
"You, you ......" Although he wanted to stabilize his emotions, Zhao Xi still couldn't control his emotions and said with some trembling.
"Hehe, Zhao Xi, I'm no longer your poor butler, as for who I am, don't you know?" As he spoke, Zhao Sheng released some of his breath. Although these breaths were very weak, they were enough to make Zhao Xi feel something. Zhao Xi felt it slightly, as if his memory was also going back to many years ago.
That was the first time he had met this man. Although it is just a glance, one can feel that there is a calm sea hidden in his slightly calm eyes, and the tide in the sea rises and falls, which makes people feel intoxicated. So in addition to the current Zhao Yuan, Zhao Sheng, an honest farmer at the beginning, brought the man back to his small courtyard, and the man saw his daughter in the small courtyard, and a bad relationship was born.
"Ten years, ten years ......" Zhao Xi kept sighing, as if the door of his memory had been completely opened by the person in front of him, and many people's memories were like ebb and flow in his heart.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to remember these things so clearly, don't you want to ask me why I came back again?" The man's tone changed slightly, and then he was sharp, although there was no murderous aura in his words, it still made Zhao Xi feel trembling all over, as if it was not a person in front of him, but a fierce demon beast.
"Don't ask, it's been ten years, I don't want to know why you came back, I just want you to leave quickly......" Although Zhao Xi's heart was extremely weak when these words were said, he still couldn't bear to say this, even if what he greeted in the end was death.
"Hahaha, your old man's temper is still the same stubborn as before, but you have never been able to change your fate, even if I have been secretly helping you in the past few years!" The man's eyes changed, as if he was pointing Zhao Xi to something, this kind of flickering words made Zhang Xi suddenly startled, and the already old appearance on his face suddenly had a few deep wrinkles.
"Hey, bad fate, I didn't expect that I was just unintentional at the time, and there was such a bad fate!" Although it has only been ten years, Zhao Yuanwai at this moment is no longer the honest peasant he was back then, not to mention that he, a peasant, has also tried to participate in the imperial examination, and wants to get an official and a half position in some cities, so that he can enjoy the glory of a voice, but unfortunately he is still famous every year, and in the end he can only go home to farm, but in comparison, he is a talent in the imperial examination, but he still has a little bit of his own land, and he does not have to be a servant of his family.
"Hmph, old man, don't think that you were kind to me at the beginning, I didn't dare to touch you, besides, I have been not thin on you in the past ten years, but it's a pity that you are still stubborn, so you will have today's end, so today I am here to take back the marriage I once planted, and take back the original I gave you, and the boy surnamed Fang will also die in your Zhao Mansion because of your involvement, and even this town will cease to exist in the Zhenchong Empire from now on!" As he spoke, the man actually took a step and walked slowly towards Zhao Xi, as if a big hand had shot into his heart, sucking his flesh and soul into his body.
At this time, Zhao Xi suddenly sighed with emotion and couldn't help but say before he died: "Zhao Sheng, I don't know why you came to my Zhao family, I have treated you well in the past few years, I hope that after my death, you can still take care of my daughter, if possible, please also take care of my Zhao family, and don't forget my kindness to you in the past few years!"
As soon as he spoke, Zhao Xi's eyes closed, and he was sucked into his body by Zhao Sheng with his soul and body, and soon Zhao Xi's body turned into a pile of dust and disappeared into the entire living room, as if only Zhao Sheng was going back and forth in the living room, and there was no one else......
At this moment, Ye Qingyan was playing chess with Zhao Yuanyuan, and he suddenly felt that there was a trace of death breath slowly floating in the air, this death breath was fleeting, leaving no clues, and Zhao Yuanyuan's brows seemed to be wrinkled, and he also sensed that something was wrong. It's just that these things come and disappear faster, and Ye Qingyan can't catch any traces.
Only in Ye Qingyan's eyes, the love thread in Zhao Yuanyuan's body has grown longer and longer, and finally it has grown to the extreme, and it will no longer change. At this moment, Ye Qingyan finally came to his senses, and he knew that it should be that person who came...... (To be continued......)
