Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "It is indeed her style." ”

Su Yunwei didn't answer, just retreated.

As the day got late, Yuanqi came out of the pavilion chief's mansion and went straight to the pastry shop.

When he entered, he happened to meet everyone eating dinner.

"Lord Yuan is here, have you had dinner?"

Yuan Qi looked around, didn't see the person he met, and said with a smile: "Not yet, what about Wan Wan?" ”

"She hasn't woken up yet, I'll leave her some food later and let Qiaoqiao deliver it." Cheng Hua'er arranged the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Master Yuan, let's also come and eat together." ”

Yuan Qi smiled and nodded, and ate dinner with everyone.

It wasn't until he was about to go back that Cheng Qingwan went downstairs slowly.

"Why are you here?"

"Today at the Pavilion Chief's Mansion, I tasted your pastry, so I specially said it, it was delicious."

Cheng Qingwan was slightly stunned, and chuckled: "Just to say this?" ”

Yuan Qi shook his head, took out a hairpin from his cuff, and handed it to her: "When I came here just now, I saw it on the side of the stall, and I thought it was suitable for you, so I bought it." ”

Cheng Qingwan took the peony hairpin and looked at it carefully: "It's very good-looking, but I won't pull my hair." ”

"But I still want to give it to you."

When Song Qiaoqiao on the side heard this, she immediately felt excited, and hurriedly pulled Lian Zhi next to her and left: "Hurry up, go quickly, don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people." ”

"My lord, let's go, otherwise it's late at night, and wolves will be easy to encounter on the road." Ah Zhu stood at the door and coughed lightly.

"You still have to go back to Songjia Village, so let's go quickly." Cheng Qingwan sent people to the door, and then said: "I will also go back tomorrow and collect those snow mountain stilbene." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."

Cheng Qingwan smiled and nodded, watching the carriage go away, and then turned around and returned to the house.

"Girl, stay here, are you here?"

Before Cheng Qingwan went upstairs, she heard a voice at the door.

When I turned my head, I found two men standing outside the house.

He was thirty or forty years old, with dark green clothes, a crown, and a thin face.

He was followed by acquaintances.

"You...... Isn't it the owner of this shop? Cheng Qingwan looked at the man behind her and asked suspiciously, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”

The man was expressionless, and said sharply: "This property belongs to my master, and I just signed it on behalf of my master that day." ”

"Oh...... So what's the matter with you? ”

"We have something to do, we want to find your aunt."

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she was even more puzzled, and when she turned her head, she just met the eyes of the man in dark green clothes.

Those eyes were too deep, with wonder and heartache.

Her instincts told him that the two men weren't good.

"I'm sorry, my aunt is not in good health, and she has fallen asleep now."

The man's eagle eyes stared straight at her: "There is the best doctor in my carriage, as long as you let her come out to meet me, I will let him see your aunt." ”

Cheng Qingwan frowned, two big men came to the door late at night, it was absolutely impossible to see each other so simply.

She was about to refuse, when she heard a voice behind Shin.

"Wanwan, who's coming?"

Cheng Hua'er walked this way, and when she saw the person standing at the door, she suddenly froze in place.

"Daughter-in-law......" As soon as the man saw the woman, he immediately murmured: "It's really you!" ”

Cheng Qingwan looked at this scene and was a little puzzled, these two people know each other?

Cheng Hua'er came back to her senses and smiled on her face: "When Lord Yuan told me that you were in Huaxian, I guessed that there would be such a day, come in and have a cup of tea." ”

The person in front of him is not the Jinghou mentioned on Yuanqi's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Cheng Qingwan watched the person walk in with a bewildered face and sat in front of A-Niang: "A-Niang, is he?" ”

"It's you...... Uncle Jing. Cheng Hua'er said with a smile while making tea: "Sister Liu, you take them upstairs to sleep." ”

Aunt Liu on the side answered, and took everyone upstairs.

The attendants brought by Jinghou also walked out and closed the door.

"That year, I searched the entire Cheng Mansion but didn't find you, and then they said that the unrecognizable female corpse in the lake was you, and the clothes and tokens were all right, but I always felt that it was not like it. Fortunately, I came to Huaxian, and fortunately you rented my shop. ”

Cheng Hua'er lowered her eyes and blocked her reddened eyes: "It's my daughter who has fallen in love with this shop." ”

When Jinghou heard this, his face turned pale, and he asked in frustration, "That's your daughter?" How old is she? ”

Cheng Hua'er nodded: "It's time to pass after your birthday." ”

"She was born when you left the capital?"

The woman's hand pouring the tea paused, and she answered softly.

"What about your husband?"

"He divorced me." Cheng Hua'er said lightly: "I heard that you haven't married a wife yet, why?" ”

"My marriage contract with you hasn't been canceled yet, how can I marry someone else?" Jinghou took a sip of tea and chuckled: "Anyway, I have thought about it, and in a few years, I will have a child from my second brother." ”

Cheng Hua'er clenched her fists and said with red eyes: "I used to just think about living, and now I think the same way, it's good to be able to live a good life with Wanwan." ”

Jinghou didn't seem to understand her words, and looked at her suspiciously: "If I marry you, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter." ”

He doesn't care about her past, after all, it's been more than ten years, and the worst result is nothing more than the loss of people. But now, she is still alive, and he doesn't care if she has married someone and has a daughter.

"You are still young, marry a woman from a good family and have an heir." The woman took off the half of the jade pendant that had been hanging on her chest and put it in front of him: "This is the jade pendant that we married back then, I will return it to you, and you will treat me as a death." ”

Jing Hou looked at the jade pendant in front of him, and his face turned pale.

"It's not early, Jinghou please go back first, I'm the daughter of a criminal minister, and it's not appropriate to meet again in the future."

When the woman had finished speaking, she got up and went upstairs.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Cheng Qingwan eavesdropping at the staircase.

"Ah Niang ......"

Cheng Hua'er walked over as if she didn't see her, and walked over in despair: "When he leaves, you can go down and lock the door." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded and agreed, sitting at the top of the stairs and looking at the people below.

Who knows, this man is like a stone, and he doesn't move for a long time.

Cheng Qingwan was already so sleepy that she yawned again and again, so she got up and went downstairs, intending to talk to this uncle.

"Uncle Jing, it's time for you to go back to sleep."

Jinghou raised his eyes, looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked softly, "How have you been doing in the past few years?" ”

"If you want to ask my aunt, just ask directly."

"You're doing well, isn't your aunt doing too?"

Cheng Qingwan thought for a while, this is the reason, so she sat down, propped her chin and said, "I, I have no father since I was born." Ah Niang took me all the way from the capital to Hua County, and then found me a stepfather in Songjia Village two years ago. Last year he hooked up with a widow and divorced my mother. ”

"You ...... It's been so hard. Jinghou held half of the jade pendant and reddened his eyes: "Your aunt was just in time for the year, and she was born in the cold winter of Layue." ”

Cheng Qingwan thought about it carefully when she heard this, the original owner's birthday was in April: "Although this atmosphere is very affectionate, I have to interrupt, I was not born in the cold winter of Layue, but in April." ”

"April?" Jinghou's face changed, and he nodded as he looked at the person in front of him, falling into deep thought.

At the end of April, Cheng's mansion was copied, and Cheng Hua'er left the capital, how did she give birth to this child, could she be pregnant in the capital?

It's impossible, I just saw her the day before I took the house, and it didn't look like she was pregnant at all.

Since she didn't give birth to it, where did this child come from, and did he pick it up along the way?

Jing Hou affirmed this idea and immediately laughed.

Cheng Qingwan was taken aback, and couldn't help but wonder if this uncle was crazy.

"Child, you return this jade pendant to your mother." Jinghou handed the jade pendant to the person in front of him, and said with a smile: "Tell you A-Niang, I don't agree to withdraw from the marriage, and I don't care that she is the daughter of a criminal minister." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Qingwan was confused, she didn't expect that the woman had talked to this extent, and this person didn't plan to withdraw from the marriage.

She watched him walk out the door and went back to sleep with a stomach full of questions.

The next day, Cheng Qingwan returned the jade pendant to Cheng Hua'er and repeated all the words from yesterday.

"Ouch, listening to this, your aunt's tears last night were not in vain." Aunt Liu stood aside and said, "But I've been crying for most of the night." ”

"Wanwan, don't listen to her nonsense, aren't you going to meet Qiaoqiao in Songjia Village today? Go for it. ”

Cheng Qingwan looked at her swollen eyes, nodded, looked at her and said, "Auntie, I think Uncle Jing will definitely come today." So, you should put those two eggs on your eyes. ”

After saying that, he turned and ran.

Cheng Hua'er looked at her figure and smiled helplessly.

When Cheng Qingwan took Song Qiaoqiao back to Songjia Village, Yuanqi was already waiting at the door of his house.

She got out of the carriage and pulled his sleeve and said, "Last night, a person surnamed Jing came. ”

"Oh, what happened?"

"There are a lot of things, did you already know the identity of my aunt, why didn't you tell me?"

"I hinted at you, but you didn't notice."

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she frowned and thought carefully: "When, why don't I remember?" ”

"Do you remember what I said when I returned the dowry that Song Da sold to you?"

Yuan Qi looked into her eyes and asked seriously.

[Do you know what words are written on the jade pendant]

[沅沚, a name with excellent meaning]

[I think the wife of the previous Cheng Shangshu also used these two words, Xie Yuanlan. 】

Cheng Qingwan immediately remembered, she pulled the corners of her mouth: "You call this a prompt?" ”

"You only need to look back at your aunt's flustered expression at that time, and you will definitely be able to detect it."
