The maid quickly took the things, and then Qiao's mother was also surprised, isn't this bracelet in her daughter's hand, so what is in this box?

The mother and daughter glanced at each other, Qiao Yuan took a deep breath, opened the box, and there was an identical silver bracelet lying inside.

Qiao's mother was surprised, and compared the two together, it was indeed the same, even the eight characters of birth that she asked the master to engrave on the hidden side were closed.

These two bracelets are indeed a pair.

Mother Qiao wondered, "Where did you find this lost one?" "In the old stuff that coexists.

Qiao Yuan's fingertips trembled slightly, and he tried to calm down: "Mother, do you remember when you lost this bracelet?" “

Seeing that her daughter's expression was different, Qiao's mother also became solemn and tried to recall.

"When you were six years old, when our family was still in Suzhou, just after your birthday, it happened that there was an outing outside the city, you had to go, and you fell into the river once, and when you came back, the bracelet was lost."

No wonder.

No wonder Qi Cun said that he had never been to Suzhou, and the end point of the custom of going out there was a mountain dozens of miles away, which was far away from Suzhou City, but it was relatively close to the neighboring Yunzhou.

Yunzhou has always been a military powerhouse, and it recruits troops all year round.

If Qi Cun joined the army in that year, the destination is most likely Yunzhou.

Then it is not surprising to meet Suzhou tourists on the way.

So, if the teenager Qi Cun meets ...... It's also possible for her to fall into the water.

Qiao's mother looked serious: "Ah Yuan, what happened?" “

Qiao Yuan's lips were pale in color, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a thick shadow.

"Mother, do you remember Gu Chong?" When Qiao's family was still in Suzhou, Gu Chong had always been a little guest of Qiao's mansion, and he was Qiao Yuan's childhood sweetheart, and Qiao's mansion also helped Gu Mansion a lot because of him, and even when Qiao Yuan reunited later, he was defenseless at first.

-

-It's all because Gu Zhong rescued Xiao Qiao Yuan who fell into the water.

"What if it was the one who saved me when I fell into the water?"

Qiao's mother looked stunned.

On this day, the mood fluctuated too much, and Qiao Yuan lay on the couch at night, really couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and put on a snow-green coat, so that people don't follow and go out alone.

Qiao's mother's routine is to go to bed early at night, and the lights out time of the whole house is also early, it is already very quiet at this time, and Qiao Yuan only hears the footsteps of himself falling on the bluestone road.

Tonight's moonlight was rare bright, and the lake was sparkling, reflecting on Qiao Yuan's face, reflecting a piece of flawless snow skin.

Qiao Yuan lowered his eyes, and couldn't say what mood he was in now.

She remembered the first time she saw Qi Cun leading the army into Beijing, and the first time they met at the city gate.

I remember that when he came to Qiao's Mansion to propose, he shoved the phoenix hairpin into her trembling hand.

remembered his gloomy face when he found her in the broken temple when he mistakenly thought that she had eloped with Gu Chong......

And he was ordered to exterminate the Second Prince's Party, and when he left, he smiled and said that he would come back in three months.

It turns out that their bond was planted many years ago.

The cool breeze was blowing, Qiao Yuan lowered his head, thought a lot, and didn't seem to think about anything.

Until his arm was slightly cold, Qiao Yuan slowly came back to his senses and was about to go back to the room, but he turned around and saw a person standing on the stone steps not far away.

The man almost blended into the night, and stood there silently, looking at her for some unknown amount of time.

Qiao Yuan's eyes suddenly became a little sour.

When the man saw that he had been discovered, he walked slowly.

He has a strong posture, wearing a dark brocade robe, his momentum is calm, and his muscles outline smooth lines between movements.

Qiao Yuan's heart suddenly beat like a drum, until he was taken into a warm embrace, and his whole body was full of familiar breath.

Da Zhuang looked down at Qiao Yuan: "Madam, go back with me." “

After a while, Qiao Yuan slowly replied: "Didn't you say let's all calm down?" “

She lowered her head, unable to see clearly.

Da Zhuang's tone was obscure, "I've thought about it." “

Qiao Yuan didn't say anything.

"Whether Madame likes me or not, as long as I live for a day, I will pester Madame for a day."

His arm tightened more and more, and the force was so strong that Qiao Yuan felt a little painful, and it was rare that she didn't push it away.

Da Zhuang bowed his head and kissed his wife's hair and held her hand.

His palms were thick calluses, grinded out from the arduous marching life, and his palms were so big that they almost covered Qiao Yuan's hands.

"So, I'm going to give Madame a chance now."

Qiao Yuan felt something stuffed in his hand, and raised his hand to take a look.

It's a dagger.

The skin of her palm is delicate, and her fingers are like tender onions on the scabbard of the ancient pattern, one soft and the other sharp, revealing a strange beauty.

Da Zhuang's expression was obscure, "If Madame kills me now, she will be free in the future." “

His tone changed, and he suddenly burst out with a fierce voice, "If I don't die today, then the lady will not be able to get rid of me for the rest of her life, even if she dies, we will die together!" “

Qiao Yuan suddenly wanted to cry.

Bean-sized tears kept overflowing from the watery eyes, hanging on the eyelashes, like fine crystals, popping towers and falling down, the tails of the eyes and the tip of the nose were flushed, like a faint rouge.

"Madame, choose now." Da Zhuang gently wiped his tears for his wife, and his tone was gentle, as if he was persecuted.

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't have it again."

Da Zhuang paused for a moment, but still said slowly: "Just like these days, no, maybe it will be more excessive, I will hide my wife, I will never see outsiders again, and I will always be in my sight." “

Qiao Yuan couldn't cry, but Da Zhuang didn't coax her in a panic, but only lowered his head and kept kissing her on the cheek.

After a long while, she wiped her tears and looked up at him, "Okay." “

She let go of her hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp crash, and at the same time, she reached out and pushed forward.

Da Zhuang had never been defensive against her, and if she had been an assassin, he would have died many times.

He fell into the lake unexpectedly, the water of the lake was pouring in from all directions, he knew the water, but he did not struggle, and slowly sank.

There was another thud.

Da Zhuang, who had not moved, opened his eyes suddenly, moved his hands and feet, and quickly swam to Qiao Yuan's side, hugged her and rushed out of the water.

"Ma'am, what are you doing--"

Before the words containing anger were finished, Da Zhuang was held in the face, and Qiao Yuan was facing his forehead, his eyes were shining.

"Do you remember?"

Da Zhuang was stunned, "What?" “

In the next moment, he sank into the water with Qiao Yuan.

The surface of the lake reflected some of the light, and the lake was a little dark, but Qiao Yuan's beautiful white face seemed to glow in this haze.

Her bun was all scattered, and the thick strands of hair were scattered in the water, tangled with the man's and rippling with the water.

The lake water is cold, but the body temperature of the two people is as hot as a fire, and the two hug each other tightly like lovers in the apocalypse.

The two of them went down further and further, the pressure of suffocation came, and the whole body was agitated to transmit danger signals.

In the stress of dying, the fog in front of me faded at an unprecedented rate.
