Dark Arrow Chapter 75: Troubles (2)
"Qing'er, thank you for cooking for me, it's delicious!"
Dongfang Zhen said with a smile as soon as he saw Shangguan Qing coming in, and suddenly saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and she was curious and concerned: "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
"You!" Shangguan Qing glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "Say! Why do you want to leave!"
Dongfang Zhen thought that she had learned her thoughts from Mrs. Shangguan, and she was a little timid, but she pretended not to understand what she meant, and forced a smile: "Go, who's leaving? You know, you can't move......
"Don't pretend to be confused with this girl, a guy with no conscience, and say, "Why do you have to leave when you're hurt?"
Dongfang Zhen said: "Your mother...... Told you everything?"
Shangguan Qing puffed out his cheeks angrily and did not answer.
Dongfang Zhen smiled bitterly and explained: "This is not my home, of course I have to leave......"
"Hmph. You'd love to go early so you can see your girl!"
This time it was Dongfang Zhen's turn to be silent. He looked at her pretty face with a little weakness, and felt that her angry appearance was even more beautiful, and suddenly he felt like her very much. But as soon as this thought arose, she immediately forcibly denied it: never! She is Shangguan Xiong's daughter......
"Hmph, I'm speechless!" Shangguan Qing said as her eyes turned red again, "Your feet are on you, if you want to leave, I won't stop you...... Don't worry, I won't be bored and stop your good marriage!"
"I ......" Dongfang Zhen was both guilty and moved, and he was speechless for a while.
Shangguan Qing stood up, turned around and wiped her tears, and strode out.
After half an hour, Shangguan Qing brought a bowl of steaming medicinal juice, and said warmly: "This is a medicine that nourishes qi and replenishes blood, drink it while it's hot!"
Dongfang Zhen glanced at her expression, but saw that she was not happy or angry, as if she had forgotten what had just happened, so he hurriedly snatched the soup spoon in her hand, "Qing'er, I'll come by myself!"
"Take it away!" Shangguan Qing glared at him, "Open your mouth!"
Dongfang Zhen didn't dare to disobey, he honestly drank all the bowls of medicine, and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
Shangguan Qing didn't answer, turned around with the medicine bowl and left. Dongfang Zhen looked at her back, and suddenly had an urge not to vomit unpleasantly, so he shouted: "Qing'er!"
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Qing turned around expressionlessly.
"Qing'er,...... Your kindness to me, I ...... I understand!" Dongfang Zhen stammered a little, "It's just, I'm ...... I promised Miss Sang...... to marry her. ”
Shangguan Qing's hand holding the medicine bowl trembled, her face turned pale, and she smiled forcefully: "Really?...... I really expected it......" At this point, I couldn't control my sadness anymore, and the tears in my eyes slipped like a string of pearls.
"Qing'er, you're a good girl, I'...... I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!" Dongfang Zhen's emotions were also very excited: "But I ...... But I don't know how to repay you...... I haven't thought of how to repay you......"
"Who is rare about your repayment!" Shangguan Qing wiped her tears fiercely and sneered: "Dongfang Zhen, don't look down on people!
"I ......" Dongfang Zhen's eyes turned a little red, and he snorted: "Qing'er, I'...... I, Dongfang Zhen, am just a reckless man, you are a golden lady with jade leaves, I ...... I'm not worthy of you!"
"What do you have to be proud of! What do you have to be proud of!" Shangguan Qing had a yellow face, pointed at his nose and almost roared: "Who is rare about you again?!Phew! Self-inflicted affection! Tell you, there are many people who like this girl...... After speaking, he turned around and covered his face and ran out.
Dongfang sat motionless in despair, like a stone statue.
He didn't want to make it clear so early, he wanted to wait until he had healed his injuries before telling her, and he understood that it was a very selfish practice, and his purpose was only to heal his injuries smoothly. Because, if Shangguan Xiong told her before he helped him heal his injuries, under the sadness and resentment, she would have thousands of reasons not to ask his father, and she could only end up with a lifelong cripple.
However, just now he couldn't help but find out. Because, he found that he also liked her, but he knew that it was impossible to have results with her, so he couldn't bear to deceive her.
Of course, in his mind, the most important thing is Sang Qinghong, he has already decided that she will not marry in this life, so he has to reject Shangguan Qing cleanly.
He didn't regret what he had just done. He felt that after saying it clearly, he had no sense of guilt for Shangguan Qing, and his whole body was much more relaxed. As for whether he will end up crippled for life, leave it to fate!

Shangguan Qing no longer remembered how she ran back. As she stumbled back down the hall, Madame Shangguan was arranging for vanilla to wipe the furniture. Shangguan Qing threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly.
"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Shangguan hugged her daughter and stroked her hair, "Don't cry, tell your mother!"
Shangguan Qing's shoulders trembled, and she cried even more sadly.
"Did that kid Dongfang Zhen bully you?" Mrs. Shangguan suddenly understood, pulled her daughter out of her arms, and looked into her eyes.
"Yes. Shangguan Qing's voice was slurred and crying, crying like a tearful person.
"Tell my mother, how did he bully you?" Mrs. Shangguan covered her face with frost.
He ...... He ......" Shangguan Qing's mouth flattened, and he couldn't cry again, and after a while, he sobbed and said, "He...... He...... Humiliate me!"
"Hmph, you dare to humiliate my daughter! I'm impatient! The old lady is going to break his bones!" Mrs. Shangguan said angrily.
"Don't ...... Don't hit him!"
"Oh?" Madame Shangguan was confused, "then...... How did he humiliate you?"
He said...... He's going to marry...... Other girls, unexpectedly...... Reject me to my face...... It's not ...... Humiliation?"
As soon as she heard the word "refuse," Mrs. Shangguan relieved herself, and when she saw her daughter crying like a little girl, she couldn't help laughing, "Mother thought it was a big deal......! If you refuse, you can refuse, my mother still doesn't look down on him!"
He ...... He also said...... I'm a big lady and he's a ...... The rivers and lakes are reckless, and it is said that it is ...... Not worthy of me. But I know...... What he meant: ...... He couldn't get used to it...... I'm a pampered lady, I mean ...... Not worthy of him. ”
"Not worthy of him? nonsense!" Mrs. Shangguan sneered, "In the whole world, there are only people who are not worthy of my daughter, and there is no one who is not worthy of my daughter...... Hmph, even if he is self-aware, he still knows that he is just a reckless man, and he can't climb high!"
"But...... Mother, is money and status really that important? The daughter doesn't care about his conditions. Shangguan Qing gradually stopped crying.
"Of course it's important! If you don't have money, where will you get to eat? Where will you get what you can wear? Where will you use it? If you have no status, you can only make cattle and horses for others, where can you have dignity?" Mrs. Shangguan made a bitter analysis, and comforted her daughter: "Qing'er, don't be sad; in the future, my mother will find you a man who is a thousand or ten thousand times better than him!"
"But, my daughter only likes him!" Shangguan Qing began to cry again, "Since I first saw him, I have liked him...... I...... I just can't give it up......"
"A half-dead man! What is there to be attached to!" Mrs. Shangguan said sharply: "You are the daughter of my Shangguan family, show some backbone!"
Shangguan Qing gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Okay! My daughter will never marry in this life!"
Mrs. Shangguan didn't expect this persuasion, but she persuaded such a result, and her heart became anxious, "Qing'er, why are you so extreme? There are many good men in the world, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?!...... Let's say your cousin, who is not only a son of the world, but also a talent, and the most commendable thing is that people are still infatuated with you. But you ...... Why do you always refuse?"
"Phew, that kind of flowery carrot, my daughter wants to vomit when she looks at it!"
"Alas, that's because you have a prejudice against him. Mrs. Shangguan sighed, but she still continued to influence her earnestly, "Qing'er, when you are older, you will understand: as a woman, it is the greatest blessing in life to be able to marry a rich and powerful man! There is a saying that 'poor and lowly couples mourn everything', and those poor and lowly couples worry about trivial matters such as oil smoke and firewood and rice all day long, and complain and quarrel whenever something goes wrong, so how can ?......they have any time to talk about their feelings?
"Say a thousand, say 10,000, and my daughter will never marry her cousin!" Shangguan Qing played with the darkness and said angrily: "In short, I won't marry anyone!"
Mrs. Shangguan had a feeling of annoyance and anger, and she couldn't control the anger in her heart anymore, so she gave her a slap in the face.
Shangguan Qing stroked the beaten left cheek and flattened her mouth, pushed her mother away, hid her face and ran to the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and was miserable and miserable alone.
Fangcao, who was cleaning in the aisle, heard Miss crying sadly, pushed the door in to comfort her, but was immediately blasted out by the word "roll", so she had to shake her head helplessly and continue to do her part.
"Hey, wronged! wronged!" Mrs. Shangguan shook her head and sighed bitterly, sat back on the tea stool weakly, gently clasped the tea table with her fingers, and muttered: "If you think about it, you can't blame Qing'er for being paranoid;
