The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 72 Five years ago

Half an hour ago, the North Catacombs.

"Yueyue, do you really want to go to Lin Jiang now?"

Qionghua couldn't help tugging at Cui Hengyue's sleeve, not letting her go.

Cui Hengyue gently brushed away Qionghua's hand: "If you are afraid, stay here, and I will go alone."

Hearing that Cui Hengyue was going to Wenshu Pavilion alone, Qionghua straightened her back immediately: "No, I will help you."

"Then let's go." After Cui Hengyue finished speaking, she went straight out of the room.

Qionghua hurried to catch up.

The two passed through the passage outside unharmed and came to the gate of the North Catacombs.

Ever since Shui Fu and Shui Rong returned to the North Hall, no one entered the guard room at the door.

Cui Hengyue hid behind the door and gestured to Qionghua.

Qionghua took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and then slammed on the door: "Come on, my little lady has fainted, come on quickly."

After a few breaths, the door was pushed open, and the guard asked calmly, "What happened?"

"I"

As soon as Qionghua opened her mouth, a black shadow sprang out from behind the door, knocking out the guard who was interrogating with her palm.

"Come"

Another guard guarding the North Catacomb saw that Cui Hengyue had knocked out his companion, so he hurriedly called for help, but unfortunately he was knocked unconscious by Cui Hengyue after he yelled a single word.

Looking at the two guards lying on the ground, Qionghua was a little surprised: "Since when did the North Catacombs only have two guards?"

She remembered that after the lady moved in, there were four guards guarding the North Catacombs.

Cui Hengyue patted the ashes on her hands, and said lightly: "I can go in and out of the North Catacombs freely, and you are the only one imprisoned, so naturally I don't need so many guards."

"But, you were fined to reflect behind closed doors." Qionghua reminded Cui Hengyue in a low voice.

"So what? I didn't want to come out." Cui Hengyue gave the guards a contemptuous look, and ordered: "Help them up against the wall, so that they don't look suspicious."

After Qionghua did so, she hesitated and said to Cui Hengyue: "I still won't go, you go, I'll wait for you here."

Cui Hengyue was a little taken aback: "You haven't seen each other for 15 years, but if you have a chance tonight, are you sure you don't want to go?"

"I"

Qionghua hesitated again.

Seeing this, Cui Hengyue persuaded: "The opportunity is rare, if we don't see each other today, maybe the next time we meet will be 15 years later, can you afford to wait?
"Besides, with me here, what are you afraid of?
"At worst, he would be caught by the fat monk, but we didn't do anything, and he wouldn't do anything to us. At most, he would punish us to shut ourselves up and think about our mistakes.

"You have been locked up in the North Catacombs all year round. What's the difference between shutting your doors and thinking about your mistakes?"

Qionghua was persuaded by Cui Hengyue: "Okay, I'll go."

So, Cui Hengyue took Qionghua, avoided the guards all the way, went to Wenshu Pavilion familiarly, and arrived outside Lin Jiang's room.

"Boom—boom—"

Hearing the familiar knock signal, Lin Jiang jumped up from the bed and ran to the door.

Opening the door, he grabbed Cui Hengyue outside and dragged him in, then closed the door: "Yueyue, you are finally here!"

Cui Hengyue: "... Qionghua is still outside."

The smile on Lin Jiang's face froze instantly.

The next moment, a bigger smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly opened the door.

But when he saw Qionghua outside the door, he suddenly became at a loss: "Qionghua, I."

Qionghua was also very excited, but she seemed calmer than Lin Jiang: "Let's go in and talk."

"Oh, good." Lin Jiang hurriedly gave way to Jin Qionghua and closed the door.

Cui Hengyue spoke first: "Is that key ready?"

Hearing Cui Hengyue's question, Lin Jiang reluctantly looked away from Qionghua's face, and replied respectfully: "It's ready, I'll get it."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jiang walked to the bed, took out the key from the hidden compartment of the bedside table, and handed it to Cui Hengyue.

After receiving the key, Cui Hengyue asked again: "The dagger you helped me fight was taken away by Mu Yun, can you fight me again?"

"Yes, it is possible." Lin Jiang showed embarrassment: "It's just that I spent ten years making that short knife. I wonder if you can wait?"

Cui Hengyue: "."

ten years?

She has no time to wait.

"Forget it, you don't need to call. I will find a way to get it from Mu Yun. Let's talk about the old days."

Cui Hengyue walked towards the door, and when she reached the door, she turned her head and said to the two of them, "Hurry up, you only have a quarter of an hour."

After reminding them, Cui Hengyue held up the key to look at it, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

Lin Jiang quickly looked at Qionghua: "How have you been doing these years?"

"I'm fine." Qionghua was also looking at Lin Jiang. Seeing that he was unshaven and sloppier than when he was with his wife, she couldn't help but feel sad: "Why did you become like this?"

Lin Jiang thought that Qionghua disliked him, and immediately panicked: "I am not like this usually, I just built that key for Yueyue these few days, so I have no time to clean myself up."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue looked over, the last time she saw him, he looked like this.

Moreover, the little madman came to see him every year, and he always looked like this.
Feeling Cui Hengyue's gaze, Lin Jiang was like a child who was found out for doing something wrong, wishing to hang his head to the ground, and never dared to defend himself again.

But Qionghua believed his words: "Now that the key is ready, you can rest. Take a good bath tomorrow and tidy yourself up."

"Okay." Lin Jiang raised his head and smiled.

After Qionghua asked a few words about his recent situation, her expression suddenly became serious: "Do you remember what happened five years ago?"

"Five years ago."

Lin Jiang covered his head with one hand and cried out in pain.

Cui Hengyue looked over, and saw Qionghua looking at Lin Jiang with distressed expression, and said to him: "What's wrong? Do you still have a headache when you think about what happened five years ago?"

"Hmm." Lin Jiang responded in pain, and patted himself on the head hard.

Damn it, why does his head feel like it's going to burst when he thinks about what happened five years ago.

Seeing Lin Jiang's pain, Qionghua couldn't bear it, she stepped forward and grabbed his right hand: "Don't hit him, don't even think about it, I won't ask, don't ask anymore"

Cui Hengyue looked away.

Lin Jiang's eyes were red, and he looked at Qionghua guiltily: "I'm sorry, my lady, I'm sorry for you"

"No, you are not wrong, and you have not been sorry to my wife and me." Qionghua comforted Lin Jiang softly: "My lady knows that you lost your left hand five years ago, it must be because of her.

"She kept telling me that she hurt you, she was sorry for us
"The lady is very guilty. She hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past 15 years. Even though I told her that none of this was her fault, she still blamed herself.

"The lady was tortured by the past and was sick. She left early. You must not do this. Yueyue is still young, and she still needs us."

Speaking of the latter, Qionghua was sobbing.

Looking at the tears on Qionghua's face, Lin Jiang's eyes were also wet. He raised his right hand, trying to wipe Qionghua's tears, but when he saw his dirty and torn sleeves, he immediately hid his hands behind his back.

"Don't be sad, I will live well, protect Yueyue, protect you."

Hearing this, Qionghua wiped away her tears and smiled at Lin Jiang: "Okay!"

At this time, a clear voice sounded in the room: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will definitely find out who hurt you five years ago and avenge you."

Qionghua and Lin Jiang looked at Cui Hengyue together.

Cui Hengyue turned her face away, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

She didn't say what she said just now, it was said by the little lunatic
　Good night~(.-ω-)zzz
