Crown Jewels

Chapter 238

Looking at his hand blankly, Jiang Chengcheng's eyes overflowed with a wry smile, or rather, it wasn't that there was no warmth in his eyes, but that the warmth and warmth in the past had been exhausted by her at this moment. In his eyes, She probably doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.

Thinking of Lu Yu again in his mind, tears welled up in the corners of Jiang Chengcheng's eyes.

She couldn't, she was worried, worried that he would go to such a remote and desolate Lingnan with his illness alone.

Swallowing the sobs in her throat, the woman didn't care to hug her cloak tightly, stretched out her stiff right hand and stubbornly wiped away the hot tears overflowing from the corner of her eyes, and when she looked at Lu Yi again, her brows and eyes became more determined.

The robe behind him was grabbed again, accompanied by the muffled sound of creaking snow, Qi Yuan's back was slightly stiff, and he did not turn around.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Chengcheng was afraid that he would leave, so she would not even have the last chance.

The sobs that were choked in his throat could no longer be suppressed, and the cold wind mixed with the snow, accompanied by her voice, poured into his ears, and he couldn't allow him to refuse.

"Qi Yuan, I know, I know I'm sorry for you!"

"A good person like you was delayed by me before."

"But I can't control it either. I've liked Cousin Lu since I was a child, and I can't control the liking in my heart at all..."

"I know, I'm sorry for you, but when you and I got married, it was because of my father's intention. I thought that if I married you honestly, I could live a happy life with you and forget everything about the past, but..."

"But, I found that I can't do it at all..."

The sound of crying brings out depression, the hand that was gripping his robe tightly, has lost all strength at some point, it seems that he can no longer bear the passing despair, Qi Yuan closed his eyes, and suddenly recalled himself when he got married .

At that time, although he noticed some clues, he only thought that the bride was shy.

The sneer overflowing from the throat was full of mockery, and all of them drifted in the cold wind without any trace.

But it was only later that he realized that the Heshun family house that Qi Yuan painstakingly wanted to maintain was just his wishful thinking.

The snow was falling, soaked into the clothes after being melted by the body temperature, Jiang Chengcheng fell in the snow, and the red cloak seemed to let out the last desperate cry in the cold bone.

Looking at Qi Yuan who was slowly turning around, the woman supported her strength, her eyelashes fluttered and her words fell on the frost and snow, only a faint pleading remained in her eyes...

half a month later

The Qi Mansion in Yiningfang is full of haggard white silk, which adds a touch of plain sadness to the snow in this winter.

Outside the gate of the Qi Mansion, a man in white also stepped on the snow on the steps, his peach blossom eyes looked even more stern under the snow, and the people who surrounded the mansion couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Speaking of Qi Shaoqing in Xinghua Hutong, he is the top leader under Jiang Jin of Dali Temple.

But now they have been married for three years, not only have no children, but even the young wife has contracted a cold and died of illness.

Speaking of which, this Qi Shaoqing is really pitiful.

The onlookers looked at Qi Yuan sympathetically, but the man in white sackcloth didn't seem to have heard of it, and the horseshoes made a muffled sound as the people voluntarily moved out of the way.

After running through the cold wind of deep winter, Qi Yuan stepped on the stirrup and held the rein tightly in his hand, and went directly to the south gate of Lin'an City.

Looking down the hill, I could just see the guards in government clothes and holding a big knife. The team staggered forward to escort the Xing prisoners who had been assigned to the prison, and they were ordered to move towards the south of the Lingnan.

"Qi Shaoqing, you're here—"

Wang Dianyu's voice was full of surprise, and then he led Qi Yuan's horse with his usual expression, followed his gaze, and also followed the staggering team.

Looking beyond the mountains, rocks and green trees, Qi Yuan's eyes fell on the prisoners in custody. A tall man in gray and white concealed a petite boy who was following the team of prisoners. Although his steps were staggering, But move forward tenaciously.

Qi Yuan retracted his gaze, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the cool breeze from the mountain stream poured into the corner of his thin robe, making people gasp.

Wang Dianyu was holding a big knife, and followed the mother who was carrying the burden behind her, not daring to say a word, just quietly looking at the man facing the wind, just looking at the man's lonely back, inexplicably feeling a little unspeakably sad.

The distribution team in the distance was getting further and further away. After a while, Qi Yuan raised his eyes again. Tao Hua's eyes were already calm and calm, and his voice became clear again. His voice was filled with cold wind, making it more calm and firm.

"Wang Dianyu, this trip is far away, they... will leave it to you and Wang Momo."

When these words came out, Grandma Wang, who was carrying the burden, held back the sourness in her heart, and looked at the handsome and upright Qi Yuan in front of her, with a bit of guilt in her cloudy eyes, Young Master Qi is the best person in the world, but her girl ...Why don't you know how to cherish it.

You have to spoil yourself like this, and go to Lingnan with Young Master Lu to suffer those hardships.

Wang Momo had to admit that Young Master Qi treated his girls well, but after all... his own girls were not good enough for him.

Wiping the corners of her eyes with her frozen red hands, Mother Wang once again looked at Qi Yuan who was dressed in sackcloth and still could not conceal her demeanor, and suddenly felt that this seemed to be quite good.

Without the messing around from his own girl, Young Master Qi should be able to find someone better.

It's good to find someone who is more worthy of him and can take care of everything he has. He will, and he will always meet that person.

"I will definitely live up to the entrustment of Shaoqing—"

"Old slave remembers—"

The sound of the two's promises wafted in the wind, and then they got on their horses one after another and chased after the distribution team that was staggering forward on the official road.

At the wind outlet of the mountain, the team in Qi Yuan's sight completely disappeared, and he stood quietly in the snow for a while.

After turning around again, the depression in the man's peach-blossom pupils completely dissipated, and all the past seemed to have completely faded away from his life along with the winter snowstorm.

And he is worthy of others, and there is no need to indulge in that bad past.

……

The thin prison uniforms could not keep out the cold wind. In the distribution team, the shackles on their hands seemed to lock all their vitality. The eyes of both men and women were numb and dull. Jiang Chengcheng followed the team with difficulty, and the shoes and socks under his feet had long been worn out. Blistered, but still staggered behind the team.

It was three poles high in the sun, and the sun scattered the snow on the ground to shine brightly. The guard leading the way ordered the dispatched people to stop and rest for half an hour. Regardless of the stinging pain in the soles of their feet, Jiang Chengcheng hurriedly chased Lu Yu, revealing his burden. I have to help him apply the ointment on the wound on the shoulder and back.

"pat-"

The medicine bottle was thrown on the snow-covered ground, and the muffled sound made Jiang Chengcheng bite her lip, holding back the hot tears that welled up in her eyes, and subconsciously looked at Lu Yu with a stern face.

The man closed his eyes, his dry lips were pale, and the woman's heart was trampled in the mud between his brows.

"Jiang Chengcheng, get lost—"

"Get out, I don't need you to do this—"

Lu Yu's words brought tears to Jiang Chengcheng's eyes, and he grabbed the man's prison clothes with his fingers, fearing that he would also abandon him.

"Lu Yu, I, I can't go back—"

"I can't go back, Jiang Chengcheng in Lin'an City, she is dead, I really, can't go back—"

The woman's cries came into his ears, and Lu Yu's brows twitched. He opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Jiang Chengcheng, whose eyes were blurred with tears. His straight back was weak and he seemed to understand something. Unable to bear it, the dark despair in the depths of his pupils brought out fear, his right fist slammed on the snow, and the corners of his eyes were scarlet, warning every word.

"Jiang Chengcheng, if you listen to me and stay, even if Jiang Chengcheng is no longer here, Master Jiang will..."

"I know I know--"

Lu Yu's words were interrupted by the woman's crying, "But compared to that, I'd rather follow you..."

The woman's eyes were scarlet, and she looked aggrieved and forbearing at the moment. Lu Yu, who looked at her with cold eyes, froze for a moment.
