Flower Moon

Chapter 35
"Next." The guard finished calmly, without even looking at Tao Yue'er, he pushed her out of the cell.

Obviously, such a thing seems too common to them.What happened to Tao Yueer was just a job to them.Everyday.

Tao Yue'er was heartbroken, the grace of amnesty for the world is the freedom of the sinner, but she will never be free again.

Tao Yue'er originally thought that if she worked hard, she would buy a real estate for Hua Ling in the future, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, she might be able to find an honest person to fill in the house.But now, she will have no future.

She was a body of guilt, and she was tortured by being branded.Everyone who sees the brand on her face will stay away from her.

When Tao Yue'er walked out of the cell, the sunlight in the sky was dazzling. For the first time, she thought, why is the sunlight so dazzling?She didn't look forward to living in the sun at all.

She just felt hot.

"Tao Yueer." A pleasant and familiar voice came from not far away, deep and deep, and Tao Yueer was momentarily surprised.

She thought she would see Hua Ling, but she didn't want to, but the voice at this moment was so long that it seemed to come from the depths of her memory - it was Lu Guanting.

It is really a person who is so old that it should only exist in memory.

And this person would always appear when she was most embarrassed.It was in the past, it is in the present, but what will happen to him if he doesn't know the future?

But if she could, she would never want to see him again.

"Tao Yue'er, how did you get into this look?" Lu Guanting's voice came again, but it was no longer far away, but close at hand.

Tao Yueer looked up, and saw Lu Guanting standing in front of her, looking at her with regret.

"Why are you here?" Tao Yue'er hurriedly raised her hand, subconsciously turning her head to cover the scar on her forehead.

"I heard you're not doing well, so I'm here to pick you up." Lu Guanting grabbed Tao Yue'er's wrist and took her hand off her face.

Eyes met, Tao Yue'er looked at him close in front of her, with clean and noble features as in her memory, and then looked at her filthy body, she was even more embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and get in.

"Tao Yue'er, I'm sorry, I'm late. If Qiubi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you were almost going to Muzhou." Lu Guanting's eyes were red, as if he was acting.

He really still cared about her.

Tao Yue'er's heart suddenly tightened.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried her best not to let them flow.

Lu Guanting was most afraid of seeing Tao Yueer cry.

He once swore to the sky: "Yue'er, I will let you live the best life, I will not let anyone bully you, and I will not let you shed tears."

They were so naive back then.

He was sure he could do it.

She also had complete confidence that he could do it.

But the reality is so unsatisfactory.

Lu Guanting married Chen Qiubi, and she was over 25 years old, and no one cares about her, and now she is even reduced to a prisoner.One is above the nine heavens, and the other is dusty.

Even so, they didn't mind turning around to help her in the slightest.

But she cares.

No woman would like her husband to be involved with other women.Even if this person is also his good friend.

Tao Yue'er: "Our paths are completely different, you shouldn't come to see me again, Qiubi might be unhappy, you..."

"I don't mind." At this moment, a gentle female voice came from behind, interrupting Tao Yue'er.

When Tao Yue'er turned her head, she saw Chen Qiubi getting off the sedan chair at the entrance of the alley.The sedan chair is gilded on all sides and is of great value.In addition to the four bearers, there are two servant girls on the left and the right.

It seems that their days are getting better and better...

Tao Yue'er felt even more ashamed of herself.

Chen Qiubi approached, held Tao Yue'er's hands, and said, "Yue'er, we have always missed you, and we all hope you live well. Give us a chance to make up for you, okay?"

compensate?

Compensation for what?

How to compensate?
Buy her a house and pay her living expenses every month like a maid?To support her until the end of her life?
Sorry, she doesn't need such mercy.

Tao Yue'er turned around at the moment tears were about to fall, and said, "Qiu Bi, Guan Ting, I will take care of myself, don't worry about me, and don't have any contact with me. I am a body of guilt, It doesn’t match your identities, it’s better to stay away.”

"Yue'er, the three of us have been so close since we were young, so why should we bother if we don't distinguish between you and me?"

"Maybe there was no distinction in the past, but it's different now." Tao Yue'er said: "Lu Guanting is the crown of the imperial court. If he had a close relationship with me and was caught by others, it might delay Lu Guanting's career. It’s easy, but the future is the most important thing.”

The two wanted to say something, but Lu Guanting and Chen Qiubi in fancy clothes stood together with Tao Yueer who had just been released from the prison, which was really eye-catching.

"With such a rich friend, why does she still need to steal? Why did she make herself like this?"

"What kind of a good man is a friend of a thief? I don't know how he got that fancy dress."

……

People passing by couldn't hide their ridicule, and they didn't shy away from it at all.Lu Guanting and Chen Qiubi's complexions were not very good, and Tao Yueer was even more sad, and turned around to leave.

Lu Guanting grabbed her and said to her: "No matter what others say, you will always be our friend. If you are short of money, you can come to us. We will never leave you alone." It is difficult to find them, so there is no need to steal them.

Tao Yue'er understood, but was too lazy to argue.

"Well, good." Tao Yue'er clenched her fists tightly and quickly responded.

She didn't want to explain anything, and she didn't even want to say anything in defense.

Who is she, Chen Qiubi and Lu Guanting knew very well, how could they steal things?
Even if she died, she would not do such a thing.

Even though they grew up together, they were childhood sweethearts, but they still don't understand her...

But if you don't understand, you don't understand, there is really no need for Lu Guanting to step on himself at this time.

Tao Yue'er suddenly didn't want to pretend in front of them.

"I didn't steal anything, and I don't need you to pity me. Stay away from me, and don't let others see the joke." After Tao Yue'er finished speaking, she let go of her fist in discouragement, and found that she didn't even have the strength to refute. It looked so pale.But she still raised the corners of her mouth and gave them a big smile. At the same time, she put down the covering hand on her forehead, revealing the tattoos on her face.

They already knew everything, didn't they?
Why is he hiding it?

Tao Yue'er smiled bitterly, and said lightly: "I'm leaving, and there are still people waiting for me to go home."

"Tao Yueer..." Chen Qiubi wanted to say something else, but she was held back by Lu Guanting.

Lu Guanting said again: "Yue'er, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Tao Yueer waved her back to him, and said with a smile, "Treat Qiubi well, as long as Qiubi is happy, I have no other vision."

"Don't worry, Qiubi is my wife, and I will definitely not betray her." Lu Guanting embraced Chen Qiubi's arm, his love was evident in his words.

——I will never let her down.

This sentence is so similar.He seemed to have said it to himself too... but that was irrelevant.

it's already over.

Tao Yue'er let out a long sigh of relief, and walked away from them step by step with heavy and tired steps.
