My wife has a secret
Chapter 106: Cutting off the love and confirming the love
Chapter 106: Cutting off the love and confirming the love
……
"It looks like the young master has already got the token for the second puzzle."
Below the attic was an inconspicuous courtyard. Cui'er and Yang Liu were waiting at the door with umbrellas, waiting for Xu Qing to come down from upstairs.
Cui'er was not surprised that Xu Qing was able to pass the test. After all, Xu Qing had put in good efforts for the young lady and had spent a lot of time and effort on Xiangling two years ago.
"Master, the third puzzle is very simple."
Cui Er calmed herself down and asked, "Master, do you know what kind of flowers are placed in front of the courtyard gate?"
Xu Qing looked in the direction Cui'er pointed and saw several medium-sized flower pots placed quietly under the eaves in the courtyard.
The flowers grown in these pots are shaped like small saucers, with petals clinging to the buds, forming an elegant arc.
Each flower is as white as jade, exuding a fresh and elegant scent that is intoxicating.
"Magnolia."
This question is not difficult, because when Xu Qing came to Wangyue Tower some time ago, he had witnessed the shadows of these flowers and knew that they were the work of Qin Shuying.
The only thing that surprised him was that magnolia is a tree plant, and it can make the branches thrive in the flowerpot and bloom such beautiful flowers. Qin Shuying's ability to grow flowers can be said to be unique.
"correct answer."
Cui'er turned around with an umbrella in her hand, and her figure disappeared into the doorway of the courtyard.
Yang Liu, who was standing next to him, saw Xu Qing arrive at the courtyard safely, and her face was filled with joy and happiness.
When Cui'er's footsteps were drowned out by the sound of the rain, she smiled and said, "Master, I know you can do it... You just need to answer a few questions correctly, and then you can walk to the young lady."
Seeing Yang Liu smiling so proudly, Xu Qing thought she was going to remind him of the next answer.
But who would have thought that the girl would turn around and follow Cui'er's footsteps, walking lightly into the yard.
Xu Qing followed him in and found that there were not many decorations in the courtyard except for the flower pots at the door.
Walking into the room, it was also empty.
The floor here is paved with pearwood, and there are several pots of orchids placed next to the load-bearing pillars.
Looking further inside, Cui'er and Yang Liu were no longer to be found. Only a beautiful woman with eyebrows as beautiful as a flower was standing among them, bowing to Xu Qing who entered the room.
The woman has a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, and looks elegant and refined.
The heavy rain outside the window was like a waterfall, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, making the whole environment dim.
If Xu Qing had not looked carefully, he might have mistaken the woman in the room with a slender and graceful figure and a dressing style 90% similar to Qin Shuying.
After all, the only difference between the two is their figure and appearance, but one can still see the shadow of Qin Shuying in her.
"Mr. Xu, I am Jiang Ji from Tianyuan Tower. The elder sister who taught me the art is your fourth wife, Qin Shuying."
"I can tell."
Xu Qing stood over, not so concerned about the identity of the woman who suddenly appeared.
The deadline Qin Shuying set was midnight. She had rushed all the way here from the palace, and adding the time spent at the first three checkpoints, it was already past noon and almost 3 p.m.
In this way, the speed of solving the remaining puzzles becomes the key among the keys.
Even if you answer all the puzzles correctly and use up the time specified by the other party, isn't it still considered a failure?
"Master Xu, I know your purpose today, so I will not waste my time and ask the fourth and fifth questions first."
Jiang Ji looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile, "Cui Er should have reminded you of the fourth question, which is what is the intention of Wan Qingyuan in the first question? To tie the knot? Or to sever the ties of love?"
"Cut off the emotional ties."
Xu Qing did not hesitate and gave the answer he had prepared for a long time. Without judging whether Xu Qing's answer was correct, Jiang Ji continued to ask: "The fifth question is also related to it, that is, when you saw Wan Qingyuan two years ago, did you also cut off your love?"
"No, it's a promise of love."
Along the way, the puzzles set by Qin Shuying seemed to have no connection on the surface, but in fact there were patterns.
Wan Qingyuan used the woman's bun to lure people, hinting at her intention to return to goodness.
Although the second level was based on questions set by the Cao E Stele, Qin Shuying's real question was about Xiangling.
It doesn't matter whether the riddle is solved or not, because Cui'er, who is waiting downstairs, doesn't want the answer from beginning to end, but the token of love in Xiangling's hand.
Qin Shuying uses Xiangling to metaphorically represent her own future fate. If she meets an unfaithful man and is betrayed and abandoned, she will have no choice but to be an "unmarried" woman like Xiangling.
Even more exquisite is the design of the third level. Magnolia is light-loving and shade-tolerant, and its blooming flowers have a strong fragrance.
Moreover, from every perspective, it is a symbol of purity, nobility and elegance among the folks, which is extremely inconsistent with the environment of the Red Mansion brothel.
But considering Qin Shuying's identity as a prostitute and her liking for things with strong floral scents, they naturally have a lot in common.
"The first three questions are exactly the same as the ones from two years ago. If she had no intention of getting married and simply wanted to use me to solve the hidden dangers around her, she would naturally not design such a complicated puzzle."
Xu Qing expressed his inner thoughts.
"Similarly, two years later, she chose to recreate the puzzle. Naturally, she wanted to say goodbye to her past self, so the answers to the fourth and fifth questions are to end the relationship and to seal the relationship."
Jiang Ji nodded slightly, very satisfied with Xu Qing's answer.
She said slowly, "My lord, you are smart, and your answer is impeccable. And Sister Xiangling didn't stop you, so I have no reason to be the bad guy."
Jiang Ji lightly lifted her skirt above her knees, looking charming and graceful.
"If it was two years ago, I would have wanted to tease you, but now it's a private matter between you two. How can an outsider dare to interfere?"
……
Falun Temple, outside Beijing.
It was raining heavily, the monastery was brightly lit, and shadows of people were swaying all around.
A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat and a raincoat walked in from outside the unattended temple with the help of a thin walking stick and climbed up the five-step staircase.
Although his body was a little hunched, his shoulders, back and arms were very strong and tight, making him look different from ordinary people.
"bass."
As the middle-aged man slowly approached, several strong "monks" appeared around the house.
But everyone can see that these "monks" are full of weirdness all over their bodies.
Although they had shaved their heads and wore Zen robes, they all looked like bears and tigers, with hunched backs and knives in their hands, with vigilance and ferocity flashing in their eyes.
Those knives did not look like the blades used by monks to practice martial arts, but rather standard machetes with the tips sharpened to extreme.
"Let him in."
Hearing the order from the people inside the house, the "monks" outside the house straightened their backs and took a step back.
They turned their backs to the monastery and surrounded the house like an iron barrel.
The people in the room opened the door, and as the middle-aged man stepped over the threshold, he heard a gnashing cry.
"Spring Envoy!"
