Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 19

Chu Qingyan, who went out of the hall and returned to her parents' residence, breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was filled with a sense of refreshment. This was a feeling she had never experienced in the debate competition in her previous life. It will also stop at the end, and just now, it is not only a refutation without gunpowder smoke, but also a battlefield where you live and die. After a round, they won blessings for their parents.

Seeing this, Chu's mother immediately patted her on the back with pity on her face, "It's all because mother is useless, it all depends on you to come forward."

Chu Qingyan turned her head to comfort her mother with the most sincere smile tonight, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter has grown up and can protect you and Daddy, so don't worry about causing trouble to her, she is the sweetest thing for you burden."

Mother Chu was moved, stroked her daughter's increasingly radiant face, and nodded with sobs.

Father Chu surrounded his mother and smiled happily.

Because of the farce tonight, Chu Qingyan thought that Mrs. Chu and the others would not come to harass them again, so she stayed in her parents' room with peace of mind.

Mother Chu twisted a cotton cloth to wipe her husband's cheeks, then she turned her head and asked her daughter, who was mending clothes by the candlelight, "Caicai, mother doesn't know one thing, why did you and the others propose to restore the family tree for your father?" , you didn’t agree, but brought it up at the end, what’s the difference?”

Hearing her mother's question, Chu Qingyan put down the needle and thread in her hand, and said with a slight smile to the warm candlelight, "Mother, do you think they would really do what they asked for? It was just a stopgap measure. Just trying to fool us! My daughter wants them to be convinced and dare not play any tricks. Now the daughter is the life-saving rope they have to rely on. At the beginning they wanted Li Daitao to be stiff, but unfortunately they chose the wrong person. The daughter is not a child A sheep, but a little fox in a rabbit's fur."

As she said that, Chu Qingyan showed her white teeth naughtily to her parents who were cuddling together under the candlelight, biting and biting.

Mother Chu couldn't help being amused by her daughter's childish action, but Father Chu thought it was fun, and after wiping his face, he also jumped in front of his daughter, imitating her movements, and the two happily tried to see whose teeth looked more like wolf teeth.

The warm light of the fire danced happily in the shabby room, infecting the coldness of the courtyard.

And this scene happened to fall into the eyes of the people stationed outside the courtyard.

"Lord Huo Ling, have we neglected our duties tonight? The prince asked us to help the young lady of the Chu family escape, and we not only failed to protect her, but also exposed her escape plan. Should we ask the prince for guilt?" the black-clothed guard asked. asked hesitantly.

Huo Ling's eyes moved away from the dizzy window sill, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, "The lord asked us to escort her away, but he didn't say that he would help her escape, and besides, her plan was full of mistakes, and she would be discovered sooner or later. It doesn't matter at all."

The man in black glanced at him, "Master Huo Ling, you actually don't want the young lady of the Chu family to escape from the Chu family at all, do you?"

Accidentally, his thoughts were seen through, Huo Ling simply stopped hiding, and hummed, "That's right, is it possible that when you want the prince to get married, there is no bride? Let the prince become the joke of the whole Xixuan again? "

The man in black immediately shook his head.

"That's right!" Huo Ling's eyes fell on the window sill again, and he could vaguely see the thin voice, and the disgust flashed in his eyes, "Although this little girl from the Chu family is still young Small, but at least not stupid, talk is better than nothing, and I don't want to see the prince being influenced by those people because of his marriage."

The man in black kept silent, as if he felt the same way.

There was no sound around him, and Huo Ling nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his brainwashing work was still very successful.

Chu Qingyan, I don't know if you can survive your wedding, but in these few years, you can't leave the capital.

Huo Ling's eyes turned cold.

One of the benefits of a showdown with the Chu family is that the food for parents has improved, they have moved out of the dilapidated yard, and moved into the renovated yard again, and she has also gained the convenience of going out. It took a morning to get the opportunity.

The purpose of going out is not only to get acquainted with the capital and see the customs and customs of the prosperous ancient capital, but the most important thing is to seek a doctor for my father.

This time out, Camellia accompanied her, and Mrs. Xing also sent a few Kong Wu's powerful Xiao Si to accompany her. Chu Qingyan knew that she was protecting but actually monitoring. The Chu family was still afraid that they would take the opportunity to escape, so Chu Qingyan didn't care.

Since Shancha betrayed her last time, she has spoken very little, but Chu Qingyan doesn't care, whoever chooses which path has nothing to do with her, and besides, she has never regarded Shancha as her confidant, so when Shancha When she came out to testify, she had no other emotions except a little surprise.

Going out is quite new to Chu's father, especially when seeing the snacks and desserts all over the street, Chu's father ran even more happily. Chu Qingyan originally took him to see a doctor, but she didn't want to have to follow him Chasing after him feebly.

"Bam—"

Father Chu's eyes lit up when he saw the candied haws, he didn't see the people walking towards him at all. Now, he just took a few steps back, just in front of Chu Qingyan who was eager to meet him.

Chu Qingyan helped her forehead helplessly. Daddy was really impatient, but the most urgent thing to do was to see if Daddy was injured. After the inspection, Chu Qingyan remembered that Daddy had injured the innocent just now, so she immediately turned to look sideways.

There were only four or five men wearing bamboo hats standing in front of them. The leader of the man was wearing a black robe with his hands behind his back. He was tall and tall. She had to raise her head to face the black gauze curtain. With just one glance, she could see this man It was the master among them, the black material was of high quality, and the arrow cuffs embroidered with golden silk thread revealed a pair of slender fingers that seemed to be favored by the moon god. Poetry, there are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting, learning, cutting, and grinding.

And at the moment when Chu Qingyan was looking at her, the man also noticed her, and his brows under the bamboo hat slightly frowned.

Chu Qingyan, who was about to look at it again, vaguely met the eyes under the black veil, she couldn't help being startled, they were sharp eyes, and the sharp eyes made people afraid, she quickly lowered her head, just now she saw clearly When Dad was about to bump into this person, the servants around him had already stepped forward to cover him, and these people were tall and big, so they should be fine, so Chu Qingyan quickly pulled Dad and apologized in a low voice, Then he immediately pulled him towards mother's direction, but he didn't see his father narrowing his eyes suspiciously at the man in front of him.

"This man, looks like he's stuck an onion upside down?"

The broken and murmured voice was drowned in the crowd and the candied haws everywhere.
