the first lady

Chapter 79

Qiao Linger led the way, turned left and right, and entered a place covered by vines.After a period of darkness, there is a lake with a bright mirror, sparkling under the sunlight, which is a beautiful picture.

By the lake, there is a huge milky white boulder, which has been washed by rain for many years to make it extremely smooth and spotless.

The ground under the feet is made of soft leaves, and it feels like walking on cotton, which is very comfortable.

Walking to the side of the boulder, Qiao Linger showed a joyful smile, mixed with the smell of lake water and soil, which made people feel particularly comfortable, as if no matter how much pressure there was, it would disappear in smoke at this time.

Qiao Yishu looked at Qiao Ling'er, doubts appeared in his eyes again, after all...

"Second brother, what do you want to ask me?" Although Qiao Ling'er liked the scenery here, she did not forget the fact that Qiao Yishu was by her side.

Turning her head, Qiao Linger's eyes met Qiao Yishu's eyes, causing Qiao Yishu to be at a loss for a while.

Looking at Qiao Linger's face, Qiao Yishu's mind recalled many of her previous weird behaviors, whether it was words, deeds or manners, they were very different from the previous fourth sister.

Finally, Qiao Yishu said, "You are not my fourth sister, who are you...?"

The frank words made Qiao Ling'er's throat blocked for a while, and she felt a little fear for no reason in her heart. She lowered her eyelashes and smiled lightly: "Second brother, I'm Ling'er..."

"You're not Ling'er." As soon as Qiao Ling'er said it, Qiao Yishu cut it off.

Not to mention other times, just today she thought of using a bronze mirror to reflect the sunlight to defeat Blood Slave and Ji Nu, including the easy back and forth on the high wall, which was very different from the original Qiao Linger.He didn't want to expose it, but for the safety of his family, he had to ask clearly!
Qiao Ling'er looked up at him, her amber eyes looked at her quietly, even if she wanted to avoid it, she couldn't avoid it.

"Tell me who you are? Where is Ling'er? Otherwise..." Qiao Yishu took a step forward, and a soft sword appeared in his sleeve, which was placed on Qiao Ling'er's neck without warning.

"Second brother?" Qiao Ling'er was slightly startled by Qiao Yishu's sudden action, not because of his sword, but because of his eyes.

"Who sent you here? What's your purpose in pretending to be Ling'er?" Qiao Yishu asked word by word in a soft voice.Under the other sleeve, the fist was already tightly clenched, and inside the chest, the heart was beating violently, afraid of the truth she was about to tell!
Qiao Ling'er quietly looked at the man in front of her, she didn't hate or dislike him, she just couldn't bear him.When he asked this question, he probably made a lot of determination to ask it.If he hadn't fought hundreds of psychological battles, he probably wouldn't have chosen to ask.

After hesitating for a while, Qiao Ling'er stood up slowly, there were some things that had to be faced.In front of Qiao Yishu, she knew that she had to give him an explanation.

"Second brother, if I tell you, will you accept it?" Qiao Linger asked in a low voice.

Qiao Yishu looked at Qiao Linger's appearance, and the hand holding the soft sword trembled slightly.After a long time, he removed the sword and nodded heavily.

Qiao Linger sighed, and said slowly: "My name is the same as your sister's name, also Qiao Linger, from..."

The low female voice spread quietly in this no-man's land, the voice was not loud, there was no intonation and there was not much ups and downs, but the only listener was disturbed, and the whole face was unbelievable .

"...I know it's hard to believe such a statement, but I did travel through time." Qiao Ling'er finished her final words and let out a long breath.

Qiao Yishu couldn't come back to his senses for a while, his mind was filled with words like 21st century, time travel, soul, etc. These words were really unfamiliar to him.

Qiao Linger was not in a hurry to convince him, but just sat aside and waited for his reaction.

In fact, she said she didn't want to be nervous, but there was a little sweat in her hands.After coming to this world for such a long time, it was the first time that she told another person about her "adventure".

Let alone these ancient people, even she never believed in things like time travel, but when this kind of encounter really happened to her, it was difficult for her not to believe it.

The autumn wind blew gently, lifting Qiao Ling'er's hair hanging by her ear, with a little chill.

Qiao Yishu kept looking at her, wanting to look into her soul, to see if the soul of this body was his sister or another stranger.

After a long time, Qiao Yishu calmed down a little.

Looking at Qiao Ling'er, he lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, my original sister, she has..." He couldn't say the word "dead", and when he mentioned it, he had a feeling in his heart. A sour taste.

Qiao Ling'er couldn't see his discomfort, but she was also surprised at his ability to accept it.If it were someone else, they would have wiped her neck with a sword.

"Sorry." For the former Qiao Linger, she didn't know what to say.

Qiao Yishu slumped down on the boulder weakly. He saw that something was wrong with Qiao Linger, and maybe he still held it because someone pretended to be his younger sister.But the truth...is so cruel.

If the current Qiao Ling'er was impersonated, then his sister might still be alive, but now... there is not even a possibility.

Qiao Linger squatted down in front of Qiao Yishu, raised her head, and gently held his hand.

"I'm sorry that I can't change this fact. If I could, I wouldn't occupy your sister's body." Qiao Ling'er's throat was a little dry. She never thought that there would be a day when she would reveal this secret herself.

Where Qiao Yishu's line of sight meets Qiao Ling'er's line of sight, there is such a familiar face, but what he sees in those eyes is no longer the emotion he is familiar with.

"...It's hard for you to do these things for our Qiao family." Qiao Yishu showed a wry smile, and suddenly felt empty in his heart.

There was no blame, no madness, Qiao Yishu's reaction was far beyond Qiao Linger's expectations.Not to mention scolding her or other things, at least it should be unacceptable after learning that she occupied the original owner's body.But Qiao Yishu was so calm, which made her a little uneasy.

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you were no longer my original sister." Qiao Yishu smiled slightly as if seeing Qiao Linger's confusion.

"Why?" Qiao Linger asked in surprise.

Qiao Yishu shifted his gaze to the lake, and said calmly: "You said you inherited the memory of the fourth sister, so do you remember the relationship between her and our brothers?"

Such a question made Qiao Linger stunned, then nodded and replied: "Although she and Yichen are twins, they have followed you since childhood. It can be said that you are her mentor and the person who understands her best... "

Speaking of this, Qiao Linger also understood why Qiao Yishu said that she knew she was not the original sister when she saw her for the first time.Even though she has the memory of the previous person and her body, what she can't learn is the look in Qiao Linger's eyes back then.

It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul, and often a person's eyes have exposed his identity.

Qiao Yishu turned to look at Qiao Linger again, showing an elegant smile: "Don't worry, I won't say anything about it."

"Why?" Qiao Linger's pupils widened, "I'm not your real sister..."

"But you are still Ling'er!" Qiao Yishu accepted Qiao Ling'er's words, "In our eyes, you are the jewel in our palm, the beloved daughter of our parents, the good sister of me and my elder brother and third brother, and also the daughter of my elder brother and third brother. Yichen, Miner's fourth sister, isn't she?"

Seeing Qiao Yishu's serious look, Qiao Ling'er suddenly felt a little sour on the tip of her nose, and her eyes turned red.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Qiao Ling'er about to cry, Qiao Yishu couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly bent down.

On the one hand, Qiao Linger tried hard to force back her tears, but on the other hand she tried her best to smile and said, "No, nothing, I, I'm fine..." Even though she wanted to stop the tears, she still couldn't help it flowed out.

"Ling'er?" Qiao Yishu was really panicked at this moment, a little caught off guard, and finally just stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.

"Why... I'm obviously not your sister... Why did you accept it so easily?" Qiao Linger's heart was touched by a weakness that had been hidden for a long time. It was a kind of weakness that she longed for in her previous life but never Something that has not been obtained.

That thing is called affection!

"Ling'er..." Qiao Yishu smiled bitterly. He couldn't easily accept that his own sister had disappeared in this world.However, if such an unreal thing happened, what could he do?He is not a god, not a ghost messenger from the underworld, he can't drive away the soul in this body, and then return the soul of his sister.

Tears slipped down quietly, Qiao Ling'er couldn't allow herself to stop her, Qiao Yishu didn't speak, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Qiao Ling'er raised her head, her eyes were red, she saw the marks on Qiao Yishu's chest and couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I made your clothes dirty."

"Ling'er..." Qiao Yishu suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart when he heard the obviously distanced tone, "If I don't ask you, you will keep hiding it, right?"

"Yes." Qiao Linger answered frankly.

"If I insist on my answer when I ask you, I won't have any doubts. Why are you willing to say it? If you say it, I don't believe your wording?" Qiao Yishu asked the question in his heart.

"Because it's you, so I don't want to deceive you." Qiao Ling'er replied seriously, and walked towards the lake. "I don't know if it's me or the instinct of this body that makes me believe in you. I won't tell other people, but I will tell you."
