Chapter 264 Let’s say goodbye properly!
A lingering fragrance wafted through her nose. It was the medicinal fragrance that Du Kongqing specially made for Qiu Niang because she couldn't sleep. It not only soothed the mind, but also removed the strange smell in the room caused by long-term lack of ventilation.
After a long time, Luo Xiaoran stretched her arms straight forward, spread her five fingers, turned her wrists and repeatedly observed the palms and backs of her hands.
"I'll help you kill Tang Tian!"
Hearing Luo Xiaoran's sudden words, Qiu Niang's eyes moved slightly, and she said lightly:
“Although I didn’t hear it clearly that day, I vaguely heard that Tang Tian’s family background was extremely prominent. If he was killed, what would happen to the entire Luo family?
Besides, he went to Quan Ya Pavilion to have fun, and I am a prostitute in Quan Ya Pavilion. It is a business, so he did nothing wrong."
Having said this, Qiu Niang pulled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a strange and beautiful smile, like a nameless flower blooming in an extremely cold place.
"Besides, I have received so many guests. Do I have to kill them all one by one?"
"Then kill them all!"
A beam of light shone on that extremely cold place. Could it be that the nameless flower was also able to be bathed in the morning sun?
The smile on Qiu Niang's lips immediately dispelled the gloom that had been clinging to her. She was already pretty, but now she looked half-dead, like a sick girl. However, because of the finishing touch of this faint smile, her whole face looked a lot more lively.
"Xiao Ran, you rarely get angry. Normally you are like a sail, able to handle both small winds and big waves.
Only in front of important people will you show such strange emotions and say things that break your principles.
Meeting you in this life is the blessing I earned in my previous life!"
Luo Xiaoran lowered her eyes and sneered.
"You know I consider you an important person, but you still want to die?"
Qiu Niang stopped smiling. She buried her head in her chest, not to hide her tearful eyes. Her tears had long been dried up from nightmares night after night.
She was just very... ashamed. Just as Xiao Ran said, she was a selfish and cowardly person who only wanted to free herself...
"I've survived so much pain, why can't I survive this time?"
Luo Xiaoran's questioning came to her ears again. Qiu Niang reached out and grabbed the clothes on her chest, trying to soothe the dull pain there.
Yes, why not this time?
"If you are afraid of the gazes of others, I can send you to a place where no one knows you, and you can live well there, is that not okay?"
"What about revenge? Go and seek revenge from Lu Zhu'er?"
"How about we go and smash up the Quan Accord?"
……
No matter what Luo Xiaoran said, Qiu Niang seemed to have turned into a piece of wood sculpture, her soul was out of her body and her body was silent.
"Is there no one in this world that you miss?"
Luo Xiaoran asked Qiu Niang softly, murmuring, her voice so ethereal that it seemed as if it would soon be blown away by the wind. She broke through the barrier of the silent space, and tried to extend an arm to Qiu Niang, who was hanging on the cliff on the stormy night.
As if she heard the desperation in Luo Xiaoran's voice, the woodcarver Qiu Niang finally responded, her voice as faint as a mosquito and her breath as thin as a thread.
"Xiao Ran, Chen'er, Uncle Li, Niu Dan, Kong Qing... I don't want to leave everyone in our Luo family, but I... I am in too much pain. I can't breathe and I can't sleep. Please let me go!"
"Are you willing to give up Yun Hu?"
Luo Xiaoran's eyes turned cold and she took a strong dose of medicine.
Originally, Luo Xiaoran didn't want to mention this name, but Qiu Niang had a heart that wanted to die, but didn't have a heart that could face her feelings directly. So this feeling was Qiu Niang's Achilles' heel, and she had to put Qiu Niang to death!
Qiu Niang trembled all over, and since that day, Yun Hu never came again.
When she couldn't sleep, she couldn't help but wonder, was Yun Hu upset that the woman who had been courting him all along was actually a prostitute? Or was he upset that this prostitute pretended to be pure and innocent and rejected him?
……
Whenever she thought of this, Qiu Niang's heart felt as if it was being stabbed by an extremely sharp knife, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, making her feel excruciating pain.
A person like her would not dare to dream of the unrestrained and free-spirited Young Master Yun even before she got married, let alone his current appearance?
"Are you willing to give up Yun Hu?"
"Are you willing to give up Yun Hu?"
"Are you willing to give up Yun Hu?"
……
Luo Xiaoran's questions echoed in my ears like a curse.
Qiu Niang was silent for a long time. The impending death brought her courage, allowing her to face her heart and pour out all her feelings for Yun Hu, but all her thousands of words were ultimately reduced to just four words.
"I don't want to give it up."
Luo Xiaoran: ...(-"-angry)
I can bear to leave everyone in the Luo residence, but I can’t bear to leave my beloved, Qiu Niang!
Alas, the word "love"...it's hard to comment!
"If you can't bear to do it, then don't die."
"These two things...are not related."
"'Reluctant' means 'still attached'. What you need to do now is to eat well and take good care of your body. Then we can say goodbye after Yun Hu comes back!"
……
A few days later, more than a dozen fast horses galloped along the official road from Kyoto to Yizhou, raising dust.
Yun Hu entered the military camp on the outskirts of Yizhou, hurriedly told his men behind him something, and then rode out of the camp again, but was stopped by a familiar voice.
"stop!"
Hearing these harsh words, the dusty Yun Hu turned around reluctantly, a flattering smile flashing across his bearded face.
"Qi Tian, we haven't seen each other for a while. Do you miss me?"
Qi Tian ignored Yun Hu's antics and maintained his serious expression. He looked at Yun Hu's hand holding the reins and spoke coldly:
"Where are you going?"
"I just came back from a mission, and I'm covered in dust. I'm going to the post station in Yizhou to wash up and change into clean clothes." Yun Hu looked very natural.
"Were all the clothes in your tent torn to pieces by wild wolves? Or is it that a grown man like you cannot take a bath in the military camp?" Qi Tian asked with a sneer after hearing Yun Hu's nonsense.
Yun Hu answered fluently, "It's mainly to deal with some matters of the Dongfeng Caravan. As you know, I have to check the accounts once a month."
"What task did the master assign you to do? Why haven't I heard about it?" Qi Tian pressed on step by step, not giving Yun Hu any chance to breathe.
Yun Hu deliberately frowned, "The mission assigned by the master must not be disclosed. Even if we are good brothers, I can't tell you!"
Seeing Yun Hu's stubbornness, Qi Tian finally lost his patience and said:
"Do you think you can hide what you did from the master? How dare you touch Tang Tian without the master's permission? You are asking for your life!"
Since Qi Tian knew everything, Yun Hu stopped pretending.
"I never thought of deceiving my master. I still have one thing to do. When I finish it, I will apologize to my master!"
"You are absolutely obsessed with a prostitute like that!" Qi Tian spoke without thinking.
"Qi Tian!" Yun Hu suddenly raised his voice, "She is the girl I like. If you still consider me a brother, I don't want to hear such words from you again."
