C76 (1/2)
When she returned to the Flowergold Pavilion, Zi Yan opened the robe in her bag and smiled. She shook the robe off and said, ”Miss, your highness is really considerate. Look at the robe.”
Leaning lazily on the beauty bed, Qiao Liangjin, who was enjoying reading the recent story written by Cai Dai, glanced at the open Rex Bunny Robe in Zi Yan's hands and laughed out loud, ”This guy really made such a fat robe, and it's even black. He knows how skinny black it looks.”
Before her laughter had stopped, she heard a voice from the door that made her even more happy: ”What are you laughing at?”
Qiao Liangjin jumped up from the beauty bed with a ”Ya” sound and rushed towards the person standing by the door. She threw herself into that person's embrace and smiled warmly as she raised her head and asked, ”Brother, when did you arrive?”
That person was already covered in snow. He lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin's flower-like face and smiled as well, ”We just arrived at the Golden Flower Pavilion. We wanted to let you know first.”
Dai Di, who was standing to the side, came over with a broom and swept away the snow on Qiao Ruoyin's body.
Qiao Liangjin's hand calmly pressed down on Qiao Ruo Ying's wrist. She then smiled: ”Big brother, come. Sit here. It's snowing heavily today.”
Qiao Ruo Ying turned her head to look at Snowflake outside the door and nodded, then was pulled by Qiao Liangjin to sit at the table.
Qiao Liangjin called for Ruo Lan to bring the snacks she had prepared in the kitchen, while she poured a cup of hot tea for her.
Seeing that Qiao Ruo Ying had returned safely was the happiest thing that had happened to her. She was somewhat lonely in this residence that was filled with smoke and miasma.
Qiao Ruo Ying scratched Qiao Linjin's nose as usual. She had a doting look and her face looked a little more mature.
This trip to Shengcheng City was enough for him to grow up for a few years. The sudden feeling of maturity he experienced made Qiao Liangjin feel somewhat unfamiliar.
Qiao Liangjin propped her chin up with her hands and asked: ”Where's Lingyu?”
”Time to go back.”
”You didn't have a lifetime?”
Qiao Ruo's handsome eyebrows slightly knitted. She raised her head to look at Qiao Liangjin and asked: ”Why did you decide on a lifetime?”
Qiao Liangjin blinked her eyes and said with a smile, ”It's the same on stage. Beauty saved the hero, and from then on, they will live happily together.”
”That was just the play on stage. I owe the spiritual jades, but I don't necessarily have to marry her to repay the debt. She has her responsibilities, and I have mine. ” Qiao Ruo Ying's voice was calm and steady. There was a completely different maturity to her voice.
Qiao Liangjin looked at the Qiao Ruoying in front of him happily. He had grown up and this was what she wanted to see the most. Her brother was finally able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Qiao Liangjin placed her hand on the back of Qiao Ruoyin's hand and patted it gently. ”Relax, big brother. With me here, there is nothing that can't be solved.”
Qiao Ruo Ying retracted her hand that she had placed on the table. She clenched her fists and shook her head as she sighed. ”But now, I am a cripple. All my martial arts are gone.”
This was probably the most painful thing for a man in this era. Without martial arts, it was more painful than death.
Qiao Liangjin drew circles on the table with her finger and smiled mysteriously: ”Big brother, I have something that I need your help with. I don't need your kung fu.”
After Qiao Liangjin quietly told Qiao Ruo Ying about her plan, Qiao Ruo Ying's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled. She slapped the table and said: ”Little sister, how come I didn't know you were so cunning before.”
Qiao Liangjin felt a headache coming on as she rubbed her forehead. ”Big brother, scheming is a derogatory term. Are you trying to say that I'm so smart?”
Because of the heavy snow, the sky darkened very quickly. When the purple smoke was lit up, Qiao Liangjin suddenly asked, ”Brother, did you go greet the madame and father?”
Qiao Ruo Ying screamed in pain. She stood up and walked toward the door with big steps.
It was already dark, but the snow didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Qiao Liangjin was pacing back and forth in the hallway, occasionally raising her head to look at the snow outside. Suddenly, as if she had made a decision, he said to the servant girl inside the door: ”I'm going to the chrysanthemum hall, wait for me here.”
Without waiting for them to say anything, he draped the black shawl over his shoulders and jumped over the wall of the Flowermoney Pavilion.
Qiao Liangjin only felt that her lightness skills had reached an outrageous level after the night in the Magnificent Bazaar. In just a few moments, she had arrived at the Chrysanthemum Flower Hall.
Raising his head and looking at the entire chrysanthemum garden, the dim yellow candle light flickered, and the sound of silk and bamboo pipes could be heard from within.
The corner of Qiao Liangjin's mouth twitched slightly. This really was a good place to get drunk and dream his life out.
After shaking off the snowflakes on her cloak, Qiao Liangjin entered the guesthouse and walked straight to An Ge's side. She then placed her slender fingers on An Ge's wrist.
An Ge didn't want to be the one to make a move on her. He frowned and was about to wave his hand when he saw the face in the cloak. He was extremely happy and shouted, ”It's you!”
Qiao Liangjin blinked and pointed to the second floor.
An Ge nodded and led her upstairs to the room. An Ge then passed the notebook to Qiao Liangjin and asked worriedly, ”Miss, you haven't appeared for so long. Did something happen? There has been a rumor in the capital that you have contracted a serious illness. ”
Under the candlelight, Qiao Liangjin carefully read the information in the book. She nodded and said, ”I went on a long journey and have already returned. How is it? How about Bai Wuya? ”
