Chance Encounter

"The little guy has a sweet mouth." Ye Qingwan bent down and rubbed his head. She happened to see a few paper lanterns in his bamboo pocket, and secretly lamented in her heart which parent could be so cruel to treat such a young child.

She brought it out to sell lanterns without fear of being abducted by traffickers. Then she chuckled and said, "Tell me, how do you sell these lanterns?"

The child whose head was rubbed blushed and took two steps back, scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Tongtong's lanterns sold well today, and my brother even praised Tongtong! Tongtong is happy, and the sisters are beautiful.

The remaining lanterns will be given to my sisters." After that, he put down his bamboo bag, took out the lanterns and handed them to them one by one.

When he walked back to Ye Qingwan, he started to squirm again, and after waiting for a moment, he handed the lantern to her hand.

Ye Qingwan took it with a smile. She thought that this little baby could coax girls at such a young age, and it would be great when it grows up. But... seeing that beautiful girls are a bit thin-skinned.

"Sisters, we can't ask for your lanterns in vain." Bai Yanran took out her purse and knelt down, saying softly: "You should keep these and go back to find your brother. A person from Xiaowa's family is very dangerous.

of."

The child didn't refuse. His eyes lit up, he accepted the purse and thanked sweetly: "Thank you, sister!"

After saying that, he took the money and ran away.

Ye Qingwan thought it was a bit funny and teased her: "You are really willing to give it a whole bag of money."

Bai Yanran smiled and said: "It's not much. I gave it to him because he was cute. If it were you, you would do the same thing."

Ye Qingwan smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

The servant who was following behind hesitated to speak: "Miss...,"

Bai Yanran sighed and said in a muffled voice: "We will go back after putting out the lights."

After receiving the accurate answer, the servant lowered his head and continued to follow the others silently.

They walked through the bustling long streets, through the lively markets, and through the alleys with a strong smell of fireworks, and came to a river. There were few pedestrians on the river, but it was quiet.

The surface of the lake was sparkling, reflecting the city of Shangjing, which was brightly lit like daylight at night. The evening breeze came slowly, and Ye Qingwan's cheeks felt hot, and her head felt dizzy. Only then did she realize that she was getting drunk.

She laughed at herself in her heart: It was just that she hadn't drank for a long time, so some wine could make her drunk.

Later, she and Bai Yanran squatted by the lake and lit the lanterns and placed them lightly on the water. The two small lanterns floated with wishes on the endless river, looking a little lonely.

Ye Qingwan looked in the direction where the lanterns were floating, and vaguely recalled the time when she accompanied Shen Ling to set off the lanterns.

The delicate little princess snuggled obediently in Ye Qingwan's arms, looking at the lanterns floating on the lake. Suddenly she turned around and blinked her deer-like eyes, asking her: "Will the lanterns float to my brother?"

I wonder if my brother is doing well in Mingzhao."

The innocent words of an ignorant child were like sharp knives scratching her heart, and Ye Qingwan felt heart-wrenching pain.

She was like a mirror in her heart, how could she not know that Shen Yan was having a hard time in Mingzhao, but she still lied to coax her little princess: "Brother is living a good life there, and it won't be long before your father...

We will bring him back."

She lied to Shen Ling and also herself.

"What a coincidence, sister."

Hearing the sound, Ye Qingwan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the drunkenness she had just brewed instantly dissipated without a trace. She immediately woke up, became wary in her heart, and turned her head.

It's Ye Ningyu and Ye Ningxue.

Is it really such a coincidence? In such a sparsely populated place.

"...Qingwan." Sensing that the two of them had bad intentions, Bai Yanran tightened her sleeves and spoke uneasily.

Ye Qingwan silently pulled her behind her, turned her head and whispered to Zhiyizhile, "You go and wait somewhere else, and come back later."

She knew that the appearance of these two sisters would be up to no good, and the two girls who were most likely to be implicated were her two girls who had no status in the house. If something went wrong this time as she thought, they would definitely be involved.

Among them, instead of letting them worry here without any help, it would be safer to let them find a cool place to stay.

As soon as Zhiyi's mind turned around, he immediately felt at ease, so he grabbed Zhile and left.

Seeing the two little girls walking away, Ye Qingwan responded to them lukewarmly: "What a coincidence."

"Shameless thing." Ye Ningyu cursed in a low voice.

However, Ye Qingwan still heard it.

After pondering for a long time, she suddenly held her forehead and sighed pretending to be annoyed: "Why do you, such a good eldest sister, scold me?"

"My mother is not here, who are you showing off your coy look?" Seeing Ye Qingwan's appearance, she immediately became furious. No longer caring about sisterhood, she said clearly: "I don't know who it is, I'm sick.

I just happened to be here and I can’t wait to go to Gayuan Temple to hook up with His Highness King Chen.”

"No...it's not like that..." Bai Yanran said in a panic. She tried to defend Ye Qingwan, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Ye Qingwan raised her palms to applaud her and said sarcastically: "Sister is really well-informed. You already know what happened in the morning." After mocking her, the girl suddenly smiled: "Sister doesn't know how to do it.

Did they send someone to follow me?"

Hearing this, Ye Ningyu was so angry that she could no longer stand. She strode up to Ye Qingwan and was about to take action. She said angrily: "Who is following you? Stop giving me a bad reputation! You have such a bad reputation.

It’s hard for a prominent person to do something without others knowing about it!”

Ye Qingwan sneered and ignored her, focusing on Ye Ningxue, who was still standing expressionless.

I thought to myself, it seems that some people want to be like oriole.

Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Yanran walked out from behind Ye Qingwan, stepped forward and stood in the middle to separate the two of them, and said, "Stop arguing."

"Bai Yanran?" A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Ningyu's face, and then he laughed a few times and said disdainfully: "I have long disliked you, but I have to admire you, you are really tolerant, and you are the only one who can bear it.

Gotta have that idiot’s temperament.”

After she glanced at Ye Qingwan, she continued: "But are you willing to endure her because you really want to be friends with her? Ridiculous! You can only lie to my stupid sister. You know why,

Now stop interfering in our family's affairs and get out of my way!"

Ye Ningyu just said this, and Ye Qingwan didn't say a word, just looking at her in silence.

Ye Qingwan felt that it was getting more and more interesting. After these words, it seemed that Ye Ningyu was furious and then turned on Bai Yanran, which made people mistakenly think that she said the following words because she was too excited.

, which made Ye Qingwan think that she was vindicating herself for her careless friendship. In fact, it had alienated the relationship between her and Bai Yanran while making her have a better impression of Ye Ningyu.
