Wan Qing, who returned to the mansion, did not directly confront Zuo Jian. The two sat in the lobby and looked at each other in silence.
In the end, it was Wan Qing who broke the silence, "Dad, there are some things that we should just tell you directly. Use it and use it. We all know why."
It's just for the throne, it's just for power. Just because of these, you have to give up the people's livelihood and sacrifice the love or life of everyone around you. It's really a good idea. It's a pity that those who are trapped in it will never see through it.
"Since you know it all. Who do you want to choose? This is the only one I can let you choose..." Zuo Jian looked at Wan Qing, who looked more and more like himself and Mrs. Zuo, and sighed to herself. But she still didn't want to.
Let go.
Zuo Wanqing lowered his head and smiled lowly.
A high-sounding reason, the only choice left.
"I won't choose anyone." Wan Qing stood up and walked to the door, turning around with an unclear smile, "You can't choose, but I can choose. Since you have betrayed our mother and daughter, then,
Don’t blame me.”
From the first time she killed someone, from the first time she was pushed to face a difficult situation, a dark seed had already been planted in her heart.
In her previous life, she had no power or advantage. She was forced to leave her home and enter that building.
In this life, she has almost everything she should have. Only family love is the missing thing that cannot be filled.
She only asked for someone to protect her, but found that this person would never appear in her past life or this life.
So she can only be ruthless, ruthless to herself and even ruthless to all those who dare to take advantage of her.
The distance between one layer and the other is like window paper. Once it is pierced, nothing will be left.
Mrs. Zuo and Zuo Jian still have a relationship as husband and wife. However, Wan Qing and Zuo Jian have no contact.
Before the Queen Mother pointed it out, she might have cared about the hard-won family affection.
After that, all that was left was the artificial performances. So she wouldn't care about it anymore.
Wan Qing walked away with a puff of sleeves, but in Zuo Jian's eyes at this moment, it was a paper kite that had already left his hand. He could only watch it fly away, unable to catch it anymore.
If we say that Zuo Jian's vigorous ambition is what Wan Qing is tired of.
Mrs. Zuo's consistent concern for her was like a debt in her heart. So Wan Qing didn't want Mrs. Zuo to worry more.
"Mother, no matter what happens after Wan'er enters the palace tomorrow, don't say anything and don't care about anything." Wan Qing took Madam Zuo's hand and whispered. After that, she took Zhiyuan and Mo
Xiang packed up some personal belongings and left the house.
Seeing the murderous Wan Qing, no one in the mansion could stop him.
When Chu Luchen saw Wan Qing at the door of the other courtyard, he suddenly felt like he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this time.
"Didn't you say that I'm welcome to come to this other courtyard at any time?" Wan Qing smiled lowly at Chu Luchen, but she still couldn't hide the sadness in her brows.
Now, she seems to be taking advantage of Chu Luchen's affection for her.
Chu Luchen nodded, turned around and led her around the other courtyard.
"By the way, do you still have your peach core?" Halfway through, Chu Luchen turned around and looked at Wan Qing.
Catching Chu Luchen's eyes off guard, Wan Qing took a slight step back, but couldn't help but sink in his clear gaze, and took out the washed peach core from the small bag she carried with her.
After Chu Luchen signaled Wan Qing to close her eyes, he took off the jade pendant from his waist, put it in Wan Qing's hand, and took away the peach core, "Wan Qing, I am very lucky that I was able to get out of the imperial mausoleum alive."
Wan Qing opened her eyes suddenly and looked at Chu Luchen. The sincerity reflected in her eyes made her give him a hug of unknown meaning before she had time to confirm her feelings, but she hurriedly pulled away.
"I promise you, I will perform well in the scene tomorrow..." Zuo Wanqing whispered in Chu Luchen's ear, took the jade pendant he just handed to her to her waist, and took it off
He picked up the tattered jade pendant and put it away close to his body.
Chu Luchen watched quietly, stretched out his hand to smooth Wan Qing's hair, as if he was reluctant and afraid, "Wan Qing, have you really decided? If you take this step, there will be no turning back.
.”
In any case, she could no longer repay Chu Luchen's friendship.
Therefore, she was willing to trade her life for his prosperity and stability! What's more, it was better to repay Chu Luchen's kindness than to waste her time by marrying those two people with no ambitions, or suffer a lifetime of misery.
"Plant the peach tree first." Chu Luchen retracted his emotions that were about to be exposed, and hurriedly asked Jiuying and Ba Geer to get those shovels and other things.
Seeing Chu Luchen sparing no effort to dig the hole himself, Wan Qing suddenly laughed and took the peach core out of his hand while he was not prepared. She laughed softly in his astonished eyes.
I don't know whether it was because the flowers in the courtyard were too beautiful, or because the sunshine that day was too strong. When Chu Luchen saw Wan Qing's unbridled smile, he felt a little dizzy.
"Second Prince, Wan Qing has an unkind request. Can Wan Qing be allowed to be unscrupulous in this courtyard?" Wan Qing bent down, put the peach core into the dug hole, and looked up in this posture.
Chu Luchen.
Fragments of sunlight fell into Wan Qing's eyes because of Chu Luchen's blocking.
Chu Luchen knew that he could not refuse, and he would not refuse either.
"Wan Qing, in this courtyard, no one will question you. No one will care about you." Including me. Wan Qing knew what Chu Luchen didn't say, so her smile became even bigger.
Chu Luchen may not be the best choice, but she is willing to give it a try alone.
"Let's go, I'll show you where you live." Chu Luchen filled in the soil, then watched Wan Qing carefully pour water on her head, silently closed her eyes and made a wish, then took her to the right.
The courtyard on the right was built by Chu Luchen according to Wan Qing's preferences, so Wan Qing fell in love with that place as soon as he walked in.
Surrounded by a bamboo forest, the house is clean and comfortable. Opening the window is a pond, where several koi carp can freely come and go.
"Do you like it?" Seeing that the smile on Wan Qing's face never faded, Chu Luchen spoke softly. When Wan Qing nodded, his smile became even stronger.
The throbbing in his heart made him hope that tomorrow would come sooner. He was also afraid of failure tomorrow. He couldn't help but want to ensure that tomorrow's plan was foolproof. He thought that Wan Qing also needed to rest.
"Be careful tomorrow..." Chu Luchen warned again before retreating.
Zhiyuan and Moxiang packed up Xinruan under Wanqing's instructions. Wanqing looked at the koi. The sparkling water made her want to escape involuntarily, but she couldn't look away. Thinking back to Luncheng and Chu Luchen's plan
, Wan Qing slowly relaxed her body and lay on the window lattice.
