Chapter 417: Still unwilling to tell me the truth?
"Madam, I'm back from collecting leaves."
The three people in the room were overjoyed and stood up quickly. They just talked about her.
Shi Ye came back by himself, and his clothes were no different from usual, but his face was frighteningly pale.
Qiao Yuyan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly ran over to help her into the house, "Why are you back alone? I heard that you were seriously injured. If it's not convenient for you to come back, just send me a message."
Shi Ye smiled and waved his hand, "There are only some superficial wounds left. I was afraid that my wife would miss her so I came back. But after a few days of recovery, everything is not peaceful now. I don't feel at ease outside."
Helping her to lean on the bed, Qiao Yuyan thought for a while, sent the others away, and asked Qixi to close the door.
Shiye looked at her in surprise, "Madam, do you want to tell me something?"
Qiao Yuyan smiled, then sat down beside her bed, pointed to a few boxes on the tray beside her bed and said: "I asked Pinlan and Qixi to dig these out from my dowry last night. They are all from my grandmother."
You have prepared some good wound medicine and some medicinal materials for me a long time ago. You may need them, so just keep them by your side!"
Shi Ye quickly said: "My wife gave me last time, but I couldn't even use it up. How can I get so much?"
Qiao Yuyan just smiled, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from the box, "I'm afraid the injury may have reopened all the way here, so I'll reapply the medicine for you! Get down."
Before Shiye could refuse, Qiao Yuyan reached out to stop him, "Listen to me."
Her tone was very calm, but the determination in her tone could not be ignored.
Shiye knew her temper and had no choice but to obey her words.
When the gauze was untied to reveal the stab wound on her body, Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but squeeze the bottle in her hand tightly, and her eye circles were a little red.
But she didn't say anything, she just carefully cleaned the wound and then applied the powder again.
There were many injuries on Shi Ye's body, ranging in size, which were somewhat shocking on her thin body.
Qiao Yuyan remained silent and carefully wrapped the gauze back on her, then placed it on several healed scars on her back.
Shi Ye suddenly trembled, Qiao Yuyan said softly: "Your family used to run an escort agency, how could you be so seriously injured?
And this injury doesn’t look like an old injury, Shi Ye, did someone bully you?"
"No, no." Shiye put on his clothes in a panic, then turned back, "It happened a long time ago."
"You still refuse to tell me the truth?" Qiao Yuyan had tears in her eyes, "The last time you came back from Daxiangguo Temple, you were not seriously injured, but you had been recovering for a long time, and then you went out to see me, and your face was still so pale.
, but I didn’t think much about it at the time, so..."
She paused, her eyes clear again, "Did you get injured at that time?"
Shi Ye quickly knelt down on the bed but made no excuse.
Qiao Yuyan looked at her steadily, "Did he hit you?"
She didn't say who it was, but Shiye looked up and realized immediately, shaking his head quickly, "No, I didn't protect the girl well. It was my dereliction of duty. This kind of punishment is what I deserve."
"Why? The wasps that day were caused by the Yao brothers and sisters. What does it have to do with you? If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened. How could he punish you?"
As he said that, he remembered what happened outside the city that day, and asked, "I came back from outside the city with him that day, and you only showed up the next day. Are you injured too?"
Shiye didn't look into Qiao Yuyan's eyes, "That time, my master showed mercy, I only received ten sticks. Because Miss, I still need to be here, I'm afraid, Miss, you will become suspicious."
She also called her girl, which made Qiao Yuyan feel so sad that it took a long time for her to find her voice, "Does grandma know that you are his?"
Shi Ye just pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Then when did you start working for him?"
After picking up leaves for a while, he looked up at Qiao Yuyan as if he had decided something, "Girl, actually, I have been by your side since you were nine years old."
These words made Qiao Yuyan open her mouth in surprise and look at her in disbelief.
"Master can't stay in Jiangzhou anymore, and he's afraid of something happening, so he left me behind, asking me to protect your safety, and...asking me not to show up unless you are in danger."
Qiao Yuyan immediately remembered, "So that time I accidentally fell into the pool, it was you too...
Shi Ye smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
All the guesses in Qiao Yuyan's heart were confirmed, and for a moment she didn't know what it felt like.
She suddenly felt as if she was living in a cover in her previous life, and she had never seen this cover before.
Wen Tingyuan, what kind of person is he?
Just like what she said this morning, she didn't want to ask because she was afraid that he would have to answer.
But that doesn't mean she's really not curious.
Probably, I’m still a little scared!
"I'm sorry, girl, I've been... deceiving you."
Qiao Yuyan came back to her senses and remembered Shiye's death in her previous life. With her martial arts skills, she was not an ordinary robber in her previous life.
She even thought it was Qiao Yuning who arranged it, but now it seems that Qiao Yuning alone may not be able to save Shi Ye's life.
"Stop talking nonsense. You have been injured several times because of me. If I blamed you, wouldn't I become a heartless person?"
She supported Shi Ye and lay down on the bed again, "But Shi Ye, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. I always thought you were mine, but in fact, you have always taken orders from him."
These words made Shi Ye's expression darken. She bit her lip and said nothing.
"So, are you willing to be my Shi Ye? Just stay with me."
Her tone and expression were so serious that Shiye didn't react for a moment.
"I know that he is doing it for my own good, and I also know that you have your mission, but I still can't accept it. If you have to choose, should I or him?"
"Girl, I..." Shiye didn't seem to know how to answer for a while. She thought for a long time before saying, "Once people like us have an identity, they will never be able to wash it off. Shiye... Miss Meng
Wrong love..."
"I just want your answer!" Qiao Yuyan interrupted her, "Don't think about anything else. I just ask you, if you could choose, would you choose me or him?"
Shi Ye was stunned for a breath, then suddenly smiled, "If you can walk in front of the girl, why would you still be willing to go to that ghost place?"
"Okay!" Qiao Yuyan nodded, "Then you live well and live for a long time. I won't let anyone bully you anymore. I don't want you to work hard for me. I just want you to live."
Let’s bring back our past lives together.
Qiao Yuyan silently added this sentence later.
Coming out of Shiye's house, Qiao Yuyan directly called Qixi into the warehouse.
There were only two of them, "Madam, are you looking for something?"
"Yeah!" Qiao Yuyan nodded and didn't let anyone else in.
She was looking for something, something that she had been neglecting but might be important.
