The whole family was wiped out?The treacherous minister turned around and cooed at me

Chapter 22: Who is she who is "not like her at all"?

Bai Kou remained silent, and the smile on his face also faded away. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and lowered his head, and said softly: "Oh."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Qin Shuangjiang and Yan Yunxiang went to the market. The streets were busy with traffic and people coming and going, mixed with the hawking of vendors.

After getting off the carriage, Yan Yunxiang was instantly attracted by the bustling and lively scene. She looked here and there, and her personal maid Qiulian followed her, fearing that she would be lost if she didn't pay attention.

Qin Shuangjiang and Bai Kou followed not far away. Strangely, Zhuling didn't seem to be in a hurry and just followed Qin Shuangjiang until Yan Yunxiang and Qiulian were drowned by the crowd.

Qin Shuangjiang glanced at Zhu Ling, who still had an indifferent expression next to him, and deliberately joked: "Master Ling, why don't you go after him? What if something happens..."

She paused slightly and did not continue speaking. She only turned her head slightly to look at Zhuling, observing Zhuling's face, but Zhuling only said with an indifferent expression: "Don't bother me, Madam. My duty is to protect Madam. As for the Miss Yan, she has someone to protect her, so even if something happens, there is no need for her subordinates to take action."

Qin Shuangjiang silently looked back at her and said thoughtfully: "Oh, really."

Her tone was unusually perverse. For some reason, Zhuling felt a little nervous when she heard this. If she hadn't known that the person in front of her didn't have any power against the heavens like Yan Xu'an, Zhuling almost thought she had sent someone to do something to Yan Yunxiang. Order something.

After walking forward for a while, she saw Yan Yunxiang stopping in front of a long queue of dim sum shops. Seeing Qin Shuangjiang coming, she waved to Qin Shuangjiang: "Sister Shuangjiang, come quickly, this shop's The snacks look delicious.”

Qin Shuangjiang just smiled and nodded at her, but showed no intention of speeding up his steps. He had only taken two steps when a familiar voice broke through the noise behind him, and it became clearer and clearer.

She paused subconsciously, and when she turned around, she looked at the man behind her who was running towards her through the crowd. Sure enough, it was Xiao Rongce.

Zhuling was the first to react before her. She turned around and stood between the two of them. Xiao Rongce stepped forward and paused, looking at Zhuling with slightly cold eyes. However, Zhuling just lowered her eyes and nodded in greeting: "Master Xiao. ."

Xiao Rongce ignored her and looked directly past Zhuling, landing on Qin Shuangjiang behind her. He opened his lips slightly: "Shuangjiang, let's talk."

Qin Shuangjiang didn't reply. Zhuling turned to look at Qin Shuangjiang, with a hint of warning in her eyes, as if to say: If you dare to talk to him, I will definitely tell the adults.

Originally, Qin Shuangjiang didn't plan to go with him, but when she met Zhuling's threatening eyes, she curled her lips and responded: "Okay, where do you want to chat, Mr. Xiao?"

Then, the two chose a pavilion on the water that was slightly away from the busy city. Spring had just begun, and many people were boating on the lake. The small boats pushed ripples on the lake covered with lotus leaves and lotus flowers.

Qin Shuangjiang stood at the railing, looking at Yan Yunxiang waving to her on the boat, with a faint smile on her face. Xiao Rongce stood aside, his eyes falling directly on her, and he hesitated to speak.

Before Xiao Rongce said anything, Qin Shuangjiang took the lead and said, "It must be Qin Zhiyun."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rongce was stunned for a moment. Qin Shuangjiang turned around and looked at him with questioning eyes.

When their eyes met, Xiao Rongce finally understood the meaning of her words. Before she even uttered the words of explanation, Qin Shuangjiang already knew the answer from his shocked and evasive eyes.

Previously, when she was in the general, when she knew that she was going to be given to Zhao Ziyu, she cried and begged Xiao Rongce to take her away. The "she" in his mouth, "You don't look like her at all when you cry", Qin Shuangjiang has always wanted to know. who is it.

It wasn't until she saw Qin Zhiyun outside the Forbidden Garden just now. She had to say that even Qin Shuangjiang himself felt that they were indeed [-] or [-]% similar. In addition, at the banquet, the way he looked at Qin Zhiyun was... With a trace of reluctance.Thinking of this, her eyes gradually dimmed, as if all the cold sting was removed in an instant. Even though she was prepared in her heart, she still couldn't help but feel sad, just like the look in her eyes that day when she heard him say that she started crying. .

Xiao Rongce's heart ached slightly, and he opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. After a long silence, he just stretched out his hand, trying to hold her hand like before, and wrap her in his arms to comfort her.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand and before it touched her, she subconsciously stepped back and dodged it lightly. Seeing his hand suspended in mid-air, Qin Shuangjiang smiled bitterly, put away the helplessness in her eyes, and said distantly: "Speaking of it , I should also thank you. If it weren’t for you, maybe I wouldn’t have been able to survive the past 18 years.”

Xiao Rongce's eyes were gentle, as if they could drip water. She said, her tone paused slightly, and then said: "But it's all over. Mr. Xiao."

The sound of "Master Xiao" seemed to completely widen the distance between the two of them.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry about Shuangsheng...I, I really didn't mean it that day..." He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but no matter what he said now, it seemed so feeble.

When he went to the General's Mansion that day, he met Qin Zhiyun halfway. As always, he wanted to stay with her for a while, even if it was just to chat with her.

Faced with his entanglement, she said: "Rong Ce, ask yourself, are you helping her because she looks like me, or because she is herself?"

Qin Zhiyun's words were like a sharp blade, slicing open his paralyzed heart, so painful and clear.

He once felt that they were childhood sweethearts, but she married someone else. He would never fall in love with anyone else except Qin Zhiyun in this life, and he was only nice to Qin Shuangjiang because she was so much like her.

So in order to prove that he didn't love Qin Shuangjiang, he said sarcastic words to her himself. Until the Qin family was wiped out, he looked for her for a long time. He finally admitted that he loved her, but when he heard the news about her again, it was her. Taken back by Yan Xu'an.

Seeing that Qin Shuangjiang was indifferent, Xiao Rongce gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and tried his best to adjust his emotions before continuing: "Shuangjiang, Yan Xu'an is cruel and ruthless. He only has rights in his eyes. He can't have feelings. He even raises General Qin, who is bigger than him, can betray you easily, let alone you."

"Shuangsheng, please leave him. I admit that what happened before was my fault. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

He looked at her and kept apologizing, but Qin Shuangjiang always looked at him with cold eyes and a smile. She waited until he finished speaking before she said, "Okay, I'll leave him and follow you."

Xiao Rongce was stunned for a moment, joy and shock flashed across his eyes, but in the next moment, Qin Shuangjiang said again: "Then when he finds us and kills us all, you will be happy, right?"

He stared at her blankly, speechless for a while, and the joy in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a deeper loss.

Seeing the melancholy and helpless look on his face, Qin Shuangjiang just smiled and sat down with his sleeves unconcerned. He rested his hands on the railing of the pavilion and turned to look at the boats passing by on the lake.

She said: "You should know that people like me don't care about love at all. You said Yan Xu'an would abandon me, didn't you?"

Xiao Rongce didn't speak, as if he had been stabbed into a scar deep in his heart. His face changed slightly, and guilt and self-blame were visible in his eyes, but Qin Shuangjiang didn't look at him. He only paused slightly and continued: "I choose him." , but I don’t care if he loves me or not, as long as he can give me what I want, I can keep my position in his heart.”

"If he doesn't abandon me, I will always be loyal to him. Living one day is a lifetime, and living two hundred years is a lifetime. It is no different from a person like me who is at the end of his life."
