Chapter 294 Chen Che Memories
Chapter 294 Chen Che Memories
"it is good."
Qingyin actually didn't expect that the man would talk to her so seriously, but since he made his attitude clear to her, she just kept it to herself.
When Qingyin woke up the next day, she heard the maid in the yard saying that the young master of General Zhou's mansion was kneeling at the gate and apologizing for some unknown reason, carrying a basket of brambles.
Qingyin raised her eyebrows. Duan Heng didn't tell her about this this morning.
Qingyin thought about it, walked behind the two maids in the yard, and coughed lightly.
"Ah, Miss Lin."
The two maids who heard the sound turned around and knelt down.
In the palace, the prince had instructed that Miss Lin should be treated as he was to the prince, which shows how important Miss Lin is, not to mention that Miss Lin has a face like that.
Thinking about the stunning scene they saw last time, the two maids spoke even softer.
Qing Yin looked at their nervous expressions and softened her tone slightly: "I'm fine, but I just heard you talking about General Zhou's son. I'm a little curious. Can you tell me about it?"
Looking at the gentle and beautiful Miss Lin, the two maids also relaxed, and thought of what happened just now. The mansion did not say that they would keep the matter of Young Master Zhou secret from Miss Lin, so they could tell her. Thinking of this, the two maids looked at each other, and one of the more clever girls stepped forward and said:
"Miss Lin, you don't know that the Zhou family's ancestors started with General Zhou Huai'en, who followed the late emperor to fight in the war. The current General Zhou Chenliang is the son of General Zhou Huai'en. General Zhou Chenliang inherited General Zhou Huai'en's talent for fighting and is still highly valued by His Majesty. The young master who came today is General Zhou Chenliang's youngest son and the second son. Young Master Zhou Shiwei has an older son and several concubine sisters, and no others. General Zhou had a son in his old age, and he doted on Young Master Zhou Shiwei, so he is more willful. I don't know why this young master came to our house today with a basket of brambles on his back."
"Miss Lin, don't worry. If someone dares to bully Miss Lin, just tell the prince. The prince will definitely protect Miss Lin."
The little maid who was speaking didn't know at the moment that Zhou Shiwei's sudden visit was because of Qingyin. She looked at Qingyin with indignation, as if she had seen the person who bullied Qingyin and wanted to beat him to death.
Qingyin smiled gently, "You are really cute. How could anyone bully me in the palace?"
When the beauty smiled, the gray sky seemed to brighten a little.
The little maids were stunned by Qingyin's laughter, and they foolishly followed Qingyin and raised the corners of their mouths.
Qingyin, who got the news, talked to the two maids and planned to go find Jiang Lingya to play.
These days, no one knew what Duan Heng was busy with. He went out early and came back late all day long. After the store was repaired, Lin Dahua and Lin Anxi continued to develop their own businesses, preparing to make money to support their sister.
Qingyin thought that there was only one Jiang Lingya in the whole mansion who could play with her.
Qingyin was walking on the road, humming an unknown ballad as she headed towards Jiang Lingya's yard, her eyes briefly glancing at the figure hiding in the tree in the dark.
The timid secret guard would only peek at her when she wasn't paying attention.
On the cypress tree, Chen Che held onto the tree in a strange posture. The girl's casual glance just now seemed to still linger on him, causing him to feel numb.
Chen Che suddenly remembered the day when he first met Qing Yin. The girl leaned on her usually indifferent master, smiling like a flower, bright and charming.
The master also changed his indifferent expression and gently wiped the girl's mouth.
Like a couple who are in love with each other.
His happiness was blinding, and he coveted his master's happiness and the girl like a rat in a gutter.
I thought I would never be able to get close to that girl in my lifetime, but...
"Chen Che, you are the best in martial arts. From now on, you should stay by Ah Hua's side and protect her well. You should protect her even if it means death. Can you do it?"
Can it be done? Why can't it be done?
For the mouse trapped at the bottom of the well, having the opportunity to see the bright moon in the sky is already the greatest happiness. If it is only at the cost of his life, then his life would have already belonged to the bright moon in the sky.

Qingyin was thinking about Jiang Lingya, and Jiang Lingya was also thinking about Qingyin.
Thinking of Qingyin's performance, Qingyin met Jiang Lingya who was about to look for her halfway.
"Sister Hua!"
Jiang Lingya's eyes lit up when she saw the familiar beautiful woman.
"I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect my sister to come over."
Qing Yin curled her lips slightly and blinked her eyes: "It seems that my sister and I are in tune with each other."
"You! You can only say this in front of me. If the Fourth Prince hears it, he will probably cut off some pieces of my flesh." Jiang Lingya tapped Qingyin's nose and said with a smile.
"Come on, sister will take you to look at the beautiful clothes in the capital today."
"Okay."
……
royal palace,
"I heard that the Fourth Prince fell in love with the woman who saved him?"
At the top, a figure who looked majestic without being angry sat upright, and his voice did not reveal whether he was happy or angry.
"I don't know, but the Fourth Prince does have a different attitude towards Miss Lin and values her very much."
The chief eunuch spoke respectfully and impartially.
"Ask someone to bring the person over to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
"Yes."
The chief eunuch understood that His Majesty wanted the Fourth Prince to bring the person to the palace to meet him so that he could personally see the Fourth Prince's attitude towards the person.
He couldn't tell whether this was a good or bad thing, but it was his majesty's order after all, so he just had to obey.
The rest is not his concern.
Emperor Yongqing was flipping through the memorials in his hand, but he was thinking carefully about the current situation.
The crown prince has been deposed. The third brother is impatient and can fight a war but not be an emperor. The fifth brother is too soft and cannot control his subjects. The sixth brother has a heavy background and his maternal relatives dominate the country. The eldest and seventh brothers fight too fiercely and have too vicious minds. After careful consideration, the fourth brother is his most favored candidate.
His temperament was enough to suppress the court officials, and he was not that vicious. Moreover, this fact of his background was not that important in the business and capabilities of his subordinates.
However, this well-crafted sharp knife seemed to have a weakness.
He won't allow this kind of situation to happen, so, Lao Si, don't let him down.
The handsome and majestic face of Emperor Yongqing flickered in the dim candlelight.

General Zhou’s Mansion.
Zhou Chengyan looked at his younger brother who was holding a book in the room and was as restless as if he had fleas on his body. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the book in his hand hit his younger brother's head accurately.
"Read books at home."
"You are really brave this time. You dared to provoke the Fourth Prince's savior. Fortunately, Miss Lin doesn't have any ill will towards you. Otherwise, you can just wait for your father to come back and beat you."
Zhou Shiwei touched his nose, thinking back to his father's palm which was bigger than a palm leaf fan, and his back was aching slightly.
Zhou Shiwei, who was so obsessed with saving face that he suffered in vain, retorted stubbornly: "Anyway, he doesn't care about me, his youngest son. He keeps praising his elder brother every day. Let him beat me to death."
"Zhou Shiwei!"
The man's tough and handsome face sank, and his aura was intimidating without even being angry.
Knowing that his words had angered his eldest brother, Zhou Shiwei's courage wilted as if it had been punctured.
"I was wrong." Zhou Shiwei lowered his handsome face bitterly. He was no longer as unruly as usual, but looked a little pitiful.
Zhou Chengyan felt a little distressed, but he knew that this time it was entirely Zhou Shiwei's fault, and also his fault. He had spoiled this kid and made him lawless and bullying others. This time, he dared to bully people even though the Fourth Prince was protecting him. What about those people without any background next time? Would he allow this kid to bully them?
Zhou Chengyan is not a person with supreme moral sense, but he is not a nobleman who condones people bullying the weak. His Majesty is wary of his Zhou family because of their military power, and they are already on the verge of a dangerous situation. However, this kid Zhou Shiwei has not yet realized his own situation and is still causing trouble everywhere. Sooner or later, the fire will burn from him to their entire Zhou family.
Thinking of this, the tough and handsome Zhou Chengyan finally hardened his heart and decided to temper his younger brother's temper.
"This month, Zhou Shiwei's share will be confiscated, Xiao Anzi."
"exist."
"Keep an eye on your young master. If anyone lets your young master go, I will personally break the legs of that person."
Xiao Anzi said tremblingly: "Yes."
The frightened little Anzi looked at his master pleadingly.
The meaning in his eyes was very clear, he was asking his master to be more obedient and stay in the mansion.
Zhou Shiwei was unhappy. What his elder brother said was not to Xiao Anzi, but to him. Seeing Xiao Anzi trembling, it didn't mean he really didn't care about this little servant. Could he really watch his elder brother break his legs?
Zhou Shiwei glared at Xiao Anzi, who was holding him back.
Xiao Anzi felt a little relieved when he saw the look in his young master's eyes.
He understood what his young master was thinking, and since he had agreed, he would not go back on his word.
Zhou Chengyan ignored the little actions of the master and servant.
He doesn't care about the process, as long as the result is good.
Zhou Shiwei, who was forcibly detained in Zhou Mansion, had to think about Qingyin in his heart every day.
……
Qingyin "happened" to meet the fifth princess when she was shopping with Jiang Lingya. The three of them went shopping together and with Qingyin's matchmaking, the process was quite pleasant.
On the way, they happened to run into a human trafficker. Seeing that the guys were in good shape, he wanted to kidnap them, but Chen Che silently dragged him into an alley and dealt with him.
Duan Heng, who was also dealing with the events of his previous disappearance, heard the news and felt even colder. Without waiting for the imperial physician to remove the acupuncture needles from his body, he took them off himself and strode out.
When the palace steward hurried to the door, he only saw a figure hurriedly falling off the horse.
"Where's Ah Hua?"
"Miss Lin is in the garden, and..."
"The fifth princess is here too." Looking at the back of his master who had already walked away, the butler silently uttered the last few words.
If someone had told him in the past that his master, who was always calm and capable of making plans, would be so gentle, he would definitely not have believed it.
But now, Butler Wang calmly straightened the few strands of hair that were scattered by the wind brought by his master.
After seeing Miss Lin's beauty, Butler Wang is no longer the same Butler Wang as before.
……
Qingyin didn't understand why the two girls with good personalities had to fight like cross-eyed people.
For example, now, Qingyin was sitting in a recliner, looking at the plates of fruit brought over from both sides with complicated eyes.
Jiang Lingya raised the plate in her hand provocatively and said to Duan Qinxue boastfully, "Sister Hua, eat mine first. I've tasted these grapes and they're very sweet."
Duan Qinxue was angry, but she was not to be outdone and placed the orange flesh that she had cut into different sizes in front of Qingyin.
"Sister Hua, oranges can reduce internal heat. The weather is hot now, so they can help reduce heat and internal heat."
"She peeled the grapes so hard that they were full of holes. They looked so ugly. They can't go into Sister Hua's mouth."
Jiang Lingya glared at him. She stared carefully at the orange flesh that Duan Qinxue had cut. "You cut it ugly. It's so big and small. It's disgusting just looking at it."
"Jiang Lingya!" Duan Qinxue was so angry that she was numb.
Damn it, this damn woman. I used to snatch Fourth Brother from her, and now I’m snatching my best friend from her!
Jiang Lingya scratched her ears and said, "What's going on? The little princess is angry again."
……
Looking at Duan Qinxue who was almost shaking with anger below, Qingyin took the opportunity to intervene, "Okay, okay, the Fifth Princess and Sister Jiang are both very good. I like these oranges and grapes. Come, let me try them."
The price of fairness was that Qingyin's belly was bloated as she ate the oranges and grapes that Jiang Lingya and Duan Qinxue had cut and peeled.
When Qingyin saw the two of them still competing in peeling grapes and oranges, her face darkened. She felt that she would never want to eat these two fruits again for a while.
When Qingyin saw Duan Heng rushing over, she stared at him with almost scorching eyes.
Duan Heng blushed silently as it was rare to see Qingyin so enthusiastic, and walked to Qingyin's side.
"Ahua."
The man's voice interrupted the two women's argument.
Duan Qinxue, who was peeling an orange, looked at the person who came and silently shrank her own shadow, pretending that she was a non-existent wooden man.
As for Jiang Lingya, since she had seen through life, she rolled her eyes at the extremely possessive Duan Heng. She must have been stupid in the past to have liked such a cold, hard and petty man.
Oh, I really regret it.
Duan Qinxue, who was hiding from Duan Heng, happened to see Jiang Lingya glaring at the fourth brother. Oh my god, she is indeed the woman she hates. She is so bold that she even dares to glare at her fourth brother.
Duan Qinxue silently thought that it was only just barely enough for this woman to compete with her for Qing Yin.
"Fourth brother." Although Duan Qinxue really wanted to pretend that she was an invisible person, she still had to say hello first when visiting someone else's house.
"Yeah." Duan Heng casually responded to his fifth sister who was like a quail.
His mind was completely on Qingyin at the moment.
The anxiety on the road, the fear that Qingyin would be with the human trafficker, was also dispelled by the lazy posture of the girl in front of him.
With Jiang Lingya and Duan Qinxue being so active, it seems that the girl was not frightened at all.
The expression on Duan Heng's face softened.
"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had the time to accompany you to play in the capital. Ah Hua, how about you go on a boat trip with me tomorrow?"
Qing Yin looked up in surprise, "But aren't you very busy?"
"I still have time to play with you for a while."
Duan Heng smiled gently, and his clingy attitude made Duan Qinxue, who was peeping secretly, accidentally meet Jiang Lingya's eyes.
I've confirmed through eye contact that the scheming in love and the old man are really disgusting.
