Chapter 227 [Fuyao 12]
"Sir, and lady, look at this wishing lantern with flying wings. It is the most popular item today. I see that you two are not married yet. I am not exaggerating, but every time a man and a woman come to me to buy a wishing lantern, they will be together successfully." said a vendor.
Youyou and Zong Yue felt helpless after hearing what was said. Youyou explained, "Boss, he and I are not a couple."
"Oh, I can't be wrong. Sir, have you bullied your wife? Otherwise, why would your wife not acknowledge you?" said the vendor.
"We are really not a couple." Youyou continued.
"I understand, I understand everything. This is the interest between you two." The vendor pretended to be profound.
"Boss, how much is this? I bought it. My wife is a little shy, so please be more tolerant of her. Now she has quarreled with me again today and refuses to acknowledge my identity in public." Zong Yue said pretending to be aggrieved.
"I say, girl, you can quarrel but you can't abandon your husband. Girl, follow me, just quarrel and make peace quickly. Look how good your husband is." The vendor continued.
Youyou suddenly felt like a blame had fallen from the sky. She had done nothing, but now she had a husband. This made her so angry that she was about to explain when she was pulled away by Zong Yue.
"What are you doing? What nonsense are you talking about with the boss? We are obviously not a couple, but you insist on telling others that I am your wife." Youyou asked.
"Since they have misunderstood, then so be it. They won't believe it even if I explain it to them." Zong Yue said indifferently.
"You are ruining my reputation." said Youyou.
"In that case, what do you think of me? Can I be your future husband?" Zong Yue said while looking at You You. After what the vendor said, Zong Yue also realized that he liked You You.
Youyou felt a little embarrassed being stared at and her face turned red. She immediately changed the subject and said, "I... let's... go over there and take a look." Then she left Zong Yue and ran over alone.
Zong Yue knew that Youyou was trying to change the subject and didn't want to face his words directly, but since he knew his feelings, he had plenty of time to put Youyou in his bowl. This little fox couldn't escape.
"Walk slower and wait for me." Zong Yue shouted.
On the other side, Changsun Wuji also came out to join in the fun. He saw Zong Yue and Qi Youyou standing together, talking and laughing. The more he watched, the more he felt that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
Changsun Wuji did not go forward to disturb the two people. Seeing this, Chang Feng asked, "Master, when you saw Master Zong Yue, why didn't you go up and say hello?"
"Don't you see that he is immersed in the company of a beautiful woman? If I go over there, wouldn't I ruin their date?" Changsun Wuji said.
"Master, are you saying that Master Zong Yue likes Miss Qi? That's unlikely." Chang Feng couldn't believe it, because normally the two of them were like enemies, but every time in the end Zong Yue would give in to Qi Youyou.
"Let's go, let's go back." Changsun Wuji said.
"Young Master, why don't we walk around for a while longer? Why are we going back so early?" Chang Feng asked.
"I still have things to deal with. If you want to go shopping, you don't have to accompany me." Changsun Wuji said.
"Forget it, I'll go back with you, Master." Chang Feng said.
"Okay." Changsun Wuji replied.
On the other side, Youyou suddenly saw a strange lantern and asked Zong Yue, "Zong Yue, this lantern is so strange."
Zong Yue also found it very strange, so he and Youyou followed the lanterns to a dilapidated mansion.
Zong Yue looked at the ruins in front of him and couldn't help but recall the time he spent here in his childhood.
Youyou saw the nostalgia in Zong Yue's eyes and held Zong Yue's hand, as if telling him that he still had me.
Zong Yue also sensed Youyou’s worry, smiled at Youyou, and then shook Youyou’s hand in return.
Zong Yue said, "Youyou, do you know that this used to be my ancestral home? I lived here when I was young, but now everything has changed and nothing can go back to the way it was."
"Zong Yue, although I don't know what happened, now that we are at the doorstep, why not go in and take a look." Youyou said.
"Okay." Zong Yue replied, then took Youyou's hand and went in.
Pushing open the door, Zong Yue and You You went in and saw Changsun Wuji standing in the middle of the yard.
"Why are you here?" Zong Yue asked.
Changsun Wuji originally thought that Zong Yue was the only one there, but he didn't expect that Zong Yue brought You You along as well. He also realized that Zong Yue didn't consider You You as an outsider.
Changsun Wuji said, "Zong Yue, are you going to just run away like this and leave the remains of your ancestors unattended? I have prepared everything for you inside. I hope you can pay tribute to your ancestors properly tonight."
Zong Yue was a little at a loss. He didn't want to remember those painful memories buried deep in his heart, so he had been avoiding them. Now, this scar was about to be uncovered again.
Youyou noticed Zong Yue's dilemma and said, "Zong Yue, since you are here, go and have a look. I think your relatives must miss you too. I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay." Zong Yue said, then took heavy steps, pushed open the door, and then closed it again.
Zong Yue looked at the rows of memorial tablets in the hall and knelt down.
"Father, mother, and ancestors, I am an unfilial son. I have lived in hiding for so many years and have never come to visit you. I didn't even have the chance to set up a mourning hall for you. In the past fifteen years, I have never forgotten the hatred of annihilating my family. Everyone thinks Xuanyuan Yue is dead, but I cannot die before I have avenged my hatred." Zong Yue said.
After fifteen years of painstakingly lying low, the time for revenge has now come. Zong Yue made a vow: I will definitely avenge myself to comfort the spirits of my ancestors in heaven.
Outside the door, Changsun Wuji looked at Youyou and said, "I didn't expect that Zong Yue would go to such lengths for you that he even brought you to the ancestral home."
"Aren't you the same? You force Zong Yue to remember things that he doesn't want to recall. As his best friend, aren't you also using him?" Youyou said sarcastically.
"So what? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. I am doing this for his own good. He has been pushing himself. Only by letting him vent all this can he truly unload the burden." Changsun Wuji said.
"So this is the purpose of bringing him to the ancestral home?" Youyou said.
"You can say that, but I am a little suspicious of your identity. As Qi Zhen's niece, you don't help Qi Zhen, but help outsiders to deal with him. I think your purpose is not simple." Changsun Wuji said.
"Don't interfere in my affairs. I won't harm Zong Yue anyway. Your Highness, please take care of yourself when you have time. Don't interfere in the affairs between Zong Yue and me. We should solve our own problems ourselves. And please don't take advantage of Zong Yue all the time, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Youyou said.
"It was you who caused Qi Zhen to look for Palace Master Feiyan last time, right? I really want to know what you did to make Palace Master Feiyan, who is obsessed with protecting his life, agree to refuse the deal with Qi Zhen." Changsun Wuji said.
"Your Highness, your joke is a bit too much. How could I know Palace Master Feiyan? How could a mere woman like me have such magical powers? It's really funny." Youyou said. Anyway, she just refused to admit it and there was no evidence to point to her.
"Whether you admit it or not, thank you for this anyway." Changsun Wuji said.
At this time, Zong Yue opened the door and saw Youyou and Zhangsun Wuji chatting enthusiastically. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, so he asked, "What are you talking about? Tell me too."
"Zong Yue, you're done." You You hurried forward and grabbed Zong Yue's arm.
"Yeah." Zong Yue said.
Changsun Wuji looked at the sweet atmosphere between the two and felt like he had eaten a meal of dog food, which was a bit choking.
"You guys continue. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Changsun Wuji quickly found an excuse and slipped away. He really couldn't stand seeing these two people being so affectionate with each other.
Youyou looked at Zhangsun Wuji's fleeing back and said in confusion, "What happened to him? We were chatting just now. Is someone chasing him? He's running so fast. We are not tigers, why would he run away when he sees us?"
Zong Yue saw what Changsun Wuji meant, that he disliked the two of them, so he said, "He's just in a hurry to go home for dinner, let's ignore him. Let's go, you've been walking around for so long, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"Okay, okay." Youyou said, and immediately forgot about Changsun Wuji.
In the eyes of foodies, rice is the most important thing, and everything else has to go aside.
