The dirty things of Zhang's family will be put aside for now. Xie Yan has a new development here.
A young man in a dark-colored robe leaned against the door frame, casting a glance inside at Xie Yan who was sitting in front.
"I found something here, I don't know if you want to hear it."
Xie Yun didn't go see him, but just said: "If you have something to say, then say it. Don't beat around the bush with me."
"I didn't find the person, but... I did discover a very interesting shop while strolling around yesterday." Cheng Ying narrowed her eyes and fiddled with the treasured sword in her hand.
Since that day, Xie Yun's heart has been uneasy after a quick glance at the Baifang Building. That woman was too similar to her! However, it was dark at night and he didn't have time to carefully identify her in the chaos of the moment.
"Oh? What's going on?" Listening to Cheng Ying, it seems like there's more to the story, and she must have some reliable information, so I couldn't help but tense up.
"Master, we've just arrived in Xinyang and are unfamiliar with the place. But you know what? There's actually a tailor shop here called Qingfeng Shop."
As soon as this was said, Xie Yun's eyes lit up. Cheng Yi Puzi, Qing Feng Puzi... Qin Jia... Qin Miao!
His hands trembled involuntarily as he thought of this. It must be!
Even if Pingyang and Hangzhou's Qin family industries have disappeared, it is guaranteed that she, Qin Miao, will not abandon her own signboard, and when she arrived in Xunyang, she still used the old name.
He suppressed his excitement and asked Cheng Ying again, "Have you gone to the shop to ask about it? What did you find out?"
"Not at all. I don't want to stir up trouble unnecessarily." Cheng Ying replied truthfully.
Fine, let's go and uncover this mystery ourselves, catch the person and interrogate them thoroughly.
After a sleepless night, Xie Yun stared at his dark eyelids and headed to the street where Cheng Ying had said she would be before dawn.
The morning fog had not yet dispersed, and the streets were dotted with farmers hurrying to market. Xie Yun hid in an alleyway across from Qingfeng Pu, gazing through the autumn mist at the three large characters on the wooden sign - Qingfeng Pu, waiting quietly.
It was not easy to wait until the sky brightened, and a thin layer of water vapor had risen on his forehead. Just then, a wooden board by the side of the shop was removed from inside, Xie Yan opened his eyes wide, but only saw a young man facing the street and yawning loudly, and then quickly removed the remaining door boards one by one.
It wasn't her... Xie Xun felt a little disappointed, but thinking about it for a year, Qin Miao was a woman and wouldn't be so reckless as to do such a lowly job. Maybe he had been too eager to see her, and had forgotten such an obvious truth.
He smiled wryly and continued staring at the shop which had already opened its doors.
The sky slowly cleared up, and the flow of people on the street gradually increased. Some people walked in and out of the alley, seeing Xie Yan lying motionless at the entrance of the alley with a rather suspicious appearance, they frequently furrowed their brows.
If someone who knew about it saw this scene, they would probably be deeply moved. The majestic First-Rank Military Marquis of the Xie Manor, actually doing something as sneaky as spying on people.
Xie Xun was completely unaware of his own awkwardness, tightly clinging to the wall and looking around at the opposite side.
People in the shop came and went, men and women, an hour passed, still didn't see the person he wanted to see. Probably too nervous, too expected, now his hands were clenched a bit sore.
Isn't this gentle breeze the same as that gentle breeze? Xie Yan was silently drumming in her heart. But inexplicably, she still felt like waiting a little longer.
Snap!
Xie Xuan was polishing the jade, when he suddenly heard a strange noise. Out of habit, he turned his head and saw a few steps away from himself, a white thing with red oil and steam rising from it.
He habitually looked around and saw a figure rushing forward in the distance. He had been in the military for many years, known as "Eagle Eye", and at a glance, he could tell it was a woman.
Really?!?!
He didn't have time to think carefully and didn't dare to let go of any suspicion in his heart, so he took a step forward and rushed towards the flying horse. The woman seemed to be running for her life, extremely fast, and with the alleys being complex and winding, she disappeared from view after just one turn.
So desperate to escape, who else could it be but Qin Miao! At this point, Xie Lin was even more certain of his thoughts. Without saying another word, he lightly stepped on the wall and jumped up. From high above, the view was wide and clear, and in a flash, he could see the movements in the alleys below. Soon, he found the woman's position and swooped down like an eagle to intercept her from the front.
"Uh..." Qin Miao, who was running wildly in front of him, didn't expect a huge object to suddenly fall from the sky, and he couldn't brake in time before crashing into it.
The object seemed to have grown hands and feet, following her direction of force for a few steps before finally stopping.
"Still running, huh?"
Boom! A familiar male voice exploded in her ears, Qin Miao's whole body shook, like a deflated balloon that had completely gone limp. Because she had just run recklessly, her cheeks were thoroughly flushed, and she was panting heavily with big mouthfuls of air. Also because she had been caught by someone, her heart was full of anxiety and grievance, and her nose suddenly became sour.
Xie Xuan looked at the girl in his arms, who was flushed and disheveled, her breathing irregular. He felt extremely pleased with himself. Finally caught you, now let's see where you can run to.
The next second, he was somewhat powerless to defend himself. Because... Qin Miao suddenly burst into loud wailing!
Wow wow wow! Qin Miao felt very wronged in her heart, it was a kind of self-satisfied and complacent feeling that she thought she had hidden well, but was ruthlessly exposed by others. She was very unhappy and unwilling to accept it!
Wow wow wow!
The person in his arms cried loudly and without restraint, completely lacking in elegance. What's more, he even treated his clothes as worthless, wiping his nose and tears all over them.
He's dead... If it were the usual proud and arrogant Marquis Hou, he would have ruthlessly abandoned such a dirty ghost to the ends of the earth. But now, the current Marquis Hou has changed his ways, and can tolerate anything as long as Qin Miao is by his side. So, no matter how good or bad, he could only helplessly accept it.
Qin Anuan had just finished eating Lin Da Shu's rice noodles and was full of energy. But then, she burst into tears that lasted for a whole incense stick time. The sound of her crying was so pitiful that it attracted the attention of passersby in the alley, who couldn't help but glance at Xie Yan.
What can be done, Xie Xuan was originally taciturn and didn't want to make too many explanations. He could only helplessly pat Qin Miao's back, comforting her like a small cat or dog, letting her cry her fill before speaking again.
"Have you cried enough? Hmm?" Xie Yun lowered his head to look, the kitten's eyes were red and swollen, its mouth constantly hiccuping, but it didn't even look at him!
Xie Houye showed some dissatisfaction, he freed one hand, lifted Qin Miao's chin, and made her raise her head to look at him, wanting to find his own existence in those wet eyes at this moment of reunion.
After all, he thought of her so much and missed her, it must be that he had loved his own Anuan like this before, also thinking of her.
He carefully distinguished the emotions in Qin Miao's eyes, some small anger and surprise, but more was a sense of grievance. Only one thing he didn't see was a hint of love and joy.
He dryly made a sound, calling out to her: "Anuan?" Wanting to see if there was still himself in her eyes, but the next moment the person in his arms struggled free and once again left his embrace. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab, but the person had already cleverly retreated several steps back.
Qin Miao cried for a while and then calmed down, standing a few steps away without running away, and said coolly, "Still found by you."
She had just seen Xie Yan looking around at the entrance of the alley, his anxious and expectant expression subtly visible in his eyes. However, she was still startled, instinctively choosing to escape. But the moment she was caught, a wave of helplessness flashed through her body, with a desire to struggle free but ultimately unable to shake off the feeling. That sense of despair and oppression made her suddenly collapse.
"Anu, I've been looking for you for a long time. Why did you leave back then?" Xie Yan had a lot to say in her heart, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't say anything.
"No need for what? Besides, I've already said what needed to be said in the letter. Haven't you read it?"
As soon as he mentioned that letter, Xie Yun burst into flames. Not for anything else, but because of that inexplicable divorce paper.
"I've thought about it, and I feel uneasy too. So I'm even more worried about you. It was all my fault before, and I regret it. Can't we just put the past behind us and go back together?"
Go back?
Qin Miao smiled and shook her head, then turned around and walked deeper into the alley.
