C178

Spring's stream flows through the green grass like a thick bed of green onions. It meandered in a beautiful arc around the pear tree, and the sound of flowing water was like the innocent laughter of a young girl, so light, so clear, and so fragile.

Shang Yiqing was depressed as she sat by the stream. She used her delicate hands to sweep the water away and threw it away. She then sat up straight and hugged her knees.

She had already been home for a few days. She was angry but didn't expect Fang Zinan to not only didn't come find her but didn't even give her any news. This really made her sad. Did he let her go just like that? Fang Zinan must be very happy right now because without her, he would be with Ying Ying again. Just the thought of it was hateful!

Shang Yiqing shook her head, seeing that it was getting late, stood up and prepared to go home.

They were still quite a distance from the city when Shang Yiqing arrived. She was ready to ride her horse back to the house. She led the horse and followed the stream until she saw Xiao Tian Yuan coming towards them.

"Big Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

"I came to your house just now to ask around. I knew you were coming this way, so I came here to see if you were here. Sure enough, I met you here." Xiao Tianyuan's cold face revealed a smile.

In the past, she had always been very happy to see Xiao Tian Yuan, but today she was not in the mood. Shang Yiqing sighed angrily, "Why are you looking for me?" I'm fine now. "

"Stop trying to be brave, I can see that you are unhappy. Is he still angry at the King Qinguang? "

Of course, Shang Yiqing didn't want people to see through her. "I don't have it, and it's not worth getting angry at people like him. He likes your sister, so I'll leave. Why bother with him?" After leaving his world, my life will be carefree! "

"The reason I called you here today is to explain things to you." Xiao Tianyuan continued very quickly, "Actually, Prince Rong only stepped forward that day to help Ying Ying. It was because King Xuan was pestering Ying Ying that he stood up for her."

Shang Yiqing asked disdainfully, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with you." Xiao Tianyuan looked at her. "I know that Prince Rong actually likes you."

"I don't believe it!" She was actually a bit happy to hear that, but Shang Yiqing was still trying to be brave.

Xiao Tianyuan sighed, "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. In any case, this is the truth."

"Whatever you want to say is your business." Although she really wanted to know about Fang Zinan, she hadn't seen him come looking for her for so many days, and she was very disappointed in him. Shang Yiqing looked at the stream and smiled sweetly, "Brother Xiao, is this the reason you have come to find me?"

"Of course it's for that."

Shang Yiqing waved his hand and said impatiently, "I don't want to continue this topic anymore. Since you've come to find me, why don't you treat me to a drink? "

"You want me to buy you a drink?" Xiao Tianyuan had not expected Shang Yiqing to make such a request.

"Why aren't you willing to treat me to a drink?"

Xiao Tianyuan laughed. "Alright, let's buy you a drink then. I can also be considered as apologizing to you on behalf of Ying Ying."

"That's what you said, you're not allowed to go back on your words!" Shang Yiqing also laughed.

The two of them came to 'Missing a bowl'.

There was a waterfall in front of them, and the sound of flowing water could be heard. The water splashed onto their bodies like mist, and Shang Yiqing and Xiao Tianyuan set up a table in the open area in front of the cliff that did not block the wind nor block the rain nor block the mist.

"I'll apologize on behalf of Ying Ying for what happened that day." "Come, let me do it as a form of respect." Xiao Tianyuan raised a jar of wine as he spoke with pride.

"I don't want to talk about what happened that day. I just want to drink." Shang Yiqing picked up the wine jar. Raising her neck, her slender, snow-white neck appeared extremely fine and beautiful. Then, she finished the entire jar of wine in one go.

After drinking the strong wine, she even poured the last few drops of wine from the jar into her mouth, licked her lips, and smiled. Her smile was like a flower, and her eyes were shining.

Xiao Tian Yuan's jaw dropped as he did not expect Shang Yiqing to be able to drink an entire jar of wine.

Shang Yiqing wiped away the wine with her delicate hand and asked, "You have wine on your hand, why don't you drink it?"

Xiao Tianyuan turned the jar upside down. "Look …" Not a drop of wine fell from the jar.

"Big Brother Xiao, you're a straightforward person, I like drinking with you."

"But you know that the reason I came today was to advise you to return to the Rong King's Estate." Xiao Tianyuan grasped the opportunity.

Shang Yiqing shook her head, "I'm not going back. No matter what, I won't forgive him. It's always a misunderstanding, isn't it too strange?"

Xiao Tianyuan sighed as he decided to use a kind tone to panic. "You don't know, but Prince Rong's been poisoned for the past few days …"

"What?" Shang Yiqing panicked and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"When he saved Ying Ying that day, he was poisoned. He didn't come looking for you for the past few days. Actually, it was because of the poison. If it wasn't for that, he would have gone back to look for you long ago …" Xiao Tianyuan said half-truthfully but in his heart, he was also curious why Fang Zinan didn't come to find Shang Yiqing.

Shang Yiqing lowered his head, thought for a while and raised it again, "Even if he was poisoned, I can't go back. I've already said it before, in the future, I'll cut off all ties with him. "

"Why are you so stubborn? I can see that you have feelings for Prince Rong …"

Shang Yiqing interrupted Xiao Tianyuan's words and pushed the wine jar forward, waving her hand, "Brother Xiao, don't say anymore. Let's drink." As he spoke, he began to work first.

Seeing that Shang Yiqing was adamant on not continuing on this topic, Xiao Tianyuan forced a smile and continued drinking.

The two of them drank until the sky darkened and the sun set before returning home.

"I'll send you back to the Rong King's Manor." Xiao Tianyuan supported the drunk Shang Yiqing, still trying to arrange the match.

"I won't go back. If you really want to send me back home, then so be it." Shang Yiqing was stubborn as well.

Xiao Tianyuan knew he couldn't persuade her, so he could only send her to the merchant house.

Passing through the main street in front of him was the merchant house.

The moon hung in the sky like a hook.

"Big Brother Xiao, there's no need to send me off. I'm almost home." He lifted his drunken eyes. Shang Yiqing still remembered the way home.

"No, I must send you back." Seeing that Shang Yiqing was so drunk that her steps were weak, if he didn't send her back home, she wouldn't have been able to rest at ease.

He turned the corner of the street and saw a man standing under a willow tree. Under the moonlight, he was dressed in snow-white clothes.

Why did this person look so familiar? Although she was so drunk that she could barely see anything, Shang Yiqing still felt that this person looked very familiar. When she got closer, she suddenly heard Xiao Tianyuan ask, "Prince Rong, why are you here?"
