"Miss, are you all right?" A faint voice, with a trace of familiar worry, came from behind the rockery where she was hiding. However, this relationship was no different from arsenic poison to the current her.
"I'm fine!" Without looking at the person behind her, Yaoji stood up and staggered forward.
"Miss Yaoji …" Mu Yang was a little worried and pulled Yaoji. Seeing her flushed cheeks, he suddenly realized, "You … What's wrong with you? I'll ask someone to call a doctor. "
Yaoji, who was already swaying unsteadily, fell into Mu Yang's arms when Mu Yang pulled her. Yaoji only felt that her mind was in a mess. She grabbed Mu Yang's hand and gritted her teeth to maintain the last trace of consciousness, "It's too late … It's too late. I remember there's a pool in front. Throw me in! "
"But …" Mu Yang frowned. Although it was spring now, it was still the end of February. The pool was a little cold for men, not to mention women.
"It's okay. I can swim! Please … "
Mu Yang was also a son of an aristocratic family and had seen many private tricks. Seeing Yaoji so insistent, he nodded and said, "In that case, I'm sorry to offend you."
That day, Yaoji fell into the water and was saved by Marquis Muyang's son. She was sick for a month. But Yaoji also fell in love with that gentle and cheerful young man. He … not only helped her, but also saved her life.
In the following years, Yaoji's reputation grew. With the support of Young Master Feng San, Marquis Muyang's son and other sons of nobles in the capital, no one dared to make trouble in Qingcheng Lane. When Yaoji was 20 years old, she officially became the owner of Qingcheng Lane and no longer received guests. She only danced when the nobles in the capital or even the palace needed her to perform. The rest of the time, she sat alone on the second floor of Qingcheng Lane and looked at the bustling downstairs indifferently.
"Miss, Marquis Muyang is here." Outside the door, a maid reported in a low voice.
Yaoji turned around and said with a faint tiredness on her enchanting face, "Please go back, Marquis Muyang. I won't see any guests. "Seeing the maid leave with a little surprise, Yaoji smiled faintly. In the blink of an eye, they had known each other for almost ten years. Yaoji couldn't remember when they started dating. Her own Feng Zhiyao had once smiled and sighed, "Yaoji, falling in love with someone like Mu Yang, you're really asking for trouble. Whether it's sentiment or reason, you should also choose this young master."
At that time, Yaoji just smiled faintly. How could she not know that with Mu Yang's identity, there would be no connection between them at all? On the contrary, Feng Zhiyao, who was born a concubine of a rich family, would have less pressure. However, she had never felt her heart flutter in front of the handsome Young Master Feng San. Because she knew that Young Master Feng San already had someone in his heart. And Mu Yang … only had eyes for her.
However, such days couldn't last long. Although he had already passed his prime, he still refused to get married. However, two months ago, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure from the Mu family and got engaged to the young lady of the Sun family. After that, Yaoji was not surprised that Miss Sun, who was his fiancée, came to her.
Thinking of what Princess Ding said at the Fenghua Building yesterday, Yaoji smiled bitterly and a trace of determination flashed across her beautiful face. Even though she had only seen Ding Wang Fei twice, Yao Ji had to admit that no matter what, that wang fei was someone she envied. She had a noble background, a husband who could shelter her from the wind and rain wholeheartedly, an open-minded mind, and an ability and intelligence that were different from ordinary women.
She should let go when she wanted to … Perhaps, she really should leave …
Yaoji lowered her head and stroked her still flat belly with a faint smile. Princess Ding was right. As long as she wanted to live well, she could always live a good life. Moreover, she was not alone now.
"Yaoji!" There was a flurry of footsteps outside the door. Soon, Mu Yang appeared at the door and looked at her with an unsightly expression. The servants of Qingcheng Lane followed Mu Yang worriedly. Obviously, they didn't dare to stop the heir of Marquis Muyang's residence.
Yaoji waved her hand to let the servants leave. Looking at him, she smiled faintly and said, "What do you mean by this? Although Qingcheng Lane is a brothel, Yaoji hasn't received guests for many years. "
"Yaoji! Haven't you had enough? " What happened at the Fenghua Building yesterday made Mu Yang very unhappy. However, his years of relationship with Yaoji weren't fake, so he immediately came to Qingcheng Lane to find her as soon as he calmed down. He didn't expect to be refused at the door.
Yaoji sneered and said, "I've had enough. Please don't come to Qingcheng Lane in the future. Otherwise, you might run into Mrs. Sun and Miss Sun on the street. "
"What do you mean?" Mu Yang frowned.
Yaoji waved her hand and shook her head, "Nothing. Please go back. "
Looking at Yaoji's silent expression, Mu Yang sighed helplessly and said, "Yaoji, I'm doing this for our future. You know … Marquis Muyang's residence … It's impossible for me to marry you as my legal wife. Can't you suffer a little for my sake? " Yaoji looked at him calmly and said, "I'm not used to suffering, and you don't have to. I hope Your Highness can take into account our many years of friendship and let us part on good terms. "
"You …" Knowing Yaoji's temper, it was impossible to persuade her in a short time. Mu Yang could only sigh and said in a low voice, "I'll go back first. Think about it carefully."
Looking at his back, Yaoji suddenly said, "Mu Yang, after so many years … we've both changed. Don't come here in the future. " You're no longer the gentle and candid young man, and I'm no longer the young girl who only wanted love. We've both grown up and changed …
Mu Yang's body paused for a moment before he left silently.
"Miss …" Outside the door, the servant girl looked worriedly at Yaoji who was a little absent-minded. Yaoji came to herself and smiled faintly, "Pack up. I'm going out."
"Where are you going?"
"Prince Ding Mansion."
Coming out of the Prince Ding Mansion, Yaoji breathed a long sigh of relief. Selling Qingcheng Lane to Princess Ding, Yaoji didn't know if it was an impulse, but when she really did it, she didn't feel as reluctant as she imagined. With the money earned from these years and selling Qingcheng Lane, it was enough for her to live in luxury for the rest of her life. Finding a quiet place, giving birth to the child and raising it well, she might find a different happiness in her life. Wasn't this the peaceful life she had always hoped for?
"Miss, take care." The man who followed Yaoji out said in a deep voice.
The man's deep voice sounded very pleasant, but Yaoji was a little surprised that he would say goodbye to her. She had seen this man twice around Princess Ding. He wasn't an ordinary guard and seemed to have a high status. Shouldn't such a person be very disdainful to people like her? Or was it that the people around Princess Ding were really different?
"Thank you …" Yaoji choked. She didn't know this man's name. "Thank you, sir." In front of this silent man, Yaoji found that the social skills she had learned in Qingcheng Lane all these years seemed to be completely useless. She couldn't even put on a smile on her face, so she could only express her gratitude in an unembarrassed manner.
The man looked at her calmly and said: "I'm Qin Feng. Miss … your body isn't well. If you want to go on a long journey, you'd better wait for some time. "
Yaoji was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and said: "Thank you for reminding me, Commander Qin. I'll take my leave."
"I won't see you out." Qin Feng said indifferently.
Yaoji smiled faintly, then turned around and left in a natural and unrestrained manner. She naturally understood Qin Feng's reminder and concern. Her gloomy mood these days because of these things had improved a lot. If he could show some concern to a stranger he didn't know, there must be many good people in this world. After leaving Chu Jing, she might not be so sad. At least, from now on … she was no longer a dancer, but an ordinary person. This … was actually what she had wanted all along, wasn't it? When she sold Qingcheng Lane to Princess Ding, Princess Ding used Princess Ding's power to change her household register. Since then, the music register that she had been brooding about was no longer there. She, Yaoji … was just a single mother with a child.
