The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

After leaving the villa, Jiang Yaonian came to the stable in a bad mood.

He walked straight up to a black horse with shiny fur. The black horse was very happy to see him coming. It kept snorting and sniffing his hand, while paddling the ground excitedly with its four hooves.

The groom Lao Li beside him said with a smile, "Yufeng hasn't seen you for a few days, and I'm getting anxious. Do you want to ride a few laps today?"

Jiang Yaonian stroked Yufeng's face and said, "Go get ready. I'm going to the enclosure to hunt today."

"Yes."

Lao Li turned and left.

Jiang Yaonian picked up an apple and fed it to Yufeng, watching it happily eat it. Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Cheng coldly and said, "You stay to look after the villa, and the others come with me!"

Zhao Cheng was stunned at first, then he lowered his head sadly and replied, "Yes."

Today he saw the young lady arguing with the young master and knew that the young master was in a bad mood.

Qian Yi draped a black cloak with dark patterns on Jiang Yaonian's shoulders. Sun Li stood by with a set of special bows and arrows. Li Zhi led out "Yufeng" and put on the saddle and stirrups.

After Jiang Yaonian got dressed and mounted his horse, he ordered Zhao Cheng in a cold tone: "Pay attention to patrol at night and protect the safety of the villa!"

"Yes!"

With the sound of horse hooves, Jiang Yaonian galloped away, followed by dozens of guards and followers, and the group quickly disappeared at the gate...

After dinner, Qinghe and her two siblings sat around the table chatting.

Yao Furong asked curiously, "Sister, I've always been curious about what gift the old prince gave you on the day you and your brother-in-law got married? How come our family has such a relative?"

Qing He was doing needlework seriously under the lamp, and said nonchalantly: "I haven't seen it yet. It may be some rare antique. Maybe the Jiang family saw that there were no elders in our family, so they specially told the old prince to say that."

Yao Furong frowned and said to herself, "It's so strange. You fainted from poisoning on the day of your wedding, your second sister is missing, and a prince came and said he was a relative of ours. There are so many strange things."

Yao Chengzu said, "I heard from the maidservants around my second sister that on the day of the wedding, my second sister sent them away and was alone in the room, and then it wasn't long before the tea was served."

Qing He thought for a moment and said, "There were many people talking that day, so maybe it wasn't her doing. She was afraid that people would suspect her afterwards, so she hid for a while. Maybe she wanted to wait until her mother was released from prison before speaking."

Yao Furong said angrily: "I hope so!"

Qing He saw her reaction so strongly but didn't take it to heart. She just thought she was still angry with Yao Bilian. The relationship between the two was not very good when they were at home. They quarreled a lot. Every time her mother would scold Furong, thinking she was naughty and causing trouble.

Yao Chengzu said: "Sister, my second sister and I would like to live here for a while recently. Is that okay? After you got married, the house feels a bit empty..."

Yao Furong also said, "That's right, big sister, now that you're not home, we don't want to stay there any longer. We'll go back after mom is released."

Qing He stopped sewing, looked at the siblings and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you can keep me company. I feel a little uncomfortable leaving you all of a sudden."

Yao Furong and Yao Chengzu were overjoyed after hearing this!

At the second watch, Qinghe asked the sister and brother to go back to bed. She took off her hairpins and rings, changed into pajamas, and went to bed to rest.

But after lying on the bed, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She just stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed, her mind empty.

At three o'clock in the morning, she could no longer lie there, so she got out of bed, put on her clothes, and walked towards the door.

Xia Er, who was napping outside, was awakened and asked hurriedly, "Is Madam going out?"

Qing He said, "I can't sleep, I want to go for a walk outside."

Xia Er sat up sleepily, rubbed her eyes and said, "Wait a moment, it's cold at night, I'll go get you a piece of clothing and go with you."

"No, I want to walk alone."

Xia'er hurried to the inner room to get clothes and chased out, but found that Qinghe was nowhere to be seen.

She searched everywhere in the yard without any result, then went to the duty room and asked the women on night watch if they had seen him.

"I saw it. The young lady went out alone just now."

When Xia'er heard this, she hurried out.

She looked around along the path. Although the moonlight was as bright as water, illuminating the houses and trees in the dark clearly, she did not see Qinghe along the way.

This made Xia Er extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to ask for help, so she had to leave the villa and look for someone nearby...

In front of the Zuihuajian pavilion, a slender figure stood alone by the lake, staring blankly at the lake.

The moon is very bright tonight, illuminating the flowers and plants clearly. A breeze blows, and the air is filled with the fragrance of jasmine.

Qinghe stood by the lake for a long time, thinking blankly.

She didn't know how to live in this family in the future, how to face Jiang Yaonian...

She was helpless and her whole family depended on him for protection. If she left him, she would be reduced to her original form and become a little village girl who made a living by embroidery.

It would be fine if that were the case, but I'm afraid he won't let her go. No, he definitely won't let her go. He is a domineering and dangerous man who will not allow himself to be abandoned by his wife!

But Qing He really didn't want to live this kind of life anymore. She wanted a gentle and upright husband, two people who treated each other equally, loving each other, without countless women coveting and provoking her, and without her husband threatening her with the safety of her family. However, these were all unattainable dreams for her now, and they could not be realized at all...

Qing He stared at the lake in a trance. There was a sparkling moon in the center of the lake. A fish jumped out of the water and fell down with a gentle "plop", breaking the tranquility of the lake.

After a long time, a cool night breeze blew over from the center of the lake, making her shiver involuntarily. Only then did she realize that her legs were a little sore after standing for such a long time.

Qinghe was about to go back to her room to sleep, but when she turned around, she unexpectedly saw a figure standing not far away, watching her silently!

Qing He was frightened and was about to shout when the man bowed and said, "I greet the young lady."

The voice sounded familiar. Qinghe tried to remain calm and took a closer look. It turned out to be Zhao Cheng!

She asked in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

"The young master asked me to stay and guard the house. I passed by here after patrolling at night and found that the young lady was admiring the moon. So I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her interest."

Qing He suddenly felt a little sad...

She recalled that when she secretly escaped from home in the middle of the night, it was also a moonlit night like this. After a series of twists and turns, she finally married Jiang Yaonian. Now when she met the man she once loved, although it was not long since they met, everything had changed...

Qing He felt mixed emotions in her heart, an indescribable feeling. She wanted to say something, but she felt that it was meaningless to say anything...

The night wind gradually became cooler, causing Qinghe's clothes to flutter slightly.

Zhao Cheng asked respectfully, "It's cold at night, Madam, would you like to go back to your room to rest?"

Qinghe shook her head.

The two of them stood by the lake for a whole night, one quietly looking at the moon reflected on the lake, the other quietly guarding the back of the person watching the moon...

It was not until the moon was at its highest point in the sky and Xia'er came over that Qinghe went back to the villa with her.

She tiptoed back to her room, only to feel so sleepy that she fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep...
