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

The next day.

Qinghe, who had a sleepless night, got up before dawn.

She dreamed in the middle of the night that Lingling was trapped behind a rockery and couldn't get out, so she decided to go over and take a look today!

After arriving at the garden, she searched along the way in the dim morning light, calling Lingling's name softly as she searched.

When we got near the rockery, we heard a rustling sound...

Qing He walked over in surprise and saw that it was a gray rabbit that came from nowhere and was digging a hole. When it saw someone coming, it hopped away.

Greatly disappointed, Qing He continued to search along the trail, but still found nothing until dawn.

Feeling disheartened, she had no choice but to go back, and met Jingying and her servant halfway.

Bing Sui stepped forward and saluted Qing He: "Greetings, Madam Jiang!"

Jingying smiled sweetly and said, "What a coincidence, Qinghe, are you also coming to take a walk in the garden?"

Qing He was in no mood to pay attention to her and was about to walk away, but Jing Ying looked pitiful and said, "Qing He, are you still blaming me for what happened before? I just want to explain to you that I knew nothing about that incident. Who would risk their own life to frame others? Xue Hui made all the decisions herself. It has nothing to do with me. I was also innocently implicated!

Of course, I know that no matter what I say now, you won’t believe it, and I don’t expect your forgiveness, but my father has already sent Xuehui to the government office, and she deserves whatever punishment she receives! I just hope you don’t resent me, and after I pray for the concubine, I will move away and never disturb you and Mr. Jiang again…”

Bing Sui also interrupted and said, "Our princess wanted to invite the young lady to have tea and chat yesterday, but the young lady was not at home."

Seeing her sincere and pitiful look, Qing He said softly, "Since all this was done by Xue Hui alone and has nothing to do with you, I won't pursue it. What happened is over, take care of yourself, sister!"

Jingying smiled and nodded, "Yeah, Qinghe, you too! Why do you seem to be a little off today? Did something happen to you?"

Qing He was silent for a while, then said sadly, "The little deer that Mr. Jiang gave me is gone."

Jingying was surprised and asked, "Ah, did he get lost accidentally? Have you looked everywhere around here?"

Qing He shook her head and said sadly, "The Jiang Mansion is too big. I searched for it all day yesterday but couldn't find it... I wonder if it encountered any trouble..."

Jingying picked a rose and handed it to her, saying, "Don't worry, Lingling will find it sooner or later! Don't be too sad, just let nature take its course."

Qing He nodded with a haggard look on his face, not noticing anything wrong with her words, and turned around and walked silently towards the villa.

Jingying looked at her frail figure gradually going away, and suddenly a cold smile appeared on her face...

In Chuping Villa, the maids were about to go out to look for Qinghe, but they saw her coming back from outside looking depressed.

Xia Er hurriedly came forward and said, "Madam, where have you been? Young Master Nian is waiting for you to have dinner together!"

Qing He walked into the living room listlessly. Jiang Yaonian saw that her clothes were covered with dirt and moss, and her hair was soaked with dew. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "You went to the garden?"

Qing He said gloomily, "Well, I wanted to go and take a look. I dreamt at night that Ling Ling was stuck in a crevice and couldn't get out. She kept crying... So I went there before dawn in the morning."

Jiang Yaonian sighed and comforted her softly, "Let's eat first. After you finish eating, I'll go with you to look for it."

Qing He shook her head, "I can't eat anymore. Call me when you're done."

After saying that, he went back to the bedroom, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

……

Lingling was not found for several days.

Qinghe searched almost every place she could think of, but found nothing.

Seeing how sad she was all day, Jiang Yaonian planned to buy her another identical deer, but Qinghe refused.

She said sadly, "It's different. Even if I buy another Lingling, it won't come back. It will only make me sadder. I'd better not buy it."

Although he said this, Jiang Yaonian looked at her increasingly haggard appearance and still tried his best to find ways to make her happy, so he brought her to Shalin.

A headless camel was seen walking slowly not far away. Qing He was so frightened that she grabbed Jiang Yaonian's sleeve and exclaimed, "There's a ghost!"

Jiang Yaonian smiled calmly, "Wait a little longer."

Qing He asked in confusion, "What?"

Jiang Yaonian put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, "You'll know what's going on in a moment."

Qing He was very puzzled, so he could only stare ahead doubtfully. After a while, the camel suddenly turned around, which frightened Qing He so much that she was startled at first, and then she couldn't help laughing...

It turned out that the camel had a head, but it kept twisting its neck and licking its hind legs. From the opposite side, it looked like a headless ghost!

Jiang Yaonian introduced the dog with a smile: "It's called Guagua. It's very naughty and just walks around in the woods when it has nothing to do."

Qing He bent over and laughed for a long time before stopping, then turned around and hugged Jiang Yaonian, choking and saying, "Thank you!"

Jiang Yaonian also hugged her gently, kissed her hair, and comforted her: "If you have anything that makes you unhappy, you should speak it out. Otherwise, you will get sick if you keep it in your heart."

Qinghe's tears instantly flowed down.

She sobbed and cried, "I'm so sad... I dream about Lingling every night, and I don't know whether it is dead or alive..."

Jiang Yaonian whispered: "Well, I know!"

Qing He raised her tear-stained face and looked at him and asked, "How do you know? Did Ling Ling also appear in your dream?"

Jiang Yaonian gently wiped her tears and said softly, "No, I heard you talking in your sleep last night. You kept calling Lingling's name in your dream."

Qing He couldn't help crying again, choking up and saying, "Its new clothes will be ready soon... I was planning to change them in two days..."

Jiang Yaonian bowed his head and comforted her, "Let's go and light a river lantern for it tonight, hoping that it can be found soon."

Qing He nodded and said, "Well, pray that it doesn't suffer outside and comes back soon."

After dark, the two came to the bustling night market, bought a lotus lantern at a stall and carried it to the river.

Qing He gently placed the lit lotus lantern on the water, then closed her eyes and made a wish...

The lotus lanterns with flickering candlelight floated slowly on the water, drifting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared bit by bit into the dark night...
