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

In the middle of the night, Qinghe was concentrating on painting a picture under the lamp.

Suddenly, she heard a faint noise coming from outside. After listening carefully, she found that it sounded like someone crying softly!

Qinghe became alert at once. She put down the paintbrush in her hand and gently blew out the candle. The room immediately fell into darkness.

She walked quickly to the bedside, took out a dagger from under the pillow and quietly put it into her sleeve, then tiptoed to the door and listened attentively to the sounds outside...

Qing He learned from her mistakes. Since her last encounter with a bad guy, she has developed the habit of putting a sharp knife under her pillow at night.

Not only that, even when she visits customers' homes, she always carries small items for self-defense.

These preventive measures gave the frightened Qinghe a great sense of security, preventing her from falling into panic when she was alone.

The crying sound outside was intermittent, and after a while it started again, and it seemed to be slowly coming towards her house.

Qing He held his breath quietly, secretly touched the dagger in his sleeve, then picked up an iron hammer behind the door and held it in his hand.

This iron mallet was used by maids when washing clothes. Qinghe asked for it and kept it in the house to use as a self-defense stick.

In addition, she also set up many traps in the house, such as lime powder for blinding the eyes, a copper basin that can be used as a gong, a thin silk rope that can be used as a tripwire, and a golden falcon that has been trained to peck out people's eyes.

My younger brother bought it specially for Qinghe. It is usually kept in the yard during the day and brought to Qinghe's room at night. If any outsider breaks in, it can kill him with one blow and peck out his eyes. It almost never fails!

The seller once demonstrated it to Yao Chengzu in person. He let go of a rabbit, then raised his arm, and a golden falcon swooped over quickly and blinded one of the rabbit's eyes in one go!

If another bad guy came to pry her door bolt in the middle of the night like last time, Qinghe vowed to make him pay the price.

Just when she tensed her nerves and made all preparations, the intermittent crying voice came from far away and came to Qinghe's room, and a voice softly called out outside the door: Big sister.

The word "big sister" instantly relaxed Qinghe's tense nerves. She let out a long breath, put down the hammer in her hand, pushed open the bolt, and found that it was Yao Furong standing outside!

"Rong'er, it's you. You scared me! What are you still doing outside? Come in quickly."

Qing He let Yao Furong in, and then asked her in a funny and angry tone, "Why are you wandering around the yard in the middle of the night?"

Yao Furong was silent, with tears on her face.

Qing He stared at her and asked in surprise: "Rong Er, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Yao Furong said softly: "Sister, can you do me a favor?"

Qing He smiled gently and said, "Of course, what favor can you give me?"

Yao Furong was silent for a while, then stood up and slowly knelt down to Qinghe...

Qing He was startled, and hurriedly helped her up, and asked in confusion: "Just tell me what you want to say, why are you kneeling down?"

Yao Furong raised her tear-stained face, looked at Qinghe pitifully, and said, "Sister, can you go and beg Mr. Jiang to let mother out?"

After Qing He heard what Yao Furong said, the smile on her face gradually disappeared...

After a moment of silence, she asked calmly, "Rong'er, do you also think that my elder sister is heartless and ungrateful?"

Yao Furong shook her head and said, "No! Big sister, I know that I have let you down in many ways! But can you please, for the sake of me and Chengzu, ask Master Jiang to save me... Big sister, I beg you!"

……

Jiang Mansion.

In the study, Jiang Yaonian was handling official business when the guard came in and reported: "Sir, Miss Yao is outside the mansion gate asking to see you."

Jiang Yaonian raised his head when he heard this, "You want to see me?"

"Yes, Miss Yao is waiting outside the mansion now."

Jiang Yaonian's face suddenly showed a faint smile, and he said to the guard: "Bring her in, and wait for me at Lin Wanting first."

"Yes."

The guard turned and went out.

After half a cup of tea, Qinghe, led by guards and four maids, crossed the bridge and entered the garden.

After passing through the Moon Cave Gate, there is a stone path lined with green bamboos. Walking along the stone path, you will come to an open lawn. At the end of the lawn is a high platform. The Linwan Pavilion is built on the high platform.

Several people climbed up the stairs and came to the pavilion. The guard said respectfully: "Miss Yao, please wait a moment. Mr. Jiang is handling official business and will be here soon."

After saying that, she left with the maids, leaving Qinghe alone in the pavilion.

The breeze blows gently, making me feel relaxed and happy.

Qinghe walked to the railing and looked out, and found a lush maple forest to the west.

It is early summer now, and the maple forest is still emerald green. If it were late autumn, one can imagine that it would be covered with intoxicating red leaves.

If you climb up to enjoy it at dusk, the maple leaves in the distance and the sunset glow in the sky will interweave and set off each other, what a magnificent view it would be...

Right between the pavilion and the maple forest is a lake with rippling water. Qinghe feels that the scenery before her is enough to embroider a gauze screen!

The poem I use is Jiang Jie's "Youth Travel·Maple Forest Red": The maple forest is red and the evening smoke is green, and the guest is full of thoughts. In the past 20 years, I have no home to grow bamboo, but I still use bamboo as my name. The spring breeze has not yet ended, and the autumn breeze has arrived. I am old and have nothing to do with anything. I just spend my life chanting and composing songs.

The charming scenery made Qinghe forget her worries for a while. The sadness, resistance and anxiety she had felt while waiting outside the door just now disappeared in an instant!

After all, it is difficult to ask for help, but I have to come.

If I hadn't agreed to Furong's request last night, I'm afraid she would have really knelt down and begged...

Qinghe felt that she was much colder and harder-hearted than her.

After all, they are young.

When she saw her mother being arrested by the government, she panicked. It was unlike her to be so heartless.

Although Li had not treated Qinghe very well in the past, after what happened that night, Qinghe suddenly felt as if she had never known her, and even Bilian seemed very strange to her!

She would never forget the dirty water they threw at her, nor did she intend to forgive them, but Furong and Chengzu were different.

Although these two younger brothers and sisters are young, they are very smart and righteous. If Chengzu had not chased away the bad guys that night, I would probably have met with an accident.

So even though she was reluctant, Qinghe still decided to come to the Jiang Mansion.

When the guard went in to pass on the message, she was waiting at the door with a tormented and conflicted heart. She hoped that Jiang Yaonian would reject the matter outright, but she also hoped that he could help rescue Li...

This feeling of anxiety and fear gradually disappeared after arriving at the pavilion. Qinghe began to concentrate on thinking about how to make the scenery in front of her appear intact on the gauze screen.

After Jiang Yaonian finished dealing with the matters at hand, he told the guards not to follow him and left the study alone.

Not long after walking out, he saw the maid Xing'er coming towards him.

Xing'er came up to Jiang Yaonian and said, "Mr. Jiang, Princess Jingying is here and is chatting with the old lady. She asked you to come over now."
