On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled

Chapter 232: The City Lord's Past, Childhood Sweetheart

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Sister Princess is joking. Get up quickly. It's okay. I like this mask very much."

However, she would look at the mayor from time to time.

Hmm, I feel like I've seen it somewhere.

The mayor nodded, and Jintong and Hongtong breathed a sigh of relief. They lowered their heads and retreated one after another. Jintong touched his neck and said, "Oh, I almost died. I will never act on my own again."

The mayor picked up the tea, then put it down awkwardly.

Qingcheng asked: "Have we met before?"

The mayor touched the edge of the porcelain cup, his mouth dry. He couldn't drink water even though he was wearing a mask. He said, "There are so many people in the world. I have long forgotten who I have met and who I have not met."

Qingcheng blinked and looked at Shishuang.

Shi Shuang quietly made an 'OK' gesture and said, "If there is nothing else, we will take our leave."

"Hmm." The mayor hesitated for a few seconds.

He could only nod with his hands behind his back. One could actually feel that the face beneath the mask must be melancholy.

Shi Shuang packed her things and said to Qing Cheng, "After we deal with the matter in Fengcheng, you can come back to Qi with me. I will find you a handsome and rich man in Qi."

Qingcheng responded quickly.

She knew that the princess was trying to provoke the mayor, but how did this provocation involve her?

"Okay, okay, but I'm so fat, I'm sure people will dislike me...right?"

Well, I still feel a little guilty.

The mayor looked up and said, "You are not fat, you are just sick. When you recover, you will lose weight. Besides, what's wrong with being fat? You didn't eat other people's rice. You look good no matter how you look."

"...?"

The two looked at each other.

Shi Shuang's lips curled up, and she said that there was definitely some spark between the two of them. She said, "How is that possible? Qingcheng is fat, does anyone really like him?"

The mayor said seriously, "Yes."

"Who?"

"I."

Qingcheng took a deep breath and her face turned red. She lowered her head and said, "What are you talking about? This is the first day we met. How could you possibly like me?"

Love at first sight?

Who likes a fat guy?

She is not a little girl and would not believe such nonsense. If she is coming for her father's status, she might as well marry her father directly.

Shi Shuang asked back: "Are you deceiving our Qingcheng?"

The mayor clenched his fists nervously. He had clearly told himself in his heart that he could not tell this secret to anyone, but he could do so in front of the person he liked.

He is no longer calm.

"I have known Qingcheng for a long time."

Qingcheng guessed: "At the border?"

The mayor said, "Earlier, when you were six and I was eight."

It turned out to be a secret crush of childhood sweethearts. Shi Shuang took out melon seeds and drinks from the space, sat aside, and glanced at the auction below.

Qingcheng recalled and scratched her head: "Sorry, I don't seem to remember you..."

Shi Shuang reminded, "You're wearing a mask, so you naturally don't remember. The mayor can take off the mask."

Mainly, she was also curious.

What does someone who can control the black market look like?

The mayor hesitated for a few seconds, and took off his mask as the two waited. He did not dare to look directly into Qingcheng's eyes, and asked calmly, "Did you remember?"

"Uh…"

Qingcheng thought with his chin in his hand.

At this time, Jiusu was also certain that the mayor really liked Qingcheng. Under his handsome appearance, he was still honest and upright, especially when he looked at Qingcheng.

There was a flash of inferiority in his eyes.

"It's been more than ten years, everyone must have changed. Can the mayor remind them?"

The mayor came back to his senses. He had indeed changed a lot. The loss in his heart was somewhat irrational. He said, "My name is Zhao Mingyun. We met in the martial arts hall. There were very few girls at that time. There was only your daughter and General Wu's. I was very fat and was always laughed at as a little fat boy, but you would protect me. You said..."

"What's wrong with being fat? It's not like I'm eating your food."

Qingcheng said: "I have some impression."

Shi Shuang suddenly realized: "Oh, so they have been involved since childhood. Then why didn't the mayor go to find Qingcheng when he lost weight?"

"Ah." Zhao Ming said angrily, "Later, my family fell into poverty, and I fled here. I worked hard and became a black market owner that everyone fears. But Qingcheng is the daughter of a great general with great military achievements. She has a noble status and is surrounded by many outstanding young men. I, I am not worthy of being here."

Qingcheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "A few years ago, I became fat due to illness, and there were many people around me who called me fat and called me a dead pig."

Zhao Ming was extremely angry, and anger showed on his honest face.

"They are blind! You are beautiful, not just in appearance, but also in heart. Qingcheng, don't belittle yourself. You will always be the most beautiful in my heart. You will lose weight, be healthy and live a long life."

Qingcheng blinked her red eyes: "Okay, I'll lend you my good wishes."

The two of them laughed and recalled what happened in Shengjing. Shi Shuang felt sleepy and fell asleep in the rocking chair. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of bells.

Golden Eyes: "It's already daybreak! Please leave the black market within one stick of incense, and no noise is allowed! Those who don't leave will be dealt with according to the market rules!"

I didn't expect it's already been night.

Qing Cheng was still not satisfied and said, "Princess, let's go. They must be waiting anxiously at the inn."

Zhao Mingyun invited, "How can the inn be more comfortable than here? The bedrooms here have the best beds, you can sleep comfortably, and the maids serve you wholeheartedly. How about you two stay here?"

Shi Shuang has solved the food problem and is going to Fengcheng.

As for Qingcheng, that's up to her.

Unexpectedly, Qingcheng shook his head and said, "We are leaving for Fengcheng now. I'll leave the food issue to you."

The black market is like a place isolated from the outside world. Inside, you don’t notice the passage of time. It’s as interesting as nightlife.

On the way, Shi Shuang asked.

"I see the mayor has feelings for you, why don't you stay?"

Qing Cheng said: "I haven't started to accept new feelings yet, or even if I really have a good impression of him, I won't stay for the time being."

Shi Shuang thought so too, when a person hasn’t figured out what he wants.

Don't start a new life easily, especially a life with someone else's company, as this will make you lose yourself and turn to please others.

"You're still quite sober."

Qing Cheng clenched his fist and smiled, "Of course, I want to lose weight now. I can also feel the city owner's kindness to me. If I stay in the black market, I will surely have a good life. But I have too much fat on my body. If I immerse myself in happiness, I will get even fatter."

Shi Shuang smiled and said nothing.

She remembered a sentence: Is the premise of being loved to be beautiful? Maybe, becoming beautiful is to love yourself better, and also to love yourself more.

"Rest today and set off tomorrow."

On the second floor of the black market, looking at his beloved who was gradually going away, Zhao Mingyun put on a mask, and the reluctant expression on his face suddenly became extremely cold.

It was as if he was not the same person as the innocent young man just now.

He is the ruthless and murderous black market lord. Everyone is afraid of him and everyone stays away from him. He touched his heart and felt that there was a person hiding inside.

"You go and protect Qingcheng."

"Yes." Jin Tong clasped his fists, picked up his sword and left.
