The night is as quiet as water, and the water waves are not happy.

A boat with a black roof swayed on the water, like duckweed in the water.The boatman skillfully supported the penny, but his mind was in the cabin.There was no business today, he was planning to call it a day and go home, but just as he packed the oars, a girl in white clothes who was as beautiful as a fairy suddenly appeared and wanted to hire his boat.Of course, there was no reason not to accept the business. He could only take out the packed things again, and enthusiastically welcomed the girl in white into the cabin.When asked where the girl was going, the girl just said casually.Anyone who hires a boat always has a place to go, and this is the first time he has seen a customer who says he can go anywhere on the boat, so he is very curious about the customers in the cabin.

It is said that curiosity killed the cat, but his curiosity did not kill him, maybe because he is a human instead of a cat.As soon as the boat passed an arched bridge, the boatman couldn't help asking: "There is a fork in the road ahead. I wonder if the girl should go left or right?"

A voice came leisurely from the cabin: "Boater, please feel free."

Unwilling to give up, the boatman continued to ask: "It's late at night, I don't know where the girl wants to go alone?"

This time there was no sound from the cabin, but the curtain of the cabin was lifted by a fair and beautiful palm.The owner of the hand is none other than Hua Youran who left the alley.Hua Youran stood still at the bow of the boat, feeling the river wind blowing, she felt that her mood had improved a lot, and she couldn't help smiling.She turned her head to look at the confused boatman, and said with a smile, "Does the boatman think I'm a bad person and worry that I'll bring you trouble?"

The boatman was pierced, he smiled coquettishly, and said: "Miss, I have a small business, and I have a wife and children at home, so I really can't cause trouble."

Hua Youran said: "Don't worry, Boatman, I'm not a bad person, and I won't bring you any trouble. I heard that the night view of Wuzhen is very good, I just want to see it."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the boatman, saying, "Thank you."

The boatman knows the beauties and knows the silver even more, and the silver is ten taels. When the business is good, he has to earn half a month, and when the business is not good, it may take a month.Thinking about his wife and children at home, he accepted the money, but he was still a little worried.It is said that the more beautiful the thing is, the more difficult it is to mess with. Bright mushrooms are poisonous, and beautiful roses have thorns. I don't know if this girl who is so beautiful that she is not in the world is a scourge.The boatman gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't the girl from the local area?"

Hua Youran knew that she still had a grievance in her heart, and said: "I'm not a local, I just went to Wuzhen for fun, and now I'm temporarily staying in Xie's Mansion."

Xie Mansion is famous in Wuzhen.Then the guests of the Xie Mansion must not be some villains.The boatman was finally relieved, laughed a few times and continued to rock the boat.

Just at this time, there was only a plop, and there was a commotion on the arch bridge.

Their boat had just sailed out of the arch bridge, not far from it.Hua Youran's eyesight is very good, and she saw a girl in pink jumping into the river.The noise on the bridge became louder and louder, and there were many voices calling for help, but no one went into the water to save people.Hua Youran didn't think about saving her, but the boatman was an honest man, and his boat was gradually going back to the arch bridge.When there was still a distance from the arch bridge, Hua Youran saw a familiar figure jumping down the river, and disappeared on the river surface in a moment.Not long after, two wet heads appeared on the surface of the river.The people on the arch bridge couldn't help cheering when they saw the woman was saved.Hua Youran watched the people on the water slowly approaching the river bank, and couldn't help frowning. She raised her eyes and saw Gu Qingyi on the bank, and asked the boatman to come to the shore.

The shore was full of people, and the girl in pink gradually regained consciousness, and was taken away by her family members who came after hearing the news.The people who watched the excitement gradually dispersed, and the only people left were Hua Youran, Gu Qingyi, and Cen Biqing who was all wet.

Hua Youran said: "I asked you to come out to watch the lanterns, but I didn't ask you to save people."

Cen Biqing said: "But that girl fell into the water."

Hua Youran said: "You are a good person. He wants to die by himself, so what if you rescue him?"

Cen Biqing was a little angry, and said: "Palace Master, I will not refuse to save you."

Hua Youran sneered, and said: "Okay. Since you want to save people, I will let you save as many as you can. I will give you one day, and you go to save ten people. If one person is missing, you and Yi'er will be punished together. Remember, it's you who can't do anything, and innocent Yi'er has been hurt."

Cen Biqing didn't expect Hua Youran to be such a desperate person, and when she thought of Hua Youran's cold words to her during the day, she became angry and said: "I thought that the rumors outside were not true, but now I see Although you are not a treacherous person, you are indeed not a good person. Since you refused to save me, why did you save me at that time?"

Hua Youran sneered and said, "You are lucky. When you were about to die, you met me who was in a good mood."

Cen Biqing frowned and stopped talking.

Hua leisurely said: "If you think I'm not good, you can leave."

The arrogance in Cen Biqing's heart rose, and he turned and left.

Hua leisurely said: "Don't forget the purpose of your trip."

Cen Biqing stopped in his tracks, remained silent for a while, and said: "Don't bother the palace master, I will avenge my family's revenge myself."

Hua leisurely said: "Since that's the case, let's go."

Cen Biqing walked very simply, without looking back. After walking a long way, a sense of loneliness suddenly rose in his heart.It was late at night and the street was quiet, but she was homeless and didn't know where to go.Not long ago, she also regarded Baihua Palace as her home.But now, Baihua Palace is not her home either.Hua Youran's fickleness was beyond her expectation.She should have known very well that the owner of Baihua Palace would not be a good person, why did she want to give Hua Youran an image of a good person in her heart?Now that the phantom in her heart collapsed, she couldn't bear it.Is it wrong to take action to save people?Is she too young, or is she inexperienced?However, she was born in a famous family, and the education she received since she was a child was to be upright, to act bravely, to punish rape and eliminate evil.She felt that she was not wrong, why should she be punished?Why do you want to implicate the innocent Gu Qingyi?Since Hua Youran doesn't like her, maybe leaving is the best choice.As for the family feud, she will not give up.Thinking of the dead parents and brothers and sisters, I can't help feeling sad.She squatted down slowly against the wall, buried her head in her knees, and wept silently.The world is so big that there is no place for her now.The world is so big, how to find the damned enemy?

A drop of water fell on the back of the hand, awakening Cen Biqing who was drowning in grief.Looking up, three or five drops of water fell on the cheeks, followed by dense drops of water.She stretched out her hand to wipe her face, and murmured, "It's raining."

"Yeah, it's raining."

Accompanied by the sound, an oil-paper umbrella was laid across Cen Biqing's head.Cen Biqing looked sideways, but did not see the face of the person coming.But judging by the voice, the person who came must be a woman.The face of the visitor was hidden in the shadows, only outlines could be seen.Cen Biqing only vaguely saw her smiling, but didn't know what she was smiling at.Is it raining, is it worth laughing?

Seeing that Cen Biqing was silent, the visitor knelt down to look at her, and said, "little girl, why are you here alone?"

Finally, Cen Biqing saw clearly the appearance of the visitor.Eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes like stars, red lips like flowers, she is a very beautiful woman.She shrank her neck vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?"

The visitor smiled and said, "You can call me Yunxi."

"Yunxi..."

Yunxi nodded and smiled, "That's right. You look a lot like a niece of mine."

Cen Biqing said: "Really?"

Yunxi said: "Yes, very similar. She used to be a proud child of our Yun family, but she is no longer here."

Cen Biqing said: "Not here anymore?"

Yunxi said: "She is dead."

When asked about other people's sad things, Cen Biqing naturally stopped talking.

As soon as Yunxi's beautiful eyes turned, she had an idea in her mind, and said: "Miss, I have something to ask, I wonder if Miss is willing to help?"

Cen Biqing said: "What's the matter?"

Yunxi said: "As I said just now, you look very similar to my niece. Since the death of my niece, my brother has been depressed. Recently, I am eager to miss my daughter, and even contracted a disease. I want you to go back home with me. Look at him."

Cen Biqing said: "I'm not your niece, what's the use of seeing him?"

Yunxi said: "This statement is wrong, if my brother sees you, he will be very happy."

Cen Biqing wanted to agree, but suddenly thought of Sikong Jing, and said, "I have something to do in Wuzhen, so I can't help you."

Yunxi said: "I will stay in Wuzhen for a few days, how about we go together? I can wait for you to finish the work."

Cen Biqing thought for a moment, and said: "I don't know when I will finish the work, and I can't guarantee the time limit for your waiting. If you insist on waiting, I can go back with you to see your brother after I finish the work."

Yunxi smiled and said, "Girl is warm-hearted, Yunxi would like to thank you very much."

------

Xie Mansion, in the wing room.

There are many plates on the big round table in the room, and the plates are filled with pastries of various colors.These were all prepared by Xie Yu.He supervised the kitchen for most of the afternoon, and when these pastries were made, Hua Youran was not at the house.There was no other way, he could only order someone to save the finished cakes and deliver them after Hua Youran returned home.When Hua Youran returned home at night, Xie Yu waited until night, and talked with Hua Youran enthusiastically, and finally successfully persuaded Hua Youran to accept the cake.Xu Shihua was in a good mood leisurely, and asked him for a pot of vintage wine.It was inconvenient to enter the women's boudoir in the middle of the night, and Xie Yu consciously said goodbye and left after serving the wine.

Now, only Hua Youran and Gu Qingyi are left in the room.

Gu Qingyi is a person who rarely talks, but when she speaks, she often hits the nail on the head.She was not interested in the cakes on the table, she just stared at Hua Youran's hand holding the wine glass, and said, "Why did the palace master deliberately get rid of junior sister in anger?"

Hua Youran asked: "Who told you that I deliberately drove her away?"

Gu Qingyi said: "I can see it."

Hua leisurely said: "Oh? How did you see it?"

Gu Qingyi said: "Saving people, that's right."

At that time, she and Cen Biqing happened to be strolling by the bridge, and they didn't intend to save people at first.But he couldn't let go of a human life, so he watched from the sidelines.But after waiting for a long time, no one came to help, so Cen Biqing went down to the river to save the man.

Hua Youran said: "If I said she was wrong, she was wrong."

Gu Qingyi said: "Is it because of Aunt Yun?"

Aunt Yun is Yun Qian.They will follow Hua Youran to worship every Qingming Festival.They didn't know the cause of Yun Qian's death very well, but they knew that Hua Youran valued him very much.They had seen Yun Qian's portrait before, and they still remembered it vividly.When Cen Biqing appeared, they were more or less surprised, because Cen Biqing was very similar to Yun Qian in the portrait.Normally, they dare not guess Hua Youran's thoughts, so only Gu Qingyi, who rarely speaks, dares to say a few words.Even though Gu Qingyi is young, he is an extremely transparent person, and there are very few deviations in what he thinks and feels.

Hua Youran took a sip of the wine, neither denying nor admitting it, just drinking one cup at a time.

The answer was already very clear, Gu Qingyi tactfully did not ask any further questions, and silently refilled Hua Youran's glass with the jug in his hand.

That's right, Hua Youran deliberately drove Cen Biqing away in anger.She found that bringing someone similar to Yun Qian by her side really reminded her of many past events, and it also affected her mood.

Just as Yunxi thought, Hua Youran wanted revenge.Originally, she planned to use Cen Biqing's face similar to Yun Qian's to get close to Yun Yifeng, but after a long time, she felt that it was wrong to use someone who was similar to Yun Qian in this way.Then, don't hurt others.Staying by my side and looking upset, it would be clean to send it away.
