Qin Miao smiled and said, “I’m not dressed well today, so I’ll definitely visit you some other day.”
As soon as she said that, it started to rain heavily.
The road to the west mountain would not be easy to walk once it started to rain heavily. The weather was already cold, so Qin Miao could only stay in Chang ‘an when the heavy rain fell.
Yue Zhan said to Qin Miao, “You can’t walk on the road to the west mountain once it starts to rain. You can stay in Chang ‘an today. If you don’t have a place to stay, you can squeeze in with Yue Zhu for the night.”
It was rare for Yue Zhu to have a big sister that she could play with.
If she could stay in Chang ‘an as a general, Yue Zhu’s future marriage would also be set in Chang ‘an.
Yue Zhu pulled Qin miaomiao into the carriage vigorously. “Okay, okay. Big Sister, come home with me!”
Being pulled by Yue Zhu, Qin Miaomiao widened her eyes. She was a few years older than Yue Zhu. In front of Yue Zhu’s strength, she was as light as a feather. By the time she came back to her senses, she was already in the carriage.
Yue Zhan was originally riding a horse, so he did not wear a straw raincoat, so he entered the carriage.
The Yue family’s carriage was not spacious, and Yue Zhan was sitting next to it. Qin Miaomiao’s nose was filled with the ambergris that Yue Zhan had gotten from staying in the Tai Chi Palace for a long time.
Qin Miaomiao arrived at the Yue family’s door and said, “General Yue, Miss Yue, I’m wearing mourning clothes today, so I won’t go in. If I don’t run into your Yue family, I’ll just hide from the rain at the door.”
Yue Zhu said, “The Yue family was born as a general, so they don’t believe in such things.”
Yue Zhu pulled Qin Miaomiao all the way into the residence. Qin Miaomiao went to visit old madam Yue. Qin Miaomiao had always been a good person, and offending the Yue family at this time wouldn’t do her any good.
She repeatedly rejected old madam Yue, afraid that she would make old madam Yue unhappy. Now that she was here, it would be inappropriate for her to leave.
It was not the first time old madam Yue had seen Qin Miaomiao. It was just that she had always looked at her from afar. Today, when she saw her, she praised, “So Miss Qin is so beautiful.”
Her son’s eyes were crippled. Even such a beautiful lady would not be moved!
As the saying goes, a beautiful woman must be filial. Even Old Madam Yue looked at Qin Miaomiao, who was dressed in a white traditional dress, pitifully.
Qin miaomiao said, “Old Madam, you flatter me. I heard that old madam was beautiful when she was young. I heard that she was the most beautiful woman in Longxi. Looking at Zhu’er’s appearance, I know what kind of role she played when she was young.”
Which woman did not want to be praised for her beauty? When Qin Miaomiao praised someone, he seemed to be very sincere.
This made old madam Yue very happy.
It was lunchtime, and when Qin Miaomiao was having lunch, he also coaxed old madam Yue and Yue Zhu to be happy.
Yue Zhan could not help but look at Qin Miaomiao. She was young and had many changes. He originally thought that Qin Miaomiao would not be willing to abdicate with Li and Jing Hua after getting married to the Lin family.
However, she took the initiative to ask for a divorce. She was so young and clear-minded.
Old Madam Yue held Qin Miaomiao’s hand and said, “It’s hard for you to be so agreeable to me. If you can be my daughter-in-law…”
Qin miaomiao smiled and said, “I also feel that I am fated with Old Madam. Old Madam is the same as my mother. If I can be your goddaughter, it would be the greatest blessing in my life.”
The word ‘goddaughter’shut old madam Yue’s mouth.
The old Madam Understood Qin Miaomiao’s thoughts and said, “Of course. In the future, you can call me godmother.”
Yue Zhu happily held Qin Miaomiao’s hand and said, “Sister Miaomiao, from now on, we will be a family.”
The old madam said to Yue Zhan, “From now on, we will be your sister. You have to treat her better. Help her out more in Chang ‘an.”
Yue Zhan frowned slightly and nodded coldly.
The rain in the afternoon did not stop. Qin Miaomiao had a house in Chang ‘an that was given to her by Jing Hua. Naturally, she would not stay in the Yue family and sleep peacefully.
After dinner, Yue Zhu and old madam Yue looked at Qin Miaomiao reluctantly.
Old Madam Yue saw that the sky outside was already dark. She said to Yue Zhan, “Send your sister back to her residence. It’s raining at night. I Can’t be at ease with her going back alone.”
Yue Zhan Xin said that it wasn’t like the Yue family didn’t have guards, why did he have to personally send her off? But if he didn’t send his mother off, he would probably be angry again.
The night was dark, and a small lamp was lit in the carriage.
Yue Zhan glanced and saw Qin Mengmeng’s face under the dim light. For some reason, he thought of a sentence. Looking at the moon in the Mist, the dim light saw Qin Mengmeng’s face, and only then did he know that she was also a beauty.
“Thank you so much for today, Miss Qin. It has been a long time since my mother was this happy.”
Qin Meng said lightly, “After my mother left, I have not coaxed an elder like this. Old Madam Yue is actually the same as my mother. I can see that old madam Yue really loves General Yue.”
Yue Zhan said, “There are very few mothers in the world who do not love their children. I am unfilial.”
Qin Miao did not say anything else. She returned to the house that the princess had given her. Qin Miao said to Yue Zhan, “General Yue, I am here. Thank you for your hospitality today.”
Yue Zhan said, “Since my mother has acknowledged you as her goddaughter, there is no need to be so polite.”
Qin Miao only knew one thing after she got off the carriage. She had taken two of the Lin family’s maidservants with her. She had also brought them to the West Mountain Academy. Today, the maidservants were not allowed to enter the palace, so she did not bring her own maidservant over.
This princess had given her the manor and not her servants. In such a large courtyard, there was not even a gatekeeper..
When she pushed open the door, it was pitch black.
It was raining, and the lanterns could not shine far.
Just as Qin Miao was sighing and thinking whether she should go to the inn or look for Xunfu Lu in marquis an Yuan’s manor to stay for the night, she heard footsteps behind her.
Yue Zhan said, “I’ll let you stay in the Yue residence. It was a wasted trip.”
Qin Miaomiao:”…”
How did she know that the eldest princess had given her a garden but not a servant.
Yue Zhan said to Qin miaomiao, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back to the Yue residence.”
Qin miaomiao said, “There’s no need. I’ll just stay here. I’m sure there’s a place to rest in the house. General Yue, be careful on the way back.”
Qin Miaomiao straightened his back and entered the house while holding the lantern in his hand. The house was a little eerie.
This house used to belong to Jian Youxiang’s younger brother. After the Jian family was confiscated, it was bought by Jing Hua. Qin Miaomiao forced himself not to be afraid all the way in.
Until a gust of wind blew away the raindrops on the pine tree by the side. The rain coincidentally entered the lantern and extinguished the candle light that could bring Qin Miaomiao the only light.
Qin Miaomiao saw the lantern go dark and listened to the pitter-patter of rain. In an unfamiliar place, darkness and the biting cold wind interweaved, and fear constantly attacked Qin Miaomiao..
“A child does not speak of strange powers and chaotic gods…”
“A Bodhisattva who observes freedom, his five reserves are all empty…”
“Boundless heavenly venerate…”
Qin Miaomiao tried to persuade herself that there were no ghosts in this world, but she kept reciting Buddhist scriptures and Daoist names. She squatted under the eaves of the corridor and hugged herself tightly, allowing the wind to pass through the Raindrops and fall on her body.
