The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Hua Miaomiao, wearing a red wedding dress, stood on the bridge, looking forward, as if waiting for someone.

The maid beside the sedan began to urge her, but she still did not give up and looked into the distance, but she could not see the man.

Forget it, it was just not meant to be in this life. She gave up and followed the maid into the bridal sedan.

Goodbye, Qiao Lang!

Wait...who is Qiao Lang?

Hua Miaomiao suddenly came to her senses and woke up from her dream.

It was already daybreak, and she found herself lying on a riverbank. Beside her, the Imperial Master was sitting by the fire, looking at her with an unfriendly expression.

"Who is Qiao Lang?"

"what?"

Hua Miaomiao was bewildered. She just had a strange dream, how could she know who Qiao Lang was? She felt something cold on her face, and when she touched it, her hand was wet. Did she cry?

But the Imperial Master had obviously misunderstood. How many people did this woman offend that she couldn't remember who she was talking about for a moment.

"I rescued you from the water with good intentions, but you were thinking about someone else in your dream. Hua Miaomiao, you are such a heartless woman."

Hua Miaomiao felt wronged. How can dreams be controlled by human power? It turned out that the last dizziness was caused by falling into the water. Fortunately, it was in the water. If it was in the mountains, I would have become a skewer. However, the words of the state master sounded sour.

Hua Miaomiao was thinking wildly, and the state teacher's face became more and more ugly. Seeing that there was no response from Hua Miaomiao for a long time, he became even angrier.

"Humph!"

Hua Miaomiao was a little confused. This national teacher looked quite young, and his temperament seemed a bit simple and naive. She guessed that he should be younger than herself, so why not just treat him as a child?

"Snow."

"Who are you calling? Are you familiar with him?"

"Didn't you say that before?"

"I thought you were dying, but now you are alive and well."

"I……"

Hua Miaomiao was choked. How could this person be so fickle?

"What do you mean by 'I'? If it weren't for you, would we be in such a mess? You woke up and you quickly got up and found a way out. Are you waiting here for that devil to come and eat you?"

"..."

Okay, okay, Hua Miaomiao knew that this matter was her fault. The Imperial Master was a banished immortal, and it was rare for him to end up in such an embarrassing situation. This person was furious now, so she would not say anything to provoke him.

Hua Miaomiao stood up and found herself dry. It must be the Imperial Master who cast a spell to help her dry herself. This guy, apart from being a little sharp-tongued, is quite considerate.

She looked around. This place was surrounded by mountains that towered into the clouds. This was an extremely deep tiankeng.

"Mr. Snow, can you fly?"

The Imperial Master didn't want to talk, and just rolled his eyes at her. Okay, Hua Miaomiao understood, after all, she was just a mortal, it was fine to rise from the ground, but it was a bit too much to fly into the sky.

"Let's see if there's a mountain road that can lead us out."

It was rare for the Imperial Master to take the initiative to speak, so Hua Miaomiao moved over servilely.

"okay."

The two walked along the bottom of the cliff for a long time and finally found a feasible path in the bamboo forest.

"This trace doesn't look like that of a human. Could it be some ferocious beast?" Hua Miaomiao asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, if it really encounters one, you are enough for it."

"..."

Hua Miaomiao felt aggrieved and she didn't want to be alone with him anymore.

"Hmph!" She snorted and walked ahead, but missed the doting smile of the person behind her.

The Imperial Master walked behind her, protecting her with his hands to prevent her from slipping and falling, and to block the rebounding bamboo branches for her.

They followed the traces for a long time. The sun was already setting, but it was still circling in the bamboo forest.

"How big is this forest? Why does it seem like there is no end?"

Hua Miaomiao was finding it a bit strenuous to walk, so she found a thick bamboo to lean on, gasping for breath from exhaustion.

"Is there a possibility that this thing lives in the bamboo forest, so its range of activities does not leave the bamboo forest?"

"Ah?" Hua Miaomiao jumped up and moved away from every bamboo. She felt her hair stand on end and looked around cautiously.

The Imperial Master looked at it with amusement, "Don't worry, if it really only lives in this bamboo forest, at least it proves that it is a vegetarian."

"Is it fun to scare me?" Hua Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore and chose to take action directly. The two of them chased each other and started fighting in the woods.

"Who are you?" A clear female voice interrupted the two people who were playing.

Looking back, I saw a chubby girl standing not far away, with a round face, delicate skin and a pair of bright eyes.

Hua Miaomiao approached the Imperial Master and asked quietly, "Is she a demon?"

"Not really. I can't sense any demonic aura."

"Tsk, didn't you sense any evil spirits coming from Xiuzhu and the others?"

The disdain on Hua Miaomiao's face made the Imperial Master very unhappy. He explained: "Those are all great demons who have been enlightened."

"Anyway, I don't know whether it's true or not, so whatever you say is fine."

The fat girl seemed very interested in the bickering between the two people. She moved closer and listened with fascination, with envy in her eyes.

"Your relationship is so good."

Hua Miaomiao seemed to be shocked. She gestured back and forth between the two of them with her hands in disbelief.

"How did you get here?"

"If I say that the sedan chair was flying in the air and threw us down, would you believe it?"

"Oh, you were brought here by Qiao Lang."

"Qiao Lang?"

These two words seemed to have ignited a switch. The Imperial Master looked at Hua Miaomiao with displeasure. Hua Miaomiao was obviously innocent, but she felt guilty being stared at by him.

Hua Miaomiao quickly changed the subject, saying that this girl must know something.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I know. Qiao Lang lives on the other side of the mountain. I guess you were left behind on the way."

Haha, Hua Miaomiao smiled perfunctorily. Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. Fortunately, the national teacher had amazing arm strength. Fortunately, they fell into the water, otherwise they would have been smashed into meat paste.

"But he's never brought anyone back before. What's so special about you?"

The girl walked around the two men curiously.

"It's very ordinary. I don't understand."

Hua Miaomiao couldn’t understand it either. It would be fine if it was just her, but how could someone like the National Master be called ordinary?

"Can you take us away?"

The girl was a little embarrassed, "You are the guests invited by Qiao Lang, you should inform him first."

You call this a "please"? Hua Miaomiao thought to herself.

"Actually, Qiao Lang is quite pitiful."

A long time ago, Qiao Lang was the only scholar in Xinliu Town. He met Li Niang, a young lady from the Xu family, by chance. They secretly fell in love with each other. Fortunately, Mr. Xu did not despise Qiao Lang's poor family and was willing to help him get together. However, Qiao Lang felt that he was not worthy of Li Niang. He did not leave a word and quietly went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Maybe he thought too highly of himself, or maybe he was just unlucky. He failed the exam three times in a row. Now he was too ashamed to go back to see Li Niang. He was glad that he had never made a promise to her, maybe she had already married.

Qiao Lang found a job as an accountant in Beijing and prepared for his life. Until one day, he met a fellow villager. While drinking, he learned that Li Niang had waited for him for many years, until she finally couldn't stand the pressure from her family and had to marry someone else as a second wife. As a result, she died of depression within half a year.

Qiao Lang regretted it deeply at this moment. If he could let go of his ridiculous self-esteem, they would have a happy ending and Li Niang would not have died young.

On his deathbed, Qiao Lang's greatest wish was to go back to the time when Li Niang got married and stop her from marrying someone else.

All his obsessions remained on the bridge that the sedan chair had to pass through, and he was always looking for his Li Niang.

"This guy is such a jerk! He created Li Niang's tragedy, and he also blocked other people's marriages on the bridge. How can this be justified?"

Hua Miaomiao said indignantly.

The national teacher also nodded in agreement.

"At least his feelings are genuine. If he didn't really like her, why would he keep wandering on the bridge? Unlike some people, who tell lies to achieve their goals and then run away at the last minute."

The girl spoke seriously, and the hurt in her eyes did not seem fake. When she noticed Hua Miaomiao looking at her inquiringly, she realized that she had just said something wrong.

"Please wait for a moment. Qiao Lang won't come out until dark."

Helpless, Hua Miaomiao could only find a clean place to sit back. She waved to the Imperial Master, "Master Xue, come and rest."

The Imperial Master expressed his dissatisfaction with her way of calling the dog. He conjured up a thin rope out of thin air, tied it between two trees, jumped lightly, and lay down on it.

Hua Miaomiao was stunned and silently gave a thumbs up, saying, "Great!"
