Her eyes instantly became surprised and flustered, and the embroidery in her hands fell to the ground.

She couldn't believe her eyes. Was the person in front of her really Qin Minglang who had been with her back then?

Qin Minglang walked slowly towards her, his eyes full of excitement. He said softly, "Are you Cui Linglong? I finally found you."

Cui Linglong's body was trembling slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her emotions get out of control.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the face in front of her, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then turned her head away, avoiding Qin Minglang's gaze.

She said in a deep voice: "You've got the wrong person, I'm not Cui Linglong."

Qin Minglang was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. He said anxiously:

"Linglong, how can you say such a thing?

I am clear, we were plotted against, and that’s why it happened~~~

I know it was my fault. I had something urgent to do that day and left before you woke up.

I shouldn't have just left you the jade token and the note without sending anyone to follow you.

I told my family that you had come to propose marriage for us, but I didn’t expect that my family never waited for you to come. After investigation, I found out that you were kicked out of the house.

Linglong, although you look different from before, I know you are Cui Linglong, and I won't make a mistake."

A trace of pain flashed across Cui Linglong's face, and her voice was filled with determination:

“No, you’re wrong.

I am no longer the Cui Linglong of the past. I have a new life now and don’t want to be disturbed by the past anymore.

I still have business to do, please leave."

Looking at Cui Linglong's resolute look, Qin Minglang stood there blankly, holding the fallen embroidery tightly in his hand, not understanding why Cui Linglong was unwilling to recognize him.

Qin Minglang's eyes became dim. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

He took a deep breath, turned around and walked away slowly, each step seeming so heavy.

Cui Linglong looked at Qin Minglang's departing back and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

As the days passed, Qin Minglang did not appear again, but Cui Linglong's heart could not calm down.

Qin Minglang said that he left a jade token and a piece of paper for himself. He was in a trance at the time and was in a hurry to leave, so he did not notice the note.

If this is the case, what does everything I have suffered over the years mean?

Even if he was negligent and didn't find the note, why didn't Qin Minglang come to find it for a month?

She thought about what she had gone through over the years and the hardships she and her children had endured, and she felt an unspeakable pain in her heart.

Qin Minglang also fell into deep pain. He didn't understand why Cui Linglong was unwilling to forgive him.

He decided to find out the reason and win Cui Linglong's heart again...

After Qin Minglang returned to Shangao Village, he hurried to find Old Madam Qin and Xiang.

"Grandma, mother, there is something I want to ask you."

Seeing how anxious he was, Madam Qin and Madam Xiang asked him seriously, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Grandmother, do you remember that year when I was secretly plotting to meet a girl at the flower viewing banquet and did something rude to her?"

Madam Qin and Xiang thought for a moment and said:

"How could I not remember? After you left, we waited for the girl to come to our house, but she didn't come for a month.

After investigation, we found out that the girl was the daughter of Minister Cui. When we were preparing to propose marriage, we learned that the girl had been kicked out of the home for disrespecting discipline.

We thought this matter was very important and should be related to the flower-viewing banquet, so we looked for Miss Cui in the capital and even found Cui's hometown. People in her hometown said that Miss Cui did not go back, as if the girl had disappeared and could not be found anywhere.

My grandmother was afraid that she had been abducted or met with an accident like your aunt, so she sent people to search for the girl in the surrounding areas with her portrait, but to no avail.

Later, something happened to you, and your family was devastated, so they stopped looking for you."

As she spoke, Madam Qin looked at Qin Minglang and asked, "Lang'er, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Qin Minglang took a deep breath and said:

“My grandmother and mother also knew that I was at fault back then, and I have not been able to visit her in person over the past three years.

Now that I'm back, I always feel that there is something hidden in what happened back then, so I want to find out what happened back then."

Xiang nodded and said:

"If you feel there is something fishy going on, then you should investigate and get to the bottom of it."

Qin Minglang bowed to Old Lady Qin and Xiang and said:

"Grandma, mother, I have something to do recently and need to be away for a few days. I will leave soon."

Qin Minglang rode as fast as he could to the capital that day. Except for two hours of rest every day, he was on the road all the time, shortening the journey to the capital to four days.

Qin Minglang missed Qinghe's plane all the way. If he had a plane, he wouldn't have to travel so much.

After arriving in the capital, Qin Minglang bribed the Cui family's servant, and in exchange for a large sum of money, the servant told him everything that had happened that year.

It turns out that Cui Linglong was kicked out of the house not just because of her so-called "disrespect for discipline", but because she lost her virginity to her sister at a flower-viewing banquet.

A month later, she was found to be pregnant. Under the instigation of her stepmother and sister, Minister Cui also felt that she brought shame to the family, and in a fit of rage, he kicked her out of the house.

In order to prevent future trouble, her stepmother and sister bribed someone to knock her out and then sold her to human traffickers.

Later, there was no trace of the eldest lady.

After Qin Minglang learned the truth, his heart was filled with regret and self-blame.

He swore that he would protect her well in the future, make up for everything she had suffered over the years, and never let her suffer any harm again.

After knowing the truth of that year, Qin Minglang immediately rushed back to Linglong Pavilion in Qinghe Town.

When he arrived, Cui Linglong was not in Linglong Pavilion. The shop assistant said, "Boss, she was busy at home today and didn't come to the store."

Qin Minglang asked for her home address and found her way here.

Standing at Cui Linglong's door, he took a deep breath, calmed his nervous mood, and then gently knocked on the door.

After a while, the door slowly opened and Cui Linglong appeared at the door.

When she saw Qin Minglang, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her indifference and turned around to close the door.

"Why are you here?" Cui Linglong's voice was a little tired.

Qin Minglang looked at Cui Linglong's slightly haggard face. He hugged Cui Linglong tightly, his eyes full of concern:

"I'm sorry, Linglong, I know the truth of what happened back then, and I'm sorry that you suffered so much.

I heard that you were kicked out of the house because you had a child. Is our child born? Is he okay?

Linglong, can you give me a chance to make up for my mistakes?"

Cui Linglong broke free from his arms, her eyes dimmed for a moment, and she stepped aside to let Qin Minglang enter the house.

Qin Minglang walked into the room and saw a thin child lying on the bed, pale and in a coma.
