The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 556 He Misses Princess Zhaolian

Quan Qinghua stood a few steps away from them, then nodded slightly towards Ye Wenyan.

Ye Wenyan returned the greeting and asked, "I just met you by chance, Your Highness, please don't say that you also met by chance."

Quan Qinghua shook his head. "It wasn't a coincidence. I came here for the child. To be honest, I have been keeping an eye on this place since the last time. The murder happened yesterday. I sent someone to the scene. The two people died miserably. The woman's skull was smashed by the man, and the man cut his neck with a blunt knife. Blood spurted all over the room.

The child was in the house at the time and witnessed everything. He even tried to cover the wound on his father's neck, but blood sprayed all over his face again, like a ghost. I came to the outer city early in the morning and went to the government office of Lin'an Prefecture in the outer city. Because the case was simple and the murderer was already dead, there was nothing to investigate. I just asked the man's brother to take the body back, signed and stamped, and the case was closed.

But no one came to take the woman back. Her family was not in Lin'an, and the man's family refused to take her back. Even in the government office, the younger brother said that he wanted to divorce the woman and that she would not be buried in their ancestral tomb after her death. So the woman's body stayed in the government office, and the officials had no choice but to treat it as an unidentified body.

Later, this king showed them a clear way, and asked them to carry the female corpse to find the men who had had relationships with her before her death. At that time, everyone would be called together and publicly claim the body. If someone claimed it, he would be allowed to take the body away. If no one claimed it, the body would be unloaded according to the number of men, and each person would get a piece, even if they didn't want it.

Junior Sister, do you think my idea is very good?"

Ye Wenyan frowned and said nothing. Ye Chulian's face turned pale. Even though she liked the Fourth Prince in her heart, she didn't dare to look up at him at this moment. She felt that the person who could say such words was very cruel, as if there was a terrible monster living in a calm body. If he hid well, he would still be calm; if he didn't hide well, the monster would eat people.

The weather in April made her so cold that her whole body was shivering, one after another, and she couldn't control it at all.

But Quan Qinghua asked, "Fifth Miss, are you scared?"

Ye Wenyan held her hand, and Ye Chulian felt a warm breath enveloping her. The coldness faded away at once, and her body stopped shaking. However, she still did not dare to look up at Quan Qinghua, let alone answer his questions.

Ye Wenyan was helpless, "My fifth sister is timid, why do you have to scare her like this?"

Quan Qinghua smiled and bowed to Ye Chulian, "Fifth Miss, I'm sorry." Ye Chulian calmed down, returned the greeting, and called out, "Fourth Prince." Then she said nothing.

Ye Wenyan asked Quan Qinghua: "Since Your Highness has already dealt with the woman's body, what are you doing here now?"

Quan Qinghua did not hide it from her: "I'll ask the child if he wants to go with me. If he nods, I'll take him with me, either as an attendant or a book boy, and raise him up."

"Why?" She was puzzled. "You don't know him at all, you have no relatives or friends with him, why did you raise him?"

Quan Qinghua smiled bitterly, "Call it fate! It's better for me to take him with me than for him to be thrown out of the house by his relatives and be helpless. At his age, if he is homeless, he will have no hope in his life. Don't worry, Junior Sister, I won't force him into slavery. Just consider it as a good deed for me and a good person. I hope that when he grows up, he can live like an ordinary person, not like me."

Ye Wenyan looked back at the small courtyard. She didn’t know whether the child was willing to go with Quan Qinghua, but as Quan Qinghua said, having someone to rely on is always better than being kicked out by relatives and wandering the streets from then on.

The child's state just now made her feel uneasy. That was not the way a child should be. She didn't know whether he was frightened by the scene when his parents died, or whether he really understood why his father wanted to kill his mother.

She hoped it was the first one, because that way she might be able to find a solution and there would still be hope. But if it was the second one, she was afraid that many years later, she would become another Quan Qinghua.

"Brother, you should make your own decision. I only met that kid once, so there's no need for me to thank you on his behalf. I just hope you can let him get some more sunshine. The sunshine will dispel the haze in people's hearts. Maybe as time goes by, some things that we used to think were very important will no longer be so important."

Quan Qinghua nodded, "Okay." After saying that, he was about to walk into the courtyard. When he reached the door, he remembered something and turned back to Ye Wenyan and said, "Princess Zhaolian wrote to say that the compensation from Guiyue Country is on the way, and she is coming back with us. Let me tell you, when she is about to arrive in Lin'an, please go out of the city in person to greet her, so that you can show how much you value her."

Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard it, and said casually: "You are too self-indulgent!" Then he took his people into the carriage.

Quan Qinghua watched the carriage go away and started laughing, but he was stunned after just laughing. He thought he was laughing at Ye Wenyan's words that he was being sentimental and hypocritical, but it turned out that he was laughing at the news that Princess Guiyue was coming to Lin'an again.

After he left Guiyue for nearly half a year, he began to miss the girl who had always worn a thin red gauze skirt even in winter. It turned out that in the hellish Guiyue, there was still someone who seemed to be his salvation. Even after many years, she would still bloom into a red lotus in his eyes and heart, making him unable to avoid her.

He looked up. The sun at this hour was not as strong as at noon, but it was still a little dazzling.

Ye Wenyan said that being illuminated by the sun would dispel the haze. Maybe that's true! But his haze has been rooted in his heart for too long and it's hard to remove. So he wants to take the child away and live in the sun from now on. Maybe after a few years, what should be forgotten will be forgotten, and what should not be forgotten will not be important anymore.

He was no longer able to save himself, so he could only try his best to save the child. It would be a blessing if there was one less person like him in the world.

On the return carriage, Ye Chulian kept frowning, thinking hard about something.

Ye Wenyan did not take the initiative to disturb her until the carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, then he heard Ye Chulian say: "Sister, what kind of person is he? Is he a good person or a bad person? Why can a person who looks so calm and indifferent say such words? And why did he take me away as a hostage last time he argued with you?

Although he didn't do anything to hurt me, I knew that he used all his self-control to suppress his anger and maintain his decency, but in fact he was on the verge of losing his temper.

I really wanted to ask him what happened, but I also knew that there were some things I was not qualified to ask. He and I were just strangers who were slightly familiar with each other. We only met because of my fourth sister and uncle, and I was a hostage at the time.

But what he said today was too scary. Although he had asked his followers to tell my father that he wanted to exchange my second brother's hand for me, I always felt that he was just angry and just said it. But today, he made me feel that he really thought so, and the officials would listen to him and really do so. This is too scary, it doesn't seem like what he should do. "

Ye Wenyan tilted his head to look at her, looked at her for a while and then smiled, then said: "Then what do you think he should be like? Should he be calm and indifferent? Chu Lian, a person's appearance is just how he looks, which does not mean that he is actually like that. People often say that seeing is believing, but sometimes even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not be completely true.

You yourself said that you and the Fourth Prince are only slightly familiar with each other. How can two people who are only slightly familiar with each other know each other better? "

She patted Ye Chulian and said, "Don't think too much. Maybe what I said was a little serious, but it's not that serious. You asked me if he is a good person or a bad person. I can only say that compared to us, he is a good person, but compared to others, he may be a bad person.

Just like the Third Prince, everyone says that the Third Prince is decisive in killing and overbearing, but he is very good to the Second Brother, and now he is also very good to us, so we can't say that he is a bad person.

So good guys and bad guys are all relative. Don't worry about what he did to others, just look at what he did to you. Of course, he took you hostage, which is not a good thing either."

"What's his personality like?" Ye Chulian still wanted to know more about that person.

Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what his personality is, but he has hatred in his heart, and he has been holding it in for many years. Imagine if a person has lived with great hatred for more than ten years, would his personality be more or less affected by this hatred and undergo some changes? I once heard Quan Qingcheng say that his fourth brother was a very sunny boy more than ten years ago. He often visited him, talked to him, and bought him new things sold on the street. Perhaps that is what the Fourth Prince should be like, and what we see now is just the mask he puts on after he has hatred. I hope that one day he can take off the mask and let us see the real him."

"Go back!" She patted Ye Chulian, "Take Sui Xi in first, I'll stand outside the door for a while."

Ye Chulian listened to her now, and did whatever she asked without asking why. Ye Wenyan asked her to enter the mansion first, and she left with Suixi. Soon, only Ye Wenyan and Zhuier were left outside the mansion, and Zhou Shang was about to drive the carriage to the back door.

She called Zhou Shang, and the carriage stopped moving. Zhou Shang jumped off the carriage, and Ye Wenyan also took two steps forward.

She just stood there and looked at Zhou Shang. She obviously had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.

It was Zhou Shang who spoke first to break the deadlock. She asked Ye Wenyan: "Miss, do you want to know about the general's situation at the border?"
