Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Hearing this, Zhou Wenqing was shocked, but quickly regained his composure.

He knew in his heart that Situ Jin would not bring up this matter for no reason, there must be some purpose.

However, he couldn't reveal it easily, so he could only pretend to be ignorant and answered.

"Master Situ, I have only met your wife's elder sister once. Although Qingshui County is small, I have never met her."

After saying that, Zhou Wenqing looked at Situ Jin deeply, trying to find some clues from his expression.

But he was still nervous. The past that he had tried so hard to hide could not be exposed to the public at any cost. If people knew that he had killed his deceased wife, public opinion would be even more unfavorable to him.

He has always been a person who seeks profit and avoids harm, so he is always cautious in everything.

Situ Jin just smiled slightly, clicked his tongue, and asked curiously with his handsome face.

"That would be strange. There have been rumors circulating in the capital lately, saying that you and Miss Fu are old acquaintances and that you once had a relationship."

Zhou Wenqing's face stiffened uncontrollably. He just realized that Fu Qingning was also from Qingshui County.

If Wan Qingqing had not died, at this moment, he might have wanted to guess that Fu Qingning was Wan Qingqing.

However, Fu Qingning's eyes were strange and cold, without any emotion. That was not Wan Qingqing.

The look in his affectionate eyes always only shows me.

Fu Qingning and Wan Qingqing are two different people.

"The Prime Minister is a trusted official in the imperial court. How could he believe such rumors? That's quite inappropriate. Besides, Fu Qingning is Madam's elder sister. She and I are completely innocent."

Zhou Wenqing's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, and he retorted directly.

Situ Jin was not angry. He pulled out a folding fan from his waist and said in a puzzled tone, "The rumor is not groundless. It was spread by your wife. Scholar Zhou should go back and ask your wife."

After saying this, Situ Jin gently waved his folding fan and strode out of the Golden Palace.

He had a smile on his face and was in a good mood. As for Zhou Wenqing, the newly crowned number one scholar, he made friends with powerful people in the court, and over the years, he acted secretly and cunningly, which was not the right way.

This person probably has a deep conflict with the eldest daughter of the Fu family.

Zhou Wenqing walked out of the palace with a gloomy face, and the servant Aqi hurriedly helped Zhou Wenqing into the carriage.

Zhou Wenqing sat in the carriage with a sullen face, saying nothing. Seeing this, Aqi asked cautiously, "Sir, what happened?"

Zhou Wenqing looked up at Aqi, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, but he still said patiently: "What's unusual in the mansion recently?"

Aqi thought for a moment and replied, "Nothing unusual, it's just that Madam seems to be in a bad mood these past few days and often sits in a daze alone."

Zhou Wenqing frowned, feeling increasingly irritated. He recalled what Situ Jin had just said, and doubts welled up in his mind.

Could it be true, as Situ Jin said, that these rumors were spread by his own wife?

Fu Yayun has always been dignified and virtuous. Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, he once loved Fu Yayun deeply.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenqing's face became even uglier.

"I heard that the Madam has returned to her parents' home?"

Aqi said softly, "It wasn't anything else. It was just that there was a disagreement between the Madam and the Old Madam. Then she hurried back to the Shangshu Mansion and came back the same day. I heard that the Madam had a big fight with her eldest sister."

After a pause, Aqi told the outrageous rumor he had heard. It turned out that Fu Yayun suspected that Fu Qingning had a secret affair with him, which caused the big fuss.

No wonder Situ Jin said that just now. It seems that it is not groundless.

Thinking of his usually gentle and lovely wife, Zhou Wenqing felt a little annoyed. If this matter were to get out, his official career would most likely be affected.

He suddenly didn't want to see his new wife and became irritable.

Zhou Wenqing got on the carriage with a tired look on his face, and casually threw the gift he had carefully prepared onto the soft couch in the carriage.

"Sir, where are we going now?" Archie asked.

"I'm going back to Bailu Academy. I won't be back home for the next two days."

"Yes, my lord."

Although Aqi felt puzzled, he still followed Zhou Wenqing's advice and went to Bailu Academy.

Fu Yayun, who was waiting for her husband to return in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, naturally did not wait for her husband to return.

After hearing that he went to Bailu Academy, Fu Yayun got angry and smashed all the decorations in the new house.

"What on earth does Zhou Wenqing want to do? We've been married for a year, and he's been busy with official duties for half the year. I'm his wife, how could he treat me like this?"

Xiu Wen quickly comforted him, "I heard that the master got a promotion. Maybe the emperor asked the son-in-law to do something."

"Have you found out where your husband is right now?"

Xiu Wen said respectfully, "In reply to Madam, I heard that my son-in-law went to Bailu Academy."

Fu Yayun secretly complained in her heart, could it be that there was a little goblin in Bailu Academy who had bewitched her husband's heart? If that was the case, she would not accept it.

She wanted to be in love with one person for the rest of her life and would never allow her husband to take a concubine, so she kept a close watch on Zhou Wenqing.

"Xin'er, make me some chicken soup. I'll go to the academy to visit my husband myself."

Xin'er said respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."

"Xiu Wen, put away the four treasures of the study that I bought two days ago, and prepare some mosquito repellent sachets. The academy is poor, and I am worried that my husband will suffer."

Fu Yayun thought carefully that although she was spoiled, her love for Zhou Wenqing had never changed.

Xiu Wen didn't dare to say more, and said, "Yes, I understand."

After the master and servant prepared everything, they left the champion's mansion.

Old Madam Zhou looked at Fu Yayun leaving and was somewhat dissatisfied after all.

She knew that this daughter of a high-ranking official was naturally precious and valued. Look, she started to act like a spoiled brat after only serving her for a day or two.

If she was just being spoiled, it would be fine, but she also caused Wenqing to not return home. Whenever she thought of this, the old lady felt even more resentful towards Yayun.

*

After the autumn examination, the ministers of the imperial court showed even more trust in Bailu Academy and sent their own children to it.

After all, fifteen people entered the court in the autumn examination, and ten of them were students of Bailu Academy. Therefore, the name of Bailu Academy became more and more famous.

Shi Qing has been busy at Bailu Academy lately and has been leaving late at night. He heard that Concubine Shu and the Emperor will come to Bailu Academy to watch the students' coming-of-age ceremony.

Shi Qing and his students completed the embroidery for the noble ladies who came to see it.

Bailu Academy has a tea room for resting. Every day someone serves cakes or tea, which naturally tastes good.

Shi Qing was preparing tea in the tea room. He first dissolved the candied black plums, then softened the jasmine flowers with tea, and then put everything into the brewed Pu'er tea.

Shi Qing added a little more sugar and tasted it. It was sweet and sour and refreshing, and it was very delicious.

The maid Mingyue asked in confusion, "Miss, what kind of tea is this? I've never tasted it before. It looks delicious, but I don't know how it tastes."

Shi Qing saw through the little greedy cat's thoughts at a glance, and she poured a cup of tea for Mingyue.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

Mingyue drank the tea in one gulp and licked her lips with a lingering aftertaste. It must be said that the tea of ​​her young lady tasted quite special.

It tastes ordinary, but it leaves a lasting aftertaste and can be compared with the best teas in Beijing.

"The tea made by Miss is really delicious, but why did you think of making tea?"

Shi Qing did not answer. It was impossible for her to have nothing to do. This tea was very useful.

"Just doing it casually."

While the master and servant were talking, someone entered the tea room. Shi Qing looked closely and found that the person was the servant beside Zhou Wenqing.

Aqi searched the tea room for a long time but couldn't find any new tea. When he saw the pot of plum soup in front of Shi Qing, his eyes lit up.

"Could I have some of this plum soup?"

Mingyue was about to refuse when she heard the voice of her mistress.

"Of course you can."

As she spoke, she asked Mingyue to pour a pot of plum soup and handed it to Aqi.

Of course Aqi knew that the plum soup did not come from the teahouse, so he took the initiative to give Shi Qing three taels of silver to buy the plum soup.

Unexpectedly, Shi Qing did not charge a penny and gave the plum soup to Mingyue as a gift, and asked Mingyue to help pack the pastries.

"I made the plum soup casually, so it doesn't require any money. Your master and I are actually relatives, so there's no need to be so polite."

Aqi had no choice but to take the silver back and was extremely grateful to Shi Qing. Then he slowly returned to Zhou Wenqing's resting place.

The moon was already high in the sky, but Zhou Wenqing was asleep on the couch, his brow furrowed in worry.

In the dream, there was a large field of crabapple blossoms. It was a hazy dream, but the girl in the sea of ​​flowers was smiling innocently.

She leaned against the wall and reached out to grab the crabapple blossoms. She picked one, but because she didn't stand firmly, she slipped and fell off the tree.

The girl had a sly smile on her face, and the next second, she fell steadily into the boy's arms.

The young man's voice was a little annoyed. "Wan Qingqing, don't you know the danger? What if you fall from the tree and die?"

The girl hugged the boy's neck with a bright smile on her face. Although she was only twelve years old, she was more charming than the crabapple tree.

"I know that whenever Wan Qingqing is in danger, Brother Wenqing will come to my side."

Young Zhou Wenqing gently put the playful little girl on the ground, only to find that the little girl's ankle was sprained and swollen like a steamed bun.

Zhou Wenqing frowned distressedly and began to mutter, "Why are you so careless? You must pay attention to safety next time, okay?"

The little girl covered her ears impatiently and pouted, saying, "I don't want to hear it, you bastard."

Zhou Wenqing shook his head helplessly, squatted down, let the little girl lie on his back, then slowly stood up and carried her on his back towards Yunxi Village.

Along the way, the little girl hummed a cheerful tune, her voice clear and pleasant, as beautiful as an oriole.

"My hair has just begun to fall, and I am picking flowers in front of the door. My lover comes riding on his bamboo horse, and plays with green plums around the bed. We live together in Changganli, and there is no suspicion between the two children..."

This is a line from Li Bai's "Two Songs of Changgan". At that time, the young girl Wan Qingqing only hoped to grow old with the young man in front of her.

Suddenly, the little girl stopped humming and asked softly, "Brother Wenqing, are you serious about marrying me?"

Zhou Wenqing nodded firmly and replied, "Of course it's true!"

The little girl laughed happily, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and then said, "Well, Brother Wenqing, you must keep your word! I will always wait for you."

Zhou Wenqing smiled gently and responded, "Don't worry, Qingqing, I will definitely marry you."

After saying that, the two continued walking in silence, their hearts filled with longing for the future.

"Brother Wenqing likes to study. He might become a top scholar in the imperial examination in the future. I just hope that when you pass the imperial examination, you will still remember your oath."

The handsome young man's ears turned red as he spoke shyly.

"My dear, how can a girl be so out of line like this?"

The little girl didn't want to talk. She jumped off his back stubbornly and walked towards home without saying a word.

"If you don't like me, then I'll go like someone else. Humph, I'll never talk to you again!"

The young man had no choice but to coax the girl and made a promise to her for life.

The scene changed, and it was Wan Qingqing who was assassinated. There was disbelief in her eyes, and when she closed her eyes, tears fell slightly.

In the misty white fog, only the sound of someone singing poetry could be heard.

"Ten years of life and death, I can never forget you without even thinking about you. A thousand miles away, a lonely grave, with no place to turn away the desolation."

The fog dissipated, and a woman dressed in white questioned with a gloomy expression.

"The vows you made have become the sword that kills me. Zhou Wenqing, I will wait for you in the Ninefold Purgatory."

Zhou Wenqing saw the woman's face clearly. She looked like an evil ghost with blood on her face. It was his first wife, Wan Qingqing.

"grown ups……"

Aqi brought plum soup and pastries to the residence on a tray, but found that Zhou Wenqing was asleep. He called him softly, and the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everything around him with confusion in his eyes.

The dream just now was vivid in his mind. If it weren't for Aqi, Zhou Wenqing would not have woken up for a while. Aqi looked at him sweating profusely and couldn't help but worry.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Zhou Wenqing shook his head, frowning, "It's nothing, just a nightmare."

His mind was a little confused for a moment and he felt a terrible headache.

The three words "Wan Qingqing" were clearly getting farther and farther away from him, but now they were tormenting him repeatedly in his dreams, and Zhou Wenqing had no peace.

When Zhao Weiyuan reported to him, he only gave him Wan Qingqing's jade pendant, saying it was the only accessory on her body, and Wan Qingqing could no longer speak.

Zhou Wenqing took the jade pendant and stroked the lines on it, as if he could feel the warmth Wan Qingqing once had. He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, a trace of pain and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"Go out and leave me alone." Zhou Wenqing waved his hand, signaling Aqi to leave.

Aqi left with a heavy heart, but he was also worried that something might happen to Zhou Wenqing, so he didn't dare to go far.

Half an incense stick later, Zhou Wenqing finally came to his senses. He felt a little hungry and took a look at the snacks brought by Aqi, but he had no appetite at all.

However, the bowl of plum soup looked quite appetizing, so he took the plum soup over and took a sip.

The sweet and sour taste spread across his tongue, making Zhou Wenqing feel a little relieved. He closed his eyes and recalled every moment he had spent with Wan Qingqing.
