Fantasy: The opening pushes the ages

After Zhou Mu came out, he went straight back to the city.

In the original inn, he saw Su Yuan who was waiting anxiously.

Seeing Zhou Mu, Su Yuan rushed over immediately, and asked anxiously, "Has Xuan'er been rescued?"

But seeing that there was nothing behind Zhou Mu, he still didn't give up, thinking that he put it in a safe place.

Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "I'm here to tell you this."

He first calmed down Su Yuan's emotions, and then continued: "Don't worry, the situation inside is a bit beyond my expectation."

"I know the location of the cottage. Those bandits are all like human beings. I don't know where they hid Xuan'er."

"That is to say, there is no hope at all?"

Su Yuan's complexion paled little by little.

Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "There is hope, but it may take some time. By the way, I heard that the Ye family has already agreed to marry the sheriff's mansion. Is it true?"

Su Yuan said: "It's true."

Even though he didn't want to believe it, it was indeed the truth.

"Since that's the case, then we don't have to worry about Xuan'er's safety."

"Why?" Su Yuan looked puzzled.

Zhou Mu said: "The Ye family has already reached a deal with the county guard's mansion, so it's only a matter of time before Xuan'er is released, but I heard another thing, Cao Lun, the leader of the bandits, seems to like Xuan'er, Once the Ye family lets go, the group of bandits will probably make a fuss."

"But if that's the case, I'll know where Xuan'er is."

After these few words, it seemed that a path had been cleared, and a smile finally appeared on his dignified face.

Su Yuan was stunned when he heard that.

But seeing Zhou Mu's confident appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little more hopeful in his heart.

Now, he pinned all his hopes on Zhou Mu.

……

Ye Fu
With a haggard look, Ye Ming walked out of the room where he had been locked up for several days.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, his eyes were dazzled by the long-lost light. After a long time, he slowly got used to it.

Looking up, looking at the light that dazzled his pupils, before he recovered, he let out a long breath, and finally a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

He looked at the woman beside him.

This maid who has been with him for more than ten years.

Although she is a maid, in his opinion, she is like a real sister.

It is even said that he got to know Xuan'er because of her.

"Sister Yu Qing, long time no see."

Yu Qing is a gentle girl.

She is a few years older than Ye Ming, and she is in her prime now.

Seeing the pain from childhood to adulthood, Yu Qing's eyes were red with a puff, she suppressed crying and said: "Young master, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have changed, but it hurts my heart."

"Sister Yu Qing, you are not good, you are crying."

Ye Ming joked with a smile.

Afterwards, he comforted the latter, and after the latter's mood stabilized a bit, he asked, "Has Xuan'er been released?"

Yu Qing hesitated for a moment. When she looked up, she saw Ye Ming's extremely bright eyes in the vicissitudes of life. She knew that the latter wanted to tell the truth.

She said: "No, the master has ordered that Xuan'er will be released only after you and Miss get married."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Ye Ming's mouth. As a father, he had his mind under control.

"Forget it or not, it's just a fateful ending without a cause."

The words came out along with the tears.

Seeing this, Yu Qing felt very distressed, but for her who was only a maidservant, she had no ability to change the situation in front of her, and she had no other choice but to watch it happen.

"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't know each other, and you wouldn't..."

"Sister Yu Qing, I should thank you." Ye Ming looked at Yu Qing seriously. At this moment, he looks like a big boy who grew up overnight.

"Thanks to you, I know that there is another emotion called love in the world. I am also a person who has loved vigorously once. In this life, I am not a loss."

As Ye Ming said, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked like a little boy who had eaten a lollipop, showing the most innocent smile.

But this smile was swallowed up by reality bit by bit.

Seeing this, Yu Qing felt even more distressed, and even more regretful in her heart.

At this time.

Ye Mu suddenly appeared.

That Yu Qing quickly restrained her expression, lowered her head indifferently, and made the most dignified expression.

Ye Mu just glanced at Yu Qing, and then looked at Ye Ming.

There is a somewhat condescending attitude.

"father."

Ye Ming yelled as if nothing had happened, just like before.

But he knew that they could never go back to the past.

Ye Mu nodded.

He frowned.

I always feel that this father is a bit different from the previous one, but he can't say exactly what is different.

He sighed, took out a complete small wooden box from his cuff, handed it to Ye Ming, and said, "This is Wu Ying's token of love for you, keep it."

Ye Ming put it away numbly, held it in his hand, and opened the wooden box with a dull expression, even when he saw a beautiful handkerchief inside, his expression was still calm.

That feeling is like completing things step by step without any feeling.

On the handkerchief, a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered.

Mandarin ducks playing in the water represent the most restrained and strongest feelings of a woman.

Wu Ying undoubtedly likes Ye Ming.

But Ye Ming's love for Wu Ying is just like that of a little sister, and the kind of care that a brother takes for his sister.

"do not like?"

Ye Mu raised his eyebrows.

"I like it very much." Ye Ming barely held up a smile.

Seeing this, Ye Mu just sighed helplessly, and said: "It's fine if you like it. The county magistrate and I have already set a wedding date, and there are three days left. It's a good and auspicious day. I'm ready to prepare, but I don't want to see you like this." Decadent look."

After speaking, he turned around and his figure disappeared immediately.

Ye Ming was disheartened.

The whole body is cold, like falling into an ice cave.

"Am I really... going to get married?"

He looked down at the handkerchief in the wooden box that symbolized the woman's strong feelings, and tears fell on it drop by drop.

As the breathing became heavier, Ye Ming's fingers holding the wooden box became whiter.

"Why don't you make it clear to Ms. Wu Ying that if it's the one who regrets the marriage, there may be room for maneuver." Yu Qing said.

But in this way, it is very likely that Wu Ying's feelings will be hurt, and for a woman who has not left the cabinet, this is undoubtedly the most devastating blow.

"Forget it... Since I have promised, I can't hurt her." Ye Ming took a deep breath, and he looked at the handkerchief with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes.

He has always known the little girl's feelings for him, but at that time he thought it was just his sister's dependence on her brother, but who would have thought that...

He couldn't bear to hurt this little sister.

Ye Mu had already made it clear to him that if he didn't get married, then Su Xuan'er would be imprisoned in the cottage forever. For a girl, every day was a torment.

"Xuan'er... After all, we are still destined to have nothing to do with each other. I am content with the years I have spent with you."

Tears ran across his handsome face.
