There are always young heroes who want to overthrow me

This is a room with closed doors and windows all day long. Layers of veils hang from the high beams to the ground, making it difficult to see the interior decoration, let alone where the people living here are. .

Although people came to clean it respectfully every day, Nie Bo always felt that the whole room was filled with a musty smell, but he didn't dare to frown a little, because behind the hanging curtain, Sitting there is the leader of the Nie family—the elder.

No one knows what the elder was called before. Since he took over the mantle of the Nie family, everyone in the family will only call him elder carefully, so that after many years, no one remembers the elder anymore. initial name.

Even if someone still remembers it, who would dare to announce it without respect?

Nie Bo stood silently with his hands down, wondering why the elder suddenly summoned him alone for no reason.

Although he is the number one master of the Nie family, after all, he is just an outsider picked up by the Nie family from the Central Plains nine years ago, and there is no chance to get in touch with the elders so closely on weekdays.

The person behind the curtain remained silent for so long that Nie Bo couldn't help but wonder if the person had fallen asleep.

But of course this is not the case, the other party is probably secretly watching him, for reasons he does not understand.

In the unbearable silence and boredom, Nie Bo couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Even if he was given the surname "Nie", it still couldn't change the fact that he was an outsider, so from the very beginning, Nie Bo was excluded from being a candidate for the next elder of the Nie family.

Among men and women of the same age, the one who has the most hope of becoming the heir of the Nie family is Nie Qing.

Nie Bo used to be happy about this, and even secretly used her force to make some tricks to make her competitors retreat.

But now, when he entered the fixed residence of the elders of the Nie family, he suddenly felt a little shuddering.

If Nie Qing will become like this in the future, then he would rather that the day when she becomes an elder never comes.

In his opinion, no matter who becomes an elder, as long as he lives in this room, he is actually just buried.

He didn't want Nie Qing to be buried, because since the first time he came to Nie's house nine years ago, he had silently fallen in love with her in his heart.

In Nie Bo's mind, he couldn't help but recall the precious moments of getting along with Nie Qing over the years.

Although there are always many suitors around her, she has developed a somewhat arrogant and stubborn character, and she may not have the same feelings for him, but whenever she thinks of him, Nie Bo's mood will be extraordinarily happy.

Just as the corners of his lips rose a little, an old and hoarse voice suddenly broke the long silence.

"You are Nie Bo? I heard that you and Nie Qing are very close on weekdays. Recently, her behavior seems to be a little strange. Do you know the reason?"

Nie Bo was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the elder called him here to ask about this matter.

unusual?

Thinking back carefully, Nie Qing seems to be a bit taciturn these days, and he doesn't really like going out with their peers. He often finds her alone in a quiet trance, as if she has many things on her mind.

However, when someone wanted to inquire about the reason curiously, Nie Qing suddenly became angry, so that now no one dares to inquire about her secret rashly.

Unexpectedly, even the elders of Nie's family, who are high above and rarely show up, would be curious about this matter, and even specially summoned him to ask.

Nie Bo's mood suddenly became more cheerful because of the elder's words just now, and even the stale musty smell in the room seemed no longer so unbearable.

I heard that you and Nie Qing are very close on weekdays...

This made Nie Bo decide to answer the elder's question carefully: "It seems that since she returned from the Central Plains a few months ago, she has a lot of thoughts."

The elder was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Do you want to know the reason?"

Nie Bo couldn't help being startled again, then nodded silently.

He didn't think the elder knew the reason for Nie Qing's abnormality, otherwise he wouldn't have specially summoned him to ask about it.

The other party probably wants to use him to find out the truth. Although Nie Bo is somewhat disgusted by this, it cannot be denied that he is indeed very curious.

"She is going to travel to the Central Plains again recently, and I think the reason should be there, during her trip."

The elder spoke in a calm and rigid voice, and after a short pause, he went on to say: "You are already the number one master of the Nie family, this time you can follow her secretly. Nie Qing is the heir of the Nie family, and may become a The leader of Cheng Nie's family. I don't want her to suffer any harm... I think so do you."

Nie Bo was stunned for a moment. At first he felt an inexplicable sense of panic that his mind had been shattered. Then he managed to calm down and lowered his head, "Yes, I won't let her get hurt. Please don't worry."

In any case, it is better to be able to secretly protect the woman you like than to stay alone in Nie's house.

"Little aunt, I'm leaving tomorrow."

At this moment, Nie Qing was completely unaware of the elder's arrangement, but sat beside a beautiful middle-aged woman with some attachment, and said softly.

The beautiful woman frowned worriedly, as if she wanted to persuade her to change her mind: "Qing'er, you really decided to do this? Don't forget, the Wu family is our irreconcilable enemy."

Nie Qing's eyebrows showed a bit of determination, and said: "I know, but that happened a long time ago, why should it continue to our generation? This is too unfair."

"The rivers and lakes are like this. It has not changed for hundreds of thousands of years. What you are going to do is really..." The middle-aged beautiful woman paused for a moment, not knowing how to describe it.

Nie Qing just replied indifferently: "I just want to seize my own happiness..."

Seeing that the woman still had a worried expression on her face, she stood up again, paced back and forth in the room a few steps, and then said softly: "Little aunt, do you still remember the things you kept telling me?" ?Actually, I envy the third aunt very much. She can get rid of the shackles of the family and live the life she wants. Why can’t I? She was already someone else’s wife back then, but she can still pursue her own happiness. Why am I now? Can't do it?"

The woman was shocked by her shocking remarks, and it took her a long time to say in a trembling voice: "Silly girl...you just met that person once, why do you keep thinking about it so much? You even know what he is thinking, just take yourself like this Isn't it too stupid to gamble with your life?"

There was a strange look in Nie Qing's eyes, and he said softly: "I don't care what he thinks, I just know that I like him. If I don't ask him, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

The woman finally shook her head and sighed, "I can't persuade you..."

Her mind seemed to have drifted to a further place, and it took a long time before she slowly said: "Back then, the third sister also said similar things, and then she left... I have never understood why they are deviant and are not tolerated by the world , but it seems to be very happy. Is this world wrong? I don't understand..."

Although she was much older than Nie Qing, her face was full of confusion, and she looked a little more childish, forming a strange contrast.

Nie Qing gently held the other party's hand, and firmly said: "Rules are also set by people. If someone can set it, someone dares to break it. I believe that I am not wrong. No matter what happens, I will never regret it. "

Knowing that she could no longer persuade Nie Qing, the woman couldn't help but sighed again, and finally said slowly: "Forget it, then you should be careful."

In a daze, it seemed that Nie Qing saw the shadow of the third sister back then, who was equally charming and resolute.

Deep remorse suddenly surged in her heart. If she had had such courage, wouldn't she be so lonely now?

The past is over, I only hope that this junior whom I love can get happiness as he wishes.
