Frost shines on Qingcheng

Lu Qingrong sat by the desk, a flickering candle illuminated her face extraordinarily brightly, and she finished handling the last government affairs.Rubbing the bridge of her nose, while she was tired, anxiety and worry invaded her heart again.

She seemed to be hesitant, but she finally rolled up the sleeve of her left hand.If you are more careful, you will find that the "mole" on the top of the wrist that Shen Shuang said that day has moved up a bit.

Lu Qingrong took off her veil, and caressed her face with slightly trembling fingers. She closed her eyes. For some reason, in such a quiet time of night, the scenes of the past that had been hidden in her heart for many years always came to mind easily.

"Qingrong, let's go quickly." Jiang Yingshuang took the hand of the young Lu Qingrong, and walked forward without stopping for a moment.

Lu Qingrong is young, she has been on the road since late at night, and now it is almost dawn, how can she bear it?

"Mom, I'm so tired... ah..." With a cry of surprise, Lu Qingrong fell to the ground, gasping for breath, "Can we rest for a while before we go?"

Jiang Yingshuang anxiously wanted to pull her up: "No, it's almost dawn, if your father's people find out that we are not in the bedroom, they will definitely catch up."

Lu Qingrong's eyes were full of tears, and she looked down at her feet: "My feet hurt so much."

Jiang Yingshuang squatted down and looked at it, worried: "Did you sprain your ankle?"

"Why do we have to go?" Lu Qingrong, who had an immature face, sat down on the ground and asked her loudly, her delicate eyebrows were tangled together, and she looked at her mother who stood beside her and looked down at her in puzzlement, "Our home is in the sea of ​​sand. Dad is here, why do we have to leave here?"

Jiang Yingshuang stared at his daughter who was very similar to him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Under the gradually brightening sky, Lu Qingrong looked up at her young, beautiful but sad mother with a half understanding, and said hesitantly and cautiously: "May I not leave?"

Jiang Yingshuang stroked Lu Qingrong's hair gently, and said: "Qingrong's home is here, but mother's home is not here. Shuilan City is my home, and the people who love me and the people I love are all there... "

"My father and I both love you, mother, don't you love me?" Hearing what Jiang Yingshuang said, anxiety and fear began to emerge in Lu Qingrong's immature heart. She had a faint premonition that her dearest mother might be leaving .

"It's different." Jiang Yingshuang shook her head with a smile. She said, "Qingrong's home is here. I was wrong. I selfishly wanted to take you away with me. I completely forgot that Shahai is your home. I forgot that you are here. feelings." Her eyes were misty, and the dim light of the sky was reflected in her black pupils.

Lu Qingrong hugged her tightly, and the familiar smell and warmth of her mother became a sharp weapon to torture her at this moment: "My home is where you and dad are, don't leave me..."

Jiang Yingshuang closed her eyes in pain, her eyelids trembling, and her heart was pierced.

"Mom, shall we go home? Dad will be worried if he doesn't see us when he returns to the city." Lu Qingrong tried to persuade Jiang Yingshuang to turn around with all the reasons he could think of, "The maids in the bedroom will definitely be implicated by this."

The sun is gradually rising, and the brighter sky is constantly reminding Jiang Yingshuang that she can't delay any longer.

"Qingrong, when you grow up, you will understand me." Jiang Yingshuang broke the hands tightly around her waist, "But I can't stay here anymore." She pushed Lu Qingrong away, and strode forward .

"Don't go, don't leave me, mother..." Lu Qingrong completely broke down, and begged those who left far away loudly.She dragged her excruciatingly painful feet, almost scrambling to chase the figure that was getting further and further away.

Jiang Yingshuang just looked back at her, and the momentary pause made her feel heartbroken, but in the end she left.

The yellow desert was blown by the scorching wind onto Lu Qingrong's face full of tears. The originally delicate and beautiful face was instantly buried, leaving only a pair of tearful eyes with a gleam of light.She was so hoarse that she lost her voice, lying on the ground like a clay figurine, blending with the sand.

She didn't seem to remember clearly what happened afterwards, but she only remembered that under the scorching sun, the chaotic voices of people came from far and near, and with the guards' screams, everyone surrounded them.She opened her eyes slightly, and she could vaguely see Lu Yuanzheng's shocked and distressed expression.Later, she was brought back to Sand Sea.

After being in a coma for two days, when Lu Qingrong woke up, she saw Jiang Yingshuang sitting by the bed and guarding her.

Jiang Yingshuang's voice was still gentle and loving, but Lu Qingrong couldn't make any friendly response.

"Sorry……"

Under the bright candlelight, Lu Qingrong heard the words from the person she thought loved her the most.

Who wants your "sorry"?

Lu Qingrong spoke coldly and refused to talk to her again.

After a month of sulking, when Lu Qingrong thought that the matter had calmed down and everyone pretended that nothing had happened, something happened unexpectedly.

There were sounds of arguing in the parents' dormitory, and Lu Qingrong listened outside the door holding her breath.In her impression, her father had always doted on her mother, but her mother's attitude towards her father seemed somewhat indifferent.Even so, the relationship between the two had always been peaceful, and this was the first time Lu Qingrong heard such a big quarrel like today.

"Since you know who the person in my heart is, you should recognize the truth earlier, why do you insist on marrying me?" Mother's usually gentle voice was extremely sharp during the quarrel.

Lu Qingrong clenched her fists, her heart fluttered.

"After so many years, you are still obsessed with obsession." Lu Yuanzheng mocked her, "So what if you go back? Can going back change everything?"

"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will try."

Lu Yuanzheng sneered: "If you don't love me, then you can't even think about loving others. You can never go back to Shuilan City in this lifetime!"

Jiang Ying's chest heaved violently, and his pupils kept shrinking because of fear. Only then did he feel fear towards Lu Yuanzheng, and a tremor could be heard in his voice: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yuanzheng kicked away the vases and sundries that fell on the ground, and approached Jiang Yingshuang step by step.

"Stay away from me!" Jiang Yingshuang picked up the things around him and threw them at Lu Yuanzheng.Most of them were dodged by Lu Yuanzheng, and some hit him, but he continued to approach Jiang Yingshuang as if he was unconscious.

Standing outside the house, Lu Qingrong was in fear, feeling that the situation inside was getting worse and worse, and the maids and guards beside her didn't even dare to vent their breath.Lu Qingrong was afraid, but after all, it was her parents inside, she couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, turning a blind eye.

Lu Qingrong pulled out the sword in the guard's hand, ready to rush in at any time, although she knew that the sword would hurt her closest relatives.

Jiang Yingshuang was almost cornered, and the growing fear in her heart overwhelmed her. She touched a wooden box on the desk next to her, ready to make a final resistance.

"Welcome Shuang!" Seeing this, Lu Yuanzheng's expression changed instantly, and he said nervously, "Put your things down!"

Jiang Yingshuang noticed his nervousness, but she was no longer so afraid in her heart. She raised the box: "What's inside?"

"Yingshuang, listen to me, don't open it. There are evil things inside, very dangerous." Lu Yuanzheng's tone was serious.

Jiang Yingshuang smiled meaninglessly: "Dangerous? Is there a more dangerous devil than you in this world?" She began to lose control of her emotions and asked him sharply.

The more Lu Qingrong heard the more something was wrong, she pushed open the door and broke in.

"It's so painful to be together, it's better to die..." Jiang Yingshuang cried and threw the wooden box out forcefully.

Lu Yuanzheng turned sideways and quickly avoided the wooden box thrown over.The wooden box fell to the ground and was smashed open, and a black worm slipped out of it.Lu Yuanzheng had no time to take care of Jiang Yingshuang, and hurriedly wanted to intercept that weird "black bug".

"Father!" The young Lu Qingrong broke into the dormitory, she was so anxious that she tripped over the messy things on the ground before taking a few steps.

Lu Yuanzheng groaned inwardly, but before he could say anything, he watched the "black worm" quickly escape from Lu Qingrong's fingertips and into her body along the palm of her arm.

Lu Qingrong didn't know what it was at the time, but later she knew it was a kind of Gu.If she is emotional, the Gu worms hidden in her body will cause trouble.After falling in love with Shen Shuangzhao, as her affection deepened, the power of the Gu worm became stronger, and the pain that followed became deeper and more frequent.

Lu Qingrong, who was still young at that time, didn't care about this little bug, but it was also from then on that her heart gradually became cold and unfeeling, and she deliberately covered it with a thick layer of ice. My heart is carefully isolated from the love of the world.

Especially after Jiang Yingshuang's death, Lu Qingrong kept reminding herself not to fall in love, not only because of Gu worms, but also because of the lessons learned from her parents.

In the following ten years, although she was ruthless and cold-blooded, and the men and women she met couldn't catch her eyes, she also became pure and peaceful.It's just that at a certain age, in the quiet night, Lu Qingrong will also wonder what it's like to fall in love with someone.

After thinking about it, she could only smile helplessly.

After being cursed, she probably won't be able to experience the joy without burden in this life, right?If there is, it will be accompanied by painful torture and pain - she is not willing to pay that price.

But Shen Shuangzhao was an accident of her, Lu Qingrong, and she had never noticed that she fell in love with her by accident.If it wasn't for the heart-wrenching pains of a knife at the beginning, when would the indifferent and ruthless woman know herself?

"Dong dong dong..." A knock on the door brought back Lu Qingrong's distant thoughts.

Lu Qingrong collected herself, put down her rolled up sleeves, and covered the black spots on her arms.

"Miss, the city lord just came back overnight from Qingcheng, do you want to go there?" It was Huan Hong's voice.

Lu Qingrong got up and put on the veil again: "Of course I need it, hold the lamp."
