"You just left without saying anything?"

Yin Qingyan also looked confused. She knew that Tang Yingying called Guanyue away to help her out, but she didn't say anything. Why did she suddenly leave again?

Guanyue nodded firmly, "Well, I'm pretty sure that Miss Tang left when you just closed the door. I just walked here at that time."

Yin Qingyan was even more confused and began to think about whether there was anything wrong before. After thinking about it, Yin Qingyan turned her head and looked at Duan Qing slowly.

"No, don't look at me, I didn't do anything."

Duan Qing had been watching Yin Qingyan's every move. When he saw Yin Qingyan's sharp gaze directed at him, he quickly waved his hands to express his ignorance.

Yin Qingyan didn't believe Duan Qing's words and still stared at Duan Qing. She really couldn't think of any other reason for Tang Yingying to leave without saying a word, except for Duan Qing being an idiot.

"No, shopkeeper, it's really not me. Just trust me this time, okay?"

Duan Qing's face suddenly fell, pitifully, and his tone was almost pleading.

Why doesn't Yin Qingyan believe him? Is he so untrustworthy?

After pondering the expression on Duan Qing's face for a while, Yin Qingyan was sure that Duan Qing was not lying and that Tang Yingying's departure had nothing to do with Duan Qing.

"Did anything unusual happen to you just now?"

Yin Qingyan turned around and faced everyone.

Several other people looked at me and I looked at you, and then shook their heads in unison.

Why is that? Tang Yingying has never been this kind of person? Yin Qingyan still can't figure it out.

Now that it's reached this point, Yin Qingyan doesn't know what to say, so she lets everyone eat while she stands by the window to think about things.

"Duan Qing, come here."

Yin Qingyan suddenly thought of a question. Since it was not Duan Qing who forced Tang Yingying to leave, it must have been Tang Yingying who left. This move itself was abnormal enough, and the only person who could make Tang Yingying abnormal was Duan Qing. Something must have happened between them.

What.

When Duan Qing heard Yin Qingyan calling him, he was not as happy as usual. Instead, he felt a thump and walked over with a wry smile. He could never avoid what was coming.

As soon as Duan Qing came to stand by the window, Yin Qingyan couldn't wait to ask: "Duan Qing, what happened between you and the little bird?"

"Shopkeeper, I..."

Duan Qing was just trying to be vague and try to fool him by denying it, but Yin Qingyan stopped his thoughts.

"It's not that just now, I know nothing happened. Has anything happened to you in the past two days?"

Yin Qingyan quickly and accurately found the crux of the problem.

Duan Qing looked hesitant and very embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should tell Yin Qingyan about that, let alone how to say it.

"In other words, where did you go? Why were you two not there when I was assassinated?"

As soon as Yin Qingyan saw Duan Qing's face, she knew something must have happened, so she thought about using the fact that she was assassinated to force him.

She was just thinking about what happened some time ago, and suddenly it occurred to her that during the time she was assassinated, neither of them had visited her, or even asked.

She didn't care much about this at first, she wasn't hurt anyway, but now that she thought about it, she felt something was wrong. Even if she was fine, it was impossible for these two people not to come see her at the same time.

And recalling the contact between the two today, everything was weird. How could she have thought that there was nothing wrong between them before?

As expected by Yin Qingyan, Duan Qing's face became even more ugly when he heard about Yin Qingyan's assassination.

If he hadn't been completely confused by Tang Yingying's behavior that day and wanted to relax and be completely cut off from outside news for a few days, he wouldn't have found out about it later and regretted it so much.

Even if he couldn't rush to the scene as soon as Yin Qingyan was assassinated, at least he could be by her side to take care of her.

"I guessed it right, right? What happened to you two during that time? Yin Qingyan continued to ask.

"Shopkeeper, don't ask. There are some things that you would be better off not knowing than knowing."

There was pain hidden in Duan Qing's eyes. In this matter, he felt guilty towards Yin Qingyan and knew that he had hurt Tang Yingying. He also felt that he was nothing.

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else, or just ask the little bird."

Yin Qingyan didn't give Duan Qing a chance to choose, so she turned around and wanted to walk out.

Duan Qing had no choice but to hold Yin Qingyan's arm, "Don't go, I just said so."

Yin Qingyan stopped and looked at Duan Qing seriously, waiting for his next words.

"Actually, it's nothing. We just went to a manor on the outskirts of the city for a while, and then Yingying made it clear that I didn't accept it."

Duan Qing did not tell the whole process, but vaguely picked out some key points. He wanted to save some face for Tang Yingying, and also wanted to make Yin Qingyan feel less guilty.

Even if Duan Qing didn't explain clearly, Yin Qingyan could still imagine how much courage Tang Yingying had to muster to confess to Duan Qing at that time, and she could even imagine how much pain Tang Yingying endured after being rejected.

Yin Qingyan wished she could go back to that time and be by Tang Yingying's side, sharing her pain, at least so that she wouldn't feel like she was alone.

But these are still imaginations.

"Shopkeeper, if you feel uncomfortable, let it out and hit it with your fists here."

Duan Qing felt even more uncomfortable and distressed when he saw Yin Qingyan's expression of suppressing pain. He took Yin Qingyan's hand and made it into a fist to hit his heart.

Yin Qingyan didn't use any force and retracted her hand. She wanted to scold and kick Duan Qing, but after seeing Duan Qingman's pain and guilt, she forcibly resisted the urge. She knew that this was not Duan Qing's fault, but only Duan Qing's fault.

It's strange that Duan Qing doesn't like Tang Yingying, but if you like this kind of thing, you can't force it.

"I know, I can't blame you."

Yin Qingyan dropped these words, walked to the dining table, patted Guanyue Xianhua on the shoulder, and motioned for them to follow her.

Both of them glanced at Duan Qing in confusion before following Yin Qingyan's pace.

"The shopkeeper..."

Yin Qingyan waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to say any more.

Tang Mansion

"Shopkeeper Yin, our lady is not here, please come back."

Tang Yingying's personal maid said to Yin Qingyan and Guanyue Xianhua who were standing outside the door.

"I really need to see her in a hurry. Can you ask her to give me two minutes? Just two minutes."

Yin Qingyan used a pleading tone. She thought that Tang Yingying didn't want to see her as before and deliberately sent someone to frustrate her.

The maid was also helpless, "Shopkeeper Yin, the lady is really not here. If it is really urgent, I can tell you something, or ask her to find you when she comes back."
