I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 156 Yunyan leaves

Lao Ba looked at the clouds in the sky and recalled the past few days. Maybe he was really too persistent. He had lived two lives, but he still couldn't let go?

Lao Ba couldn't help but smile bitterly, but it only lasted for a moment. Soon, he returned to his normal smile. He didn't want to make Yunyan sad when they were about to separate!

Lao Ba: "Yan'er...why do you never ask about me?"

Yan'er, who was eating snacks, suddenly stopped, not knowing how to answer Lao Ba's question. She didn't ask because she was afraid that if she knew too much, she would be even more reluctant to let go, and she was also afraid that what she asked might not be what she wanted to hear!

Yunyan swallowed the snack in her mouth, picked up an apple and ate it, then said nonchalantly: "Because I don't want to hear things I don't want to hear, and I'm afraid I will hesitate. Besides, there are some things that even if I don't ask you, if you want to tell me, you will tell me naturally. If you don't want to tell me, why should I ask you? Wouldn't that make us both feel embarrassed?"

Lao Ba: "If you don't ask me, how do you know that I don't want to tell you?"

Yunyan: "Are you sure you want to discuss this issue with me tonight!"

Lao Ba: "Don't you want to talk about this?"

Yunyan turned her head to look at Lao Ba, smiled and shook her head, and said, "Not really, I just think you should have a lot of things to ask me, Yinsi..., what questions do you have for me?"

Lao Ba raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked up at the sky. His luck today was not very good. He could not see a sky full of stars, only a few.

Lao Ba: "There aren't many stars today, but I can count the few that are here!"

Yunyan also looked up at the sky and said with emotion: "Yes! Not much, nothing compared to that day!"

Lao Ba and Yun Yan both fell silent. They didn’t ask the questions in their hearts because they knew that no matter they asked or not, the result was already destined to be like this, so they might as well just let it go!

Lao Jiu and the others who were under the eaves felt very strange seeing Lao Ba and Yun Yan sitting on the roof without talking. Lao Jiu was so anxious that he was about to jump up and down. Ever since what happened that morning, Lao Ba had simply ignored them!

Lao Jiu raised his head and looked at Lao Ba and Yun Yan on the roof. He felt like his neck was about to fall off and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the back of his neck.

Lao Jiu complained, "Hey... Lao Shi, what do you think Bage wants to do? He has been acting strange lately! He has been too quiet. I always feel like something is going to happen!"

Lao Shi: "How should I know what Bage wants to do? Alas... If I knew, I wouldn't be standing here!"

Thirteen: "Nineth Brother, Tenth Brother, let's go! Don't be a nuisance here. If Eighth Bird sees us, he will probably scold us!"

When Lao Jiu heard what Shisan said, he was very disgusted and thought that Shisan was really too timid!

Lao Jiu: "Thirteen, if you want to go, go by yourself. I told you two a long time ago not to follow us, but you insisted on following us. I warn you two to be quiet. If you are seen by my starling, I will definitely throw you two out!"

When Thirteen and Fourteen heard what Old Nine said, they were speechless for a moment. They thought that this brother was really terrible. No wonder their Royal Father always scolded him as a troublemaker!

Thirteen and Fourteen looked at each other, and Fourteen shook his head as if to refuse. His curiosity had not been satisfied yet, and he didn't want to leave so soon!

Thirteen had no choice but to watch from the side. He had to help his fourth brother keep an eye on Fourteen, otherwise if Fourteen got into trouble, Fourth brother would be the one to suffer.

Lao Ba: "Yan'er...!"

Yunyan: “Hmm…!”

Yunyan didn't hear Lao Ba's voice and felt very confused. She turned around and looked at Lao Ba. She happened to see the affection in Lao Ba's eyes and the same doting smile on his face as always!

Yunyan asked curiously, "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly call me? You called me, but I didn't say anything!"

Lao Ba raised his hand and hugged Yun Yan's shoulders, and Yun Yan also leaned on Lao Ba's shoulders. The two of them sat quietly on the roof, no one spoke? Enjoying this rare warmth!

Early the next morning, Lao Ba, Lao Jiu and others stood on the city wall, watching Yun Yan's departing back.

Lao Jiu and the others looked at Lao Ba's calm face and began to feel vaguely worried in their hearts. They always felt that this calmness was the calm before the storm!

Lao Jiu asked in confusion: "Myna..., didn't you look for her for five years? Why did you let her go?"

Lao Ba is not as calm as he appears, and only he understands his pain.

Lao Shi also asked in confusion: "Yes, Brother Ba, why didn't you keep him? Even if Brother Ba can't marry her for the time being, we always have other ways! Can't we let her suffer for a while?"

Lao Jiu and Lao Shi felt that Yun Yan was too heartless. She knew that they, the mynah brother, had done so much for her, yet she just left without looking back. Lao Jiu and Lao Shi watched Yun Yan ride away on her horse without stopping or looking back!

Lao Ba looked at the flying dust on the road and felt his eyes were very uncomfortable. He could only blink twice, then he tried to smile and said, "Why should I let her suffer? I can't bear to let her suffer, why? Can't I give her the best? Then I will let her go!"

Yunyan was not as ruthless as Lao Jiu and Lao Shi thought. She just didn't dare to stop because she knew that if she stopped, she would not be able to leave. Yunyan remembered what Lao Ba said to her last night!

Lao Ba: "Yan'er...love and freedom cannot coexist. If you like freedom, then I will let you go! I just hope you can be happy! As long as you are happy, then my letting go is worth it!"

A tear rolled down Yunyan's eyes, but she didn't show any mercy in the end and rode her horse towards her dream place.

Yunyan: “Gee…, gee…!”

The Ninth and Tenth Olds really couldn't understand what the Eighth Old was thinking. He was obviously so persistent, but now he let go so easily.

The tenth brother looked at the eighth brother with a complicated expression and asked tentatively: "Eighth brother... are you willing to give it up?"

Lao Ba laughed at himself, and said, enduring the pain in his heart, "Whether I am willing to let go or not, what does it matter? If I am not willing to let go, will Yan'er stay?"

Lao Jiu: "Brother Ba, I don't know what you are worried about. With your ability, it is easy to keep Yunyan here. Why do you give up so easily? What is the point of your persistence in the past five years?"
