Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 290

Xia Lian originally wanted to use three wishes to help Qu Yingying get her husband back, but she refused. Qu Yingying didn't want to implicate anyone, especially Xia Lian.

If Xia Lian's life was in danger that day, I would have lived a restless life.

Let Xie Shiyuan handle his own affairs. After all, they were only husband and wife in name only. Her reputation was ruined at the time, and she was engaged to the Third Prince. The Imperial Concubine wanted the Third Prince to take her in as a concubine, but the Third Prince was not happy about it.

Apart from dying to prove her innocence, Xie Shiyuan's proposal of marriage seemed to be a better option for her.

Xia Lian gritted her teeth and said, "I just don't believe it. There's no point in reasoning. I'll go and ask the adults for help." But then she thought of King Li, and she felt unsure. King Li hated being disturbed. He played with his cat every day and gave the rest of his energy to her apprentice.

Moreover, she was here to help Dali Ge get back the demon pill. If people knew Dali Ge's identity, wouldn't it be like tying herself up in knots? If King Li was angry, she couldn't let Dali Ge get involved.

"What should I do?"

Qu Yingying shook her head and said, "I came here today just to see you. Seeing you is good, I am happy too."

"But..." Xia Lian wanted to help the girl, but her ability was limited. She stamped her feet anxiously, "Is there no other way?"

"What happened?" Someone who hadn't seen Lianmei for a long time came over and saw her indignant look, thinking that she had been wronged.

Seeing someone coming, Xia Lian hung her head, looking very aggrieved. People who didn't know what was going on were anxious, "What happened?"

Seeing Xiong Dali, Xia Lian burst into tears, which made the two people beside her at a loss. Xia Lian wiped her tears and said, "What kind of world is this!"

"Miss Xia, my young lady came here today, firstly to thank her benefactor, and secondly because she feels guilty that your good deed that day was implicated because of this. So she has prepared some small gifts, please accept them." The maidservant at the side handed over the gift list.

"No need. I volunteered to save people. I don't regret it. If I hadn't helped that day, there would have been other kind-hearted people."

Qu Yingying took the gift list from the maid and handed it over. "This is a little sincerity from me, please accept it."

He smiled and said, "Everyone has his own destiny. Don't worry about me. This is my calamity. I believe that if you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."

Xia Lian hesitated for a while, took the gift list, glanced at it briefly, and refused, "This is too much, I can't accept it."

Qu Yingying gave most of her dowry to Xia Lian, and there were more things than needed. Xia Lian refused and said, "Take it. This is all I can give."

Seeing that Xia Lian wanted to retreat, Qu Yingying looked at the man beside her. He was really strong and sturdy. She thought that the man who came to rescue Miss Xia Lian must be him. Qu Yingying bowed and said, "I haven't asked yet, what is the name of this brave man?"

"He is..." Xia Lian blushed and took Xiong Dali's arm, "The person who rescued me that day is also my fiancé."

"This is Miss Qu, my friend. She came to visit me today to chat about family matters."

Xiong Dali scratched his head embarrassedly, looking a little silly, and nodded with a smile, "Hello, ladies."

"Since you are my friend, I will treat you well. You guys can chat first. I will prepare the wine and food. Please wait a moment."

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by your sudden visit today."

Xia Lian took them around the Yue Lao Temple and said, "How could it be possible? I am just a fishmonger, but I am lucky to have met and become friends with a young lady from a noble family like you."

"No, it is my good fortune to have the honor of meeting you."

It was rare to see the young lady smiling today. The maid Xiao Cui also smiled and joked, "The young lady was feeling depressed a few days ago. Today, she is much more cheerful after meeting Miss Xia. Amitabha, it is really like the sky is clearing up after the rain. It is also Xiao Cui's good fortune."

The three of them smiled at each other. Xia Lian told them about the danger that happened that day. She really thought she would die in the woodshed.

"I saw the guards all surrounding me. It was extremely dangerous at the time, but Dalige knocked them down effortlessly and carried me away. The princess's face turned pale, but she could do nothing. Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved."

She was more curious about what kind of magic medicine King Li had given her that day, which made her, who was originally on the verge of death, feel much better now.

"I have no choice but to accept the emperor's decision. He has punished Fanghua by making her copy scriptures to atone her sins." Xia Lian felt depressed when she thought of this.

In a short while, Xiong Dali prepared a banquet.

"Since you are Lianmei's friend, I'll toast you a glass. Let's drink it first."

"Okay." Xiao Cui hurriedly stopped the person who was about to drink, "Miss, you haven't recovered yet, drinking is harmful to your health."

"No problem." She was just about to toast Xia Lian.

"Then don't drink it, let's eat the food," Xia Lian said, "that wine is spicy, I'm not used to it." She took another cup and poured a cup of tea for Qu Yingying.

"I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

"OK"

At dusk, Qu Yingying felt a little reluctant to leave, but she was very happy today.

"Excuse me, when are you two getting married? If I am lucky enough, I would like to have a drink at your wedding."

Xia Lian smiled and said, "That's great. I will definitely be with you then. It's a deal."

"A word is settled"

"It's getting late, go back quickly."

"Goodbye"
