Chapter 22: They Heard
"Poof!" the two maids snickered and exited the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the door closed, she heard the pear whisper two words of plums, but it seemed to stop abruptly in the middle of the sentence. With her eyes closed, her consciousness was already hazy, so she didn't think much about it, and fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the door, Lizi and Meizi closed the door and turned around, and saw that the general and Liang Sheng were outside the door, and they were stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to say goodbye to the general at the next moment. The general waved his hand in time, signaling them to keep quiet. The two maids obediently shut their mouths.
The two maids had some confusion in their hearts. I don't know how long the general and Liang Sheng have been at the door, and how many conversations I heard between them inside the door. Just now, the two of them cried and laughed with the eldest lady for a while, and they talked a little bit big or small, and I don't know if the general would be blamed if they heard it.
Indeed, with the ears of the general and Liang Sheng, they were unguarded in the room, and what they said was naturally heard clearly. Moreover, not only what they said in the door just now, but what happened in the account room, they also rushed back and listened secretly outside.
The general waved his hand again, silently signaling the two maids to do whatever they wanted. Then the general and Liang Sheng quietly floated away.
After a while, the general and Liang Sheng came to the study. Behind closed doors, only the two of them were left.
"I'm going to enter the palace later, and Ming'er should be on my way. The general and Liang Sheng did not take their seats, but stood and said.
Liang Sheng nodded and asked, "Do you know when you can return?"
The general shook his head, was silent for a moment, and had a smile on his face.
Liang Sheng also laughed and said, "Blame me for being troublesome." I heard her crying miserably in the room before, so I just thought of rushing into the palace to find you back. Who knew that the two of us came back so quickly, but she was already fine. ”
"You also feel sorry for her. The general said, glanced at Liang Sheng deeply, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You are seven years older than Zhen'er, Zhen'er was only half a year old that year, and I watched you both grow up together." You treat her like your own sister, but I suddenly heard her crying like this, and I was also flustered. That's why you asked someone to spread the word, so I urgently invited the emperor, and the emperor was sympathetic and immediately agreed, so I rushed back with you. She's been like this for the past few days, and she's been crying like this before?"
Liang Sheng shook his head and looked into the general's eyes. In fact, he doesn't need to answer, and the last sentence of the general is not a question. Because they both know that Zhen'er has been getting stupid since she was five years old, and her heart has always been like that of a five-year-old child. Even if she cried in the past, that is, a child played a temper, she didn't understand it, so she never cried so sadly.
didn't expect this serious illness, but Zhen'er suddenly seemed to be a different person. The general and Liang Sheng naturally did not suspect that she had really changed people. She is not stupid, and she understands too much in an instant.
Just outside the door, I heard her do this to the two maids of Pear and Plum, and it made them even more aware of how hard Peaches's death hit her.
It's not that they are indifferent, the general and Liang Sheng do have a trace of pity for Peaches, but more of a kind of gratitude. They felt that it might be Peach's death that stimulated her, so that she suddenly became clear and no longer stupid.
However, she is no longer stupid, and she can no longer be as innocent as before.
"You still stay in the house to take care of her this time, but you don't have to interfere too much. Just now, she did a good job. The general instructed Liang Sheng, and a smile appeared on his face, revealing some pride in it.
Liang Sheng was still reminiscing about the general's previous words. Liang Sheng carefully looked at the general's expression. In the depths of the general's eyes, he saw a trace of helplessness and hesitation.
Liang Sheng's heart suddenly felt a little stuffy, and he slowed down a beat, before he replied with a wry smile: "She doesn't rely on me in the first place, even if I want to interfere more, I can't intervene." ”
"She had just regained her senses, and she didn't remember much of what had happened before. At this time, it was like having a ten-year-long dream, and when I woke up, I was afraid that everything was very unfamiliar to me. I suddenly understood that someone wanted to harm her, no matter how smart her qualifications were, she had the confidence to protect herself, and she was also afraid in her heart, so she naturally didn't dare to rely on anyone easily. She doesn't dare to rely on you for the time being, what about you? Do you want her to rely on ......?" the general suddenly paused at this point and changed his words, "That's it." The emperor is still waiting for me in the palace, so I will enter the palace. There are some things that I don't have a clue about now, so let's talk about them later. ”
After the general finished speaking, he pushed the door and hurried away.
Liang Sheng stood in place for a moment, the feeling of sullenness in his heart was still there, but he was at a loss when he thought about it carefully.
Just now, the general said that his affection for Zhen'er is like his own sister, and it should be true. But when the general said this, it seemed to remind him.
Zhen'er suddenly got better and was no longer stupid, so her childhood marriage contract would not be easily invalidated. Even if the general has a heart, this marriage contract is not something that the general can abolish alone. If the marriage contract is not annulled, then he can't count the things that he will do until Zhen'er and Lu take her away. Looking at the general's expression just now, this matter has not yet been mentioned on the surface, and there is still room for turnaround. After all, even if Zhen'er is no longer stupid, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall with her figure and appearance that has been overly nourished by being stupid for many years, as well as the connotation that she is stupid and empty of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting this year.
However, thinking that there was still half a possibility, that even if Zhen'er was like this, the opposite side of this marriage contract would have to be counted, Liang Sheng's heart suddenly became threazed again.
Liang Sheng was taken aback, even if he had never been close to a woman, he suddenly found that he seemed to have more affection for Zhen'er, and for Zhen'er with such a appearance, he had more affection for him than a simple brother and sister. Since when?
Did Zhen'er, who was no longer stupid a few days ago, pretend to be close to Qiaosheng and call him "Brother Liang"? Or did he ...... earlier
Thinking about it carefully, Zhen'er's figure is perfectly outlined in front of me. He burst out laughing. Her appearance is cute in the eyes of those close to her, and she is only cute in the eyes of those close to her. It was that day that he thought Zhen'er was charming at first glance, but now he only thinks it's funny.
He Liang Sheng is not a big person, but he is also handsome and handsome. In the past, there were many delicate maids in the general's mansion who showed him favor openly and secretly. In all fairness, those maids were much better looking than Zhen'er, but he didn't look at them much either.
Xu Cong has the general's intention, and he also has a heart, so it is better to start the day when Zhen'er is promised to him. At that time, he didn't like or dislike it, but from that day on, he had already regarded Zhen'er's stupid sister as his daughter-in-law one day.
Liang Sheng thought he was transparent and quickly figured it out. Man. Originally, it was said that it was his, but suddenly there was a change, and it may not be his. This feeling of depression is just pure unwillingness.
Shaking his head, Liang Sheng left the study.
It's uncertain now, and he shouldn't think about it. Anyway, during the period when the general left the house this time, he still treated Zhen'er like a sister. If the general didn't finish asking in the end, he had already made a decision. Regardless of whether Zhen'er relies on him or not, he has to do his best to protect her.
It's not that he wants Zhen'er to rely on him like a future husband. Even Zhen'er treats him as a brother, and she can rely on him so much.
He didn't want to see her too strong. Even if she behaves so well and strong today, she can take care of herself and support the maid in the room. is worthy of being the daughter of a general, and she has a feeling of not letting her eyebrows go. No wonder the general was proud to see her side. He likes it in his heart, too. But she is a daughter in the end, and his and the general's care will not be reduced because of her self-improvement.
As for the faint sense of unsteadiness and depression in his heart, Liang Sheng deliberately ignored it. He kept insisting that Zhen'er really shouldn't forget his brother. It's not okay to just keep forgetting. He had to let Zhen'er remember as soon as possible that in this general's mansion, in addition to the general being her own father, she could also rely on his brother.
It's just that he treats her like a sister, and she can rely on him like a brother.
