Chapter 159: Unwilling
Qi Yu's gentle smile was like the gentleness of spring flowers when they bloomed, but when they fell on Liang Yuan's eyes, they were like snowflies in winter, although she didn't know what his reason for doing this was, no matter how she thought about it, she wouldn't classify it as the word "kindness".

Liang Cheng didn't look in the direction of Jiang Chao, she just saluted Qi Yufu with Zhong Qing again, and then turned around and left directly, regardless of whether Jiang Chao followed or not.
"You third sister is really arrogant and rude. After Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing and their party left, Zhou Feiwei leaned into Liang Ji's ear and whispered angrily.
"She's still young, so you don't want to be like her. Liang Ji was helpless with a wry smile, with a helpless look at the rude and willful little sister, Zhou Feiwei, who was already jealous and hateful, was even more angry at this time.
"What if you are young? Can you talk to His Royal Highness Qi Yu like this at a young age, His Royal Highness Qi Yu has already been so polite and polite to her, but look at what kind of attitude she has?"
As long as Zhou Feiwei remembered that when Qi Yu faced Liang Cheng just now, her handsome face was as gentle as spring water, and she felt a burst of sour anger in her heart, and she wished to scratch Liang Cheng's porcelain-white sick face.
"Feiwei, be cautious. Liang Ji looked at Zhou Feiwei, who was already angry, and said lightly.
"Hmph, be careful, what I said is the truth. ”
Zhou Feiwei didn't care at all, and the other people around them also listened to the gradually louder voices of the two at this time, and several of the aristocratic ladies looked at Zhou Feiwei with a little disdain in their eyes. And Liang Ji, who happened to be face to face with Zhou Feiwei, reflected all these disdains that Zhou Feiwei couldn't see, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
At this moment, Liang Ji's smile was very beautiful, just like the smiles that Zhou Feiwei had seen in the past, she had always thought that Liang Ji was very good to her, like a gentle and considerate big sister, but if Liang Ji was here at this time, she would definitely look at Liang Ji's smile, and it would definitely be a cold hair.
But it's a pity that at this time, Liang Cheng has already walked away from Jingfei Garden, and now she is still walking forward without looking back.
"Sister Liang, let's go slowly. ”
And Zhong Qing, who was following behind Liang Yuan, finally couldn't help but speak out to stop her. The reason is not that she can't keep up with Liang Cheng's speed, on the contrary, Liang Cheng's speed of using all her strength is nothing to her, but Zhong Qing looked at the little face that was getting paler and paler, but she was really afraid that Liang Cheng would fall suddenly.
"I'm fine, let's go faster, it's better to hurry to the Red Bridge. ”
Liang Cheng didn't want to slow down, she just wanted to reach the Red Bridge quickly, and then quickly part ways with the people behind her.
It's just that Liang Cheng forgot how weak her body bones are, and it can't make Liang Cheng do whatever she wants. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Qing was so frightened that he and Nian Xiang hurriedly reached out to support the girl who suddenly leaned forward.
"Sister Liang, are you okay, do you want to matter?" Zhong Qing looked at Liang Cheng who was gasping for breath worriedly.
"No, it's fine. ”
Liang Cheng originally wanted to wave her hand to reassure Zhong Qing, but now she doesn't even have the strength to raise her hand, if it weren't for Nian Xiang, who is familiar with Liang Cheng's body and bones, to know, her own young lady is just out of strength at this time, so Nian Xiang looked extremely calm and took out a small porcelain bottle from Tianshui Biyao from her arms, and poured out a qi nourishing pill from it for Liang Cheng to take, so that her complexion improved, it is estimated that Zhong Qing would have to ignore and let people go to the Shen family for help.
"Get out of the way. ”
Zhong Qing and Nian Xiang were both stunned, and both of them were a little overwhelmed by the sudden cold voice. But they didn't need to react, a slender hand came from behind, and when Zhong Qing and the others were still stunned, Liang Cheng had already been hugged.
Nian Xiang was shocked and hurriedly turned around to look, but what made her even more shocked was still to come. I saw Jiang Chao, who had been silently following Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing, actually hugged Liang Cheng and sat next to a concubine embroidery tree at this time, and let her half-lean on the tree like that, while Jiang Chao was extremely familiar with holding Liang Cheng's hand to help her press Hegu.
After a while, not only Nian Xiang, but even Zhong Qing could find that Liang Cheng's face had become better, but her eyebrows were also wrinkled more and more tightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. ”
No matter how reluctant Liang Cheng was, she was indeed helped by Jiang Chao, so in the end, after Liang Cheng finally had the strength to retract her hand, she still stared straight at the ground and thanked him.
"No, I don't. But Jiang Chao was only silent for a while, and then said coldly.
Next, the two of them were silent for a while, and Zhong Qing and Nian Xiang next to them saw it, and they also quieted down for a while.
Zhong Qing doesn't know much about the affairs between Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao, just like most people, she just knows that Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, because of the deep friendship between the Shen family and the Wang family, so Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao have known each other since they were very young. Even when they were just young children, there were still rumors that these two had already quietly decided to be married.
Of course, this kind of rumor now seems to be untargeted, but if you look at it from another angle, you can also know how the two of them have no guesses.
Presumably how different they were back then from what they are like now.
Zhong Qing stood quietly more than ten steps away from Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao, looking at the two with some sighs. But Nian Xiang, who was quietly standing on the side with her, did not have such a leisurely and emotional time at this time.
At this time, Nian Xiang was quite anxious to look around, she was afraid that someone would suddenly appear at this time and show Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao the ambiguous scene that seemed to be very close to each other.
At that time, there will be an inextricably linked, untidy and messy relationship between Liang Cheng and Jiang Chao, and that is really what kind of rumors will be spread by others. And Nian Xiang and Zhong Qing are also a little different in that she knows that her young lady doesn't want to have anything to do with the second son of the Jiang family at all.
is different from Qingzhu, Nianxiang's mind is extremely meticulous and steady, although her time by Liang Yuan's side is not as good as Qingzhu, but it is not short. In this short period of time, Nian Xiang accompanied Liang Cheng and met Jiang Chao more than once or twice.
But only from these few meetings, even if Liang Cheng didn't say much, Nian Xiang could already clearly know what kind of thoughts his young lady had for Jiang Chao.
If you don't want anything, you will be involved!
Liang Cheng's evasion and dodging of Jiang Chao is really clear, and the behavior of almost trying to clear up the relationship between the two is almost the same as the second son of the Jiang family, although Nian Xiang doesn't know when it started, but in her memory after being promoted by Liang Cheng as a big girl, it has always been like this.
In the past, the second son of the Jiang family was unwilling to get involved with the third lady of the Liang family. And now, they finally don't want to be involved with each other anymore.
"I'm fine, don't worry about Gongzi Jiang, isn't Mrs. Jiang still waiting for Gongzi Jiang to go over at Hongqiao?"
The first sentence that broke the silence after a while turned out to be said by Liang Yuan, she is still very weak now, and her body is just handed over to the concubine embroidery tree behind her.
Jiang Chao didn't speak, and when she shouted "Jiang Gongzi", the peach blossom eyes were just clear, and then they calmed down again.
The silence continued to spread, and Liang Cheng had no strength and didn't want to speak. She leaned back slightly with her eyes closed, allowing Jiang Chao to look at her coldly, and after a while, after the paleness on Liang Cheng's face faded a lot, Jiang Chao suddenly got up, "Since Miss Liang San is fine, then I'll go first." ”
"Hmm. Liang Cheng finally opened her eyes, but in the end, she still only lowered her eyelashes.
The slender young figure slowly walked away under the bright moonlight and hazy light, the concern in his eyes just now was real, Liang Cheng knew, but so what? She knew him too well, in his heart, no matter how many times he did it again, the prosperity of the Jiang family would always be the first thing he put first.
For this, he can sacrifice everything and abandon everything.
As long as someone says that the Jiang family of the Marquis of Chu Huan's Mansion is only where it is today because of the nepotism of the Wang family, then the Jiang Dynasty can draw a line with her without hesitation. As long as someone said a word, he Jiang Chao was just because of the Shen family's Mingyue's appreciation and wanted to recruit Chenglong as a quick son-in-law, so that he could enter the eyes of the Shen family Yi Yuan, and he could turn a blind eye to her more and more. As long as......
He is Jiang Chao, then she knows it, and she will never look back.
Liang Cheng's eyes were still sour, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. It's bitter in the mouth, but it can't be solved.
It's like back then, she was crazy on the night of his concubine, and rushed to their yard to make a mess, but in the end, when she saw his long hair draped, his clothes slightly open, and his peach blossom thin lips moist and red, she was just like now, the violent heartache suddenly disappeared, and all that was left was the sour eyes that could no longer cry.
And at that time, Wang took her hand and complained that she didn't understand women's morals, which was also a memory that she could not forget.
She didn't know at that time, she didn't know that the person who let Wang Shi nod and let Jiang Chao marry her when everyone spurned her was her mother, she was grateful at that time, and she only thought that her father still loved her, and thought that Wang really still cherished her, thinking that ......
She thought she had a lot, but when she finally learned the truth, the grievances she had willingly suffered in her previous life for these self-made smart thoughts suddenly turned into heart-wrenching irony.
There's no going back.
She didn't want to go back for a long time.

"Childe, what's wrong with Miss San, why is she so cold to you? Doesn't she know that on the night of the Yanguan in Qingzhou, if it weren't for you, how could Miss San get away with suspicion so easily. ”
On the way to Hongqiao, the scholar beside Jiang Chao kept thinking about it in pieces, and was extremely indignant for Liang Ming's indifference to Jiang Chao.
"Really?" Jiang Chao was expressionless.
Liang Cheng is the daughter of Liang Sixuan and Shen Mingyue, even if he didn't show up that night and let her return to Bitong Kaiyun one step earlier, in fact, the result will not change much, at most it is just to let others chew more tongues, and other people who dare to take practical action against Liang Cheng are afraid that there is no one. After all, if the Liang family and the Shen family were angered, no one could afford the consequences.
Especially the Shen family!
If it is said that Old Man Liang and Liang Sixuan will still take care of Emperor Wen's face and listen to Emperor Wen's orders, but the Lanling Shen family is not like that. If the old lady of the Shen family is angered, then her old man will not give face to anyone. What's more, Emperor Wen is also still the younger generation of Old Madam Shen, if it wasn't for Concubine Meng begging in front of Old Madam Shen, then it is still unknown whether Emperor Wen can sit on the throne in the end and stabilize the court situation so quickly.
The Shen family's power in Xiyin and even the world is heavy, and in this troubled era, the Jiang Dynasty is very clear.
Otherwise, how could their Jiang family have a foothold in Jian'an just because their mother and Shen family Mingyue were friends?
Jiang Chao tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling, but a girl's figure appeared in his amorous peach blossom eyes. But unfortunately, it was only in an instant, and when the breeze blew, all that was left in his eyes was a piece of coldness.
Jiang Chao walked towards the red bridge without looking back, he didn't think about Qi Yu's behavior of insisting on bringing him and Liang Cheng together just now, and he didn't need to think about it. Anyway, no matter what Qi Yu is for, as long as it doesn't get in his way, it doesn't matter.
"yes, it doesn't matter. ”
With a light sigh, she drifted lightly in the wind, and Liang Ming, who was still leaning on the concubine embroidery tree, looked up at the stars in the sky, flickering and flickering, and she suddenly felt a little tired.
"Sister Liang, you ...... Are you okay?" At this moment, Zhong Qing could only ask this sentence.
"It's fine. Liang Cheng nodded slightly, in fact, the discomfort was long gone, but Liang Cheng still didn't want to move, some memories were a nightmare as long as they were recalled.
Liang Cheng struggled to calm down, and finally cheered up and said to Zhong Qing: "Sister Zhong, I'm really sorry just now, my body suddenly felt unwell, I hope it didn't scare you." ”
Zhong Qing frowned, "Sister Liang, what are you talking about, you are not feeling well, how can I be scared, it's too late to worry." Sister Liang, are you dissatisfied with me when you ask this?"
"Naturally, no. Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing with a little apology, "Sister Zhong, I didn't mean that." ”
"That's fine. Zhong Qing didn't let Liang Cheng continue to explain, she looked at Liang Cheng who was sorry and smiled: "Are you better, can you go?" or let's go back to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion, there is also a doctor waiting there, we can just let them help you check your pulse when we go back." Although there is no major problem now, it is better to let the doctor take a look. ”
"No need. Liang Cheng refused without thinking about it.
Just kidding, Jiang Chao just went over there, if she goes over here, maybe she will run into it again, it will inevitably be embarrassing to each other, or try to avoid it if you can avoid it, Liang Cheng thought for a while and said: "Sister Zhong, I'm really fine, it's just some old problems, and now I go to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion just to worry my mother, I don't want to go back." ”
"Then Sister Liang, where do you want to go?"
"We're not going anywhere, let's just rest here. ”
Liang Cheng really didn't want to move, but Zhong Qing shook her head and said, "No, Sister Liang, this is the only way to go to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion and the Red Bridge, we will meet many people here, let's choose a new place to meditate." ”
If Zhong Qing didn't mention it, Liang Cheng really didn't realize that this was a main road, people came and went, and their group of people didn't become someone else's scenery? Liang Cheng hurriedly helped Nian Xiang to stand up, "What Sister Zhong said is, then let's choose a new place, it's true that I was negligent when people come and go here." ”
The two smiled at each other again, and then walked in a random direction, but what Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing didn't notice was that behind them, there were always people following them, and when Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing changed direction and left, a figure was immediately pulled out of the flowers and went to Jingfei Garden.
At this time, in Jingfei Garden, there was no change because of the lack of a Jiang Dynasty.
The person who dominates the atmosphere here now is not Zhou Chenying, but Qi Yu. As long as he is still here, there will be no time for these gentlemen and noble sons and gentlemen gathered here to disperse.
"Your Royal Highness Qi Yu, come, I will toast you, I heard that you have recently obtained another Ru kiln treasure, which really makes us envious. ”
"That is, His Royal Highness Qi Yu is really a person who is blessed with great fortune, and he can actually get the treasures of the Ru kiln of the previous dynasty, which is really envious of these mortals such as me. ”
"Come, Your Highness Qi Yu, we toast you. ”
Sentences of flattery are endless around Qi Yu, and Qi Yu also accepted them with a smile, he smiled at everyone and said: "That's just a fluke, where did you come from, and today's protagonist is not me, it's Chen Ying, don't make a mistake about the object of congratulations." ”
"Yes, yes, we all know that today is Chenying's big day, how can we make a mistake! Come, Chenying, we toast you and celebrate that you have finally tied up your crown." ”
Qi Yu just said a casual word, which made Zhou Chenying's surroundings full of people again, and in this way, Zhou Chenying, who had been paying attention to Liang Ji, had to turn to deal with the people who surrounded and came to toast, so he didn't see Qi Yu's burning gaze when he looked at Liang Ji, and Liang Ji's shy and soft face.
"Sister Liang, what's wrong with you?
Zhou Feiwei, who had been staying by Liang Ji's side, felt a little strange when she looked at Liang Ji's suddenly cloudy face.
And in any case, Zhou Feiwei will not be able to associate Liang Ji and Qi Yu, because one is a person who has a mutual promise to her eldest brother who doesn't need to say much at all, and the other is His Royal Highness Qi Yu, who has been in love with her for a long time. How could Zhou Feiwei associate her two most trusted and favorite people together?
So even though Qi Yu's gaze was a little too hot after three rounds of drinking, Zhou Feiwei still didn't suspect Liang Ji at all.
Compared with Zhou Chenying, who has been surrounded by people to toast, Zhou Feiwei has always thought that Qi Yu is hers. When she suddenly turned her head shyly, when she found that Liang Ji's face was blushing and gorgeous, she thought that Liang Ji was uncomfortable, so she asked with concern.
"No, I'm not sick, it's just a little hot. ”
Because of Zhou Feiwei's sudden concern, Liang Ji had to withdraw the gaze that was hanging on Qi Yu, and smiled at Zhou Feiwei very naturally: "Feiwei, you don't have to worry about me, but the person you sent to follow my third sister has come back." ”
"Not yet. ”
As soon as she said this, Zhou Feiwei suddenly became a little angry, "I originally planned to teach her a small lesson this time, but since she is so arrogant and rude, then don't blame me for being rude." ”
As long as she remembered Qi Yu's enthusiasm for Liang Yu just now, and Liang Cheng's almost indifferent attitude towards Qi Yu, Zhou Feiwei was so angry, especially after Liang Ji's persuasion, she not only did not lose her anger, but felt that Liang Cheng treated Qi Yu with disdain at all. And as long as she dares to despise His Royal Highness Qi Yu, she will not let it go.
"Feiwei, why are you so stubborn, don't you know what kind of person my third sister is? At this point, if you can't bear it, it won't be good if you lower your head anyway. ”
Liang Ji said softly to Zhou Feiwei as if persuading, but after she finished speaking, Zhou Feiwei became even more angry.
"Why do you want me to put up with it? If you want me to bow down to her? Zhou Fei said slightly angrily: "Besides, this is the mansion of the Zhou family of the Qingguo Mansion, and she wants to spread wild on my territory, which is really beyond her strength." ”
"Feiwei ......"
Liang Ji actually wanted to persuade Zhou Feiwei a few more words, but at this moment, she saw that Zhou Feiwei's mother-in-law who was sent to follow Liang Fei Wei came back, and the words that had already arrived in her mouth were swallowed back instantly, but she lowered her voice a little more and said to Zhou Feiwei: "Feiwei, it seems to be back." ”
"What's back?" Zhou Feiwei couldn't react for a while, but when she followed Liang Ji's line of sight, she saw that the person she had been waiting for finally came back.
"How is it, where did she go, did she run back to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion or the Red Bridge?" Zhou Fei asked eagerly.
"No, Miss Liang San neither went to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion nor went to Hongqiao with Jiang Gongzi, the third miss didn't seem to be feeling well, so she didn't go with Jiang Gongzi, but after resting for a while halfway, she went in the opposite direction with Miss Zhong. ”
"Where's that? ”
"I don't know where Miss Liang San and Miss Zhong are going, but the direction they are walking is the direction of the Remnant Yang Xiaolou. The woman reported respectfully, and with her answer, Zhou Feiwei's expression was a little confused at first, but gradually she was pleasantly surprised.
