The sudden question caught Lu Hong off guard, and his face turned red in an instant.

Knowing that Ling Xiao couldn't see it, Lu Hong still looked away with a weak heart, and coughed unnaturally: "Cousin Xiao, why did you suddenly ask about this." ”

Ling Xiao's ears were sensitive, and he followed the voice and looked at Lu Hong: "I have my own intentions when I ask this." Cousin Hong just needs to answer me. Do you like Auntie? ”

Like!

Of course I do!

He fell in love with her at first sight, and he tossed and turned for her. I thought hard every day, just to see her more. Occasionally say a sentence or two, and my heart will be happy, and I will be in a good mood all day.

Ling Xiao waited patiently, and after a while, Lu Hong mustered up the courage to nod. Thinking that Ling Xiao couldn't see it, he hummed again.

Ling Xiao wasn't surprised.

He couldn't see with his eyes, but he still had a keen sense of hearing. Every time Ah Shu is mentioned, there will be irrepressible excitement in Lu Hong's voice. When they met, no matter how cold Ashu was, Lu Hong was happy.

What else could it be if you didn't like it?

"Today, on my grandmother's birthday, there are a lot of guests in the house. Ah Shu wants to greet the guests, and now when she goes to the garden, even if she sees her, she has no chance to speak. Ling Xiao lowered his voice and smiled: "After the luncheon, the troupe will start singing, and I will quietly call Ah Shu to Qiushui Pavilion." Don't alarm others, come alone. If you have anything to say, just talk to Auntie! ”

Lu Hong was both surprised and delighted: "What you said is true? Cousin Xiao, you didn't lie to me! He had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her alone in private, but unfortunately he had no chance. I didn't expect Ling Xiao to take the initiative to bring up this matter today.

It's just a good thing that the sky has fallen.

Ling Xiao nodded with a smile.

Lu Hong grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and said incoherently excitedly: "Cousin Xiao, thank you." You've been so good to me. ”

Ling Xiao grinned, but secretly thought in his heart. I'm not doing it all for you.

Ah Shu has been thinking a lot lately, and I don't know if it's because of Lu Hong. Instead of dragging it out so ambiguously, it is better for the two of them to face each other to make it clear. If Ah Shu is also interested in Lu Hong, everyone will be happy.

If the falling flowers are intentional, the flow of water is ruthless, and it can also make Lu Hong die early

A high stage was set up in Ling's mansion, and the most famous troupe in Dingzhou City was specially invited.

Many tables and chairs were placed next to the stage. The men and women sat on one side, talking and laughing in a low voice while watching the play, which was quite lively.

Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan sat together, didn't know what they whispered, and looked at each other and laughed together.

"Cousin Shu is really amazing, it's only been a few days, and I'm so familiar with Cousin Yan." The sourness in Ling Jingxian's words couldn't be hidden: "People who don't know may think that the two of them are sisters!" ”

She and Ling Jingyan had an unpleasant quarrel at first, even if they wanted to get closer, they couldn't pull this face down for a while. Seeing that Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan were intimately friends, he was inexplicably indignant in his heart.

Ling Jingwan smiled: "It's rare for Cousin Yan to go back to Dingzhou to live for a few days, and I guess I should return to the capital soon." No matter how good Cousin Shu is with her, it is impossible to follow her to the capital. What do you have to worry about. ”

It makes sense.

Ling Jingxian's mood suddenly calmed down a lot, picked up the pastry and put it in her mouth, and watched the play.

Staying in the inner house all day, there are very few opportunities to go out as guests, and the faces that come and go every day are those faces, and what they do is nothing more than reading, embroidering, playing the piano, painting and the like. Today's opera troupe sings, and everyone is excited to watch it.

On the stage at this moment, a white and handsome martial artist stood with his head held high, holding a long knife, majestic. Another funny-looking clown, somersaulting as he ran, drew bursts of cheers and cheers.

Ling Jingshu is quiet by nature, she has no interest in listening to dramas, and she gossips with Ling Jingyan without a match.

The maid Jingyu quietly walked over and said in a low voice: "Miss Nine, the young master doesn't want to stay here because he is tired of listening to the drama." Let you accompany him back to Qiushui Pavilion! ”

Ling Jingshu did not doubt him, and immediately responded with a smile

Ling Jingshu stepped into the Qiushui Pavilion with a smile and shouted, "Ah Xiao." ”

Ling Xiao disappeared, but an unexpected handsome face came into view, with a smile on his eyebrows, warm as a spring breeze: "Cousin Shu." ”

It's Lu Hong!

Ling Jingshu's smile suddenly disappeared, and her voice became cold: "Why are you here?" What about Ah Xiao? "Could it be that he came after Ling Xiao?

Lu Hong hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "It was Cousin Xiao who specially asked me to come here and wait for you." ”

Ling Jingshu: ""

Ling Xiao, what is this going to do?!

Ling Jingshu frowned, and a not-so-wonderful conjecture crossed her mind: "Why did Ah Xiao ask you to come to see me?" ”

Her disgust and indifference were like a basin of cold water poured down, extinguishing most of Lu Hong's joy and excitement. The smile on his face was also slightly stiff: "Cousin Xiao is also kind, he wants the two of us to have a chance to be alone for a while and talk for a while."

"No need!"

Ling Jingshu said coldly: "There is a difference between men and women, and you always have to avoid suspicion under the melon field." Besides, we don't know each other at all, so I don't think there's anything to say. You leave first! ”

Lu Hong couldn't laugh anymore, and the words hidden in his heart rushed out: "Cousin Shu, what did I do wrong?" Why do you hate me so much? Never say anything to me? ”

Why?

Ling Jingshu tugged at the corners of her lips, there was no smile in her eyes, and she ordered without looking back: "Bai Yu, you go to the door and guard, and don't let anyone in." ”

Today, there is an opera troupe singing in the house, and all the maids and women have gone to join in the fun. Now the Qiushui Pavilion is empty. Bai Yu carefully closed the door and stood guard outside the courtyard gate.

Lu Hong stood under the verandah, and Ling Jingshu stood in the courtyard. The two were separated by a distance of about three meters, far away from each other.

The long-awaited solitude suddenly became a reality. But Lu Hong's heart swayed and sank.

Ling Jingshu, who had never looked at him properly, finally raised her beautiful, bright and clear eyes today, and stared straight at him: "Lu Hong, the question you asked me just now, I will tell you the answer now." ”

Lu Hong wanted to say something, but he couldn't help himself.

"You didn't do anything wrong." Because you haven't had time yet.

"I can guess what you think of me. However, I don't have half a relationship with you. So, I don't want you to be misunderstood. ”

In this life, I will never repeat the mistakes of the past, and I will never be moved by your tenderness and affection again.

Ling Jingshu's tone was very calm, and there was no usual disgust in her eyes, as if she was looking at an irrelevant stranger.

Such a calm is even more hurtful than the previous indifference and disgust.

Lu Hongjun's face turned slightly pale, and he forced himself to calm down: "Cousin Shu, the two of us have been together for a short time, and you are not familiar with my character and temperament. It's reasonable to be wary of me. ”

"Like your siblings, I lost my mother when I was a child. I know that I don't have the taste of being a mother, I have studied hard since I was a child, and I hope to get ahead as soon as possible in the imperial examination. Before I met you, I had never paid attention to girls of the same age, let alone thought about lifelong events. But when I met you in the garden that day, I fell in love with you at first sight. These days, I try my best to get close to Cousin Xiao, also so that I can take the opportunity to see you a few more times. Cousin Xiao saw my thoughts, and specially created an opportunity for me to be alone with you and show his heart. ”

"I've thought about it. After today, I will tell my father and mother about the relationship between the two of us. If the heavens have mercy on me, I have the honor to marry you, and I will definitely be wholeheartedly devoted to you in this life. ”

"If you don't believe, I'll swear to heaven now. The emperor is above, I, Lu Hong, love Ling Jingshu, and this love will not be unswerving in this life and this life. If I violate this oath, let me thunder and thunder, and I will not die well. ”

A young man with a handsome face, he poured out his heart affectionately.

This scene is enough to capture the hearts of all the girls in the boudoir!

In her previous life, she was intoxicated by such tenderness and affection, and she delivered a heart lightly. trusts and relies on him wholeheartedly, with a full vision for the future, married into the Lu family, but who would have thought that in just a few years, he would change his mind! abandoned his wife, stayed in the capital, and never returned to Dingzhou.

She fell into such a miserable situation because of him!

Huge hatred and intense pain stirred in her heart, and Ling Jingshu's voice was also sharp and excited: "What you think is your business, and it has nothing to do with me." I don't have a crush on you, and I've never had the idea of marrying you. When you're done talking, let's go! ”

All of Lu Hong's expressions froze.

A sincere confession, in exchange for an indifferent refusal. No one can face it calmly. What's more, under Lu Hongsi's polite appearance, there has never been a lack of superiority among the children of the family and the pride of the young man

Lu Hong pursed the corners of his lips, suddenly strode over, and stopped only two steps in front of Ling Jingshu: "What is wrong with me, why do you hate me so much and refuse to give me a chance at all?" ”

He has a good background and a good father, he is the eldest son of the Lu family, and he will be the head of the Lu family in the future.

He has been smart since he was a child, never forgetful, and is very talented in reading, and he has a reputation for showing talent early. The future is limitless.

He gave birth to a good looks, good demeanor and temperament, and is a beautiful boy praised by everyone.

With him like this, how could Ling Jingshu not like him at all?

Lu Hong couldn't suppress the surging emotion, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her hand. As soon as he touched her fingers, he didn't have time to hold her long, soft hand into the palm of his hand

Ling Jingshu's face turned pale suddenly, her whole body seemed to spasm, her heart swelled with strong nausea, she staggered back a step, and then vomited with a wow.
