The moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining.

There are lotus flowers floating in the pond of the courtyard, perhaps because the moonlight is too beautiful, and the lotus flowers that are not stained by the mud in the daytime seem to dare not compete with the bright moon, and the pale pink drawing board is converged, as if it is retracted into the lotus leaf.

A lonely figure stopped in the corridor of the water pavilion, a faint sorrow spread, and the figure looked more and more helpless against the background of the moonlight.

Linglong stood there, looking at the scenery in front of her.

Today, Lin Yue's words rang in his ears, and he couldn't sleep at night, and finally fell asleep, but he kept dreaming.

There was always a man in the dream, and he kept shouting to himself, "Linglong, wait for me." Linglong, wait for me ......"

She didn't know who the man was, she always felt very familiar, but she never remembered seeing him there.

She wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but she chased farther and farther, until she couldn't see the man's figure, and Linglong woke up suddenly.

When she woke up, she couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up, put on her clothes and went to the yard.

Could it be that he was affected by Lin Yue's words today?

Linglong shook her head, she had made up her mind in her life never to marry again. God has treated her well, and also gave her a sister Mei to accompany her, her greatest wish in this life is to cure Sister Mei's illness, and watch her get married and have children and live a happy life.

She can naturally feel the strangeness of the eighth child towards her.

That person was probably because of the accidental contact when he saved himself that day, so he thought about her as the person in charge.

That day, except for the two of them, others only knew that Lao Ba saved Linglong, but they didn't know that Lao Ba accidentally bumped into her **** when he saved her.

In the eyes of the ancients, I am afraid that they have to marry in order to keep Linglong's innocence.

Linglong can feel the kindness of the eighth child, but she can't delay others, so she has been very cold and dazed these days, and she doesn't know about the strangeness of the eighth child.

She only hopes that her practical actions can make the eighth child understand that she is not a good match for him, and she has never thought of remarrying.

Li Zhuoran......

Linglong looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Could it be that the man is you?

Linglong whispered his name in her mouth.

Not far away, the figure of the eighth child stiffened there.

Today, I don't know why, he can't sleep. I woke up and felt bored, and unconsciously walked to Linglong. Suddenly seeing Linglong, the eighth couldn't help but rejoice.

But seeing her sad look, Lao Ba's heart hurt, and he wanted to step forward to comfort the woman not far away.

Who knew that just as he was about to take a step, he heard Linglong's voice.

Li Zhuoran.

He naturally knew that this was Linglong's husband's name. Unexpectedly, after more than a year, she was still grieving for her husband's death.

Lao Ba's heart ached, he stopped, and when he saw a figure next to him, he dodged away.

"Lady." He heard the voice of his mother beside Linglong.

"Why are you up? It was cold at night, so I took a closer look. Mother Tong put the cloak in her hand on Linglong's body.

"I can't sleep, get up and go around." Linglong nodded towards Mother Tong and gathered the cloak on her body, "Woke you up?" ”

"No, people sleep lightly when they get old." Mother Tong shook her head. "Is the lady worried about that guard?"

Just as the eighth child was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by a sentence from Tong's mother. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear that he would miss something because of himself.

"The lady is also going to plan for her future." Tong's mother comforted, "Now that the second master has been dead for more than a year, the lady can't go on like this." ”

In Tong's mother's mind, this woman has no one to marry, and she is not a nun in the temple. Besides, Linglong is only a widow, and she is still a divorced woman, and she has completed her filial piety for her first husband. What Linglong can and can't do has already been done.

"Mother......" Linglong patted Tong's mother's hand, "I don't want to marry again, so I will guard Sister Mei for the rest of my life and cure her illness." Watch her get married again. ”

"How can this be, my good lady." Tong's mother was taken aback, she never knew that Linglong actually had such an idea, "Where is this daughter who is not married?" The lady doesn't know how sad it is for a woman's family to have no man to rely on. ”

"Mom, I know what you say." Linglong said with a light smile, "But I really don't want to marry again." ”

What else does Mother Tong have to say. But seeing that Linglong's mind was firm, he shook his head helplessly, "It's still good for the slave to look at the guard named Lao Ba, if there is no burden in his family, the lady will think about it." ”

"I'm not a good fit with him." Linglong shook her head, "Don't underestimate that he was just born as a guard, can you see that the guard of that family has his bearing?" ”

"You mean?"

"The person who can be entrusted with important tasks by the side of the King must be good." Linglong smiled, "First, I'm not suitable for him, and second, I really don't want to marry again, so my mother won't say anything like this in the future." I didn't have to delay people. ”

Until Linglong's figure disappeared, the eighth child slowly walked out of the darkness.

Square peg?

He never thought that Linglong's eyes would be so sharp, and he saw his identity at once.

As Linglong guessed, his identity is not just a guard of the King of England, he is also the cousin of the King of England, but he is a concubine, and his life was saved by the King of England, so he was begged by the King of England at a very young age to ask the Emperor to be with him.

If it weren't for the protection of the King of England for so many years, he would have died at the hands of that man.

In the past, although he was disgusted with his origin, now he still has deep remorse, he should have broken away from that family earlier, so today after hearing Linglong's words, he is not so discouraged.

Thinking of everyone's face in the family, the eighth child's eyes darkened again.

What she has always liked and longed for is a simple life, and if her family background was simpler, she would have a chance to fight, but now she has no chance of winning.

Lao Ba's heart felt an unprecedented sense of defeat.

Do you have to give up like that?

Thinking of what she had seen and heard these days, as well as her calm apricot eyes, Lao Ba shook his head, how could he be willing!

If she can meet someone better than herself, then he can fulfill it and help her silently behind her back.

Linglong, who returned to the house, lay on the bed and stared at the tent above, hoping that after listening to today's conversation, the man would be able to extinguish this thought, she really didn't want to delay him.
