Chapter Twenty-Nine: Why Emotional Beings?
"My sister is back".
Ruan Fangyao opened the door and looked up to see Ruan Fanghua sitting on her bed with a leisurely face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly in displeasure.
"Hello Miss".
The maid behind her, Sang'er, stood respectfully at the door and saluted.
Ruan Fanghua waved her hand impatiently, "You go down first, I have something to say to your young lady." ”
"Yes".
Sang Er responded softly, glanced at Ruan Fangyao worriedly, and finally closed the door helplessly and retreated.
"I don't know what my sister is looking for me."
Ruan Fangyao slowly walked in and sat down, and glanced at Ruan Fanghua, their eyes full of disgust.
"Hmph, even if I treat you badly, who would allow you to dare to look at me like this with such power."
Ruan Fanghua snorted coldly, and in just one sentence, the person in front of the table was relieved of his anger.
"I know you have resentment in your heart, but who made me a concubine, you are a concubine."
Ruan Fangyao couldn't listen to her insult anymore, and sighed helplessly: "Sister, I did what you asked me to do, if my sister was unwilling before, she has now let go of everything, even if the people of Kyoto City respect you as the 'first talented girl', I just ask you not to be so harsh on me anymore, let me live the rest of my life in the house peacefully, isn't it?" ”
"Huh, peaceful? If that's what you think, you're going to go out and find a man? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ruan Fangyao stood up angrily, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Ruan Fanghua also got up and walked over, reaching to his chest and raising the torn lantern in his hand.
"You, how can you touch my stuff without permission."
Ruan Fangyao snatched the lantern, tears gradually appeared in her eyes, she trembled and tried to put those pieces together, but after a long time, only a portrait of a person appeared on the paper, which she stayed up late to draw after returning from the street that night, she didn't know if she would see her again, so she had to draw the appearance of that person to send lovesickness, but why did God be so cruel to her, even this trace of missing was completely destroyed.
"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have known that my good sister had fallen in love with this person!"
Ruan Fanghua patted the table and sat down, slamming off the fragments on it with one palm, if she hadn't happened to see this lantern today, how would she know that Fang Yao had actually seen Lian Qingliu under the circumstances that they didn't know, Lian Qingliu, on the contrary, it was the people of the Lian family, in this life, they were destined to be enemies, so how could she let her sister hide her feelings for him.
"You know who he is, don't you? Sue me! ”
Ruan Fangyao grabbed her hand and roared loudly, completely losing her gentle appearance.
"What if you know, what if you don't know."
Ruan Fanghua sneered, brushed her hand away and walked out.
"Sister! Please, sue me"
That humble plea touched Ruan Fanghua's compassion, she paused and turned her back to Ruan Fangyao, sighed secretly and said: "Lian Qingliu, the prince of Lian Wangfu, my father and the prime minister's faction regard King Lian as a strong enemy, and with their means, one day the Lian family will not die well, so this should not be a good feeling, break it as soon as possible, in order to express his heartfelt feelings to the prime minister, my father has decided to marry you to the prince as a concubine after the emperor's birthday." ”
"No, it's not true, I will never marry!"
Ruan Fangyao stared at her back in disbelief and roared hoarsely.
Ruan Fanghua closed her eyes and clenched her hands tightly, she was stunned for a moment and then opened it, there was no sisterly affection, only endless indifference, "This matter is not up to you, no one can change your father's decision, just stay in the room and make your wedding dress these days." ”
Ruan Fangyao knelt on the ground in despair, her eyes were empty, and she was still holding a few pieces of shredded paper in her hand, when Sang'er came in, she saw this scene, she ran over to support Ruan Fangyao's crumbling body, and said distressedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you, don't scare Sang'er." ”
Ruan Fangyao heard her voice, gradually came back to her senses, smiled miserably, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Sang'er, I'm tired, it's really hard, even the Buddha can't help me."
"Miss!"
Sang Er screamed urgently, only to feel a pain in her chest, Ruan Fangyao closed her eyes and fainted in her arms after speaking.
"Xiaoyu."
Ah Er saw the shadow hidden behind the rockery from a distance, screamed excitedly, and ran towards her.
When Shui Lingyu saw him coming, she pouted in displeasure, and stood up angrily and walked towards the stone path with her back to him.
"Why do you always avoid me?"
Ah Er caught up with her in a few steps and pulled her arm hard.
"You, you let me go."
"I won't let go!"
"If you don't let me go, I'll call someone, let Childe drive you away."
Shui Lingyu jumped in a hurry, struggling to shake his hand.
Ah Er grabbed for a moment, and finally let go, his eyes were a little painful, and he asked her in a low voice, "You, why are you hiding from me?" ”
Shui Lingyu was embarrassed, turned his face sideways and said, "I didn't hide from you, I just have a lot to do." ”
"Obviously, there is!"
Ah Er suddenly roared excitedly, Shui Lingyu trembled, pointed at him and said, "Why are you talking to me like this, if I hadn't taken pity on you and brought you back to Lian Wang's Mansion, you would have died on the side of the road, you know?" ”
"You, didn't you bring me back because of something else?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want?"
Shui Lingyu sneered, as if laughing at his innocence, and caught a glimpse of a warm figure out of the corner of her eyes, she ignored the sadness in Ah Er's eyes, softened her eyebrows, and looked at the person who slowly walked into the pavilion almost obsessively.
Ah Er followed her line of sight, Lian Qingliu was sitting on a stone bench wiping a guqin at that time, that gentle and elegant appearance, no matter how hard he tried in his life, he couldn't learn, no matter how stupid he was, he finally understood something from her eyes.
When Shui Lingyu came back to her senses, Ah Er didn't know when she had left, she pursed her lips nonchalantly, and walked lightly towards the pavilion.
"The Son".
"Cheng'er went out of the house today, didn't she take you with me?"
Lian Qingliu closed his eyes and smiled at her, and several melodious piano tunes popped out from his fingers.
Shui Lingyu shook his head and walked over and sat down on the stone steps at his feet, "Childe seems to be very busy lately, and I rarely see her now." ”
"Is it?"
Lian Qingliu murmured, her soft eyes eclipsed, and the sound of the piano gradually became a little discordant.
"Shizi, what's wrong with you?"
Shui Lingyu doesn't understand the piano, but he can also hear some anger from that tune, is he angry?
Lian Qingliu was stunned, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I haven't touched this piano for a long time, my hands are a little rusty, you have nothing to do, just sit here and listen to me play the piano." ”
"Hmm!"
She held her face in her hands and nodded, her eyes full of smiles.
Ruan Fangyao has been in a coma for seven days, and the imperial doctor in the palace has also prescribed medicine for the symptoms, but the sick beauty is lying quietly on the bed as if she doesn't want to wake up.
"Dad, it's not a way to go on like this, the prince can't wait."
In the study with weak candle flames, Ruan Fangyao held hands and paced around, looking at the person sitting in the main seat with some anxiety.
Ruan Huber thought for a moment, and said with calm eyes: "It's okay for Yao'er to fall in love with others, but she fell in love with that Lian Shizi, if I agreed to this family affair according to her wishes, wouldn't I be doing it opposite to Cheng, but if not, Yao'er has been so dizzy, what should I do, the original prime minister's intention was obviously to marry you to the prince, but you secretly came up with an idea of peach crown Li Dai to hide from the world, you"
"What is my father thinking, how can the prince's mediocre daughter marry him, at this time we have any other way than to marry my sister to the prince? Even Qingliu is a person, we can't mention it, hmph, doesn't he think it's hard enough to hurt his sister. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what the hell should I do?"
Ruan Hubo frowned at her, his face was slightly angry, if she hadn't said those words to Yao'er with more mouths, how would she be in such a situation now.
Ruan Fanghua's eyes flashed, her face sank, and she said sharply: "Daughter, there is a way here." ”
Outside the study, a thin figure stumbled all the way out, kicking down the flower pot on the side of the road with panicked footsteps.
When the two people in the room heard the movement, they looked at each other and smiled secretly.
Long Bo opened the gate of the palace and looked at the tearful man under the stone steps with a calm face.
"Girl, what's the matter with you at such a late hour?"
"Old housekeeper, please, let me meet Lian Shizi, our young lady, young lady is going to die."
Sang'er's tears had blurred her vision in front of her, and she wiped her hands casually and looked at Lombard earnestly.
"Who is your young lady?"
Lomb is a person who is invisible, and his heart is much colder than ordinary people, in a sentence that even Qingcheng once said about him, 'I have not experienced love and hatred, and I am almost ruthless with a heart of stone'.
Sang'er was young, didn't understand the complexity of court affairs, and only wanted to save her own young lady wholeheartedly, choking up and sobbing with tears: "Our young lady, yes, it's Ruan Shilang's little daughter, Ruan, Ruan Fangyao, the prince has seen her before, old housekeeper, please, let me see the prince!" ”
"The prince is not in the house, girl, please go back."
As soon as Long Bo heard the words 'Ruan Shilang', his face became more and more gloomy, the prince knew that their relationship with the prime minister's faction, how could they still have dealings with the people of the Ruan family, it must be some kind of moth from Ruan Hubo.
Sang Er saw that the man had finished speaking and retreated to close the door, she was in a hurry, lifted her skirt and ran up to stop it, but she was still one step later than Long Bo, she was almost desperate, and tried her best to pat the closed Zhu Door.
"Old butler, please let me in, I really have an urgent matter to see the world, please!"
"Girl, please go back, the son of the world will not see you."
Long Bo replied coldly and walked away with his eyes closed.
Sang'er knelt on the ground and refused to leave, Miss's life was in her hands, she must see Lian Shizi today.
"Look, our prince's mansion is about to become a yamen, and someone has come to avenge him."
A chuckle suddenly came from under the stone steps, she squinted and was overjoyed, "It's you!" ”
Lian Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and after seeing that face clearly, he said prettyly: "Where did I have an unjust, false and wrongful case, it turned out to be the little girl in Ruan Shilang's mansion." ”
Feng Gui stood beside her with his hands and asked with a warm smile: "What's the matter, where are all the romantic debts left?" ”
"It's a good debt, but it's not mine."
She shook her head with a smile, took a few steps forward to pull Sang'er up, and patted Zhumen casually.
"I'm back, come and open the door for Young Master Ben."
