Chapter Eighty-Nine: Thinking Too Much
In the empty pavilion, Su Nianqing sat motionless, with crystal clear tears in the corners of her eyes, she leaned on the pavilion pillar, thinking about what had happened this morning, her expression was a little dull.
First, she was recognized by the wrong person when she got out of the carriage, and she was angry for no reason; met Xu Man'er again, but unfortunately the eldest sister knew that she was not; Then there is Xu Man'er's trouble, and the consequences are the most severe.
let so many ladies know the rights and wrongs of her eldest sister, and she accidentally exposed the fact that she was raised by her aunt, which made her discredited and lose face.
The eldest sister took this opportunity to make another good statement, and even won Xu Man'er's favor, but I am afraid that soon, those unbearable rumors about the eldest sister will soon be replaced by a new round of rumors that are beneficial to the eldest sister.
At that time, the eldest sister's damaged reputation will slowly be restored, and she will be notorious.
In this case, what else does she have to do?
The eldest sister has a bad reputation, but she is a concubine, and there is Su Mansion and Dong Mansion behind her, so the future will not be too miserable; But she is different, no matter how good and dignified she is, she still can't get rid of her identity as a concubine, not to mention that she has an aunt who doesn't know how to treat her?
Auntie, auntie, why are you just an aunt?
Do you know how much I have been wronged because you are an aunt and I am your daughter, and I was destined to be a concubine by birth?
You will never be able to raise your head in front of other ladies.
Why isn't she a concubine...... Or is there anything else that can make you a concubine besides the method that my aunt is working on?
Su Nianqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. I felt helpless and desolate in my heart, and I had an instinctive headache when I thought of my aunt...... If the aunt really chose the eldest sister, then where should she go?
What a miserable fate she should have been!
…… What if you let your aunt disappear?
Su Nianqing trembled. was taken aback by the idea that she suddenly popped up, but her aunt gave birth to her and raised her, how could she kill her aunt?
However, the eldest sister will not let her go, if she lets her aunt deal with herself, then she is the one who dies!
How should she be good...... Su Nianqing's heart was in turmoil.
Thinking that staying in Wangfu any longer is just self-inflicted humiliation. It is impossible to have the mind to enjoy and chat with everyone, so it is better to go back to Su Mansion first.
Then he left the pavilion in despair.
The general walked out of the hanging flower gate of the garden, but saw a long figure standing on one side of the door. Su Nianqing was depressed in her heart, but her eyes lit up when she recognized who that person was.
It turned out to be Xu Lingchen, the son of Xu Youdu's imperial historian.
That's a great handsome son, not only good-looking, but also has a good family background. The future itself is also promising. Like many boudoir women. She is also a young girl with a spring, and she admires him in her heart.
In the past, she had peeked at him from afar a few times, and like now, it was the first time she had seen her face to face, and when she looked at him like this, she found that Xu Lingchen was more upright and handsome than she usually saw.
Su Nianqing's heart was pounding and almost gone, it stands to reason. The sweetheart who is in love is standing in front of her, and she should show it well. But her mind was blank now, and for a moment she seemed to have lost the right to speak, and she didn't say a word.
Thinking about whether his hair bun is messed up, whether his clothes are neat and good-looking, whether the rouge on his face is evenly painted, and whether he looks good in his eyes......
At that time, Xu Lingchen didn't expect an unknown girl to come out of it, and when he saw the slender figure, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed politely with a faint smile.
Su Nianqing blushed and busily blessed her body.
It stands to reason that after a simple polite greeting to each other, Su Nianqing should take the initiative to avoid suspicion, so as not to be looked at by others and cause trouble.
She was blushing and hot-hearted, and she couldn't take a step; Besides, she suddenly had other plans.
Xu Lingchen is a dragon among people, although she has a marriage with Pan Jingruo, it doesn't mean that she has no chance, if the two are seen together privately at this time, and it is rumored that it may be able to promote her and Xu Lingchen, so it may not be impossible to ......
Su Nianqing thought about it, and quietly glanced at Xu Lingchen a few times, if she could really spend her life with him, her life would be complete...... Thinking like this, my heart suddenly beat like a drum.
Just as Xu Lingchen looked at her, she blushed and hurriedly lowered her head.
Xu Lingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, he was really surprised why the girl in front of him had been holding still, originally guessing that she had any difficulties, but when he saw the girl's red cheeks, he realized it, and a trace of indifference and alienation appeared in his gentle eyes.
Another woman who wanted to get close to him.
He is a gentle and elegant person, he will not say anything, after all, the girl's family needs to save face, if he is not merciful, he will hurt others.
Then he said gently: "This young lady, are you waiting for someone here?" ”
Su Nianqing was quick to speak, and hurriedly shook her head, "No ......" was speculating in her heart why Xu Lingchen would ask such a thing, with a hint of hope.
But she didn't want to, Xu Lingchen's next words made her embarrassed.
"I'm waiting for someone here, and I don't want the person I'm waiting for to have any misunderstanding, can this young lady be convenient......" Xu Lingchen's voice was nice and gentle, even if he only said half of the words, the meaning in it was already very obvious.
Doesn't it mean to let her do something convenient just to let her avoid suspicion?
“……”
Su Nianqing was really ashamed and embarrassed, she wanted to paste it, but people wanted to push her away; But on the other hand, it also brings out Xu Lingchen's personality, he is not a man who thinks differently, he is a person worthy of her.
Xu Lingchen said such things, it was impossible for her to stay here anymore, but if she walked straight out of the garden like this, she was afraid that her sweetheart would see her as if she couldn't get along with other people, so she would end up alone, adding a bad impression.
She had to find an excuse to get over before she could feel at ease.
She had an idea: "I just made an appointment with my sister to visit the garden together, but I never thought that when I turned around, there was no shadow of her, so I came out to look for her." ”
Xu Lingchen pouted with a warm smile, "I see, it's ......"
Before the end fell, a voice interjected: "Second sister, why are you here?" I didn't look for you everywhere, but I didn't want to, but you came out of the garden. ”
Xu Lingchen turned his head when he heard the sound, and just happened to see a girl covered in a white veil walking over calmly and generously, with a pair of bright and fluttering eyes smiling crookedly, and it was almost conceivable that there was a decent smile under the white veil.
Not only the girl, but also two acquaintances behind her - Pan Jingruo and Wang Xuan.
The two of them have become today's five-person line, and Xu Lingchen's heart has been relieved a lot; And Su Nianqing, who was still smiling, saw the white gauze girl who took the lead in walking over, and her face changed drastically.
Where the eldest sister appears, there must be no good thing. At this time, she appeared here, and she instinctively began to have a headache.
Don't let Xu Lingchen have any moths in front of her, otherwise, she will really have no face.
couldn't help but glance at him, but saw him smile gently at Pan Jingruo, and frowned lightly and moved his inquiring gaze back to the eldest sister.
Su Nianqing couldn't help but look at her eldest sister.
But she didn't want to, the eldest sister wearing the veil didn't notice Xu Lingchen's gaze on her at all, but her eyes looked straight at her, and the eldest sister smiled when she heard it: "Second sister, didn't we make an appointment to go to the garden?" Why don't you seem to be happy to see me at this time? ”
Not only is she not very happy, but she is simply blamed for coming at too bad time, the garden is just a prevarication she said, how could she really think of going to the garden with her eldest sister? She longed to never see her eldest sister.
But now, she could only walk to her side with a gentle smile, pretending to hold her arm affectionately, to show the deep brotherhood between the two, and said softly: "My sister is naturally happy to see my sister." ”
On the one hand, he wanted to show his knowledgeable and courteous side, so as to leave a good impression in front of Xu Lingchen; On the other hand, he knows that he and his eldest sister have never been at odds, and if he is not satisfied with his appearance, he may not directly refute her face in front of his sweetheart.
She had to be patient.
Of course, Su Nianyu knew what her second sister had suddenly become so well-behaved, what her idea was.
A concubine, but Xiao thinks about the son-in-law of the second-class official family of the imperial court, and she is too self-conscious. Not to mention that he and Pan Jingruo already have a marriage contract, Xu Lingchen is the son of a powerful family, in comparison, he is naturally more visionary, not to mention her second sister-in-law who is only middle-class in appearance, or the first-class official daughter-in-law, he can afford to provoke it.
She appeared in time and the round, but she didn't want other people to see the scene of the Su Mansion maid and Xu Lingchen standing together, after all, it involved the reputation of the Su Mansion.
If the second sister wants to be seen and gossip about the two, so as to spread the news between her and Xu Lingchen, in order to achieve the goal of marrying Xu Lingchen...... It can only be said that she is too naïve.
If this is the case, it is her second sister who is afraid of suffering.
She wanted to see the second sister's ruined appearance, but Pan Jingruo was standing by her side, even if she wanted to watch a good show, she could only do it next time, and she couldn't let the second sister come in front of her.
Fortunately, Wang Xuan and Xu Lingchen have met a few times, and they can say a few words, and the atmosphere is not particularly stiff; As Xu Lingchen's fiancée, Pan Jingruo looked even more shy, blushing and saying a few words, and secretly looked at him from time to time.
If there is no one left or right about them, it will only be an obstacle to the eyes if they stay.
Su Nianyu smiled and made an excuse, and left first.
As soon as Fang turned around, Su Nianyu's smile faded a little, and after walking more than ten steps, he could still feel that there seemed to be a gaze behind him that stayed on his body as if nothing.
She couldn't help but think of the gaze that the man she had deliberately ignored had cast on her.
She was sure that this was the first time she had seen Xu Lingchen since she was reborn, but his eyes were rolling on her from time to time, could it be ...... Does he know her? (To be continued......)
