Chapter 202: Shameless
Xu Lingchen was stopped by the people of Su Mansion on the way to the next court, and after he was placed in a quiet guest room in Su Mansion, he had to remember why he was here.
There was a slight knock on the door, and he looked back with a faint face, and it was the waiting maid who had withdrawn.
He was the only one left in the elegant room.
I simply sat down at the table.
Because he was hurriedly invited to the Sufu Mansion on the way, he was still wearing the court clothes of supervising the imperial history, even so, the well-fitting court clothes made him more and more masculine and handsome.
There was a steaming cup of tea on the table, Xu Lingchen was busy all day, and he felt very thirsty, so he stretched out his hand to hold the tea and drank it gently; After he had drunk two-thirds of the tea in the teacup, he slowly put the teacup back on the table.
I sat alone like this, and I remembered in a trance that it was not safe for me to come to the door like this.
When it was, he was a little anxious as soon as he heard that Miss Pan, who was also his fiancΓ©e, Pan Jingruo, had accidentally contracted a cold at a banquet held in Su Mansion; It was also because he was worried in his heart, so he came with the servants in Su Mansion without saying a word.
After calming down, I realized that I was not considering what I was doing.
If he and Pan Jing are married, but in the end they are still unmarried, it is not so convenient, if she is not feeling well or something has happened, it should be the most appropriate to inform Pan Fu; But why, did Su Fu send someone to find him?
Xu Lingchen shook the hand resting on the table, and the two sword eyebrows furrowed. He muttered, "...... It stands to reason that Miss Su should not be so bad. β
But I'm not sure, maybe ...... Does it mean something else?
Xu Lingchen thought of this. I couldn't help but look at my white hands, with clear knuckles, slender and good-looking; What came to mind was that day next to the sea shou flower in the full pond, he held the warm little hand of the other family under the yin and yang difference.
Xu Lingchen's handsome face couldn't help but flush.
Speaking of this, he has been pregnant in his heart for a long time, although the eldest girl of Sufu said that nothing had happened, but he was unforgettable. I always feel that I am so irresponsible.
For this reason, I lost my energy for a long time, and I often thought about this in a daze. I couldn't sleep, and the whole person was a little clearer.
Now, as he sat at the table, he couldn't stop his fluster.
ββ¦β¦ It's hard to do it. Miss Su really had other intentions. Just asked me over under this pretense, in fact, he wanted to talk to me again about how to solve the previous matter? β
Xu Lingchen's brows furrowed again, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt, but he felt a burst of numbness in his heart, which made him sit still.
I realized that I had been here for a while, but I didn't even see the master of Su Mansion, and I felt more and more strange about it.
He stood up, but he didn't pay attention to the pestle under his seat. There was a sound of a pestle hitting the ground.
The maid who was guarding outside heard the noise, and asked softly through the door about the situation inside.
Xu Lingchen pursed his lips. I wanted to answer that it was okay, but after thinking about it, I let the maid into the house, and he sat at the table, because of the depression in his heart, a pair of sword eyebrows were frowning, and he looked more and more upright.
He asked aloud: "Is the girl of the Pan family really infected with the cold?" β
The maid lowered her eyebrows and replied yes, Xu Lingchen looked at the expression on the maid's face closely, and there was nothing abnormal, thinking that Pan Jingruo's illness should be true.
Thinking about it made me feel a little more relaxed.
I wanted to ask Miss Su directly where she is now, but when I think of that face, I always feel weird in my heart, and I even have the idea of picking up Pan Jingruo directly; But he felt that for the sake of his future peace of mind, it was necessary to find Miss Su to talk about it again, so he pretended to say in a calm voice: "...... Was it Miss Su who asked you to find me in the first place? Why hasn't she shown up yet? β
The two maids exchanged glances in private, and then said: "The slave maid has already asked the eldest girl to come over, the young master of the Xu family doesn't need to worry, the slave maid will let people urge again." β
Xu Lingchen hummed and didn't say anything more.
The two maids also retreated, and only then did they cover the door, and their faces relaxed.
One of them held his chest and whispered, "...... Just now I almost said that the eldest girl became the second girl, so dangerous, I almost said something that shouldn't be said. β
The other person was more mature, pulled her and said: "The young master of the Xu family didn't know that he was secretly picked up by the second girl guarding outside as soon as he came, and until now he has always thought that we are the eldest girl's people. β
Looking at the entrance of the courtyard again, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, "...... But what the young master of the Xu family said is right, he has been placed in the house for a while, why hasn't the second girl come over yet, isn't it because he was delayed by something on the road? It can't go on like this, if the young master of the Xu family is impatient and insists on getting out of the house, we can't stop it all the time. β
"Why don't I go and see."
The two maids reached a consensus, one of them was about to go down the pavilion corridor, and he saw a few people walking in at the gate of the courtyard, and then looked at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and called in a low voice: "Second girl, you are here." β
Today's Su Nianqing is already dressed up, her face is ruddy, and her mood seems to be good.
Seeing that the two maids greeted her, she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked, "Can the son of the Xu family be inside?" After receiving an affirmative answer, a smile appeared on his lips, and he wanted to go directly into the house, but turned his head and said, "You are all guarding me outside, and no one is allowed to come in." β
After hearing the neat answers of the maids, he gently pushed open the door with a happy face.
The door panel creaked, attracting the attention of Xu Lingchen, who was drilling the tip of the horns in the room.
He raised his head with a pair of calm eyes, and when he saw the girl standing at the door and looking at him with a smile, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, he stood up, and his long figure was immediately unobstructed.
"You are?"
The girl in front of him looked at him affectionately, as if she had known him for a long time. It's a pity that Xu Lingchen thought about it quickly in his mind, but he still didn't remember who that person was.
Xu Lingchen looks good. With a good upbringing, a good family background, and now standing heroically in front of him, Su Nianqing suddenly felt that her vision was really sharp, and she suddenly picked a master.
It could be seen from his expression that he didn't recognize her, and his face couldn't help but stiffen.
I thought again. She hadn't even met him in a serious way, and it was normal not to remember her, so she smiled and closed the door behind her before reporting to herself.
Xu Lingchen saw that the door behind her was tightly closed. couldn't help jumping with his eyebrows, although he felt that it was inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same place, but out of politeness, he still came to a simple greeting: "...... It turned out to be the second girl of Sufu. But I don't know why you're here? β
Su Nianqing's beautiful eyes turned. Her eyes were full of affection, and she chuckled: "My sister will not be able to pull away for a while at the banquet in front of me, and I am afraid that the son of the Xu family will wait for a long time, so I came over to greet you for her first, you shouldn't look down on me, right?" β
Xu Lingchen choked suddenly.
Hearing that Miss Su was so busy that she couldn't take care of herself, she seemed to be relieved, but she seemed to be a little embarrassed - could it be that he was thinking too much? The eldest girl of Sufu invited him this time, she really just wanted him to pick up Pan Jingruo?
That's fine.
Xu Lingchen figured it out here. Immediately remembered serious things in his heart, and said politely: "...... I'm just here to pick people up. Where is the problem of whether you can look at it or not," Speaking of this, Xu Lingchen still paused unnaturally, always feeling that the second girl Su used the word "look" There was a slight ambiguity, he made a gesture, and continued: "I don't know how Jingruo could be so careless and get sick, but it will trouble you." Where is she now? I'll take her away. β
Su Nianqing saw Xu Lingchen get up, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab him, "The son of the Xu family doesn't need to worry, the girl of the Pan family has taken the medicine now, and she is much better." The original intention of the sister was just to let people inform her family and reassure them, not to drive her away. β
Xu Lingchen listened to the words for a while, and then he reacted, "I didn't mean that, I just ......" The words were only half said, but he suddenly noticed that something was swimming along his arm, he looked down, and his fair face immediately changed.
Fang Cai only cared about talking in a hurry, but he didn't notice that the hand of the second girl of Su Mansion climbed up at some point.
He subconsciously looked at the girl's beautiful face, but saw that her eyes were fluttering, very charming, and she smiled very ambiguously. I understood something in my heart.
He shook his hand away in shame and anger, but it was too fierce, and the girl who was still looking at him with affection was thrown out by him, and fell directly on the table beside him, making a big noise.
Xu Lingchen didn't expect it to be like this, he wanted to follow and help him, but he remembered the little hand that he had been uninvited before, so he paused again, and his face turned red.
He turned around in embarrassment, turned his back to her, and said, "...... I also hope that Miss Su Er is self-respecting, you and I are both married people, and you should have accepted thoughts that you shouldn't have. β
After a pause, he said, "If it is convenient for Second Miss Su, take me over to see Jingruo; Otherwise, it is better to send someone to lead the way before me. β
After that, Xu Lingchen stood in place, and found that there was no response behind him, so he pursed his lips and prepared to open the door and go out.
Su Nianqing didn't deliberately not reply to him, it was completely because of this fall, and she was directly stunned.
Who would have thought that one day he would be pushed away by the man he liked?
All she thought about was the scene that had just been pushed away, and what Xu Lingchen said behind her, she didn't hear a word in her ears; When he saw the originally standing Wei An's body move, the muddled head reacted slowly, regardless of the pain caused by the fall, he hurriedly got up, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps and grabbed the man's cuffs.
She argued eagerly, "...... I don't like Situ Nan, and I won't marry him, I'm just forced to be helpless, I, what I like is you! β
Xu Lingchen's body became more and more stiff, and his chest fell together, and he didn't know whether he was shocked or angry.
He tried in vain to shake people away again, but this time Su Nianqing learned a lesson and grasped it tightly, so he had to turn his head and said patiently: "Second Miss Su, you let go first, men and women don't kiss!" β
Su Nianqing shook her head and made up her mind not to let go: "No, Ling Chen, listen to me, I really like you very much, and I only have you in my heart......"
Xu Lingchen couldn't bear it, and his expression was rare and solemn: "Second Miss Su, what happens between you and others has nothing to do with me; Besides, women should be loyal, and you are also a lady, such a ......" lowered his eyes and looked at the little hand that was still holding on to himself, and continued ruthlessly, "Such shamelessness, and you keep saying that you like me, I really can't figure out how you think." Today's thing, if it is spread out, it will have a great impact on your name and even the reputation of the Su Mansion, you better let go as soon as possible, I promise you that you will not say anything, as if nothing happened. β
Su Nianqing was panicked and confused now, and she didn't expect such a result.
She expected that before the incident with Situ Nan, she was once a well-known good lady in the capital, even if Xu Lingchen couldn't remember her for a while, he had always heard of her good name; and felt that if he was compared with Pan Jingruo, whether it was in terms of appearance or temperament and reputation, he would be better than her many times, and a woman like Pan Jingruo could get into his eyes, and he could do it.
As long as he takes the initiative to take a step towards him, Xu Lingchen will not be allowed to bow down under her pomegranate skirt?
But I didn't expect that my sweetheart would say that she was shameless!
She just looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to do, but the strength in her hand was a little looser, Xu Lingchen noticed it, so he pulled his cuffs vigorously, and flashed out a few steps by himself, and distanced himself from her.
As soon as Su Nianqing saw it, her eyes immediately turned red, and her thin white hand was still in the air, but she said in a choked voice: "...... I, I just like you. β
Xu Lingchen's face turned pale, and he unconsciously took a step back, "Don't say it, people who have a marriage contract are not qualified to talk about whether they like it or not." He turned his head embarrassedly, "What's more, I already have Jingruo, Second Miss Su should stop thinking nonsense, it's just a harm to herself." β
Su Nianqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried, she sobbed: "I'm not cranky, I'm sincere, Situ Nan is not my beloved, I'm just forced, I ......"
Xu Lingchen suddenly felt a headache, and immediately touched the door, "I'll leave first if I have something, and I won't disturb Second Miss Su." β
As he spoke, he quickly grasped the latch, and the door was opened, and he rushed out with one mind, but he didn't want a figure to suddenly fall in through the door, and made an ouch sound.
ββ¦β¦β
Who was the person who fell in, Xu Lingchen didn't have time to see it clearly, and when he hurriedly glanced at the two figures standing in front of the door, he almost didn't stand firm because he had a bad face.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said: "Weichen has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of the World." (To be continued......)
