76. Rivals in love
The moment Mu Lingxuan let go of his hand, Yun Ying ran away quickly.
His gaze followed the slender back and ran away, getting smaller and smaller, until it finally disappeared, and then he turned his head and smiled bitterly: "You think I'm joking? Do you know that in my life, the person who dares not joke the most is her! ”
Cheng Tiantian looked at Mu Lingxuan with her mouth open, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
At this moment, this man has long lost his former flying and domineering, and the whole person is as if he has been drained of his soul, and he is completely a sad and frustrated person who is hurt and trapped by love.
This kind of scene, this kind of situation, is really too unexpected for Cheng Tiantian, which shocked her and made her feel a lot of emotion.
It turned out that Mu Lingxuan really liked Yun Ying, no, not just like, it seemed that he was in love with her to the core.
What's going on with all this? Could it be that Sister Yun Ying and Mu Lingxuan have been in love?
However, why did Yun Ying marry her brother again? And Mu Lingxuan had to marry herself? God, what is this marriage based on?
Cheng Tiantian thought about it for a while, but Mu Lingxuan quickly realized his gaffe.
His expression returned to normal in an instant, and he lowered his head to look at Cheng Tiantian, as if asking her opinion: "Go shopping elsewhere?" ”
"Oh, let's go." Cheng Tiantian mechanically agreed, and walked forward with Mu Lingxuan.
The two of them walked side by side in the garden of the General's Mansion, but they really couldn't find more topics to talk about.
Cheng Tiantian was completely absent-minded, and her heart was still entangled in the scene between Mu Lingxuan and Yun Ying just now.
And Mu Lingxuan's heart was even more churning with turbulent waves, which were difficult to calm down for a long time. He was also thinking about Yun Ying, the woman who gave him the most tender love, but finally left him ruthlessly.
He always thought that he couldn't forget her because he hated her betrayal, and in the past three years, he has traveled all over the capital and even the whole country, and he has had so many women with different winds (feelings). He had thought that if he had the chance to see her again, he would have to pay her back twice the pain and shame she had left him.
But when he saw Yun Ying again today, Mu Lingxuan sadly realized that he actually cared so much about her smile that he couldn't bear to say a heavy word to her at all.
The two of them walked silently for a while, and Cheng Tiantian felt bored, so he said, "Go back." ”
"This king thinks this is very good, and then let's go." Mu Lingxuan said indiscriminately.
"I don't believe you really want to shop." Cheng Tiantian pursed her lips slightly.
"Then what do you say this king wants to do?" Mu Lingxuan asked.
"Who knows, I don't dare to guess the prince's thoughts." Cheng Tiantian said lightly, she originally wanted to say that you might want to meet Sister Yun Ying again, but after thinking about it, she finally held back.
She knows the moody habits of this prince, that is really to say that she will turn her face, one moment it is still a beautiful wind, and the next second it may be a storm and thunderstorm. Maybe as soon as he said this, it would be a fuse that caused him to explode.
Thinking about how angry he was when he saw the portrait of Yun Ying yesterday, you can know that some people, some things, he probably didn't allow others to mention in front of him at all. Cheng Tiantian now has to count on him to cooperate well with himself in front of his father and mother to play a loving couple, so it is best to be smart at this time and don't tickle the tiger's body.
"You don't have to guess, this king's mind is to accompany you well today." Mu Lingxuan said.
Cheng Tiantian smiled disapprovingly and didn't say anything more. I thought to myself, since he wants to walk around here more, let him do it, anyway, when he returns to the hall and faces Mrs. Cheng, they have to pretend to be affectionate, and they are not comfortable, so it is better to stay here for a while.
The two of them were in the garden until noon, and Cheng Tiantian estimated that his father and brother should also come back from the next court, so he said again: "It's really time to go back now, it's time to eat." ”
"This hour flies so fast." Mu Lingxuan seemed to sigh slightly, and asked with a smile: "Cheng Tiantian, is the wine in the General's Mansion not prepared enough?" ”
"Wine, of course, my dad has to drink every day." Cheng Tiantian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to suddenly ask this sentence.
"That's good, today this king wants to have a good drink with your family." Mu Lingxuan laughed loudly, his eyes deep and distant.
Cheng Tiantian and Mu Lingxuan returned from the garden, and as soon as they walked to the door of the hall of the General's Mansion, they saw Cheng Wei striding in from outside the courtyard.
"Daddy." Cheng Tiantian shouted excitedly and stepped forward.
"Tian Tian is back." General Cheng saw his newly married baby daughter appear in front of him at this moment, not to mention how happy he was, and a heartfelt smile spread on his face.
Originally, he was born with a majestic appearance, but now he looks at Cheng Tiantian, but his eyebrows are no longer raised, his beard is not curled, and his eyes are full of loving smiles.
"General Cheng, it's time to go down." Mu Lingxuan came over and said hello to Cheng Wei, still polite and distant, without honoring his father-in-law.
"King Jing, go in and sit down." Cheng Wei didn't care about these at all, and enthusiastically let Mu Lingxuan into the hall.
The three of them walked into the flower hall together, and Cheng Tiantian sat beside Mu Lingxuan obediently.
As soon as he sat down, Cheng Wei said: "King Jing, I am a straightforward person, and I never speak in a roundabout way. You can accompany Tiantian back today, to be honest, I'm so happy in my heart. Those things in the past were all the work of our general's mansion, and today the old minister will compensate the prince again, and I hope that the prince will not take it too seriously, and in the future, we will all be a harmonious family. ”
"Tian Tian is the king's new wife, and it is natural for the king to accompany her back to her parents' house." Mu Lingxuan smiled faintly, his eyes looked at the willow trees with green branches and green leaves outside the door, and his voice became a little lower: "As for what happened in the past, this king doesn't remember anymore." ”
Cheng Wei was slightly stunned, and then let out a hearty laugh: "This is very good, Lord Wang, the old minister has long heard that the Lord drinks a lot, but he has never had the opportunity to sit with you and drink." There is a fifty-year-old daughter red in the general's mansion, and today is a rare opportunity, so we will drink here and talk happily. ”
"Hehe, this king is just asking Tian Tian, is there enough wine in the general's mansion? Since General Cheng also has such Yaxing, of course, this king is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and he will definitely accompany the general to have a good drink and rest when he gets drunk. Mu Lingxuan said with a smile.
General Cheng was originally a person who loved alcohol, and today when he saw Cheng Tiantian and Mu Lingxuan coming back in pairs, the relationship seemed to be good, and he was in a good mood for a while. Immediately got up and asked his subordinates to carry the jar of old wine.
When he was in a hurry, Cheng Ziluo walked in the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in the house.
Cheng Tiantian ran over when she saw it, and said coquettishly: "Brother, why did you come back so late today?" I didn't know I was coming back. ”
"Yes, I forgot." Cheng Ziluo smiled reluctantly, and his eyes fell on Mu Lingxuan, who was sitting in the room and was also looking at him coldly.
The eyes of the two men staggered and froze in an instant, and Cheng Tiantian still wanted to speak, but suddenly felt that the room was quiet. There seemed to be a strange tension flowing around him, and even the air seemed cold.
I saw Cheng Ziluo and Mu Lingxuan looking at each other gloomily, their eyes were full of murderous chill, and their eyes were as fierce and fierce as Xiao Li's flying knife.
Cheng Tiantian just watched from the side, and he could also feel the feeling of a sword confrontation between the two.
Seeing this scene, a layer of embarrassment appeared on General Cheng's joyful face, and he coughed heavily and said: "Ziluo, King Jing is a guest here, and he is also your brother-in-law, why don't you even know how to say hello?" ”
"Brother-in-law?" Cheng Ziluo sneered slightly, walked over and said to Mu Lingxuan, "Lord Jing is a distinguished guest, welcome." ”
"Hehe, this king is accompanying his beloved wife back to his parents' house, and General Cheng doesn't need to be so polite." Mu Lingxuan seemed to have a smile on his face, but that smile was even colder than Cheng Ziluo's, and his eyes were shining with flames that could devour people.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng walked in, and General Cheng hurriedly said, "It's all ready in the kitchen, let them serve the food, and we will have a good drink today." ”
Several people sat at the table one by one, and the maid and servant came in with a tray of fish, and took turns to present dishes and snacks.
Seeing that Yun Ying hadn't come over yet, Cheng Wei frowned slightly and asked Mrs. Cheng, "What's the matter with Yun Ying?" ”
Mrs. Cheng said: "I've been busy all morning, and I haven't seen anyone with her yet. ”
At this moment, a maid walked in and said to General Cheng and Mrs. Cheng: "Master, madam, the young lady said that she was a little unwell, so she didn't come to eat." ”
The atmosphere froze again, Cheng Wei and Mrs. Cheng glanced at each other, and the expressions of both of them were a little complicated.
"You go to the room and take care of the young lady." After a pause, Mrs. Cheng said to the maid.
Cheng Wei's brows furrowed a little tighter, he wanted to say something but finally didn't say anything, and waved his big hand to the person sitting at the table and said, "Come on, come on, let's start." ”
Cheng Ziluo stood up: "I'll go see Yun Ying." ”
After that, without waiting for General Cheng and Mrs. Cheng to speak, he strode out.
Cheng Tiantian keenly felt at this moment that the man sitting next to him had a darkened face.
"Leave him alone, let's eat first. Peach, come and pour wine. Cheng Wei watched his son's back walk away, and didn't want to care about it, so he ordered the maid standing on the side to pour wine.
At the mahogany table, which was full of dishes, there were only four people sitting and eating.
Even though Mrs. Cheng warmly beckoned Mu Lingxuan to eat more from time to time, General Cheng began to drink and chat with Mu Lingxuan with great interest, but Cheng Tiantian always felt that there was an indescribable coldness at this seemingly lively dinner table.
