Lin Zhaoyan didn't know how to speak.
Lin Ruoyan took the lead and said: "What else is there for, how good can her sister be if she can do that kind of unsightly deed!" ”
"What's the shady thing?" Zhou Wanyu's eyes widened even more, "Sister Yuxue, what's wrong with Sister Yuxue?" ”
Qin Yuxue's pregnancy has always been tight-lipped to the outside world except for the people of the Qin and Lin families, so in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a love story that Qin Yuxue is willing to be a second room and marry a lover for love madness, but now this story has become embarrassing because of Lin Jue's departure from Beijing and Qin Yuxue's serious illness.
It is even more impossible for a boudoir lady like Zhou Wanyu who doesn't listen to anything outside the window to know.
As soon as Lin Ruoyan wanted to speak, Lin Zhaoyan stopped her in time, "Beware that the wall has ears." ”
Then he said to Zhou Wanyu: "Why don't you go to us and talk?" ”
The pergola of Jian'an Hou Mansion is not only large, but also the layout inside is exquisitely arranged, and there are compartments.
Xiao Qi's consideration has always been thorough.
Zhou Wanyu bit her lip and thought about it, and finally nodded, "Okay!" ”
Her originally bright mood was instantly lonely because of Lin Zhaoyan's words, so that she kept her head down when she walked on the road, obviously not in high spirits.
Lin Zhaoyan glanced at her several times, and a sense of powerlessness arose, she was too busy to take care of herself now, and she really didn't have any energy to bother others, but Zhou Wanyu ...... After all, it's not a bystander.
She was her friend.
They soon arrived at the pergola, and Chu Wen was very happy to see her return safely, and respectfully saluted her. For a while, he forgot to salute Lin Ruoyan and Zhou Wanyu.
Fortunately, neither of them was a person who cared about etiquette, but curiously shuttled her gaze back and forth between Lin Zhaoyan and Chu Wen.
They also saw that something was wrong.
Lin Zhaoyan coughed in embarrassment. Hurriedly taking the matter with him, he led them into the pergola.
It was very strange for Lu and Liu to see them come back so soon.
Lin Zhaoyan explained that it was too noisy outside, so he decided to come back to talk.
Lu and Liu had no doubts. Lu Shi smiled and said: "Little sisters always have something to say, and Zhao'er has always liked to be quiet, so let them go to the inner room to catch up with the past!" ”
Lin Zhaoyan was wondering when the Lu family had become so understanding, and heard her say again: "Bring Sister Jin in, we adults must also find it boring for a child to talk." ”
Lin Zhaoyan's gaze fell on Lin Jinming's expressionless face, and only then did he understand what the Lu family meant.
Since Lin Jinming agreed to marry the prince of Duanwang, the whole person has become extremely quiet, and it can even be said that he is withdrawn, as if he wants to be isolated from the world.
Lu may have been frightened by her change, for fear that she would do something stupid again. I want her to have as much contact with people as possible and talk more.
Lin Ruoyan couldn't help muttering, "We don't welcome her!" ”
Lin Zhaoyan thought about it carefully, and felt that Qin Yuxue's affairs were known to the whole Hou Mansion, even if Lin Jinming was there, it didn't matter, she didn't want to offend the Lu family in public, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Even if the eldest aunt doesn't say it, we will also call the third sister." ”
Lu's face was immediately overjoyed.
Lin Jinming also glanced up at her, and when he met her smiling eyes, he immediately lowered his head and returned to his expressionless appearance.
waited into the inner room, without waiting for Lin Zhaoyan to speak. Lin Jinming took the lead and said: "You say yours, you can be when I don't exist, I just don't want to listen to their foul words outside, so I just took the opportunity to hide in and try to be quiet." Rest assured. I'm not going to eavesdrop on you. ”
After she said this, she ignored the reactions of the three of them, and went straight to the red sandalwood couch in the corner of the room and sat down. He picked up a book that was placed on the mahogany table beside him, and looked at it carefully.
There are also a few windows in the pergola. She happened to be sitting by the lattice of the window at the moment, and the shimmering sunlight was shining in. With the cool breeze of early summer, Lin Jinming wore a smoky willow-colored Ruan Yanluo long skirt, which seemed to have suddenly faded away from the youthful and immature, brutal and domineering, and grew into a gentle, modest, well-read and courteous girl.
Lin Zhaoyan looked at her strangely, including Lin Ruoyan, who was a little unable to react, in her impression, Lin Jinming had never been such a good person.
What changed her?
Lin Zhaoyan didn't think much about it, and quickly pulled Zhou Wanyu to sit down on the table and chair on the side, and began to get to the point.
"Qin Yuxue married my eldest brother to do the second room, you know the way, right?"
Zhou Wanyu nodded solemnly, "Sister Yuxue told me a long time ago that she has a very loving person, but it is difficult to be together, I used to encourage her, but I never knew that the person was your eldest brother......"
"That person isn't my big brother." Lin Zhaoyan interrupted her words.
Zhou Wanyu was stunned.
Lin Ruoyan couldn't wait to say: "She had a child in her belly before marrying my eldest brother, and it wasn't my eldest brother's at all!" ”
Zhou Wanyu's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and it took a long time to find a trace of her thoughts, "How, how is it possible?" ”
How could a well-informed and empathetic woman like Sister Yuxue do such a thing?
"How could it be!" Lin Ruoyan snorted disdainfully, "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, if it weren't for my sister-in-law's clever design to force her to tell the truth, my eldest brother would have been harmed by her!" ”
Zhou Wanyu was still incredulous, "Then who will the child in her womb be?" ”
She stared at Lin Zhaoyan, hoping that she could give her an answer.
Lin Zhaoyan looked at her eyes that were originally as clear as glass, and at this moment they were covered with a faint mist, just like a jade pendant that had accumulated into ash for a long time, becoming no longer so transparent and shiny, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Wan Yu, you guessed it, didn't you?" ”
Zhou Wanyu's face turned pale in an instant.
What did she guess?
What did she guess?
Brother Qin Chang? No, it won't, it's simply impossible!
She glared at Lin Zhaoyan, pulled the corners of her lips and laughed twice, "I don't know what to say." I don't know anything. ”
"Wanyu, don't make a fool of yourself anymore." Lin Zhaoyan closed his eyes. I couldn't bear to see the pain and despair in her eyes, "This one thing." I have already reminded you that now that Qin Yuxue is pregnant, I can't allow you to escape anymore. ”
Zhou Wanyu stood up suddenly, "I don't believe it!" ”
Lin Zhaoyan raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, "Believe it or not, it's all true." Wanyu, don't be obsessed anymore. ”
Lin Ruoyan watched the conversation between the two of them playing dumb riddles, and scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, "What the hell are you talking about?" What to believe or not? ”
But no one paid any attention to her.
Zhou Wanyu still stared at Lin Zhaoyan, with unwillingness, grievance and despair in her eyes.
Lin Zhaoyan also stood up and stepped forward to hold her hand, "Wan Yu, there are thousands of good men in this world, why do you bother to ......"
"I'm about to marry him." Zhou Wanyu said softly.
Lin Zhaoyan's hand trembled.
Zhou Wanyu had already collected her emotions, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Sister Zhaoyan, I know that you are for my good." But as I said before, emotional things are like people drinking water and knowing that you are not me, and you are not him. You won't understand. ”
"Wan Yu ......," Lin Zhaoyan wanted to say more.
Zhou Wanyu had already withdrawn her hand, lowered her eyes and said quietly: "I'm going to ask him, I want to listen to him admit it himself." "Finished. Ignoring Lin Zhaoyan's reaction, he turned around. lifted the skirt, pulled out the leg and rushed out.
She disappeared into the house like a gust of wind. Lin Zhaoyan only felt that her body was cold, and she was gone.
Lin Zhaoyan came back to his senses, and he was about to chase him out.
"There's no need to chase, she's got into the horns now, and what you say won't help." Lin Jinming's voice came faintly from the corner.
Lin Zhaoyan's footsteps faltered.
Lin Jinming continued: "She is different from me, and her cousin has never given me any hope, so it is easy for you to make me die in a few words. But I look at her situation, I'm afraid that the man has given her a lot of sweet promises, you and I are both women, you should understand that most women who are immersed in love can't extricate themselves, and how many people can look at the problem rationally? ”
Lin Zhaoyan turned around and looked at her with complicated eyes.
Lin Jinming was still leaning on the red sandalwood couch to read, her expression was quiet and lazy, probably aware of Lin Zhaoyan's gaze, she spread the book in her hand on her lap, raised her eyes and looked at her quietly for a while, and suddenly, smiled.
"I just saw through it, I was young and pampered, so I loved and hated clearly, and I was willful and impulsive. I always thought that no matter what, my mother would help me, my father would help me, and Jian'an Houfu would be my safest support. Who would have thought that I would be defeated by my proud nature, and who would have thought that what I thought was the safest reliance would push me out of the city and leave me alone to face the miserable wind and rain. You're not me, you'll never know how I got over that time, I really thought about dying, not a threat, not a threat, I really wanted to die. ”
Lin Zhaoyan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big palm, oppressing her so much that she couldn't breathe.
She should have known that Lin Jinming is so arrogant and wanton, even if the prince of Duanwang is a good destination, she will not be willing to ask for this marriage that was framed.
"I'm sorry ......" is a thousand words, and she can only turn into these three words, in addition to being sorry, she doesn't know what else to say.
Lin Jinming smiled, his smile was very sincere, not sarcastic and sarcastic, "You don't have to be sorry, I still have to thank you, if it weren't for you, how could I recognize the sinister in this world, how could I understand so many things?" ”
Lin Zhaoyan was speechless.
Lin Jinming continued: "Actually, I know in my heart that you are for my good, you have been soft since you were a child, and you would rather suffer yourself than harm others in everything. Although I don't know why you became what you are now, I know that if the prince of Duan Wang was cruel or cold-blooded and ruthless, you would definitely not design for me to marry. ”
"Yes." Lin Zhaoyan nodded.
Lin Jinming raised a smile, but then the words changed and became sharp, "It's one thing to understand, and it's another thing to accept!" At first, I couldn't forgive you for deceiving and hurting me, even if you managed to persuade me to hang myself, I still couldn't forgive you! I hate it in my heart, the more I think about it, the more I hate it, I even swear that I will not let you go when I develop in the future, I must make you look good, so that you can also taste the taste of life is better than death! ”
Lin Zhaoyan looked at her gritted teeth. I couldn't help but shudder from the bottom of my heart.
She believed what Lin Jinming said, and hated her so much that she was going to cut her with a thousand knives.
"But then I changed my mind!" Lin Jinming smiled brightly again. A pair of eyes are like glazed vermilion tiles washed by summer rain, and they become crystal clear. "Because someone told me that everything in this world is just a flower in the mirror, and those who live outside the truth feel that everything is beautiful and life is smooth, while those who live in the truth are destined to be unable to ask for it and suffer for a lifetime. In fact, why bother, outside the truth, the truth is just your own choice, and happiness and pain are often only separated by a thought. Sometimes the truth is often the abyss of the bones, so why bother to find out? I can still think that my grandmother loves me, my parents love me, and the prince of Duanwang is a marriage given to me by the queen mother in order to promote me, and simple happiness is actually very easy. ”
Lin Zhaoyan's heart trembled heavily.
Living outside the truth?
Simple pleasure?
So is she living so unhappy because she pursues the truth too much?
"What's the use of hypocritical pleasures!" Lin Ruoyan listened from the side and sneered disdainfully.
Lin Jinming was not annoyed, still smiling slightly, "It's not hypocritical happiness or cruel reality." You can only choose one of the two. In other words, my cousin will not fall in love with me at all, this is a cruel reality, and Duanwang Shizi can give me hypocritical happiness, do you think. How do I choose? ”
In fact, when she went to see Duanwang Shizi that day, she made up her mind to divorce him, but who knew that her original idea was completely subverted by his eloquent theory of mirrors and flowers.
He smiled and asked her, "How do you choose?" ”
It's about his smile like the moon in the mirror, although he can't see it really through his misty eyes. But it's extraordinarily beautiful, or maybe it's all the edges and corners smoothed out by the cruel reality. So, she chooses hypocritical pleasure.
After knowing the truth of the way. The hypocritical happiness she chose under the enlightenment, she didn't understand, but she was willing to eat it.
It is precisely because of this that she has the peace and tranquility she has today.
Lin Ruoyan still dismisses it, she has not suffered much, she has always lived a chic and wanton life, if she can do this for the rest of her life, it will be a great happiness.
Lin Zhaoyan fell into deep thought for a long time.
Of course, she knew that Lin Jinming suddenly said this because of Zhou Wanyu's matter, and she wanted to tell her that Zhou Wanyu may not want to know the truth of Lu Dao, maybe she also wants to choose hypocritical happiness, and as a bystander, she is not qualified to make decisions for her.
Lin Zhaoyan also understands that if Zhou Wanyu is obsessed, she has no choice.
She just thought of herself through Lin Jinming and Zhou Wanyu.
What is false happiness?
If you don't think about anything, you can live a relaxed life like you are now.
"Whether a person is happy or not, whether it is painful or not, is actually in a thought, if you feel that life is painful, then try to change your current situation, if you can't change, you can only change your mentality." Lin Jinming got up from the soft couch, brushed the hem of his clothes, put the book back in order, and stood there, smiling.
Lin Zhaoyan suddenly envied her, and also envied Lin Ruoyan and Ma.
Some of them have changed their status quo, some have changed their mentality, and they are all doing well.
She was still struggling with pain.
It's probably really her own problem.
☆★☆★☆★
Zhou Wanyu did not return to the pergola of Chengnan Bo Mansion, she was completely disturbed by Lin Zhaoyan's words.
She said that she was going to find Qin Chang, but she didn't know where to find it, and she didn't know how to ask him if she found it, so she could only be alone and wander aimlessly.
The dragon boat race is about to start, and the crowds of onlookers on both sides of the river are getting denser and more lively.
The laughter and laughter were boiling, but she stood there in a daze, recalling what Lin Zhaoyan had said to her in her mind, it was like falling into an ice cellar for three or nine days, and it was so cold that her heart was cold.
If it's true, what if it's true?
The gentle and gentle Brother Qin Chang, the empathetic Sister Yuxue, they used to be so good to her, are they all fake?
She remembered Qin Chang's smiling eyes every time she looked at her, and her heart hurt as if she had been cut by a knife.
Brother Qin Chang, Brother Qin Chang......
"Wanyu, what are you doing standing here alone?" Suddenly a voice came from behind him, as gentle as usual.
Zhou Wanyu's body stiffened.
She didn't dare to move.
But the man stepped forward, as warm as jade. A smile wandered between his handsome and delicate eyebrows, "The dragon boat race is about to start." There are a lot of people here, so let's go back! ”
Zhou Wanyu looked at him in a daze.
Qin Chang still smiled. Seeing that she didn't move, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scrape her nose, "Are you stupid?" ”
Zhou Wanyu subconsciously dodged back.
This time, it was Qin Chang's turn to be stunned, and only after half a sound did he say, "Wanyu, what's wrong with you?" But what happened? ”
Zhou Wanyu shook her head, shaking her head desperately.
Qin Chang hurriedly stepped forward to hold her shoulder, "Wanyu, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”
There was genuine concern and concern in his eyes, not fake, definitely not fake.
Zhou Wanyu's tears could no longer fall uncontrollably.
Qin Chang was even more at a loss.
He didn't know what happened to Zhou Wanyu at all. There is no consolation.
Zhou Wanyu suddenly grabbed his arm tightly, tilted his head, and said word by word, "Brother Qin, you will never lie to me, right?" ”
Qin Chang didn't know why she asked such a question, but nodded inertly.
Zhou Wanyu burst into tears, and her lips burst into a touch of warmth, "I know the way, I know the way!" ”
Qin Chang was still inexplicable. However, he could only laugh with him, but before his smile could reach the corner of his eye, he heard Zhou Wanyu ask impatiently: "There are rumors outside that you and Sister Yuxue are in love, and even Sister Yuxue is pregnant with your child." Brother Qin, isn't that true? ”
Qin Chang's face turned pale in an instant.
☆★☆★☆★
The dragon boat race began with the sound of gongs and drums, and the already boiling excitement outside swept up with overwhelming momentum. The fierce shouts and clamours carried the sharpness and frenzy of piercing the eardrums.
Lin Jinming and Lin Ruoyan followed the people of the Hou Mansion to the high platform to watch the game and cheer.
Lin Zhaoyan excused himself to be unwell and stayed alone in the pergola to rest.
No. More prepared, it's contemplation.
Lin Jinming's words brought her a great shock.
Change your current situation or adjust your mentality.
What will she be able to do?
Does she have the ability to tamper with the prophecy of "helping the dragon fly to the sky, and the face is thin". Does she have the ability to stop Xiao Qi from becoming that emperor?
In this case, in addition to self-preservation, does she dare to ask Xiao Qi to give up the country for her?
The status quo cannot be changed.
So adjust your mindset?
How to adjust?
Lin Zhaoyan fell into deep thought.
At this moment, someone suddenly tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
Lin Zhaoyan's thoughts instantly returned, and his body froze instantly.
Who else could be the one who could freely enter and leave her pergola at this time?
Her heart trembled unconsciously, and she tried to turn around as she tried to pretend to be calm, but her body was completely out of control.
She couldn't move at all.
"What do you think about sitting here alone?" But a lazy and melodious voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Lin Zhaoyan turned around in a hurry, and his eyes were the eyes of the second prince with a smile.
It's like someone pouring a basin of ice and snow from head to toe on dog days, and all the hidden eagerness and excitement are extinguished, leaving only a piece of cold.
"What's going on? So excited to see me? The second prince grinned at her, as usual without skin and face.
There was an indescribable relief or disappointment in her heart, but she regained her composure and calmness on her face, ignored the ambiguous words of the second prince, and said lightly: "How did you get in?" ”
It's no wonder that she mistook it for Xiao Qi, it's all because there is a loyal Chu Wen guarding outside this pergola, she doesn't believe that Chu Wen can let the second prince come in so arrogantly.
As if knowing what she was thinking, the second prince raised his eyebrows, walked across from her in two or three steps and sat down, and said with a smile: "You want to stop me if you get a maid who knows martial arts?" You don't take me seriously! ”
Lin Zhaoyan secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that I don't have the energy to fight with you.
She simply turned around and sat down, reached out and picked up the porcelain embossed teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea for him, and asked, "You didn't treat other people, did you?" ”
The second prince stretched out his hand to take it, and did not answer her question directly, but picked up the teacup and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then put the tea under his nose and smelled it, before taking a sip and saying: "This is the tip of the hair of the best man, the holy product of the emperor, how can it be used for use in the pergola?" ”
Lin Zhaoyan's body stiffened.
The second prince said: "There is also this tea cup, it looks simple but it is an antiquity of the previous dynasty, did you come to watch the game and specially bring tea leaves and tea sets?" As he spoke, he looked around sideways again, and was surprised, "This is simply the front hall of a large family!" Lin Zhaoyan, are you familiar with the people in Xiao Wangfu? ”
