The painting had been burned to ashes, and the breath in the room almost choked tears.

"And what do you want?" Fu Yunhuang has seen many people who are infatuated with each other, but in Ruan Lu's eyes, he has not seen the slightest love.

"I want you to be married for the rest of your life." He smiled, but there was a coldness between his eyebrows.

"No, it can't be."

She couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"Everyone in the world loves beauty to laugh, and this son loves beauty to cry the most. If you marry this son, you will cry for the rest of your life, how about it? ”

"You're crazy, I can't marry you, no matter how the eldest princess persecutes my parents, I don't think I can agree to this."

She couldn't help but guess the reason why Ruan Lu wanted to marry her, was it because she wanted to rob the woman who was dyed, so that she could get back the face she had when she was in the palace exam?

"It's up to you." Ruan Lu's voice was tinged with coldness, "We are all people who should go to hell. ”

***

When Lian Zhi'er looks at the rising sun every day, she always looks forward to this day passing slowly, as long as she is by Shi Dye's side like this, the years are quiet.

Although she can get pregnant, because her body is too thin, she can't see it at all.

On this day, she thought that she should run out of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for dyeing, so she went to the street to buy some for him.

She knew that the inkstones used for dyeing were excellent, so she gritted her teeth and went to a shop that looked extremely atmospheric.

It's just that this shop has a lot of doors, and it must be enough to eat for a few months with only one piece.

Sure enough, she went to the shop, and the owner with the tea bowl looked at her from top to bottom, and saw that her clothes were just ordinary fabrics. He lifted his eyelids and asked impatiently, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Lian Zhi'er's gaze involuntarily fell on a half-moon-shaped ink ingot, and he only knocked lightly, but he heard a crisp sound, which was excellent.

The boss saw that she seemed to be a knowledgeable person, so he said unhurriedly, "This grinding ingot was transported from the capital, and it can glow with blue and purple light." The best one gets fifty taels of silver, and it is not possible to lose one cent. ”

Lian Zhi'er had already given up after hearing the price, and she slowly put the ink ingot back in its place.

"Huh? Let me hear how much money you have, and give it to you cheaper, and let me make a loss-making deal today. The boss seemed reluctant to give up the door-to-door business.

"Ten taels." Lian Zhi'er lowered her voice.

She didn't tell a lie, the ten taels of silver were still saved from between her teeth by saving money in the past.

When the boss heard this, he raised his eyebrows in an instant, looking like he was going to eat people, "What are you teasing me here?" The next time you want to buy something, you have to take a good look at your face in the mirror and see if it's the place you can come! ”

After speaking, he only turned his face away, lifted the lid of the bowl and drank his own tea, making a "Xiuxiu" sound.

Even Zhi'er didn't theorize, just turned around and went out.

However, she had only walked half the street when she heard someone shouting behind her, "Girl." Wait, wait, wait......"

Seeing that the people on the street were looking at him, Lian Zhi'er turned his head a little stunned.

But I saw that the boss of Shicai ran over like a gust of wind, panting out of breath, "Girl, I sold you this ink ingot." ”

"But I don't have that much silver." Lian Zhi'er only frowned, what is this, can you buy and sell by force?

The boss smiled kindly, and only put the inkstone in his hand in her hand, "Oh, it was I who was blinded by lard, and I actually deceived the girl, where is this thing worth so much silver, ten taels will be done." ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't believe it, but he was afraid that the boss would regret it, so he gave him all the ten taels of silver in his sleeve, and the boss really took it and left in a hurry.

And the wine seller on the street next to them looked at it and said a little drunk, "Boss Wang, you also have ten taels of silver in your store?" Why don't you bring me a few too? ”

Boss Wang couldn't help but snort coldly and scolded, "Drunken things, you don't have the God of Wealth behind you to protect you, and you are also delusional here." ”

Lian Zhi'er was a little puzzled when she heard his inexplicable words, but when she was about to ask, she saw that the boss was nowhere to be found.

As she walked, she looked at things, and when she passed by a stall selling rouge gouache, she couldn't help but stop, and the little girl who sold rouge said hurriedly, "Miss is so beautiful, I'm afraid it's even more beautiful when I paint my rouge." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help laughing, and only reached out and picked up a few things to take a look.

After all, it is her daughter's family, where is there anyone who doesn't love these rouge gouaches, but when she spent the ten taels of silver, there were only a few copper plates left on her body.

However, she turned around and walked a few steps, but she didn't expect the little girl who bought gouache to chase after her again, a little blushing face, and only said slowly, "Sister, these are all for you." ”

Lian Zhi'er shook her head, "Why should I take your things for nothing?" ”

"Please, just take it." The little girl stomped her feet in a hurry, and if Lian Zhi'er didn't pick up, she was afraid that she would kneel.

Lian Zhi'er suddenly understood, "Did someone give you silver?" ”

The little girl only gritted her teeth and refused to speak.

This made Lian Zhi'er more convinced, and only asked with a smile, "Is it a big brother?" He's tall, and he's-"

She didn't know how to describe the man, but there was endless tenderness in her eyes, "He's good-looking, and his voice is gentle?" Dressed in white? ”

The little girl saw that she asked herself. Only then did he smile and said, "You're only half right, but the voice is so cold that it can freeze people to death." ”

Lian Zhi'er frowned, but he still slowly received those rouge gouaches into his arms.

The little girl still had an obsessive look on her face, "But she was really good-looking, and she was the best-looking person I've ever seen." ”

Lian Zhi'er was amused by the appearance of this little girl, and laughed out loud.

The little girl also felt ashamed, so she just covered her face and ran away.

Lian Zhi'er's eyes looked around the lively street, but he didn't see the white figure, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

But then she thought about it, she would always see him when she returned.

When she went back, Lian Zhi'er always felt that the street was a little more lively than before, and she remembered that tomorrow would be Qixi Festival.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, I saw an old woman holding countless red ribbons, and a tree that had been shoveled down beside her.

She shouted, "It's a marriage belt, just write down the name of your beloved, and tomorrow I will plant the tree in the temple to ensure that the old man can see it and fulfill your marriage." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but remember that when she was in the capital, she fell from a tree in order to tie the marriage silk, so much so that she fell and injured her eye.

"Girl, just five copper plates." The old woman smiled and handed over a ribbon.

Lian Zhi'er still took it slowly, took the ink and wrote a name on it, and then tied it to the highest place.

After she left, a figure in the crowd slowly walked over. Reaching out and taking off the ribbon she had just tied, she saw two names on it, "Dye, Lianzhi'er." ”

There was a little more helplessness in the man's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to tie the ribbon from the new, a delicate and bright voice came from behind him, "Master Shi." ”

Ruan Lu subconsciously turned his head, but saw that familiar face, full of joy, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and there seemed to be stars hidden in his eyes, as if he had suddenly returned to the courtyard three years ago.

However, he clearly saw that the smile on her face was instantly gone, and what spread was endless horror and horror, "Why are you?" ”

Her eyes fell on his white shirt, which she had never seen him wear before, but felt very strange.

Ruan Lu's eyes were filled with endless coldness, followed her gaze, looked at his clothes, and then sneered, "Why, except for your Lord Shi, no one else can wear white clothes?" ”

Lian Zhi'er seemed to have fallen into a nightmare, because she was afraid that the child in her womb would be discovered by him, and her voice trembled a little.

"Do you still like all the things that this son gave you? I didn't expect you to live so poor, if you like something, this son can reward you. ”

His voice was cold. It's still an arrogant tone.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with a little trembling.

"This son is here to take someone out of here." He looked at her with a smirk.

"Lord Shi has already promised to take me as a concubine, you can't take me away." In a panic, Shi Ran seemed to have become her only support, after all, according to Ruan Lu's unafraid temperament that day, he was afraid that he would take her away.

"For a concubine? Are you so willing to be cheap? Under the sleeves, his hands were clenched tightly, but his face was still very calm.

"I'd rather marry Lord Shi as a concubine than marry you as a wife." After Lian Zhi'er finished speaking, she only gritted her teeth and looked at Ruan Lu, with a strange stubbornness in her dark eyes.

Ruan Lu suddenly smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were full of mockery, "You are really exalting yourself, why do you want to marry such a lowly person as you?" This son of the world wants to take Fu Yunhuang away, that is the wife of this son, and you are also worthy. ”

Lian Zhi'er knew that she had misunderstood and was amorous, but she still gritted her teeth and tried not to look so embarrassed, "Then I wish the two of them to grow old together." ”

"Thank you." Ruan Lu's voice was complicated. "It's just that this son can't say half a false compliment, it seems that you are going to be disappointed."

Lian Zhi'er didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

Ruan Lu watched her leave and quickly disappeared into the long street, as if there were hungry wolves and tigers chasing after her.

When he returned to the inn, he saw the guards hurrying over, and the inn had been taken over by him, and it was all the people he had brought with him.

"My lord, Miss Fu has been making trouble in the house, and she hasn't even eaten."

Ruan Lu's eyes did not have the slightest pity, and seemed to have a trace of disgust, "I thought she was such a smart woman, it seems that this Shizi overestimated her." ”

With that, he only went upstairs, asked the guards to open the tightly locked door, and went in.

But I saw that all the antiques and porcelain things in the house were broken, except for Fu Yunhuang, none of them were good.

Ruan Lu tugged at the corners of his lips, and then said slowly, "Fall hard, our eldest princess's mansion has a lot of silver, these things are nothing, it's good to relieve your anger." ”

Just as he was lying on the bed again, Fu Yunhuang, who was very weak, raised his head, his phoenix eyes were full of hatred, "Let me go find Shi Ran, I have something to say to him." ”

Ruan Lu slowly sat down on a fairly complete chair in the room, with arrogance in his eyes, "You don't know yet." Your Lord Shi is going to take a concubine, and we will return to Beijing tomorrow, so you should go and bless it. ”

Fu Yunhuang's face was as pale as paper, as if he didn't believe it, but he soon understood who he was going to marry.

It turned out that he was still in love with that woman, and they all said that he was a cold-hearted person who didn't understand love, but it turned out to be a lie.

"No, I'm going to ask him." Because I was too excited. Her uneaten body was getting weaker and weaker.

"Go, this son has prepared some gifts, and you will personally bring them for this son." He smiled, and suddenly his voice became extremely cold, "If I were you, I wouldn't do anything stupid, if you hurt someone's concubine, I'm afraid that he will think you are a poisonous woman, and you will never get his heart again." ”

Fu Yunhuang looked at Ruan Lu in astonishment. I only felt a chill behind her back, no matter how much scheming she had, she couldn't understand what the man in front of her was calculating.

"Go ahead." He walked over and stretched out his slender fingers to run across her long black hair, "Good makeup, don't lose the face of this son." ”

————

After Lian Zhi'er went back, she still felt creepy, and her back was cold, as if all the secrets were about to be revealed.

She didn't know why he was coming back, but if he found the child, then there really would be no way back for her life.

Shi Ran was unpacking the letter he had just sent in the courtyard, and his eyebrows were a little wrinkled, it was rare that even a person like him had something to worry about.

"What's wrong?" Shi Ran's gaze fell on her face.

Lian Zhi'er walked over at this time, only restrained his fear, only took out the ink ingot he bought from his sleeve, and sent it over respectfully, "This is for adults." ”

Shi Ran took it, but he didn't pay much attention to it, his heavy gaze still fell on her pale cheeks.

"I don't want to say it." His voice was faint.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but turn red in front of her, and Shicai's panic was revealed, "Ruan Lu is here, I saw him on the street today." ”

Shi Ran's gaze inadvertently crossed her lower abdomen, and she only said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, he is here to pick up Fu Yunhuang, and he will leave Beijing tomorrow." ”

Lian Zhi'er breathed a heavy sigh of relief at this time, and only said with hesitation, "I was scared for a while, and I actually said that I wanted to marry you as a concubine, I didn't want to hurt your reputation, I was afraid that he would take me to the capital." ”

Shi Ran didn't say anything, as if he was considering.

"My lord, I know that I did something wrong, and you can only blame me. I just want Ruan Lu to be completely dead to me, as long as I don't see him again in this life. I don't care about anything. ”

Shi Ran suddenly spoke, "Tomorrow is the Qixi Festival, it seems that we have to put on a show in front of him." I just hope that I can trick him over, and you will be safe in this life. ”

Lian Zhi'er saw that he was willing to help himself, and he didn't even have a word of reproach, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red for a while, and he almost left tears.

"What play?" She was stunned.

"If I want to take you as a concubine, I naturally have to prepare something." His voice was faint, still without any waves.

"Do you really want to take me as a concubine?" Lian Zhi'er was suddenly stunned, as if she didn't believe it.

Shi Ran said slowly, "As long as you hide it from Ruan Lu, as long as you don't let him spy on you here in the sect eyeliner, the child in your womb can hide it, and then you can send you back to Beiliang in the future." ”

It turned out that he hadn't deceived Ruan Lu yet, but he planted himself in it first, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Shi Ran slowly stood up, only tucking the letter in his hand into his cuff, "Go change your clothes." ”

Lian Zhi'er looked down. Only then did he realize that he was in too much of a hurry, and the hem of his skirt was splashed with mud spots from nowhere, and he only thought about Shicai's embarrassment in front of Shi Ran, so he hurried back to his room.

She took off her shirt, but saw the rouge gouache in the cuffs fall to the ground, and she was about to lean down to pick it up, but she saw her door being pushed open suddenly.

Before he saw anyone, he saw a familiar voice come suddenly, "Are you going to marry Lord Shi as a concubine?" Why, even my future wife has to be hidden? ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't want someone to break in, so he subconsciously picked up his clothes and hurriedly put them on.

The man looked at her slightly bulging lower abdomen anyway.

Because her clothes are loose, and she is so thin, she can't be seen at all, and when she takes off her coat, even a fool can see it.

"You, you're pregnant?" Fu Yunhuang's face was full of shock, especially those phoenix eyes, which were wide open.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly put on his clothes, and for a while his ears "buzzed", "Yes." ”

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Fu Yunhuang's face had already changed, "Is it Master Shi?" ”

Lian Zhi'er knew that she must not admit it, otherwise she would affect Shi Ran's reputation, she had already harmed him once, how could she harm him again.

Seeing her so frightened, and not daring to admit that she was dyed, Fu Yunhuang's face was full of smug smiles, as if he had caught such a terrible handle, "I didn't expect you to be a slut who was pregnant privately, and still wanted to marry an adult, you just follow me to see the adult, let him know what kind of face you are, and do such a shameless thing." ”

After saying that, she grabbed Lian Zhi'er's arm and walked to the house where Shi Ran was.

Because Lian Zhi'er was afraid of hurting the child in her womb, she had to let her drag, and she didn't dare to resist for a while.

Until she was dragged by Fu Yunhuang to Shi Ran, she heard Fu Yunhuang's voice coming.

"My lord, she is pregnant, I don't know whose it is, I didn't expect this girl to do such a foolish thing, and asked the adult to dispose of her.
