The faint aroma of wine does not relieve worries (2)
Besides, even if Zhongli Mu didn't say it, then when he returned to Jundu, the contrast in his expressions that he involuntarily showed before and after would not be able to escape the keen eyes of some people, and he would be discovered by those who had a heart.
Maybe now those spies who secretly followed Zhong Limu and them have come to Huizhou City, if it wasn't because of the spies who followed, then how could those killers easily know the whereabouts of the two?
I'm afraid that sooner or later her traces will be exposed, and there may be constant troubles in the future. In this way, Lu Fu will definitely be implicated, but she doesn't want to do this.
Xu is too strong-minded, even if the people around her are her beloved, she doesn't want to use him as a protective umbrella, she has been hiding weakly under his umbrella, throwing all the problems to him. The love between them should be equal and pure, not the one she will always be protected, what is the difference between that and using him? Freaked love seems to be a little humble, and she doesn't need it.
In addition to her third brother, there is now a Yanling last in the house, she has only had a relationship with this person, and now she doesn't even have much of an impression, and she doesn't know anything about him. Whether to meet him or not is also something she hesitates about.
She silently thought and struggled in her heart, thinking a lot, thinking about it and forgetting the time. Later, her head gradually became drowsy, and finally she fell asleep unconsciously.
When I opened my eyes again, a large amount of sunlight had spread on the floor under the window, illuminating the whole room. She looked inside the tent with half-open eyes, and found that she had returned to her own courtyard, which was her bed.
She couldn't help but pouted her right cheek slightly, and sighed that Lu Jingxing really did what he said, but when did he send her back? She didn't even notice it.
Lying there stunned for a moment, she sat up with her body propped up, lifted the thin cover, and came out of the curtain. Glancing out the window, it seemed that the hour was not early, but I missed going to the stream to see the black spirit python.
However, even if she got up early, considering that she might meet Yan Linglast on the way, she would not leave her yard for the time being. Whether to see him or not, she was still thinking about it.
Not long after breakfast, Zhong Limu came. While the two were talking, Zhong Limu inadvertently mentioned Yan Linglast again, and asked her if she had thought it through. And after he went back yesterday, Yan Linglast was already waiting for him in the room and told her in detail.
Although Yan Linglin didn't ask at the time, Zhong Limu knew that he already had some doubts in his heart. Zhong Limu never thought that he would be waiting for him in the room yesterday. In this way, the explanation is naturally a bit far-fetched.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao thought to himself again, and seemed to have a feeling of seeing the moon through the clouds, and couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. She has always been decisive and neat, when did she become so hesitant.
Isn't it just to see someone, so what's the big deal, in fact, you don't have to dwell on it for so long, and it's useless to escape what should happen. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao nodded to Zhong Limu, and agreed to it.
After Zhongli Mu left, he had nothing to do, and Ling Xiao ordered Que'er to move out of the chessboard and play with himself. Falling slowly, pondering carefully, and scrutinizing carefully, who made her never win every time she played against Lu Jingxing? This couldn't help but make her a little annoyed, it was only so long, and her chess skills didn't seem to have improved much.
After a few games of chess, it's time for lunch. Ling Xiao changed her dress at random, and after some simple tidying. After a while, a housekeeper came to the courtyard and asked if she wanted to go to the dining room for dinner, or if she would bring lunch to the courtyard as she had done yesterday.
"Let them use it first, don't wait, I'll be there in a moment." Ling Xiao gave a few orders to the family and let the family go first. Soon after, she led the finch out of the yard.
The midday sun was shining, Ling Xiao was calm, and walked calmly all the way, through the breezy corridors, and finally appeared at the door of the dining room.
The people inside had arrived, and even Lu Bo had returned from outside the city, and five or six people had already begun to eat. Hearing movement at the door, they all shifted their attention to the door.
Yan Linglast also inadvertently looked at the door, and a calm familiar face fell into his eyes against the light like this, dressed in an elegant dress, and behind the emaciated figure was an autumn sun.
Seeing that the person at the door was meeting his gaze generously, Yan Linglast looked stunned, his hand slipped, the chopsticks crossed the edge of the bowl, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In the surprised eyes of Lu Ci and the others, Yan Ling's thin lips trembled slightly, his eyes were full of surprise, and he called out for a long time: "Yu'er? ”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, his smile revealed his estrangement as always, and he calmly came to Yan Linglast's side, and saluted respectfully: "Fifth son." ”
"Yu'er, is it really you?" After Yan Linghan came back to his senses, he stood up directly from his seat, and looked fixedly at the person standing in front of him now, not bothering to pick up the chopsticks that fell to the ground.
Ling Xiao looked at Yan Linglast's clear and translucent eyes, and his heart moved slightly. These eyes, she had seen at the banquet that day, and she still remembered them. It's just that she's never seen such a clean pair of eyes in the past twenty-five years, and it can't help but be loved, just a simple liking, like treating a favorite object. However, only the owner of these eyes has lost his impression.
After a brief look at each other, Ling Xiao naturally looked away, his face was calm, and he nodded slightly: "It's me." Fifth son, please be seated. ”
"I haven't seen you for a year, how did Yu'er become so angry? It's better to call me Brother last as before. Yan Ling Yan gradually calmed down from his surprise, hooked his lips to reveal a gentle smile, and looked at the calm figure again.
Yan Linglast couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this doesn't seem to be much different from the one she saw more than a year ago, the whole person is still exuding an indifferent and cold atmosphere, even if she sees her smiling at him, but this smile reveals respect for him, not true emotions from the heart. It seems that in the six years she has been in North Vietnam, she has really changed, and she is no longer the playful and lively little girl she was a child. He thought, in fact, in the past six or seven years, it is not only her who has changed, but since the woman he loves has married far away, he has also changed.
Lu Ci's eyes were so shocked that his eyes straightened, a pair of chopsticks were held in his mouth for a long time and he couldn't take them out, seeing that Ling Xiao had walked to the vacant seat next to Lu Jingxing, he pointed at the two and exclaimed, "You know?" ”
Ling Xiao sat down calmly, nodded slightly, and pointed at Zhong Limu: "Yes, this Li Gongzi is my third brother." Lu Ci, thank you very much this time. ”
"Huh?" Lu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up directly from his seat as if he had been pricked by a needle, and then he was glanced at by Lu Bo.
In fact, Lu Bo's face could not hide his surprise, but he had always been calm and polite, and he had rich life experience, even in the face of such an unexpected thing, he could remain calm.
As for Lu Jingxing, when he heard the family Ding reply that Ling Xiao would dine with them, he already knew that Ling Xiao had already made a decision and chose to face this prince calmly. Besides, he knew the identities of these two people yesterday, and at this moment he just calmly watched the scene in front of him, and he had already expected this in his heart.
At this time, except for Lu Jingxing and the three of them, everyone else had different doubts in their hearts and different expressions.
After Yan Ling last sat down, he bent down and picked up the chopsticks on the ground. Handed it into the hands of the maid who was walking towards him, he glanced at the back of the person who hurriedly walked out of the dining room, and suddenly realized that he had seen this maid the night before, so the second lady in her mouth was ......
After a moment's reaction, Yan Linglast had a sense of sudden enlightenment, and his expression changed imperceptibly. No wonder the voice he heard the night before sounded inexplicably familiar, it turned out to be the person they had been looking for for more than a year. It's just that he couldn't have imagined that she had made a private agreement with someone for life, and this matter would be very important.
Thinking of Zhong Limu's abnormality yesterday morning, Yan Ling Yan was already aware of it, it seemed that Zhong Limu had seen her yesterday, so when she saw him just now, there was no trace of surprise on her face, and she behaved so indifferently. He had guessed that Zhong Limu should have asked her to meet him, otherwise, Zhong Limu would not have behaved so calmly at this time. It's just that he can't be sure if Zhong Limu also knows about her love affair with Lu Jingxing.
After knowing this, Yan Linghan's mood became complicated, there were too many doubts in his heart, and there were too many other feelings, and he didn't know how to speak again for a while.
"Yu'er, since you're out of danger, why don't you go home? Father worries day by day, hoping that you will return safely. There is also the sixth brother, who has been looking for you for a year. Yan Ling Yan thought for a long time before he could barely ask such a sentence, and his jade-like face revealed a few complicated expressions.
Ling Xiao's expression was indifferent, he picked up the chopsticks on the table, and replied calmly: "A place like Jundu is not suitable for me. ”
"Can you use chopsticks?" Seeing that Ling Xiao skillfully used chopsticks to pick up a piece of lotus root, Yan Ling Yan was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Zhong Limu's slightly surprised abrupt words, Yan Ling Yan only closed his mouth and said no more. Although this was deliberate, Zhong Limu was indeed a little surprised.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were strange, and they all stared at the chopsticks in Ling Xiao's hand.
Only Lu Jingxing was not surprised, when they were in the wooden house, he found out that she was not very good at using chopsticks, and he was very curious about how she had survived all these years, but curiosity was curiosity, but he never showed it.
Lu Ci blinked and looked at it a few more times, suddenly his eyes flashed, his hand slapped quickly on his thigh, and he echoed Zhongli Mu: "Li Gongzi, when you say this, I just thought that when she first arrived in the mansion last year, she really didn't know how to use chopsticks. ”
