Chapter 226: Entanglement
The old lady went like that, and no one knew what the old lady said when she pulled Lin Yingling alone on her deathbed, but when everyone heard the screams and entered the house, Lin Yingling's face was not very good.
In the end, the old lady's funeral was held in the newly bought mansion of the fourth master. If it was with the previous prestige of the Lin family, the small courtyard that the four masters entered would definitely not be enough to receive guests, but fortunately, something happened to the Lin family, and those who had dealings with the Lin family in the past were now eager to stay away from the Lin family, so in the end, there were not many people who came to mourn, which also avoided the embarrassment of the fourth master.
"Five girls, the day when people die, Si people have passed away, five girls must not be too sad." Zhou Qingshu and the Lin family had an incompatible relationship, but I don't know if it was because he was too close to King Jing's Mansion recently or because of Lin Yingxue, he also specially attended the old lady's funeral.
Seeing Zhou Qingshu's worried look, Lin Yingxue was slightly stunned - the old lady died, as the relatives of the old lady, crying is a must, but the person who cries more than the other in this hall is not necessarily very sad in his heart.
Lin Yingxue wiped the tears on her face, and silently bowed her head to Zhou Qingshu, but she didn't say much.
Zhou Qingshu looked at Lin Yingxue, whose eyes were red, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Murong Jun came out of nowhere and said coldly: "After Zhou Gongzi finishes the incense, please withdraw to the side, don't block the people behind." ”
There was nothing wrong with Zhou Qingshu and Murong Jun before, and he was even very optimistic about Murong Jun in some aspects, but now because of Lin Yingxue's matter, he gradually disliked Murong Jun.
Of course, Zhou Qingshu didn't know that many of his recent troubles in official affairs were also because of Murong Jun, otherwise he might have been even more disgusted with Murong Jun.
After glancing at Murong Jun fixedly, Zhou Qingshu flicked his sleeves and turned around and left.
Murong Jun saw that Zhou Qingshu was gone, so he turned his head and wanted to say something to Lin Yingxue, but Lin Yingxue didn't even look at him, just lowered his head and burned paper money.
At noon, everyone gathered to eat, Zhou Qingshu had been paying attention to Lin Yingxue's movements, and after seeing Lin Yingxue get up alone, Zhou Qingshu found an excuse to put down the dishes and chopsticks and go out without thinking about it.
"Five girls." Zhou Qingshu followed Lin Yingxue all the way to the backyard.
Lin Yingxue turned her head and saw Zhou Qingshu coming out, and her face couldn't help showing a touch of surprise, "Why did Zhou Gongzi come out too?" ”
"I ...... I just want to ask what the fifth girl thinks of the medical book I sent to the fifth girl last time. When Lin Yingxue's eyes that seemed to glow looked over, Zhou Qingshu involuntarily became cramped.
"Ah......" Thinking of the medical book that was torn up by Murong Jun, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, "The medical book is very good, that medical book must not be easy to come by, Zhou Gongzi bothered." ”
Lin Yingxue was obviously a little weak when she said this, but she didn't dare to look at Lin Yingxue's Zhou Qingshu at all, so she naturally couldn't notice it.
"That's good." Seeing that Lin Yingxue liked the gift he gave, Zhou Qingshu breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had let go of some burden.
It's just that Zhou Qingshu hasn't been happy for long, but Murong Jun came out of nowhere, and said quietly: "Is it?" How did His Royal Highness remember the medical book sent by Zhou Gongzi, and the fifth lady lost it before she could read it? ”
Murong Jun's words made the originally harmonious atmosphere instantly become a little subtle, and Zhou Qingshu originally didn't want to pay attention to Murong Jun, but as soon as he turned his head and saw the look of apology on Lin Yingxue's face, the good mood he had just raised suddenly disappeared, "What His Royal Highness said...... But really? He asked tentatively.
Lin Yingxue is not a person who is good at lying, no, it should be said that in the face of such a sincere Zhou Qingshu, she really can't bear to deceive the people in front of her.
"Well......" Lin Yingxue said hard under Zhou Qingshu's disappointed gaze: "Yingxue didn't mean to deceive Zhou Gongzi, I hope Zhou Gongzi will forgive me......"
"That medical book took me a lot of effort to find...... Zhou Qingshu was obviously a little angry, but looking at Lin Yingxue's guilty look, he couldn't bear to be angry at the person in front of him, "That's it, if you lose the medical book, you will lose it, but the next time you encounter this kind of thing, please ask the fifth girl to tell the truth." ”
Although he tried his best to restrain his anger, Zhou Qingshu's face was still tense.
"I shouldn't have sprinkled ......"
"It's just a broken medical book, and there are thousands of precious medical books in this world. Miss Fifth didn't want to disappoint you, so she told a white lie. If Zhou Gongzi doesn't even have this bearing, don't give gifts to people in the future. Although Murong Jun and Lin Yingxue are still angry, this does not mean that he can tolerate someone to give Lin Yingxue a look.
Seeing Murong Jun standing up strongly in front of Lin Yingxue, the anger that Zhou Qingshu had just suppressed in his heart couldn't help but rise again, "People have twists and turns, and things have right and wrong. I'm right about this matter, not people, the fifth girl shouldn't have lied, and besides, I don't mean to blame the fifth girl, but the third highness you-this is a matter between me and the five girls, what right does the third highness have to express his opinion on this matter? ”
"Because she's my woman." Murong Jun's voice was not high, but it was full of momentum. With this sound, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
"You guys aren't eating there, what are you doing here?" Xu found that Lin Yingxue was gone, and Lin Yingxin followed to find it, and Lin Yingxin obviously heard something, and looked at Lin Yingxue's gaze with some meaning.
But Lin Yingxue glanced at Murong Jun and said indifferently: "I'm just an ordinary boudoir woman, and I hope that His Royal Highness won't say anything like this that affects my boudoir reputation in the future." After that, Lin Yingxue didn't look at Murong Jun's expression, but walked straight to Lin Yingxin's side, took Lin Yingxin's arm and left.
And after Zhou Qingshu heard Murong Jun's possessive words, his heart had sunk to the bottom, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Yingxue's words pulled his heart back. He turned his head and glanced at Murong Jun, although he didn't speak, but there was a full smile in his eyes.
In the middle of the afternoon, the guests were about to leave, but the sky was not beautiful - the sudden storm blocked everyone in the house and could not even step out of the threshold, and everyone saw that the rain was too strong, so they had to turn back and gather together to have fun and pass the time.
Lin Yingmeng has been staring at Zhou Qingshu's movements, seeing that Zhou Qingshu in the morning is still full of sadness, but in the afternoon, his mood seems to be much better, although he didn't smile too openly because of the occasion, but the eyebrows and corners of his eyes that couldn't help but rise were full of the word 'joy'.
Zhou Qingshu disappeared under her nose for a while, what happened in it that she didn't know? The full of questions made Lin Yingmeng frown a little irritably, and then looked at Zhou Qingshu's eyes as if they were glued to Lin Yingxue's body, and she never left Lin Yingxue's figure, she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.
After a while, Lin Yingxin suddenly found an excuse to pull Lin Yingxue away, and Zhou Qingshu looked at Lin Yingxue's leaving, and a trace of loneliness involuntarily appeared on his face.
'Bang', Lin Yingmeng, who had been filled with jealousy in his heart, couldn't help but throw the thick pile of yellow paper in his hand into the burning brazier, and the flames that were not burning enthusiastically turned into a puff of black smoke because of the lack of air, and staggered into the air.
Everyone who was choked by the smoke couldn't help but turn their heads and cast a blaming glance at Lin Yingmeng, but Lin Yingmeng stood up with her skirt as if she didn't realize it.
As the evening approached, the rain finally subsided, and the guests began to leave one after another. Zhou Qingshu was originally among this group of people, but before he could go out, a girl suddenly rushed out and came to his ear and said quickly and quietly: "Childe, please stay, our five girls have something to say to Childe, please go to the small forest behind the house to get together." ”
The mansion purchased by the fourth master of the Lin family is located in a relatively remote area, and next to the back door is a dense forest. Because the forest has not been taken care of for a long time, it is a bit of a mess, and it is usually rarely visited, but if you go there to talk, it is not easy to be disturbed.
It's just that Lin Yingxue has something to say to him so secretly? Zhou Qingshu raised his head and wanted to ask carefully, but Yahuan, who had just come to pass the word, had already run away.
Because the weather was not very good, it seemed to be getting dark very early, and before the time of the unitary, the sky had already darkened, and it was even darker in the forest, and Zhou Qingshu even regretted that he didn't bring a lantern over.
"Five girls?" Zhou Qingshu looked around the periphery of the forest and didn't see any figure, so he lowered his voice and whispered, but he waited for a while but didn't hear a response.
Could it be that Lin Yingxue was waiting for him in the forest? Zhou Qingshu frowned and walked into the forest, and after walking a few steps, there was a sudden cry of 'huh' in front of him, which was not loud, but it looked particularly sad.
"Five girls?" Zhou Qingshu hurriedly followed the sound and walked a few more steps, until he got closer, he saw a woman in white not far in front of him who was sobbing quietly with her back to him. He couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but he could vaguely see that the woman was thin and weak, and she was holding the same hairstyle as Lin Yingxue, so she thought it should be Lin Yingxue.
"Fifth girl, what's wrong with you? But what's uncomfortable? Zhou Qingshu hurriedly walked up and walked straight to 'Lin Yingxue', only then did he remember that there is a difference between men and women, so he hurriedly took two steps back and opened a little distance from 'Lin Yingxue'.
But 'Lin Yingxue' ignored his anxiety, and just sobbed in a low voice. Zhou Qingshu listened to this suppressed cry, and only felt that his heart hurt, "Fifth girl, the matter between you and the Third Highness, the third girl has already told me." Although my background and power are not as good as those of the Third Highness, as long as the fifth girl has a word from you, I am willing to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire! As long as the five girls are ......."
Before Zhou Qingshu's words were finished, the figure that was originally in front of him suddenly turned around and plunged into his arms.
