Chapter 138: Openness
There was a crackling sound in the darkness, and Song Yu opened his eyes and saw an oil lamp burning in the dark.
Yin Le sat on the edge of the bed, his chin propped up in his hand, staring at the flames.
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt an overwhelming amount of fear.
He propped himself up from the bed, and Yin Le noticed him at the same time.
"Good evening." Yin Le smiled, "Should I call you Master, or Song Meiren?" Or ......"
"Song Jinzhi."
The oil lamp flickered on and off, and Yin Le's face loomed in the dim light.
In the end, Yin Le seemed to be dissatisfied with the atmosphere at this time, and added two wicks to the oil lamp, and finally illuminated the area.
She put down the oil lamp, then sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, bending her eyes to look at Song Yu who sat up from the bed.
"Why don't you guess, am I Yu'er or Ah Le?"
"Let's go back." Song Yu looked at her for a long time, and finally spoke.
Yin Le's eyes sank: "What if I say no?" ”
"Idiot, why bother." Song Yu avoided Yin Le's gaze, and subconsciously stroked his forehead, "If you want to ask for the stability of the Yin family, this time ......"
"Song Yu." Yin Le's face darkened, and he called Song Yu by his name, "You know me." In that case, what's the point of deceiving oneself? ”
"I live my life again, and what I ask for is not the shortness of the family. What is the reason why I came to take Yitang, Master? ”
"Do you think that with your ability, you can gain a foothold in the bureaucracy of Chang'an City?" Song Yu couldn't help but sneer, "I took you purely to win over the Yin family. Now that I know that the Yin family is a soft and hard master, what's the use of me keeping you? ”
"Master is eloquent." Yin Le snapped his fingers and shuttered softly.
"Let me guess if the master will belittle me to nothing in order to protect me, make me lose confidence, and then drive me back to Yangzhou."
"Soon, there will be news that the Marquis of Dingguo has been transferred out of Chang'an, so that my father will not have a chance to rebel, and the tragedy will naturally not befall me."
"After that, the King of Qin may ascend the throne early, and the peaceful and prosperous era will also come early."
"And then, you died again. And I, living my whole life in a daze, got nothing. She turned her eyes, half-light and half-dark, only Yin Le's eyes were shining.
"Master, if I go back, I will have nothing." Yin Le dodged Song Yuqing's anxious hand, and elaborated word by word, "Master really thinks that I will be willing to shrink under your protective circle, and live a life in fear but calmly?" ”
"From the moment I opened my eyes, I was planning, planning how to stand side by side with my father and the men in the court, and no longer be a humble concubine who can only survive by relying on her family and others."
"In my last life, I had a good enough life."
"In the first half of my life, I was well dressed and respected. Although he survived in the second half of his life, he finally got revenge. If I'm happy with this life, I don't have to come out now. ”
"Master, the Marquis of Dingguo is my father, not me. Regardless of my father's background, I have no power or power, and if my father doesn't favor me, I'm a pawn. If my father wants me to marry, I have to marry, and if he wants me to die, I have to die. ”
"If you are not married, you will rely on your father, but if you are married, you will rely on your husband. What can you do with this kind of life even if you do it all over again? ”
"I don't want that, Master." Yin Le said, "I want to throw away the fame and fortune that do not belong to me, rush to the front of those bureaucrats who claim to be high, and gain admiration for their own ability." ”
"Are you crazy?" Yin Le's wrist was grabbed by Song Yu violently, and the tension between his eyebrows was no longer hidden, "You should know how dangerous your thoughts are now. There are so many families in Chang'an City, women are just tools for marriage to them, if you want to join the government, who will give you a chance? Who will listen to you? ”
He said so much at once that he almost missed his breath, and couldn't help coughing again and again.
Yin Le raised his hand, wanting to help him smooth his breath, but was quickly blocked by Song Yuyan.
Yin Le's brows collapsed slightly, he got up without a word, poured a cup of hot water from the kettle that had been warm, and re-sent it to Song Yu's lips.
Song Yu kept coughing until he took two sips of water from the water cup and suppressed the cough.
"Master and I both know that." Yin Le propped up the edge of the bed with both hands, and turned his head to look at the flocking flames, "There will be a chance in the future that I can naturally obtain the title of official." ”
"Master, you can't fool me. You knew my ideals from the beginning, and you agreed with them. ”
"If you think my ideals are unrealistic, then you shouldn't fall in love with me at that time."
"I used to think that King Qin was my Bole, but now that I think about it, the master is. Since the Master has chosen me, he also means that my idea is feasible, so how can I go back on my word now? ”
"I know that the Master is afraid, just like in his previous life." She whispered, "I'm afraid that I will jump into the fire pit without hesitation, and I will win by any means, and finally I will lose both sides and die." ”
"But Master, if you reject me, I still have the crown prince, the king of Qi, and even An Shanxu, in the last life, you locked me in the backyard, I can break free from it, in this life, you can't pull me at all."
Yin Le's rebirth has never been just about making himself comfortable. She knew in her heart that she had done nothing wrong in her previous life. If she doesn't act in this life, the Yin family will fall, and even if Song Yu secretly helps, it will not be possible to have the glory of the past.
She didn't want to see such a miserable scene. She is her father's only child, and although she is a daughter, she does not dare to be silent.
What about my daughter? She passed the bet with the old lady and got the approval of King Qin, what is the difference between her and those men?
She is already on the right track, and she must not be pushed back to square one because of the man in front of her.
"Besides, has the Master forgotten?" She turned her face, smiled, and said softly, "Before we met Tang Zhan, Master said that if I completed this mission, Master would grant me a request. ”
"I'll tell you not to stop me, can't you?" She raised an eyebrow.
Yin Le kept a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely resolute. From beginning to end, she looked at Song Yu fixedly, just for him an answer.
Song Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, his wish would always backfire. Last time, last time, this time, too.
"This is my promise to you, you put it forward, I have no reason to refuse." He said.
"Thank you Master for your success, and in the future, I will ask Master to help me a lot."
"It's just that there are conditions for keeping you." Song Yu turned his eyes and looked at Yin Le seriously.
