Chapter 18: Lock up old dreams
As time approached little by little, Fu Lingyun regretted more and more that he wanted to take Nianzhu as a concubine, but looking at the smile on Nianzhu's sister's face, and the old father-in-law running around for their marriage every day, it was difficult for him to speak.
In the dead of night, he always walked alone to the third floor, and sat in the house where she once lived for the night, and his thoughts about her were as countless as the stars in the sky.
"Nianzhu, don't sleep at night, what are you doing standing here?" Liu Bua walked downstairs with an oil lamp in his hand and a smile on his face.
The only daughter is about to marry the grandson of the eldest princess of Murong Divine Doctor and the mayor of the town, and the future head of the Murong family. Even if it's just for a concubine, it's an unattainable existence.
Thinking that back then, the Tianyuan Kingdom was in crisis, and the surrounding countries were eyeing it, delusionally trying to annex the Tianyuan Kingdom, fortunately, the princess Baili Yu, the eldest princess of the town country, and Murong Hongming, the first divine doctor in the world, went to the front line, leading thousands of soldiers to defeat the enemy army and retreat, and never dared to invade the land again.
He is proud that the descendants of such a noble person now want to take his daughter as a concubine!
At the staircase leading to the third floor, a figure leaned against the wall in frustration, her face was lonely, "Dad, Brother Yun still can't forget her." ”
"Hmph, it's just a merchant's daughter, with the appearance of a fox spirit, and a heart full of copper stench, how can this kind of woman compare to my precious daughter." Liu Bu'a has always looked down on Liu Meier's background, and her face is not a woman from a good family at first glance, so she is even more disgusted.
Liu Nianzhu smiled bitterly, "But Brother Yun likes her." "That alone is enough.
Three years ago, in order to get rid of Liu Meier, she was injured by her design, but she didn't expect that not only her martial arts were wasted, but even her most basic rights as a woman were lost.
From then on, she could never be a mother again.
Thankfully, her goal was achieved.
When she woke up and learned that Brother Yun had reconciled with her, and that Liu Mei'er's woman had also left the Fu family, she felt happier than she had ever been.
Finally, Brother Yun was the only woman by his side.
However, after three years, why did she come back?
Seeing that her baby daughter became depressed because of this girl, Liu Bu'a's anger inevitably came out again, "Nianzhu, you go back and have a good rest, and your father will handle the rest." With that, he strode upstairs.
Seeing this, Liu Nianzhu hurriedly followed, "Dad, what are you going to do?" Don't be embarrassed Brother Yun, daddy......"
In the spacious room in the middle of the third floor, Fu Lingyun sat in front of the window, looking at the starry sky alone.
The night is so beautiful!
Mei'er, is she also under the same starry sky?
Thinking of this stunning woman who worried him, his heart couldn't help but throb faintly.
She's avoiding him, she doesn't want to see him!
While he was thinking about the shadow in his heart, suddenly, the door was vigorously pushed open from the outside.
Fu Lingyun turned his head to look at it, his face was a little surprised, "Father-in-law, ...... are you?"
"Da Lang, if you really don't like Nianzhu, then your father-in-law won't embarrass you, so go find a family and match Nianzhu out, and save Nianzhu to smile every day. It's so late, I don't worry about you, so I'll wait downstairs. Liu Bu'a came in and said with anger in his tone.
As soon as his words fell, Liu Nianzhu, who was following him, suddenly became anxious, "Dad, what are you talking nonsense?" Except for Brother Yun, I don't marry anyone. ”
"Silly girl, people don't like you, why do you bother to ride up?" Liu Bua pretended to sigh and said.
Liu Nianzhu walked to the window, pulled Fu Lingyun's sleeve tightly with his hand, and pleaded: "Brother Yun, you can help me talk to my father, I don't want to marry someone else." ”
"Father-in-law, isn't this marriage event a child's play, don't mess around with mandarin duck music anymore." Fu Lingyun could only persuade.
"It's good that you know, a manly husband, it's hard to chase after a horse, when Nianzhu stayed with you like that for one night, the reputation has been ruined, and you also promised to marry her, my father-in-law hopes that you can keep your promise, don't hurt Nianzhu's heart again."
A touch of bitterness flashed in Fu Lingyun's eyes, "Da Lang knows." ”
After getting a satisfactory reply, Liu Bu'a stroked his beard with joy on his face, and followed the temptation step by step, "Father-in-law knows that you like that demon girl, but you don't forget your identity, a woman from that kind of background is not worthy of being the mistress of our Murong family." ”
Shinong businessman, the status of a merchant is the most lowly, this woman is from such a low background, she is not qualified to be a concubine for the little master, how can he allow her to continue to be the wife of the eldest man.
He was glad that he had persecuted them three years ago. Otherwise, when that woman has the Murong family's seed in her belly, it will be difficult to get rid of her.
"Father-in-law, Mei'er is the daughter of a good family, don't look at her with strange eyes." Fu Lingyun retorted a little unhappily.
There is no distinction between high and low backgrounds, not to mention that the Fu family at the beginning could not even maintain a full mouth, if it wasn't for Mei'er leading them to make a fortune, they would have starved to death long ago.
Liu Bu'a snorted coldly, wanting to criticize this woman again, but was stopped by Liu Nianzhu's eyes, so he didn't say anything more.
"Brother Yun, don't blame your father, he is just straightforward." Liu Nianzhu turned to persuade.
Fu Lingyun shook his head and said, "I don't blame my father-in-law, but I hope you don't look at Mei'er like this in the future, she...... It's that I'm not worthy of her. ”
"I ...... I know. Speaking for other women in front of her, Liu Nianzhu's heart ached, but she didn't show it, and she still had a light smile on her face.
Liu Bu'a frowned, "Da Lang, you are the eldest grandson of the Murong family, a relative of the emperor, how can you not be worthy of the daughter of a businessman." If the princess of the town heard this, she would be angry. ”
Seeing him move out of his grandmother, Fu Lingyun was speechless.
Liu Nianzhu was busy playing a round for him, "Dad, it's not too early, you go back and rest." After speaking, he looked at the man beside him again, "Brother Yun, let's go down too." ”
It was difficult to remember the past tonight, Fu Lingyun sighed inwardly, and walked out of the room.
Liu Nianzhu followed.
The two of them walked a few steps before they heard a sound of locking from behind, Fu Lingyun hurriedly turned his head and looked at the room he had just walked out of, which was already locked at this time, and suddenly said nervously: "Father-in-law, why did you lock the door?" ”
"I'm about to get married, and there are many people, so the things inside will be damaged, so my father-in-law will lock the door first, and then hand over the key to you after the marriage." Liu Bu'a stretched out his hand and pointed to the two locked doors.
Of course, Fu Lingyun didn't believe his words, and when he wanted to return the key, he saw that he had already strode downstairs.
The door was locked, Liu Nianzhu was of course happy, in order to take care of the man next to her, she did not show a trace of joy, but worriedly persuaded: "Brother Yun, don't worry, I'll go and persuade Dad." ”
"Alas!" Fu Lingyun could only nod helplessly.
