Chapter 017: The Night Is Like Water

Meng Hui seemed to see her doubts, and pouted uncomfortably, the sullenness in his heart was even deeper, but he was extremely good at restraining his emotions, his expression on his face was light, but his tone unconsciously revealed a trace of coldness: "I naturally won't take him back to Mengfu, a person who is mixed in a brothel, how can I bring back the dirty land of Mengfu." ”

Lian Zhou smiled: "Young Master Meng, I am also a person from a brothel, I am still the lowest and most despised prostitute, although I am young, I have served countless men, why do you want to bring me back?" Aren't you afraid that I'll dirty your cleanliness? ”

Meng Hui frowned, his chin was slightly raised, and he only felt that the nameless anger in his heart was about to rush out, and the young man who was usually moody and invisible, frowned at the moment, his eyes were cold, and he said: "Sure enough, the child who was raised in an unclean place is so shameless when he speaks." ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted a little, but he didn't show a look of chagrin, but his eyes were slightly heavy, and he tried to calm the depression in his heart and the feeling of loss that came for some reason.

Lian Zhou's eyes flickered with blurry colors under the candlelight, and she raised her lips: "I don't know etiquette and righteousness, and I am shameless, I don't even deserve to lift shoes for Meng Gongzi, is a woman like me who is as cheap as mud also worthy of staying by Meng Gongzi's side?" ”

The night breeze lifted the cloth that blocked the window, like the coolness of water spreading in the carriage, and the red mole on Meng Hui's forehead was reflected in the moonlight that flowed through the gap. The young man listened to the girl's words quietly, his head was blown by the night breeze and became much more sober and peaceful, after thinking about it, he sorted out his emotions, tilted his head and chuckled: "It turns out that you are provoking me?" ”

The empty night is always easy to make the wandering wanderer feel melancholy. Lian Zhou's heart has been very blocked since Li Fu came out of the play, and she hates the feeling of her life and freedom in the hands of others. When she heard Meng Hui express his disdain for Qinglou, her head was hot, and she wanted to provoke this young man, she thought, although this young man looked calm, but he was extremely arrogant in his bones, if she used her status as a prostitute to say something in front of her that disgusted him, maybe he would let her go.

After Meng Hui saw the attempt, Lian Zhou immediately calmed down.

This approach is really irrational.

Meng Hui took such great pains to get her back, and he also risked his life and made a variety of arrangements, he knew at a glance that he wanted to use her to achieve his own goals, and it would definitely not be a simple matter to make this kind of son of power pay so much attention. Why would he stop and let her go because of a few angry words of his own?

She must have been suppressed for too long and upset before she would lose her mind and do such a stupid thing.

Meng Hui looked at Lian Zhou's face that suddenly calmed down, chuckled and said lightly: "Song Lianzhou, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to tell you, don't act rashly, otherwise you are not the only one who suffers." ”

Lian Zhou knew that Meng Hui was threatening her with Brother Ya'er, and when he saw that he was looking like he was determined to win, he was furious and said viciously: "If you dare to touch him, I will kill you!" ”

Meng Hui still didn't smile: "If you can kill me." ”

Even Zhou didn't speak for a long time, Meng Hui saw that she was slowly quieting down, and didn't pay attention, picked up a book from the small case in the carriage, and slowly turned the pages with her slender fingertips. At this time, the girl who was silent for a moment opened her lips slightly.

As if rebelling against the fate of this lonely suffering, she clenched her small hands into fists, her head was not lifted or lowered, she looked at the young man in front of her, and her lips opened slightly: "One day, I will." ”

The young man's hand paused, and his head was lifted from between the books, but he met Lianzhou's star-like eyes.

The girl's eyes are as clear as water, without impurities, like a starless and moonless night, and the deep and quiet night sky behind her. When she looked at him, there was no hatred in her eyes, only complete serenity and determination, even in the dim light, so transparent and clear.

Meng Hui's eyes sank, but he didn't say anything, lowered his head and flipped through the books, and the room was speechless.

It was in such silence that the carriage drove to its destination.

Lian Zhou stood beside the carriage and looked up at the front by the moonlight, and the word "Mengfu" on the red plaque was still so conspicuous.

She didn't even have a day before she was caught.

She escaped in the morning, and in the evening she ran back to here on her own.

She lowered her mind and followed Meng Hui into the gate.

It's still that room, the difference is that all the guards who were originally guarding her door have been removed, which means that she will be very free to come and go in the Meng Mansion in the future.

Lian Zhou looked at the spotless rosewood table, and the mixed tastes that he couldn't say in his heart turned into a wry smile that flashed on his lips.

Meng Hui had already grabbed her handle and threatened her with the life of her brother, so she naturally didn't dare to act rashly, so he withdrew his guards, because he was not afraid that she would run away at all.

She really didn't dare to run away. The danger of the elder brother was triggered by her, and she could not watch the child be harmed.

That's why she'll run back tonight.

She beat Chen Gui ruthlessly, in order to ask him to lure Meng Hui's people here, as long as someone saw her enter the Li Mansion, even if she was captured, Meng Hui would be able to find Li Feizhu here.

As long as she told Meng Hui that Ya'er's brother meant a lot to her, Meng Hui would also rescue him.

Because he can use this to threaten her and make her obey him.

There will be much less obstacles in his way forward.

Is it worth it or not? With her hard-won freedom, she will be safe and sound for an irrelevant person.

Whether it's worth it or not, she has to admit it.

There is no turning back.

Even if there were, the goodness of her heart would not let her choose another path.

She raised her head, patted her face with her hand, and tried to squeeze out a smile, slowly enlivening her emotions.

She rubbed her face and said to herself over and over again:

I'm going to be strong, and I'm going to take down everyone who stands in my way.

Although she couldn't be completely happy, the gloom in her heart gradually faded a little because of this self-amusing act. The dark road ahead, like her heart, shimmered little by little.

At this time, Lian Zhou was still lamenting slightly, she didn't know what kind of impact today's actions would have on herself in the future, and what she didn't know was that her life would turn a new page.
