"Tick" -

A round drop of rain slid off the roof of the car like a ball, hit Shan Linfeng's soaked shoes, splashed a small splash, and then disappeared into the waterhole on the side of the road.

"The eldest young master......"

Lao Li, who was still holding a handful of hay in his hand, couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes when he saw Shan Linfeng suddenly come to the backyard again, but Shan Linfeng just smiled at him and said softly: "It's hard work, but I may have to trouble you again." ”

"I'm fine......" Lao Li liked this pair of gentle young masters, but he still felt a little sorry for the horses he brought up with his own hands, and asked with some concern: "Where is the eldest young master going?" ”

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Alas...... This Junbao has just come back......"

When he wanted to speak and stopped, Lao Li's thoughts couldn't stop returning to half an hour ago-

"Lao Li, just stop here."

Shan Linfeng's voice sounded a little tired, but it still made people feel like a spring breeze, so that Lao Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Early this morning, the eldest young master ignored the stormy weather and let himself drive to the Qingyu Temple ten miles away.

The muddy and crooked mountain road, the constant bumps along the way, even if he was wearing a coat, was drenched, not to mention how much of a sin the horse had suffered in the rain.

"Alas, young master, let's do it, it's not bad for this road, the rain has just stopped."

Lao Li lightly whipped the horsewhip, and a thick breath came, and the carriage slowly drove into the alley, stopping next to a small wooden door.

After Shan Linfeng got out of the car, he smiled at Lao Li a little apologetically, and then entered the house through the back door, and the blue corners of his clothes disappeared behind the brown wooden door.

Lao Ji was stunned for a moment after seeing Shan Linfeng's smile, and by the time he came to his senses, Shan Linfeng had already entered the mansion.

So, he looked up at the weather that had stopped raining, but was still gloomy, and felt a cool breeze, feeling a little uneasy.

Lao Li thought about it for a while, then ignored the already soaked clothes on his body, quickly unloaded the carriage, and took Ma Junbao into the stable.

Lao Li loves horses, which is a well-known thing in the house.

Therefore, after returning to the house, the first thing Lao Ji did was to lead the horse to the horse house to shelter from the rain and feed the grain, so as not to rain again, so that the tired and fast horse, who had been running in the torrential rain for more than an hour, fell ill.

However, now, Shan Linfeng actually asked him to take the horse out again, which inevitably made him a little distressed and puzzled:

This young master just got home, why is he going out again? I haven't changed my wet clothes yet......

Junbao hasn't eaten enough.

Moreover, why did you suddenly go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? You must know that the eldest young master has not been to the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than a month.

However, Lao Gui didn't want to think about it, Shan Linfeng walked to the back door, and waited quietly for him to lead the carriage out, and the pale blue figure became a little deserted in this gray weather.

Lao Ji knew Shan Linfeng's stubbornness, so he could only shake his head helplessly, looked at Junbao who was soaked in the stable, and said to himself: "Junbao, you eat first, I'll let Jundi do it for you." So saying, he took another horse out and carefully fastened the carriage to it.

"Smack"――

Lao Ji raised his whip slightly, and the wet carriage slowly moved out of the alley.

However, before they could walk out of the alley, a tall figure stood in front of them, so that Lao Ji had to restrain the fast horse that had just lifted his steps.

"Brother, you're not kind."

I saw Shan Lunan, who was dressed in a dark auspicious cloud dark pattern and brocade with gold edges, and a pair of eagle eyes were looking at the car steadily, and the thick curtain seemed to be transparent to him.

"Second Young Master......"

Lao Ji looked at the person in front of him, his eyes turned red, and blood slowly surged on his old face, as if he wanted to refill the shriveled lines on his face.

"Lao Ji! You're old too......" Shan Lunan looked at the silver-haired Lao Ji, and sighed with emotion in his heart. However, when he saw Lao Ji's left hand holding the horsewhip, he only felt a pain in his heart: Lao Ji was a master of knives in the house......

"Yes. The second young master has grown up......" Lao Ji muttered, couldn't help but wipe his somewhat dizzy eyes, and then looked forward seriously, and found that the heroic young man was looking at him with a deep face—he finally dared to be sure: it turned out that Shan Lunan was really back!

"Lu Nan, get in the car." Shan Linfeng had long known that Shan Lunan had returned to the capital and had caused trouble, so he had been hiding outside and did not dare to go home, for fear of being punished by his father.

He has also been ignoring this matter, after all, if he cares, I am afraid that Shan Lunan's life will be even more difficult.

For this only younger brother, Shan Linfeng was a little helpless in the end: it was really a show to meet a soldier, and it was unreasonable.

But at this moment, the matter is important, and Shan Linfeng also knows that Shan Lian is letting the two brothers go together, so he does not plan to avoid Shan Lunan, but plans to take him with him.

"Okay."

Shan Lunan smiled, jumped into the carriage, looked at the jade man in the car with his eyes closed, and said loudly: "The eldest brother has grown up, but his temperament has not changed." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Shan Linfeng slowly raised his eyes, looked at the pine and tall young man in front of him, and was relieved, but said: "You kid, you haven't grown up at all, and you still have to worry about us." ”

"Brother......" When Shan Lunan heard this, he instantly lowered his head a little embarrassed like a child who had done something wrong: "Who let that person say something that shouldn't be said...... Am I not doing it for the good of Qing'er? ”

"What did the man say?" Shan Linfeng didn't carefully understand the ins and outs of Shan Lunan's trouble, but was a little curious about what that person said, so he couldn't help but come out with a killer.

Shan Lunan stared at Shan Linfeng in disbelief, with a look of "you really don't know", which made Shan Linfeng cry and laugh a little, "Your brother is very busy, and I don't have time to revolve around you all day." ”

"Oh......" Shan Lunan put away his slightly lost thoughts, and carefully told everything that happened, including his conversation with Shan Lian.

"So Uncle agreed?" Shan Linfeng was a little nervous in his heart, although he didn't know what he was nervous about.

"I haven't ...... yet" Shan Lunan frowned, and said a little unhappily: "He said he had something to do, so he sent me away......

"Really?" Shan Linfeng glanced at Shan Lunan's increasingly red face with some amusement, and couldn't help but quip: "I'm afraid there is something else hidden." ”

"Brother!"

Even if he killed Shan Lunan, he would not tell Shan Linfeng that he fled because Shan Lian wanted to call Wulu to the study.

"Alright." Shan Linfeng looked at Shan Lunan, who was a little embarrassed, smiled to himself, and then closed his eyes, feeling a little helpless: It seems that the uncle still agreed.

Outside the car, a thin rain began to fall again, sprinkled with water, and fell on the vast world.

Shan Ruqing walked to the window, felt the cool rain coming towards her, and silently closed the window that had just been opened for a long time.

"Daddy, why did you ask Brother Linfeng and Brother Lu Nan to come over?" After Shan Ruqing closed the window, she slowly paced to the side of the bed, looking at Shan Lian, who was lying in the bed with a somewhat pale face, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you let them come back tomorrow?" ”

"No......" Shan Lian closed her eyes and shook her head slowly, "Some things are better solved as soon as possible." ”

Shan Ruqing still wanted to say something, but looking at Shan Lian who closed her eyes, she had to hold back and not say: It seems that her falling into the water is inseparable from the two brothers Shan Linfeng and Shan Lunan.

"Master, the two young masters have arrived."

The magpie's voice came from outside the door, and Shan Ruqing couldn't help but get goosebumps when she heard it, and then said faintly: "Let them in." ”

"Yes."

The door opened.

The familiar light blue was like sunshine, exuding bursts of warmth, and Xiang Shan Ruqing came slowly: "Sister." ”

"Brother Linfeng......" Before Shan Ruqing finished speaking, she saw an unfamiliar face suddenly poking out from behind Shan Linfeng, with a row of white swaying teeth, which made her a little dazzled: "Hehe, Qing'er, I'm here too." ”

"Are you...... Brother Green? ”

Shan Ruqing looked at the very heroic young man in front of him, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Shan Lunan raised his two sword eyebrows upward, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a faint smile, his lips that were not thin or thick opened slightly, and a loud voice came out between his teeth: "Is Qing'er recuperating from illness and stupidity?" Don't you remember me? I've used to sneak you out of the house with me a lot......"

"Ahem!" Shan Linfeng coughed heavily, which silenced Shan Lunan suddenly, and Shan Ruqing, who was watching, was even more puzzled: What happened to these two brothers?

However, at this moment, Shan Linfeng's frowning brows were like a mess, looking at Shan Lian on the bed, he was even more uneasy: "Sister, what's going on?" ”

"Alas...... That's what I want to ask you. Shan Ruqing glanced at Shan Linfeng deeply, and told Shan Linfeng about the conversation between herself and Shan Lian.

Looking at the changing look on Shan Linfeng's face, Shan Ruqing's heart sank little by little: they really participated in his falling into the water.

"So...... I think Daddy asked you to come because you know something, so ......" Shan Ruqing wanted to know the answer, especially since she knew that she was only one step away from the answer, "Can you tell me the truth?" What happened to the overboard? ”

"Sister......" After listening to what Shan Ruqing said, Shan Linfeng couldn't help but loosen his brows, and smiled a little resignedly: "The matter of falling into the water was originally discussed by me, Lu Nan and Uncle. ”

"Why?"

I don't know why, when Shan Ruqing heard Shan Linfeng's words, her heart was unusually calm, as if everything had fallen into dust, and there was no room for it.

"In order to let my sister die, and then let her really live."

"What do you mean?"

The dust in Shan Ruqing's heart couldn't help but "bang" in the air again because of this heavy falling sentence.

"That's ......" Shan Linfeng looked at Shan Ruqing, whose pupils were like a black pool, and touched her head with some pity, and her warm voice gushed out like a spring: "After my sister fell into the water, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion died." And the real Shan Ruqing can stay away from officialdom, family, and even Shan Fu, and live alone in this world chic and free. ”

"So what?"

Shan Ruqing's nose was a little sour, her heart was already full of waterfall dust, and the answer buried in her heart was about to come out, but she tried her best to suppress it, and her eyes became more and more red.

"Ruqing, you don't want to listen to your aunt's arrangement to enter the palace, we know it. So, I wanted to take you out of the house, just like when I was a child. It's just that this time, it's the uncle and Brother Linfeng who came up with the idea together......" Shan Lunan said this, and couldn't help choking up: "But Brother Lunan is useless...... I couldn't get Qing'er up in time......"

"Brother Lunan...... Don't cry. ”

After the dust cleared, Shan Ruqing felt as if she was being pressed by a big stone in her heart, and she knew the truth, but she felt a little breathless:

This love is too heavy, how can she bear it?

It turned out that the so-called falling into the water was just a "golden cicada shell" plan, a "stupid thing" that made the three men in front of them give themselves freedom at the risk of bullying the king.

But why am I not happy at all after hearing this, but feel very sad?

Yes.

If she hadn't come to this world rashly, then the real Prime Minister's Mansion would have been able to live as freely and happily as they thought.

What did you do......

"I'm sorry......" Shan Ruqing couldn't hold back any longer, the tears in her eyes were like the rain outside, falling bigger and bigger, gradually blurring the world in front of her.

"Qing'er, you don't have to apologize. It's all fate......" Shan Lian said slowly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "What's more, the people who are behind the scenes haven't figured it out yet." ”

"Boom" -

A flash of lightning fell from the sky, and the deafening thunder made the magpie standing outside the door tremble: this weather ...... It's really scary!

Not long after, Shan Lunan took the unconscious Aunt Yan to stop the carriage that had just gone out.

As soon as he walked into the room, he didn't have time to change his wet clothes, so he heard Shan Lunan "bang" open his door, and said a little anxiously: "Uncle sent someone to find us to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”
