Chapter 1: Deception

Next Chapter

Su Jin's eyelids have been beating since the morning, and she feels a little uneasy in her heart, always feeling like something is going to happen. This feeling made her feel terrible.

On her side, the maid Xia He put the cloak on her and said with relief, "Miss, don't worry too much, I believe you will be able to see the ninth master soon." ”

"Yes." Su Jin raised his head and looked at the heavy snow outside the house, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, "Brother Ling has always been reluctant to tell me more about something, and this time I let Ah Quan fly the pigeon and write a book, and I don't know what happened." ”

"yes." The maid sighed and said, "But the ninth master has his own heavenly blessing, and he will definitely be fine." As she spoke, she lowered her eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and asked, "Miss, what do you think of this ......matter?"

"No, it won't!" Su Jin scolded, turned his head and glared at Xia He, "Daddy has always done things above board, it's impossible to do this kind of thing!" ”

"It's Xia He's gaffe, please forgive Miss." Xia He lowered his head, with a hint of trepidation in his tone.

"Don't let me hear these words again!"

"Yes." Xia He's two hands couldn't help but be twisted together, and after a while, she calmed down a little, and then asked in a low voice, "It's late at night now, why don't you rest first?" ”

"Nope." Su Jin tightened the cloak on her body, turned around and looked out the window again.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. One is her father, the other is the person she loves, she desperately wants to know the truth, how can she sleep?

Nangong Ling, a man who has lived in her heart since she was a child, she once tried her best to let him get her father's favor. However, Daddy always disliked him.

But over the years, even if Daddy no longer likes Nangong Ling, and Ah Quanxin has mentioned many times that Daddy wants to get rid of Nangong Ling, but she won't believe that Daddy will really do this. What she cares about is whether Nangong Ling's heart has always thought that Daddy wants to harm him?

Su Jin's heart was extremely confused, she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it deeply, she was afraid that once she thought about it deeply, the truth she knew was unacceptable to her!

Xia He saw Su Jin standing there, and seemed to have made up his mind to wait for Nangong Ling to come back. So, she turned around, came to the collapsed table, picked up the hand stove that had been prepared, and then walked quickly to Su Jin's side and handed the hand stove to her.

"Since Miss wants to insist on waiting, the slave and maid will no longer dissuade her, but Miss can't freeze herself."

"Yes." Su Jin took the hand stove, hugged it to his chest, and said, "You go to the front yard and ask the housekeeper to see if Brother Ling is coming back." ”

"Yes." Xia He responded, came to the door, picked up the umbrella by the door, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the front yard.

"It's snowing so hard tonight!" The place where Xia He walked left deep footprints. Tonight is the Laba Festival, and Su Jin remembers that at this time in previous years, the snow was not as heavy as it was today. And she will sit around the table with her father and sister to eat Laba porridge during the Laba Festival, if there is no person in between, it is really happy.

But not today. She escaped without telling her father, and her father didn't like Nangong Ling, but if something happened to Nangong Ling, she couldn't let it go.

It's just that she has arrived at Nangong Ling's mansion in Jingzhou, but she hasn't seen her brother Ling for a long time.

Su Jin sighed into the palm of his hand, ready to close the door and window, but as soon as his hand was raised, there was a faint sound of "click" footsteps outside the door, Su Jin's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly, "Xia He, is there news of Brother Ling?" ”

However, after a sound, the footsteps also stopped.

It's not Xia He! Su Jin's brows furrowed, if it was Xia He, it shouldn't be so fast. Her heart sank, and she closed the doors and windows. But the beating of her brows made her heart always feel a little uneasy.

Should you see for yourself? She asked herself. She hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door and walked out in the snow.

The front yard is not far, as long as you bypass the pavilion corridor of "Jingyuxuan". However, perhaps because of the heavy snow tonight, there was no one to watch the night watch in this huge mansion.

After passing through the pavilion, Su Jin saw the lights on in the room in the front yard, and Su Jin remembered that the housekeeper said that it was Nangong Ling's main room. Su Jinwan'er, "Xia He, this girl doesn't know where she went, Brother Ling's room is lit, and she can't be seen on the road." ”

She tugged at her cloak again, hugging the stove tighter. In the cold wind, Su Jin's hair was already messy, and she raised it with one hand to pull away the hair in front of her forehead. The fingertips touched the reddish face, and it felt cold.

"Brother Ling, how can you do this to me!" The voice was charming, with a little dissatisfaction, Su Jin's hand paused.

This is Xia He's voice, she is actually in Nangong Ling's room?!

"Okay, what are you going to do with this, I haven't treated you badly in so many years." Nangong Ling's voice followed, and she sounded a little impatient. But for some reason, Su Jin's fingers became more and more cold.

What the hell were the two of them doing in the room in the middle of the night!

"I don't care, if you let her come to you like this this time, doesn't it prove that you have her in your heart?!"

"Miss Xiahe, you are always so cranky! You know, she still has a lot of effect on me! ”

"What can it do?!" Xia He was disgusted, and it came into Su Jin's ears, which was extremely harsh.

"Hmph," through the door, Su Jin still felt the mockery in his tone, "You must know that although the Su family is only a merchant, it has the will of the first emperor, and whoever inherits the throne must marry the daughter of the Su family." Not only that, the relatives of the Su family are all important ministers in the court, and if I marry the daughter of the Su family, I will definitely get more support. It's just that this old man Su stopped him in every possible way, so I had to kill him! ”

With a "boom", Su Jin felt like a lightning strike, felt a buzzing in his head, the center of gravity of his body was crooked, and the hand stove slipped and fell on the snow.

What is he, what is Fang Cai talking about?!

In her ears, she vaguely remembered her father's admonition to her, "Jin'er, you have to remember that although our Su family is just a merchant, because of our special relationship with the former emperor, as well as the complicated status of the Su family's relatives in the court, it may be that every choice you make will determine the major events in the court." Therefore everyone that comes near you, be careful and heedy. Because only you and Daddy are the only ones in the world who are really worthy of your trust! ”

Once upon a time, she laughed at Daddy because of these words. No matter how important her choice is, it can't be compared to someone who truly loves her and protects her!

The door was opened in a hurry. Su Jin raised her eyes and felt that her entire body was stiff.

"It's you!" Xia He's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of mockery in surprise, "Shouldn't Miss be waiting for news in the room?" How did you get here? ”

"Shut up!" Nangong Ling looked at Su Jin and frowned. Xia He snorted lightly and reluctantly silenced.

He was really careless tonight, seeing Su Jin like this, he should have heard it, and he didn't even notice it when she came over!

"Nangong Ling, how are you!" The coldness of her whole body made her feel piercing and numb. His trembling hands clutched his thighs tightly, forcing himself not to cry.

"Did you hear it all?" In a moment, Nangong Ling had calmed down.

"Yes." It hurt in her heart, it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe, but she had to force herself not to fall like this. "Now, what are you going to do?" She opened her lips with a poignant smile on her lips. How pitiful, how sad! From childhood to adulthood, what kind of person did she fall in love with?!

"Jin'er," he also called her Jin'er, but without a trace of warmth and affection, "Now that you have heard it, you should understand what choice you need to make, you have been a smart person since you were a child." ”

"Clever?" She stumbled, a tear running through the corner of her left eye. It was cold, as if it was about to pierce her skin. If she was smart, how could she be deceived by him? If she is smart, why has she never taken every warning from Daddy to heart?!

Dad......

Daddy, who has loved her the most since she was a child, what did she do!

"Jin'er."

"Stop calling me Jin'er!" She hissed and roared, and the grief that she had tried so hard to suppress finally erupted irrepressibly, "Nangong Ling, I, Su Jin, really misjudged you, and would fall in love with a despicable villain like you!" You want to take advantage of me? Do you want the support of the Su family? You dream! ”

"My marriage with the Su family is inevitable."

"Ha," Su Jin smiled even more sadly, "But, I heard it, what should I do?" Nangong Ling, what should you do? Do you think I'm going to marry you now? ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he kicked up, his robe fluttered, and the dark sleeves of his shirt formed a sharp contrast in the snow. Suddenly, he landed in front of her, raised his right hand, and slammed his grip on her neck.

"You know, what I want to get, I never get it! If you don't want to, someone can take your place! ”

"Heh......"

"What, don't you believe it?" He raised his lips and smiled a little coldly, "You shouldn't forget, in addition to you, the Su family has a daughter!" If you're gone, what's the matter if you're a concubine? ”

"What do you mean?!" Su Jin grabbed his hand, and a trace of fear stood out in her heart.

"What do you mean?" Nangong Ling shook his hand and pushed Su Jin away, "Do you think you are the only one who is devoted to me in the Su family?" Tsk, my little Jin'er, your sister, Su Wanyue has been secretly sending autumn waves to me for a long time, you say, if I am willing to marry her, will she be happy and immediately pounce? ”

"Nangong Ling!"

"What, angry?! Xiao Jin'er, Xiao Jin'er, you should understand me?! Nangong Ling approached her, raised her hand, and ran her thumb through her hair, but when she lowered her eyebrows, her eyes swept over her sleeves, and when she saw the ghostly light, her eyes became colder and colder, "Actually, I can't bear you!" ”

"Hmm......" Su Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, and a pair of eyes stared at him deadly. Nangong Ling pushed again, Su Jin fell, the snowflakes on the snow were shaken up, the fingers under the sleeves were loose, and a hairpin rolled down to the snow. Xia He exclaimed behind him, and when he ran over, he saw a silver needle stuck in Su Jin's head.

Nangong Ling said coldly, "If you can't control it, what's the use of me." ”

Turning around, he was resolute and cold-blooded, Xia He covered his mouth, his body staggered, and he almost fell into the snow.
