The rain was pouring in the sky, lightning and thunder were roaring, but the people who were supposed to hide at home were holding umbrellas and looking at the men kneeling down the street.

The rain drenched his robes, and his black hair was tangled together like a snake's pendulum, and a huge thunderbolt swept past him, almost slashing him.

Watching the lively crowd, someone seemed to be shouting, "Isn't this the young master of Chengguo's family?" ”

"Really." Someone discussed, "Isn't it crazy to lose your heart, how did you kowtow on the street." ”

"I heard that he was very smart, and even the emperor praised him very much." In the crowd, it is not known where the sound is coming from.

While the people were talking, they saw a few carriages coming, and before they could stop it, a woman with a still charm came out of it.

The woman had two thin willow eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and the years had not left too many traces on her face, so she must have been a beautiful woman with outstanding demeanor when she was young.

She was hugged by a group of maids and maids behind her, and hurried towards the man who kept bowing. When everyone saw it clearly, they found out that this was the wife of Duke Chengguo.

"My son, what are you doing here, don't you go back quickly." The old lady saw that Donglang's clothes were full of sludge, but she was like duckweed in the wind and rain, and immediately cried, "Do you want your mother's life?" ”

The maids had already hit the umbrella on his head, and he raised his head to look at his mother, "Mother, go back, don't worry about me." ”

"I'm just a son like you, don't you let me even have someone to send to the end?" Duchess cried: "If I have any other hope, I don't care if you die here today." ”

Dong Lang pushed the umbrella on his head away, and the rain suddenly poured up, "I made a bet with others, and if I lost, I would kneel for a hundred miles, and now it is still more than half." ”

Hearing this, the old lady cried: "It's just a bet, it was originally a naughty joke, do you want to pay for your life?" ”

Dong Lang took a step forward directly, then knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again, "Dong Lang is not filial, mother should go back." ”

"I'm just asking if it's because of the smoke." The Duchess's face was tense like a rock, and the corners of her mouth looked a little hideous because of the exertion.

"Mother don't care." As he spoke, he took another step, and slammed into the ground.

Seeing that Dong Lang did not deny it, she was even more convinced of the suspicion in her faith, and a strong hatred slowly came out of her eyes.

"Smoke." There was an indescribable hatred on Duchess Guo's face, which seemed to be suppressing it vigorously, "Why don't you come over and persuade the young master." ”

Yu Zhiyan was originally standing behind the crowd, but at this time, the crowd actually made a way, she walked over slowly, and looked at Dong Lang who was kneeling on the ground.

When he heard Yan'er's name, his pale face finally loosened a little, and he raised his head, a faint smile floated in his eyes, but his brows gradually wrinkled.

He casually snatched the paper umbrella in the hand of a maid, slowly walked to Yu Zhiyan's side, and then gently handed her hand, "You stupid girl, you don't know how to take care of your body." ”

Yu Zhiyan realized that she had never covered her umbrella, but she didn't realize it.

Her cold fingers touched his, only to realize that he was colder than her own.

"Slaves are not worth it." Yu Zhiyan was like Gu Jing's eyes with complexity, "Young Master go back." ”

Dong Lang smiled at her, but still leaned over and bowed.

At this time, a horse ran from afar, and immediately sat Gu Su, whose face was pale, and there were more and more people watching the excitement at this time, and the sound almost covered up the earth-shattering thunder.

Gu Su must have heard about this a long time ago, he immediately got down, and then pulled out a long sword from the hand of the guard behind him, and pointed the sharp sword at his son, "If you are taking a step, I will kill you immediately, and throw it into the face of the ancestors and ancestors." ”

Seeing this, the old lady was willing to follow, and was busy grabbing her husband, but was thrown away by the other party, "Get out-"

Dong Lang's eyes were already spreading with determination, and he still stepped forward to kowtow, ignoring the cold sharp blade.

Chengguo shivered with anger, a cold light flashed, and the cold blade fell on the back of his neck.

Yu Zhiyan's eyes closed suddenly, her hands clenched tightly on the handle of the umbrella in her hand, and she told herself that it was all over.

After a long time, she didn't hear any sound, but she saw the sword fall to the ground, and Chengguo Gong seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, "Son." ”

After all, it is the flesh and blood of his dearest, how can he do it.

After he had said these two words, he took the weeping lady and the little maid of the family and rode away in a carriage.

At this moment, a thunderclap flashed, and the tree by the roadside was forcibly broken, and it was only half a step away from him.

A warm hand pulled Yu Zhiyan to the shop next to her, and when she raised her head, she saw that it was her cousin Yun Peichang.

"Sister, this man loves you so much, why do you want to put him to death?" Yun Peichang's voice was soft and gentle, as if it was a beautiful fairy music, "Sister Frost's death is not all his fault, why can't you forgive him." ”

A trace of mist slowly appeared under Yu Zhiyan's eyes, "I can't even forgive myself, let alone him, I can't forget the time when my sister died, her eyes looked straight at me, looking at me-"

——————

In the Cheng'en Mansion, Dong Lang had passed out when he was carried back, and then invited the imperial doctor from the palace overnight for consultation.

There are also rumors in the house, but there is no one who knows the cause and the reason.

Knowing that in the middle of the night, he woke up leisurely, and only one name was recited in his mouth, "Yan'er." ”

When his mother saw that he was so mad about a woman, she was immediately angry and hated, so she had to call Yu Zhiyan overnight to serve her son.

When Yu Zhiyan arrived, he saw that his face was a little terrifying, and his black hair wet with sweat was on his slightly exposed neck. Seeing her, the deathly eyes finally had a slight twitch.

"I'll get your stuff back for you." Dong Lang smiled reluctantly, and his chapped lips oozed a little fishy sweetness, "Give." ”

Yu Zhiyan gritted her teeth, forcibly holding back the tumbling of her heart, she took the things in his hand, only to see that it was a marriage book, a fake marriage book.

A cool breeze blew in her heart, and she felt that it was all over, and she could no longer watch herself sink.

"Is the young master willing to marry me?" Su Zhulu finally smiled and said, "Young Master, are you willing to carry me into the mansion with eight sedan chairs?" ”

When Dong Lang heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, he looked at him and her in disbelief, and then said in a trembling voice, "You-you are really willing to marry me." ”

Yu Zhiyan smiled: "The slave is willing." ”

Dong Lang, who was originally powerless, sat up suddenly, hugged her shoulders and hugged her in his arms. She felt the silk shirt on her back wet for a while, and she cried when she thought about this dignified seven-foot man.

He seemed to be really tired, most of the time he was drowsy, and only occasionally woke up, so he always took the trouble to ask Yu Zhiyan if he was willing to marry him.

Until the sky was white, Dong Lang gradually fell asleep after taking the decoction, Yu Zhiyan smoked back the hand he held tightly, and then came outside the house.

It wasn't until he heard her affirmative answer that he fell asleep with a gradual smile.

But in the hall, Bao Xiao'er was kneeling in front of the Guanyin statue, closing her eyes reverently, as if she was praying for Donglang.

When she heard the sound, she raised her head suddenly, "You said you want to marry the young master, what is the purpose?" ”

Bao Xiao'er has served by Donglang's side since she was a child, and she is used to seeing him acting as a prestige and making trouble, but he is still her noble young master, and he is the plague god that everyone in the house is afraid of. But when I went to the Marriage Temple three years ago, the young master came back like a demon, went to find a woman named Yu Zheshuang, and finally found out that it was the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion.

A woman from a mere Shangshu family, how could she be worthy of him from a family of Shanghoumen, but he ignored the opposition of his parents, and married the woman named Yu Zheshuang after proposing marriage. However, on the night of the candle in the cave room, he came out of the marriage room with only one sentence in his mouth, "It's not her—it's not her." ”

Bao Xiao'er naturally knew that it wasn't her, the woman in the painting was overwhelmed, and even her was heartbroken when she saw it.

In the next three years, he went crazy looking for this woman, even if it was a Qinglou woman who looked like that woman, he had to get into the mansion and spoil him in every way.

Just when he thought that the young master was gradually forgetting the woman, this smoke came. And when she took a look at it for the first time, she felt that this might not be the beauty in the young master's painting anymore. Because the woman in the painting is innocent and romantic, but the woman's eyes are clearly shrewd and calculating, which makes people fearful.

Sure enough, after this woman appeared by the young master's side, the young master didn't have a good day. And when this woman said that she wanted to marry the young master, she actually felt a bad premonition, as if he would fall into the abyss immediately, but she couldn't pull him.

Yu Zhiyan knelt on the pier beside her, and kowtowed respectfully, "Sister Xiao'er, what are these words, the young master treats his sister well, and his sister's heart is not a stubborn stone, how can there be a reason to cover it not hot." ”

"If I know that you approached the young master with bad intentions, I will definitely make you pay the price." Bao Xiao'er's voice was full of warnings.

Yu Zhiyan didn't speak, but walked straight to the outside of the house, the crane was frightened in the yard, flapping its wings, just flew into the sky only a few feet, and was dragged down by the iron chain under its feet.

The crane flapped its wings and lifted the petals on the ground.

At this time, an angry voice came, "Slut, you dare to bully even the young master's favorite crane, don't you want your little life?" ”

The flower Rusha seemed to be in a hurry, the hairpin ring on her head was messed up all of a sudden, and the delicate face turned into anger, "The old lady doesn't allow me to enter the house to serve Donglang, why do you slut stay here." ”

"The slave maid greets my aunt." Yu Zhiyan didn't seem to want to deal with this woman who bit like a mad dog.

Hua Rusha saw that she was fearless, presumably the lesson given to her was not enough, and just wanted to tell the slave behind her to clean up the cigarettes, but saw a woman with a blue face coming out of the room.

"What are you yelling here, the young master is asleep, and even the people we serve don't dare to shout loudly." Bao Xiao'er walked over, and didn't even invite An, "It turned out to be Aunt Hua, I said who is so ignorant of eyes and making trouble here." ”

Although Hua Rusha was arrogant, she didn't dare to do anything to Bao Xiao'er, so she only said: "I'll go and see the young master." ”

Bao Xiao'er said: "Madame ordered it yesterday, I'm afraid that my aunt will be noisy, and the young master will be upset when she sees it, so please go back." ”

"Do you dare that old lady to press me?" Hua Rusha knew that the old lady liked Bao Xiao'er very much, and became more and more jealous.

"The old lady went to sleep at dawn, if the aunt makes trouble again, you might as well marry the old lady and call up, and see how she regulates you."

The gums of the flower clenched, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Who knew that as soon as Hua Rusha left, a man dressed in brocade clothes walked in, "Is the eldest brother's illness better?" I heard that those imperial doctors prescribed a few doses of fierce medicine, can the eldest brother's body still stand it? ”

Bao Xiao'er said respectfully, "Back to the second young master's words, seeing that the palace exam is imminent, the lord and his wife are afraid of delaying the exam." However, after taking the medicine yesterday, the eldest young master's body and bones are better, so I bother you to remember. ”

At this time, the sun shone faintly on him, and his gestures exuded elegance, "I'll go and see the eldest brother." ”

Yu Zhiyan kept staring at his departing back, looking thoughtful. At this time, a girl came to find Bao Xiao'er to support the silver, and she led the little girl to the warehouse.

Yu Zhiyan squinted slightly, and a little girl in red came over with tea, and hurriedly took it, "Give it to me, the young master just fell asleep, you are clumsy, don't wake him up." ”

The little girl knew that she was a first-class maid by Aunt Meng's side, so she naturally didn't dare to argue with her, so she had to hand her the tea tray.

Yu Zhiyan walked into the house with tea, but saw that Gu Yu had already come out of the bedroom, and he must have just checked Gu Yu's condition.

She immediately lowered her head and slammed into it, the teacups in the tray suddenly staggered, and the warm tea was all poured on Gu Yu's body.

"Second Young Master forgive sins." Yu Zhiyan's voice was full of fear.

Gu Yu's voice was full of displeasure, he looked at his unrecognizable robe, "Go and ask someone to bring a robe from my room, and you can serve more carefully in the future." ”

Seeing that he was so indifferent, Yu Zhiyan actually had a trace of disgust in his voice.

After a few moments, his personal servant brought over a crescent-white robe. Yu Zhiyan went to the inner room, but saw that he had already taken off his soaked outer robe.

Yu Zhiyan walked over respectfully, "The slave will help you change your clothes." ”

He didn't refuse, but his eyes didn't fall on Yu Zhiyan's body for a moment, as if he didn't recognize her at all as the little guy who was talking to him outside the mansion that day.

When he went to help him straighten the collar of his robe, he found a red rope hanging from his neck, which had been hanging for a long time, but it was faintly black.

She reached out for her long nails, and with a slight cut, the red rope broke.

A dark green jade pendant fell to the ground suddenly, he hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, but saw that the jade pendant was in ordinary color, not a good color, but there was a name engraved on it, "Si Yu".

When Gu Yu saw that he was holding his jade pendant in his hand, he was immediately furious, and he snatched it away at once.

He carefully checked whether the jade was intact, and when he saw that a small corner had been knocked off, he said angrily: "I know what kind of mind you have, deliberately pouring tea on a man, this kind of subordinate means to make it out, it must be a restless one." ”

Only then did Yu Zhiyan know why he had never had a good face for himself since just now, and it turned out that he was a maid who wanted to climb high branches in the city.

She boasted of her beauty, but this eldest young master played his cards completely out of common sense, and he was so disgusted with her.

By this time, he had already tidied up his clothes and went out without looking back.

Yu Zhiyan stayed for half the night in Donglang, she was already tired and sore, she was sitting in the yard dozing, and Aunt Meng also came over.

It seems that the masters in the house are almost complete.

I haven't seen her face a little ruddy for a few days, but when I saw Yu Zheyan, her face was full of gentleness, "I personally stewed some bird's nest porridge, and when Donglang woke up, I asked the girls to serve him and drink it." ”

Yu Zhiyan nodded and took it, but said with a smile: "Why doesn't my aunt personally serve it to the young master, otherwise I will let those slaves and maids please me." ”

"He probably doesn't want to see me." Aunt Meng smiled, what she said was true, Dong Lang had accused her several times in front of people,

She was about to turn around but was stopped by Yu Zhiyan.

"Auntie, I want to ask you about someone." Yu Zhiyan saw that those maids were far away, and he might not have heard the conversation between them, "Is there a person named 'Si Yu' in our house?" ”

Aunt Meng thought for a long time, "We don't have it in our house, but there was a little man in the capital before, so he called it this name." ”

Yu Zhiyan frowned, "Where is he now?" ”

Aunt Meng frowned and thought for a while, "It seems that he was ransomed by the son of a rich family, and now his whereabouts are unknown, but you ask him what to do." ”

"I have a fellow who also has this name, and he came to the capital before." She was full of nonsense, "But he looks ugly, and he must not be the one my aunt said." ”

Aunt Meng only laughed at her a few words and left.

At this time, the little girl in red just now passed by with the robe that Gu Yu had changed into, and it seemed that she was going to send it.

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly stopped her, as if she said casually, "I splashed the second young master like this, I'm afraid that the second young master's wife and aunts will ask, and ask the girl to say good things for me." ”

The girl in red smiled and said: "Where is this, the second young master doesn't even have a room girl around him, where will there be a lady." ”

"How so?" Yu Zhiyan's face showed a surprised expression, "Has our second young master never married a wife?" ”

"There used to be only two girls in the room, but they were kicked out for stealing, and now there is only one person left." The little girl blushed with a blush on her face, "Our second young master is gentle and elegant, and he doesn't care much about the affairs between men and women." ”

——————

Yu Zhiyan came to Feng Huang's yard, but saw Jin'er and Yu'er, two maids, turning over the flower rope there.

Seeing her coming, the two of them were immediately surprised and delighted, Yu'er said: "Miss, we don't dare to look at you, although we are only separated by a few courtyards, we are not allowed to meet." ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw a figure come in, immediately looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly went out.

Feng Huang looked at her quietly, her eyes were dark, as if she was expressionless, and it seemed that she was not easy to see through because she had too many expressions, "Recently, I have been in the palace every day, and I can't go to see you often, but do you miss me?" ”

Yu Zhiyan was silent for a while, her long eyelashes covered her eyes, "Can you do me a favor, I want to verify something." ”

————

In a remote courtyard in the capital, the guard dog kept barking. Through the half-open window, I vaguely saw a woman spinning. The woman was graceful and dexterous, but she was a girl with a bit of beauty.

The woman who had been weaving in the house came out with a stick, and was about to beat and scold the vicious dog, but saw a pair of masked men standing at the door.

I saw one tall and one short, but even if the two of them couldn't see their appearances clearly, they had their own elegance, and they must not be ordinary people behind the veil.

She clenched the stick in her hand vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”

Before she could finish speaking, a piece of gold fell at her feet, and she hurriedly picked it up, and then bit it with her teeth.

"I only want to ask you one thing, why were you kicked out of the Chengguo Mansion." A very nice voice came from behind the veil, presumably a woman's voice.

As soon as she heard the Chengguo Mansion, the woman's face turned pale and threw the gold back in her hand, "I don't know, I don't know-"

With the sound of the sword unsheathed, a sharp sword pointed at her throat, "Still don't you say yes?" ”

The dog, which had been barking incessantly, was so frightened that he hid in the den, and he didn't even dare to pop his head out. The woman shuddered with fear, "I was kicked out for stealing—"

"Looks like you're still better than willing to tell the truth." The beautiful female voice came again, and a sword snatched from the hand of the tall man beside her, and stabbed directly at her.

If she hadn't flashed fast, her neck would have been poked out of a transparent hole.

"I said, I said—" She knelt on the ground in fright, "that Gu Yu is not close to women at all, and never touches us girls who have sex with her." Later, he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he found a reason to send us out, but the second young master was kind-hearted and often sent us some silver. ”

Yu Zhiyan clasped his hands tightly, "Let's go." ”

Who knew that Feng Huang had no intention of leaving at all, "You can't leave this scourge, your temperament is too forward-looking." ”

Yu Zhiyan's voice changed, "She didn't know who we were, so she let her go." ”

The woman suddenly knelt on the ground, "Two, I will never tell this matter, you just let me go." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the sword in Yu Zhiyan's hand suddenly flew out and was directly inserted into her neck.

The woman's eyes were still open, as if she hadn't expected her to die like this.

Yu Zhiyan turned his head to look at Feng Huang, but his eyes were so cold under the veil, very unfamiliar, and he was not the same person as the high and calm world in the past.

"Let's go."
