Chapter 57: Blackmail
"Does it hurt?" Ping Yan took the palm and smeared the medicinal wine, and gently rubbed a large bruise on Dong Changlin's arm.
Dong Changlin stared at her face and shook his head gently, "It doesn't hurt, really, it doesn't hurt at all." ”
Yantai stood aggrieved on the side, complaining angrily, "This eldest lady of the Lin family is really notoriously arrogant and arrogant, lawless, and still receiving a new-style education, how can she be like a gentle lady from a big family, she is simply a shrew, so bold that she actually pushed our young master into the lake!" ”
Dong Changlin stared at him sideways, the inkstone snorted lowly, and he was busy grumbling.
"It's okay Tao Yan, you don't have to worry. In this way, my father will see her essence clearly, and I will probably not force me to show favor to Miss Lin again. ”
Ping Yan asked Yantai with a smile, "Your young master has always been kind to people, I have never seen him have a conflict with people, and besides, a slap can't make a sound, what is your young master doing to make people trouble?" ”
Yantai saw through the young man's mind of his young master, and knew how many ways he had thought of to please Ping Yanhuan openly and secretly, but this girl had never been cold and refused to appreciate it. Listening to her question, I couldn't help but vomit, "In the past few days, the young master has made more than 800 lotus water lanterns overnight, and today while the daylight is not dry, he will take them with me to add candles to the pavilion." Who knew that Miss Lin saw it, she liked it and insisted on playing with it. My young master said that he didn't give anything, Miss Lin was not in a good mood, and she spoke with a lot of beads, and she talked bad about you, and my young master was angry, so he slapped her, and she pushed my young master into the lake. ”
Dong Changlin was a little embarrassed, looking ashamed to answer, hanging his head, and even the roots of his ears were red.
The feeling of being silently maintained in this way is actually very good, warm and moving, and it seems that as long as you hide behind you, you will never be bullied. Also, Ping Yan really couldn't think of what Dong Changlin should look like when he beat someone, the more she couldn't imagine it, the more her brain was full of chaos, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker, "Then it's a pity for me, I didn't see Young Master Dong's angry appearance, besides, isn't it just a water lantern, she likes it, just give it to her." ”
Dong Changlin saw that her eyes were full of bright smiles, he was excited and happy, and he just wanted to fall into the lake again, and he couldn't even speak, "I...... I didn't have ......"
Ping Yan shook his head with a smile, rolled down his sleeve, and said, "Don't move heavy objects with this arm these days, and don't get wet." ”
As she was talking, there was a sound of military boots stepping on the ground at the door, Ping Yan's heart tightened, and then she turned around meekly and respectfully, "Handsome, good." ”
Dong Guosheng didn't respond, walked straight past her with a dark face, and looked Dong Changlin up and down several times before he lowered his brows, "I just heard from the adjutant that you had some quarrels with Miss Lin, and she pushed them into the lake, which really scared your father to death." ”
"Father, you have also seen that an arrogant and willful woman like Miss Lin is not me at all, so don't mess with mandarin duck scores in the future."
Dong Guosheng sat down calmly and sighed a few times, "I did this, not for our Dong family, for you." Jin Dashuai is ambitious, although the situation is very good now, but he is not sure that he will be defeated one day, if you can marry the daughter of a powerful and famous person, our Dong family will have another layer of support, and there is no need to saddle up for Jin Shuai. ”
Moreover, if you want to take Qingyuan Town and marry Lin Heng, it is undoubtedly the best way.
"Father......" Dong Changlin hates these fame and fortune calculations the most.
Dong Guosheng waved his hand a little irritably, "Okay, okay, I have my own plans." ”
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and hurriedly got up and left. After leaving, he almost suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Ping Yan. She was slender, with her head down, standing quietly to the side, like a stream, gentle and aura, as if she had come out of a painting. Thinking of the painting, he frowned, as if he felt that the woman in front of him was a little strangely familiar, but when he thought about it, he couldn't say anything.
"I see that Changlin's complexion has obviously improved a lot these days, thanks to your conditioning, just say what reward you want."
Ping Yan bent her knees slightly, thinking that since he asked for a reward without warning, there must be a reason for him. Moreover, if you refuse to use those high-sounding reasons at this time, you will inevitably be suspicious, because there is no one in this world who wants to work in vain and do not want to get benefits, or this person has another purpose.
She said frankly, "If the handsome man really looks up to me and wants me to follow the young master to adjust my body without two hearts, you can reward me with 50,000 oceans." At the beginning, Second Young Master Shen signed a deed of sale with me with 50,000 oceans, and now I want to redeem myself. ”
The more people in this world value money, the easier it is to buy, the more timid and afraid they are, as long as they have a lot of money, they can control this kind of person forever. It turned out that he was still suspicious of her identity, for fear that she would have any intentions to stay, but now seeing that his son's body is stronger day by day, she is greedy for money, and the lion opened his mouth. This dispelled his scruples.
"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it in a few days."
"Xie Dashuai."
When Dong Guosheng went out, Ping Yan looked at Dong Changlin with a stunned expression, feeling a little funny, "What's wrong?" You don't really think that I am a living bodhisattva who fell from the sky, and I only know that I am a doctor of the hanging pot, and I don't know how to extort a sum of money from your family. ”
Dong Changlin slowly walked in front of her, opened a pair of watery eyes, and looked at her intently, "What you just said, is it true?" Do you really plan to get back the deed of sale and no longer have anything to do with Yuji? ”
Ping Yan's eyes were narrowed, her thick and curly eyelashes were like a tired butterfly, and she stretched out a pair of dark blue wings, which contained the emotions she was struggling to hide. She pierced her skin with her nails, and the pain was so light that she could barely feel it, but her heart was very uncomfortable, as if it was rotten, and there was a pain to which she was accustomed.
"Nature is true. There is a saying in Buddhism that says that everything has a way, such as a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. In fact, things in the world are fickle, and I can't take it too seriously, and I can't get along with myself. Since you give up, you have to be clean. ”
"No, in fact, there are still some things in this world that will never change, even if they transcend life and death, such as sincerity." He was anxious, as if he was anxious to explain and confirm some truth that he did not want to be believed. For Ping Yan, his explanation has no weight, just like telling a blind man about the landscapes, snow, and moons he has seen along the way.
The heart is the most fickle, it is divided into good and evil, and it has thousands of shapes.
Didn't Shen Yuchen use that so-called sincerity to deceive his feelings.
Ping Yan looked at Dong Changlin and smiled coldly, "Life is so long, people's hearts will change, and they shouldn't believe it." ”
In the evening, Ping Yan made a plate of dim sum and prepared to serve it to Dongxia. In fact, she has always treated this honest and kind girl as a sister, and she has offered to send her to Shen Yuchen more than once before, she cried and cried and refused to go, saying what is the maid of the eldest young grandmother, and what kind of system does the second young master become. Now that Shen Dashao is also back, she can go to Changzhou in the same way. And today's Dong Guosheng's verbal temptation also made Ping Yan realize that there was actually danger lurking around her, and if her purpose was revealed, it would definitely affect Dongxia.
Ping Yan made up her mind and was determined to send her away.
Just thinking about it, an extremely fast black shadow suddenly flashed at the end of the corridor, Ping Yan squinted, confirmed that she was not mistaken, and patrolled along the shadow, and found that the shadow seemed to have run out of Dongxia's side room.
Is it a thief?
She put the snack on the ground and quietly chased after it.
The man was extremely martial arts, dressed in black, with long robes and wide sleeves, like a strange ancient man, and finally sneakily hid in the bushes under the window of a house.
If she remembers correctly, the person living in this room should be Dong Guosheng.
So what is the purpose of this black-robed man, isn't he also going to assassinate Dong Guosheng's enemy?
I saw the man put his ear to the edge of the window, leaning over, as if listening to the movement in the room. Ping Yan didn't dare to act rashly, and waited until the black-robed man left before she walked lightly under the red window and listened carefully to the movements inside.
There are two shadows inside, and the voices seem to be Dong Guosheng and Shen Dashao.
She was secretly wondering how Shen Dashao and Dong Guosheng got together, when she heard Dong Guosheng knocking on the table and speaking impatiently and high-pitchedly, "Now you and I are people on the same boat, and a marriage plan will definitely not work, you also know that the Lingnan Army is stationed on the front line, so many people eat, drink and Lazar, this grain and grass military expenses can't last for many days, you should think of a way, hey, by the way, isn't your brother Lin Heng's quasi-son-in-law, why don't you make some calculations from him?" ”
Ping Yan's heart jumped suddenly, her eyes were shocked, she didn't pay attention to her body, she was bumping into a canopy of leaves, and the leaves shook several times, only for a moment, she could hear Shen Dashao's fierce and short voice from the window, "Who is there!" ”
Almost subconsciously, she quickly pulled out her heavy legs, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and she immediately became dizzy. Holding on to the faint light of her eyelids, she vaguely saw a hideous grimace standing behind her, and then fell into the deep darkness.
The black-robed man looked coldly at the guards who rushed to hear the news, picked up Ping Yan by the waist, borrowed a tree branch, and lightly climbed up to the roof.
In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high, and the beasts are silent.
The moon shadow swayed, reflecting Ping Yan's eyes that suddenly woke up.
"Tao Yan, you finally woke up, and you're about to worry me to death." Dong Changlin sat at the head of the bed, a little shocked, and looked concerned.
