Chapter 139: Lin Su'er
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
This night was really no different from usual, the only difference was that there was one more person in one bed.
Bai Zhi looked sideways at the man in front of her, and sighed after a long time, to be honest, she was really uncomfortable at the moment, and it was not so pleasant to be treated as another person.
I didn't close my eyes one night, so that the next day I had deep blue marks on the bottom of my eyes.
Lu Zhiyuan's habit of getting up early for many years made him get up on time every day, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the woman who was sleeping against him, and his eyes gradually became warmer.
Reaching out to caress the thin face, he thought, his little aunt was a lot thinner than before.
When Bai Zhi got up, Lu Zhiyuan was already no longer in the house, and he couldn't sleep well at night, and he couldn't lift his spirits all day during the day.
Back in her room, Xiao Bottler was very worried when she saw her ugly face, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little tired." She shook her head, her eyes a pale blue, and her brows were stained with tiredness.
"Then sister, you can rest first, and I'll go to the kitchen to see what food I have and bring some back." Xiao Bottler really cared about her, and when she saw that her face was not good, she didn't ask.
Bai Zhi took her hand and sat down on the side, but no one spoke, so she said the troubles in her heart.
Things weren't complicated originally, it was nothing more than Lord Lu treating her as someone else's stand-in, which made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to ask.
After listening to her words, Xiao Vial'er's eyes widened, full of disbelief, "Sister, aren't you joking, are you saying that Lord Lu will use you as a stand-in for that 'Susu'?" ”
Although Bai Zhi didn't want to admit it, she still had to admit that this was indeed the truth.
Bai Zhi didn't expect her to come up with a good solution to this matter, but she was so uncomfortable in her heart that she wanted to find someone to talk to. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bottler took this matter to heart, and secretly asked people to go out to inquire, and really let her find out some rumors.
After listening to those rumors that she didn't know whether they were true or false, Bai Zhi had mixed feelings in her heart.
Lord Lu has a childhood sweetheart, whose name is Lin Suer, a native of Beijing.
It is rumored that Lord Lu likes Lin Suer very much, but he has no choice but to fall into the flowers and be ruthless, and Lin Suer finally married someone else.
Coincidentally, the person Lin Suer married was Xu Zheng, the former secretary of Jiangnan Salt.
Xu Zheng was in office, so the imperial court sent Lu Zhiyuan to take over Xu Zheng's position.
Bai Zhi didn't know the specific past of Lord Lu and Lin Su'er, but she could also get a glimpse of it from the drunken 'Susu'.
In fact, she felt that Lord Lu didn't need to be like this at all, that Lin Su'er now that her husband is gone, it is a time when she is empty, lonely and cold, at this time, as long as Lord Lu shows his care and love, he will naturally be able to get the heart of the beauty.
The deity is here, so why bother looking for a fake.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, probably because she was too good for this fake.
Xiao Bottler found that Bai Zhi had been depressed all day, and often wandered, and she didn't hear three or two and a half words of talking to her.
"Sister, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable, I'm worried about you like this."
Bai Zhi came back to her senses and smiled at her, "I'm just thinking about what to eat at night." ”
"Really?" Xiao Bottler didn't believe it, she felt that Bai Zhi's unhappiness had a lot to do with Lord Lu.
"Really."
Bai Zhi also felt that she was thinking too much, she was a maid, even if she was not a stand-in, could it be possible that she could still dream of marrying Lord Lu, but it was just a dream from the beginning.
When it was approaching evening, Lord Lu asked someone to send a letter back, saying that he came back very late in the evening, so that Bai Zhi didn't have to wait for him.
It was true that he came back very late, and he didn't come back alone, Lord Lu came back with a woman.
The woman's name is Lin Su'er.
After entering the house, I took it directly to the study.
When it was almost time to come back, Bai Zhi had already laid down to rest, but Lord Lu didn't know why she was named to go to the study to deliver tea, so she had to get up from the quilt with her clothes on.
When Bai Zhi saw Lin Su'er for the first time, her heart was cold and cold.
Because her eyes are eighty percent like Lin Su'er, but Lin Su'er is obviously more gorgeous and more dignified, just wearing plain clothes, and the appearance of powder on her face is enough to make people look sideways.
Lin Su'er was obviously stunned when she saw Bai Zhi, and then turned her head to look at Lu Zhiyuan with a complicated expression, "Zhiyuan, she?" ”
"She's my handmaiden, Angelica Bai." Lu Zhiyuan introduced lightly.
Bai Zhi listened to the word maid, and felt a little harsh for no reason. In fact, Lu Zhiyuan is not wrong, she is indeed a servant girl, but when she listens to these two words, she always has a feeling of deliberately dissociating the relationship.
Lin Su'er smiled lightly, saw Bai Zhi coming over with tea, and thanked her.
Bai Zhi felt that standing in front of Lin Su'er felt ashamed of herself, because this woman was not only good-looking, but also had such a good voice. Compared to her, she is more than a little inferior, and the two standing together is undoubtedly the difference between a treasure and a fake. Especially Lu Zhiyuan's eyes have never taken away from Lin Su'er.
"Go down. You don't have to wait here. Lu Zhiyuan's faint voice sounded after Bai Zhi put the teacup on the table.
Bai Zhi lowered her head and bit her lip, endured the discomfort of soreness and swelling in her heart, and lowered her head and said, "The slave and maid are retired." Feelings tossed her, and this trip was for his sweetheart.
The voice fell, almost with the smell of fleeing in a hurry, and hurriedly retreated.
It wasn't until the person at the door disappeared that Lu Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze, and when he saw Lin Su'er looking at him with a smile, he hooked his lips and smiled.
"She's like me." Lin Su'er took a sip of tea from the teacup, as if opening her mouth inadvertently.
"She's a little silly." It's not even a compliment, but it naturally reveals a bit of heartfelt affection.
Lin Su'er raised her eyes and looked at this man she hadn't seen for many years, as if he had changed a lot compared to many years ago. Back then, he was still a young man, and when he stood in front of her, he would stutter and blush even when he spoke.
Now he is different, his once youthful eyebrows and eyes are now more and more handsome and introverted, and he has a reassuring taste all over his body.
After Xu Zheng went, the wolf-like things of the Xu family forced her to the door and openly kicked her out of the house on the grounds that she had no children for many years. Even some of the private property left to her by Xu Zheng forced her to hand it over. Just when she didn't know what to do, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared, and in a few words, he let those people leave in disgrace and save her from fire and water.
As soon as she thought of those people in the Xu family, Lin Su'er's beautiful face was a little obviously gloomy, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but tighten, she wouldn't just forget it.
"You don't have to worry too much about the Xu family, I won't let them bully you." The man's voice doesn't fluctuate much, but it has a power that makes people trustworthy for no reason.
Lin Su'er's heart trembled slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled, her face still couldn't help but worry, "You are new to the city, the Xu family is not small here, will it cause you trouble." ”
"It's okay, I can handle it." Lu Zhiyuan's tone was relaxed, as if he didn't put the Xu family in his eyes, "It's not too early, I'll let someone take you back to rest." During this time, you can rest assured to stay with me. ”
Lin Su'er nodded, she was really grateful in her heart, and there were some other feelings besides gratitude, which were indescribable, and there seemed to be a little sign of breaking through the ground in her heart.
After sending Lin Su'er away, the deep emotion on Lu Zhiyuan's face disappeared little by little, and his complexion returned to his usual indifferent appearance.
He got the news that Xu Zheng left an account book before his death, which recorded some evidence of the collusion between officials and businessmen during his years as the salt administration secretary in Jiangnan. And Xu Zheng died suddenly, and the account book is now gone.
If he can get the account book, it will undoubtedly be of great help to him to clean up the salt industry, so the account book is bound to be obtained. And Lin Suer and Xu Zheng have been married for many years, if you say that the person who knows the whereabouts of the account books, it is most likely Lin Suer.
So he kept sending people to follow Lin Su'er, and when he knew that she was being troubled by the Xu family, he appeared at the right time, saved her, and found a logical reason for them to meet.
His reason was the old love back then, he deliberately let Bai Zhi appear, which gave Lin Suer a misunderstanding.
In fact, he knew from the beginning that his little aunt and Lin Su'er's eyes were somewhat similar, and he would feel a little similar at first sight, but in fact, after getting along, they had nothing in common, and he was not the kind of person who liked to find a stand-in.
Besides, it was hundreds of years after him, when he was only a teenager, it was the age when love first opened, and he was worried about other girls, but unfortunately people were still ruthless.
In the quiet study, the man's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and the sound of knocking and knocking sounded and fell, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and his fingers were obviously stunned.
By the way, it seems that his little aunt seems to be a little angry just now, and she has to coax her.
Bai Zhi returned to the house, shed tears for a long time, and almost gritted her teeth, "There is really no good thing for men." ”
This full of resentment makes the little bottle feel that she is now a complete little resentful woman.
"Sister, don't feel bad, it's a big deal that I'll help you fix that Lin Su'er tomorrow."
Bai Zhi snorted angrily, glanced at the vial, and laughed angrily at her words, "Come on, we two little maids, go and show the guests' faces." ”
Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with Lin Su'er, even if it has a relationship, she is not qualified to make trouble that day.
The vial still wanted to say something, but Bai Zhi felt very tired. persuaded the vial to go back to rest, and she couldn't fall asleep again and over again in bed.
The door was pushed open, and there was a sound of footsteps, and she was startled, and quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Lu Zhiyuan walked close to the bed, candles were lit in the room, and the warm yellow light shone on the woman's plain face, he looked at it for a long time, and then his faint voice was as quiet as the night, "Don't pretend, I know you didn't sleep." ”
