Chapter 160: They Are Soldiers
readx;
The Long family has a deep sisterhood, but there is a trace of jealousy in Chu Yanlan's eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If it weren't for the idea that this woman would finally be able to leave the Overseer's Mansion and stop being an eyesore, she wouldn't be here-
Glancing at the two little maids with suitcases, Chu Yanlan said to Li'er: "You should go with you!"
"Really?" Li'er was pleasantly surprised at first, but when she looked carefully at Chu Yanlan's pure baby-faced face, she was a little hesitant in her heart.
"What's the matter? You still don't want to serve your master? Your master is not alone now, how can you wait at any time when you are not around?" Look at yourself in the eyes, with disdain and indifference.
"Yes......" didn't dare to talk back to her, Li'er could only respond obediently. In fact, following Long Jinyu and taking care of her, Li'er couldn't ask for it, but she hesitated because she even followed the young lady away, and there was only Chu Yanlan left in the Overseer's Mansion!
After thinking about it again, Li'er still chose to follow Long Jinyu, after all, nothing is more important than Long Jinyu and the baby in her belly now.
"That's good! Cousin-in-law, Mrs. Yang, I won't send it. You have a safe journey-" Chu Yanlan nodded with satisfaction, and there was a look of pride on his face that could not be concealed. After saying a polite word to them, he stopped speaking, as if he couldn't wait for Long Jinyu to leave the Overseer's Mansion.
-- Long's small courtyard, attic.
The light rain outside the curtain was dripping, and Long Jinyu stood in front of the attic window, unable to hear anything else except the sound of the light rain.
She sighed slightly, her eyebrows frowned unconsciously, thinking of Yan Beiquan who left silently, and there was a faint worry in her heart.
In mid-August, it is said that an autumn rain and a cold, and this autumn rain fruit unexpectedly adds a bit of chill to the weather.
The fair-skinned hand unintentionally touched her lower abdomen, and the temperature of her palm through the cotton nightdress made the corners of her mouth unconsciously raise an arc.
There is a little life in this that is growing silently, and this child is closely related to her life. But—
"Where should I go-" The girl's faint empty sigh happened to fall on Long Jinyao's ears who walked in, and after a pause, Long Jinyao smiled helplessly and walked straight to her side.
"What is the silly girl talking to herself?" Long Jinyao held a bowl of fragrant porridge in her hand, and gently put the bowl down when she passed by the table.
"Sister......" Long Jinyu called in a low voice, the butterfly wings were like dancing, and her eyes were as clear as jade reflecting the night outside the window.
"What are you thinking about when you don't rest so late? It's not too cold to open the window when it's raining outside!" said softly, Long Jinyao closed the window for her, took the girl's hand and came to the bed and sat down. The relationship between the sisters of the Long family has always been very good since childhood, but they have never lived at home since Long Jinyao got married.
This is finally a chance, and Long Jinyu is also happy. As her sister sat down, Long Jinyu also glanced at the bowl of fragrant porridge.
"This porridge is for me?" Knowing that she was a little gluttonous cat, Long Jinyao didn't tease her. Stretched out his finger and pointed at the girl's little nose, looked at her with a coquettish smile and said, "I know that you are a little gluttonous cat, this is specially boiled by my mother for you, red date and lotus seed porridge——"
"Mom, it's just eccentric, and I don't have a share-!" Long Jinyao looked injured, and Long Jinyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
"I don't believe my mother didn't do it for you, my mother loves your eldest daughter the most!" Long Jinyu raised her small chin and said with a look of disbelief. Zhou Zhilan has always treated their brothers and sisters equally, so she didn't believe that Zhou Zhilan would be partial.
"Why not? Mom's most distressed thing is you, you look at your room when you get married, it's still the same as it is. I'm sorry, that room has been ruined by Xiao Rui!" Long Jinyao shook her head and sighed. I just went to my room before I left home to take a look, and now my younger brother Long Jinrui lives in it.
There are still neat and clean things in the room, except for the books that are thrown away, which are the small toys that the boys usually play with.
Knowing what she was talking about, Long Jinyu took her sister's arm and excused her younger brother: "Boy, of course it will be messy, you don't know what the eldest brother and second brother were like when they were young! Besides, ......" Speaking of this, a hint of playfulness flashed in the girl's clear eyes, and she continued: "If you say that, aren't you afraid that your mother will be angry?"
"Don't worry, Mom can't hear you--"
"Who said I didn't hear it?" Zhou Zhilan's voice came from the attic door, making the two girls look at each other.
Looking at her sister-in-law's smiling and cunning little appearance, Long Jinyao knew that this girl had already known that her mother was coming, but she didn't remind herself!
"You damn girl, look at how I clean you up-" Saying that, Long Jinyao got up and made a gesture of settling accounts with her, and seeing that the situation was not good, Long Jinyu stood up from the side of the bed and jumped behind Zhou Zhilan.
"Mom, help......"
"Okay, you two sisters, don't make trouble! Especially you, Xiao Yu-" Zhou Zhilan took her little daughter's hand, her eyes were already full of crystals.
"Mom...... What's wrong with you?" said softly, and Long Jinyu's tears fell one step ahead of Zhou Zhilan. Looking at her mother's half-white hair, Long Jinyu buried her head deep in Zhou Zhilan's chest, like a child who had been greatly wronged.
Long Jinyao, who was standing on the side, saw everything in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel sour in her eyes.
"Mom, it's not good for Jinyu, I didn't come back to see you last time I left in a hurry-" After being forcibly taken away by Yan Beiquan last time, she never returned to the Long family's courtyard. After coming back this time, Zhou Zhilan not only did not blame her, but also thought about her pregnancy everywhere.
"Silly boy, it's all over...... You are still pregnant with a child, don't cry......" comforting her daughter, Zhou Zhilan wiped away her tears.
"I ...... this child" Before Long Jinyu's words were finished, Zhou Zhilan stretched out her hand and made a silent gesture, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Don't say anything unpleasant, since this child is here, he is destined for you." Giving birth to him well is more important than anything else-" Zhou Zhilan's tone was not a consultation, she knew what a child meant to a woman, and she knew the thoughts of this stupid daughter.
Long Jinyu is young and ignorant, and she understands her daughter, for fear that she will do something stupid, Zhou Zhilan repeatedly said that she must give birth to this child, and her cloudy eyes were soaked with tears.
"Mom, don't you mind ......?" Don't mind that he is Yan Beiquan's species, this sentence Long Jinyu still didn't say it in the end. She is pregnant with Yan Beiquan's child, but the hatred of the Long Yan family is still unclear, if she really wants to give birth to this child, how should she face him in the future?
"I... The matter has passed! Since you were promised to marry into the Yan family, isn't it a matter of time before you have children? Besides, Yan Beiquan is not too young, and if you can give him a child, maybe his hatred for the Long family will be able to completely let him go--" In the final analysis, she was still worried that Yan Beiquan was only marrying her to take revenge on the Long family.
"Originally, I asked you to marry him just so that he could see your face, no longer embarrass the Long family, and no longer pursue the things of the past. But Jiang Mengya's words made me have to doubt Yan Beiquan's true purpose! I wanted you to leave him, but ...... "But things have come to this point, and there is no turning back."
"Mom, what happened to the Yan family back then? Does it have anything to do with the Long family? How much do you know about ......?" Long Jinyao has always been very curious about this matter, but she didn't have a chance to ask. Today, taking advantage of Zhou Zhilan's mention, the woman seized the opportunity to speak. It's just that Zhou Zhilan just shook her head and refused to say anything.
"My sister is right, you all refuse to tell us, who killed hundreds of people in the Yan family back then? Yan Beiquan and ...... Why do they all think that our Long family did it?" Automatically ignoring the fact that Yan Beiquan took him to see Feng Lao Er, Long Jinyu asked.
The eyes were rosy, and the tear stains in the wrinkled corners of the eyes had not yet dried completely. Zhou Zhilan reluctantly pulled out a nonchalant smile and said, "Don't ask, in short, our Long family has a clear conscience about this matter." I can't say anything because I swore and I promised people. Jinyu, I admit that Yan Beiquan is a good man, but even if you are close to someone, you have to pay more attention. After all, he is the boss of one side, and sometimes his complexity is not what you can simply imagine!" Long Jinyu was born simple. If Yan Beiquan really wants to use the girl as a tool for revenge, then Long Jinyu has absolutely no backhand.
As a mother, the only thing Zhou Zhilan can do is to remind the girl to be careful!
"But ......" Long Jinyao was unwilling, and wanted to continue to ask something, but was stopped by Long Jinyu even if he didn't finish speaking.
The girl, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, gave her sister a look. helped Zhou Zhilan to sit down at the table. Since Zhou Zhilan didn't say it, then they didn't ask anymore. Instead of embarrassing your mother, it's better to find out for yourself.
"Since Mom doesn't want to say it, then... I believe that the day will come when everything will come to light, sister, we will listen to our mother, and don't ask anything-"
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been three days since Long Jinyu returned to live in the Long family's courtyard!
For three whole days, the Northern Army seemed to have disappeared from Beihua, and there was no news, which made the already worried girl even more worried!
Sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard, Long Jinyu felt more and more uneasy in her heart. Yan Beiquan couldn't help but tell himself that his sister suddenly came to the door to accompany him back to live in the courtyard of the Long family, and there were too many strange things about all this.
"What are you thinking?" Long Jinyao's voice came from behind her, causing the girl to stand up immediately.
Seeing the gentle and graceful Long Jinyao, Long Jinyu's first sentence was: "Sister, where did Yan Beiquan and the others go?" Looking at her impatient appearance carefully, Long Jinyao let out a long sigh.
"You finally asked about him!" She wanted to ask for a long time, but when she went to the Overseer's Mansion to pick her up, Chu Yanlan was there, this was their family matter, and she didn't want Chu Yanlan to know.
waited until now to ask, but she felt more and more uneasy in her heart, for fear that something had happened to Yan Beiquan.
"He's fine, it's just—" After a pause, Long Jinyao gently helped the girl to sit down, while she sat opposite her and continued.
"They should be in Liaodong now—"
Liaodong?The simple two words made her already frowning eyebrows tighter.
Fusang just invaded there half a month ago, will it be dangerous for Yan Beiquan to be where he is at this moment?
This was Long Jinyu's first thought, and Rou Yi clutched her collar tightly until her fingertips turned white.
"I'm sure you've heard that Liaodong fell, they were soldiers, and that was where they should go-" Listening to her sister's words, the girl silently lowered her eyes.
Yes, they are soldiers, and they are in the most dangerous places in the country, of course.
Thinking of these, Long Jinyu suddenly felt as if her throat was choked by something, and she couldn't ask a word she wanted to ask!
