It didn't matter to Long Jinyu whether she was an enemy or a friend, she just had to promise not to annoy Old Madam Yan and let her not move the Long family for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The days back at the Overseer's Mansion were still as usual, and Long Jinyu had almost nothing to do except for three meals a day. Yan Beiquan let people take strict care of her, not allowing her to go out more, let alone leaving the house alone!
Unconsciously, in the blink of an eye, Yan Beiquan has been sending troops for two months, although it is thousands of miles away, but the news of the Northern Army will often spread to Beihua City.
That night, Long Jinyu finished dinner. After walking in the courtyard for a while, she went upstairs, and when she passed by Yan Beiquan's small study, the girl stopped.
This is Yan Beiquan's small study, she has never stepped into it since she married into the Overseer's Mansion, the door of the study is closed, what is it like inside, she is a little curious at this time. I don't know when she became interested in everything about this man, maybe they were married, maybe because of Mrs. Yan's words, Long Jinyu felt a sense of guilt for Yan Beiquan in her heart.
Walking over gently, Long Jinyu hesitated to push open the wooden door of the small study, revealing a study room in front of her, which was nothing special, just a study.
Glancing around the room, the girl stepped inside. The simple decoration style is completely different from that big study. Except for a writing desk and a chair, and a few pieces of simple furniture, it was a small bed leaning lonely against the wall. The whole room is cold black and white, as cold and arrogant as Yan Beiquan's man!
Touching the edge of the desk, her eyes fell on the stacks of documents and notebooks on the table, Long Jinyu just looked at it curiously and didn't make a move, because she knew that Yan Beiquan didn't trust her at all, if he wasn't at home, I was afraid that she wouldn't have a chance to enter here!
A book of poems suddenly caught the girl's attention, and she couldn't help but hold it in her hand, only to find out that it was a book of poems by her favorite English poet Byron.
Long Jinyu couldn't imagine that Yan Beiquan, an iron-blooded soldier, would like a collection of poems with romantic overtones.
The porcelain-white jade hand gently opened the first page of the cover, and a line of beautiful small characters came into view.
'Like a dream, protect this life. ’
The font is beautiful and clear, and it can be seen that it is written by a woman, and the words on it, Long Jinyu can see that it is the woman who confesses Yan Beiquan. It turns out that he is not unliked, and there is such an infatuated woman waiting for him!
After turning two pages, Long Jinyu found that she had read this book at school, and there was nothing new, so she was ready to put it back in its original position.
"It's—" A picture that slipped out of the book made the girl's pupils dilate instantly, it was a charming and lovely woman, dressed in a pure school outfit, snuggled up to a tall man, smiling sweetly to the extreme. And although the man was not so happy, a shallow smile could be seen on his face.
Long Jinyu is out, that man is none other than Yan Beiquan, her nominal husband, the commander of the Northern Army who is in power in Beihua!
The photo slid from her hand to the ground, and the girl woke up from her stunned and quickly picked up the photo.
Long Jinyu felt that her hands were shaking, and her heart felt like a basin of cold water had been splashed, and it was extremely cold!
"Miss-Miss-" Li'er's babbling voice came from outside, and the frightened girl hurriedly put the photo back and fled from the small study.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" the girl who ran out of the small study happened to meet Li'er, and Li'er looked at the flustered woman with a puzzled expression and asked.
"No... It's nothing, I might be too tired!" Even though it was a terrible excuse, Long Jinyu didn't care to explain it anymore. "I saw Yan Beiquan with that mysterious woman, and saw the sentence 'Like a dream, protect each other for a lifetime.'" Long Jinyu felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making her even feel a little cold in her breathing.
Miss, are you uncomfortable there? I'll ask the doctor to show you—" Li'er was about to go out as she spoke, but was stopped by Long Jinyu in time. She was fine, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the photos of Yan Beiquan and other women! Can she say anything about this? No! She has always had only hatred for Yan Beiquan, and she can only have hatred. What is this doing now? Concerned or jealous? Long Jinyu didn't know, and didn't dare to think about it.
"I'll just take a break, don't worry!" Stopping Li'er, Long Jinyu was about to go back to her room, she needed to calm down now, and figure out what had happened to her lately, as if she had lost herself.
But Li'er said, "But... Miss, Mrs. Yang is here!"
Li'er's words made her sober up instantly, afraid that she was hallucinating, so the girl asked again.
"Your sister, Master Yang's wife, has come to see you—" Li'er replied in the affirmative, which surprised and delighted her, and ran downstairs despite the fact that she was just wearing her pajamas.
She has been married for so long, except for a few trips back to the Long family's courtyard, she has never been there, and staying in this Overseer's Mansion all day is about to suffocate her!
"Sister, I want to kill you-" Regardless of the image, she threw herself into Long Jinyao's arms, the girl seemed to have found a dependent child, and opened her mouth coquettishly, which provoked Long Jinyao to smile helplessly.
Hugging her own sister-in-law, Long Jinyao patted the girl's back, and said softly in her voice: "Silly girl, don't you look at me if you don't want me, if I don't come, do you plan to never see me for the rest of your life?"
"Isn't it inconvenient for me to say what my sister said! Being watched by others, it's inconvenient for me to go anywhere!" Hearing the girl's complaints, Long Jinyao sighed slightly.
"Sister, why are you here?" But Long Jinyao shook her head helplessly and smiled.
This sister of her own family is good everywhere, but she is too innocent and flawless, when will her character change after realizing it!
"Are you going to talk to me here? won't you invite me in to sit down?" Glancing at Long Jinyu, Long Jinyao looked at the girl's red eyes and guessed that this was a trace of crying, so she planned to ask why in a place where there were few people.
"Yes, yes, yes, sister, please come in, Li'er makes the best cup of tea, and it's better to have some supper!"
"Yes. Seeing that she finally showed a knowing smile, Li'er was also very happy and agreed to go down and prepare.
Long Jinyu pulled her sister all the way into the main hall, and in the main hall, Long Jinyao said to the subordinates who followed behind her: "You guys are waiting here." ”
Then the two sisters went up to the second floor together and came to Long Jinyu's bedroom.
"Sister sit, Li'er will be back in a while!"
"I'm not busy, I just want to see you, how are you doing?" Her sister knows best that Long Jinyu has been strong since she was a child, and she will not say it even if she is wronged.
"What are you doing? I'm not good -- it's good that the Overseer's wife has food and drink, and she doesn't have to work or worry about making money. "What a grand title, Madame Overseer, but no one knows how much it hurt her, and how much she was wronged by it.
"It's nothing, I just missed you and came to see you......" Long Jinyao didn't want her to see her sad, so she didn't want to let her see it.
"How is my sister doing? My brother-in-law is not at home, will it be tiring for you to take care of the Yang Mansion alone?"
"I'm fine, I'm used to it!" Yang Fusheng was an orphan since he was a child, and he made a living by begging for food. If he hadn't met the former overseer of the Northern Army, he would have starved to death on the streets! Later, he married Long Jinyao, and everything in the family was taken care of by Long Jinyao, and he, a big man, was only a wife and slave except for the war!
"Jinyu, didn't the Overseer send you a letter when he left?" Speaking of Yan Beiquan, the girl's originally smiling face instantly sank.
Shaking his head, Long Jinyu pulled up a sneering smile, "Sister, we are different from you and your brother-in-law! Our marriage is just a gorgeous shell, Yan Beiquan can't let go of what happened more than ten years ago, and the Yan family can't let go! This marriage is like a farce, and he and I are the two walking corpses in this farce, only take one step at a time!"
Long Jinyu remembered Mrs. Yan's words, Yan Beiquan betrayed her, she would not let that man have a good time, let alone let the Long family have a good time. Even if she didn't have so much hatred for that man in her heart, the girl didn't dare to say it, she was afraid, she didn't want to make trouble for Yan Beiquan.
"What about you? Don't you have any feelings for Yan Beiquan? He married you so disregardlessly, you didn't feel moved by him at all?" Long Jinyao's words made her slightly stunned.
Her eyebrows twisted into a knot, and Long Jinyu asked herself in her heart, what was her attitude toward Yan Beiquan? Hate him? The hatred was getting less and less, so little that she couldn't even find out about it! Hate him? But why did she think of him from time to time after he left Beihua, think of his fierce voice, think of his domineering momentum, and think of the moment when she was with him! Why did she feel uncomfortable and heartbroken after seeing the photos of him with other women?
Could it be that I really unknowingly have been moved by him?
These thoughts flashed, Long Jinyu was also startled by herself, and hurriedly put aside these nonsense thoughts, she concealed her heart and said: "No, it was impossible for me to be with him before, it is impossible now, and it is even more impossible in the future - I will not fall in love with him, let alone fall in love with him-" At the end of speaking, the girl's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she had no confidence.
With these words against her will, Long Jinyao didn't know how long the girl had been married in her heart. But she is sure that this stupid girl has really moved her heart for Yan Beiquan's man, but she doesn't know what she is struggling with!
"What do you think, sister, it's not good to say much, but Xiaoyu, you listen to my sister, it's not easy for a woman to meet a person who is really good to her in this life! You have to follow your heart, and you won't regret it in the future, do you understand?"
Do you follow your heart? So where will you place Yan Beiquan? Where will you place the safety of the Long family? Long Jinyu didn't say anything, just nodded in response. She knew that her sister was for her good, but there were some things that she couldn't control!
She can't care less about Old Madam Yan's warning, she is too small, Yan Beiquan is not here, as long as Old Madam Yan makes a slight move and moves the Long family, then she can't do anything, so she can't risk her family-
