CHAPTER XXXV

"Wait!"

Shanniang raised her hand and broke free from Fourteen Niang's hand, "You wait first, why are you involved with Senior Lin again?!" ”

Fourteen Niang raised her head and glared at her, "Sister, don't pretend!" Who in the school doesn't know that you actually wrote a love letter to Senior Lin! Senior Lin also received your love letter. You, you're already like him, why are you still pestering your big cousin! "That's shameless!

She uttered those last words with her gaze.

Shanniang wasn't looking at her, she was wrinkling her eyebrows in confusion. If she said letters, she only gave Lin Ruting that letter...... In other words, she was still careless when she handed over the letter, and she was seen by others?! Then, will it cause trouble for Lin Ruting and Yuan Changqing?

…… Wait a minute!

Shanniang suddenly came back to her senses and frowned, "What love letter?!" Who wrote a love letter to Lin Ruting?! ”

"You!" Fourteen said with a kind of obvious hatred, "If you don't know, unless you don't do it, someone will see you and Senior Lin hiding in the dark and talking secretly, secretly exchanging letters!" ”

"Who?! Who saw it?! Tell him to stand up and confront me! Shanniang was really annoyed, "You people have something else in their minds besides this, can't they?!" "I had been talking about the gossip between her and Lin Ruting before, but now it has intensified! If she had known, she wouldn't have sent any letter for Yuan Changqing!

She is holding Qu for herself here, and the focus of Fourteen Niang's attention is different from her, glaring at her and saying, "So, my sister really has a heart for Cousin Yuan?!" ”

Shanniang was stunned and angry: "I haven't written a love letter to Lin Ruting, which means that I am interested in that Yuan Da?!" I said you have something else in your heart besides men?! ”

Fourteen was trained by her to turn white, but stubbornly said: "This is about my life." ”

Shanniang looked at her and suddenly thought of herself in her previous life. Fourteen, she can't really like Yuan Changqing, right?

"You...... Do you really like Yuan Changqing? She asked.

Fourteen Niang's face flushed, avoided her eyes, and bravely looked up at her eyes and said, "Yes." ”

Shanniang was stunned, looked at her sympathetically and said, "You must also hope that he can like you." ”

"If it weren't for you...... Fourteen Niang said urgently, and suddenly closed her mouth.

Shanniang shook her head, "No, you're wrong, I have nothing to do with Yuan Changqing." I don't know who you listened to, but I went to the Jade Buddha Temple with the old lady......"

"But he's there!" Fourteen blocked her words and said, "Someone saw you and him hiding in the bamboo forest for a private meeting!" ”

Bamboo forest?! Shanniang frowned. It seems that someone is really watching Yuan Changqing. "Then, did that person tell you that we were playing chess in the pavilion of the bamboo forest, and my father was next to it?"

Fourteen and one stunned.

Shanniang said again: "Who sued you, I had a private meeting with Yuan Changqing in the Jade Buddha Temple?" ”

Fourteen paused before saying, "Yes...... It was Yuan's second cousin who said it. ”

Yuan Er?!

How did he know that she and Yuan Changqing had a "private meeting" in the Jade Buddha Temple?! Could it be that he also sent someone to spy on Yuan Changqing?

Shanniang pondered for a while, but she couldn't get the point, so she had to put aside this doubt first, and raised her head to Fourteen: "First of all, what I want to say is that I am not interested in this family matter, nor am I interested in Yuan Da that person. Second ......" She paused, sighed, and said, "I know if I say that, you must think I'm ill-intentioned, but I really ...... Anyway, you are my sister, no matter how you say that we grew up together, there are some things that you misunderstand me, and I have to tell you......"

The fourteenth mother of that life was not very happy to marry. She is different from Shanniang and Qi Niang, she is not married in Beijing, so later she and Shanniang gradually only had to exchange letters. Fourteen, this person has always loved face, and the letter only reports good news and not bad news, how she is really doing, Shanniang actually doesn't know.

Shanniang sighed again, "I know you like Yuan Changqing. But no matter how much you like someone, that person may not feel the same way about you. If you are willing to like him so silently all the time, it may not be a kind of happiness. But if you are not willing to have only your one-sided liking, and you hope that he can reciprocate your feelings, you will have a hard time, especially ......" she sighed again, "especially the kind of person Yuan Da." His man, once he has made up his mind about something, will not look back. If you want to marry him, you have to have this kind of awareness, and what he is willing to give you will follow, and what he doesn't want to give, you don't have to force it. Don't hold too much ...... to him."

Before she finished her words, Fourteen suddenly took a step back and sneered at her: "What my sister said is as if my sister knows how much she knows about Cousin Yuan. ”

As soon as Shan Niang was silent, she knew that kindness would definitely be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs......

Fourteen sneered and said: "To be honest, others say how virtuous and courteous my sister is, but I always think that my sister is best at two sides and three knives, two faces in front of people and two faces in front of people!" Since my sister said that my sister didn't mean that to Cousin Yuan, then my sister and I believe you like this, anyway, this kind of thing is not what my sister can do what she wants, and see which of us can win in the end! ”

With that, she flicked the hem of her skirt and walked away angrily.

Looking at her back, Shan Niang silently wiped her forehead with her hand - people, it has always been like this from generation to generation. No matter how the seniors warned the younger generations that there were pits in front and dangers in front, generations of children were still filling in the pits that had fallen through countless people...... Xu Zhen can only know what pain is when he has fallen. No matter what others say, it's just someone else's experience......

Seeing that Fourteen Niang was gone, Wufu and Lu'an, who were following from afar, stepped forward. Shanniang didn't like the atmosphere on the stage, and she didn't want to go back to suffer at this time, so she took the two maids and walked slowly along the river. After a while, there was a cheer at the end of the river bend, it should be a dragon boat rowing over. The crowd of people who had been scattered on the shore and chatting around immediately surrounded the river. Shanniang and Wufu are both lively, and the three of them suddenly all squeezed into the crowd, shouting and cheering with everyone, until the dragon boat team divided the winner and the crowd dispersed, and the three masters and servants were still excitedly discussing the event just now.

Wufu was talking to Shanniang about the young man beating the drum in the red team looked a bit like his uncle, and suddenly a person came from the side, if it wasn't for Shanniang's quick reaction and pulling Wufu in time, that person would have hit her directly.

The man didn't seem to see the three of them, but he still turned his back to them and retreated.

Wufu hurriedly shouted and unceremoniously pushed the man, and then the man turned around - it was Yuan Changxing.

Seeing Shanniang, Yuan Changxing also seemed to be taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward, and smiled at Shanniang: "It turned out to be the thirteenth sister." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't hit you, did I? ”

Shan Niang squinted at him, took a step back in silence, and bowed to him.

Seeing her retreat vigilantly, Yuan Changxing's eyes flashed, and he quickly pretended to be quite restrained, hurriedly returned the salute to her, and looked up and smiled: "Why is the thirteenth sister here alone?" There are a lot of people here, so I'd better send my sister back. ”

In fact, compared with Yuan Changqing, Yuan Changxing is more able to be a person and speak. So in his previous life, Shanniang, who had a cold war with Yuan Changqing, was very useful for his hospitality, and she never had any wariness of him, and even felt sorry for him after his accident, until she inadvertently learned the truth......

Shanniang took a step back, avoiding Yuan Changxing's gesture of asking her to go first, and suddenly stared at his eyes and said, "You told the fourteenth sister that I had a private meeting with Yuan Changqing in the Jade Buddha Temple?!" ”

Yuan Changxing was immediately startled. He never thought that Shanniang would ask him so directly, and she still asked such a powerful question. He panicked, couldn't help blinking indiscriminately, and Ai Ai said: "How, how ......" After a pause, he stabilized his mind and looked at Shanniang very sincerely: "How can my sister doubt me so much?" Am I that kind of person? ”

"I don't know, maybe." Shanniang said unceremoniously.

Yuan Changxing choked, his face couldn't help but change, but he was still smiling in the end, and said helplessly: "My sister really wronged me, I just told my fourteenth sister that when my sister was in the Jade Buddha Temple, it happened that my eldest brother was also there, so maybe you two can still meet." After a pause, he pretended to be curious, tilted his head and asked Shanniang, "Has that sister met my eldest brother?" ”

"Yes." Shanniang said, "We are still in the bamboo forest 'private meeting'. Isn't that what you told Sister Sù Fourteen? ”

Yuan Changxing choked again, and hurriedly stomped his feet and shouted: "My sister is really going to wronged me, I really didn't say that......"

"That's Fourteen lying?!" Shanniang looked unrelenting.

"No......" Yuan Changxing saw that she bit herself and didn't let go, for fear that he would shake his head here, she could really pull him to confront Fourteen Niang, so he hurriedly changed his words, and said: "I really didn't say that, it must be that Fourteen Sister herself heard wrong, or she misunderstood......"

"Then how do you know that I am in the bamboo forest with Yuan Da?" Shan Niang intercepted him and asked again—that was the question she really wanted to ask.

"Yes...... It's like this......" Yuan Changxing sighed and hurriedly told the story without reservation.

It turned out that he had heard from a certain squire in the town.

The squire was entrusted by the prefect to inquire about Yuan Changqing from Mrs. Yuan.

Let's say that after Yuan Changqing aroused the interest of the nostril lady of the prefect's house that day, the mother and daughter deliberately praised him in front of the prefect. The prefect didn't know what his intentions were, so he went around in a circle to ask an old squire in Meishan Town about Yuan Changqing, and by the way, he also checked the origin and family history of the fifth master. The old squire thought that the prefect might have taken a fancy to the eldest prince Yuan, so he ran to the old lady Yuan to ask for a reward. I don't want Mrs. Yuan to "be very principled" and say that Yuan Da's lifelong events have already had a tacit understanding with the Hou family, but she didn't reveal which girl of the Hou family Yuan was going to marry. So when his subordinates reported that Yuan Changqing and the thirteen girls of the Hou family were "secretly meeting" behind their backs in the bamboo forest, the prefect undoubtedly understood Yuan Changqing's appearance as the most personal reason - of course, this is exactly what Yuan Changqing wanted him to believe.

Listening to Yuan Er's detailed explanation of the whole story, Shanniang's charming eyes couldn't help but squint fiercely-sure enough, it was Yuan Changqing! That man never kills two birds with one stone, he has to kill three birds with one stone, four birds, or even five birds or six birds with one stone!

At that time, how could she be fooled by Yuan Changqing into believing that this matter would not work without her?! And she was sure that even if she didn't help, he would be able to think of something else! Now he's fine, patted his ass and left, leaving her with this mess!

She knew that it would be no good to meet Yuan Changqing! The next time she meets him, she should not even say a word to him, just turn around and leave!
