Chapter 54: I Can't Delay Anymore
Cold Frost stopped, turned his head and asked, "What bet?"
"Bet, in five days, you'll fall in love with me." Gu Tingyu showed a smile on his face, and there was confidence in that smile.
"Okay, I'll bet." Cold Frost nodded.
"If you lose, then be my wife forever." Gu Tingyu added.
"What if I win?" Leng Shuang raised her eyebrows and asked, "My conditions are very simple, I don't need you to marry me, I just hope you don't provoke me in the future, and don't touch me when I'm not in the General's Mansion."
"You don't have to worry about this," Gu Tingyu said with a smile, "I, Gu Tingyu's woman, don't need to be touched by others!"
Leng Shuang didn't continue to argue with Gu Tingyu, turned around and walked out.
"Miss, where are we going?" Cuixiang asked.
"Go find my mother." Leng Shuang said, "Let's leave the General's Mansion and don't let the Leng family find out."
"Well," Cuixiang nodded, and said, "Miss, how are we going to talk to Madame?"
"You'll find out later." Leng Shuang smiled mysteriously, and quickly left the General's Mansion with Cui Xiang.
In the few days that Leng Xue stayed in the Leng family, the people of the Leng family took good care of her, even better than her previous treatment, and the Leng family treated her as their own daughter, but unfortunately, she couldn't live here for a long time.
She had to find a way to get out of here, but how was she going to get out?
Leng Shuang thought of Gu Tingyu, she had no way to retreat now, she could only trust Gu Tingyu, although she didn't know who Gu Tingyu was, but since Gu Tingyu could help her escape here, then he must have a way to help him leave, she couldn't waste time in the General's Mansion, she had to leave.
Leng Shuang walked into Gu Tingyu's yard, and the people in the yard were busy with their work, they all knew Leng Shuang, knew that Leng Shuang was the second miss, and they all respectfully called her, "Second Miss."
Cold Frost nodded lightly and said, "I'm here to find the general."
"The general is in the back garden." A guy said.
Leng Shuang walked towards the back garden with Cuixiang, and when she walked to the back garden, she saw a group of guards discussing something around Gu Tingyu.
"This time, we must kill these traitors, not only them, but also the rest of the Leng family, and we can't let them go!"
Gu Tingyu's face was cold, and his eyes burst out with strong hatred.
"General, your subordinates are brave, please allow your subordinates to lead their brothers to kill the enemy and serve the country!" Another guard said, raising his fist.
"Yes, please allow the General!" Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, this operation, I'll leave it to you, remember, be sure to wipe them all out, and leave no one alive!" Gu Tingyu said in a deep voice.
"Yes," the crowd roared to their knees and shouted in unison, the deafening roar startling Cold Frost.
Gu Tingyu's face softened, he looked sideways at Leng Shuang, and said, "I know, you must think I'm cruel, but I can't watch my father's hard work to protect the country be buried in the hands of rebellious ministers and thieves, so even if I want you to bear the infamy, I will admit it, but if you are afraid, I can also let you stay, after all, you are my only wife, and I can't treat you badly."
"Hehehe...... Leng Shuang laughed, "You're wrong, you can't predict whether I will be scared in the future, how can you predict, whether I will be scared in the future, besides, I'm not a wife now, all I want is freedom."
"Freedom?" Gu Tingyu muttered, and then a grim smile appeared on his lips, "Women in this world are eager to be free, but my woman, I will never let her leave me for half a step!"
Cold Frost pursed her mouth and remained silent.
Leng Shuang and Cuixiang got into the carriage and drove towards the Zhennan Palace.
Zhennan Wangfu is located in the most prosperous place in the capital, covering a vast area, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, Leng Shuang just opened the curtain and looked out, and saw that the buildings on both sides of the street were vermilion, which looked extraordinarily luxurious, Leng Shuang frowned slightly, she really couldn't get used to this kind of cheesiness
color.
"Miss, this mansion is so beautiful, it is worthy of a marriage given to you by His Majesty the Emperor," Cuixiang sighed, "Miss, it is really a blessing for you to marry a general, the general has made military exploits at a young age, and his future is limitless."
"Cuixiang, shut up. Cold Frost glanced at Cuixiang and said, "If you dare to say anything shocking again, be careful that I tear your mouth apart."
"Oh." Cuixiang muttered, she was just envious, and she was right.
"Miss Cold Frost, you are finally here, the slave has been waiting for you for a long time, and the general ordered the slave to take you to the guest room to rest." A maid came up and said.
"Lead the way." Cold Frost said lightly.
The maid nodded, leading the way in front, Leng Shuang looked at the surrounding environment, and her mood suddenly became complicated, this general's mansion is really big enough, but she doesn't like it, except for the Leng family, the rest of the people here, including these subordinates, seem to be disgusted with her, she doesn't know why, but she can feel that the people here don't want to see her.
Leng Shuang walked behind the maid, no one greeted her along the way, and she didn't bother to pay attention.
Walked through the flower hall and came to the guest room, Leng Shuang pushed the door and walked in, she looked at the bed, frowning, the original owner was pampered since childhood, and was used to sleeping in a big bed, and now she has changed to a hard wooden bed, no wonder she is not used to sleeping, after Leng Shuang lay down, she began to close her eyes and rest.
In the past few days, the cold frost has not closed his eyes, and he cried too hard last night, so he is asleep in bed at this time.
When Leng Shuang woke up, it was already the morning of the third day, she stretched, got up from the bed, washed up, changed into clothes, and walked towards the front hall.
In the front hall, Old Man Leng was eating, he heard footsteps and looked up at Leng Shuang, and said, "Leng Shuang, you finally woke up, did you sleep well last night?" I thought you wouldn't be here today!"
Cold Frost nodded and said, "It's okay, I slept well last night."
Old Man Leng smiled with satisfaction and said, "You slept well last night, so you will be here today to accompany your father."
"Yes." Cold Frost nodded and sat down on the chair next to the table.
"Cold Frost, you drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first," Old Man Leng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cold Cream.
"Thank you, Dad." Cold Frost drank slowly with a teacup, and she looked at the furnishings in the room while drinking, the decoration here was magnificent, but it was full of luxury.
Cold Cream drank a cup of tea, put down the teacup, and asked, "Dad, are you moving away?"
"Hmm." Old Man Leng nodded and said, "I will live outside during this time, now that the war on the frontier is urgent, I can't delay any longer, this is the emperor's holy decree, I must do it according to the emperor's will."
"You ......" Leng Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I also want to go to the frontier with you."
Old Man Leng shook his head and said, "No, I have discussed it with your mother, we have to leave here first, you are alone in the capital, we don't worry, I have asked someone to arrange a distant cousin for you, his name is Lin Hai, if you have anything in the future, you can go to him, he will definitely help you solve it."
"But, Daddy, I don't want to be separated from you...... "Cold Frost weeps and says, "You can't leave me, I'm the only one left with you."
"Silly boy, isn't there still your mother?" Old Man Leng patted Leng Shuang's shoulder and said, "Besides, we are acting on orders, we must go, this is a national hatred, a family hatred."
"Dad, I want to be in the war too." Leng Shuang suddenly stood up, held Old Man Leng's arm and said.
Old Man Leng looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Leng Shuang, you must know that your current mission is to ensure that the child in your womb comes safely."
"I know," Cold Frost nodded, she knew that this was her last chance, and she was going to take it.
Old Man Leng sighed and said, "Since you know, then stay in the capital obediently, wait until the child is born, and then go with me."
Cold Frost gritted her teeth and didn't speak.
"Alright, go back, don't be late, today
I will send your mother over tomorrow, and then you two will live together in this general's mansion," Old Man Leng advised.
Cold Frost took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I see, Dad."
After Leng Shuang went out, Old Madam Leng walked in, she took Leng Shuang's hand, and said earnestly: "Shuang'er, my mother knows that you are worried about the situation on the battlefield, but my mother hopes that you can believe in your husband, he is the prince of the god of war, and he will definitely return triumphantly, and my mother believes that it won't be long before you can see your husband."
"Mother, I see." Cold Frost nodded.
After Leng Shuang walked out, the maid led her to a remote courtyard, although this yard is remote, but the scenery is extremely beautiful, Leng Shuang admired the scenery all the way, and secretly thought in his heart, this general is really good, not only civil and military, but also a generation of heroes, if he can win this time, he may become his concubine in the future, when the time comes, this general's mansion is his home, thinking of this, a trace of blush appeared on her face.
"Second young grandmother, this is the room you live in." The maid pushed the door open and stepped aside respectfully.
"Alright," Cold Frost said, and went straight into the house.
This house is not big, the layout is simple, but it is clean and tidy, there is a pot of pothos by the window, exuding a faint fragrance, and there is a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, Cold Frost took a deep breath, she walked to the window and looked down.
"Cold Frost, what are you thinking?" When Cold Frost was silent, a warm and magnetic voice sounded in his ears.
This voice, Cold Frost is very familiar.
"You're here?" Leng Shuang turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Gu Tingyu standing behind her, her eyes were sour, and she almost shed tears.
This man, she has loved this man for so many years, and now, is she still abandoned?
Gu Jingheng nodded and said, "Yes, I just came, what's the matter, are you crying?"
"No," Cold Frost quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she held back the tears and said, "I'm happy."
