Anping Hou Mansion.

Li Duqing came back soon with Xiao Lin, and brought some pastries from Linxian Ju to Mrs. Li.

"Mother, this is freshly baked, sweet and soft, you can taste it."

There was a smile in her eyes, and her well-behaved appearance made Mrs. Li angry.

Since people are good daughters, she naturally has to be a loving mother.

Stroking her hair, her eyes kind and warm, "Twilight, it's hard for you to still think about your mother, good boy. You are not in good health, you need to rest more."

"Thank you mother for your concern! The daughter stopped bothering her mother and quit first."

"Go ahead."

When her figure disappeared into the doorway, Mrs. Li's smile faded. Glancing at the pastries on the table, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Li Duqing went to deliver a box of pastries to Li Wuhua again, and then went back to the room.

After a while, Xiao Lin brought a bowl of medicine.

It's still dark, and it's bitter when you smell it.

She didn't say anything, and drank it in three parts, just like the previous bowl.

It's just that she didn't deliberately spill some this time, because she had already taken the handkerchief stained with medicinal juice and asked the guy at the pharmacy, it was a calming medicine, even if it was taken for a long time, it didn't matter.

She was even more sure that Han Ming really helped her.

I just don't know why he helped her.

Could it be for Ling Yue?

No matter why, she remembered this love first, and then had the opportunity to return it later.

After a while, the little guy who was following her also returned.

Entered Li Duyun's room.

"Who did the young lady meet?"

The little maid said truthfully, "Miss and Xiao Lin went to the long street for a while. Then Xiao Lin ran away and came back with pine nut candy in her hand. During the time she left, the young lady bought sugar gourds, rouge gouache, went to the pharmacy, and went to Linxian Ju to buy two boxes of pastries, and she didn't see any special people."

Li Duyun waved his hand, and the little guy retreated respectfully.

Ling Rou heard this on the side, and said with a smile, "Brother Duyun, this matter is not in a hurry, the future is long, as long as you follow her all the time, you are not afraid that she will not show her feet."

Li Duyun's eyes were dark, and he put one hand behind his back, and snorted, "It's just that she is cheap, and in two days, she will be the concubine of this Hou Mansion."

"What about the concubine? The higher you hold it, the harder it falls. When she gets used to being a favored concubine, and then becomes a concubine who is rejected by the master, that is the most uncomfortable. It is very likely that her illness will be cured after Nanwang leaves Da Zhou. I don't want to get married, I can't gamble with my life!"

Li Duyun had never seen her so calm and indifferent, "Rourou, why are you so confident?"

Ling Rou looked up at him, tears in her eyes.

"Brother Duiyun, you were born as a concubine, and you can't imagine the unwillingness and pathos of your concubine. Although I have been hurt by my father since I was a child, I have always been shorter than my sister because of my identity as a concubine. Obviously, we love each other, but I can only use all my scheming methods to stay with you. But I didn't expect it to be a concubine."

She lowered her head and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Li Duqing is a concubine, and she is facing the fate of marrying into Da Zheng, which is already a desperate situation. In a desperate situation, he was put to death and reborn. Letting herself get seriously ill can not only relieve the crisis, but also make her father treat her differently, which is worth her desperate bet on. If it were me, it would be the same. But when the crisis is over, who will continue to risk their lives?"

She turned her back and choked up, "She's better than me, maybe before the matter is revealed, she can marry a wishful husband and be a wife." Unlike me, I can't even call you "husband"

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Li Duyun remembered the sweet moment before the two of them got married.

He turned her around, wiped her tears, and whispered, "I'm sorry for you, if I had been braver, you wouldn't be where you are now. Rourou, I won't snub you anymore, I'll stay here for the rest of the night, let's have a child as soon as possible. With the eldest grandson, your father and mother will no longer ignore you, and you won't have to be so difficult."

Ling Rou's heart relaxed, this was exactly what she was thinking.

since

She couldn't marry someone else, so she needed a child to live with.

"Brother Twilight." She buried her head in his arms, and her voice was delicate and tactful, and Li Duyun's heart moved.

He picked her up and walked to the bed.

At this time, Li Qi slipped away to Li Duqing's yard.

"Miss, have you slept?" He asked softly.

Li Duqing heard his voice, got up and opened the door.

"Is there something wrong?"

Li Qi nodded: "Something! Miss, just now I saw a little maid enter the young master's room and told him about Miss's whereabouts. Miss, you should be careful during this time, the young master should have people follow you for a long time."

Li Duqing nodded, and took two ingots of silver to him, "Thank you."

Li Qi held the silver in his arms and said with a smile, "What did Miss say? Miss has always been small and small, this is a small thing. Miss, the wall has ears, the small one will retire first, and if there is a new situation, the small one will report to you."

Closing the door, Li Duqing smiled.

Or Ah Yun had foresight and told her that she was going to buy someone for her own use, so she chose Li Qi.

He often followed Li Duyun and was extremely clear about his affairs. More importantly, he needed silver to support his family.

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been able to get Ling Rou's letter to Li Duyun so quickly.

Now, he told her about Li Duyun sending someone to follow her, apparently to show her goodwill.

What can be solved with silver, then it is not a thing! Moreover, he has a handle in her hands, and he is not afraid of him backlashing.

Lying on the couch, Li Duqing was full of thoughts.

In the future, there will be more crises in the Hou Mansion.

But there is also more hope than before.

After all, she and her aunt were suppressed before, and they had no power to fight back.

And from now on, she has the qualifications to resist!

Lingfu.

Next to the small garden, a young man was wielding a sword in the moonlight, his body was agile and light, like a swallow.

His forehead was covered with sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he still didn't stop.

Ever since he knew that his true identity was no lower than Xue Tian, he had worked harder and harder, practicing martial arts and reading day and night, Ling Yue sometimes couldn't bear it, which was too laborious!

So she would bring him some supper from time to time.

Like now.

I was worried about disturbing him, so I didn't say a word when I arrived, and stood aside silently.

She didn't call out to him until he had collected his sword.

"Miss, what's delicious today?" The boy ran over, and his smile was gentle and clean under the moonlight.

"Sesame rice balls, I don't know if you like it or not."

"I like it!"

Ling Yue sat next to him, holding his cheeks and watching him take a big bite.

"Ah Yun, you have to take your time in martial arts, don't always work so hard."

The young man shook his head while eating: "No, I have to work hard, I can't disappoint the eldest lady."

Ling Yue brushed the hair on his forehead, "You haven't let me down."

"Then I'll work hard, maybe you'll be proud of me in the future!" The boy smiled at her, he had dreamed of that day.

"Then it's okay, you will soar in the future, and you will cover me!"

"What's covering you?"

"No matter what I do, you have to stand by my side without hesitation."

The little wolf cub promised, "That's for sure! Miss, even if you get into a lot of trouble in the future, I will bear it for you!"

Ling Yue was very happy and touched his arm: "Hey, aren't you afraid that your future wife will be jealous?"

"Huh?" The boy turned his head and smiled, "Then you can marry me?"

"The little wolf cub with no conscience, who has been getting more and more angry lately, always makes fun of me to see that I don't beat you to death!"

Seeing that she frowned and raised her hand to fight, Ah Yun quickly got up and ran away with the bowl in her hand, laughing: "Can't hit!"

Today's three watches are completed, isn't it very soon, hahahahaha
