said that the lord of Huanyu County went to the Hou Ye's Mansion to visit Aunt Changqing, and he was in a good mood; But he was suddenly asked by He Chengqi whether there had been any male and female affairs between him and Ling Yun in the days when he left the capital and was in distress outside, and he couldn't help but tremble with anger.

She slapped He Chengqi hard, and then turned away angrily.

Huanyu was completely disinterested, and originally wanted to go back, but he had already arrived at Ding Mengxuan's door, and he had told Aunt Changqing in advance that he was going to visit Ding Mengxuan, and he couldn't say anything about going back, so he came in involuntarily.

Ding Mengxuan's room was solemn and deserted, and the layout was too bleak and shabby; Especially the spiritual seat of He Chenglin on the table in the middle of the hall is cold and gloomy, which makes people feel shocking and shudder at first sight.

Ding Mengxuan is dressed in a vegetarian body, with white flowers on her sideburns, no fat powder on her face, lightly sweeping her moth eyebrows, and her eyes are resentful, but she looks more and more delicate and natural.

Seeing Huanyu walk in, she hurriedly got up, slim and elegant, as charming and graceful as a magnolia flower that had just opened, dignified and reserved.

She lowered her head slightly, bowed, and said in a low voice: "The county lord deigned to come here to see me, the unfortunate surviving person, the slave family has no regrets even if he dies." ”

Huanyu said angrily: "Look at you, why are you talking about this." Sister-in-law, you are still young, and you have a long way to go, you have to take good care of your body! ”

Ding Mengxuan's tears unconsciously welled up again, and Mu Ran said: "Although my body is still alive, my heart is already dead; The walking dead all day long, muddy, just one day counts as one day. If you really die one day, you will be completely liberated......"

Huanyu felt very uncomfortable in her heart, "Did you just accept your fate?" ”

Ding Mengxuan raised his unshiny eyes, glanced at Huanyu desolately, and said blankly: "I don't know ...... either."

Huanyu silently looked at Ding Mengxuan's eyes. Those eyes that were originally bright and kind like autumn water, but now they are like a pool of stagnant water, sluggish, cold, and without any vitality, which makes people only feel cold and sad when they see it, and a deep chill is born from the inside out.

Huanyu shuddered. The two of them looked at each other silently, speechless for a long time......

At this time, the girl Xiangyun said at the door: "County Lord, come on, Princess Evergreen has something to do with you!" ”

After saying goodbye to Ding Mengxuan, Huanyu went out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The corners of Xiangyun's mouth hooked up slightly, and he snorted softly: "What's the matter; County Lord, you golden branches and jade leaves, what are you doing with her ominous person, be careful of her bad luck! ”

As she spoke, she pulled Huanyu like a plague god and left in a hurry.

Although Xiangyun's voice was very low, it was faintly heard by Ding Mengxuan in the room, and her heart was cold to the bottom.

Is it true that in the minds of everyone, he is really an ominous person? It's just that others say that they are unlucky, but now even the lord of Huanyu, who has always done her own thing and is not bound by the rules of the world, also sees her like this! This is undoubtedly worse for her scarred heart.

At this time, she only felt completely hopeless......

Let's go back to Lord Huanyu here.

Stayed with Princess Evergreen for a few days, and then returned to the Jinling Palace. I was bored at home for more than a month, bored, and Huanyu only felt lonely and irritable.

I wanted to find an opportunity to sneak out again to breathe a few times, but the prince of Jinling learned the previous lesson and was on guard against her. Ordered the family and guards to strictly guard the gate, and if anyone let go of the county lord again, he would be beaten to death immediately.

On this day, the county lord of Huanyu was sitting in the room, and suddenly the girl Xiangyun ran in and said, "County lord, congratulations!" Lord Ding of the Ministry of Rites and Ding Yurong, the housekeeper, came to visit, saying that they were here to exchange Geng posts between the county lord and the second son of Ding! ”

Huanyu only felt a chill in her heart, and sat down on the chair without saying a word for a long time.

Xiangyun didn't seem to notice the change in the county lord's face, and continued: "I heard Zhao Yang in front of me say that the prince and Lord Ding have set a good day for the county lord and the second son of Ding, it is the sixth day of the first month of the next month, the sixth day of the first month of November, and the sixth day of the corresponding, it is really an auspicious day of the zodiac!" By the way, the county lord, the slave maid also heard about ......"

Xiangyun suddenly saw that Huanyu's face was pale, and his expression was a little wrong, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth and said cautiously: "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" ……”

Huanyu didn't answer, but just asked, "Where are my father and Lord Ding now?" ”

"I'm drinking tea in the living room!"

Huanyu didn't say a word, stood up suddenly, and walked outside without looking back.

Xiangyun saw it and hurriedly followed. Huanyu's footsteps were fast, and Xiangyun was panting after him, "County Lord!" Princess! ……”

In the living room, Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, and Ding Jinzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had just finished discussing business.

It turned out that Ding Jinzhi and the prince of Jinling negotiated the marriage of his son Ding Jiying and the lord of Huanyu, and set a good day and auspicious day.

Ding Jin was discouraged a few days ago because of the matter of his daughter Ding Mengxuan and He Chenglin, and now his happiness and relief have finally swept away the bad luck of the past.

Ding Jinzhi was satisfied, and he didn't have to stay long, so he got up and said goodbye. The prince of Jinling gave it away. Ding Jinzhi was full of smiles, and said continuously: "Lord He Lao, please go back!" ……”

The two were in the middle of the excuse and courtesy, and Huanyu had already broken in in a rage, his face gloomy.

Ding Jinzhi saw the county lord and hurriedly bowed down: "The old minister visits the county lord." ”

Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, saw that Huanyu's expression was a little wrong, and he was afraid that she would act willfully and recklessly, so he couldn't help but sink his face and said sternly: "If you don't know the etiquette, don't retreat!" ”

Huanyu didn't seem to hear it, and her eyes flashed: "Dad, presumably this is Lord Ding?" ……”

The prince of Jinling glanced at his daughter in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

At this time, Huanyu turned to Ding Jinzhi again, Ying Ying smiled, and bowed down: "Lord Ding, after passing the door, I should call you old father!" They all blame my father, and when the future father-in-law comes, he won't introduce me to him. ”

Ding Jinzhi was flattered and said: "The county lord is serious, and the old minister is panicked. ”

Huanyu smiled and said, "Why should Lord Ding be polite. In fact, the second son of Ding has a handsome character, free and easy, and there is nothing to find fault with in this palace, if he can really marry the son of Lord Ding, this palace will have something to rely on in this life.

"It's just that as the saying goes: a good woman doesn't marry a second husband, and a loyal minister doesn't care about the second master, a few days ago, when the palace left the capital and was in trouble outside, Ling Yun, the guard commander of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, was confused for a while, and actually did something unseemly, I only felt ashamed of Lord Ding and the second son of Ding, but I don't know if Lord Ding will dislike the palace......"

The smile on Ding Jinzhi's face froze suddenly, and he stayed there for a while.

At first, the prince of Jinling listened to his daughter's unhurried speech, felt that it was reasonable, and secretly rejoiced in his daughter's deep righteousness; The peak of the trembling turned around, and he didn't want such embarrassing words to come out later, so he was so angry that he trembled: "Huanyu, what did you say?" But this kind of thing must not be talked about! ”

He wanted to give his daughter a chance to repent or change her mind.

Unexpectedly, Huanyu had already made up her heart and ignored her father's hard work. She shook her face and said, "Daddy, who do you say will destroy their innocence for no reason?" If her daughter doesn't like him, how can she run away from home for him? Like him, his daughter is also willing! Anyway, his daughter and he are already cooked with raw rice, and whoever they marry can only be the leftover king! ……”

The prince of Jinling was so angry that he trembled, his face was pale, and he raised his hand and slapped Huanyu in the face.

Huanyu covered her hot, swollen face, and tears couldn't help but drip down. She cried and said, "Dad, you can kill your daughter, unless you marry me to Ling Yun, your daughter will only see her to death!" ......" said her, desperately rushing forward and removing the sword that hung on the wall.

She can't say anything, and when she draws her sword, she will kill herself; Xiangyun on the side was frightened, and desperately grabbed the hand of the county lord of Huanyu, and fell to the ground with a normal knees, begging her bitterly not to be stupid.

The prince of Jinling said angrily: "Let her go!" It is better not to raise this kind of embarrassing and corrupt family daughter! It's clean when it's dead! ……”

Princess Wei of Jinling also heard the news at this time. Seeing this scene, she rushed forward and hugged her daughter, crying loudly, "Lord Wang, you are so ruthless!" If you really forced my daughter to death, then what is the point of my life? Oh, my God! I'm so miserable! ……”

The living room was in a mess at this time, thanks to Zhao Renyi, the housekeeper of the palace who came in a hurry, and Ding Jinzhi also followed to comfort and mediate; The maid and the servants dragged the princess and the county lord away, and returned to the back hall crying.

The prince of Jinling was full of shame and frustration at this time. He slumped down in his chair and said again and again: "The family is unfortunate! Bad luck at home! - Lord Ding, I made you smile. Alas! What the little girl did really made this king embarrassed......"

Ding Jinzhi was also confused at this time, and snorted: "Lord Wang, the old minister is ashamed-"

The prince of Jinling sighed and said: "This king understands Lord Ding's difficulties, in fact, Lord Ding doesn't have to be embarrassed, the matter has come to this point, and this king has nothing to say, and the matter between the little girl and Ling Lang will be discussed later." ”

Ding Jinzhi's heart sank, and he said, "Lord Wang-"

Zhao Fu flicked his sleeves and made a gesture of sending off guests: "Lord Ding, let's talk about it another day!" The king is now distraught, and let him calm down first. ”

Ding Jinzhi is now, in fact, he can't say anything; He weakly arched his hand at the prince of Jinling and said, "In this way, the old minister retreats." ”
