Chapter 46: The Authorities Are Confused
Under Lin Peiyan's enthusiastic care, Liu Luoying's face became more and more pale, and she left the table early and returned to the house with a splitting headache.
As before, as soon as she entered the courtyard with her front foot, someone brought a large bowl of ginseng soup to her back foot.
"Miss Liu, the prince said that you are not in good health, you should drink more ginseng soup, he received a lot of ginseng from the pharmacist, so that you don't have to save, if it is gone, he will send someone to buy it."
"Tell the prince that the little woman is grateful, but her body is weak, so the ginseng should be left for those who need it."
Yingchun watched the guards leave, puzzled: "Miss, the slave thinks that the prince is very good, and he is really interested in you, why do you keep refusing?" If you marry into the palace, the Liu family will also be benefited, why not? ”
"Attentive? Silly Yingchun, what you see is only the surface, can you be sure that he will always be good to me? ”
Liu Luoying shook her head with a wry smile, and pushed the ginseng soup to her: "Yingchun, you drink it, I have an upset stomach." ”
"Miss, slaves and maids don't know what is superficial and unsuperficial, they only know that all men in the world are the same, the richer and more powerful they are, the more wives and concubines they have in the family. The slave maid thought that if all men were like this, it would be better to find someone of high status. At least even if he doesn't treat me well, he can be superior. Just like the eldest lady, at least she is still a marquise outside, and no one ...... Dare to give her a face. ”
The more the little maid spoke, the quieter her voice became, and finally after facing Liu Luoying's gloomy eyes, she was so frightened that she hurriedly closed her mouth.
Hug Xia and Fu Dong realized that the atmosphere was not right, and stepped forward worriedly, looking at their young lady cautiously.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Luoying's face eased slightly, but her breath was still heavy, and she turned around and walked towards the main house without saying a word.
"You're such a big mouth!"
Fu Dong looked at Yingchun angrily, even if he put on a fierce expression, there was nothing he could do with her.
"Okay, everyone has a number in their hearts, although Miss is good to us, but after all, she is a master and a servant, and some words, even if they are rotten in the stomach, can't be said, understand?"
"Yes, hug Sister Xia."
Bao Xia took a plate of pastries and knocked on the door of the main house, "Miss, the slave maid brought you fried cherries." ”
"I'm tired, you can eat."
Liu Luoying's voice was low, and she didn't open the door, so she could only turn around and leave dejectedly.
Late at night, Luo Ting opened the window and entered the house, and saw that under the candlelight, the girl was sitting in front of the desk, but her eyes were staring at the joyful flames, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Sakura, what's wrong with you? But someone is bullying you today? ”
Liu Luoying came back to her senses and squinted her eyes: Second cousin, why are you back? ”
"Oh, didn't I come back to report to you?" Luo Ting sat on the opposite side with a familiar car, and saw that the tears in the corners of the girl's eyes had not dried, and her heart couldn't help but feel a pain, and she said sharply: "Ying'er, but King Yan bullied you?" ”
"No, Sakura is just too engrossed in reading the book and moved by the stories inside." Liu Luoying wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately, pretending that nothing had happened, and looked at Luo Ting with a smile.
How do you say that?
It can't be said that she remembered the tragic death of her family in her previous life.
Some secrets can only rot in the stomach and cannot be known for a lifetime. Just like her rebirth, her hatred for Lin Peiyan, and the long night in the cold palace......
Luo Ting frowned, looked at the prescription book in the girl's hand, and knew that she had lied, so what touching stories could there be in the medical book?
But he didn't ask, but picked up a book, found a comfortable position, turned the first page, and read quietly.
The two tacitly understood that neither of them spoke, they each looked at the book in their hands, one was engrossed in reading, and the other thought had already flown to the distant pass.
Liu Luoying didn't give an eviction order, nor did she ask him about the result of going out today, but after being tired, she and Luo Ting laid out the floor together, and then got into the quilt separately.
The sound of the second watch was heard outside, and neither of them fell asleep.
Unconsciously, when it was dawn, Liu Luoying sat up from the bed with dark circles under her eyes, leaned on the pillar on the side, and looked at Luo Ting's sleeping face.
"Sakura, I'll be shy if you keep staring at me like this." Luo Ting opened his eyes, propped his head sideways, and looked at Liu Luoying with a smile, "Little girl, you look so ugly when you frown." ”
"Huh? Is it ugly? ”
The girl, who was still in a daze, suddenly came to her senses, walked quickly to the bronze mirror, saw that her eyes were dark and blue, and she looked listless, so she quickly patted her cheek with her hand.
Burst!
Luo Ting suddenly laughed, turned to sit cross-legged, and asked seriously, "Ying'er, you still don't want to tell your cousin, what happened?" ”
Liu Luoying pursed the corners of her dry lips, and for some reason, when she saw his deep ink eyes, she was faintly loosened, and she had the idea of spitting it out.
She hesitated for a moment, sat cross-legged opposite Luo Ting, hugged her arms, and asked solemnly: "Second cousin, if your brother-in-law is a scum who sees things differently and likes to look for flowers and willows, and will kill your dearest eldest sister in the future, what will you do?" ”
An unintentional remark from Yingchun yesterday once again reminded Liu Luoying of Liu Qingqing's situation, and as soon as she closed her eyes, it was the picture of her suicide by hanging from a beam, which made her sleepless all night.
Now that she said it, she put all her hopes on Luo Ting, hoping that he could think of a way to deal with it.
But the young man only asked lightly: "Yang An has been outside the gate all the year round, how did you know about him looking for flowers and asking willows?" ”
For a while, Liu Luoying was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.
Luo Ting's eyes were too bright, and looking at him was like being seen through his heart.
Just when Liu Luoying thought that the secret in his heart had been discovered, the young man smiled indifferently and waved his hand: "Don't be so nervous, I just asked casually." As for what you said, I thought that even you, a stupid girl, would find out, and it makes no sense that my wife who gets along day and night will not know. The eldest cousin probably knows better than you in her heart, but she just doesn't want to face it, she is a smart person, as long as she is given some time, sooner or later she will figure it out and leave by herself. ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Liu Luoying, who had been troubled by this warm problem for many days, suddenly realized, and grasped Luo Ting excitedly: "Second cousin, you are so smart!" I didn't think of that. ”
The young man's cheeks flushed slightly, his eyes stared at the weak and boneless little hands for a moment, and his heart was like a flame that gradually spread to his whole body.
“...... It's not that you haven't thought of it, it's just that the authorities are fascinated, just like your eldest cousin, you are in the quagmire of the Marquis's Palace, and you can't see the clear weather outside. ”
If you're sober, you'll probably remember that night on the cliff, silly girl.
Luo Ting sighed softly in his heart, looking at Liu Luoying's withdrawn hand, only to feel that his heart was empty, as if he had lost a piece.
"That's right! I want Sister Ah to see the reality clearly, so that she will leave the Marquis's Palace. ”
