Chapter 44: I met Bai Lingyin

"Big Brother ......"

Looking at Yun Xuan like this, Ruan Li knew that he must have remembered the previous incident again, that incident was a catastrophe in his heart, and it was also a thorn in her heart.

In fact, before that, the Soul Control Hall had already found out the true identity of the woman, but it was difficult for her to be so happy when she saw her big brother, so she didn't dig deeper, but just sent someone to take a good look at the woman. She never thought that that time the Hell Gate suddenly attacked the Soul Control Hall, and she and the elites in the hall had no choice but to transfer the group of people guarding her in the field, but this turned out to be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and at this time, the woman took Yun Xuan out of Cloud City.

When the Soul Control Hall arrived again, the situation was out of control, and her eldest brother had not slept for a few days, and when he came out of the room again, it was like a different person, practicing martial arts day and night.

He became a high-minded, cold and ruthless Yun Shizi, but he never smiled again, and he could no longer find his original high-spirited appearance on him.

She knew that he had not been happy all along.

"It's okay, Xiao Qi, let's go."

He put the butterfly hairpin into his sleeve and handed the stall owner a silver ingot, not even the stall owner's change.

It's obviously a hairpin of a few taels of copper coins, but with him, it seems that he can't even buy a single ingot of gold.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Ruan Li nodded and stepped forward to walk side by side with him.

Walking to a shop selling pastries, Yun Xuan stopped: "Xiao Qi, go, go in and see if there is your favorite osmanthus cake."

"Big brother, I'll just make the osmanthus cake myself."

"Xiao Qi, if I see it and don't buy it for you and let you go back and do it yourself, how can you embarrass me as a big brother, not to mention that if I agree, your other five brothers won't agree either."

Yun Xuan said dotingly, and without waiting for Ruan Li to hesitate, he pulled her and walked inside.

"Boss, I want a pound of Qingtuanzi, mung bean cake, Dingsheng cake, and some Poria cake for me."

A faint voice came, and Yun Xuan looked back sharply.

Every time he took her to buy pastries, these were the pastries she bought.

"Big brother, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Yun Xuan turn his head suddenly, Ruan Li couldn't help but look there.

She turned her head and just met Bai Lingyin's gaze, Bai Lingyin was also stunned when she saw her, and then reacted and smiled faintly at her, as if she was rendered by the surrounding pastries, making Bai Lingyin's whole person look surrounded by sweetness.

Immediately, Bai Lingyin quickly noticed Yun Xuan beside her, and her gaze quickly sank.

Ruan Li saw Bai Lingyin's gaze, as if she thought of something, she could only smile.

"Miss Bai."

"Long time no see, Miss Ruan, I don't know who this one is next to you?"

"This is my friend and the son of Yun Shizi of Cloud City."

Ruan Li reluctantly introduced Bai Lingyin, and then turned her head to introduce Bai Lingyin to Yun Xuan, "This is the daughter of Xiangguo Mansion, the first talented woman in Kyoto, Bai Lingyin." ”

"That legendary Yun Shizi of Cloud City? How do you know Miss Nguyen?"

"I have some friendship with the county lord of Yun'an, so I know each other."

In desperation, she could only say this.

Hearing her words, Bai Lingyin was very surprised, she didn't expect that Ah Ruan, who came from a rural area, actually knew the county lord of Yun'an.

As everyone knows, King Yun's seventh daughter, the county lord of Yun'an, is unparalleled and talented, so how many people go to Yuncheng to see the beauty of this county lord, but the six brothers of this Yun'an county lord protect this county lord very well, and not many people have really seen this Yun'an county lord, let alone friendship.

But since Ruan Li said this, Bai Lingyin also nodded, which made sense.

"Ah Ruan, why do you have to say so much."

Yun Xuan felt the inexplicable hostility from Bai Lingyin's body, and pulled Ruan Li over and said.

His pull made the alarm bell in Bai Lingyin's heart loud again.

This Ruan Li is Shen Sichen's fiancée, she naturally has to protect Shen Sichen, but she can't let others rob her.

So, she seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and she didn't care about offending or not: "Yun Shizi, Miss Aruan is a person with a fiancé after all, it's not good for you to be afraid like this."

She still looks like a gentle boudoir lady, but there is a warning in her tone that cannot be ignored.

Seeing her like this, Yun Xuan's face still had an expression like ice, and the powerful coercion on his body went straight to the bottom of people's hearts: "So, what is the white girl trying to say."

Yun Xuan is Ruan Li's eldest brother, no matter whether Ruan Li has a fiancé or not, the six of them will be the brother who likes her the most.

For the others, Yun Xuan was too lazy to bother talking, if it weren't for the fact that Ruan Li and her seemed to have some friendship, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

But to Bai Lingyin's ears, this matter is not like this.

"You...... What does Yun Shizi want, please also ask Yun Shizi to respect himself. ”

Bai Lingyin was still saluting, with a warning smile on his face, deliberately accentuating the pronunciation of the word "self-respect".

"Girl, I don't know if I'm self-respecting, but you don't care about the affairs of this world."

At this time, Yun Xuan exuded an aura that no one was close to, and when he first heard the names of those pastries, he did think of her in his memory, but he found that after all, he was thinking too much.

How can a person be resurrected from death?

Thinking like this, Xiao Er happened to send the packed osmanthus cake over at this time, and he pulled Ruan Li and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Bai Lingyin saw that they were about to leave, and called out anxiously.

"Yun Shizi, no matter how high your status is, you are always a person." Bai Lingyin said this sentence firmly, and without thinking about it, Yun Xuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped his steps, and his pupils dilated.

"Since you are a human being, you should know to have a good character, not a ......"

Bai Lingyin continued to speak, but Yun Xuan couldn't listen to her words anymore.

That sentence is what she said when she first met him in memory.

"White girl, don't say it, I'll explain it to you later."

Seeing his eldest brother like this, Ruan Li knew that he probably remembered that woman.

Seeing Bai Lingyin nodding blankly, she hurriedly pulled Yun Xuan and walked out: "Big brother, some things have been in the past few years, let the past pass." The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living continue to live. ”

"Xiao Qi, you know, for so many years, I have been suppressing my emotions, I have been involved in government affairs so that I have no free time to think about her, but her face has been haunting my mind and lingering. I can't forget her, and I can't start a new life. I willingly, it was me who died then. ”

"Big brother, you still have to live without her, you can't trap yourself in memories, those memories are beautiful, so beautiful that you are willing to bind yourself to those ethereal illusions of the past, you always have to try to come out, no one will leave and no one can live. Memories are a cage, trapping every affectionate person in the name of nostalgia, and gradually devouring the bravery in the hearts of affectionate people. ”

"Big brother, you have to come out, we are all waiting for you to come out."

Ruan Li looked at such a fragile Yun Xuan and was quite distressed.

"Xiao Qi, don't worry, one day, time will tell me the answer. In the future, Xiao Qi should also remember that it is okay to be emotional, but not too affectionate. ”

Yun Xuan put away that fragile expression and told Ruan Li in a serious tone.

Since the last time Yunyi and them came back, although he was busy dealing with government affairs, he still knew about Ruan Li and Shen Sichen from them.

Yunyi They may not know, but he knows that his father once told him that Ruan Li can marry anyone in the future, that is, if she does not marry the Shen family, Ruan Li can be close to anyone, but she can't be close to the Shen family.

So, he vaguely guessed that the Shen family was mostly related to the Ruan family's annihilation.

"Big brother, do you know everything about me and Shen Sichen?"

"With your fourth brother, it's hard for me to know it."

"Big brother, I don't deny that I have feelings for Shen Sichen, but I still know which is more important than my feelings and the responsibilities I shoulder. If one day I had to choose between the two, I would not hesitate to choose the latter. ”

Hearing Ruan Li's words, Yun Xuan nodded, he knew that during Ruan Li's time in Kyoto, most of them had already found out something about the Ruan family's annihilation, and he knew that the Shen family had nothing to do with the Ruan family's annihilation back then.

"Big brother, no matter what, I hope you can come out and start a new life."

She looked at Yun Xuan's eyes, her eyes full of seriousness.

Yun Xuan nodded.

In order not to cause more misunderstandings, the two did not go around for long.

After separating from Yun Xuan, Ruan Li went to the east of the city, where Ziyu was waiting to pick her up in advance.

"Miss, you can count it, you don't know how strange the old lady's temper is, when I asked her if she knew Shuguifei Niangniang, who expected her to close the door directly. When I knocked on the door again, she took a broom and knocked me out. ”

After listening to Ziyu's words, Ruan Li looked at the house in front of her, which was not too small and not too small, surrounded by thatch and bricks, and she couldn't see anything inside, let alone know who lived inside.

Moreover, as soon as the old lady heard Concubine Shu's name, she hurriedly blasted out the purple jade, and her abnormal actions all confirmed that this old lady was the person Concubine Shu asked her to come to.

Ruan Li lowered her head and pondered for a while, walked over without hurry, and gently knocked on the door a few times.

"I don't know, I don't know, what do you want me to do!"

The old lady opened the door impatiently, still holding the broom in her hand.

"Old lady, don't worry, listen to me first."

Ruan Li resisted the door, and the old lady stretched out her hand to close the door, but she couldn't shake the door, so she had to give up.

"Old lady, Concubine Shu is dead."

She said this with a calm face, watching the old lady's reaction.

The old lady's gaze was glazed for a moment, lines of tears slid down her wrinkled face, and her calloused hands trembled against the door.
