Ye Lingwu looked up in surprise, the man was tall, as majestic as a jade mountain, and the tall figure was shrouded in his head, so that she had to raise her neck to see his expression.

Indifferent, gloomy, serious...... And melancholy.

She replied: "Don't you think this question is very abrupt for a girl? ”

"You just have to answer."

Shen Zhan stared at her and added, "I don't listen to lies. ”

Ye Lingwu frowned. The person in front of him has become more and more domineering since he tore his face that day, could it be that his gentle and gentle appearance before was a disguise?

She pondered: "Master Hou, I can't answer this question. ”

Shen Zhan said: "Why? ”

Ye Lingwu choked, and suddenly wanted to swear.

"That night I heard you say that you don't care whether you like it or not, but your reputation, even if someone who doesn't know you well proposes marriage to you in the future, will you marry?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and said, "How does Master Hou know...... "Okay, it must have been overheard."

"It's my business to marry or not, and it has nothing to do with Lord Hou."

"It doesn't matter, it's just that as an elder, I also want to tell my cousin, if the days after marriage are not spent with the person you like, what is the meaning of this life?" Shen Zhan's fingers stiffened.

"It's good to be able to marry the person you like, but not everyone in this world can grow old with the person you liked when you were young."

Ye Lingwu pursed his lips and continued: "I don't have a good background like Lord Hou, nor do I have a family that planned for me, I have even had bad luck since I was a child, I have never done what I want to do, only a belly full of sneakiness, and I am destined to resign myself to fate in this life." ”

Shen Zhan seemed to understand a little, and replied: "So there is no choice for you, and the person who will accompany you in the future will not have a choice, in your opinion, there is no choice between whether it is suitable or not, whether you like it or not, and it doesn't even matter?" ”

As he approached, the scorching smell of his body gradually eroded the fog around him, carrying a sweet and fruity aroma of wine, mixed with the unsettling smell of an adult man.

Ye Lingwu lowered his head and said weakly: "Yes." ”

Shen Zhan was silent, the light in his eyes went out, and he said coldly: "...... In this case, the cousin girl should stay away from Jing Yan in the future. ”

Ye Lingwu raised his head and looked at Shen Zhan, his eyes puzzled.

He explained: "You are not all the way. ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, there seemed to be a little disdain on his cold face, he was ...... Look down on her?

Ye Lingwu didn't understand, but felt that a fire was ignited in his heart, and he laughed angrily: "Ha, I used to think that Hou Ye was a god descending from heaven, it seems that it is true, you actually know at a glance that I and the second son are not all the way, I don't know if I can ask, why?" ”

Shen Zhan stared at Ye Lingwu fixedly, her eyes were dark and dark, and she looked straight at her heart, and said after a long time: "That has to start with Liu Yuxian's letter." ”

His tone is calm, but he can give a sense of intimidation.

Ye Lingwu's feet softened, the fire in his heart was extinguished instantly, and he forced himself to support his body and said, "What does Master Hou mean by this?" ”

"Zhao Hell is my territory, my cousin won't think I'm helping you, I really don't know anything about it?" Shen Zhan said lightly.

Ye Lingwu's temples hurt badly, "Master Hou knows?" ”

"I don't know everything, for example, you and I don't know if your grandmother treats you well now, whether it's because of that letter, or the story between your mother and my father."

Ye Lingwu frowned. She really admired the person in front of her, and admired that he could talk about her mother calmly, even more calmly than an outsider.

"Since Master Hou knows and understands that it was my Ye family who deceived the old lady, then why can you still keep me in the Hou Mansion?"

"Should I kick you away?" Shen Zhan's eyes were gloomy, "If you really want to deal with it in my way, don't talk about the Hou Mansion, your Ye family can't stay in Zhaoguo." ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and couldn't help but have a slight mockery on his face: "Yes, Hou Ye is powerful and covers the sky, I don't know if you are joking when you say this, so Hou Ye feels that I came to Hou Mansion for a purpose, and I also feel that I am not worthy of the second son?" ”

Shen Zhan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I only say that you are not all the way, what is a all the way, the cousin also knows in her heart that Jing Yan can deviate from the norm for the sake of the person he likes, can you?" I am afraid that the cousin girl does not even have the courage to be honest with her grandmother. ”

Ye Lingwu lowered his head, unable to argue.

After a long silence, a voice suddenly came from overhead, "There is a sentence I want to give to my cousin." ”

Ye Lingwu's heart was slightly gloomy, and he slowly looked up at the man in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Hou, please speak." ”

Shen Zhan said solemnly: "You treat me as a countryman, I will replace me with a countryman, whether the cousin girl is resigned to her fate or her parents, you can't just wait for others to pay for you, but you only dare to shrink in the turtle shell." ”

After speaking, there was silence again, Shen Zhan didn't want to talk any more, raised his arm and said "farewell", then turned around and left without a trace of hesitation.

Ye Lingwu drooped her head and returned to the bedroom in despair, Mama Xuan stood under the porch rarely, holding a long ring ruler in her hand, with a solemn face. And Rong Xiu on the side carefully lowered his head and eyebrows, for fear of causing trouble.

Ye Lingwu's heart tightened, and he slowly stepped forward and said, "Mama Xuan, why didn't you go to rest so late, what is the matter with coming to me?" ”

Mama Xuan's expression was solemn, and she said, "I also want to ask Miss Lingwu about this, why did you return to the hospital so late?" ”

“…… I accidentally fell asleep on the plum garden corridor just now, and I came back late. Ye Lingwu lowered his head and said weakly.

Mama Xuan's face was a little restrained, and she said lightly: "You are also tired today." ”

After a moment of silence, she said again: "Yesterday, the old lady heard about something and specially ordered me to ask Miss Lingwu. ”

Ye Lingwu sneered: "Mama Xuan, please ask." ”

"The sixth princess Hongling was punished and grounded in the afternoon the day before yesterday." It's not a question, it's a statement, and Mama Xuan didn't continue to say the next words, but waited for Ye Lingwu to open her mouth to explain the reason.

However, Ye Lingwu didn't know how to speak, if Mrs. Shen knew that she was the injured party, it would never be possible for Mama Xuan to find her with a ring ruler so late.

After thinking about it, Ye Lingwu stretched out his hands and stretched out, and said: "The punishment of the sixth princess has something to do with me, it was I who had a dispute with the sixth princess, so that Your Majesty could see it, and Ye Lingwu also asked Mama Xuan to punish the old lady on behalf of her." ”

The air was quiet for a long time, and Mama Xuan said: "The old lady said that Miss Lingwu is a well-behaved child, and there must be a reason for her to quarrel with the sixth princess, but no matter what the reason, Miss Lingwu should always remember her identity, and she should not commit a crime or be humiliated." Yes, twenty rings, in order to set an example. ”

Saying that, a foot was hit in Ye Lingwu's palm, it was a real hit, and the palm of the hand was already hot and painful when it was hit for the first time, and after the twenty hits, the whole palm was so red and swollen that it was impossible to see.

After returning to the house, Rongxiu drugged Ye Lingwu, but saw that she didn't shed a single tear, and sighed: "Girl, the slave maid told you to stay away from the sixth princess, why don't you listen." ”

Ye Lingwu quietly looked at the palm full of red marks, and muttered: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, not to mention that she sent it to the door by herself." ”

Rong Xiu didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to talk casually, in case it was really the sixth princess who was aggressive, no wonder her own girl had an argument with her.

After taking the medicine, you have to bandage, and tonight Mama Xuan really beat her, and she still saw blood.

Rong Xiu was engrossed in wrapping the white gauze, for fear that his hand would hurt Ye Lingwu, and at the same time, Ye Lingwu noticed the chess book in his hand.

Her eyes deepened, and she said, "Sister Rongxiu, you can lose these books for me later." ”

Rong Xiu was stunned, glanced at the thick stack of chess books, and wondered: "Girl, haven't you finished reading these books, why are you going to lose them?" ”

"I don't want to watch it, and I don't want to learn it. You lost it for me, it's an eyesore to stay. ”

Rong Xiu thought about it and responded with a "good".

I wish you all a happy new year, all the best and all the best
