Chapter 49: The Return
"Miss, you're back?!"
Cheng Yuguan followed Li Mian on his return journey, passing through Tongcheng, and Cheng Lang was waiting at the post station with Liuyun Xiaowu.
When Liuyun saw Cheng Yuguan dismounting, he happily ran over, circled around Cheng Yuguan, and kept asking Cheng Yuguan about the recent situation in the past two days.
Cheng Lang followed behind Liuyun, afraid that Liuyun would be quick to talk about the "bad thing" he did a few days ago, so he interrupted it in time.
"Little sister, Your Highness wrote to take us along, and I will let Liuyun pack up your things, and you can take a look in a while, and you can go back and get what you are missing."
Cheng Lang handed over a big package at the right time.
Cheng Yuguan looked at the people on the left and right, and the hall coming and going in the post station, a little speechless. Will she be able to inspect her stuff in public? Is the third cousin too impatient?
Liuyun secretly poked and glared at the third prince, she knew that the third prince's intention was to occupy the young lady's attention and give herself no chance to sue.
"Repair overnight, and leave early tomorrow."
Li Mian announced in the post station, and everyone agreed loudly, and even the post man agreed to clean up the room.
Since Li Mian ordered repairs, Cheng Yuguan went back to the room with his package to check, Cheng Lang saw this, and after the little sister left and returned to the room, he stayed in place and wailed.
"Cheng Gongzi, what's the matter? Tell me about it. β
In the face of Cheng Lang, Li Mian has always been polite and courteous.
If it was in the past, Cheng Lang had always stayed away from such a cold-faced and noble person as the fourth prince, but now he needed someone to share it, so he told all the ridiculous things he did two days ago.
Li Mian listened, his face remained unchanged, but his eyes became more and more fierce, "In other words, the third prince called Wang Qin and Cao Shiyou to Yuguan to admit their mistakes?" β
Cheng Lang nodded, "Yes, I just thought that everyone has known each other for a long time, don't break off the friendship because of a little thing, multiple friends and many roads, my little sister has always been gentle, I think I will accept it." β
At this time, Li Mian's eyes had already shot a cold light, "You think Yuguan is gentle, so the purpose of calling them here is to ask Yuguan to forgive them." I can't see that the third son is so righteous to his friends, so righteous that he can ignore his little sister's thoughts! β
In the end, Li Mian's voice was already covered with ice ballast.
Cheng Lang only thought that Li Mian was upset about Cheng Yuguan, he hugged his head and fell on the table, as if he was coquettish at home, "Hey, I already knew that I did something wrong, Liuyun Xiaowu has already taught me a lesson, I will admit my mistake to my little sister in a while, and ask her to forgive." β
Li Mian looked coldly at Cheng Lang's wailing posture, and the words he spit out were even more ruthless, "You just look at Yuguan gentlely, and you won't easily turn your face with you, so it's difficult for a strong man." What is the difference between you acting like this and Wang Qinyu Zhixian and others? You are the third brother of Yuguan, you should know that she has a gentle temper internally, but she has always had clear grievances and resolute external actions. You just rely on her to let you, and you rely on her third brother, so it's hard for her! Bully her! β
Li Mian's words were more direct than Liuyun Xiaowu, like a knife splitting his disguise, revealing the deepest thoughts in his heart.
"I didn't!"
Cheng Lang subconsciously retorted, "I have been closest to my little sister since I was a child, and I have a deep relationship, how can I bully her?" It's you outsiders who interpret me too much, I just don't think about it so much for a while! β
Cheng Lang was annoyed and angry, and even yelled at Li Mian.
"Presumptuous!"
Lin Jing, who was behind Li Mian, stepped forward and shouted.
Looking at Lin Jing, who was as cold as a sword out of its sheath, and Li Mian, whose face was cold, Cheng Lang regained some calm, and quickly got up and knelt on one knee, "The grass people don't dare." β
Li Mian didn't wake up, and let him kneel for a long time before letting Cheng Lang get up.
Seeing that Cheng Lang's face was pale, I don't know if it was because of the embarrassment of kneeling for a long time or because of Li Mian's words, in short, his face was ugly.
Li Mian also got up, the two of them were opposite, they didn't look obvious on weekdays, but I didn't expect Li Mian to be lower than Cheng Lang, but Cheng Lang was rough and looked stronger, but Li Mian was extraordinary, so he stood opposite to each other, and it was not half a point.
Cheng Lang hung his head, not daring to look at Li Mian's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, but Li Mian seemed to be condescending and looked at Cheng Lang, "Don't treat others as fools, and don't wantonly hurt others just because they are good to you." Cheng Lang, you are not a child anymore, you have to be responsible for yourself when you talk and do things, you can't just push it as a matter of course without thinking of it, and push your negligence and responsibility clean. The closer the person, the more careful it is to maintain, otherwise, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse? The brotherhood of your own parents still needs to be maintained wholeheartedly, not to mention the sensitivity of Yuguan, just look at Yuguan this time, if there is a next time, I will not spare you. β
The last few words, Li Mian said sharply in Cheng Lang's ear, then threw off his sleeves and left, and for a while, the lively post hall just now instantly became deserted.
Cheng Lang's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or afraid.
In the evening, everyone gathers in the lobby for dinner.
Li Mian naturally sat on the top, Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Lang sat on Li Mian's right, and Lin Jing sat on Li Mian's left.
The big dining table was silent, only the sound of chopsticks and plates colliding.
Cheng Lang looked at Cheng Yuguan's face and didn't dare to speak.
He thought that Liuyun, who was spicy, must have told his little sister about his absurdity, and he was so ashamed for a while that he didn't dare to speak easily.
Cheng Yuguan was holding the dishes and chopsticks, her face was as usual, she was always silent, and others couldn't see her joy and anger when they looked at her face.
Lin Jing and several military attachΓ©s were very arrogant, but they didn't dare to breathe at the table at this time, the atmosphere was not right, and a few big bosses didn't dare to squeak easily.
"Don't always stare at the dishes in front of you, try this tofu."
Li Mian suddenly served Cheng Yuguan vegetables, breaking the dull atmosphere on the table.
For a while, Lin Jing and Cheng Lang subconsciously took the opportunity to gasp.
Cheng Yuguan raised his head and glanced at Li Mian, along the way, Li Mian was yin and yang from the beginning, and later successfully returned from the bandits, and the two did not break the ice.
Cheng Yuguan reflected on what Li Mian said on the mountain for a long time, but today, for some reason, a nameless fire came up, Cheng Yuguan suddenly broke out, and sent the tofu in the bowl back to Li Mian's bowl, "Don't dare to bother the fourth brother, I want to eat myself!" β
Cheng Yuguan's voice was cold, he put back the tofu, and he didn't look at Li Mian's face that sank instantly, and he took care of the rice in his mouth.
Lin Jing was stunned, sensing the gaze of the fourth prince, he hurriedly lowered his head, poured the rest of the food into his mouth, and hurriedly retreated.
Cheng Lang's reaction was a step slower, seeing a few people get out, he hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't stand the torture, and gritted his teeth and took the initiative to make it clear, "Little sister, it's me who doesn't think about it, you know me, the family is young, so sometimes it's a little lacking." In the future, I will never wronged you again. β
Cheng Yuguan heard this, but as if he didn't hear it, Li Mian saw this and looked at Cheng Lang, "You go back first, I have something to say to Yuguan." β
Cheng Lang heard this, but before he could speak, Cheng Yuguan put down the bowl with a snap.
Suddenly, the tables next door, which were originally a little noisy, paused, and they all found excuses to go out, and in a blink of an eye, there were only three left in the lobby: Cheng Yuguan, Li Mian, and Cheng Lang. Even Yicheng and his buddies made excuses to get out.
Cheng Yuguan didn't look at Cheng Lang, but glared at Li Mian, "You are a great prince, you can command others at will and teach others a lesson!" My third cousin is talking to me, why are you driving people away? If it weren't for the queen's aunt's sake, who would be willing to entertain you and go to Beijing with you, we would be more comfortable going by ourselves! β
Cheng Yuguan's words frightened Cheng Lang's face pale, and he didn't bother with how to face the little sister or apologize at this time, but immediately knelt on his knees, "The fourth prince forgives, it's all because of me, the little sister is uncomfortable, so I implicate His Royal Highness." If you want to punish me, punish me, for the sake of the queen and my father, don't worry about my little sister! β
Cheng Yuguan turned her head to look at Cheng Lang, and when she saw him kneeling on his knees, her heart didn't know why the grievances came up, her eyes were red, she stretched out her hand to drag Cheng Lang, and said stubbornly in her mouth, "This is my own business, why is the third brother kneeling on the ground?" Get up! β
While speaking, Cheng Yuguan tried hard to pull Cheng Lang up.
Cheng Lang insisted on not moving, looked at Cheng Yuguan, and saw that her eyes were red, and Cheng Lang's eyes were also red, "Little sister, it's me who is messing up, I'm sorry for you, don't hold it in your heart." The third brother will never be in the future. β
Cheng Yuguan shook his head vigorously, "Liuyun told me, didn't the third brother do it later?" It's okay, I won't take it to heart. β
Saying that, Cheng Yu looked at Li Mian angrily, "I'm not right to you, third brother, I'm dissatisfied with the fourth prince!" Why can he teach people from above and give others a face at will? β
Seeing that the little sister was still rushing the four princes like this, Cheng Lang was a little anxious.
The prince has a noble status, where did he get so offended by others? Besides, the four princes are notoriously cold, if the little sister continues to be so stubborn, the four princes can't hold their faces, and it will not be good to treat the little sister for the crime of disrespect.
Cheng Lang has never seen the little sister so irrational, and the little sister patiently persuades him on weekdays, but at this time it is his turn to be a little at a loss.
Cheng Lang looked at the four princes boldly, and the unexpected development of the four princes didn't seem to be angry? His expression was calm, his eyes were deep, and after looking at him, he said lightly, "You go down." β
For some reason, Cheng Lang suddenly relieved himself and got up to leave the lobby.
Everyone is gone, Cheng Yuguan was originally staring at Li Mian viciously, but at this time, she looked away, and the green tendons on her neck were tense, showing that she was still stubbornly angry.
Li Mian laughed, and the voice was soft, which made Cheng Yuguan angry and weak for a while, and a little aggrieved.
She naturally knew that she was angry, but just now, the string of reason in her head suddenly broke, making her act impulsively angry for the first time after being reborn, and the object was still the fourth prince who should not be chosen.
Li Mian grabbed Cheng Yuguan's shoulder and turned her around, "Don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, I am angry, I really treated you coldly, and it lasted for several days, you should be angry." β
When people are angry, what they are most afraid of is that others will say soft words, and Cheng Yuguan is no exception.
Her tears fell without warning. This physiological reaction made Cheng Yuguan hurriedly lower his head and try to hide his reaction.
Li Mian took out a piece of snow-white soft silk from his arms, and bent down to wipe Cheng Yuguan's tears.
Cheng Yuguan saw that he couldn't dodge, snatched the veil, and wiped himself indiscriminately.
Seeing this, Li Mian also let her, but he always had a smile on his face.
Cheng Yuguan was embarrassed for a moment, "What are you laughing at?" I was angry with you just now, and you are still laughing? β
Li Mian held Cheng Yuguan by his side with one hand, "People are subconsciously separated from relatives and distant from each other. Whoever can bully, who won't be really angry, has a clear heart. You can let your third brother go and get angry with me, doesn't it prove that I am closer than your third brother in your heart? It's too late for me to be happy that you're doing this to me. β
Her mind was broken, Cheng Yuguan was not only ashamed, she was simply buried by shame, her face couldn't stop being hot, she didn't need to look in the mirror, Cheng Yuguan knew that she had become a red prawn.
Cheng Yuguan tried to turn his head, not looking at Li Mian, and couldn't say anything to refute.
Some people can talk nonsense and be complacent about briefly fooling others, but Cheng Yuguan has never been able to talk about it, fooling others and fooling himself. Then the sense of morality in her heart will be troubled, and she will look down on herself.
Seeing that Cheng Yuguan was silent, the smile on Li Mian's face deepened, and he patted Cheng Yuguan's hand on the shoulder, "In the future, if you feel uncomfortable, you will have a seizure immediately." What the overall situation, what the system, you have a seizure. There is nothing worth your patience, you can't take care of your physique, you can't take care of your face, only if you disdain it and are too lazy to take care of it. Everything starts from your own heart, don't always subconsciously wronged yourself, and then feel uncomfortable behind your back. β
Li Mian's words were said lightly, but Cheng Yuguan felt concern from his light tone.
Except for parents, no one has the obligation to be patient and teach irrelevant people.
Most of them are cold-eyed, waiting for you to make a fool of yourself in the future, or suffocate yourself.
Even the eldest uncle, taking care of her face and her self-esteem, would not teach her so directly.
Cheng Yuguan's heart was sour for a while, and he felt warm, and he felt as if something was missing.
She looked up at Li Mian, "Forget it this time, if you do this again in the future, you won't even be able to save the face of the queen's aunt." β
Li Mian smiled, "Okay, I was wrong this time, and I won't dare to be cold to you in the future." β
Cheng Yuguan was satisfied, "That's good." β
After speaking, Cheng Yuguan only felt that his heart was happy, as if he had just run three thousand meters, and his stomach was empty.
"I'm hungry."
Cheng Yuguan rubbed his stomach and said suddenly.
Li Mian let go of his hand, walked to the front of the seat, and put a few plates of good dishes in front of Cheng Yuguan, "Eat quickly." β
β¦
Back in the house, Liuyun was walking around, waiting anxiously, she saw Cheng Yuguan coming back, and hurriedly ran over, grabbed Cheng Yuguan's arm and looked up and down, "They all said that the four princes were the "Iron Mask Hades", miss, are you okay?" β
But in front of everyone, her own young lady shouted at the four princes, and Liuyun was waiting in the house, and she was in a hurry. If it weren't for Lin Jing blocking it, she would have wanted to rush to the lobby and see her own young lady.
Cheng Yuguan turned around funny and let Liuyun take a look, "There are no missing arms or legs, it's okay." β
Cheng Yuguan walked to the table and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Fourth brother has a good temper, don't listen to other people's nonsense." β
Hearing Cheng Yuguan say this, Liuyun's eyes were about to fall to the ground, and with the cold face of the four princes, he couldn't see his temper from anywhere, right? Does your own lady have any misunderstanding about being good-tempered?
"Miss, you seem to be in a good mood?"
Liuyun suddenly noticed.
Cheng Yuguan drank a cup of tea and put the tea cup on the table, "I've always been in a good mood!" β
After speaking, Cheng Yu was locked in the inner room, Liuyun scratched his head, puzzled, what happened after such a while? Why has the young lady changed back to her previous leisurely appearance, and even seems to be more calm?
