On April 18, Ling Xiaoxiao and Luo Ningyu returned from Wudang Province.

To this day, the rumors about Luo Tianjin and the ruthless valley lord have spread in the rivers and lakes. Everyone thought that after Ling Xiaoxiao returned, King Xian's Mansion would definitely experience an unprecedented turmoil.

However, three full days passed, and the Xianwang Mansion was still calm. Ling Xiaoxiao not only did not ask Luo Tianjin Xingshi for his guilt, but he didn't even say a word about this matter.

The relationship between Luo Tianjin and Ling Xiaoxiao is as good as ever, raising their eyebrows and respecting each other. As if she didn't know anything about her husband's rumors, her reaction was so calm that she couldn't help but be intrigued.

On April 21, Luo Tianjin, who was preoccupied, sat quietly in the study until late at night. He held the scroll in his hand, but his eyes were staring at the candle on the desk without blinking, his expression was in a trance, his face was melancholy, and he did not know what he was thinking.

"Squeak!"

With a soft thud, the door opened. Ling Xiaoxiao held a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest and walked slowly and softly to Luo Tianjin's side.

Under Luo Tianjin's indescribably complicated gaze, Ling Xiaoxiao took the scroll in her hand and replaced it with a bowl of bird's nest. Then he walked around behind him, a pair of soft and boneless Qianqian jade hands, gently rubbing his shoulders for him.

Although Ling Xiaoxiao is over forty years old, she has always been carefully maintained, and her appearance and posture are not much better than that of a girl.

"Madame, I ......"

"Brother Jin, this bowl of rock sugar bird's nest is boiled by me, eat it while it's hot, don't disappoint me. Ling Xiaoxiao reminded softly, "Listen to Xuan'er, during my absence, the Xianwang Mansion has changed four cooks one after another, but it is still not to your taste. I knew that you had a bad appetite, so I would have come back early, so that you would have to worry about trivial matters. ”

After that, Ling Xiaoxiao slowly leaned forward, pressed her soft and warm delicate body on Luo Tianjin's shoulder, reached out and picked up the spoon, scooped out a spoonful, raised it to her mouth and gently blew it a few times, waited for the heat to dissipate a little, and then carefully sent it to Luo Tianjin's lips.

"Come, see if my craft has improved?"

In the face of Ling Xiaoxiao's thoughtfulness, Luo Tianjin felt guilty and looked embarrassed. He swallowed the bird's nest in one gulp, and then praised it again and again: "Madame's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world, you can feed my mouth all these years." If you're not around, I'm afraid I'll starve to death sooner or later. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time showed a touch of blush on her face, pretending to be angry and said, "Phew! Such a good bird's nest can't stop your mouth." ”

"Such a good bird's nest should naturally be enjoyed with the lady. ”

Luo Tianjin smiled softly, suddenly grabbed Ling Xiaoxiao's jade neck with her backhand, and then gently pushed, Ling Xiaoxiao's red lips instantly stuck to Luo Tianjin's lips, and a wisp of sweetness of rock sugar bird's nest entered her mouth.

Ling Xiaoxiao, who was caught off guard, snorted, and the ruddy on her face instantly spread to the root of her ears. When Luo Tianjin "let go" of her, Ling Xiaoxiao was already red-faced, shortness of breath, happy and annoyed in her heart, and said shamefully: "It's not serious! Beware of being seen by others." ”

"Whoever dares to look at me will gouge out their eyes. ”

Luo Tianjin smiled heartily, and then took away the spoon in Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, the banter on his face gradually subsided, replaced by an affectionate and complex dignified color.

The two looked at each other, and the deeper Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes looked at him, the more guilty the color on Luo Tianjin's face became.

"Brother Jin, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xiaoxiao's jade hand gently caressed Luo Tianjin's cheek, and her eyes were extremely gentle.

"Madam, I'm ......" Luo Tianjin wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was hesitating in his heart, and struggled a few times before he slowly spoke, "Madam, don't you want to question me?"

"Question?" Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes darkened, and she forced herself to calm down, "What should I ask you?"

"The rumors about me and the ruthless valley lord are already full of turmoil outside, and everyone knows about it. Luo Tianjin's brows tightened, and he said firmly, "You can't be ignorant!"

"I know. ”

"Know?" Facing the breezy Ling Xiaoxiao, Luo Tianjin was taken aback and said hurriedly, "Since you know, why don't you come and question me?"

Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes straightened, and she asked rhetorically, "Why do I want to question you?"

"Because you and I are the right couple. Luo Tianjin said, "As a wife, how can she turn a blind eye to the fact that her husband has other women outside?"

"Because I believe in you. Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I believe that my husband will never betray his wife and children." So why should I believe the gossip out there that I don't know?"

Ling Xiaoxiao's words, her tone was sincere, and her attitude was earnest, which moved Luo Tianjin, and at the same time, her heart was painful and entangled. From Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes, he couldn't see the slightest doubt, anger, or blame, only gentleness, attachment and sincerity.

"Madame, I ......"

"Shhhhhhhhh As your wife, apart from believing in my husband, all I have left is unhesitating support. There are some things, you don't have to tell me the reason, you don't have to tell me the result, you just need to remember that I, Ling Xiaoxiao, are your wife, and only we can call it a 'family', which is enough." ”

"I, Luo Tianjin, can marry you in this life, which is a blessing that I have cultivated for ten lifetimes. Luo Tianjin's eye sockets were red, and he promised, "Don't worry, no matter when, no matter what happens, my Luo Tianjin's wife, you will always be the only one, Ling Xiaoxiao!"

"Brother Jin, we watched each other grow up, childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, the fate between you and me is impossible to unravel in a lifetime. Ling Xiaoxiao was moved to tears, and choked up, "I may not be the woman you love the most in this life, but I firmly believe that I must be the woman who loves you the most in the world." ”

"Sit down, ma'am!"

Luo Tianjin got up suddenly, put Ling Xiaoxiao on the chair, half-knelt beside her lap, and said with a straight face: "Actually, there is something I have been hiding from you for more than 20 years, I ......"

"Brother Jin!" Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted, "You don't need to tell me......"

"No!" Luo Tianjin shook his head resolutely and said, "Husbands and wives should be honest with each other." If I deceive you again, wouldn't it be better to be a beast? In fact, I have always kept this matter in my heart, and every time in the dead of night, I will be restless and uneasy. I don't want to hide it from you, and I even want to tell you and the discernment, but I just ...... It's just that I can't untie my knot, and I can't get over my own level. I'm afraid that after confessing, you won't forgive me, and you will even leave me...... But now, I have no excuse or reason to continue to hide it. Madame, I swear to heaven that I will never hide anything from you from now on!"

Ling Xiaoxiao burst into tears and sobbed again and again. Hugh watched them spend more than 20 years together, but it was not until the night that she truly realized the honesty that a husband should have with his wife.

There are some things that Ling Xiaoxiao has never mentioned, but she knows them clearly in her heart. Back then, Luo Tianjin married her, and her real feelings may only account for one-third, and the remaining half comes from her background and family background.

The only daughter of the head of Wudang, whoever can marry can ascend to the sky in one step. This was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for Luo Tianjin, who was unknown at the time but had great ambitions.

In the end, it turned out that he had made the right choice back then. With his own talent and hard work, and relying on the strong support of Ling Xiaoxiao and the Wudang faction, Luo Tianjin rose rapidly in the rivers and lakes, changed from a nobody, and became the world-famous King of Beixian.

Of course, the world is impermanent, and cause and effect circulate. While Luo Tianjin gains something, he will inevitably lose something. For example, his lifelong love affair with the ruthless valley lord.

"Brother Jin......"

"Sit well, ma'am, and listen to me!"

With that, Luo Tianjin turned around and took out a picture scroll from the bookcase and slowly unfolded it in front of Ling Xiaoxiao.

The young woman on the picture scroll is the "Rou'er" that Luo Tianjin thought about for a while.

"This ......"

"Madam, she is the Lord of the Heartless Valley. Luo Tianjin said bluntly, "It is also a woman who had an unforgettable relationship with me more than 20 years ago." ”

"She ......" Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the lifelike Allure Beauty on the picture scroll with complicated eyes, and her voice became more and more trembling, "She is the ruthless valley master......?" Siu Tsz Rou ......"

"No!" Luo Tianjin smiled sadly and shook her head, "Her real name is not 'Xiao Zhirou', but 'Teng Rou'." As for why she changed her name, I don't know. Perhaps...... I was hurt too much back then, so I wanted to be reborn, and the second was a human ......"

"Teng Rou?"

Ling Xiaoxiao's eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an indescribable strange color. After a while, Fang muttered to himself, "Why does this name sound familiar to me?" It seems to ...... Where have you heard ......?"

"Of course you've heard that. Luo Tianjin replied, "Teng Rou is the daughter of Teng Sanshi, the patriarch of the Teng clan in Xiangxi. ”

"What?" Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly held her breath and hid her face, "She...... She...... She's Teng Sanshi's daughter?"

"Yes!"

Luo Tianjin's eyes were deep, as if he was caught in a distant memory, and he narrated a grievance and hatred in the past: "More than 20 years ago, my martial arts encountered a bottleneck, and in order to break through the shackles, I went to the Teng clan in Xiangxi alone to ask for the Teng clan's treasure 'Jiyuan Dan', which can quickly improve internal strength. Unexpectedly, I got lost in the dense forest of Xiangxi, and finally fell unconscious due to mishaps, but fortunately, I was blessed by God and was rescued by someone when I was dying. And the person who rescued me from the ghost gate was none other than Teng Rou. In order to avoid extraneous branches, I assumed the pseudonym 'Apocalypse' and stayed in the Teng clan to recuperate. During that time, I got along with Teng Rou almost day and night, although she was the eldest lady of the Teng clan, she was kind-hearted and simple-minded, and instead of being half wary of me, a 'stranger' of unknown origin, she took good care of me, and repeatedly prevented other clansmen from making things difficult for me. Maybe it's fate, we go from being ignorant to knowing each other, and then to talking about everything, and gradually ......"

As for this, Luo Tianjin's voice stopped abruptly, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Seeing this, although Ling Xiaoxiao was sour in her heart, she had already comprehended his thoughts, and answered: "Gradually, you have fallen in love with her, and she has ...... I also like it. Isn't it?"

"Yes. Luo Tianjin said ashamedly, "In just a few months, my relationship with her has increased day by day, and it has almost reached the point of intimacy in talking about marriage. ”

"Shhh

Luo Tianjin's words made Ling Xiaoxiao's liver and intestines break and hurt like a knife, but she was still full of curiosity about what happened later, and said bitterly: "Since you are in love, why don't you stay in the Teng clan...... Accomplish good things with her?"

Hearing this, an extremely complicated meaning of grief suddenly appeared between Luo Tianjin's eyebrows.

He looked at Ling Xiaoxiao, who was full of sorrow, with trembling eyes, and was silent for a long time, and finally replied reluctantly: "Because I was ...... at that time He is married and has a son. ”
