The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 440
As Qin Wan said, she behaved very naturally in the Luqiu Mansion, as if nothing had happened between her and Xun Che.

The maids in the backyard all said that she was kicked out of the east courtyard because she annoyed Xun Che.Qin Wan didn't take it seriously after hearing this, and continued to do the work at hand skillfully and neatly, and occasionally helped Luqiu Houhou guide the articles assigned by the female master.

The days were smooth and ordinary, without any waves.

But what Qin Wan didn't expect was that Muluqiu Xiangliang of Donghai Prefecture returned to Penglai County from Hancheng, the capital, and brought an unexpected person with her.

"Ma'am, this is Lord Lu, the governor of Pei County." Luqiu Xiangliang introduced Luling, who was wearing a plain white long gown, to Mrs. Luqiu.

Qin Wan was originally serving tea with his wife, but when he saw Luling, his mood was a little unsteady, he didn't hold the tray full of tea sets and the tea spilled on his dress, and the cup fell out.

Lu Ling also noticed Qin Wan at this time, subconsciously rushed forward to help her catch the falling teacup, and helped her steady.

Lord Luqiu saw Qin Wan being so rude, and was about to reprimand him.Lu Ling spoke first, and asked Qin Wan with concern, "Why are you here?"

Qin Wan chuckled: "Lord Lu, long time no see..."

Lord Luqiu and his wife looked at each other.

Lu Ling never thought that Qin Wan would be a maid serving tea here, and his heart ached, and his eyes couldn't hide his pity.

Seeing this, Madam Luqiu immediately asked, "Master Lu knows Xiao Liu?"

Qin Wan stepped forward and said, "Lord Lu is an old friend of my late father."

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Lu Ling calmly said, "Yes, I was quite surprised to see the daughter of an old friend. I'm being rude."

Lord Luqiu smiled immediately: "I see."

Mrs. Luqiu heard this, and hurriedly said: "I didn't expect Master Lu to have such a fate with our family. Xiao Liu, please put the tea and go back to the room and change your dress."

"Yes, ma'am." Qin Wan smiled at Lu Ling, then leaned back and stepped back.

On the way back to the room to change clothes, Qin Wan felt a little heavy.Counting the years, she hadn't seen Luling for nearly 25 years. She never thought that he could still maintain the same appearance as before, without any change at all.

At that time, she was taken away from Peijun by Ning Yi and never met Luling again, but she guessed that Luling must know that she later became Ning Yi's queen, and maybe she knew more.

Back in Ningxiang Garden, Qin Wan put on the new dress that she had been reluctant to wear before, combed her hair again, put on a simple but delicate bun, and used the old clothes she collected from Houhou on weekdays Rouge and gouache painted himself a perfect makeup without makeup, and then returned to the front hall.

When Qin Wan appeared in the living room again with tea, Lu Ling's full attention was on her.

Madam Luqiu's eyes were bright, and she saw the clue in an instant. She smiled and said to Mr. Luqiu: "Master, you and Mr. Lu are exhausted, why don't you let Mr. Lu stay and rest first."

Lord Luqiu saw the look in the eyes from his wife, and immediately understood: "Okay, Lord Lu, let's take a rest first. Tonight I will invite some friends to hold a banquet at the house."

"Xiao Liu, you are in charge of taking Lord Lu to Hualin Garden," Mrs. Luqiu instructed, "Since Lord Lu has met you, you will be responsible for serving in Hualin Garden these few days."

"Yes, ma'am." Qin Wan took the order.

After bidding farewell to Luqiu and his wife, Qin Wan took Lu Ling to Hualin Garden.

The two walked side by side, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After walking more than ten steps, Lu Ling spoke first: "Why are you here...?"

Qin Wan sighed: "It's a long story."

"Do you want to go back to Pei County with me?" Lu Ling said directly.

Qin Wan heard the pity in his tone and shook her head: "No, Ning Yi and Haotian Shenjun are here."

"What?!" Lu Ling stopped in shock, "Shenjun...?"

"Lu Ling, you are actually the god deer in the Heavenly Ultimate Wonderland, right?" Qin Wan asked with a smile.

Lu Ling looked at Qin Wan and nodded silently: "The god is really here?!"

"Well, I guess you'll see them soon," Qin Wan sighed, "So it's a long story, so I'll tell you slowly..."

While talking, Qin Wan led Lu Ling into Hualin Garden. They sat in the room and chatted for a whole afternoon. Qin Wan re-brewed the tea seven or eight times.

She told Lu Ling in the most concise way all the things that happened after she left Pei County, except for the part where she suffered. She didn't finish until the evening.

"...I didn't expect Shenjun and Emperor Ning to be reincarnated." Lu Ling sighed with drooping eyelashes.

Qin Wan shrugged his shoulders: "Yeah, I don't know if it's because I repaired the life wheel and moved the world, and fate gave the three of us another chance to live... But fortunately, those things are over, now I've been living in such ease, I feel lucky already."

"Can you recognize them?" Lu Ling asked.

Qin Wan shook her head: "The two of them have no memory of their past lives at all. But I think it's good to not be able to remember anything, and I don't want them to be dragged down by all kinds of past lives."

"How are you doing?" Lu Ling asked Qin Wan as gently as before.

Qin Wan nodded: "Well, it's good. I no longer have any hatred or worry in my heart. It's very calm and relaxed. How about you? Are you doing well?"

Lu Ling looked into Qin Wan's eyes and smiled calmly: "Well, I'm fine too."

"That's good..." Qin Wan nodded, "Where is Old General Lu? He must be very angry with me. After all, I left Peijun without even saying hello. I must have lost your family in Peijun." face."

"Father passed away ten years ago," Lu Ling said with a smile, "but he remembered you until the end of his life. He also said that the biggest regret in this life is that you didn't really marry into our family."

"If you say that, I will really feel ashamed." Qin Wan smiled lightly.

Lu Ling: "What are you going to do next?"

Qin Wan shook her head: "I didn't think much about it. But after autumn, the two of them and the eldest lady of Luqiu's family will go to Yunxia Academy to study, and I will go with them. I think life may be like this for a day It's one day, just grow old and die peacefully."

Lu Ling nodded: "You know where I am, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can still come to me, I'm always there."

Hearing what Lu Ling said, Qin Wan's nose suddenly felt a little sour: "Thank you, Lu Ling."

At this time, a servant from the mansion came to inform that a banquet had been prepared in the dining room, and Lu Ling was invited to the banquet.

Qin Wan and Lu Ling chatted, and led him to the restaurant. Lu Ling told Qin Wan that after the Heavenly Demon Barrier was repaired, the day lily was released from the Baishan Gate and returned to Pei County, where it is still in the Lu Mansion. dupe.

"I haven't seen day lilies for a long time, and I always wanted to thank her." Qin Wan smiled, "Lu Ling, I always thought day lilies were very good, but you didn't..."

Lu Ling shook his head helplessly: "I know what you're thinking. But the relationship between Daylianocallis and I is just a master-servant relationship, so don't think too much about it."

Qin Wan: "Didn't you marry another wife?"

Lu Ling sighed lightly: "No."

Qin Wan raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Lu Ling didn't speak, but remained softly silent.

Qin Wan regretted asking Lu Ling "why", she felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't say anything more.

When they came to the dining room, apart from Luqiu and his wife, Xun Cheng, Xun Che, Luqiu Houhou, and several friends of Mr. Luqiu had already attended the table.Lord Luqiu introduced everyone to Luling, and Luling also began to socialize with them.When he saw Xun Cheng and Xun Che, fortunately, Qin Wan made the preparations in advance, so he was not overly surprised.

Seeing that she had nothing else to do, Qin Wan retreated silently, completely oblivious to Xun Che's eyes on her from the crowd.

She left the restaurant and walked to the corridor not far from the water with her arms folded. Listening to the sound of frogs and cicadas, she was in a particularly good mood.

Being able to see Lu Ling and chatting with him about many old things made her feel much more at ease, and a smile was unconsciously on her face.

Just when Qin Wan was in a good mood and even began to hum a song silently, Xun Che suddenly came to the corridor and walked to Qin Wan's side with a cold face.
