Chapter 186 A Different Kind of Emotion

I don't know what Xia Mochen said to the prime minister's father, but she continued to live here anyway.

Because of Zhu Wan's careful care, she did not have a fever from the arrow wound, and she recovered fairly well.

Except for the temporary inconvenience of using the right hand, there is no other discomfort.

The day passed like this.

At night, wait from Xu time to Hai time, and then to midnight.

In the dead of night, Xia Mochen did not appear as usual.

Habit is a terrible thing, as it is now.

She was used to his showing up on time, used to his existence, and when she suddenly didn't come for a night, she would have all kinds of wild guesses in her mind.

He is not well, sick?
When the emperor was assassinated, Lin Shun arrived so late, what's wrong with him?
Or was his arrival just a whim?
……

In the past 20 years of her life, Qian Ling has never been so entangled as she is now.

When he came, she was very calm, but in a good mood.

You can fool others, but you cannot fool yourself.

Like tonight, if I don't see him, I will have trouble sleeping.

There is such a trace of sourness and worry mixed in my heart.

She would actually stir up emotional changes because of a man.

This kind of feeling is strange but seems a little fascinating.

This night was difficult for Qian Ling, and she fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up, it was past noon and it was late.

After eating breakfast and lunch together, Zhu Wan saw that she was idle and in a daze, with bruises under her phoenix eyes, it seemed that she didn't sleep well last night.

She asked: "Miss, would you like to rest for a while?"

Qian Ling came back to his senses and shook his head: "I won't be able to sleep at night."

Seeing what she said, Zhu Wan didn't try to persuade her anymore, and talked about another thing:

"Sishi today, the emperor met with the fourth young master and gave him the reward of the first place in the hunting competition.

"But he didn't even hear what the reward was, so he refused, saying that he wanted the emperor to agree to one thing..."

Qian Ling raised her eyes, her red lips straightened, and she had already vaguely guessed what this matter was.

Zhu Wan paused for a moment, then said the unfinished words:

"The fourth young master's request is that Miss, your marriage is up to you. If you don't want it, you don't want to marry."

"Fool!"

Qian Ling murmured softly, but felt a little happy in her heart.

So this is the family...

It is completely different from the former Qianjia who only had one cold task after another.

Here, let her feel warm.
-
Another few days passed, and Xia Mochen never appeared again, not even Lin Shun and Xu Jiarui beside him.

They seem to have evaporated from the world.

At the end of the middle ten days, the emperor was about to leave for the palace. Considering that Qian Ling's health was still not good and he was not suitable for traveling long distances, he deliberately sent him to Anyang Manor to recuperate from his injuries.

On the eve of departure, Qian Ling returned to the west courtyard.

The person who came to pick her up was the elder brother.

She refused to take the sedan chair, and just walked back slowly.

The two brothers and sisters did not speak much along the way.

When approaching the courtyard where he lived, Qian Ling said, "Brother seems to be very busy recently."

"En." Qian Tianyi was immersed in his own thoughts, and when he heard the voice, he subconsciously responded, and then he reacted belatedly, "Huh?"

After a moment of silence, he said:

"I'm really busy these days, and I rarely have time to see Fifth Sister."

Qian Ling raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and asked, "What are you busy with?"

Hearing this, Qian Tianyi raised his hand to touch her head, and said in a gentle voice:

"Fifth Younger Sister needs to rest in peace of mind, don't worry about these things, Big Brother knows it well."

"Will Big Brother go to the border?" Qian Ling asked.

Although going to Anyang Manor is part of her plan, communication in this world is not well developed, and information dissemination is slow, so it is often impossible to grasp the movements of distant places in the first place.

Qian Tianyi knew what she was worried about, so he patted her head gently and said:

"Fifth Sister, don't worry, Big Brother will consider things more comprehensively in the future, and won't let others have the opportunity to blackmail the family to do things they don't want to do."

"Ah."

Qian Ling replied in understanding.

This actually shows that he will still go.

He wants to find the answer that has been perplexing him.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Qian Ling met his parents and his third brother, but he couldn't see his fourth brother who always liked to wear red clothes.

She asked, "Where is fourth brother?"

Everyone's complexion is a little strange.

"What happened?" Qian Ling asked again.

"In his own room." Qian Chengzhi said out loud.

Qian Ling: "I'll go see him."

"Linger..."

Wang Shi hesitated to speak, but was interrupted by Qian Chengzhi before she could say anything.

He looked at his daughter who cast his gaze over and said, "Go."

"En." Qian Ling responded and walked out of the front hall.
-
"Lightly! Lightly! Lightly!!!"

Standing outside the door, Qian Ling, who was about to raise his hand to open the door, heard violent howling from inside the house.

The volume is getting higher and higher each time, and the tone is also getting heavier every time.

She paused, and pushed open the door decisively.

What caught my eye was——

On the soft couch inside and outside the house, the boy was half naked lying on his stomach, with bruises of various sizes on his back.

His attendant was carefully rubbing the medicine on him.

From time to time he can still hear a slight 'hissing' sound.

Because his face was leaning against the inside, Qian Ling couldn't see his emotions, but he could still imagine his expression at the moment.

Suddenly feeling the cold wind pouring in, the attendant Benan looked towards the door.

Seeing this, his hands trembled, and he pressed heavily on the bruise on Qian Mingzhu's back.

The pain made him gasp, and he clenched his fists tightly under his head with folded hands, his veins bulged, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

It took a long while before he got over it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Benan! You're done!"

He didn't look back, but still buried his face inward, feeling the coolness from his back, he shivered, and asked:
"Is your door open?

"Why does it feel like the wind is blowing in?

"You kid, you want to freeze me to death, don't you?"

Hearing this, Qian Ling glanced at Zhu Wan.

The latter turned around and closed the door, very lightly.

"Fourth Young Master..."

Benin wanted to remind him that the lady was coming.

Qian Mingzhu interrupted before she could speak, "Why did you take the medicine so slowly?
"Hurry up! That girl is coming back today, don't let her see you."

"I've already seen it."

Qian Ling took his words in a calm voice without any emotion.

Then the house fell into dead silence.

Qian Mingzhu's whole body became stiff, and Benan dared not move with the medicine in his hand.

Qian Ling stood where he was, looking at the young man with his head buried in his arms.

The eyes are so straight.

Huo'er couldn't stand it anymore, it said:
"Master, have you forgotten that you are a woman?
"Is it bad for you to stare at a naked man like that?"

Qian Ling replied very calmly: "This is my brother."
