stormy clouds

After all, the capital city is different from Qingzhou. At nightfall, it is even more prosperous.

The city is full of lights, and the stars are falling like rain.There are many tourists on the road, which is a bit more lively than during the day.

In front of the gate of Changping Hou Mansion, it was much quieter. Two bright red lanterns made the night beautiful and soft.

Chang Luoyun stood under the fence, looked up at the fence that was two people high, gritted his teeth, took out a rope and threw it out.

With a whoosh, the thin iron hook at the end of the rope clung to the top of the wall.She grabbed the rope, kicked her feet alternately on the wall, and climbed to the top of the wall in twos and threes.

The whole yard was dark except for a faint light on the east side.It is estimated that there is the residence of Mu Jingyi or Mrs. Mu.

She grabbed the rope neatly and jumped off the wall. Just as she turned around, she saw two black figures standing a few steps away.

Mu Jingyi looked at her with a smile, "Miss Chang is really impatient. I originally wanted to invite Miss Chang to come over tomorrow, but I didn't know you would come today."

Chang Luoyun was a little embarrassed, she coughed lightly, "Could it be that Lord Muhou knew that I would come tonight?"

Mu Jingyi didn't answer, but just smiled and said: "Since you're here, Miss Chang, would you please drink a cup of tea?"

"Master Hou doesn't blame me for breaking into the Hou's mansion at night?"

"Miss Yun'er only comes here when she has something to do." Mu Jingyi was wearing a green cloth Taoist robe, and in the night, he lacked the sternness of the day, and looked more like a modest gentleman.

Chang Luoyun patted the ashes on his palms, and said generously: "Since Lord Marquis has an invitation, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

She came to Hou's mansion originally to find him, and since she was smashed, she has nothing to hold back.

Mu Jingyi smiled and glanced at Liang Qi.

After Liang Qi retreated for a moment, the lights in the yard came on.

One by one red lanterns lead all the way to the depths of the courtyard.

The courtyard of Hou's Mansion is naturally unusual, but Chang Luoyun doesn't have the heart to look at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

Mu Jingyi brought her to a pavilion, which should be the highest point of the Hou Mansion. Standing in the pavilion, one could have a panoramic view of the entire Hou Mansion.

He stood by the pavilion with his hands behind his back, the wind blowing the hem of his robe like a flag, "Have you seen the lights of Lindu at night? Those lights are like stars in the sky, and under each light is the people's living and working in peace. "

The surrounding area was very quiet, Mu Jingyi's voice had an indescribably lazy and deep voice, Chang Luoyun looked at the night lights like stars, and smiled, "Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the world, Lord Muhou, who is decisive in killing and attacking, would have such Sensual side."

Mu Jingyi turned around, with a faint smile on his face, "Ms. Chang Si who is always gentle and docile, doesn't she also have the courage to break into the Hou's mansion at night?"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, it was a tacit understanding.

Chang Luoyun sat down, looking at Mu Jingyi with a pair of bright eyes: "I'm here today, but I don't understand something, and I want to ask Lord Hou for advice."

"Fourth Miss, it's okay to say, I will know everything." Mu Jingyi lifted his robe and sat opposite Chang Luoyun.

"Six years ago, the people suffered from a serious illness. Fortunately, they met a good doctor on the way and saved their lives. I wonder if Lord Hou knows about this?"

"When my father passed away, my mother couldn't bear the shock and fell ill. I searched for a good doctor, and when I met a girl on the way back, I asked the doctor Xu to save her." Mu Jingyi calmly narrated the incident with a smile on his face. past.

Chang Luoyun looked at him, his eyes dimmed, "In order to repay the kindness of saving my life, I searched everywhere for my lifesaver, did Hou Ye know?"

"It's just a matter of raising your hands. If you were a girl, you would definitely help me."

Chang Luoyun stood up abruptly, her chest heaving violently.She took a few deep breaths before trying to calm herself down.

"Master Hou knows that this is a matter of little effort for you, but it is a big deal for me.

Back then, my aunt had just passed away, and my grandmother was critically ill, so the Chang family kicked me out again.I am seriously ill, and my heart is like ashes.

What can support me to live, besides finding the truth, is finding a savior.

For so many years, I have studied the skills hard, just hoping to find him one day. "

Tears flashed in Chang Luoyun's eyes, "Actually, I don't expect anything extravagantly, as long as I can see him and say thank you in person, I will be satisfied and fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years.

However, you have been avoiding me.Could it be that you are afraid that I will rely on you because of the marriage contract between the Changping Hou Mansion and the Chang family? "

Mu Jingyi: "Never."

His face was just hiding in the shadow of the pillar, and it was somewhat obscure.

"Why is that?" The sparkle in Chang Luoyun's eyes was fleeting, replaced by a trace of sarcasm, "Could it be that Lord Hou is afraid that I will take anger at you for the death of my grandmother and Auntie?"

You don't kill Boren, but Boren dies because of you.

Chang Luoyun felt a dull pain in his heart.If the old Chang Pinghou hadn't made a marriage contract with the Chang family back then, wouldn't Grandma and A Niang not have died.

"Miss Yun'er." Mu Jingyi sighed, "There are many things that we cannot predict and cannot change.

I deeply regret what happened to my grandmother and Lingtang.But this is not because of the marriage contract my father made with your grandfather, but because of the greed and cruelty of the human heart.

These, we can not predict.If the girl wants to put these things on my head, I have nothing to say, but with such a dead person, the only thing Miss Yun'er has to do is to live well. "

Live well?A Niang also said this to her in the ancestral hall.

Chang Luoyun's eyes were flooded again.

"Do you know how good my grandmother and Auntie are, why did your marriage contract kill them?

And you have become my savior again. "

Mu Jingyi: "."

Chang Luoyun murmured: "Uncle Yanqing is not my mother's brother-in-law at all, is it also arranged by you?"

"Yanqing himself wants to take care of you, he is sincere."

"I see." Chang Luoyun smiled bitterly, "All of this was already in your arrangement, including this trip to the capital.

Let's talk, what should I do after I win the Queen Mother's favor? "

"Yun'er." Mu Jingyi said in a deep tone, "Even if you win the Queen Mother's favor, you don't need to ask me what you want to do, just be yourself."

"Be myself?" Chang Luoyun laughed at himself, "I understand."

She took out a stack of square papers from her sleeve, "This is the marriage contract signed by my grandfather and father-in-law back then, and now I return it to you. This matter is now over, and I will not mention the marriage contract again."

"Yun'er, you know that's not what I mean."

Chang Luoyun stood up, "Master Hou, please call me Chang Si."

The corners of Mu Jingyi's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Chang Luoyun put the marriage letter on the corner of the table, when a gust of wind came over, the paper was blown away, and it was about to float to the ground.

Mu Jingyi stood up and grabbed the marriage certificate in his hand, Chang Luoyun glanced back at him, turned and left.

"Master Hou, why didn't you tell the girl? The reason why you didn't tell her was because you were always guarding the border, and you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to protect her well." Liang Qi said softly.

"It's okay," Mu Jingyi looked at the marriage letter intently, "The future will be long, and everything can be figured out slowly."

He raised his eyes, looking at Chang Luoyun's receding figure, "Liang Qi, take Miss Yun'er back."

Liang Qi agreed, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
