Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 132
Although the autumn wind is rustling, it is a bit cold, but there are thick haystacks in the cave, and it is in a place where the wind is blowing, but it is not too cold.

Xie Chongguang inspected the entire cave carefully, and the finely divided hay was obviously man-made, and the raised haystacks were also obviously man-made, and he thought that people lived here before.

Xie Chongguang was worried that Miss Lin's family would catch a cold, so he lit a big fire, and the two of them sat around the fire, chatting to relieve boredom while warming the fire.

Xie Chongguang's family background was not good when he was young, on the contrary, he was relatively poor, just because his ancestors had high-ranking officials, so the family style has always been strict, which is why Xie Chongguang became the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor at a young age.

Later, relying on his son's brilliance, his father also obtained an official position, and Xie's family became a household name in the capital for a while.

After hearing Xie Chongguang's story, Lin Mengyao admired him even more.

I thought that he became the prime minister of the court because of his prominent family background, but he didn't expect that he was born in a poor family, and he reached his current status step by step by relying on his own talent.

Lin Mengyao was fascinated by what she heard, and her eyes stayed under Xie Chongguang's arm all the time, but because she was shy, she didn't dare to raise her head and look directly at him.

"Miss Lin...Miss Lin?" Xie Chongguang called softly.

Lin Mengyao was already intoxicated in her own thoughts, and it was only when she called twice in a row that she suddenly woke up.

Lin Mengyao looked at Xie Chongguang with a questioning expression.

"Does Miss Lin feel cold?" Xie Chongguang's eyes were full of concern.

"Returning to Xiangye, Mengyao doesn't feel cold. I was fascinated by listening to Xiangye's story just now. I was distracted for a while. It's no wonder I still look at Xiangye." Lin Mengyao lowered her head in embarrassment. The light of the fire made her fair face red, making her look even more charming.

Xie Chongguang, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

The family affairs of the second young lady of the Lin family are also good. Her father is the general who protects the country, and she is one of the most favored daughters of the Lin family.

Not only that, but she is proficient in poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is even more good at various embroidery, carving and other exquisite handicrafts, but she is so bright and charming, she is a rare beauty with skillful hands.

Seeing that Xie Chongguang was staring at her, Lin Mengyao was even more shy and didn't dare to raise her head, she kept hanging down, looking at the weeds on the ground.

"No wonder, no wonder, is Ms. Lin sleepy? If you are sleepy, you must inform Xie, and Xie will immediately go to the cave to watch the night, in case there are wild animals." Xie Chongguang is very polite, and Lin Mengyao's heart feels warm when he speaks meaning.

It's just that the late night in autumn is also very cold. If it is in a cave, there is no guarantee that it will not get sick by the fire.If it was outside, even a body made of iron would not be able to stand being blown by the north wind overnight.

When Lin Mengyao thought of this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she was also an innocent daughter, if she spent the night in the cave with the Prime Minister, how would she see people in the future?But if Xie Chongguang were to watch the night outside alone and suffer from the autumn wind that night, she really couldn't bear it, and it was a dilemma.

Finally, Lin Mengyao became ruthless, and said leisurely: "Master Xiang doesn't need to keep watch at night, we can scare away wild animals by lighting a fire at the entrance of the cave."

"But... Xie has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not, please let Miss Lin explain it clearly." Although Xie Chongguang didn't want to be cold outside the cave, this man and woman couldn't get close, let alone being in the same cave at night.

Suffering from the cold all night, you will be sick for three to five days at most, but if you ruin the young lady's innocence, it will be a lifelong event.

"Master, but it doesn't matter." Lin Mengyao naturally guessed what he wanted to say.

"I lost my way in this paddock with Ms. Lin today. Fortunately, there is a cave to shelter me. It's just that this lonely man... the widow, I'm afraid that the servants will find her tomorrow and ruin Ms. Lin's reputation. Then Xie deserves to die." Xie Chongguang hesitated when he said it, but these were indeed the truth.

Lin Mengyao just listened quietly from the side, and was not in a hurry to interrupt him.

"So Xie decided not to be in the cave with Ms. Lin tonight, otherwise it would be even more unclear. It's getting late now, why not Ms. Lin resting, and Xie is going out now." Xie Chongguang's expression was a little bit Nervous, maybe he has never encountered such a situation.

Just as he stood up and was about to go out, Lin Mengyao grabbed his sleeve.

"Master Xiang, don't worry, Mengyao is not sleepy, why don't we chat for a while? Otherwise, Mengyao will also be afraid of this extremely dark cave." Lin Mengyao looked up at Xie Chongguang, her bright eyes were full of tears. It's a look of anticipation.

There was still a hint of reluctance in those eyes, maybe in this special environment, the girl's dependence was born out of fear.

But Xie Chongguang didn't have the mood to talk any more. This woman's family's reputation is the most important thing in her life.

At this moment, he secretly made a decision in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, a ray of sunlight shone into the cave, followed by a loud noise.

It turned out that Xie Zi'an and the brothers of the Lin family couldn't find them in the middle of the night last night, and finally had to decide to go back to rest. After all, no matter how anxious they are in the dark night, it won't help.

No, early in the morning, when it was still daylight, the brothers of the Lin family and Xie Zi'an took their servants and started looking around again.

This time Xie Zian deliberately pointed out the horseshoe prints to everyone, so that everyone followed the horseshoe prints to find the "black unicorn" outside the cave. This is Xie Chongguang's mount, and finding the horse is equivalent to finding a person.

"Father, are you in there?" Xie Zian called into the cave.

Hearing this cry, Xie Chongguang woke up jolted, but found that he fell asleep at some point.

He hurriedly got up and straightened his clothes, and walked down the haystack to wake up Lin Mengyao who was still in a coma.

Lin Mengyao didn't sleep at first, and when it was almost dawn, she couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell into a drowsy sleep. She didn't expect that it would be dawn, and what was even more unexpected was that her brothers had already found them. , and right now outside the cave.

Rao was Lin Mengyao who was favored the most on weekdays, but at this time it was inevitable that she had a flustered expression on her face.

"An'er? I'm here for my father." Xie Chongguang agreed outside the cave, and then said to Lin Mengyao: "Miss Lin, don't panic, wait for Xie to go out and explain." After that, he took a step and walked out of the cave. walked over.

Lin Mengyao didn't know what to do at this time, so she could only follow Xie Chongguang's orders.

Hearing Xie Chongguang's voice, Xie Zi'an hurriedly looked in from the entrance of the cave. Since he didn't know the situation inside, he didn't dare to enter rashly.

It wasn't until Xie Chongguang came out that Xie Zi'an hurried over to salute Xie Chongguang.

"Greetings to my father, my son is incompetent. I only found the horseshoe this morning, and I didn't find the cave until this hour. My father has suffered, and my son is guilty of being unfilial." Xie Zi'an knelt down.

"An'er, get up, it's not easy to find this paddock so big, how can I blame you for being a father." Xie Chongguang helped Xie Zi'an.

At this time, several sons of the Lin family came to visit Xie Chongguang one by one.

After exchanging polite greetings, Lin Yuetian, the eldest son of the Lin family, cupped his hands and asked, "Yesterday, I was honored by the Prime Minister's generosity, but I don't know where my sister is now?"

Xie Chongguang didn't intend to hide it, so he said directly: "Miss Lin is currently in the cave, but she accidentally twisted her ankle yesterday, and it is inconvenient to move around at this time, so she has been resting inside."

"What?! Did you spend the night together in the cave yesterday?" Lin Yuetian was shocked.

After Xie Chongguang nodded in agreement, he turned angry.

"Xie Xiangye, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, so you naturally know the reason why men and women can't get married. My sister has not yet left the cabinet, but she spent the night with you in the same cave. Why do you destroy the family's reputation of my sister's daughter?" ?” Lin Yuetian became more and more angry as he spoke, his whole face flushed red.

Of course, Xie Chongguang knew that no matter how hard it was to evade this matter, and the second young lady of the Lin family was both beautiful and talented, and she was also a well-known skillful hand in the capital. Such a beauty was naturally endearing.

Under the pressure of the Lin family brothers, Xie Chongguang nodded half-heartedly and promised that he would be responsible for this matter.

Now that Xie Chongguang's promise has been obtained, Lin Yuetian suggested: "Since the Prime Minister has promised to be responsible for this matter, let's leave this matter alone, but there is still one thing that needs to be troubled by the Prime Minister."

"Oh? I don't know if I need Xie's help?" Xie Chongguang asked.

"Master Xiang also said just now that Ms. She's ankle is injured and it's difficult for her to walk. Why don't you trouble Mr. Xiang to carry Ms. She from the cave to the horse?" Lin Yuetian said.

Xie Chongguang still wanted to shirk, but all the people who came here were men, and the others were even more inappropriate. After thinking twice, he had no choice but to go back to the cave.

Lin Mengyao heard the conversation between Xie Chongguang and her brother just now. When she heard about being responsible, her fair cheeks couldn't help but blush.

Due to the poor light in the cave, Xie Chongguang didn't notice any difference in her.

"Miss Lin, your foot is injured, it is really not suitable for activities, Xie has to offend." Xie Chongguang said very politely, waiting for Lin Mengyao's consent.

Lin Mengyao nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

Xie Chongguang walked to Lin Mengyao's side, tidied up her dress, put one hand on top and the other on the bottom, and hugged Lin Mengyao horizontally with all her strength.

When he walked out of the cave with Lin Mengyao in his arms, everyone became witnesses.

Xie Chongguang directly helped Lin Mengyao onto the 'Black Kirin', turned over and sat behind her, and the group went back to the other garden in a mighty manner.

Xie Wanqing washed up a long time ago and wandered back and forth outside the other garden. They should be back by the time, but they waited for a long time and they were still gone.

When she was looking into the distance with the awning in her hands, a group of people appeared in front of her eyes. There were two people sitting on a tall black horse. The one in front was Lin Mengyao in a red cloak, and the one behind was her father.

The corners of Xie Wanqing's mouth raised slightly, it seemed that everything was going well.
