Chapter 37

Jin Yiwei packed up his luggage, and everyone who came in and out saw Princess Changle following Master Shen.Shen Yan was busy listening to everyone's reports, inspecting the situation of all parties, and even handing over to the people on Lu Mingshan's side.As a result, Princess Changle acted as if nothing happened, and slowly followed Mr. Shen leisurely.

From time to time, when Shen Yan was thinking or talking, she quietly said beside her, "Master Shen, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water? This is the tea made by Lingbi and the others with the mountain dew they picked. It clears and moistens the throat.”

Shen Yan turned her head and gave her a warning look.

Liu Ling shut up obediently.

But only after a while, when Shen Yan continued her business, she floated over like a ghost again, and said, "Master Shen, are you tired? I think you are sweating, whether it is hot or bitter, you I have to say something."

"..." Shen Yan gritted his teeth, he had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to mess with Liu Ling.She is too pretentious a woman, the more she talks about it, the more unclear it is.

But even if Shen Yan ignored it, Liu Ling still got more and more excited, "Master Shen, do you want to eat? I haven't seen you eating this morning..."

"You," Shen Yan's scalp went numb from her harassment, and he pulled her over with heavy eyes, "Come with me."

When Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling came to the road, they happened to see Shen Yan walking out holding the arm of Princess Changle.Shen Yan saw the two of them, but didn't even bother to give one of them.Liu Ling was staggered by Shen Yan, probably did not see Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling at all.

Yue Ling couldn't help being in a daze, and sighed sincerely, "It turns out that the relationship between the princess and Mrs. Shen is already so good, no wonder she..."

Lu Mingshan tightened his grip on her hand, which hurt her.Under the apologetic eyes and comforting embrace of the other party, Yue Ling blinked the teardrops on his eyelashes, and smiled softly, "Brother Ming, don't think too much, I will definitely help you get back together with the princess."

"Sister Ling... Thank you very much. I treated you like that before, and you are still willing..."

"Brother Ming, what nonsense are you talking about? My greatest hope in life is that you, Brother Ming, are happy. Only when you are happy, is everything worth it to me." Yue Ling whispered softly, playing the role of an understanding little girl. White flower image.

But she thought in her heart: If you are happy, your happiness has nothing to do with me, so why should I fulfill you?dream!I'm not happy, Lu Mingshan, you have to stay with me.Who made you my lover, who made you love me too, and be sorry for me?
At this time, Shen Yan was pulling Liu Ling to a house, closed the door, and asked her coldly, "What are you doing? Did I recruit you?"

"You didn't recruit me," Liu Ling said flatly, "I'm bored by myself, so I'll find something for you."

"..." Shen Yan understood her undisguised irony, and directly frowned impatiently, "Say what you have to say, and stop playing charades with me. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Shen Yan is like a sword in the dark, and his emotions are the edge of the sword.When he points directly at you, it is murderous and makes you terrified instantly.Now, this sword is facing Liu Ling.

He put his hands on her head, as if she was about to strike if she didn't answer well.Shen Yan looks very dangerous, who knows if he will get angry or hit a woman?

Liu Ling was not afraid of him, his air-conditioning could make an adult's legs tremble with fright, but it couldn't make his little lover raise his eyes.From beginning to end, Liu Ling was just like you, she was pinned down on the door by him, her bun was a little loose, and her broken hair was stuck to her snowy cheeks, she laughed, "You are so straightforward now, why didn't you see you last night?" Go straight in with a long knife?"

For a long time, she heard a low laugh above her head.

He raised his eyes angrily, his forehead hair was pressed down by Shen Yan.

She heard Shen Yan's flat and cold words, "I stabbed straight in last night, how can you be as straightforward as you are today?"

"..." Liu Ling was choked by his words.She cast a cold glance at Shen Yan out of the corner of her eye, and met Shen Yan's ambiguous smile.

She cursed calmly, "Men Sao."

"Oh, you are only allowed to tease me, and I am not allowed to fight back?" Shen Yan said softly.

"I mean, what's the use of talking about it all the time, but doing something about it."

Shen Yan looked at her deeply, at this brave and fearless girl.His face was motionless, and his heart was a little cold.He understood what Liu Ling meant, she wanted to have a crazy love with him that would forget everything and ignore everything, she didn't care about destroying fatality, she just wanted to have a good time.

She wants to sleep with him now.

Didn't care if he married her or not.

In other words, if he doesn't marry her, she will feel relieved - she hates getting involved with people.

Shen Yan thought: the girl he likes is so rotten in her bones.She is so rotten, is it worth it for him to be a holy father and take her out?
It's very boring to entangle with Liu Ling, Shen Yan didn't want to talk to her anymore, turned around and left.

The person beside him suddenly called out, and he instinctively stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms.Shen Yan looked at the girl in her arms speechlessly, and heard Liu Ling calmly say, "I almost fell down just now, thank you Master Shen for your help."

Shen Yan looked at her with nothing to say, he hadn't taken a step yet, and she was still standing firmly, what kind of throwing method was needed to make her make such a terrified cry?She was just teasing him knowingly again.

Shen Yan smiled slightly, raised her chin in Liu Ling's confusion, and ordered, "Come on, have a smile."

"..." Liu Ling was slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

The eyes are still so cold, but the face is as delicate as spring flowers.But her eyes are beautiful and clear, and the hidden soul wraps itself, revealing the softest warmth from time to time.The unity of these two contradictory styles in one person is not only not strange, but also has a strong charm, which leads people to fall.

Shen Yan's heart was as soft as cotton candy, and she stopped blaming her instantly.Liu Ling who is willing to smile to him is different from others.Just because of her smile, because of her obedience, he also wants to try.He was sure again that he liked Liu Ling very much, she was hypocritical and tough, thick-skinned and fragile.Even if she is the best, he is willing to try to walk with her.

"Master Shen, you haven't answered my question yet," Liu Ling reacted and pushed him, "Why don't you go to the end every time?"

Every time!

Love to the depths, reasonable.

Shen Yan just kissed and hugged, and there was no follow-up.The first time, she thought Master Shen was shy, okay, forgive me; the second time, Master Shen didn't have a fiancée, so he must be unskilled and afraid of embarrassment, okay, forgive me again; the third time, he even touched her She got caught in her little clothes, but still didn't take the next step... Excuse me!

Liu Ling couldn't understand Shen Yan's arrogance - shouldn't all men be anxious?Isn't it the dream of all men in the world to be able to have sex without marriage?
Shen Yan raised his forehead, Liu Ling was really persistent.After so much gossip, and the topic has been dragged so far, she still has to bring it back.He looked at her, and after a while, under Liu Ling's bright eyes, he said slowly, "Do you want to hear the one with embellishments, or the one without embellishments?"

"..." Does this make any difference? "How about embellishments?"

"I love you in my heart, and I don't want to have sex with you in the wild without a matchmaker, and ruin your reputation."

"I don't care about that! Oh Master Shen, don't stare at me, I was wrong... so what if you don't modify it?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"..." Liu Ling stared blankly at him for a moment, and after a long time, she finally came back to her senses, jumped out of his arms indifferently, and said coldly, "Dirty."

She heard Shen Yan's low laugh behind her again.

Liu Ling looked back at him, Shen Yan's expression was so indifferent, she couldn't tell for a moment whether what he just said was true or not, was he teasing her, or was he telling the truth?

Liu Ling felt hot from the roots of her ears, and didn't want to bother Lord Shen with such questions for the time being.I also dare not disturb others when they are dealing with business.Princess Changle is so obedient and obedient, and the maids all sighed: Sure enough, only Mr. Shen can rule the princess!Mr. Shen didn't show up again, so he just said a few words to the princess, and the princess didn't make any trouble anymore.

Except that Yue Ling took the initiative to come to the door, claiming to apologize to the princess, saying that she was sorry for the princess.

Liu Ling annoyed her so much, she couldn't understand why Yue Ling was pestering her when Lu Mingshan was already here?
She ignored Yue Ling at all. Since Yue Lingfei felt sorry for her and wanted to come to her to seek abuse, Liu Ling ordered the maid to bring Miss Yue and continue to do servant work, as long as she didn't dangle in front of her. .Seeing Yue Ling suffering for the first time, Lu Mingshan couldn't accept it, and wanted to talk to Liu Ling, but was persuaded by Yue Ling.

Yue Ling looked pitiful, "Brother Ming, it's me and you who are sorry for the princess. If I am wronged a little, the princess can forgive you, then I will do anything."

Lu Mingshan was really moved.He thinks highly of love, but at the same time looks down on love, and his IQ is infinitely lowered in this respect, but he doesn't feel it.He only treated Yue Ling better day by day, and in the process of flattering Liu Ling, he found that Liu Ling had gone too far, and he was about to be unable to keep up.

But she was the fiancée the Lu family had decided upon, and he was reluctant to let her go.

Especially when Liu Ling shamelessly chased after Mr. Shen every time, Lu Mingshan would get annoyed just by looking at him.Lu Mingshan never knew that Liu Ling's pursuit of someone was such a persistent thing.No, maybe he shouldn't be in such a hurry.Liu Ling is paranoid by nature, the more he persuades her, the more he will push her towards Shen Yan.On the contrary, if he was indifferent, Liu Ling might find it boring and chill his mind.

Lu Mingshan hoped that Liu Ling was just a passing interest.After all, he has something to ask Shen Yan now, and before he officially speaks, he doesn't want to offend Shen Yan too much—those assassins, others guessed that they belong to his Lu family, Lu Ming said at the pass, "Master Shen must have misunderstood", but he knew in his heart, that way Other than the Lu family, there is no semicolon in the martial arts routines.

Then something small happened.

In order to win Lu Mingshan's favor, Yue Ling worked as a servant to the princess all day long, playing the role of a pitiful little bully.Maybe it was because she really went too deep into the role, and in the process of working hard, a little accident happened.When I went to pound rice with the maid in the evening, my mind was in a trance, my feet went limp for a while, and I fell into the river.

When Lu Mingshan came back with the wet pale girl in his arms, he shocked everyone.

After all, it happened with Liu Ling's maids. The maids called back to the princess when they came back, and they didn't look too nervous-they knew that as long as they didn't go too far, the princess would protect them unconditionally.What's more, in this accident, they didn't even touch Miss Yue, let alone say a word to Miss Yue.It is very easy for the county chief to pick them out.

Liu Ling was driven back by Shen Yan just now, she had a sip of tea, and when the maid said that Liu Ling fell into the water, she didn't feel anything at all.With an indifferent "Oh" to show that she understood, Liu Ling continued to blow the hot tea in her hand, and under the staring eyes of the maid, she whispered, "I'm shocked".

"..." Lingbi rushed to report, "Princess, Mr. Lu said that Lingyin and the others had caused Miss Yue to fall into the river, so he wanted to tie them up and take them to Miss Yue's bed to confess their sins."

"He dares!" Liu Ling slapped the desk, and the teacups and cups on the table were overturned by her slap.When she looked up, she saw that Shen Yan was being led in by Lingxi, just in time to see her losing her temper.

Liu Ling reflected on whether she was too fierce?Her impression on Mr. Shen's side is probably not very good. If she continues to be ruined like this, Mr. Shen may not want her anymore...

Liu Ling said in a slightly warm voice, "There is no need for him to tie up my maid, the princess will personally apologize to Miss Yue."

But where is her posture to "make an apology"?It is estimated that it is almost the same as watching a play and quarreling.

When they reached the door, Liu Ling signaled Shen Yan to make way, but Shen Yan remained motionless.Liu Ling's bad temper was instantly ignited, and she raised her head to meet Shen Yan's deep black eyes.She became even more angry in an instant, "What are you doing? Do I need your permission to drop by?"

"Don't make trouble." Shen Yan warned her.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ling shook off his hand vigorously and sneered in return.

"Yue Ling is sick, so you are going to prepare to get over the illness and take her place in bed?"

"..." Liu Ling was stunned, and stared at Shen Yan for a long time, but the other party was still so upright and cold.It turned out that she was thinking too much and misunderstood him.That's right, Shen Yan had very little sympathy.

She smiled and looked down at her attire.Because she had just come back from the outside, Shen Yan had made it clear that she would not be on the road today. After Liu Ling came back, she washed up, made a pot of tea and took a book, and was ready to go to bed.Her current white silk clothes are thin and casual, but they are not at the level of being overly sick.

Liu Ling asked quietly, "Then what should I do?"

"I go with you."

"...!" Liu Ling was slightly startled, her eyes constricted.She knew that at Lu Mingshan's stage, Shen Yan didn't like to appear in pairs with her.He almost always avoided her.The reason is not difficult to guess, Shen Yan does not want to leave the opportunity for others to make irresponsible remarks.But his hard work was completely ruined by Liu Ling's shamelessness.Under such a premise, it was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Shen Yan to agree to go there with her.

When going out, Liu Ling tilted her head and looked at Mr. Shen next to her.The maid led the way, and when she was unprepared, she reached out to touch Lord Shen's waist, and Shen Yan vigilantly grabbed her wrist.

Shen Yan gazed patiently: Can you be more reserved? !Be normal? !
Liu Ling asked, "Master Shen walked with me, because he loves me and is afraid that I will be bullied?"

"I'm afraid that you bully others too much." Shen Yan said coldly.

Liu Ling hummed, and strode past him, wearing a long dress with a slender waist.The hem of the clothes flutters, and the fragrance is full.In Shen Yan's place, Liu Ling has long been used to listening to his words backwards.

"Mr. Lu, congratulations! This... madam is fine, but since she is three months pregnant, she should take good care of her. How can she keep doing those rough jobs?" The doctor followed Lu Ming Shan, consciously knew the relationship between Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling, and after checking out his illness, he added the title of "Madam" on Yue Ling's head on his own initiative, hoping that Mr. Lu would be happier.

But when he looked up, why did Mr. Lu have such a strange expression?
"Three months pregnant?" Hearing the voice behind him, Lu Mingshan turned around and saw Shen Yan and Liu Ling.Usually when he sees these two appearing at the same time, he always feels uncomfortable.But now that his mind is in a mess, he has no time to deal with it.Listening to Liu Ling sighing, both real and fake, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, I don't know when I can drink the wedding wine for you two? It's just that Miss Yue is pregnant, why is she still running around? Careless? Oh, maybe she is so naive that she doesn't even know she has a body."

"A Ling," Lu Mingshan took a deep breath, and said lazily, "If you have anything to say between you and me, you can speak directly. You don't have to be so sarcastic."

"What's the relationship between you and me? Even if we were once a fiancée, and now your new wife is pregnant, you don't care what I like to talk about?" Liu Ling frowned, "You are amazing, you, Miss Yue, are also It’s amazing. I wish you all the best of luck.”

What Liu Ling left behind was still filled with deep malice, intentional or unintentional, as if reminding him of something.Lu Mingshan asked everyone to go out, and sat in front of the bed blankly, looking at the girl on the bed who was as white as moonlight, so unreal.He knew that he shouldn't doubt Yue Ling, but he couldn't help thinking along with Liu Ling's words...

——Lu Mingshan, Miss Yue, you are amazing.

She was three months pregnant, but she kept it from everyone and was unknown.

What does she want to do by staying by Liu Ling's side?
What did she do?
By the way, she and Liu Ling's maids competed to do the servant's work, she made herself miserable and tired, she...

What is she going to do?
That terrible answer was about to come out, but Lu Mingshan didn't dare to think about it.How could the girl he loves, the girl he misses so much that he dare not forget, be in such a terrible way?Liu Ling must have deliberately misled him...

"Brother Ming." Hearing the thin voice, Lu Mingshan saw that Yue Ling was already awake on the bed, struggling to sit up.

He stretched out his hand to support her, holding her slender wrist.Her wrists are so slender, and her complexion is so dry... Lu Mingshan shuddered, forgetting his previous doubts, sister Ling was hurt so much by him, how could he bear not to believe her again?

He forcefully said, "Sister Ling, do you know that you are pregnant for three months."

Although he said he would not doubt it, he couldn't help observing Yue Ling's expression.

Yue Ling's expression was so sincere that there was no trace of camouflage. She was startled, stretched out her hand to stroke her flat belly, and said with a half cry, "You said I'm pregnant?"

"Correct."

There was a moment of silence between the two, and no one wanted to break it.This is not the expression that a pair of first-time parents should have at all.

"Sister Ling, you..."

"Brother Ming, that child is not yours, I know." Yue Ling said softly, "It belonged to my late husband. He died suddenly, and I was pregnant too suddenly. But I don't want to kill this child. He is my late husband's The only proof in the world. Brother Ming, in a few days, you can send me back to Huai’an. I want to go back to my home, give birth to the child quietly, and raise him.”

"...I didn't know you were pregnant, otherwise..." Otherwise, he wouldn't plan to make her a concubine.

Lu Mingshan was a little confused: a year ago, he met Yue Ling again.Yue Ling is married and lives happily with her husband.The only flaw is that her husband is blind and cannot appreciate her beauty.

Lu Mingshan took care of the couple from time to time.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changle was furious when she found out about this, and asked him to leave his old lover alone.

But how could Lu Mingshan really ignore it?

Three months ago, Yue Ling went to Yejing to look for him—she said that her husband was dead, and if she went back to her mother's house, her parents would torture her and remarry her to the old man. She hoped that Lu Mingshan could take her in.The word "again" cut Lu Mingshan's heart like a knife.

Consciously or unintentionally, Yue Ling rekindled Lu Mingshan's pity and love for her. He didn't want her to suffer any more, so he decided to keep her by his side.

Yue Ling doesn't mind being a concubine - what does she care about?She is already like this, what else can't she see?
Unacceptable, of course, is the Lu family.How could it be acceptable for a well-trained junior to make such a lowly mistake for the sake of a woman?
But Lu Mingshan was determined to protect Yue Ling.All these years, he has followed his elders wholeheartedly, but this matter is the only thing he is so stubborn about.

But he was determined to keep Yue Ling by his side, why did Yue Ling get pregnant?Lu Mingshan was in a state of confusion, thinking that Yue Ling was pregnant with someone else's child, he still couldn't say the words "I'll take care of your mother and child".

And this was as early as Yue Ling expected.

She gave him the answer: I don't want you to support me, so send us away.

"Sister Ling, I'm sorry..." Lu Mingshan held her hand, not daring to look up at her.

Yue Ling smiled, but her eyes were red, "It's okay, anyway, you have wronged me a lot, and this one is not bad. You will always owe me your whole life."

Lu Mingshan, oh Lu Mingshan, you owe me this life, if you don't settle it, how can I open my eyes and live in the next life?

How much I suffered because of your abandonment back then!If it wasn't for you, how could my husband have died, how could I have the heart to go through mountains and rivers to come to the Princess's side to wrong myself with my three-month pregnancy? !
After Lu Mingshan left, Yue Ling got out of bed, went to find a small green undergarment from her baggage, cut it with scissors from the double seam, and took out a purse.Cut the purse open, revealing a kit.She held her breath and felt that there was no one around, so she opened the kit carefully.Ms. Xu's beautiful handwriting flowed out, to the effect that:
"You took out this kit, it should be that you have no choice but to end the matter of marrying your child to Mr. Lu. This child has become your burden, it doesn't matter, we will get rid of him."

Do not!
Yue Ling's heart trembled and he screamed frantically.

"In order to return to Lu Mingshan, you even dared to kill your husband. What is a child? Why bother to be hypocritical."

Do not!
Yue Ling's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, really wanting to throw the bag away.

"Bringing the child's death to A Ling is enough to break Lu Mingshan and A Ling. I only want A Ling and Lu Mingshan to break off completely, but I don't want you to hurt A Ling. You know what to do. A Ling herself cannot be stimulated by you , otherwise, I won't think of a way for you again."

Yue Ling trembled all over, and threw the kit into the candlelight.Her bright eyes shone with a ghostly light, watching it being burned away bit by bit.

At the same time, she was burning away her kindness bit by bit.

She loved Lu Mingshan deeply, and because of this crazy and hateful love, she turned herself into a devil, and her appearance changed beyond recognition.

But what does that matter?
As long as Lu Mingshan loves her, she can live a lifetime wearing a mask.

Anyway, she has obeyed Ms. Xu's arrangement and agreed to Ms. Xu to be her internal assistant in the Lu family.

Yue Ling and Lu Mingshan were the ones who were most affected by Yue Ling's pregnancy.Liu Ling's mood is not necessarily good either.She had never investigated Lu Mingshan, and of course she had not investigated Yue Ling either.What she knew about Yue Ling was all told by Xu Shijin in the letter.

So, she thought that that child belonged to Lu Mingshan.

A year ago, Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling met again.

Yue Ling is now three months pregnant.

And Lu Mingshan actually wanted Liu Ling to change his mind!
How ridiculous it all is.

Liu Ling was upset and went for a walk by the river.She even dismissed the maid from afar, but she couldn't dismiss Mr. Shen in the same way as the servants.

The setting sun falls from the distant peak, and the sky, earth, mountains and rivers are in the air.The wind shuttles across the open water, causing reeds to ripple, egrets to fly, and yellow halos to rise and fall.

Standing by the river, the blue-white fog was floating, there were no lights here, only the stars in the night sky, and the sound of wow accompanied them.

"I'm going to step on the water." Fearing that Shen Yan might misunderstand, Liu Ling turned her head and said to Shen Yan.Then remove the socks, raise the dress, and Liu Ling walks into the water.The water was bitingly cool, but it made her feel comfortable.

Liu Ling stood in the shallow water, stunned for a long time: her mother died by drowning.What kind of sense of security does this piece of water give people, leading people to walk step by step?

Liu Ling walked forward, the water covered her knees, submerged her calves, and her skirt was wet.The water is so cold, it's so cold to the bones, it makes you feel comfortable.

The moon is rising, the sun is setting, the beautiful girl is standing in the water, and the affectionate lover is watching her from the shore.

Liu Ling seemed to see the splendid vermilion main entrance, covered with lanterns.If you look closely, there are white paper lanterns hanging, symbolizing the dead.

She wanted to see clearly, but suddenly there was a strong grab on her wrist from behind.

Liu Ling was annoyed, and struggled for a long time, but couldn't break free.

Liu Ling squinted at Chen Yan, and suddenly realized, she burst into laughter, "Why are you following me all the time? Are you afraid that I won't be able to think about jumping into the river?" Before Shen Yan could answer, she had already rushed to hug the man's waist, and said with a sigh, "Shen Yan Yan, you are so kind to me...I really like you!"

"Princess, I'm not worried about you jumping into the river. But if you don't let go, I will kick you into the river." When the girl rushed over, she deliberately raised and pushed her hands, and the water not only wet Shen Yan's clothes, but also splashed. On Shen Yan's face.How can Shen Yan not grit his teeth?
"...Master Shen, you are so ruthless," Liu Ling lowered her head and laughed silently as the misty water vapor enveloped the two of them, "Master Shen, speaking of it, I have never heard you call me by my name. Why don't you call me by my name?" ? Do you think my name is ugly?"

She was joking, but who would have expected Shen Yan to say, "Almost."

"...I don't believe it!" Liu Ling was angry, but couldn't help doubting, "...do you know my name?"

"do not know."

He answered so simply!

"..." But Lu Mingshan called me so many times and you actually told me that you don't know my name!Are you deaf? !

"A Ling" "A Ling", Lu Mingshan called her that every day.She has a national surname, so is her name so hard to guess?
Liu Ling thought so, and said so.

Who knew that Shen Yan's eyes darkened for a moment, and her face sank all of a sudden. She looked at her quietly, "Lu Mingshan...why do I want to know what he calls you?! What does it have to do with me!"
