Chapter 169
Mei Ruotian didn't think about this kind of question at all, how could she possibly be able to answer it, let alone that Ling Ruyin would think of so much?How light is it?Which is heavier?what is this?
"Ruyin, what are you thinking?"

"Isn't it? Ask yourself, if not, why have you been doing this for her for so many days? How worried and haggard you look, you can't see it yourself, anyone with eyes can see it."

Ling Ruyin's voice turned into a weak cry, and a drop of warm tears fell on the back of his hand.

Mei Ruotian was completely dumbfounded, she... cried?
"Oh, don't cry." He really had a headache, he couldn't stand girls crying, but she cried very frequently recently, just like the last time he and Sima Qing came back from the palace, she was talking and talking I cried too, this time it was again... Sigh, why is a woman's mind so complicated and sensitive?

His feelings for Sima Qing are actually not like that...

He stretched out his hand to grab her hand wrapped around his neck, broke it, pulled her whole body, squatted halfway in front of him, clamped his legs slightly to prevent her from moving, and then lifted her up with both hands. chin and let her look into her eyes.

Her pair of red phoenix eyes were filled with tears at this moment, shining with a radiant light, which made people look extremely distressed.

"Hey, what should I do with you?" Mei Ruotian sighed helplessly.

"You like me, right?" As she spoke, a teardrop rolled down her fair and smooth cheek again.

"Why do you always ask this kind of question?" Mei Ruotian reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, "Isn't this answer already confirmed in Sacred Heart Valley? If I don't like you, why would I want to make an appointment with you?" Honey, how could I bring you home?"

"I know, I know...but sometimes I can't help but think, is it because of my identity? It's just because...I'm your master's daughter, and it's your unshirkable responsibility ?”

"So you have always cared about this? I can only say that the two are interdependent and not contradictory. You have to think this way. If it weren't for my master, that is, your father, I wouldn't know you, and you wouldn't know me." You don’t know me, do you?” Mei Ruotian said patiently and softly, as if she was talking to her, and she was also talking to herself, “I think, this is what people say about fate, right? Yin’er, I, You know, no fun, no sweet talk, maybe it makes you feel, I don't care about you, I don't like you, but you really have to believe me, I have never done anything to sorry for you. Heaven My master, you have been watching us, you have been giving so wholeheartedly for me, if I betray you, the master will not agree, and I am also a presumptuous person."

Ling Ruyin's tears came out again, but this time, there was a smile on her face.

"Is what you said true?"

"You think I'm dishonest?"

"No, no... Hehe, I... I know that I have been a little vexatious recently, but it's all because I care too much about you. I'm sorry, it made you hate me, right?"

"Fool, just talk about it."

"Then, can I ask you a question?"

"Ah, you don't want to ask your little junior sister again, do you?"

"Oh no... But it's okay if you want to say it..."

"Yin'er, let me tell you seriously, that girl Qing'er and I really have nothing to do, she is in my heart, indeed, indeed..."

"Really what?" Ling Ruyin stared at him nervously.

"Indeed, it's very important." Mei Ruotian's expression was a little tangled, but also a little gentle.

Ling Ruyin's heart ached, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, just about to say something, she heard him continue...

"But it's not what you think. She has a special place for me." He knows her biggest secret, and he can talk to her about anything. She has the same hobbies as her, and she She is the most special woman she has ever met. Isn't this enough to make her occupy a special and important place in my heart?

Sima Qing is a special existence to Mei Ruotian, but he thought, isn't that kind of existence?

"I can't tell you what that special is. If you want to believe me, you can believe me. If you don't want to..." Mei Ruotian didn't know how to explain it.

The candlelight vaguely reflected the outlines of two people, one lowered his head, the other slightly raised his head and looked at the beams. He didn't know what he was thinking, and the air was so quiet that it was a little suffocating.

The candle on the table exploded with a "pop", which was very loud in the silent room.

"Am I willing to marry me?" Suddenly Ling Ruyin raised her head and asked him with sad eyes.

"Huh? You mean..." Mei Ruotian didn't expect her to mention this.

"Marry me, we were going to be husband and wife two months ago, weren't we?" Ling Ruyin finally said these words with the last of her face and strength, "You know, because I didn't have a father since I was a child, I watched Like my mother, she has been resenting my father for so many years, but she misses him very much. It is false to say that I have no resentment towards men and feelings. Before I met you, I did not trust any man, let alone Believe in myself, I am afraid of repeating my mother's mistakes, becoming an abandoned and forgotten person who will spend the rest of my life in tears..."

"Yin'er, stop talking!" Mei Ruotian is a soft-hearted person, but she is not someone who will be moved by a woman's tenderness or some sad and pitiful words. Women are gone.But tonight he was facing Ling Ruyin who looked like a fairy, his "fiancée" who tried her best.Master is his greatest weakness and her greatest weapon, so these words really hit his heart deeply.

He understands what she wants to express, and he actually understands that she said these words on purpose, but what can he do?He didn't have any reason to blame or say that she shouldn't be wrong. On the contrary, he still felt sorry for her.If he doesn't cherish such a woman, what will she do?
Seeing him being silent, Ling Ruyin's heart sank by half, she has already reached this point, isn't it okay?Can't you still impress him?Is it so difficult for him to marry her?
"I'm sorry, I, I shouldn't force you, this kind of thing really can't be forced, really, you just pretend that I haven't said anything, please don't take it to heart." Ling Ruyin broke free from him, and stood slowly while talking stand up.

At the same time as her hands were hanging down, the sleeves seemed to be rubbed off inadvertently, and a green gold double-ring jade bracelet was exposed from her bright wrist. The jade bracelet, which was already beautiful, became even more attractive after being worn by her for a few months. Glossy.

Seeing this bracelet, Mei Ruotian was in a daze.

He remembered the first time she saw this jade bracelet on the covered bridge in the Sacred Heart Valley. Those beautiful and elegant eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist, accumulating a mist, and then crystal clear. The liquid dripped out of it, crying that he recognized it, crying that he would no longer have half a relative in this world...

He remembered his master's entrustment before he died, he remembered the fruitless search for half a year, he remembered that day when he hugged her in his arms and promised to take care of her for the rest of his life instead of the dead master...

"Get married, let's get married!" Mei Ruotian held her hand, preventing her from turning around and leaving.

Ling Ruyin turned around and looked at him with surprise and expectation: "Really?"

Mei Ruotian nodded and smiled: "Why do you doubt me again? I have never lied to you, have I?"

"I was wrong, I believe you!" Ling Ruyin took his hand and shook it, with a kind of beauty that burst into tears, "Then, when?"

Mei Ruotian thought for a while, and said: "Your master should be here in two days, right? And you know why he came this time, alas, I'm still worried about how to explain to him. I lost it... Could it be that we can get married in this situation?"

Ling Ruyin frowned, and said understandingly: "You're right, I didn't think carefully. The life and death of the junior sister is still uncertain, how can we... You see, as a senior sister, I am so selfish! It really deserves a fight!" After saying that, he really wanted to greet his own face with his hand.

"Okay, I can't blame you." Mei Ruotian pressed her hand and said helplessly, "We all have to think on the bright side. Girl Qing'er will definitely be fine."

"Yeah, yes! Otherwise, tomorrow, I'll take Chunxi to Ganlu Temple to offer incense, right? Let's go pray to the Bodhisattva, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the little junior sister." Ling Ruyin suggested.

Originally, I wanted to say that it was useless to do so, but after thinking about it, if she wanted to go, let her go.First, let's go out to relax and change his mood, so as not to spend the whole day at home with nothing to do, thinking wildly, and toss a few times like tonight, and he will completely collapse; second, let her take Chunxi to go outside to relax Well, Chunxi has been crying every day for the past few days, and she is so pitiful. If this continues, her young lady has not been found yet, and she can't hold it anymore; three times... Although he doesn't believe in Bodhisattvas very much , but it is also good to beg and pray sincerely, so that nothing will happen to that dead girl of the Bodhisattva, and she will come back safely and completely.

"Go, tomorrow I'll let Xiao Jin and the others get into a carriage and escort you there."

Hearing Mei Ruotian's consent, Ling Ruyin nodded and smiled meekly.

"Then go back and rest. It's all my fault. I know you're tired and still like this."

"Hehe, it's okay. I'm a little tired. It's better than you being sad all the time."

"Well, thank you."

"Good night."

……

On the second day, everything returned to normal.

Ling Ruyin took Chunxi and a few maids from the mansion to Ganlu Temple to burn incense and pray for Sima Qing, while Mei Ruotian still went out early to get busy.

The only difference is that everyone feels that Miss Ling is much brighter. Although she is still demure and calm, there is less sadness and gloom on her face.

According to reliable information from Xiu'er's servant girl who had the opportunity to get close to the gossip scene last night, she said that Miss Ling had served the young master for dinner last night, and the two had talked for a long time. Showdown with the young master and say that if he doesn't make a statement, she will have no reason to stay in the mansion and go back to Sacred Heart Valley!In the end, the young master became very anxious when he heard it, and then he revealed his heart to Miss Ling... It seems that a good thing is about to happen!
Of course, not all the maids in the mansion are biased towards Ling Ruyin, there are also people who have been watching Sima Qing and her young master have tricks, some of them complained about Sima Qing, some expressed doubts, and finally the maids in the mansion were divided into two factions, fighting Talked loudly:
"Really? Xiu'er didn't see it with her own eyes. I don't believe our young master would do this."

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, Xiu'er was there all the time, and later she secretly listened outside the house for a while."

"If this really happened, Miss Qing'er's life and death are still uncertain. Isn't it too much for Miss Ling to hook up with the young master like this?"

"How do you talk? How can this be called hooking up? It's obviously called mutual love!"

"What kind of mutual affection? I always thought it was Miss Ling's unrequited love. You can tell from our young master's attitude towards her so lightly!"

"What's the matter? Is that called respecting each other like a guest? It's impossible for the young master and Miss Qing'er. They are like enemies. They fight as soon as they meet. What kind of relationship can there be?"

"Have you heard of Huanxi? Hey, anyway, every time I see the young master smiling at Miss Qing'er, I smile so happily. That kind of smile is like the sun in the sky, and it warms my heart."

"Xiaocui, I think you like the young master, right? It's useless, how can the young master fall in love with you? Miss Ling is as beautiful as a fairy, she has a good temper and is capable. It is a great blessing for the young master to marry someone. !"

"You can't say that, isn't our family all Pianpianjia? The title of the most beautiful jade doctor in Wangcheng is not for nothing! Besides, how can Miss Qing'er be inferior to Miss Ling? In terms of beauty or temper It's her ability, I think, it's because she is slightly better, so I support her to be with the young master!"

"Yoyo, you must have all been bought by Qing'er's girl's delicious food, right? How could you say such a thing? It's clearly Luohua's intention to be ruthless, so stop fooling around."

"It's as if you've never eaten Miss Qing'er's food, and you haven't received her gift? Poor Miss Qing'er fed a few white-eyed wolves. She doesn't know where she is now, and you've already started talking about her behind her back." It's bad, isn't it?"

"You can eat but not talk nonsense. Which ear of yours has heard us say anything bad about Miss Qing'er? We also like her very much, but now we are not talking about whether we like her or not, but about her." It's a question of whether the young master likes it or not!"

"That's right, Miss Qing'er is very good, but Miss Ling is more suitable to be the mistress of our Mei Mansion. And are you all blind? Ever since the two of them entered the mansion at the same time, Miss Ling has been the mistress Her imposing manner, Miss Qing'er, she just feels like a guest... Isn't it clear at a glance who the young master likes and who he wants to marry?"

"Anyway, in Miss Qing'er's situation, it's wrong for Miss Ling to force the young master to get married. After all, she's also a sister from the same school. How can she do that?"

"Where does it say that we are going to get married soon? Isn't it still decided? You must confirm the news of Miss Qing'er before you can arrange the marriage! No, let's see if Miss Ling has no conscience. Didn't she take Chunxi here on purpose today? Have you paid homage to Ganlu Temple? Isn’t that kind enough?”

"

……

In the absence of Ling Ruyin, Mei Ruotian and Sima Qing, the maids in the mansion also became a mess.But even if they were fighting with each other, they didn't reach the point where they were confrontational.

Finally, the two passing mothers overheard them and gave them a lesson with a feather duster before the monkey children screamed to go to work.

They have all been warned, in the situation of Ling Ruyin and Mei Ruotian in the mansion, such gossip about the master is absolutely not allowed, otherwise they will be punished with salary, and even kicked out of the mansion!
Under the coercion of the two mothers, the maids naturally no longer dared to talk nonsense, so the next three days went on as usual, neither Ling Ruyin nor Mei Ruotian heard any gossip about them.

On the tenth day after Sima Qing's disappearance, Mr. Sima Yinglong arrived. He brought a few of his apprentices in a hurry, and came to question Mei Ruotian Xingshi.

Knowing that Sima Yinglong would arrive on this day, Mei Ruotian dared not leave the house all day, for fear that the old man would not be able to find her when he came.In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that Xingshi asked the teacher for his crimes. He understood Sima Yinglong's character, and he was not the kind of domineering and unreasonable person. Although he might be a little angry and sad, he would never make things difficult for him.On the contrary, he hoped that the old man could get angry with him or something, so as to alleviate his "guilt" and the old man's uncomfortable feeling.

Although he really didn't lose that girl... In theory, he can not be "responsible".

At noon, a carriage and a horse finally stopped in front of Meifu.

Mei Ruotian immediately took Ling Ruyin out after receiving the notification from the old housekeeper.

Standing at the front of the carriage at the gate of Mei Mansion was an old man with a fluttering silver beard and white hair. He had a wrinkled face, he was silent, and his eagle eyes showed a bit of anger. Wei's sharpness.He is still dressed in a Gebu gown, white and clean, and his aura exudes the smell of idle clouds and wild cranes, which makes people want to get close but dare not get close.

Behind him was a girl wearing an apricot-yellow jacket embroidered with branches and flowers and a lake-green skirt. Her hair was tied in a simple Japanese bun, and she only had a lavender pearl flower on her temples.Her skin is slightly dark, and her eyebrows are considered pretty, but her whole face is serious and cold, and she exudes a feeling of "don't get close to strangers".

And then behind her, there is another girl.The girl was a little shorter than the previous one, but her temperament was completely different. She wore a water-blue pleated skirt embroidered with white lotus flowers. She wore a spring bun on her head and a white jade peacock hairpin. A white jade fan-shaped comb hangs down a short row of purple tassels.She has a sharp melon-shaped face, bright eyes and white teeth, eyebrows like distant daisy, and a smile on her face, which looks charming and playful.
