slave like jade

Chapter 194
Yue Yu originally wanted to introduce Mu Lingzhi to Yu Ruyan, but Yue Yu didn't know what to say to such a simple introduction...

In the end, he had no choice but to say: "He is someone you knew before, his name is Mu Lingzhi. I heard that you are here, so I came to see you!"

Hearing Yue Yu's words, Yu Ruyan completely dispelled her worries about Mu Lingzhi.Although I don't like this somewhat reckless man in my heart, but when I think that he knows my previous acquaintances, I can't help but smile at Mu Lingzhi, and said: "Brother Mu actually knew me before? Great, how about that?" Brother Mu, please tell me about the past..."

Seeing her eager to know, Yue Yu hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu has just come from a long distance, and he hasn't eaten yet. Let him rest for a while, eat something and then talk to you."

Yu Ruyan wanted to say something, but was coaxed into the room by Yue Yu: "It's time for you to take the medicine, you want to see things earlier, but you have to drink the medicine on time..."

Yue Yu dragged Yu Ruyan into the house to drink medicine, but Mu Lingzhi didn't leave, but followed behind foolishly, standing at the door in a daze, but didn't go in again...

Taking advantage of the time when Yu Ruyan drank the medicine and fell asleep, Yue Yu and Mu Lingzhi came to the private room outside the inn.

As soon as she was seated, Mu Lingzhi asked anxiously, "Brother, what happened to her? Why...why did she lose her memory?"

Yue Yu sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, she followed me and left, crying uncontrollably as soon as she got into the carriage... Later, I saw that she was crying so pitifully, so I lighted the soothing incense and let her sleep But unexpectedly, she developed a high fever without warning, and when she got off the carriage, her head hit the wheel again... She was in a coma for three days before waking up. Unfortunately, when she woke up, she forgot all the past and lost her memory... "

Hearing Yue Yu's words, Mu Lingzhi was suffocated with a headache——

He knew that compared to her hurting himself by saying those cruel words, she was actually the saddest!
His lips trembled slightly, he looked at Yue Yu anxiously, and begged: "Brother, is her amnesia caused by a high fever, or is it caused by knocking her head... Can her amnesia be cured?"

Yue Yu frowned and remained silent, also anxious in his heart, and said powerlessly: "Actually, I didn't find out whether her amnesia was caused by a high fever, or because she hit her head, or...she was in too much pain, and couldn't help but I want to forget all this..."

Yue Yu's words hurt Mu Lingzhi even more, but he couldn't say a word, and drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.

Mu Lingzhi's heart is bitter, and Yue Yu's heart is also bitter.He sighed heavily, remembering that when Yu Ruyan woke up later, he would be eager to ask Mu Lingzhi about her previous affairs, and he couldn't help telling: "When she first lost her memory, thinking about how painful she was before, I thought about it for a while. So, maybe it’s good for her to just forget about the past and live a carefree life... So, when she asked me who she was, I didn’t tell her, but said that she was picked up by me from the side of the road. Returning patients..."

"Later, every time I went down the mountain, she would ask me to help her find out her life experience, for fear that her relatives would look for her... Although she always looks happy in Zhuangzi, I know that in Deep down in her heart, she has been searching for her previous memories, so..."

The words stopped, and Yue Yu's clear eyes fixedly looked at Mu Lingzhi who was facing him with a panicked face, and said word by word: "So, let her continue to live like this forgetting everything, or tell her everything before, help She recovers her memory - it all depends on how you decide!"

From the moment Yue Yu was willing to take the initiative to tell him about Yu Ruyan, Mu Lingzhi already knew that he was willing to send Yu Ruyan back to his side.

Hearing what he said now, a warm current surged in Mu Lingzhi's heart. He didn't know how he would repay the kindness he owed Yue Yu in this life! ?
He concentrated on Yue Yu's words.After a long time, he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I want to take her away."

When he said this, his eyes were firm, and his tone was even more unquestionable.

"The previous pains and sufferings have passed, and now there is no obstacle between me and her. I think her real happiness is not to live ignorantly, but to see the hope of life. The wish in her heart, this—is the life she really wants!"

Yue Yu had the same idea as him, that's why he brought him to see Yu Ruyan, now hearing what he said, Yue Yu nodded with difficulty——

Although he knew that this time was the last chance to keep Yu Ruyan by his side, his heart did not allow him to do anything to hurt Yu Ruyan again.So he nodded and agreed to return Yu Ruyan to Mu Lingzhi's side.

But as he nodded in agreement, Yue Yu's heart was instantly emptied——

He knew that from the moment he agreed to Mu Lingzhi's request, Yu Ruyan could no longer belong to him...

Looking at Mu Lingzhi who was grateful and joyful in front of him, Yue Yu said in a deep voice, "I asked you to take her away, but..."

Thinking of King Liang's worries before, Yue Yu's expression became serious.

It is undeniable that this was also his last concern in sending Yu Ruyan back to Mu Lingzhi...

Yue Yu hesitated to speak, and his expression became serious, which made Mu Lingzhi startled slightly.

As smart as he is, he already knew that Yue Yu must have some worries in his heart, so he quickly said: "Brother, if you have any concerns, please speak up!"

"With you by her side, I have nothing to worry about."

With a bitter smile, Yue Yu pondered for a moment, and finally said: "You only know that your father visited Yan Yan before she left Daliang, but do you know what your father said to her?!"

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi's expression was shocked, his body tensed up, and he said anxiously, "I don't know about this, because I heard from the eunuch next to my father that my father only let Yan Yan stay in the house that night." In the hall, everyone else is outside, no one heard what the father said to her... But the eldest brother knows the inside story?!"

Looking at the anxious Mu Lingzhi, Yue Yu pondered for a long time in his heart, wondering whether he should pass on what King Liang and Yu Ruyan said to Mu Lingzhi, knowing that the new emperor must be involved. Issues……

But in the end, thinking of Yu Ruyan, Yue Yu decided to tell Mu Lingzhi what he knew.

He told Mu Lingzhi what he heard from Yu Ruyan that day...

"...So, everything, whether it's your mother or your father, is because they are afraid that the old things ten years ago will happen again, so they force her to leave again and again!"

After finishing everything in a deep voice, Yue Yu couldn't help but sighed softly!
After learning all the truth from Yue Yu's mouth, Mu Lingzhi stayed on the spot in shock—thinking of the pressure and pain she had endured because of herself, he felt even more heartbroken and ashamed of her!

"So, if you want to take her away, if you want her to live without any worries in the future, I hope you can promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will never hurt her again, let alone let her be caught in your arms again. Dilemma with the new emperor..."

Yue Yu finally exhorted earnestly.

……

After Yu Ruyan woke up, Yue Yu didn't break her promise and took her to Shuyu House.

The three of them came to the private room on the second floor, and Yue Yu ordered all the signature dishes in the Shuyu Hall to be served on the table, and put them all into Yu Ruyan's bowl, and told her softly that this is Crystal elbow, that is hibiscus fresh soup...

Mu Lingzhi sat quietly beside Yu Ruyan, and as usual, according to her usual taste, he held the food to her mouth and fed her with his own hands.

Usually in Zhuangzi, although Yue Yu took good care of her, but when eating, he just helped her put the food in the bowl in front of her, but he didn't feed her himself like Mu Lingzhi.Therefore, his actions made Yu Ruyan stunned!

She was a little disgusted and refused to pick up what Mu Lingzhi handed to her mouth. She blushed and said, "Brother Mu can eat by himself. I have Brother Da to help me carry the vegetables, so I don't need to bother you anymore!"

Although her words sounded very polite, it was obvious that she was alienated and displeased with him.

Moreover, while talking, she moved her position quietly, leaning towards Yue Yu.

Seeing these small actions in Mu Lingzhi's eyes, his eyes dimmed, and his heart was full of pain——

He doesn't blame her for being alienated and distrusting him, because when she was in the most pain and helplessness, he was not by her side, and Yue Yu had been taking good care of him...

Seeing the embarrassing expression on Mu Lingzhi's face, Yue Yu smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Ling Zhi, I want to have a few words with Yan Yan alone..."

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi gently put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, opened the door and walked out alone.

As soon as he left, Yu Ruyan suddenly felt much more at ease.She always felt awkward to have an outsider around. Although Brother Da said that this person was someone she knew before, she was still not used to it.

While eating happily, she asked with a smile what Yue Yu wanted to say to her?
Taking a deep breath to subdue the panic in her heart, Yue Yu dotingly wiped away the little oil stains that accidentally got on her mouth, and gritted her teeth to make her voice sound casual.

"Yanyan, actually...Mu Lingzhi is your fiancé. After knowing that you were missing, he came here to find you home..."

"Bah!"

After hearing what he said, the chopsticks in Yu Ruyan's hands fell to the ground, and she was stunned.

"Big Brother, you... what did you say?" The next moment, Yu Ruyan looked at Yue Yu's position in surprise, she frowned in panic and said, "I... I actually have a husband's family Is anyone here?"

Yue Yu looked at her shy, scared, and at a loss, and felt a pain in his heart, feeling that he regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, but he had no choice but to continue talking.

Taking her hand affectionately and giving her the strength to comfort her, Yue Yu smiled bitterly: "For a beautiful woman like Yan Yan, of course there will be people who would like to admire her. Your fiancé is a good man, and he will take good care of you in the future ..."

Before the words were finished, Yu Ruyan's expression changed!

She already understood the meaning of Yue Yu's words, she panicked in her heart, she no longer wanted to eat, she stepped forward involuntarily, groped for Yue Yu's sleeve robe, held it tightly in her hand and refused to let go , his eyes were red, and his voice choked up: "Brother Bigger, you... are you going to drive me away?"

Her eyes are red, which is extremely cute.Hearing her reluctant words and pitiful look, Yue Yu's heart was about to break, but he could only force a smile and said: "Brother Da Da is not trying to drive you away, but because you I have come to find my relatives, and I have to go back to my relatives. I... I will not be able to stay by your side forever..."

His hands were trembling slightly in his sleeves, Yue Yu felt pain in his heart, and really wanted to take back his decision and words just now, but, in order to make her not hate him in the future, he finally let her go...

"But...but you told me before that I have no relatives, so...so I have always regarded Big Brother as the only relative, and now a fiancé suddenly appeared... Big Brother, I don't want to go with him...my My eyes aren't healed yet, I haven't seen you yet, and I don't know what Qingyun Villa looks like, I don't want to leave..."

As Yu Ruyan talked, she finally couldn't help crying, and the crystal tears dripped down one by one——

Since she lost her memory, the first person she met, the first voice she heard was Brother Da's.At that time, she was flustered, her eyes were blind, and her memory was blank. She didn't know who she was, where she came from, and where was her home?I don't know what to do in the future, I feel isolated from the world, dark and scary...

It was Yue Yu's warm and calm voice, like a clear stream, gurgling into her heart, soothing her panic, fear, and helplessness one by one...

Later, he brought her back to Qingyun Villa and took care of her like a family member, like her own elder brother, who was so kind to her that he couldn't say anything, and even tried his best to heal her eyes...

In fact, rather than wanting to know what she looks like, Yu Ruyan wants to see what this elder brother who warmly accompanies her, gives her warmth, peace, and care looks like?
But now, her eyes are about to heal, she can see things, and she can see his appearance, but he wants her fiance to take her away, so she will have a chance to see him again in the future ?
Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan felt sore and heartbroken. She always thought that she would live happily with Big Brother in Qingyun Villa in the future, just like these three months. Unexpectedly, it was only three short months , to be separated immediately...

However, no matter how reluctant she is in her heart, she also understands that her eyesight is inconvenient, and she is not related to Brother Da. He has taken care of her for three months with great kindness. It's a shame to stay by his side all the time.

Thinking of this, even though Yu Ruyan felt very sad and sad, she still complied obediently and sensiblely.

She lowered her head, gradually let go of the hand holding Yue Yu's robe, sniffed, and said in a sad and choked voice: "After that...can I go to Qingyun Mountain to find Brother Yue again? Or...or I will stay for a while I asked... I asked where his hometown is, can brother Da come to visit me when he has time?"

Seeing her reluctance, Yue Yu felt even more sad, and could only endure the pain in his heart, forced a smile and said: "This is natural. You can go back to Qingyun Villa at any time. And I will often visit you."

After finishing speaking, Yue Yu took out the small feather badge on her body and put it in her palm, and said softly: "This is the feather badge that Brother Yue gave you, please keep it by your side, if you want to come to Qingyun Villa in the future, or If you need any help, you can take it to the Yuejia store to find me!"

The moment the small feather badge was held in the palm of her hand, Yu Ruyan felt a strange feeling in her heart. She caressed carefully the patterns carved on the feather badge, and felt a sense of familiarity in her heart...

Outside the door, Mu Ling stood silently with a gloomy face, and all the conversations between the two inside came to his ears clearly!
Hearing Yu Ruyan's reluctance to Yue Yu, Mu Lingzhi suddenly wondered in horror and despair, could many things in the world have changed in three months, such as Yu Ruyan's mind!
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his heart ached.

However, at the next moment, his eyes became more determined, and he thought, no matter who Yu Ruyan chooses between him and Yue Yu in the future, in the days to come, he will definitely try to make her go again. fall in love with yourself...

After nightfall, a low-key and ordinary Qingyuan carriage drove towards the outskirts of the city in the dark, without stopping, as if it wanted to get as far away from Dongdu as possible...

In the early morning of the next day, Prince Ling's memorial was received on the Xinhuanglong case, and he asked himself to go back to the mountains and fields, no longer interfere with the political affairs of the court, and ignored all common matters, and handed over all the military power in his hands...

The new emperor was shocked, and personally led people to the imperial mausoleum to look for Prince Ling, but to no avail.They rushed to the Prince's Mansion and Prince's Bieyuan again, but after searching everywhere, there was no sign of Mu Lingzhi...

As if overnight, the world-famous God of War, Prince Ling, just disappeared from everyone's sight!

When the first rays of sunlight climbed up the treetops in the morning, Yu Ruyan woke up from her sleep in a daze.

Although she was on the bumpy carriage, she slept soundly this time, and she didn't feel the bumps and vibrations brought by the carriage when it was driving.

It wasn't until Mu Lingzhi's unique and pleasant scent came from her nose that she suddenly realized that she was actually waking up in his arms.

Her face was flushed instantly, Yu Ruyan quickly jumped up from his embrace, quickly left his body, and sat down opposite him.

However, the bounce she just made was too violent, and her head hit Mu Lingzhi's chin with a 'bang', who had no time to react and dodge.

He let out a muffled sound, listening to the sound, he felt that the person who was hit was in pain.

Yu Ruyan decided to teach this 'prodigal son' a lesson and let him know how to behave.You must tell him seriously that even though she has a marriage contract with him, you can't mess around like this, touching your hands while serving water for her to drink, touching her head while wiping her sweat, Now it's even more extreme, he actually hugged her directly while she was asleep!

Simply - a shameless hooligan!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, she finally couldn't help but blushed and scolded the person opposite: "I told you last night, don't rely on the marriage you made with me to make a move... We, After all, we haven't formally married yet, how can you...you can move your hands and feet at will. Big Brother said you are a good person, how do I feel, you...you..."

I wanted to scold him for being a frivolous person, but thinking about it, he will eventually become my husband in the future, and I am too strict with him now, if I scold him, I am afraid that life in the in-law's house will be difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan stopped talking and said nothing more.On the other hand, Mu Lingzhi, who was on the side, didn't say a word after listening to her admonishment, nor did he refute what she said was wrong, nor did he admit that he had done something wrong, he just kept his head silent.

She didn't hear his echo, Yu Ruyan couldn't help thinking, did she hit him a little bit harder just now, making him speechless in pain?

So, she had no choice but to hold back the displeasure in her heart, and said in a muffled voice, "Just now... did it hurt when I hit you?"

Mu Lingzhi touched his sore chin, and was about to comfort her by saying that this little injury and pain was worse for him than a mosquito sting, and it would be as painful as she had worried!
However, words of consolation were almost ready to be uttered, a sly light flashed in Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes, and the next moment, he was holding his nose and grunting in pain, and said in a painful voice: "Well, it hurts a lot , the nose is bleeding!"

When she heard that she bumped into her nose and bled, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but panicked, and was about to apologize to him when she suddenly remembered something, her face turned cold, and she said coldly: "I obviously bumped your chin, why would your nose bleed ? You... are you bullying me that I can't see?"

"...When you hit my jaw, my jaw hit my teeth, and my teeth bit my tongue... I couldn't stop the pain for a while, and my nose hit the carriage... Bleeding!"

"..."

"Although the nose didn't bleed directly from you, it was also caused by you hitting my chin just now, so - how will you compensate me?"

Mu Lingzhi wiped his unscathed nose and spoke nonsense shamelessly.His eyes watched Yu Ruyan's face turn white and red with interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

After hearing his words, Yu Ruyan felt flustered, but at the same time, she also heard a bit of teasing in Mu Lingzhi's voice, and she couldn't help but understand that he was teasing her, and she felt annoyed and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He turned his head, opened the sunshade curtain on the car window, smelled the rich and deep fragrance of flowers, trees and grass in the air, his mind was swayed, and he was about to stop the carriage and get out of the car for a walk, when he suddenly remembered the farewell with Yue Yu last night, With a sour heart, tears fell involuntarily.

She asked Mu Lingzhi in a nasal voice, where are they going now and where is her home?

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi was stunned by her question——

After taking her to say goodbye to Yue Yu and leaving Dongdu last night, he thought about his father's concerns during his lifetime and Yue Yu's earnest entrustment to him.Immediately, he left a memorial to Xiaodao asking for hermitage, and left Dongdu with Yu Ruyan as if fleeing.

At that time, he only thought about taking her as far away from Dongdu as possible, and he didn't even have time to think about where to take her, so when she asked him, he started to think seriously.

However, before he could figure out where to take her to live in seclusion, Yu Ruyan suddenly said: "The journey is boring, why don't you tell me about my past!"

Mu Lingzhi, who was thinking about his own question, was asked again by her. After a while, he became a little nervous and said, "What... do you want to know?"

"I want to know, where is my family? Who is in the family? With you... how do we get married?"

Yu Ruyan turned to face him, quietly waiting for Mu Lingzhi's answer!
