When Lian Ruyue heard this, her hand that was holding the brush suddenly stopped. The ink fell onto the white paper, causing a piece of it to turn black.
She put down her brush, walked in front of Le Yan, held her hands, and comforted her gently, "Le Yan, don't think too much. Aunt may have something to discuss with your father, do you understand?"
"..." "Right." Le Yan wanted to say something, but seeing how her mother was acting, she nodded and softly said, "Mother, I understand."
Le Yan, Le Yan!
Mother really wanted to kill herself so much, did you see what you shouldn't have seen then? You wanted to remind your mother to be on guard against Lian Shiya, but I didn't believe you. I thought you were just a child that didn't understand adult matters. Correction: At this time, Le Yan is five years old.]
Every time she saw Feng Qianyue, she would involuntarily think of her daughter and son, and she would be unable to hold back her heartbreaking tears. But from today onwards, Feng Qianyue would never see her tears again.
She slowly raised her head, looked at Feng Qianyue, and said:
"Fourth Prince, using a marriage to exchange for the support of the Duke of Xiao, it's not a loss, right?" Just as Feng Qianyue was filled with deep emotions, he heard Lian Xiyue's ice-cold words.
Her words were like a bucket of cold water being poured on his head. His body trembled as he looked at her incomparably cold face. A wave of anger slowly rose from the bottom of his feet as his eyes turned cold:
"Lian Ruyue, I really want to kill you!"
That's right, he was planning a conspiracy with Xiao Zhenhai. However, this thought did not arise after Xiao Zhenhai had won the battle. Many years ago, he had been secretly observing and considering who was his best helper on the road to power. In the end, he had locked onto Xiao Zhenhai, who was still a rank 4 Martial General.
All these years, he had been secretly collecting all the information he could regarding Xiao Zhenhai. As a result, he was prepared for this negotiation and was confident that Xiao Zhenhai would agree.
But now, even though he was in cahoots with him, in the eyes of others, he had become someone who would not hesitate to marry an incomplete woman in order to obtain Xiao Zhenhai. In the eyes of his royal father, he, who had always been a low-profile, patient and patient fourth son, was actually such a reckless person. In the future, he would definitely take extra precautions against him.
The most important and detestable thing was that he had actually married a disgusting person that made him want to puke. In the future, they would have to face each other day and even raise a case against her. They had children!
So on the surface, it seemed that the most powerful duke in the court had become his father-in-law. He had obtained what he wanted, but in reality, he had lost even more.
Am I wrong? This world was like this, getting some would make one lose some. Since His Highness had gotten what he wanted, what was the imbalance between paying a little more and so on? And some people give up everything and get nothing. They even lose everything in the end and they still have to clench their teeth and live on. So, Fourth Prince is actually already a winner. " "Even Ru Yue's lips had a trace of mockery. She wanted anything, so how could there be such a good thing?
"Heh …" Feng Qianyue suddenly laughed, and the pained expression in his eyes became cold. He looked at Lian Xiyue and said, "Lian Xiyue, do you think that I'll let you go just because I married Xiao Rou? You're thinking too much! My future path will definitely be a bloody one. I don't know when the tip of the blade will pierce through my toes, but I will definitely drag you along with me! Don't even think about getting away with it! As for Ninth Brother … " His smile became cold, "His carefree and carefree days should come to an end, it's better if you come find me!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with big steps, his whole body was filled with anger.
"Shua!" Lian Ruyue put down the carriage's curtain with a cold expression and said, "Let's hurry!"
By the time he returned to the Prime Minister's estate, the sky had already darkened. Even Lu Yue went to pay her respects to his mother and his wife, and after hearing from the servants that his wife and the third miss had returned, the third miss seemed very unhappy and didn't even have time to eat dinner before she fell asleep.
Lian Ruyue lightly smiled and said, "Sleep? I'm afraid that once they regain their senses, they will be unable to sleep at night. "
Qing Dai didn't understand what she meant, but she didn't ask any further. When she returned to her lotus flower courtyard, all the lanterns in the manor were lit up.
Lian Ruyue stood at the door, staring at the two lanterns hanging above the door. A warm yellow halo quietly shone, occasionally swaying.
She remembered that in the past, she had fought a long battle with the mother and daughter of the Xiao family. When she came back, she was exhausted, only to see a bright teenager holding a box of food waiting for her by the door.
His smile was the purest smile she had ever seen.
"…" At this time, a sound suddenly came from the courtyard. Lian Yue was overjoyed as she immediately pushed open the door and entered. Suddenly, she saw a shadow flash past the crabapple tree under the window.
"Yi'er, Yi'er, did you come back?"
The figure behind the tree slowly walked out with his head lowered. The excited expression in Lian Ru Yue's eyes dimmed down.
"Miss told you to guard the door, what are you doing here?" Chen Xiang asked with a gloomy face.
With some trepidation, Xiuzhu walked in front of Lian Ruyue and carefully said, "Eldest Miss, this servant saw that the tree was covered with snow and its leaves were bent down. I was afraid that it would break, so I wanted to clean it up."
Sure enough, she was holding a small shovel in her hand. There was still some snow on the shovel, and her hands were red from the cold. There were chapped areas on the back of her hand.
Lian Ruyue looked at her, then ordered, "Come in, give her that ointment."
Xiuzhu quickly gave up, saying, "No, I'm not that capable. I'll be leaving first." Soo Zhu turned around and was about to leave.
"The young miss wants you to go in, so go in." Qing Dai looked at Xiuzhu's bloody hands and said.
"..." "Yes." Xiuzhu lowered her head and followed him inside to get the ointment.
Lian Ruyue stood in the yard and looked at the Begonia. She remembered that when the Art was left, the flower was still blooming. Now that the flower had fallen, the Art had also left.
"Eldest Miss, Xiuzhu took the ointment and left." After a while, Fairy Qingmei walked over and said, "It's cold outside, you should go back to your room and rest."
Lian Yueyue went into the house, where she built a fire, and felt a warm sensation as soon as she went in. She took off her cloak and bathed her once more.
"Eldest Miss, that Soo Zhu, do you think she's suspicious?" Qing Dai brought the ginger soup over and said.
"Have you searched it yet?" Lian Ruyue asked as she held Jiang Tang in her hands.
"We've already searched the other parts of the courtyard, not doing anything at all." Qing Dai said.
"Keep watching, her brother's medical expenses, continue to be paid for her." Lian Ruyue slowly drank a mouthful of ginger soup. The other party was probably scheming on how to play a game of chess. If she could easily remove the chess pieces, how could she force others into a dead end?
Hehe.
Clear Spring Academy.
Lady Xiao only knocked on Lian Shiya's door after a long time. Seeing her lying on the bed and staring blankly at the bed curtains, she walked over and asked, "Ya Er, what happened? Why didn't you say a word on the way back? You're still depressed."
"Xiao Rou lied!" Lian Shiya tightly gripped the blanket with both hands and angrily said, "It was clearly me and her who conspired together to let that person destroy Lian Ruyue's innocence, and then told everyone to come and see. In order to marry Her Highness, she lied and said that there was no such thing."
