The matriarch sat in the carriage and did not come out to see anyone. The only thing she did was to chat with them as they walked along the bluestone path to a carriage far away. When they saw this battle, they had already made a guess as to the identity of the person who had just arrived.
After the carriage stopped, someone put down the carriage and two pretty girls got out of the carriage. After that, the carriage curtain was opened again and a woman walked out of the carriage, beautiful and beautiful, beautiful to look at, with 3000 silky black hair tied up into a bun, wearing a purple embroidered plaid dress, and a pair of golden silky-white shoes.
Most of them had attended Ying'er's poetry meet and had heard about the two of them. They did not speak, and only stood quietly to the side as they prepared to see what would happen next. Dong Ling Wan bowed to the four members of the Xiao family before speaking to Pu Jing, "I apologize for being late." There was no lack of intimacy in the politeness, but it was rather surprising.
"Second Miss being willing to come is a blessing for Pu Jing." The light in Pu Jing's eyes was a bit dim. She used to call herself Ah Jing.
Dong Ling Wan looked at his slightly haggard face and secretly glanced at Xiao Xun. When she saw that his eyes were slightly red, she couldn't help but shake her head.
He still had to start from last night. Last night, Dong Ling Wan couldn't sleep, so she just sat in her room. Then, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door. It was the middle of the night, so he didn't speak. Furthermore, there were three gatekeeping girls outside the door of Eastern Ling Wan's mansion. With such a large commotion, he couldn't hear their voices! It's hard to avoid thinking about the wrong things...
Dong Ling Wan opened the door hesitantly, but before she could see who the person in front of her was, a tall figure pressed down on her. Dong Ling Wan frowned, and tried to help her in as she complained, "Where have you gone mad to drink so much?!"
Dong Ling Wan stretched out her hand and touched her face, but didn't say anything. She placed him on the bed and gave him a wet handkerchief. Before she could do anything about it, she covered his face with the handkerchief with her hand. Xiao Xun woke up quite a bit as the handkerchief was covered by his face. He stretched out his hand to pull it off and smiled at Dong Ling Wan. He was drunk and his eyes were filled with charm.
Dong Ling Wan's eyebrows twitched, but she did not blame him for it. "Stop messing around!"
Xiao Xun smiled foolishly. "I'll teach him a lesson in your place, hmm?"
Dong Ling Wan became silent. No matter what happened, it wouldn't be a single person's fault. What do you mean by not teaching them a lesson? To her, Pu Jing was still a person worthy of respect, but how could she bear to reproach him for protecting her like this? Dong Ling Wan smiled, "Don't think too much. I'm fine."
"Really?" Inspector Xiao obviously didn't believe him.
"As expected, it's been broken clean a long time ago. I don't care about him anymore."
Dong Ling Wan's expression couldn't be said to be serious, making people unable to guess the true meaning behind it. Xiao Xun looked at Dong Ling Wan, not saying a word.
Dong Ling Wan felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. Just as she wanted to ask if he was leaving tonight, she heard Xiao Xun's somewhat aggrieved voice: "Is there someone else in your heart?"
Dong Ling Wan was startled. No matter how she looked at it, these words sounded a little strange. However, she didn't pursue it. "Don't even think about it. But why do you ask?"
"You lied to me!" It's Xiao Qian, right? " Xiao Xun's voice became a bit cold. He saw that their gazes were often like that. Xiao Han's words that day really provoked him!
No, absolutely not!
He had thought that Pu Zi would be able to take care of her for the rest of her life. Since Wan liked it, he could leave her life. This time, he definitely wouldn't give her happiness to another man!
Dong Ling Wan raised her brows, and suddenly laughed, "Are you a demon? Where were those eyes? I don't see that I hate him. "
Xiao Xun looked into Dong Ling Wan's eyes. His gaze was very deep. Suddenly, he got up and embraced Dong Ling Wan. His voice was quiet and didn't hide the breeziness in it. "That's good!"
Dong Ling Wan smiled, and then took his hand off, "Drinking this much in the middle of the night, you're really messing around!" When she saw that Xiao Xun clearly did not know how to repent, Eastern Ling Wan sighed helplessly and said, "Let's sleep here tonight. I'll have someone report to the manor."
"No." Xiao Xun shook his head as he felt dizzy. He waved his hand and walked out of the room. It was obvious that he was still confused. His steps were not steady as he said, "I have to go."
"You …" Actually, Eastern Ling Wan wanted to say that no one in the mansion would dare to gossip about her, and he didn't need to worry about ruining her reputation. However, she knew that it was useless even if he did, so she didn't stop him and said, "Be careful on the road."
Xiao Xun snorted and left on his Qing Gong. Dong Ling Wan looked at his back, deep in thought. However, what she didn't know was that someone else had seen and heard everything …
Dong Ling Wan pulled away from her memories. Pu Jing saw that she had lost her train of thought and didn't say anything. At this moment, a little girl came over and said that Matriarch He had invited Second Young Miss Dong to get in the carriage for a chat. Pu Jing said he wanted to go with her, but Dong Ling Wan refused on the grounds that he had to accompany everyone else.
Matriarch He invited Second Young Miss to have a chat in the carriage?
Everyone was at a loss. Why were these two people, who had caused such a huge ruckus, now …
Dong Ling Wan got into the carriage herself. Behind her, Xiao Qian's gaze towards her was a little dark and hard to see. Her words from last night still echoed in her ears. She hated him! Xiao Qian didn't know why, but he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. Especially when he saw her slightly red eyes, he felt even more furious. Had he stayed up all night? For which man?
This woman was clearly nothing special. If there was one, it would be more debaucherous than others. To think that she was actually involved with two men at the same time!
It was impossible for him to admit that he was jealous!
On the other side, Dong Ling Wan walked into the car. Matriarch He examined Dong Ling Wan from head to toe before slowly saying, "She really is a wonderful person. What a pity!"
Dong Ling Wan didn't answer, she just sat silently at the side. The Countess didn't pause, and continued, "You're a pretty good girl, and I like you from the bottom of my heart, but Jing'er isn't your good man. Do you understand?"
"Since Matriarch has something to say, feel free to say it!"
"My earlier words were a bit too much, this old body will apologize to you." However, Jing Er is a person who values friendship. The two of you met three years ago at this place. The time for us to walk on the road is long past, and he still hasn't given in, so you should be waiting for someone. "
The two of them coincidentally hid in the Misty Rain Pavilion to take shelter from the rain. Meeting was fate, and the two of them happened to have a casual chat, talking about astronomical geography, hearing about strange things, and having fun, just like the talented ladies in the books. When marriage began, emotions gradually arose.
"What is the matriarch trying to do?"
Since you're not here today, why don't you come and sit in the car for a bit? Since you've come, I'm afraid that we'll never meet again, and there's no need to leave behind grudges for the rest of our lives. In the end, the matter from before became too big for him to handle, and now that the Pu clan has moved away, it's time for them to leave.
Dong Ling Wan understood her meaning. They would never see each other again. They didn't need to keep their grudges, and they naturally didn't need to stay any longer. The special road allows us to return together, where does the same road come from? He and Ah Jing were strangers, and their meeting was an accident.
That's right, Ah Jing was a gentle and kind person. Furthermore, she had always been a stubborn person. Therefore, she should be the one to do this kind of thing …
She got up to get out of the car, but just as she was about to leave, the matriarch's voice rang out from behind her. "Before we leave, this old woman didn't even give you any gift, and only used this half a lifetime of experience and experience to send the second young miss a few words." There are some things that are too much of a concern for Second Miss. "
Dong Ling Wan's body shuddered. Seeing her like this, the old mistress smiled again, "This old woman has not read for many years. Second Miss, please excuse me." It's getting late, so I won't keep Second Young Miss for long. I hope Second Young Miss can persuade that foolish grandson of mine not to miss the timing. "
When everyone saw that Dong Ling Wan had returned, they were all silent for a moment. Dong Ling smiled gracefully. "That's right, it looks like it's getting late. Is the auspicious time coming?"
Pu Jin raised his head and looked at the sky, "It is indeed not early anymore."
Dong Ling Wan poured two cups of wine and handed a cup to Pu Jing. "I don't know when we'll meet again. Shaoqi, let me toast you. It's not like we've wasted our time here."
A soulmate? Everyone was confused. What was this? Was she trying to distance herself, or had everyone been mistaken?
After a long while, he took the wine cup. The corners of Dong Ling Wan's mouth curved into a smile as she said, "Everyone, there will eventually be a break in the banquet. Let's all toast to Young Master. The auspicious hour has arrived, don't let him miss his journey."
Everyone raised their wine cups. Pu jing then raised his own wine cup and said, "Thank you everyone for remembering. We will serve you with our wine glasses first." After Pu Jing finished his speech, he cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, goodbye …" "Second Miss, goodbye!"
After everyone shouted out "Farewell!", Eastern Ling Wan finally said, "Goodbye, Young Master." Toilet flower, farewell. Jing, take care.
Pu Jing didn't say anything and just smiled. He lightly tapped his foot on the ground and landed on his horse, bowing to the crowd once again. He glanced at Dong Ling Wan again, then gave a short shout before riding away.
The crowd dispersed in succession. They were tired from last night's sleep, so they prepared to call Xue Yu and Gu Ruoyun back to the house. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to move, a fan appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
