Chapter 62 - The Past (2)
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries that day, Lin Daoran immediately cut to the chase, "Little girl Lan has married into the Prince Rui's Palace, and now she has become it in the blink of an eye."
The Madame paused to calm her disordered breathing. She did not directly answer.
"Yesterday, she wrote a thread inviting me to have a meal at her restaurant. Look at this girl, she's getting more and more considerate. When she was young, she would think about how to dance with sabers and spears everyday, and she would think about going fishing. The sky is so cold, she's not afraid of cold, hahaha …"
The general Madame asked, "Does Princess Rui really want you to go to the restaurant to eat?"
Second Lieutenant Lin nodded his head: "Yes."
"Then be careful."
"What's wrong?" Lieutenant Lin felt that something was wrong, especially when he mentioned the post earlier.
"What's going on?" Lieutenant Lin asked.
The general said from the Madame: "Don't be surprised to see Princess Rui, you must look at her with the most ordinary of hearts."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
The general Madame said, "That precious Lan girl escaped the marriage on the day of the wedding. It was her cousin who replaced her. "
"How is this possible!?" It's impossible for her to do such a ridiculous thing! " Lieutenant Lin immediately denied his answer.
The general Madame continued: "She escaped the marriage and took away her favorite dagger. She didn't have any other dagger, don't tell me she didn't escape back to Mo Bei to look for you?"
"Impossible, Sister-in-law, you must be joking with me, right?"
The general Madame sneered: "How did my good daughter get taught by you guys in Mo Bei? She dances all day and plays with swords, she doesn't know a single thing about etiquette and craftsmanship! All of you are harming my daughter, and we haven't even been together for a year, and yet we've been tricked away by you. The general Madame asked word by word.
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? How could Lan girl escape from marriage? She would not do such a thing! " Lieutenant Lin did not expect the Madame General to say that, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Perhaps it was because she couldn't see, but she was still looking straight ahead." She doesn't deserve to be my Bai Family, because my Bai Family doesn't have such an unfilial son! "
"Sister-in-law, if the little girl isn't satisfied with the marriage, she will definitely reveal it. She can't just directly escape the marriage, she didn't go to Mo Bei either!"
The Madame laughed coldly, "You can say whatever you want. I'm already blind, so just say whatever you want to say. I, the old blind man, am no longer useful! "
"Sister-in-law, how can you belittle yourself like this? Moreover, there is no certainty in this matter. " Lin Daoran said.
"Unqualified? My eyes were blinded by that evil child! In my opinion, she must have taken a fancy to that man in Mo Bei and went back to look for her lover! " The general Madame's voice was filled with sorrow, and at the same time, he was sad and resentful towards his daughter. Most of them were blaming Lin Daoran and the general.
"What have you taught my daughter? A good child has such a spicy look! "
Lin Daoran wanted to say something to the general and Madame, but she did not hear anything. In her eyes, Bai Ruolan was just a sinner who abandoned his family and ran away for his own benefits. Never worthy to come back.
Perhaps it was because she had said too much today that her eyes were bloodshot.
The servant at the side hurriedly handed the handkerchief over.
Lin Daoran at the side was afraid that blood would gush out from the general Madame's eyes. Although he was used to seeing all this on the battlefield, he was more worried about the general's weak body.
There was no point in speaking any further. In the end, Lin Daoran took the initiative to bid farewell to him.
When Lin Daoran saw the Princess Rui invitation once again, he felt that it was very heavy.
"What a sin!"
It was already the end of autumn and the weather was getting colder and colder. Those who feared the cold had already donned winter clothes. Lin Daoran was still wearing his thin shirt inside the house as he looked at the red maple trees in the yard.
He still remembered that day when he gave the Gem dagger to Bai Ruolan. She said she would take good care of it.
This dagger was found in a spoils of war. At that time, Lin Daoran looked at the small and exquisite body of the dagger and thought of bringing one for Bai Ruolan. He did not expect that the dagger would become his last thought.
"The more Lin Daoran thought about it, the more his eyebrows furrowed." Escape from marriage? Blind? Two years ago, she married into the Prince Rui's Palace, but Lan girl had already died two years ago! " "In his heart, there was a frightening thought taking shape within Lin Daoran's heart." How did Lan Lan die? " Doubt arose in Lin Daoran's heart.
The more he thought about it, the more Lin Daoran kept the dagger in his bosom. He stood up and was about to chase after Qiu Jinzhi.
It was a bustling business circle, but even though the business competition here was bad, the Qiu Family was still able to have a seat in this area. Even though Qiu Lin was not here, it showed that he was able to make a name for himself in the business circles.
Just as Qiu Jinzhi was thinking about this, the carriage suddenly stopped. "Qiu Jinzhi leaned forward as he got used to it. "What's wrong?"
"A post from the Princess Rui for you." servant passed the thread to Qiu Jinzhi.
Qiu Jinzhi opened his thread. Eating with Shuntian tomorrow? " had never interacted with this Princess Rui before, never interacting with King Rui twice. That guy was never reasonable. What did the Princess Rui mean by sending him a message?
The carriage moved on. Upon reaching the College, Qiu Jinzhi jumped off the horse carriage and prepared to enter the College, but the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. Qiu Jinzhi turned his head and saw Lin Daoran riding over on a horse.
