Chapter 22
This spitting out was by no means an adjective
Ling Jingshu had really thrown up
Her stomach seemed to be churning with something, her whole body was stiff and numb, but her fingers, which were touched by Lu Hong before, were hot, as if they were being burned by fire
Lu Hong was also shocked by Ling Jingshu’s fierce reaction and stood still
He watched as Ling Jingshu’s face vomited in pain
The human body’s reaction was the most direct and keen
He only touched her finger, and her reaction was so violent
It turned out that she wasn’t being tongue-in-cheek, she really hated him!
The sound of Ling Jingshu vomiting startled Bai Yu who was guarding the courtyard door
Bai Yu hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door, and when she saw Ling Jingshu’s wretched vomiting appearance, she was both shocked and heartbroken
Busy running over, she assisted Ling Jingshu while patting her back, “Miss, what’s wrong with you?
Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
After vomiting cleanly, the spasmodic twitching in her stomach finally subsided
Ling Jingshu’s entire body was weak, her arms and legs were sore and limp as she leaned on Bai Yu’s shoulder, her face miserable
Bai Yu’s voice had already choked: ”It was fine before, how did it suddenly become like this
Slave girl this will let people go to report to the master and wife, now invite a doctor to ” “Don’t alarm anyone”
Ling Jingshu’s voice was breathless but unusually insistent, “You help me into the house
I’ll be fine after resting for a while”
Bai Yu couldn’t argue with Ling Jingshu and could only respond helplessly
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Lu Hong’s stiff, ugly and sad handsome face, and her heart became increasingly strange
What exactly happened just now?
How did Miss suddenly throw up?Miss is not feeling well, the slave girl will first help Miss into the house to rest
It’s not convenient to send Table Young Master”
Bai Yu spoke very politely, but the implication was clear
Yes, he should also leave!
Lu Hong wanted to open his mouth to say goodbye to Ling Jingshu, but as soon as he looked up and saw Ling Jingshu’s wretched and weak appearance, he swallowed all his words
Then, he turned around and left
When he came, he was full of joy and expectation, and his steps were quick
When he left, his heart was sour and sad, and his feet were as stagnant as a thousand pounds
Lu Hong lost his mind and left the Autumn Water Pavilion
Just a few steps out, he met Ling XiaoCousin Hong,” Ling Xiao perked up his ears to listen to the sound of Ling Xiao’s footsteps, the corners of his lips lifted into clean lines, “I’ve been waiting here for you
Have you seen A Shu?”
Lu Hong’s face stiffened, he couldn’t squeeze a smile out at all and only gave a low hmmm
Ling Xiao curiously pursues, “Did you confess your feelings to her?
What was her reaction?”
Lu Hong looks obscure, his voice a little low, “It was me who was too abrupt
She doesn’t have half a good feeling for me at all” He could no longer deceive himself and tell himself that in fact, she also had a favorable impression of him in her heart, but just refused to show it due to the young girl’s reserve
She loathed him!
So disgusted that she didn’t want to look at him more than once!
So disgusted that when he only touched her fingers, she retched her stomach and vomited!
Thinking of all this, Lu Hong only felt as if her heart had been emptied, empty and uncomfortable
Ling Xiao can’t see Lu Hong, he doesn’t know that Lu Hong’s eyes are overflowing with sadness and loneliness at this moment, and even quietly glistening with water
However, he could hear the trembling and despair in Lu Hong’s voice
Ling Xiao secretly sighed and patted Lu Hong’s shoulder soothingly, ”Cousin Hong, don’t be too upset
It’s probably because there’s no destiny between you and Ah Shu
With your family history and character and looks and talents, you will definitely have a good marriage in the future”A good marriage ” Lu Hong murmured and whispered, smiling miserably
No matter how many beautiful and lovely maidens there were in the world, no one could replace Ling Jingshu
Without her, where would he have a good marriage?
Lu Hong was in a low mood and really did not feel like talking
Ling Xiao doesn’t know how to comfort him anymore, and after some thought, says, “Cousin Hong, you’re in a bad mood, so don’t go to the theater
Lest you reveal something wrong in front of people
Why don’t you go back to the house first and stay alone”
Lu Hong hmmm’d and left with a heavy stride
Ling Xiao stood in place for a moment, then walked towards the Autumn Water Pavilion
Ling Xiao had been blind for many years and knew the roads of the Ling Mansion like the back of his hand, especially the road to the Autumn Water Pavilion, he didn’t know how many times he had walked it
He had long since become familiar with it
There was no need for a maid to assist him
Just after taking a step into the courtyard, Ling Xiao smells a strange smell and there is also a sound
Ling Xiao frowned
Just about to open his mouth to inquire, Bai Yu’s voice has already sounded, “Sixth Young Master, why are you here”Bai Yu, what are you doing?”
Ling Xiao asks without answering, “Where is Ah Shu?”
Bai Yu hesitates slightly and finally tells the truth: “Just now, the Lu family’s cousin young master was talking to the young lady alone, and somehow, the young lady regurgitated and vomited
Now she is resting in the house!
The slave girl is here to clean up ” Before the words were finished, Ling Xiao had already changed his face and immediately lifted his feet and went to Ling Jingshu’s bedchamber
Because his mind was flustered, he also lost his usual calmness and composure, and almost fell down with one foot
Jingyu exclaims in shock and rushes forward to help Ling Xiao: “Young master, be careful!”
Ling Xiao’s thin chest rises and falls sharply a few times, takes a few deep breaths, and settles his mind, “Don’t worry, I’m fine
I’m going to go in and take a look at Ah Shu”
Jing Yu cannot rest assured and follows behind Ling Xiao without moving an inch
Only when Ling Xiao pushes the door in, does she stop, gently closing the door to the room and guarding the doorAh Shu,” Ling Xiao fumbles his way to the bedside, a look of anxiety and eagerness on his face, “How are you now?”
The moment Ling Xiao pushed the door in, Ling Jingshu opened her eyes
Her face is still a little pale, not much blood, and her voice is a little weak, “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry”You’ve thrown up, how can you be fine”
Ling Xiao sits on the edge of the bed with a face of chagrin and self-reproach, “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have taken it upon myself to arrange a private meeting between Cousin Hong and you”
Speaking of this, in his heart, he could not help but feel a little strange again
What exactly did Lu Hong do to make Ling Jingshu react so violently!
Ling Jingshu could see the doubts in Ling Xiao’s heart, but did not want to explain more, and said in a light-hearted manner, “I really have nothing, just now I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, so I threw up
I’ll be fine after a few moments of rest, you don’t have to worry, and don’t tell anyone about today”
Ling Xiao solemnly responded, and after a moment’s hesitation, asked in a low voice, “Ah Shu, do you really not like cousin Hong Hong at all?”
Without hesitation, Ling Jingshu responded decisively, “Of course not
If I could, I wouldn’t want to see him at all”
She only had a bone-deep hatred and loathing for him, and would never want to be involved with him again in this life
Ling Xiao also stopped pursuing the matter
A Shu hated Lu Hong and didn’t want to see him, so in the future, she would try not to let him appear in front of A Shu
The two of them did not speak, and the room was quiet
Ling Jingshu looked down at her fingers, the place touched by Lu Hong still had a strange burning sensation, making her vaguely nauseous, very uncomfortable
This feeling, it’s just not right
Ling Jingshu tentatively reached out and held Ling Xiao’s hand
Xiao’s hand is soft and warm, the familiar touch is reassuring
The stupid feeling of nausea that had been stirring up before subsided like a tidal wave
Only then did Ling Jingshu secretly breathe a sigh of relief
Ling Jingshu did not dare to rest for too long, after about half an hour, she went with Ling Xiao to the side of the theater stage
The troupe was singing Five Daughters’ Birthday Tribute, the singing was wonderful and lively, the crowd was watching with great interest, no one noticed Ling Jingshu’s return
Only Ling Jingyan smiled and asked, “Why were you gone for so long?”
Ling Jingshu replied as if nothing had happened, “I don’t like to listen to theater, so I just went back to the Autumn Water Pavilion and secretly slept for a while”
Ling Jingyan didn’t suspect anything and didn’t ask any further questions, pulling her hand and whispering, “Grandmother’s birthday banquet is going to be held for three days, and this troupe is going to sing for three days in a row as well, so there will be a lot of excitement in the next couple of days ” Ling Jingshu listened absentmindedly
The hand that was being held by Ling Jingyan did not feel any different
It seemed that just now, it was because she hated Lu Hong too much that she was extraordinarily averse to his touch
At shenzhen time, the theater troupe finally dispersed
The guests who came to celebrate the birthday bid farewell one by one, the Ling family was busy again, and after sending off the guests, the family banquet in the evening was almost ready to start
The Ling family has been in Dingzhou for a hundred years, and there are many clansmen
This branch of the Ling family is a direct descendant
Old Mrs Ling’s seniority was extremely high, and today was her 70th birthday, so there were an unknown number of clansmen who came to celebrate her birthday
It was a family banquet, but there were more than a dozen seats
Men and women are seated on separate tables
Lu An swept his eyes, but did not see Lu Hong’s figure, could not help but wrinkle his brows, called Lu Qian and asked, “Ah Qian, where is Ah Hong?”
Lu Qian lowered his head and replied, “I haven’t seen big brother either”
It was not known what kind of trouble Lu Qian was having, he had been avoiding him for the past few days
When he met, he never took the initiative to speak
When he asked, Lu Qian didn’t dare not to answer
But that look of avoidance was really exasperating
Lu An instructed with an unhappy face, “You quietly go and look for it, and make sure to come back before the dinner starts”
Lu Qian responded and numbly went to look for someone
Looking at Lu Qian’s departing figure, Lu An’s mood was not much better
He had been in Dingzhou for a few days now, and every day he socialized with a few of his uncles, and there were not a few large and small officials in Dingzhou City who came up to get close to him
However, in the end is in Ling’s mother’s house, many things have to restrain some
At most, the banquet called some singers to accompany the wine, the matter of bedding is not to think about
For one day can not be without female sex Lu An, such days is tantamount to cultivation and suffering, the whole day to Ling’s mediocre and the color of the face, there is really no fun
A daze, a beautiful face with a beautiful face suddenly attacked the mind
Lu An had always been fond of beautiful and alluring mature women, and most of the concubines in his mansion were of this type
He never thought that he would be attracted to a young girl who was not yet mature
