Chapter 13

Later, Lu Hong left Jizhou and went to the capital to participate in the examination

Lu Qian’s courage is also more and more big, even ran to her face, to her confession of heart

She was so shocked and angry that she rebuked him mercilessly, and then rejected him and threw him out

Lu Qian lost his mind and left, because of overthinking, and a heavy rain, started a high fever

Three days in a row, the fever did not go down

Ling’s scared out of her wits, all day long at the bedside wiping tears

In the fever coma, Lu Qian has been murmuring her name, Ling’s natural also heard in the ear

Ling’s is how angry need not be described in detail

But seeing that Lu Qian’s life is about to be lost, also did not have the heart to find her trouble

After Lu Qian’s fever subsided, he lay sickly on the bed, refusing to eat or speak

Ling held back the fire in her heart and softly begged her to take care of Lu Qian for a few days: ”

You are A Qian’s own cousin and his sister-in-law

Are you going to stand by and watch him give away this little life?

Even if I beg you, take care of him for a few days, coax him for the time being, and when he gets better, you can stay away from him if you want to avoid suspicion”

Although she was reluctant, she couldn’t withstand Ling’s crying pleas and reluctantly agreed

With her taking care of him, Lu Qian’s condition really improved rapidly

He drank and ate obediently, and was soon cured

But she also got into this trouble, the servants in the house began to spread rumors

Ling’s eyes are looking at her more and more bad

Soon came the happy news that Lu Hong had won the first prize in the examination

She was overjoyed and was looking forward to Lu Hong’s early return, taking her and her son away from the Lu residence

Unfortunately, what she waited for was the bad news that Lu Hong was pregnant

She was so sad and desperate that she washed her face with tears in the house

Lu Qian rushed to her house in the daytime and said defiantly in front of the maids, “Big brother is treacherous and has other arms, he doesn’t want you, I’ll marry you!”

The maids’ jaws dropped and they were too horrified to speak

Ling quickly rushed over and ordered Lu Qian to be tied down with an iron face

Before leaving, Ling stared at her fiercely

It was as spiteful and sinister as a viper, chilling

The distant memories sealed in the bottom of her heart came rushing back

Lu Qian’s white and clean face full of smiles quietly overlapped with the reckless and paranoid teenager in her memory

Ling Jingshu’s heart was flooded with unspeakable feelings

If it wasn’t for Lu Qian, Ling wouldn’t have used such poisonous and insidious means to harm her, and she wouldn’t have ended up in that situation

But during the several years of painful days of being under house arrest in the Lu family, the only one who dared to visit her was Lu Qian

When she couldn’t bear to be humiliated and wanted to escape back to her mother’s home, it was also Lu Qian who secretly helped her escape from the Lu residence

In the end, Lu Qian is just a stubborn boy who can’t be loved

She hates the Lu family, but not much hatred for Lu Qian

She hates Lu’s family, but she doesn’t hate Lu Qian

Ling Jingshu, whose thoughts were in turmoil, could not help but look a bit dazed

Lu Qian had been paying close attention to the changes in Ling Jingshu’s demeanor, so naturally he didn’t miss the hint of a daze, and his heart felt a sudden stabbing pain

However, he could not show a trace of it, and tried hard to squeeze out a cheerful smile: ”Cousin Shu, only the Luoyang Brocade has blossomed in the garden, and I didn’t have the time to appreciate it last time I came to the garden

I didn’t have time to appreciate it last time I came to the garden, but today is the right time to see it in detail

I still hope that cousin Shu will not hide anything and give me some pointers”

A hand out does not beat a smiling face

Ling Jingshu nodded after a slight hesitation

Lu Qian’s eyes lit up, and his right hand, which had been shrunk in his sleeve, trembled with excitement

Fortunately, it was properly concealed and no one noticed

Lu Hong watched this scene in his eyes, and his heart became more and more unfavorable

Ling Jingshu’s gentle care for Ling Xiao did not need to be detailed, and she was also quite calm and courteous to Lu Qian

The only time she faced him was cross-eyed, her eyes filled with disgust and contempt

Lu Hong was also a naturally stubborn person

The more Ling Jingshu was like this, the stronger the desire in his heart to be close to her became

It was obviously not a good idea to be cheeky and move in front of her

Lu Hong’s mind flickered, and he quickly had an idea

He intentionally walks a little faster, side by side with Ling Xiao, and talks to Ling Xiao cordially: “Cousin Xiao, yesterday I saw that you also went to the Ling family’s family school to observe, did you understand the scriptures explained by the teacher?”

Ling Xiao shakes his head somewhat shamefully, “I only understood a little half of it, and I didn’t quite understand most of it”It’s not your fault”

Lu Hong smiles and comforts, “You seldom go to home school on weekdays, and only listen to the boys reading to figure out the scriptures themselves, naturally not as careful as the husband’s teaching

If you don’t mind my clumsiness, I’ll tell you about the sutra that the teacher taught yesterday”

Being so friendly and enthusiastic makes Ling Xiao’s heart warm, her pretty face floats with joy, “How can this be a good idea, it’s too much trouble for Cousin Hong”

Lu Hong smiles faintly, “It’s a small matter, it’s nothing to worry about

Cousin Xiao being so polite is out of place”

After a pause, he laughed again, “This time, I came with my mother and second brother to the Ling Mansion as a guest, and will be staying for a few months

I’m two years older than you, and I’ve done some hard work in my studies

I passed the government examination last year, and now I have the title of Xiu Cai

I have some knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics

If you don’t know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics, why don’t you discuss it with me?

Perhaps it will be of some benefit to you”

Ling Xiao was quite a bit surprised

However, he didn’t agree at once, but gently tugged on Ling Jingshu’s sleeve: “Ah Shu, isn’t it not too good to trouble Cousin Hong like this”

Lu Hong’s thoughts could not be hidden from Ling Jingshu

Ling Jingshu was about to flatly refuse without thinking, but when she saw the excitement and expectation on Ling Xiao’s face, her heart suddenly softened

Ling Xiao stayed in the mansion every day and had almost no playmates of his own age

He has always been lonely and lonely, Lu Hong such a positive and proactive show of goodwill, Ling Xiao heart do not know how happy

Forget it

As long as Ling Xiao is happy, it’s good

Although Lu Hong is a backstabbing villain, he is quite talented

It is good for Ling Xiao that he is willing to give him sincere guidance

Ling Jingshu smiled at Ling Xiao, ”It is indeed a bit of a bother to Cousin Lu

However, since Cousin Lu took the initiative to open his mouth, I think he is also quite sincere

You should just accept it!”

The moment these words came out, Ling Xiao and Lu Hong’s eyes both lit up

Lu Hong’s overjoyed look fell into Ling Jingshu’s eyes, which was particularly harsh

Ling Jingshu secretly sneered in her heart

Lu Hong was interested in pleasing Ling Xiao, and his purpose was simply to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to her

It was a pity that her heart was already as cold as iron

Even if Lu Hong had all sorts of means, it would be a waste of effort

Everyone has their own thoughts, and enjoying the flowers has become secondary

Lu Qian had a lot to say today, and kept pulling at Ling Jingshu, “Cousin Shu, which two kinds of peonies were used to graft this Luoyang brocade?

How long is the flowering period?

Besides these two colors of flowers, can it produce other colors?”Cousin Shu, I have nothing to do every day, so I will accompany you to the Peony Garden to take care of these peonies in the future!”Cousin Shu, what else do you like to do in your spare time besides planting flowers?

Playing the zither and painting, or embroidering women’s colors?”Cousin Shu ” Like a fly, it buzzed incessantly in her ears

Ling Jingshu’s patience was almost worn out, and she said in a quiet voice, “You need to be calm when enjoying the flowers, but if you’re so noisy, how can you enjoy the flowers?”

Lu Qian was counted down also not annoyed, grinned: “Yes yes yes, I listen to you, from now on do not talk”

After holding his tongue for not long, he opened his mouth again, “Cousin Shu, will you teach me to plant peonies?”

Ling Jingshu: “” Still just as pestering as in her previous life, putting on a cold face and just ignoring it, cold words and not taking it to heart, like a hot piece of dog skin plaster, giving people a headache

Lu Hong has been patiently explaining the scriptures to Ling Xiao, occasionally raising his head and looking into Ling Jingshu’s helplessness and Lu Qian’s fluttering eyes

There was some unspeakable sourness in his heart

When he realized that this sourness actually came from Lu Qian, he couldn’t help but secretly smile to himself

Lu Qian was still a child, and did not understand what Fang Mu Shao Ai was

It was ridiculous for him to be jealous of Lu Qian

Looking at Ling Jingshu’s beautiful breathtaking side face, Lu Hong’s heart surged with unfamiliar surging tides of love, sweetness mixed with uncertainty and bewilderment, and sourness contained infinite joy

Is this the feeling of liking someone?

A heart seems to be floating in the clouds, longing to see her, for her knitted brows and smile and moved, for her indifference and disgust and sadness

Lu Hong lost his mind indistinctly

Ling Xiao waited for half a day, but did not hear him go on, and could not help but urge, “Cousin Hong, why did you stop talking in the middle of your sentence?”

Only then did Lu Hong come back to his senses and coughed sheepishly, “Nothing, I was just thinking about how to say something plain and easy to understand ” A boy hurriedly ran over and reported to Lu Hong Lu Qian: “Reporting to the eldest young master and second young master, the master’s boat has arrived at the pier

Madam instructed the two young masters to take the carriage to the pier to pick up Master now”
