Chapter 28
The moment Lu Qian’s hand touched Ling Jingshu’s fingers, Ling Jingshu’s face turned white, her stomach spasmed violently with nausea, and her whole body trembled
Then, Ling Jingshu took a few steps back and bent over to vomit
Lu Qian was shocked by Ling Jingshu’s intense reaction, and without thinking, went up to support Ling Jingshu’s arm, “Ah Shu, what’s wrong with you ” Unexpectedly, Ling Jingshu violently pushed him away
The force was so great that it caught him off guard
The small and weak Lu Qian staggered a few steps and crashed into the table
The vase by the table swayed and slammed to the ground with a bam crunch
Bai Yu, who was outside the door, heard the unusual sound in the room and her face changed as she walked briskly to the door and pushed it open
Ling Jingshu was still bent over, her face painfully vomiting
Lu Qian was leaning against the table, at his feet were pieces of broken vases, his face somewhat unusually pale
Bai Yu’s heart sank, quickly walking over to Ling Jingshu’s side to hold her arm, urgently asking, “Miss, why are you vomiting again?”
Again?
Lu Qian’s ears sharpened as he heard this word and frowned, “Bai Yu, what do you mean by again?
Ah Shu has thrown up like this before?”
Bai Yu was busy taking care of Ling Jingshu, and for a moment she had no time to pay attention to Lu Qian’s sudden change of intimacy, and answered without looking back, “Yes A few days ago, Eldest Young Master Lu came by and spoke to Miss alone
I don’t know what he said, but Miss regurgitated and vomited”
Lu Qian: “” No wonder no matter how much he pressed, Lu Hong refused to tell what happened at that time
It turned out that there was this layer of reason!
It was also no wonder that when Ling brought up the marriage, Lu Hong would endure the pain and refuse
Such a drastic reaction from Ling Jingshu was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the man
Even he, whose heart was like a rock, felt bitter in his heart when he looked at Ling Jingshu’s appearance at this time
Ling Jingshu leaned against Bai Yu’s body, her flowery face miserable, her eyes slightly closed, “Lu Qian, you go first!
Don’t forget what you promised me”
Lu Qian gave a low hmmm, looked at Ling Jingshu with a complicated expression, and finally left
Bai Yu helped Ling Jingshu back to the house to rest, and then instructed Xuan Cao, “You go to the west room and clean up the floor
Remember to go over quietly and be quick with your hands”
After a pause, he also instructed, “No matter what you see, don’t be surprised, and don’t tell anyone”
Xuan Cao responded obediently and quickly retreated
Bai Yu couldn’t rest assured about Ling Jingshu and gently pushed the door in
Ling Jingshu, who was originally lying on the bed, had sat up straight at some point
She had already calmed down, and her pale pretty face gradually took on blood color
Bai Yu sat down at the edge of the bed and inquired with a concerned expression, “Miss, how are you feeling now?”
While speaking, she reached out to support Ling Jingshu
Ling Jingshu lowered her head and looked fixedly at Bai Yu’s hand, a bitter smile of realization flashed in her eyes
It turned out to be so!
There was nothing strange about her when Bai Yu and Ling Xiao touched her
When Ling Jingyan, old lady Ling, or even Ling touched her hand, she was also unharmed
But when Lu Hong and Lu Qian touched her fingers, she felt a gust of revolting nausea and vomited on the spot
There was also that day when just being close to Lu An made her whole body stiff and nauseous in her heart
The faces of men flashed in her mind again, Ling fifth master, Ling Ting
And the mansion boys and guards
Thinking of them, the stomach that had already calmed down began to churn again
All sorts of obvious facts that one could not ignore or deceive oneself
Other than her brother Ling Xiao, any man touching her was unbearable
What kind of strange disease was this?
Bai Yu pressed down the doubts in her heart and said softly, ”Miss, you should rest first
Today’s matter, only slave girl and daylily know
The slave girl has already instructed Xuan Cao to keep it a secret and not to tell anyone about it”
Ling Jingshu hmmm’d, Bai Yu thought for a moment, then carefully asked, “Miss, shouldn’t we ask a doctor to come and take a look?”
In just a few days, she had vomited twice for no reason, no matter how she thought about it, she didn’t feel right, it wouldn’t do to go on like this!There’s no need to invite a doctor”
Ling Jingshu fixed her mind and said thoughtfully, “I know what’s wrong with me
Moreover, this isn’t a bad thing for me, rather it’s a good thing”
Bai Yu: “” What in the world was the young lady talking about?
Why couldn’t she understand half of it?
Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and smiled at Bai Yu, “Bai Yu, you can step back first, I want to be alone for a while”
Although Bai Yu was relieved, however, she never questioned her master’s orders and nodded her head in response and retired
After Bai Yu left, the room became completely silent
Ling Jingshu sat at the head of the bed, frowning and pondering for a long time before finally stretching her brows and making up her mind
It couldn’t be delayed any longer!
She has to solve this trouble of Lu Qian as soon as possible and lead Ling Xiao out of Dingzhou as soon as possible
Lu Qian returned to the house, and when he pushed open the door, he saw that Lu Hong was also there, and was half-surprised, faintly calling out to his elder brother
Lu Hong responded, did not rush to ask questions, his eyes fell fixedly on Lu Qian’s face, not sparing a single change in his face
Lu Qian’s slightly tender face had little expression, allowing Lu Hong to gauge himDid you talk to Cousin Shu?”
Lu Hong finally opened his mouth to ask
Lu Qian nodded
Lu Hong suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and with difficulty, he squeezed out a few words, “She
She promised you?”
Lu Qian smiled a little, “Girls are all reserved and shy, she didn’t agree in a single breath and said she would consider it for a few days before giving me an answer”
Ling Jingshu surprisingly didn’t answer him back in a single breath and had to consider it for a few days?
Lu Hong was like drinking stale and bitter vinegar, his heart was sour and bitter
The smile on Lu Qian’s face was also extraordinarily harsh
Lu Hong’s heart was so stuffy that he couldn’t help but use his words to stab Lu Qian a few times: ”You shouldn’t be too happy either
It might be that Cousin Shu saw that you were young and could not bear to reject you directly, which is why she politely said that she would consider it for a few days”
Lu Qian’s face indeed changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal: “Shu looks gentle, but is actually the most opinionated
If she was really reluctant, she wouldn’t care about anything else and would have rejected me on the spot
This is something that big brother should know better than anyone else”
Lu Hong: “” Lu Hong’s face suddenly turned red and white, and his gaze darkened
The scene that caused him heartache and embarrassment surfaced in his mind again
Lu Qian looked at Lu Hong’s gloomy and lost appearance, his heart burst with pleasure
If he were to say who the most cynical person in this world was, it was none other than Lu Hong
In his previous life, Lu Hong and Ling Jingshu fell in love with each other at first sight, got engaged smoothly, and then married Ling Jingshu in style
The young couple was as sweet and loving as glue, and everyone praised them
No one knew that he had been in love with Ling Jingshu since he was twelve years old
Even after she became his sister-in-law, he could not let go of this infatuation
The more Lu Hong and Ling Jingshu loved each other, the stronger his cynicism towards Lu Hong became
Therefore, when he knew that Lu Hong was under house arrest in the capital and his letters were blocked, and that Ling Jingshu was waiting for Lu Hong’s return in pain and despair, he still did not tell her the truth
When Ling Jingshu is completely dead to Lu Hong, she will open her heart to him and accept him, right?
At that time, he never thought that Ling would use such vicious means to deal with her, and even more so, he never thought that the morally upright Lu An would be so despicable and shameless as to take over his daughter-in-law
Lu Qian didn’t want to remember this painful past, collected his mind and said, “If there is nothing else, please ask big brother to go back to the house first to rest!
I am also tired today”
Lu Hong, however, did not leave and looked deeply at Lu Qian, suddenly coming out with a sentence, “Second brother, you seem to be different from before”
Obviously still the same familiar face, speech and demeanor behavior and sitting and lying down also did not change much
Yet there seemed to be many subtle and unspeakable changes
Lu Qian’s heart jumped two beats faster, but his face did not show: “How could big brother say that?
Where am I different from before?”
It was this kind of demeanor!
Calm and collected, seemingly innocent, but with a deep and incomprehensible light flashing in his eyes, this was not at all an expression that a twelve year old would have
Lu Hong was secretly alarmed, his eyes staring tightly at Lu Qian: “Where exactly is it different, I can’t say for a moment
But I just feel that you’ve been a bit strange since you woke up that day on the ship”
Lu Qian’s heart beat wildly uncontrollably for a few moments
He had always felt that he had covered himself up seamlessly, and no one could detect his strange behavior
He didn’t expect Lu Hong to have noticed it
No, Lu Hong was just suspicious
He must not be panicked and disorganized
Lu Qian pretended to be disgruntled and sneered, “Big brother, are you cynical about me over A Shu’s matter, so that’s why you’re saying these off-color words to discredit me?”
Lu Hong was choked for a moment, and explained in a somewhat woeful manner, “Second brother, you’ve misunderstood, I have absolutely no intention of being cynical about you
I just feel that you seem to have changed differently compared to before”Yes, I have indeed changed quite a bit”
Lu Qian simply admitted, “In the past, I was still a child and didn’t understand anything
Now that I have a woman I like, and I want to marry Ah Shu as my wife, of course I have to change
What’s so strange about that?”
A mouthful of Ah Shu, his tone was intimate
Lu Hong was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he squeeze out an ugly smile, “I’m sorry, I was too much
Don’t take it to heart
I’m a bit tired, I’ll go back first”
After saying that, he turned around and left
The steps were hurried, clearly fleeing
The victor, Lu Qian, did not have much of a smile on his face either, and stared at Lu Hong’s back with a somber expression, his gaze gloomy
