The two women who looked so similar were cold and aloof. Their faces were filled with the same pity, as if they were pitying everyone, but also as if they were pitying each other. They stood in the center of the Neverwinter Court, and the people around them were on high alert.
"Do you…want to see Rou Ying? She misses you." Leng Suwan turned her head and saw the silent man in white squinting at her. When he met her gaze, a gentle smile bloomed on his lips, but it was also cold and chilling. Looking at Leng Cangming, his eyes had long become turbid with the passage of time. He held the sword in his hand tightly, as if he was declaring that if Leng Suwan said something wrong, he would kill her regardless of the so-called father-daughter relationship.
His lips curled into a faint smile, and his cold eyes slowly filled with warmth. She thought that the woman was Leng Suwan's mother after all. No matter whether she raised her or not, she had to see her. He asked her if the Su family, which had long been destroyed, was more important, or if her two daughters were more important…
"Fourth brother, I think that if I take this girl away now, fourth brother should be very happy. After all, Rou Ying has something you've been looking forward to for nearly twenty years. If so many years had really passed, she would have told this girl before she died. This way, it can be considered as fulfilling your greed, Fourth Brother.”Leng Youxuan turned around slowly, her eyes returning to the empty space.
Obviously, Leng Cangming didn't like her being so straightforward, but the only person who could get close to Su Rouying and Leng Suwan was this half-crazy woman. For the sake of the big picture, he could only keep a straight face and purse his lips.
"Third Sister…you must remember that I spared your life today because I still don't understand what happened to Zhongyuan. When Zhongyuan returns, the first person I kill…will definitely be you. Of course, Zhao Yizhu can also be one step ahead of you.”Her voice was ethereal, as if she was talking about something unimportant, but it made Leng Ru and Zhao Yizhu pale.
After saying that, Leng Yunyun turned around and slowly left the Neverwinter Court. When she passed by the maid in green who had taken her pipa, the maid immediately handed her pipa.
Her fingers were slender, and her long fingers caressed the zither rope. With a light pluck, the crisp sound of a single syllable cut through the sky like it had been washed white. The first ray of the morning sun slowly crossed the horizon. Her ankle-long black hair was like a waterfall on a cliff, beautifully fluttering under the morning sun. The light green figure outlined a touch of loneliness, a sadness that was carved into his bones and blood. The melancholy and murderous song " East Wind " overflowed from her fingers again. Leng Suwan pursed her lips slightly and finally followed her.
"The Leng family's dirty laundry has been seen by the general.”Leng Cangming's eyes were bloodshot after a sleepless night. He rubbed his temples tiredly and smiled at Pei Siyuan.
Pei Siyuan waved the twelve-bone jade fan in his hand and smiled casually."Since the manor lord already has plans to get married, then the manor lord's family matters are Siyuan's family matters. Siyuan naturally won't laugh at his own family matters.”
His tone was gentle when he said this. Although he didn't say it loudly, it was enough for the people of the Leng family to hear. Leng Ruoli suddenly raised her eyes and subconsciously looked at the red figure standing alone. That person's figure was still tall and straight. His scarlet clothes were plated with a layer of fire in the morning glow, like a phoenix of nirvana. He tilted his head, his gentle appearance carrying a faint indifference, as if all these people and things had long had nothing to do with him. However, only she knew that his heart had long left with the white-robed woman. She smiled bitterly and lowered her head again.
As expected…You're not afraid of Pei Siyuan marrying the villa…Because no matter if it's the eldest or the youngest, it can't be her…
Leng Ruofeng, who had been observing from the side, saw Leng Ruoli's appearance and his lips curled into a cold smile. Leng Feiyu was not too concerned about this and was currently instructing the maidservant to help Zhao Yizhu back to the inner cabinet. He followed Leng Ru, who was carrying Leng Feiyi.
"Hahaha, what the son-in-law said is our family's matter. There's no family scandal.”Leng Cangming, who had always been elegant, was now laughing like a great bell. His deep laughter carried waves of internal energy that spread throughout the entire Neverwinter Court, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz. It was like a kind of ambition that was about to burst out and a blatant provocation. However, only he knew whether he was provoking the imperial court or Pei Siyuan alone.
"Ah Li, come with me."
Leng Ruofeng's voice suddenly sounded in Leng Ruoli's ears. Leng Ruoli's heart tightened and she subconsciously wanted to shake her head to reject. However, when she thought about how Leng Ruofeng was her twin brother, but he was as strict and harsh to her as he was to her, she could only lower her head and follow the crowd out of the Neverwinter Court.
"You should know that father gave us a good chance just now.”
When they reached a small path, the siblings naturally separated from the crowd and walked side by side on the cobblestone paths of different sizes. Leng Ruofeng spoke in a light tone without much fluctuation. However, Leng Ruoli's palms were slowly oozing with cold sweat. She could only lower her head and remain silent.
Towards Leng Ruoli's silence, Leng Ruofeng only glanced at her indifferently. Seeing that she only buried her head deeper, he could only say indifferently,"" Pei Siyuan's looks and abilities are not worse than Meng Yu's…"
"It's different!" Leng Ruoli, who suddenly spoke, did not care about Shuwan and hurriedly stopped Leng Ruofeng from continuing. When she raised her head and met Leng Ruofeng's gaze, she lowered her head in panic. The two people she was most afraid of were Leng Suwan and her brother. His gaze was not as dull as Leng Suwan's, and it could not tolerate any dirty desires. Instead, it was bottomless, as if it was filled with greed and desire for power. It made people lose themselves under his usual gentle appearance. She remembered that when they were very young, when they were only five years old, the Headmaster had slapped her palm because she had not memorized the Thousand Character Classic. Leng Ruofeng looked at her red and swollen little hand after the incident and said lightly, If one day I become the manor master of the Shadow Manor, I will definitely get rid of those who look down on us, those who bullied us and looked down on us.
"What's different? Aren't they all good-looking men? As Pei Siyuan's wife, you don't have to be afraid of Leng Suwan in the future. Isn't that what you want? At that time, even if you wanted her life, it would be as easy as flipping your hand.”
She looked up at the man in front of her in disbelief. His purple robe made him look handsome, and his black hair was neatly tied up with a jade crown. He looked at her, as if he had thoroughly analyzed her inner thoughts. Even the most unknown viciousness in her heart was exposed to the sun on this spring morning without any mercy.
"You're my younger sister. Naturally, you can't have all the thoughts of a weak little girl. You and I are the closest people in this world. It can be said that I am you, and you are me. You will more or less share my thoughts. Leng Suwan is too disobedient and hard to control. It's not wrong to want her dead.”Leng Ruofeng frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at the blooming azalea beside the cobblestone path. There was a cluster of blood-red azalea that was particularly dazzling in this early morning that was plated with a layer of light gold.
Leng Ruoli's gaze was also fixed on the cluster of azalea flowers. She walked to the side of the blood-red azalea and squatted down. The light blue skirt spread out on the cold stone path, reflecting the gray and decadent color. Her slender fingers gently brushed across the delicate petals, but such a gentle movement left a crack on the blood-red petals. Fresh and tender flower juice spilled out bit by bit, and the most beautiful azalea withered in her hands.
Looking at the cuckoo, her voice was flat."Brother, you probably don't know what love is, right? How could a better appearance and a more noble status replace love? Hua Yin had followed her brother for three to four years. She had given her brother the most beautiful years of her life. Was it for the sake of her brother's appearance and the identity of the Eldest Young Master of the Shadow Mountain Manor?”
Leng Ruoli stood up, her wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, her black hair sticking behind her with a deathly stillness. Her gaze passed over Leng Ruofeng's shoulder and touched a fiery red dress hidden behind the locust tree.
"Hua Yin is different from you. You are my biological sister, she…"
"She's your wife. Even if she's not now, she will be in the future!”She suddenly interrupted Leng Ruofeng's words and quietly stared at the fiery red reaction.
Leng Ruofeng was smart and naturally understood what she meant. He pursed his lips and smiled."That's right, Hua Yin will be my wife. After I get what I want, the first thing I'll do is marry her. I've let her down these past few years."
The fiery-red dress seemed to have lost its graceful and heroic bearing as its owner stiffened. After a while, he disappeared from Leng Ruoli's sight. She lowered her head, her expression unclear. Leng Ruofeng put his hand on her thin shoulder, and his smiling eyes became serious and deep.""I know that there is no one else who can be of the same mind as me other than Ah Li. Her mother's health had not been good in recent years. She had originally taken the title of Third Mistress as Su Rouying's dowry servant girl. All these years, although Father did not treat Mother like how he treated Su Rouying, she was once the first-class maidservant of the Su family. How could Mother's suffering be as simple as what you and I usually see?”
That's right, the reason why they hated Leng Suwan so much was partly because of their mother. Leng Ruofeng and Leng Ruoli's mother was Su Rouying's dowry maid, but one day, Leng Cangming raped her when he was drunk and got pregnant. Leng Cangming had no choice but to give her a status. It was also because their mother was once Su Rouying's personal maidservant that every time Leng Cangming found trouble with Su Rouying, he would vent all his anger on Third Madam. Since young, Leng Ruoli and Leng Ruofeng had seen their mother being insulted and beaten many times. All the resentment towards the mother and daughter of the Su family had slowly grown in her mother's hardship when she was young. Now, it was deeply rooted.
"How can you say that you don't hate the Smiths? But does elder brother have to let Ah Li marry General Pei? In Ah Li's heart, other than Meng Yu, there was no one else.”
"If Meng Yu has you in his heart, I can settle for the next best thing and work hard for a few more years. However, Meng Yu has already planted the love Gu in Leng Su Wan's body, so you have no place in his body. Since that's the case, why are you so obsessed? Why don't you help me? At that time, I can also hold my head high in front of these people who look down on us siblings.”
