Running without being able to see, it was impossible not to fall. She did not intend to get up after she tripped over a stone. Instead, she buried her face in her arms and wailed. After enduring so many years of love, she finally pulled it out. In the end, it wasn't a dreamy beauty, but a bloody and heart-wrenching pain.
"This is the man you love. Ah Li, if you had chosen Pei Siyuan back then, perhaps you wouldn't be as sad as you are now.”
A pair of dark-colored boots with purple patterns intertwined on them appeared in front of her. She looked up while sobbing. The first thing she saw was a light purple robe, and then she saw a gentle man holding an oil-paper umbrella. He held the oil umbrella in one hand and pinched the silk in the other. There was a smile on his lips, but it was colder than this rainy summer night. This man was different from Pei Siyuan's evil smile. He was truly cold and bloodthirsty. He belonged to a person who was cold to the bone.
She was helped up by him. Looking at her sister's current sorry state, Leng Ruofeng did not have a trace of pity in his eyes. Leng Ruoli hugged her arms and shivered uncontrollably. Her entire body was drenched. Using his sleeve to wipe away the rainwater that had fallen from her hair, Leng Ruofeng shook his head and said in disappointment,""I thought that among us siblings, Leng Feiyi was the most stupid, but I never thought that my sister was the most stupid. Although he understood this, he was unwilling to admit it.”
"I…I can't accept this." Leng Ruoli looked at Leng Ruofeng with her red and swollen eyes. Compared to the others, the only person she could ask for help was her brother. No matter how incomprehensible his actions were, he would at least care about the fact that they shared the same mother.
Leng Ruofeng covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed."Unwilling to accept what? What else is there to be indignant about? If she had married Pei Siyuan, she would have had the chance to overthrow Ah Wan. In the end, for the sake of your so-called love affair, you chose to give in and give that idiot Leng Feiyi a chance. What have you gained from following Meng Yu? It was nothing more than watching him fall in love with Ah Wan while you were alone there, heartbroken and stubborn.”
Covering her head, Leng Ruoli's temples were throbbing with pain from the scolding. She squatted down. Her dirty appearance was no longer as graceful as before, but it made people's hearts ache even more. Leng Ruofeng glanced at her indifferently. In the end, he couldn't stand the kinship between their bones and blood. He turned his head and said in a cold voice,""Ah Yin, bring her to the town to change into clean clothes and make some ginger soup. Don't let her die here.”
A fiery red appeared in the dark night, like the warmest flame. The woman holding the red oil-paper umbrella brought silver bells with every step she took, like a beautiful night elf. However, the arrogance between her brows always made her carry a murderous aura that forcefully shattered all the beauty.
Hua Yin looked at Leng Ruoli, who was squatting on the ground and sobbing. To be honest, she really didn't like this weak young lady. Like the few young ladies in the Shadow Mountain Manor, although the Second Young Lady had a few disagreements with her, she was also someone to her liking. Third Miss, that cold and aloof woman, really made her want to become close friends, but Zichen did not allow it. The Fourth Miss was also very annoying, but in the end, she was just a little arrogant and did not have too many thoughts. Fifth Miss…This Eldest Miss looked gentle, but she had a fierce temper. He could have gotten along with her like this, but unfortunately, this Eldest Miss was really two-faced. Right, according to his mother, the people of the Central Plains were all hypocrites who did not mean what they said.
When the two women brushed shoulders with Leng Ruofeng, Leng Ruoli stopped. She tilted her head and looked at Leng Ruofeng, tears still lingering in her eyes. Leng Ruofeng didn't look at her but waited for her to speak.
How is Leng Suran?" After a long time, Leng Ruoli finally opened her mouth with difficulty.
Hua Yin glanced at Leng Ruoli with disdain and turned his head to wait for the siblings to finish their last conversation for the day.
Leng Ruofeng smiled and tapped the cold umbrella handle with his slender joints. His gentle voice seemed to be saying something elegant,""It's probably already in the hands of the person holding the Great Ravager! That person was in a hurry to settle the score with Ah Wan for the Dragon Scale. If Ah Ran was sent to him, as long as he could prevent that idiot Leng Fei Yi from ruining things, he could still restrain that cunning girl, Ah Wan.”
Pursing her lips, Leng Ruoli tugged at Leng Ruofeng's sleeve, and her pleading voice made Leng Ruofeng frown again,""I don't care what brother wants, but I hope brother won't hurt Meng Yu.”
Watching Hua Yin carry Leng Ruoli away, Leng Ruofeng wiped away the last trace of his smile and turned to walk towards the ruined temple…
The purple boots rolled over the charred wooden stick that was still sparkling on the ground. Leng Ruofeng covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed twice. He coldly looked down at the unconscious Meng Yu on the ground.
"Growing up with you can be considered a friendship. If I kill you, it would seem that I am too heartless. If I don't kill you, Ah Li will be killed by you sooner or later.”
His slender hand slowly pressed on the short knife at his waist. The cold light had only appeared for an inch before it stopped. Leng Ruofeng suddenly smiled and half-squatted down. Leng Ruofeng covered his lips with his sleeves, and when he took them off, a little blood seeped out of his thin lips."Not yet. I almost forgot that you and Ah Wan have the love gu on you. Killing you is equivalent to killing her. Tsk tsk, what a good life. But with your life, it'll be easy to kill Ah Wan in the future.”
Sweeping away the non-existent dust on his sleeves, Leng Ruofeng stood up and looked around. In the end, he turned around and opened the umbrella, disappearing into the night rain.
Hua Yin brought Leng Ruoli to an inn. The second brother who opened the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the two beautiful ladies. Hua Yin raised his eyebrows and sneered. He turned the umbrella around and placed it on the waiter's neck."If you want to die, you can stay in a daze.”
The waiter was so scared that he immediately made way for them and went upstairs to prepare the guest room for them. On the other hand, the old shopkeeper was so scared that he hid behind the counter, revealing only a pair of shrewd eyes that sized up Hua Yin and Leng Ruoli from time to time.
At this moment, Leng Ruoli's entire body was limp on Hua Yin's body, probably because of the cold. Leaning on Hua Yin's shoulder, her face was pale and weak, which made her look pitiful.
He helped the child up to the guest room on the second floor. At this moment, the waiter who had cleaned up the guest room came down. The old innkeeper waved his hand, and the waiter ran over to him and bent down to wait for him to speak.
"Who are these two girls? Coming to our hotel in the middle of the night, could it be that their hands and feet are dirty?”
Scratching his head, the second brother replied in a low voice,""Who cares what their background is, as long as they give us money, it will be fine. The lady in red just now might look fierce, but she was really generous!”As he spoke, he proudly took out a silver ingot from his sleeve.
When the old shopkeeper saw that it was a silver ingot, his eyes immediately lit up and he bit it again and again, smiling quite proudly.
In the guest room, Hua Yin threw Leng Ruoli onto the bed and drank a cup of tea. Leng Ruoli was curled up, her long hair covering her face, making it hard to see her eyes.
After drinking for a while, Hua Yin finally got impatient and took out a brocade quilt from the wardrobe and spread it over Leng Ruoli's body. He said coldly,""I've already sent the waiter to make ginger soup and buy a set of clean clothes. Bear with it and use the blanket to warm yourself up. If he had typhoid fever, Zichen would definitely feel heartache again.”
"Miss Hua Yin, you must really like big brother, right?”
After a moment of silence, an ethereal voice suddenly spilled out from Leng Ruoli's lips. Hua Yin's red dress, which had just turned around, paused. She tilted her head, and her long eyelashes fluttered up and down. Her red lips suddenly curled into an arrogant smile. She raised her chin and said arrogantly,"It's not like, it's love."
"Love…haha, love…I love too, but the person I love doesn't even give me the chance to love.”Leng Ruoli sat up, wrapped herself in the blanket and sat at the corner of the bed, smiling sadly.
Hua Yin sighed. He felt that this young miss was actually a person with a bitter life. Although he did not have a good impression of her, he was still a little pitiful. Turning around, Hua Yin looked at Leng Ruoli who was sobbing silently with her head against the wall.""Since you like it, why don't you fight for it openly? Do you think I don't know? You were the one who set Leng Suran up for Qin Mo. Using sinister means to delay that man so that he would not meet Su Su so quickly would not help.”
"Su Su…you mean Ah Wan? It was me…who set Ran up. I was the one who thought of it. I was just angry. I didn't think it through. I didn't think that my brother would have the idea of killing Meng Yu. I didn't think that…Meng Yu would still miss Ah Wan even if he died.”
The dim candlelight elongated Hua Yin's shadow. She looked at the woman, and her eyes were very similar to the man she liked. However, there was always a faint sense of inferiority in her eyes. The way she always lowered her head made it impossible for others to see through her thoughts or see through her joy. How could such a careful woman, who was afraid of doing something wrong, be attractive? Compared to Su Su, who dared to love and hate, she was indeed much worse.
"If you were kind-hearted, perhaps you wouldn't be so annoying.”
This was the last sentence Leng Ruoli heard when she woke up. Hua Yin listened to the rain outside the window and tasted the tea that had long cooled down. It wasn't until the waiter brought her a change of clothes and hot ginger soup that she got up to call Leng Ruoli.
Looking at the gradually rising sun in the east, several horses galloped on the official road. They were led by a white-robed woman and a white-robed man. The woman anxiously whipped her horse. Her black hair was lifted up and swayed in the air with the morning wind.
Yizheng, something has happened to Ran. I have to leave. We will meet in Jinling in a month.
Gu Yizheng looked at the paper in her hand and pursed her lips in silence. Aunt Zhang walked behind him and patted his shoulder comfortingly."I don't know what your relationship with Ah Wan is, but I know that you both have feelings for each other. Since that was the case, he could not hide it. Even a village woman like me can tell that Young Master Pei is interested in Ah Wan. If you don't pursue her, who knows if your wife will become someone else's.”
Big Brother Zhang walked over with a cigarette in his hand, smiling as honestly as ever."My old woman is right. Ah Wan is a good girl, but no matter how good a girl is, it's not safe for her to be with a beautiful young master who's full of bad ideas every day. Young man from the Gu family, you look handsome but you're a little cold, but Ah Wan's importance in your heart isn't low. No matter what, you have to rely on yourself to pursue this woman.”
