Li Mingyan sat in front of the embroidery rack and embroidered her mandarin duck pillow. The warm afternoon sun shone in, and his slender neck was glowing with a white glow. His face was slightly red, and there was a sweet smile in his eyes.
As she moved the needle and thread, a watery light rippled on the lining. The mandarin ducks swimming in the water were lifelike.
"Miss, Madam invites you to the Rain-Listening Pavilion.”A little maid in pink walked in and said softly.
"Who's there?" Li Mingyan stopped the needle in her hand and raised her head to ask.
"Other than Madam, there's also Second Madam and Fourth Madam.”
Li Mingyan frowned slightly and sighed unhappily. She stood up and patted the folds of her dress."Go and tell Mother that I'll be right there.”
The little servant girl answered and left.
Li Mingyan then sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. She raised her fingers and gently traced the lines of her facial features. They were all delicate and beautiful. When she thought of that iron-willed man, her cheeks flushed red. She really liked the man who was about to become her husband. That day, his performance was not considered good, but anyone who saw the person they liked with another woman would be equally angry.
Nalan Jinghe. This name had been rooted in his heart since he was thirteen years old, and it had grown until it reached the heavens. It had been four years, and he had been thinking about it all the time. Now, she was finally going to marry him. Some people said that she was shameless in taking the initiative to propose. As long as she could marry him and stay by his side. Reputation was nothing.
Although…
However, one day, she would be the only woman he loved.
"Miss, you're so beautiful." Little Jing 'er stood at the side and said softly. In her eyes, Miss was the most beautiful person.
Li Mingyan glanced at her and did not comment. She only smiled at herself in the mirror. He stood up and brought two servant girls to the Rain-Listening Pavilion. Along the way, the flowers bloomed exceptionally well, and even Li Mingyan's mood was exceptionally bright. However, this kind of bright mood came to an abrupt end the moment he walked into the Raindrop Pavilion.
"Yo, sister. Why did he look so bad? Our Yanyan is going to marry the general. Shouldn't she be happy? Could it be…" The purple-robed woman covered her mouth and smiled charmingly." Could it be that elder sister is still dissatisfied with the emperor's gift?"”After saying that, she giggled.
"Second Younger Sister worries too much. I just didn't sleep well last night." Liu-shi's voice was still gentle.
"Sister can't sleep well? How could that be? Old Master has been staying with me and Second Older Sister these few months. Don't get sick again." The Fourth Madam in yellow pretended to be surprised.
"Second Younger Sister and Fourth Younger Sister have worked hard to serve Old Master. Later, I will ask the kitchen to make some supplements for you.”
"Oh, thank you, sister. Heh."
Li Mingyan stood at the corner of the grassy field. No one noticed her. When she heard these words, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. Little Jing 'er, who was standing at the side, grabbed Li Mingyan's hand and comforted her softly,""Miss, be careful of your hand. Don't mind these things. You will be the Second Madam of the General's Estate in the future.”
Li Mingyan calmed herself down and walked into the Raindrop Pavilion.""Yanyan pays her respects to Mother." He bowed down and stood up, looking at the other two women. He greeted them dryly,"Second Madam. Fourth Madam."
"Humph." Fourth Madam turned her head and snorted.
The Second Madam walked over and held Li Mingyan's hand enthusiastically."Have you prepared Yanyan's dowry? If you need anything, you can tell Second Mother. Second Mother's family doesn't have anything else, but they still have a few boxes of brocade.”The maiden family of this charming Second Mistress in purple was the He family, the largest silk family in Silent Lotus City besides Weaving Cloud Pavilion. He was usually very rich and overbearing.
Li Mingyan threw Second Madam's hand away and walked straight to her mother."Second Furen should go and see Ming Hui. I heard that he got into trouble in school and is being punished in the front hall.”
With a scream, the Second Mistress ran to the front hall with a pale face. She even fiercely grabbed the little servant girl beside her and said,"You damn b * tch, if anything happens to the young master, watch how I deal with you.”The little servant girl laid on the side and cried. She wiped her tears and jogged after him.
Li Mingyan sat beside her mother." Fourth Madam has always been friendly with Second Madam. Aren't you going to help her now?”Fourth Madam wiped the non-existent tea from the corner of her mouth. She could not hide her smile and looked like she was gloating. She stood up and sighed pretentiously."Sigh, Minghui has always been a troublesome child. I think it's good for him to remember. Our Mingyang should be back by now. I'll go back and take a look too. Sister, I'll be leaving first." After saying that, he walked out leisurely.
"Little Jing 'er. In the evening, he went to the Second Mistress 'place and told the Second Mistress's servant girl what the Fourth Mistress had said about Hui learning his lesson. Be careful not to leave any marks.”Li Mingyan instructed softly.
"Yanyan. You…" Liu-shi sat at the side and looked at her daughter, suddenly feeling very unfamiliar.
"Mother, your daughter is about to get married. With such a good temper, you will eventually be bullied.”Li Mingyan held Liu-shi's hand and continued without caring about Liu-shi's expression." Father's heart for power has been growing stronger in recent years. Not only did you not support him, but you also obstructed him. How could he not be angry with you?" Mother, in this life, I have nothing else to ask for other than marrying General Nalan. But if I do, I hope that you will have someone to rely on in your later years. When I enter the Nalan Residence, I will definitely strive for the general's love. If I can get better, I hope that father will also take care of you. You must not go against Father's wishes again.”
"Yanyan, mother knows that you have suffered a lot because you have not been loved by your father all these years. However, what your father has done in the past two years…"
"Mother, don't say anymore. I'll leave first.”Li Mingyan looked annoyed. She interrupted Liu-shi and walked out. Only Liu-shi was left sitting in her original position, her face full of worry. Yanyan, do you really know what you want? That person was indeed a rare hero, but was he really your lover? How could everything in this world be obtained by trickery? The heavens were watching. I can only hope that my husband can stop at the precipice. Yanyan, why don't you know how to behave yourself?
Li Mingyan left her mother and was frustrated. She was a little annoyed and annoyed at her mother's words. He looked at the sky and instructed the maid,"I'm going out for a walk. You don't have to follow me."”
It was already dusk. Li Mingyan was walking alone on the street with a dazed expression. She insisted on marrying that person, and even her mother did not support her. Why couldn't she understand him? What's wrong with pursuing what you like? Was it because that person already had a wife and children? How ridiculous. In this world, what was so strange about a man having three wives and four concubines? Why should she be blamed? That woman looked like she had a weak personality. Could she really understand the general? She was just lucky to have a Prime Minister as her father and to be able to marry the General.
Li Mingyan walked and thought about it in a daze. He was thinking about things silently. It was unknown when they had walked from the downtown area to a remote place. She was a weak woman dressed in luxurious clothes and had no one to protect her. The feeling she gave people was not that she was thinner than a yellow flower, but that she was a fat sheep.”No matter how prosperous a country was, jobs like thieves and robbers would never decline. However, some thieves paid attention to the rules and didn't make things difficult for ordinary people. Some were just hooligans.
At this moment, there were two wretched men following behind Li Mingyan. They followed her from the downtown area to a quiet place. The thief had turned into a robber.
"Little girl, why do you look so dejected? Abandoned by her lover? Big brother will bring you to have fun, okay?”Two dirty black hands attacked Li Mingyan's chest, and an unbearable stench filled the air. Li Mingyan was blocked at the back of the closed carriage and only then did she realize the danger.
"Do you know who I am? I'm the daughter of the current Minister of Revenue, and I'm already engaged to General Nalan's manor. How dare you." Li Mingyan forced herself to remain calm." Leave quickly, or I'll definitely get someone to deal with you.”
The two black-skinned hooligans were originally a little afraid, but then a fierce glint flashed across their eyes. In any case, it was already like this. If he asked her to go back, he would definitely lose his life. It was better to go all out. After a while, he would find a place to bury it and treat it as manure.
Li Mingyan was still clamoring, but she did not know that her actions had already made the other party want to kill her.
The two of them approached Li Mingyan little by little and pushed her into a corner. Miserable cries were finally heard. He could no longer remain calm. If he lost his innocence, he might as well die.
A desperate cry spread through the alley, but no one heard it. Then, he would save her.
Tears streamed down Li Mingyan's face. She widened her eyes in fear and dodged the four dirty hands. Seeing that his outer garment had been torn apart, a sinister laugh came from the other party's black and yellow teeth. Li Mingyan was almost in despair, and she wanted to die.
"Stop!" A clear male voice sounded. The two hooligans hurriedly turned their heads and were kicked unconscious before they could see who it was.
"Miss, are you alright?" Li Mingyan felt that she had never been in such a sorry state and in such despair in her life. Trembling, he hugged himself. The feeling of fear was so thick that he could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. There was also the disgusting feeling of almost being humiliated. Tears kept flowing down her face as she raised her head, trembling. When she looked up, she could no longer hold back her tears. It was him.
Li Mingyan had never been so grateful to the heavens. At her most critical moment, this man whom she had been longing for had come to save her. A former servant was about to jump into his arms. Unexpectedly, he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Daddy, who is this sister? He looks very familiar." Nalan Qinghuan jumped into her father's arms first, pretending to be innocent.
"Husband, this is the daughter of the Li family, right?”A graceful figure slowly approached.
Li Mingyan raised her eyes and saw the family of three. They snuggled up to each other warmly and harmoniously, looking down at her.# Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
