No matter how much she banged on the door and cursed, there was no response from the outside.
But Zhong Lingyu knew that Shen Huaizhou could definitely hear her.
He had always been soft-spoken, but her attitude softened, "Young Marshal, I just want to return to the Zhong family and will not leave Yuncheng for the time being."
After a while, Shen Huaizhou's voice came through a door, "For now?"
It's temporary.
When she returns to Zhong's house, she will deal with Mu Denglan bit by bit, and she will leave after her great revenge is avenged.
But now, how dare Zhong Lingyu dare to declare it.
She knocked on the door gently and said carelessly: "Young Marshal, I'm not going anywhere, just in Yuncheng."
The door clicked, and Shen Huaizhou opened the door and came in. He crossed her and sat on the sofa, with a cigar dangling from his lips.
Qingwu vomited slightly, he didn't speak, just stared at her.
The sharp gaze seemed to pierce a hole in her.
Zhong Lingyu's hair stood on end and she didn't dare to move for fear of offending him.
After a while, Shen Huaizhou said, "Come."
He patted his leg.
Zhong Lingyu bit her lip and sat silently on his lap.
Shen Huaizhou's cold expression gradually melted, and he took her into his arms.
The hot breath from her lips hit her ears, "Want to go back to Zhong's house?"
Zhong Lingyu nodded.
He asked again: "What are you doing back there?"
Lowering his eyes slightly, Zhong Lingyu said: "I only have my father as a relative, so I naturally want to go back."
"I have prepared the house and jewelry for you, why do you want to stay with your unkind father?"
He remembered what she had said.
Zhong Yuming, that old man, was unkind and unjust, and didn't care much about Ling Yu and her mother.
She didn't have a good life when she went back.
He advised, "Not only is your father unkind and ungrateful, but also your concubines. If you stay here, I can still protect you."
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if you don't like this, I will give you a bigger house to live in, and I won't wrong you."
Zhong Lingyu didn't want to.
If this is true, her life will be ruined.
Moreover, if she doesn't go back, how can she avenge her mother.
She refused in a low voice, "No matter how unkind my father is, he is still my closest relative. I am willing to go back."
"Stubborn thing!" Shen Huaizhou frowned.
Zhong Lingyu said: "I will move back today."
"What if I don't agree?" Shen Huaizhou narrowed his eyes slightly with a look of reluctance.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Lingyu hugged his neck tightly and leaned in for a kiss.
Her lips were soft and a little cold, touching her cheeks and making her tremble in her heart.
Shen Huaizhou's throat rolled slightly, "What to do?"
"Young Marshal, let me go back to the Zhong family." Zhong Lingyu raised his eyes.
Her pink cheeks were tender and her watery eyes reflected his face.
Shen Huaizhou smiled, raised his hand and tapped his lips.
Zhong Lingyu recognized his interest and leaned forward to kiss him.
Shen Huaizhou turned back to his guest, held the back of her head tightly, and kissed and licked lightly.
The tip of her tongue was numb, and Zhong Lingyu whimpered twice in panic, but she couldn't get away.
Fortunately, Shen Huaizhou didn't go too far. After the kiss, he put his chin on her shoulder, tilted his head and kissed the red skin behind her ears, "Repeat what you said."
Zhong Lingyu was confused, "What?"
"Think for yourself."
Zhong Lingyu looked stunned for a moment, then moved his eyes and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm not going anywhere, just in Yuncheng."
Shen Huaizhou squeezed her waist tightly and warned: "Keep your words in your mind. If you deal with it deliberately, you know the consequences."
"I remember." Zhong Lingyu nodded hastily, "Then can I go back?"
"Not these days."
"Why?"
Shen Huaizhou held her waist and lifted one of her legs up.
Her ankle fell into his hands.
He looked down at the soles of her feet, "The injury is not healed, why are you running around?"
Zhong Lingyu did not refute again.
Shen Huaizhou sent someone to tidy up her room again.
He brought the cat over and threw it into Zhong Lingyu's arms, "Take it back to the Zhong family and raise it. I think you like it very much."
Zhong Lingyu took it and hummed.
He stroked the cat, then stroked her.
Trash her hair.
Zhong Lingyu felt aggrieved and avoided in disgust.
*
In the past few days, Zhong Lingyu asked someone to bring a message to the owner of the clothing store.
She resigned and stayed in the bungalow to recuperate.
She was holding the cat in her hands and sitting on the swing in a daze.
Occasionally, I have hallucinations in front of my eyes, and I seem to see my mother watering the flowers.
When I looked closer, there was nothing there.
While in a daze, her shoulders suddenly sank and she turned around.
Shen Huaizhou took off his windbreaker and put it on her body.
He pushed the swing up, and Zhong Lingyu was also swinging back and forth in mid-air.
The cat was frightened and jumped down. Zhong Lingyu said calmly: "I'm almost healed, it's time to go back."
Returning to the dirty and cold place of Zhong Mansion, he slowly dragged Mu Denglan into hell.
Shen Huaizhou held the rope steady and put his hands on her cheeks, "I'll let you go back tomorrow."
He carried her upstairs and played with her for a whole day.
The next evening, Zhong Lingyu returned to Zhong Mansion.
This time is Zhong Yuming's regular time to go home for dinner.
As she expected, she happened to meet Zhong Yuming at the door.
Zhong Yuming was surprised when he saw her, "Why are you back? Didn't you find a house and take care of your mother?"
Tears fell from his eyes.
Zhong Lingyu was extremely sad, "Father, mother died suddenly of a serious illness."
Zhong Yuming was shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"A cemetery has been found... for burial."
No matter how cool-tempered she was, she was still his first wife. Zhong Yuming got in the car and went to Yun Suqing's grave with Zhong Lingyu.
He stood in front of Yun Suqing's tomb and cried bitterly.
Zhong Lingyu said nothing.
When Zhong Yuming calmed down, she said quietly: "My mother was gentle and soft-tempered during her lifetime. When she was at the Zhong Mansion, she was often bullied by her second aunt. My father was busy with business and neglected to care about me. I resented you and always made you angry." .”
Her eyes overflowed with mist, "Now that my mother is gone, I only have you, my father, as my closest relative. I hope that my father will forgive me for what I did before."
Zhong Yuming was so moved by his heartfelt confession that he couldn't bear to let his eldest daughter live outside.
Furthermore, the eldest daughter should rely on him and know how to behave well, which will make it easier to handle him.
If one day she is lucky enough to become the concubine of a high-ranking official's family, he will also be able to benefit from it.
Wiping his tears, Zhong Yuming said, "You are alone and go home with your father."
Zhong Lingyu hesitated, "Father, I'm afraid not."
"Why?"
"My second aunt has never been used to my mother and I. If I go back, I'm afraid..."
Zhong Yuming glared, "She, Mu Denglan, is not in charge of the Zhong family, so what are you afraid of?"
"Then I will go back with my father." Zhong Lingyu trembled slightly, lowered his head and wiped his tears.
This pitiful appearance made Zhong Yuming feel a little distressed.
When Yun Suqing was alive, she could not get any benefits from Mudenglan.
Now that his mother has suddenly died, the child's personality has changed drastically and he has become so sensible.
He was quite afraid that she would be bullied by Mu Denlan.
Zhong Yuming comforted her, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
"Thank you father!"
After a pause, Zhong Lingyu said, "Father, what about my mother's funeral..."
Zhong Yuming interrupted her and sighed: "The Zhong family's business has been tight recently, and they don't have extra money to pay for your mother's funeral. Lingyu, you have to understand how difficult it is for your father to do business."
Zhong Lingyu's eyes flashed slightly, "I listen to my father."
After losing her mother, she became sensible and well-behaved, and Zhong Yuming was very satisfied.
He took her back to the Zhong Mansion.
When Mu Denglan came out from the door and saw her, his eyes widened at first, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you coming back?"
Didn't she go to the mountain...
Zhong Lingyu stepped forward and held Mu Denglan's hand, "Second aunt, from now on, I will live at home, and our family must take care of each other."
A sudden muffled thunder, like a death knell, penetrated Mu Denglan's ears, and she trembled suddenly.
