The first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on Shen Huaizhou's deep eye sockets.
He slept deeply.
Zhong Lingyu stood up quietly, but he took the first step and put his arm around her waist, "Stay with me for a while."
During the struggle, Zhong Lingyu touched his forehead and couldn't help but asked, "Do you have a fever?"
So hot!
"What?" Shen Huaizhou lazily raised his eyelids.
He looked obviously weak.
Zhong Lingyu pushed him away, cleaned up, and went downstairs to find Adjutant Li, "Young Marshal, he has a fever. Please go and have a look."
"Okay." Adjutant Li responded.
Zhong Lingyu nodded, "Then I'll leave first. Could you please tell the young marshal."
Adjutant Li was slightly stunned, "Miss Zhong, won't you... stay here a little longer?"
The implication seemed to be that he hoped she would stay here to take care of Shen Huaizhou.
Zhong Lingyu simply refused.
She was only responsible for bringing a message to Adjutant Li, asking him to take care of Shen Huaizhou.
Other things have nothing to do with her.
She said indifferently: "I still have something to do, so I won't stay any longer."
Adjutant Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He said politely: "Miss Zhong, walk slowly."
Zhong Lingyu smiled and left without looking back.
It really proves the saying: King Xiang has intentions, but the goddess has no dreams.
The young marshal will have a hard time in the future.
well!
Adjutant Li sighed and went upstairs.
He pushed the door open and entered the bedroom, and soon found that the wound on Shen Huaizhou's thigh had collapsed.
It's a wound infection that causes fever.
He quickly sent Shen Huaizhou to the hospital.
Zhong Lingyu, who knew nothing about it, had already got into a rickshaw and headed straight to Chen Mansion.
The servants of Chen Mansion all recognized her and took her to find Chen Tinglan.
The Chen family were all in the front hall, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Chen Yunzhang was sitting in the first place, while Chen Tingze and Yan Xiangrong were sitting on the left and right, both with ugly faces.
Kneeling on the ground was a beautiful maid.
It was the person who bumped into Zhong Lingyu yesterday and asked Zhong Lingyu to deliver the book.
Chen Tinglan pulled Zhong Lingyu and eavesdropped outside. She whispered: "That little maid was playing incense in my eldest brother's study last night, hoping to become a concubine. Now she is interrogating her."
Whether this is the case, Zhong Lingyu knows very well.
Nine times out of ten, it was the incense that this maid put out.
But this maid didn't want to seduce Chen Tingze.
But he wanted her to sleep with Chen Tingze.
As for the purpose of the little maid doing this and who is behind the scenes, Zhong Lingyu can't guess yet.
She paid attention to the movement inside.
Chen Yunzhang pointed at the maid and stared at Yan Xiangrong with a gloomy look, "This maid named Yong'er is from your room. Please explain to me clearly what happened to the Mianqingxiang?"
Yan Xiangrong wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Master, I really didn't know that this maid, Yong'er, could be so restless."
"Tell me!" Chen Yunzhang pointed at Yong'er and shouted angrily, "Is it your own idea, or was it your wife's instigation?"
Yong'er shivered and looked up at Yan Xiangrong.
Yan Xiangrong's beautiful eyes were dark, and a plain silver bracelet was quietly exposed from her sleeve.
Falling into Yong'er's eyes, she immediately turned pale, "Master, it's my own wishful thinking. I want to marry the young master as my concubine. No one instigated me."
Zhong Lingyu saw all this.
From her direction, she could see the plain silver bracelet that Yan Xiangrong had deliberately revealed.
When Yong'er saw the bracelet, she looked panicked.
Presumably, that bracelet may belong to Yong'er's family.
Yan Xiangrong threatens Yong'er to take responsibility with the lives of Yong'er's family.
In other words, the mastermind behind this is Yan Xiangrong.
Yan Xiangrong first arranged for Yong'er to bump into her deliberately last night and induce her to go to the study on the pretext of delivering books.
Before that, the incense of infatuation had been lit.
As soon as she and Chen Tingze entered, Fan Fan would roll onto the bed if he couldn't hold himself any longer.
Zhong Lingyu could roughly guess Yan Xiangrong's purpose.
On the day of Chen Tingze's birthday party, she spoke for Chen Tinglan, and Yan Xiangrong held a grudge.
So Yan Xiangrong racked his brains to plot against her.
As long as she slept with Chen Tingze, Yan Xiangrong could drive her away from Tinglan on the grounds that she deliberately seduced men.
In order to better understand Tinglan.
In order to get rid of her, he really went through a big circle.
Zhong Lingyu quietly took Chen Tinglan away, and they went to the backyard together.
Chen Tinglan said angrily: "Yan Xiangrong's heart is so dark, maybe she was the one who instigated it."
"You guessed it right." Zhong Lingyu told Chen Tinglan his guess.
When Chen Tinglan heard this, she immediately exploded, "This old bitch wants to ruin your and my brother's innocence just to take advantage of me. I'm going to tear her mouth apart."
A temper like a firecracker.
Just like this, it would be strange if he didn't suffer under Yan Xiangrong's hands.
Zhong Lingyu quickly stopped her, "Your stepmother has something to do with Yong'er. It's impossible for Yong'er to confess her. If you go, your stepmother will only be hit hard, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Then what should we do?" Chen Tinglan looked unwilling, "Is it possible that you and your brother have suffered in vain? You have to endure such disgusting medicine."
Zhong Lingyu looked embarrassed.
In fact, she couldn't bear it very much.
After being sent to Shen Huaizhou last night, the medicine in her body was completely removed.
She coughed covertly, "I remember you said, doesn't your stepmother have a wanton brother? You can start with him. Although it won't hurt her foundation, at least it can make her calm for a while. You It can also relieve your anger.”
Chen Tinglan gritted his teeth, "No matter what, I have to teach Yan Xiangrong a lesson. Lingyu, can you tell me what to do?"
Zhong Lingyu gave her an idea.
Chen Tinglan responded: "Just do as you say."
Yan Xiangrong, that old bitch, wait for her!
After complaining for a while, Chen Tinglan handed Zhong Lingyu a box, "My eldest brother asked me to give this to you."
"What is this?" Zhong Lingyu looked strange.
"It's a writing brush. This is top quality."
Zhong Lingyu pulled her lips and smiled stiffly, "Why did you give me a writing brush?"
The last time Chen Tingze gave her copybooks, it was because they were unused.
What is it for this time?
not...
As soon as she had other thoughts, Chen Tinglan explained: "This is an apology. My elder brother feels very guilty. He said that you should not be involved."
So that's it.
Zhong Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She also thought that Chen Tingze had feelings for her.
Unable to laugh or cry, Zhong Lingyu said, "I guess your brother thought it was Yong'er who put the incense. In fact, he was the one who was involved. I can't keep this brush."
Chen Tinglan refused to give it to her, "Yan Xiang Rong is good at pretending to be virtuous and treats my eldest brother very well. I don't think my eldest brother would have thought it was her. Just keep this as a thank you gift from me."
Zhong Lingyu had no choice but to accept it.
While the two were talking, the front hall was already quiet.
Yong'er was beaten twenty times with a cane and was soon driven out of the Chen family.
Yan Xiangrong was "not guilty" and was comforted by Chen Yunzhang.
Chen Tinglan saw Yan Xiangrong's hypocritical face and almost couldn't help tearing her apart.
Fortunately, Zhong Lingyu stopped her in time, "Tinglan, you can't!"
Chen Tinglan held back his anger, then pulled Zhong Lingyu, found Chen Tingze, and said worriedly: "Brother, your body is not affected at all."
Chen Tingze said: "No, I have already seen the doctor, don't worry."
As he said that, he glanced at Zhong Lingyu, then quickly turned away, his face flushed, "Miss Zhong, were you... okay last night?"
"It's okay." Zhong Lingyu didn't dare to look at Chen Tingze, her face was also red.
Because she has a guilty conscience.
Yesterday, I and Shen Huaizhou spent the whole night hanging out, and it was really hard to see the light of day.
Chen Tingze and Zhong Lingyu, neither of them dared to look at the other, each had their own thoughts.
Chen Tinglan looked back and forth between them.
She smiled ambiguously, her eyes shining with a thief.
