But when Wang Quan saw Ling Yun, he told him that Yu Qingcheng had an important calligraphy book to hand over to him.
Ling Yun asked what kind of calligraphy book it was; Wang Quan hurriedly took out the calligraphy book and handed it to him with both hands.
After Ling Yun thanked Wang Quan, he took the calligraphy book and left.
As he walked, he opened the calligraphy book and saw a letter: "Commander Ling, after seeing the calligraphy book, please talk to the silk and satin shop. If you have any urgent matters, please do it! Yuqing is done."
Ling Yun couldn't help but wonder, wondering why Yu Qingcheng was so eager to find him?
He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already setting. So he went back, changed some clothes, turned around and walked out.
Huan Yu said from behind: "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Don't forget to come back for dinner tonight!"
Ling Yun responded casually: "I know." and left without looking back.
Huanyu shook his head and sighed. Since she came to Baiyunxuan, she has been with Mrs. Ruan all day long, and it is rare to see Ling Yun all day long. Even if they meet, they come and go in a hurry, just like the situation today.
As for Ling Yun, as soon as he saw Yu Qingcheng's calligraphy book, he naturally connected this matter with last night's case.
If Yu Qingcheng is so anxious to see him, could it be that he has discovered something new about Xiao Yongnian or Ouyang Zhen?
In the distance, when he could just see the entrance of the Silk Satin Mansion, he could see a person standing at the door for a long time, looking eagerly towards this side.
It’s the housekeeper Wednesday Shen.
When Shen Zhou saw Ling Yun on Wednesday, he immediately became excited, came up to him with a smile, and said repeatedly: "Commander Ling, you are finally here! I thought you had important matters in mind and refused to show your favor."
Ling Yun said: "What does your boss Yu want to do with me?"
Zhou Shen said: "You don't know our landlady. There are some things I don't dare to ask if she doesn't tell her. But won't you know it when you see her?"
Ling Yun thought to himself about the nonsense, and followed Zhou Shen into the silk and satin shop.
Yu Qingcheng took it out with a smile, greeted Ling Yun, and invited him to the inner hall to talk.
There was a pot of light wine and some side dishes inside; Yu Qingcheng invited him to sit down.
Ling Yun said: "Boss Yu, you came to me not just to chat over wine, right?"
Yuqing filled a glass of wine for him and said, "You seem to be very anxious today, but no matter how anxious you are, you have to drink this glass of wine first."
Ling Yun stopped chatting with her and raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Of course, he would not have thought of what his glass of wine would mean if he drank it carelessly.
Ling Yun finished his drink and urged: "Boss Yu, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."
Yu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
She said slowly: "I remember one of Li Qingzhao's poems said, 'Three glasses and two glasses of light wine, how can he resist the wind coming late at night?' It's outrageous that you only drank one glass now; come on, drink two more How about a cup?"
"Boss Yu," Ling Yun said, "I have something to do right now. I don't want to enjoy drinking, singing, or watching flowers and admiring the moon. Let's talk about it later when we have free time. Just now, you asked someone to tell me what happened. ?”
Yu Qingcheng said calmly: "Yes, I sent you a calligraphy guide. I came to you mainly to... thank you for saving my life last night."
Ling Yun said: "What else?"
"there is none left."
Ling Yun was so discouraged, "Boss Yu, you came to me in such a big way, just for such a trivial matter?"
Yu Qingcheng said: "How can this be considered a trivial matter? If Commander Ling hadn't helped me, I would have been dead a long time ago. What a major matter this is!"
Seeing that Yu Qingcheng was serious and serious, Ling Yun just thought that Yu Qingcheng was making fun of him, so he stood up and said: "Boss Yu, if there is nothing else, Ling Yun will leave first."
He wanted to move his legs, but he only felt his head buzzing, his whole body was weak, and he just wanted to sleep.
Wednesday Shen hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Commander Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Qingcheng said: "He is tired, and he drank a very strong drink called Yingfeng, which made him drunk. Butler, please help him go back to his room to rest for a while."
Lingyun seemed to hear Yu Qingcheng's words in a hazy voice. Deep in his heart, he was still worried about something very important to do, but he could no longer help himself.
Gradually, all consciousness has become blurred...
Wednesday Shen helped Ling Yun go back to his room and lie down.
Yu Qingcheng asked him to retreat first, and sat alone in front of Ling Yun's bed, staring at his deep and handsome face with a variety of emotions.
Although she claims to be a heroine and a hero among women, she still, like other women, believes too much in fate and God's arrangements.
After she impulsively sent Ling Yun a calligraphy book in the afternoon, she began to regret it again.
She scolded herself, why did her daughter become so in love now? Since you were determined to kill him, why did you feel pity to save him?
But later, she felt that she was justified in doing so.
After struggling over and over again, she simply cut off all her worries with one sword, and decided to stay or go based only on fate and God's will.
If Ling Yun can arrive at the Silk Satin Manor before sunset today, it will be his good fortune; on the contrary, if there is any unexpected delay and the only chance to save him will be lost, it will be God's will.
"It seems," Yu Qingcheng said to himself, "Ling Yun, your fate is better."
At that time, Yu Qingcheng added not only the hibiscus flower poison antidote to Ling Yun's wine glass, but also the very clever "Love Qin Gu".
This drug does no harm to the human body, but allows people to sleep soundly and comfortably for six hours.
Of course she had a purpose.
The hibiscus flower poison has been in Ling Yun's body for ten hours and is extremely harmful to the human body. After taking the antidote, the yin and yang will inevitably conflict, causing discomfort in the body.
Yu Qingcheng was afraid that this would arouse the other party's suspicion and expose her flaws, so she used Aiqin Gu.
Let him take a nap first, which is like anesthesia, but at the same time it allows him to rest and regulate his breathing, so that he will no longer feel any discomfort when he wakes up the next day.
Yu Qingcheng sat silently in front of Ling Yun's bed, couldn't help but sigh softly, and continued to look at his sleeping face longingly.
He frowned slightly, breathing softly, and his chest rose and fell with his even breathing.
Because of the effect of Aiqin Gu, his face was flushed, making his originally strong and handsome cheeks look more angular, three-dimensional and charming under the flickering candlelight.
Yu Qingcheng suddenly felt a surge of love. She couldn't help but hesitantly stretched out her jade hand and gently stroked his sleeping face...
When the stars gradually set and the dawn first appeared, Ling Yun finally woke up from his slumber.
It seemed like centuries had passed since he fell asleep until he suddenly woke up. He was at a loss and couldn't even remember where he was.
After sorting out his thoughts and transitioning from dream to reality, he suddenly slapped his head, shouted "Oops", arranged his clothes randomly, turned around and walked out.
Yu Qingcheng had just gotten up and was washing up. When he saw him hurrying out, he smiled at him and said, "What, Commander Ling, are you awake?"
Ling Yun asked: "When is this?"
Yu Qingcheng said: "It's early, it's just past Chen time."
Chenshi? Does that mean it's already the next morning? How could it take me so long?
Thinking that seven or eight hours had passed since yesterday afternoon, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel very upset.
He said "Hi!" bitterly. It seemed that he had forgotten to ask why he was drunk yesterday, and he also forgot to greet Yu Qingcheng and say goodbye. He just walked towards the door without looking back, his feet flying. go.
Yu Qingcheng didn't say much, and just motioned for Zhou Shen to open the door for him.
As soon as Shen arrived in the courtyard on Wednesday, he heard the door of the courtyard banging, and the noise was like thunder.
Shen hurriedly opened the door on Wednesday. But standing at the door was Yuan Ping and several Lu Mansion guards.
Yuan Ping asked immediately: "Is Commander Ling here?"
Before Wednesday Shen had time to answer, Ling Yun had already walked out and said, "Yes."
When Yuan Ping saw him, he couldn't help being surprised and happy, and then complained: "Brother Ling, you said you didn't say hello in advance when you went out, which made it easy for us to find you. We thought you..."
Ling Yun said: "You thought I was dead, didn't you?"
Yuan Ping said: "Hey, how can you say such depressing words? Let's go quickly, Mr. Lu is impatient."
Ling Yun and Yuan Ping left the silk and satin shop in a hurry and returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice; they hurried to the study to see Lu Wenzheng.
Lu Wenzheng sat upright and severely asked Ling Yun why he didn't say hello in advance when he went out yesterday, and why he stayed out all night and delayed his official business?
Ling Yun had no choice but to tell the truth: "Yu Qing made an urgent appointment with me. I thought there must be something urgent. I originally planned to go and come. But unexpectedly, I fell asleep after just one glass of wine and didn't wake up until this morning..."
Lu Wenzheng sneered: "It's not that you're sleepy, but that you're drunk! Huh, the fugitive has not been caught, and the case is still unclear. How long has it been since you said this? You are still drinking and having fun, sleeping among flowers and willows. How is that?"
"Sir," Ling Yun wanted to explain but didn't know how to speak, so he simply said nothing.
Lu Wenzheng pondered for a moment, then said earnestly: "Commander Ling, please remember this sentence: beauty is a disaster! The proprietress of this silk and satin shop is not a follower of the rules. If you have nothing to do, it is best to have less contact with her, so as not to be deceived by her and cause trouble for her. .”
Ling Yun has always respected Mr. Lu and regarded him as his father and brother's mentor; but what Mr. Lu just said made him somewhat disapproving.
But he couldn't face the rebuttal directly, so he could only respond in a low voice: "Yes."
Ling Yun retreated from Lu Wenzheng's study and returned to Baiyunxuan depressed.
Lu Wenzheng's words just now echoed in his ears, and Yu Qingcheng's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.
He couldn't deny that Lu Wenzheng's teachings were wrong; but he didn't believe it - at least he couldn't emotionally admit that Yu Qingcheng would be that bad woman.
Yes, she may be more free and easy, but is she really the kind of woman who confuses people and misleads her children?
Besides, he had never done anything deviant with her; so he never thought that he had done anything wrong.
Originally, the relationship between myself and Yu Qingcheng was just a normal relationship.
Mrs. Ruan came in from outside at this time and asked him with concern why he didn't come back last night. He was also absent-minded, doing everything he wanted to say.
Mrs. Ruan didn't say much when she saw this, she just asked Linglong to bring him food.
Huanyu went out without saying a word, and quickly brought the food and wine, placing them heavily on the table. From the action of placing the dishes, it was obvious that she was unhappy.
Ling Yun asked strangely: "Linglong, what's wrong with you?"
Huanyu didn't answer.
Ling Yun said: "Who made you angry?"
Huanyu shouted angrily: "You!"
Ling Yun was startled and said: "Me?"
Huanyu glanced at him and went out without looking back.
Ling Yun looked at her back in surprise and asked his mother: "Mom, what happened to Linglong?"
Mrs. Ruan said: "You really don't understand?"
Ling Yun said: "How can I understand her thoughts? This girl has been mysterious and unpredictable from the beginning."
Mrs. Ruan sighed and said: "Oh, this is called the authorities who are confused, but the bystanders are clear."
Ling Yun said: "Mom, please don't play riddles with me, okay? I've even confused you."
Mrs. Ruan said: "She is angry about what happened to you last night!"
Ling Yun asked curiously: "What happened to me last night? What made her angry?"
Mrs. Ruan said: "You are such a smart kid, but you are so confused! Didn't you see that Linglong likes you? She is jealous of what happened to you last night!"
Ling Yun was angry and laughed when he heard this, "Hey, what kind of jealousy does she have? Besides, I didn't do anything last night!"
Mrs. Ruan said: "I haven't done anything yet. I stayed at that woman's place all night..."
Ling Yun said helplessly: "Mother."
Mrs. Ruan said earnestly: "Zhichao, listen to me, you are old enough to start a family and start a business. If you find a suitable person and hire him, you will be able to settle your worries about being a mother.
"But this is not the case for a woman like Yu Qingcheng: she is a widow, not to mention her husband; she is also seductive and debauched, and there are many men who have been ruined by her hands.
"Let's just talk about the loyal and upright scholar Wen Bingqiu a few months ago. Because of her, both the lives of mother and son were involved! Alas, this woman is a disaster!"
Unexpectedly, even his mother would treat Yu Qingcheng like this, so Ling Yun simply said nothing.
Mrs. Ruan said again: "Mom is someone who has been here before and is always more knowledgeable than you. Zhichao, what do you think of this girl Linglong?"
Ling Yun had heard his mother's intention and said disapprovingly: "What's the point? I just think she's a bit unpredictable."
Mrs. Ruan said: "It's a little bit, but I think this girl is pretty good."
Ling Yun said: "Mom, can we not talk about this for now?"
Mrs. Ruan sighed: "If you don't like her, my mother has chosen a girl for you."
Ling Yun said absently: "Who is it?"
