With no choice but to do so, Lu Qiuyue finally agreed to marry Ding Jiying against her will.
On this day, she was wandering alone in the back garden sadly, and accidentally met Ling Yun who was leaning on a small railing and sitting on a stone bench for a nap, so she walked up to him.
"Brother Ling, why did you come here? Aren't you always in the Junma Mansion...?..."
It turned out that in the past few days, she had learned about Ling Yun's recent situation from the girls Caiming and Xiu Ming, so she asked this question.
It was only later that she realized that her question was a bit abrupt, so she swallowed and omitted the word "recuperate".
What kind of person is Ling Yun? He knows the elegant meaning of Xian's song and understands the underlying meaning of her words as soon as he hears it.
His clear eyes turned, and he smiled casually and said: "Due to some delays some time ago, I haven't been to the house for a long time; I came here today to hand over some affairs, and I happened to meet the young lady here. "
"So that's it." Lu Qiuyue said "oh" to express her understanding.
She lowered her eyelids sadly and said hoarsely: "I know everything about you."
"I also know what happened to you." Ling Yun turned his back, staring blankly at the colorful and boring scenery in the distance with a pair of absent-minded eyes, and said numbly: "It's a pity that I can't help you now."
Lu Qiuyue's eyes were gloomy, and a sad smile appeared on her lips, "This is all God's will, no one can help me..."
Ling Yun didn't speak, he just looked at the green water under the bridge and the falling flowers with a sad look on his face.
Lu Qiuyue also looked at the person in front of her silently.
His sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the faint loneliness between his eyebrows made people couldn't help but feel heartache for him. His thin and weak shoulders looked more like a lonely and helpless child; the petals above his head fluttered down one after another, covering him. black hair.
At that moment, a suspicion suddenly arose in her heart. Could it be that this person was the mighty, heroic, perfect but imperfect hero of the past who was praised by the world as "the best sword in the world"?
The boldness of the past and the paleness of today formed a sharp contrast. What made him like this? Is it the accumulation of years, ruthless reality, bumpy experiences, or...
After a long moment of silence, Lu Qiuyue finally broke the silence in front of her, "Brother Ling, is your injury better?"
Ling Yun nodded slightly.
Lu Qiuyue said: "Do you know the whereabouts of Sister Lian?"
Ling Yun seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and his body trembled violently; he lowered his head with a gloomy expression, "Not yet. I'm sorry for her, it's all me who hurt her!"
Lu Qiuyue said: "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This matter can't be entirely your fault!"
Ling Yun said sadly: "But I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me..."
Lu Qiuyue lowered her eyebrows and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Ling, I shouldn't have made you sad by saying these things."
Ling Yun said: "No. So many things have happened, and I am indeed in pain and hesitation. But what is more painful to me is that I can't find anyone to talk to about my pain. And now I finally found someone to whom I can talk to my heart. People—for me, this is the only thing that I can be happy about these days."
At this point, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, giving him a bleak smile.
Lu Qiuyue's eye circles turned red, and a thin layer of mist rose up in her eyes, and she said clearly: "Brother Ling, now we are really in the same boat."
Ling Yun was silent. His calm face was as calm as water at this time, with no hint of inner turmoil, no sadness or joy, and a complete indifference.
Lu Qiuyue said: "Brother Ling, I used to be unruly and willful. Please forgive me for whatever I have offended."
Ling Yun said: "Why did Miss Lu say this?"
Lu Qiuyue's gloomy eyes suddenly flashed with a twinkling light, "Do you still remember that time, when I disguised myself as a woman and stole into the Marquis's Mansion? I got into trouble and was punished by my father, so I took out my anger on you. And I beat you with a stick - well, thinking about it now, I was really too willful at that time!"
Ling Yun said: "It's all in the past, why do you still bring it up, Miss?"
However, Lu Qiuyue couldn't stop her emotions and continued: "Another time, Caiming and I wanted to sneak out of the house to go to the theater, but we didn't have a token, so we had to ask you for help, but you deliberately avoided seeing me.
"Later I finally found you, but Yuan Ping came again. I had no choice but to hide in your closet..." As she said this, a smile appeared on her face, but the smile was And so sad.
Ling Yun said sadly: "Miss, stop talking."
Lv Qiuyue sang affectionately: "The reverie is like a flower person, listening to the sound of the years is blocked by the dust. Things are like people, but the heart is broken, and the dream is on Fangzhou Road..." (Cai Shen [Bu Shuzi]) Her face was filled with tears as she spoke.
Listening to her sad chanting, Ling Yun felt his eyes tightening, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.
Lu Qiuyue frowned slightly, hesitated and said: "Brother Ling, I have something to ask you for help, can you promise me?"
"you say."
Lu Qiuyue said quietly: "My father once promised me to let Jiang Chun go after I married Ding Jiying, but I still can't worry about this matter - Brother Ling, can you promise me to help him leave here safely?"
Ling Yun frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "Okay, Miss, I promise you, I will do my best to protect him and strive to live up to your trust - unless... I die!... "
Lu Qiuyue's heart trembled, "Brother Ling, you must not say such things! I believe in your character and ability to deal with things. As long as you help me, I will be relieved."
At this point, her expression suddenly changed, she leaned down and covered her mouth tightly with a handkerchief, and started to vomit.
Ling Yun was startled, "Miss, you...what's wrong with you?..."
Lu Qiuyue was speechless, her face was pale, even her lips were pale, and her delicate body was trembling, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
She frowned, feeling nauseous, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, which made her look extremely uncomfortable.
Although he had experienced strong winds and waves, and was used to the joys and sorrows of separation and separation, Ling Yun was momentarily panicked when faced with such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation.
"Miss, I'm going to find a doctor for you right now!..." He paused for a moment, finally regained his composure, figured out what he urgently needed to do, stood up quickly, turned around and left.
Lu Qiuyue grabbed him at this time and said intermittently: "Brother Ling, you...you must not go...Actually, I am not sick..."
Ling Yun looked at her in surprise.
Lu Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her face calmed down a little. She hesitated and said in a voice that she could hardly hear: "Actually, I have been... pregnant with him for two months. Bones and blood..."
Although her voice was extremely subtle, Ling Yun, who had profound attainments and keen hearing, could still hear her clearly.
He was stunned for a moment, and his dark jade-like eyes widened in disbelief, "What?..."
Lu Qiuyue did not answer, she just lowered her eyelids and remained silent. There was a brief silence between the two.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Qiuyue raised her head with some difficulty, bit her lip gently and said, "Brother Ling, please promise me not to tell anyone else about this matter, okay?"
Ling Yun's clear eyes flashed slightly, and he said expressionlessly: "Who else knows about this matter?"
Lu Qiuyue turned her face away and said softly: "Besides me and Jiang Chun, there is only you. Brother Ling, please, please don't tell this matter, especially my parents, and they must never let it happen." They know, okay?”
Looking at Lu Qiuyue's almost begging eyes, Ling Yun couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He could only nodded silently...
Suddenly Ling Yun's sharp eyes turned and he looked behind the bushes and said, "Who is it? Who is there?"
At this moment, a figure flashed from behind the bushes, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and dressed as a girl walked out slowly. She lowered her hands respectfully and said timidly: "Master Ma, I am a slave."
Ling Yun's face instantly turned black, and there was a cold breath all over his body. He pursed his thin lips tightly, and the words he spat out were as cold as a knife edge: "Xiang Yun, what are you doing here?"
Looking at the stern look on the Commander's part, Xiangyun felt a chill rush down her spine to the top of her head. She lowered her head in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "The Commander has been out for so long, the Commander is very grateful." I was worried, so I sent my slave over to have a look."
Ling Yun said: "How long have you been here?"
Xiangyun lowered her eyebrows and said: "I have just come here. Because I saw you talking to Miss Lu, I was afraid of disturbing your pleasure, so I didn't dare to come over. Lord Ma, you see the princess is waiting in the mansion. I’m already a little anxious, do you want to go back?”
Ling Yun raised his sword eyebrows and said coldly: "Don't let her interfere with my affairs. Just go back."
Seeing Ling Yun's cold look, Xiang Yun's heart was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more. She just responded and turned around in panic.
Seeing this, Lu Qiuyue had no intention of saying anything more; she slowly stood up and said, "Brother Ling, I'm going back first. Don't forget what you promised me."
Ling Yun nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Miss. Whatever I promise you, Ling Yun will never break his promise!"
Lu Qiuyue glanced at Ling Yun with watery eyes and smiled happily in return...
Lu Qiuyue returned to her residence again. During the period before her marriage, she still lived in the former embroidery building.
The scene was so sad that she couldn't help but burst into tears. For several days in a row, I couldn't sleep at night, I was too lazy to eat and drink, and I became haggard and emaciated.
One day at lunchtime, Caiming and Xiu Ming led Mrs. Lu's eldest girl Lanhua over and brought her a bowl of steaming ginseng soup.
Lanhua said with a smile: "Miss, tonight's ginseng soup was cooked by my wife herself. It is excellent for regulating the body and replenishing qi and blood. Drink it while it's hot!"
