Ling Yun faced the resentment and provocation of Princess Huan Yu and chose to leave.
He pondered for a while, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Mother, I thought about it all night last night, and I think it's better for me... to leave here!..."
Princess Chang Qing's face slowly darkened, "What, you want to leave again?..."
Ling Yun said silently: "I have been in a really bad mood during this period. I am depressed, depressed, and bored. Now I just want to go out and relax, seek some stimulation, and change my environment and way of life.
"Traveling around the world may be a pleasant relief for me now. As the saying goes, a man has his ambitions everywhere. Mother, please fulfill my wishes!"
His tone was calm, but underneath his words there seemed to be an undercurrent of a storm slowly surging.
Princess Chang Qing looked at Ling Yun's face silently, tears falling down again, "Zhichao, you once promised me that from now on we will always be together and enjoy family happiness - you will never leave your mother again. , leave this home again..."
Ling Yun lowered his head and eyes and said nothing.
Princess Chang Qing turned her back and said: "Actually, from the time you came back this time, I knew from what we two said in the room that you still have to leave. This family will not be able to keep you after all..."
Ling Yun's heart couldn't help but twitch in pain, and he trembled: "Mother..."
Princess Chang Qing raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief: "Lin'er, people say that 'a child knows nothing better than his mother' - originally, the person who knows you best here should be your mother. Doesn't your mother still know your thoughts? The reason why you want to leave is to avoid Qi'er and Huanyu - you are afraid that you and Huanyu will be embarrassed if they meet each other, right?"
Ling Yun could only nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Mother, my child is unfilial and can no longer be at your knees to support you. I can no longer help you with your daily life. Please forgive me, mother."
Princess Chang Qing said: "Lin'er, are you really determined to leave?"
Ling Yun bit his lip and nodded resolutely.
Princess Chang Qing knew very well that Ling Yun's character was decisive and resolute, but anything he decided could never be changed. Thinking of this, she felt an unprecedented sadness lingering in her heart, and the mist in front of her eyes also filled up, and her chest felt childish. It was so suffocating that even my voice became hoarse.
"Oh God, what evil did I, Chang Qing, do in my previous life? Do you want to punish me like this? For more than 20 years, I have been thinking about it day and night, and finally I have been looking forward to the day when mother and son will meet again. Who would have thought that they would meet just now? We meet, but we have to separate again, why on earth is this?"
Ling Yun smiled softly and said: "Mother, what are you talking about? I just went out to relax and travel. We are only separated for a short time, and we are not going to be separated for life or death. Why do you say it so miserable?"
Princess Chang Qing quickly covered his mouth and said: "Don't say such unlucky words. Remember to come back to see me often when you are away from home. You must be careful in everything. Even if you are delayed sometimes, you must make arrangements. Send a message back from a decent person."
I pity the hearts of parents in the world. Ling Yun felt indescribably moved and uneasy, so he could only nodded silently...
Ling Yun came out from his mother's place and returned to his room to pack his bags. His mind was in a mess and he felt clueless.
At this time, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around and saw Princess Huanyu walking in expressionlessly.
She said nothing, just stood there, looking at him indifferently, her pretty face as cold as ice, looking sharp and small. A few strands of hair on the temples were carelessly brushing against his cheeks, making his face look even paler.
There was a moment of stagnation on Ling Yun's face. He simply turned his face, avoiding her pair of sharp eyes that were so cold and cold that they could almost penetrate his heart and spleen, and looked away blankly.
Huan Yu looked neither sad nor happy, and said in a cold voice: "Are you really going to leave?"
"Yes."
"Is it because of me?"
Ling Yun said nothing, picked up the clothes and sword, and walked out.
"Stop." Huanyu shouted from behind.
Ling Yun had no choice but to stop, "What else do you want?"
Huan Yu said: "Farewell, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ling Yun's black eyes were cold and emotionless, "Is there anything else to say between us?"
"You..." Huanyu stared straight into his eyes, with a look of resentment, hatred, and a bit of sadness.
The two of them faced each other like this, and neither of them spoke for a long time. The air seemed to be stagnant for a moment.
At this time, He Chengqi slowly walked in from the outside; seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, stuck in a dilemma, and froze in place.
Huan Yu turned back coldly, glanced at him impatiently and said, "What are you doing here?"
Her tone was cold, with a mixture of anger and disdain. She was obviously complaining that He Chengqi was so ignorant, not coming early, not coming late, but coming at this time.
He Chengqi couldn't help but blush, lowered his head in frustration, and said nonchalantly: "I...I'm here to practice it to my eldest brother."
Ling Yun watched the awkward interaction between the two people and suddenly wanted to laugh, but couldn't. She couldn't help but slander: "This Huanyu, he is always so arrogant and strong wherever he goes. He is so strong that he can't stand it. It's really unbearable..."
Looking at He Chengqi's embarrassed look, Ling Yun coughed lightly and broke the deadlock, "Cheng Qi, thank you. You and the princess have just gotten married. I wish you love and grow old together."
He finished speaking these words word by word, raised his hands to them, and then walked out without looking back.
He Chengqi looked at Ling Yun's retreating back and just stood there, frozen, with an almost numb look in Rongrong's eyes.
Huan Yu stomped her feet angrily and left angrily...
In Ding Mansion. In the study, Ding Jinzhi, Mrs. Ding, and Ding Jiying looked solemnly and looked at each other speechlessly; Ding Xin, Ding Yi and other close family members also held their breaths and did not dare to say a word.
Having just learned the news of Jiang Chun's death from the housekeeper Ding Yurong, everyone was a little pale; especially Ding Jiying, who almost screamed in shock.
Finally, Ding Jinzhi spoke slowly, "You all, please step back. Remember, do not tell anyone about this matter, especially not let the young lady know about it. If anyone is lax and leaks the news, it will spread to the young lady." In my ears, I will never be lenient!"
Everyone murmured and retreated with their heads lowered.
Only Ding Jinzhi, Mrs. Ding, and Ding Jiying were left in the room. Ding Jiying turned around and said to Ding Jinzhi: "Dad, thank you."
Ding Jinzhi said: "Thank you for what I have done. I am your father. As long as I see you two loving each other and living a harmonious and beautiful life, I will feel relieved as a father."
Ding Jiying nodded and sighed softly.
Mrs. Ding said: "Jiying, is Qiuyue feeling better these days?"
Ding Jiying said solemnly: "It's much better than when I first walked in, but I'm still a little depressed and don't say a word all day long."
Mrs. Ding sighed and said: "What a sin! Jiying, mother really doesn't understand, what is so good about Lu Qiuyue that you like her so much? She is silent all day long, just like a piece of wood; there are many good women in the world Come on, if I don’t do a little more work for you, my mother, I’m sure it will be ten thousand times better than Lu Qiuyue’s.”
Ding Jiying said excitedly: "Mom, please stop talking! No matter what, I only like Qiuyue in this world. If anyone dares to hurt her in the slightest, I will fight him to the death!..." He walked away without looking back. Got out.
Looking at Ding Jiying's retreating back, Ding Jinzhi smiled deeply.
Mrs. Ding complained: "Master, our son has become possessed by a demon because of that woman, why are you still laughing?"
Ding Jinzhi said: "Madam, you still don't know our son well enough."
"Oh?..." Mrs. Ding was confused and stayed for a long time before saying: "Just now you asked them to keep the secret of Jiang Chun's death, but can it be concealed? Paper cannot contain fire..."
Ding Jinzhi smiled deeply: "Then you don't have to worry."
Ding Jiying returned to the room and saw Lu Qiuyue sitting in front of the case, holding a brush and writing something; Caiming and Xiu Ming, two girls, stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
Walking forward to take a look, he saw that what Lu Qiuyue had written on the paper was actually a seven-character quatrain:
Near the cold food rain grass is luxuriant,
The wheat seedlings and wind grass reflect the embankment.
You must remember a good year,
It is the most orange-yellow-orange-green time.
When Ding Jiying saw it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Qiuyue, how did you write this poem? Tang poetry, Song lyrics, spring scenery and autumn mood are all put together. You are really the most talented woman in the world!"
Lu Qiuyue's heart trembled, she smiled bitterly and lowered her head.
Seeing that Lu Qiuyue was depressed and sad, Ding Jiying asked with concern: "Qiuyue, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Qiuyue said silently: "It's nothing... By the way, today I saw the housekeeper hurried to the study to see the master. Did something happen again?"
Ding Jiying was horrified, but smiled calmly on his face: "Something happened in the capital, but it has nothing to do with us."
"What's up?"
Ding Jiying's mind was spinning quickly and he immediately said: "Oh, Princess Huanyu is getting married to my brother Cheng Qi, and the civil and military officials from all over the court are rushing to congratulate her!"
Lu Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, "What, Princess Huanyu and He Chengqi and the others... got married? How could this happen - what about... Ling Yun?..."
Ding Jiying glanced at her speechlessly, "Ling Yun has already broken up with Princess Huanyu, what does this have to do with him?"
Lu Qiuyue was filled with emotion and sighed: "It's really God's will to trick people..."
Ding Jiying said: "My eldest lady, let's stop expressing our emotions about other people's affairs! Let them prepare dinner first. My stomach is growling."
Lu Qiuyue said: "Okay. By the way, Jiying, have you heard any news about Jiang Chun recently?"
Ding Jiying's face changed suddenly; he hurriedly concealed his inner panic with a forced smile, and said if he didn't care: "Not yet, I think he has left the capital! Qiuyue, you don't have to worry, in fact there is no news This is good news, it just shows that Jiang Chun is doing well now."
Lu Qiuyue raised her face, tears welling up in her eyes, "Really?..."
