"Mrs. Li, why do you need to pretend to be confused? Isn't Li Ruiyun trying to catch me everywhere? Now that I've thrown myself into a trap, can't you just catch me and hand me over to him?"
It can be said that Ling Yun left the dragon pool and entered the tiger's den again, accidentally entering Mengyunxuan, the outer residence of Qinglong Villa. Facing Li Ruiyun's wife Ding Mengxuan, he raised his eyebrows and sneered.
Ding Mengxuan raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the other party indifferently, and said slowly: "Your words woke me up. I should have arrested you and handed you over to Li Ruiyun for reward, but -"
She paused briefly at this point, "Before handing you over to Li Ruiyun, Ling Yun, do you need to settle the old accounts between you and me first?"
Ling Yun's heart trembled and he stared at her blankly.
Ding Mengxuan's eyes were gloomy and full of overwhelming resentment, "It was you who colluded with the people from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment and set up a scheme to deceive me into testifying in court, thus killing my Xiang Luo; it was you too. On my wedding night, I conspired with others to assassinate my husband, causing me to become a widow overnight...
"Then you colluded with Princess Changqing, causing my fetus to miscarry, which made me miserable - do you think I can forget such a deep hatred? It's true that things have changed, and today you finally fell into my hands, Ling Yun, with such a deep hatred. If you don’t report it now, when will you wait?”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Murderous intent suddenly appeared in her eyes. She raised her hand and grabbed the sword from Qi Yu's hand. The long sword was unsheathed, and with a flash of cold light, she stabbed Ling Yun in the chest!
Although Ling Yun was suffering from internal injuries and was exhausted at this time, he was still able to move freely and should be able to easily dodge the sword.
But his figure remained motionless, just watching the opponent's long sword touch her heart, and the cold look in his eyes made her feel cold and desolate.
When Ding Mengxuan's cold sword tip touched the front of his clothes, he couldn't help but paused, "You...why don't you hide?"
Ling Yun's face was filled with frustration and he said nothing.
Ding Mengxuan said: "Why don't you explain?..."
Ling Yun said: "Is this necessary? There may have been many misunderstandings between Mrs. Li and me in the past; but after many years, I believe that all the truth has become clear, because time will prove everything, and justice will be at ease. Mrs. Li understands the righteousness deeply. , Bingxue is smart, and now he knows the right and wrong clearly, do you need me to explain anything more?"
When he said these words, his tone was smooth, without any fluctuation; it was obviously a feather-like texture, but it made her feel a pain like a knife or an ax in her heart.
Ding Mengxuan was stunned for a moment, his whole body suddenly trembled, tears fell unconsciously, he covered his face and began to sob.
She calmed down, turned to Qiyu and said, "You go out and guard first. If anything happens, come and report to me immediately."
Saitama responded softly, lowered his eyebrows and went out. There were only two people in the room, Ling Yun and Ding Mengxuan.
Ding Mengxuan lowered his eyes sadly and said sadly: "You are right. I know everything now, but what's the use? What can a weak woman like me change? People say, 'Marry a chicken and follow the chicken' , Marry a dog and follow the dog, alas! I have no choice but to accept my fate..."
After talking about it, she clenched her teeth tightly and almost endured the soreness in her throat and swallowed forcefully.
Ling Yun also felt sad, and after a while he said: "Can I take the liberty of asking Madam something?"
Ding Mengxuan said: "Please speak."
Ling Yun hesitated for a moment, considered the words and said slowly: "That time at the Marquis's Mansion, the Madam's master and servant suddenly disappeared. Did they go to Qinglong Villa and follow... Li Ruiyun since then?"
Ding Mengxuan's expression was blank for a moment, as if something had broken apart, making no sound. She was silent for a long time, and when she spoke again, she was calm.
"That's right. After encountering many disasters in the Marquis' Mansion, Qiyu and I were kidnapped and brought here by Ying Chuanlin. At that time, I couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that after going through many disasters, I finally found my true love and happiness. ——Who knew that all this was false!...
"Not only that, but he himself is completely fake. He has been lying to me all the time. He is not the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion at all, he is just a fake..."
Ling Yun felt his heart surge and thoughts abound. He didn't know what to say at the moment, so he just sighed softly.
Ding Mengxuan's black eyes were full of broken waves. He looked straight into Ling Yun's eyes and lowered his voice: "Commander Ling, I want to ask you something now. Can you answer me truthfully?"
"What's up?"
"Are you...are you really the eldest son of Lord Marquis?" Her tone was extremely serious, almost speaking out through her teeth.
Ling Yun was shocked by every word he heard, because these words had deeply touched his pain point. He twitched in pain, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
Ding Mengxuan was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said: "Commander Ling, you...what's wrong with you?...Are you okay?"
Ling Yun gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy..."
Ding Mengxuan looked at his weak look, suddenly realized something, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, Commander Ling, I shouldn't have asked this... and I was also negligent. You must have not eaten for a few days, and He was also seriously injured..."
With that said, she walked to the door and told Saitama to prepare the meal first.
After Ling Yun had eaten, he felt that his physical strength had recovered somewhat; then Ding Mengxuan ordered Qiyu to prepare hot water and fragrant soup for him to bathe and change clothes.
Ling Yun knew that with his current miserable state, it was time for him to repair himself.
I weakly immersed my tired body into the warm water, and instantly felt like myself again, and my whole body immediately felt much more relaxed and comfortable.
The water droplets slid down his narrow eyebrows, swirled around the collarbone, and then flowed slowly along the smooth lines of his body, filled with an evil and soft light. He couldn't help but raise his head slightly and let out a breath.
The soft and thin waves of the water teased his strong and toned muscles without any clues, and at the same time stimulated the pain in his wounds inch by inch. From the inside out, there were waves of heartbreaking pain.
His heart was like a slowly sliding water, sinking in little by little. In a trance, scenes from the past appeared before my eyes like a flash of electricity.
Full of hope, he returned home to seek help from his parents...his father betrayed him to his enemies with his own hands...the double physical and mental abuse in the cell...he detonated the trap in Mr. Lu's study, hoping to die with Tianxiao's people...
He had made up his mind to bury all the painful memories, as well as the so-called affection between his parents, in the ruins of memory forever; but why, the more he wanted to forget, the clearer the heart-wrenching past became in his mind. Like a lingering nightmare?
Hopelessness spreads, cracking in silence. At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. The pain was as if someone had pinched his heart tightly in his hands, squeezed and rubbed it repeatedly, and gradually broke into a ball of dripping blood...
After bathing, he put on the clothes Saitama had prepared for him, tidied up his appearance and attire, and walked out.
Ding Mengxuan and Qiyu were still waiting for him in the original room.
Seeing Ling Yun come in, Qiyu's eyes flickered, looking at him with a sense of inquiry.
Ling Yun felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Qiyu shook his head, covered his mouth and smiled: "I was thinking, there was no magic elixir in the fragrant bathing soup I prepared for Commander Ling just now. Why did he seem to be a different person as soon as he finished washing? He was still like a different person just now. He looks like a beggar, but in the blink of an eye he turns into a handsome and handsome man!"
Ding Mengxuan glared at her and said, "Qiyu, what are you talking about?..."
Saitama realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Ling Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said with some self-deprecation: "Actually, Miss Saitama is right, I was really more embarrassed than a beggar just now. If I hadn't met you, let alone a beggar, I might not even be able to save my life!"
Ding Mengxuan sighed lowly and said nothing.
After being silent for a long time, Ding Mengxuan suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Li Ruiyun has a lot of spies outside, so it's not safe for Commander Ling to stay here; and Li Ruiyun might come over at any time, so Commander Ling must change his place."
Ling Yun nodded and said: "Mrs. Li is right. Thank you to Mrs. Li and Miss Qiyu for saving your life. Ling Yun will leave here soon."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Ding Mengxuan and Qiyu, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ding Mengxuan quickly took a step forward and grabbed his hand, blurting out: "Wait!..."
Ling Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, "Mrs. Li, do you have any other instructions?"
Ding Mengxuan said: "There are Li Ruiyun's spies and people arresting you everywhere outside, and you are still injured, where can you go? Besides, even if Commander Ling really wants to leave, he will have to wait until night when no one will notice. It's time; it's broad daylight, if you walk out like this, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Only then did he notice that his hand and Ding Mengxuan's soft, plain hand had been tightly clasped together, and he couldn't help but look awkward and cough uncomfortably.
Ding Mengxuan also realized that he had lost his composure at this time, and immediately retracted his hand in a panic as if he was electrocuted. Two flushes appeared on Ruyu's cheeks, and he hung his head helplessly.
There was a moment of stasis in the room.
Saitama looked at the awkward look of the two people from the side, and couldn't help but move his eyebrows slightly and pursed his lips into a smile.
Ding Mengxuan raised his eyes slightly, gave her a fierce look and said, "Damn girl, why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I just want to laugh in my heart!..." Qiyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said with a full smile.
"By the way," her crystal eyes turned, and she suddenly remembered something, "I was just talking, and I forgot that there is Tremella and lotus seed soup stewed on the stove outside. I'll go take a look first."
As he spoke, he bowed to the two of them and turned around in a hurry.
"Oh, this girl has been laughing and joking like this all day long, and she's totally out of tune..." Looking at Qiyu's back happily walking away, Ding Mengxuan sighed helplessly and turned to Ling Yun.
"It's nothing." Ling Yunruo smiled nonchalantly, taking advantage of the situation to break the deadlock and bring the topic down to business, "In Madam's opinion, what should I do about what I just said?"...
