The moment his voice fell, Bai Shan took action. A round stone with the power of piercing the air, brushed Su Yu's hair and hit the man in black on the wrist.
The man in black groaned and softened his wrist.
Su Yu immediately seized the opportunity and ran towards Cui Ling. She was so panicked that she couldn't care about anything else. She grabbed his arm and hid behind him, sticking close to him, with tears of fear overflowing from her eyes.
"cousin……"
Cui Ling protected her behind him in a protective manner, and his voice was soft and comforting: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Su Yu survived the disaster, her legs were weak, and she relied on Cui Ling's arm to support her from sliding to the ground. She suppressed her sobs: "I was scared to death..."
"never mind."
Su Yu changed from holding Cui Ling's arm to holding his waist. Her body was shaking slightly, obviously she still hadn't gotten over the shock just now.
Cui Ling moved her fingertips twice, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and touched Su Yu's head, like stroking a little raccoon slave she had raised when she was a child.
Seeing this scene, the man in black clothes next to him raised his eyebrows slightly and waved to let the masked man in black clothes go down.
I don't know how long it took, but Su Yu's crying turned into small sobs. She lay in Cui Ling's arms and wiped away her tears. She raised her head with red eyes.
Those eyes looked like they had been washed with water, clear and moist, but they were as red as a rabbit.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
Cui Ling couldn't help but touched her head again: "It was a misunderstanding, it's over."
"Misunderstand?"
Su Yu looked back carefully. The man in black who attacked her was gone, and her shoulders relaxed suddenly.
When he looked away, he suddenly glanced at the man in black clothes beside him.
The clothes of the same color look like another masked man in black.
Su Yu was so frightened that she buried her head in Cui Ling's arms again and hugged him tightly, her body trembling slightly.
Then she heard a chuckle with a clear voice: "Hanzhang, am I that scary?"
Cui Ling also smiled a little: "She is timid."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Su Yu realized that she had misunderstood. Her head buried in Cui Ling's arms moved, and she carefully poked out one eye to see clearly the appearance of the person beside her.
He is as handsome from the front as from the side, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His aura is upright and steady. He is serious when not smiling, cheerful and high-spirited when smiling.
I don't know if it was Su Yu's illusion, but the man in front of her looked very much like the eldest prince.
Relying on the protection of Cui Ling, Su Yu looked at the man openly.
The man was not annoyed, he didn't care for Cui Ling's sake, and he was still interested in watching the excitement. Who didn't know that the eldest son of the Cui family, Cui Hanzhang, looked as cool as a light cloud and unattainable in the snow, actually There was also a day when I held a woman and coaxed her gently, which was really strange.
However, he couldn't stay too long, so he could only regretfully give up this opportunity to learn about Cui Ling's gossip.
Looking at Cui Ling, he turned and left.
He believed Cui Ling could handle the rest.
The moment he turned around, the expression on the man's face suddenly became dull and lifeless. Obviously, everything remained the same, but the feeling was completely different.
After watching him leave, Su Yu slowly withdrew from Cui Ling's arms.
Even the most obtuse person would notice something was wrong.
There is no doubt that Cui Ling and that man knew each other. The man in black who wanted to knock her out was that man's subordinate. Why did he want to knock her out? It could only be that these two people did not want to be seen by others when they met.
Thinking of this, Su Yu looked at Cui Ling anxiously: "Cousin, have I caused trouble for you?"
Cui Ling reassured, "No."
Not to mention trouble.
"Just don't tell others what happened today."
Su Yu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, cousin, I won't tell anyone else."
Cui Ling nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Zen room to have a rest."
After this incident, she must have been frightened. It would be better not to involve her in the future.
Su Yu obediently agreed and listened to him and went back to rest. However, as soon as she took a step, her feet felt weak and she was as weak as noodles.
He happened to fall into Cui Ling's arms.
Su Yu's face suddenly turned red, and her voice was crying with shame: "Cousin, my, my legs are weak..."
I was so frightened that my legs were weak and I couldn't walk. I felt so ashamed and embarrassed about this incident.
Baishan couldn't hold back his laughter, and the next second he received an expressionless glance from his young master, strangled him by the throat, and suppressed his laughter halfway.
Baishan: "..."
Cui Ling thought for a while, then bent down and picked up Su Yu.
Suddenly flying into the air, Su Yu was startled. When she realized what he had done, she quickly refused: "Cousin, isn't this bad?"
"do not move."
Cui Ling explained slowly: "Don't worry, no one will come here. I'll let Baishan watch and let you down when you get close to the Zen room."
Just turned the corner.
"..."
Silence, silence, silence.
In addition to silence, Su Yu also heard a slap in the face.
Facing them, Lin Jinse, the eldest lady, Mrs. Lin's wife, and Cui Yue arrived.
The scene was extremely quiet for a while.
Su Yu felt embarrassed for Cui Ling.
On the other hand, Cui Ling, despite being stunned for a moment at the beginning, his expression quickly returned to normal and he was calm and collected.
"Mother, Mrs. Lin."
Strictly implement the wise saying "As long as I am not embarrassed, you will be embarrassed."
Lin Jinse woke up from a dream and pointed at the two people opposite her with tears in her eyes: "Brother Hanzhang, you..."
Mrs. Lin frowned.
The eldest lady couldn't help complaining that her son was unreliable. At first he said he was unwilling to give Su Yu as his concubine, but now he hugged her in public and chose today.
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you put him down quickly?"
The eldest lady asked the maid to help Su Yu down: "Is your foot injured? Hanzhang, you are serious. Even if you are kind-hearted, you should have a certain limit. There are differences between men and women. Why don't you ask the maid to come over and help you?"
The eldest lady winked at them as she spoke, and even found a reason.
Su Yu pulled Cui Ling and asked him to put her down.
Understanding what the eldest lady meant, she took the maid's hand and breathed in quietly as soon as her right foot touched the ground: "Madam, don't blame my cousin, it's my fault. I walked too carelessly and twisted my foot accidentally. Fortunately, I met my cousin. I thought there were few people here and it would be troublesome to call the maid, so I asked him to take me back. It was my lack of consideration and it has nothing to do with my cousin. I hope the eldest lady can forgive me."
After these words, what needs to be explained has been explained clearly.
The eldest lady's face softened, and she became more fond of Su Yu.
Such a gentle, beautiful, sensible and well-informed woman, who is also closely related to the family, is a suitable concubine for Hanzhang.
Mrs. Lin's face also looked better. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least she looked decent.
Only Lin Jinse didn't believe a word of these words.
The woman's intuition told her that these two people were definitely not as simple as Su Yu said.
But she doesn't have to care. As long as Cui Ling admits that he and Su Yu have nothing to do, she can pretend that she didn't see anything.
Lin Jinse's beautiful and unparalleled face was wet with tears: "Brother Hanzhang, is this true?"
"That's it." Su Yu was afraid that Cui Ling would say something she shouldn't have said, so she rushed to speak, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, nothing really happened between me and my cousin..."
"Shut up."
Lin Jinse interrupted Su Yu, gritted his teeth and glared at her: "Did I ask you?"
Su Yu: "..." Okay, she shut up.
The system appeared faintly and complained in a low voice: [Host, what you just said really sounds like those scheming female leads in idol dramas. 】
Su Yu smiled softly: "Thank you, no need to look like that, I just do." 】
Although she said this to the system, Su Yu swore that there was really no other meaning in that sentence. She was simply explaining it too hastily and without thinking.
Judging from the heroine's expression, it's obvious that she doesn't think so.
A capital letter of injustice was engraved on Su Yu's forehead.
system:【……】
Cui Ling actually didn't quite understand why Lin Jinse had such a seductive tone, and why he had to explain to her?
Mother, Mrs. Lin, and Su Yu all had strange attitudes.
Mr. Cui, who was unaware of his mother's plans and was very emotionally slow, was puzzled. He vaguely thought of some clues, but they disappeared in an instant, like sand that could not be grasped and slipped from his hands.
Finally, he frowned and looked at Lin Jinse, feeling that he should make the matter clear.
"Miss Lin, let's talk."
