The night wind blows slowly and the branches sway.
The young man holding the window sill only had his head exposed. Under his long eyebrows, his moist black eyes showed true sadness and confusion.
It's like a brother who feels sad after being suddenly ignored by his sister.
He and Fu Wenzhang are twins, but even people who are not familiar with them will not mistake these two people.
Fu Wenzhang would rather die than show such a pitiful and begging expression.
The girl in the window was wearing plain white pajamas, which fit tightly against her slender neck, not revealing a trace of her youthful beauty. Her shoulders were round and thin, like a piece of paper without edges.
Her back was turned to the shining candlelight, her beautiful face was silent in the dark night, Fu Wenci could feel that she was looking at him.
Lingchan stared at him, "Because you did something you shouldn't have done."
Fu Wenci was furious, "I don't mean to scold you! I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that my brother will hear gossip from others and misunderstand you!"
"you are lying."
Brother and sister, childhood sweethearts, have grown up together, and who doesn’t know who the other is?
Lingchan knew all the little tricks Fu Wenci made when he lied; Fu Wenci understood the messy little emotions behind Lingchan's sweet smile.
Lingchan exposed him: "You know I'm waiting for you there. You deliberately wanted me to hear those words today. Do you agree with those words?"
Words that insulted her, words that rebuked her.
"Do you want your brother to agree with you?"
"You used to only call me brother." Fu Wenci suddenly said.
The relationship between three people is always distant and distant. Fu Wenzhang was arrogant and never spoke pretentiously to anyone, so Lingchan always called him "brother" with kindness and politeness.
Only when facing himself, would he erase the politeness and call "brother" affectionately.
Fu Wenci spent countless late nights rejoicing at such a blatant preference.
He never thought that this favoritism would fall on others.
Lingchan looked away. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and remained silent.
Fu Wenci then understood what she meant.
Lingchan didn't want to discuss these meaningless things.
He suppressed his inappropriate sourness and continued to defend himself.
"Of course I won't agree with those words that insult you," Fu Wenci took a deep breath and calmed down, "I just think you are the cutest little girl in the world. Who can refuse you? Who can not love you?"
"But who do you love?"
Fu Wenci stared at the side face of the girl Juanli, his heart ached, and his voice was weak, "You don't like me and my brother, and Prince An can't satisfy you. Are you going to provoke the emperor?"
"You already have so many people loving you, don't you think it's enough?"
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ] The system screamed: [He saw it! It's overturned! 】
"Not enough." Lingchan's voice was calm.
Her side face was cold and hard, blurred into a ball in the bronze mirror, and the love and hate in her eyes could not be seen clearly.
"Prince An used me as a tool to overthrow the prince, the prince used me to demonstrate the power of the prince, and the emperor used me as a plaything..."
"They were all taking advantage of me and no one loved me."
Fu Wenci wanted to retort, "I love you!" He blurted out his true words.
Ling Chanqi stepped forward and covered his mouth. Fu Wenci could see her wet eyelashes and the bright and broken moon reflected in her dark pupils, "Do you love me?"
"But you induced my brother to say something that would hurt me. You knew I was listening, but you still did things to make me sad."
"Do you have a hand in the rumors that are flying all over the sky now? Those messages are very clear, and the details are clear. I didn't understand it at first, but you said you saw it all... No wonder the details of the messages are clear. Woolen cloth."
"Is this how you love me?"
"Do you feel happy when you see others belittling me and insulting me?"
"Is this your love?"
"It's so ugly, I don't want it."
Lingchan pulled her hand away, pushed him hard, and was about to close the window.
Fu Wenci hurriedly grabbed her hand, "I'm not, I didn't! I said that to my brother just because I hope you can like me more! I didn't spread rumors about you!"
Lingchan didn't even raise her head and just said: "Let go."
Fu Wenci already felt like he was split into two halves. The other half felt that the pleading and entangled posture was sad and ugly.
The other half was crying and holding on to Lingchan's sleeves, not wanting to let go no matter what.
——Please, don’t go, please, look at me again...
"Seeing you makes me sick."
"...It's not me," Fu Wenci let go of his hand and gritted his teeth, "I will prove it to you."
My love is by no means a dirty thing.
Fu Wenci stumbled back to his yard.
He was lying on the bed, his mind filled with Lingchan's indifferent profile, "What's the use of loving her or not, brother, don't be too naive."
"In the palace, no matter the sincerity, only the interests are considered."
His sister, his cute and well-behaved sister, had been away from him for less than a year... and it turned out like this?
Concubine Shu, the Queen, the Prince, Prince An... what did these people do to her?
…
The next day.
Fu Wenzhang picked up a cricket, asked about the places where dandies in the capital often entertained cats and dogs, and walked out slowly.
Marquis Xuanwei was angry, "It's only been a few days? You're not doing anything serious!"
Mrs. Fu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "The child is not young anymore. He has his own ideas, so please don't worry about it."
Two hours later.
"Sir, madam, something bad has happened! The eldest young master beat the eldest son of Li Shangshu's family so hard! His legs were broken! Li Shangshu's people are blocking the door of our house now, saying that they want to ask you for a favor. statement!"
Marquis Xuanwei:?
Mrs. Fu couldn't swallow a sip of tea and started coughing.
Lingchan patted Mrs. Fu on the back to cheer her up and said, "Brother is not a reckless person. Is there any hidden secret in this?"
Before Mrs. Fu could say anything, another boy rushed in from outside the door, gasping for breath: "Shilang Zhang's people are also here to demand justice! They said that their young master's legs were broken by the eldest master! He was carried home by someone, saying that he must give an explanation today, even if he has served the country well, he cannot be so arrogant and unscrupulous!"
As soon as the words fell, the next one came to report urgently: "There is also the young master Lu Shizhong! His nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and his appearance is broken! He said that the madam must bring the eldest son to the door to apologize! Otherwise, he will be severely punished in front of His Majesty. Please take a copy of this book!"
"The Shen family is here too! They said they have entered the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen, and they will never let this go easily!"
One after another, the spacious hall was soon filled with more than a dozen boys reporting messages.
It can be seen how many people are blocking the door of the Hou Mansion, asking for an explanation.
Marquis Xuanwei was stunned and turned to Madam Fu, "Madam, what do you think we should do about this?"
Mrs. Fu narrowed her eyes and looked at Lingchan, "Do you know what's going on?"
Lingchan bit her lip and whispered: "Mother, don't blame brother."
The system laughed in her mind: [Tell them to program you! Tell them to slander you! They all deserve to be beaten! 】
