Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Jiang Qingyue paused for a moment and put down the teapot:

"This is the Prime Minister's family affair, you don't need to tell me."

Ji Yunzhi remained calm: "You said before that we are friends and I can tell you anything."

Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

She did say this.

"Jiang Peilan went to great lengths to marry you. If she knew you wanted a divorce, I'm afraid she wouldn't let it go."

She only found out about this later.

But it's too late.

At that time, she was trapped in her fate and believed that women should be content with their lot.

He was also busy dealing with the Marquis' Mansion, and was exhausted, so he had no time to think about anything else.

But now I have let it go.

All the things that were weighing on her mind disappeared on the day of execution when she saw the executioner's knife about to fall and he appeared like a god to save her.

She is too hard on herself.

It was too harsh on him.

When we were young, we didn’t allow even the slightest flaw in our self-righteous relationship.

Only after experiencing many things will you become more tolerant.

After thousands of years of experience, the immaturity has faded away, and the world is bright.

“Everyone is responsible for their own actions, me and her.

“It was a mistake for me to marry her.

“But I was definitely wrong.

"Whether it was because I didn't see her plan or because of some other reason, I was wrong about this matter.

“If you do something wrong, admit it and correct it.”

Jiang Qingyue refilled her tea:

"The Prime Minister must have thought it through carefully before making his decision."

"Yes."

The two of them stopped talking and just sat there quietly drinking tea without saying anything else.

It was as if the lost spring time was found back in an instant, as if it had returned to the past.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons rotate.

"Please go back, Prime Minister."

"Okay, I'll come back another day."

Not long after Ji Yunzhi left, Lu Huan came over.

Very reluctantly speaking:

"Miss, General Dongling is here again."

Jiang Qingyue stood up and walked under the flower tree.

Looking up at the pear blossoms on the branches, the sunlight shines on the petals, casting a layer of golden halo, which looks beautiful instantly.

She remembered that Dong Lingyan once told her that he would take her to the hillside outside the city to see the spring flowers.

She agreed, and even felt a little happy in her heart.

Later I didn't go, and I felt quite regretful.

When I think about it now, I don’t feel any ripples in my heart.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Dong Lingyan entered the garden, looked at the people under the flower tree, and stopped.

He had a cold and expressionless look, and he exuded an aura that said "keep away from strangers". He looked no different from the cold-faced Yama in the legends outside.

He looked at Jiang Qingyue: "Are you finally calmed down?"

Jiang Qingyue: “Not angry.

"If you're not angry, why don't you see me?

"You met Lin Zhiyuan, Jiang Peilan, Ji Yunzhi, and even the maids in the Lin Mansion, but you just refused to see me."

Dong Lingyan complained.

There was an irritation in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

"I don't want to see you."

Jiang Qingyue was so straightforward that Dong Lingyan choked on his voice.

"I know, I'm sorry, I apologize."

He looked at her with an earnest expression.

"Okay, I accept your apology, but I don't know if he will accept it."

Jiang Qingyue said this, raising her hand and pointing at her lower abdomen with a calm expression.

Dong Lingyan was slightly relieved when he heard the first sentence, but the next sentence made his heart sink to the bottom.

"sorry."

He turned his eyes away guiltily, pursed his lips, and did not dare to look at Jiang Qingyue.

"Are you feeling well?"

"I'm much better now. Thank you, General, for your help."

"I sent you a lot of medicinal herbs. The doctor said they will be good for your health."

"Thank you, General. I will ask Lu Huan to find it and make it for me."

Dong Lingyan looked at her, and felt depressed when he saw her calm expression.

He seemed unable to understand her at all, unable to see through her.

And there was a fatal attraction about her that drew him to look.

"I promise, there won't be a next time."

The corners of Jiang Qingyue's mouth lifted slightly in a smile, but in that smile, there was an infinite coldness.

"General Dong Ling, there won't be a next time."

Dong Lingyan's mouth froze: "Don't you really care about the little affection we had in the past?"

Jiang Qingyue still smiled and said, "If General Dongling had cared about our past friendship, this wouldn't be the case today.

"Why is it that General Dong Ling was the one who did something wrong, but in the end, he blames me for not considering our relationship?

“These words only make me feel that General Dongling is irresponsible. He only allows the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps.

"You can treat me as a plaything, or imprison me as a bird in a cage, but you cannot ask me to forgive you and continue as before after you stabbed me.

"I am a stingy person who holds grudges and is not generous."

He clenched his hands slightly in his sleeves.

"Then what exactly do I need you to do to forgive me?"

"I forgive you, and I'm not hard on myself. I just don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

"No, I don't agree." He took two steps forward, his face showing undisguised anger.

There was also a bit of unconscious eagerness.

"What, General, are you angry because of shame? Since being soft doesn't work, you want to take advantage of me? According to your status and position, I really don't have the right to have my own ideas.

"But apart from our status, we are equals."

These words suddenly sounded deafening to Dong Lingyan's ears.

He had never thought of it that way.

"I've died once, and walked through the gates of hell. I don't care about my status, so I won't bow down to you again.

"General, you want a girl who is humble, pleasing to the eye, gentle and considerate. It's easy to find one, but that person will no longer be me."

"Do you think you're bowing down to me?" Dong Lingyan looked at her straight, wanting to see clearly what she was thinking and why she said that.

Could it be that everything in the past was fake?

Could it be that she didn't want to do it before, but had to?

Did she never...

"Isn't it?"

Dong Lingyan's eyes were gloomy, and his fingers almost left blood marks on his palms.

Finally, the Tao:

"I will come again."

"Come again, I'll say the same thing."

“I think it will be different.”

"Unless you let him come back here."

Jiang Qingyue touched her lower abdomen, gently stroking it again and again. This action stung Dong Lingyan's eyes and made them hurt.

He turned and left, almost running away.

The feeling of regret came over me like an overwhelming tidal wave.

Jiang Qingyue sat down on the couch, leaned back, and closed her eyes.

Lu Huan came over, looking worried: "Miss, are you okay?"

"I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap."

"Yes." Lu Huan stepped back.

For the next two days, Jiang Qingyue stayed in the garden, went nowhere, saw no one, and slept soundly for several days.

The discomfort in my body gradually eased and I almost couldn't feel it, as if the pain brought by the bowl of medicine had never happened.

It floats away lightly in the wind, leaving no trace and cannot be found anywhere.

Every day when Jiang Qingyue wakes up and looks at this strange house, she feels like she is having a dream.

She thought that after she had rested for a while and finished her work in the capital, she could leave.

She wants to go to Jiangnan.

The first time she heard these two words was in a poem that Ji Yunzhi taught her.

The spring breeze makes the south bank of the river green again.

These two nouns, as beautiful as poems, stir people's hearts and make people yearn for them as soon as they read them.

I heard that the wind in the south of the Yangtze River is always gentle.

The soft Wu dialect, beautiful scenery, delicious food and beautiful girls.

She wanted to find a small garden, live a quiet life, watch the sun rise and the moon set, listen to the rain and watch the snow, make tea and plant flowers.

Just thinking about it now, I feel a very beautiful feeling in my heart.

One day, as soon as she woke up, she saw that Lu Huan looked strange.

She asked with a smile, "Why, General Dongling is here again."

Lu Huan shook her head: "No, General Dong Ling has not come since he left that day. He only sends people to deliver some things from time to time."

"Then why do you look like this?"

"The Xue family's eldest son is here." Lu Huan said unhappily.

"Oh, what a rare visitor."

Lu Huan thought for a moment and said, "In fact, he has come here many times, but he didn't dare to enter the house. He just watched from a distance at the corner of the street, and I didn't tell the young lady."

Jiang Qingyue waved her hand casually: "Let him be."

Lu Huan snorted, "I don't know what this Xue family master means. When the young lady was in the Marquis' Mansion, his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose. Now that the young lady has left the Marquis' Mansion, he is acting so affectionate again. Who is he showing this to?

"This man is really a cheapskate. He discards it like a worn-out shoe when he has it, but only knows how to cherish it when he loses it."

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "You have gained a lot of insights. Not bad, not bad. You have made some progress."

"That's right, young lady, you see, one by one they are all like this. He is affectionate, he is cold, he is cruel, I feel that these men are as terrible as a flood and a beast."

Jiang Qingyue looked at Lu Huan complaining, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Since moving into the villa, Lu Huanyan seems to have become much more lively. She dares to say anything and talk to anyone. She seems to be in good shape.

Compared to her previous well-behaved appearance, she felt that Lu Huan was more adorable like this.

That's right, life like this is the most comfortable life she has had in all these years.

Lu Huan went out to buy snacks for her young lady.

Seeing Xue Feimu standing at the door, he pretended not to see him, ignored him and walked away.

Xue Feimu hesitated for a moment, then finally caught up with him.

"Miss Green Raccoon."

"What can I do for you, Mr. Xue?"

Lu Huan stopped and looked at him with disgust.

Xue Feimu hesitated.

"If Master Xue has nothing else to do, then I will leave. I have something else to do and cannot delay."

"Hey, hey, wait, wait."

Xue Feimu called her.

"I...I just want to ask, how is your young lady doing recently? Is she doing well?"

"Thanks to Master Xue, I am living a very good life."

"Then tell me, if I take your young lady back to the Marquis' Mansion, will she agree?"

Xue Feimu looked at Lu Huan with hope. Lu Huan had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest and he almost couldn't breathe.

"What is Master Xue planning?

"You can't bear to see my lady, okay?

"Can't you bear to see my young lady live a good life?

“As soon as my young lady gets a little better, you want to ruin her?

"It was written in the book of propriety that they should part ways and live happily ever after, but Prince Xue did not remember a single word of it.

"Master Xue really turned a blind eye to the life my young lady was leading in the Marquis's Mansion."

"I... I didn't, I just wanted her to go back." Xue Feimu didn't expect that a maid like Lu Huan would have such a bad temper, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Lu Huan cursed a few times but was not satisfied. Thinking of the grievances her young lady had suffered in the Marquis's Mansion, she spoke directly:

"You want my young lady to go back now, what have you been doing?

"Isn't it enough that you have so many concubines? In your eyes, which one is less important than my young lady? Now you come to harm my young lady again?"

"No, it's not."

Xue Feimu subconsciously wanted to refute, but his rebuttal was very unconvincing.

"Your lady is very nice."

"My young lady is very kind, and you bully her? She has been a widow for three years, and as soon as you come back you are promoting your second wife. Does my young lady owe you anything?

"Of course my young lady is good. When has my young lady ever been bad? You were blind and didn't see it at the beginning, allowing those people to bully her unscrupulously. Now that your mansion is in chaos, you remember the good things about my young lady. Do you want to drag my young lady into the fire pit again?"

She had heard too much about the troubles in the Marquis' Mansion in the past few days and thought that no one else knew what was going on in his mind.

"Why is it a fire pit? I will protect her well."

"Bah, who needs your protection? You'd better stay away from my young lady, so that she can be happy and live a long life. If you get close to my young lady, she will have no peace of mind.

"You came to see my young lady. Do you know if the people in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion knew about this, they would come to cause trouble for my young lady and make up stories about her behind her back?

"It's obviously your fault, but my young lady has to bear the consequences, and you keep saying that you will protect her. You are protecting her by staying away from her. Pretending to be affectionate like you are now and wanting my young lady to return to the Marquis' Mansion is selfish.

"You only care about yourself and don't care about my young lady's life or death. If you have any concern for my young lady, you should keep her away from the disputes in your backyard instead of standing here and causing trouble for her."

Lu Huan spoke a lot of words quickly and clearly, like huge rocks hitting Xue Feimu's heart.

"I didn't. That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I just want your young lady to go back and make it up to her."

"You want to? You know it's you who wants to, so why don't you ask my lady if she wants to.

"Back then, you wanted Aunt Chu to be your co-wife, so you forced my young lady to do that. Now you want my young lady to return to the Marquis' Mansion, so does my young lady have to go back? Is there anything you can do just because you want it?

“It’s really funny, what do you want to do but harm my young lady.

"I didn't harm her." Xue Feimu wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know what to say. He could only subconsciously refute and explain that he didn't think so.

"Ask yourself, have you ever hurt my young lady? For three years, my young lady has been in the Marquis' Mansion, supporting the mansion, guarding the mansion for you, respecting the elders, and running the mansion that was like an empty shell. But how did you treat the young lady?

"Master Xue, please go back. You don't need to come again, and don't say such things in front of the young lady.

"My lady has escaped death and deserves a better life."
