Coming out of the study, Shen Juexin felt particularly comfortable.She walked forward along the edge of the gravel road in the yard, occasionally lost her balance and staggered forward, her arms stretched out, avoiding the danger of falling.The breeze was blowing, and the swaying lantern guided Shen Juexin in the direction he wanted to go.

"Chu Qing, where is Miss Ling? Have you gone to her room?" Pushing open the door, only Chu Qing was sitting quietly by the bed waiting for Shen Juexin to appear.Seeing her coming back, she stood up and greeted her, cupped Shen Juexin's face in her hands, and warmed the cheeks of her beloved with the heat of her palms.After some easing, Chu Qing closed the door, turned around and waited for her to untie her coat, and said as she untied, "Miss Ling was taken to the wing by the maid. She was frightened, and I asked someone to fix the bowl." Soothing soup, it must be more comfortable."

"Frightened? You know that too?" Shen Juexin looked at her, guessing what Ling Ruchu might say.

"Of course I know. Didn't that person tell you? Miss Ling was almost bullied. She was also disturbed when I saw her just now. She must have been frightened." Chu Qing smiled slightly and took off the coat Putting it on top of the cabinet, she raised her hand to comb her hair again: "However, this Ling girl is strange. She asked me if I was bullied or experienced helplessness."

"Huh? Then what did you say?"

"I don't want to mention the past. However, when she first appeared in front of me, I was really stunned. Her appearance is really similar to Ruoxue." Chu Qing answered truthfully, pulling Shen Jue Xin's hand returned to the bed, and she lay down in her arms, snuggled into it securely and comfortably, closing her eyes and gradually becoming sleepy: "Xin'er, tell me the truth, you care so much for Miss Ling, but because of her What does it look like? You still...can't let Ruoxue go?"

"If you still can't let it go, there won't be many of you." Shen Juexin laughed, somewhat understanding Chu Qing's concerns: "Her appearance is indeed similar to Ruoxue, but she is Ling Ruchu. In this regard, I The distinction is clear. I should help her out of emotion and reason, not to mention the relationship between Ling Yuanwai and me, just say that Ling Ruchu is a helpless woman, how can I ignore it? The business left by Ling Yuanwai before his death I'm still here, I can't take it all by myself, with Miss Ling here, we can continue to cooperate, and there will be no loss to our business."

"It's me who was worrying too much. Since that's the case, Xin'er must help Miss Ling well." After getting the answer she wanted, Chu Qing smiled very satisfied.In fact, even if Shen Juexin really had feelings for Ling Ruchu, they couldn't stop them.I just feel that having too many sisters is not a good thing, and I don't want to break Shen Juexin's heart even more.

"Fool, don't think too much." Shen Juexin yawned, really a little tired: "Tomorrow Ling will be buried outside, I have to go and take care of it. On the business side, Miss Ling is very smart, she should be able to do it soon, There is no need to point too much. Chu Qing, let's sleep, look at this day, I don't know whether tomorrow will be good or bad."

The sky was gloomy, and light raindrops fell on the buried coffin, wetting the surrounding soil.Several hired workers took shovels and pushed the surrounding soil onto the coffin, burying it little by little.Ling Ruchu was standing next to them, expressionless, dressed in unstained white clothes, and his long hair was covered with a thin layer of raindrops.

The workers' movements were not too slow. The coffin buried was buried deep in the soil, leaving only high mounds.A few pieces of yellow paper were pressed on the top of the mound with stones, and the hired workers had completed their tasks by embedding the tombstone in front of the mound and setting up the tribute bowl and incense candles. "Miss Ling, we're done with our work, we're going back now, take care." The leader wiped off the drizzle on his face, waved at the people behind him, and walked straight away.

"Miss Ling, go back after paying respects to member Ling." An oil umbrella covered Ling Ruchu's head, and Shen Juexin put his hands on her shoulders carefully, for fear of disturbing her accidentally.

"Father left just like that." Ling Ruchu didn't move, but just stared at the name on the tombstone, with a little bit of sadness and sadness in his heart.She tried her best to restrain her tears, and also suppressed her emotions from bursting out.But the more he endured, the more those negative emotions surged out.Tears slipped down, Ling Ruchu turned around and hugged Shen Juexin, crying loudly on her shoulder.

Since memory, Ling Ruchu has never cried like this in front of anyone.She could cry, but she always stood in a corner and shed tears silently. Now she was crying so loudly, hugging Shen Juexin, and vented all her emotions.

Slowly stroking Ling Ruchu's hair with slender hands, Shen Juexin looked at the scenery not far away, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.Her other hand was still holding an umbrella for Ling Ruchu, and while caring for her, her emotions were surging.The world outside the umbrella is drizzled, but there is no disturbance inside the umbrella, it is quiet and warm. "Cry, I know you are sad. If you cry a lot, everything will be fine." She said softly, still stroking her hair with her palm to comfort her.

Ling Ruchu cried for a long time, when she raised her head from Shen Juexin's shoulders, her eyes were still glistening with tears.She slightly pushed Shen Juexin away, and two blushes rarely appeared on her pretty face. "Just now, I was the one to be rude." She lowered her head and turned her back to Shen Juexin to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, not wanting to expose her embarrassment to Shen Juexin again.

"In the future, what are your plans?" Ling Ruchu felt embarrassed, Shen Juexin took the initiative to change the subject, as if what happened just now had never happened, she had never comforted her, nor had she hugged her to release her emotions wantonly.

"Take over the business left by my father." Ling Ruchu closed his eyes slightly, and breathed calmly: "I don't know anything about business, and I hope Mr. Shen can give some pointers. Since father has cooperated with you before his death, Ling Ruchu will naturally leave too. Father's old way. Collaboration...pleasant."

"Since that's the case, I will do my best to help. But let's hurry up, I don't have much time to stay in Suzhou." Shen Juexin's seemingly casual words finally caused Ling Ruchu's heart to suddenly shake.She turned her head and asked in great surprise, "You're leaving Suzhou? Aren't you..."

"Move to Liangzhou." Shen Juexin smiled, and looked at Ling Ruchu with a little reluctance: "Most of the business is in Liangzhou, and there are also residences there. Besides, the wives of the family live in Liangzhou after all. She is more comfortable, so she wants to move. However," she wanted to say that she would often come back to visit her parents, but Ling Ruchu interrupted her, her tone was neither sour nor astringent, but she also lost her composure: "Really? Mr. Shen There are several wives and concubines in the family, and it is really good to have an independent house. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you for too long, and I will learn what I need to learn as soon as possible.”

What she wanted to say was blocked by Ling Ruchu, and Shen Juexin didn't know what to say.She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, seeing that there were still tears on Ling Ruchu's face, she simply took out the handkerchief Wan Niang had prepared for her, and said, "Wipe, it looks like a colorful cat."

"Really?" Ling Ruchu subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the handkerchief in Shen Juexin's hand. Unexpectedly, his fingertip happened to land on her finger, and a subtle feeling arose spontaneously. "I..." She raised her head, and her eyes just fell on Shen Juexin's slightly pursed lips. Thinking of the exposure of her body that night, Ling Ruchu felt ashamed, and hurriedly took the handkerchief, breathing involuntarily. Out of order.

If that night, Shen Juexin could be a little gentler to her, wouldn't she...she would have obeyed her.how could be?They only met a few times, how could she commit herself to one person so casually?Shen Juexin, she is really an annoying person!But, is she really annoying?Countless wild thoughts poured into Ling Ruchu's heart, she vigorously wiped away the tears on her face, then turned her head, and firmly stuffed the handkerchief into Shen Juexin's hand, "It's finished, thank you Ling Ruchu. "

"Since you've wiped it off, follow me back home. Do you want to stay here for a while? There may be heavy rain. If you want to stay any longer, take this umbrella with you." Shen Juexin gave the umbrella to him. In the past, I just waited for Ling Ruchu to take over.

"I'll go home with you." The umbrella that was pushed over was pushed back again, Ling Ruchu was afraid to touch Shen Juexin's hand again, and almost covered it with his arms to avoid too much skin contact with each other.In fact, why should she avoid such a taboo?Long before, when her body was completely exposed in front of Shen Juexin, she probably already recognized her in her heart.Women's chastity is especially important, and the slightest skin-to-skin contact becomes a reason for marriage.Ling Ruchu didn't say anything, and pretended not to care. In his heart, how could he really not care?
