Jianghai Wuyue

The evening breeze coolly blows through the red plum blossoms in the courtyard, and the flowers that are about to bloom on the tips tremble in the evening wind, and have withstood the coldness of the whole winter. Cold, fast decay down.

Mrs. Liu has been sick since he saw the Hefeng Garden burn that day, and now he is lying on the bed crookedly, seeing Tian'er's medicine as water but not getting better.Madam Liu, who was serving beside her, also looked haggard. When she heard the news of Chen Ling's return today, she hurried up and said to Chen Ling: "Master, you are full of trifles now. This old slave shouldn't bother you to care about such small things. It's just that Madam is so ill that she can't get out of bed or eat, her eyes are staring blankly at the direction of Hefengyuan, and she is also haggard. There is no other way, I have to come and ask Young Master to persuade Madam."

Nanny Liu swallowed a mouthful of tears with choked-up sobs, and her gentle face, which was like white dough, soon became haggard because of taking care of Mrs. Liu day and night these days.Her body smelled of bitter soup and medicine, and her eyes became cloudy.

Chen Ling thumped himself regretfully, he was so busy trying to find out the truth that he was even willing to make a fuss about his own wedding ceremony, he completely forgot how much Liu Shi cared about his father.

"It's all my fault. I forgot how much my mother cared about my father. I haven't been home these few days, and I don't even know that my mother is sick." Chen Ling knocked his head vigorously in frustration, and Mammy Liu was busy. She stepped forward to hug his arm, frowned and said unwillingly: "What are you doing, my son, my wife and my son are mother and son, so I naturally feel the same. My wife is sick, and my son is anxious. This is the duty of a son, but I can’t hurt my body like this. I have skin and skin, and my parents, if my wife finds out, I don’t know how sad I will be!”

Nanny Liu couldn't help but dragged Chen Ling into the house. The windows were tightly closed, and the already dark weather was covered by the lowered curtains, making the light even more dim.Going around the four-fold screen that separates the bedroom from snowy nights and winter plums, he saw Liu Shi lying on the bed with a sallow complexion as soon as he looked up.

Cuiwei sat on the footrest, lightly twisted a handkerchief and put it on Liu's forehead, when she heard the sound of someone coming in, she hurriedly stood up and respectfully bowed to Chen Ling.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Ling leaned over and gently pulled the quilt for Liu Shi. Liu Shi's hair scattered around his cheeks was already a little frosty white.But within a day, his black hair had turned gray. I don't know if it was because he cared too much about his father, but it was clear to him that there was not such a deep bond between mother and father.Could it be that because of the one-night couple's kindness for a hundred days, after hearing that Mr. Chen may be in danger, he was hit so hard and fell ill quickly?

"You have worked hard these past few days." Chen Ling turned his head to look at Cuiwei who had a pure face. The girl who always loves beauty is now wearing plain clothes, her face is haggard and a little unhealthy pale, and her eyes have lost the usual sharpness.Chen Ling took pity on her taking care of her mother in undressed clothes, and said something to her softly with gentle eyes.

Cuiwei was overwhelmed by the flattery and hurriedly saluted, Liu's rules were strict, and she would not allow maids to lean close to masters and young masters easily, if she found out, no matter if it was an old man or a new girl, they would all be merciless sent out.Most of the people who can enter Chen's mansion are the maids of the older generation. If they are dismissed like this, the whole family will lose face, and there will be no place to stand in the mansion.With such a lesson learned from the past, very few maidservants with a big heart dare to lean on their master.

Cuiwei has been with the Liu family for seven years, and has a lot of experience. She also treats the master and the young master cautiously. Now that she can get such a gentle and caring word from Chen Ling, even if she knows it is just a polite sentence, she can't help it. There was a slight movement in my heart.

"Thank you for your pity, my lord, that servant will leave now." Seeing that Chen Ling had something to say to Madam Liu alone, Cuiwei retreated with a wink, and she still had a happy face when she left the door His smiling face made his slightly haggard face moist.

After changing the towel and handkerchief for Mrs. Liu, seeing that Mrs. Liu was still sleeping soundly, Chen Ling dragged Madam Liu into the study to talk.

"Mommy, you have served mother the longest. I want to ask you, how is the relationship between mother and father?" Chen Ling looked at Nanny Liu seriously, with black crystal eyes looking at Nanny Liu, making her There is a tenderness in my heart.This is the child born to their young lady and the master, and it is the child born to the husband and wife during the best years of their relationship.

Nanny Liu sighed with emotion, and there was a tenderness of remembrance in her eyes, "The relationship between Madam and Master was very good at first. Master is open-minded by nature, well-educated, and most talented like a hermit. Back then on Mount Jide in Jiangyang, Master and Madam fell in love at first sight." Seemingly recalling the childhood sweetheart affection of Mrs. Liu when she was young, there was a light and joyful smile on Madam Liu's face, and her brows were already a little sparse. , you can also see the beauty of witnessing the love between Liu Shi and the beloved man.

But soon, Mammy Liu sighed gloomyly, "At the beginning when Madam married, she lived a life of being envious of others. People don't interfere with the master and madam. On such a day, even the old servant feels that there is good hope for this day. It's just that the good times don't last long. This kind of day turned the world upside down when you were two years old. Changed appearance."

A Albizia juliensis flower growing towards the sky outside the study room has withered its petals, leaving only a bare trunk covered with a light layer of white snow.There are slightly faded red ribbons hanging on the branches, swaying gently with the breeze.In the evening, covered with a layer of dust, the sun slowly flows in, pulling out a shallow shadow of the Albizia julibrissin in the study.

That period of sweet and happy time in memory is also like the Albizia julibrissin that has been blown old by time, only the rugged branches under the flowers are left, and those who are left in the world are still struggling to recall the wonderful feelings of the year.

"Mother... loves father very much, right?"

Nanny Liu patted his hands with a smile, and the warmth from the warm, soft and dry palms that were maintained made Chen Ling suddenly burst into tears.

How could you not love it.He always remembered the string of sea stone flower beads and bracelets on his mother's hands, the crystal blue of the blue sea, which was a token of love from his father to his mother.Mother always wears it on her hand and never takes it off.After so many years of wind and frost, it is no longer the glory of the past.It is still on the mother's wrist and has never left.

"Master... is an excellent person. I have never seen a man who is as far-sighted, chic and funny as Master." There was a trace of regret on Liu Mama's face, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness hidden in her cloudy eyes. Resentment, "Back then, Madam and Master had a deep love. This Albizia julibrissin was planted by the master himself, in order to hope that their relationship will be like this Albizia juliensis in the future, and they will never be separated for a long time. But later... everything changed."

It's changed... It's all changed, everyone has been replaced, how can it remain the same.

Chen Ling suppressed the soreness and closed his eyes, tightly curling his hands in his sleeves.No matter how many ghosts and ghosts there are, what kind of sinister plans they are playing, if he can destroy it once, he can destroy it more times.He will not give up until he finds out these leeches hiding in the gutter one by one and kills them all!

Chen Ling put down the cold teacup in his hand, and gently but unquestionably interrupted Madam Liu's constant reminiscence of the past, "Mama, it's getting late, you've worked so hard for so many days, you should go back and take care of yourself. I will take care of it. I will take care of it on my mother's side, so you don't have to worry about it."

Although Liu mama hesitated, she nodded in agreement, and when she left, she still took the trouble to tell the little maid in the room to take good care of Madam, and if there was any mistake, she would never let her go lightly.

Chen Ling looked helplessly at Mammy Liu's serious and stern eyes that were about to scare the little maid in the house to tears, shook her head helplessly, sent Mama Liu out in person, and said a few more words of relief before she let go of her hands and sat down. In the study room, he took a pen and wrote down everything he had learned in the past few days stroke by stroke.

So far, it is known that the person pretending to be his "father" replaced his real father when he was two years old.It's just how he did it. After all these years, my mother, who has been my pillow, should know best.It's just why after so many years, it still looks calm.

Could it be that this fake, impostor is too successful, so there is no doubt that a few people will be laid off.Or because, there is some other reason that he didn't find out.Chen Ling looked down at the words on the paper and meditated secretly, and the pen in his hand couldn't help but wander around and draw circles that he couldn't understand.

A chuckle abruptly brought him back from his thoughts, a thin purple light and shadow quickly slipped past his eyelids, and when Chen Ling looked again, he could only see Yuan Qingzhang in a purple robe sitting on the imperial concubine chair leisurely, He still held his piece of paper full of words in his hand.

"A Ling's writing is really good. There is a bit of unmoved tenacity hidden in Wen Run suddenly. It is an excellent character. It's just this painting..." Yuan Qing Zhang chuckled, and there was a joyful smile in the affectionate Danfeng's eyes.

Chen Ling knew that he had this problem. When he was thinking about things, he would unconsciously draw things on the things at hand. They were all out-of-the-ordinary circles. It seems a bit childish.It's just that such things are always picked up by the master, and usually no one can see them.On the contrary, the master would often take these things out and stare at them for a while with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Now being held in Yuan Qingzhang's hand and examined carefully, for some reason, Chen Ling suddenly felt a little annoyed and shy, and flew forward to snatch the things back.

Yuan Qingzhang's body was flexible, and he dodged with a flash of lightness.On the contrary, Chen Ling focused on the paper, showing his empty door, and told Yuan Qingzhang to hook him up and hug him.

"What kind of fragrance does Ah Ling smell on his body? It's very quiet and smells very good." Yuan Qingzhang leaned his face against Chen Ling's neck, closed his eyes and smelled the smell of Chen Ling's body intoxicated.The exhaled soft breath sprayed on Chen Ling's neck, making him flinch uncomfortably.

"There is no scent on my body. It must be the smell of powder on your body, which is hard on me." Chen Ling struggled to get rid of Yuan Qingzhang's embrace, but his eyes were still gentle and calm, just hidden in his hair. The ears under the silk quietly turned red.

"If you are reckless and rascal again, I will beat you out, and you will never be allowed to enter my house." He gave a warning glance at the unscrupulous person who was still winking at him, coughed, cleared his throat and said seriously: "Not joking with you, how about the things I asked you to do?"

After knowing the plan of the Bai family and the unknown person, Chen Ling thought about it. In his previous life, this is where the horoscope changed. If this danger is reversed, is it the truth he is pursuing and the desire to protect his family? will be able to achieve.

For this, he put all his eggs in one basket.Although the final result is not yet clear, at any rate, it can be regarded as avoiding a catastrophe.Now that we know that Mrs. Bai is someone from the Night Palace, as long as we catch the fake who escaped, we will know the source of the accident.

"I asked the people around me to track down his tracks. They have already caught him, and they are in the other garden where I am staying. Do you have any plans for what to do?" Yuan Qingzhang withdrew the joyful smile on his face, Looking at him calmly, "When the man was caught, he was almost at the boundary of Hongzhou, and his appearance changed. If it wasn't for the Tumu incense you sprinkled on him in advance, I'm afraid that now It has already entered the ocean like water, and there is no trace to be found."

"Put him in a dark room, no one is allowed to approach him, no one is allowed to talk to him, and no one is allowed to bring him food. Just lock him up like this, and I will see him the day after tomorrow." Chen Lingqian There was a faint smile, and the eyes were exposed to the rays of the sun, showing a shimmering and cold light, as if they were pieces of broken blades, waiting for the right time to strangle and slaughter people.

Such a cold-blooded and even somewhat duplicity person, like a black vine lotus covered with a holy moonlight veil, hides a chilling bloodthirsty conspiracy under the glamorous skin.It's completely different from the appearance he once caught a glimpse of.

Yuan Qingzhang snorted, suddenly pulled the man into his arms, and pressed his ears against his cheeks, tightly trapping him in his arms.

But this kind of man made his heart move even more. Leaving aside the hazy and even wishful thinking illusion, the real him slowly revealed in front of his eyes was the one who made his heart break.
