Chapter 76 The Tenderness of the Dream
Chu Xiu fell silent and looked straight at her. After a long time, he suddenly chuckled and said, "I'm curious, after something like this happened, can my sister-in-law still be able to say 'don't mind'?"
Shi Chunfen pursed her lips, knowing that he was laughing at her previous words to comfort him. Just because she refused his help, he turned back into the aggressive Chu Xiu, withdrew all his kindness, and suddenly
, she really didn’t know whether to feel pitiful for herself or for Chu Xiu.
Seeing that she was speechless, Chu Xiu thought she regretted it, couldn't help laughing, turned and left the room.
Seeing him leaving like this, Hongxing and Lutao were a little confused, "This second master is really strange. Is he here to help or to cause trouble?"
Chu Xiu walked out of the room and saw Chu Ling standing in the yard outside with his back to him. The moonlight lengthened his figure. Although he was surrounded by flowers, he seemed extremely lonely at this moment.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and strode over, "Are you worried that my sister-in-law and I are alone, and you come here to stare at us?"
These words were full of provocation. Chu Ling glanced at him lightly, but his expression was extremely calm, "If your sister-in-law is as easy to coax as Wang Jixue, will it be your turn to coax her?"
Chu Xiu's expression changed and he sneered, "As expected of the two couples, their words are equally harsh." He took a few steps forward and stopped when he reached Chu Ling's side, "I want to see if you will take a concubine in the future.
When I was young, could my sister-in-law be so calm and composed?"
With that said, he tossed his sleeves and left the scene.
Chu Ling looked at his back and doubted his ears for a moment. What he meant just now was that the Spring Equinox would care whether he took a concubine or not?
When Shi Chunquin was staying in the room, she vaguely heard Chu Ling's voice coming from outside. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the window. She happened to see that Chu Xiu had left. She stood in the room and stared blankly.
Chu Ling was in a daze in the yard for an unknown amount of time. He finally took a step forward and left the yard.
Shi Chunfen opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to stop him, but when the words reached her lips, no sound came out.
Probably she suddenly realized that the man she called back was destined not to belong to her.
——
Jiang Ya was in a coma for two days before she woke up. During this period, the county government took out the best medicinal materials to extend her life, and finally brought her back from the hell.
After she woke up, the first person she saw was Chu Ling. Basically, Chu Ling had been staying in her room for the past two days, taking care of her untiedly. Until she opened her eyes, Chu Ling's hanging heart
Just let it go.
"Young Master..." Two days of coma made Jiang Ya's voice hoarse and dry, and even she was shocked when she opened her mouth.
Chu Ling didn't mind, and quickly poured her a glass of water, then personally lifted her up and fed her into her mouth.
Jiang Ya leaned weakly on Chu Ling's shoulder, feeling the steady and powerful heartbeat of her sweetheart, and felt that she was alive even before taking the medicine.
She slowly drank the glass of water Chu Ling fed her, and then said weakly, "Where is this? How long have I been sleeping?"
Chu Ling helped her sit up on the pillow, then stood up and put down the tea cup in his hand, and said calmly: "This is the county chief's mansion. You have been unconscious for two days."
"Ah?" Jiang Ya was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect that she had slept for so long. She was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and grabbed Chu Ling's arm forcefully, "Where is Miss Kong? How did the young lady beat her?
Already?"
Her voice was urgent and slightly panicked, as if she had no idea what kind of accusation her two words would bring to Shi Chunquin.
Chu Ling's eyes narrowed, he pressed her hand calmly, and said coldly: "Don't worry, she is fine, but you injured your head and fell into a coma, almost losing your life." He looked at it.
Her voice was low and deep, but it was inexplicably bewitching, "What happened that day? Why did you faint on the ground?"
Jiang Ya stared blankly at the man in front of her. For a moment just now, she almost thought that she had successfully won the man's pity. He even liked her a little. But at the moment, she looked at him with a bottomless but faint trace of love.
With cold eyes, she suddenly realized that all his tenderness was just for that answer.
The answer that concerns the innocence of the Equinox.
She fell silent, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Should she bite Shi Chunquin to death with one bite as they had discussed that day, or should she retreat to advance and use the answer she wanted in this man's heart in exchange for a different look from him?
The former is undoubtedly at odds with the county government, but the advantage is that he can make them right and ensure that he can marry Chu Ling;
The latter is a bit more troublesome, as you have to keep acting to win sympathy, and you may not be able to get the results you want.
Things have come to this point. Of course she is not willing to lose everything, but at the same time she is greedy. In addition to being a concubine, she also wants to win Chu Ling's heart.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Chu Ling asked patiently: "Did you slip and fall and accidentally hit yourself like this?"
This statement clearly shows that it is full of protection for the spring equinox.
It was rare that he was so eager to make progress, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about the Spring Equinox.
Jiang Ya stared at him blankly for a long time, then a bitter smile appeared on her pale face, "Yes, eldest son, I accidentally fell down by myself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Ling visibly relaxed, and his originally cold and sharp eyebrows softened in an instant.
Although there was no smile on his face, Jiang Ya could still feel his softness at this moment. This was the tenderness she dreamed of, even if this tenderness was not for her.
"So that's it." Chu Ling smiled, and for a moment it seemed as if light was flowing all over the place, clearing the clouds and seeing fog, "Kong Youlian also said that the eldest mistress recommended you, what's going on?"
"Maybe she misunderstood." Jiang Ya lowered her eyebrows and tried her best to show a weak posture. Of course, she didn't need to pretend. After walking through the gate of hell, her face was indeed pale at the moment.
It was scary, "There was chaos at the time. Miss Kong didn't see clearly and mistakenly thought it was the young mistress who pushed me. In fact, I fell down myself."
These words completely cleared up the relationship between Shi and Chunfen. Chu Ling was very satisfied and liked her a lot. "It's just a misunderstanding. With Chunfen's strength, it doesn't seem like he can push you into this."
Although he didn't say much, Jiang Ya's expression changed instantly.
