After the three of them had a detailed discussion, Xia Yihan sent someone to settle Tang Meng down.
Hu Ling'er took out the token that Xia Yihan had given him and placed it in front of him, smiling and saying: "King Han, the two-month period has come. When will you go and accept my results?"
Xia Yihan took the token and looked at it with emotion: "If it weren't for this token, we might have missed it at that time."
Hu Ling'er lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the token, and she felt the same way.
If Xia Yihan had just left like that, then the relationship between the two might have really ended at that time.
But she stole his token by mistake, and then accepted the deal he proposed, followed by a series of mistakes.
Everything seemed to be destined to bring them together.
But if this is the case, why do so many things happen?
Is this a test for them?
Hu Ling'er laughed helplessly. Xia Yihan felt the hesitation in her smile, held her in his arms distressedly, and said apologetically: "Ling'er, do you think I am useless?"
Hu Ling'er raised her head and looked at him, a flash of astonishment flashed in her eyes, but she didn't speak.
Xia Yihan shook her head with a wry smile and continued: "I keep saying that I want to protect you and give you happiness, but I still keep hurting you, and every time all I can say is I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The smile at the corner of his mouth became increasingly bitter. Xia Yihan sighed heavily and continued: "You must be blaming me. You know Qi Hongqing's intention to harm me, but you still refuse to touch him. Even after he harmed me again and again, even
When we do something that affects our relationship, we still accept our fate and compromise without knowing how to resist."
Hu Ling'er looked at Xia Yihan quietly, looking at his tangled and painful expression, and suddenly nodded and said: "Actually, I understand your feelings very well."
She, Bai Li and Yao Xue were all born as orphans, so she can understand why Xia Yihan did what she did.
For a person who has only had his mother as a relative since he was a child, he finally has a father and a brother. Even though he doesn't care about it on the surface, he still longs for family affection in his heart.
But now, his parents are dead and Qi Hongqing can be said to be his only relative. How could he not care?
Qi Hongqing could be ruthless enough to get rid of him, but the Xia Yihan she knew could not.
So he kept hesitating, even after clearly understanding Qi Hongqing's thoughts, he still hesitated.
In fact, he is not cowardly or timid, but he really cares about this brotherly relationship, so he is still hoping that Qi Hongqing can change his mind and let their relationship return to the past.
Hu Ling'er even speculated that if Qi Hongqing stopped causing trouble for them and lived peacefully with Xia Yihan from now on, he might not pursue what happened before.
"Ling'er, I know what you are thinking." Xia Yihan raised her hand and rubbed Hu Ling'er's hair, looked at her tenderly, and said slowly: "If the only person Qi Hongqing wants to hurt is me, then I will never touch him.
Then leave here without hesitation and never appear in front of him again. But now, he won't even let you go, so I don't need to care about this brotherhood anymore."
Although Xia Yihan said so firmly, Hu Ling'er knew that if such a day came, he would definitely be in pain.
"Xia Yihan." Hu Ling'er took the initiative to hold his hand and smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me. No matter what, I am fine now. You don't have to make such a painful choice for me. That day you already
You made a choice between Sangrong and me. I know how painful it was for you at that time, so I don’t want you to sacrifice your only relative for me again."
"Ling'er, I know you are thinking about me wholeheartedly." Xia Yihan happily squeezed Hu Ling'er's hand.
Although Hu Ling'er acted indifferent to everything, her heart was still kind after all.
"I will handle this matter, so don't worry about it anymore." Holding her tightly, Xia Yihan put his chin on the top of her head, "Before, I always asked you to worry about this and that. In the future, don't think about goodbye anymore.
As long as we take good care of our children and let our children be born healthy, it will be fine."
Hu Ling'er lowered her head and twitched the corners of her mouth.
She wanted to say that it was impossible for her not to worry, but she still nodded and said softly: "Well, I understand."
"Then you take a lunch break first, and I'll go to the study to take care of some things." Xia Yihan warned softly, and Hu Ling'er still responded obediently: "Okay."
However, as soon as Xia Yihan left, she got up and went to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and then called Xiao Miao in, "Xiao Miao, help me call Brother Tang."
"Yes, miss." Xiaomiao responded and left.
After a while, Tang Meng, who had just left not long ago, came.
Hu Ling'er said apologetically: "Brother, this is your first time in Lingdu. I was supposed to accompany you for a walk, but my health has not been very good these days, and the matter is urgent, so I can only work hard for you."
After hearing this, Tang Meng was a little confused and said: "What do you mean, sister?"
Handing the letter in his hand to him, Hu Ling'er said again: "The things I want you to do are all written on it. You can rest in the house today and do what I wrote in my letter tomorrow."
"Okay." Tang Meng agreed to Hu Ling'er without hesitation. Anyway, no matter what she asked him to do, he would do it.
But listening to Hu Ling'er's words, he knew that she must have asked him to go back to the village first.
After a pause, he looked at Hu Ling'er's slightly pale complexion and said worriedly: "Sister, I've actually discovered this before, but I just didn't have the time to ask you. Your complexion is much worse than when you were in the village before, and your health is not good yet.
Okay?"
Hu Ling'er's health was not very good when we last met in the cottage, but it has been such a long time, and not only is she not better, but she looks even more haggard.
Hu Ling'er didn't intend to hide it from him anymore. She gently stroked her belly with her hand and said with a happy smile, "Brother, I'm pregnant."
"Ah?" Tang Meng's eyes widened, and he came back to his senses after a while, with a look of surprise on his face: "Really? Sister, you are really pregnant, then can I... can I be your uncle?"
Woolen cloth?"
Seeing Tang Meng's excited and helpless look, Hu Ling'er smiled and nodded: "Yes."
This girl was originally called out by Tang Meng out of wishful thinking, but Hu Ling'er casually agreed.
But now, she truly regards him as her elder brother and her relative, so she is happy to share this happiness with him.
"Great, really great. I'm going to tell everyone the news." Tang Meng murmured to himself, really excited.
His parents were gone a long time ago, and his only sister also died tragically, so he truly regarded Hu Ling'er as his sister. Now that he heard such good news, he was of course happy.
Speaking of Jian Xinan, he did go to Sang Rong's room.
Looking at Sang Rong lying quietly on the bed, Jian Xinan whispered with disdain: "Master told me that I must not hurt the other person's life. But this time, you were poisoned by yourself, and I have absolute reasons.
If I don’t save you, it’s entirely your own fault.”
After a pause, a wry smile appeared on Jian Xinan's lips: "But Ling'er asked me to save you. It's impossible for me to refuse her. But I won't let you go just like that. You will do it for yourself."
You pay the price for what you do.”
After saying that, Jian Xinan took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, took out a pill from it, stuffed it into Sang Rong's mouth, then turned and left.
Before dinner, Sang Rong finally woke up, but after waking up, Sang Rong felt that her face was extremely itchy. She struggled to get up and walked to the dressing table. When she saw the picture in the mirror covered with
When he saw the red and purple spots on his face, he suddenly screamed in fright.
After receiving the report from his servant, Xia Yihan rushed over, but when he entered the room, Sang Rong was huddled in the corner of the bed, covering his head with a quilt, shivering.
Seeing her look like this, no matter how much hatred Xia Yihan had in her heart, it was hard to show it.
He could only approach her bed and say, "What's wrong with you?"
Who knew that when he heard his voice, Sang Rong shouted in panic: "No, don't come over! Go away! Go away quickly!"
There was endless panic and despair in this voice. Xia Yihan really wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking that she would become like this, she was also responsible, so she patiently sat down by the bed and pulled her
Opened the quilt.
A terrifying and panic-stricken face instantly fell into Xia Yihan's eyes. When she first saw that face, Xia Yihan was stunned. After Sang Rong met his shocked gaze, he hurriedly snatched it back.
He covered his head with the quilt again and kept saying: "No, I don't want you to see me, no."
After a while, Xia Yihan came back to his senses, frowned and said: "You... how could you become like this?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
In fact, she didn't know what was going on. The only explanation was the after-effects of the poison, because judging from the red-purple traces, they looked very similar to the poison symptoms she used when developing the poison.
Moreover, she was almost certain that this was Jian Xinan's fault.
Suddenly, Sang Rong suddenly pulled back the quilt, his eyes were distracted and he said in a daze: "It was Jian Xinan. It was Jian Xinan who poisoned me. He wants to avenge Hu Ling'er. Yes, that's it."
Xia Yihan didn't say anything. In fact, he also thought of this possibility. After all, Jian Xinan hated Sang Rong so much, how could he not teach her a lesson?
But after Sang Rong muttered in a daze for a while, he suddenly said: "No, this is my own poison. I was poisoned by my own poison. Wow... I disfigured myself."
Saying this, she actually covered her face and started crying again.
Xia Yihan saw that Sang Rong seemed to be mentally disturbed. He must have been too stimulated by this face.
All women love beauty, and Sang Rong is no exception.
When facing Sang Rong like this, Xia Yihan admitted that she still had a little pity for her, but that was all.
Just when he was thinking about whether he should leave, Sang Rong suddenly grabbed his hand, looked at him with a sad face and said: "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I don't expect you to forgive me, but there are some things I said
I still want to tell you."
Xia Yihan paused for a moment, pulled her hand back, and then said, "Go ahead."
His merciless actions and alienated tone had made his attitude at the moment clear.
Sang Rong lowered his eyes, which were full of pain and loss, but he still took a deep breath and said: "Brother, you should know how deep my feelings for you are. I thought that as long as I stay with you like this
By my side, one day you will belong to me. Because for so many years, there has been no other woman beside you except me, and you are so good to me, I always thought that I was the most special to you.
one of."
"But I didn't expect you to meet Hu Ling'er. In just ten days, she virtually defeated me who had been by your side for nearly ten years. Watching you go crazy and painful because of losing her, you even endured the pain of accepting this prince.
position, do you know how unwilling my heart is?"
"Every time I think of the way you were about to jump after her, my heart aches. But I have no other choice but to stay by your side, support you, comfort you, help you regain your sight, and detoxify."
There is no other way."
"If you want to go to Yin Qishan to find her, I will accompany you. Now that I think about it, if I had stopped you when we set out, or if I had not listened to your advice and pretended to be stunned when those bandits wanted to rob us, then now
Everything may be different, right?"
"Mu Wanru returned to China, and the emperor granted me a marriage. You accepted the marriage... Until the wedding night, I didn't feel any crisis. But then I saw you becoming more and more concerned about Mu Wanru, and her various behaviors
It also makes me more and more uneasy.”
"But at that time, I kept comforting myself that the person you liked was Hu Ling'er, and now you are just using Mu Wanru. But... later I discovered that these self-consolations of mine were actually just deceiving myself."
"You really fell in love with her. When you kept saying that Hu Ling'er was the only one in your heart and you couldn't accept me, you fell in love with another woman."
"So, I'm not reconciled, I hate it, that's why I want to get rid of her, but I don't want to..."
Speaking of this, Sang Rong suddenly laughed, but the smile was full of self-deprecation and bitterness, "I didn't expect this person to be Hu Ling'er. So, from beginning to end, I have always lost to her."
