Sure enough, Hu Ling'er was not too surprised after hearing Xia Yihan's words. She just raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, then curled her lips and said: "Really, that is to say, I lied to you once, and you also lied to me.
Once I did, we were even."
"Ling'er..." Xia Yihan called her hesitantly. Her face was calm, and she couldn't see any emotion at all. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
In fact, he had wanted to tell Hu Ling'er about this identity for a long time, but later on when other miscellaneous things came up, he forgot about it. He hoped that his concealment would not worsen the already tense relationship between them.
Adding insult to injury.
Fortunately, Hu Ling'er didn't have any big reaction. Seeing Xia Yihan's anxious look, she just raised her eyebrows needlessly: "It's okay, I don't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you."
As for what she wanted to thank him for, Hu Ling'er didn't say it clearly. At this time, Xia Yihan couldn't guess what she was thinking.
Xia Yihan wanted to stretch out her hand to pull Hu Ling'er, but she only stretched her hand halfway, then took it back and put it on the table.
He hesitated for a moment, tightened his fingers slightly, and finally said: "Ling'er, then you should stay well in Youxiang Mansion and give me five days. After five days, I will come to take you back. Arrive.
I will deal with all the people and things that will make you unhappy."
Looking at the determined Xia Yihan, Hu Ling'er didn't know whether she should believe his promise.
There have been so many times, and he always swore to be honest when he said it, but did he always do it in the end?
No, he simply can't do it.
So this time, she didn't plan to hold out too much hope. She just nodded perfunctorily and said, "I understand."
Five days, five days from now, it should be the day when Tang Meng and the others come over, let’s see how he performs then.
After that, Hu Ling'er didn't want to say anything else. She just sat there with her head lowered, not even looking at Xia Yihan.
Xia Yihan knew that she didn't want to talk to him, so after thinking about it, he still said: "Then Ling'er, you have a good rest, I will go back first."
"Yeah." It was just a cold word that made Xia Yihan sigh in her heart, then stood up and walked out.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Hu Ling'er raised her head and looked at the door, with a complicated look on her face.
Knowing that Xia Yihan was the holy thief she had always admired actually surprised her. She had heard so many legends and stories about the holy thief, but the Xia Yihan in front of her looked nothing like the legendary person.
?
But thinking about it carefully, even though Xia Yihan couldn't see anything when she was in the valley, her free and cheerful attitude still impressed her deeply. At that time, Xia Yihan was like a holy thief.
Therefore, the person I like should be the saint thief who acts casually, is not afraid of strength, and is decisive, not the indecisive Xia Yihan now.
Hu Ling'er sighed lightly and simply lay down on the table.
Five days should be enough time for her to sort out her emotions.
But in these five days, can Xia Yihan really solve those problems as he said?
Or, after he leaves, Prince Han's Mansion will become Sang Rong's world?
If that were the case, then she would have no reason to stay there anymore.
After Xia Yihan left Hu Ling'er's room, she walked out of the yard and saw Mu Qihua waiting there at the door.
Xia Yihan bowed to him respectfully and called: "Father."
Mu Qihua waved his hand, and then said: "Yihan, come to the study with me."
With that said, he was already walking forward. Xia Yihan knew that he must have something to say to her, so she followed him.
In the study room, Mu Qihua sat at the desk, while Xia Yihan sat in the host and guest seats.
After a moment of silence, Mu Qihua spoke first: "Yihan, although in the court, you are the prince and I am the minister, but now I am speaking to you as a father."
Xia Yihan nodded and said humbly: "Father, please speak."
"Okay, then I will speak frankly." Mu Qihua glanced at Xia Yihan with complicated eyes, and then said: "I heard that you want to marry Sang Rong as your concubine?"
She was slightly shocked in her heart, but Xia Yihan quickly understood that since this matter had been spread throughout Prince Han's palace and the right minister would know about it, there was nothing strange about it.
"Yes." Xia Yihan nodded and admitted honestly, but then said: "But this is just the emperor's intention, and I will not agree to it."
But as soon as Xia Yihan finished speaking, Mu Qihua immediately said: "If you don't agree, why do you keep Sang Rong in Prince Han's palace?"
There was a hint of anger in Mu Qihua's voice, and Xia Yihan could hear it.
He lowered his eyes guiltily, thought for a moment and said: "Qi Muqing came back to seek revenge on me. He arrested Sang Rong and hurt her. I... feel guilty for her."
"Haha, do you feel guilty?" Mu Qihua smiled sarcastically, "You feel guilty about Sang Rong, so you would rather hurt Ling'er?"
"No, how could I intentionally hurt Ling'er? I just..." Xia Yihan quickly denied it, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mu Qihua: "But no matter what, you still hurt her.
Although she didn’t say anything when she came back this time, her mother and I can see why she didn’t want to go back to Prince Han’s Mansion.”
Xia Yihan was silent because he could no longer defend himself. Hu Linger was indeed trying to avoid him because of his repeated injuries.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Mu Qihua sighed and shook his head: "Well, in fact, it's not easy for us old people to interfere in the matters between you young people. Although Ling'er is not our biological daughter, in our minds
We have already regarded her as our own daughter, so we don’t want her to be wronged at all, Yihan, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Xia Yihan nodded, how could he not understand, because he also hoped so in his heart.
He hoped that she would not be wronged or hurt, and would stay by his side happily forever.
But all of this must be fought for and maintained by oneself.
"As long as you understand." Mu Qihua patted his shoulder gently and said sincerely: "I know you are an excellent child. It was precisely because of this that I was able to hand over Ling'er to you with confidence, so please
Don’t let us down.”
"Father, please rest assured, I will not let you and Ling'er down." Xia Yihan stood up and solemnly made a promise.
He knew that Mu Qihua and his wife were sincerely good to Hu Ling'er, so in his mind, he had long regarded them as his parents.
"Go." Mu Qihua waved his hand, his eyes full of trust.
Having lived to this age, he still has some ability to see people, and he also understands that there are some twists and turns among young people, which is beneficial and harmless to them. As long as it doesn't go too far, he can only let them go.
But if one day, he really breaks his daughter's heart, then he will never be polite.
Xia Yihan left Youxiang's Mansion. He did not go back directly to Prince Han's Mansion, but went to the place where he used to live.
In the simple and secluded room, he was thinking quietly alone, thinking...
Thinking back on everything he had known since he met Hu Ling'er, and then thinking about the past between him and Sang Rong, he realized that there was no comparability between the two.
Before meeting Hu Ling'er, every day of his life was boring. Whether he was robbing the rich to give to the poor or helping Qi Hongqing, it felt like it was just a mission concept.
But after getting to know Hu Ling'er, no matter what he did, he would always have a kind of care and longing. As long as he was with her, he would feel extremely happy, which he had never felt before.
Therefore, he identified her, and even if she fell off the cliff and her life or death was unknown, he still insisted on finding her.
But after he got Hu Ling'er back, what did he do?
Thinking about it carefully, he has really never done anything for her in such a long time. On the contrary, he has always brought her danger one after another, and he has now caused her direct harm.
He is really not a qualified husband. Hu Ling'er blames him and blames him, but he admits it.
Five days, he only gave himself five days. In these five days, he must solve all the problems, and then take Hu Ling'er away from this place of right and wrong and go where she wants to go.
On this day, it was already dark when Xia Yihan returned to Prince Han's Mansion. He did not go to see Sang Rong. Instead, after having dinner, he went directly into Hu Ling'er's room and lay on her bed.
This room and this bed originally belonged to the two of them, but so many things happened in the meantime, making it impossible for him to hold her and sleep properly.
But as soon as he thought of those times when he sneaked into bed while she was sleeping, and then held her in his arms, a happy and sweet smile appeared on his lips.
This is what he owes her.
Xia Yihan didn't know when he fell asleep, but in his deep sleep, he didn't know that there was a thick cold air filling the guest room not far from him.
Sang Rong lay quietly on the bed, but his eyes were staring at the top of the bed for a moment. His hands on the quilt were tightly pulled, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
She knew that Hu Ling'er had left Prince Han's Mansion this morning, and she also knew that Xia Yihan ran to find her after leaving her place. She also knew that Hu Ling'er's girl Xiaomiao packed her things, and Min Mo left next to You Xiang's Mansion.
Although she was very happy that Hu Ling'er was temporarily living in Youxiang's Mansion, the anger in her heart instantly ignited after she knew that Xia Yihan had returned home but didn't even look at her.
She knew Xia Yihan's character well. If he believed in one thing or one reason, he would continue to do so.
Now it seems that no matter whether she is dead or alive, or has lost her innocence, no matter how complicated and tangled Xia Yihan's heart is, and how guilty and ashamed she is, his final decision will not change.
So, now it was her turn to appear. Since Hu Ling'er had left Prince Han's Mansion, she wanted to make sure that she could never come back.
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Sang Rong slowly closed his eyes.
The next morning, Sang Rong still didn't see Xia Yihan, and learned from the maid that he had gone to court early.
Xia Yihan went to court, which was an extremely rare event.
He deliberately avoided Qi Hongqing and Sang Jinde when they came yesterday, so today, is he going to take the initiative to meet them?
Sang Rong couldn't guess what Xia Yihan was thinking, so he stopped thinking about it. After hastily having breakfast in the room, he told the maid that he wanted to go for a walk in the garden alone.
Wearing a cloak, Sang Rong walked alone on a path covered with fallen leaves.
After lying in the room for two days, all the bones in her body seemed to be soft. If she didn't leave, she might really become a disabled person.
His hand slowly touched the veiled face. This face was completely ruined, all the martial arts in his body were gone, and now even his innocence was lost.
I wonder if any man would want her today?
No more, absolutely no more, so if she can't stay with Xia Yihan, then she will only die.
"Click, click." The sound of her feet stepping on the leaves made her feel upset. Looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, she frowned tightly. Then she turned her eyes and saw two Xiao Si walking by not far away. She immediately
He shouted: "You two, come here!"
The two young men had actually noticed her a long time ago and knew that she was the concubine that the prince was about to marry, but because of her identity, they could only stay away from her.
Now that he heard her calling them, he could only step forward and say respectfully: "Miss, please give me your instructions."
Looking at the two submissive people, Sang Rong looked very unkind. He pointed at the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground and said, "What's going on with these leaves? Don't you guys clean them?"
Today’s word update is complete. Dear friends, happy Singles’ Day!!! Some people said that the heroine is too attractive. She eats in the pot and thinks about the bowl. In fact, I want to say that such a heroine is real.
Yes. If you are not sure about your feelings for a man, and there is a man around you who is very good to you and devoted only to you, wouldn't you be moved? Wouldn't our men's clothing be too sad in this way?
What? How can you be a charming man if you don’t even have the ability to be attracted by others?
