Chapter 194 I'm sorry, I didn't have time to save her
Upon hearing this straightforward threat, Chu Ling's face suddenly darkened.
The head of Huating County looked at him and had no intention of giving in.
The two were facing each other tit for tat, and there were layers of undercurrents hidden in the air.
Chu Xiu came over at some point and said casually: "They are still newlyweds, so naturally they don't want to separate. Why should I bring trouble to them at this time?"
These words temporarily helped Chu Ling get out of the situation, but the face of Huating County Master still didn't look good, "It's better to be like this, otherwise the days will be long, and I have plenty of time to take care of her slowly!"
Chu Ling tensed his chin and cupped his hands to her, "My dear, please leave."
With that said, he left the scene directly.
Chu Xiu looked at his back and slowly raised the corners of his lips. He finally knew where his elder brother's weakness was.
After sending the old lady back to her room at the end of spring, she slowly returned to her yard. The reason why she was not in a hurry to go back was simply because she didn't know how to face Chu Ling. Before Jiang Ya's matter could be resolved, another Weng Xiaohuan ran out.
, although Chu Ling had sternly refused, Shi Chunfen still felt a strong crisis. She had too many things to learn, but Chu Ling seemed not to be waiting for her to make progress.
For example, if Chu Ling had not left a back-up plan for the concierge this time when the second room was delivering a letter to the Caobang, she would have delayed his affairs. It seemed that if she wanted to secure her position as the eldest mistress of the Chu family, she would have to continue to work hard.
OK.
After finally walking back to the house, Lu Tao told her that Chu Ling was taking a bath in the house, but he hadn't had time to have breakfast yet.
She personally brought breakfast into the house and laid it out. She sat boredly at the table and listened to the sound of running water behind the screen. As she waited, she couldn't help but fall asleep on the table.
Chu Ling came out of the shower and saw her tired body. His tense expression instantly softened. He sighed inaudibly, stepped forward and picked up Shi Chunfen, and put her down gently.
When he got to the bed, he thought his movements were light enough and didn't disturb her at all. It wasn't until he turned around to leave that a hand suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and he stopped.
"Did I wake you up?" Chu Ling turned around and smoothed Shi Chunpin's hair.
Shi Chunfen laughed, grabbed his arm and sat up, "I wasn't very asleep at first, but I woke up as soon as you touched me."
Probably because her grip on his arm pleased him, Chu Ling sat down and hugged her into his arms, "You haven't slept all night, are you scared?"
"I'm fine." Shi Chunquin said frankly, "I'm just worried about Weng Xiaohuan's safety."
Thinking of what happened to Weng Xiaohuan, Chu Ling's face darkened and he said calmly: "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to save her."
"You've done a great job." Shi Chunfen took the initiative to hug his waist, raised his head and looked at him with admiration, "You were able to guess where the gangsters were hiding Weng Xiaohuan in such a short period of time, and they were able to get him there in time.
If she rescues her, I believe that even Weng Xiaohuan himself will never blame you."
"Really?" Chu Ling pulled his lips expressionlessly.
If they had known, he had already predicted the future, but he still couldn't stop it?
I'm afraid Weng Xiaohuan even wanted to kill him.
After all, he owed Weng Xiaohuan, and if he had sent people to keep a closer eye on him, the whole thing could have been avoided.
As if aware of his low mood, Shi Chunquin looked at him with some confusion and couldn't help but ask: "Is Miss Weng's condition very bad?"
Chu Ling lowered his head, and when he saw Shi Chunfen's eyes full of worry, he quickly nodded, "Yes, it's terrible."
She was not sane at the time, and she was bent on seeking death. When she came back to her senses later and thought about what happened to her, wouldn't it be even more unbearable?
For victims, perhaps only the moment of mental breakdown is the moment they truly escape, and every waking moment after that is repeatedly adding salt to their wounds.
Shi Chunquin fell silent. As a woman, she could completely understand Weng Xiaohuan's state of mind at this moment.
If this happened to her, she might not even have the courage to live.
"Can I go see her?" Shi Chunquin asked proactively.
Seeing Chu Ling's face full of confusion, she carefully explained, "There are some things that only women can talk about together."
Although Weng Xiaohuan has two younger sisters, she might not be willing to face her family after something like this happened. Instead, the appearance of a stranger might give her some courage to live.
Chu Ling understood her good intentions and nodded quickly, "Then when I take Arun there tomorrow, I will take you with me too."
When Chu Run was mentioned, Shi Chunfen's eyes darkened, and Chu Ling's face darkened, "Why do you seem to be unhappy all of a sudden?"
Is Chu Run so important in her eyes?
Seeing Chu Ling sizing her up, Shi Chunfen came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I just didn't expect that he would suddenly target you."
It was clear that she had a good relationship with Chu Run before, but he suddenly instigated her husband to take a concubine. This was the second time Shi Chunfen felt betrayed by Chu Run. The first time was when she learned that
When Chu Run hooked up with Yu Atu, two betrayals made her feel that she had completely lost this friend.
Seeing that she was not worth it for him, Chu Ling's expression softened and he said calmly: "It's normal."
Putting aside the fateful entanglement between him and Shi Chunquin, just because of his identity as the concubine of his second wife, he was destined not to become friends with him.
Shi Chunfen was stunned, and subconsciously hugged him tightly, "Why did you reject Na Weng Xiaohuan today?"
Although she knew very well that Chu Ling might not have done this for her, she still wanted to hear the answer from Chu Ling. Even if he just coaxed her, she would be extremely happy.
Chu Ling opened his mouth and was about to answer when Sang Pi's voice suddenly came from outside the house, "Uncle, Miss Jiang, please come over."
When he heard that it was Jiang Ya who came to invite him, Shi Chunfen couldn't help but tightly grasp Chu Ling's clothes with his fingers.
Chu Ling glanced down at her, gently took her hand away, got up and got out of bed and said, "You have breakfast first, and then have a good rest. I'll go to Jiang Ya's place to see you."
Shi Chunfen bit his lip lightly and looked at the man in front of him with some grievance, so he rejected Weng Xiaohuan, not for himself, nor because he disliked Caobang's dowry, but for Jiang Ya. Otherwise, how could he at this time,
Are you still in the mood to meet that woman?
Seemingly moved by her gaze, Chu Ling laughed, moved forward and pressed a kiss on her forehead, "I have already made my mother very unhappy by rejecting Weng Xiaohuan. I can't go back and ask Jiang Ya to go to her mother to complain.
If so, you may be the one who suffers the consequences."
