"Mom, what do you want from me?" Leng Shuang asked doubtfully.
Mrs. Liu put down the tea cup in her hand, looked at Leng Shuang and smiled: "Shuang Shuang, I heard that you have been very close to Ting Yu recently?"
When she said this, her tone was very calm, she even had a smile on her face, and she didn't seem to be unhappy at all.
Leng Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and she had an intuition that Mrs. Liu must have noticed something.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Shuangshuang, Tingyu...do you have any difficulties? Did you have a quarrel?" Liu asked with concern.
"No," Leng Shuang shook her head: "Mom, I just..."
"Shuangshuang, Mom knows that you feel aggrieved, and I understand you very well. You don't have to worry, I won't force you to separate. No matter what happened to you in the past, you just need to remember that Tingyu is your husband now.
"
She looked up at Ms. Liu, with grief on her face: "Mom, I..."
"You are husband and wife, and you will be together sooner or later. I don't want Tingyu to be stigmatized because of me, and I won't let him be in any danger," said Liu.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I..." Leng Shuang gritted her teeth. She didn't know how to express her true inner emotions. She just simply wanted to be with Gu Tingyu and had no other ideas.
"Shuangshuang, this is the fate between you and Tingyu. Your fate is destined to be tied together." Mrs. Liu said softly.
"But……"
"There are no buts," Ms. Liu interrupted Leng Shuang, then took her arm and said, "Shuangshuang, you have to know that we are one."
Leng Shuang was silent, she didn't know how to refute Mrs. Liu.
"Shuangshuang, let's go see your dad. Your dad is still lying in bed and his condition is getting worse. Aren't you worried?" Mrs. Liu sighed: "I know you don't want to see your dad.
, but you can’t ignore his life.”
"I..." Leng Shuang really didn't want to see Leng's father, but Liu's words touched her heart, and she didn't want Leng's father to die either.
"Mom, I know what to do."
Leng Shuang left after saying that. After Leng Shuang left, Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, and then said to the nanny who was waiting next to her: "Send someone to watch Leng Shuang quietly to see if there is anything strange about her. If
If you have any, please report it to me immediately."
Father Leng is her only weakness, not only because Father Leng is Leng Shuang's father, but also because Father Leng is the brother of the Queen Mother.
"Yes, ma'am." Mammy nodded.
"Also," Mrs. Liu paused, and then ordered: "Have someone check to see if Ting Yu is married to that woman now. If he dares to lie to me, I will never forgive him."
"Yes, I obey your order."
————
"What did you say?" Leng Shuang heard that Leng's father was critically ill, and her head buzzed. She immediately stood up from the stool: "What do you mean when you say that my father is critically ill?"
"Miss, my wife wants you to go back quickly." the mother-in-law said hurriedly.
Leng Shuang immediately ran out of the house, and she rushed all the way to Leng Mansion. At this time, Mrs. Liu was sitting in the house, looking at Leng's father's pale face, Leng Shuang's footsteps stopped in place.
She walked in slowly. Liu's eyes glanced at Leng Shuang, then withdrew her gaze and said, "Shuang Shuang, are you here? You go take care of your father first. He needs you to accompany him now. Wait for him
When you wake up, I will send someone to tell you."
"Yes," Leng Shuang responded. She sat in front of the bed and held Leng's father's hand. Leng's father opened his cloudy eyes and glanced at Leng Shuang before closing his eyes again.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Leng Shuang asked, her voice a little more throaty.
Father Leng slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Leng Shuang, patted Leng Shuang's shoulder with his hand, and then sighed helplessly and said: "Silly girl, don't cry, I haven't lived enough yet,"
As he said that, he reached out and wiped away the tears on Leng Shuang's face: "Be good, don't cry."
Leng Shuang held back her tears and tried her best to smile brightly: "Father, don't worry, I won't cry, I will take good care of you."
Father Leng nodded, then closed his eyes again, with a faint smile still on his face: "Silly girl, take good care of yourself and don't wrong yourself. Although Ting Yu is a little older than you, he is still a human being.
He has good character and ability, and you are childhood sweethearts. You should also understand that Ting Yu is not an ordinary man. You have to hold on to him." As he said, his voice became much deeper: "Shuangshuang, you must remember my mother.
If so, Ting Yu is definitely not an ordinary person, so be careful."
Leng Shuang's heart twitched violently. She knew that what Leng's father said was for her own good, but she didn't know what she was going to do. She only had one thought now, she wanted to be with Gu Tingyu.
"Mom, I understand," Leng Shuang nodded, with a warm smile on his face.
"Well, you go and have a rest. Mom is here with your dad."
Leng's father was unconscious, and Mrs. Liu stood by and kept wiping the sweat on Leng's forehead.
"You are tired too, go and have a rest," Leng's father said weakly.
Ms. Liu shook her head, wondering where she could sleep now.
Her husband and she have been together for decades, and this love has not faded even as time goes by.
Suddenly, Mrs. Liu's arm was grabbed by Father Leng. She looked at Father Leng in surprise: "Master, you..."
"Shh..." Father Leng made a gentle gesture of silence and lowered his voice: "Listen carefully, there seems to be someone talking outside."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately pricked up her ears and listened. After a moment, her expression suddenly changed. She leaned into Father Leng's ear and said, "Did you hear it? It seems to be the Queen Mother's voice."
Father Leng nodded, with a complicated look in his eyes: "I'm afraid I can't hide this matter anymore, and people in the palace also know about it."
After Leng Shuang heard this, she froze on the spot. A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. She didn't expect that she was the last one to know the news.
"Dad, I'm going to discuss this with my mother," Leng Shuang pursed her lips, turned and left.
After returning to the room, Leng Shuang locked herself in the room. She took out a letter, which she had just written last night. She wanted to send this letter out.
"Shuang'er, I don't want to marry into the palace. The two of us are a pair of fateful couple, why can't we be happy together?" Leng Shuang never mentioned this matter, but she never forgot it.
"I can't bear to let you go. We have missed more than thirty years of time. Do we want to continue to miss each other? Shuang'er, we have lost so much. Can't the remaining time allow us to cherish each other?
, please stop being stubborn, okay?" Leng Shuang's eyes were slightly red.
"You're right, I've already missed too much, and I don't want to miss it again," her tears flowed down her cheeks and dropped on the letter paper in her hand.
Leng Shuang folded the letter paper and put it in her sleeve pocket, then picked up the pen on the table and prepared to write her wishes on the letter paper.
But when she was about to start writing, the door was pushed open.
"Shuangshuang," Leng's mother walked in quickly. She looked at Leng Shuang anxiously and asked, "Shuang'er, what are you doing?"
"I am writing a letter to my father," Leng Shuang said calmly. Then she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I will not separate from Gu Tingyu."
She looked at Leng Mu and said resolutely: "I am already his."
"Shuang'er..." Mother Leng opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say the second half of the sentence. She sighed, then turned and left. Don't be stubborn anymore. I know I don't have many days left now.
As long as I'm still alive, let's escape together, I don't want you to marry and suffer in the palace."
Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the letter, Leng Shuang's eyes were slightly red, and her tears fell onto the paper, leaving a mass of ink marks.
Early the next morning, as soon as she finished her meal, Mrs. Liu asked someone to call her to Father Leng's yard.
"Girl Shuang, you're here," Ms. Liu waved to her with a smile.
Leng Shuang frowned, and then walked to Mrs. Liu: "Mom, what do you want from me?"
"Your father has fallen ill. Please worry about it during this time." Mrs. Liu patted Leng Shuang's hand and said, "Shuang girl, you are a filial child. Mother knows your thoughts, but you don't
If you are suitable to stay in the palace, my mother will help you find a suitable candidate. When you find the right person, your mother will definitely let you get married in a glorious way. You can't refuse," Mrs. Liu said solemnly.
Leng Shuang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"Shuang'er, don't worry, Mom will definitely arrange your marriage properly for you," Ms. Liu comforted, "Just listen to Mom and wait until Mom helps you find a good candidate, we will discuss it in private.
Sneak out of the capital."
"I don't agree!" Leng Shuang raised his head, his eyes filled with anger: "If you don't agree, don't blame me for killing you!"
Leng Shuang said so categorically that Ms. Liu froze in place for a moment, and it took her a while to react. Her voice trembled and she said: "You...what did you say? Say it again!"
"I said I don't agree. If mother wants to force me, I will crash to death in front of you!" Leng Shuang said through gritted teeth.
"Pah!" A crisp slap came, and Leng Shuang's face instantly felt burning pain.
Leng Shuang covered her face and looked at Mrs. Liu in disbelief with sad eyes.
"You're crazy," Mrs. Liu was so angry that her whole body was shaking: "You are the only legitimate daughter of the Leng family. You can't be so willful. Your father and I are doing this for your own good."
"I've said it before, no matter who you are, you can't stop me from being with Gu Tingyu!"
Ms. Liu took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down. She said coldly: "Since you want to die, then you can do whatever you want. Your father and I won't stop you."
"I will not go to the capital," Leng Shuang said stubbornly. She knew that as long as she left here, she would definitely die without a burial place. In this life, she did not plan to set foot in the palace again, and she has no plans now.
Have the courage to face Gu Tingyu.
"If you want to die, just go ahead," Leng's mother's voice was extremely cold. Leng Shuang was the child she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy. She wanted her child to be happy more than anyone else.
Leng Shuang felt a chill in her heart when she heard what her mother said. She closed her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes, then opened her eyes again and said lightly: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of you."
My own."
"Humph," Leng's mother snorted coldly, then stood up: "Since you have made your decision, I will no longer advise you. I will pack my things now and leave here soon."
When Leng Shuang heard that Liu was leaving, she was dumbfounded.
Ms. Liu held her hand, her eyes filled with soreness, and she gently touched her daughter's head: "Mom knows that you are a well-behaved and sensible child. Although your father fell ill this time, I believe that he will get better.
"Mom, let's go first," she said, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and left.
After Mrs. Liu left, Leng Shuang sat by the bed. She looked at Leng's father lying on the bed, and her heart ached, but she also knew in her heart that she and Gu Tingyu had no fate at all, and she couldn't bear to worry Leng's father.
All I can do is be ruthless.
When she came to her senses, she saw Gu Tingyu standing by the window.
Leng Shuang hurriedly walked over. She squeezed Gu Tingyu's hand, then lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Gu Tingyu squeezed her hand and was silent for a long time before saying, "Shuang'er, I'll take you out of here. Don't worry, I will protect you well." This chapter has been completed!
