295 Marriage is her stumbling block(1/2)
Gan Ling was secretly looking at Chen Biyue in secret, seeing that she was just wearing a coat. She should have wanted to rest just now, but when she came out to see the guests, she still had a veil on her face, giving people a particularly abrupt feeling, obviously there was something shameful on her face.
Chen Biyue winked at Linghua. Linghua came forward to take the food box and opened it. There were green pastries inside, which looked exquisite and delicious.
"These snacks look very good, and they must have been made with heart. Mrs. Lau has troubled her." She smiled faintly, as if there was something in her words, and it felt uncomfortable in Gan Ling's ears.
"It's all my family, so don't be so polite." Gan Ling smiled, her eyes still set on her veil.
Chen Biyue had already felt her eyes, but pretended not to know and asked Linghua to take the food box back to the room.
"Why did my wife suddenly remember to send snacks? I would be sad if I trouble you so much."
"No trouble, the chef just happened to make snacks. Sister Huan is greedy on weekdays, but you haven't eaten it before, so you brought it here."
"Mrs. I still miss you..."
Both of them pretended to be hypocritical, put the past conflicts and disgust of each other in their hearts, and never forgot to remind them, but they were very natural and said kind and humble scenes. They were very polite when they put the food box and came over again. They happened to see such a scene.
Linghua has seen what Gan Ling’s attitude towards Chen Biyue over the past few days. If she was really worried, she should have come here as soon as the rumors spread outside. Chen Biyue naturally felt it more clearly, so her coldness was understandable.
Stepmother and daughter are always worse than their biological mother and daughter. Thinking of this, it makes people feel a little pitiful and lonely.
Linghua was still thinking about it, and the adopted mother and daughter on the other end had already gotten to the point.
"I plan to go to Hanchan Temple to burn incense tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
"Does the third sister go too?"
"They sisters are all in the girls' courtyard, and you are the only girl left in the mansion. You will be bored sooner or later when you stay in the yard all day. It's better to go out and relax."
"I heard something happened to Hanchan Temple before. Can I still go to it now?"
Gan Ling heard a little bit of caution from her tone, probably because she was concerned about Mrs. Gan. After all, only Mrs. Gan in the entire Chen Mansion often went to Hanchan Temple to listen to Zen and burn incense. She not only respected the temple, but also respected the monks.
Although she did not show any attitude after Huixian had an accident, and she did not go to the temple again, it made people unable to understand her thoughts at all, so she could only try not to mention it.
"We went to ours, just to have incense and ask for the Buddha's blessing. Recently, there have been so many things in the mansion, and I always feel a little panicked. It's better to go and worship the Buddha." Gan Ling sighed, and there was a little regret in her sigh.
"The Buddha can't even protect the monk who serves him. Who can he protect?"
Gan Ling frowned, "Jess Yue, how can you..."
"Madam, it is said that there is retribution for cause and effect in this world. Whoever makes a mistake is to anger the punishment of heaven. If you escape from retribution, you will not be able to escape from retribution. Even the Buddha will watch coldly. What's the use of praying for more? It's just a way to seek comfort."
Gan Ling's eyes turned cold, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with what she said, and the atmosphere immediately solidified.
Chen Biyue's words seemed to be talking about Huixian, but in fact they seemed to be alluding to someone who deliberately said such words.
"Just Yue, how could you be so disrespectful to the Buddha? It was clearly for the Shen Mansion..."
"Madam, do you believe that people will be retribution? Do you believe that there are evil spirits in your life? That evil spirit will disperse the good fortune of everyone around you?"
The second time she interrupted her, her watery eyes were as deep as ink, staring at Gan Ling so hard that she made Gan Ling feel a little scared, as if there was a ferocious beast in her eyes that could rush out at any time to bite the person into pieces.
If you believe in retribution, you will agree with what she said before, and also agree with the rumors that she is the fate of Tiansha Guxing. Even if Gan Ling truly agrees with it, she cannot say it at this time.
Gan Ling's face changed a few times, and finally she showed a decent smile, as if she heard someone making some small jokes, and even ridicule and contempt passed through her eyes.
"My sister, whether I believe it or not, there are indeed many things happening in the Shen family now, and one thing is more unexpected than the other. It is always good to go and worship it. Even if you seek comfort in your heart, it is better than doing nothing, don't you?"
Chen Biyue looked at her and suddenly curled the corners of her lips, "Is it because I was so mean and stubborn, or is it because my wife is right?"
She was so easy to obey, but there was a ghost. Seeing that she looked obedient and clever, she was not as cold and aggressive as she had when she confronted her before, she suddenly felt a lot of uneasiness in her heart.
"Linghua, go and tell Wenci, and said that my wife invited me to go to Hanchan Temple to burn incense together, and ask my grandfather whether he agrees or not."
Gan Ling's expression changed and she wanted to stop the diamond flower, but the diamond flower was slipping fast, and Chen Biyue blocked her intentionally or unintentionally, and could only watch the diamond flower leave.
"Just go to Hanchan Temple and ask the old man what he is doing?" Gan Ling was a little annoyed and pulled down her eyebrows. The expression on her face was no longer as friendly and polite as she was just now.
"I always report my whereabouts to my grandfather when I leave the mansion. Recently, it is the troublesome autumn of the Shen family. My grandfather specifically reminded me this morning that if I want to leave the mansion in the future, whom and where to go, I must ask Wen Ci to ask him. Only with my grandfather's nodding will I dare to leave the mansion."
She was very sensible, but Gan Ling's face was extremely difficult to see.
After a while, Linghua came back.
"I asked the aunt Ci, saying that the old man would not let the girl go out, and asked the aunt Ci to tell her wife that it would be best to stay in the mansion recently. If there is nothing special, don't leave the mansion, and don't take the girls out of the mansion, otherwise if something happens..." Linghua looked at Gan Ling hesitantly, "It's all counted on the wife's head."
Gan Ling's expression was a little embarrassed. Chen Biyue smiled faintly and pretended not to see it. However, the smile that jumped up her eyebrows looked in Gan Ling's eyes. It was as if she was mocking her.
"It's a pity that I'm wasting my wife's kindness. In fact, I don't have to go with me, and the wife can also go there alone. If the Shen family eliminates the disaster in the future, it will definitely be the wife's credit, and my grandfather will no longer dare to say that the settlement is on the wife's head."
No word is said to be pricked on her heart, and Gan Ling has no interest in staying here to be abused.
He came over with a smile with a snack, but when he returned, he looked gloomy and couldn't help but leak his anger. Linghua looked back and saw her girl's annoying ability.
"Girl, will the Duke really want you to report everything you need to leave the house in the future?"
"It depends on my mood."
Chen Biyue threw down this sentence, and even threw the puzzled Linghua behind her and went back to her room to rest.
Gan Ling took the initiative to invite her, but it was not a good thing no matter how she thought. What was her idea in her heart? Something happened to Hanchan Temple. The Shen family was extremely sensitive at this time. At this time, they would definitely have bad intentions when they left the mansion and entered the temple.
It is the best idea to use Chen Qi to suppress her. On the other hand, it can also remind Chen Qi to see who will easily be restless when he is particularly sensitive.
The Shen family did not intentionally hide the matter of breaking the engagement with the Zhu family, but for some reason, the news was not spread at all, and people outside have been talking about this matter.
Many people scolded Chen Bishuang, mocked Chen Biyue, and envied Zhu Zhao, but more people felt curious and didn't understand why Chen Bishuang had such a thing happened to Zhu Zhao, and Chen Biyue was still unwilling to terminate the engagement with Zhu Zhao.
Linghua knew these words and was angry, but she didn't dare to say them to Chen Biyue. Some people said something ugly and vulgar, and they were really unpleasant, so the girl simply refused to leave the house and refused to let her know. However, what she didn't know was that someone had done this for her.
The notes delivered regularly every night are filled with outsiders’ statements about this matter. A sentence every day, thanks to the blessing of notes. Chen Biyue feels that it is not unbearable to stay in the yard all the time.
She treated all those words as jokes, which could relieve her boredom.
"When will you disappear completely?" She threw the note in her hand on the table and said to the window.
A long shadow hung above the window like a ghost. After Meng Liu and Meng Qi were sent to Shen Mansion, the shadow had not been seen for a long time. She thought he had returned to the man, but she didn't expect it to appear again in the past few days.
"It doesn't matter until Miss Shen and the master again."
She raised her eyebrows when she heard this, picked up the note from the table again, and waved it gently, "What are you showing me this for every day?"
"Take aside Miss Chen."
"Is it to relieve him? No matter how i am free, I have no interest in wasting my time on this."
Qifeng added after she finished speaking, "...by the way, I will reflect on Miss Chen."
Chen Biyue: "...what should I reflect on?"
"The master gave the order, worried that Miss Chen would be confused by the man and forget what she should do, so she must reflect on herself."
"I told him not to give it away in the future. Even if I was confused by a man, I would remember that I was working hard for him."
Qifeng didn't answer again, and disappeared outside the window with a squirt.
When she was sleeping in a daze in the middle of the night, she vaguely felt someone was in front of her bed. Her fingers moved, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head. She suddenly woke up, but she was slow to react. Before she got up, she was knocked unconscious by the hand that the man quickly reached in.
When I woke up again, I was in another bed.
She blinked and stared at the bed beam on the top, feeling a little familiar, as if she had been in this place before. She reached out to touch the quilt, and the touch was also very familiar, it was her own quilt.
"Where is this place?" She turned her head and looked at the figure sitting outside through the curtain beside the bed.
"As people wake up, they still ask such stupid things." The man said lightly.
The feeling here is very familiar to her. It is the room she has been in. Last time she blocked the enemy's plot for Shao Yan and was taken back to the Yu Prince's Mansion. It was the wounds she had been cured in this room.
She sat up, reached out and touched the back of her neck. It hurt a little. She touched her body, and was wearing the clothes she had when she was sleeping. It seemed that she was brought over by someone and the quilt.
"Send me back."
"Are you ordering me?" He walked over, accompanied by the faint fragrance of bitter snow lotus, and his figure looked taller in the darkness, almost covering her whole person.
"Do you want to settle the score if you ask me to bring me here?" She still remembered what she said to Qifeng. She just slept well and was changed into places with a tough one. She was beaten roughly for no reason. She was not so swearing.
"Have you forgotten what I left to you?" He sat on the edge of the bed, and the curtain was pushed away by one hand, completely clearing the blurred vision of each other. There was no light in the room, only a diagonal window tilted into the diagonal window, and the outline of the other person's face could be seen vaguely.
"busy."
"This is not a reason. Are you becoming more and more presumptuous by being alone?"
"You have someone robbed me here, are you still right?" Shen Biyue was also angry because she was disturbed by someone for no reason.
"Why do you have to say so badly?" His eyes swept across her face, as light as feathers, but seductive.
She frowned and lowered her eyes, "I don't care about the words circulated outside. Even if you write them to me every day, it will not have much impact on me. I will do what you said, and there is no need to do the extra things."
"You really think you are so idle and have to do those extra things for you!" Shao Yan's voice became cold inexplicably.
She didn't notice the strangeness in his tone, but felt a little confused, "I'm done, I'm going to sleep, and I'll send me back,"
The curtain hangs down again, and he stands up, and the already lingering cold air on her body becomes more intense, making her unconsciously wrap the quilt on her body.
"I heard that you and the Zhu family have retired from marriage?"
She did not hesitate and told the truth directly. She had no intention of hiding it, and she would not have been hiding it for too long.
"As long as you don't get married, marriage will become a stumbling block for you."
Shen Biyue was silent for a moment, "It will be like this sooner or later. As long as it is a girl's house, she always has to betroth others. This is also powerless."
"That's right, but you don't think so, otherwise you wouldn't have planned to break the engagement with the Zhu family."
