Chapter 33

Shen Wangyou's kiss was very gentle. He carefully traced her shape, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, with a very rhythmic rhythm.

Not long after, Shen Wangyou opened Lu Ling's teeth and nimbly got in.

Lu Ling felt like he was drowning in water and couldn't breathe.

Shen Wangyou gently stepped back, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: “Breathe.”

Lu Ling's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he could not see the person in front of him clearly. Just when he recovered a little, Shen Wangyou covered him again.

Lu Ling slowly opened his clenched hands and stroked Shen Wangyou's back.

Lu Ling's mind was in a mess, he didn't know what to do, he just followed Shen Wangyou's actions to cater to him.

When Lu Ling's face turned red and she could no longer stand, Shen Wangyou finally let her go.

Lu Ling didn't expect that Shen Wangyou, who usually looked like a gentleman, could do such a thing without blushing or feeling nervous.

She originally wanted to ask him if he had done this before, but then she remembered that Shen Wangyou had told her that he had never been with other women, and she was the first woman he had had intimate contact with in his life.

After Lu Ling calmed down, he asked Shen Wangyou: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​doing this?"

Shen Wangyou doesn't look like someone who would do these things on weekdays. Besides, he was shy when he took off his clothes last time. Why is he so bold today and even dares to kiss? Someone must have taught him.

Lu Ling thought about it and unconsciously touched the soft part that Shen Wangyou had just kissed.

Shen Wangyou saw it, laughed, and said: "No one taught me, I learned it by myself."

Shen Wangyou would never admit that he was jealous.

When Che Bin saw Lu Ling speaking just now, he kept staring at Lu Ling, with a little more admiration in his envy, and a little more love in his admiration.

He won't admit his mistake.

In order to prevent this person from taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Wangyou had to declare his sovereignty first and destroy that person's idea as soon as possible.

Originally, he wanted to drive the person away, but the person had done nothing wrong, and Lu Ling would definitely not agree to drive the person away for no reason.

Shen Wangyou thought about it and decided that as long as he didn't overstep the boundaries, he wouldn't make things difficult for him.

When Lu Ling heard Shen Wangyou's answer, he tapped Shen Wangyou's head with his hand: "You are the only one who is self-taught?"

Shen Wangyou was confused: "What's wrong? After all, I was an official."

Lu Ling shook his head. Although Shen Wangyou had good talents, he couldn't do or think of anything to please girls.

Otherwise, why would she have to coax him for so long before she finally got him.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, Lu Ling didn't continue to ask, and said perfunctorily: "Well, you are indeed good."

As he spoke, Lu Ling patted Shen Wangyou’s head as if to comfort a child.

Lu Ling glanced at the petals on the bed and asked Shen Wangyou: "How are you going to sleep tonight?"

Shen Wangyou was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lu Ling was talking about the flower petals on the bed.

"I'll clean it up right away."

Shen Wangyou said to clean up and she did it without any carelessness. Before long, not only the bed, but the whole room was cleaned.

While Shen Wangyou was cleaning, Lu Ling sat at the table drinking tea and watching him.

The next day, Lu Ling got up early to pack her things. Actually, there wasn't much to pack, but this was her first time opening a shop, so she was a little nervous.

Since I can't sleep, I might as well get up early.

Wu Gang unveiled the plaque, and Lu Ling did not go out.

Firstly, there were many people around, and although Wu Gang said that Lu Ling would not be arrested again in Ningzhou, there were always unexpected things, so Lu Ling thought it was better to be careful; secondly, this shop originally belonged to Wu Gang, so it would be more appropriate for Wu Gang to reveal it.

The conversation outside was very lively. Lu Ling, with a veil covering his face, was settling accounts inside. Seeing Lu Ling here, Shen Wangyou didn't want to join in the fun, so he stayed with Lu Ling.

The shop opened today, and with the arrival of the new governor Wu Gang, many people came to the store. Che Bin and the other three were a little overwhelmed, so Lu Ling also went out to help greet the customers.

These embroidery pieces were all embroidered by Lu Ling herself, so she is naturally familiar with them. She can answer many questions asked by customers fluently.

In the evening, Lu Ling did some accounting and found that he had earned a lot, but it was still far from the target number.

Lu Ling is the only embroiderer in the shop, so when she is not busy, she is embroidering.

The business in the store is good. Everything Lu Ling embroidered today was sold out before tomorrow.

Seeing Lu Ling working so hard, Shen Wangyou felt a little distressed and chatted with Lu Ling before going to bed at night.

"A Ling, why don't we hire a few more people and let them learn embroidery like you and then sell it. You won't have to work so hard."

Lu Ling thought about it and shook his head to refuse.

Hiring people requires paying wages, which means she is a little slower than earning a hundred taels of gold.

Thinking of this, Lu Ling felt that he was a bit stingy.

Shen Wangyou naturally knew what Lu Ling was thinking, but if that were the case, Lu Ling would be too tired, and he was reluctant to let go.

He needs to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

"Jiang Yun, why are you here?" Lu Ling looked at Jiang Yun and Lin Yao, feeling a little confused.

Early this morning, as soon as Lu Ling opened the door of the shop, he saw Jiang Yun and Lin Yao walking over.

Jiang Yun was confused when he heard Lu Ling ask this: "Miss, it's not you..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Yao interrupted Jiang Yun and said, "We have nothing to do when we go back. I thought Miss A Ling would be too busy now that she has opened a shop, so I came to help you."

Originally, he wanted the two to go back to the village and live a good life, but he didn't expect them to come over again. Lu Ling didn't refuse and let them into the house.

"Miss Aling, I can do some housework, but my stitches aren't as delicate as yours. Could you teach me?"

As soon as she entered the house, Lin Yao asked Lu Ling.

"sure."

Of course, Lu Ling understood what Lin Yao meant. He taught her the embroidery and sold Lin Yao's embroidery in the store. From another perspective, Lu Ling didn't have to get up early and stay up late to embroider things.

Shen Wangyou also came down from the stairs. He was not surprised to see Jiang Yun and Lin Yao. He yawned and said, "You came so early."

"I thought I'd come here before the store opens so I can help," Jiang Yun said.

Seeing the two of them talking like this, Lu Ling seemed to react. Shen Wangyou had just said yesterday that he wanted to hire someone, and today Jiang Yun and Lin Yao came. It seemed that he had written a letter to ask them to come over.

Lu Ling guessed it, but didn't say anything and was busy entertaining the guests.

During lunch, several people sat together to eat, including Che Bin and the other two.

They originally refused to eat at the same table with Lu Ling and the others, but Lu Ling said that he didn't have that much food and everyone was the same. Finally, a few of them agreed to eat with Lu Ling and the others.

Even so, the three of them were still a little restrained. After all, they had always eaten outside or in the woodshed and had never eaten with the host.

So the three of them just focused on eating at the table without saying a word.

After dinner, Lu Ling taught Lin Yao how to embroider while Shen Wangyou and others greeted the guests.

When it was time to close the store, Wu Gang arrived.

"Miss Lu, do you know what happened to the Xie family?"

"Xie family?" Lu Ling shook her head. She had lost contact with Xie Yuwang since she left the military camp and didn't know what had happened to the Xie family.

"Didn't Uncle Xie get recalled to the capital by His Majesty?" Lu Ling asked.

"Yes, but the Xie family returned to the capital, not to let General Xie retire, but..."

"But it's to undermine the Xie family." Shen Wangyou said.

Wu Gang nodded and said, "Xie Heng has been in Shuzhou for many years and has a certain prestige in Shuzhou. Your Majesty is suspicious and naturally does not want the Xie family to manage Shuzhou's military affairs anymore."

"How is Uncle Xie now? Is there any hope for him?" Lu Ling felt a little worried when he heard Wu Gang say that.

"Although General Xie has lost his real power, the Emperor, remembering his many years of fighting for Daliang, has not treated him badly in life."

After hearing what Wu Gang said, Lu Lingxin finally felt relieved.

"only……"

Lu Ling's heart was in his throat.

"Just what?"

"When I was in the capital, General Xie told me that they had been ambushed in the barracks, and General Xie was injured."

"What?" Lu Ling didn't expect that such a thing would happen after he left.

"Are you from Baipu?" Lu Ling asked.

"No," Wu Gang shook his head, "it's Liu Yong."

"Liu Yong?" Lu Ling was puzzled. Didn't Liu Yong come to deliver the imperial edict that day? How did he become the one who ambushed the military camp?

"That's right. Liu Yong had always disliked General Xie, and for some reason they had a conflict. On the way back, Liu Yong set up an ambush and intended to kill General Xie."

Wu Gang became angrier as he spoke, his eyebrows pointing to the sky.

"What about Liu Yong?" Shen Wangyou asked.

"General Xie was a brave warrior, and Liu Yong was killed on the spot."

"Did Your Majesty say anything?" Lu Ling asked.

"When His Majesty learned of this, he was immediately furious and exiled Liu Yong's entire family to the northwest."

Lu Ling thought for a moment and then asked, "Is this what you came to tell me today, Master Wu?"

Wu Gang nodded and shook his head, saying, "I know the Lu and Xie families are on good terms, so I thought of telling you about it today. There's one more thing..."

Wu Gang took out another jade pendant.

It is almost the same as the two pieces in Lu Ling's hand before.

"You gave me the jade pendant that day, and I thought it looked familiar. Yesterday, I suddenly found it in the box and thought it might be useful, so I came to find you."

Wu Gang handed the jade pendant to Lu Ling and said, "This jade pendant was originally given to my wife by an old man when she was shopping."

"elder?"

"good."

The jade pendant that Jiang Yun brought was also given by the old man, and so was Wu Gang's. Lu Ling suspected that the two were the same person.

"Did he say anything?" Lu Ling asked.

Wu Gang shook his head.

Lu Ling could feel that these things were not accidental. Someone must know something, and this jade pendant was the clue, so he gave it to them.

"Thank you, Lord Wu. If I have the ability in the future, I will repay you with gratitude." Lu Ling said gratefully.

"Can you please let me keep this jade pendant? I have a feeling it's related to my father's case."

Wu Gang said that he originally wanted to give her the jade pendant, and then asked someone to bring a lot of cloth.

Before leaving, Wu Gang talked to Lu Ling for a long time, and finally told Lu Ling to come to him if he had anything to do and not to be embarrassed.

Lu Ling nodded, very grateful.

Back in the house, Shen Wangyou was already lying on the bed, looking at the three jade pendants.

Lu Ling walked over and asked him, "Did you find anything?"

Shen Wangyou shook his head and said that he didn't find anything, but was just curious about who the owner of the jade pendant was.

Lu Ling also took a look and found no clues.

This jade pendant is so strange.
