Chapter 14 Chapter 14 It’s not like he’s causing trouble for her at all…
Gu Shi inexplicably became addicted to this feeling of pleasure and couldn't quit. He just wanted more.
For three consecutive days, Gu Shi stayed close to Lingchuan and hardly left the bed. Lingchuan felt that his body could not bear it anymore and he felt a little confused.
Although she had already done it, it wouldn't make a difference once or twice, and she wasn't afraid of it. There was nothing to be pretentious about, but she always felt that there was something strange about the matter.
It wasn't like he was venting his anger on her at all. Instead, it was like... like...
Lingchuan searched his brain but couldn't find a suitable metaphor.
All in all, things are very strange.
Gu Shi made himself clean and tidy, and didn't look tired at all. Lingchuan stared at him in amazement, thinking that he really looked like a decent person.
He felt her gaze, turned his head and said to her:
"Lingchuan, I'm busy with official business lately. It's urgent and I can't accompany you. I may have to leave for a while."
“Oh…oh.”
Lingchuan was just coming back to her senses. If she did that thing too much, her mind would become very strange and chaotic, she would often be distracted, and she would feel empty from time to time. She didn't like that.
It turned out that he was going to leave for a while, so he quickly cleared out all his desires from her so that he could be ready to go.
After taking a shower, she yawned listlessly. She really didn't have the energy to do anything, so she just lay on the bed and waited for someone to serve her.
Jinzhan poured her a cup of tea, but she was full of anger.
In the past three days, neither of them had hardly gotten out of bed, forcing her to go to great lengths to send the messy servants away to avoid giving others a chance to talk.
The two of them were happy, but she had to do the rest of the work in the yard by herself, and she had to keep watch at night.
Looking at Gu Shi's back, she felt inexplicably relieved. He was finally gone.
Jinzhan secretly cursed Gu Shi in her heart that he would be impotent from then on. She wanted to throw something to vent her anger, but sadly found that she could not afford to compensate him for anything.
She had no choice but to find a place where no one was around, take off her shoes, throw them hard twice to vent her anger, and then put her shoes back on by hopping on one foot.
What a miserable life... She really has a miserable life...
After a moment, Jinzhan came into Lingchuan's room with dark circles under her eyes and said listlessly,
"Girl, someone is looking for you."
Lingchuan suddenly sat up from the bed, feeling a little anxious. Could it be Qin Sizhao coming to find him?
"Help me put on my clothes quickly, so no one can see anything..."
She wore a lotus-colored, chest-length skirt and had no eyebrows drawn. The bruises and tear troughs under her eyes were quite noticeable, making her look a little haggard. She had to hastily put on some makeup to cover it up.
Lingchuan walked out in a hurry and saw a tall horse with a young man in a round-necked robe sitting on it... No, it was a girl. Yang Ruoyun was just wearing men's clothes, but it did not hide her gender characteristics. One could tell at a glance that she was a girl in men's clothes.
"Miss Yang..."
"Just call me Ruoyun. I promised to teach you how to ride a horse. Come on up."
"Forget it..."
Lingchuan was frightened by Yang Ruoyun's enthusiasm and turned around to run, but was caught by her directly.
Yang Ruoyun was skilled in archery and horse riding. She had a broad back and strong arms. She picked up Lingchuan horizontally and carried him onto the horse.
Lingchuan was very scared. The hot and bouncing horse under her body suddenly awakened some shameful memories in her, and she felt very strange.
She was afraid of falling off the tall horse, so she had to hold on to Yang Ruoyun's clothes and nestle in her arms.
This feeling was so awkward that Lingchuan's face turned red to his ears.
"Lingchuan, I only wear men's clothes for convenience, not because I consider myself a man. Why are you shy?"
Yang Ruoyun laughed heartily.
"Thanks to you, thank you for helping me."
Although she appeared cheerful, Lingchuan knew that some things, once done, were irreversible. Like a broken vase, even if you glued it back together, the cracks remained. After this incident, Yang Ruoyun could no longer be as cheerful as before.
Lingchuan secretly saw that the corners of Yang Ruoyun's eyes were a little red. She must have cried a lot.
She buried her head in her clothes and whispered:
"Let me make it clear first. I just helped you with this matter, but that doesn't mean I will give in to you in everything."
"Why? You like Qin Sizhao too?"
Lingchuan's face turned red instantly, he waved his arms and almost fell off the horse.
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense! There's no such thing!"
She grabbed her arms and held her in place.
"You're still refusing to admit it, and your face is so red... If you didn't like Qin Sizhao, why did you help me and hide?"
Being touched in the heart, Lingchuan could only purse his lips and lie in silence.
"Lingchuan, I feel uncomfortable too, but you can't force relationships between men and women. If it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be. I, Yang Ruoyun, can let it go."
Lingchuan didn't know what to say. She only knew that Yang Ruoyun was betrayed by her father, which must be much sadder than failing in love.
"I won't stay at the General's Mansion anymore... I came here today to say goodbye to you."
Lingchuan looked at her with some concern and asked:
"Are you going to run away?"
She nodded directly.
"I'm not only here to say goodbye to you, but also to Qin Sizhao. Let's go together."
Lingchuan knew that she was determined to leave, so he had no choice but to nod.
Yang Ruoyun hesitated several times, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Should she tell her that Gu Shi was planning to marry her?
But Lingchuan and Qin Sizhao are now in love with each other, and she doesn't want to interfere.
She thought again, if Gu Shi really wanted to marry her, he should tell her in person, why would he use someone else to tell her, so she decided not to say it.
Gu Shi sat in the carriage and drew aside the curtains to get some fresh air. He looked forward and saw a young man sitting on a tall horse, holding a girl in his arms.
The girl only showed one thin wrist, on which she wore a thin silver bracelet.
How could he not recognize it? He was the one who put that bracelet on Lingchuan himself last night.
Why was she sitting in another man's arms now... Gu Shi's breathing stagnated, as if a bucket of ice water was poured over him from head to toe.
He was only stunned for a moment, and the two men disappeared into obscurity.
Lingchuan and Yang Ruoyun went to Qin Sizhao's house together.
An old woman was lying on the ground with a dislocated leg and was unconscious. Qin Sizhao rolled up his sleeves, tightened his forearm muscles, and with a click, the old woman's leg bones returned to their original place.
He gave the old woman a few more injections, and she actually stood up tremblingly.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life."
Lingchuan was shocked when he saw this. This doctor had such strong hands that he could actually reset the bones with his bare hands.
A servant helped the old woman out of the house, and Yang Ruoyun spoke:
"Mr. Qin, I'm here to say goodbye to you..."
She recalled her earlier rash confession to Qin Sizhao, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"I'm here to say goodbye to you as a friend."
Qin Sizhao was a little surprised, raised his head and asked:
"What's wrong with the girl?"
"I didn't run away from home on a whim... I just felt that if I stayed at home I'd become a tool for marriage, so I might as well go out and explore the world."
Qin Sizhao nodded.
"Then Miss Ruoyun, please don't let your mother worry too much."
"I'll send a letter home when I'm settled down."
Yang Ruoyun exchanged a few more pleasantries, then stood up and left. Lingchuan knew that after she left, they would never see each other again, so he just stared at her without saying anything.
She felt a vague sense of envy in her heart. Yang Ruoyun was skilled in archery and horse riding. She was truly as free as a bird in the sky.
Unlike her, she has a child in her belly...
She looked at Qin Sizhao. He was a skilled doctor. As long as she was willing to speak up, he would be able to help her successfully solve this serious problem.
But it's not easy to confess to your loved one that you are pregnant with someone else's child.
Lingchuan couldn't say anything no matter what. He just watched him get a basin of water and wash and dry his bloody hands.
"Lingchuan, are you worried about Miss Yang?"
He simply grabbed her hand and took her a few steps closer to him.
"Miss Yang is not a reckless person when it comes to big things. I'm sure she has made preparations in advance. You don't have to worry too much about her."
Lingchuan didn't care that his hand was still on her wrist. Her mind was in a mess, all because of the fetus in her belly.
She lowered her eyes, and the silver bracelet on her wrist reflected a dazzling light, and all the unbearable past events suddenly appeared before her eyes.
This silver bracelet was put on her by Gu Shiyi himself last night when he was in a good mood.
Lingchuan's hands couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were instantly filled with shame and embarrassment.
"The style of this bracelet is quite novel, young lady."
Qin Sizhao's fingers gently stroked her bracelet with a slight smile. Lingchuan quickly pulled her hand back as if she was burned by those unbearable experiences.
She clenched her fists and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"But I was too reckless and made the girl unhappy?"
Qin Sizhao looked at her worriedly.
Lingchuan quietly reached his hand into his sleeve, exerted force suddenly, and pulled the bracelet off, leaving a red mark on his hand.
She hid the silver bracelet in her sleeve, trying to cover up her mistake. She stammered:
"No...nothing..."
Without exposing her embarrassment, Qin Sizhao smiled calmly and said:
"Why don't we go to the theater together?"
Lingchuan followed Qin Sizhao to the theater in a daze.
The two of them arrived in a hurry and could only watch what was available. A cheesy play was being shown on the stage called Madam Hibiscus.
The plot is roughly about a Han envoy who met a beautiful Jiaozhi girl while crossing the border. After the two fell in love, the Han envoy returned to the Central Plains, and the Jiaozhi girl raised their child alone.
When the child grew up and the girl became a woman, she brought her child with her across mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles to the Central Plains, only to find that the Han envoy had already become a prince consort and married a noble princess.
The princess questioned the innocence of the Jiaozhi woman. In order to show her loyalty to the man and prove her innocence, the woman decisively drew her sword and committed suicide. The man spent the rest of his life in regret.
What a stupid plot.
Lingchuan frowned as he watched.
The gems inlaid on the bracelet poked her arm hard, and Lingchuan felt sad for no reason.
I cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because I am already in it...
If it were outside the play, he would naturally be able to point fingers at the woman's stupidity from a high position, but once he became a character in the play, there would always be times when he was unable to control himself and was swept away by the tide of emotions from all directions.
Jinzhan was cracking melon seeds while watching the show from the side. She looked down and saw that the person sitting in the front row was Miss Lingchuan.
Looking again, she was shocked to see who was sitting next to her.
