The way Lu Ying is dressed, it looks like...she is someone who knows how to have fun.

Luo Lingyu bowed and greeted sincerely: "How are you, auntie!"

Her husband died early, and her son went to study abroad. Lu Ying returned to her mother's home in Jianye alone. She often stayed away from home and played outside. Even when her niece Luo Lingyu came to visit, Lu Ying did not take much care of her. Lu Ying's behavior was disliked by the first wife of the Lu family, who strictly abided by etiquette. Lu Ying also pouted and disliked Mrs. Lu, who sat at home all day without going out. The two sisters-in-law had different personalities and rarely got together. If Miss Luo Yunhuan had not called Lu Ying to help that night, Lu Ying would not have talked much with his sister-in-law.

Lu Ying smiled and asked, "What are the elder sister-in-law and Lingyu talking about in there?"

Mrs. Lu said calmly, "It's just some idle talk."

Seeing that the two of them were not on good terms, Luo Lingyu quickly smiled and changed the subject: "Auntie, have you come back from outside? Did you go horseback riding?"

Lu Ying: "Playing polo. I drank a few glasses of wine that night and came back late. I missed your party. Otherwise, I would have come to play. I'll take you to play polo some other day."

Luo Lingyu's smile froze for a moment: Playing polo? Forget it... This is probably one of the few things she is not good at.

Mrs. Lu sneered, "Is it possible that you still remember that you have such a niece?" She glanced at Luo Lingyu's extremely beautiful face. She was just angry, and she didn't like these two people in the first place, so her tone was particularly unpleasant. "You feel like a guest. You really don't treat yourself as an outsider."

Lu Ying disagreed: "This is my home. If you are not convinced, go talk to my mother."

Mrs. Lu was speechless and her lips trembled.

Because of Mrs. Lu's interference and Lu Ying's arrival, this small banquet ended too hastily. Everyone at the banquet was in a bad mood. After the gentlemen said goodbye, the ladies were also thinking about saying goodbye and returning to their own homes tomorrow. The Lu family had Mrs. Lu, so they didn't want to come and cause trouble for the time being. Seeing the faces of the ladies, Mrs. Lu felt a little regretful, thinking that she seemed to have offended some noble families. Because of this regret, when Luo Lingyu proposed to personally send Mrs. Lu and Lu Ying back, Mrs. Lu did not object.

Luo Lingyu sent the two women back, but it was a thankless task.

When Mrs. Lu and Lu Ying were not getting along, she liked to talk about Luo Lingyu. On the way back, when Mrs. Lu and Lu Ying were walking together, in order to suppress this young sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu made a lot of sarcastic remarks about Lu Ying's indifference to her niece who came to seek refuge, saying that the north and the south are different, and Ruyang and Jianye are also different. Besides, all the misunderstandings caused today were Lu Ying's habit.

Lu Ying looked embarrassed, because she did not have deep feelings for Luo Lingyu. She was willing to let Luo Lingyu and her sister come to the Lu family for the sake of her late husband. Mrs. Lu was right when she said she didn't care about Luo Lingyu. Lu Ying actually didn't know what happened tonight and what Luo Lingyu did. When Mrs. Lu asked her about it, she was not so confident.

Luo Lingyu lowered her head and followed the two men without saying a word.

The maids Lingyu and others who followed behind saw the cousin of the mansion become the outlet for the aunt and sister-in-law of the Lu family, and then looked at Luo Lingyu's slender and upright back. They sighed, thinking about the incident tonight. The cousin was obviously innocent, but was attacked. Tomorrow, the other cousins ​​will definitely say goodbye and leave, leaving this lady Luo to live alone in their house... This kind of torment, Miss Luo is really pitiful.

After finally seeing the two off, they walked along the path back to the courtyard. Luo Lingyu remained silent. The maid Lingyu, who was lighting the lamp, looked over quietly and saw the girl's eyes shining like stars, swaying as if she was about to fall. The tears in her eyes were like the rippling water of a lake, soft and beautiful...

Walking up the stone corridor, there was a row of pine and cypress trees on the left. Outside the trees, the lake water was clear, and the light floated on the girl's jade-like cheeks. The girl raised her eyes and saw the lights in the courtyards far and near. Luo Lingyu suddenly asked, "Is this the only way to leave 'Xuesuyuan' and return to the courtyards of other families?"

Lingyu didn't understand why she asked that, but answered respectfully, "Yes... but it's a bit far. Madam, why did we take a detour to come here?"

Luo Lingyu said, "I'm a little tired, let's sit down and rest."

The girl had endured a lot that night, and the maids were full of sympathy for her. As soon as Luo Lingyu opened her mouth, they did not suspect anything, and Lingyu and the other maids stopped with their lanterns. They stood ten steps away, not too far away, and saw Luo Lingyu sitting down with the handrail. Looking at the smoke outside the corridor from the railing, Luo Lingyu blinked away tears.

She couldn't stop sobbing.

Lingyu and other girls immediately lowered their heads and dared not look any further.

Luo Lingyu let her tears roll down her cheeks while counting the time. She wondered if those gentlemen who lived far away had walked by here on the way she sent Mrs. Lu back. It would be great if they hadn't come yet... She looked so charming and moved as she shed tears while looking at the water, full of grievance. She must have been seen by others.

She was already feeling wronged, and silently swallowing her tears without anyone knowing. Wasn't she feeling even more wronged?

Luo Lingyu leaned over the fence, tears streaming down her face. Her shoulders trembled from crying, and a faint "wuwuwu" sound came from her throat.

The profile is extremely beautiful.

The banquet at Xuesuyuan had not yet ended, but Lu Ying had just arrived, and Lu Sanlang and Liu Chu left the place, not allowing the servants to tell others. Lu Sanlang led Liu Chu to dig a pot of wine that he had buried for many years, and found the big lake that connected his home to the Qinhuai River. He tied the rope on the boat to the wooden stake on the shore, and Lu Sanlang got on the boat holding the wine pot, and Liu Chu followed closely.

Two gentlemen were sitting in a boat, with the shadows of pine and cypress trees above them. The wind was clear and the moon was bright, with a white sky floating in the sky. This was the most enjoyable part of life.

Lu Yun glanced at Liu Chu, who was sitting opposite him, and poured him a glass of wine. Liu Chu's face was hidden in the shadow of the trees, and he looked a little absent-minded. Lu Yun sneered, bent his knees, and leaned back with his elbows on his knees. The aroma of wine filled the air. Lu Sanlang looked at King Chen opposite him for a long time, and suddenly said in a strange tone: "Are you also interested in my cousin Luo?"

"You have been distracted since you left Xuesuyuan."

Liu Chu just stood outside the window with him and glanced at Luo Lingyu.
