Chapter 189: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (18)
The moment he finished speaking, Bai Shan made his move. A round stone with the power to break through the air brushed past Su Yu's hair and hit the black-clothed man's wrist.
The man in black groaned and his wrist went limp.
Su Yu immediately seized the opportunity and ran towards Cui Ling. In panic, she didn't care about anything else. She grabbed his arm and hid behind him, sticking very close to him, with tears of fear in her eyes.
"cousin……"
Cui Ling protected her behind him and said in a gentle and soothing voice, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Su Yu survived the ordeal. Her legs were weak and she relied on Cui Ling's arm to keep from sliding down to the ground. She suppressed her sobs and said, "I was so scared..."
"It's all right."
Su Yu changed her hug from Cui Ling's arm to his waist, her body trembling slightly, obviously she had not yet recovered from the shock.
Cui Ling moved his fingertips twice, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and touched Su Yu's head, like stroking the little cat he raised as a child.
The man in black clothes next to him saw this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and waved his hand to let the masked man in black go away.
I don’t know how long it took, but Su Yu’s crying turned into soft sobs. She lay in Cui Ling’s arms, wiped her tears, and raised her head with red eyes.
Those eyes were as clear as if washed with water, with a hint of moisture, and red like a rabbit.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
Cui Ling couldn't help but touch her head again: "It was a misunderstanding, it's okay now."
"Misunderstand?"
Su Yu looked back carefully and found that the man in black who attacked her had disappeared. Her shoulders suddenly relaxed.
When he looked away, he suddenly caught sight of the man in black clothes beside him.
The same color clothes, like another masked man in black.
Su Yu was so scared that she buried her head in Cui Ling's arms again, hugged him tightly, and her body trembled slightly.
Then she heard a soft laugh, the voice was clear and melodious: "Han Zhang, am I that scary?"
Cui Ling also smiled: "She is timid."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Su Yu realized that she had misunderstood. She moved her head buried in Cui Ling's arms, carefully poked out one eye, and saw clearly the appearance of the person beside her.
He is as handsome from the front as from the side, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He has a calm and steady demeanor. He is serious when he is not smiling, but hearty and full of vigor when he smiles.
I don’t know if it was Su Yu’s illusion, but the person in front of her looked a bit like the eldest prince.
Relying on Cui Ling's protection, Su Yu looked at the man openly.
The man was not annoyed. He did not care for Cui Ling's sake and also wanted to watch the fun. Everyone knew that Cui Hanzhang, the eldest son of the Cui family, was a lonely and snowy girl, as light as a cloud and unattainable. It was really rare that there was a day when he would hug a woman and coax her gently.
However, he couldn't stay too long and had to regretfully give up the opportunity to find out gossip about Cui Ling.
After looking at Cui Ling, he turned and left.
He believed that Cui Ling could handle the rest.
The moment he turned around, the expression on the man's face suddenly became dull and lifeless. Obviously, every part of him remained the same, but the feeling he gave people was completely different.
After watching him leave, Su Yu slowly withdrew from Cui Ling's arms.
Even the most obtuse person could sense something was wrong.
There is no doubt that Cui Ling and the man knew each other. The man in black who wanted to knock her out was that man's subordinate. The reason why he wanted to knock her out could only be that the two of them didn't want to be seen by others when they met.
Thinking of this, Su Yu looked at Cui Ling anxiously: "Cousin, have I caused you any trouble?"
Cui Ling comforted him: "No."
There's no trouble yet.
"Just don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Su Yu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely not tell anyone."
Cui Ling nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Zen room to rest."
After this incident, she must be terrified, so it would be better not to involve her in subsequent events.
Su Yu agreed obediently and listened to him going back to rest. However, just after taking a step, her feet felt weak and she had no strength at all, like noodles.
She fell right into Cui Ling's arms.
Su Yu's face flushed instantly, and she cried with shame: "Cousin, my legs are weak..."
I was so scared that my legs went weak and I couldn't walk. This matter was so shameful and embarrassing no matter how I looked at it.
Bai Shan couldn't hold back his laughter, and the next second he received an expressionless glance from his young master, who grabbed his throat, and the laughter was forced back halfway through.
Baishan: "..."
Cui Ling thought about it, then bent down and picked up Su Yu.
Su Yu was startled when he suddenly jumped into the air. Realizing what he had done, she quickly pushed him away: "Cousin, is this not good?"
"Don't move."
Cui Ling explained slowly: "Don't worry, no one will come here. I'll ask Bai Shan to watch you and let you down when we get close to the meditation room."
Just turned the corner.
“…”
Silence, silence, and silence.
In addition to the silence, Su Yu also heard the sound of being slapped in the face.
Coming towards them, Lin Jinse, the first lady, Mrs. Lin, and Cui Yue all arrived.
The scene was extremely quiet for a moment.
Su Yu felt embarrassed for Cui Ling.
Cui Ling, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment at the beginning, but his expression quickly returned to normal and he remained calm.
"Mother, Mrs. Lin."
Strictly implement the famous saying "As long as I am not embarrassed, you are embarrassed."
Lin Jinse woke up as if from a dream, and pointed at the two people opposite with tears in her eyes: "Brother Hanzhang, you..."
Mrs. Lin frowned.
The eldest lady couldn't help but complain that her son was unreliable. He didn't want to give Su Yu to him as a concubine, but now he was hugging her in public and chose today to do it.
"What are you standing there for? Put him down quickly."
The eldest lady asked the maid to help Su Yu down: "Is your foot injured? Han Zhang, you are really a fool. Even if you are kind-hearted, you should know your limits. There are differences between men and women. Why don't you ask the maid to help?"
The eldest lady winked at them as she spoke, and she even had a reason ready.
Su Yu pulled Cui Ling and asked him to put her down.
Understanding what the eldest lady meant, she took the maid's hand and took a breath as soon as her right foot touched the ground: "Madam, don't blame my cousin, it's my fault. I walked too carelessly and twisted my foot accidentally. Fortunately, I met my cousin. I thought there were few people here and it would be troublesome to ask the maid, so I asked him to carry me back. It was my inconsiderateness. It has nothing to do with my cousin. I hope the eldest lady will forgive me."
After these words, everything that needed to be explained has been explained clearly.
The eldest lady's expression softened, and she felt even more favorable towards Su Yu.
Such a gentle, beautiful, sensible and tactful woman, who is also related to the mansion, is just right to be Hanzhang's concubine.
Mrs. Lin's expression also looked a little better. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least she could save face.
Only Lin Jinse didn't believe a word of what was said.
Her woman's intuition told her that these two people were definitely not as simple as Su Yu said.
But she didn't care. As long as Cui Ling admitted that there was nothing between him and Su Yu, she could pretend that she saw nothing.
Lin Jinse's beautiful face was wet with tears: "Brother Hanzhang, is this true?"
"It's like this." Su Yu was afraid that Cui Ling would say something she shouldn't, so she rushed to speak, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, nothing really happened between my cousin and me..."
"Shut up."
Lin Jinse interrupted Su Yu and glared at her with gritted teeth: "Did I ask you?"
Su Yu: “…”Okay, she shut up.
The system popped up quietly and complained quietly: [Host, what you just said really sounds like those scheming second female characters in idol dramas. ]
Su Yu smiled with a fake smile: [Thank you, no need to imitate me, I am you.]
Although she said this to the system, Su Yu swore that there was really no other meaning in that sentence. She was just explaining it too hastily without thinking.
Judging from the heroine's expression, she obviously doesn't think so.
A capital word "injustice" was engraved on Su Yu's forehead.
system:【……】
Cui Ling actually didn’t quite understand why Lin Jinse spoke in such a tone as if she was catching someone cheating, and why he had to explain to her?
My mother, Mrs. Lin, and Su Yu all had strange attitudes.
Young Master Cui, who had no idea of his mother's plan and was very emotionally dull, was puzzled. He vaguely thought of some ideas, but they disappeared in an instant, like sand slipping through his hands.
Finally, he frowned and looked at Lin Jinse, thinking that he should make things clear.
"Miss Lin, let's talk."
