Chapter 17 Testing Each Other

After Cheng Yunshuo finished speaking, he carried Qiu Ling, who had fallen into the water, and left.

Only Xing Dairong was left standing there in a daze, looking at Cheng Yunshuo in disbelief as he walked away coldly and heartlessly with someone in his arms.

I was so angry that I was shaking all over.

He, he, how could he do this to her!

This man clearly said that he would only love her for the rest of his life!

That night, Cheng Yunshuo did not return to Yaguang Pavilion.

He stayed at Aunt Qiu's Qiuxiangyuan.

That night, Xing Dairong smashed a bunch of things in the Louguang Pavilion.

I cried and made a fuss for half the night.

It was already the next day when Lu Lingyun found out.

"Young Madam, the Crown Prince stayed at Aunt Qiu's place last night. However, Aunt Qiu used every trick in the book and the Crown Prince just slept in a separate room from her." Chun Xing came back and told Lu Lingyun the details.

"Why is that?" Chun He wondered, "Logically speaking, shouldn't the prince have broken up with that person?"

Lu Lingyun was rocking a small chair in the yard, smiling faintly, "There is no such thing as a breakup, it's just a test of each other."

"Testing each other?"

"Test who is willing to give in." Lu Lingyun smiled.

If a man and a woman do not have a common enemy to fight together, then the rest of the time will be a hundred battles a day between husband and wife.

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

It turned out that Cheng Yunshuo was used to Xing Dairong in everything. His love for Xing Dairong went beyond the rules and etiquette, far exceeding Xing Dairong's love for him, which meant that Xing Dairong suppressed him.

But now the two of them have encountered a major bottom line test, and Cheng Yunshuo doesn't want to give in anymore.

He wanted Xing Dairong to give in.

The fact that he stayed at Aunt Qiu's house last night but refused to sleep with her explained everything.

As for Xing Dairong, Lu Lingyun discovered during the few times she came into contact with her that she had an unspeakable arrogance. She didn't know where her arrogance came from, but her eyes and words showed contempt and disdain for everyone.

Look down on everyone and be arrogant.

Even Cheng Yunshuo.

So she kept forcing Cheng Yunshuo to make concessions and accommodate her in every way.

The two were in a stalemate and comparing themselves.

"Who does the young lady think will give in?"

"Of course it must be that person!" Chun He said disdainfully, "She spent half the night smashing things in the Lounge last night and then fell asleep. According to her usual temper, she would have banged on the door and made a scene."

Lu Lingjun smiled softly, "No, it's still Cheng Yunshuo."

"Why?" everyone asked.

Why?

Because Cheng Yunshuo still loves her very much.

It is always the one who loves more who gives in.

But there is no one in this world who always gives in. If you ask a person to give in too much, the relationship will be gone.

Lu Lingyun smiled but said nothing. Not long after, Xiao Wei ran in and reported, "Madam, the prince has returned to the Yaoguang Pavilion again."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lu Lingyun.

For a moment, everyone felt that Lu Lingyun was simply amazing. Their young lady really had planned everything out and seemed to have everything in her control with ease.

Lu Lingyun looked at these gazes and just smiled faintly.

She is not that amazing, she just has experienced more, seen more, and lived one more life than them.

"Send a piece of fabric and some brown sugar ginger tea to Aunt Qiu. She fell into the water yesterday and she was wronged." Lu Lingjun made the arrangements calmly.

"Yes." Chun Xing took the order from the side.

When Chun Xing brought the things back to Qiuxiang Courtyard, Qiu Ling was sitting in the yard cursing.

"What tricks did that vixen use to trick the prince into going around in circles?"

"She came from a brothel after all. Her methods of seducing people are amazing!"

Chun Xing heard these words and smiled, "Aunt Qiu, don't be angry, the young lady asked me to bring you something."

After hearing this, Qiu Ling looked at what was in Chun Xing's hand.

There is brown sugar ginger tea and a piece of good material.

"The young lady said that you were upset because you fell into the water yesterday, and she wronged you."

Qiu Ling's expression immediately improved. "The mistress is still kind."

"Who says it's not true? Our young lady is a kind person with a kind heart. That person always speaks nonsense in front of our young lady, and the young lady has never punished her."

After hearing this, Qiu Ling felt even more upset. "What an ungrateful vixen, she takes advantage of her favor to offend this and that. Just wait and see how I'll deal with her!"

Chun Xing looked at Qiu Ling and smiled softly, "Aunt Qiu, what else can you do?"

Qiu Ling thought about it seriously, "That's right! The prince loves the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I make the most. Now that the osmanthus flowers are in bloom, let's make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for him!"

Chun Xing's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

When Cheng Yunshuo returned to Yanguang Pavilion, he had already been given a huge stage.

But Xing Dairong had no intention of stepping down.

She locked herself in the room and refused to eat or drink.

Cheng Yunshuo asked people to deliver several things, but Xing Dairong smashed all the food.

After smashing so many things, Cheng Yunshuo lost his patience.

"Eat it if you want."

He was feeling very depressed.

She did something wrong, but she is still so angry!

He always coaxed her, and no matter how much he loved her, he couldn't stand such torture.

He stayed in the Shaking Pavilion until the afternoon, but he felt so suffocated that he left.

As soon as I went out, I saw two women picking osmanthus flowers in front of the osmanthus tree outside.

When Cheng Yunshuo saw this, he was reminded of his childhood when he, Qiu Ling and other people in the yard used to pick osmanthus flowers together.

He loves to eat osmanthus cake, and Qiu Ling will make cake for him with the osmanthus flowers she picks.

As Cheng Yunshuo was thinking this, he saw Qiu Ling's face among the people who were beating Guihua.

"Qiu Ling?"

"Prince, you've come at the right time. I picked a lot of osmanthus flowers and will make osmanthus cake for you later." Qiu Ling smiled sweetly at him.

It immediately brought back Cheng Yunshuo's memories of the past.

"You fell into the water yesterday and your typhoid fever hasn't healed yet. You must take good care of yourself." Cheng Yunshuo said.

"How can I be that important? Now that I can come out of the Buddhist temple, I will cherish every glance I get at the prince." Qiu Ling held the osmanthus flowers in her hands and walked gently and tenderly to Cheng Yunshuo.

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he compared it with Xing Dairong at home, who was good at smashing pots and bowls and could not be coaxed. He immediately saw who was better. Thinking of how he had driven Qiu Ling away for Xing Dairong, he couldn't help but say, "Sister Qiu Ling, don't be angry with me."

Qiu Ling, who was pursuing the victory, heard this title and her eyes turned red for a moment. "How could I be angry with the prince? As long as the prince still has me in his heart, it's fine. I am alone, and the only person I can rely on in this world is the prince."

That night, Cheng Yunshuo rested in Qiuxiang Courtyard again.

This time, Xing Dairong finally panicked.

"The prince hasn't come back yet!"

"Yes, the prince was at Sister Qiu Ling's place yesterday."

“Bang!”

Xing Dairong slapped Qiu Kui hard, "Who is your sister? You are such a scoundrel! Who is your master?"

Qiu Kui looked at Xing Dairong who was beating her in shock. This was the first time they met, and Xing Dairong was the one who held her hand and told her that everyone was equal and that she was no one's slave?

"What are you still doing here? Go and call the prince back to me!" Xing Dairong said angrily.
