Chapter 260 She Must Have a Child |

After locking himself up for three days, Cheng Yunshuo came out of Yuerong Pavilion. After coming out, he was a completely different person.

He became silent, and the sharpness in his eyes was gone, but he looked more mature.

He did not ask about Du Ruo, nor did he drink to relieve his sorrow, or find Lu Lingyun to confide his troubles.

After he came out, he asked about the recent affairs of the Yu Lin army. He learned that Lu Lingyun had asked for a few days off for him and did not let him lose his job. So he put on armor and went to take up his duty.

After coming back, he took the initiative to go to Bixi's place.

Perhaps it was because the new girl, Bixi, was too much to his liking. She had a face very similar to Xing Dairong's, and was gentle and sensible, very good at observing people's words and expressions and would not irritate his temper, or maybe it was for some other reason.

From then on, Cheng Yunshuo only doted on Bixi.

The other concubines in the courtyard no longer received any favor from him.

At the beginning, Linglong was not used to Bixi being spoiled, and wanted to use some means to lure Cheng Yunshuo back to Yaoguang Pavilion.

Unfortunately, it's of no use at all.

When Cheng Yunshuo saw her, he would only listen to a few words she said. He did not even bother to look at the tricks she learned in the brothel, and even scolded her not to do that in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

After a few times, Linglong completely lost interest in it and watched Cheng Yunshuo go to Bishuiyuan every day and only dote on Bixi.

Linglong went to Qiu Ling to vent her frustration, and kept scolding her, saying that flowers do not last forever, and that Bixi would certainly not last long either.

She was waiting to see how she would perform better than the previous ones after she was defeated!

Qiu Ling, however, felt that this time might be different.

It’s not that Bixi is so resourceful that she can hold a man’s heart tightly.

It was Cheng Yunshuo who changed.

She grew up with Cheng Yunshuo, from being childhood sweethearts, to seeing him meet his true love when he was young and energetic, and then to the women who came and left one after another.

She just felt that Cheng Yunshuo had completely changed since Du Ruo left.

She couldn't tell what had changed about him, but she could sense that this time Cheng Yunshuo might not be doting on Bixi just because he loved her. It was as if he was cherishing his last treasure, fearing that it would become fragile and disappear.

In short, Bixi was very favored in the mansion.

However, no matter how favored Bixi was, she could never surpass Lu Lingyun.

She felt that Cheng Yunshuo cherished her, and twice tried to ask Cheng Yunshuo to help her get the maid's indenture or to get Nanny Wan away, but once it came to Lu Lingyun's affairs, Cheng Yunshuo immediately changed his attitude.

He scolded her to respect her mistress, saying that all her decisions were right and that she had her reasons for everything she did.

Bixi was a smart person. As soon as she heard Cheng Yunshuo's words, she knew how important she was to him. She did not dare to overstep the line and kept a low profile.

Lu Lingjun learned about the events at Bishui Garden from Nanny Wan and chuckled.

Whenever Bixi said something like this, she would drag the person to her side the next day to make him behave properly.

After a few times, Bixi became very respectful to Lu Lingyun.

There wasn't even a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Aunt Li, I heard that you used to be the prince's cook. Why don't you cook a dish for me to try at noon today?" Lu Lingyun was taking care of Bixi.

When Bixi heard this, she said respectfully, "Yes."

She entered Lu Lingyun's small kitchen, and was surrounded by Lu Lingyun's people. Everyone was looking at Bixi. Bixi was very serious and careful. She sliced ​​the fish inch by inch without any detail, and she picked out all the bones of the fish cleanly. She even accidentally cut her hand while doing so.

"Auntie Li, your hand is hurt!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Bixi looked at the other maids and servants with a smile, wiped the blood quickly, and continued to fry the dumplings.

After a plate of squirrel fish was served, the maids told Lu Lingyun about Bixi's behavior.

Lu Lingyun glanced at the wound on Bixi's hand, picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bite of the fish, then nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Auntie Li's cooking skills are really good."

"As long as the young lady likes it, I will make it for you every day if you like it." Bixi stood aside respectfully.

She is different from the other aunts.

After seeing Lu Lingyun's methods, she had to be respectful and would never show any flaws or allow herself to be manipulated.

Seeing the well-behaved and docile Bixi, Lu Lingyun put down his chopsticks and said, "The prince will be distressed if he asks you to do it every day."

"Young Madam, how could this be? The prince has warned Bixi to serve you well. It is Bixi's blessing to be able to cook for you." Bixi said humbly.

Lu Lingyun smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness. I hurt my hand while cooking for me today. I'll ask Aunt Wan to bring back a box of scar removal cream. I must not leave any scars."

"Mrs. Xie!"

Lu Lingjun released Bixi, and it was almost the same after she was beaten to this state.

After all, she had no grudge against Bixi.

She was not the type of person to be asked to be a slave and serve her every day. Moreover, if they really did so, Cheng Yunshuo would definitely have complaints after a long time.

She just wants peace in her backyard. She doesn't care which flower blooms more beautifully or which flower attracts butterflies every day.

It is enough as long as the flowers do not think of extending their vines, crossing their flowerpots, and taking root in the soil that belongs to them.

She is a tree that controls the core soil. She has abundant nutrients and plenty of sunlight, and she doesn't mind giving the small flowers underneath a way to survive.

Bixi took back a scar removal cream from Lu Lingyun.

After returning home, Nanny Wan kindly wanted to apply medicine to her, but Bixi said that she didn't want to bother Nanny Wan and she could do it herself.

After hearing this, Nanny Wan snorted and said, "This is a good thing, don't waste it," and then left.

After she left, Bixi immediately threw away the scar removal cream that Lu Lingyun gave her.

Good stuff, good stuff. Even if she knew that what Lu Lingyun gave her was a good thing, she would not use it!

When Cheng Yunshuo came back in the evening, she intentionally or unintentionally showed him the wound on her hand.

Cheng Yunshuo really asked her what was going on.

Bixi dodged and hesitated for a while before saying that she was injured while cooking at Lu Lingyun's place today.

After she finished speaking, she carefully observed Cheng Yunshuo's expression. After hearing that she was cooking for Lu Lingyun, Cheng Yunshuo replied to her lightly, asking her to be more careful in the future. She then completely understood how important she was in Cheng Yunshuo's heart.

Outsiders all said that Cheng Yunshuo loved her, but in fact, Cheng Yunshuo didn't have her in his heart at all.

From the beginning to the end, he treated her as a substitute for someone else.

Even the initial impulse I had when I saw her was gone.

In her heart, Bixi repeatedly weighed her situation and status in the Marquis' Mansion.

Finally, her brows relaxed and she felt a direction in her mind.

She is going to have a baby.

Cheng Yunshuo's uncertain love is not enough, she must have a child to rely on!
