"What are you doing!" Yining immediately struggled, wanting him to let her go.
But instead of letting go, he lowered his head and leaned against her shoulder and said, "You saw it all." He had wanted to do this for a long time, to hold her in his arms and not let anyone see. The fear just now gradually turned into an impulse. She knew... What if she knew? Let her know! There was really no other way. He said in a hoarse voice: "That was your substitute, Yining, but she looks about four or five points like you. Ever since you died, I have missed you very much, always... I can't help it!"
"I don't want to ask what happened just now, just let me go!" Yi Ning felt that he was not in a good state. She pushed him away and immediately ran to the door. Cheng Lang, who usually obeyed her and was extremely gentle, seemed like a different person. He caught up with her and grabbed her waist, pressing her to the Luohan bed next to her. With a thud, Yi Ning was pinned to the bed and couldn't move. She didn't even have the strength to sit up!
Cheng Lang's eyes turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and kissed her on the face.
He dares to play this!
In a moment of desperation, Yi Ning pulled back her hand and was about to hit him, but she was petite to begin with, and with Cheng Lang pinning her, she couldn't resist. She couldn't scream for help; if word got out, it would be troublesome. She was determined to marry Cheng Lang.
She was really defenseless against him and never expected him to do such a thing!
Her slap hit his face with a crisp sound! Yi Ning gasped, "You...what are you doing? Are you trying to make me marry you like this? Cheng Lang, don't be crazy!"
Cheng Lang looked at his face, an expression he knew very well. She was afraid, but her personality was a bit timid, so she wouldn't let others see her fear.
If he was more ruthless, he would have used direct means to deal with her. When the guards outside came in, Yining was speechless. But how could he treat her so despicablely? This person was Luo Yining. Luo Yining, who held him in her arms when he was little, taught him to read and write, and protected him!
Cheng Lang held him still, his head buried in her chest. Then he trembled a little. This long-awaited sharp pain made him gradually choke up, but he still didn't want to let go and held her tightly.
Yi Ning felt that he seemed to be choking, she was a little surprised, and then pursed her lips.
"What happened to you in the past seven years..." She changed her tone to a calmer one, "Wake up, and we'll talk it over."
She sat up and straightened her messy clothes. Cheng Lang half-knelt beside her, holding her hand and asked, "If I asked to marry you now, you wouldn't agree, right?"
She didn't want to agree in the first place, so Cheng Lang planned to trick her into getting married first. But now, she probably wouldn't agree even to a lie.
Yining leaned against the small table and laughed a few times: "Cheng Lang, why are you doing this!" Her smile was also a little depressed. "I've already died once, why do you keep thinking about me? I don't even understand myself. I can't even take revenge for someone who killed me, and no one can shake him. Look, what's there to like about me?"
Cheng Lang held her hand tightly, with great strength: "It may be so for others, but for me... I lost and found again, and I can't give up. I'm sorry."
Yining pulled her hand away, and he squeezed it slightly, but it fell into empty space.
There was a commotion outside, and Wei Ling came over with his men.
Things had gotten to this point, and there was no way Zhenzhu wouldn't tell Wei Ling.
When Wei Ling saw Lian Fu, he frowned and said nothing. He immediately found Cheng Lang and went into the inner room to talk.
Qingqu came over and told Yining: "Miss...what you said happened is quite a coincidence. Otherwise, you would have been engaged to your cousin..." She looked very regretful.
Yi Ning asked her, "Is Miss Lianfu stable?"
Qingqu uttered an "oh" and nodded. "She's quite stable, but I'm terrified. The baby in her belly is in an abnormal position, and it might die if we're not careful. She'll probably need to take good care of herself when she gets home... These women don't take care of themselves, and they always drink things that damage their uterus, so it's not easy for them to get pregnant."
Yi Ning frowned, thinking she had misheard: "What did you just say?"
"That girl is really pregnant," Qingqu said. "It's been less than three months. I think she's even surprised herself... She said that she and her cousin always take contraceptive soup after having sex. But there's no guarantee about herbal medicine. It's not uncommon for women to get pregnant unexpectedly after taking contraceptive soup. I used to go to Liushu Hutong in Zhending with Mother Zheng, and there were some women who didn't even know they were pregnant and had miscarriages unexpectedly..."
The residents of Liushu Hutong in Zhending are all famous opera singers, and many of them are kept by wealthy young men.
Yi Ning didn't know what to say for a moment. What a coincidence! She had thought she was being blackmailed, but she was actually pregnant. As for Lian Fu, Cheng Lang had to deal with it himself. Since she had a child, it was the Cheng family's business.
After a while, Mrs. Wei was also supported by Mother Song and hurried to the East Garden.
Wei Ling walked out and told the old lady with a cold expression: "I'm afraid this marriage will not be possible. Cheng Lang turned out to be absurd, but I don't mind it...but I am a little hesitant when his concubine came to our house. Even if he is a good person in other aspects, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, Yi Ning will have nowhere to seek justice." As for the fact that the geisha really had a child, Wei Ling did not tell the old lady Wei. That was Cheng Lang's own business.
Old Mrs. Wei sighed, "I had this concern in mind, but since I saw you were so happy with your plan, I didn't say anything."
She beckoned Yining to come over to her, looked at her still innocent face, and patted her head: "This child has had a rough life. Now she's stuck in her ways, and I don't know what to do." Old Mrs. Wei felt uncomfortable as she spoke, "Yining, are you sad?"
Yining smiled at her: "Grandma, I'm fine."
Wei Ling glanced at the girl, remembering how she hadn't had a mother, yet she'd had so many twists and turns. He said, "The Emperor has been busy with the aftermath of Pingyuan Fort and the riverbank repairs lately. He hasn't had any free time yet, but the Empress sent a message to me, asking about Yi Ning's marriage, saying that if a date is set, she will definitely come with gifts."
After hearing this, Old Lady Wei's face turned unhappy: "The Queen is reminding us..."
Wei Ling nodded: "I'm afraid it's not over yet."
He sighed heavily: "If it really doesn't work, you should discuss it with the old lady of the He family about the second son of the He family. I saw him from a distance last time, and his speech and behavior are not bad. Although he can't compare with Cheng Lang, as long as he is good to Yi Ning, you can help him enter the officialdom in the future."
Old Mrs. Wei nodded and planned to visit the He family tomorrow.
Yi Ning looked at the lake in the distance. She had just told Cheng Lang that Lian Fu was pregnant.
Cheng Lang was silent for a long time after hearing this, then he smiled: "Child... She really has a child!"
His eyes were cold, showing no joy of being a father. Instead, they gave people an indescribable chill.
What was almost done was ruined by Lian Fu's interference. He was now filled with rage. He knew there must be someone behind Lian Fu, and he was determined to find that person.
What child? Does he need someone else's child? He won't let these people go if they make him miss out on what he wants most.
