Lin Yuan looked around and asked, "Where is the Left Protector?"
You Yinglong said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the Left Protector should have gone to the city for sightseeing."
Lin Yuan helplessly put his hands on his hips and sighed, "Zhu Wanling, Zhu Wanling, I can't find you when I need something, but you just wander around in front of me when you have nothing to do. I'll settle the score with you next time - then I'll trouble the Right Protector to be my secret guard."
The sun was setting in the west. Yu Luo stood in front of the city gate and kept looking back. The spring was chilly and the evening breeze was cool, so she pulled her cloak tighter.
The coachman said, "Miss, why hasn't your sister come yet? Don't delay my business."
"It's almost there, please wait."
Seeing Lin Yuan hurrying over, Yu Luo waved happily from a distance: "Sister! You're finally here."
Lin Yuan grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse. "Sorry, we encountered some troubles but we've dealt with them. Let's go."
She stopped the horse at the post station and got into the carriage with Yu Luo.
The rumbling sound of the carriage echoed in the carriage. Lin Yuan closed his eyes tightly and frowned slightly.
"Sister, what trouble are you in?" Yu Luo asked.
She said calmly, "It's nothing. Yu Liushang stopped me from seeing Axuan, so I tied him up and threw him in the cell."
Yu Luo had heard the gossip in Jifeng Tower and could understand Yu Liushang's intentions. "But this seems a little inappropriate. Yu Liushang is in charge of Fengyue Hall and the Criminal Justice Department. What if he has other intentions? It would be very dangerous."
Without Yu Luo's reminder, Lin Yuan already knew that Yu Liushang was very dangerous, so he had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
"I'll be careful. I've dismantled his influence in Jifeng Tower and bribed those I need to. It shouldn't be a big problem. Now is my date time, so don't think about these troubles." She paused, a bright smile on her face, "My Ah Xuan is still waiting for me!"
…
Lin Yuan and Yu Luo walked towards the temple fair in Pingwu City. The streets were brightly lit and shops were hung with lanterns, forming a brilliant galaxy.
Lin Yuan wore a blue jacket and skirt embroidered with eight-treasure tassels and necklaces. She put on a white cat mask, raised her cherry-red lips, and shook her fist like a lucky cat: "Luoluo, am I cute? Am I cute?"
The colorful lanterns behind him, with flowers blooming on the trees, all became a foil for this blue-clad cat demon.
"Cute, cute!" Yu Luo, wearing a rabbit mask, walked forward arm in arm with her, jumping and skipping.
Lin Yuan saw a shop selling lily of the valley lanterns. The lanterns were in the shape of drooping lily of the valley buds, with a string of white lily of the valley patterns painted on the surface of the paper cover, which glowed softly under the orange light.
She remembered that the flower language of lily of the valley is "happiness returns". It only blooms with the spring breeze in May. The love words of the lily of the valley whispered in the wind can only be heard by those who love it the most.
So she wanted to give it to Axuan.
Yu Luo saw Lin Yuan staring at the lantern in fascination, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. Her sister hasn't changed in this aspect, she still likes lily of the valley.
Lin Yuan walked forward to buy the lamp, but accidentally saw a familiar back... and the face of Zhu Wanling opposite her, both of whom were people she knew.
They sat on a bench next to a shop not far away. A plaque read "Qianyuanfang" and colorful lanterns shone brightly behind them. Zhu Wanling smiled and picked up a piece of grass and wanted to stick it into Yuan Xuanlang's head. Yuan Xuanlang stretched out his hand to stop her, but he didn't know what Zhu Wanling said. He put his hands down as if resigned to his fate and let her stick the grass into his head.
The grass stood straight up on his head. The handsome young man looked funny with a few pieces of grass stuck in his head. Zhu Wanling laughed so hard that she fell over.
Lin Yuan's eyes darkened suddenly. Zhu Wanling was a person obsessed with looks. Thinking back to her previous vicious words, her son's ambition was obvious!
And Yuan Xuanlang keeps saying he loves me, but then he turns around and flirts with another woman! This adulterous couple is having a great time, having a blast!
When Yu Luo saw this, she was about to call out to them but Lin Yuan covered her mouth. She felt that the aura around Lin Yuan had turned cold.
She suddenly turned around, grabbed Yu Luo's arm and walked back quickly.
Yu Luo was puzzled: "Sister, why are you suddenly walking back? You seem angry, is it because he didn't see you?"
"No." She continued walking without slowing down.
"Is it because Zhu Hufa was playing with him and didn't invite you?"
"no."
"Because Master Yuan forgot his promise to you?"
"no."
They fled from the bustling scene behind them, and only stopped in an alley when the noise could no longer be heard.
Yu Luo leaned against the wall and asked helplessly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
You never kept things to yourself before.
Lin Yuan also leaned against the wall, her drooping eyelashes casting a shadow in her eyes. She spoke slowly, "He betrayed me and found a new love." She exhaled, "If that's the case, why did we start in the first place? Why persist?"
Yu Luo: "New love?"
"Haha, girl, love is like a flower. It will wither if you don't work hard to cultivate it." A gentle voice came from the side. Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman standing by the gate holding a lotus lantern. The orange light made her face beautiful, and her skirt hung down gently, outlining her graceful waistline.
Lin Yuan: "Who are you?"
The woman smiled, showing no sign of embarrassment or discomfort. "I was in the courtyard, and someone was talking outside the door, so I came to check on them. I didn't expect to hear your worries. I'm sorry."
Lin Yuan quickly explained: "No, no, we disturbed the madam, we are going back now."
"Judging from your accent, you're not a local. The market is closed for the night, the city gates are shut, and there's not a single inn within a hundred miles. How are you going to get there?"
Lin Yuan was silent.
The woman was thoughtful and considerate. "Why don't you stay at my humble abode for one night? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."
With no other choice, Lin Yuan and Yu Luo thanked her and stayed overnight in her side room.
They walked through the bluestone path in the yard. The holly on the side of the path was as green as emerald, and the crimson camellia flowers were blooming beautifully.
After listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, the woman said calmly, "If you want a man who is so fickle, then don't bother with him. You are still young and can find someone better."
"What Madam Yun said makes sense, but I've always had someone in my heart, so I won't like anyone else no matter how good they are."
Yun Wanwan chuckled softly, "Since you've chosen that man, don't give him up to others. Learn to take him back yourself, otherwise the flower will be eaten by poisonous ants, and then you won't be able to save the situation."
Lin Yuan: “Yes.”
So I was too weak. I should have confronted them on the spot. Why was I running away?
"It's easy to make him love you, but you have to put in some effort to make him love you forever. How did Madam Liu in the previous dynasty manage to make her the only one favored by her husband, who had three wives and four concubines? It was because she was so good at controlling him."
Lin Yuan blushed and hesitated, "I want to learn from you, Madam. Is that okay?"
Before Yun Wanwan could reply, she heard the voice of "Madam".
It turned out that her husband was standing at the end of the corridor. He was seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and a straight nose. He paused slightly when he saw Lin Yuan and Yu Luo. Yun Wanwan briefly introduced the two guests. He nodded slightly and then looked away. He considerately put a cloak on Yun Wanwan, put his arm around Yun Wanwan's waist, and buried his face in her hair.
Yun Wanwan shyly pushed him away: "Lu Lang, there is a girl here."
Lin Yuan and Yu Luo covered their eyes in unison, "We didn't see anything."
The man said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."
Lin Yuan sighed sincerely: "It's great for a couple to love each other."
"Excuse me, I'll have the servant take you to the side rooms," Yun Wanwan leaned in and whispered in Lin Yuan's ear, "Come to my room at midnight tonight and I'll teach you how to control your husband. As for the little girl next to you, she's still young, so don't bring her along."
Lin Yuan nodded.
She really didn't want to give up this relationship, she thought self-deprecatingly, otherwise the mother flower would really bloom until it died.
The Lantern Festival had long since ended, leaving only lonely lights glowing on the street. Yuan Xuanlang already had six pieces of grass stuck in his hair. Zhu Wanling yawned, "Don't wait any longer. Three hours have already passed. Lin Yuan won't be coming today."
Yuan Xuanlang looked listless, his eyelids half closed. "Why didn't Yuanyuan come?"
He had been waiting for three hours and didn't dare leave for fear that she would not be able to see him.
"Tsk tsk, I understand her better than you. She never waits for others, it's always others who wait for her. If..." She saw someone, "Women always have a lot of things to do. Their clothes may be dirty, their makeup may be smudged, or they may be lost, and then... they may not be able to come." Zhu Wanling comforted her.
He struggled to his feet and said, "Maybe she's lost. She always does that. I'll go look for her."
Zhu Wanling has been sent to look for Lin Yuan more than four times. If she could have found her, she would have found her long ago.
"Um, the grass on your head... Do you know that's what beggars do?" Although the atmosphere was sad and someone was very sad, she couldn't help but laugh.
She bet with him that Lin Yuan would be late. If Lin Yuan was half an hour late, he would have to stick a piece of grass on his head. This guy wanted to cheat at first.
He plucked the weeds off, shook his clothes, sighed, and shook his head: "It's a pity that Zhu the Protector was unable to capture a handsome man at the Lantern Festival, and now he has to keep me, a beggar, company."
The corners of her mouth curled up, "It's worth it to accompany such a handsome beggar."
Yuan Xuanlang's mouth twitched. The female sex maniac was even more shameless than him. "The 'flirtatious boss lady' is indeed extremely audacious. You and I will say goodbye now."
He turned away without mercy and disappeared into the darkness.
