It has been more than a month since A Ling was sent to Jiaozhou by Lin Shuyan.
She stayed at home all day, reading, embroidering, playing the piano and making tea. I thought my life would go on like this, but I didn't expect Lin Shuyan to submit a request to the court to be sent to another post.
It happened that the governor of Jiaozhou was retiring to his hometown, and the emperor, intentionally or unintentionally, ordered Lin Shuyan to take the position of governor of Jiaozhou.
Ah Ling was born into a wealthy family and developed a keen mind. The man in black who broke into the library that night had an extraordinary appearance and aura. Lin Shuyan called him "cousin" according to etiquette. She guessed that he was the famous Prime Minister Chen in the capital.
When she first arrived in Shangjing, people said that she looked somewhat like the former censor's wife. Later, it was rumored that the wife died unexpectedly, and Lin Shuyan bought her at a high price.
She was kept in the Lin family's library, surrounded by the vast lake. Apart from the maids who served her, she could not see any outsiders.
Lin Shuyan only looked for her when he was feeling aroused and indulging in lust, and he never mentioned anything else, including official love.
Ah Ling knew that she was a toy for the amusement of the nobles.
Until Prime Minister Chen came and pointed at her and asked, "Who is she?" and "Who does she look like?" Then Lin Shuyan hastily placed her in Jiaozhou, hundreds of miles away from Beijing.
A Ling had a bold guess.
Lin Shuyan, the grandson of the emperor's minister and a renowned doctor, is secretly in love with his cousin's wife.
And she is the substitute for this cousin's wife.
When A Ling came to Jiaozhou, his heart was already dead.
Lin Shuyan is a son of an aristocratic family, and he will definitely marry a noble lady of equal status in the future. She originally thought that with the kindness of serving her before marriage, she might be able to earn the status of a concubine in the future, which would be better than selling her art and body in a brothel.
But because of this face and Lin Shuyan's feelings for his cousin's wife, the Lin family and Shen Xiangduan would not allow her to appear in the capital again.
If they are not together, who knows if he will turn around and sell her out after he gets married and finds a new love.
After all, her existence is proof that he once had dirty thoughts.
Lin Shuyan came to Jiaozhou to be an official, and A Ling never guessed this.
Who would want to be a local official and deal with the trivial matters of the common people every day when they can be an official in the capital and go in and out of the court? Moreover, the minimum period of exile is three years, so Lin Shuyan is not young anymore, and this is the right age for him to meet a noble lady.
His departure from Beijing even delayed his marriage.
Why are you here?
I am unfamiliar with the place and need to make new friends with my colleagues and make achievements before I can return to Beijing. This is a thankless task...
A Ling's heart was restless, could it be because of her?
It’s not like I haven’t dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family, but can a stand-in have such great charm?
Ask a young man from a famous family to give up everything and take only one scoop from the three thousand rivers.
A story that only exists in storybooks.
"Miss, the young master is here." The maid's joyful voice interrupted A Ling's thoughts.
Ah Ling stood up from the kang and glanced at the sky outside. The silver moon was like a disk, hanging on the branches.
Today is a good day for the fifteenth.
Lin Shuyan was the new governor of Jiaozhou and needed to deal with government affairs. He came twice in the past few days, had a quick meal and left.
Will you stay overnight tonight?
A Ling changed her clothes, put on rouge, and went to meet the person in a very pretty manner.
She had a good complexion and was wearing a light peach-colored dress. Her snow-white breasts were faintly visible, and her slender figure made her look like a delicate crabapple blossoming quietly under the moonlight.
"Young Master..." Lin Shuyan sat in front of the dining table, and A Ling leaned towards him affectionately.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Shuyan asked in a gentle voice. He was not used to the woman's deliberate intimacy. He patted her hand and said, "Sit down and have something together."
