A figure ran away quickly, but that figure...
Lu Shiyi narrowed his eyes slightly. Xiaoyu?
He wondered to himself: Was Xiaoyu hiding by the door eavesdropping? Could it be that Xiaoyu was the one who poisoned the food?
"Brother Shi Yi, what are you looking at?"
Reminded by Lin Xianzhe, Lu Shiyi quickly turned around and calmly said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about something."
Seeing this, Lin Xianzhi leaned closer and whispered to comfort him, "You've just gotten pregnant, so don't worry too much. Even if Young Master Chi regains favor, you'll still be loved by your wife because you have a child."
Lu Shiyi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Xianzhi."
"Um."
Lin Xianzhi sat back down, comforted his good brother, and continued to feel dejected. It seemed that his wife had accepted Chi Yan back. He was extremely envious of Lu Shiyi and the others, who had a child to rely on.
He lowered his eyes slightly, feeling worried because he neither had Wen Yanche's stunning looks nor Lu Shiyi's good fortune of getting pregnant on his first try.
Half an hour later, it was already late at night, and Changfeng carried the husbands back to the courtyard.
………
As dawn broke, Leng Qingning woke up with hazy eyes, unaware that most of the young men of Langya Mansion had suffered from insomnia the previous night.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was met with a pair of tender, dark eyes.
"Ning'er, you're awake?" Chi Yan's smile was full of tenderness.
"Hmm." She replied with a faint smile. "Ah Yan, what time is it?"
"It's still early before court." Chi Yan gently pulled her into his arms.
Not a single thread of clothing.
Skin to skin.
"There is no need to attend court today."
"Oh." Chi Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and another thought arose. "Ning'er, then we..."
"Hehe." He chuckled softly, pressing closer to his chest, his heartbeat clearly audible. "Have you forgotten you're a patient?"
"I was fine after taking the medicine yesterday. The medicine I'll take today is just to clear any remaining toxins."
"Let's talk about it after you're fully recovered."
"Ning'er, I want..." Chi Yan lowered his head and gently kissed the cheek of the person in his arms, his seductive voice bewitching, "Just once, okay?"
Please~
Unstoppable!
Okay~
Chi Yan smiled, and then a deep kiss landed on his lips…
(Words omitted)
It was noon when we came out of Tingfeng Pavilion.
Biluo followed closely behind with a strange expression, inwardly cursing, "Young Master Chi is truly a monster!"
What time is it?
The Yellow Crane Tower hasn't collected its debts yet!
Fu Guang told her everything that happened last night, saying that the gentlemen were so angry they couldn't sleep, while her master was so engrossed in his lovemaking that he didn't get up until so late!
They didn't even mention going to collect the debt!
With her mind preoccupied with the money and unable to help but worry about the young men, Biluo couldn't help but sigh.
"well."
Leng Qingning stopped and turned around to look at her strangely, "What are you sighing about?"
Biluo avoided eye contact. "No, it's nothing."
Leng Qingning snorted softly, and could tell what she was thinking just by looking at Biluo's expression.
"I need to go back to the Rose Garden to get something. Go and invite Sang Yu here."
"Huh?" Biluo was puzzled. In the current situation, she should be trying to appease the young masters or go to the shops. How could she involve the young master?
"Um?"
Biluo bowed her head and replied, "Understood, Your Highness."
Rose Garden
Sang Yu followed Bi Luo into the courtyard with small steps, her little hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
"Sister, what do you want to see me about?"
Leng Qingning gave Biluo a wink, and Biluo understood and led the servants away.
"Xiaoyu, come and sit down."
Leng Qingning patted the chair next to her. Xiao Yu bit her lower lip and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking in a soft voice, "Sister, I was wrong."
Leng Qingning wanted to laugh. She hadn't even said anything yet, and the child had already confessed without being asked.
"What did you do wrong?"
Sang Yu lowered his head, his voice barely audible, "I just want to avenge you."
"What?" Leng Qingning leaned forward and asked him, "Come here, Xiaoyu, I didn't hear what you said." She reached out and pulled Sang Yu to her side.
"Xiaoyu, you poisoned him, didn't you?"
Sang Yu nodded, not daring to look up at anyone.
Seeing his appearance, Leng Qingning sighed softly. The reason why Sang Yu poisoned him was not hard to guess, and she couldn't bear to blame him.
"Don't do that again."
Seeing that her sister wasn't angry with her, Sang Yu felt relieved and looked up. "Sister, you're not angry?"
"Since you know I'll get angry, why did you still do it?"
"I...I'm sorry, sister. Young Master Chi hurt you. I just wanted to help you get revenge."
And, she wanted to avenge her husband and brothers.
"Sigh." She sighed softly and patted his head. "Xiaoyu, this is a matter between adults. You shouldn't get involved. What if the other party is an unscrupulous person and you provoke him and he retaliates against you? I don't want you to get hurt."
"Is that Young Master Chi a man who will stop at nothing?" Sang Yu asked casually.
“Of course not,” Leng Qingning affirmed.
Sang Yu asked in surprise, "Sister, you trust him so much?"
Leng Qingning avoided answering this question, saying, "That's not something you should be asking."
"Xiaoyu, I know you have a talent for making poisons, and I won't object to you continuing to research poisons. It's good for a boy to have a skill, so that you will be able to protect yourself in the future, and I can rest assured. But poisons cannot be used to harm innocent people, understand?"
Sang Yu retorted, "Young Master Chi is not an innocent person; he has harmed you."
Leng Qingning gently shook her head. "No, he did do something to wrong me, and he is guilty to me, so he should atone for it. But to you, he is just a stranger. You have never met him, and he has never hurt you, yet you poisoned him for my sake. Isn't he innocent too?"
“But…” Sang Yu hesitated.
“No buts, Xiaoyu. Everyone will meet different people and experience different things. Don’t make wrong decisions just to stand up for others. You have a long future ahead of you, and I don’t want you to do these foolish things for anyone.”
Leng Qingning patiently and earnestly taught Sang Yu, hoping that he would never use poison indiscriminately again. A child who had just turned fourteen should not be able to bear the consequences of his actions.
"Xiaoyu, when you come of age, your sister will naturally no longer stop your decisions, but you are not capable of taking responsibility for your own actions right now, understand? In the future, never poison others indiscriminately, understand?"
Sang Yu nodded obediently, "I understand, sister." Then she added, "Sister, I'm already fourteen. I'll be of marriageable age next year."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingning smiled and stroked Sang Yu's delicate face, "She won't be of marriageable age until next year. She'll still be a child if she's even one day short of that."
Her bright and radiant smile, paired with her delicate and pink lips, was as beautiful and captivating as the first rays of sunlight that had just fallen upon the earth in the morning.
"Xiaoyu, be a good girl and listen to your sister, okay?"
Sang Yu couldn't help but gaze at Leng Qingning. The latter's pure and otherworldly face was reflected in the former's eyes, which were of different colors. Her smile was as bright as the stars, breathtakingly beautiful.
The image froze in his mind's eye, and a strange emotion quickly rose up, stirring the softest part of his heart.
Within seconds, Sang Yu's cheeks flushed bright red, his heart raced, and he dared not look any longer. He jumped up and ran towards the door...
