"Lingyue, what's wrong with you?"
No matter how gentle Changsun Lingrui's gaze was, Changsun Lingyue still felt uneasy, like a dead leaf hanging on a branch in late autumn, blown by the wind, with no control over when it would fall.
"Brother..." Her eyes were blurred with tears.
From childhood to adulthood, she has been the jewel of the Changsun family. She is someone that everyone holds in their hands for fear of dropping her, and holds in their mouths for fear of melting her.
No one, whether her brothers or sisters, wanted to see her tears.
At this moment, everyone felt heartbroken.
Changsun Lingrui patted the back of her hand and said, "Lingyue, you are our little fairy. How could we possibly let you get hurt?"
"So, you will save me first, right?" Changsun Lingyue asked uncertainly.
Changsun Lingrui frowned, completely confused as to why Changsun Lingyue suddenly asked such a strange question.
"Ling Yue, your cousin is also our family member. Whether it's you or your cousin, we will do whatever it takes! Just like Ling Si..."
Changsun Lingyue bit her lips hard, her eyes reddened, and she stared at him without blinking.
Faced with her like this, Changsun Lingrui was suddenly speechless and couldn't say anything.
He always felt that Changsun Lingyue was a little strange today.
He is the eldest grandson and has an excellent memory. He still remembers the time when Chang Sun Wu took them hunting and encountered a pack of wolves.
Changsun Lingyue was so young at that time, but she held the bow and arrow tightly in her hand.
Even when facing the Wolf King, she remained calm.
The snow wolf did look majestic, but my cousin made it clear that it was her pet, which proved that it would never attack its own people for no reason.
Changsun Lingyue acted so scared. He couldn't understand girls' minds. Now that he thought about it, could it be that she didn't like her cousin?
"Lingyue, my cousin is our relative!"
"All of you get out." Changsun Lingyue choked her voice, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
The others wanted to coax her, but were stopped by Changsun Lingrui.
"Let's go out first! We'll come back in when the doctor comes."
The door closed, and everyone had a look of regret on their faces.
"What happened to Lingyue?" Changsun Lingyou asked worriedly while peeking through the crack of the door.
"Could it be that Lingyue was scared by Goudan? Lingyue feels so strange!" Changsun Lingzuo held his forehead.
Changsun Lingrui frowned deeply: "I always feel that Lingyue seems to be hostile to my cousin."
"How is that possible? It can't be possible?" Changsun Lingzuo retorted without hesitation: "Lingyue is the most considerate person. How could she be hostile to my cousin? When my cousin came to recognize her as her relative, she was very graceful and open-minded. It was obvious that she liked my cousin very much!"
Changsun Lingrui couldn't figure it out either.
It had only been a few days, what had made Ling Yue suddenly so anxious and worried, so unfamiliar?
Several people were looking worried. They heard footsteps in the distance and Caiyue hurried over with a doctor.
"Young Master, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, the doctor is here." Caiyue panted.
Several people followed the doctor and Caiyue into the room.
Changsun Lingyue had obviously been crying. Her eyes were even redder than before, and she looked lonely. She looked like a withered flower.
It makes people feel distressed about her like this.
Changsun Lingzuo asked with concern: "Lingyue, what's wrong with you?"
Changsun Lingyue slowly raised her head, stammered twice with her bitten white lips, but in the end she didn't say a word.
Changsun Lingrui could guess what she was thinking.
He was also more certain that Changsun Lingyue did indeed harbor great hostility towards Qu Li.
Everything was fine before, when did his mood change?
His thoughts drifted away and he didn't even hear what the doctor said.
When he came back to his senses, his eyes were cold and fixed on Caiyue's face, and Caiyue shuddered violently.
"Come out with me."
Caiyue lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Master, I have to stay here to take care of the young lady."
"No rush! We have Ling You and Ling Zuo."
Caiyue secretly glanced at Changsun Lingyue, and reluctantly followed Changsun Lingrui out.
"Has anything happened to Lingyue in the past few days?"
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, able to split her chest and expose her thoughts.
Her heart was beating so fast that she felt like it would burst out of her chest at any moment.
"The lady has been fine. She is fine."
"real?"
Caiyue clenched her hands tightly, and her breathing became cautious because of nervousness.
"You've been taking care of Lingyue since she was a child. Generally, maids in large families would never have their master's name in their names. That would be considered offensive!"
"Master, I am loyal to you, and I always remember that everything I have today is because of you!"
"It's good that you know! Caiyue, what happened to Lingyue? Is there anything strange?"
He stared at Caiyue with a fierce look.
Caiyue bit her lips, her face as pale as gold paper because of fear and nervousness.
"No, the young lady has not gone out."
Changsun Lingrui's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could almost pinch a fly to death.
He gave Caiyue a chance.
As long as she tells him everything, he won't stand by and watch even if it means the world is falling apart.
"Come in!"
Caiyue uttered a low "Oh" and walked into the room with a twinkling look in her eyes.
Changsun Lingrui's narrow and intimidating gaze was always on her back. She looked like someone who could be tortured to death at any time and was under tremendous pressure.
When I entered the room, my legs almost gave out and I fell to the ground.
Changsun Lingrui walked into the room with his hands behind his back.
Among all the younger generations in the Changsun Mansion, he is the most like Changsun Wu.
At this moment, he was very sure of his judgment. Someone was deliberately trying to sow discord between Ling Yue and Qu Li. The purpose was very simple. He wanted to cause chaos within the Changsun clan.
His mind raced, and he soon realized that it must be the high priest who was interfering.
The hand under his sleeve tightened little by little, and his expression was cold.
"Ling You!"
Changsun Lingyou looked up and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Come out with me."
Changsun Lingyue and Caiyue looked over at the same time, and were so frightened by the cruelty that flashed from Changsun Lingrui's eyes that their breathing became tight.
Changsun Lingyou also noticed something was wrong. His eyes quickly swept across Caiyue and Changsun Lingyue's faces, and he followed Changsun Lingrui out of the room.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"The high priest is trying to sow discord between my cousin and Ling Yue."
"this……"
The three words "impossible" were still on his lips, but before he could say them out loud, he swallowed them back.
Just now, Ling Yue kept asking them who they would save first if something happened to her and Qu Li.
"Ling Yue never leaves the house, so there aren't many people she can interact with, but it's Cai Yue."
"I'll keep a close eye on Caiyue these days, big brother, don't worry!"
"I have something else to do, so I'll go out for a while."
"Where are you going, brother?"
