Chapter 90
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
In a blink of an eye, it was Yu Weiwu’s wedding day . Yu Linglong naturally would not go to the front to partic.i.p.ate . Only Ling’er and a few little maids ran to the front to watch the excitement, coming back from time to time to talk about the situation .
“The new wife is the second young lady from Jiang Yuan’s house . The dowry has been carried and prayed over . It has just been carried out from the morning until now . It’s all in the west wing of the uncle’s yard, and the house is full!”
“After wors.h.i.+pping heaven and earth, the old lady was very happy . A lot of people came to congratulate us, and some people asked about our family’s marriage with Gan Taifu’s family!”
“The uncle was filled with a lot of wine, and the road was unsteady . Even the third master took a sip of the wine . His tears were so hot that he was crying and crying to find Concubine Dong!”
Ling’er and others talked about it, but Yu Linglong only leaned on the couch with her eyes closed and rested .
A few days ago, because of the fact that General Yu was being transferred to southern Xinjiang to supervise the battle, the people who came and went on weekdays were deliberately alienated from entering the house . This time, the news that Master Gan and Lady Gan came to propose marriage in person immediately caused everyone, including people who usually had nothing to say, to inquire about the news . Even those who have only had a lower status came with gifts and found various excuses to visit, wanting to curry favor with General Yu’s Mansion .
It can be said that in General Yu and Mu s.h.i.+’s many years together, they had never been so flattered . In these days, General Yu’s face was red, Mu s.h.i.+ was very pleased, and they spoke and acted like Gan Taifu’s relatives .
Yu Linglong was also a little surprised to learn that Master Gan and Lady Gan had come to the door in person . Last time she rescued Gan Lin by accident, and she guessed that this matter would not be dropped . Looking at Gan’s family, they turned over the entire capital in order to find Gan Lin, and she knew that they would do everything possible to find the person who rescued Gan Lin . She casually said Yu Qianjiao’s name because she didn’t want to cause trouble for herself, but she didn’t expect that the Gan family would really come here and even propose to Yu Qianjiao .
She let Gan Lin devote his life to her, was this the plot in the script?
When Yu Linglong thought about this, she couldn’t help but smile . She would let them be tormented, and wait until Gan Lin found out that Yu Qianjiao was not the one who rescued him, and there would be a lawsuit to fight .
But what did this have to do with her? At this time, she couldn’t think of modern things, like how you can get a divorce if you want one . If the Gan family wanted to retreat, it would probably be really troublesome .
Yu Linglong was thinking about it happily, but heard a rush of footsteps in the yard, followed by Ling’er’s cry: “Miss, miss!”
Yu Linglong was both angry and humored . She stood up from the couch and looked at Ling’er who had just run to the door: “Xuan Cao said you have no rules . You are really becoming ruder and ruder . What are you running for? What’s the excitement?”
On weekdays, she rarely disciplined the maids in Pinlan Garden . Ling’er was young, lively, and cheerful, and developed freely whether Yu Linglong taught her or not . She bounced and jumped all day long, and she easily blabbed .
Ling’er stopped her hurried footsteps, and said breathlessly: “That…that Lord Xu is here!”
Yu Linglong furrowed her eyebrows: “Close the door! Don’t let him in!”
Ling’er said: “The lord didn’t come to Pinlan Garden . He congratulated him in the front yard!”
Yu Linglong almost spat out her tea . Lord Xu came to congratulate Yu Weiwu? Why did this sound so strange?
Wasn’t that kid not even paying attention to General Yu? And he came to congratulate Yu Weiyuan, a lieutenant from the eighth rank guard? This guy was too fascinating .
Yu Linglong lay back on the couch lazily and said, “It’s best if he doesn’t come!”
As soon as the voice fell, there was already a familiar voice outside the door: “I can hear you, why are you so sour?”
Lord Xu wore a jade crown on his head and a light robe, and slowly played with a carved ebony fan in his hand, and walked in with a smile: “Linglong, I have been looking for you during the dinner for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to go out . ”
Yu Linglong regretted not closing the door just now to accidentally let this guy in again, but she changed her mind . Even if she closed the door, this kid would probably jump over the wall to come in .
Yu Linglong turned over and turned her back to Lord Xu, completely ignoring him .
Lord Xu sat down on the stool next to the couch and looked at Yu Linglong with his unblinking deep and mysterious eyes, and asked with concern: “Why, are you uncomfortable?”
As soon as Lord Xu came in, Ling’er consciously withdrew . At this time, there were only Yu Linglong and Lord Xu in the room, and they looked extremely quiet .
The summer sun was projected on the beauty couch by the window . Yu Linglong was only wearing a hazy silver silk robe, leaning against the silver-and-red flower pillow, and her long hair was casually spread on the couch like a splash of ink, making her skin look delicate and lovely .
It’s just that this beauty didn’t even have a slight smile . In the brilliant suns.h.i.+ne, her white porcelain face was as cold as an iceberg .
The noise of cicadas coming from outside the window disturbed her . There seemed to be birds flying on the roof, and there was a slight noise from the bricks . The sound was not loud, but it was especially obvious in a quiet room .
Lord Xu’s eyes were dim . He suddenly approached Yu Linglong and smiled: “I haven’t seen you for many days, do you think I don’t miss you?”
The refres.h.i.+ng scent of mint mixed with the scent of incense burning in the room seemed to linger on Yu Linglong’s nose . Yu Linglong suddenly remembered something, and her heart sank unconsciously .
The beautiful black onyx eyes slowly lifted up, as if filled with moist water vapor . This hot summer was refres.h.i.+ng .
Yu Linglong looked at Lord Xu’s eyes with a smile, and then suddenly smiled slightly .
This smile, like the first bloom of a spring flower, was so beautiful that he couldn’t look anywhere else .
The expression on Lord Xu’s face was slightly stagnant, but his cynical smile was restored in an instant, and he couldn’t help but move forward again: “I know you still remember me—”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Linglong waved her hand quickly and slapped him in the face fiercely!
The handsome face quickly moved to one side, and the next moment Yu Linglong’s wrist was pinched by Lord Xu .
The hot temperature came from her hand, and it felt slightly rough . Yu Linglong did not move, but raised her small face like a hibiscus, fixedly looking at Lord Xu, her pink lips slightly opened, and she spoke lightly .
“Your Royal Highness, your skill is so good!”
The force on her wrist suddenly tightened, but then quickly loosened, as if everything was just an illusion .
Lord Xu smiled and let go of his hand, and said triumphantly: “Are you complimenting me? Excuse me! Excuse me!”
Yu Linglong took her hand back, with a look on her face, and said in a deep voice: “Yu Lieyang, I beat you and scolded you, why do you always come to me?”
Lord Xu laughed loudly and said, “Flirting or not, are we a harmonious couple?”
Yu Linglong’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneering smile rose from the corner of her mouth: “Really? I just know that His Royal Highness Lord Xu always comes to me because I often beat you and scold you . ”
Her white hand slowly stroked the place where Lord Xu had just grabbed her . Yu Linglong said coldly: “After that, I won’t beat and scold you again, and please don’t come again . ”
When she said this, she was already expressing an att.i.tude of concession . At this moment, there was a faint hunch in her heart . She seemed to know the answer she wanted .
The answer had been buried for so long and so deep that she almost thought she would never find it again, but unexpectedly, the answer she wanted to know had already been buried in her heart, but she had never looked at it .
A trace of pain rose in Lord Xu’s eyes, but it was fleeting .
The next moment, he lowered his head, held Yu Linglong’s wrist with his big hand, and asked nervously, “Did I hurt you? Linglong, I’ll rub it for you, don’t be angry . ”
The man’s hair touched her face, with a nice mint smell, but Yu Linglong’s eyes fell on the jade crown on his head . The whole piece of white jade was carved into the crown, so delicate . But in the warm touch, there was a faint chill .
Allowing Lord Xu to hold her wrist, Yu Linglong bent her head, her pink lips were close to Lord Xu’s ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Is there someone on the roof?”
The movement of Lord Xu squeezing her wrist suddenly stopped . He raised his head . The laughter on his face faded easily, a sharp look rose in his eyes, and he looked straight at Yu Linglong, but his whispering voice was sharp and fearless .
“Are you scared?”
Yu Linglong looked at the two little reflections in his eyes that looked like reflections in an ancient well .
She smiled disdainfully: “Afraid? You underestimate me . ”
Withdrawing her hand quickly, Yu Linglong didn’t know what it was like . Now that she knew that Lord Xu’s pa.s.sionate pursuit of herself was nothing more than a concealment, she did not feel relaxed at the moment when she guessed the truth .
Outside the window, the yard is full of swaying orchids, exuding a faint fragrance under the scorching heat of summer, which made them sleepy . Further out, there was the faint sound of gongs and drums, and there were countless guests drinking, and talking and laughing loudly .
But in this small room of Pinlan Garden, time seemed to stop, and the air seemed to be frozen . The two people sat opposite each other . It seemed to outsiders that they were nothing more than normal lovers, but only the two people in it knew what kind of turbulent waves were surging between them .

After a while, Lord Xu raised his hand, gently gathered the hair by Yu Linglong’s ear, and said softly: “You’re tired, you should rest . ”
Yu Linglong lowered her eyes and remained silent .
She didn’t know what Lord Xu’s intention was, and she didn’t know what kind of people were watching them in the dark . In this case, she decided to stop with silence .
If it hadn’t been too quiet in the house just now, she wouldn’t have heard the soft noise of the bricks on the roof, let alone guess that someone had been spying on them in the dark .
This kind of person’s skill was really terrifying if even she couldn’t notice she was being monitored .
They dared to lie on her roof during the day without fear of being spotted . This kind of person’s disguise must be top-notch .
Looking at the tall and straight back of Lord Xu, Yu Linglong vaguely guessed that those who watched them should be heading towards Lord Xu .
She was just a small general’s illegitimate daughter, who was more worthy of being tracked and monitored? As the prince, Lord Xu was at the center of the power of the world . Was it true that he chased flowers and willows, and was eating, drinking, and having fun all the time, just like a little prince?
What was he hiding from her?
