Chapter 92
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Yu Linglong immediately stopped. They had to get married because they rode a horse together? What were the ancients thinking!
Yu Linglong sighed internally. She turned to face Gan Lin and said word by word: “Gan Lin, I saved you. This was a mistake. I don’t need you to repay you, let alone be your responsibility. I hope you will not bother me.”
Yu Linglong rarely explained to others so patiently, but every time she saw Gan Lin’s big eyes with a little childishness, she felt that he was like an innocent big boy, and she was unwilling to scold or hit him.
Gan Lin was only thirteen years old, and she was still a child in modern times. It was really hard for her to imagine how the ancients thought of getting married when they were thirteen or fourteen. It was a misunderstanding.
Gan Lin completely misunderstood what she meant, and said anxiously: “Qianjiao, don’t worry. I told my parents we can make an appointment first and get married later!”
Seeing that the boy in front of her looked like a small adult, Yu Linglong really didn’t know how to explain it, so she stopped talking and went straight to Ling’er.
Anyway, the object of his proposal was Yu Qianjiao, but not her, so that explained it.
She didn’t speak, but Gan Lin kept haunting her. Seeing her footsteps flying, he subconsciously wanted to hold her: “Wait for me—”
As soon as the hand was stretched out in the air, a big hand came back, and then a clear but slightly indifferent voice rang out: “This is my woman. Gan’s son shouldn’t bother with her.”
Gan Lin raised his head and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the man who was nearly a head taller than him.
“His Royal Highness Lord Xu?”
The tall figure completely blocked Gan Lin’s sight of Yu Linglong. Lord Xu lowered his head slightly and looked at Gan Lin’s bewildered look. Although his face was smiling, his eyes were politely distant.
“I am going to take her to set the river lanterns, please stay with Master Gan.”
Turning to Yu Linglong, Lord Xu’s eyes rose somewhat warmly: “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
As if it were a demonstration, Lord Xu stretched out and took Yu Linglong’s little hand, wrapping her hand completely in his palm, and his smile was as bright as the sun in the dark night.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Yu Linglong clearly knew that he was acting, but because of the dark, she couldn’t get her hand out. She tried her best to suppress the anger that was soaring in her heart, and her clenched fingers secretly used force to embed her nails deeply into Lord Xu’s palm.
If it doesn’t hurt, then just hold it!
As if he didn’t feel the sharp tingling from the palm of his hand, Lord Xu’s smile did not change, and he nodded to Gan Lin in an alienated manner, and then pulled Yu Linglong away.
Gan Lin looked at this scene, completely stunned.
Everyone in the capital knew that the girl Lord Xu likes is the Fourth Lady of the Yu family, but how can he be with the Sixth Lady Yu Qianjiao now?
Gan Lin watched the departure of Lord Xu and Yu Linglong, and a layer of wounded pain gradually appeared in his clear, big eyes.
The young man on the side comforted and said in a low voice: “Master, don’t worry, didn’t the lady say it? General Yu has already agreed to your marriage with Miss Yu. If you are not at ease, please go back and beg Lady Yu to let you marry her.”
Gan Lin stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.
Will you get her heart when you marry her and enter the door?
…
Yu Linglong was dragged along by Lord Xu and walked straight to a dimly lit place. Finally, Yu Linglong couldn’t help throwing away Lord Xu’s hand.
“What do you want to do!?” She struggled to keep her voice down, with uncontrollable anger bursting out, almost igniting the night.
With bright eyes, Lord Xu looked straight into Yu Linglong’s eyes. Under the dim light, there was a complex expression on his face, and she couldn’t tell whether he was joking or being serious.
“Nothing, just don’t like watching him pull you.”
Yu Linglong took a deep breath, trying to let the coolness of the night breeze calm the impatience in her chest, and said in a deep voice, “Who is pulling me, what does it have to do with you? Your Royal Highness, you should take care of your own affairs. You’re asking for trouble!”
The threat in the words was very obvious. Lord Xu was slightly startled, but suddenly he stretched out his big hands and took Yu Linglong in his arms.
“You—” Yu Linglong was furious, and immediately wanted to push him away. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lord Xu had already bowed his head and seemed to want to kiss her.
Yu Linglong subconsciously tilted her head and avoided his sudden attack. His gentle lips ran across her soft cheeks, as if an electric current passed by, causing her to become stiff.
The deep voice of Lord Xu rang in her ears, like a poppy in the dark night, full of temptation and danger.
“I promise you that I will explain to you sooner or later, but not now.”
The powder fist clenched tightly and hit Lord Xu’s chest mercilessly, but with a fierce force, he endured it silently. Unconsciously, Lord Xu let go of her arm.
There was a consistent smile on his face, and he looked at her with affection: “Come, I will take you to a place.”
Before Yu Linglong could answer, he took her to the crowded street.
Yu Linglong snorted coldly: “Let go!”
Why did he make her come, where was she going? What was she to him?
Yu Linglong had never allowed others to dominate her actions, not to mention that there were so many suspicious things in Lord Xu’s body that she really refused to let herself continue to go.
But no matter how much she tossed, Lord Xu didn’t seem to feel it. A pair of big iron-hoop-like hands held her tightly. It seemed that when she let go, she would grow wings and fly away.
Perceiving the suspicious glances cast by the crowd, Yu Linglong stopped her movements angrily. She was not stupid. She also knew that such intimate behavior between the two of them was no different from a fight between a young couple in the eyes of outsiders.
Maybe that two-faced Royal Highness Lord Xu was wishing her to toss like this, otherwise, how can the whole city know about their relationship?
Yu Linglong ground her teeth with hatred, but she knew that no matter whether she used force or planned, she couldn’t get rid of the guy Lord Xu at this moment. He seemed to have gotten into her mind and will not let her go anyway, and the more she rebelled, the more proud he was.
Yu Linglong simply let go of her hand. Anyway, she was not the twitchy little girl in ancient times. She will die if she is pulled by a small hand and held a small waist. This guy liked to bother her for whoever loves to see it!
The brightly lit Chang’an Avenue was full of bustling crowds. Lord Xu and Yu Linglong were a good-looking couple, and their actions are so intimate with no one else. They have already attracted countless envious or surprised eyes.
At the end of the street, a silver-white horse was standing in the center of the street. Seeing Lord Xu walking out of the crowd, the small servant leading the horse hurriedly led the horse forward and bowed: “Master.”
Yu Linglong turned her face slightly. She felt that this horse was a bit familiar, and suddenly remembered, wasn’t this the Tianshan white horse that Lord Xu said at the beginning? No wonder it looked so domineering and outrageous.
Seeing Yu Linglong’s thoughtful appearance, Lord Xu smiled and said, “This horse is very fast. You didn’t ride it last time, this time you should try it.”
He took so much effort to bring her here just to ride a horse?
Yu Linglong snorted: “I can ride by myself—”
Before finishing talking, Yu Linglong only felt her waist tight, and a huge force lifted her up from the ground, and she leaped into the sky directly onto the Tianshan white horse.
This hand was beautifully exposed, and the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but burst into applause.
Lord Xu held Yu Linglong in front of his chest with one hand and shook the horse’s rein with one hand. His voice was full of joy: “Giddyup!”
Yu Linglong furrowed her eyebrows. Does this kid like to show off and make such a big movement, for fear that others will not see them?
Perceiving the tightness of the person in his arms, Lord Xu triumphantly asked, “How is it, are you scared?”
Yu Linglong turned her head in disdain, and said coldly: “What’s this, this is a monkey’s trick!”
Lord Xu laughed, then leaned over her ears, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Everyone in the capital has seen it. This time you have no other way except to marry me.”
Yu Linglong said angrily: “Bah, who wants to marry you!?”
The thin hair brushed over Lord Xu’s cheeks, with a girl’s unique body fragrance. Lord Xu’s breathing seemed to stop, and his voice fell low, appearing full of magnetism in the dark: “Your reputation is ruined in my hands. Here, if you don’t marry me, do you have to cut your hair and be a nun?”
Yu Linglong was furious. It turned out he did it on purpose!
He deliberately praised her in the capital, deliberately let everyone know that she was the favorite person of Lord Xu, and deliberately let everyone know that she had an affair with Lord Xu, so that she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to run, and couldn’t refuse even if she wanted to refuse![Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
At this time in ancient times, once a woman’s reputation was ruined, it was a big deal. If she didn’t marry the person who ruined her reputation, she could only die or become a nun.
This guy was sure she didn’t dare to refuse, so did he resort to such a despicable trick!?
Yu Linglong couldn’t help but sneer: “Reputation? Reputation is nonsense!”
Did he see her as one of those beautiful ladies in ancient times, or a little girl who knew nothing about the world? This kid underestimated her too much!
Hearing her disdainful answer, Lord Xu was startled at first, and then laughed loudly: “Yes, reputation is nonsense, I underestimated you!”
The big hand that was holding her waist tightened, and pulled her closer to him again. Lord Xu’s voice spread extremely far in the night.
“Daring to love and hate is her true temperament, this is the woman I like!”
…
On the Dinghui River, the shops on the shore had already put down their door panels to close, but suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. Everyone just looked up, but only saw a huge white shadow wind passing by, blinking, and then it disappeared.
After running to a dark and remote riverbank, Lord Xu took the rein of the horse and pulled Yu Linglong off it.
Yu Linglong looked around and saw jet black like splashing ink. Nothing could be seen in the surroundings. Only the black river water reflected the stars in the sky, emitting sparkling waves.
After adapting to the light in the darkness, Yu Linglong saw that there seemed to be a huge tree by the river. The night wind was blowing, and countless long and thin black shadows on the tree were floating slightly, bringing bursts of seemingly the smell of sandalwood.
Lord Xu’s voice sounded behind her: “This is a sacred tree. I heard that it has a history of more than four hundred years.”
Yu Linglong felt a little strange: “A sacred tree? What can it bless?”
In her cognition, totems such as grass and trees seem to have only existed in ancient times, but she did not expect that in this era, someone would worship a big tree.
Lord Xu paused before answering. In the dark, his voice seemed to have a little bit of a smile: “…All the young girls ask that, what can it bless you with?”
Obviously, she found this kind of superstition ridiculous.
Yu Linglong couldn’t help smiling. No wonder the incense here was so prosperous that it turned out to be a blessing for marriage.
She was not afraid of the invisible darkness around her. Darkness seemed to give her a unique sense of security. Unlike most people, she was not afraid of it. On the contrary, she still liked it. She liked to be in the dark. She liked the quietness of being alone in the middle and the peace that darkness brought to her. For her, darkness is almost a protective color.
However, she felt very strange at the moment. What did Lord Xu want to do with her running so far?
In the darkness, Lord Xu’s big hand held her as if he were familiar with the road, and walked a few steps forward. Based on the feeling, Yu Linglong guessed that he had taken her to the river bank.
The sound of the gurgling river was heard in his ears, and Lord Xu pulled her down with a slight force in his hand.
“You—”
Before she could voice her doubts, he had already told her the answer.
In the darkness, a warm light suddenly lit up. As if it was a miracle, a light pink lotus river lamp was already in full bloom in his palm. The faint light seemed so warm and bright in the endless night.
Putting the lit river lantern on her palm, two warm flames seemed to jump in his deep eyes, gradually dispelling the thick black darkness.
“Here.”
With her tender little hand holding the lotus river lantern, Yu Linglong still couldn’t believe her eyes.
He tried so hard to bring her here, just to set the river lantern?
It seemed like a trick. He took another river lantern from his arms and lit it in his hand.
Seeing that she was still stunned, Lord Xu suddenly smiled, and his black jade-like eyes reflected the sky, so bright that she couldn’t look away.
“What, haven’t you cast off a river lantern before?”
Yu Linglong was speechless. Can she say she really hadn’t cast them off before? This kind of girlish behavior had never been her style.
She put the river lamp in her hand carefully in the water, and gently pushed it with her slender fingers. The bright and warm light rippled with the river, and it gradually floated away from them.
Yu Linglong felt that the lotus lamp in her hand was as light as a feather but as warm as the thickest woolen blanket. The next moment, her hand was held by a warmer hand.
Lord Xu took her hand and they put the lotus lamp in the water together.
“I heard that if you make a wish when you light the river lantern, your ancestors will help you realize it.”
In the dark, his voice was as mellow as old wine, but it seemed to be slightly sad.
Yu Linglong knew that the river lanterns were to commemorate the dead relatives, but will Lord Xu also be sad for the dead relatives? Who is he mourning?
The hazy light drifted away, and the dark river water reflected her beautiful profile, like a fairy who was banished from the earth, handsome and enchanting.
“Who…who are you missing?” Yu Linglong couldn’t help but care about him involuntarily.
Lord Xu was startled slightly. His eyes fell slowly, hiding his glorious eyes.
As soon as Yu Linglong spoke, she regretted it, and immediately turned her head and added: “Just forget it if you don’t want to say it.”
Unexpectedly, Lord Xu said softly: “I was thinking of my mother, the imperial concubine.”
Yu Linglong had never heard about the royal family. She only knew that Lord Xu was the ninth prince, but she didn’t know that his biological mother was not a queen. Unexpectedly, Lord Xu, who was so free, was also an orphan, without a mother.
A familiar feeling arose spontaneously, revealing the softness of Yu Linglong’s heart that had been sealed for many years.
It’s just that she was not good at comforting people, let alone knowing what to do and how to continue this topic.
The river flowed slowly, pushing the two river lamps farther and farther, and the faces of the two people on the bank of the river became increasingly blurred.
After a long time, Yu Linglong spoke suddenly and changed the topic: “Well… what if you have a lot of wishes?”
There was a chuckle from Lord Xu in the darkness: “I didn’t expect you to be such a greedy person.”
Taking out a large stack of folded river lanterns from his arms, Lord Xu’s voice sounded a lot lighter: “Is this enough?”
Even Yu Linglong opened her eyes wide in surprise: “What are you doing with so many river lamps?”
Looking at her big sparkling eyes, Lord Xu couldn’t help but stretch out his fingers and tap the tip of her nose: “Of course it is to satisfy you, greedy little girl.”
No one had ever acted so affectionately to her before. Yu Linglong only felt that two hot blushes rose from the roots of her ears. Fortunately, it was dark, so there was no need to worry about being seen by him.
Moving her body unnaturally, Yu Linglong deliberately distanced herself from him, and her voice unknowingly regained her distance: “Then let it go.”
Perceiving her indifference, Lord Xu moved slightly and hesitated for a moment, but after all, he said nothing.
The colorful river lights were lit one after another, and one after another they left the riverbank, and the night gradually became brighter.
After a long silence, Lord Xu suddenly said, “Look!”
Yu Linglong looked up and saw the upper stream of Dinghui River. At some point, countless river lights of various sizes floated down the river, gradually blending with the river lights they set. Together, the whole river was decorated like the Milky Way in the sky, brilliant and bright as day.
Yu Linglong sighed softly, “It’s so beautiful.”
Such a beautiful scene was like a dream and fantasy, just like a fairyland, the two of them stood silently on the bank of the river, almost forgetting everything around them.
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. The moment lasted forever.
…
Suddenly more than half a month had passed, and the weather gradually turned cold. Not only did Lady Yu’s illness fail to get better, but it got worse. Since General Yu didn’t have to go to southern Xinjiang for the time being, the Mu Shi didn’t have so many things to arrange, so she went to pay her respects at Jingshan hall from time to time.
Lady Yu’s illness was not getting better. Mu Shi seemed to be very anxious and changed a few doctors. They only said that she was congested, frustrated, and needed to rest. Mu Shi used this as an excuse to prevent everyone from going to disturb Lady Yu. Except for Yu Linglong of course. They still let her visit the lady.
Even Yu Qianyun would go to Jingshan Hall to greet her only when Lady Yu sent someone to invite her over. The rest of the time, she followed the other sisters and Palace Maid Liu to learn the rules, but she was very quiet and peaceful.
In Jingshan Hall, when Yu Linglong was there, Mu Shi would consciously say goodbye to Lady Yu and leave. Even when she was away, she ordered the kitchen to make some soup for Lady Yu every day. The nourishing medicinal soup seemed to show that Mu Shi really hoped that Lady Yu would get well soon.
Unlike Mu Shi’s high-profile concern, Concubine Dong stayed with Lady Yu during the day and night, and she didn’t leave her side. Whether it was soup or medicine, she was fed Lady Yu by herself. Even the personal servants Yinghan and Ningshuang could not get in.
However, under the care and care of so many people, Lady Yu’s body was still not good, and even her spirit was gradually deteriorating. She spent more and more time sleeping the whole day and less and less time awake.
Yu Linglong couldn’t help being very anxious, and she sent people around to find out where there was a doctor with good medical skills and wanted to invite them to treat Lady Yu.
Even if she invited a few, they all had the same rhetoric as the previous doctors, and the prescriptions were quite different. Yu Linglong was upset and refused to go anywhere. Even Shi Huiru invited two of them, but she turned them down.
On this day, Yu Linglong was sitting in the room, and Ma Changgeng rushed in excitedly, and said, “Miss, I invited a doctor, do you want to show the old lady?”
Yu Linglong tossed for this period of time, but also a little frustrated, and said casually: “What kind of doctor is it?”
Ma Changgeng said: “Please don’t scold me. Miss, it’s a barefoot doctor in the slave village, who is good at treating diseases with various kinds of folk remedies. My mother-in-law suffers from heart palpitations. She gave her acupuncture a while ago, and he prescribed two more prescriptions. Now it’s much better. I thought about it, and dared to show him to the old lady, maybe he could be helpful!”
Yu Linglong thought for a while, then said, “Let him try.”
She had asked so many doctors to see her, and nothing worked. She didn’t know if folk remedies may have some effect.
Yu Linglong sighed slightly. She was really trying anything.
The next day, the doctor came to the Yu house with the medicine box on his back, and Ma Changgeng led him into Pinlan Garden: “Miss, this is the Mr. Huang that I told you about yesterday.”
Yu Linglong looked up and saw that this person was wearing a well-used long gown, but he looked very neat and tidy, with a white face with a few sparse hairs, showing a bit of scholarly air.
Presumably, he had never seen such a big family. Mr. Huang was very nervous with a few drops of sweat hanging on his forehead.
Yu Linglong glanced at him, then nodded lightly: “Ling’er, take him to Jingshan Hall.”
Ling’er motioned to Mr. Huang to come out with her, and said politely, “If you don’t mind”
Mr. Huang said hurriedly: “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare, the young ones must do their best.”
Mr. Huang followed Ling’er and went out. When he crossed the threshold, he lifted up his gown, revealing the clothes inside.
Yu Linglong was drinking tea with her head down, but she glanced at the corner of Mr. Huang’s shirt from the corner of her eyes. She saw a pattern that seemed to be familiar to her.
