The voice was so artificial that Qing Lingyi almost didn't recognize it was Lin Ruzhi.
Then, Jiang Yizhou said dryly: "Your father and my father are colleagues. We are similar in age and grew up together. How could I not come to visit you?"
"Okay, I know~ But Brother Jiang, don't just lower your head, look at me~"
The tail tone was so delicate that Qing Lingyi turned her head silently.
Mrs. Zhou was extremely embarrassed.
Her husband told her that if she got married and no one came to see him, she had no choice but to find an excuse that she was seriously ill and couldn't see the guests.
Unexpectedly, it was broken! Where can she put her face?
"Since Mr. Lin and Miss Lin are ill and unable to see guests, I will go back. Mrs. Zhou does not need to see each other off." Qing Lingyi smiled warmly.
Her move was considerate, and Mrs. Zhou relaxed and said, "Mrs. Cheng, walk slowly."
Lin Ruzhi and Jiang Yizhou heard the noise and walked out one after another.
"Mom, who is it?" Lin Ruzhi was not happy that her good things were interrupted.
"It's Mrs. Cheng." Mrs. Zhou replied.
Jiang Yizhou was stunned for a moment. He looked up and seemed to be able to catch the haunting figure.
"Miss Lin, Mrs. Zhou, I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first," Jiang Yizhou said.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll see you off!" Lin Ruzhi said and started to follow.
Mrs. Zhou held her back forcefully.
Lin Ruzhi was very irritated: "What are you doing? I haven't even said a few words to Mr. Jiang!"
"You are also a boudoir lady after all. It's really ugly to be so busy!"
"But I just like him!"
"But I don't think he may like you," Mrs. Zhou said calmly, "I watched with cold eyes, Mr. Xiao Jiang went to pursue his wife."
Lin Ruzhi became annoyed when she heard this name: "This bitch!"
Mrs. Zhou said displeased: "Don't speak so harshly! She is here to visit you and your father!"
Lin Ruzhi sneered: "She had such an ugly fight with me, but she still has the nerve to come see me?!"
"This is the demeanor and demeanor of the matron of her family. You should learn from it!"
"Are you still my mother? Why do you always speak for outsiders?" Lin Ruzhi's eyes widened, "If you like her so much, then just accept her as your daughter!"
After saying that, he snorted heavily and ran into the yard.
Mrs. Zhou sighed helplessly where she was.

Qing Lingyi walked very quickly.
Finding that Biwei couldn't keep up, she even grabbed Biwei together.
Bi Wei was out of breath: "Husband, madam, why are we in such a hurry..."
Before Qing Lingyi could explain, a man's voice came from behind the two of them: "Mrs. Cheng! Wait a minute!"
Qing Lingyi frowned in great annoyance.
Of course he was walking so fast to avoid Jiang Yizhou.
But now that he had caught up with him, Qing Lingyi had no choice but to stop.
He adjusted his expression, turned around, and smiled politely and distantly, "Mr. Jiang, you are also here to visit Mr. Lin and Miss Lin, right?"
"Yes..." Jiang Yizhou frowned, "My mother must have asked me to come."
Qing Lingyi complimented: "Mrs. Fang is kind-hearted."
After a pause, he added: "Mr. Jiang, I have many things to do at home, so I have to leave first."
As he said that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Yizhou took a step forward: "Don't leave! I have something to tell you!"
Qing Lingyi felt so annoyed.
Love is so annoying, and men are even more annoying.
"My original intention was not to hold the lotus banquet. I belong to my heart. Even if she is married, I can't marry another wife. That was forced by my parents. Just like today, I really feel for that Miss Lin..."
"Master Jiang." Qing Lingyi suddenly interrupted him.
How dare you say such a thing in someone else's house?
Some people who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and have never experienced the suffering of the world are accustomed to having their own way.
Qing Lingyi's voice was warm and cool, and she said: "You and I have been classmates, so I have to say a few more words today. I don't know whose lady you admire, but in my opinion, you are not the same as her." No fate. You might as well ask yourself, if you admire her, does she have the same feelings for you? Since you said that she is married, how touching is it for her that you chase after her and never forget her? Deep, or extra burden?”
Jiang Yizhou stared at her: "But I..."
Qing Lingyi simply said it more plainly: "Mr. Jiang, you are just touching yourself. She doesn't love you. You are pretending to be affectionate, which makes her very troublesome. If you continue to pursue and fight, she is afraid I don’t even want to care about the old friendship anymore.”
Jiang Yizhou's eyes were slightly red: "Lingyi, why did you say to me..."
"Master Xiaojiang!"
A gentle male voice sounded from the flower path on the other side.
The young man was wearing an indigo round-neck robe, with a handsome face and elegant appearance. Shi Shiran stepped forward.
Jiang Yizhou turned his face away and tried hard to hide the emotions in his eyes.
The young man smiled slightly at Qing Lingyi and said, "Mrs. Cheng, long time no see."
Qing Lingyi had a slight impression of his face, but it was only a little bit, and she couldn't remember much in detail.
The young man saw it and said proactively: "I am Hu Zun."
Only then did Qing Lingyi remember that this was the second son of Hu Pingbo, the current servant.
When she was ten years old, the dignitaries of Suidu, led by Hu Pingbo and others, spontaneously discussed her future life.
Hu Zun stood behind Hu Pingbo and looked at Qing Lingyi.
"On your wedding day, I also went to the general's residence to congratulate you," Hu Zun sighed, "It's a pity that General Cheng was exempted from all etiquette, otherwise, I would have wanted to make a fuss in the wedding ceremony."
Qing Lingyi didn't know what to say, so she just laughed.
Hu Zun looked at her for a while, then turned his attention to Jiang Yizhou: "I almost forgot, Mr. Xiao Jiang, I'm here to find you."
"I?"
"I was coming from Chang'an Street, and your cousin made a fuss there."
Jiang Yizhou frowned.
"Master Xiaojiang, you'd better go and have a look soon."
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Hu for the tip."
Jiang Yizhou left first.
Hu Zun looked at Qing Lingyi again: "Okay, Mrs. Cheng, I'll accompany you to the carriage."
Qing Lingyi declined: "No need, Mr. Hu. This place is not far from the carriage."
"Mrs. Cheng, don't be nervous. I have good intentions. I thought if anyone else offends you, I will help you again."
Qing Lingyi wanted to refuse, so Hu Zunxian said in a teasing tone: "Is it possible that after so many years of not seeing each other, Mrs. Cheng won't even give me this face?"
In this case, Qing Lingyi had nothing to say.
As we walked along, Hu Zun said, "I wonder if Mrs. Cheng still remembers that I wanted to adopt you as my sister a few years ago."
Qing Lingyi smiled politely and said, "I was still young at that time and can't remember many things clearly."
"Yes, you were still a little girl at that time. You looked very well-behaved and made people feel at ease. I only have father and brother above me. I have wanted to have a sister since I was a child. Unfortunately, this wish did not come true in Yiyi."
"If Mr. Hu marries a wife and gives birth to a daughter, he will be considered to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish." Qing Lingyi said.
Hu Zun smiled: "Yes, my daughter is also very good."
Dense vines hung down from the slanting branches, which had not yet been cleaned up and blocked the path. Hu Zun walked up and picked up all the vines with one hand.
After the order passed, I put it down.
Qing Lingyi heard his gasp and looked sideways. It turned out that his palm was pricked by the thorns on the cane, and there was blood in several places.
She mentioned: "Master Hu is injured."
"It's a small injury, but it doesn't matter." Hu Zun hurriedly put his palms into his sleeves, "A woman is delicate and frail. I can't just watch Mrs. Cheng get injured by that cane."
