Since Biwei and Cheng Anle were in the backyard, the Westerners temporarily borrowed Shopkeeper Xi's study.
"Do you want to eat fish soup?" Shopkeeper Xi asked.
"Eat!" Qing Lingyi raised his hand.
"That's Xi..." Shopkeeper Xi glanced at the food box placed in front of Zuo Chongsi and said in a tone, "That's three bowls."
Song Yunling, who got up early in the morning and queued up to buy fish soup:...
It was a wrong payment after all!
"That is to say, Hu Shizhong has long been murderous towards Mr. Lu."
Zuo Chongsi was talking about business, but in private he touched Song Yunling's hand and squeezed it gently for comfort.
Cheng Yang nodded, "Uncle Hu Ping has a grudge against me. Lu Ting is my brother. Of course he wants Lu Ting's life."
"Then how is Mr. Lu doing now?"
"I sent someone else to protect him. Although he was injured, he was not seriously injured."
Zuo Chongsi raised his eyes, "Why would General Cheng think of sending someone to protect Mr. Lu?"
"Second brother, your fish soup is almost cold," Qing Lingyi said at the right moment, "Yun Ling bought it specially for you, you'd better eat it first."
Zuo Chongsi paused slightly, probably guessing that there must be something secret in this.
He didn't ask further questions and responded, "Okay."
"By the way, Ling Yi."
Song Yunling remembered, "Jiang Yizhou's wedding will be held in ten days, will you go?"
Cheng Yang's eyes darkened slightly.
Qing Lingyi shook his head, "I haven't received the invitation yet."
Cheng Yang thought silently, that's because I tore up those invitations.
"Maybe Lin Ruzhi doesn't want you to go."
Song Yunling figured out that after all, Jiang Yizhou liked Qing Lingyi so much. As soon as she showed up at the wedding, he didn't need to say anything. He just abandoned his bride and eloped with Qing Lingyi.
"Maybe," Qing Lingyi said, "but actually I quite want to go."
Cheng Yang was stunned: "You want to go?"
Qing Lingyi nodded his head.
Cheng Yang frowned.
Before finishing the fish soup, Wu Liang knocked on the study door.
Cheng Yang glanced at him, finished the last remaining fish soup, and said to Qing Lingyi: "I still have to go to work, um, Sui will be quite chaotic these days, so you try to stay at home."
"What if I have to go out for something?" Qing Lingyi tilted her head.
"Like what happened?"
"Go visit Mr. Lu." Qing Lingyi replied seriously.
Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment.
I really want to be jealous.
But the idea of "the main wife should be generous" came to mind for no reason.
Cheng Yang grinded his teeth slightly, "If you want to go, then go. Someone will protect you."
Qing Lingyi smiled.
After finishing the fish soup, Qing Lingyi went to the backyard to pick up Biwei and Cheng Anle.
Song Yunling's eyes instantly lit up when she saw Cheng Anle.
Cheng Anle called Qing Lingyi: "Mother~"
Song Yunling looked sideways in surprise: "Hmm, is this your daughter?"
"Yes." Qing Lingyi smiled and touched Cheng Anle's little head, about to tell her that this person should be called aunt.
Song Yunling said first: "I am the godmother."
Qing Lingyi suddenly remembered that when they were children, they were ignorant of the unknown and talked about the future.
Song Yunling said: "Yeah, I hope I can have a daughter in the future. It's best if she's well-behaved and soft like you. I will definitely give her the best of everything. If you have a daughter in the future, I will also accept her as my daughter." daughter."
Qing Lingyi smiled with her eyes bent, "Well, this is my godmother."
Cheng Anle nodded his head and called out obediently: "Godmother."
"Why--"
Song Yunling really likes little girls, they are soft and fragrant. She took out the money bag on her body, knelt down and handed it to Cheng Anle: "When we first meet, my godmother will give you this small red envelope. I will give you a bigger one during the new year and holidays."
Cheng Anle didn't answer and looked at her mother with a red face.
"Take it." Qing Lingyi agreed.
Cheng Anle then took it with both hands and raised a bright smile, "Thank you godmother~"
Song Yunling's heart was softened.
"Okay, we're leaving," Qing Lingyi said again, "Xiao Anle, say goodbye to your godmother."
Cheng Anle waved his hand: "Goodbye, godmother~"
Song Yunling almost cried, "Goodbye~"
"Do you like your daughter very much?"
Zuo Chongsi's thoughtful voice sounded in his ears.
Song Yunling nodded sincerely.
Zuo Chongsi lowered his tone, "Then let's go back and continue working hard?"
Song Yunling:......
My legs have begun to feel weak.

On the same day, Qing Lingyi returned to the General's Mansion first, put on the golden nanmu carriage sent by Song Yunling, and went out brazenly.
I stopped on the way and bought pastries myself.
Bi Wei was a little worried: "Madam, if this happens, those people... don't they know what carriage you are riding in?"
Qing Lingyi smiled and said, "I'm afraid they don't know."
Bi Wei was stunned for a moment.
The carriage arrived at Lu's house.
When he heard that Qing Lingyi was coming, Lu Ting rushed over regardless of his unhealed injury.
As soon as Qing Lingyi sat down in the hall, Lu Ting arrived. He walked in a hurry, the wound on his abdomen tore, and blood continued to seep out.
Lu Yuanxi stood up hurriedly: "What are you doing here!"
"No... aren't you here to see me?" Lu Ting's eyes fell on Qing Lingyi.
"I'll go to your place later!" Lu Yuanxi said angrily and went to call the doctor again.
Lu Ting pressed the wound with one hand and sat down next to Qing Lingyi, "Mrs. Cheng, you..."
He had something to say, but he didn't feel it was appropriate.
Turning his attention to the food box on the table, he asked, "Did you make it yourself?"
Qing Lingyi said without changing his expression: "Yes."
Lu Ting quietly opened the lid and took a look.
Lu Ting:......
very good.
Baiweizhai's.
The doctor rushed over to treat Lu Ting's wounds.
Since it was on the abdomen, I had to take off my shirt.
Qing Lingyi stood up and said, "Master Lu, please continue to recover from your injuries. I will go back first."
Lu Ting suddenly regretted it.
Why doesn't he wear dark clothes?
That way the blood stains won't be visible!
Qing Lingyi led Bi Wei away.
Lu Ting's eyes followed her back closely.
"stop looking!"
Lu Yuanxi scolded him, "That's your brother's wife!"
Lu Ting turned her head and said, "Dad, why don't you find me a woman like her, who is beautiful, kind-hearted, delicate and soft. I really like her."
Lu Yuanxi denied it: "There are different people in this world, how can you find the same one? Even if you do find it, do you want to use that woman as a substitute? You will not be happy, and it is not fair to that woman."
Lu Ting's face darkened, "Then I probably won't want to marry again in this life."
"you dare!"
If he hadn't been injured, Lu Yuanxi would have really wanted to beat him up.
·
In the next few days, Qing Lingyi occasionally went out, riding in a golden nanmu carriage.
He encountered several assassinations, but they were all stopped by Ji Fanzhi and his men in the dark.
Qing Lingyi received the exact news that the Hu Mansion accepted Jiang Yizhou's wedding invitation. Hu Pingbo, his eldest son Hu Yi and his wife Ye Wan will attend the banquet together.
Jiang Yizhou's wedding invitation was finally delivered to the general's mansion, and Mrs. Xue agreed with the minister and accepted the invitation.
Everything is going according to plan.
But Qing Lingyi always felt that something was wrong.
On the eve of the wedding, Qing Lingyi took the initiative to propose sleeping with Cheng Anle.
Before going to bed, Cheng Anle said in a daze: "Mom, dad hasn't been back for several days."
Qing Lingyi's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly realized what was wrong -
There have been frequent disturbances in Suidu in the past few days. Cheng Yang was ordered by His Majesty to personally lead the right guard and patrol day and night. He has not returned to the general's residence for several days.
What was unspeakable was that she was actually thinking about him.
"Dad still has a lot of things to do. He will be back when he is done." Qing Lingyi patted Cheng Anle on the back.
Cheng Anle hummed, hugged Xiao Huang tightly, and closed his eyes.
But Qing Lingyi couldn't sleep.
All she could think about was Cheng Yang's face.
"Boom."
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the window, and someone came in from there.
Qing Lingyi sat up warily.
She reached for the hairpin on her pillow, held it in her backhand, quietly got out of bed, and hid herself in the dark.
Today there are dark clouds and the moon is unclear.
The strong figure approached the bed, lifted up the curtain with one hand, and looked at the bed. He saw no one and was stunned for a moment.
Qing Lingyi seized the opportunity, tightened the hairpin and stabbed the opponent in the throat!
However, his wrist was clasped in time, and his whole body was forcefully held in his arms.
"it's me!"
A deep magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
Qing Lingyi was startled, and through the faint moonlight, she finally saw the scars on his eyes.
She relaxed and asked him in a low voice: "What are you doing secretly?"
"I shouldn't have come back," Cheng Yang's hot palm pressed against her waist, "but um, um, I think you can't sleep. If I don't see you again, I will definitely die."
