Beloved Empress

Chapter 234: The prime minister is not welcome

Views:

Chang Yuhou said with certainty: "This marriage is really suitable for my daughter. They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Her fiancé once saved her regardless of his own life and death, so he really loves my daughter. They will definitely be happy when they get married. Happy. Today, my daughter and her fiancé are going to the streets to buy things for their wedding. Now that the Prime Minister is here, if you can wait until the day when your daughter gets married, you must come to the mansion for a wedding drink."

Chu Lingxiao forced a smile, stood up and said: "Master Hou, this junior has come to Jiangbei for the first time, and there are still many things to do, so I won't bother you."

"I originally wanted to keep the Prime Minister in the mansion for dinner, but seeing that the Prime Minister is so busy, I can only wait for another time." Chang Yuhou stood up and said respectfully.

Chu Lingxiao said no more greetings, cupped his hands and said, "Farewell."

"Prime Minister, walk slowly." Changyuhou said with his hands in hand.

Chu Lingxiao left.

After Chu Lingxiao left, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked out from behind and came to Changyu Hou. Just as Chu Lingxiao guessed, Princess Lu and Huo Nuannuan had such good looks, their father was handsome, and their mother was She must also be unparalleled in elegance. Yes, this beautiful middle-aged woman is Huo Nuannuan's mother. She is a standard beauty. Even in middle age, she is still very beautiful.

"Ms. sir—" Mrs. Hou Ye walked to her husband and called softly.

Chang Yuhou looked at his wife, with a fond smile on his lips: "Madam, you heard everything just now."

Mrs. Hou Ye nodded: "I heard it all. In fact, the Prime Minister is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. Regardless of appearance, identity, status, literary talent, they are all very rare. It's a pity that Nuan Nuan has already been engaged, so she is destined to miss him. .”

Marquis Changyu sighed and said: "Even if Nuannuan doesn't have a marriage contract, we can't marry our daughter to him. Although he is good at everything, one thing is bad. He is too romantic. Who doesn't know the name of his romantic prime minister?" , if you marry your daughter to such a man, I'm afraid it will be hard to rest assured. Who knows whether his love for her is just temporary. I would rather Nuannuan marry an ordinary man and live a life of love and peace. She married such a man and competed with other women all day for a man. The eldest princess and the consort came before, and their intention was already obvious, so when the prime minister comes this time, I want to completely put an end to his idea, and I will never let him It ruined the good marriage between Nuan Nuan and Yu Hua. Our Huo family doesn’t need any royal relatives, as long as our daughter is happy."

Mrs. Marquis nodded in agreement.

Chu Lingxiao was very angry when he left the Marquis's Mansion. He didn't expect that he would be hit hard when he first arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. It seems that Marquis Changyu came prepared and deliberately rejected him. Humph! He thought that if this was the case, he, Chu Lingxiao, would give up! As long as it was a woman that he, Chu Lingxiao, had his eye on, there was no way he could not get it. He was determined to get Huo Nuannuan, no matter what method he used, he would get her.

Chu Lingxiao secretly made up his mind.

The carriage stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard. Chu Lingxiao didn't like to live in an inn, let alone an inn, or live in the government office here, so he ordered someone to rent an elegant courtyard in the city.

After getting out of the carriage, the women passing by saw Chu Lingxiao getting out of the carriage. They all stopped and couldn't help but be fascinated by his handsomeness. They all marveled that there was such a handsome and extraordinary man in the world.

If faced with this situation before, Chu Lingxiao would definitely stop and say hello to the beauties onlookers, but now, his mind was filled with Huo Nuannuan, and he was not in the mood to say hello to other women, without even looking at them. The woman took one look and walked straight into the courtyard.

Entering the hall, Chu Lingxiao sat down on his seat. Immediately, a calm man in black came in and said respectfully: "Sir." He was Chu Lingxiao's personal attendant and the one he trusted most. people.

Chu Lingxiao looked at the man and said, "Rufeng, how are you doing with the investigation you were asked to investigate?"

Rufeng came to Jiangbei a day early, and Chu Lingxiao asked him to investigate some things first.

Rufeng stepped forward and handed an envelope to Chu Lingxiao: "Sir, these are the things you asked your subordinates to investigate. They are all inside."

Chu Lingxiao took it, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, thank you for your hard work, go down and rest!"

"Yes!" Rufeng retreated.

Chu Lingxiao opened the envelope and took out the contents. There was a portrait inside. He took it out and opened it. He glanced at the man in the portrait and curled his lips disdainfully: "Humph! Huo Nuannuan, I really doubt the look of you and your family." Are they all bad? Can this man be as handsome as me?" He put down the portrait, then took out a few pieces of paper and looked at it carefully.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Before fighting against your love rival, you should naturally find out clearly.

After reading these things, Chu Lingxiao casually threw them into the incense burner and burned them with a look of disdain in his eyes.

As night falls, the night in Jiangbei City is also very beautiful. Although it is not as prosperous as Kyoto, it has a unique local style and excitement.

At night in Jiangbei City, various lanterns are hung in front of every house, and the streets are filled with lanterns, lighting up the dark night.

Maybe it’s because the people in Jiangbei don’t like darkness, or maybe they love lanterns too much, or maybe it’s because the weather in Jiangbei is relatively cold, so they want to use the warmth of lanterns to drive away the cold, so as far as the eye can see, there is almost a sea of lanterns. .

The streets are very lively. There are many more people on the streets at night than during the day. It is very lively with people coming and going.

Huo Nuannuan and a young and handsome man walked among the endless crowd.

The man was about the same age as Chu Lingxiao, and he looked very gentle and elegant. Although he was not as handsome and charming as Chu Lingxiao, he was still a rare handsome man. You could tell from his every move that he was well-educated.

"Nuan Nuan, are you tired after shopping for so long?" He was Nuan Nuan's fiancé, Shi Yuhua.

Huo Nuannuan looked at the man and smiled, shook her head and said: "Cousin, I'm not tired. You forgot, I'm a martial arts practitioner. This little journey is nothing to me, but it's you, cousin, right? Tired!"

Shi Yuhua smiled gently, and said in a deep and pleasant voice: "Nuan Nuan has also forgotten what my cousin does. My cousin is a businessman and often travels to various places to discuss business, so how can my cousin be tired after this journey? !”

Huo Nuannuan smiled: "Since we are not tired, let's continue shopping! It's been a long time since I went back to Jiangbei, and it's been a long time since I visited the night view of Jiangbei." Looking at the night view of Jiangbei, the figure of Chu Lingxiao suddenly appeared in his mind. , I thought of the scene of watching the night view of Kyoto with him in Kyoto before I came back. Scenes flashed before my eyes, and I immediately shook my head to get rid of this inappropriate scene. Now when I go shopping with my cousin, how can I think about other men? If my cousin knew about it, he would definitely be sad!

Huo Nuannuan looked up at Shi Yuhua and found that he was looking at her.

Huo Nuannuan felt guilty and worried that he would see something, so she murmured, "Cousin, why are you looking at me like this?"

Shi Yuhua looked at Huo Nuannuan with some obsession and said: "Nuannuan, cousin, it really feels like I haven't seen you for a long time. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have grown into a big girl. From childhood to adulthood, you have always been... I like to run out, and I really don’t have much time in Jiangbei. Not to mention that I haven’t seen the night view of Jiangbei for a long time. I’m afraid you have never seen the night view of Jiangbei properly, and we have never gone shopping properly.”

Huo Nuannuan scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Hey, who told me to have such a temper! But don't worry, cousin, I won't run out again in the future. After we get married, I will stay in Jiangbei obediently. .”

"Nuan Nuan, it's not that I won't let you run away anymore. I hope that if you want to go somewhere in the future, I can accompany you. Although you know martial arts, you are still a girl after all. I am worried that you will be in danger. , someone will bully you." Shi Yuhua's eyes were full of doting and affection.

But Huo Nuannuan slapped her chest and said, "Cousin, your cousin, my martial arts is so good, who can bully me! Unless they don't want to do it themselves." After traveling for so many years, except for the hateful Chu Lingxiao, This guy has really never been bullied. oops! Why am I thinking of that annoying guy again? Don't think about it.

"Nuan Nuan, will you let your cousin protect you from now on? As long as it is the scenery you want to see, my cousin will accompany you to see it. Wherever you want to go, my cousin will accompany you. I will never let you be alone again." Shi Yuhua confessed affectionately.

Huo Nuannuan nodded shyly and said softly: "Okay!"

Shi Yuhua smiled happily. When he saw Nuan Nuan this time, he found that she was always absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something. This kind of her made him feel a little uneasy and worried, as he was afraid of what she would encounter during these days outside. The one who made her heart beat, so he was eager to marry her and express his feelings to her. Fortunately, she agreed to him, which made him feel a little more relaxed. I hope I'm overthinking it.

"Nuan Nuan, my cousin is going to take you to see the night view of our Jiangbei City tonight. As a native of Jiangbei, how can you not appreciate the beautiful scenery of your hometown!" Shi Yuhua smiled elegantly.

Huo Nuannuan nodded: "Okay, then it's my cousin's fault."

"Silly girl, do you still need to be so polite to your cousin?" Shi Yuhua looked at her and slowly moved his hand closer to hers, his heartbeat speeding up unconsciously and he was nervous.

And just when Shi Yuhua's hand was about to touch Huo Nuannuan's hand, suddenly, a big palm shot out halfway, and he rushed in front of Shi Yuhua and took Huo Nuannuan's small hand. A handsome and extraordinary face appeared in front of Huo Nuannuan. enlarge.

Huo Nuannuan was frightened by the sudden appearance of the person. She couldn't believe what her eyes saw. She froze on the spot and forgot to withdraw her hand that was held by him.

Shi Yuhua felt displeased when he saw Huo Nuannuan's hand suddenly being held by a strange man. His mind that had just been relaxed suddenly became stronger again. He looked at the man who suddenly appeared and asked, "Who are you?" Fairly mild.

Chu Lingxiao seemed to have not heard what he said, and ignored him arrogantly. He looked at Huo Nuannuan, the corners of his lips curved nicely, and he tapped the tip of Huo Nuannuan's nose and said, "Smelly girl, what's wrong? ?My tongue was eaten by a cat and I can’t speak anymore?”

When Shi Yuhua saw the intimate behavior between Chu Lingxiao and Huo Nuannuan, he felt very uncomfortable and felt sour and uncomfortable.

Huo Nuannuan finally recovered from her shock and said in disbelief: "You, why are you here?" She tried to take away the hand held by Chu Lingxiao, but Chu Lingxiao held it tighter. Nuannuan frowned displeased.

Chu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows proudly.

Shi Yuhua spoke again: "Nuan Nuan, is this young master your friend?"

Huo Nuannuan looked at Shi Yuhua and introduced, "Cousin, this is the current prime minister, Chu Lingxiao."

Shi Yuhua nodded and said gently: "It turns out to be the Prime Minister. I'm disrespectful." Although he was respectful and polite, there was a hint of displeasure.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Shi Yuhua. The two looked at each other, with strong hostility flowing between them.

Although Shi Yuhua had never met Chu Lingxiao, he had heard of Chu Lingxiao's name as the romantic prime minister. Although he didn't know how Nuan Nuan knew him, the way he looked at Nuan Nuan made him feel a strong threat. , could it be that this romantic prime minister has preyed on Nuan Nuan and wants to fight against Nuan Nuan? No, he will never let him hurt Nuan Nuan.

"You are Nuannuan's cousin! I heard him mention it, and I have admired him for a long time." Chu Lingxiao replied perfunctorily.

But hearing this sentence made Shi Yuhua feel very uncomfortable. Nuan Nuan actually mentioned him in front of Chu Lingxiao, but she never told herself that she knew the current prime minister.

Huo Nuannuan took out her little hand from Chu Lingxiao's, looked at Shi Yuhua and said, "Cousin, I'm actually not familiar with him. I only met him in Prince Lu's Mansion. He and his brother-in-law are cousins."

Shi Yuhua looked relieved and said: "So that's it."

Huo Nuannuan explained her relationship with her in this way, which obviously made Chu Lingxiao very dissatisfied. He couldn't help but said: "Huo Nuannuan, you are really heartless. You were injured before, but you have lived in my Prime Minister's Mansion for half of the time." Yue, you still dare to say that you only met me in Prince Lu’s Mansion, when did you, this girl, learn to lie?”

"You-I'm just recuperating in your house. I'm not familiar with you. Please don't talk nonsense here." Huo Nuannuan's cheeks turned red. Damn it, Chu Lingxiao, what on earth is he going to do? He and his cousin are about to get married. Is he here to cause trouble? Does he have to ruin his reputation to be happy? Although he had beaten him before and had trouble with him, there was no need for him to take revenge like this! What should I think of myself if my cousin misunderstands me? My cousin had been a life-saving grace to me, and I knew very well how much his cousin loved me. I couldn't repay the life-saving grace, so I could only promise it with my life. Moreover, my cousin was really good to me, and I believed that I would marry him. I will definitely be happy. I have already worked hard to get along with my cousin. What is this Chu Lingxiao doing here at this time

Chu Lingxiao took Huo Nuannuan's hand and said, "Huo Nuannuan, I have something to tell you. Come with me."

Huo Nuannuan didn't want to go with him. She stood still and pulled her hand back with all her strength. She said displeasedly: "Chu Lingxiao, if you have anything to say, just say it here. I won't go with you." . ”

Shi Yuhua saw this and stepped forward to stop her: "Prime Minister Chu, Nuan Nuan has already said that she is not familiar with you and is not willing to go with you. Please don't force her."

"You are a small businessman. What qualifications do you have to talk to this Prime Minister? Get out of the way." Chu Lingxiao couldn't control his temper when he saw their concubine Lang Qingyi. He thought he could control it well. With his own temper, no matter who he faces, he always looks relaxed and at ease. The angrier others are, the happier he is. Others give him the nickname "Smiling Tiger". No matter how big things are, he has never seen him. When he is angry, or has been angry, he will solve anything with a smile. There is a knife hidden in his smile, which is extremely sharp, so few people can irritate him, but only Huo Nuannuan has this ability. She can easily irritate him and break his smile. , as long as he faced Huo Nuannuan's matter, he found it difficult to control his temper and to deal with it with the disguise of a smile.

That's why he spoke to Shi Yuhua in such cold and stern words at this moment. If he were facing others, he would definitely not act like this.

Huo Nuannuan was a little angry when she saw Chu Lingxiao speaking so rudely to Shi Yuhua, and said displeasedly: "Chu Lingxiao, why do you yell at my cousin?"

Shi Yuhua glared at Chu Lingxiao displeasedly, and said in a colder voice: "Prime Minister Chu, although I am just a small businessman and not qualified to talk to a big shot like you, what you want to take away now is mine. Fiancée, I can’t just sit back and watch.”

Chu Lingxiao watched Shi Yuhua and Huo Nuannuan deal with him in harmony, a bit like a harmonious couple. Thinking this, the anger in his heart became stronger. He glared at Shi Yuhua and said provocatively: "I'm going to take her away. What can you do to me, Prime Minister?"

Shi Yuhua said coldly: "Even if it costs me my life, I won't let you hurt Nuannuan at all."

Chu Lingxiao's eyes were full of disdain: "Your life, hum! Your life is worthless in the eyes of this prime minister. If I want someone's life, it would be worse to crush an ant with just one finger." Easy."

Shi Yuhua was not afraid and said: "Prime Minister Chu, although you are the prime minister, there are still laws! I have not made any mistakes. If you kill me casually, I am afraid the law will not allow it!" As the prime minister, if you know the law and break the law, you will be punished with a higher penalty." Although Shi Yuhua is just a businessman, he is not a person who is afraid of trouble. Nuan Nuan is the woman he wants to marry and protect in this life, and he does not allow anyone to harm him. She, she could risk her life for her before, but she can still do it now.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Shi Yuhua and smiled: "I didn't expect that you, a small businessman, are quite talented. Yes, I am impressed by this prime minister." He thought that Shi Yuhua would be timid like ordinary businessmen, but when he saw him like this People of this status would nod and kowtow and say some nice things. He didn't expect him to be so kind, which surprised him. At the same time, he also felt threatened. If he didn't plan carefully and use some means, he might not be able to defeat him. Huo Nuannuan snatched it over smoothly.

"Prime Minister Chu, please let me go." Shi Yuhua said in a cold tone.

Chu Lingxiao raised a smile on his lips, put on his cynical mask, raised his eyebrows, looked at Huo Nuannuan and said: "It's my prime minister's business to let him go, and it's your business to stop him, and she Let her decide whether to go with me or not." His eyes fell on Huo Nuannuan, and he met her eyes, looking at her with a hint of threat in his eyes, as if she only dared to say that she would not go with him. He would kill Shi Yuhua on the spot.

Huo Nuannuan felt the tense hostility between Shi Yuhua and Chu Lingxiao. Although she didn't fully understand Chu Lingxiao, she knew him somewhat. She knew that as long as he wanted to do something, no one could stop him. He was The kind of person who won't give up until he achieves his goal. Since he came all the way from Kyoto to Jiangbei, he must really have something to tell him! If I don't follow him, I'm afraid my cousin's life will really be threatened.

As the saying goes, an arm cannot twist a thigh. Even if my cousin is not afraid of Chu Lingxiao, after all, he is just a businessman, and Chu Lingxiao is powerful and a relative of the emperor. If he really wants to deal with his cousin, it will be easy. Cousin After saving his own life, how could he let him be in danger because of himself? So she made a decision in her heart, looked at Shi Yuhua and said: "Cousin, maybe the Prime Minister really wants to talk to me about something! It may be something about my sister. I'll talk to him first. Cousin, you go back first. Come on! I will go to Shi Mansion to find you tomorrow and give you a clear explanation."

"Nuan Nuan—" Shi Yuhua was a little worried about Huo Nuan Nuan.

Huo Nuannuan gave him a bright smile: "Cousin, don't worry, I will be fine. My cousin is very good at martial arts. No one can bully me."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Lingxiao hated seeing Huo Nuannuan being gentle and affectionate towards Shi Yuhua, so she took his hand and left unhappily.

Shi Yuhua watched Nuan Nuan being pulled away by Chu Lingxiao, with anger and displeasure in his eyes. He wanted to snatch Nuan Nuan back from his hands, but he did not have the courage. It was not because he was afraid of Chu Lingxiao, but because Nuan Nuan chose He wanted to go with him, he felt so flustered and confused, but he could do nothing. But he made himself believe in Nuan Nuan. He believed that since Nuan Nuan agreed to marry him, he would not let him down. This comforted himself and made him feel much better.

Chu Lingxiao took Huo Nuannuan to an upstairs building for viewing. Standing here, she could have a panoramic view of the night view of Jiangbei City.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Huo Nuannuan, feeling very good. The person she had missed for so many days was finally standing in front of her. This fulfilling and real feeling was really great.

"Huo Nuannuan, I didn't expect the night view of Jiangbeicheng to be quite beautiful."

Huo Nuannuan stared at him, obviously displeased, and asked: "Chu Lingxiao, did you bring me here just to watch the night view of Jiangbei City with you?"

Chu Lingxiao smiled good-naturedly and asked, "Don't you want to see it?" Just now, he stood aside and watched Huo Nuannuan and Shi Yuhua for a while, and heard Shi Yuhua say that he would take him to enjoy the night view of Jiangbei City. , he was really angry. How could she watch such a beautiful night scene with that little businessman! Even if you want to watch it, you have to watch it with him.

"I don't want to watch it with you." Huo Nuannuan shot back unhappily. Although his appearance surprised her and made her feel a little bit happy, his behavior just now had completely killed the joy in her heart. She was really angry and angry with him now. , how could he do that to his cousin!

"Then who do you want to watch with, that businessman? He's worthy of it, too." Huo Nuannuan's refusal made Chu Lingxiao furious, and he began to speak indiscriminately again.

Huo Nuannuan glared at Chu Lingxiao displeased and said angrily: "Chu Lingxiao, why do you insult people like this? What's wrong with the businessman? Are businessmen going to be looked down upon by you? My cousin is doing business legitimately, and on his own Why do you look down on him because of his ability to make money? Why doesn't he deserve to see the night view of Jiangbei City with me? He is my fiancé, and we are going to get married soon. There is no one in the world who is more worthy than him to see the scenery with me. .”

"You, you shameless girl, I came all the way from Kyoto to Jiangbei to see you. It doesn't matter if you're not overjoyed, but you still scold me like this. What's so good about that Shi Yuhua? I just don't think he deserves it. Fuck you." Chu Lingxiao said angrily.

Huo Nuannuan felt slightly moved in her heart and asked, "You, are you really here to see me?"

Her question made Chu Lingxiao very unhappy. If he didn't want to see her, why would he go to the palace to find the emperor so much and come to Jiangbei in the name of inspection? It would be great if he stayed in the capital and was free and at ease. Girl, you don’t understand his thoughts at all, and now you’re questioning him, huh! So the angry Chu Lingxiao did not express his feelings, but said arrogantly: "Don't overestimate yourself. I am inspecting Jiangbei on behalf of the emperor, and I came to see you by the way, but even so, you should be content. Yes, being able to be visited by this Prime Minister is a blessing you gained in your previous life."

Huo Nuannuan felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it. She looked at Chu Lingxiao and said with a perfunctory smile: "Yes! The little girl can be visited by the Prime Minister. It is the blessing that the little girl has cultivated in her previous life. Thank you, little girl. Now that the Prime Minister's love has been seen, the people and the scenery have been seen. The Prime Minister should have nothing else to do! The little lady still has something to do, so I won't accompany you and say goodbye." She turned around and was about to leave. She and Chu Lingxiao were about to leave. There shouldn't be any intersection. Although we knew each other when we were in Kyoto, now that I'm back in Jiangbei, I should forget everything. It would be good for both of us to distance ourselves from him.

Seeing that Huo Nuannuan was about to leave, Chu Lingxiao panicked. He immediately strode forward, hugged Huo Nuannuan from behind, and said urgently: "Don't leave, I won't let you go."

Being suddenly hugged by Chu Lingxiao, Huo Nuannuan's heart skipped a beat. After being stunned for a moment, she said displeasedly: "Chu Lingxiao, what are you doing? Let me go."

"Huo Nuannuan, you are not allowed to marry Shi Yuhua, he is not worthy of you." Chu Lingxiao hugged her and murmured.

After hearing what he said, Huo Nuannuan shook her head and smiled: "You don't know what happened between me and cousin Yuhua. Although he is just a businessman, he is really good to me and he is worthy of me. "

"No, he is not worthy of you." In Chu Lingxiao's heart, no one should be worthy of Huo Nuannuan except him.

Huo Nuannuan asked curiously: "Since cousin Yuhua is not worthy of me, then who do you think can be worthy of me?"

Chu Lingxiao wanted to blurt out her words, but she was afraid that being rejected by Huo Nuannuan would make her lose face, so she said tactfully: "Actually, with a family background like yours, you can definitely find someone with better conditions. Besides, you express It’s not easy for a small businessman like you. If you marry such a small nuisance, won’t you bring scourge to him? If he ruins everything and ruins your life, you’ll feel bad too! So you’d better not marry him. Well, if you really want to get married, why not marry me! I will take you in and do your best to eliminate harm for the people."

"You, you, you-" Huo Nuannuan was so angry that Chu Lingxiao couldn't speak, knowing that his dog's mouth couldn't spit out ivory: "Let me go."

"Don't let go." Chu Lingxiao said proudly, hugging her tightly. I obviously like this person, but what I say makes people disgusted.

Huo Nuannuan was really angry. She raised her foot angrily and stepped hard on Chu Lingxiao's foot.

Chu Lingxiao jumped in pain and finally let go of her.

Huo Nuannuan glared at him angrily and shouted: "Let me marry you in the next life! Even if all the men in the world die, I will not marry you." He walked away angrily.

When Chu Lingxiao saw this, he immediately squatted on the ground and said with a painful expression: "Oh! I feel so uncomfortable! Am I going to die?"

His painful voice reached Huo Nuannuan's ears, causing her to stop unconsciously. She slowly turned back to look at him to see if he was playing another trick. She saw him squatting on the ground. With a face of pain, Huo Nuannuan still looked at him warily and said, "Chu Lingxiao, stop acting. I just stepped on your foot. Does it hurt like this?"

Chu Lingxiao said with a painful expression: "It's not my feet that hurt, it's my stomach that hurts. I first came to Jiangbei, so I'm probably not used to the food here. Maybe I've had a bad stomach. It hurts! I don't have the strength to stand up. Is it because I'm old?" Qingqing, are you going to die here?"

Huo Nuannuan didn't like what he said about whether he was dead or not, so she turned back, walked to him, and said displeasedly: "It's just a stomachache. It's so easy to die. I'll help you see the doctor." She walked over to help him.

Chu Lingxiao said painfully: "Let's go! Leave me alone. You are going to marry your cousin. If he sees that you are so close to me, he will definitely misunderstand me. I'm afraid that after you marry him, he will I’ll bully you.”

"How long has it been and you still think so much? My cousin is not as petty as you think!" Huo Nuannuan teased unhappily.

When Chu Lingxiao heard what she said, he was very unhappy and complained: "It's already this time and you still speak for your cousin. I'm angry."

At this time, Chu Lingxiao was still as arrogant and arrogant as the prime minister just now. He was like a willful child. Huo Nuannuan couldn't help but be amused by his expression: "I'm really convinced by you, one after another." Like, I really don’t know what the real you are like.”

Chu Lingxiao immediately responded: "In front of you, I am the most real."

Huo Nuannuan was startled and looked at him.

Chu Lingxiao looked back at her, smiling brightly, and was also deeply fascinated by her. Looking at her up close, her skin was really good and delicate. Under the refraction of the light, it added a touch of mystery, making her even more charming. .

After Huo Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, she realized something was wrong. She looked at him and asked coldly: "Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

Chu Lingxiao came back to his senses and immediately covered his stomach and said, "Ah! Ouch! My stomach hurts so much!" He thought that his acting skills were very good and he could deceive all kinds of beauties every time, but in front of her , why have you lost your mind!

Huo Nuannuan stood up angrily and said coldly: "Chu Lingxiao, you have gone too far, how dare you lie to me."

Chu Lingxiao stood up and said aggrievedly: "I saw that you were leaving, and I didn't know how to keep you, so I said this."

"You, it's fun to lie to me, isn't it? Chu Lingxiao, you are really hateful. I hate people lying to me the most, but you always challenge my bottom line." He glared at Chu Lingxiao, really wanting to strangle him to death.

Chu Lingxiao said proudly: "Actually, you care about me, right? Seeing me in pain, will you be worried?"

"You, Chu Lingxiao, can you be any more despicable and shameless?" Huo Nuannuan was too angry to bother with him anymore and left angrily.

"Huo Nuannuan—" Chu Lingxiao hurriedly ran to her and blocked her way.

Huo Nuannuan glared at him and threatened: "Chu Lingxiao, get out of my way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Seeing that Huo Nuannuan was really angry, Chu Lingxiao immediately pretended to be pitiful: "Huo Nuannuan, actually I didn't mean to lie to you. I just suddenly came to this strange place with no one I knew. I feel so lonely and want to find someone to chat with. This is my first time in Jiangbei. I don’t know anyone in Jiangbei. I only know you, so I thought of looking for you, but you didn’t give me any favors as soon as I met. Judging by your expression, in order to keep you, I can only think of that method."

Huo Nuannuan looked at him. Although she didn't want to believe what he said anymore, it seemed that what he said was really pitiful. The anger in her heart dissipated slightly, and she was still a little unhappy and said: "If you want to talk to someone, You can tell me directly! There is no need to lie to me in this way."

Chu Lingxiao nodded like a child who had done something wrong: "Yes, yes, you are right. It was my lack of consideration that made you angry. I am really sorry. It is all my fault. You don't want to You're angry, okay? To express my sincerity in apologizing, can I treat you to dinner? The food in Jiangbei is pretty good, but I don't know which one is delicious. Can you go with me? "

Huo Nuannuan looked at him and asked warily: "You're not going to play another trick, are you?"

Chu Lingxiao immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, no, how dare I play tricks in your territory!"

Hearing what he said, Huo Nuannuan's lips finally burst into a happy smile: "That's pretty much it. Okay! For the sake of you coming from afar, I'll do my best to be a landlord! Let's go and take you with me. Go eat something delicious.”

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Chu Lingxiao took Huo Nuannuan's hand and walked downstairs.

Huo Nuannuan wanted to break away from the hand he was holding.

But Chu Lingxiao refused to let go, with a proud smile on his lips.

The two of them went to a restaurant, ordered the signature dish, and ate it deliciously.

Chu Lingxiao kept praising: "The food in this restaurant is really good. I didn't expect the food in Jiangbei to be quite delicious."

As a native of Jiangbei, Huo Nuannuan felt happy when she heard his compliments.

And this scene reminded her of the night she spent with him in Kyoto before returning to Jiangbei. It seemed that the scene was repeated, but in a different place.

After dinner, before Huo Nuannuan could say anything to leave, Chu Lingxiao rushed in front of her and said: "Huo Nuannuan, this is my first time coming to Jiangbei. I want to see the night view of Jiangbei City. As a person, Jiangbei people, since you want to fulfill your duty as landlords, you must do it to the end. Show me the night view of Jiangbei City! Let’s go to fun places."

Huo Nuannuan was a little confused: "It's getting late, I should go back early, otherwise my parents will be worried. Besides, although I am from Jiangbei, I don't spend much time in Jiangbei, so there are people in Jiangbei city I don’t know what fun places there are, so why don’t you go and play by yourself!”

"No, I have to go with you. Huo Nuannuan, you little heartless person, when you were in Kyoto, I took you to visit all the fun places in Kyoto. Now I'm here in Jiangbei, How could you leave me alone and go alone! You are so unloyal! You even said that you are a chivalrous woman who walks in the world! Is this the way of a chivalrous woman? Anyway, I don’t care, you have to accompany me to visit Jiangbei City , if you don’t know where there is something fun, let’s go look for it together and watch the night view of Jiangbei. Anyway, you can’t leave me alone. If you dare to leave like this, I will follow you to the Marquis’ Mansion. If your parents ask me, I can't guarantee whether my mouth will talk nonsense. It's up to you what to do!"

"Chu Lingxiao, you, I have never seen you such a shameless and shameless person." Huo Nuannuan's anger that had finally dissipated was ignited by him again.

When Chu Lingxiao saw this, he immediately raised the corners of his lips and said with an apologetic smile: "Hey, actually, I didn't mean to make you angry! I just wanted to find someone to spend more time with me. Don't be angry after dinner, I'll tell you something Is it a good joke? Once upon a time—"

"Okay, okay, how can I be in the mood to listen to jokes now? Don't you want to enjoy the night view of Jiangbei City? Let's go! Finish reading as soon as possible and go back early." Huo Nuannuan glared at him angrily, just wanting to take him away Dismissed immediately.

Chu Lingxiao smiled happily: "That's great, I knew you couldn't bear to be cruel to me." Humph! Huo Nuannuan, you can only see the beautiful scenery in the world with me, I cannot let you see it with that man named Shi Yuhua! Today I will take you to visit all the fun places in Jiangbei City and see the beautiful scenery. Next time he takes you to see it, I believe you will not be interested, hahaha - no, you can’t let him show you the beautiful scenery. Opportunity.

"Don't be disgusted! Walk faster." Huo Nuannuan strode forward.

Chu Lingxiao followed behind and complained dissatisfiedly: "Huo Nuannuan, we are enjoying the beautiful scenery, not rushing. If you are walking in such a hurry, what can you see!"

Huo Nuannuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked straight forward because she thought of a place suitable for him and believed that he would like it.

So after a while, the two of them stood in front of a very busy shop. There were several women at the door coquettishly soliciting customers, and men walked in one by one.

Chu Lingxiao looked at the door, which read: Zuimenglou.

With a smile on her lips, Huo Nuannuan looked at him and said: "This is the largest brothel in Jiangbei City. The courtesans inside are very beautiful. There are many beauties in it, all types of beauties, and they are guaranteed to satisfy you. "

Chu Lingxiao's anger immediately rose, he glared at her angrily and said angrily: "Huo Nuannuan, you did it on purpose!" Stinky girl, he came to see her, but she pushed him to another woman. What does she mean? Are you so unpopular with her
