Long Xiaoyu didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
Mu Ziling, who couldn't figure out what Long Xiaoyu was thinking at the moment, felt his heart beating secretly, feeling uneasy.
She admitted that the question she had just asked him was a little ridiculous.
Comparing my heart to my heart, if someone hurts her closest relatives, forcing her to suffer alone for so many years, even living her life under the arrangement and control, in such a situation, don't say it's against that person. When people hate him, even if he doubles the damage he has suffered for so many years, it is not enough to make up for it.
In a sense, her mother is Long Xiaoyu's enemy, and she is his enemy's daughter.
Thinking of the last few words, Mu Ziling's heart suddenly shrank.
It's fine if he treats her, the enemy's daughter, badly, but on the contrary, he treats her very well, so good that she is used to it and relies on it. However, after learning the cruel truth, how can I ask her? How could he still have a clear conscience and continue to enjoy the unique tenderness he gave him for granted
Seeing that Long Xiaoyu was still silent, Mu Ziling, whose heart was inexplicably uncomfortable, lowered his head, struggled and hesitated for a while, and then said again: "I know it was my fault to go to that garden without authorization, and I also know that you don't want to mention you. The matter of my mother and concubine, but since my mother has the unshirkable responsibility for this matter, I need to know the truth and take responsibility for my mother... "
"Mu Ziling." Long Xiaoyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, interrupting Mu Ziling's remaining words.
His voice was cold, with no emotion or anger, but it was not difficult to hear a few traces of seriousness mixed with his plain tone, because what he called was not "Mu Mu", but "Mu Zi Ling".
Mu Ziling tensed up subconsciously, and looked up at Long Xiaoyu.
Long Xiaoyu's gaze never left the little woman in front of him, from staring at her dark head, to now staring fixedly at her pair of beautiful eyes that seem to have tension and anxiety , He said slowly: "I'm a little unhappy, but it's not because you went to that garden, nor because you mentioned your mother and concubine, and it's not because of your mother, but because of you."
because of her
A look of confusion flashed across Mu Ziling's beautiful eyes, and then he stopped.
That's right, whether it's going to the garden, or Concubine Jin, or her mother, isn't it because she keeps mentioning the past that he doesn't want to mention
Clearly seeing the flowing light in Mu Ziling's eyes, as if she had seen her inner world clearly, Long Xiaoyu raised her brows together, then moved her lower body forward, approaching Mu Ziling with a serious expression, emphasizing her tone Emphasis: "It's not about others, it's just because of you."
Mu Ziling stared at the delicate and handsome face who was close at hand, his eyelids flickered twice, but he didn't speak.
Seeing her dazed and innocent expression, Long Xiaoyu couldn't help stretching out his hand, pinching her delicate cheek: "Do you still remember how you returned to the bedroom?"
Mu Ziling shook her head, then nodded again, and then the image of him helping her take a bath just now appeared in her mind, and the roots of her ears burned unconsciously.
Faintly guessed that Long Xiaoyu might be upset because she drank again, Mu Ziling relaxed for the most part, and then consciously admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I shouldn't drink again when you're not around Yes, I promise you, there will be absolutely no next time, don't be unhappy, okay?"
Perhaps it was because of the shy scene that she spoke, her voice became a little soft, and Long Xiaoyu's heart softened a long time ago, but he still kept a straight face on purpose: "Apart from this, there are other things. Is there any?"
besides
How come
Although she was prone to fragmentation when she drank, but after drinking Li Zhan's jacaranda wine at that time, her head was a little dizzy, but it was not that she could not remember things completely.
Mu Ziling frowned and tried to think about it.
From Long Xiaoyu's appearance in the garden to the time he took her back to his bedroom, she didn't seem to have done anything drunk, let alone said anything, except... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry... He said that he didn't like hearing those three words from her.
Suddenly realizing that this was the real reason for Long Xiaoyu's displeasure, Mu Ziling pursed her lips and did not make another sound.
Since ancient times, father's debt should be repaid by son, so she should make up for the harm caused to him by her mother, but right now, she doesn't know what to do except these three pale and powerless words.
Long Xiaoyu held up Mu Ziling's drooping little face, and said softly: "Do you know why you are not allowed to know about your concubine mother? I just don't want to see you taking responsibility for yourself like you are now." .”
It turned out that he had seen it all, and it turned out that all her guesses were correct, it was all done by her mother.
Mu Ziling, who was suddenly poked at the center of things, secretly bit the corner of her lips.
Long Xiaoyu stared at Mu Ziling earnestly and earnestly: "No matter what happened to the mother and concubine back then, it's none of your business, you didn't do anything wrong, and you didn't feel sorry for me, not only now, but in any future I don't even need your apology."
"Mumu, you are my wife, the only one I have identified in every life. I only hope that you can live a better life, instead of fettering myself because of this matter in the days to come, and being with me with guilt. Life, if this is the case, instead of feeling the slightest comfort and ease, I will feel uncomfortable and feel distressed."
"I can't bear it, and I don't want to see you care about your heart. Living like that will be very tiring. By my side, I want you to do whatever you want and be carefree. If one day, you are unhappy, then I..."
Before Long Xiaoyu finished speaking, Mu Ziling, whose eyes were already filled with moisture, threw himself into his arms, shaking his head desperately: "No, you can't let go, even if you let go, I will I stalk you and cling to you, even if you get bored, I won't leave. "
let go
But Long Xiaoyu, who had never thought about these two words, frowned subconsciously, and then felt the small body wrapped around him like an octopus, and his eyes were unconsciously dyed with a touch of tenderness. , swallowed the words "I will do my best to make you happy..." that was interrupted just now, and finally turned it into the simplest and most affectionate sentence: "Okay, I will let you depend on it."
At the end, seeing the little girl clinging tightly to his wet clothes that had just been splashed with water, Long Xiaoyu raised his hand to smooth her long hair, and said softly: "I'll go change my clothes, and I'll leave you alone. okay?"
Mu Ziling shook his head, but refused to let go.
Long Xiaoyu: "Then do you want to watch it? Or... you also want to serve?"
Mu Ziling, who clearly knew that he had to take a shower every time he changed clothes, stood still for three seconds. After three seconds, she buried her face in his arms and rubbed and rubbed all the snot and tears on her face. On top of his clothes, he blushed and left his embrace.
Long Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head as if helpless with this little woman, then stretched out his hand, and gently wiped away the tears remaining in the corner of her eyes, before turning around and going to the bathroom.
…
When he came back again, Mu Ziling was already under the blanket, and his sleeping appearance was rare and well-behaved by Long Xiaoyu. He walked lightly to the other side of the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down in it.
Mu Ziling didn't fall asleep. When she was embraced by Long Xiaoyu, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her steadily: "Is that garden still a forbidden place that I can't go to?"
Long Xiaoyu gave a helpless laugh: "The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, so she can go when she wants."
"You are the ugly daughter-in-law." Mu Ziling snorted innocently, leaving him with a back.
After a while, Mu Ziling turned around again and nestled into Long Xiaoyu's arms, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat, and asked softly: "Can you tell me about your concubine's illness? Maybe I have a way."
Long Xiaoyu was silent for a while, then he shook his head lightly, and said: "Mother Concubine's illness is not an illness, she is also the same as you before, but she has all three souls separated, and the one in the garden is just one. A body with a beating heart..."
Long Xiaoyu clearly felt that the little woman in his arms trembled slightly when he was talking about this, so in order to reassure her completely, he changed the topic: "Although your mother did this, but It's far from as simple as we thought, and your mother is not a simple woman, she can arrange all of this, there must be a reason, others may not believe her, but you are her daughter, so you have to believe it."
Hearing this, Mu Ziling was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Long Xiaoyu unexpectedly: "You... really don't mind?"
Knowing what she minded when she inexplicably asked, Long Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with an unclear meaning, and he asked in a cryptic tone: "Mind what? Mind if she brings you to me? Or do you mind because the broken five lines make me feel warm and fragrant?" Nephrite is in my arms, but I still want to be pure-hearted..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Ziling, who vaguely knew what he was thinking of, pushed him in embarrassment: "You know that's not what I asked."
Long Xiaoyu chuckled, hugged his warm and fragrant nephrite tightly, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and said in a deep voice: "There used to be a moment of lingering, but because of you by my side, everything seemed so It's not that important anymore, maybe I lost something when I came to this continent, but I also gained more... "
That night, the two shared the same bed and talked a lot with their hearts open. The distance between their hearts seemed to get closer this night.
-
Longyue Palace.
Above the main hall, Yu Wenhao sat on the highest tiger-skin chair.
Ever since the accident in Longyue Palace and Yue Linglong's defection, Yu Wenhao's complexion has never been clear. In the whole Longyue Palace, every time he saw his gloomy expression, he would clamp his ass tightly and act carefully. .
No, at this moment His Highness was standing tremblingly with a spy who had been sent out not long ago.
Yu Wenhao flicked his sleeves: "Say."
Spy: "Reporting to the Grand Master, the second palace... Yue Linglong is indeed in the Mu Mansion, and the people you sent over several times before have indeed entered the Namu Mansion, but they all come in but never come out. order, sneaked in the dark to observe for a few days, and found... found..."
