Fifty-first bowl of soup (9)
On the way, Tan Youling was greedy for candied haws, so Chi Jing got off his horse and bought a bunch for her. Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the street in the middle of winter, and the horse walked slowly without getting in the way. He let go of the rein and controlled the speed of the horse. Looking at his wife in his arms eating so hard, he couldn't help but smile.
She looks dignified and virtuous on weekdays, but she still has a lingering childishness. Tan Youling didn't know what Chi Jing was thinking, she felt unkind after eating a few, raised her hands to Chi Jing's mouth, and asked expectantly, "Do you want to eat?"
There were stars in her eyes, shining brightly. Chi Jing actually didn't like it, but he still lowered his head and bit one, and said to Tan Youling, "It tastes good."
She immediately became happy and leaned back into Chi Jing's arms.
Back at the general's mansion, Chi Jing's expression was indifferent, no one could see what was going on in his heart. Just now he went outside the wing room and stopped the servants from reporting, so he had to know exactly what the two women said inside.
It's just that he never expected that there would be rebirth in the world, two at a time.
Rebirth, what an enviable thing. He suffered a thousand years at the bottom of the Wangchuan River before he got a chance, and for this chance, he even had to overcome obstacles. But some people are so favored by God, when will this world be fair
It was only when Tan Youling was going to bed at night that he realized that something was wrong with Chi Jing. In the past, he always held her in his arms, but today not only did he not touch her, he even turned his back on her. She called him twice and responded beautifully, and wondered in her heart, wondering if Chi Jing was in a bad mood, but what happened today made him in a bad mood
Could it be that the things that the Tian family asked him to do were particularly troublesome? But he's not the kind of person who can get angry. Besides, she is his wife, and he would never treat her like this.
After hesitating for a moment, Tan Youling took the initiative to prop up his upper body, put one hand on Chi Jing's shoulder, and called softly, "Husband?"
Chi Jing was silent.
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Tan Youling asked tentatively, stretched out his head to look at him, but saw that he closed his eyes and did not speak. Tan Youling is not stupid, so she naturally knew that Chi Jing didn't want to talk, so she leaned softly on him, leaned very close to him, and pouted slightly: "Is your husband angry with me?" But the problem is that she doesn't Know why he is angry.
What can Chi Jing say? Could it be that I just feel unfair, so I don't want to talk
But he couldn't bear to make Tan Youling sad, so he whispered: "No."
Was he not angry with her, or was he not? Tan Youling knew that if she turned over and went back to sleep now, the two of them would forget about it. Chi Jing has always been tolerant and considerate, and it is rare for her to lose her temper like this. She didn't feel scared but just found it interesting, so she touched his sharp face and said with a smile, "What's wrong with the general? Is it because I haven't done well enough?" She even kissed Chi Jing on the chin.
Chi Jing originally wanted to reject her, but in the end he accepted the kiss, but he still didn't speak.
Tan Youling called him twice but didn't get a response, so he slowly shrank back. Just when Chi Jing thought she had given up, a soft and delicate body was attached to his broad back, and two small hands were also clinging to his shoulders, pitiful and cute. "I know... Did the general overhear my conversation with Miss Ye?"
After much deliberation, this is the only possibility, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. Tan Youling knew that it was very risky for her to do so, but the matter of rebirth was too remote. If it wasn't for the deep and painful memories of her previous life, she would not believe it. She would rather be an ordinary woman, marry a beloved man, take care of her husband, teach her children, and live a beautiful life.
But she didn't want to hide it from the general, and she was willing to believe that with the general's character and knowledge, she would not leak this matter, let alone arrest herself as a monster. So she hugged him and said: "I am indeed a reborn person. I had a bad life in my previous life. My aunt was forcibly married by my father. She died of depression shortly after giving birth to me. I am not loved by my father. Da Furen and Di Sister They don’t like me even more. Before I was ready, they drugged me, ruined my reputation, and were forced to marry a man—you know, the one who belittled me in Xiangguo Temple that day.”
Noticing that the man's body was a bit stiff, and seemed to be still angry, she kissed his neck, and continued: "I just came back from rebirth that day, and I thought I would repeat the same mistakes in this life, but you, my husband, appeared. In the previous life I was not so lucky. Not to mention being humiliated by that person, I was also drugged by the eldest lady and sent to that person's house to be a concubine. They were afraid that I would run away or seek death, so they drugged me all day long. And tied me in the house for three full years. Later, the man became addicted to drugs and owed money, so he sold me into a brothel."
Speaking of this, Tan Youling took a deep breath, as if recalling the unbearable past life, but continued: "Although I am not a rich lady, I also know how to be ashamed, and I escaped while the guards were not paying attention, but it is a pity that soon Being overtaken and unable to bear the humiliation, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, but when he opened his eyes, he was crushed under that man again."
"Husband, don't annoy me, I shouldn't hide this matter..."
But before she finished speaking, Chi Jing hugged her into her arms, pinched her chin and kissed her.
This kiss was very different from the previous ones, but Tan Youling couldn't tell what was different, and seemed to be more tender and compassionate.
Chi Jing caressed her face and said in a low voice, "Needless to say, I won't annoy you."
He hugged the girl tightly, feeling a strange and surging feeling in his heart, but Chi Jing couldn't tell what this feeling was, for him, it was too strange, too menacing, and too powerless to resist.
"That's why I'm willing to see Miss Ye. Like me, Miss Ye is also a reborn person. My husband loved her miserably in his previous life, but in the end he died at her hands. I don't want to give you to her." Tan Youling felt that she was quite selfish. "I also like my husband. I treat him better than her. It is right for him to be with me."
Chi Jing hummed, "This is my good girl."
Tan Youling didn't want to ask at first, but she couldn't hold back: "Does my husband still like Miss Ye?"
"I don't like it." Chi Jing said lightly.
Then...does my husband like me
Tan Youling didn't ask, she didn't know how he would answer, so she just didn't ask.
That's fine too.
Ever since Tan Youling knew everything about Chi Jing and never concealed it, she found that her husband has become more gentle. If the tenderness in the past was respect and pity, then the tenderness now comes from the bones. Chi Jing's attitude is too obvious, no one else has this kind of tenderness except her.
Although he was very gentle when talking to others, the smile in his eyes was the most genuine only when he saw Tan Youling.
Slowly, Tan Youling felt that the only person Chi Jing trusted in this world was herself, as he said, he only cared about her.
What Tan Youling didn't know was that after learning about what happened to her in her previous life, Chi Jing ordered someone to find the scholar who had been thrown into the beggars' pile, and sent him to the little crown, where he became the lowest and most despicable tool. Anyone could come to humiliate and play with him, but he had his tongue cut out. He couldn't call for help, he didn't even have the strength, and he just died like this.
This kind of corrupted person, it would be cheaper to kill him simply and neatly.
And the Tan family.
Tan Youling still hated them, but Chi Jing had already cleaned up the Tan family before she knew it. Of course, he didn't make it too obvious. For a person like him who makes smart decisions and holds great power, it's easy to kill a family.
Ms. Tan has reached Jiji's age, but unfortunately, she just got engaged to a fourth-rank official's family, and was robbed by gangsters when she was out playing, and she came back three days later. , A month later, I found out that I had an evil seed!
The Tan family was so overwhelmed by the scandal that they couldn't lift their heads. At this time, someone suddenly sued the eldest lady to the Yamen, saying that they had evidence that the eldest lady had poisoned and murdered others. Under Jing Zhaoyin's vigorous investigation, the evidence of the crime was conclusive. The eldest lady was imprisoned, and even the emperor was unwilling to step in, saying that Mr. Tan's family style was corrupt and the goddaughter could not bear the heavy responsibility. come down!
This is good, the reputation is gone, the official position is lost, the daughter is also ruined, and Mr. Tan has nothing.
Tan Youling was stunned when she heard the news. Now she is very leisurely in the mansion every day. Although the general often goes to do business for the emperor, he will accompany her in his free time, or go boating on the lake, or visit the mountains, or Reading and playing chess, living a life like a fairy couple, she has not thought of this family for a long time.
If Master Tan hadn't brought Miss Tan to the General's Mansion, she would have almost forgotten that she had a father and a sister.
The butler watched her expression from the side, "Madam, how about I refuse it for you?"
Tan Youling thought about it too, "Okay." She didn't want to see them anyway.
But she underestimated how fearless people are when they reach a desperate situation.
Mr. Tan failed to beg to see Tan Youling, so he screamed at the gate of the general's mansion. It was nothing more than his daughter's unfilial disregard for his father's life and death. Ms. Tan was also sobbing and crying. Because of the eldest lady, the entire Tan family has become a mess.
There are more and more people watching. Who in the capital does not know that when the general married his wife, he deliberately did not invite his father-in-law's family, which meant that he did not recognize this relative, but the father and daughter were crying like this at the gate of the mansion. Look! The face of the guard at the gate changed.
They were smart enough not to get too close for fear of being expelled, so they sat at the intersection, crying while clutching their ankles. The second daughter, Princess Chang'an, was ordered to become the general's wife, but she didn't recognize their relatives, and ignored the kindness of his old father's upbringing, and refused to save them, it was simply heartless.
Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind too much, and he didn't dare to criticize Chi Jing.
