Ling Jingxian's tenderness was abruptly interrupted, and her smile suddenly became awkward and stiff.
I didn't know how to say the next words for a moment.
Seeing her reaction, Ling Jingshu confirmed what she was thinking, and felt that Ling Jingxian was ridiculously selfish. Not bothering to talk in circles with her, he said bluntly: "There are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Ling Jingxian blushed with embarrassment.
Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling Jingxian with a half-smile.
Based on her understanding of Ling Jingxian, now that she is here, she will say what she has been planning in her heart no matter what.
As expected, Ling Jingxian held it in for a long time and finally made her request shamelessly: "Cousin Shu, I love cousin Hong with all my heart. When my grandmother's birthday is over, I will beg my mother to mention the marriage secretly to my aunt... . Please don’t compete with me for cousin Hong, okay?”
There are many cousins in the Ling family, and the most beautiful one is Miss Ling Jiu, the legitimate daughter of the fifth room. Someone with bad intentions secretly gave Ling Jingshu the title of the most beautiful woman in Dingzhou.
Ling Jingxian and Ling Jingshu are similar in age and are often compared. The most common one I hear is: "The eighth lady of your house was born with beautiful appearance, intelligence and beauty, but the ninth lady is even better..."
"I heard that Miss Ninth is good at growing peonies. Most of the famous peonies in the Ling Family Peony Garden were grown by Miss Ninth..."
"I wonder which son is lucky enough to marry Miss Ling Jiu..."
Ling Jingshu! Ling Jingshu! It’s always Ling Jingshu!
As long as Ling Jingshu is around, Ling Jingxian becomes an inconspicuous green leaf. She was jealous and unwilling to give up, but there was nothing she could do about it. I work hard on weekdays, always thinking of finding opportunities to overpower Ling Jingshu.
This time when the Lu family came to visit, she fell in love with Lu Hong at first sight and secretly vowed not to marry him unless he was Lu Hong. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew very well that once Ling Jingshu showed up, Lu Hong's attention would be attracted to Ling Jingshu... After thinking about it, she finally came up with this method.
She needs to express her feelings first!
Ling Jingshu knew her intentions, so she naturally wanted to distance herself from Lu Hong.
... ...
Sure enough.
Ling Jingshu was not angry but smiled: "It's ridiculous for cousin Xian to say these things. I have been staying in Qiushui Pavilion these days and have never seen that cousin of the Lu family. Where does the word 'rob' come from? Come? Besides, it’s your business who you like and want to marry, and it has nothing to do with me. It’s really ridiculous if you come to me just for these reasons.”
Every sentence is sharp and merciless.
Ling Jingxian was choked and speechless.
This cousin has always been gentle and gentle, and would occasionally suffer without saying a word, so she came here shamelessly and made such an unreasonable request... Unexpectedly, Ling Jingshu reacted so hard and coldly.
Ling Jingshu said coldly: "If Cousin Xian has nothing else to do, please do it yourself!" She opened her mouth to chase people away without politeness.
Ling Jingxian didn't care about her face anymore. She took Ling Jingshu's hand and begged softly: "It was my fault just now. I said something inappropriate and made you unhappy. I'm here to help you, so don't be angry, okay? ?”
"However, I didn't lie to you just now. Every word I said came from my heart. We have been two sisters for so many years, and I have never asked you for anything. Just promise me this time! As long as you stay away from Cousin Hong, If you ignore him, even if you help me..."
Self-talk, self-righteousness.
Why did she think she would agree to such a selfish request
Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips sarcastically, and was about to refuse without mercy when an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
In this life, she never wants to have anything to do with Lu Hong! In this case, why not lend a helping hand to Ling Jingxian
No, this is inappropriate!
Even though the relationship between the two is not harmonious, they are still cousins after all, and there is no deep hatred between them. She knew clearly that the Lu family was a pit of fire, but she couldn't bear to just sit back and watch Ling Jingxian jump in...
After just this moment of hesitation, Ling Jingxian seized the opportunity.
Ling Jingxian's eyes shone with joy and relief, and she held Ling Jingshu's hand tightly: "Cousin Shu, if you don't speak, I will take it as your promise."
Ling Jingshu frowned: "When will I agree..."
"If I get my wish in the future, I will never forget your kindness today." Ling Jingxian ignored Ling Jingshu's words and said quickly: "I have been here for so long, it's time to go back. Cousin Shu, have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow morning, and You go together to pay your respects to grandma."
After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry.
Ling Jingshu: "..."
After Ling Jingxian left, Bai Yu quickly walked in. When he saw Ling Jingshu's unhappy expression, Bai Yu immediately asked with concern: "What did Miss Eight tell you?"
Ling Jingshu couldn't help but snorted: "I don't know what to say, I'm too lazy to pay attention to her!"
Bai Yu was confused when he heard this.
Ling Jingshu explained it in simple words: "Cousin Xian fell in love with cousin Lu at first sight, and she came here to beg me specifically today to stay away from cousin Lu in the future."
Bai Yu: "..."
An angry look appeared on Bai Yu's pretty face: "How can Miss Eight say that? It's really too much."
There is no such truth in the world.
Not to mention that the young lady has not yet met the young master of the Lu family, so nothing can be discussed. Even if they met, the young master of the Lu family fell in love with his young lady, would he give it up to the eighth young lady? In other words, shouldn't the young lady be blamed for this
Ling Jingshu was a little angry at first, but when she looked at Bai Yu who was angry for her, her anger quickly dissipated: "That's all, some trivial things are really not worth being angry about."
After a pause, he said calmly: "Actually, even if she didn't say anything, I would stay far away from that Young Master Lu."
I just hope that in this life and this life, we will always be strangers.
Ling Jingshu lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.
... ...
In the early morning of the next day, Ling Jingxian came indeed early.
As soon as they met, they affectionately called Shu cousin, and then took the initiative to choose clothes and jewelry for Ling Jingshu.
"Cousin Shu, come and try on this lotus-colored dress. And this set of red gold and ruby head jewelry." Ling Jingxian smiled brightly and was very enthusiastic.
Bai Yu looked on, feeling really sulky.
This lotus root color is a bit dark and not bright enough. When we were choosing fabrics that day, some ladies in the mansion had leftovers. The young lady was so good-natured that she took it back without hesitation and made it into a dress, which she never wore.
There is also the set of red gold headgear with rubies, which was given to me by Mrs. Ling during the Chinese New Year. Although the workmanship is exquisite, it also looks a bit old-fashioned.
Ling Jingxian chose these things without any good intentions at all.
Bai Yu coughed and opened her mouth politely and said: "Miss Eighth, it's better to choose another one..."
"Cousin Xian certainly has good taste." Ling Jingshu interrupted Bai Yu with a smile: "Just wear this. Bai Yu, come and help me dress and make up."
Bai Yu responded helplessly, gritting his teeth secretly in his heart. When she took the dress from Ling Jingxian's hands, she couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Miss Eighth really has good taste. The way our lady is dressed today, I think she will definitely leave a 'deep' impression on everyone."
Bai Yu deliberately bit the word "profound" very hard.
No matter how careful Ling Jingxian was, she still hadn't practiced to the point of being thick-faced and dark-hearted, so she suddenly became embarrassed.
Ling Jingshu winked at Bai Yu calmly.
Bai Yu had no choice but to shut up and quickly helped Ling Jingshu change her clothes and make up.
When the freshly dressed Ling Jingshu appeared in front of her, Ling Jingxian opened her eyes wide in surprise.
The unflattering lotus color looked surprisingly good on Ling Jingshu. The fair and jade-like cheeks are highlighted with a faint pink color. Ruyun's hair was pulled into a beautiful bun, and a set of red gold and ruby-set head and face jewelry were neatly worn, showing that she was far more dignified and composed than a girl of the same age.
Although it is not as stunning as before, it is more and more eye-catching and makes people unable to take their eyes away...
She obviously deliberately chose dull-colored dresses and old-fashioned jewelry, but Ling Jingshu still looked stunning in what she wore.
Ling Jingxian was filled with jealousy and hatred, and her eyes nearly popped out.
Bai Yu looked at Ling Jingxian's somewhat twisted pretty face, and her mood, which had been depressed for a long time, suddenly calmed down. He deliberately smiled and asked: "Miss Eight, please take a good look at it. Our lady is dressed like this, so she won't be rude in front of distinguished guests!"
Ling Jingxian forced a smile: "My cousin Shu is very beautiful and well-dressed. How could she be rude?"
Bai Yu pretended to be relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It's not in vain that Miss Eight took the trouble to choose clothes and jewelry."
Ling Jingxian: "..."
Bai Yu was so protective of his shortcomings, which made Ling Jingshu feel both heartwarming and funny. Pamperedly, Bai Yu let Ling Jingxian ridicule him a few words, then smiled lightly and said: "It's getting late, we should go to Yonghe Hall."
Ling Jingxian's interest had been mostly dispelled when she came, and she responded with a depressed expression.
... ...
The two sisters held hands and soon arrived at Yonghe Hall.
At this time, there were already many people in the inner hall of Yonghe Hall.
Mrs. Ling was still sitting at the top. However, the people sitting next to Mrs. Ling today are not her son and daughter-in-law, but her daughter Ling who has returned from a long journey.
Mrs. Ling is twenty-eight years old this year. She is well-fed and well-maintained. She looks younger than her actual age and has a rosy complexion. Her appearance is not particularly beautiful, but her features have the charming charm of a mature woman.
The slightly raised eyebrows and the occasional sparkle in her eyes were exactly the same as Mrs. Ling's.
But the cruel and ruthless methods are beyond the reach of Mrs. Ling.
For the sake of his own status, he did not hesitate to push his biological niece into a pit of fire and use the life of her child to blackmail her into submission. A few years later, he personally strangled her to death with a three-foot-long white silk...
"This is Sister Shu, the daughter of Fifth Brother!" Ling smiled kindly and her eyes were very kind: "Come here quickly and let Aunt take a good look at her." (To be continued)
