It was already approaching dusk when the carriage stopped.
Sheng Ling and Sheng Bian Mo randomly found an inn and stayed at it. During dinner, Sheng Ling couldn't help but mention it while drinking tea: "Brother, the scenery in the north is pretty good."
Sheng Bianmo nodded and said, "The local officials manage things quite well."
"I heard that the neighboring city is Xuecheng. The scenery there is also very good. A lot of people go there every year to enjoy the scenery. Brother, why don't we set off there early tomorrow morning?" Sheng Ling took the opportunity to suggest.
Shengbian Mo didn't have much opinion after hearing this, or in other words, no matter where he went, nothing changed for him.
Therefore, when he heard Sheng Ling's words, he just said "yes" lightly.
At night, Sheng Ling originally wanted to chat with her brother for a while, so she knocked on his door, but didn't see him inside, so she went out to look for someone strangely.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Bianmo was sitting on the stone platform outside the inn. Through the moonlight, he saw his lonely back.
Sheng Ling stood not far away and stared blankly for a while before walking over.
When we got up to the stone platform, we could just about see the snow-capped mountains on the other side of Xuecheng. It was a bit far away, but the moonlight fell on the snow-capped mountains and it looked beautiful.
"Brother, can't you sleep?" Sheng Ling asked and walked to him, only to find that there were several opened wine jars at Sheng Bian Mo's feet...
In other words, Sheng Bianmo has been sitting here drinking for a while.
Sheng Ling was stunned for a moment when she heard Sheng Bian Mo say a faint "Hmm" smelling of alcohol, "Come out and sit for a while."
"Didn't you promise your mother that you won't drink like this anymore?" Sheng Ling's nose was sour because her brother was clearly a sunny and kind-hearted person in the past. He was gentle and polite no matter who he treated, but now My brother became very depressed and unhappy...
It seems that no matter what kind of things he does, there is no difference to him...
He was unhappy, he was unhappy all the time...
Even if he pretends like nothing is wrong.
Hearing what she said, Sheng Bian Mo pulled his lower lip helplessly and said, "How about Ling'er keep the secret for me? I just ran out to have a few sips because I couldn't bear it anymore."
"How many mouthfuls is this?" Shengling asked with a frown.
Sheng Bianmo smiled helplessly: "How many altars are there."
"Brother, drinking too much is not good." Sheng Ling calmly advised him.
"Brother knows." Sheng Bianmo narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
Seeing that he still had the jar of wine in his hand and showed no intention of taking it away, Sheng Ling frowned and said, "Then don't drink it, okay?"
She originally thought that her brother's trip out to relax would be much better than staying in the East Palace before.
But he didn't expect that Shengbian Mo would not be well from the beginning to the end.
He couldn't let it go.
Also... That is the first and only person that my brother cares about most. How could he let go of him just as he said...
But how could that person be so cruel as to betray such a good brother like her...
The more Sheng Ling thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her brother.
After hearing her words, Shengbian Mo was silent for a moment, but finally slowly put down the wine jar in his hand and softly said "Okay".
Sheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the stone next to him.
"Ling'er, don't think too much. I just want to drink because I'm addicted to alcohol, nothing else."
Sheng Ling lowered his head and said "Oh", but in his heart he felt that his brother clearly didn't have three hundred taels of silver here...
