Luoyang Brocade Chapter 21: Confession

The sudden question caught Lu Hong off guard and made him blush instantly.

Knowing that Ling Xiao could not see, Lu Hong still moved his eyes away with a guilty conscience and coughed unnaturally: "Cousin Xiao, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Ling Xiao has keen ears and follows the voice to look at Lu Hong: "I ask this for my own reasons. Cousin Hong only needs to answer me. Do you like Ah Shu?"

Like it!

Of course I do!

He fell in love with her at first sight, and he was fascinated by her and tossed and turned. I work hard every day just to see her one more time. Occasionally, if you say a word or two, your heart will be full of joy and you will be in a good mood all day long.

Ling Xiao waited patiently, and after a while, Lu Hong gathered up the courage and nodded. Thinking that Ling Xiao couldn't see, he hummed again.

Ling Xiao was not surprised either.

His eyes are invisible, but he still has keen hearing. Every time he mentioned Ah Shu, there would be uncontrollable excitement in Lu Hong's voice. When they met, Lu Hong was happy no matter how cold Ah Shu was.

What else could it be but love?

"It's my grandmother's birthday today, and there are many guests in the house. Ah Shu wants to greet the guests. Now when I go to the garden, even if I see her, I don't have a chance to talk." Ling Xiao lowered his voice and laughed: "After the luncheon, The troupe started singing, and I quietly asked Ah Shu to come to Qiushui Pavilion. Don't disturb others and come here alone. If you have any questions, just tell Ah Shu!"

Lu Hong was both surprised and happy: "Is everything you said true? Cousin Xiao, you didn't lie to me, did you?" He had always wanted to find a chance to talk to her in private, but unfortunately there was no good opportunity. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao would take the initiative to mention this matter today.

This is simply a blessing from heaven.

Ling Xiao nodded with a smile.

Lu Hong grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and said incoherently excitedly: "Cousin Xiao, thank you. You are so good to me."

Ling Xiao grinned, but secretly thought in his heart. I'm not doing this just for you.

A Shu has been thinking a lot lately, and she doesn’t know if it’s because of Lu Hong. Instead of dragging it on in such ambiguity, it would be better for the two of them to speak clearly face to face. If Ah Shu is also interested in Lu Hong, everyone will be happy.

If Luo Hua were to be ruthless... it would also make Lu Hong give up early.

......

A high stage was set up in the Ling Mansion, and the most famous theater troupe in Dingzhou City was specially invited.

There are many tables and chairs placed beside the stage. The male guests and the female family members sat on each side, chatting and laughing in low voices while watching the show, which was quite lively.

Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan sat together, whispered something unknown, and smiled at each other.

"Cousin Shu is really amazing. In just a few days, we have become so familiar with cousin Yan." Ling Jingxian couldn't hide the sourness in her words: "People who don't know have met, and pointed out Maybe I thought the two of them were biological sisters!"

She and Ling Jingyan had some unpleasant troubles at first. Even if she wanted to get closer, she couldn't let go of it for a while. Watching Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan's close friendship, I felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Ling Jingwan smiled: "It's rare for cousin Yan to go back to Dingzhou to live for a while, and I guess she should return to the capital soon. No matter how close cousin Shu is to her, there is no way she will go to the capital with her. What do you have to worry about? ”

That makes sense.

Ling Jingxian's mood suddenly calmed down a lot, she picked up the cake and put it in her mouth, and started watching the show.

Staying in the inner house all day, there are very few opportunities to go out to visit guests. The only ones who come and go every day are those faces, and all they do is read, embroider, play the piano, and paint. The opera troupe was singing today, and everyone was watching with great interest.

On the stage at this moment, a fair and handsome warrior stood with his head held high, holding a long sword, looking majestic. Another clown in funny clothes was running and doing somersaults, attracting bursts of cheers and cheers.

Ling Jingshu likes to be quiet by nature and has little interest in listening to plays. She chats with Ling Jingyan here and there.

The maid Jingyu walked over quietly and whispered: "Miss Jiu, the young master doesn't like the drama and doesn't want to stay here. I want you to accompany him back to Qiushui Pavilion!"

Ling Jingshu had no doubt that he was there and immediately agreed with a smile.

......

Ling Jingshu stepped into Qiushui Pavilion with a smile on her face and called out: "Axiao."

Ling Xiao disappeared, but an unexpectedly handsome face came into view, with a smile on his face and eyes, as warm as the spring breeze: "Cousin Shu."

It’s Lu Hong!

Ling Jingshu's smile suddenly disappeared, and her voice became colder: "Why are you here? Where is Ah Xiao?" Could it be that he followed Ling Xiao?

Lu Hong hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "It was cousin Xiao who asked me to come here to wait for you."

Ling Jingshu: "..."

What is Ling Xiao doing? !

Ling Jingshu frowned, and a not-so-good guess passed through her mind: "Why did Ah Xiao want you to come to see me?"

Her disgust and indifference were like a bucket of cold water pouring down on him, extinguishing most of Lu Hong's joy and excitement. The smile on his face also stiffened slightly: "Cousin Xiao also has good intentions and wants us to have a chance to be alone for a while and talk for a while..."

"No need!"

Ling Jingshu said coldly: "There are differences between men and women, and you have to avoid suspicion. Besides, we are not familiar with each other at all, so I don't think there is anything to say. You can leave first!"

Lu Hong couldn't laugh anymore, and the words deep in his heart burst out: "Cousin Shu, what did I do wrong? Why do you hate me so much? You never treat me with false words?"

Why?

Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips, without any smile in her eyes, and ordered without looking back: "Bai Yu, go and guard the door and don't let anyone in."

Today there was an opera troupe singing in the mansion, and all the maids and women went to join in the fun. There is no one in Qiushui Pavilion now. Bai Yu carefully closed the door and stood guard outside the courtyard.

Lu Hong stood under the verandah, and Ling Jingshu stood in the yard. The two faced each other at a distance of about three meters.

The long-awaited solitude suddenly became a reality. But Lu Hong's heart sank unsteadily.

Ling Jingshu, who had never looked directly at him, finally raised her beautiful, bright and clear eyes today and stared straight at him: "Lu Hong, I will tell you the answer to the question you asked me just now."

Lu Hong wanted to say something, but he held it back.

"You did nothing wrong." Because you haven't had time yet.

"I can guess a thing or two about your feelings for me. However, I don't have any feelings for you. Therefore, I don't want you to have the slightest misunderstanding."

In this life, I will never make the same mistakes again, and I will never be moved by your tenderness and affection again.

Ling Jingshu's tone was very calm, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him lacked the usual disgust, just like looking at an unrelated stranger.

This kind of calmness is even more hurtful than the previous indifference and disgust.

Lu Hongjun's face turned slightly pale, and he forced himself to calm down: "Cousin Shu, we have only been together for a short time, and you are not familiar with my character and temperament. It is reasonable to be wary of me."

"Like you siblings, I lost my mother when I was young. I know what it's like to not have a biological mother. I have studied hard since I was a child, hoping to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible and become a distinguished person. Before I met you, I never paid attention to it. Girls of the same age never thought about life-long events. But that day when I met you in the garden, I fell in love with you at first sight. These days, I try my best to get close to cousin Xiao, just to take the opportunity to see you more times. . Cousin Xiao saw my thoughts and specially created opportunities for me to be alone with you and express my feelings."

"I have already thought about it. After today, I will mention our marriage to my father and mother. If God has mercy on me and I am lucky enough to marry you, I will definitely devote myself to you wholeheartedly in this life."

"If you don't believe it, I will swear an oath to God right now. Your Majesty, I, Lu Hong, love Ling Jingshu, and I will never waver in this life. If you violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a good death."

......

The young man with a handsome face poured out his heart affectionately.

This scene is enough to capture the hearts of all the girls in the boudoir!

In her previous life, she was intoxicated with such tenderness and affection, and easily gave away her heart. Trusting and relying on him wholeheartedly, and with full of longing for the future, she married into the Lu family... But who would have thought ~IndoMTL.com~ that he would change his heart in just a few years! He abandoned his wife and stayed in the capital, never returning to Dingzhou again.

It was all because of him that she fell into such a miserable situation!

Huge hatred and intense pain surged in my heart, and Ling Jingshu's voice became sharp and excited: "What you think is all your business and has nothing to do with me. I have no good impression of you, and I have never married you. Your thoughts. Once you have finished speaking, leave!"

All Lu Hong's expressions froze.

A sincere confession was met with an indifferent rejection. No one would be able to face it calmly. What's more, under Lu Hongsi's polite appearance, he has never lacked the sense of superiority of a child of aristocratic family and the pride of young success...

Lu Hong pursed his lips and suddenly strode over. He was only two steps away from Ling Jingshu before he stopped: "What's wrong with me? Why do you hate me so much? You don't even give a chance." Give it to me?"

He has a good background and a good father. He is the eldest son of the Lu family and will be the head of the Lu family in the future.

He was smart since he was a child, had a photographic memory, was extremely talented in reading, and gained the reputation of a scholar early on. The future is limitless.

He has a good appearance, good demeanor and temperament, and is a handsome boy praised by everyone.

With him like this, how could Ling Jingshu not like him at all?

Lu Hong could not suppress his surging emotions and suddenly reached out to hold her hand. As soon as he touched her fingers, he didn't even have time to hold her slender, soft hand into his palm...

Ling Jingshu's face suddenly turned pale, her whole body seemed to convulse, and she felt strong nausea and vomiting. She staggered back a step, and then vomited out with a loud sound.
