After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 221 Longevity Lock
"So what?" Lin Shuning glanced at him. She knew that he was actually a bad person at heart. But she just groaned and heard Jiang Yu laugh softly. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms again. He kissed her temple and said, "Yes, so what? You are my law."
Flowers fall like snow in the fields, the night wind blows the strings, and the moonlight rises and falls like water in the distant Milky Way. At this moment, the moonlight is full and bright, illuminating people for eternity.
After a long time, there were whispering sounds coming from the top of the snowless mountain.
“It’s so beautiful… I don’t know how long I can watch it.”
"I know."
"Ok?"
"lifetime."
……
The next morning.
In the courtyard, the long corridor was covered with snow, and servants and maids were coming and going, sweeping the floor.
Lin Shuning stood under the eaves, her long hair tied up with a silver hairpin, a light pink velvet cloak draped over her shoulders, a lilac-colored skirt, a gleaming silver chain in her hair, and she stood facing the sunlight, her face raised up, cool and gentle, she was thinking about something as if no one was around, her eyes were as bright as snow, and her beauty seemed to make time stand still.
Lian'er was waiting behind Lin Shuning, looking up at her, a look of deep surprise flashing in her eyes.
Ever since she woke up this morning, she felt that there was something different about her young lady.
It was as if a knot in her heart had been untied, and her whole body was light and radiant, so beautiful that it seemed not to be from this world. When people looked at her, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but smile.
During this period of time, Lin Shuning had been indecisive about the relationship between herself and Jiang Yu, and was caught in a dilemma. Last night, she finally made up her mind. She no longer had any worries, and she naturally felt refreshed.
Even when thinking about Wang's affairs at this moment, he felt his mind was clear.
There was only one reason why Wang was so sure that she would not discover the truth about her life experience and was not afraid of the truth being exposed.
That is to kill Ma Ma and Liu Yue who knew the truth.
Because only the dead can keep secrets forever.
Of course, the same goes for the living dead.
But what puzzled Lin Shuning was that Liu Yue had told her in person that the people who were sent to deal with them did not try to kill her, otherwise she would not have been alive until now.
Suddenly, the scene of Wang Shi showing fear after seeing Song Rao on Yuanchong Mountain, abandoning her plan to deal with her and running away, and hiding in her room after returning home and not going out jumped into her mind. All the fragments that had been scattered deep in her heart suddenly spread out at this moment.
Just when she seemed to have figured something out and her eyes lit up, there was a sudden knock on the gate.
Lian'er walked over quickly, smiled slightly when she saw the person coming, then turned to look at Lin Shuning and said, "Miss, Miss Liu Yue is here."
"Let her in quickly." Lin Shuning was delighted. She just happened to have something she wanted to ask Liu Yue in detail.
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Liu Yue walked up the stairs holding up her skirt. She was only wearing a plain shirt and a goose yellow cape today. She had taken off her heavy makeup, and she looked fresh and elegant.
She bowed gracefully and said, "Greetings, Third Miss."
Lin Shuning quickly stepped forward to help her: "You came at the right time, I want to confirm something with you."
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, Third Miss. Why don't you listen to what I have to say first?"
Lin Shuning met her bright gaze, collected his thoughts, reached out to brush off the falling snow for her, and raised his eyebrows to signal her to continue.
Liu Yue said, "I have been in the clinic for a while now, and when I have nothing to do, I always think back to the past. Originally, there is nothing special about this kind of recollection. I would occasionally think about it when I was in Zuishenglou before. But this time, it really made me think of something extraordinary."
She paused, took a deep breath and said, "This morning, I saw a mother chasing her child away. Although I don't know why, I could tell from her voice that she was being fierce and harsh. The child was so scolded that he burst into tears and went to look for his father.
I thought the father would blame the mother for being too cruel, but from the look in their eyes, I could tell that the mother had no choice but to do so. The father nodded to the mother, and the two of them parted with red eyes. The mother said three words as she watched them leave.
Liu Yue looked at Lin Shuning, and a faint crystal light suddenly appeared in her bright eyes: "I'm sorry."
She said, "It was this 'I'm sorry' that reminded me of when my mother grabbed me and asked me to block the knife for her, she also said sorry several times. At that time, I thought she was begging for mercy from that group of people, but now that I think about it, she must have said it to me..."
Her clear voice trembled slightly, but in an instant she suppressed the sourness in her heart and took out an object wrapped in a brocade handkerchief from her arms.
"For this reason, I carefully recalled what she said and did to me before the group came, and then I found this in the lining of a coat."
Liu Yue carefully opened the brocade handkerchief in her hand, revealing a small and exquisite longevity lock made entirely of gold.
"That dress was something she said she had made for me that day, and she asked me to take good care of it and not lose it. Although I took it away, I felt resentful and never touched it again after that day. I never expected that there was a mystery inside it.
Since I was a child, my family was one of the poorest families in the village, so this longevity lock could never belong to our family. Besides, I was old enough to remember things at that time. Even if she got money from Wang, there was no need to buy this thing. This longevity lock was hidden in my clothes, and she also repeatedly told me to keep it well..."
Liu Yue stopped talking, but Lin Shuning already understood what she meant. She quickly reached out to take the longevity lock, placed it in her palm and examined it carefully. When she saw the words engraved on it clearly, she trembled.
Those fragmented pieces were finally closely connected and intertwined together - under the longevity lock, there was a clear word engraved.
cloud.
She got it.
Everything is clear.
She raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, I understand. In fact, your mother...she regretted it."
Liu Yue was stunned: "What?"
Lin Shuning held her hand and said, "I don't know what she was like in the past, but at least she regretted it when she started making that new dress for you. She pretended to use you as a shield, but in fact, on the one hand, she had already hidden something that could be used to deal with Wang on you, and on the other hand, she wanted to use this shield to make you hate her and stay away from her. Only in this way could she save your life."
"And the reason why those assassins didn't kill you must be because she promised them some benefits, which made them think that you, a little kid, couldn't cause any big trouble. She became a living dead again, earning two times the money for one job, so why not? That's why you 'escaped' and were saved by Yu Niang, and all the subsequent stories."
Liu Yue opened her eyes wide and took two steps back in disbelief. The crystal clearness that she had suppressed surged up again.
After a while, she bit her lip and said, "Miss San, I...I want to go back and see her these days. I know that what you said may be right, but...I still want..."
Lin Shuning nodded: "Go ahead, just go, don't worry about the clinic. Lian'er, give Miss Liu Yue some money for the journey."
"No need," Liu Yue quickly waved her hand to refuse, "Miss Third, I have the money. I just wanted to give you this longevity lock today, but I didn't expect... Now that the lock has been delivered, I will take my leave first."
Lin Shuning nodded and asked Lian'er to take her away. Before leaving, Liu Yue looked back at Lin Shuning, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Miss San, I'm sorry, and thank you."
Lin Shuning's heart moved, he smiled brightly and waved at her.
After Liu Yue left, the yard returned to silence again.
Lin Shuning's emotions were churning.
