After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Cui Ling remembered that he was also a man who was slept with by a woman. His eyes moved slightly, and his murderous aura was reduced. He sat quietly behind the gauze, examining her through the hazy gauze.

The darkness made people's vision blurry. What he could see was limited, but he could easily smell the scent of sandalwood.

This smell was exactly the same one that had been lingering around his nose that night, so much so that as soon as he smelled it, he thought of how a woman had raped him, and for a moment he felt extremely gloomy.

"Do you think I will believe you?" he asked coldly.

Liang Tan said helplessly: "If you don't believe it, you can start from Gu Qingfeng."

She said this so frankly that it didn't sound like she was lying.

Unfortunately, Cui Ling was not someone who could be easily fooled. After a long silence, he said calmly, "This is indeed a shameful thing. If you were not protecting someone, you would not have said it out loud."

Liang Tan: "..." Isn't this what you want to ask? !

"Too many coincidences mean it's not a coincidence. Since you're willing to tell this secret for that woman, I think she's very important to you," Cui Ling said sinisterly. "Liang Tan, if you don't hand her over within ten days, I'll have no choice but to slaughter everyone in your house. I'd rather kill someone by mistake than let her go."

"I really don't know her..." Before Liang Tan could finish his words, Cui Ling had already left in a wheelchair.

Cui Ling came and left, and the whole process took no more than a quarter of an hour. Liang Tan sat on the bed in a daze, as if in a dream, until Deng Zhi came in hurriedly, and he came to his senses a little.

"Miss, why did General Cui leave your room?" Dengzhi was shocked while holding a lamp.

Liang Tan: "...Very good, I also want to know how he got out."

"You wouldn't..."

"No, he didn't find out my identity." Liang Tan closed his eyes tiredly.

Dengzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. Then... why did he come?"

"Because of me." Liang Tan sighed and fell straight on the bed.

Dengzhi wanted to ask more questions when he saw that she looked unhappy, but he gave up and stayed by her side silently until she fell asleep again.

Because of what happened at night, Liang Tan woke up early the next morning. The moment he opened his eyes, he still had a hopeful mentality, thinking that everything that happened last night was just a dream. However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Deng Zhi sleeping soundly on the side of the bed, and his hope collapsed in an instant.

"Miss, you're awake." Dengzhi said vaguely, "You were hysterical last night, but were you scared by General Cui?"

"Am I hysterical?" Liang Tan was surprised. "I didn't know that."

"It's sent. He kept mumbling that he didn't know the person, but he refused to tell us what exactly he didn't know. Are you okay, miss?" Dengzhi looked worried.

Liang Tan laughed and said, "It seems that my mouth is still tight in my dream."

After saying this, she suddenly stopped laughing when she thought of someone who caused her to have hysterics.

"Miss?" Dengzhi asked tentatively.

Liang Tan cleared his throat and said, "Please change my clothes for me. I need to go to the General's Mansion."

"Are you going again?" Dengzhi, who usually urged her to go out more often, hesitated this time. "He came quietly last night and gave you nightmares all night. Why are you still going to look for him?"

Liang Tan clicked his tongue and said, "Not only should we take the initiative to look for him today, but we should also look for him tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." He only gave him ten days. There was no way he could hand the person over to him. He could only see if he could become familiar to him within these ten days, so as to ask for his mercy after ten days.

Dengzhi didn't understand why she wanted to see Cui Ling, but he intuitively felt that she was in trouble, so he didn't ask any more questions and quietly helped her change her clothes.

Half an hour later, Liang Tan packed up everything, took the cakes he had prepared in the house and went out.

Although she and Cui Ling were neighbors, both houses occupied too much land. She had to walk from her main courtyard to her own front door, and then from her own front door to Cui Ling's front door. It took her quite a while just to walk.

In order to prevent other people from being implicated, Liang Tan walked out alone carrying the cakes. However, she ran into Gu Qingfeng's daughter Liang You as soon as she walked out of the house. The other party's eyes turned red as soon as she saw her, and it was obvious that she was coming for her.

This girl took after her father and had a bad character since childhood. Although she was not vicious, she had done a lot of bad things. In the original text, she not only colluded with her father to harm the original owner of her identity, but later she wanted to marry Cui Ling. After being rejected, she felt humiliated and hated this man. After Cui Ling was dismissed from his official position, she often brought people to humiliate him.

In short, it's a scourge.

Liang You walked towards her, and when he was almost in front of her, his feet suddenly went weak. Liang Tan calmly dodged, and Liang You was caught off guard and nearly fell to the ground. He did three rowing movements in the air before he managed to steady himself.

Liang Tan didn't expect that the ancients also used their hands to balance themselves. He almost laughed out loud for a moment, but when he saw Liang You's aggrieved look, he immediately calmed down: "Men and women should not touch each other. I don't help you for your own good."

"...Thank you, Miss." Liang You sobbed.

The cakes in Liang Tan's lunch box were freshly made and were still hot. She was in a hurry to deliver them to Cui Ling, and even spoke faster: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Miss!" Liang You cried out in pain.

Liang Tan had no choice but to stop and said with a frown: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."

Liang You didn't expect her to be so cold. After shrinking for a moment, she whispered, "You'er, You'er wants to ask Miss to give our family a way out. My father is old and really can't leave his hometown..."

"Is it your father who can't leave his hometown, or is it you who can't let go of the reputation of the Gu family in Kuangzhou City?" Liang Tan interrupted calmly.

Liang You was stunned: "I..."

"You know better than me what you have done. If you succeed, I'm afraid that my little fortune will be confiscated by you and your daughter," Liang Tan said sternly. "Now I just want you to move out of Kuangzhou City and stop getting in my way. Do you feel wronged?"

"But, but..." Liang You couldn't figure out the reason, so he gritted his teeth and finally told the purpose of this trip, "I know we did something wrong, but it was all because of Miss Youer Xinyue!"

Liang You finished speaking and began to shed tears again. "I love you, Miss, but I don't even care about propriety and honor. Will you blame me? I know I am not worthy of you and cannot be your legal wife, but as long as you nod, I am willing to enter your house as a concubine, as long as you don't drive me away..."

The position of wife cannot be given to anyone easily, but the status of concubine is different. No matter how high-ranking the concubines in the city are, they are still far inferior to her. With her beauty and family background, she didn't believe that Liang Tan would not be tempted.

However, Liang Tan was not moved. He just glanced at her calmly and said, "If you have the heart to say these things, you might as well pack your luggage and go back to tell your father that if you don't leave within three days, I will not be polite."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liang You felt as if he had been slapped in the face. He stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. He could no longer conceal the hatred in his heart. He watched her walk towards the general's mansion. Suddenly, he realized that there was no need for him to cling to Liang Tan alone.

Liang Tan didn't know what Liang You was planning, so after being informed, he entered the general's mansion. As soon as he entered, he walked towards the main courtyard as if he was familiar with the place. As expected, he saw Cui Ling sitting at the table.

"General, don't you feel bored staying in the yard drinking tea all day?" Liang Tan walked in with a smile.

Cui Ling gave her a cold look.

Liang Tan smiled unchanged: "I brought some food for the general."

After that, he placed the food boxes on the table and took out the food trays one by one. The plump white cakes were still steaming, and they looked so beautiful when placed together. Cui Ling's love for sweets was no secret in Beijing, and even less so in Liang Tan's place.

However, Cui Ling only glanced at it briefly and asked coldly: "Use it to poison me?"

Liang Tan was stunned and laughed: "If the general doesn't believe it, I will just try it."

After saying that, she took a piece of lotus leaf glutinous rice cake and took a bite in front of him. The glutinous rice cake was covered with a layer of soybean powder. Although she tried to be as careful as possible when biting it, a lot of it still got on her lips, but she didn't look sloppy, but instead exuded a sense of cuteness.

A grown man, but he exudes this kind of temperament. Cui Ling sneered: "The smell of powder."

"What did you say?" Liang Tan didn't hear clearly.

Cui Ling ignored her.

Liang Tan has gotten used to it. He would put the bitten glutinous rice cake back into the drawer and then take another bite.

Cui Ling's eyelids jumped: "What are you doing?"

"Testing poison." Liang Tan looked innocent.

The guard next to him almost laughed out loud, but when he saw Cui Ling's bad expression, he forced himself to hold back.

"Is this how you test poison?" Cui Ling frowned, "Liang Tan, you are deliberately trying to disgust me, aren't you?"

"I'm afraid that the general will think that my taste is not enough." Liang Tan smiled ingratiatingly, and his attitude was much more familiar than the previous times they met.

Cui Ling saw through her thoughts at a glance, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face: "No matter how hard you try to please me, if you don't hand over that woman in ten days, I will still kill you."

Liang Tan was not panicked when he was exposed, but just sighed helplessly: "General, this glutinous rice cake will become hard if you don't eat it now."

Cui Ling frowned.

"Don't tell me what my purpose is. Just take a bite of it because it's not easy for a cook." Liang Tan said. Seeing that he was unmoved, he continued to use his glib business talk. "You don't know that these cakes were made by an old woman who came from the Far North a few years ago."

That was the place where Cui Ling had guarded, and his expression moved slightly.

"Yes, it's the place you once guarded," Liang Tan confirmed his thoughts with a smile, "Her family, young and old, all died in the war. It was only after you went there that they found peace. She was very grateful to you. When she heard that I was going to bring you some cakes, she immediately made a bunch and begged me to bring them to you."

After that, she knelt on one knee beside Cui Ling's legs, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to him, "Please give me some thin noodles."

Cui Ling was a willful and arrogant person. After his leg was disabled, he became moody, but he was tolerant towards the elderly and the weak.

Sure enough, after Liang Tan finished speaking, he took it over expressionlessly and finished one in two or three moves: "It has the flavor of the Far North."

Liang Tan smiled and said, "As long as the general likes it, try this sesame cake. The old man said that there are very few sesame seeds in the far north, and only the rich can afford sesame cakes there."

Cui Ling's expression eased a lot. After taking two bites, he said, "Sesame is not a rare thing here."

"Indeed, the sesame seeds from Kuangzhou City are affordable for everyone." Liang Tan handed over another piece.

The two of them ate one and fed the other, and soon they finished four or five pieces. Liang Tan saw that Cui Ling had almost finished eating, so he repacked the rest and asked the guards to distribute it to everyone to taste.

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately looked at Cui Ling.

Liang Tan smiled and said, "These things must be eaten fresh. They won't taste good if you heat them up again. I'll send them to the general tomorrow."

"Since Miss Gu means well, let's divide it." Cui Ling was quite nice to his subordinates.

The guard agreed and called the others to the gate of the courtyard to share the food.

After these people left, the already quiet courtyard became even quieter. Liang Tan didn't feel awkward at all. He moved a chair and sat opposite Cui Ling. After pouring him a cup of tea, he smiled and talked about interesting things in the city.

Cui Ling sat there indifferently, not knowing how much he had listened. Liang Tan just kept talking, saying one thing after another. When he was thirsty, he even asked the person next to him to help him get a cup. He completely treated this place as his own home.

Cui Ling knew why she did this, and Liang Tan also knew that he knew it, so she didn't try to hide it, and just chatted with him openly until noon, when she drank the water in the cup. Then she asked with a lingering feeling: "It's noon now, and I don't think the general will keep me for dinner, so I'll take my leave now."

Cui Ling sneered, as if to say that she was quite sensible.

Liang Tan chuckled and turned to walk out, but halfway through he turned his head and looked at him: "General, I will come to accompany you after I have lunch and take a nap. Although the scenery in this courtyard is beautiful, it is too boring to see it alone all the time."

Cui Ling glanced at her with a gloomy expression.

Liang Tan was not intimidated by him and smiled at him generously. His handsome appearance did not look like a businessman, but rather like an elegant scholar.

In the afternoon, Liang Tan, who had eaten and rested enough, appeared again.

Perhaps it was because it was really lonely sitting quietly in the courtyard, or maybe it was because Liang Tan's story was too exciting, or maybe it was because he wanted to see how long her tricks could last, the always moody Cui Ling never drove her away.

For three or four days in a row, Liang Tan appeared and disappeared on time, just like he was at work. He had a perfect sense of propriety and unknowingly became a bright spot in the dull general's mansion.

No one knew whether Cui Ling liked her or not, but the guards and servants liked her very much. Every time they saw her coming, they would chat with her enthusiastically.

The Gu family's business is big, and Liang Tan spends most of his daytime time with Cui Ling, which means she has to deal with various business matters at night. As a result, she has slept less than two hours a day in the past few days. She says she goes back home for a nap at noon every day, but in fact, all her time is spent on business.

Liang Tan was about twenty years old in this world, young and strong, but after persisting for four or five days, he could no longer hold on.

One day, she came to the general's mansion again, but when she stepped into the main courtyard, she did not see Cui Ling.

"Miss Gu, please wait a moment. The general is still taking a lunch break." The guard reminded.

Liang Tan paused, then realized that he had arrived too early.

She handed the food box to the guard and said, "I asked someone to make some delicious soup today. You can keep a bowl of it warm in the pot for the general, and share the rest."

"Thank you, Miss Gu. Let's wait until the general has finished eating before dividing it." After the guard said this, he carried the food box to the kitchen.
