Marrying Gold and Jade

"you……"

Now is not the time to care, Lin Yu came to her senses, picked up her skirt and ran out immediately.

"I told you to come back!"

The man who was so concerned about his reputation suddenly turned into a mad beast and chased after him, panting heavily.

It is easy to make mistakes when people panic. Lin Yu tripped on the threshold, staggered, and felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

She heard footsteps in the distance.

It must be Cheng Kejia who brought people here.

Perhaps he had more confidence, or perhaps his determination was stronger after dying once, Lin Yu still ran out while dragging his injured leg.

But the sound of footsteps chasing behind her was getting closer and closer, as if she could be caught with just a stretch of the hand.

Her palms were sweating until she heard a voice from the front: "Catch him!"

Someone came, but it was not Cheng Kejia.

Just as Lin Yu relaxed, he was pushed hard from behind.

He inevitably fell to the ground, but when Tan Jinghe was about to pounce on him, a group of soldiers quickly rushed forward and subdued him.

He was forced to his knees, and this time not only his eyes but his entire face was red.

After struggling in vain, he vomited a mouthful of black blood and fainted.

Lin Yu fell to the ground. He still felt horrified when he saw the black blood, so he used his hands and feet to move away.

I originally guessed that he had been drugged, but what kind of medicine would make someone vomit black blood?

Lin Yu thought, maybe it was poison.

A maddening poison.

When she saw this group of officers and soldiers, she naturally thought that the person they had found was Lin Ji.

He changed into his usual plain brocade robe for the banquet today. When the corner of the robe fell beside his hand, Lin Yu lowered his head.

With his people dealing with Tan Jinghe, her life was safe; but she and Lin Ji hadn't spoken a word to each other for many days.

It was a bit noisy with people dragging around, but the two of them were the only ones sitting there in silence, so quiet that it was a little eerie.

"Tell Zhu Lian to help me."

After some mental struggle, she decided to speak up.

His mind couldn't help but recall that day in the corridor when Wan Ying was held in her arms. When he thought back to the previous touch with him, he felt extremely disgusted.

But the man seemed not to hear her. He squatted down beside her with his clothes trailing on the ground.

Lin Yu turned his head away to show his resistance.

When he finally reached out to her, she raised her arm suddenly.

Snapped--

The man's stern face tilted slightly, and soon a layer of red marks appeared again.

"I said, don't touch me."

Lin Yu had been thinking about this slap for a long time. He didn't care about the occasion at all. He used all his remaining strength and his palms felt numb.

The noise was quite loud, attracting several officers and soldiers nearby to look over in surprise.

Cao Shun quickly sent someone to say, "Don't mind your own business, take the man away!"

Everyone then understood and lowered their heads, continuing to clean up the scene, not daring to look over here.

Lin Yu thought that he was in pain and humiliated, and would eventually get his wish and leave her here.

However, she didn't expect that the man's expression didn't change. Without saying a word, he just picked her up and carried her sideways.

She kicked her legs twice unwillingly, not only did she feel a piercing pain in her ankle, but one of her embroidered shoes also fell off.

shameful.

She is a girl, and there are so many men around her. Losing her shoes is more embarrassing than being slapped.

It’s all Lin Ji’s fault for insisting on hugging her.

Lin Yu tried to curl up and hide the foot with the shoe missing under the hem of her skirt.

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Ji knew what she was thinking.

Holding her in his arms, he bent over to pick up the embroidered shoes, then called "Cao Shun" again. He then covered Lin Yu with a cloak that had been prepared long ago, covering her tightly.

“No one will see.”

This was the first sentence Lin Ji said today. The girl was in mixed feelings. She looked up in his arms, but only saw the slap mark on his face that was getting redder and redder.

She buried her face as if trying to cover her ears and steal a bell, and she didn't know what to say.

It was not until she was put back into her own carriage and the man came up holding up one of her shoes that her tears could no longer be stopped.

Lin Ji paused as he was about to touch her ankle. "Does it hurt?"

Lin Yu nodded, but quickly shook his head.

It was painful to sprain her ankle, but not painful enough to make her cry uncontrollably.

The slender knuckles then reached down, carefully lifted her ankle covered with silk stockings, and gently put on her embroidered shoes.

When Lin Yu saw this scene, her tears flowed even more violently.

Lin Ji then said, "There were no irrelevant people on the road just now. I have already greeted Miss Cheng for you."

Lin Yu still shook his head.

The man was puzzled: "Why are you crying?"

Lin Yu first wiped away her tears and took a few deep breaths. She finally calmed down a little, but her red eyes couldn't stop being wet.

"Why did you do this to me?"

She started crying but still insisted on speaking out her doubts: "You are very nice to me at one moment, but very cold to me at another. You knew that I don't like Wan Ying, but you insisted on getting so close to her."

"It's fine that you're close to her, but then you turn around and treat me well for no reason."

Before she could finish her words, she couldn't stop sobbing, "Lin Ji... I don't know how to face you."

She has always had a clear distinction between love and hate since she was young. She gets close to those she likes and stays away from those she doesn't like.

But when she wanted to get close to Lin Ji, Lin Ji was very cold; when she felt lost and wanted to distance herself from him, Lin Ji kept coming close to her.

She couldn't understand this man, and her emotions went up and down with his inconsistent actions, so she couldn't help feeling painful.

Even if I want to hate him, my hatred is not pure.

In response, Lin Ji remained silent again.

But the fear of being chased by Tan Jinghe just now came back to her, and Lin Yu leaned against the wall of the carriage and cried more and more fiercely.

"Give me a little more time."

Finally, Lin Ji spoke.

He said, "Ayu, wait for me a little longer."

Lin Yu's crying suddenly stopped, and all she could see was his solemn brows and a few glaring finger marks below.

……

"I found it, I found it!"

After hearing what the maid said, Cheng Kejia also breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to the women, "Lin Yu accidentally twisted her foot when she went out, and now she has been sent back to her own carriage."

The people who gathered around were skeptical.

Just when Cheng Kejia received her entrustment, a rumor suddenly began to spread in the inner courtyard, saying that a man and a woman were having a secret meeting in the side courtyard.

She couldn't leave for the moment, so she could only step forward to calm down the group of whispering women and privately ask someone to go look for them.

Fortunately, they met Lin Ji's people halfway through the search, and the two sides went their separate ways to look for it, and the rumor only spread for a quarter of an hour.

Wan Ying felt a little disappointed about this, but Ruan's face turned pale.

She knew that this matter was by no means that simple. Her daughter must have known that there was a trick, which was why she asked her to tell Cheng Kejia in advance.

But why would you risk your life for such a dangerous thing?

Lin Yu was sent back home.

She didn't ask Lin Ji any more questions in the carriage, but she realized later that something was strange.

Tan Jinghe was interested in her, but she had never told anyone about it.

Why did the designer choose him to frame him?

She didn't think it was a coincidence, but that she had overlooked too much.

For example, Wan Ying arrived three days late, wearing mourning clothes.

If today's plan was hers, then she knew about the entanglement between herself and Tan Jinghe.

To be more precise, it’s the entanglement from the previous life.
