Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu's two wrists were held in his hands. She was forced to look up to meet his sidelong gaze and listen to him talk vaguely about "that kind of thing". Her forced toughness began to crumble.

"Ayu, you are a girl." Lin Ji spoke calmly.

When he saw the red marks on the snow-white skin in his palm, he thought of his brocade robe, which she had smashed with a box of rouge, and the plain color was stained with water red, and the indelible red marks looked like this.

"You also said that you did it of your own free will last night. Since you have touched me, you must be responsible for your choice."

He is not responsible for anyone, but Lin Yu himself is responsible for his own choice.

She stopped talking, and Lin Ji slowly put down her hand.

Who would have thought that she would suddenly ask: "Who said I chose it myself?"

"Didn't I choose A Yuan at that time?"

Speaking of Ming Yuan, Lin Ji's expression became complicated again.

He saw with his own eyes in the greenhouse that Lin Yu entangled the man, sat between his legs, and pressed him to the ground and kissed him.

That look was much more enthusiastic than the one he showed towards me.

Lin Yu jumped out of his words, "Yes, I went to find him at that time, but you took me back, so I had to choose you."

She exerted a little force and freed her wrist from the man's grasp.

"Where's A Yuan? Where did you take him?"

She looked into the courtyard and greenhouse when she passed by, but there was no one inside.

I just gave him a bell as a gift, but Lin Ji dragged me to go for a physical examination. I saw what happened in the greenhouse that night, and I don't know how he will pursue the matter.

"I forced him last night. He never thought of doing anything to me. He is a thousand times more obedient than you! Lin Ji, give him back to me."

From what she said, she had already determined that Lin Ji had captured the man to vent his anger.

The man closed his eyes and let out a breath.

Ask her: "According to you, I shouldn't have come last night, and should have let you lose your virginity to him in the flower room?"

After knowing Mingyuan's true identity, he stopped calling him a slave.

This question also stumped Lin Yu.

If Lin Ji hadn’t come yesterday, what would have happened to Ming Yuan and me?

"No," but after only a moment's hesitation, Lin Yu came up with the answer, "He will never hurt me. Once he finds out that I'm drugged, he will definitely push me away and send me back."

"Are you so sure?"

When seeing them off, Ming Yuan explained a few things, including that Lin Yu did not know his identity.

So Lin Ji could only be surprised that she trusted a man who was a house slave so wholeheartedly and even lowered herself to hang out with him.

"Ayu, what's so good about him?"

The man in front of her suddenly moved towards her. Lin Yu tried to retreat, but he grabbed her waist again.

"Hmm? Tell me so I can learn from him."

Lin Yu's ears were burning from the rubbing. "Why don't you send the man back and ask him yourself?"

Lin Ji couldn't ask anything, so he stood up and let go of her waist.

Tell her truthfully: "He won't be coming back."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yu raised his head suddenly, "What did you do to him?"

"He found his biological father and begged me to let him go to find his biological father."

The token and the age matched, and he also mentioned the Grand Tutor Shen in Changzhou. Lin Ji sent him to Changzhou by boat, and if everything went well, he would be able to return to the imperial capital soon.

But this prince had been missing for twelve years, his mother had passed away, and he had no foundation in the previous dynasty or the harem. It was not difficult for Lin Ji to guess what his situation would be after he returned.

He didn't want Lin Yu to wade into the muddy waters of the imperial capital. By comparison, it would be more appropriate for her to stay in Songjiang and marry him.

"He also told you not to worry about him, and not to ask where he went."

Lin Yu was stunned.

"I don't believe it," he added, "you must have locked him up. What did you do to him that you could tell me such a lie?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Lin Ji said: "The farewell letter is left in his room. You should recognize his handwriting."

I originally came to find him for marriage, but who knew it would get involved in something bigger.

Mingyuan really left without saying goodbye.

Standing in the small courtyard where she had personally taken care of the arrangement, the furnishings in the house were the same as before, the luggage had not been packed, but there was indeed a letter on the table.

He wrote: [Don’t worry, don’t wait for me, I will remember you]

The signature is Mingyuan, and there is a bell painted on the side.

Lin Yu turned the paper over and over, but couldn't find even a single word.

What kind of farewell letter is this?

He didn't say where he was going or when he would be back.

Oh, he said no need to wait for him.

So he's not coming back?

Lin Yu's mind was in a mess. She couldn't figure out what reason there was for him to leave her without saying a word.

Even if he finds his parents, would I hold him back and not let him go?

"You were lying to me, weren't you?" She turned around and found Lin Ji again, "You forced him to write a note like this, and you locked him up."

She more like muttered, "Why did you have to marry me?"

"Do you think I will definitely marry you if Mingyuan is gone?"

"No, it's none of his business."

She put down the paper and walked up to the man. "Send him back, Lin Ji. It's not your thing to abuse lynching."

Lin Ji said, "Don't you believe him?"

"Then do you think he would write this kind of words if I tortured him?"

Lin Yu knew that this was not right. Ming Yuan would not help him deceive himself, and Lin Ji was not the kind of person who would abuse his personal power.

But she couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

Lin Ji's voice rang in my ears again: "Ayu, he's gone."

Her body was turned around, and Lin Ji held her shoulders, leaning down slightly as he spoke, "I know you are in a state of confusion, and too many things happened at once."

"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly."

"Think about his affairs and our marriage one by one. I'm waiting for you."

Lin Yu pushed him away.

When she ran back into the greenhouse, she wiped away the tears that blurred her vision and saw a neat row of Epiphyllums on the shelf.

It's closed.

The flower buds drooped downward, showing signs of withering.

Lin Yu felt both uncomfortable and sober, and soon realized that his decision to leave did not seem to be a spur-of-the-moment decision.

He was acting strangely on the way back from Yunwu Mountain. When asked, he refused to say anything and just asked himself to come to the greenhouse the next day.

So, he was really ready to leave and didn't intend to tell me anything.

Lin Yu felt a little dizzy. He suddenly felt that it was hot and stuffy in here and his steps became unsteady.

"girl!"

When he opened his eyes, it was Qingdai who supported him.

I don't know when she followed me, and her face showed worry without hiding it.

Two more tears flowed down her face, and Lin Yu leaned against her and said, "Let's go back."

For the next three days, she stayed in Yaoguang Courtyard.

The June snow beside the desk had withered long ago. Qingdai wanted to change it, but Lin Yu refused.

Ming Yuan's incident dealt a heavy blow to Lin Yu. She was depressed for several days and often stared at the flowerpot in a daze.

Qing Dai couldn't help but say, "This little mute is really something. The girl treated him sincerely and even ran around to find a witch doctor and medicine for him."

"He is... such an ungrateful person!"
