The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 371 Separation

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

On September 11, the crackling sound of firecrackers broke the silence. Ji Ruochen, dressed in a red wedding dress, married Yu Ying.

Ye Ling and Jiu You left after watching the ceremony and did not attend the wedding banquet. They came to the grassy area by the waterfall in the back mountain to say their final goodbyes.

Ye Ling forced a smile so as not to make Jiuyou worry.

Jiuyou felt no better than Ye Ling, and kept reminding him, "After I leave, you must be obedient. Don't go down the mountain, eat on time, and don't drink."

"I know! Don't worry, I won't go down the mountain, because it's really boring to be alone," said Ye Ling.

"Well... you said we'd get married when I came back, does that count?"

"Of course, when you come back, let me choose a date and we'll get married right away."

"It's a deal, a liar is a puppy."

"No, it's Little Wolf who's lying."

The two smiled at each other, and Jiu You suddenly hugged Ye Ling: "Senior Sister, I don't want to go, I don't want to leave you, but I'm afraid I will regret it. What should I do?"

"Three months is very short. I'm waiting for you, but it's not a farewell forever. Remember, if you don't come back, you must bring a message to me."

"I won't fail to come back, I won't," Jiuyou promised over and over again.

Ye Ling took out a photo: "Take this with you, it's my portrait. Take it out and look at it when you miss me."

"Okay." Jiuyou put the photo to his heart.

Time passed quickly, and it was September 15th. Ji Ruochen saw Yu Zun and the others off. Ye Ling watched from afar. When the team left the mountain gate, she rode her horse to the highest point and stared at the team going farther and farther away. Tears blurred her vision without her knowing when.

"Who said it doesn't matter?" Mo Yufeng's voice came.

Ye Ling wiped away her tears stubbornly: "I said, isn't it just a man! If I lose him, I can just find another one."

Mo Yufeng looked distressed: "Don't worry, Senior Brother asked the Ghost Hall to send a team of people to follow secretly and escort him back. We will wait and escort him back. He is also my brother."

"I can't see it anymore, let's go back," Ye Ling said softly.

Jiuyou was also feeling uncomfortable at the moment. Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the photo of Ye Ling in his hand and couldn't help but shed tears.

Jiu Ming said from the side: "Brother, it's not like you won't be back, right? You're thinking about me right after I left?"

"You don't understand. Senior sister cried today, but no one comforted her. Even though she is a master, she loves crying the most. And every time she sheds tears, it's because of me. This time is no exception. I said that I would not let her be sad again, but I broke my promise again and again," Jiuyou said, staring at the photo.

Jiu Ming's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible trace of guilt: "It can be seen that she is really important to brother."

"For her, I can turn against anyone and kill anyone."

"Including me?"

"The premise is that you haven't done anything to let her down."

"What if it was your sister-in-law who did something wrong to you?"

"She won't."

"What if?"

"If something happens, it means I didn't do well enough, not her fault."

Jiu Ming laughed: "In your heart, she is irreplaceable."

"Yes." Jiuyou looked at Jiuming: "A woman who is willing to sacrifice her life for me, what do you think? In this life, I will never touch any other woman except her."

"But did you know that our two families are actually old enemies? They killed many members of the Nine Clans."

"Without General Ye, I would have been beheaded long ago. Where were my parents then? When I was little, it was General Ye who protected me and taught me martial arts and the principles of life. When I grew up, his daughter protected me again, so that I could face the prince. Is this the mortal enemy you speak of? How many of the Ye family's personal soldiers have been killed by the Nine Clans?"

"Brother is right. On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind."

After seeing Jiuyou off, Ji Ruochen, Yue Chi and Zhuo Wei were waiting at the suspension bridge of Xianren Peak.

Seeing Mo Yufeng and Ye Ling returning, the three of them looked at each other, and then Yue Chi said with a smile: "Junior Sister, you're back? The three of us want to go to Xianren Peak for lunch today, is that okay with you?"

"You and Senior Brother Zhuo can, but Senior Brother Ji can't. I can understand Miss Yu's feelings today. Senior Brother Ji, you should go and accompany her," Ye Ling said.

"Junior sister is right, you should go back quickly!" Mo Yufeng agreed.

"I...okay!" Ji Ruochen wanted to say that he would not go, but he didn't say it out loud.

So, four people returned to Xianren Peak, and Ji Ruochen returned to Feiniao Peak alone.

When the crying Yu Ying saw Ji Ruochen, she quickly wiped away her tears, stood up, and bowed slightly: "Husband."

"I've already told you that there's no need to be so polite between us in the future." Ji Ruochen still gave people a cold impression.

"Yes, my husband, are you not going to Tianzi Hall today?" Yu Yan obediently helped Ji Ruochen take off his cloak.

"Grandfather and brother are leaving today, so I'll stay home with you."

"Thank you, husband." Yu Yan finally smiled.

On the other side, a table of people was sitting in the dining hall of Immortal Peak. They included Mo Yufeng, Su Su, Ye Ling, Yue Chi, Zhuo Wei and Meng Jing. They were eating and chatting, and it was very lively. They all wanted to make Ye Ling not so sad.

Yue Chi asked, "I heard that Li Ye can stand up now?"

"Of course, it's very easy. It will be almost healed in about ten days," Meng Jing answered quickly.

"Then the dishes on today's table are not made in the kitchen, right?" Yue Chi asked with a smile.

"You guessed right, it was made by Qianqing Kitchen," said Meng Jing.

"You see, I felt it as soon as I ate it. I've eaten Qianqing's cooking a lot before, and it's really delicious," said Yue Chi.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and it seemed lively.

After lunch, Mo Yufeng returned to Ganlu Palace. Xuanyuan had been waiting for a long time. "Pavilion Master, according to your instructions, I sent Zhuo Feng and Zhuo Qian to lead the troops personally."

"What did you tell him?" Mo Yufeng asked.

"My subordinates told him to adapt to the situation and not care about the process, but only look at the results. Three months later, Jiuyou must return to Langya Pavilion. To achieve his goal, he can use any means, and if necessary, he can even break up with the Jiu family," Xuanyuan said.

"I only have this one sister. If she is unhappy, then no one will be happy." Mo Yufeng's seemingly casual words made people shudder.

"Yes, I understand."

"Everyone inside and outside the pavilion has left. You can come out and chat with my junior sister. I'm afraid I'll get bored."

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Xuanyuan was eager to come out to the front.

Five days later, on September 20th, Ye Ling accompanied Su Su to sunbathe, feeling that time was peaceful. She asked Meng Meng in her heart: Is the medicine you gave Jiuyou effective?

"Master, don't worry. Within a hundred days, no matter what kind of poison, drug or aphrodisiac it is, it will not be able to do anything to him," Meng Meng was very sure.

Ye Ling was relieved then: That's good, this is all I can do. Tell me, is the money I gave him enough for him to spend?

"Master, the money you gave me is more than Jiuyou can spend in more than ten years. There are several thousand tael silver notes!"

Ye Ling smiled: You don’t understand, a poor family can make a rich road, I don’t want him to have to look at other people’s faces because of money.

"Ah~" Su Su suddenly sighed: "Sister, are we just going to eat and wait for death? I suddenly feel that life is so boring. Men have their own things to do, but what about me? I just eat and sleep, sleep and eat. There is no value in living at all."

"Madam is right!" Qian Qing sighed. "Li has gone to take up his post at Renzi Hall. You haven't seen how happy and proud he is. I can only accompany Qiuju here to bask in the sun."

"Who says it isn't true? Mother is taking care of the young master, so I have a lot of free time!" Qiuju said.

"Jingjing went down the mountain, and suddenly I felt... there were fewer people," Su Su continued.

"Since she is going to marry Zhuo Sishi, she naturally has to go home and live there. Taozi has also left. Fortunately, Sister Qianqing is back, otherwise we would be so bored," said Qiuju.

"It would be great if I were a man. I could make money by myself and wouldn't be so bored," Qian Qing continued.

"Where are Wanqi and Eighth Sister?" Qiuju asked.

"Let's go play with Cai Duoer and the others. Children are happier than us." Qian Qing looked half dead.

"Ah~" Everyone sighed together.

Ye Ling suddenly sat up: "I can't be so depressed any longer."

Su Su quickly stood up: "Sister, if you have any fun that is not decadent, you must take me with you!"

Ye Ling looked at Su Su and raised an eyebrow: "Just wait, I'm just looking for a woman to do the job, you don't have to wait for me to come back for lunch."

Half an hour later, Ye Ling appeared in Tianzi Hall and slipped into Ji Ruochen's study in full view of everyone: "Senior Brother Ji? Are you busy?"

Ji Ruochen raised his head and waved with a smile: "Come in, Yuan Yuan, go get some snacks and fruit wine."

"Yes," replied Yuan.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ji." Ye Ling smiled and sat down.

Ji Ruochen said: "You seldom come to my place."

"You are a married woman now, so I have to avoid suspicion. If I come back too often, my sister-in-law will hear about it and I will become a sinner."

"Come without worry. No one dares to spread anything. It's the same as before. You don't have to avoid anyone."

"Okay, but Brother Ji, I'm here to discuss a business deal with you today. Do you have time?"

A guard came in and said, "Madam has brought lunch."

Ye Ling quickly stood up: "Um... Senior Brother Ji, I..."

"Sit down," Ji Ruochen interrupted Ye Ling, "Please let Madam in."

Out of politeness, Ye Ling did not sit down, but waited for Yu Ying to come in, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is here."

"Junior sister is here too." Yu Ying was only slightly stunned before she smiled and said, "Come and sit down and have dinner together."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ye Ling felt like he was caught.

"My husband told me that my junior sister is very good at cooking. Let's try the cooking skills of the chef I brought with me today." Yu Ying said as she and the maid took the dishes out of the lunch box.

Ye Ling secretly swore in her heart that she would never come to Ji Ruochen's place during meal times again.

The three of them sat down and started to eat lunch. Yu Ying used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Ye Ling: "Come, Junior Sister, try this."

"Junior sister doesn't like salt, mustard and tofu," Ji Ruochen suddenly said.

Yu Ying was a little stunned, and Ye Ling quickly said: "It's okay, I just don't like it, not that you can't eat a bite. Thank you, sister-in-law, you should eat quickly too."

"If you don't like it, don't eat it." Ji Ruochen directly took the tofu that Yuying had taken from Ye Ling's bowl and put it in his own bowl.

Ye Ling felt even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Ji, let's talk while we eat. I called you here today for an important matter."

"Let's eat first. Come, eat meat." Ji Ruochen started to pick up some dishes for Ye Ling again, and they were all meat.

Ye Ling forced a smile, wanting to die.
