Frost shines on Qingcheng

Lu Qingrong has lived in the inner city of Qingcheng for a few days, and Zhao Yueyao hasn't started to chase people away because Ling Yan's body has gradually improved.And Lu Qingrong has always been proud of herself, even in other people's territory, she seems a little unscrupulous, and she doesn't take Zhao Yueyao seriously at all.

She came in and out of Rong Yuexuan freely, and came to see Ling Yan every day.After going back and forth, Ling Yan gradually became acquainted with her.After getting better, Ling Yan will chat with her a few more words.Although Lu Qingrong's attitude was not enthusiastic, she would still answer her words.

"Your pulse condition has stabilized a lot today. I believe that you will be cured in a few days after treatment." Lu Qingrong finished his pulse and said while packing the medicine box with his head down.

Ling Yan was half lying down, her pale face due to illness was in stark contrast to the black hair pouring down her shoulders.Even so, a beauty is a beauty, even with a haggard face, there is still a kind of sickly beauty.

"Thanks to Miss Lu's rescue, I saved my life." Ling Yan looked at her and said.

Lu Qingrong laughed silently when she heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh at her ignorance of the secret behind it or something else: "But I don't think you're half happy about it." She packed up her things, looked up into the smoky amber in the eyes.

Ling Yan also smiled, unlike the charming and flamboyant Lu Qingrong's smile, her smile contained more tenderness like water.Just putting aside that layer of tenderness, few people understand the helplessness and melancholy behind the smile.

But Lu Qingrong saw it.For a moment, she was a little absent-minded, and the meaning of inquiry in her eyes also deepened: "I... am I right?"

Ling Yan noticed Lu Qingrong's probing gaze, and also knew that the other party was very thoughtful, so she lowered her eyelids to deliberately hide her emotions: "I have too much involuntary control, so I accept everything that fate has arranged for me. For example, if I die this time, that's fine, a death will end many things that I can't end."

Lu Qingrong didn't speak, but she was gradually changing her view of Ling Yan in her heart.

"Unfortunately not. Since you are lucky enough to save your life, let's continue to live." Ling Yan didn't want to say anything more about this, just wanted to end this topic, "Anyway, thank you Miss Lu."

"You're being polite." Lu Qingrong couldn't bear such gratitude, and said frankly, "I also have a purpose for saving you."

Ling Yan: "I know a little bit about Miss Lu. Whether you use her or have good intentions, as far as I'm concerned, if you save me, you save me. A 'thank you' is still necessary."

Lu Qingrong got up: "As you like. Miss Ling is resting, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, she picked up the medicine box and made a gesture to leave.

"Miss Lu!" Ling Yan called out to stop her.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qingrong stopped when she heard the sound, and tilted her head slightly, and she projected it between her coquettish brows from the corner of her eye.

Ling Yan's voice was weak: "Speaking of saving people, I thought of something. I don't know if you still remember Shen Shuangzhao? She was injured and broke into Rong Yuexuan before, and I hid her. If it wasn't for Miss Lu's men Be merciful, I don't think I can hide it from the city lord that day."

Lu Qingrong's face turned cold, and when she mentioned this incident, she began to ferment violently in her heart, feeling jealous and having nowhere to vent.

"I know that Shen Shuangzhao has never met you before, so I'm very curious—Miss Lu doesn't seem like a soft-hearted nosy person, why did you show mercy to her that night?" This was buried in Ling Yan's heart for a long time. Confused, it's rare to see Lu Qingrong, how could she let go of this opportunity?

"How do you know that I don't know her before?" Lu Qingrong withdrew the glimpse of Ling Yan from the corner of her eye, and there was a strong thorn in her words, as if she was holding her breath, she deliberately raised her voice, "I and her ..."

Ling Yan frowned, waiting for the second half of her sentence.

When Lu Qingrong said this, he changed his mind again, abruptly turned his words around, and lowered his tone a bit, sounding a little cold: "I don't need outsiders to speculate about how I am with her." At this time, Lu Qingrong It revealed her indifference of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

"I asked, but Miss Lu doesn't have to answer me." Ling Yan didn't take Lu Qingrong's sudden hostility to heart, and responded calmly and calmly.

Thinking of Shen Shuangzhao, Ling Yan couldn't help sighing, and said to herself: "Miss Lu saved Shen Shuangzhao before, but unfortunately she died because of me, Miss Lu failed to save her the second time..." When her health was getting worse a few days ago, she always wanted to Could it be that the time has come for Shen Shuang to obey his orders?Although Shen Shuangzhao's "death" cannot be completely attributed to her.

Lu Qingrong stroked the belt of the medicine box, stopped answering her words, and walked away.

Walking out of Rongyue Pavilion, the moon has already crept up on the willows.Lu Qingrong raised her head slightly, and the cold and thin moonlight just shone on her face.

She stretched out her hand to take off the veil, a smug expression appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she remembered what Ling Yan said just now.I was the one who saved Shen Shuangzhao's life before, and I saved her life after that. Ling Yan didn't even know whether Shen Shuangzhao was alive or not. What qualifications did she have to make Shen Shuangzhao miss her so much?

Lu Qingrong tightly grasped the veil in her hand, as if to vent her unwillingness.

Forget it, I haven't seen that person for several days, but it's a pity that I can't leave here for a while.Only by being patient for a few days can I get away and go to Shuilan City to meet that person for a while.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------

When it came to Master Zhang's birthday, Shen Shuangzhao took a few maids and guards to Zhang's mansion full of displeasure.

Mr. Zhang had heard that Shen Shuangzhao was coming and greeted him at the door in person.He knew that it was Shen Wanrong's intention for Shen Shuang to come to the house, but he hadn't fully figured out what Shen Wanrong's intentions were.After thinking about it, he only thought that his son was about the same age as Shen Shuangzhao, and both of them had reached the age of marriage. It might be related to this.

"Miss Shen has worked hard all the way, please sit inside." No matter what, Master Zhang would never dare to neglect Shen Shuangzhao.After all, she is the daughter of the city lord, maybe she will take over the whole city in the future.

Shen Shuangzhao evaded and said: "Master Zhang, you are being polite. You are the elder, and I am the junior. How dare the junior sit in front of the elder? According to Master's order, I am here to celebrate my birthday." She motioned the accompanying people to take out the presents , "This is the master's wish, and I hope Mr. Zhang will accept it."

Master Zhang nodded again and again: "The city lord is being polite. I hope Miss Shen will convey my gratitude to the city lord after she returns to the city."

Shen Shuangzhao nodded, and was welcomed inside by Mr. Zhang.It's not easy for her to refuse, she just came, so she can't go back after giving the gift, can she?

There are a lot of people in the Zhang residence today, and some relatives and friends came to congratulate Mr. Zhang on his birthday.Shen Shuangzhao doesn't like excitement, Mr. Zhang knows it.And by thinking about Shen Wanrong's thoughts, when Shen Shuangzhao proposed to leave, he asked his son Zhang Shan to escort Shen Shuangzhao back to the inner city.

Shen Shuangzhao was naturally unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't get rid of his kindness, so she had to have a little follower behind her.

Zhang Shan's appearance is indeed not bad, but that mouth is really annoying.Even if Shen Shuang didn't answer the conversation and deliberately ignored him, he could still chatter there alone.

"I have long heard that Ms. Shen next to the city lord is not only beautiful, but also quite capable. It is said that Ms. Shen helped solve several cases my father was in charge of before." Zhang Shan said with a personable manner, his eyebrows beaming.

Shen Shuangzhao's brows were always furrowed: "I am idle and bored, I will naturally not be stingy when I can help Mr. Zhang. If you are talking about handling cases, Mr. Zhang is an old senior, and his experience and ability are naturally superior to mine. I am just doing it for him. Just do trivial things."

"Ms. Shen is really humble. My father said that you solved many cases. Thanks to you."

"It's Mr. Zhang who praised the award." Shen Shuangzhao continued walking on the street, coldly trying to end the topic with these words.

However, Zhang Shan still wanted to make use of the topic, he thought for a while, and caught up with her: "Miss Shen is so outstanding, I would like to ask, does Miss Shen have someone in mind?"

Hearing this, Shen Shuangzhao stopped in her tracks, completely ignoring that she was in a busy street and there were passers-by coming and going around her.

If she didn't leave, Zhang Shan naturally didn't leave either, and the group just stopped in the crowd.

"Miss Shen?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhang Shan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her.

Shen Shuangzhao blinked her eyes, then came back to her senses, subconsciously moved her left wrist, and the small silver bell rang softly.But in the busy street, only she could hear the voice clearly.

"I have." She met Zhang Shan's eyes, which were as firm and open as ice and snow.

Zhang Shan was obviously disappointed, shifted his gaze to the other place, and waved the fan in his hand, as if to relieve the loss in his heart.

"I don't know which son is it that can make Miss Shen fall in love so much?" Zhang Shan asked.

Shen Shuangzhao continued to move forward, but this time she did not catch up and walked behind her leisurely.

"It's not..." Which family's son.The second half of the sentence was swallowed by Shen Shuangzhao.

"Huh?" Such a short word made Zhang Shan puzzled.

Shen Shuangzhao probably thought of something and smiled.It was rare for her to show such a bright smile, but the smile disappeared in a flash.

"It's nothing." Shen Shuangzhao didn't intend to have any contact with him, "The gate of the inner city is just ahead, please stay, Mr. Zhang. You sent me back today, Shuangzhao thank you next time."

"Should be."

"Then let's say goodbye here, Mr. Zhang." Shen Shuangzhao couldn't wait to get rid of him, and left after saying this.

Looking at her back, Zhang Shan had an indescribable feeling in his heart. In short, he was a little bit shocked.After standing for a while, he also left.

Seeing that Shen Shuangzhao had entered the inner city, Ziqin was relieved, it was time to go back to work.

------------------------------------------------------------

"What else?" Lu Qingrong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"No more, Miss Shen will go back to the city after talking about it." Ziqin honestly reported to Lu Qingrong everything that happened to Shen Shuangzhao today.

The hot air from the mouth of the cup hit Lu Qingrong's eyelashes, which were covered with tiny drops of water.She put down her teacup: "I'm going to Shuilan City tonight, and you go with me too." To cross the river from Qingcheng to Shuilan City, Lu Qingrong needed him to puncture the boat for herself.

"Yes." Ziqin secretly glanced at Lu Qingrong, she seemed a little unhappy.
