LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 14: The affair begins, the moonlight returns
Shen Qing's heart froze. She never expected that Lu Yan would be so bold.
But when I thought about it again, I felt that it was nothing. I had done all the things like climbing the wall in the middle of the night, let alone coveting her as the mistress of the Hou Mansion.
After a moment of silence, Shen Qing looked into Lu Yan's eyes and asked, "You know my current identity and situation. There is no hope of reconciliation. If you are with me, you can only do it secretly."
Lu Yan is such a dazzling person. He shouldn't have to hide his feelings in the darkness. This is unfair to him.
Hearing Shen Qing's concerns, Lu Yan chuckled nonchalantly, looked into Shen Qing's eyes, and said word by word, "Jiaojiao, whether it's blatant love or secret love, as long as it's you, I'm happy with it. "
Shen Qing would not know that in the midsummer of that year, she came to the moon with a faint smile, and what a salvation it was for him who could only continue to sink in pain and despair.
From that moment on, Lu Yan knew that in this life, he would either hold Shen Qing's hand together for the rest of his life, or he would be alone until the end of his life.
Seeing Lu Yan's serious expression, Shen Qing suddenly felt relieved, with a bright and open smile on his face, "Okay, let's start our affair from today."
As the word "affair" fell, Lu Yan was startled for a moment, and then a glimmer of light spread across his eyes, and his whole body exuded a sense of expectation.
Shen Qing has already started talking about business.
"I carefully considered the three methods of reconciliation and separation you mentioned just now, and found that each has its shortcomings."
Lu Yan nodded, but his eyes always stayed on her beautiful face, and the tenderness in his eyes continued to spread, flooding into the sea.
Shen Qing felt her heart beating a little fast. She pretended to take a sip of tea to suppress the throbbing in her heart, "The first method, as you said, I will not be implicated, but if the Yangling Marquis Mansion If something happens to the family, all the property will be confiscated, and my dowry is no exception. Although the money is a foreign object, it is still the hard work of my mother and the Yun family over the years. If it were not a desperate situation, I would not want to take this step. "
Lu Yan thought for a moment. Unlike Shen Qing, he grew up alone. Although family love existed for him, it was insignificant, so this was not within the scope of his consideration. But since Shen Qing said it, then Nature is right.
"Okay, then we won't take this."
"The second one is actually my favorite. I have read a lot of classics before and found that this is the only way to successfully divorce and take away all the dowry. No matter whether the husband's family has bad morals or bad behavior, Doting on concubines and destroying wives is extremely prohibited by the laws of our dynasty. At that time, I will be able to escape with all my wealth."
Lu Yan frowned slightly, "This method is good, but it probably consumes the most time."
Shen Qing nodded. Indeed, this was what she was hesitating about. Simple evidence was everywhere in the Yanglinghou Mansion, but something big enough to overthrow the entire Yanglinghou Mansion could not be found in a short time.
"As for the third one, according to the laws of our dynasty, if the husband dies suddenly, a woman can remarry in March, but the dowry must be shared with her deceased husband. It is really too much to exchange Mu Ziqian's dead life for half of my dowry. Lift him up."
Lu Yan frowned, "This kind of scumbag will take your dowry to hell when he dies?"
Shen Qing sighed, "That's why I say that reconciliation does not happen overnight. I'm afraid you will be wronged in the days to come."
With a smile on his face, Lu Yan boldly grabbed the corner of Shen Qing's clothes and rubbed it gently, "It doesn't matter, having an affair is more exciting."
Shen Qing rolled her eyes at him angrily, "It's getting late, you should go back."
Lu Yan got up obediently, but didn't move for a while.
Shen Qing was a little surprised when she saw him taking a few steps closer to her, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes, "Jiaojiao, can I... give you a hug?"
There was a smile in Shen Qing's eyes, and she stepped forward and hugged Lu Jing's narrow waist.
Although the movements were a bit stiff, the gentle but hot touch on his waist still made Lu Yan's body stiffen.
When Lu Yan came back to his senses, the warmth in his waist had completely dissipated, and there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but more importantly, he was still satisfied.
His moonlight finally shifted in his direction again.
…
The thick night darkness swallowed up all the moonlight like a wild beast, and the entire Yanglinghou Mansion was shrouded in darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, the darkness gradually dispersed, and dawn finally arrived.
Because she didn't have to go to Mrs. Yanglinghou to pay her respects, Shen Qing slept half an hour longer than usual before getting up.
Chanyi was standing outside the door. When she heard the movement in the house, she knocked gently on the door. After receiving Shen Qing's response, she pushed the door open and entered.
While Chanyi was waiting for Shen Qing to get dressed, she said, "Miss, Aunt Lin has been waiting outside the yard for a long time. She said she wanted to hand over those treasures to you in person."
Shen Qing wiped the tears that slightly overflowed from the corners of her eyes before responding, "Then invite her in..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Ziqian's furious shout came from outside the door, "Shen Qing, you are too intolerant. Just because I dote on Fu'er, you have to embarrass her everywhere. She You’ve already lowered your stance, what else do you want?”
Shen Qing turned around and saw Mu Ziqian striding in angrily. Behind him, Lin Xuefu's face was filled with grievances, and there were a few tears in the corners of her reddish eyes.
So... did the blame come to the door so early in the morning?
Mu Ziqian stopped in front of Shen Qing and looked at her condescendingly. He thought he was feeling oppressed, but he didn't expect Shen Qing to laugh directly. Only Mu Ziqian's brain could use this little trick from his daughter's family. Only then will the order be accepted in full.
"Mr. Mu came here early in the morning. Could it be that he wanted to eat my breakfast?"
When he got up in the morning, he wanted to go to Lin Xuefu's place to get some food, but failed. Mu Ziqian, who is still hungry, immediately thought, Shen Qing, this woman, is so good at poking people's wounds!
Giving Mu Ziqian a cold look, Shen Qing looked at the frail Lin Xuefu, with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth, "I just heard from Chanyi that Aunt Lin came to return my dowry early in the morning, why are you still crying?" "
Being scolded by Shen Qing, Lin Xuefu's tears rolled down uncontrollably, but she still choked back with sobs and replied to Shen Qing's words, "Sister, I took your dowry by mistake. It's Xuefu's fault. You are not in a good mood." She really doesn’t want to see me, Xue Fu doesn’t dare to feel wronged.”
Chanyi's face suddenly turned cold and she complained on Shen Qing's behalf, "Aunt Lin, my servant obviously told you when you first came here that the young lady was still asleep and asked you to go back and come back later. How come two quarters of an hour has passed? , is it because the lady deliberately doesn’t want to see you? "
After being retorted by Chanyi, Lin Xuefu pursed her lips and said nothing, just shedding tears silently, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Mu Ziqian immediately felt distressed, and stepped forward to protect Lin Xuefu behind him, "Shen Qing, how else do you want to explain? Just a slave dares to bully Fu'er in front of me. When I'm not around, you guys Don’t you still want to hit someone?”
Hearing this, Shen Qing smiled suddenly and turned to look to her side, "Chanyi, Third Young Master Mu said so conclusively, if I don't do something, wouldn't I be charged with oppressing my concubine in vain? "
