Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 164: Liu Shu ran away The weather in recent days is just like Ling Ruoyao's mood.

A heavy rain had just ended two days ago, washing away the sweltering heat of the past few days, and it had just cleared up for two days, and today it began to rain again, pattering and relentlessly.

Ling Ruoyao sat leaning against the window, looking out of the window, watching the raindrops falling like broken beads, dripping to the ground, and splashing a ball of water.

On her fair and pretty face, there was a calm expression, but in those clear eyes, there was thoughtfulness. She seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn't even notice that Caizhi walked to her side.

"What are you thinking, miss?" Caizhi said with a smile as she bent over to her, "You're so preoccupied."

After hearing her words, Ling Ruoyao slowly came back to her senses, but her eyes were still looking out of the window, her expression was always calm and calm, without the slightest emotion.

Caizhi didn't answer, and she didn't turn her head to look at her, but slightly frowned her delicate brows, and her face became serious.

After being silent for a while, she sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Caizhi, would you like to go out with me to relax?"

For a while she didn't understand what she meant, Caizhi blinked her dark eyes, and said with some doubts: "Why would you ask such a question? If you want to go out for a walk, of course the slave will accompany you, but It’s raining today, so I’m afraid I can’t go out.”

As he spoke, there was a little helplessness in his tone.Straightening up, she also looked out of the window and let out a long sigh.

The weather in the past few days is really capricious. Yesterday was sunny, but today it is cloudy and rainy.

Finally turning around to look at Caizhi, Ling Ruoyao looked at her seriously, and said in a low voice, "I mean, leave the capital and go to another city."

Immediately startled by her words, Caizhi showed a surprised expression on her delicate and delicate face, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Miss, what are you talking about? Leaving the capital? Why?"

For her fuss, Ling Ruoyao was not surprised or displeased. She always looked at her with firm eyes that could not be refuted, and said with a barely audible sigh: "I just want to go out for a walk and relax." .If you don’t want to, then I’ll just go and relax by myself.”

"How can Miss be alone?" Without thinking too much, Caizhi hurriedly said, "Wherever Miss goes, the servant will follow, and the servant will not leave Miss!"

The corners of her ruddy lips held an elegant smile, Ling Ruoyao looked at her softly, and said sincerely: "Caizhi, thank you! Thank you for always being by my side!"

"Miss..." Caizhi also looked at her, with a dignified expression on her small face, and even a layer of mist in her dark eyes. Miss, that's what a servant girl should do."

Ling Ruoyao didn't speak anymore, but stretched out his hand to take her both, and looked at her with a smile all the time, but there was a touch of emotion in her heart.

Although Caizhi's identity is her personal maid, she does not treat Caizhi as a maid.Caizhi was the first person she saw after waking up in this strange country, and also the person closest to her. She had already regarded her as her sister.

And with her company, Ling Ruoyao also felt very at ease, at least, there was someone by her side who could talk.

"But Miss..." After being silent for a while, Caizhi suddenly spoke out, looking a bit embarrassed, "Why did Miss suddenly want to leave the capital and go out to relax?"

Dazed for a moment, Ling Ruoyao just raised her lips and smiled, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness in her laughter.

Why would she think of going out to relax?Wasn't it because of that man Huangfuyi, she was afraid that he would come to her again, and she was even more afraid that when facing such a humble Huangfuyi who talked to her, she would not be able to help but soften her heart and be shaken.

Moreover, after coming to this strange country, her scope of activities was limited to the former Four Princes' Mansion and the current Prime Minister's Mansion. Sometimes she would go shopping in the streets, but the scope of her activities was too narrow.

She was like a frog in a well, she hadn't seen much of the world yet.

So, she thought, why not go out for a walk and see what kind of country this Cheyuan country is.And most importantly, she didn't have to see Huangfu Yi again, and she didn't have to worry about whether she would be shaken.

After a moment of silence, she raised her head to look at Caizhi, and said casually, "It's just that I want to go out for a walk. How can there be so many reasons?"

She opened her mouth, but Caizhi still didn't say the words that came to her lips.She wanted to say, it was actually because of the Fourth Prince, right?

She waits by her side every day, so how can she not guess her troubles and thoughts?But she didn't say it out, she knew her identity very well, and knew what to say and what not to say.

After another period of silence, Caizhi said again: "Will the master agree? Miss is leaving the capital this time, so I'm afraid the master will not agree?"

Caizhi's question also made Ling Ruoyao frown, her expression looked a little gloomy and serious.

Pursing her red lips slightly, she fell into deep thought, thinking about how to get Ling Yan to agree to her and let her go out to relax.

It's not that she hasn't thought about the question Caizhi asked, but she really doesn't know what reason to use to ask Ling Yan's permission.

"I haven't even tried, so how do I know my father won't agree?" Looking up at Caizhi, Ling Ruoyao said nonchalantly.

Although these words were said for Caizhi, but more, they were said for herself.She had no idea in her heart, so she could only comfort herself with such words, telling herself that Ling Yan would agree.

Now that she has made a decision, she will try to pass Ling Yan's test.

Without hesitation, she stood up, led Cai Zhi, and walked out of the house, heading straight for Ling Yan's yard.

After asking the servants and knowing where Ling Yan was at this time, Ling Ruoyao came all the way outside Ling Yan's study room, but she didn't knock on the door immediately to enter, but stopped outside the study room.

Looking at the closed study door in front of her, she took a deep breath, tried her best to keep herself calm, then raised her hand and knocked on the door, until there was a muffled "come in" from the room, she pushed He opened the study door and walked in.

Caizhi, who was guarding outside the house, took the initiative to go forward after she entered, and closed the study door again, while she guarded outside, waiting nervously for Ling Ruoyao to come out.

After entering the study room, Ling Ruoyao saw Ling Yan who was sitting at the desk with his head buried in a book, and suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, and the mood that had finally calmed down began to become disordered again.

After taking several deep breaths, she managed to regain her composure, and then she walked up to Ling Yan: "Father, I wonder if Daddy is free?"

Ling Yan, who had been only focusing on reading, noticed the person who walked in, put down the scroll, looked up at Ling Ruoyao who was standing in front of him, frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What can I do for you?"

Nodding her head, Ling Ruoyao looked at him pleadingly, and said in a low voice, "I want to talk to Daddy for a while."

Pointing to the two chairs next to each other, motioned for her to sit down, and he got up and walked to the chair next to her to sit down.

After both of them sat down, Ling Yan turned his head and glanced at her, and said aloud, "Tell me, what do you want from me? Do you have something on your mind? You don't look very good."

Ling Ruoyao was stunned, and quickly reached out to rub her cheeks. She couldn't help but cursed in her heart that she was too nervous, but there was a sneer on her face: "There is something I want to discuss with Dad."

"Oh?" Frowning, Ling Yan looked at her suspiciously, and his tone of voice became a little lower, "What made you want to discuss it with me?"

The face became more embarrassed, Ling Ruoyao could only keep laughing, thinking, is he complaining that she seldom talks to him?Isn't she also afraid of disturbing him?

After twitching the corners of her mouth and laughing for a while, she mustered up her courage and said in a serious tone: "Father, I want to go out and relax." Looking at him, she was also very serious and determined.

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed immediately, and said nonchalantly: "If you want to go out to relax, you just go out of the house and go shopping in the street, why bother to tell me. Do you go out to relax?"

The corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but slander again, he must be blaming her!Look at what he said, no matter how it sounds, it seems to be mocking her.

After all, he wanted something from others. Even though he was very dissatisfied in his heart, there was always a smile on his face, and his gaze was still extraordinarily firm and serious.

After being silent for a while, Ling Ruoyao put away her smile, looked at his slightly aged face, and said in a low voice: "This time, I want to go to other towns, not just in the capital."

Undoubtedly, Ling Yan was stunned by what she said, a surprised expression appeared on her face, and the next moment she changed into a displeased expression, cursing in a cold voice, "You're just fooling around! Do you also want to run away from home like your elder brother?"

Opening her mouth, Ling Ruoyao suddenly didn't know how to refute.She could understand Ling Yan's worry, and she also knew the shock and impact on Ling Qinglian when he ran away from home.

Although she was not very clear about what happened back then, she could still guess from what others said and Ling Yan's attitude towards him after Ling Qinglian came back, that Ling Qinglian's running away from home cast a great shadow on him.

So much so that, at this moment, he would think that she was also going to run away from home.

Frowning exquisitely, Ling Ruoyao was silent for a while, and then explained: "Father, you misunderstood. I don't want to run away from home, I just want to go out to relax, and I will be back in a few days." .

"How many days?" Ling Yan raised his eyebrows and asked back, his tone was a bit cold, "How long? One month? One year? Or like your elder brother, two years after leaving?"

"Father..." Ling Ruoyao was very anxious, with a nervous expression on her fair face, "I will be back soon, and I won't leave for such a long time like my elder brother."

"Okay, don't say any more, I won't agree." Ling Yan waved his hand suddenly, turned his head away from her, and said in a low and unhappy tone, "You go out first, I still have things to deal with .”

"Father..." Ling Ruoyao panicked immediately, looked at him pleadingly, and hurriedly said, "Father, just promise me? I will really be back soon."

"There's no need to say any more." Ling Yan's attitude was very firm, and his tone of voice was too serious to be refuted, "I've already said, this matter is not for discussion. I will never let you run away from home like your elder brother Yes! Get out!"

Facing Ling Yan's resolute attitude and repeated orders to chase away guests, Ling Ruoyao immediately felt a deep sense of frustration, and instantly became listless, drooping her head, answered in a low voice, and then turned and walked out of the study.

After Ling Ruoyao left the study, Ling Yan's expression softened. On his slightly aged face, there was no longer an expression of anger, but deep worry and helplessness.

He was really scared. When Ling Qinglian ran away from home, it cast a great shadow on him, so that he took care of his three children more strictly than before.It is even more impossible for Ling Ruoyao to leave the capital.

As for Ling Ruoyao who walked out of the study room, she kept drooping her head, dragged her legs, and walked straight towards her yard without even hearing Caizhi's worried question.

Seeing her slumped appearance, Caizhi was even more nervous and worried. She hurriedly stepped forward to support her, looked at her with a delicate frown, and asked cautiously: "Miss, are you okay?"

Ling Ruoyao ignored her, kept her head lowered, and walked forward mechanically, her back looked very lonely.

"Miss, don't be like this." Caizhi was almost scared to cry by her appearance, "You should say something. We have plenty of time, don't we? Think of other ways."

"What else can I do?" After being silent for a while, Ling Ruoyao finally spoke out, but her tone was full of self-deprecation and helplessness, "Father's attitude is very firm, he will not agree to let me leave the capital."

Opening her mouth, Caizhi didn't know what to say, so she closed her mouth silently and looked at her worriedly.

Neither of the two spoke again, and walked straight to their own yard. .

But unexpectedly, on the way, they met Ling Qinglian and Ling Ruoyun.

It was rare for her to see these two people walking together, and she seemed a little surprised for a while, but it was immediately replaced by the loss in her heart.

The two people walking towards her also saw her. When they saw her, a bright smile appeared on Ling Qinglian's handsome face, her complexion softened, and her steps accelerated even more. , striding towards her.

But when he saw her listless appearance, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his smile disappeared, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very nervous and worried.

"Ruoyao, what's wrong with you?" Holding her shoulders, he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Could it be... no, it shouldn't be..."

While guessing, he denied his own thoughts.

Ling Ruoyun, who came up behind, just gave her a sideways glance, her expression was very careless, and she snorted softly and said, "Hey, what's wrong with Ruoyao? Hun'er was hooked away?"

Immediately displeased, Ling Qinglian turned her head and glared at Ling Ruoyun, signaling her not to talk too much.

Although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, Ling Ruoyun didn't continue to tease Ling Ruoyao, she just curled her lips and muttered in a low voice dissatisfied.

Looking back at Ling Ruoyao again, Ling Qinglian lowered her voice and asked again: "Ruoyao, tell big brother, what happened?"

"Not yet—"

"Caizhi!"

Caizhi just wanted to complain, but was interrupted by Ling Ruoyao all of a sudden, her expression was a little embarrassing, she pouted her lips, and buried her head down.

Meeting Ling Qinglian's worried and concerned eyes, Ling Ruoyao tried her best to keep her emotions calm, twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, brother don't worry. It's just that I feel a little tired. If my brother is okay I'm going to go back and rest first."

After finishing speaking, she quietly pushed away his hands holding her shoulders, led Caizhi, bypassed him and Ling Ruoyun, and continued walking along the corridor.

Seeing her leaving figure, Ling Qinglian frowned all the time, her gaze was very sharp and serious.Slightly pursing his thin lips, he withdrew his gaze and looked forward, only to find that Ling Ruoyao had just come from the direction of the study.

Ignoring Ling Ruoyun beside her, Ling Qinglian walked straight towards the study, and Ling Ruoyun stomped her feet in anger.

***

The night is thick, the rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the house is quiet.

During the day, after being reprimanded by Ling Yan, Ling Ruoyao seemed very disappointed, but the time passed as usual, she should eat and sleep, she still couldn't slack off.

At this time, lying on the bed, looking at the dark room, she suddenly felt sleepless, and the thought that had been circling in her mind became more and more clear.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, she couldn't fall asleep, so she simply turned over and got up, fumbled to put on her clothes, and tiptoed out of the bed, but she didn't turn on the lamp, walked towards the outside in the dark, and called softly: "Caizhi ...Caizhi..."

In the dimness, Caizhi rubbed her sleepy eyes in her pajamas, yawned and said, "Miss, are you still awake?"

Following the voice, she came to Caizhi, and she squatted down in front of her. In the dark night, on her fair face, there was a look of excitement and firmness: "Caizhi, what you promised me during the day , remember?"

"Remember, what's the matter, miss?" Caizhi rubbed her eyes again, subconsciously replied.

Although Caizhi couldn't see her clearly in the dark, she still raised the corners of her mouth and showed a bright smile: "Then let's go."

***

The next day.

The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was already in chaos. There were quite a few people walking back and forth in the front yard, backyard, kitchen and hut.

In the hall of the front yard, Ling Yan stomped his feet in anger, looking so angry that he wished to turn the entire Prime Minister's Mansion upside down.

Just because Ling Ruoyao is gone!Even her personal maid, Caizhi, is gone!

In her room, there was only one letter, placed on the table.

The content of the letter was also very simple, with only a short sentence - I went out to relax, don't worry, I will be back in March.

How could he not be worried?Yesterday he told her very clearly that he would not allow her to leave the capital, but he did not expect that she actually ran away from home!

Simply bullshit!

Although her letter said that she would come back after three months, who knew if she would be back on time after three months?Moreover, she has been away from home for three months, so how can he rest assured? !

Ling Qinglian, who was sitting on the side, also looked nervous and anxious, her brows were tightly frowned, recalling her listless look when he saw Ling Ruoyao yesterday, he understood what was going on.

He also didn't expect that Ling Ruoyao would run away from home!

She and Caizhi are just two weak women who have no strength to restrain chickens. They ran away from home so hastily, or left the capital, and they didn't know where they went. What should they do if they encounter any troubles?

He really wanted to rush out and catch Ling Ruoyao, but Ling Yan refused to let him go.

In Ling Yan's words, that is - if you go to catch her, you will probably be abducted by her!You dote on her so much, once she acts like a baby, you will be out of control!Stay still, I have already sent someone to catch her and come back!

For this reason, Ling Qinglian felt very helpless but had to be obedient, just because Ling Yan understood him somewhat.If Ling Ruoyao really acted like a baby to him and pleaded with him, maybe he would really run away with her.

The only thing he can do now is to wait patiently, hoping that the servants he sent out can catch her back.

At this time, some people in the Four Princes' Mansion also panicked.

"What did you say?!" Seeing Ye Yuan standing in front of him, Huangfu Yi said in disbelief, "You said Ruo Yao ran away from home!? Where did you go?!"

Frowning tightly, Ye Yuan lowered his head all the time, his expression extremely serious and gloomy.Not daring to be negligent, he replied respectfully: "Yes, Second Miss left a book and left, but I don't know when she left or where she went. The Prime Minister has already sent someone to look for Second Miss."

damn it!Huangfu Yi was already flustered, he was always calm and composed, but now he found that his usual practice was useless at all, and when he encountered Ling Ruoyao, he couldn't maintain his usual style.

This woman would actually leave a book and run away, and she didn't even know when she ran away from home.

How could she run away from home suddenly?Is it because of him?Was it to avoid him, to prevent him from seeing her again, and to bother her, that's why he ran away from home?

His heart tightened suddenly, Huangfu Yi frowned his brows tightly, pursed his thin lips tightly, and exuded a cold aura around him, which made people shudder.

Standing up abruptly, with one hand behind his back, he stretched his slender legs, and walked straight towards the outside of the house. While walking, he did not forget to order: "Prepare the horse immediately! This king will personally take the woman Get it back!"

Did she think that she could get rid of him completely by running away from home?Did she think he would give up if she did this?

If she really thinks so, then she really underestimates him!

Now that he has identified her as a woman, no matter if she escapes to the ends of the world, he will capture her back and make her his woman!
