married daughter

Chapter 327
Dai Ming knew that although Ruan Yunting didn't love him, she shouldn't hate him.But after the incident with Princess Qionghua, he often didn't dare to see her, afraid of meeting her clear eyes, and even more afraid of her asking him why he did such a breach of promise.In the past, he and his family had promised to treat her like a real wife.Therefore, when Ruan Yunting saw the scene where he lowered his figure to face the aloof Prince Duan just to marry Princess Qionghua, he really wished he could find a place to drill, and he just wanted to get back to the carriage as soon as possible, not to be with Princess Qionghua. She looked at each other.Before she could take a step, she saw Jun Lanzhou, who was wearing a crimson Xiwu civil official uniform, had already walked up to her, talking to her with a smile.

Ruan Yunting is wearing goose yellow half-arms and eight pieces of Xiangfei-colored skirt today, coupled with a picturesque face, she is really rare and pretty.When she raised her head to talk to Jun Lanzhou, she had a kind smile, which made him stop obsessively.A little bit of resentment slowly rose.

When they first met, he made an agreement with her that if she wanted to leave one day in the future, he would help her, and he, De Ming, was really not someone who would force a woman to be with him.Why didn't she discuss with him to make a decision, but chose such a decisive method to push him away fiercely, fulfilling her good reputation as a strong girl, and classifying him as "Chen Shimei" first-class?
Jun Lanzhou walked to Ruan Yunting's side, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Come and have a look." Ruan Yunting replied to him, turned around and walked side by side before whispering: "After you all left last night, Prince Duan called me alone."

"Oh? What did he ask you to do?"

"Talk to me about family matters." Ruan Yunting frowned distressedly: "I don't know what he wants. He told me to be careful with people and not to trust the people around me too much. He also asked me a lot about my childhood."

"Is that so..." Jun Lanzhou replied thoughtfully.

Prince Duan asked him to protect the Ruan family in secret; yesterday, he happened to stand up when they were in danger; after the interrogation, he also inquired about Ruan Yunting's childhood, and asked her not to reveal her heart to anyone... You know, Yesterday he also noticed that Brother Bei was not only unhappy, but also astonished when Prince Duan led his men to rescue him.

Could all this be a coincidence?
Shouldn't...

Jun Lanzhou looked down at Ruan Yunting with deep meaning in his eyes.

Seeing that Jun Lanzhou was silent, Ruan Yunting looked up at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jun Lanzhou smiled slightly, "What he said is not unreasonable, you have to be cautious. People around you don't have to believe everything."

"Can't even you believe it?" Ruan Yunting stopped and looked at him.

"When necessary, don't even believe me." Jun Lanzhou also stopped and smiled warmly.

He clearly said not to believe his words, but he showed her such a smile that made it impossible not to trust her.

Ruan Yunting smiled and was about to continue walking, but Jun Lanzhou looked past her and looked behind her.

Ruan Yunting turned back suspiciously, and Dai Ming stopped three steps away from her, as if he didn't expect her to turn around suddenly, with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Miss Ruan, I have something to say to you .”

The title has changed.

Ruan Yunting nodded, "Master Xiao Dai, please tell me."

Dai Ming looked at Jun Lanzhou.

At this time, if they are sensible, they should give the space to the two of them.

But Jun Lanzhou didn't seem to understand what he meant, and stood there looking at the scenery without moving or looking at Deming.

Feeling helpless, Dai Ming made a bow, and said politely: "My lord, I have something to talk to Miss Ruan, so let's take my leave first." Then he turned to look at Ruan Yunting, "Miss Ruan, could you please move? Let's go back to the city and find a quiet place?"

Ruan Yunting wanted to ask, "Is there anything I can't say here?", but she swallowed the words, even though they have nothing to do with each other now, Deming was good to her in the past, so why bother Things to do?

"Alright."

Ruan Yunting didn't want to provoke lip service, lest the mother-in-law who was following the carriage gossip about her affairs, so she sent the Xu family's carriage back first, saying that she would take Mr. Jun's carriage to the Huitong hall later, and there was still work to be done.No one dared to ask about the master's affairs, so the woman who followed the car took the car back first.

Ruan Yunting and Dai Ming got into the carriage together and walked slowly towards the north gate.

She thought that if Dai Ming wanted to talk, he would find a quiet place with a pleasant view, but what Ruan Yunting never expected was that he would take her to a tavern that had no name.The tables, chairs, benches and other furnishings here are very simple. If you look closely, there is still a layer of "deep-rooted" oil stains on the table.

Dai Ming randomly chose a seat by the window to sit down, and called the waiter over, "A jug of wine, a plate of fried peanuts." Then he looked at Ruan Yunting asking, "What do you want?"

"I'll just have tea."

"Then serve a pot of good tea, let's go."

"okay."

The waiter backed away, Dai Ming looked at Ruan Yunting, smiled and said, "I come here often recently. Do you know why?"

Ruan Yunting guessed what he wanted to say, but she was unwilling to accept his words.

Deming said to himself: "I often come here to get drunk. In the mansion, I can't get drunk. I will only worry my father and mother if I let myself go. Other big restaurants will not work. If you don't keep it all, you will meet some familiar people. See me That way, talking about it behind the scenes will only make it more and more ugly. So only here, those acquaintances will not come, and it has become an excellent place for me to get drunk."

Ruan Yunting listened with lowered eyes, her long eyelashes were like drooping butterfly wings, casting a shadow on her fair face.De Ming looked at her fixedly, seeing that she was not prepared to say much, he laughed at himself.

At this time, the shop waiter brought up the wine, tea and fried peanuts, bowed and left.

Deming grabbed the jug and took a big gulp first, so as to extinguish the flame in his heart.After calming down a bit, he said: "I have heard of you before when I never met you. You are beautiful, and you are outstanding in your actions. You answered the difficult questions given by the envoys of the Xiwu Kingdom beautifully in the Imperial Garden. I am full of praise, I am a noble person, I pay little attention to women, but I remember your name."

Dai Ming looked at Ruan Yunting, his dark eyes looked somewhere in the air, as if caught in memories:

"Later, the emperor found me, and first explained his intention to point you to me as a concubine, and told me to choose the last one in the team later. I was somewhat helpless at that time, because I had dreamed of having a concubine before. A knowledgeable wife who has the same topics as me has been with me for the rest of my life. I had to marry the woman the emperor wanted me to marry. But I was also very glad that person was you, because you were different. Later, you followed When everyone arrived in the imperial garden, I saw you at a glance. It seemed that even if you were among thousands of people, I could still see you. At that time, I thought, even if the emperor didn’t tell me to choose the last member of the team That one, I also know which one is you. When I made those promises to you, I didn’t expect that I would really have a deep love for you. After getting along with you, every time I get to know you better, I will love you From the carelessness at the beginning to the deep-rooted love at the end. Tinger, my love for you is true. I ask myself, before the incident of Princess Qionghua, I never felt sorry for you. .”

Deming's speech became faster and faster, and his voice became more and more excited: "If you want to quit the engagement, just come to me and say yes, I have promised you a long time ago, if you don't like me, I will let you go Even if I can't bear you, I will fulfill my promise, but why did you do such a thing? The ingenious play in the imperial garden directly classifies me as inhumane and unrighteous, and fulfills your own reputation?"

Ruan Yunting looked at the spout of the spherical clay pot on the table. The weather was getting colder in autumn, and a light white mist could already be seen coming out of the spout.She tried her best to calm her heart, they are over, today Deming came to her to say these words, just to draw a conclusion, so that he would not have so many regrets in his heart, so she was unwilling to argue with him, let alone Will ask him, "Should I sacrifice myself for your fame and become an abandoned wife that everyone laughs at?"

Dai Ming finally asked what he had been holding back for a long time. Although Ruan Yunting didn't answer him, he didn't have any regrets.

"Ting'er, I want to ask you one last question."

Ruan Yunting raised her head and looked at him: "Say it."

Dai Ming pursed his lips, as if he was considering his words, and said after a while: "If there is no new land policy, no Princess Qionghua, and you and I continue to get along peacefully like this, will you, fall in love with me?"

Ruan Yunting blinked, and then smiled and said: "Zhiqian, your assumption is not valid at all. The Deming I know is a person who can give up everything for the country and faith, even giving up his life. In this way For you, even if there is no new land policy and Princess Qionghua, you will act according to your temperament when you encounter other things." Ruan Yunting paused for a while, and said: "The husband-in-law I want is not like this of."

Dai Ming was silent, as if he was digesting Ruan Yunting's words, his eyes became clearer and brighter, as if he had let go of all the pressure, and returned to the bright and clear person before.

If Ruan Yunting told her that she would fall in love with him, he would have lost a woman he loved and loved him, and he would die with one heart.

Ruan Yunting would not love him.All he lost was a woman who didn't love him.Even if they keep entangled, they will only hurt each other.

Deming grabbed the jug and drank it up, stood up randomly, his smile regained his former confidence and calmness, and he walked towards the door of the tavern in a smart way. When he arrived at the door, he turned around and said with a smile: "Ting'er, take care of yourself from now on." After finishing speaking, she walked away briskly as if she had dropped a heavy burden.

Ruan Yunting sat quietly, looking at the teapot that was no longer steaming, her mood gradually became lighter.

Seeing that Dai Ming was gone, Xu Shi came over with a smile and saluted, "Young lady, do you want to settle the account?"

Ruan Yunting was stunned when she came back to her senses, she was a rich lady, and she was not going to travel far, so how could she carry money on her body, and the money she came out on weekdays was always on the maid.
