married daughter

Chapter 358 Chapter 437~438 Farewell;

"Am I forcing you or are you forcing us? I see that with Jun Lanzhou, you have forgotten who we are! What were we looking forward to? Now that we have finally recognized our father and king, we can finally not care about it." What about the Lu family, you can leave the Xu mansion openly, no one dares to bully us, but you are hesitant, you want to let go of your relatives for an outsider, and you still say I forced you?" Ruan Yunlan blushed, her voice was red Raising the height, it can be seen how angry he is.

Ruan Yunting shook her head, "Brother Lan, I didn't say I would give up on you guys. Could it be that I'm not your sister or the daughter of my father after a distance? If I stay, wouldn't I be me?"

"Look, what you said is that you want to choose Jun Lanzhou to give up on us! What's so good about him? Don't you want to continue posting after he's kept you cold for so many days? Don't you think it's not enough to get rid of people! You are a majestic county Lord, let outsiders see you and our family!"

Ruan Yunlan has been holding back the words for many days, but today she finally couldn't help but speak out.

Ruan Yunting's complexion changed when she heard this, and she took a step back with some injuries, and sat down on the Concubine Xiang's couch by the window, lowering her eyes and said, "Did I lose you? Are there many people talking about it these days?"

"No, sister, I..." Seeing her hurt, Ruan Yunlan couldn't bear it, but they were clearly discussing whether to return to China at the moment. He didn't want to be diverted from the topic, didn't want to compromise, and said coldly: "Anyway You must go with us!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Ruan Yunting leaned against the soft pillow at her side, lay down crookedly, and closed her eyes tiredly.She will never give up Jun Lanzhou, even if she can't have children with him, she is not afraid.But if she had to make a choice, it would definitely make her father and Brother Lan sad, which she didn't want to see.

She has always claimed to be smart, and never shrinks back and is discouraged by difficulties when encountering problems, but this time, it really made her feel tired and helpless.Is it really so hard to find the law of both?
The fact that Ruan Yunting's sister and brother recognized Prince Duan as their relatives is known all over the world. On that day, people from all walks of life who were close or distant to the Xu family came to congratulate them. , Ruan Yunlan accompanied her to meet guests outside, so she couldn't make those who wanted to get close and make friends feel that they would be unattainable if they recognized their relatives.

Ruan Yunting didn't go out for a few days, didn't go to school, and didn't go to the Huitong Hall to look for Jun Lanzhou.Just staying in the room, or reading idle books in a daze, or playing some novel songs that Hongdou and Chanjuan have never heard before to Fengwei Jiaoqin.They didn't know the rhythm, but they could hear the sadness and hesitation in those songs. In front of Ruan Yunting, they were all cautious, for fear of annoying the girl.

Until this afternoon, Hongdou said back and forth: "Girl, Mr. Xiao came to see you."

Ruan Yunting was leaning on Xiangfei's couch holding a miscellaneous book in a daze, she was overjoyed when she heard this, she sat up straight and said, "What about others?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of hearty laughter from outside: "Ting'er is really heartless. With a real father, even her friends have forgotten. Look at how long you haven't gone to school, how long haven't you visited me in the academy?" ?” The voice fell, and a man in a light blue plain gown walked in through the curtain.The bead curtain swayed, refracting colorful lights and shadows onto Xiao Beishu's body and face, coating his resolute face with a gentle color.

"Brother Xiao." Ruan Yunting went down to the ground with a smile on her face, and told Chanjuan: "Go quickly, and give Mr. Xiao my new Yangtian Luxue."

"Yes." Chanjuan hadn't seen such an energetic Ruan Yunting for many days, she hurriedly followed her orders with a happy smile.

Ruan Yunting and Xiao Beishu sat down at the Eight Immortals Table in the outer room facing the door.

Xiao Beishu looked at Ruan Yunting's eyes, and there was some distressed emotion that couldn't be hidden: "You have lost a lot."

Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "You don't seem to have changed, how are you doing these days?"

Xiao Beishu stroked his chest with one hand in a heart-shaking gesture, frowned and said, "When you ask me this way, I realize that my life is really bad. Do the math, how long has it been since you came to see me? You are like this, Lan The same goes for Boy Zhou. Even if you found your father, I still got the news from other people, do you think I am doing well?"

Ruan Yunting couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing when she saw him: "Okay, brother Xiao, don't blame me. It's not that I don't want to see you. It's because too many things have happened recently." thing."

Xiao Beishu put away his jokes and nodded seriously: "I guessed that you must have difficulties, so I came to see you as soon as I heard the news. Tinger, are you okay?"

What he said earlier may have been polite greetings, but this sentence is really concerned.Ruan Yunting has been depressed for many days, and now it seems to be out of control again. Lan Zhou doesn't want to talk to her because of his background, and Brother Lan has been in a cold war with her for three or four days because she wants to stay. No one cares about these things. It can be resolved, it has been accumulated in my heart for a long time, and it is about to rot.

Seeing her frowning and not speaking, Xiao Beishu understood, "Hey, you have to think about everything you encounter, there will always be a solution. If you are willing, you can talk to me, and I will help you find a solution .”

Ruan Yunting is not the kind of person who is willing to talk about herself with others. Even with Xiao Beishu who is so familiar, she can't express all her inner thoughts. She just shook her head bitterly, "It's okay."

"Looking at you, you don't seem to be okay." Xiao Beishu guessed: "Lan Zhou seldom comes to me recently, I go to him, but he's not there, you still look so sad here, could it be your father and king? Agree with the two of you being together?"

Xiao Beishu knew about them a long time ago, and Ruan Yunting never thought of hiding it, but his guess was wrong, and she didn't want to keep going around in circles on this matter, so she said: "No, don't talk about me, talk about it. Let me tell you."

"Me?" Xiao Beishu pointed at the tip of his nose.

"Yeah, how do you live? Apart from teaching in the academy, what else do you do?"

"I'm still not the same. I don't want to make progress, but I play whatever I can. I go up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, go to the fields to farm, and play in the river. Recently, it's very interesting to play crickets with almost farm children behind Hongfeng Mountain. They Responsible for helping me catch crickets, and I teach them how to read and write poems, I am very busy every day, but I have never done anything meaningful." Xiao Beishu felt a little ashamed at the end.

Ruan Yunting said enviously: "Where is it? I envy you. It's not enough. If life can be so simple, it would be great. There won't be so many difficulties and choices..." Afterwards, her voice It fell into the throat and was barely audible.

But Xiao Beishu could still hear clearly, and asked in confusion: "Choice, embarrassing? Could it be that your father arranged a marriage for you, and you have to choose between Lan Zhou and another person?"

Before Ruan Yunting could answer, Xiao Beishu had already stood up and said, "This is not right. After all, you and Lan Zhou share weal and woe. How can the depth of our relationship be compared with that of any ordinary person? Besides, Lan Zhou How can you not compare to others? Your father is really confused! How can you do the thing of beating mandarin ducks?!"

"Really? Whether the old man beats the mandarin ducks or not, it's Mr. Xiao's turn to give advice!"

A low voice came from outside, followed by the shaking of the bead curtain, Prince Duan walked in with a stern expression, followed by Ruan Yunlan who also had an unattractive expression.

Ruan Yunting stood up, smiled and said beside Prince Duan: "Father, when did you come? Let me introduce you, this is..."

"No, this Mr. Xiao has heard about it for a long time as a father."

Prince Duan was wearing a long black gown. In the hot summer, his stern face and heavy color on his body gave people a sense of oppression and menace.In addition, the way he looked at Xiao Beishu was not friendly, and his attitude was even colder. Ruan Yunting recalled that the last time when their father and daughter did not recognize each other, Prince Duan once told her to pay attention to the people around him. If you put your heart in it, then you have the meaning of alluding to Xiao Beishu, and now look at his undisguised alienation and hostility towards Xiao Beishu...

Ruan Yunting frowned.

"Prince Duan." Xiao Beishu cupped his hands gracefully.

"Mr. Xiao, if it's okay, please go back. This king wants to say a few words to his beloved daughter."

Xiao Beishu's complexion instantly became extremely embarrassing for such an obvious order to chase away guests.He looked at Ruan Yunting thoughtfully.

Ruan Yunting did not help him argue with Prince Duan, but went to his side and apologized: "Brother Xiao, I will look for you another day."

Xiao Beishu was silent for a long time before nodding, and after saluting Prince Duan, he strode away without looking back.

Watching him walk away, Ruan Yunting asked Prince Duan and Ruan Yunlan without waiting for him to speak, "Father, why do you have prejudice against Brother Xiao?"

"Prejudice?" Prince Duan raised half of his eyebrows.

Ruan Yunting took the teapot and teacup, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Prince Duan, and said, "I remember last time you told me something about trusting the people around you in secret, and now you have the same attitude when you meet him , it is hard for me not to doubt, father, do you have any misunderstanding about Brother Xiao, or is there something I don't know about?"

Prince Duan smiled when he heard the words, and said with satisfaction: "My daughter is really smart. Just now, as a father, I was really worried that you would speak for him without asking indiscriminately. That would save my face. Yes, I really do love him. There are some doubts."

Ruan Yunting pulled Prince Duan to sit down, and she sat on his left side, "Doubt? What doubt?"

"That time you were attacked, my father investigated after the incident. Although there is no clear evidence, I still suspect that the group of people who robbed you of your jade pendant had something to do with Xiao Beishu."

"You mean...he sent someone to rob him?" Not many people knew about Yupei's possession on her body. Besides, the robbers at that time were indeed targeting Xiao Beishu. The two times she encountered danger, she was implicated. That one, Xiao Beishu is the other party's real target.

"I don't know why his purpose is to be a father, but my suspicion is by no means unfounded, and Lan Zhou has also noticed it. Otherwise, do you think that with the relationship between Lan Zhou and Xiao Beishu, why hasn't he looked at Xiao Beishu for so long? , and don't contact me?"

Ruan Yunting came to a sudden, "Lan Zhou is extremely smart, if he is convinced, then he will be close."

Ruan Yunlan curled her lips angrily after hearing this, "Father, look at her! Lan Zhou's farting is probably delicious!"

"Brother Lan!" Prince Duan rolled his eyes at his son, "How are you talking!"

Ruan Yunlan turned her back angrily, and peeked at Ruan Yunting's expression from the corner of her eye. In fact, he also felt that what he said just now was exaggerated.But when he thought that his sister didn't want him, but wanted an outsider, he couldn't control his emotions, and couldn't help but slip out hurtful words.

Ruan Yunting looked at Ruan Yunlan apologetically, and then said, "Father, how did you feel when my mother left without saying goodbye?"

Prince Duan was taken aback for a moment, and said honestly: "I was so anxious, reluctant, and angry, I just thought that if I caught her back, I would definitely lock her up. But later, all my emotions turned into despair..."

"Yes, despair." Ruan Yunting said: "Since my mother is willing to conceive your child, she must love you deeply. But she would rather be separated from her husband and bear the pressure and pain of life alone. There must be unavoidable difficulties. It is the 'difficulties' that separated the two of you as husband and wife, and no one thought that the original separation would be a permanent farewell."

When Ruan Yunting said this, her eyes were filled with tears: "I don't want to let 'Jizhi' continue to be the original sin, and I don't want to go away from my mother's old path. I am really in love with Lan Zhou, we know each other, and I don't want to let him go , I also believe that he has me in his heart, and everything he does now is the word "difficulty". But where is there any medicine for regret in this world? If I leave him without fighting for it, both of us will regret it for life. Father, I'm not my mother, I won't run away when something happens, I want to stay, give it a try. I don't want you and Brother Lan, even if there is a distance, I am your daughter after all, Brother Lan sister."

Prince Duan never imagined that Ruan Yunting would be so sincere in speaking to him today, he couldn't help but wonder, if Ling Yue had been as persistent as Ruan Yunting back then, wouldn't they have come to this point and fallen behind? Have a lifelong regret?
Ruan Yunting's words moved Ruan Yunlan, "Sister."

"Brother Lan. It's not that I don't value you and my father, I just don't want to leave any regrets in my life." Ruan Yunting walked behind Ruan Yunlan, bent her arms around his neck, and pressed her cheek against his : "Maybe if I stay, I can't change anything. At that time, I can give up and go back to Seibu, but not now, not after I haven't tried my best."

"That's all." Prince Duan smiled relievedly, "Since Ting'er thinks so, how can the father disagree? If you say nothing, you won't become a bad person who breaks up marriages without reason."

"Father." Ruan Yunting was extremely moved. In the past, she only knew that Prince Duan was the father of her body. Because her soul was changed, she didn't find much spiritual resonance. That's all.But now, she really felt the father's love, this kind of indulgence, this kind of consideration for the child, this kind of doting and helpless tone, what is the difference from her father in modern times?
Ruan Yunting held back her grievances for many days, and now she finally turned into tears of emotion, she threw herself into the prince's arms and choked up, saying, "Father."

Prince Duan put his arms around his daughter, patted her on the back pityingly, and ran down her long hair, "Good boy, dear Tinger, don't cry, your father is here, and your father will definitely make decisions for you, but... Lan You know what that boy Zhou minds, right?"

"I know." Ruan Yunting took a step back and wiped away her tears.

"If you know, have you already considered the consequences?" Prince Duan said worriedly, "You probably won't be able to have a healthy child in your whole life. You are still young and don't understand the importance of this."

"I've figured it out. Father. Our family doesn't rely on me to carry on the family line. I don't want to give up on him. Even if I don't have children, I just want to be with him. If it wasn't for him, I would rather not marry for life. Because others will make me feel Boring, disgusting."

Ruan Yunting's words did not imply a threat, but they were full of threats. Prince Duan shook his head helplessly, "Another foolish child, anyway, my father will not interfere with you."

Ruan Yunting showed joy on her face: "Thank you, Father."

Ruan Yunlan felt a little sad, "Sister, we are leaving tomorrow."

"So fast?!" Ruan Yunting was surprised.

Prince Duan smiled and said: "Xiwu also has a lot of official affairs waiting to be handled by my father. Since you stay, it's not good to live in Xu's house all the time. In this way, my father will send someone outside to buy a piece of land and build it for you. A separate courtyard, even though it is in Daliang Kingdom, it cannot be called Princess Duanyang’s Mansion, but it can be called a Yangxin Xiaozhu, right? I’ll leave all the good people around me for you, and buy fifty or sixty servants. They're going to build a house, and after they've built another courtyard, you move in and let them serve you and protect you."

Prince Duan stood up and smiled coldly: "The Xu family, maybe there are people who love you, but there are also people who are ignorant, right? You can be wronged for a while, and you can be independent in the future."

Leaving here and living without intrigue, this is exactly what she wants.

Ruan Yunting smiled and saluted: "Daughter, thank you, Father."

Prince Duan smiled and helped her up with one hand.

The people around Prince Duan were very efficient in their work. This afternoon, they entrusted their relationship in the eastern suburbs of the city to purchase a piece of land in the name of Princess Duanyang of Xiwu, and began to purchase wood to build a "small building for nourishing the heart." The ten people around Prince Duan The personal guards were all strong men with superb martial arts skills, and they were left to protect Ruan Yunting. Ruan Yunting lived in Xu's house, and they were not needed for a while, and they were also sent to build another courtyard.

In the evening, the Xu family hosted a banquet for Prince Duan and Ruan Yunlan.During the banquet, the old lady drank two cups of wine too much, holding Ruan Yunlan's hand and weeping reluctantly.He said some touching things.It was also at this time that Ruan Yunlan truly realized that the old lady is really old.

On July [-]th, the sun was shining brightly, in the suburbs, Ruan Yunting and Princess Qionghua held hands and bid farewell, "Ting'er, are you really not going back?"

Ruan Yunting shook her head, smoothed her long hair that had been blown up by the wind, and said with a smile: "If one day I go back, I won't go back alone."

When Qionghua heard the words, she excitedly followed Ruan Yunting's eyes to look at Jun Lanzhou, who was dressed in crimson Xiwu official uniform.

The scars on Jun Lanzhou's face have faded, and if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see that you have been injured. This is the most gratifying thing for Ruan Yunting.

Jun Lanzhou coughed and came to Prince Duan: "Father."

Prince Duan patted him on the shoulder. Thousands of words were reduced to one sentence: "Alright, take care of Ting'er."

"I……"

"Ok?"

"Yes. I will try my best." Jun Lanzhou was very helpless.

Prince Duan raised his voice and said: "Qiong Hua, get in the car. The hour is up, we should start."

"Uncle Third Emperor." Princess Qionghua responded, patted Ruan Yunting's hand, turned back and got into the carriage.

Ruan Yunlan and Prince Duan got on their horses together.

Ruan Yunting's eyes fell on her younger brother who wore a sky blue cloak.Since their rebirth, this is the first time that their siblings have separated.Although she knew that there would always be a day when they parted in the future, but at this moment, she still couldn't help the sadness of parting, and tears welled up in her eyelashes.

This is especially true for Ruan Yunlan. The two of them grew up together and ate and lived together when they were young. After their mother died, they begged for food together to find their grandmother's house, and then lived together in a deep house. He never let Ruan Yunting alone People pass.However, Ruan Yunlan also knew that Ruan Yunting was already able to adapt to all difficulties. For so long, hasn't she always been in the position of protector, protecting him?
"Sister, take care."

"You too." Ruan Yunting smiled and waved.

Prince Duan turned his head and took a deep look at his daughter, and Yang Sheng ordered: "Let's go."

"drive!"

The chariots and horses moved forward, and the guards walked in unison.Ruan Yunlan and Prince Duan were at the front of the team, like two flags, their figures looked so proud.

Seeing them gradually walk out of sight, when Ruan Yunting was about to get in the car, a soft voice suddenly came from behind: "Yun Lan! Yun Lan!"

"Princess Qingge?" Ruan Yunting looked in astonishment at Han Qingge, who was jogging towards Han Qingge waving a handkerchief.

"Yunlan! I will look for you, wait for me! Yunlan!" Han Qingge stood on the mountain bag, waving his arms vigorously at Ruan Yunlan in the distance.

"Princess, you are so unseemly, stop barking." The old mama reminded with a frown.

Han Qingge turned a deaf ear to it, and still yelled something like "Yun Lan wait for me".

Perhaps Han Qingge's voice really spread so far, Ruan Yunting clearly saw Ruan Yunlan who had already walked away turned around and waved in their direction.

Han Qingge smiled overjoyed.

Looking at Han Qingge like this, it was hard for Ruan Yunting not to be envious.Ever since she fell in love with Ruan Yunlan, she has always expressed her liking frankly, never hiding it, and not being contrived by women nowadays. I was bored by her, and then slowly fell in love with her.

As the saying goes, "Men chase women's interlayer mountain, women chase men's interlayer yarn" is probably the case?

So what about her and Lan Zhou?
Ruan Yunting turned around and looked at Jun Lanzhou.

Jun Lanzhou said with a straight face: "Get in the car, I will take you back to Xu's house."

Look, the person who used to be witty and humorous, now has a stiff expression on his face, like a tight iron plate.Ruan Yunting pouted secretly, blinked slyly, and nodded sadly.

He had just stepped onto the carriage with one leg on a red lacquered wooden stool when his body tilted and fell from above.

"Ting'er!" Jun Lanzhou was originally behind her, seeing that she was so frightened, he hurriedly caught her with both arms.

Ruan Yunting leaned into his arms and put her arms around his neck: "Lan Zhou."

Jun Lan Zhoufang felt something was wrong with her soft and tender body clinging to her. Her small appearance just now was clearly full of calculations, and she did it on purpose.

"You!" Putting her on the ground, Jun Lanzhou was a little annoyed, "You are crazy, why are you making fun of your own body!"

Ruan Yunting smiled, dignified and gentle like every lady in Daliang City, but the obvious complacency and calculations in her clever eyes were not shared by others.

"I'm not kidding, I knew you'd catch me."

"you……"

"In the future, I will often fall accidentally, or accidentally fall off the carriage, accidentally startle the horses on the side of the road, or knock over the boiling tea, knock down the wine and shake the pole, etc. .No one cares about me anyway, just let me fend for myself.” Then he turned around and climbed into the carriage again.

Jun Lanzhou was very angry. He knew she did it on purpose, but he couldn't help but believe her words, and followed her cautiously, for fear that something would happen to him again.

Ruan Yunting saw him behind her out of the corner of her eye, and smiled triumphantly.Isn't he going to push her away?She just didn't want him to be happy!
Jun Lanzhou was very annoyed. On the way back to Xu's house, Ruan Yunting's situation was endless.First, he "accidentally" poked the buttocks of the horse that was driving the shaft with a hairpin, and the horse galloped like crazy, almost falling into the ditch with people and the car. In the end, he finally recovered the horse. Quiet, but he didn't dare to let her be alone anymore, let Yanying run with the car, got in the car and sat opposite her.

She thought it was over, but Ruan Yunting's condition continued. She knocked over the kettle containing hot tea. If he hadn't reacted quickly and hugged her to his lap, she might have suffered multiple burns on her hands and legs. You must know that it is summer now, and the wound does not like to heal.

All the depression that Ruan Yunting had accumulated these days was relieved when she was "tossing" Jun Lanzhou, watching him get annoyed because of her teasing, and seeing that he can successfully prevent her from being hurt every time, Ruan Yun Ting knew that Jun Lanzhou had always focused on her.

So you still say you want to sever ties with her, and you still say you don't love her?She would be really stupid if she believed it.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Xu's house, Ruan Yunting raised the curtain of the carriage, and was considering whether to "fall" down, when suddenly she saw a fast horse approaching from the opposite side.Seeing Jun Lanzhou in the carriage, the person on the horse hurriedly said: "Master Jun, I have found you! No, the prince was assassinated and is in danger. The son ordered you to go to the palace quickly!"

Jun Lanzhou swayed and almost fell headfirst. He couldn't believe that he knew the advisor and said, "You said lord, what lord is it!?"

"It's Prince Yu, hurry up and go to Prince Yu's mansion with me!"

Ruan Yunting was extremely astonished. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the imperial city, who has the ability to hurt the powerful Prince Yu?There are so many masters around Lord Yu, who can do it? !
Just as he was thinking, Jun Lanzhou leaped from the car onto Yanying's back, scolded and clamped the horse's belly, and Yanying flew out like a black lightning bolt.

Ruan Yunting also hurriedly ordered the coachman: "Hurry up and go to Prince Yu's Mansion!"
