First Concubine

Chapter 207 Fierce business war (1)

The sun sets in the west, and the sky is covered with fiery red sunset glow. Shui Linglong walked back to the Wisteria Courtyard with brisk steps. She had been out for a while, and she didn't know if her sister was awake or looking for her. After walking a few steps, her waist suddenly tightened, and Shui Linglong instinctively wanted to take precautions. In the third wolf pose, she smelled the familiar scent of mint. Her fists loosened and she hugged his neck instead, laughing happily.

The sweet laughter like silver bells floated gently in the dusk. Mu Hua looked sideways at the sound and saw Shui Linglong leaning on Zhuge Yu's arm, smiling with crooked eyebrows. This was the first time that Mu Hua looked at Shui Linglong's appearance. She has a fair face with melon seeds, a pair of thick black eyebrows, a pair of big and shining eyes, a sharp nose, small lips, a smile, bright eyes and white teeth, and a delicate look. Pleasant. She is not the kind of woman who is the most beautiful in the world, but she seems to exude a strong aura of spiritual beauty.

Just when Mu Huahua was secretly amazed by Shui Linglong's appearance, Shui Linglong pushed Zhuge Yu away, her smile disappeared, and she turned away angrily. Afterwards, Zhuge Yu stepped forward with a smile. He didn't know what he said, but Shui Linglong hit him **** the chest, still looking unhappy. Zhuge Yu lowered his body to coax him again, Shui Linglong lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the roadside, just not giving Zhuge Yu a good look...

 Seeing this, Mu Hua's thick eyebrows frowned. The previous surprise quickly faded away, replaced by an inexplicable rejection. A wife should be gentle and virtuous, how could she be so domineering and strong? This is called ignorance of women's ethics; and as a man, he should not be so humble and coax his wife, it is simply too weak!

Mu Hua shook his sleeves and was about to leave in a stride, when an extremely beautiful woman came from not far away. The woman saluted the two of them, and Zhuge Yu's smile faded and he left the place. Then, the woman took Shui Linglong's hand again. Her back was to Mu Hua. Mu Hua couldn't see her expression clearly, but he had a panoramic view of Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong brushed her hand away coldly. The woman chatted with her for a few words, but Shui Linglong walked away.

Mu Hua shook his head. It seemed that the two of them knew each other. The visitor was a guest. How could Shui Linglong show her face to the guest? But it’s normal to think about it again. How can a person who speaks harshly to his own husband be so kind to others? Now, Mu Hua's impression of Shui Linglong is simply terrible!

"Sister, please help me! I came to you only when I was desperate!" Shui Lingxi grabbed Shui Linglong's hand and begged.

Shui Linglong brushed away her claws that were causing her pain. She was really disgusted with how she didn't even blink when she framed her, but kept a low profile when she asked for help: "Shui Lingxi, have you figured it out? What's the situation? My married daughter has thrown away the water. I have little relationship with Shangshufu. How can I help you? "

A layer of mist quickly formed in Shui Lingxi's eyes: "Because we have worked together before, and because we all have the blood of the Shui family, please help me one last time! I know you are very smart, and the brains of all our sisters combined are not as good as yours. My grandmother can’t see me, and my mother can’t do anything. I have to rely on you, eldest sister!”

Shui Linglong was unmoved: "I really can't help you! This marriage was decided by my father. I can scheme against Xun Feng, but I can't disobey my father. I have received the invitation. As a eldest sister, I wish you all the best!" "

Shui Lingxi's expression turned cold: "Sister, what you said has no basis! You can't disobey your father. So when you were promised to the emperor to be the crown prince, how did you find the queen to marry on your behalf? According to me Look, among the five sisters, you are the least afraid of my father! You just don’t want to help me!”

“Okay, I really don’t want to help you, I admit it, you can go.”

"Sister..." Shui Lingxi hit a wall and turned around unhappily, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, so she could only move forward gloomily. At the gate of the palace, Mu Hua met her unexpectedly.

Looking closer, Mu Hua realized that this woman's appearance was even more beautiful than seen from a distance. Her skin was so white and tender that it could drip water, and every contour of her cheeks seemed to have been carefully crafted by God, so perfect that the world praised her. Mu Hua calmed down and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello."

Shui Lingxi looked at him doubtfully, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She asked, "Who are you?" She had a handsome face and extraordinary bearing. She was a little dazed, but the person who came out of the palace was very special. Wealth means wealth, so it should not be underestimated.

Mu Hua replied: "I am the prince's brother-in-law, Mu Hua. Who are you?"

 Zhuge Yu has a younger sister? Why hasn't she heard of it? Shui Lingxi was stunned for a moment: "I am the second sister of the Crown Princess, Shui Lingxi."

 Second sister? Mu Hua disliked Shui Linglong even more. How could he be so unfeeling towards his sister? This woman is disrespectful to her husband and mean to her sister. She is so... so heartless and unjust! Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Mu Hua forced out a calm tone: "I just accidentally saw you talking to my sister-in-law. You left very early and didn't even stay for a meal."

Shui Lingxi blinked awkwardly and said with a sneer: "Oh, that's it. I originally wanted to ask my eldest sister for help, but it seems... forget it, it's nothing! My sister-in-law is working hard, and I, as a younger sister, won't share her worries. Just solve the problem, don't add to her troubles."

Mu Hua frowned again: "What do you want from my sister-in-law? If I can help you, I can try."

Shui Lingxi almost thought she heard wrongly. Zhuge Yu's brother-in-law actually said he wanted to help her! This is like giving a pillow when you feel sleepy, which is very satisfying!

 “Actually, it’s like this, I...”

 “Lingxi.”

A clear, faint voice sounded softly across from the two of them. The two of them looked at the visitor at the same time, and saw a man in purple clothes standing in the wind.

"Is this happening?" Shui Linglong in Wisteria Court raised her eyebrows in surprise after listening to Wang's mother's report.

Mother Wang's smile faded a little: "Isn't that right? The old lady's appetite has not been very good since she suffered a stroke. On weekdays, if she can eat less than half of a bowl of bird's nest stew, everyone will be happy! This afternoon, the old lady even drank the soup. They were all drunk, and there was a smile on their face that they had never seen before! The servant felt strange, since the second young lady lost her position as the princess, the old lady did not think so highly of the second young lady! He made peace with Xun Feng and lost so much face in the Shangshu Mansion. The old lady no longer wanted to see the second young lady! So why was she so happy about the second young lady’s marriage? Therefore, the servant reminded the old lady that there was fresh fruit in the village. Do you want to give it to her? If you send it, the old lady is worried about her face and agrees, so that this slave can have a chance to talk to you." She showed off her merits very hard.

Shui Linglong's dim and dim eyes flashed with an indistinguishable light, and then she held her lips and said, "Mom is interested." She made a gesture, Zhi Fan understood, and turned around from the cabinet under Duobaoge. He took out a square brocade box.

Mother Wang smiled and said, "Where is it? I don't dare to take credit. It is my honor to serve my aunt." She glanced at Zhi Fan's movements from the corner of her eye. When the brocade box was handed to her hand, she opened it and was dumbfounded. It turned out to be a set of pure gold nuggets. She had followed the old lady for decades and received countless rewards, large and small, but she had never received any. After seeing such fine gold jewelry, she quickly closed the brocade box, stood up and bowed solemnly: "I am scared, my aunt's reward is too generous!"

Shui Linglong smiled elegantly: "Mom, please get up. These are vulgar things and cannot compare to my mother's thoughts."

Mama Wang blessed her body and said, "Thank you, auntie." After a few more greetings, Mama Wang was about to leave. After taking a few steps, she turned back and said, "By the way, auntie, did the second lady come to see you?"

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yeah, they said they asked me to find a way to arrange this marriage for her, but I refused."

“No wonder the second lady looks worried. She is really unhappy even when Mr. Li comes to the palace to pick her up. At any rate, my servant has seen how handsome Mr. Li is!”

Shui Linglong couldn't help but be surprised: "Master Li is here?"

The sky is getting dark, and the night stars quietly crawl out of the clouds, shining faint starlight in the sky that seems to be shrouded in a veil.

Shui Lingxi stood at the door and in the wind, but her expression was so stiff that it was unbelievable! She turned around cleverly, and the cold wind blew towards her from behind. She almost fell down the steps. Mu Hua stretched out his hand to help her, but there was a figure faster than Mu Hua, and he hugged her as she was shaking. , then, a voice with a hint of unknown smile slowly sounded: "Concubine Shui, I haven't seen you for so long, you are still as beautiful as ever. No wonder the peach blossoms are blooming everywhere, and you can't even take pictures!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a shocking thunder suddenly exploded in Shui Lingxi's mind. Who else could call her "Shui Side Concubine" besides Xun Feng, the expression-obsessed person? But this appearance and this voice don't belong to Xun Feng. What's going on?

Mu Hua frowned. A woman who had not yet left the court openly hugged a man for a long time. It was so immoral! It is almost a blasphemy to beauty that a woman with such a perfect appearance has bad moral character. It is so disappointing! Mu Hua looked at Shui Lingxi again, with an imperceptible repulsion in his eyes.

Li Jing's red lips curled up in a confounding arc, and she looked at Mu Hua, who had a look of disdain on her face, and said with a meaningful smile: "Your Excellency, this is Mu Hua, the second uncle of the royal family. With all due respect, I am Lingxi's fiancé, my name is Li Jing. "

　　It turned out to be his fiancé. Mu Hua's expression brightened slightly, but he still despised the behavior of the two of them in his heart. Both men and women despised it! After suppressing his negative emotions, Mu Hua said in his usual tone: "Master Li." Nothing more happened!

Li Jing smiled deeply and said, "Look at Mr. Mu's hurried look. Do you want to travel? Lingxi and I will give you a ride. We will all be our own people from now on."

Mu Hua said calmly: "No need, I'm just going to go for a walk on the street. There is a carriage in the palace. Please help yourself." After saying that, he glanced at the coachman diagonally opposite. The coachman drove over and he walked calmly on the ground. Got the carriage. As soon as he sat down on the soft couch, the curtains were opened from the outside, and a jade-like face broke into his sight. He frowned and heard Li Jing smile quietly: "Mr. Mu, have a good trip. "

Mu Hua couldn't help but shudder when he looked at his bright but cold smile. The sarcasm in his eyes reminded him of the meaningful smile Shangguan Yan gave him when he kidnapped Leng Youru, and said He said an inexplicable "You really have to thank me", and he was also so creepy at that time.

On the other side, Li Jing also hugged Shui Lingxi, who was shaking all over, and got into his carriage.

“Concubine Shui has probably forgotten how sweet we were in the past. Now I’m here to help Concubine Shui recall it...”

 "Don't...don't...go away...you don't want that...don't..."

 …

“You mean Shui Lingxi is afraid of him?” After hearing Mama Wang’s simple description, Shui Linglong expressed her doubts.

Mother Wang replied seriously: "It should be so. I just walked to the alley at the corner. Although I didn't hear what they talked about clearly, the second lady's whole face was white. When the carriage drove past the entrance of the alley, , the slave also heard faint cries and..." The following words were a bit difficult for Mother Wang to say, for fear of dirtying the eldest aunt's ears.

Shui Linglong wanted to get to the bottom of things: "With what?" Sexual abuse? Or beaten?

 Mother Wang’s smile was uglier than her cry: “There was a sound of tearing clothes. My uncle looked sanctimonious, but he didn’t expect to be so bold.”

Is this Xun Feng changing his vest and reappearing in the world? No wonder he couldn't be found. His pseudonym was "Li Jing" and he was a local businessman. Who suspected that he was involved? Shui Linglong stared: "I heard that Li Jing escorted his sister to Beijing for the draft. Do you know his sister's name?"

Mother Wang read the old lady’s letter and naturally knew: “My name is Li Wan.”

 At nightfall, Zhuge Yu returned home, and his brother and sister took a "mandarin duck bath" in the tub. Shui Linglong made two long bathing belts with thread, and her sister and brother each slept in one. Then she and Xiaoxia began to bathe the brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, my brother was so naughty that he reached out to touch my sister's arm and grabbed it hard without thinking. The elder sister was in pain and cried loudly, but the elder sister was not to be outdone and scratched her brother hard. At this time, my brother also started to cry loudly. Shui Linglong and Xiao Xia hurriedly picked up one of them. At such a young age, they have learned to fight.

I have to say that my brother's heart must be unbalanced. He is also his mother's child. Why is it that his younger sister is the one who feeds on his mother's milk and the younger sister sleeps with his father and mother at night? His sister woke up in the middle of the night, and his parents were very busy. When he woke up, he could only face his sleepy wet nurse. How could he feel embarrassed?

Shui Linglong patted her brother's **** and said sternly: "Don't bully my sister next time, you know?"

The brother looked pitifully at his sister who was sucking milk wantonly in Shui Linglong's arms, opened his mouth wide, and cried "Wow wow" even harder. As soon as Zhuge Yu walked into the hall, he heard his son's deafening howling, and wind broke out on the soles of his feet. , entered the house quickly, and the two children were fully dressed.

Zhuge Yu took his son from Xiao Xia's hand, looked at his daughter who was smiling sweetly at him with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, and then looked down at his son who was crying without any image, his face darkened: "Thankfully you are still my brother, you don't have any My sister is obedient! Look how good my sister is. She smiles at me when I come back. How about you? A man can bleed without crying, you know?

 “Wow—” Brother cried until he died...

 At night, after both brothers and sister fell asleep, Xiaoxia took her brother to the side room. Shui Linglong lay on her side next to her sister, staring intently at her sleeping face, leaving Zhuge Yu aside who was also intently staring at her. Zhuge Yu felt uncomfortable. His daughter was already asleep. Why was she staring at her? It’s time to give him some attention: “My lady!”

Shui Linglong turned around and looked at him: "Huh? What's wrong? You seem unhappy?"

Zhuge Yu hugged her into his arms and kissed her white snowy neck gently: "You should think about what I told you before."

Shui Linglong was slightly tickled by the kiss, she laughed softly and pushed him away with her hand. Zhuge Yu was rejected, so he simply took her fingertips into his mouth. The warm tongue traced her fingers carefully, and a small electric current hit Shui Linglong's mind. Shui Linglong's body trembled slightly, and she hummed comfortably: "...If I think about it again, I will give the same answer: I won't go. "

"The hot springs in Lihua Town are very famous. There are all kinds of small fish in them, which is very interesting! It is also close to the capital, so we can go there for a day and a night." Zhuge Yu followed the temptation.

Shui Linglong was unmoved: "My son can bear it, but my sister can't. She has a weak body and is bouncing around all the way. She's afraid of getting sick."

 Zhuge Yu smiled mysteriously: "Who said we have children? It's just you and me."

Shui Linglong couldn't laugh anymore: "No! I can't bear the children not being around!"

Zhuge Yu wrinkled up his handsome face in grievance, and imitated his son's tactics: "After we have children, you no longer belong to me. You always ignore me, always ignore me, and always give me a seat." Standing on the bench, hum!"

"Is it that serious?" Shui Linglong looked at him with disbelief.

 Zhuge Yu nodded like a fool: "Absolutely! The time you spend looking at me every day is not even one third of the time you spend watching them!"

"Oh, it's my Xiaoyu who is jealous. How old is he? Are you ashamed to be jealous of a baby?" Shui Linglong smiled and raised her hand to wrap around his neck, saying softly: "I'll make it up to you tonight."

Zhuge Yu's obsidian eyes flashed with narrowness. He hugged her and spun her around in the air. Shui Linglong was so shocked that she almost screamed when she found that he was holding her and leaving the bed: "Where are you going?"

The corners of Zhuge Yu's lips curled up with an evil charm: "You are always distracted when you are around children." Before he finished speaking, he had already carried her into the clean room.

The moonlight shines through the window and slants on Shuilong's delicate body with icy muscles and jade bones. After giving birth, she has a bit more charming charm of a young woman than before she was pregnant. She raises her head, bows her body, and sighs. , a shallow chant, all exuding endless charm. Zhuge Yu was so fascinated that he was completely insatiable.
