After He Mingqiu left, Lin Chuqian opened the door and jumped out, looked at He Changsheng inside the room and blinked innocently a few times.
The light outside the window was cold and soft, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and the lines of his side face were smooth and elegant, as if he was very focused on handling official business.
It seemed that he was not the one who scolded He Mingqiu coldly just now.
Nan Shan came over from the outside and saw her shout: "Miss Lin."
He Changsheng turned his head to the side when he heard that, Lin Chuqian hurriedly avoided his sight, and walked back to the eaves pretending to be nonchalant.
Nanshan glanced at her suspiciously, went into the room and told He Changsheng about the trivial things that happened in the mansion recently.
Lin Chuqian held her face thoughtfully, although she pricked up her ears, she didn't care to listen to the trivial things in the house that Nanshan said.
It's just that the thirteen aunts in He Rencheng are fighting openly and secretly for favor and want to be the top.
Thinking of Aunt Liu, she couldn't help but sneered again. Who would have thought that ten years had passed since she brought down Tan Zirong, not only did she not become Mrs. He, but she also had several more powerful competitors.
Thirteen aunts, it took more than half a month for each of them to take turns to serve.
No matter how well Aunt Liu took care of her, she couldn't bear the ruthlessness of the years, and no matter how charming and gentle she was, she couldn't bear the coquettishness and charm of a young and beautiful woman.
tsk—
It's ridiculous.
Unknowingly, the sky was getting darker, Nanshan lit the lamp, set up the dinner and retreated out.
This was the first time the two had eaten together.
Lin Chuqian was thinking about something, a little absent-minded.
"Miss Lin laughed today." He Changsheng said suddenly.
She was slightly stunned, and realized that he was referring to He Mingqiu's matter, and shook her head with a dry smile. "Prime Minister He is serious. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. I can understand."
He Changsheng took a deep look at her, lowered his head, picked up the vegetables and ate them into his mouth. After swallowing them slowly, he said in a flat tone, "Aunt Liu poisoned my mother."
"..." Lin Chuqian paused, caught off guard that the mouthful of food in her mouth could not be eaten up or down, which was really embarrassing.
"It was just a suspicion at first." He Changsheng said kindly while eating: "After some investigation later, I found out that she had poisoned the cakes. Every time I called my mother to her yard, I brought out the cakes for her to eat. As time passed, The poisoning is getting deeper and deeper, and by the time the poison occurs, there is no way to recover."
His tone was too flat.
It was as natural as telling her a little folk story with dinner.
Lin Chuqian felt that this story was not good at all, she silently put down the bowl and chopsticks, without any sympathy in her heart, and even complained.
"Lingtang is really greedy."
If he could be more vigilant, he wouldn't eat the cakes in Aunt Liu's house.
But at that time, Lin Chuqian was stupid, thinking that it was just a few pieces of pastries, so eat more if they tasted good. Who knew that every time Aunt Liu watched her eat with a smile, she was counting the days of her poisonous hair with her fingers in her heart. .
When He Changsheng heard her words, a crack appeared on his face, and he couldn't refute for a moment. "What Miss Lin said...is also reasonable."
The atmosphere fell into an embarrassment.
Lin Chuqian picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and buried her head in the rice.She lowered her head and picked up a few pieces of meat, which was not elegant.
He Changsheng was completely different from her. He ate his meals slowly and seldom made any other sounds except talking. He glanced at her inadvertently, and there was a little smile in his eyes for no reason.
It was embarrassing to dine with him, and Lin Chuqian had no appetite, and within a quarter of an hour, she had put down the half-empty bowl again.
"Miss Lin, have you eaten?" He Changsheng asked.
Lin Chuqian nodded. "Well, Prime Minister He is taking it easy."
So, Lin Chuqian began to look at him eating gracefully and steadily again in embarrassment. She wanted to leave but felt that it was not good. She couldn't help complaining about why it was so hard for him to eat.
Suddenly, when he picked up the emerald green leaves again, Lin Chuqian frowned and realized something was wrong.
"Isn't Prime Minister He a vegetarian and no meat?"
There were three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish on the table. The three meat dishes were placed on Lin Chuqian's side, and He Changsheng had only one vegetarian dish.Although he also ate the other three dishes, he picked and ate the vegetables and fruits in them.
I didn't see him eat a bite of meat.
He Changsheng also finished eating at this time, and after cleaning his hands, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth.
"My mother once said that you can grow taller by eating more vegetables."
Lin Chuqian was taken aback, and silently looked at him who was seven feet tall, thinking that what he had lied to him casually back then made him take it so seriously.He couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh: "Prime Minister He's filial piety is enough to move the heavens and the earth."
He Changsheng smiled without saying a word, silently watching her with her head bowed in guilt.
-
After nightfall, Lin Chuqian went back to her room silently after dinner, while He Changsheng went back to his study and worked hard.
The room of the two was separated by a short passage, and Lin Chuqian's door was closed tightly, lying on the bed and watching the snowflakes flying outside.
They lived in peace for a long time, and after midnight, they blew out the candles and went to sleep peacefully.
The room was dim and the charcoal fire was burning. Lin Chuqian kept turning with her eyes open.
Tossing and turning, she lifted the quilt and sat up abruptly, reached out and rubbed her stomach, feeling a little hungry.
Because of He Changsheng, she didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food for dinner.
At this time, her belly was growling, and she couldn't fall asleep even though she was already upset. Looking at the faint light of the charcoal fire, she had an idea, put on her shoes, and slipped out of the room lightly.
Although her ankle was injured, fortunately she was not disabled. Although it was inconvenient for her to walk, she could still walk like flying with a limp.
In the dead of night, the backyard of He Mansion was as silent as a deep well.
Except for the soft moonlight, there was almost no other light, so she pushed open the door of the yard and slipped into the next yard.
Among the broken walls, a large snow-covered sweet potato vine grew out of the burnt-out yard.
Lin Chuqian stepped forward happily and dug out two fist-sized sweet potatoes.
-
The night is dark.
There was still a light on in the backyard of He Mansion, He Mingqiu sat in front of the dressing table, listening carefully to the maid beside him.
"Miss, the servant went to the kitchen and asked carefully. The fourth young master's diet has always been light, but for some reason, the taste has changed a lot recently. It is delicious."
He Mingqiu's hand combing his hair paused, and asked in a low voice: "Did the concierge say who he brought back to the house?"
"The concierge didn't find anything unusual." The servant girl looked at her cautiously, not understanding her intentions.
"Someone must be living in his yard." The pig's head pattern in the snow flashed through He Mingqiu's mind, and she felt weird even after thinking about it.
There are only three people who can enter and leave the courtyard, He Changsheng, Nanshan and Youran, but none of these three people can draw a pig's head pattern in the snow without losing their childlike innocence.
No matter who it was, He Changsheng definitely didn't want to be discovered.
If she could know who that person was, it would be equivalent to grabbing him, and she could use this to get what she wanted.
After making up her mind, she put down the comb, beckoned the servant girl to come over, and whispered carefully.
The servant girl nodded repeatedly, and then took advantage of the night to sneak into the backyard quietly.
-
On the surface everything was business as usual.
Lin Chuqian was still squatting on the ground, sweet potato. It was cold in the night, and fine snowflakes fell on her body. The coldness that slowly penetrated made her tremble belatedly.
She grabbed two sweet potatoes and limped back.
Foraging for food at night, she would not accept anyone but the wall.Walking along the wall, it took a while to reach the yard.
It was dead of night at this time, and she was also worried about disturbing He Changsheng, so she moved back to her room as lightly as possible, lest she would make any noise.
With sweet potatoes in my arms, I was cold and hungry, and I just wanted to go back and squat under the covers to roast sweet potatoes and eat them.
In the end, she finally found her way back to the room, and before she opened the door, she noticed a figure shaking in the room.
Could it be that He Changsheng came into her room with a human face and animal heart in secret, trying to sneak attack her?
The weird thought flashed by, but she snuffed it out because she recognized the figure of a woman.
Although the night was dark, the windows were not closed, and the moonlight fell on the ground bleakly, against the blurred figure of the woman, who was slowly approaching the bed.
Lin Chuqian immediately understood the other party's intention.
This is to see if He Changsheng has Jinwu Zangjiao here.
After she figured it out, she backed out without showing a trace, and after thinking about it, she turned around silently and walked into He Changsheng's room.
The room was dark and unclear, but Lin Chuqian was very familiar with the furnishings in the room, and could touch the bedside with her eyes closed.
She touched the soft quilt smoothly, and through the moonlight outside the window, she possessed herself and saw his face clearly.
In his deep sleep, his features were clear and delicate, but there were some vague traces of his youth.
Lin Chuqian stretched out her hand to poke his face, but just as she poked it, she was grabbed by a pair of gentle and strong palms, and the other party caught her off guard by surprise.
I could only feel the strands of hair brushing across my cheeks, but I couldn't tell if it was his or my own.
When he came back to his senses, he had already been pressed on the bed. When he propped himself up on the bed and leaned over to see her, his deep eyes flickered with some indistinct emotion.
The atmosphere is awkward, and the lingering ambiguity seems to be absent.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lin Chuqian, who reacted extremely quickly, immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
She opened her mouth and said in a very low voice, "Someone sneaked in, and it's in my room."
He Changsheng nodded slightly and blinked at her.
Lin Chuqian only felt the warm and soft touch of the palm was very hot, silently withdrew her hand, swallowed hard, her face was on fire.
-
There are no sweet potatoes in the field in winter, the heroine can dig it purely because of the needs of the plot, children should remember not to try it lightly.
