《General is Pregnant》


 C1

    great swallow, thirteen years old. April, when the peach blossoms were flying in the sky.


    It was drizzling and there were very few tourists in the Peach Blossom Garden near the capital city. The Peach Blossom Garden was filled with peach trees and the falling petals and the rain water had dyed the path towards the Peach Blossom Lake into a Yan Hong.


    A tall girl dressed in silver armor was standing in a bamboo pavilion by the lake. Her long eyebrows that flew into her hair, her nose that was straight, and her pale lips that were tightly pursed revealed a trace of unswerving determination. Her long and narrow eyes were tainted with strong happiness and sweet anticipation. Her slender hands tightly gripped a set of note s. From time to time, she would lift them up to take a close look, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.


    She was Great General of the West Ling Shuang, who had just returned from a successful return. Ten years ago, Eldest Miss of a military family and the first Fang Family of the Book Incense School were engaged to each other.


    It was just that the situation had changed suddenly. The northern Wuhuan had invaded the battlefield, causing both Duke of Ling and his eldest son to die, and his second son suffered from a strange disease. Ling Shuang, who had been a martial arts expert since he was young, had no choice but to represent his elder brother on the battlefield. This trip lasted for ten years, and ten years later, she returned victorious and married into the Fang Family.


    The note in her hands was sent over by Fang Family Fang Heng, inviting her to meet at the Peach Blossom Garden.


    A familiar footstep sound came out from the peach forest, causing Ling Shuang to immediately look over, her expression startled.


    The person who came was not only the Fang Lang that she missed for ten years, but also her sister Ling Wan. Ling Wan was an orphan daughter that Ling Shuang''s father, Duke of Ling, had picked up from the battlefield over a decade ago.


    Only, at this moment, the scene of the two of them walking over side by side caused Ling Shuang to frown slightly, and she unconsciously covered her heart. ~ Strange, this morning, Ling Wan made her favorite thousand layer cake, after eating it, she felt uncomfortable. However, even though she had an appointment with Fang Lang, and had experienced all sorts of pains before, she still hurried over to meet it.


    Fang Heng was dressed in a embroidered robe with thin bamboo patterns, looking extremely different from the green silk dress Ling Wan was wearing.


    Ling Shuang''s heart tensed up again.


    "Elder Sis," Ling Wan''s charming face carried a trace of malevolence, and when Ling Shuang saw this, her eyes widened with shock, "Elder Sis, I and Fang Lang are in love with each other, I beg Elder Sis to grant our wish."


    "What did you say?!" As if he was struck by lightning, Ling Shuang staggered back a few steps, and looked at Fang Heng in disbelief.


    "Fang Heng, give me an explanation!" Ling Shuang only felt a tremendous pain coming from his chest.


    A hint of panic flashed across Fang Heng''s handsome face, and he immediately replied coldly. "Ling Shuang, I like Wan''er.


    "Fang Heng! You... What did you say? " Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes were dyed with endless despair and despair. How was this possible? Ten years of love between childhood and childhood for nothing more than this?


    "Fang Lang!" "I''ll talk to Elder Sis, go wait for me outside the peach forest," Ling Wan smiled at Fang Heng.


    Fang Heng sighed, and started to leave.


    "Fang Heng! Stop right there! " Ling Shuang shouted.


    Fang Heng''s body stiffened, yet he quickly turned around and left the peach forest. His own attitude was very clear, and words were useless.


    Only the two Ling Family sisters were left in the bamboo pavilion.


    "Ling Wan, are you worthy of me doing this? I treat you as my own sister! " Ling Shuang''s voice trembled slightly as she raised her hand to slap her. However, Ling Wan easily caught her wrist.


    As soon as Ling Shuang used all her strength, a sharp pain hit him, causing him to be unable to use any strength from her entire body, she stared at Ling Wan.


    "Elder Sis, did you eat the thousand layer cake smoothly this morning?"


    "You poisoned me?" Ling Shuang could not believe her eyes as she stared at her sister. When Ling Wan first entered the house, she was wearing no clothes, and her face was thin and yellow. She had treated her with sincerity, yet she had betrayed him in exchange, Ling Shuang felt sad, disappointed, and unwilling ¡­


    "This ¡­" Bitch! " The black blood at the corner of Ling Shuang''s mouth flowed out, the pain seemed to have scorched her. She wanted to pounce over and tear that hypocritical face of Ling Wan''s, but her body became colder and colder.


    "Elder Sis, I''ve already calculated the time for my poison. Have you been waiting here for an hour? The timing is right, I know that the people from the Wuhuan have been trying to assassinate you recently, so no one would suspect me even if you died here. The relationship between us is obvious, isn''t it? Elder Sis? "


    "Ling Wan, you will be punished!"


    "You ¡­" Ling Shuang suddenly glared at Ling Wan''s lower abdomen.


    Ling Wan smiled slightly and said slowly, "Ling Shuang, let me tell you a piece of good news. Fang''er will send someone to bring me into the Fang Residence today. Old Madam Ling has already agreed to it. Although I cannot officially marry her, I believe that the position of Fang Family''s Eldest Young Mistress will sooner or later be mine. Children are the most important thing! "


    Ling Shuang''s vision gradually turned black, the poison aura was attacking her heart.


    Ling Wan''s cold laughter resonated in her ears. "Elder Sis, just you wait! I will live a happy life for you! "


    Ling Shuang vomited a mouthful of black blood.


    The pain was akin to being slashed by countless sharp blades, causing one to wish they could die once more.


    A touch of coolness caressed her forehead, and Lin Shuang slowly opened her eyes. What entered her eyes was a haggard little girl wiping her forehead with a thin veil of water.


    Lin Shuang''s heart skipped a beat. Where was this?


    Lin Shuang was one of the top agents in China, and because she was tracking down the National Treasure blood jade, she met those international thieves in the underground palace. After a fierce battle, they stole the National Treasure blood jade but they never thought it would fall into a trap tunnel in the underground palace.


    However, why did she appear in this ancient looking room? She fiercely closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the scene before her eyes was still as clear as ever. It did not seem like an illusion.


    Lin Shuang''s heart skipped a beat. Such a clear sense of touch, such a clear picture, could it be ¡­


    She could not help but smile wryly, but her head started to hurt. She hugged her head with all her might as if there was something deep in her memory that was gradually floating up.

 C2

    "Howl!" Lin Shuang groaned in pain.


    "Shuang Er! Shuang Er! Doctor, quickly come and see how is our Shuang Er doing? "


    Lin Shuang looked at the anxious old lady who was wiping away her tears. All her memories were reflected in her mind. He had initially transmigrated to the body of a female general named Ling Shuang, but this woman had died in a too useless manner.


    No matter what, from today onwards, he would be the other Ling Shuang.


    She really felt that it wasn''t worth it for this woman. It was inconceivable that a trash like her would have to wait for ten years. And there was also that very sinister girl. From now on, she would definitely peel off a layer of her skin. She was too vicious!


    "Shuang Er, are you better now? Ling Wan that little bitch, the Grandmother has already helped you kick the Ling Residence out. It''s fine if we don''t want it! "


    Ling Shuang looked at Grandmother in front of him and slowly nodded: "Grandmother, I''m a bit tired. I want to rest for a while."


    "Please help me up," Ling Shuang said slowly.


    Cha Zi was obviously startled, although the Eldest Miss was kind, but her temper was never as good as this and she spoke to the servants. She quickly helped Ling Shuang up.


    "Help me comb my makeup, I want to make a trip to Fang Family," Ling Shuang said as he coldly looked at the pale white face in the copper mirror.


    Lin Shuang had also been betrayed by her boyfriend before she had transmigrated to this world. She did not expect that she would have to experience this again. She could not help but feel a chill in her teeth.


    Ling Shuang, oh Ling Shuang, this time I will live a good life for you.


    The pair of phoenix eyes in the bronze mirror suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented brilliance, causing one''s heart to palpitate.


    Ling Shuang ordered Cha Zi to tie up her hair with a silver ribbon at the back of her head, making him look even more heroic.


    Cha Zi also didn''t expect her Eldest Miss to comb her hair like this. Could it be ¡­ Are you mad?


    Who would have thought that the Second Miss would have a child with the Young Master Fang?


    Three days later, Ling Shuang arrived at the Fang Residence on her horse. The Fang Residence was quickly surrounded by people, watching the show.


    Just as Ling Family''s concubine Ling Wan was carried into the Fang Residence, Ling Shuang chased after his.


    The people of the Fang Residence did not dare be rash, and immediately went to inform Fang Heng.


    Fang Heng slowly walked out, with exhaustion and disgust between his brows, his tone also slowed down a bit. "Ling Shuang, why do you have to go through so much trouble ¡­"


    Ling Shuang felt extremely relaxed after destroying the marriage certificate in front of Fang Heng. The servant Yan Hong who had just entered the Ling Residence on her horse hurriedly came up to welcome her, looking extremely anxious.


    "Eldest Miss, the leader of the palace has arrived. Let Eldest Miss follow the old lady into the palace."


    Ling Shuang frowned, she had lost to the three hundred thousand Steel Cavalry of the Wuhuan this time, it was true that she had contributed a lot, it was rather shocking. Since ancient times, the Emperor had always been wary of powerful generals, but now, the military power in her hands should be how she dealt with them. Presumably, the one at the head of the palace was already furious to the point of burning his eyebrows.


    She followed the Old Madam Ling to the west side of the palace city in her carriage, and followed the long palace path through the side door into the rear palace grounds.


    Wherever Ling Shuang went, she attracted strange and curious gazes, some had admiration, some were amazed, and some even despised him. From the moment Ling Shuang returned from the triumphant return, to him being reneged on the marriage by the Fang Family, the change in her situation was dazzling.


    "Old Madam Ling, General Ling, the empress dowager is waiting at the Eternal Life Palace. Follow me," Eunuch He bowed and brought the Old Madam Ling and Ling Shuang to the Eternal Life Palace.


    Ling Shuang suppressed her curiosity towards the ancient harem and tried her best to calm down, not revealing her identity.


    "This humble woman pays respects to the empress dowager!" Old Madam Ling pulled Ling Shuang to her knees and kowtowed.


    "Get up," the empress dowager said as she sat upright on her rosewood bed. She was old but couldn''t hide her peerless beauty. Her elegance and elegance brought with it a chill that chilled one''s heart.


    "Give seats to Old Madam Ling and General Ling!"


    "Thank you, empress dowager." The Old Madam Ling brought Ling Shuang and gently sat on the embroidered block.


    When she was young, the empress dowager and Old Madam Ling were already familiar with each other, and wanted to chat a little. However, when the topic changed, she looked at the silent Ling Shuang and slowly said, "How old is General Ling?"


    Ling Shuang was startled, but Old Madam Ling''s face revealed a hint of shame as she replied, "Reporting to the empress dowager, Shuang Er is twenty this year ¡­ Three. "


    Ling Shuang looked at Old Madam Ling''s painful appearance, and laughed in her heart, Is my age so hard to accept?


    The empress dowager muttered, "That''s right! At this age, he must be the mother of a few children in the capital. "


    Ling Shuang resisted the urge to laugh and did not reply, saying that she made more mistakes.


    "Since that''s the case, why don''t we find a suitable young master from a noble family and get married? If there are any candidates, the Ling Family can suggest them. With the Emperor''s support, I believe no one would dare say no. "


    When the empress dowager said this, Old Madam Ling and Ling Shuang felt that it was as if they were looking at a mirror.


    The best way for the Emperor to take back the military power in Ling Shuang''s hands was to let her marry. However, after the matter with the Fang Family came to light, Ling Shuang did not have the heart to marry anymore.


    No matter how clear the words were, as long as Ling Shuang sees anything, the Emperor will grant him a marriage.


    "However, that blind brat doesn''t deserve to be with General Ling at all. Since General Ling is so deep in love, I believe there''s still a good marriage waiting," the empress dowager smiled, since Fang Xiu Wen was the prime minister, Emperor could not punish Fang Heng too much, and only hoped that Ling Shuang could see better.


    The corner of Ling Shuang''s mouth twitched. Fang Family, that trash of a man, forget it? However, her reputation as an infatuated person had actually spread to the royal palace?


    The empress dowager had also finished speaking her piece. Old Madam Ling sat for a while as she brought Ling Shuang out of the palace, yet she brought her into the carriage and hugged her tightly while crying, "Shuang Er, Grandmother apologizes to you. Grandmother knows that all the noble sons of families that are worth looking at in the capital city are already married, and the rest that aren''t even worth mentioning are naturally Shuang Er who troubled me. "


    Seeing that Old Madam Ling was crying so bitterly, Ling Shuang had to console her: "Don''t worry, Grandmother, I will slowly think over this matter."


    She ordered someone to bring Grandmother back to Ling Family, but she herself was a little troubled and wandered around the streets. She didn''t think that she would be forced into marriage the moment she teleported to this world.


    The more Ling Shuang thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She casually walked into a restaurant and asked for a jug of wine and a few dishes.


    "General Ling! Drinking wine alone is so boring, "a frivolous voice sounded out. Ling Shuang frowned as he looked over, and couldn''t help but be startled.

 C3

    What entered his eyes was a beautiful face that could shake the world. Her face was as transparent as water, yet as cold as ice. Feng Shen is beautiful, full of color, bright and clear, shaped like a lotus. Gu Panpan sees the unparalleled beauty. It was just that she looked a bit seductive. It would have been great if she was a woman.


    Ling Shuang frowned, she did everything she could to not be able to remember who this was, where had she seen this person before?


    "Who are you?" Ling Shuang wasn''t polite in the slightest. She wasn''t in the mood to get entangled with an unfamiliar man. Especially this flirty man wearing pink peach blossoms embroidered on his clothes.


    "This humble one is Fang Yu, how could General Ling not remember this one, this is truly sentimental," the person casually sat in front of Ling Shuang, gently caressing the expensive black jade thumb ring, his eyes filled with deep emotion.


    "Ha!" Ling Shuang finally remembered. Fang Yu was a famous playboy in the capital, and was Fang Heng''s younger brother, who was also a half-brother. When Ling Shuang joined the army back then, this guy was only ten years old.


    Perhaps, even if he was more disgusted with the people of the Fang Family, Ling Shuang''s words did not contain a trace of politeness as he coldly said: "Could it be that you are the number one hedonist in the capital, Fang Yu? Zhang Tai was the one who walked the horses, sang the song to the birds, dug the mausoleum and knocked on the widow''s door. He is the strongest in the capital? "


    Fang Yu was startled, his peach blossom eyes immediately flowed with light, as if he liked Ling Shuang''s sarcastic evaluation and couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    "Good!" To be able to receive such a high evaluation from the General Ling, I would have no regrets even if I were to die here. "


    "Since you know her, please scram a little further away." Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes trembled.


    Fang Yu was not intimidated by Ling Shuang''s killing intent in the slightest, instead, his eyes revealed a weird expression that was hard to detect. He put away the folding fan in his hand, bent over and smiled slowly at Ling Shuang: "General Ling must have gotten forced into a wedding by someone for drinking wine here?"


    Ling Shuang raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, she realised that this playboy was not so simple.


    "What do you mean?"


    "General Ling," Fang Yu''s face became solemn, "Why don''t you consider me? The number one hedonist in the capital with the number one female general in great swallow. What is General Ling''s opinion? "


    Swish! Ling Shuang suddenly stood up, the treasure sword in her hand pointed towards the calm and composed Fang Yu, his phoenix eyes blushing with a cold light: "Second Young Master Fang, are you trying to take liberties with me?"


    He had followed Ling Shuang for close to ten years, and this was the only keepsake that Duke of Ling had left for his daughter after her death in battle. Right now, the keepsake was on Fang Heng''s neck, releasing a faint blue light.


    Fang Yu calmly took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and raised his eyebrows at Ling Shuang: "You hate my brother so much? Or can you forget him? "


    "Scram!" Ling Shuang really did not want to have anything to do with the Fang Family, especially this brat who had an extremely evil and unknown origin.


    "Ai!" Fang Yu slowly stood up. With a light flick of his finger, he moved a few kilograms, and the sword in Ling Shuang''s hand was actually pushed back a few inches.


    "You ¡­" Ling Shuang was extremely surprised, although she had teleported here, the martial arts in her body did not dissipate even a little. However, the inner strength of the slutty man in front of her was even more unfathomable. He easily forced the sword out of her hand.


    Fang Yu did not mind Ling Shuang''s shocked expression in the slightest as he laughed blandly, "Ling Shuang, if I''m not wrong, His Majesty will definitely find you a good marriage today. Whether you like it or not, once the imperial edict is issued, you will have no choice. "


    Ling Shuang stared coldly at Fang Yu with her phoenix eyes: "Who would have thought that the Second Young Master of Fang Family would actually be so secretive? But it''s not up to someone to point fingers at me. "


    She kept her sword back into the sword sheath and turned to leave, but was blocked by Fang Yu in front of her.


    "Sigh!" Why are you doing this? All the good men in the capital have already been married. There are still a few who haven''t gotten married yet who have left home. There aren''t many left.


    He tried to make Ling Shuang want to kill him.


    "Weibei''s bastard son lost one of his legs. Duke of Chen''s bastard son did not even know if he had recovered from the attack when he was young. "As for the son of the censor Lord Zhao, he''s quite tall and fit for you. I just heard that he likes men ¡­"


    "Fang Yu, it''s enough!" Ling Shuang gnashed her teeth.


    Fang Yu lifted her hand slightly and hooked it under Ling Shuang''s chin. Ling Shuang was instantly stunned, in this world, could there be a man more shameless than this person?


    "General Ling, actually, I have loved you for a long time," Fang Yu said as he gently caressed her chin.


    "Pah!" Ling Shuang slapped Fang Yu hard, yet his face was so red that blood could drip out.


    She had always been a cold-hearted and introverted woman. Even before she transmigrated, she only held onto her little hand. She didn''t expect that she would be taken advantage of. She really wanted to kill this fellow, but the other party''s martial arts foundation was not something to be trifled with. She could only take a step back.


    "General Ling," Fang Yu was not annoyed by Ling Shuang''s slap, he rubbed his face and laughed wickedly, "How about this slap as a betrothal gift?"


    "Humph!" Ling Shuang left the restaurant as if she was escaping, looking a little embarrassed. After walking a few steps, she quickly stopped and took a deep breath. She was so good that Great General of the West had to keep him steady and not be angry.


    She rubbed her cheeks and thought, there really isn''t a good bird in Fang Family, it is really a perverted place to produce treasures. She was suddenly very glad that she had broken the engagement with the Fang Family.


    After experiencing this, Ling Shuang no longer dared to wander around. What that fellow said was right. The old emperor definitely wouldn''t let this go easily. He might even point out the possibility of a man getting married. What should he do?


    Just as she returned to her own residence, she heard Cha Zi''s indignant voice coming from inside.


    "They are all blind. Our Eldest Miss is not bad at all, are they not worthy of one of her Lin Clan''s bastard sons?"


    "Sister Cha Zi, didn''t the madame send Madame Wang to the He manor to speak with the Zhang family?"


    "Don''t mention it, these few are really thick, but they despise us Eldest Miss s for being too old."


    "Not really. He''s at most six years old."


    Ling Shuang was very annoyed if she did not want to continue listening. No wonder the Old Madam Ling was so anxious about her marriage, she could understand it a little now.


    The few girls hurriedly welcomed Ling Shuang in and helped him change out of her outer clothes to prepare the bath soup for her.


    Ling Shuang was soaking in the bath barrel, she slowly closed her eyes and relaxed. Forced marriage, forced marriage, it was practically forcing her to her death. The madame was afraid that she would marry some random person, so she decided to do it in advance. But who would dare to marry a woman who had killed countless people in ten years of war?


    "Who is it!" Yan Hong''s voice suddenly came out from the outer hall. These two girls both knew martial arts, and were extremely vigilant even if there were any movements on the grass.


    She kicked the window open with one leg and jumped out, only to see that the courtyard was filled with black-clothed people all over the place.

 C4

    Ling Shuang knew that these people were here for her, but who did she offend before? It looked like she was about to lose her life. She gripped her sword tightly and leapt out of the courtyard. Even if she had to take action, she did not want to implicate the rest of the Ling Residence.


    How could the black-clothed men give Ling Shuang time to escape? They all chased until they reached a hill. Ling Shuang fought with the rest of the people, and Cha Zi and Yan Hong also flew over, but the more they surrounded the man in black, the harder it was to determine who was stronger.


    Standing not too far away from the mountain slope was a young man dressed in profound colored clothes. He looked extremely handsome, and his clear, cold eagle eyes actually overflowed with a bloodthirsty chill.


    Ling Shuang was dressed in jade like clothes, her snow-like skin shone brightly under the moonlight, her feet were actually bare, bringing along a natural charm.


    The eagle-eyed man slightly narrowed his eyes. ''Is this the woman?'' Heh! Today is the day you die!


    With a clear sound, the man in black robes swung the nine iron whips in his hands with boundless power. The whips refined the poison and were extremely vicious.


    Ling Shuang was a little weak this time, she did not expect that her stronger opponent would actually hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity. She brandished her sword to block the attack.


    Looking at her phoenix eyes, her heart couldn''t help but throb.


    "Hey!" It''s not appropriate for so many men to bully a girl, right? " Fang Yu nimbly dodged the blade light and sword images, raised his hand and actually lifted Ling Shuang up by his waist, and swung him away. The folding fan in his hand knocked the black clothed man''s steel whip away.


    The black clothed man was completely dumbstruck this time. If Ling Shuang was already strong enough, then this person''s skills were deep and unfathomable.


    "Let''s go!" The man in black knew that it would be futile to fight on and quickly retreated away from the hillside with his subordinates.


    "Cough, cough!" Ling Shuang s blood gushed out in one breath.


    "Why do you have to suffer?" The pity in Fang Yu''s eyes could not be real, and he took out the kernels to wipe off the sweat on his face.


    Ling Shuang wanted to push him away, but was hit by Fang Yu''s acupoint, causing him to be shocked: "You?"


    "Don''t be afraid! Fang Yu lifted her up horizontally as he walked towards the main entrance of the Ling Residence.


    "What are you doing? Put me down first! " Ling Shuang knew that now that he was dressed like this, after being carried by him into the Ling Residence, he would no longer be able to get married.


    However, Fang Yu did not have any intention to let go, his footsteps slowed down, as though he was taking a stroll in the courtyard.


    Ling Shuang felt like her head was two heads big, it was really humiliating to be forced to walk like this.


    "Fang Yu, do you believe that I won''t kill you?"


    "Don''t argue with me," Fang Yu said as he stopped in his tracks. He lowered his head and looked at the angry Ling Shuang in his arms, "General Ling seems to have forgotten herself quite greatly.


    Ling Shuang complained in her heart, this man was sinister, cunning, and was strong enough to hold a grudge, how could she be unlucky enough to meet with such a shameful person?


    "Fang Yu, let me down first. We will have a good talk," Ling Shuang was not stupid.


    Fang Yu carried her and sat on a Tai Hu stone. He carefully placed her on the side and said, "Are you finally willing to listen to my thoughts?"


    Ling Shuang gasped for breath, "Release my acupoints first."


    "What if you run?" Fang Yu stared at Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes.


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes flashed. Could it be that this person had mental reading skills?


    "You really aren''t obedient," Fang Yu once again seized her into his arms.


    "Fang Yu, you can kill but not humiliate!" Ling Shuang was really going to go berserk.


    "Be a bit more obedient, and listen to what I have to say," Fang Yu laughed, and tightly held Ling Shuang, the strength in his body was just barely enough to suppress the Qi in his body in an attempt to unlock her acupuncture points.


    Ling Shuang sighed at the sky, "Alright! What are you trying to do by pestering me like this? "


    "How about a deal?"


    "What kind of deal?" Ling Shuang was really going crazy.


    The playful expression on Fang Yu''s face completely disappeared, and there was actually a hint of hatred in his eyes. However, an unfathomable smile appeared on his face as he slowly said: "You must hate my big brother to death, don''t you want to take revenge? Think about it, if you were to marry the Fang Family, those people''s expressions would definitely be very interesting. "


    Ling Shuang''s heart stopped for a moment, this man seemed to hate Fang Family, is he not Second Young Master?


    "Sorry, I think you''re wrong, I don''t hate Fang Heng at all, he is currently nothing in my eyes."


    Fang Yu looked at Ling Shuang''s ice-cold phoenix eyes, and said with an astonished smile: "Alright, even so, can you still find a husband who is more suitable for you than me?"


    "Cut the crap, what''s your deal?" Ling Shuang interrupted him coldly.


    Fang Yu smiled slightly: "Awesome! I like women like you! "


    Ling Shuang shuddered and rolled her eyes.


    Fang Yu felt that this general was getting more and more interesting and could not help but laugh: "Ling Shuang, you are in deep trouble now, the people who killed you were sent by the Wuhuan."


    Ling Shuang''s body trembled. It really was them. Since she had forced the Wuhuan''s Commander, General Helian Ming, to death, the disciples of the Helian Family would naturally not let him off.


    Fang Yu continued: "If you were to remain in the Ling Family, it would certainly bring about a calamity to the Ling Family, and it is no wonder that it would bring calamity to the Fang Family. Furthermore, the patience of the Emperor is probably running out. Do you really want to get engaged so casually? "If I marry you, it''ll be considered helping you out!"


    "What do you want?" Ling Shuang looked back at Fang Yu coldly. She did not believe that this world had good intentions for no reason.


    Fang Yu looked at her with praise: "Accompany me in a show in Fang Family, how about half a year?"


    Ling Shuang suddenly understood, the Fang Family was also a hundred-year large clan, the competition for the position of the direct descendant was extremely intense. She couldn''t be bothered to continue asking about the drama that was unfolding. Wasn''t it just a matter of infighting between official family members?


    "Why me?" Ling Shuang asked indifferently.


    Fang Yu chuckled: "Because you can fight!"


    Ling Shuang felt that this reason was too absurd, but she was currently being held tightly in Fang Yu''s palm. If she did not agree, this person would have other ways to force him to submit.


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes suddenly opened wide. "Okay, I agree, but I have conditions."


    "Sigh!" General Ling is actually so unhappy. "


    "If you don''t agree, even if I am to force you with my death, I, Ling Shuang, will not agree to your request."


    "Alright, alright. Speak, I''m afraid of you."


    "You and I may be married, but it''s only for acting. You can''t touch me."


    Fang Yu''s face darkened, "Fine! Actually... "I feel like ¡­"


    "Shut up!"


    "Alright, I promise you. Is there anything else?"


    "Give me a reward after this is done, and we will go our separate ways. We have nothing to do with each other."


    "Pfft!" Fang Yu coughed, "General Ling could not tell that you have the brains to do business, Alright, I will naturally pay you this."


    Right now, Ling Shuang could only accept this fate. It would be good to stabilize this bastard first and wait for an opportunity to get out of this mess.


    "Open my acupoints, I will go back by myself. Tomorrow morning you will come to propose," Ling Shuang had always been straightforward and efficient.


    Fang Yu laughed as he carried her, who was still in his arms, and headed towards the Ling Family''s Main Residence.


    "Fang Yu, you bastard!"


    "Don''t worry, I''m doing this to make sure that we''re a couple so that you can have a reason to marry me!"


    "Fang Yu, I will definitely kill you! Put me down! "Hey!"

 C5

    The morning of the second day. The main hall of the Ling Residence was completely silent as Ling Shuang and Fang Yu stood at the side with their heads lowered. The Old Madam Ling in the main seat had an ice-cold expression on her face.


    "Old Madam Ling''s gaze was sharp like a blade as she chopped at Fang Family and her son," Although Ling Family has declined, she has not fallen to the point of being bullied by others. Forget it, I''ll just go to the palace today and seek an audience with the empress dowager to make the decision for our family''s Shuang Er ¡­ "


    Fang Xiu Wen''s forehead started perspiring. His own son, Fang Yu, had always been a dishonest man, but he did not expect that he would actually dare to molest Great General of the West this time around.


    "Shuang Er, what do you think?" Old Madam Ling''s face darkened.


    Just as Ling Shuang was about to speak, she did not expect that there would be a commotion at the Ling Residence gates. The butler came in quickly to report that the from the palace had come. Old Madam Ling could not help but be shocked, she did not expect that the weird looks that Fang Yu and Ling Shuang showed last night would reach the palace so quickly. It was obvious that Emperor had a lot of eyes and ears, and was worried about Ling Shuang.


    Furthermore, this Wei Gonggong had actually brought along an dictum from the Emperor. Last night''s affair between the Second Young Master of the Fang Family and the General Ling could be said to have been heard by the entire crowd, and the emperor must be so happy that he was about to laugh. Just like when he married his own daughter, his heart felt like a huge rock had finally dropped to the ground.


    "The Emperor''s dictum is that Duke of Ling''s daughter, Ling Shuang, is virtuous and generous, warm and kind. Prime Minister Fang Xiu Wen''s son, Fang Yu, was talented and peerless. I hope that the wedding ceremony will end soon, and that I''ll be able to receive you here! "


    This order came in a timely and strange manner, causing Fang Xiu Wen to let out a sigh in shock. It was clear that Ling Family had long been prepared for it, and he could only accept it.


    Fang Yu was incomparably dejected at the moment, as though such a marriage was a great grievance to him.


    Ling Shuang smirked, it was really too much of a loss for Fang Yu to be the movie empress.


    On the third day of May, Xuande City was surrounded by a crowd. The first dowry had already arrived at the Fang Residence, and the last dowry hadn''t even left the Ling Family''s residence yet.


    The only direct descendant of the Old Madam Ling was his daughter, so she had naturally made the best of the Ling Residence her concubine. She had even included a manor in the outskirts of the capital as part of the betrothal.


    Ling Shuang was a little apprehensive, she knew the wealth of Ling Family. When the Duke of Ling was still alive, he had left behind a warning. The generals who came out of the Ling Family must not cry for blood, and must not gulp down their pay. In addition, every time the Emperor bestowed a reward, it would be distributed to the brothers who followed him into death.


    Therefore, Ling Family was already an empty air, although Old Madam Ling did not say anything, Ling Shuang was able to see everything that was happening clearly.


    Because of this, she had almost emptied her father''s book collection hall and secretly left the letter in the manor for her nephew.


    Ling Shuang who was sitting inside the bridal sedan was a pauper from head to toe, but she was not afraid of being shoeless. Since she had already reached this step, she could only grit her teeth and continue walking.


    As the Emperor was the one that bestowed the marriage on them, the people of the Fang Family did not dare to neglect their duties. Fang Family who was initially not highly regarded by the others, unexpectedly had managed to get married in such a glorious manner.


    After bowing, Ling Shuang was sent to the Southern Garden''s wedding room. The moment they walked into the Southern Garden, the married Cha Zi and Yan Hong were immediately stunned.


    The courtyard of the Southern Garden was very far away from the front yard. Other than the three main houses that had been slightly renovated, the rest of the houses were dilapidated. There was even grass growing in the yard?


    Ling Shuang sat upright on the bed in the wedding room, the Fang Family didn''t even send a single maidservant to serve him.


    Cha Zi and Yan Hong couldn''t help but be dissatisfied as they looked at the quiet wedding room. They had already expected that the Mrs Fang''s family was the number one family in the capital, the Chen family. A few years ago, the Duke of Ling and the Chen family''s Marquis Jing''an had a fight to the death, which resulted in their hatred.


    "Eldest Miss, isn''t this Fang Family a bit too much?"


    Ling Shuang slowly removed the veil over her head and played around with it in her hands, the corners of her mouth flushed with a cold smile.


    "The marriage between me and Fang Yu already shamed Fang Family, and now that my military power has been taken away, Ling Family is left with a few old and weak patients. Do you think that the Fang Family has a reason to curry favor with a new woman like me? They wanted us to die quickly so we wouldn''t mess with them. The martial arts on the outside were beautiful, but the people inside ¡­ Hehe ¡­ "Let''s just wait and see!"


    "Eldest Miss, can we not marry anymore? When Eldest Miss returned to Ling Family, how could anyone still be in pain? This kind of humiliation is really too much, "Yan Hong did not expect Eldest Miss to suffer so much on her very first day.


    "What a joke, can it be that I, your Young Miss, can''t even endure this little bit of hardship? I''m not that kind of dainty aristocratic lady, looking for death if I feel bad about it. This courtyard is rather quiet, suitable for cultivation. "


    Ling Shuang sent the two crying little girls out of the house, took off the complicated wedding robes, and laid on the bed with her limbs spread out.


    Just as he was about to close his eyes to take a nap, the wedding door was suddenly pushed open, and Fang Yu who was dressed in a red wedding gown, staggered in, reeked of alcohol.


    Right now, Ling Shuang was not afraid of anything bad happening to the Fang Family. Instead, she was afraid of this Fang Yu who did not follow common sense.


    When Cha Zi and Yan Hong saw Fang Yu walk in, they closed the door from the outside with red faces.


    Sparks burst out from the red candle, and under the candlelight, Fang Yu appeared even more beautiful than before. Ling Shuang laughed bitterly and threw away the word that was inappropriate. She had met Fang Yu a total of two times, but she never expected to live in the same house as Fang Yu.


    Fang Yu carefully observed Ling Shuang who was lying on the bed. The black bun in her hair had already been scattered, and the heavy bride''s headgear outside was also missing. The red makeup on her body was much less rigid and much more supple. She couldn''t help but be moved.


    He bent down to take off his boots, and just as he was about to climb onto the bed, Ling Shuang suddenly said: "Fang Yu, split up the beds and go to sleep."


    Fang Yu was startled, his face was pale, this woman was truly ¡­ Really ¡­


    "That... Everyone outside Ling Shuang is watching, acting is so good that you have to do it well enough, don''t you think so? "


    Ling Shuang was not moved in the slightest. She sat up and turned around while sneering coldly, "Fang Yu, you promised me your conditions back then. You want to go back on your word? "


    "No, okay!" Fang Yu once again put on the boots, but walked to the side and sat down. He explained to Ling Shuang: "I agree to share the bed, but I definitely cannot leave this room. Ling Shuang, us walking together today is making those people unhappy. The more we love each other, the angrier they get. It''s always fun to think about it. "


    Ling Shuang also knew that this was Fang Yu''s last concession, but this kind of life in the same room as others was still a stranger, so she felt that it was a bit strange.


    However, she could still tolerate it after half a year. When he was a secret service agent, there were so many things he could not tolerate. The hardest martial arts he had trained in his entire life was tolerance.

 C6

    Ling Shuang pointed at the room on the east side and said: "From now on, there will be a screen and a small bed next to it.


    Fang Yu saw that there were still some junk in the corner that had not been tidied up yet, the cobwebs in the corner had also formed layers and layers. He didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. Did he marry a wife or a cold-faced Buddha?


    He was just about to refute a little more, but he did not expect that Ling Shuang, who was once again lying on the bed, had already fallen asleep. Looking at Ling Shuang''s sleeping face under the candlelight, her delicate yet distinct facial features had a touch of soft glow. Her face carried a hint of faint exhaustion, and her thin lips were tightly pursed in her sleep, exuding determination.


    Fang Heng could not help but feel touched, if he were to calm down, he would look like a real woman.


    As the night deepened, the window was suddenly blown open by the night wind. Southern Garden''s house had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was still in the early summer.


    Fang Yu''s face darkened, the people of Fang Family did not see him as a human anymore. The more he thought about it, the colder it got, he had no choice but to walk over to his bed and grab a set of thin blankets, wanting to warm himself up, but this time he saw Ling Shuang curled up on the bed, looking somewhat pitiful.


    His mind moved and the brocade in his hand was flung onto Ling Shuang''s body as if by a god, and he immediately looked at his hands in embarrassment. What happened to him? This woman was so strong, there was no need for him to take care of her like this! Although they each took what they needed, they still felt a bit guilty thinking about how this woman was only arranged to stay in this broken house because of him.


    On the morning of the second day, Ling Shuang and Fang Yu, who had sat on a chair for an entire night, went to pay respects to the Mrs Fang. The matter of the new person paying respects to the owner was something that she could not do, if not, based on Ling Shuang''s character, she would definitely ignore such red tape.


    Ling Shuang was not used to Great Yan Dynasty women''s complicated clothing. She was still dressed in his modified silver embroidery men''s clothing, her hair tied up behind her head with a silk ribbon.


    When Fang Yu saw her attire, not only did he not blame her, he smiled.


    "Darling, you flatter me," Ling Shuang said awkwardly.


    The two of them sat on the blue carriage that was used in the Fang Residence to travel to the path outside the Cheng Jin Tang. Unexpectedly, Ling Shuang saw Fang Heng and Ling Wan who were being escorted by a large group of servants walking in.


    Fang Heng was still dressed in the same elegant attire. After seeing Ling Shuang and Fang Yu, his expression was indeed very wonderful. He looked contemptuously at Ling Shuang. This woman is really shameless, to actually chase up to the Fang Residence?


    On the other hand, Ling Wan had a fitting smile on her lips, but that smile was too fake, it did not reach her eyes.


    She slowly took a step forward and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is also here to pay respects to mother?"


    Ling Wan was extremely delicate, with a oval face, willow shaped eyebrows, and lips like a flower in spring. Her figure was extremely weak and graceful, and she was extremely attractive. Wearing a beautiful pink embroidered dress that was intertwined with branches, she seemed even more pure and beautiful.


    However, this "sister-in-law", to Ling Shuang, was exceptionally ear-piercing. It carried a trace of ridicule and the arrogance and spoiled pride of a thick victor.


    Looking at this scorpion serpent beauty, the cruel scene in the ten li of the peach forest suddenly surfaced in Ling Shuang''s mind.


    "Sister-in-law, are you not feeling well?" Ling Wan smiled with concern, "Perhaps the place in the Southern Garden is cold, or perhaps the weather is cold?"


    Ling Shuang clenched her fists tightly. Damned Southern Garden, since Fang Family was so harsh on her, she would definitely not let them feel at ease.


    Ling Wan looked at Ling Shuang''s tense face, her heart was at ease, and passionately reached out her hand to grab Ling Shuang''s hand that was hidden inside her sleeve.


    "Sister-in-law, is Southern Garden used to living here? If there is anything that you aren''t prepared for, just tell me and I will definitely take good care of you. "


    Ling Shuang raised her hand to wave away Ling Wan''s palm. The woman made her feel disgusted.


    Originally, Ling Shuang did not use much strength, but unexpectedly, Ling Wan suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Ling Wan''s almond-shaped eyes were already filled with tears. She fell into Fang Heng''s arms and began to cry.


    "Ling Shuang! Are you done yet? " Fang Heng glared angrily at Ling Shuang, and then gently consoled the crying Ling Wan who was in her arms, the love in her eyes was not concealed at all.


    "Wan''er, are you hurt? Should I invite the doctors over to take a look? "


    "Sister-in-law, I know you hate me, but I ¡­" I really only want to care about you, how can you hurt me? I have offended you, but the child in my womb has never offended you! " Ling Wan looked at Ling Shuang timidly.


    "Ling Shuang, you are too vicious! Wan-Er was already pregnant. If you dare to keep pestering her, don''t blame me for being rude! " Fang Heng''s handsome eyebrows were filled with gloom, as if he would flare up at any moment.


    Relying on it! Ling Shuang was about to explode. Did these two bitches come back from the Hollywood movie emperor''s after-school training?


    "Since Ling Wan is pregnant, Big Brother should let her stay at home longer to recuperate. If you were to casually run out and pull this and that, and accidentally injure yourself, others really can''t afford to pay! "


    "You ¡­" Fang Heng paused for a moment, while Ling Wan who was in Fang Heng''s embrace also became speechless.


    "Is this how you talk to your sister-in-law?" Fang Heng stared coldly at his second brother, who had been opposing him since he was young. The loathing in his eyes could hardly be suppressed. He had to admit that this second brother of his was better than him since he was young, but so what? He was the bastard whom his father brought back from the outside, the identity of which was questioned by the clan members, and who was worthy to be called Young Master Fang Family?


    "Eldest Sister-in-Law?" Fang Yu laughed and turned to look at Ling Wan as he sneered, "Fang Family''s Eldest Young Mistress'' status is very honorable, you must have some status, right? Although it wasn''t a princess, at the very least, it was the daughter of a noble family! Hiss! I remember Ling Wan, you didn''t officially marry her, right? What about his identity ¡­ How should she put it ¡­ How strange! "


    Ling Wan''s face paled. It was indeed because she had Fang Heng''s son that the Fang Family had sent someone to bring her into the Fang Residence. To put it bluntly, she was an aunt. She didn''t even have a marriage contract.


    She thought that as long as Ling Shuang died from the poison, she wouldn''t have any worries for herself. However, even though Ling Shuang was clearly dead, she was still standing in front of her unharmed.


    Ling Wan was secretly resentful in his heart, that''s fine, you, Ling Shuang dare to enter the Fang Residence, this time you will die a little. But the second young master of Fang Family ¡­ She had to get rid of this annoying feeling as well in order to dispel the hatred in her heart.

 C7

    "Shuang Er, let''s go, Mother must be tired of waiting," Fang Yu said as he held Ling Shuang''s hand and walked into the inner courtyard of Cheng Jin Tang.


    Ling Shuang never thought that Fang Yu would actually appear, she looked at Fang Yu''s handsome side, and truly felt the warmth from his palm, the bit of ice in her heart slowly melted.


    However, this brat definitely had the ability to make people angry and not pay with their lives. It was just that with such eloquent words, he was more than enough to deal with Fang Family and the group of bitches.


    "What are you thinking about?" Fang Yu smiled, "Could it be that you are moved by my righteous words? Shuang Er, "he said in a low voice, with a hint of charm," how about you promise me your life?


    Ling Shuang struggled free from his grasp, and used her elbow to smash it into Fang Yu''s ribs. Fang Yu immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain, but he still smiled calmly, it was just that the muscles on his face were twitching intensely.


    The servants around were all dumbstruck. Ling Shuang and Fang Yu''s actions seemed to carry some intimacy with each other, as if they were married couples who had been together for many years.


    Ling Shuang also noticed the strange gazes from all around and quickly retracted her gaze. She actually had a bad premonition, that Fang Yu''s intention in marrying her into the Fang Family was far from just acting.


    Ling Shuang followed Fang Yu into the main hall of the Cheng Jin Tang. Black paint covered the floor as the heavy curtains were embroidered with rich peonies. In the next twelve sets of rosewood with ivory floral glass partitions separated the pavilion.


    He could see shadows of people inside, a little girl had long walked out quickly to welcome Fang Yu and his wife in.


    The moment Ling Shuang walked into the Warm Pavilion, she heard a series of gasps for air, as well as suppressed ridiculing laughter. Ling Shuang''s attire did indeed look a little out of place. It was obvious that she was treated as a target of ridicule by the people in the Warm Pavilion.


    Ling Shuang didn''t mind in the slightest as she looked at Mrs Fang, who was sitting in the middle. Mrs Fang was dressed in a silk gown embroidered with silver peonies and had a long face and narrow eyebrows.


    "Greetings to mother!" Fang Yu pulled Ling Shuang along and bowed.


    "There''s no need to be so polite. Take a seat!" From Mrs Fang''s expression, Ling Shuang could see a hint of suppressed disgust.


    That year, Fang Xiu Wen had become an official in Heyang County and had raised an outer room, giving birth to Fang Yu. After that, the Mrs Fang magnanimously brought Fang Yu and his son back to the Fang Residence. Unexpectedly, half a year later, Fang Yu''s birth mother died of illness.


    Fang Yu had to be handed over to Mrs Fang to personally raise, but the five-year-old Fang Yu had to escape the Fang Family several times, and was even going against the Mrs Fang at every turn.


    It was only until eight years ago when Fang Yu almost died of an illness and when a villager sent a message to him, that he finally remembered his son who was raised in the countryside.


    After the child was caught, his body was extremely weak, and his actions had become unrestrained. He had basically become a cripple.


    Not long after, Fang Heng also brought Ling Wan and walked into the main hall, after bowing to the Mrs Fang, he sat opposite to Ling Shuang, but his expression was extremely indignant.


    Ling Shuang frowned, was this Fang Heng retarded? He was the one who betrayed Ling Shuang, and the one who caused Ling Shuang''s death was him as well.


    "This must be Second Sister-in-Law?" A pretty girl who was leaning beside Mrs Fang and wore a red dress with a bun on it laughed as she looked at Ling Shuang. Her expression, however, held a little contempt.


    "Second Sister-in-Law''s attire is indeed ¡­ Hehe ¡­ It''s very different. "


    Didn''t that mean she was acting vulgar? Ling Shuang didn''t mind, and casually said: "I''ve stayed in the army camp for too long, I''m already used to this kind of attire."


    "Oh, really? Second Sister-in-Law and the other men in the army camp eat and live together with great difficulty. "


    "Why do you have to work so hard to help His Majesty?" Ling Shuang laughed coldly to herself, this Fang Yue did not let go of the opportunity to mock her.


    Fang Yue had always been relatively close to Ling Wan, and with Ling Wan''s ability to make friends with others, it naturally helped Ling Wan a little. Unexpectedly, Ling Shuang didn''t mind her taunting at all and completely ignored him.


    She could not help but pursed her lips and continued to ask with great interest: "I wonder if Second Sister-in-Law''s personal guard in the military camp was male or female?"


    Ling Shuang raised her phoenix eyes slightly as she looked at Fang Yue, and said slowly, "I never thought that little sister would be so interested in these matters. If little sister is so interested in men, next time, I''ll bring you to the military camp to gain some experience. "


    "You ¡­" Fang Yue''s face immediately became unsettled, no matter how domineering she was, he was still a young miss. After all, Ling Shuang had stayed at the border for too long, so he had never heard of such a joke.


    "Yue''er," Mrs Fang''s face showed unhappiness, but he forcefully endured the humiliation Ling Shuang would give his daughter, and turned to Fang Heng: "Heng`er, tomorrow''s poetry gathering for the Fang Palace, you should discuss it with your father."


    "Yes sir!" Fang Heng bowed and nodded.


    "Mother, I''m already married. Tomorrow will be a day where Shuang Er will recognize all the relatives and friends of the Fang Family," the Fang Yu who had been silent the entire time suddenly said.


    The people in the room were all surprised. Fang Yu had never participated in the Fang Residence''s official banquet, he preferred to stay at the Qin Residence.


    In other words, the reason why Mrs Fang did this was to find a good marriage relationship with his daughter Fang Yue, and to pave the way for his son Fang Heng''s future career.


    It was just that he did not expect Fang Yu to join in this time, the Mrs Fang did not react at all. Instead, the Auntie Du beside him laughed: "Second Young Master, stop messing around, you never liked these kinds of things. Wouldn''t it be boring to go there?"


    "Since when did Auntie Du take over? "I still don''t know, excuse me," Fang Yu said with a charming smile, as the coldness in his eyes deepened.


    "Hehe ¡­" Second Young Master laughed awkwardly. He was Mrs Fang''s concubine and because he gave birth to Second Miss, Fang Fei, he was taken away by his aunt and had always been his wife''s trusted aide. He didn''t expect to be pushed back by Fang Yu the moment he stuck his head out.


    "Forget it, since you want to go, then go! It''s just that at that time, don''t throw Fang Family''s face, "Mrs Fang waved her hand in disgust.


    If such a thing happened every day in the future, she would really be unable to bear it. Fortunately, Mrs Fang and Fang Yu were tired of looking at each other, so she naturally did not come over to pay her respects frequently.


    After returning to the Southern Garden, Cha Zi and Yan Hong''s lips moved as if they had something to say.


    Ling Shuang swept her eyes across Fang Yu: "If you two have something to say, say it, Young Master is not an outsider either."

 C8

    Fang Yu was extremely enjoying listening to this, he waved his fan casually, who would have thought that the turbid young master of the capital would be living in deep water and hot water.


    "Young Master, Eldest Miss, although this Southern Garden has a small kitchen, it doesn''t have anything special. The furniture is also sixty percent new, it seems like someone else used it, and ¡­"


    "Got it, you guys go down first!" Ling Shuang''s heart was already prepared for this, so she suppressed the suspicion in her heart. The two little girls turned and looked at Fang Yu: "I really wonder how you managed to live past these few years?"


    "Shuang Er, follow me," Fang Yu also didn''t reply as he brought Ling Shuang out of the Southern Garden''s side entrance into the lush bamboo forest.


    "Where did you get all this?" Ling Shuang unceremoniously sat down and started eating.


    Fang Yu poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Ling Shuang: "I knew you hadn''t eaten your fill just now, since I hired you to act, I can''t possibly be hungry for you right?"


    Ling Shuang took a bite of the thousand layer cake and it emitted a soft and sweet fragrance. She was definitely the most authentic one in the capital, and revealed a satisfied expression. Fang Yu laughed to himself, a dignified Great General of the West was actually a glutton.


    "Shuang Er, I have rarely come back to live with you before, and have caused you to suffer."


    Ling Shuang was startled, she raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yu, his face had unexpectedly carried a look of guilt, the look in his eyes was gone without a trace. She sometimes really didn''t know how many masks Fang Yu had. Some were evil, some were unorthodox, some were cold, and some were weak.


    For a moment, she was confused. Just how many stories had such a man hidden?


    "Fang Yu," Ling Shuang stared into his eyes, "Tell me your story?"


    Fang Yu was surprised, a cold and heartless woman like Ling Shuang would not easily reveal her concern towards others.


    But at the same time, Fang Yu''s heart felt a warmth.


    He turned around and looked at the bamboo forest''s verdant green as he sighed and slowly rolled up his sleeves. It was obvious that these scars had been there for many years. One could imagine how deep the wound had penetrated into his bones.


    "These scars can be removed, but I kept them, reminding me at every moment not to forget the terrible things that happened in the past. When my mother died, I was just five years old and was brought to the Mrs Fang''s side. "


    The bamboo forest was so quiet that it was oppressed, only Fang Yu''s calm voice spread out.


    "At that time, Father was busy with politics and did not have the time to care about the Inner Mansion. The Mrs Fang covered the entire Inner Mansion with one hand. I can''t remember how many times I''ve been beaten, but they''ll use all sorts of excuses to make my mistakes. When I ate, I said I was gluttonous. When I was studying, I said that I was lazy. I couldn''t stand to say that I was naughty when I ran away. "


    Ling Shuang''s heart tensed, she did not know what to say to comfort her. One could imagine what kind of inhuman treatment a five-year-old child without the protection of a mother would suffer in such a mansion.


    "Until one time I escaped and my father ran into me ¡­" Fang Yu immediately stopped talking, as though he was suppressing his emotions and slowly said, "Father clearly knew that I was abused, but he still listened to Mrs Fang and placed me in the Yun Province to raise a child."


    "Why?" Ling Shuang felt that it was really inconceivable. Her own child being abused, was she supposed to just ignore it as a father?


    Fang Yu''s peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed: "Father only has his position, his future prospects, and he cannot afford to offend the Chen family that stands behind Mrs Fang. Hehe! To his career, his son''s life is nothing! "


    "After I was sent to the Cloud Region, the Mrs Fang sent people to kill me several times. Fortunately ¡­" Fang Yu suddenly closed his lips, as though he did not want to continue, but instead, he seemed to be hiding something, as he turned to look at Ling Shuang and laughed: "These things are meaningless, are you full? What other snacks do you want to eat? I''ll buy them for you. "


    Ling Shuang knew that Fang Yu must have hidden something from her. With his position in the Fang Family, he didn''t even have that much of a monthly allowance. However, Fang Yu had become the number one hedonist in the capital, where did all this money come from?


    Just look at the dishes on the table. They could not be bought even with a little over 10 taels of silver, so where did he get his money from? Although Ling Shuang was suspicious, she did not question her deeply. She only laughed: "You''re pretty amazing now! With such high level of martial arts and money, why not just cut off those bastards! "


    Fang Yu smiled lovingly, but the malevolence in his eyes slowly surfaced: "Cut it off, that''s too boring, and it''s better to torture his slowly. Let her look at what he can''t get without doing anything, don''t you think that''s interesting?"


    Ling Shuang felt a chill in her heart, she was a person that she could not afford to offend.


    "Did it scare you?" Fang Yu sneered, taking off his cape to place it on Ling Shuang''s shoulder, he even took out a stack of silver notes and handed it over, "You can spend this silver first, East Garden''s things should be exchanged for if you throw them away, don''t be afraid to spend this silver."


    "Then what should we do next?" Ling Shuang was not polite, she took the silver notes into her hand. It was originally a relationship of employment, so she wasn''t being hypocritical.


    Fang Yu slightly smiled, and slowly said with the straightforward manner that he liked her: "Let''s see which one of us will be the more dramatic next. When Ling Shuang obtained these silver bills, the others would immediately say that it was from the Ling Family. "


    Ling Shuang understood that he did not want others to know how strong he was right now.


    The next morning, Fang Yu left early. Regarding his mysteriousness, it was inconvenient for Ling Shuang to ask. But today, he was going to spend all the silver that Fang Yu had left behind.


    "Eldest Miss, where did you get all this silver?" Cha Zi could not help but be ecstatic, it was impossible for such an empty rack to be filled with so much silver for Eldest Miss.


    "Young Master gave it to me, but don''t tell anyone about this, understand?"


    The two girls were both Ling Shuang''s trusted aides, and had followed her for so many years in wars, they had a tacit understanding of one another.


    "Yan Hong, I have a use for you to take the banknotes to the bank to be exchanged for crushed silver," after hearing what Fang Yu said yesterday, Ling Shuang was even less pleased than the people of Fang Family.


    She wasn''t made of clay, and the clay figurine had a bit of a muddy personality! Since the Fang Family placed him in a crappy place like the Southern Garden, he must have the awareness of being ruthlessly punished by Ling Shuang.


    "Cha Zi, take the silver and go find wind and rain tower''s Tower Lord Gu Xiao Yun. This is my letter, let him settle the matter as soon as possible."


    The wind and rain tower was a famous place in the martial arts world. It could buy and sell information, hire assassins, bodyguards, and other random jobs, as long as you had money.


    But Gu Xiao Yun''s temper was not very good, if he was someone he liked, even if he did not have money, he would still give it his all. No matter how much money he spent, he wouldn''t show any face if he didn''t like Ye Xiao.


    This kind of mysterious and elusive weirdo was actually very close to Ling Shuang. When Ling Shuang went to war with the Wuhuan, many of the military news were spread to the wind and rain tower to ask around. Of course, news of wind and rain tower was the most expensive in the entire martial arts world, even though it gave Ling Shuang a discount, it was still shockingly expensive.


    "Bring some silver with you, that evil merchant is not easy to deal with," Ling Shuang said in consideration.

 C9

    Cha Zi hurriedly put away the silver bills. She had helped Ling Shuang deal with this situation in the wind and rain tower too many times, so she naturally knew about Gu Xiao Yun''s temperament.


    "Yan Hong, after you exchange for the crushed silver, find a country servant woman outside to make a set of Hundred Shrouded Clothing. The best would be if it was made by tomorrow."


    "Yes, Eldest Miss." Yan Hong didn''t know what Eldest Miss was doing perfectly fine, so she didn''t dare to say anything.


    "Also," Ling Shuang swept her eyes across the people in the east region and said slowly, "Buy a screen and arrange a wall over there. Get someone to get another soft couch and place it behind the screen."


    and Yan Hong could not help but laugh inwardly. The Eldest Miss seemed to be rather concerned about the Young Master, yesterday he had even made a small bed, but today he changed it to a soft couch. However, these two people were really awkward. Since they were engaged, they had to sleep separately and pretend to be extremely close to each other outside. It was unknown what they were thinking.


    In the evening, when Fang Yu came back from the outside, he saw a good bed set up for the east wing, with a smile on his face. When he went to the main hall, he saw Ling Shuang''s figure training in the bamboo forest through the rear window.


    This time, Ling Shuang was wearing a silver tight suit, and her hair was still tied up behind her head. His tall and slender figure was like a swimming dragon. The red sunset shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves and landed on that vigorous figure. It was astonishingly beautiful.


    Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. To think that there was such a legendary woman in this world, all the men in Great Yan Dynasty felt ashamed.


    He then picked up the teapot on the table to pour him a cup of tea, and walked straight to Ling Shuang who was holding onto her sword.


    "You must be tired, drink some tea," Fang Yu felt that it was strange, every time he saw Ling Shuang, he would feel the urge to treat her well.


    Could it be that his taste in women had really changed? Would he like this kind of girl with a strong masculine aura?


    "What are you thinking about?" Ling Shuang took the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Just as she was about to wipe her mouth with her sleeve, a piece of kernels was handed to her.


    Ling Shuang''s face reddened. She really couldn''t learn the etiquette of an aristocratic lady of this era.


    "I don''t want to think about anything. Seeing that you''re so serious in your swordplay, I feel that my martial arts skills have been wasted recently."


    "You have such a good foundation in martial arts, why belittle yourself?"


    "Why don''t you teach me martial arts?" Fang Yu looked down at Ling Shuang''s blank expression.


    "Are you joking? Young Master Fang! " Ling Shuang curled her lips.


    Fang Yu gave a light laugh. He liked Ling Shuang''s tiny actions a lot as he slowly said, "I''m speaking the truth. I''ve already endured in the Fang Family for too long, I don''t want to endure it anymore."


    Ling Shuang suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him: "You mean to say, you''re no longer hiding your abilities? You''re going to fight him head on? "


    Fang Yu nodded his head, and laughed: "I have to change my mind, so I won''t be a useless playboy in the capital, but I will drag down my wife and teach me how to change my mind."


    Ling Shuang immediately understood what Fang Yu meant. The reason he married himself into this family was because of this trick. She knew that Fang Yu did this because he did not want to reveal the person who was truly helping him from the back.


    Fang Yu slowly said as he looked at Ling Shuang: "Of course, if you are not willing to bear the reputation of being a shrew, I can let you leave Fang Family."


    "Ha!" "I am a shrew myself, why would I be unwilling? Alright, I''ve swung my little whip. From today onwards, you are to ride in the bamboo forest every day."


    Fang Yu''s heart was moved, she really liked her for her frank and straightforward character, what should he do? It seemed that he had gotten the right person from his point of view.


    "Ling Shuang, I really like the eastern room that you have arranged for me," Fang Yu said with a serious expression.


    "Forget it, forget it. A friend!" Ling Shuang was not used to Fang Yu looking at her affectionate look, and suddenly said: "Oh yes, there''s something I want to inform you about, but you don''t need to go to the Fang Residence''s poetry gathering that will be held tomorrow."


    Fang Yu was startled, he had already bought all of Ling Shuang''s clothes for the poetry meet tomorrow, but this girl actually refused to go.


    "Ling Shuang, what do you have in mind?"


    "You pretend to be sick at home. In any case, the people of Fang Family all think that you are weak and sickly, so I have my own arrangements," Ling Shuang blinked his eyes a little playfully. Fang Yu was immediately stunned, this kind of lively Ling Shuang was something he had never seen before.


    Ling Shuang suddenly retracted her unintentional expression, secretly hating herself how she had forgotten that Ling Shuang was supposed to be a female general that was as cold as ice and frost. In front of Fang Yu, how could she be so weak? Could it be that she had fallen in love? But this kind of flirting type of man wasn''t her type!


    "I... I''m going back to change my clothes. "You can pretend to be sick from tomorrow onwards, the more severe the better."


    Fang Yu looked at the panic that flashed past her phoenix eyes and laughed lightly. He held his heart and said: "My wife, my heart is extremely anxious right now. I think I''m really sick."


    "You ¡­ "Whatever you want ¡­" Ling Shuang turned and ran frantically out of the bamboo forest.


    Outside of the capital''s Shuangyang City gate, carriages of aristocratic juniors were passing by on the road that led to the poetry meet.


    Every year, the poetry meet held in the capital would be especially grand. Every aristocratic clan would hold their own. The Fang Family had always been a family of books and incense, and the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty had always advocated the use of literature to rule the country, so this poetry meet was exceptionally solemn.


    The beautiful carriage of the Fang Family followed the straight road and went forward. Fang Heng did not ride a horse, but chose to protect Ling Wan as he sat in the carriage.


    A poem of such a large scale was something that only the children of nobles of the appropriate age would attend. The young mistresses of the noble families were also fighting with all their might for a higher position. Qin, calligraphy, paintings, poems, songs, all of them had their tricks up their sleeves.


    "Wan Er, have you heard? That Ling Shuang actually did not follow the Fang Family''s carriage over. "


    Ling Wan slightly raised her eyes and sighed: "I also didn''t think that Elder Sis would give up such a good opportunity to relax, it would be good if I could come out and take a look."


    "Why are you worrying about her?" Fang Heng said unhappily, "Does a woman as vicious and merciless as her treat you as her own sister?"


    Ling Wan''s gaze dimmed, her beautiful eyes filled with grievance.


    "Maybe there''s something that delayed second brother?" Fang Fei was petite and exquisite, but her appearance was not very outstanding, and she revealed a true indifference.


    Fang Yue sneered: "One is a hedonist and the other is a hooligan. If we participate in this kind of poetry gathering, wouldn''t it embarrass our Fang Family?"


    However, Ling Wan did not think that, for such a unique woman like Ling Shuang, face or anything else would not be part of her consideration. However, why did she still rush to go to the poetry meet a few days ago, but she didn''t want to go in the end. Even the chance to humiliate Ling Shuang during the poetry meet that she had planned for was gone.


    As they were talking, they felt the carriage come to a sudden halt.


    "What''s wrong?" Fang Heng''s face showed unhappiness, and he immediately supported Ling Wan.


    "Eldest Young Master, we don''t know what happened up ahead. All of the Young Masters'' carriages were stopped, and there are a lot of people watching."


    "Could it be that some small fry is causing trouble?" Fang Heng immediately denied his ridiculous idea. This was under the watch of the capital, who would dare to cause trouble here?


    "Qingfeng, quickly check it out!" Fang Heng said to his follower.


    After a while, Qing Feng hurriedly reported, "Not good, young master. Up ahead is... "Yes ¡­"

 C10

    Fang Heng lifted up the carriage''s curtain and slipped out: "Speak clearly! What''s going on? "


    "Yes ¡­" is the Second Young Madam... " Qing Feng was obviously frightened by something and didn''t know what to do.


    Fang Heng frowned when he heard it, but he couldn''t pass through the horse carriage either. More and more people appeared in front of him, and he walked over to see what it was.


    What did Ling Shuang want to do?


    Ling Wan who was in the horse carriage was also at a loss, but there were too many people in front, so it was inconvenient for her to go over, so she ordered the maidservants by her side to go over to see what was happening.


    When Fang Heng squeezed through the crowd and saw Ling Shuang kneeling on the street in the middle of the city, he couldn''t help but be shocked. Was this woman crazy?


    Ling Shuang was dressed in a tattered and messy clothing, and stood on the ground like a beggar with her head lowered and shoulders hugged. There was also a wooden signboard beneath her feet that had the words'' Selling your sword to treat my illness'' written on it. Around him, people were pointing at him.


    "Aiya, isn''t this General Ling?"


    "So pitiful! I heard that after marrying into the Fang Family, he was forced by the Mrs Fang to live in the side courtyard.


    "Damn it!" What kind of world was this? General Ling went out to war for the for ten years and now, they have received such a desolate scene, it is truly disheartening! "


    "Did you see that the sword was left behind by Old General Ling? Isn''t it too much of a waste to just sell it like that?"


    "Doesn''t the court care? "Your Majesty ¡­"


    "Shh ¡­" "Shut up!"


    Clank! Someone threw a silver ingot into the broken bowl beside Ling Shuang, and the spectators immediately began to get generous.


    Ling Shuang secretly laughed, the matter with wind and rain tower''s Gu Xiao Yun was done well, and very quickly, the public''s opinion shifted to her side, the money spent was also worth it.


    At this time, Fang Heng''s entire face was red, but in his heart, a sense of fear rose.


    Their Fang Family seemed to have gotten into big trouble this time. Although her Ling Family was in decline, Ling Shuang was a great general who had countless achievements in the battlefield, and had fallen to such a state.


    "Eh? Isn''t that the young master of Fang Family? "


    "Tsk tsk!" Look at the young master of the Fang Family, her clothes are fresh and her horse is angry, but the Second Young Master is like this, the way the Fang Family bullies her concubine and the hundred year old scholar!


    "Hurry up!" Seeing the angry stares coming from the crowd, Fang Heng quickly took Qing Feng and left. Today, this matter could not end peacefully, he had to quickly go back and report to his mother.


    Ling Shuang looked at Fang Heng''s staggering figure as he left with a smirk on his face. Just as he was feeling happy in his heart, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.


    She suddenly raised her eyes and saw a handsome face filled with grief and indignation. The man in front of her was not particularly tall and sturdy, instead, he had a lean physique. He was in his twenties, dressed in black robes, with extraordinary handsomeness between his eyebrows, just that his eyes could not wait to eat Ling Shuang.


    "Hu ¡­" Hu Li? " Ling Shuang quickly flipped through the information in her mind. This was Ling Shuang''s best brother in the army camp, her advisor.


    Even if one did not speak of his martial arts prowess, this person was extremely crafty. He could also be considered to be courageous and scheming. Furthermore, she often called him a fox.


    Hu Li was Senior Gongzi, the assistant minister of the Beijing Military Department, he had worked together with Ling Shuang for many years. This time, the Wuhuan was defeated, Hu Li was ordered to accept the gold and silver treasures sent over by the Wuhuan after surrendering, and also to welcome the Princess of Wuhuan as his bride. He never expected to see Ling Shuang in such a sorry state after returning to the capital.


    His face was extremely gloomy, he pulled Ling Shuang up from the ground, stooped down and carried the Imperial Sword on his waist, and then ripped off Ling Shuang''s clothes.


    "Hey!" What are you doing? " Ling Shuang didn''t think that the usually gentle and refined Military Advisor would be on the verge of erupting in fury. Before she even had the chance to react, Hu Li''s outer robe was already draped over her shoulders.


    "I don''t want to lose my face and leave with laozi!"


    "Who cares about me!" Ling Shuang also shouted in rage.


    The expression in Hu Li''s eyes darkened when he saw her, and fiercely carried her. Before Ling Shuang could even awaken from his shock, he violently threw her on the back of the horse.


    "Ling Shuang, you must have some memory. First, you didn''t discuss it with this old man, then married off. Now, you even want to sell Old General Ling''s sword. I really want to beat you to death! "


    Hu Li suddenly jumped onto the horse''s back, and carried Ling Shuang away.


    In the Peach Blossom Forest, Ling Shuang and Hu Li fought with their swords drawn. In the entire army camp, approximately only Hu Li''s martial arts were on par with Ling Shuang''s.


    Hu Li who was at a stalemate suddenly threw the sword in his hand far to the side, and waited for Ling Shuang to raise it to stab at him. He did not want to hurt her, but this time, he was extremely angry so he dragged her into the Peach Blossom Forest, forcing Ling Shuang to fight with him.


    "Are you crazy?" Ling Shuang immediately shifted the sword in her hand an inch, and pierced into the tree trunk beside Hu Li.


    Just as she was about to pull the sword out, she didn''t expect herself to be pulled into Hu Li''s embrace, and held on tightly.


    Ling Shuang was stupefied. She did not know that her body''s master was actually involved in a battle with this brat who did not say anything at all.


    She could even hear Hu Li''s violent heartbeats. If she were to pay more attention, she would be able to hear his heartbreaking voice.


    "Why? You idiot, who are you to marry, and why did you marry into the Fang Family? You like Fang Heng that much? Ten years of mutual protection in exchange for his betrayal, haven''t you suffered enough injuries? And marry his brother? "


    Ling Shuang was about to explain, but seeing the tears on Hu Li''s face, he couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Hu Li was the son of a Venerable family, and had even been promoted to the level of Jin Zhaoyin in the army. No matter how one looked at him, he started to cry.


    "You ¡­ Why do you have to suffer? "I am not very familiar with you either ¡­"


    "Not familiar?" Hu Li fiercely grabbed onto Ling Shuang''s shoulder, staring at her panicking phoenix eyes, the grief on his face became even deeper.


    "Six years, three months, twelve days. Are you familiar with it?"


    Ling Shuang was completely speechless, it turned out that... Very familiar.


    "I''ve only separated from you for half a month. How did you get married?" Hu Li was really at a loss when he heard these questions.


    "I... I was also forced to marry by the Emperor ¡­ " Ling Shuang carefully thought over what to say. This man seemed to have a very good relationship with Ling Shuang, what should he do if he suddenly exposed his secret?


    "Forced marriage?" Hu Li laughed miserably, "Can''t you wait a few more days? Wait until I come back from Wuhuan to marry you! "


    "General Hu!"


    "Shut up! "Listen to me!" Hu Li roared out, but the pain in her eyes could not be hidden, it seemed that Ling Shuang''s marriage had truly hurt this crude man.


    "In the past, when your heart was on your chest, your mouth was always that bastard Fang Heng. Even if I wanted to, I didn''t dare to confess. But now ¡­"


    The pure white figure suddenly appeared between the two of them. With a twist of Fang Yu''s arm, he pulled Ling Shuang out of Hu Li''s embrace and tightly hugged him by his side.


    "Fang Yu?" Ling Shuang and Hu Li opened their eyes wide at the same time.


    Fang Yu slightly smiled, but it was so cold that it could kill one. He coldly looked at Hu Li and said, "There''s no need for General Hu to get involved in this lowly affair anymore."


    Ling Shuang felt a chill down her spine as she felt a headache coming on between the two men.

 C11

    "Fang Yu, since you''re married to Ling Shuang, then protect her like a man, don''t be a turtle hiding in its shell, and let women stand in front of you to protect you!" Hu Li wanted to swallow Fang Yu alive. This fellow''s name was extremely notorious in the capital, how could he be worthy of Ling Shuang? His tone became more and more unfriendly.


    Fang Yu''s peach blossom eyes were still as cold as ice. The corners of his lips curled up as he laughed sinisterly: "It seems like it''s not the turn for an outsider to point fingers at my inner chamber, is it?"


    Hu Li felt a wave of anger, but he could not do anything about it. If Ling Shuang did not marry this silkpants, he would have slapped her a long time ago. But he couldn''t do it now. Fang Yu was right, he was always an outsider to Ling Shuang.


    Six years ago, six years later.


    "Shuang Er, let''s go back!" Fang Yu held Ling Shuang''s hand and was about to walk away, but they didn''t expect that the sword in Hu Li''s hand was already on his neck.


    "Fang Yu, are you even a man? Did you know that Ling Shuang wanted to sell her father''s Imperial Sword on the streets to treat your illness? Do you know what a Imperial Sword means to her? If you can give her happiness, then marry her! "I can''t afford it, get lost as soon as possible!"


    Fang Yu''s palm that was hidden in his sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist, just as he was about to turn around, Ling Shuang stepped forward and pushed away the sword in his hand and coldly looked at him: "Hu Li, you don''t need to care about my matters!"


    Hu Li looked at Ling Shuang in disbelief, the phoenix eyes that he had dreamed of countless times were extremely cold, and he couldn''t help but stagger a few steps back.


    "Ling Shuang, you have only known this brat for a few days? I''ve known you for six years! "How can you ¡­" A hint of sadness and despair which appeared in Hu Li''s eyes softened the depths of his heart.


    She could not help but laugh bitterly to herself. In fact, she got to know Fang Yu much sooner than she did the baffling Hu Li!


    "Hu Li, no matter what happens, I have already married and become a woman. I also hope that you can find a person you like, so we don''t need to pester you anymore, right?"


    "Fang Yu, if you are a man, please come out and fight with me for three hundred rounds!" Hu Li stared at Fang Yu in anger. No matter how heartless Ling Shuang was, he could not bring himself to hate him.


    Ling Shuang knew that she must not let anyone else know about her identity as someone who knows martial arts. Otherwise, all of their plans in the Fang Family would go out of control.


    Hu Li stared blankly at Ling Shuang who was standing in front of sher, her pursed lips trembling slightly. Then, he suddenly turned around and punched the peach tree, leaving a trail of blood on the tree trunk.


    Ling Shuang was startled, she gritted her teeth and ignored him. Hu Li could be a brother that goes through life and death together, but he would never become a lover.


    "Eldest Miss," Cha Zi and Yan Hong galloped over on their horses. After seeing Hu Li, they were slightly startled, but they did not care about anything else and directly dismounted their horses to speak to Ling Shuang, "The Wei Gonggong, the head of the palace, is waiting for you there. Please enter the palace immediately.


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes slightly perked, and even the sulking Hu Li turned around. In the end, he still said in an extremely awkward tone, "This trip to the palace must be to ask about you selling your swords on the streets, so you should be careful."


    Ling Shuang looked at Hu Li''s eyes that were filled with worry, and could not help but secretly sigh. Then, he mounted his horse and rode off together with Fang Yu.


    Fang Yu and Ling Shuang were riding together, their expressions extremely ugly. Ling Shuang was tightly wrapped in his embrace, so she didn''t dare to anger this guy.


    What happened today was indeed something that she did not clarify with Fang Yu. She only told him to pretend to be sick in Fang Family.


    "Fang Yu, I will enter the palace. Wait for me at home."


    "¡­" Fang Yu pursed his lips and did not answer.


    "Fang Yu, what I mean is, you should go home first ¡­"


    "Continue feigning illness?" Fang Yu took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, "Ling Shuang, I know what you mean by that, but I do not need you to show me your face, and make yourself look so lowly, and even make fun of your father''s Imperial Sword, or even borrow the strength of the world''s public opinion to coerce Emperor, do you know the consequences?"


    Ling Shuang laughed indifferently: "Fang Yu, do you think I am the kind of person who would sit still and wait for death?"


    Fang Yu was startled.


    Ling Shuang looked at the ten li of peach blossoms and slowly said: "I, Ling Shuang, am also a vengeful person! Southern Garden owes me a debt of disgrace, moreover, I am not a rash and reckless woman. You have a hatred that you can''t let go of, and I have one, that''s all. "


    Fang Yu''s body trembled. He sighed and said, "After entering the palace, be careful. I ¡­ "I''ll wait for you at home."


    Before Ling Shuang could even return to the Fang Family, she was caught by the anxious Wei Gonggong halfway through the palace before she headed straight for the Heartrest Palace.


    Just as he entered the hall, he saw his father-in-law, Fang Xiu Wen, kneeling at the entrance of the Heart Nurturing Palace. Ling Shuang thought that the Emperor was much more nimble than he had imagined, it seems like the grudges in the capital had taken effect.


    "Emperor, Fang Family has arrived."


    "Enter!" Emperor Chengping''s voice was full of annoyance.


    Ling Shuang did not panic, she had never been unprepared for a fight, she was clear who the slap would land on. However, the current Emperor was someone who cared about face the most. After his mess today, Fang Xiu Wen''s days were definitely not going to be good. He was in trouble, the Mrs Fang was even more upset.


    The Emperor would definitely not punish him, if not how could he explain this to the people of the world?


    Ling Shuang steadily walked in and saw that other than the Emperor Chengping, there was also a young man wearing a purplish-gold embroidered double-ringed robe standing on the other side of the dragon''s table. The jade crown embedded with the Eastern Pearl further accentuated the noble and elegant look on her face. It was indeed the Great Yan Dynasty''s Crown Prince, Long Chen Yi.


    Long Chen Yi was highly anticipated by the Emperor Chengping and had been sent to Mount Kunlun to learn martial arts since young.


    He had just returned from his travels to gentleness when he bumped into such an interesting matter. He had heard of General Ling''s fame, but he had never met him before. I never thought that I would be so clever as to do something to my royal father. There aren''t many people that can make my royal father go crazy like this today.


    Ling Shuang looked down, not caring about the scolding eyes of the Emperor Chengping and the scrutinizing eyes of the Crown Prince''s highness. With a calm and composed expression, she knelt down and kowtowed, "This humble girl, Ling Shuang, greets Emperor!"


    Ling Shuang kowtowed, "Reporting to Emperor, my evaluation is too high and no one is interested in it."


    Long Chen Yi could not hold it in and almost laughed, he quickly controlled his expression and bowed. He didn''t look at the father''s extremely interesting face, but instead thought that this woman was truly interesting.


    Thinking about how he had traveled all over the world, and had never seen a woman like Ling Shuang, a great general who dared not to wail at night when she was only a mere child, had actually had such a cute, rogue side to him.

 C12

    "Ling Shuang!" The Emperor Chengping glared at Ling Shuang fiercely, but his voice sounded extremely helpless. "The Imperial Sword was bestowed to Old General Ling by the late emperor, and you actually dared to sell it in private. Do you know your crime?"


    Ling Shuang''s expression revealed a touch of sorrow, and the corners of her eyes reddened, as she slowly said, "This humble woman does not dare to sully the treasured sword that the late emperor bestowed to my father for even a moment. In the past, before father died in battle, he had someone hand over the Imperial Sword to my daughter.


    Her voice was originally clear and bright, but this time, it carried a bit of grievance and oppression, causing one to feel pity. Long Chen Yi''s brows slightly knitted as he looked at Ling Shuang with a few more deep meanings.


    "Every day, this humble girl will gently wipe her skin three times before giving it to you. There are countless battles at the ten-year border, and this treasured sword has accompanied this humble girl through countless life and death situations. In fact, when she was besieged by the Wuhuan''s three hundred thousand Steel Cavalry in Qiang City, she believed that there was no chance for her to survive. This was no longer an ordinary sword, but a relative of mine. If it was not a last resort, how could this commoner bear to sell it? "


    Emperor Chengping looked at Ling Shuang''s mournful handsome face and sighed. No matter how much fear a Sovereign King had, they would never treat it as a war between nations.


    This time, he looked at Ling Shuang who was wearing an ill-timed male robe and his Phoenix eyes were slightly red. However, he forcefully suppressed the tears in his eyes and revealed a pitiful expression.


    "Fang Xiu Wen!" Emperor Chengping cast a cold glance at Fang Xiu Wen who was kneeling outside the Heartrest Palace.


    "This official is here!" Fang Xiu Wen originally thought that after His Majesty took away Ling Shuang''s military power and the decline of the Ling Family, coupled with the entanglement between the eldest son and the Ling Family, Ling Shuang finally married into the Fang Family.


    He thought that Ling Shuang was probably scheming for the Fang Family, and had even turned a blind eye to the matter of the Mrs Fang picking Ling Shuang up, but he never thought that Ling Shuang would actually be so bold as to use such a method to defeat him.


    This time, he tremblingly kneeled in front of Emperor Chengping.


    The Emperor Chengping looked at Fang Xiu Wen coldly and said: "It is reasonable to say that this subject''s internal affairs does not concern us, but if we can''t even handle a mere family matter, how can I be at ease and allow you to handle the major affairs of the world? I don''t think it''s a good idea to reject you as the prime minister! "


    "This subject deserves to die ten thousand times for his crimes, and should not have condoned the slut for humiliating the descendant of the Duke of Ling. This subject asks the Emperor to heavily punish him!"


    Fang Xiu Wen kneeled on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, his voice trembling.


    It was impossible for the Emperor Chengping to remove Fang Xiu Wen from his position as Prime Minister. Moreover, he guessed that the matter of Ling Shuang being involved was due to the instability of the Fang Family.


    "Forget it, your wife''s first rank ¨C Madam Chun Shun''s title is really not a good one. I''ll just take it back!"


    Fang Xiu Wen was sweating profusely. Mrs Fang and Empress Chen were the same mother, and the Chen family had a very strong and robust external force. The Mrs Fang only had a first rank title, and being deprived of that title was the first time in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, so such a humiliation would probably anger the Chen family.


    "Understood!" Fang Xiu Wen did not dare refute him.


    The Emperor Chengping swept his eyes across Ling Shuang and said, "Since Ling Shuang has become your Fang Family''s daughter-in-law, how can you, as her father, be biased against him? I think you know exactly what to do in the future. "


    "This subject will follow the teachings of the Emperor!" This time, Fang Xiu Wen had truly tasted Ling Shuang''s sharpness, how could he dare neglect it?


    "Ling Shuang, I will remember your hard work and hard work. We will grant you the title of princess An Ping."


    Ling Shuang didn''t expect that the Emperor Chengping would gift her with such a huge gift. However, in comparison to continuing to hold onto the title of Marquis with heavy soldiers, she felt that it would be better to reward her with the title of a princess. This old man''s scheme was not bad, and she accepted it with ease.


    Relying on her achievements, the emperor had long bestowed upon him, the Ling Family was never good at plotting, when he was still alive, he had offended too many powerful people, even the Emperor did not like him. No one brought up the matter of the bounty. Even he had probably forgotten about it.


    "This humble girl kowtows to Emperor," Ling Shuang said as she bowed respectfully.


    "Forget it, you can go now!" However, if you dare to sell Imperial Sword again in the future, be careful I might want your head! " Emperor Chengping''s gaze suddenly turned cold.


    Ling Shuang quickly replied: "This humble girl doesn''t dare!"


    "Go, go!" Emperor Chengping waved his hand and left Fang Xiu Wen behind.


    Ling Shuang followed the Wei Gonggong out of the Heart Nurturing Palace, and the attitude she received from the Wei Gonggong was much gentler. She was prepared to follow to the Fang Family to declare her orders in a while.


    "Miss Ling, please wait!"


    Ling Shuang was startled and immediately turned to look, only to see that it was Long Chen Yi who had chased him out.


    "Wei Gonggong, you can go to the Fang Family and announce the news yourself. I have some military matters to discuss with you," Long Chen Yi said in a proud and pampered manner.


    The Wei Gonggong did not dare to hesitate and quickly left. The King of the Kingdom was the future emperor, he could not afford to offend him.


    Ling Shuang looked at Long Chen Yi strangely. She didn''t seem to have any relationship with this Crown Prince Highness, right?


    Long Chen Yi looked at Ling Shuang''s pair of phoenix eyes that were filled with doubt and smiled slightly, "General Ling''s acting for today''s show is not bad!"


    Ling Shuang frowned: "If Your Highness has anything to say, please say it quickly. My husband will wait at home for my daughter''s return."


    Long Chen Yi''s unchanging demeanor immediately split open to reveal a gap, he did not expect his reaction to be so obvious, so he quickly restrained himself.


    The word ''husband'' that came out of Ling Shuang''s mouth caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable. She then laughed lightly: "I brought a batch of horses from gentleness, and I want to ask Miss Ling to help pick them out. Tomorrow, I will send people to the Fang Residence to bring the young lady over to my Crown Prince Palace for a gathering."


    Ling Shuang''s heart was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Was there something wrong with her head? She was now a Second Young Madam, was this really appropriate?


    "Ha!" Miss Ling doesn''t need to worry. You are a princess, and you chose a war horse for great swallow.


    Ling Shuang had just added a bet on Emperor, so she really couldn''t afford to offend the future storage monarch. She nodded and said, "I''ll go then!"


    The corner of Long Chen Yi''s mouth curled up in a bit of a defeated feeling. Although he had created the Crown Prince Concubine, the four seats of the consort were still empty. Only Ling Shuang''s cold words made him more and more curious.


    However, this woman had already married into a woman. He really didn''t like this news.


    "Someone, come!"


    "Lord Crown Prince?" Two guards in tight-uniformed clothing quickly walked out from behind a tree not far away from them.


    Send people over to check on the background of Ling Shuang and the Fang Family! I want to know all the assets and properties of General Ling! "


    The coldness in Long Chen Yi''s eyes was terrifying.

 C13

    Ling Shuang walked out of the palace gate. Outside, Cha Zi and Yan Hong were anxiously waiting, but when they saw that Ling Shuang had walked out unharmed, they immediately went to welcome him.


    "Eldest Miss, are you alright?"


    "Eldest Miss, you scared us to death."


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine, aren''t I?" Ling Shuang smiled, then thought that he should go back to the Ling Family.


    I''m sure Grandmother would be very angry if she caused such a commotion today!


    "Cha Zi, you should return to the Fang Residence to inform Young Master of your safety. Yan Hong, you should follow me back to the Ling Family!"


    As expected, Ling Shuang had just returned to the Ling Residence and was called over by the Old Madam Ling. She knelt in front of the tablet for three whole incense sticks of time, and only when it was night was she invited to the front hall.


    Eldest Sister-in-Law, Second Sister-in-Law was also present. The entire family was at a loss as they looked at Ling Shuang, the daughter of the Ling Family who had betrayed everyone.


    When the Duke of Ling was still alive, he paid the most attention to reputation. Who would have thought that the grandson who was born in Ling Family and wanted to sell the Duke of Ling''s Imperial Sword would actually still be Ling Shuang?


    Old Madam Ling was so angry that her face turned green. She had a strange feeling that ever since the last time this child was saved from poison, his temperament seemed to have changed.


    Previously, Ling Shuang regarded the glory of his family as more important than her own life, and what she had done this time around would definitely shock Ling Family.


    "Grandmother, don''t be angry. Shuang Er knew she was wrong, "Ling Shuang said as she kowtowed to the old Grandmother who was seated on the throne. She was full of guilt, so she quickly knelt down and apologized to the old Grandmother.


    "Shuang Er, you have truly disappointed me. How could you?" Old Madam Ling''s tears fell.


    A trace of unbearable pain flashed past Ling Shuang''s eyes as she slowly said: "Grandmother, it is Shuang Er''s fault that Shuang Er did not discuss this matter with Old Grandmother, but Shuang Er selling swords on the streets was the right decision by Shuang Er."


    "You!" Old Madam Ling did not expect Ling Shuang to still be so unyielding, but she could not bear to punish him, after all, she had watched him grow up.


    She had gone to the Frontier Trial at such a young age, but she had never experienced the good times that ordinary women her age enjoyed. In fact, the entire Ling Family owed this daughter far too much. Old Madam Ling leaned against the chair in dejection, the corners of his mouth trembling and his tears could not be stopped.


    "Grandmother! Fang Yu was right, "Fang Yu hurried into the main hall of the Ling Family, followed by the panicking butler who obviously did not manage to block him out.


    Ling Family was immediately dumbstruck, only to see Fang Yu striding to Ling Shuang''s side and kneeling next to her.


    Fang Yu''s actions surprised Ling Shuang. Although he was a hedonistic son of a rich family, he was also the most arrogant person in the capital. Back then, when the Mrs Fang was pressuring him like that, even a five year old child like him was forced to resist until the end. Now, however, he was actually kneeling in front of his old Grandmother.


    Old Madam Ling sighed: "Get up!"


    It was his own grandson and daughter who had made the mistake. He couldn''t possibly punish the second young master of the Prime Minister''s Estate to kneel as well, right? Moreover, she also cherished her own grandson''s daughter, and couldn''t bear to make Ling Shuang kneel down again.


    Fang Yu carefully helped Ling Shuang up, but he still bowed politely towards the old lady and said, "Grandmother, Shuang Er''s actions are absolutely correct."


    Old Madam Ling was surprised.


    Fang Yu continued to speak, "Please forgive this junior for being presumptuous, but it is an indisputable fact that Ling Family has already declined. Logically speaking, with Shuang Er''s outstanding achievements, even if she was a woman, if she couldn''t be conferred the title of a king, she should still have a title to bestow upon her. But did anyone from the heavens and the earth ask for a reward? The Ling Family was too embarrassed to ask for it himself, and the Emperor did not remember either, so it is clear that the Ling Family does not have enough of it right now. "


    Old Madam Ling''s face turned bitter, then suddenly said: "Brother-in-law is right."


    Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Alright then, I''ll go take a look!" At the moment, his body was trembling from excitement and the Second Young Madam was hurriedly supporting him.


    "Grandmother, our Ling Family has always placed too much importance on good reputations, and has suffered a lot from it. They did not know that jackals running like wolves depended on their strength. Now that little sister had made a ruckus like this, they knew that Ling Family was not the kind of person to be easily bullied.


    Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Alright then, I''ll help you out!"


    Now that he said it, Old Madam Ling''s heart also understood. His own son had previously kept a low profile and offended many people. Although his reputation was not bad, Ling Family ended up in this state.


    Her murky eyes slowly closed. Perhaps she really was wrong?


    "Old madam, someone from the Fang Family has arrived!" Mother Zhang who was beside Old Madam Ling hurriedly came in to report.


    Ling Shuang and Fang Yu looked at each other, and knew that the main character had come.


    After a while, Fang Heng slowly walked in with Fang Family''s steward and follower. When he saw that the room was filled with Ling Family s, his expression became even more embarrassed.


    "This nephew pays respects to Old Madam Ling!" Fang Heng braced himself and bowed.


    Old Madam Ling naturally didn''t have a good expression on her face, she snorted and said: "This old one doesn''t dare to accept such a great gift, Ling Family also doesn''t welcome Young Master Fang, please go back!"


    Fang Heng''s forehead emitted a slight chill, suppressing the impatience on his face. He had come here today to beg for forgiveness on behalf of his mother, Mrs Fang, so he couldn''t just go back and resist the coldness of the Old Madam Ling. He simply bowed and said, "Old Madam Ling, today, this nephew is going to follow my mother''s orders to bring my younger sister back."


    Old Madam Ling also knew how Fang Family treated his grandson''s daughter as she sneered and said: "Are you here to beg for forgiveness on behalf of the Fang Family?"


    Fang Heng''s face turned slightly red, and he forced himself to speak in a low voice, "There is a misunderstanding between my mother and sister-in-law. I hope that Old Madam Ling and sister-in-law will not keep it in their hearts."


    He immediately turned around and looked at Ling Shuang, suppressing the anger in his eyes. It was all this damnable woman, she must be taking her revenge. Although this was a great disgrace to the heavens, his mother had personally stressed that he must endure it, so he invited Ling Shuang back to the Fang Family.


    "Sister-in-law, mother has already cleaned up West Garden''s courtyard. You and Second Brother, follow me back to Fang Family!" Fang Heng''s tone was stiff, but it carried a hint of pleading.


    Ling Shuang sneered to herself, West Garden is naturally better than Southern Garden. However, the time is almost up. She smiled and said, "Forget it, it''s rare for mother to have such thoughts. Let''s go back!" "What do you think, Darling?"


    Fang Yu nodded his head: "Then we will be taking our leave from Grandmother, the house will definitely be bustling with noise and excitement, Shuang Er, don''t you think it''s best for us to go back and join in the fun?"


    Ling Shuang looked at the cold intent that flashed across Fang Yu''s eyes. She suddenly froze, as if Fang Yu still had a trump card. Logically speaking, if Mrs Fang was punished by His Majesty today, Fang Yu should be happy, but why was he angrier than before?


    How could she understand that when Fang Yu saw that he had been punished to kneel down in front of the Old Madam Ling, it was as if his heart had been set on fire.


    "Grandmother, we will be going home first," Ling Shuang pulled Fang Yu and said goodbye.


    "Forget it, you can go back now!" The Old Madam Ling waved her hand weakly. Perhaps she had been in charge of the Ling Family for too long, the Ling Family needed a more suitable leader.

 C14

    Just as Ling Shuang and Fang Yu walked out of the Ling Residence''s gate, they saw an extremely gorgeous horse carriage parked at the entrance. Golden Hibiscus was embroidered at the corner of the carriage shed, and it was decorated with pearls and looked extremely bright.


    Ling Shuang''s heart froze, the profoundness in her eyes also hid, and he pulled her hand onto the carriage.


    "Fang Yu?"


    "Shh!" Fang Yu pointed outside, with the walls and ears, he then lowered his voice and said: "The more Mrs Fang is like this, the more we have to be careful."


    How could Ling Shuang not know that anyone would become angry from embarrassment when encountering something like being deprived of their title. Mrs Fang''s tolerance was truly admirable.


    The carriage quickly arrived at Fang Family, and the way the carriage looked at Fang Yu and her wife clearly showed that it looked a little more probing and a little more fearful.


    Ling Shuang raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Jin Tang''s brilliant lights as she faintly smiled and walked in. maidservant had long since welcomed him at the second door and carefully attended to him.


    Fang Xiu Wen had already taken off his official clothes and changed into his regular clothes. Seeing that Ling Shuang had finally returned from Ling Family, he couldn''t help but secretly sigh in relief.


    Mrs Fang was wearing a purple silk jacket, and there was a look of exhaustion on his face. Ling Wan smiled as she welcomed them and blessed them: "Sister-in-law sure makes us wait! Quickly come in, the food is cold!"


    "Humph!" Fang Yue looked away, unhappy. Fang Family''s reputation had long been tarnished by Ling Shuang, and her marriage would probably be implicated as well.


    Only Fang Fei stood quietly and watched Ling Shuang with interest from behind Auntie Du. She actually dared to challenge the entire Fang Family in such a manner;


    Ling Shuang''s gaze slowly swept across, and suddenly discovered a simple dressed lady looking at her gently in the west corner. Beside her, a four or five-year-old boy was timidly standing, and his bright eyes were curiously looking at Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang could not help but smile slightly. She then turned around and ignored the smiling Ling Wan who had stiffened her face, and bowed to Fang Xiu Wen and his wife who were seated in the main seat.


    Ling Wan completely ignored Ling Wan, and the hatred in her eyes grew stronger as she stood beside Fang Heng, feeling wronged.


    "Forget it, I''m already tired!" Eat! " Fang Xiu Wen waved his hand.


    The Mrs Fang gave Ling Shuang a bland smile, "West Garden is close to the lake, the scenery is also not bad. The two of you can move over tomorrow. I have already allocated six rough girls, six rough girls, eight second-rate girls, and four big girls. If you need anything else, just let me know. "


    Just as Ling Shuang was about to reply, sshe didn''t want Fang Yu to gently tug at her. She looked astonished at Fang Yu as he slowly walked forward and said, "Father, mother, your child feels that this West Garden''s Shuang Er cannot stay here."


    The entire hall of Cheng Jin Tang fell silent. No matter how much Mrs Fang endured, a hint of sternness flashed past his eyes.


    It was already the limit of kindness for Mrs Fang to be able to do this, but to think that Fang Yu would still continue to pester him.


    He suppressed his displeasure and frowned as he looked at his seemingly unfamiliar second son: "Why can''t I live in the West Garden?"


    Fang Yu replied, "Shuang Er has been out fighting all year round. With the illness on her legs, most of the houses near the lake have moist and thick water vapor. I think the East Garden is very nice."


    Fang Xiu Wen was startled, the East Garden was currently living with Fang Heng and his family, and the one living near the East Garden was the most beloved Fang Yue in all of Mrs Fang.


    Fang Yu''s words must let these two people have their own space! It was just that he could not refute the reasons that Fang Yu had given, because Emperor had asked him to treat Ling Shuang well! Just as he was hesitating, Fang Yue suddenly rushed in front of Fang Yu.


    "second brother! You''re going too far! "For such a shameless woman ¡­"


    "Fang Yu, you dare hit me?!" Fang Yue immediately stopped calling out to the second brother.


    Ling Shuang was actually shocked, in truth, Fang Yue insulting her in such a manner was not a big deal, she did not think that Fang Yu would actually hit her own little sister for her.


    "Fang Yue, she is your Second Sister-in-Law, please know some manners!"


    "Daddy, he hit me, he actually hit me?!" Fang Yue ran in front of Fang Xiu Wen while crying, "Daddy, quickly chase this bastard out of the Fang Family!"


    Pow! Mrs Fang suddenly slapped Fang Yue who could not even hide his face as he shouted: "This is getting more and more unruly! Get out! "


    "Mother?" In Fang Yue''s entire life, he had never seen his mother get so angry. As he looked at Mrs Fang in disbelief, his body stiffened up.


    The coldness in Mrs Fang''s eyes deepened as he said to the stunned maidservant: "Still not sending Eldest Miss back to her room?"


    Zhao mama, who was beside Mrs Fang, was the first to react. She hurriedly brought Fang Yue, who had cried to the point where he couldn''t even look anymore, out of the parlour.


    Fang Xiu Wen''s expression was extremely ugly, but Ling Shuang was surprised to discover that Fang Xiu Wen seemed to be very sensitive to Fang Yu''s background. He wondered what kind of person Fang Yu''s birth mother was to give birth to such a handsome, peerless person like Fang Yu.


    She quietly and gently gripped Fang Yu''s trembling fist that was hidden in her sleeve. Fang Yu''s hand that was tightly clenched into a fist instantly relaxed and he tightly held Ling Shuang''s small hand behind his back. Ling Shuang seemed to have become the last straw of hope in his life.


    Mrs Fang turned around and looked at Fang Heng, who was trying his best to suppress his emotions. He scanned him with a warning gaze and said slowly, "Since your second brother has mentioned it, you two can move out of East Garden tomorrow morning! West Garden is close to the lake, and it''s also suitable for Wan''er to have babies. "


    Fang Heng bowed and said, "This child will depend on mother to make the decision."


    Ling Wan, who was at the side, looked at Ling Shuang unhappily. She had truly misjudged this woman. Before, he only knew that she, the Elder Sis, had simple thoughts. Other than having talent in military matters, she was really dumb enough. Since when had she become so agile?


    Ling Wan hid her jealousy and hatred, she did not believe that she would not have the chance to take care of her in the future. If Ling Shuang were to fall into her trap again, she would definitely make it so that she would never be able to recover.


    Ling Shuang then followed Fang Yu back to the Southern Garden. Although it was in ruins, she felt much more comfortable than when she was in the Cheng Jin Tang.


    However, Cha Zi and Yan Hong''s face were brimming with joy. This time, watching those bitches get humiliated was truly a satisfying thing. They never thought that the dull Eldest Miss would have such a shrewd and scheming time. The more they thought about it, the more pleased they were that there was hope for the revival of the Ling Family.


    When the two little girls saw Fang Yu walk in with a jade cup in his hands, they immediately withdrew.


    At this moment, Ling Shuang, who had already taken off her outer clothes and was about to go to bed, saw that Fang Yu did not go to the East District but instead came to find her. Just as he was about to stand up, Fang Yu gently patted her shoulder and sat on the side of the bed.


    "Did you kneel for that long in Ling Family today? Does your knee hurt? " Fang Yu said as he rolled up Ling Shuang''s skirt.


    "Don''t," Ling Shuang said with a red face.


    "Don''t move!" It was an unquestionable order.


    Fang Yu used his fingers to scoop out some ointment from the Cyan Jade Cup and gently rubbed it across Ling Shuang''s painful knees. A warm current immediately engulfed Ling Shuang''s cold and lonely heart.


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu''s hoarse voice was trying his best to restrain something, "In half a year, I will grant you a lifetime of glory!"

 C15

    The copper leak in the pavilion drooped down bit by bit, and a strange atmosphere pervaded the air. Ling Shuang''s face was slightly flushed. She looked at Fang Yu half kneeling on the ground, and half patted her breath while she was massaging her slightly aching joints.


    "This solution is specially used to treat cold. I''m afraid your joints have been affected by the cold before. I just found this medicine, it should be over soon after I help you rub it once a day."


    Ling Shuang looked at Fang Yu''s forehead which was half drooped in shock. The several times he went out mysteriously recently was to find medicine for her.


    "You ¡­ How do you know I have a leg problem? "


    Fang Yu looked up at her and laughed: "That night, I saw you fight with those black-clothed people. Your kick was very powerful, but your joint was obviously not very flexible."


    Ling Shuang''s heart was moved, his observation skills were indeed meticulous.


    Fang Yu''s fingers stiffened, his heart suddenly felt pain, after that he carefully transferred the medicine into Ling Shuang''s knees bit by bit.


    "It''s fine if you don''t want to be a great general, but a golden horse is like a horse wrapped in a piece of leather and wrapped in a corpse. It''s not something to be trifled with. Shuang Er, I actually hope that you can continue to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life. "


    Since she was young, she should have been living with all kinds of expectations. Ling Family hoped that she would bring glory to her family, Emperor hoped that she would be able to establish her own territory, the people wanted her to protect her family and protect her country, but the person in front of her was the only one who wished that she would be able to safely be an ordinary person. She hid the tears in her eyes and asked: "Oh right, why did you let me stay in East Garden today? I think it''s a bit too much? "


    Fang Yu kept the ointment, and carefully put down Ling Shuang''s petticoat as he smiled at her: "Foolish girl, there are some cunning foxes that would only reveal themselves when they are forced to the point of ruthlessness."


    Ling Shuang suddenly realized that Fang Yu was trying to force the Mrs Fang to make a move earlier!


    "However, Mrs Fang doesn''t look like someone who can''t hold his temper," Ling Shuang had thought up to this point that Mrs Fang was able to personally slap his daughter in the face.


    Fang Yu laughed coldly, looked at the moon outside the window and slowly said: "She can hold her temper, but what about the people around her?"


    Ling Shuang shivered as she looked at Fang Yu''s devilish cold smile. Fang Yu was planning to remove one feather after another from Mrs Fang''s body!


    turned around and helped Ling Shuang to sleep on the bed. Seeing her confused eyes that were a little cute, she couldn''t help but smile and lift his hand to rub her straight nose.


    Ling Shuang''s body stiffened. She''s older than him by three years, okay? Why did it feel like he was looking at a child? That doting gaze made her shiver.


    "Alright, stop thinking so much. If you keep staring at me like that, I''m afraid of me," Fang Yu suddenly pressed a kiss on Ling Shuang''s forehead. Looking at Ling Shuang''s stupefied expression, he laughed, "I''m afraid I can''t control myself, enough, go to sleep!"


    Fang Yu tucked the corner of her blanket up for Ling Shuang and got up to leave. The entire warm pavilion was so quiet that only Ling Shuang''s somewhat heavy breathing could be heard. He suddenly pulled up her blanket and covered himself in it, not wanting to go out again. This was too embarrassing, she was actually infatuated with Fang Yu and wanted to live.


    Early the next morning, a dozen or so maidservant s rushed in to help Ling Shuang move the random things she used to marry and live with to the East Garden.


    What caused Ling Shuang to be shocked was that both Fang Heng and the East Garden had emptied their belongings and moved to the West Garden in just one night, leaving Ling Shuang and Fang Yu no place to stay.


    The few girls that the first wife had sent over, Ling Shuang, were arranged to wait on her outside the second door. Only Cha Zi and Yan Hong were left by her side, the rest were not allowed to come close to her.


    Ling Shuang looked at East Garden''s rows and rows of beautiful cornices and couldn''t help but click her tongue. Fang Family was indeed a hundred year old Great Clan, including Fang Xiu Wen who came from three dynasties, the disciples of Fang Family were all either rich or noble, one could see this from the aura of the building.


    Today, she finally saw the true face of the Fang Family. It was no wonder that the Fang Family looked down on the Ling Family.


    She stepped onto the cobblestone path as she walked forward. In a row of three courtyards, the place in the middle was the place where she and Fang Yu lived. The main house was carved and decorated, and the eaves protruded magnificently.


    Inside the room, there were many treasures, purple sandalwood bookshelves, books that were like the clouds, and a censer that was neatly placed without a speck of dust. Although it looked ordinary, none of them were ordinary. They were truly luxurious items that were kept a low profile.


    "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam is safe!" The Mother Zhao beside the First Madam quickly took a few steps forward to give her respects, "The Madam ordered the servants to temporarily purchase these things for the Second Young Master and Second Young Madam, if they were to use them inappropriately, then we can let Xiang Zhui take the match and bring it to the storage room at the back."


    An extremely delicate and pretty looking maid walked forward and saluted Fang Yu and Ling Shuang: "This servant, Xiang Zhui, pays his respects to Second Young Master."


    She bowed and blessed herself, but then she smiled faintly at Fang Yu. The deep meaning in her expression made Ling Shuang feel extremely uncomfortable.


    Fang Yu just snorted coldly, but turned around and held Ling Shuang''s hand as they walked into the inner hall: "Shuang Er, let''s go over there and take a look! I think it''s good for your legs to have a land dragon in the East Warm Pavilion in the winter. I''ll send some people to clean up the west wing and create a study to store your terrifying weapons and magic scrolls, okay? Shuang Er, do you think we can open an octagonal window at the back of the building? This way, when you get tired of reading and reading, you can even look through the window to see the bananas outside. "


    Xiang Zhui''s deep affection for Fang Yu was completely ignored by him, the corners of his eyes twitched, didn''t this playboy like beauties? The first wife even told her last night that she had to grab onto Second Young Master''s heart.


    But now, Second Young Master''s eyes were filled with that woman. She could not help but clench her fist, and the hatred in her eyes increased.


    Not only Xiang Zhui, even the experienced Mother Zhao were also dumbfounded by what they saw. Could it be that this Ling Shuang truly had his own path? Why did it make the Second Young Master, who never changed his personality? Just look at him, the Second Young Master was fearful of his wife like a tiger!


    Ling Shuang, who was sitting beside the Eastern Warm Pavilion''s desk, could no longer hold it in. She pointed at Fang Yu''s nose and laughed, "You, you ¡­ .don''t you see that the little girl is almost crying from anger? "You should at least put on airs at being a popinjay."


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu''s eyes were filled with a solemn look as he looked at Ling Shuang''s exquisite yet threatening features, "Besides you, I will never treat anyone else as a popinjay in this life. However, if you''re willing, Husband can do it anytime you want ¡­"


    "Stop!" Ling Shuang waved her hand awkwardly. She and Fang Yu had only had a relationship for half a year, she still wanted to find the blood jade and return to her world. Everything here was just her passerby. She shouldn''t have put too much emotion into it, she shouldn''t have stopped there.


    "Shuang Er, you have always been this... Fang Yu laughed helplessly, the loneliness in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

 C16

    Ling Shuang felt her heart thump when she saw Fang Yu''s scrutinizing gaze. This fellow, no matter how she looked at him, she seemed to be feeling jealous. When she met Crown Prince Long Chen Yi yesterday, she thought that she was just ridiculing her for nothing more than having nothing to do. Therefore, Ling Shuang did not take this matter to heart, and did not tell Fang Yu about it either. She did not expect Long Chen Yi to actually send people.


    "Shuang Er, don''t you want to explain?" Fang Yu was a little jealous. He seemed to care more and more about Ling Shuang. No matter what kind of being it was, as long as it was a male, they would have something to do with Ling Shuang.


    "Yesterday, when I went to the palace to visit the Emperor, I coincidentally bumped into his highness the Crown Prince. He said that he had just bought a batch of war horses from the gentleness and wanted me to help him pick them out. There were too many things happening yesterday, I had actually forgotten about it, "Ling Shuang said truthfully.


    Fang Yu''s face relaxed a bit. He actually did not take the rumored, who was full of gratitude, to heart; However, the Crown Prince was definitely the most popular man among the nobles in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.


    "Oh, then hurry up and change your clothes. I''ll accompany you!"


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Ling Shuang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.


    "I fear my wife like a tiger. If you want me to go with you, I won''t dare. What do you think? Shuang Er? " Fang Yu looked at Ling Shuang''s expression and her handsome eyebrows slanted upwards.


    Ling Shuang laughed inside, since he wanted to go, he would have to rely on her title of a shrew. Even though she felt like she was being controlled by others, she was still very happy. Happiness? She quickly dispelled this thought. Could she have really been poisoned by Fang Yu?


    The Fang Residence was stirred up, the servants carefully looked at the beautiful carriage that had stopped at the entrance. The symbol of the Crown Prince Residence on it blinded everyone''s eyes.


    Fang Heng and Ling Wan were also about to go out when they coincidentally met Fang Yu and Ling Shuang. Fang Yu walked out and stood beside the carriage sent by the Crown Prince Palace, and the driver was one of Crown Prince''s most capable subordinates, Qian Shan.


    Qian Shan, who was dressed in black robes, was extremely respectful to Ling Shuang, and after bowing, he allowed the two of them to enter the carriage.


    Fang Heng looked on in shock. When did Ling Shuang get involved with someone from the Crown Prince Palace? This time, he was more and more unable to fathom her personality. Previously, she had only known Ling Shuang as a courageous and unscrupulous shrew, which was why he was in love with her.


    But the current Ling Shuang was becoming more and more curious, shocked, and even had the desire to explore further.


    Ling Wan followed Fang Heng''s line of sight and looked at Ling Shuang. She suddenly felt that it was too much for her, she couldn''t help but admit that this Ling Shuang was shockingly beautiful, but she wasn''t willing to let this cheap Elder Sis snatch away the line of sight that belonged to her.


    "Husband, the baby seems to have moved!" Ling Wan exclaimed softly, her face that was like a tender peach blossom wore an extremely sweet smile.


    Fang Heng turned his head to look at Ling Wan who was supporting her and laughed: "Why aren''t you getting into the carriage? Today, Lang Yue''s troupe has put on a good performance. Let''s go and take a look. "


    "Husband, aren''t you going to the Han Lin Courtyard to serve as a teacher? "It''s best to avoid these places in the future," Ling Wan''s mind was also full of plans, as long as Fang Heng could work harder, work harder, and be the champion of this career, she would have some face.


    A hint of annoyance flashed across Fang Heng''s face. From the moment Ling Wan was carried into the Fang Residence, why had she become nagging? Just like his mother, he had followed his mother''s path since she was young. Actually, he was quite annoyed with this kind of thing.


    On the other hand, Ling Shuang playing around with Fang Yu everyday should also be very interesting, right? Fang Heng was shocked. What was wrong with him?


    After about half an incense''s time, the carriage of the Crown Prince Palace finally stopped in front of a mansion. Ling Shuang jumped off the carriage, raised her eyes, and fiercely took in a breath of cold air.


    The majestic and spectacular Crown Prince Palace stood in front of them, occupying an extremely wide area. Dragon towers, red walls, or green bamboo cover, dozens of miles around the dense forest, the weather thousands of times.


    Ling Shuang thought to herself that the Emperor Chengping did indeed hold this eldest son in high regard. Who else could compare to the Crown Prince Palace in the capital other than the imperial palace?


    Just as she was about to follow Qian Shan in, she heard the sound of galloping from behind her. Just as she turned around, her shoulder was heavily embraced.


    "Ling Shuang, why are you here?" Hu Li''s starry eyes were filled with joy.


    "Fox, what are you doing here?" Ling Shuang also laughed and asked, she was completely unaware of Fang Yu''s murderous gaze, as she smashed her fist on Hu Li''s chest, showing her brotherly feelings.


    "Today, Crown Prince would like to prepare a new army for the imperial guards. I, as a member of the army, naturally have come to take a look."


    "Is that so? "That''s great, Master Crown Prince just so happened to let me come over to advise you too," Ling Shuang liked Hu Li''s straightforward personality very much, and was extremely happy when talking to him. He felt that he had returned to the Marine Corps that he had stayed in before and was enjoying life with his comrades. It was truly a great feeling!


    "Crown Prince asked you to come?" Hu Li s straight eyebrows fiercely knitted, but inwardly, he was a bit suspicious. It was reasonable to say that since Ling Shuang had already been removed from the army, it would not make sense for the Crown Prince to call her over.


    "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun," Fang Yu could not take it anymore. This man with tanned skin, a robust body and a cunning and unusual aura really made him uncomfortable. This "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun" had a slight note to it, as it clearly added a lot of things, such as ridicule.


    When Hu Li saw Ling Shuang just now, he felt that she was the only person in the world. Ling Shuang was her moon, so he couldn''t see the surrounding little stars or anything like that.


    When he suddenly saw Fang Yu this time, he was actually a little stunned.


    "It is a husband''s natural duty to protect his wife. Just wait for me to take care of the others, right?" Fang Yu raised his hand and knocked down the arm that was still wrapped around Ling Shuang''s shoulder.


    Hu Li frowned, you bastard! And it was even f * * king painful! When did this brat become strong, and when did Fang Yu use his Qi? Could it be that Ling Shuang had even passed on this inner force cultivation method to him? He was so jealous that he went berserk, turning around to look at Fang Yu''s smiling yet not smiling face.


    "Yo!" So it was Second Young Master Fang! "You are Liu Liufeng, the weak one. If you are standing next to us bunch of barbarians, you better not let your guard down!"


    "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun is overthinking. Under my wife''s guidance, I''m no longer that Fang Yu from before, and I still have to thank my wife for being considerate.

 C17

    Ling Shuang saw that the two of them were fighting and felt a headache coming on, but she did not care. She then turned towards the dumbstruck Qian Shan and laughed embarrassedly: "Let''s go first, the two of them uh ¡­ It''ll be a while. "


    "Yes sir!" Qian Shan nodded with a smile in her eyes, he turned and looked at Ling Shuang with surprise, as expected, the woman her master had set his eyes on, was interesting. It was a pity that he was already married. He didn''t know what her master wanted his to do.


    The smell of gunpowder from the two men became stronger and stronger.


    "I really don''t know what Ling Shuang is thinking, a good piece of Icy Jade Pure Jade Cuisine has been pierced by a pig like you," Hu Li had always had the most venomous mouth in the army camp, and this time he could not really cut Fang Yu down with a single slash.


    "Ha ha!" Fang Yu''s beautiful white robe with peach markings made him look even more peerless.


    With a swoosh, he opened the folding fan and sighed. "What a pity. A certain pig has been looking at this person for six whole years without being able to get even the slightest bit of mercy from him. How pitiful!"


    "Fang Yu!" Hu Li was enraged, as this violated his taboo, he suddenly raised his sword to attack, but did not expect the sword''s edge to be grabbed by Fang Yu''s fingers.


    Hu Li was shocked. The sword that had been following him for many years suddenly broke apart in the middle, just like his expression right now.


    The one who used his Spirit Qi to break his treasured sword was actually Fang Yu? If that was the case, then there were very few people in the martial arts world who could match him, so it turned out that this bastard was always acting pitifully in front of Ling Shuang?


    "You ¡­"


    "Shut up! If you don''t want to cause trouble for Shuang Er! " Fang Yu''s peach blossom eyes suddenly sank. In Hu Li''s eyes, that wave of dark ruthlessness was so unfamiliar and yet so real as it tore apart his soul. He had always been fearless, but this was the first time he felt a hint of fear in his heart.


    But Hu Li was not like ordinary people, the fear was immediately suppressed by reason. This bastard was right. It would not be easy for him to tear off all decorum in front of the Crown Prince Palace. If there was a chance, he would definitely find Ling Shuang and ask him about it.


    "Humph!" Hu Li placed the broken half of the sword back into the sword sheath, and then hid the other half, oppressing his heart to the extreme.


    Fang Yu turned around and waved his fan gently. He looked like an elegant and refined young noble, as if the pressure that could engulf everything had nothing to do with him.


    Although Hu Li was shocked by Fang Yu''s power, he was not at the stage where he lost control of himself. He was a born military family, what kind of life or death had he not seen before?


    "Fang Yu, I must take off your mask and let Ling Shuang see your true face," Hu Li said as he clenched his teeth and stared at the receding Fang Yu.


    In the end, Ling Shuang was still worried, so she slowed down her footsteps. However, when she saw Fang Yu gracefully walk over, she couldn''t help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.


    "Hu Li didn''t hurt you, right?"


    "Thank you for your concern, my wife," the corner of Fang Yu''s lips curled up, and in his heart, Ling Shuang still favored him.


    The two of them followed Qian Shan to a garden in Crown Prince''s Palace, and the fake mountain they met head on landed in the pool.


    The pavilion was exceptionally wide, and the surroundings were covered with a transparent plain gauze. This plain muslin was thin like a cicada''s wing and was worth thousands of gold coins. Normal people wouldn''t be able to use it. Even the inner court of the Imperial Palace was rarely used, unless it was used as an undergarment for the princes.


    However, such expensive plain gauze was actually used by Long Chen Yi as a curtain of sand to obscure the light.


    In that moment, a strong feeling rose in Ling Shuang''s heart, that Crown Prince was not the person who thought about the world as he had said. Being extravagant and obscene was a type of nature, but Long Chen Yi had concealed this nature within his gentle and refined appearance, a facade that would benefit the entire world.


    There were already a few people vaguely seated in the pavilion, the pink dressed servant girl lifted the curtain, and Ling Shuang and Fang Yu slowly walked into the pavilion.


    The pavilions were covered with rare snow blankets woven from the finest camel cashmere on the northern border. Furthermore, one had to be a lamb of one year old to take out the soft, white, and snowy cashmere.


    On the snowy felt, there were several tables carved from green jade, and around them, there was a soft bed with purple sandalwood inlaid with precious stones.


    Long Chen Yi, who was seated in the middle, raised his eyes to look at Fang Yu, who was following behind him, and a hint of unhappiness flashed across his face.


    However, if there were too many lice, he would not bite them.


    Ling Shuang, on the other hand, did not think as much as she did, and slowly took a step forward and bowed towards Long Chen Yi: "Your Highness Crown Prince is doing well!"


    "The Miss Ling is here, take a seat," Long Chen Yi called out to her intentionally, causing her to pinch her lips tightly.


    Not long after, Hu Li also came over, and after greeting Crown Prince, he sat at the table with Fang Yu and his wife on purpose. Fang Yu turned his body slightly to the side and moved Ling Shuang closer to him, while he sat next to Hu Li.


    Ling Shuang felt that Fang Yu''s appearance was really childish and adorable, rejoicing in his heart, and the corner of his mouth curled up unnaturally.


    Her appearance had always been cold and detached in front of outsiders. This smile that came from the bottom of her heart made her originally delicate face soften a bit. There was actually a hint of charm to it, giving her a different kind of beauty.


    Long Chen Yi''s eyes trembled slightly. The two noble men sitting beside him were also extremely surprised, was this the legendary Great General Zhengxi? If not for his imposing attire, Ling Shuang would have definitely been an extremely rare beauty.


    A twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old man with bottomless black pupils and a fair face like a silver plate, he gave off a calm and dignified feeling.


    The other was younger, more delicate, with two thick, lacquered eyebrows, parted and faintly heroic. This time, she was looking at Ling Shuang with much interest, without a shred of hesitation.


    Ling Shuang''s mind went back and forth, but she still could not get any information on the two from her memories. Could it be that she had never seen two people before?


    Fang Yu lowered his voice and said, "The Chen family''s two sons. The older one is called Chen Pei Wen, and the other is Chen Peiwu. "


    Ling Shuang suddenly realized that they were the sons of his uncle, the Duke of Chen. They were her cousins, the nephew of his uncle. The Mrs Fang that she had designed to harm had been stripped of her title and became the laughingstock of the world. Now that these two appeared here, she immediately became vigilant.

 C18

    Why a woman?


    "Miss Ling, the reason I called you here today is to ask Miss Ling to act as a form of entertainment for us, so that we can identify the war horse that gentleness has sent over. I think Miss Ling has a lot of experience in this area, I will have to trouble you to choose a good breed and use it on the imperial guards. "


    Long Chen Yi was extremely polite as he ordered some people to serve tea to Ling Shuang, Fang Yu and the others. The top-grade silver needles in the teacup were exceptionally clear.


    Ling Shuang slowly said: "Your Highness is too courteous, although I am not a soldier, I will definitely do my best to help with this matter."


    Fang Yu took a sip of his tea and thought, what a fool, I am afraid this Crown Prince has fallen for you, this fierce horse. He never thought that the Crown Prince would join him, and the matter seemed to have become a little troublesome.


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes flashed with unhappiness. Wasn''t this obviously giving Fang Yu an unsightly look? She was just about to flare up when Fang Yu gently pulled on her sleeve.


    Ling Shuang calmed her anger, she could not refute Long Chen Yi''s excuse. Right now, Fang Yu did not have a name on him, because his position in the Fang Family was extremely awkward, and because he did not receive Fang Xiu Wen''s attention, he did not even have a name for himself. How could a commoner dressed in cloth possibly go to a place like the drill grounds?


    Fang Yu faintly smiled towards Long Chen Yi as if he did not mind at all and said: "Your Highness, you are right. It is just that your wife thinks that it is an ordinary banquet and brought me here. I am very sorry."


    Fang Yu''s words were neither haughty nor humble, nor did he speak with fear and trepidation. His natural demeanor of a noble slightly surprised everyone present.


    Hu Li glared at Fang Yu''s face, he only wanted to give his a good look, wasn''t that so? However, this guy was quite black-hearted and still needed to be dealt with properly.


    Fang Yu turned and looked at Hu Li with anger in his eyes and laughed: "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun has stared at me for such a long time, could it be that you fancy me?"


    Puff! Ling Shuang spat out his tea and covered it with her sleeves.


    The others were also shocked and then burst into laughter. For a moment, the reserved atmosphere in the pavilion became a lot more relaxed.


    Hu Li was so angry that his eyes turned black, but he couldn''t give Ling Shuang any trouble. His face had already turned the color of a pig''s liver, and with a cold snort, he drank some tea.


    "Fang Yu, don''t be like this," Ling Shuang looked at Fang Yu with a blaming look, and said with a low voice.


    Fang Yu''s heart sunk, the ridicule on his face turned into ice. He, Fang Yu, was such a stingy man, stingy to the point that he wouldn''t allow others to covet the person he liked.


    Like it? Fang Yu''s heart trembled. So he actually liked Ling Shuang this much?


    "Ling Shuang! Get the hell out here! " A clear and melodious voice pierced through the pavilion as a gaudy figure burst through the silk curtain.


    It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. He wore a flowery dress that was unique to Wuhuan, and his hair was tied up in a small braid with a ruby jade button. The round face had fair skin, a high nose bridge, and cut temples. The almond eyes were round and cute.


    Behind her was a young man dressed in the garb of a Wuhuan general. She had sharp eyebrows and had a pair of starry eyes. A pair of ice-cold eagle eyes flashed with an amber dark light, as her gaze shot straight at Ling Shuang who was seated on the bed.


    Ling Shuang noticed that the sharp gaze suddenly turned, and her hand subconsciously touched her waist.


    Crap! The Imperial Sword was not by her side. The Emperor Chengping warned him to make sure that she protected the Imperial Sword carefully. Ling Shuang knew that the Emperor was serious this time, so she did not dare to bring the Imperial Sword along as well.


    But the man in front of him was clearly the one who had sent the assassin to kill him, and he actually openly appeared in the Crown Prince Palace today?


    Fang Yu also recognized him, the jade cup in his hand was tightly clenched, but his expression did not change at all.


    "Princess A Ya and General Helian are here too? I''m sorry, someone! "Seat!" Long Chen Yi smiled, but did not move a bit.


    Although A Ya was also a princess, she was a defeated princess of Wuhuan, and one who had come to reconcile with her. As for the fellow with hawk eyes, he was Helian Ming''s eldest son, He Lian Feng. He had inherited the position as the great general of Wuhuan and was specially escorting the princess to their marriage ceremony.


    Ling Shuang never thought that she would meet Helian Ming''s son here. The reason he wanted to assassinate him was probably because of the matter of Helian Ming being defeated by her and being forced to commit suicide, right?


    However, this brat had always assassinated her without anyone noticing. She did not have any weakness to make his evil deeds public, but her caution had been raised to the highest level.


    A Ya simply did not care about what Long Chen Yi said. Obviously, he had also seen Ling Shuang and thus, he immediately rushed over.


    Ling Shuang slowly stood up and looked at the Wuhuan princess who was dressed in such a gorgeous and gaudy dress. What was this girl trying to do? Although it was she who had defeated Wuhuan and caused her to come to the marriage alliance, victory or defeat was a common occurrence.


    Fang Yu turned his body slightly, his entire body tensed up. If this A Ya dared to hurt Ling Shuang in the slightest, he did not care if he would expose his own martial arts.


    "You ¡­ You are Ling Shuang? " A Ya suddenly took a step forward, but the whip in his hand had been untied from his waist with a swoosh. The whip was pointed at Ling Shuang, and her voice carried a little sadness and panic ¡­ Shy?


    Ling Shuang''s head immediately hurt. They were both women, why did it feel like Princess A Ya was looking at her weirdly? It was as if she, Ling Shuang, was some ungrateful man.


    When A Ya was at the palace, she had heard people call him Ling Shuang many times. She was rather curious about the people who called for her to find ways and means to get her portrait.


    Looking at Ling Shuang''s portrait every day, even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, it was only when the news of Wuhuan''s defeat spread and Helian Ming killed himself did Ling Shuang''s secret spread throughout Wuhuan.


    But she never believed that the reason she came to the marriage alliance was to demand an explanation from Ling Shuang. Seeing this time, she was actually more handsome than the one in the painting. But looking at her flat Adam''s apple, she felt a heart-wrenching pain.


    "Ling Shuang! I... I want to fight with you! " A Ya almost cried.


    Ling Shuang was really dumbstruck, and was about to say a few words of explanation but did not expect A Ya''s whip to instantly wrap around her and throw her out of the pavilion. Ling Shuang somersaulted in the air, lightly tapped the jade railings on the bridge above the Lotus Pond. Her movements were extremely beautiful, and the people in the pavilion were all extremely breathtaking.


    "Little girl, if you don''t want to vent your anger, then I''ll play with you!" Being swung like this by A Ya, Ling Shuang also started to feel somewhat angry.

 C19

    A Ya was extremely confused by her feelings towards Ling Shuang. However, when she looked at the playful look in Ling Shuang''s eyes, her face turned hot, but she also felt extremely ashamed.


    It was all the fault of that dead woman who liked to pretend to be a man. With her waist twisted, she leapt out of the pavilion, raised her whip, and rushed towards Ling Shuang.


    Fang Yu was relieved, the little girl''s martial arts were much lower than his, but his whip skill was not bad, and if he said he was not worried, it would be a lie.


    Hu Li frowned, Long Chen Yi and the rest looked like they were watching a show, with no intention to stop it. He actually wanted to know just how strong Ling Shuang had become.


    Ling Shuang''s agile body was like a stream of light on the curved bridge, cleverly avoiding A Ya''s every attack, as if she was playing a joke on him. When she looked at A Ya''s face that looked like she was about to cry, Ling Shuang actually didn''t dare to hurt her.


    A Ya was about to get married to the prince of Great Yan Dynasty, if he hurt her, he would be in big trouble. Without needing to think, she already knew that He Lian Feng had brought A Ya to the Crown Prince Palace to look for her and pick a fight.


    Right now, Ling Shuang only wished for A Ya to know how strong she was. It was not because she couldn''t beat her, but because she was unwilling to fight. But this girl seemed to have gone crazy, she tried her best to fight with her, causing Ling Shuang to immediately feel annoyed, she twisted her waist and went forward to face A Ya''s whip.


    This move was simply too dangerous, if it was swept by the steel whip in A Ya''s hand, he would definitely lose face. The spectators in the pavilion were all frightened out of their wits.


    "Shuang Er!" Fang Yu was about to leap over, but he did not expect Ling Shuang to make such a strange move, so he extended his hand out, releasing the momentum of the steel whip.


    Reaching out, pulling, and circling, A Ya watched helplessly as her arms were firmly tied up by the steel whips she swung out, and her entire person fell into Ling Shuang''s embrace. At that moment, her face was unsettled, and she started to cry.


    "You bastard! You bastard! Why are you a woman? If you were a man, I would risk my life to marry you! "


    Ling Shuang was instantly besieged and petrified, the wind was blown in disorder, she immediately let her go, seemingly at a loss of what to do.


    A Ya simply sat on the ground and cried even louder, forcing Ling Shuang to kneel down and console him.


    "Princess A Ya, at that time, I was fighting against the Wuhuan and I was forced to hide my identity from his.


    The people in the pavilion didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. Who would have thought that the princess of Wuhuan would actually fall in love with a woman to such an extent? Fang Yu was even more bitter. His love rival not only had a man but also a woman, what kind of wife did he actually marry?


    Seeing that she had calmed down, Ling Shuang released the steel whip on her body and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he felt a cold wind blow at the back of his head.


    A Ya, this brat, was actually so shameless as to sneak attack her. She dodged, but the belt on her head was torn off by the steel whip. Her long hair that was like a waterfall instantly fell down, flowing with light and overflowing with color under the radiance of the sun.


    The people inside the pavilion had never seen Ling Shuang''s long hair before. Her exquisite and beautiful face was originally incredibly heroic and imposing because of the bright and shining long hair that reached her waist, and even carried a bit of an ethereal aura.


    A Ya was also dumbstruck, she suddenly covered her lips as tears once again flowed out. How could such a beauty be a man? Her heart was like dying embers as she ran away in tears.


    Even He Lian Feng, who hated Ling Shuang, was shocked when she saw her long hair. She immediately became angry and chased after A Ya.


    Long Chen Yi stared blankly at the woman who slowly walked in, her heart was thumping hard.


    "Your Highness," Chen Pei Wen coughed.


    Long Chen Yi hurriedly woke up from his stupor, but he could not hide the awkwardness on his face. He was so focused on watching just now that he couldn''t even hear what Chen Pei Wen was saying.


    "What is it?" Long Chen Yi then restrained his emotions.


    "Your Highness, you should pick the horses at the entrance as soon as possible."


    "What you said is extremely true." He turned around and looked at Ling Shuang who had already walked into the pavilion, "Miss Ling is startled.


    "There''s no need," Ling Shuang said as she sat in front of Fang Yu. She casually dropped the brocade belt and gave it to Fang Yu: "Help me tie up my hair, it''s getting late, I still have to choose a war horse, don''t delay my business."


    Fang Yu smiled slightly as he received the ribbon and slowly tied up his hair that was as smooth as water in front of everyone. Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, and seeing the soft black hair that fell into Fang Yu''s hands, Hu Li''s heart felt as painful as if it had been cut by a knife.


    Perhaps he would never be able to wait for this day. If he could, he might even trade his life for it, but that was impossible. Ling Shuang''s heart was completely tied to Fang Yu alone, what did he count as? He was unwilling!


    Long Chen Yi''s expression did not look any better. Seeing that Ling Shuang had finished tying up her hair, she said in a deep voice, "This matter cannot be delayed, Miss Ling, please!"


    Qian Shan, who was behind her, secretly shook his head. Indeed, beauties cause trouble and mislead the nation.


    However, the two Chen brothers looked at Ego. A glint flashed in their eyes, as they thought that this might be a good opportunity to take revenge on Ling Shuang''s revenge on behalf of her aunt, Mrs Fang.


    "Fang Yu, you go back first. I''ll go back soon," Ling Shuang said to Fang Yu.


    "Be careful," Fang Yu brushed off the hair on Ling Shuang''s temples, then suddenly whispered: "It''s better to have my men at the entrance, hold this properly, if you have anything to blow the whistle for."


    A sleek jade whistle appeared in Ling Shuang''s hand, and she couldn''t help but find it funny, why does it feel like it was something to call a puppy? She immediately packed up the items and followed the Crown Prince out of the Crown Prince Mansion.


    The stage entrance was right outside the Western Flower Hall in Beijing, so when Ling Shuang reached the entrance, he felt the feeling of not being there for a long time once again.


    "General Ling! General Ling! " A few of Ling Jia Jun''s men were training and resting at the entrance of the arena. The subordinates in the past were naturally extremely excited when they saw Ling Shuang.


    It was just that they did not dare to act rashly while obstructing the dignity of the Crown Prince, otherwise they would have rushed over long ago to pick Ling Shuang up and cheer him on.


    Hu Li was extremely excited as well. Many of his old subordinates were left in the capital due to him, while the Hu family held the true authority in the imperial guards. Even the Emperor did not dare to suppress them too much.


    Ling Shuang continuously waved her hands at her subordinates, feeling extremely happy in her heart. After being depressed in the big house for so long, she felt like a trapped bird that had released its cage.


    Long Chen Yi brought Ling Shuang to the stables and asked: "Miss Ling, how about it?"


    Ling Shuang swept her gaze over, and could not help but exclaim in her heart that the horses were indeed from gentleness. All of them were strong and strong, their bodies sturdy and robust, each of them a good horse.


    "Your Highness, you can''t tell by looking at it this way. Help me get a table and a full bowl of water, I have my uses for it."


    Hu Li saw that she was speaking mysteriously, and a pampered smile that even he himself did not realise was leaked out from the corner of his mouth.

 C20

    A square table was quickly set up in the open space, and Ling Shuang placed a blue and white porcelain bowl filled to the brim with water on the table. Long Chen Yi didn''t know what Ling Shuang wanted to do, and looked at her with an interested smile.


    "Your Highness, where did you get your military horse this time?" Ling Shuang asked.


    "I bought them from three places, gentleness Country''s Yu Yuan, Xing Tian and Chi Zhou. Could it be that there is something wrong with the horses from these three places?" Long Chen Yi laughed.


    Ling Shuang turned and said to Hu Li: "Hu Li, have your men divide the horses into three groups according to their location of production, bring them here, and make them run as fast as possible."


    Hu Li acknowledged her immediately and went down to arrange things.


    "Your Highness, please look carefully at the water bowl on the table," Ling Shuang invited Long Chen Yi to sit at the table.


    The interest in Long Chen Yi''s eyes grew more and more, and not long after, the first group of horses galloped past where they were, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water in the water bowl, but they did not splash out.


    As the second group ran over, the surface of the water didn''t tremble very much. The surface of the water was very calm.


    After the third group, the ground rumbled incessantly, and the surrounding water bowls had long since started to splash out a lot of water.


    "Your Highness, my suggestion is to use the third group of horses. With strong legs and a fast running speed, it should be very suitable for surprise attacks. The second group could be used for the transportation of grains and foodstuffs. Although their legs weren''t strong enough, they were durable and durable. We don''t need to use the first group. "


    "Ling Shuang, you''re really something!" Hu Li was practically bowing down to the ground in admiration. Something so difficult was solved with just a bowl of water by Ling Shuang.


    Long Chen Yi''s expression right now was a little complicated, he thought to himself that it was a pity that it was a woman. If it was a man, he would definitely recruit her as his advisor.


    Ling Shuang looked at the sky and was just about to leave, but she did not expect to hear the sound of the horses whinnies from the stable at the east side. She was slightly startled, and immediately turned and walked over.


    Long Chen Yi, Hu Li and the rest also followed along, only to see a dozen soldiers surrounding a tall horse that was completely black. The horse looked extremely fierce, but it attracted everyone''s attention. It was like a black horse that was agglomerating and flashing a dazzling light.


    Long Chen Yi looked at the light that was shining out of Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes, and immediately understood. He laughed: "If Miss Ling likes it, I''ll give this horse to you. "Only to see if the young lady has the ability to conquer this fierce horse?"


    Although Ling Shuang knew that accepting the benefits from Long Chen Yi in this way was inappropriate, but a horse was like an inseparable part of her blood. It was clear that the horse had ignited the passion she had long longed for.


    "Thank you Your Highness, but Ling Shuang is disrespectful," she said as she walked over with large strides, she suddenly leaped up and landed on the back of the black horse. The dark horse instantly became restless, it jumped up and down as if it wanted to flip Ling Shuang over on the ground.


    Ling Shuang''s vigorous figure seemed to have frozen on the back of a horse. Under the blood-red light of the setting sun, the man and horse looked extremely breathtaking.


    Finally, the black horse gradually gasped for breath and gave up on resisting. However, Ling Shuang caressed the horse''s mane with a pained heart and jumped down, giving the horsewhip to Cha Zi who was beside him.


    "Take it back with you and give it to the Young Master. I don''t trust anyone else."


    "Yes sir!" Cha Zi was also very happy for her master. She immediately pulled the horse with the rope tied to it into her hands.


    When the two words "Young Master" came out of his mouth, Long Chen Yi and Hu Li''s faces turned extremely unpleasant. Even if it was her beloved warhorse, she would have to entrust it to Fang Yu to take care of.


    The Chen brothers who were observing silently at the side glanced at Hu Li, and Chen Pei Wen slowly walked to Long Chen Yi and said: "Your Highness, we need to report to Emperor about the war horse today, we shouldn''t delay this!"


    Long Chen Yi gave a profound look to Ling Shuang and said: "Miss Ling is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men; in the future, I will need to consult Miss Ling more."


    Consult? Ling Shuang thought that this Crown Prince was purposely teasing her. He nodded and didn''t say anything else.


    Seeing Ling Shuang''s cold expression, Long Chen Yi did not know what to say, and turned to leave with the Chen brothers.


    "Hu Li, it''s time for me to return home as well. Take care of yourself," Ling Shuang said as he turned to leave, but his arms suddenly tightened as she looked at Hu Li with astonishment.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s also not a big deal," Hu Li hurriedly let go of Ling Shuang''s arm. It wasn''t easy for him to finally get this chance to be alone with her, so he was naturally unwilling to give up.


    "Then I''m leaving!" Ling Shuang felt that this Hu Li was always weird.


    "Wait! Can I have a drink? It''s been a long time since our brothers have met? " Hu Li almost begged.


    Ling Shuang''s heart froze, if she refused, then it would seem unkind, after all, they were comrades-in-arms and brothers who had experienced life and death together.


    "Alright! But we did agree that we can only drink three cups, we can''t be greedy. "


    "I understand that you are someone with a family," Hu Li teased, but his tone carried some bitterness. "Not far, let''s go to Yuxiu River''s boat."


    "Well, let''s go! If I knew earlier, I wouldn''t have let Cha Zi send the horses back.


    "How about riding together?" Hu Li smiled and got on his horse''s back, pointing at the place in front of his chest, but there were a few traces of probing in his eyes.


    Ling Shuang frowned, she then pulled another horse from the stable and laughed: "Let''s go! Lead the way! Oh yeah, call Little Five, Chen San, and the others over as well, I''ll treat them! "


    Hu Li''s face became pale, Ling Shuang had started to hide from him, but his heart was gloomy.


    "Little Wu and the others have been too busy practicing recently, so I''ll personally take them to your house to get some drinks after this period of time has passed."


    It wasn''t easy for him to get the chance to be alone with Ling Shuang. How could he let Xiao Wu and the others squeeze him?


    Ling Shuang felt that something was wrong, but she couldn''t pinpoint what was wrong. However, Hu Li had, after all, saved her life, so she couldn''t very well deny Hu Li face.


    "Ling Shuang, are you taking precautions against me?" Hu Li laughed bitterly, "Actually, I can''t beat you either. Can you not be so distant from me?


    "Hu Li, I know you''re not feeling good, but it''s actually better if we explained everything to you today ¡­" Ling Shuang''s words were suddenly cut off by Yan Hong who was outside.


    "What''s wrong?" Ling Shuang and Hu Li immediately rushed out, but saw that Yan Hong''s face was pale as she pointed at the faint shadow of the river, her voice trembling, "Miss, there is something cutting into the river."


    Ling Shuang thought that things were not good. This time, the black caravan had reached the middle of the river, and there were no other boats around, and their cabins were already filled with water.


    "How dare you!" "Come out quickly!" Hu Li could not help but scold angrily, he knew that Ling Shuang and Yan Hong were not at the surface, and felt even more anxious.


    He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself twice. It was all his fault for being obsessed with this because he only wanted to get along with Ling Shuang alone for a while and row the boat to an exceptionally quiet place, causing Ling Shuang to be in danger.


    "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun, the boat is about to sink. Quickly take our young miss and leave!" Yan Hong was already sobbing.


    A cold light flashed through Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes. Exactly who had done this, and even what had plotted against Hu Li, became the best method to kill her. How poisonous!

 C21

    The more water there was in the wicker boat, the more Yan Hong knew. Although Hu Li knew how to swim, it was still impossible for him to save two people at the same time.


    "Miss, take care," Yan Hong said and was about to jump into the river, but was pulled back by Ling Shuang and scolded angrily: "Are you crazy?"


    "Miss!"


    "Ling Shuang! Fast! I''ll take you away! " Hu Li was still selfish. He could not watch Ling Shuang drown in front of him, so he gave up on Yan Hong.


    "Nobody move!" Ling Shuang suddenly thought of the jade whistle that Fang Yu had given her, but they were no longer at the entrance of the training grounds.


    She took it out and blew her jade whistle with all her might. Her melodious voice was like a star cutting through the night, clearly transmitted into the distance.


    Yan Hong and Hu Li were at a loss for a moment, but they were yelled at by Ling Shuang.


    "What are you still standing there for?" "Spoon the water out of the cabin!" Ling Shuang turned around and took off her burdensome outer clothes. She only wore a set of clothes and grabbed all the utensils on her body that could be used in the cabin to continuously scoop out water.


    Hu Li punched the cabin door that was tilting slightly in half before he took off his clothes and joined Ling Shuang. Yan Hong knew that this was not the time to be looking for death.


    The three of them actually managed to control the speed of the ship''s descent in this life or death situation. This was how Ling Shuang felt. As long as she was in a bad situation, people would feel at peace.


    "Ling Shuang!" Hu Li gasped for breath, the heavy burden of bending over to scoop up the water had made him extremely tired, while Yan Hong who was at the side was already on the verge of collapsing.


    "Don''t panic! "Continue!" Ling Shuang didn''t raise her head in the slightest, but the resolution in her eyes was growing stronger and stronger. She had seen much more dangerous situations than this one, she could only delay her survival time, and hope that Fang Yu had enough time to save them.


    "Eldest Miss! Eldest Miss! Ship! "Ship!" Yan Hong who was already exhausted and laid on the ground pointed at the black surface of the river. Her eyes were extremely sharp, which Ling Shuang believed in.


    She followed Yan Hong''s line of sight and saw the shadows of the two ships approaching, but they were still a long way away.


    "Work harder!" Hu Li almost roared out loud, but in the next hour, he had already reached the end of his strength, and the ship instantly collapsed.


    "Shuang Er!" Hu Li suddenly pulled Ling Shuang who had fallen into the water.


    "Yan Hong!" Ling Shuang used all her strength to kick a boat to her side. Yan Hong who had choked on water immediately grabbed onto the boat tightly.


    However, because of Ling Shuang''s exertion, her entire person separated away from Hu Li''s arm, and instantly submerged into the river.


    Damn it, this body really didn''t know how to swim. She subconsciously wanted to stretch her arms, but her movements were extremely incongruous.


    Was he really going to drown today? The cold water made her body tingle with pain. She could not see her surroundings clearly.


    "Shuang Er! Shuang Er! " Hu Li''s miserable and desperate voice resounded across the entire messy river surface.


    Ling Shuang knew that it was Hu Li trying to find her. She desperately tried to swim over, but her body was only getting colder and colder, and the pain in her chest from the lack of oxygen was as if a fire was burning.


    "Shuang Er! Shuang Er, wake up! Shuang Er! "


    Ling Shuang was suddenly grabbed tightly by a pair of strong arms, and was carried up with great strength. The solid feeling of the deck made her feel alive, and she felt at ease.


    A pair of long hands desperately pressed down on her abdomen, causing Ling Shuang to cough violently. He vomited a large mouthful of blood and fell into his familiar embrace.


    "Fang Yu?" Ling Shuang slowly opened her eyes and met with the pair of peach blossom eyes that were already scarlet red.


    "Shuang Er, thank you, you didn''t die, thank you," Fang Yu tightly hugged Ling Shuang as if she had lost her soul.


    Today, he went to Yuxiu River''s restaurant. Originally, he wanted to discuss with that person how to deal with His Highness, but he unexpectedly heard the jade whistle that Ling Shuang had passed on to him.


    This jade whistle was made using a special method, the sound was crisp and clear, but its penetrating strength was extremely strong, his subordinates were able to easily discern Ling Shuang''s location.


    Fang Yu then carried Ling Shuang into the cabin, and two females dressed in black bowed to Fang Yu and greeted him: "Sect Leader, the stove is already prepared."


    "All of you, get out!"


    Fang Yu''s expression was extremely dark and ruthless. He carried Ling Shuang and entered the cabin, wanting to personally help her change her clothes but was pushed away by Ling Shuang.


    "I... Cough cough cough ¡­ I can! "


    Fang Yu glared at her fiercely, and then abruptly stood up and walked outside. "The two of you, come in!"


    "Yes sir!" The two girls hurriedly came in to help Ling Shuang change into clean clothes. Only then did Fang Yu open the curtain and walk in, and threw the wet clothes that Ling Shuang had changed into into the arms of a tight-uniformed woman.


    Fang Family''s people will immediately investigate the situation here.


    "Yes!" "Sovereign!" The two women were unusually agile and had already understood what their master meant. They were putting on an act for the Fang Family to see.


    "How are Yan Hong and Hu Li?" Only after Ling Shuang changed into clean clothes did her body not tremble so badly.


    Fang Yu''s eyes darkened, it was already like this, what was the point of bringing up that evil fox? However, he still hugged her painfully and gnashed his teeth as he said, "Yan Hong and that seductive fox have already been sent to another boat. Since someone wants to kill you, I won''t let them off easy either. Yan Hong is fine, if you want to stay and pretend, you don''t have to worry about that. "


    Ling Shuang could tell that he was truly angry from his words, but she could not say anything haughty and arrogant in apologizing, so she just sighed: "Up to you!"


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu''s heart finally softened. "Do we owe each other our past lives? You want to wait until the next one or two in your life comes back? "


    At this time, the surrounding area around the Yuxiu River was already in a stir, as the first wife of the Fang Family personally led a group of people to block a pitch-black ship. Yan Hong, who was standing guard at the bow of the ship, was trembling in fear as her face turned pale white, refusing to leave no matter what.


    "Someone come!" "Pull that bitch away!" There was a cold smile on Mrs Fang''s face. His nephew''s strategy was very good this time. Even if Ling Shuang was lucky enough to not drown, as long as they were stuck in the cabin of the Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun, she would have a way to bring Ling Shuang down with her. Moreover, he had just fallen into the water. Now that he was rescued from the water, it was inevitable that he would take off his wet clothes.


    "This... This has nothing to do with me! Mrs Fang! Mrs Fang, please let me go! It was only when the little guy saw them fall into the water that he managed to save them ¡­ "Sob, sob ¡­" However, the servant of Fang Family firmly pressed him down on the deck and stuffed his mouth shut.


    Mrs Fang''s eyes were cold, she did not like hearing unnecessary words.


    "Lift the curtain!" Mrs Fang said coldly.


    Housekeeper Li laughed coldly as he opened the curtain. He saw a young man with a bare upper body lying in the cabin. His eyes were unfocused and his hair was scattered. He was reeking of alcohol, as if his mind wasn''t very clear about what was going on. On the left and right were the two most wonderful people who had their bodies covered with brocade.


    Everyone could tell how shameless and unscrupulous this cabin was.


    "AHH!" How could it be ¡­ "Why is it Eldest Young Master Fang?"


    "Tsk tsk ¡­" [This Young Master Fang is actually a hypocrite ¡­] This time, you seem to have quite the good luck with women, huh! "


    Mrs Fang felt the sky spin and the earth spin as he staggered back and fell down.


    "Madam!" "Madam!" A series of exclamations sounded.

 C22

    In the Unrestrained Spring Garden in the Crown Prince Palace, Long Chen Yi, who was dressed in a luxurious robe with a black base and thorns on it, was carelessly feeding the black precious golden fish in the pond.


    Chen Pei Wen and Chen Pei stood behind Long Chen Yi respectfully, their faces did not look good. These two brothers were the pride of the heavens. In addition, they had the status of royalty; naturally, they did not put others in their eyes.


    It was just that they did not think that last night''s series of plots would not only fail to deal with Ling Shuang, but would instead send their own cousin, Fang Heng, into it.


    Fang Xiu Wen was furious, he locked his precious son in the ancestral hall and knelt there for three days and three nights already. He didn''t know how this matter got leaked, but now it caused such a commotion that even the Chen family was humiliated. He was caught by His Highness Crown Prince early this morning, and had no idea what his attitude would be.


    Just as the Chen brothers were feeling uneasy, Long Chen Yi finally decided to speak.


    "I heard that you guys almost drowned Ling Shuang?"


    Chen Pei Wen suddenly felt that something was wrong, if the Crown Prince really had feelings for Ling Shuang, it would be troublesome.


    "The heck! That''s just nonsense!" A fine layer of sweat trickled down from Chen Pei Wen''s forehead.


    "Is that so?" Long Chen Yi''s voice did not sound angry, but it carried a chill, causing the two Chen brothers to shake.


    "Both of you are targets that I need to focus on training in the future, why are you so far-sighted? Remember that you guys are men, and the battle at the back of the house is always a woman''s affair, do you remember clearly? "


    "Your Highness''s teachings are correct," Chen Pei Wen hurriedly pulled her brother and bowed.


    However, Long Chen Yi did not turn back from beginning to end. Looking at the fish that was fighting for food, the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer as he spoke word by word. "In the future, I don''t want anything to happen to Ling Shuang again. This is your first chance, and your last, and next time I won''t forgive you. "


    The two Chen brothers immediately broke out in cold sweat, only to see Long Chen Yi impatiently wave his hand, and the two of them quickly retreated.


    "That girl Ling Shuang actually managed to find a backer like Your Highness with such ease. It really makes one''s heart uncomfortable!" Chen Peiwu said angrily.


    "Yu Wu, from today onwards, you have to be careful. The second young master of Fang Family should also walk around a lot."


    "Brother!" Are we just going to let it go like this? "


    The corner of Chen Pei Wen''s mouth turned cold, "Your Highness Crown Prince is right. There are so many things in the capital that we need to do, and not limit our vision to just a small inner chamber. Sigh, we really need to broaden our horizons. "Pei Wu, this matter shall end here. Do you hear me?"


    From time to time, coughing sounds came out from the warm pavilion in Fang Family. This time, Ling Shuang was really infected with the cold. Fang Yu practically swept through all the doctors in the capital and all of them secretly laughed bitterly. There was actually such a caring husband under the heavens who doted on her wife? They had finally opened their eyes!


    Ling Shuang was bored to death as she sat in the pavilion playing with a dagger. From time to time, she would flip her hand and dash into the door frame.


    Ever since Eldest Miss fell into the water and became sick, Young Master had almost placed her under house of warmth and prohibited her from going anywhere. He had never seen the Young Master infuriate himself to such an extent, and he was actually able to make the Eldest Miss, who was usually fearless, completely submit to him.


    At this time, Fang Yu''s clear and handsome voice came through the twelve screens, forcing Ling Shuang to dig out his ears.


    "FengHan, FengHan, you guys talk about this with me day and night. What exactly is the best way to cure it?"


    "Second Young Master, don''t be anxious ¡­"


    "How can I not be anxious? It''s been three days and you''re still not recovered? "


    "Second Young Master, this Feng Han will only need to rest for a few days ¡­"


    "Recuperate? "What do you need these quack doctors for if you want to recuperate properly?!"


    "Fang Yu, cough cough..." Ling Shuang could not bear to listen any longer, and coughed hypocritically.


    With a bang, the door to the pavilion was pushed open by Fang Yu. Ling Shuang felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning.


    "Well? Where is the discomfort? Did you drink today''s medicine? What would you like to eat? "But I will eat more of those bland and oily dishes until you are better ¡­"


    Ling Shuang stared dumbstruck at Fang Yu''s unceasing torrent, and was completely unable to say a word.


    "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam," Xiang Zhui walked in and reported, "Aunt and Young Grandmother is here."


    Ling Shuang was startled, but the curtains had already been lifted. Wearing a red pleated skirt, Ling Wan walked in clumsily, the servant girl beside her also carried a yellow poplar box.


    In the end, Ling Shuang was just too thick-skinned and was not used to showing love in front of others. She hurriedly tried to break free from Fang Yu''s embrace, and using all her strength, her throat actually started to itch and cough.


    "Why is he coughing again?" Fang Yu''s anxious expression showed no doubt, and he hurriedly carried her to the side of the bed and carried the lotus seed lily porridge. If it wasn''t for Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes glaring at him, he really would have fed this bowl of lotus seed congee to her.


    Ling Wan looked up and saw that Fang Yu was hugging Elder Sis tightly in his arms and his face could not help but turn pale. They were both Fang Family''s sons. Although Fang Yu was a popinjay, after getting married, he became addicted to Ling Shuang as well as fearing his wife like a tiger. This had already become a hot topic of discussion in the capital.


    But because Fang Heng was pregnant, he drank from the floral vessel outside. Looking at the happy scene of Ling Shuang''s death made the jealousy and hatred in her heart grow even stronger, yet her face still had a beautiful smile.


    "Hearing that Elder Sis is sick, little sister became extremely anxious, and made a few snacks to give Elder Sis a taste," with that, Ling Wan ordered someone to open the yellow poplar box, revealing all kinds of snacks.


    Ling Shuang could not help but sigh, why did Ling Shuang lose to this little sister before this? She probably had to first tie this man''s heart onto his stomach.


    There were all sorts of snacks, and they looked very appetizing, depending on who brought them.


    Ling Shuang really didn''t want to see Ling Wan''s hypocritical face, so she slowly said: "Little sister, you''re being considerate.


    Ling Wan''s heart trembled, the matter of him poisoning Ling Shuang previously was only known to the two of them. But Ling Shuang seemed to have become smarter, and did not clarify the matter. So what if she made it clear? Who would believe that a general would be so useless, and that she would not be alive and well?


    "Elder Sis, I was ignorant before, so you dared to anger Elder Sis. Elder Sis can hit me and scold me, but you must not ignore me!" With that, Ling Wan''s charming eyes started to mist.


    Ling Shuang rubbed her forehead as she suddenly stood up and walked over to Ling Wan who was crying. Her phoenix eyes were already as cold as ice: "Ling Wan, you really make me sick! Are you sick of being a whore and setting up a chastity arch? You act innocent even after being an evil person, do you have the stomach for it? You''re still putting on an act when you''re in my territory? Do you really think that I won''t dare to beat you up so that your first soul can ascend to the sky and your second soul can come out of your body? Before I, big sister, truly decide to kill you, hurry up and get lost! "


    Ling Wan suddenly raised his eyes, but saw the genuine disgust in them. She knew that Ling Shuang had always been a prideful person, but she would never use such sarcastic and insulting words.


    Furthermore, Ling Shuang was the type of woman who looked cold but felt warm. As long as she lowered her attitude, she could repair her relationship with her. At that time, there would be more chances to take care of this bitch.


    Only, she did not expect Ling Shuang''s attitude to be so sharp and overbearing. He was left speechless for a moment.

 C23

    The fox is back


    When Ling Wan returned to the West Garden, she was so angry that she went crazy. If not for the fact that she and Fang Heng were in a passive position right now, she wouldn''t take the initiative to please that bitch.


    The servant girl beside her did not dare say anything, and bowed as she stood there. Although the Aunt and Young Grandmother looked weak and beautiful on the outside, the servants that had been by her side all feared her.


    "Chun Xi, go call Chen Yuan, who is beside the First Young Master! The young master is still locked up in the Ancestral Hall, but Duke of Chen is also the young master''s grandfather.


    Chun Xi hurriedly walked out and brought Chen Yuan in after a while. Chen Yuan waited outside and asked a question through the screen.


    "Is the birthday present that Eldest Young Master ordered you to prepare prepared?" Ling Wan sat upright on the chair, looking like she was the manager.


    "Return to Aunt and Young Grandmother, we are ready, we have gathered the twelve East Beads."


    "Hm!" The gifts must be heavy, and have you found the pearl heads I told you to find? "


    Chen Yuan hurriedly brought over the box he brought with him with both hands, and Chun Xi brought it over to Ling Wan.


    Ling Wan opened the box. Sure enough, it was the same model that Fang Yue had set his eyes on last time. However, it was reserved in advance by a girl from a small family. Although the pearl head was not very valuable, it was still the only item that could be found in that shop.


    Ling Wan''s pink lips revealed a slight smile, "There''s no trouble right?"


    "No, I had some tricks up my sleeve and sold that slut to a trafficker. "No matter how stubborn she is, as long as she drinks the medicine, breaks her leg, and sells it back and forth, even the noble princesses will not obediently accept it."


    Ling Wan raised her eyebrows abruptly, "What did you say in the last sentence?"


    Chen Yuan''s expression changed as he thought that he had said the wrong thing. He carefully replied, "Only ¡­ "As long as it is sold back and forth a few times ¡­"


    "Chen Yuan, come in. Chun Xi, get out!" Ling Wan''s voice carried a sense of joy.


    Chun Xi hurriedly led the maidservants out of the pavilion, even shutting the door tightly.


    Chen Yuan started to feel uneasy, but looking at the beautiful Ling Wan, she couldn''t help but feel a little hot.


    Chen Yuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, please give me some pointers."


    "Forget it, no need to be so courteous. I''m just asking if you are very familiar with traffickers." Ling Wan''s voice became lower and lower, close to a whisper.


    A wave of cold wind blew across the exceptionally warm corridor. A green skirt flashed not far from the corridor, and it disappeared amidst the flowers and shrubs in the blink of an eye.


    The warm pavilion in East Garden was filled with the smell of medicine. Fang Yu lovingly watched Ling Shuang throw the embroidery needle and thread into disarray as if it was a secret weapon, and his smile grew even wider.


    "The Duke of Chen''s birthday is coming up in a few days, Shuang Er, have you prepared for your birthday yet?" Wearing an indigo colored gown, Fang Yu walked in front of Ling Shuang. After he slightly lifted the corner of his robe, he sat in front of her.


    "Hahaha!" Fang Yu laughed out loud: "My wife''s Little Chicken Eating Mi Tu is a rare work, I, Fang Yu, am willing to buy it at a high price. I put it on my door every day, and will pay you my respects sooner or later without making any mistakes."


    "Cut the crap!" Ling Shuang smiled until her eyebrows curved, but in her heart, Fang Yu felt a warmth, the smile on her face became more and more.


    "What are you looking at?" Ling Shuang unnaturally wiped the blood off his face. He hated it the most as he stared at her in a daze every day.


    "Very beautiful," Fang Yu said as he lifted his hand to stroke her mischievous hair.


    "Um, what kind of birthday present are we going to give to stand out at this banquet?" make them not dare to look down on you again? " Ling Shuang had already sensed that Fang Yu had been making more and more small moves recently, it was not that she did not feel it, but he could not afford to give it to him.


    She was, after all, a person who had crossed over from the twenty-first century, and she had ideas and ideas that were incompatible with this era. To tell the truth, the life in this mansion was very depressing for her. After all, she was just a passerby in this world.


    Fang Yu laughed bitterly in his heart, Ling Shuang was still hiding from him, but why can''t they be together? Didn''t she feel that the two of them already had a tacit understanding of each other?


    "Would Fang Yu like to gift the emerald jade like a coral tree? Isn''t your Blood Shadow Sect very rich anyway? " Last time when Fang Yu saved her, he revealed his identity as the sect master, causing Ling Shuang to be extremely interested in this matter.


    "Why don''t you take me to your Blood Shadow Sect?"


    "I think it''s better if you send us two living treasures. What do you think?" Fang Yu looked left and right as he changed the topic.


    "Why can''t Fang Yu let me go visit your territory? Can''t I bring a family member? " Ling Shuang really wanted to go, but he felt his blood boiling the moment he heard the Blood Shadow Sect''s name.


    "Shuang Er, you absolutely cannot go to that place," Fang Yu said as her expression changed slightly.


    Ling Shuang then waved her hands, "Do as you wish! I was just asking, but I do have a question for you, Crown Prince, the horse that you gave me has been getting diarrhea recently, did you do that? "


    The corner of Fang Yu''s mouth twitched.


    Seeing Fang Yu''s dazed look, Ling Shuang didn''t know whether to laugh or cry when he thought of how he fed the horse the bean in the middle of the night.


    "Alright, since you don''t like the gift Crown Prince is giving me, then bring it back to me. Don''t mess with such a good horse, my heart aches," Ling Shuang laughed.


    "In a while, I''ll have someone deliver it in your name. Tell them that the Fang Residence is unruly, and that I have even better horses to give you!"


    "Really?" Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes lit up, but she heard Yan Hong''s report from the outside, "Miss, that ¡­ That Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun is here. "


    "That scoundrel fox!" Fang Yu was furious. He was not done with Ling Shuang falling into the water last time, he had come looking for his death today.


    "Fang Yu!" Ling Shuang thought and quickly followed her out.


    They had just walked out of East Garden with quick steps from the front and back when Fang Yu and Ling Shuang abruptly halted their steps. Hu Li was dressed in a profound gold robe with plum patterns embroidered on it, his hair was tied up with an ink jade crown, and he stood under the tall cypress tree facing the wind. The outstanding temperament of a hero in a young man in a graceful manner.


    At this time, Fang Yue who was wearing a peach colored brocade gown stood by his side, looking at Hu Li with eyes full of tender affection. this time, Hu Li did not say a word as he replied. However, when he looked at Ling Shuang, his starry eyes shone brighter than thousands of words.

 C24

    "Ling Shuang!" Hu Li walked over with large strides. When he saw Ling Shuang, his eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.


    Who knew that before he could even take a few steps, a sword rainbow would suddenly appear in front of him. Hu Li subconsciously unsheathed the sword at his waist and held it up, his wrist trembling until it became numb, then he looked up and saw Fang Yu''s eyes that were cold as ice.


    Though Fang Yue had only seen Hu Li a few times, his heart was already tied to Hu Li''s body.


    Although Hu Li was just a martial uncle, he was much more charming than those young masters from the cultured and weak families. Who knew that Hu Li would actually take the initiative to come to the Fang Residence.


    She coincidentally saw second brother and Ling Shuang walking out of the East Garden''s entrance before they had even exchanged a few words. When Hu Li saw the spot of light in her starry eyes, she felt a sharp pain.


    Ling Shuang! It''s Ling Shuang again! It was so good that even a married woman would seduce people, it made her want to pounce over and bite Ling Shuang that slut!


    When she saw that second brother had unsheathed his sword and rushed towards Hu Li without saying a word, she sneered in her heart.


    She had long hated this second brother, she really hoped that Young Master Hu would be able to stab him to death.


    But right after that, Fang Yue was suddenly stunned, how was that possible? Hu Li held onto his bloodied arm, and staggered a big step back as he glared at Fang Yu who was dragged behind him.


    Ling Shuang sighed, suppressing her anger, she whispered: "Fang Yu, can you give me some face?"


    Fang Yu''s peach blossom eyes were truly sinister and ruthless. If not for the coquettish fox who brought Shuang Er onto the boat, Shuang Er would not have nearly drowned. The fear of losing Ling Shuang would be his lifetime worth of nightmares. But this reckless bastard still dared to come to his door. At this moment, he even had thoughts of killing him.


    "What if someone else sees through your plan?" Ling Shuang was also worried about this, since she had been hiding her true strength the entire time.


    "Don''t worry, I used the skill that you taught me, I won''t let others see through it," the gloominess in Fang Yu''s eyes calmed down, this girl still cared a lot about him.


    "Yu''er!" How can we make a move against the Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun? " After Fang Xiu Wen heard the news from the servant, he turned pale in fright. If this foolish son of his really charged into the hands of the Hu Family''s Senior Gongzi, then he would really be in for a beating.


    The Hu family was the one that truly held the military power in the capital. If they had the military power, then they had the strength. This was an indisputable fact.


    However, what he did not expect was that his second son actually managed to injure the Hu family''s Senior Gongzi. But when did this kid become so powerful?


    Fang Xiu Wen''s gaze turned towards Ling Shuang, who was standing in front of him, and frowned. Could it be that Professor Ling Shuang was really able to improve her son''s martial arts so quickly? But how was this possible?


    Hu Li had long since seen through the suspicion in Fang Xiu Wen''s eyes. After that he gave a slight smile and walked in front of Fang Xiu Wen and bowed: "Nephew Hu Li greets Uncle Fang! In a few days, it will be the day of''s Mulan Enclosure Patrol Supervisor. My father would like to invite Uncle Fang to go over and make some arrangements.


    Fang Xiu Wen furrowed his brows, this Hu Li was obviously trying to shirk his promise. The overseer of the Mulan Enclosure was an important matter of the nation, and they had to discuss it in the imperial court. Why would they go to the Hu residence?


    Furthermore, the people that the Marquis of Ping, Hu Yuntian hated the most were these civil officials. How could they have the time to invite him to the Hu Mansion? This Hu Clan kid was obviously looking for an excuse to come to his Fang Family. Thinking about this, Fang Xiu Wen glanced at Ling Shuang and sighed to himself, he already knew that he would marry a daughter-in-law.


    The reason why Fang Xiu Wen was able to become the Prime Minister was because he was a fox that had cultivated to the level of a demon for a thousand years. How could he not understand the feelings the Hu Family''s Senior Gongzi had towards Ling Shuang?


    "No need," Hu Li''s tone became even more anxious and relaxed. He thought to himself, if Fang Xiu Wen punished Fang Yu, wouldn''t that mean he had implicated Ling Shuang?


    He came today mainly to see if Ling Shuang was alright. That day, even though Ling Shuang managed to escape danger and was saved by Fang Yu, she was still immersed in boundless regret.


    His momentary selfish desire almost caused harm to the person he loved the most in this world. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Today, Hu Li was really unable to endure it any longer, and came to the Fang Residence with an excuse that was not really an excuse. Is everything all right?


    Now that he saw her rosy complexion, it was obvious that she was in good shape.


    "Uncle Fang, your nephew has heard that the Second Young Master has learnt martial arts from the General Ling. General Ling and I have been comrade-in-arms for many years, so I would like to see how her disciple is doing. "Indeed, the second young master is a genius in martial arts. It is extremely rare for him to reach such a level within a few days."


    Now, Ling Shuang and Fang Yu were secretly astonished, Hu Li had actually thought of an excuse that no one could refute, to help Fang Yu round things up.


    Looking at the gratitude in Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes, Fang Yu felt as if her chest was being stuffed.


    "Even so, you''re too careless, Yu''er. Why aren''t you apologizing to Young Master Hu?" Fang Xiu Wen did not want to offend the hot-tempered Ping Wu Hou, who was extremely ruthless in his attacks.


    Fang Yu stood there motionlessly, Ling Shuang knew that Fang Xiu Wen was trying to give his son a way out, why did Fang Yu not even give him this face? How could she have known that kind of life-and-death struggle between rivals?


    "Fang Yu," Ling Shuang secretly pulled on Fang Yu''s wide sleeves, his tone carrying a bit of blame.


    The soft voice carried a pleading tone, causing Fang Yu to immediately feel like he was drunk, it was not even able to match her gentleness. He then walked in front of Hu Li and cupped his fists: "I have offended you, please do not blame me."


    "Young Master Fang is too courteous." Within the iciness, there was a hint of anger that was not too obvious.


    Ling Shuang heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Nephew Hu, let''s go talk in the front hall," Fang Xiu Wen said as he gestured to Hu Li to go ahead and talk.


    Hu Li turned to look at Ling Shuang, bit down his lips and forced himself to leave. After being together for six years day and night in the past, it had become so difficult for him to take a single look at her. He felt more and more uncomfortable.


    Seeing Hu Li leave, Ling Shuang also left with him.


    With a "pa" sound, the branch in Fang Yue''s hand, who had been standing under the tree all this time, broke into two pieces. The broken piece pierced deeply into his palm, leaving behind a trail of blood.


    "Sister, why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Ling Wan, who had walked over at some point in time, looked at her hand in lament, and gently held it in her own.


    Ling Wan''s voice was extremely gentle, and carefully used a handkerchief to wrap around Fang Yue''s bleeding hand, "This wound needs to be stopped as soon as possible. Otherwise, it''ll be bad for your scar in the future."


    "That bitch is going too far!" The corners of Fang Yue''s eyes had already turned red.


    Ling Wan raised an eyebrow, but smiled faintly: "In the end, Ling Shuang had also become a great general before, and everyone was given some face. However, it was said that when the Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun was in the army, he was called over by Ling Shuang to the tents to discuss military matters.


    Fang Yue''s body fiercely trembled, however, his hand was grabbed by Ling Wan as he said in a low voice, "Little sister, I believe Young Master Hu is also bewitched, so don''t worry. I''ve already found that set of pearl heads for you. Why don''t you follow me and take a look? "


    Fang Yue''s expression relaxed: "Many thanks to Aunt and Young Grandmother for your concern. Let''s go and take a look."

 C25

    On the ninth day of the seventh month, the sky was clear and cloudless. It was a wonderful day.


    Early in the morning, there were more than ten carriages parked in front of the Fang Residence. They were preparing to bring their families to the Chen Estate to celebrate their birthday. Duke of Chen was a country''s uncle after all, and Fang Family was also a relative of the Chen family.


    Just the birthday presents in the rooms were filled with two carriages, one was a coral tree, the other was a mutton fat jade carving of a birthday duke, the rest was inlaid with gold and silver jewelry, the screen was extremely eye-catching.


    Because Fang Heng had to give his grandfather a birthday celebration, he couldn''t be imprisoned in the ancestral hall anymore. Today, he had changed into a set of silver, embroidered robes with green embroidery and his expression became much calmer.


    Ling Wan was still pink all over, and although her skin seemed to match well with hers, she seemed a little petty. She followed Fang Heng respectfully and entered the carriage behind Mrs Fang, carefully waiting on him.


    "Is everyone here?" The Mrs Fang asked indifferently.


    Housekeeper Li swept his eyes over the last carriage and said slowly, "Second Young Master and Second Young Madam just replied that they will go over shortly. Second Young Madam is still not ready yet, so we''ll need to wait a while."


    "Humph!" What do you think you are? A large family is waiting for the two of them? " Fang Yue coldly snorted.


    She had dressed up well today, so her grandfather''s birthday would definitely come to many children from influential families. If her grandfather could give some advice to the Hu Family, then I think it would also be possible for and her to sleep in a room.


    Mrs Fang''s calm face flashed with a hint of coldness, and he immediately said: "Since that''s the case, we''ll head out first."


    The Mrs Fang was clearly throwing Fang Yu and his wife aside. It would be best if those two things that couldn''t be put on the stage never appeared again.


    Fang Yue helped the Mrs Fang into the carriage and laughed: "For such a grand banquet, Ling Shuang cannot dress himself as a boy or girl, I think it must be extremely boring right now!"


    Mrs Fang looked at his daughter''s smiling face and sighed to himself. In the end, she was too young and could not endure such a thing, so he said slowly: "She is definitely not that easy to deal with. It is not worth it for such a fine jade to touch a tile. "


    Although Fang Yue was not convinced, he still nodded his head, but he did not agree with it. What did Ling Shuang count for? The Ling Family did not even have someone to support him. It was not easy to find a male who was still a cripple. If not for Ling Family''s decline, how could Emperor have taken her military power away so easily?


    She was actually quite interested in the news that Ling Wan had inadvertently brought up yesterday. Who cares if you''re a great general or not, as long as it landed in her hands, she would definitely teach you a lesson.


    "Right, have you become familiar with the ''Song of the Beauty'' you prepared today?" Mrs Fang only hoped that his daughter could use her father''s birthday banquet to show her talent. At that time, with the addition of the family background of the Fang Residence, what kind of good son-in-law in the world would not be chosen by his own daughter?


    "In reply to mother, Yue''er definitely won''t have any problems practicing that melody for a few months. Mother, don''t worry."


    "En!" Mrs Fang nodded happily. From the moment her eldest son, Fang Heng, caused such a scandal, she was so angry that she almost died, hoping that this time, this pair of children would give her some hope.


    The Mansion of the Duke of Chen arrived quickly, and stopped his carriage outside the second door. Fang Xiu Wen accompanied the Minister in the front to deal with it. After greeting the Chen family''s patriarch''s own sister-in-law, the Mrs Fang walked into the garden where the birthday feast was being held.


    The Chen family''s banquet this time was extremely large. Just from the wedding invitation, they sent out thousands of pieces, and even more people came to deliver gifts. The large Mansion of the Duke of Chen''s front courtyard had long been filled with all kinds of gifts.


    The banquet was set up in Mansion of the Duke of Chen''s Spring Festival Garden. There were hundreds of flowers in full bloom, pine trees surrounded the area, and even the banquet table was arranged in a grand manner. The dishes at the feast were exceptionally exquisite. There was a cold dish with a peacock spreading its tail, a Lilium Begonia Soup, an Ice Flower Silver Ear Dew, and dozens of other delicacies. In the middle of each hot dish was a large bowl of steamed lamb with cow''s milk ¨C a karma lamb dug out from the womb. The price of the feast was about one hundred taels of silver.


    All sorts of Chen Family disciples offered their birthday presents to the Duke of Chen. Even the Crown Prince above the palace sent a rare jade statue of Hainan Guanyin.


    The Duke of Chen sitting in the middle wore a dark gold colored gown, his skin was slightly black, his figure robust and his facial features rough. With an imposing aura, a pair of deep eyes under his thick eyebrows caused one to be unable to help from feeling a sense of oppression.


    "Grandfather," Fang Heng slowly walked forward with the box in his hands, bowing as he said, "This is the birthday present Heng`er has gifted Grandfather.


    Chen Mao, who was standing beside Duke of Chen, quickly received it and opened it for him. A burst of dazzling light came over, and unexpectedly, there were twelve baby palm-sized Eastern Ocean Southern Pearl.


    It was rare to find one bead like this, but now that he had gathered twelve, it was quite rare.


    Duke of Chen was clearly very satisfied, after ordering his men to take it in, he even chatted with Fang Heng for a while, obviously having forgiven Fang Heng for what happened on the floral vessel.


    Mrs Fang slightly nodded his head, just as he was about to say something that would make the old man happy, he suddenly heard surprised exclamations from the entrance of the garden.


    The crowd all turned to look at the door, only to see that Fang Yu was dressed in a pure white embroidered gown, on it was embroidered a complex cloud pattern, and it was even a dark line. The flowing clouds on the corner of Fang Yu''s clothes floated up and down as he walked step by step into the Flower Hall, as if they were alive. He had a coiling dragon jade belt on his waist, and his long black hair was tied up in a black jade crown.


    The gazes of almost all the young girls at the banquet were deeply attracted, but the woman who followed closely behind Fang Yu made their hearts instantly fall to the bottom.


    Ling Shuang was now following Fang Yu from the back. Before she came, her clothes were only made up by Fang Yu, but even so, she was still extremely nervous.


    Because she had never worn such a woman''s outfit, even before she had transmigrated, she wore either a military uniform or a tight suit. This was the first time she wore such complicated clothes from ancient times, and although she felt awkward, she didn''t dare to show the slightest bit of fear.


    Today, they had come to add fuel to the fire, so of course, they had to show off in their best condition.


    Everyone looked at Ling Shuang in shock. There had never been anyone who could wear a color that looked so tacky like red to be so breathtaking.


    The gauze on Ling Shuang''s body was completely gold-red, supporting her lustrous white skin. The originally cold and unrestrained phoenix eyes overflowed with light against the strong red contrast. There was a beauty in her eyes that was hard to describe. Other than being breathtakingly beautiful, there was nothing that could be done about it.


    It was one word ¡ª peerless in its glory!

 C26

    As a Great General of the West, Ling Shuang had been on the battlefield for ten years straight, and this kind of woman was already an abnormal existence in the Great Yan Dynasty.


    To the men of Great Yan Dynasty, she challenged the dignity of all the men. To the women, other than feeling a little jealous of her, she also felt deep contempt.


    All along, when talking about Ling Shuang, everyone treated her like a monster.


    But today, the Ling Shuang in red makeup would definitely have a new title, the title of great swallow''s number one beauty. He had never thought that this girl, who looked like a man''s wife, would be so captivating once she changed into a woman''s outfit.


    Even those old fellows in the main seat had their eyes, eyes, and tongue-tied. The usually calm and serious Mrs Fang was also dumbstruck.


    Fang Yu took Ling Shuang and leisurely walked to the front of the Duke of Chen, held the rosewood box and said, "Junior does not have anything that I can help with, I only have one piece of Ink Platform that I want to offer to Grandfather. I wish Grandfather a happy long life."


    Duke of Chen''s face twitched. This was truly a strange gift. Even though he liked to collect the Four Treasures of the study and calligraphy, this small inkstone ¡­


    "Ha!" "second brother is too petty, and lost our Fang Family''s people," Fang Yue snorted, but everyone at the banquet was shocked by Fang Yu and his temperament. It was extremely quiet, and Fang Yue''s words were exceptionally sharp.


    Hu Li, who was sitting beside the Marquis of Ping at the east side, laughed loudly and said: "Fang Family is always so elegant, I believe this Ink Platform is also a rare item, if not we can take it out for a look."


    Although these words helped Fang Yu out a bit, he could not help but feel jealous of Fang Yu''s elegant temperament.


    But when he looked at Ling Shuang who was beside Fang Yu, his heart started racing again. Why didn''t I realize that Ling Shuang was such a beauty when we were still in the army camp in the past? He felt a burning pain in his heart as he looked at his. No matter how beautiful he was, it would only increase his sadness.


    After he finished speaking, he sat down in a dejected manner, looked at Ling Shuang who was at the opposite side, and then shifted her gaze back to the side.


    Fang Yu had already expected that people would say something like that, seeing Chen Mao Zedong beside Duke of Chen, he did not know whether or not he should accept Fang Yu''s gift.


    For a dignified Duke of Chen to accept an ink stone, it would be too inferior if he did not accept it. However, if he did not accept it and felt that the other party''s gift was too light, it would bring shame to him.


    The Chen brothers stared at Fang Yu in hatred. This fellow was only here to cause trouble, but the two of them seemed to have forgotten their previous actions of almost drowning his wife.


    "Well said, Young Master Hu!" Fang Yu withdrew his extended arm, turned around and smiled to the guests, "Indeed, I was inconsiderate. However, Young Master Hu is right about one thing. This Ink Platform is the most rare treasure in this world. Since everyone has doubts about it, I might as well take it out to have a look. "


    The banquet was suddenly filled with mocking laughter. Wasn''t this just a broken inkstone? Furthermore, he was unique and rarely seen. This Second Young Master Fang was indeed a good-for-nothing who did not stand on ceremony, he had truly disgraced Fang Family.


    "Yu''er!" Don''t be rude! Hurry up and apologize to Grandfather! " Fang Xiu Wen was embarrassed, he really could not tolerate the actions of his second son and his wife. One after another, his old bones were going to be scrapped.


    Fang Yu did not care about his dignity as a father. Back when he was young, he held onto his father''s leg and begged for Mrs Fang to not hit him again, he would always remember his father''s cold face.


    Fang Yu ordered someone to bring over a roll of plain silk, and let the four tall girls take a corner each and spread it out. Then, he opened the rosewood box in his hand and took out a pitch black inkstone.


    Just as Fang Yu took out the case, scattered surprised exclamations came from all directions.


    Duke of Chen suddenly stood up, "Yu''er, this... "Could this be?"


    "In reply to Grandfather, this is the famous Waterless Research. The calligrapher of the previous dynasty, Xie Xi, used the unique Heaven Lake Ink Stone at the bottom of the Heaven Basin. He did not use water and automatically turned the ink into ink. The ink was clear and smooth, and there was also a special fragrance coming from it. "The most important thing is that the family that created this ancient ink has already disappeared from this world a hundred years ago, so this inkstone in Yu''er''s hands is definitely one of a kind."


    Everyone understood this unique meaning, and it was precisely because water was not something that could be bought with money that was its true value. It was definitely thousands of times more expensive than those Eastern Beads or Jade Guanyin.


    "Shuang Er!"


    Ling Shuang secretly laughed at this fellow''s smugness, she suppressed her laughter and started to grind Fang Wu Shui Yan with both hands. Her pure white hands naturally carried a hint of the fragrance of adding incense to the sleeves, and Long Chen Yi, who was watching from the side, unexpectedly developed a yearning look.


    In the dead of night, it was truly a beautiful thing to have such a beautiful woman accompanying him. Furthermore, Ling Shuang''s character was not dull, so no matter who it was, they would not be able to let go of this woman.


    As expected, a clear fragrance seeped out from the water without water and miraculously filled the entire inkstone with bright ink. However, Fang Yu was holding onto two Wolf Bristles as he started to flutter wantonly on the top of the Susu Pagoda.


    Everyone looked at Fang Yu in shock. Writing calligraphy by himself was either a form of calligraphy or practice calligraphy, but this Fang Family''s Second Young Master was actually so talented.


    His left hand was filled with the vigorous energy of his bones. It was an awe-inspiring calligraphy piece, and he had mastered it with a single glance. On his right hand was a cursive script, which could shock snakes and penetrate grass. The same brushstroke, the same speed, the same perfection.


    Even Ling Shuang, who knew the truth in advance, was shocked. If this fellow lived in the modern world, he would definitely be torn to shreds and snatched back his family. He was truly talented, and was also so handsome.


    Fang Yu wrote down the scroll, the four servant girls blushed when they saw Fang Yu''s elegance, following his orders, they presented the scroll to Duke of Chen.


    "Sangyangpeng is a man of his dreams, and a gentleman will have great fortune."


    "Good!" Good calligraphy, good poem, and so elegant! " A young man who was sitting beside Long Chen Yi and dressed in an expensive purple robe stood up with a face full of admiration, as he consecutively used the word "good".


    This man was Third Prince Long Chenxuan, the only prince that could contend against Long Chen Yi. The mother family was the Jiangnan Wang family, but this son was Emperor Chengping''s favorite prince.


    Not only that, this Third Prince was also a rare great scholar, to be able to receive such a high evaluation from him, it was likely that Fang Yu would be able to dominate the young generation of the influential families in the future.


    Immediately, countless praises came out from the crowd, Fang Yu placed the inkstone back into the rosewood box and slowly brought it to Duke of Chen.

 C27

    Unexpectedly, Duke of Chen did not rely on Chen Mao to help her. Instead, she personally took it.


    "Where is Second Master Fang now?" Third Prince Long Chenxuan had already started to love money, and lightly asked, with the intention of winning his over.


    "Reporting to Your Highness, I don''t know where I have gone until now," Fang Yu answered truthfully.


    Fang Xiu Wen felt a burst of awkwardness. He really couldn''t continue to such an outstanding son who was treated by him as a piece of trash. Just as he was about to speak, the Duke of Chen continued and slowly said, "The capital city''s Master Dean''s side just so happens to be lacking a subordinate official. I wonder if Yu''er is willing?"


    In the end, Jiang or the older was already in the limelight of the struggle for the direct line of descent in the imperial court. Of course, the Crown Prince held a position that was blessed by the heavens.


    Rather than letting the Third Prince take Fang Yu under his command and become his rival, it was better to just keep him under his nose. He was the one who promoted Jing Zhao and Yin Du Huicheng, putting Fang Yu by his side would relieve a problem in the Crown Prince. And for a mere subordinate to come, Fang Yu would definitely not threaten the position of his daughter in the Fang Residence.


    Fang Yu sneered on the inside, this was what a venomous man truly was, he really was the famous uncle and his Duke of Chen. But isn''t this guy more challenging? He pursed his lips and hid the coldness in his eyes well. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yu''er is willing to serve. Thank you for your guidance, grandfather."


    Third Prince''s face froze. It was a pity that such a good person could only be a subordinate, but this matter could be discussed later.


    "Second Master Fang, I really like your calligraphy skills. The doors to the King Rui''s manor are always open for you," the Third Prince Long Chenxuan said as he slowly sat down.


    The crowd was once again shocked, the King Rui was normally so arrogant that he couldn''t even look at others properly, even a noble king would rarely step foot into the King Rui Palace. These words caused Fang Yu''s identity to instantly rise, and at this moment, the gazes with which they looked at him were filled with different kind of admiration and respect from the past.


    Long Chen Yi calmly took a sip of the wine, a cold sneer on his face, this Fang Yu really knows how to act. He wanted to see how capable he was. He would never show mercy to people who were friends with Third Prince. Moreover, he was also Ling Shuang''s husband. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.


    Why didn''t he come back early? If he came back a few days earlier, maybe he could have brought Ling Shuang into her own Crown Prince Palace. However, it was too late to say anything now.


    "Is royal brother not feeling well?" Third Prince Long Chenxuan looked at Long Chen Yi''s tightly knitted eyebrows.


    "Thank you for your concern, Third Brother." Thank you for your concern, but


    "Take care, royal brother!" Long Chen Xuan smiled and turned his head but did not say anything.


    Halfway through the banquet, many girls from influential families started to go up onto the stage to practice their zither, calligraphy, paintings, singing and dancing to liven things up.


    She slowly stood up, hugged her zither and leaned towards the center, and smiled sweetly at Duke of Chen. "Grandfather, Yue''er has prepared a song for you today, okay?"


    Since young, Fang Yue had frequently been carried by the Mrs Fang for a few days, where he grew up. He had raised five sons by the Duke of Chen, so he was exceptionally fond of the little girl.


    Fang Yue''s sweet and gentle voice was extremely useful to the Duke of Chen, as he laughed: "Grandfather would like to hear what tune Yue''er has learnt."


    Fang Yue sat in the center of the hall with the guqin in his arms, but he looked in the direction of Hu Li when he lifted his eyes. Unexpectedly, Hu Li only had eyes for Ling Shuang''s figure, the other things could not enter his eyes.


    Fang Yue''s heart trembled, he immediately turned around and raised his hand to caress it, the zither music was pure and pure, like the sound of flowing water. The accuracy of his voice and sound was extremely good. He was indeed a well-known talented girl in the capital.


    After the song ended, it wouldn''t be too much to beat around the bush for three days.


    "Good song!" Duke of Chen laughed lovingly.


    Fang Yue was truly blessed to have bowed, with a proper appearance, there was no place that could not be called the model of a concubine.


    Seeing Fang Yue''s arrogant and lovable figure, Third Prince Long Chen Yi secretly laughed. Although this girl''s zither skills were superb, he had a smug attitude. Some people were afraid of the Fang Family and the Chen Family, so they flattered them for a while. Long Chen Xuan felt even more bored.


    Fang Yue once again shifted his gaze towards Hu Li. Who would have thought that Hu Li would still be silently observing him, so this sort of mental fortitude was extremely rare.


    She could not help but feel exceptionally angry and resentful. When she turned to look at Ling Shuang, she was actually whispering with him, and an enchanting smile hung on her face.


    "Second Sister-in-Law!" Fang Yue''s head immediately turned to look at Ling Shuang provocatively.


    Currently, Fang Yue, Fang Yu and Ling Shuang were the focus of everyone''s attention. Fang Yue''s shout attracted the attention of the majority of the people.


    Ling Shuang had originally thought that Fang Yu had made a name for himself this time, and achieved their goal, this time he was fully focused on dealing with the delicacies in front of him.


    His mouth was still filled with a wine-making pill, but he did not expect that this Fang Yue would suddenly become crazy and target her.


    Ling Shuang''s mouth was still holding the pill, but her cheeks had a cute look. Many people smiled, but Hu Li''s heart ached even more.


    Actually, Ling Shuang was also a girl, but she had endured even more suffering and became stronger than ordinary people. She had sacrificed so many things for the Great Yan Dynasty, maybe Fang Yu had really given her so many things that he had not been able to do in time.


    Long Chen Yi couldn''t help but smile. She was still as cute as ever.


    "What?" Sister, are you calling me? " Ling Shuang swallowed the pill, while Fang Yu looked at him vigilantly from the side, his brows knitted together.


    Fang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Second Sister-in-Law, I heard that Ling Family is an aristocratic family, I wonder if you can play a song that will broaden our horizons."


    Ling Shuang was startled, the Ling Family seemed to have always been a place for swords, spears, and halberds, right?


    Ling Wan sneered in her heart, this time Ling Shuang was going to make a fool of herself. Everyone knew that Ling Shuang''s swordplay was not bad, her zither, chess, calligraphy and painting were truly taking Ling Shuang''s life.


    "Yue Er, your Second Sister-in-Law has never been interested in these things!" Fang Yu also knew that it was impossible for Ling Shuang to caress the zither.


    "Not interested or not?" Fang Yue scoffed.


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix-like eyes were fixed on Fang Yue''s face. This brat, if I don''t hit him, he won''t go away!


    "You really want to hear it?"


    "Second Sister-in-Law, don''t waste anymore time," Fang Yue said as his lips revealed a cruel and cold smile.

 C28

    Ling Shuang lowered her head and thought deeply before whispering a few words into Cha Zi''s ear. Before long, Cha Zi mounted her horse and passed a narrow and long cloth bag to Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang opened her cloth bag and took out an oddly-shaped musical instrument. It was not a normal seven-stringed zither, but had twenty-one strings.


    Even Fang Yu found it strange, when did this girl make such a musical instrument? Why didn''t he know? How would he know that Ling Shuang was an expert at the zither before he transmigrated, hence he knew everything?


    It was just that she did not want to tell Fang Yu her true identity, so after making the zither, she was also hidden by Ling Shuang.


    Seeing Ling Shuang holding a strange musical instrument as she sat on the snow-white felt mat in the middle, many people curiously stretched their necks. They didn''t know if this girl who had already given them too many surprises, was there another kind of surprise that they had never seen before.


    Ling Shuang focused on fiddling with the zither. She had secretly practiced it a few times, so it shouldn''t be a problem.


    Suddenly, Ling Shuang''s red sleeves flew up, and a melody instantly rose up like a sharp sword, causing everyone to be shocked.


    "Canghai laughed! The tides on both sides of the river! " Ling Shuang''s clear and beautiful voice along with the soul-stirring tune suddenly sounded out, and the surroundings became completely silent without a single noise.


    The melody was slow and unceasing, fast and not chaotic. As the tempo of the second half increased, becoming more and more intimate, everyone''s hearts were shocked by the feeling of gratitude and hatred.


    A melodious and sharp flute sound suddenly merged into Ling Shuang''s melody. It was so fitting and did not seem out of the ordinary in the slightest, but it also added a little more Vast Expanse to the tune.


    There was a domineering attitude, but also an uncontrollable sorrow. There was also an endless stream of energy. Such a shocking tune, it was definitely the only one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, and it was also the only one.


    Long Chen Xuan slowly stood up and uncontrollably walked to the front of this strange couple, quietly defending them. As if he was drunk from listening to their words, the song ended, and no one could say a word.


    Long Chen Xuan was the first to come to his senses after hearing the melody, and asked softly: "What is the name of this piece of music by the young mistress, why is it so desolate?"


    Ling Shuang smiled, she had always liked this song. After she became an agent, she was forced to do many things. She could not tell her family about the endless loneliness and the pain that ordinary people could not endure. Of course, this could not be said, it could not be said.


    "Reporting to Your Highness, this song is called ''A Laughter of the Canghai''."


    "Is a good name made by the young mistress?"


    Long Chen Xuan was even more shocked and immediately asked: "I never thought that Young Madam would actually be able to create such a tune!"


    Ling Shuang could only say in a deep voice, "One year ago, I was besieged by three hundred thousand Steel Cavalry of the Wuhuan. I stood at the top of the city in the midst of a snowstorm, in the wilderness, I fought for ten years in a war, I was also very tired and also felt homesick, so this song seems a bit desolate. "


    Fang Yu''s heart was in extreme pain, he held Ling Shuang''s hand tightly, yet he was unable to say a single word.


    Ling Shuang suddenly had the urge to speak up for Ling Shuang who had fought for ten years. She slowly looked around and said, "I know that all of you look down on female generals, but in reality ¡­ I also really want to dress up like a woman and act coquettishly in front of my parents.


    She suddenly felt a fierce pain in her chest. However, the moisture in her eyes was suppressed and her eyes became a bit brighter.


    "But, I, Ling Shuang, am a person of my dreams and have never regretted fighting with my brothers in the snowy plains. That is my dream and that is something that I will protect for my entire life. I... Ling Shuang never regretted it! "


    As Ling Shuang finished speaking, she was a little tired. She held her hand and only wanted to hug her and protect her, so she quickly brought her to the entrance of the Flower Hall.


    A line of tears dropped from the corner of Hu Li''s eyes as he watched the red-clothed female leave with her head lowered.


    "General Ling!" Third Prince Long Chenxuan suddenly rushed to Ling Shuang''s front, "General Ling, please accept this respect!"


    Everyone stared blankly at the magnificent dragon, phoenix grandson bowing to a girl, they simply didn''t dare to believe what they were seeing.


    Ling Shuang was shocked too, she immediately supported him, but her heart was in turmoil. She finally obtained the best rewards and honor in the world for Ling Shuang who was happy for the past.


    Until Ling Shuang and Fang Yu disappeared from the entrance of the hall, only then did the people realize that, with a sickly expression, it didn''t take long for the banquet to end.


    On the way back, Fang Heng''s expression had been extremely gloomy. He knew Ling Shuang''s personality, and would never say anything about it. For some reason, her words today had moved him greatly. Even the understanding Ling Wan was not able to pique his interest.


    Was that laugh from the blue sea really the voice in her heart?


    After returning to the Fang Residence''s East Garden, Ling Shuang sat by the window and remained silent.


    Cha Zi and Yan Hong''s eyes were red from crying. They had fought with the Eldest Miss for so many years, but never would they have thought that the Eldest Miss was such a weak person.


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu carefully held onto that pair of ice cold hands, on top of which there was a thick layer of old calluses which was accustomed to holding onto swords.


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu suddenly dropped his head to kiss the thick cocoon on her hand, and called out gently, wishing that he could shoulder all the pain, panic and fatigue in the past.


    Fang Yu had never felt such pain before, even when he was young and his skin was cut by a blade and forced to eat rotten food, when he was toyed with by Fang Heng, and when he was abandoned by Fang Xiu Wen, he had never felt such pain.


    He was in so much pain that he didn''t know what to do. He really couldn''t do anything about her.


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu slowly pulled Ling Shuang into her embrace and tightened her grip, raising her stubborn chin to look at her misty phoenix eyes.


    "Shuang Er, in this life, I will not let you suffer even a little bit. Unless I die, no, even if I die, you won''t suffer even a little bit."


    Ling Shuang trembled violently. She was only trying to help Ling Shuang out today, but she did not expect Fang Yu to be so serious about it. Her lips opened, but were suddenly sealed by Fang Yu''s burning hot lips.


    Ling Shuang was completely dumbstruck. Was this considered her first kiss? Though it was strange.


    Ling Shuang''s mind gradually returned to normal and she quickly pushed him away in panic, her face blushing red.


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu panted heavily, looking at the woman in front of him whose appearance was both picturesque and resolute, "Shuang Er, I want to ask you a question."


    Ling Shuang turned her head around uncomfortably: "What do you want to know?"


    Fang Yu''s peach blossom eyes revealed a faint smile: "Shuang Er, I want to go back on my word. I don''t want to wait for half a year, can we ¡­ For real? "


    Ling Shuang was startled, then suddenly raised her eyes to look at Fang Yu''s serious eyes, her heart suddenly became anxious and she broke free from Fang Yu''s restraints, "Really ¡­ That''s a rotten question. "

 C29

    Looking at Ling Shuang''s fleeing figure, Fang Yu could not help but smile bitterly. What should she do in the end to make her accept him?


    On the second day, as soon as Ling Shuang woke up, she delivered a large stack of name scrolls to her.


    "What is this?" Ling Shuang was a little tired yesterday as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.


    Yan Hong recited the name on the name scroll in a serious manner, "Weibei of the Weibei family is invited to attend the ceremony before reaching the age of thirty. The little gongzi of the Cheng family invites Eldest Miss to attend the ceremony, and Vice Miss Xue admires Eldest Miss''s zither arts so she can invite Eldest Miss to participate in the Xue family''s poetry gathering ¡­ "And ¡­"


    "Emma!" "Forgive me!" Ling Shuang laid down again, and covered his head with the blanket.


    "Yan Hong, you are talking about some things that the Eldest Miss is not interested in, but there are two in here that you cannot not go."


    "Go, go, go. I don''t want to hear anything. What nonsense is this? Can''t you let me rest early in the morning?" Ling Shuang said in a muffled voice while she was under the blanket.


    Cha Zi pursed her lips and smiled: "One of these is a banquet that the Hu Family is hosting in a few days, this Eldest Miss can''t not go, right?"


    "A sham banquet?" Ling Shuang kicked off her blanket and accepted the invitation, she did not know whether to laugh or to cry, this fox was too troublesome, even she did not know how to respond.


    However, sometimes it was better to be clear about it. Brotherhood is brotherhood, why can''t we go on a wrong path?


    "Well, whose is the other one?" Ling Shuang didn''t feel that she had to go because of someone''s invitation.


    Cha Zi didn''t say anything and personally delivered the invitation to Ling Shuang.


    The greeting card was elegantly made. On it was imprinted the patterns of silk brocade clouds, and when it was unfurled, the pleasant bamboo fragrance would cause the air to be smeared with a faint color. The words on the name scroll were written with three big words: Long Chen Xuan.


    Ling Shuang pinched the center of her brows. She really was a headache, she could not afford to offend someone, and she was also quite shrewd. In fact, Ling Shuang faintly felt that it was even harder to deal with than the Crown Prince.


    "Forget it, immediately reply and say that I''ll pay my respects to King Rui with my husband tomorrow."


    "Yes," Cha Zi knew that the Eldest Miss did not dare to disobey the mysterious King Rui, and hurriedly ordered some people to go out and reply to him.


    "Where''s the Young Master?" After Ling Shuang finished washing up, he was still dressed in his silver attire, and his hair was still tied behind his head as usual.


    The flirtatious red dress was hung up by Ling Shuang, but it paused for a moment before gently stroking the patterns on the red robe. This Fang Yu sure knew how to design clothes.


    "If you are returning to Eldest Miss, Young Master will be reporting to Jing Zhaoyin about it today. I believe you can''t come back for lunch either."


    "Alright," Just as Ling Shuang stood up, she saw the curtain outside being lifted, and a round-faced woman with a clever boy walked in.


    Ling Shuang who had stretched her waist halfway down the path immediately lowered her arm and looked at the beautiful woman who wore a simple yet gentle and elegant outfit. She had also found out that this woman was none other than Fang Xiu Wen''s seventh wife, Auntie Ge.


    This Auntie Ge had always been a gentle and gentle person, but she was the most capable woman in the Fang Residence. The gentle and refined Seventh Madame of the whole house had a good reputation, and she was also a little good at it.


    It was not easy for her to raise her son to such a large age just by watching him give birth to his child safely.


    "Auntie Ge?" Ling Shuang still did not get used to calling out her name, but just as she was about to salute, she was supported by the Auntie Ge''s hand.


    "Second Young Madam is too polite, I heard that Second Young Madam suffered from the cold, are you feeling better?" The Auntie Ge''s gentle eyes were filled with concern.


    Ling Shuang suddenly had a headache. This was the kind of thing that she was most afraid of. There must be a reason why she came to pay her respects. She looked at the young boy who was hiding behind Auntie Ge and looking at her timidly, and already guessed a little.


    "Thank you, Auntie Ge, for your concern. Cha Zi, have a seat and drink some tea," Ling Shuang said as she moved the Auntie Ge to a chair to the side.


    "tortoise shell, come, greet Second Sister-in-Law!" Auntie Ge pushed the child behind him in front of Ling Shuang.


    "tortoise shell pays respects to Second Sister-in-Law!" That tortoise shell was the third young master of Fang Family, only six years old, but she seemed to have received a hint from Auntie Ge and knelt down obediently, kowtowing to Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang hurriedly grabbed the little child''s hand and helped her up. For a child like her to kowtow to her, she felt really awkward.


    "If Auntie Ge has something to say, just say it, don''t scare the child," Ling Shuang''s expression finally darkened, as she did not want to continue the formalities.


    The Auntie Ge smiled, as if she understood Ling Shuang''s temperament, and then said slowly: "I would like to invite Second Young Madam to take you in as my disciple."


    Puff! Ling Shuang secretly spat blood. She had pretended to teach Fang Yu martial arts to be a force to be reckoned with, and now that Fang Yu''s martial arts had reached the acme of perfection, the news had already spread out.


    They said that Ling Shuang''s ability to teach martial arts was really strong, and that she had the talent to cultivate martial masters. So, recently, many of the young masters of influential families had been sent to their doorsteps to seek guidance from Ling Shuang, but they did not expect that the Auntie Ge would also believe this.


    "Auntie Ge, this ¡­ The tortoise shell is too small, he won''t be able to take all the hardships. "


    Ling Shuang had also been an instructor in the past, but facing this cute and cute little girl, she really couldn''t bring herself to do anything.


    "And the Auntie Ge, I think the tortoise shell has a gentle personality and is suitable for learning literature. In the future, she will definitely become a famous literary star, and maybe even the top scholar in high school will become an unknowable figure."


    "Second Young Madam, I know that letting tortoise shell learn martial arts by following Second Young Madam is bringing you trouble, but I have something that I don''t know whether I should say or not?" Her gaze slowly moved towards Cha Zi who was standing still.


    Ling Shuang suddenly became nervous, and looked at Auntie Ge''s expression. All the people like the Auntie Ge, who could survive in such a big house, were all ordinary people who had a weak point in their hands.


    Since he found her today, she must have something important to trade with him. Ling Shuang''s expression became cold as he smiled: "Don''t worry Auntie Ge, I have followed me for many years, she can listen to anything that I say."


    The Auntie Ge seemed to be surprised as she looked at Cha Zi and nodded, then ordered her servant girl to bring the tortoise shell out. Ling Shuang also ordered Yan Hong to stand guard outside the door, she originally wanted to take a look at the situation, but she was sent out on an errand by Yan Hong.


    Ling Shuang''s heart trembled, wasn''t Aunt Chun the biological mother of Fang Yu?


    Auntie Ge continued to speak: "It''s said that Aunt Chun is extremely beautiful, how can I compare to her? It''s just that my eyes are similar to hers."

 C30

    Ling Shuang understood in her heart, to be able to give birth to such a handsome Fang Yu, her mother must be a beauty without a doubt.


    "The Lord Prime Minister really likes the Aunt Chun, so he was afraid that she might be wronged and built a pavilion outside for the Aunt Chun to live in. He was afraid that she wouldn''t have a good reputation and so he brought her back to the main house. Even at that time, no matter how much Mistress disliked Aunt Chun, she would not dare to do anything to her. "


    "Aunt Chun is a treasure in my heart, no one can surpass it. Even though they loved each other, Aunt Chun still died of illness later on. "


    Ling Shuang felt that Auntie Ge''s words were a little weird. Unexpectedly, Auntie Ge stopped talking here.


    "And then?" Ling Shuang could not help but feel anxious, sshe had been searching for the reason behind the death of her birth mother. Although he suspected that it was the Mrs Fang, he did not have the slightest bit of evidence.


    However, what surprised Ling Shuang even more was that since Fang Xiu Wen liked Fang Yu''s mother so much, he should have treated his seriously. Moreover, Fang Yu''s son was born of the woman Fang Xiu Wen liked the most, which was very strange.


    "Second Young Madam doesn''t know if she can consider it? I feel that the talent of tortoise shell is very suitable for cultivation. "


    Ling Shuang could not help but laugh bitterly, this Auntie Ge did not set an eagle before him!


    In order for Fang Yu to investigate this matter, it could be said that he had to pay attention to this matter at every turn or not to reveal the truth of that year.


    Maybe Fang Yu had hidden his name, and even brought her into Fang Family to seek revenge on Mrs Fang. He probably had thoughts of pursuing the cause of death of his birth mother, right?


    Ling Shuang knew that if she did not agree today, this Auntie Ge would not tell her anything. Ling Shuang suddenly realised that the Auntie Ge was the true negotiating expert, and immediately made up her mind: "Fine! I agree with your request and will definitely teach tortoise shell martial arts. From now on, with me, Ling Shuang, here, tortoise shell will not suffer any grievances. "


    A hint of surprise flashed past Auntie Ge''s eyes, and she immediately took out a cloth bag from her sleeve, "After Aunt Chun died, my master was sad and despaired, drinking alcohol every day to cheer himself up, which made Madame very angry. They even had to borrow the power of the Chen family, only then did the Prime Minister rein himself in. "


    Ling Shuang laughed inside, how come she couldn''t tell what kind of relationship this Fang Xiu Wen was?


    "After that, the young master carried a few concubines in a row, most of them carrying the shadow of the Aunt Chun. They looked like one''s eyes, one''s nose, or even one''s mouth, but those concubines all died later on."


    Ling Shuang could not help but shiver, this mansion was truly eerie and terrifying. Fortunately, she only had half a year left. Otherwise, she would have gone crazy.


    "Then why did the Auntie Ge survive?" Ling Shuang stared at her eyes.


    However, Auntie Ge did not answer and only carefully opened the small bag in her hands. Ling Shuang looked at the Fructus Caryopteris that laid inside the cloth bag in shock. At a glance, one could tell that it was a top-grade jade. Its entire body was exuding a circulating radiance, and the patterns within it were all naturally formed.


    "What a priceless bracelet," Ling Shuang couldn''t help but exclaim in admiration.


    The Auntie Ge laughed sinisterly: "Not bad, but this bracelet is the one that Aunt Chun always wears. The poison on it is impossible to cure."


    Ling Shuang suddenly stood up. Just as she was about to hold the bracelet and inspect it, she was suddenly blocked by Auntie Ge: "It''s poisonous. Don''t touch it Second Young Madam."


    "How could that be?"


    Auntie Ge sneered: "Although the Ge Family is just an ordinary travelling merchant, they have seen a lot of things."


    Ling Shuang looked at the Fructus Caryopteris that was quietly lying inside the kernels and her heart throbbed in pain.


    Auntie Ge continued, "There is a type of jade called rouge red, it does not contain the slightest bit of impurities. However, this jade contained deadly poison. If the jade was not directly filled with water, it would be a very beautiful jade. "If you touch the skin, everyone will sweat, and all the women will be wearing bangles and washing themselves with water. At this time, the poison in the rouge jade will slowly seep out and enter the person''s skin."


    "At the beginning, it was weak and powerless, very similar to the symptoms of cold wind. It was impossible to find the source of this poison. The Mrs Fang gave a lot of these bracelets to the aunts.


    "So Mrs Fang didn''t kill you?" Ling Shuang finally understood, "Mrs Fang knows that once Master found out that it was Mrs Fang who killed his most beloved woman, Mrs Fang would also lose his position in Fang Family, right?"


    "Second Young Madam is right, it was precisely because of this that Mrs Fang tolerated me so much. Amongst all of them, I should be the most similar to the Aunt Chun, right? That''s why the Prime Minister once passed the bracelet to me when he was drunk. "


    "Can you give me this bracelet?" Ling Shuang pointed to the bracelet on the cloth.


    Auntie Ge nodded her head: "Second Young Madam must be careful to keep it, and must not bring water. Also, please do not be too sad."


    Ling Shuang nodded her head and used the Bupa to wrap the bracelet properly again, and handed it over to Cha Zi who was already dumbfounded by what she had heard. When Fang Yu came back later, he would let him take a look.


    "Auntie Ge," Ling Shuang felt that there were still a lot of suspicious points during this period of time, and could not help but ask, "Auntie Ge was born in a travelling clan, I wonder where did you find this kind of jade?"


    "He''s here ¡­"


    "The Auntie Ge is here too?" Auntie Du''s candid laughter came from outside the door.


    Auntie Ge hurriedly stopped talking, and Yan Hong had already followed him into the Warm Pavilion. Cha Zi quickly hid the cloth bag with the jade bracelet inside her sleeves.


    Auntie Du was wearing an indigo embroidered shirt with peony stripes. Her eyebrows were thin and her eyes were thin, her skin was very good. Second Young Miss Fang Fei, who was beside her, quietly looked at Ling Shuang and smiled.


    Ling Shuang knew that she couldn''t ask Auntie Ge anymore today, as she was used to using the wind as the rudder. Now, seeing Ling Shuang gradually gaining power within the big house, she brought along three groups of good brocade brocades and smiled: "I''ve heard that Second Young Madam likes clean cloth, I just brought a few over for you to use first."


    Ling Shuang did not know whether to laugh or cry. Giving away people and cloth?


    Ling Shuang really did not want to be mixed up with these people. After half a year, she would leave.


    Auntie Du''s face was filled with awkwardness, she looked at Fang Fei who was at the side.


    Fang Fei''s gentle face revealed a look of reluctance as she looked at Ling Shuang, and said: "Fang Fei ¡­ Fang Fei really liked Second Sister-in-Law''s song, she wanted to consult Second Sister-in-Law on a piece of zither music. Fang Fei... "

 C31

    Hearing that her words could really kill someone, Ling Shuang braced himself and said: "Alright, I''ll accept this brocade. As for that tune, it''s not suitable for you."


    Fang Fei nodded her head obediently: "Second Sister-in-Law is right."


    They continued to chat for a while before dispersing.


    In the evening, Fang Yu returned to the East Garden. He had lost a bit of his flirtatiousness, but had gained a bit of elegance and elegance.


    "Shuang Er, your husband is back," Fang Yu liked living a peaceful life more and more now. Every day when he returned, he would see the candle in the warm room of the East Garden and eat the small dishes Ling Shuang cooked in the kitchen. Every day, he would bring Ling Shuang a small gift.


    He was like the husband of an ordinary family, enjoying the peace and peace his wife brought him.


    However, Ling Shuang did not reply to him today. He was a little surprised to find that Ling Shuang had walked into the Eastern Warming Pavilion with the fried chestnuts wrapped in oil paper.


    "Shuang Er, do you want to eat chestnuts?" Fang Yu lovingly placed the paper bag in front of Ling Shuang who was deep in thought. Every single time, he would bring her some delicious food to satisfy this little glutton''s appetite.


    "You''re back?" Ling Shuang''s expression was a little unnatural.


    "What''s wrong?" Fang Yu frowned, and immediately held her hand, "Who gave you such a hard time? Is it that Ling Wan is here again? "


    Ling Shuang could not help but laugh bitterly, who else could make him feel angry? Right now, she could be considered a thorn in her side in this mansion. Others could hide from her, but it was too late!


    "It''s not me, it''s your problem."


    "I... I don''t think I''ve offended you recently? " Fang Yu began to act cute, staring at the peach blossom in astonishment, and laughed, "Today, Jing Zhao Yin Master Dean also entrusted me with inspecting the security of the city square, and I can be considered big and small."


    Ling Shuang decided to still tell Fang Yu. Firstly, he had the right to know, and secondly, he must also want to know.


    Fang Yu raised his brows, "Why is she looking for you?"


    Fang Yu had no impression of this Auntie Ge, he was a person who had a bad feeling about his own existence.


    "Look at this," Ling Shuang said as she placed a cloth bag in front of Fang Yu, "Do not touch it with your hands.


    Fang Yu picked up the cloth bag and his face suddenly turned pale white.


    "Fang Yu, this was gifted to me by Auntie Ge, I believe you have recognized what your mother wore when she was alive," Ling Shuang carefully told her the whole story of what Auntie Ge had said this afternoon.


    The more Fang Yu listened, the uglier his complexion became. He guessed that his birth mother''s death was one thing, but watching this matter become real was another.


    His face was twisted as he punched the table. Instantly, a small crack appeared on the table.


    "Eldest Miss?" Cha Zi and Yan Hong hurriedly rushed in and looked at Ling Shuang in a daze.


    "All of you, leave first."


    "Yes!" The two girls didn''t know what was going on between the two of them, so they hurriedly retreated, closing the door tightly at the same time.


    Ling Shuang tightly held onto Fang Yu''s hand, which was oozing blood, his heart was in pain, but his voice was firm.


    "Since we know the truth and there''s less torture, then we might as well find out who the real culprit is and avenge the Your mother. It''s unavoidable for you to be sad, but if you don''t care about your body being messed up, wouldn''t you be giving those people with ill intentions a loophole? "


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu turned around and pulled Ling Shuang into her embrace, tightly holding him tightly as she sucked in a deep breath, "You''re right, I ¡­ "It''s not emotional."


    Ling Shuang squeezed out a slight smile out of her mouth and patted his back, "I wanted to ask about it in detail but I didn''t expect Auntie Du to come today. It''s already late in the night. How about I find a chance tomorrow to look into it? "


    Fang Yu''s heart was in pain, but he still nodded his head. He knew what Ling Shuang said was right, but the closer he got to the truth, the more he wanted to know.


    But he didn''t have the heart to let the person in his embrace feel fear, the smile on his face was even uglier than crying, he instantly carried Ling Shuang onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over him.


    "Go to sleep!"


    Ling Shuang watched as Fang Yu extinguished the light in the private room, and his ears did not let go of Fang Yu''s actions which were full of confidence, as his lips unconsciously curved up into a wry smile.


    Fang Yu! He was still a bit worried! Do you think it''s really appropriate to go to his father''s aunt''s house in the middle of the night?


    She had no choice but to sit up and order Cha Zi and to guard the Eastern Warm Pavilion. After changing into a set of black colored clothes, she instantly leaped onto the wall and followed Fang Yu.


    Auntie Ge lived in a remote courtyard south of West Garden. Along the way, they were surrounded by tall banana trees, and the Auntie Ge''s courtyard was also called the banana garden.


    Fang Yu''s inner force was deeper than hers, adding to the fact that he was already half a beat too slow, he wouldn''t be able to catch up. She had just crossed a few clumps of banana trees when his natural acumen roused her.


    A wave of intense unease slowly descended upon them. The banana forest was simply too quiet. In the past, she had trained in the tropical rain forest. In the past, she had trained in the tropical rain forest.


    No matter how strong and powerful he was, it was impossible that there was not a single sound in the banana forest. Unless there was someone in the banana forest!


    She abruptly turned around and returned to the periphery of the bananas, searching carefully. Indeed, she found a series of messy footprints in the woods.


    Not good! Ling Shuang suddenly raised her eyes to look at the banana garden where the Auntie Ge was located. The flames suddenly soared to the sky, and not long after, a densely packed group of people rushed over as if they had planned it all along.


    "Eldest Miss?" When Yan Hong saw Ling Shuang rushing back in a daze, she became extremely anxious. Eldest Miss''s face was extremely ugly, what was going on with the sudden appearance of such a chaotic group of people?


    "Don''t say anything, quickly change my clothes!"


    "Cha Zi, lock the night clothes on me in the bottom of the chest!"


    The two girls knew Ling Shuang''s decisiveness, so they simply followed her orders calmly. The moment Ling Shuang laid down, he had just changed into a set of pure white clothes, but the door to the courtyard of the East Garden was already hammering loudly.


    Wearing an outer garment, Ling Shuang slowly walked out. As if she had just been surprised from sleep, she looked at Mrs Fang, who had barged in with Fang Heng and the others behind her.


    Ling Shuang''s heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and looked at Mrs Fang.


    "Why didn''t you greet the owner?" Zhao mama, who was standing beside Mrs Fang, scolded angrily.


    Ling Shuang glared at her with her phoenix eyes.


    Without even looking, Mrs Fang ordered the servants beside him: "Search carefully, don''t let go of any corners."


    "Wait!" Mother, why are you so angry? Why are you searching my East Garden? " Ling Shuang stood in front of everyone and took down the Imperial Sword s off the walls.


    This time, even the Mrs Fang was a bit surprised. He then coldly said: "Second Young Master took advantage of the night time to infiltrate the Auntie Ge''s banana garden and killed mother and son. Tell me, what other evidence do you think I have?"


    "What did you say?" Ling Shuang was immediately stunned.

 C32

    Ling Shuang had already predicted that Fang Yu would cause trouble, but she definitely hadn''t expected that it would be a case where two people died.


    "Impossible!" For the first time, Ling Shuang could not maintain her composure, her voice trembling slightly as she looked coldly at Mrs Fang''s face, "Husband is discussing business with Lord Jing Zhaoyin today, how can he be related to Auntie Ge?"


    "How does this lady know?" Oh yeah, didn''t Auntie Ge come over to Second Young Madam''s side today? Could it be that Second Young Madam had done something that she shouldn''t have? "Are you that afraid of our search?"


    Zhao mama laughed coldly.


    The Imperial Sword in Ling Shuang''s hands clenched tightly, forcing herself not to kill the fat lady with one slash.


    "Search!" This kind of bastard who killed his own mother and brother is not fit to be a disciple of my Fang Family! " The corner of Mrs Fang''s mouth curved into a cold smile.


    Ling Shuang''s hand clenched into a fist. This time, Fang Yu was careless. She also somewhat regretted not stopping him earlier. This time, he must have been caught red-handed in order to get the evidence.


    Relying on Fang Yu''s martial arts, he was completely able to break out of the encirclement, but if he did that, the crime of murdering his mother and brother would be real. From now on, not to mention taking revenge for his mother, Fang Yu would also be a wanted man forever, living in the shadows.


    In this Great Yan Dynasty, it didn''t matter if you were talented or if you were handsome. Even if it was the Old Sky Emperor, he wouldn''t be able to save him, so Fang Yu would definitely surrender without a fight, and only then would he have a chance to explain himself.


    Mrs Fang searched her East Garden in such a hurry. If she guessed correctly, Mrs Fang must be looking for Fructus Caryopteris. That was the only stain in Mrs Fang''s life.


    Ling Shuang quickly rolled all sorts of analyses in her mind, forcing herself to calm down.


    Since Fang Yu wanted to go to the Auntie Ge''s side, he would definitely bring the with him, so the reason why the Mrs Fang was searching so hard for the Fructus Caryopteris must be because Fang Yu was hiding the bracelet.


    Ling Shuang''s mind became slightly calmer, she closed her eyes, and no longer bothered with the search around him.


    After half an incense worth of time, Mrs Fang was a little flustered and exasperated, but he managed to suppress his flustered and exasperation as he looked at Ling Shuang.


    "Auntie Ge just came to your place today, and was killed tonight. You can''t say that there are no suspects on your body, so ¡­"


    "So the Mrs Fang wants to exterminate all of them?" Ling Shuang raised her eyebrows, the cold light in her eyes made even Mrs Fang feel uncomfortable.


    "Ling Shuang, my mother did this in order to thoroughly investigate this matter. Why do you have to speak ill of her!?" Fang Heng walked over.


    Ling Shuang''s Imperial Sword was pulled out, causing Mrs Fang to be shocked and immediately pulling Fang Heng who almost crashed into the sword blade a step back.


    "Ling Shuang, don''t be too arrogant! Someone bring Xiang Zhui here! " To Ling Shuang, the imposing aura that Mrs Fang was going to get was extremely ridiculous.


    Xiang Zhui tremblingly kneeled in front of Mrs Fang and cried: "Please spare me, Madam! Today, Second Young Madam ordered his servants to bring him here. Later on, as they were chatting, a quarrel broke out. Not long later, the Auntie Du came. After that, as this servant sent the Auntie Ge back, the Auntie Ge cried the entire time ¡­ "


    Ling Shuang did not move, but the Mrs Fang was surprised.


    Xiang Zhui continued: "Auntie Ge has always been crying, and her expression seems to be very downcast. She said that Second Young Master ¡­"


    "What happened to him?" Mrs Fang snapped.


    "Second Young Master fears his wife like a tiger, but since he is so unruly, it won''t be possible for him to go to the Qin Lou and the Chu Clan ¡­ One day, when I was drunk, I accidentally broke into a banana garden and tried to molest Auntie Ge ¡­ "


    "Xiang Zhui! Is Auntie Ge very familiar with you? To be insulted by someone who has nothing to do with the East Garden, are you not afraid of being thrown into a pig cage? "


    Ling Shuang glared at Xiang Zhui fiercely, the disgust in his eyes could not be concealed. These bastards! He was even charged with the crime of insulting his elders, all of these crimes, where would Fang Yu be able to live?


    Xiang Zhui did not expect Ling Shuang to be so patient, and said carefully: "This servant is from the same hometown as Auntie Ge, so Auntie Ge told this matter to this servant."


    "Same village?" With a ''shua'' sound, Ling Shuang placed the Imperial Sword on top of Xiang Zhui''s neck. Which state? Which county? Which county? Which village? How many people were there in the Auntie Ge? Is Auntie Ge''s Sixth Uncle''s Third Cousin''s second niece born a boy or a girl? "


    "Two ¡­" Second Young Madam, how did this servant know? " Xiang Zhui did not expect Ling Shuang to ask that.


    "Aren''t you from the same village?! So intimate that the Auntie Ge would even tell you something that would hurt her life if she was taken advantage of! How could you not know this? Could it be that you want to hook up with the Second Young Master?


    "Why is Second Young Madam slandering us?" Xiang Zhui''s breath was unstable.


    "I''m spitting blood. That day, my husband even told me that you ran to his room wearing a red undergarment!"


    "Your servant is not wearing a red undergarment!"


    "Oh, that''s the one with the lotus flowers embroidered in the white apron?"


    "This servant wasn''t wearing her undergarment at all that day!" Xiang Zhui suddenly realized that he leaked it, and indeed, she did not wear her undergarment to go to Fang Yu''s east side that day.


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes became slightly cold, and she suddenly thrusted her sword over.


    "Stop!" Mrs Fang did not expect Ling Shuang to be so cunning that she almost exposed her ability, and knew that Ling Shuang was not someone she could take care of tonight, so she said, "Come, bring Xiang Zhui down and lock him up well."


    Ling Shuang retracted her sword and coldly looked at Mrs Fang: "My husband has been wrongly accused. Although Fang Family is a huge mansion, he cannot ignore the laws of the country. Tonight, I will send someone to see Master Dean Jing Zhaoyin and ask him to send someone for questioning. If something were to happen to my husband during this period of time, I think it would be difficult for you, mother. "


    Mrs Fang was startled, she did not expect that at this point, Ling Shuang would actually think of a method to defeat her. She really had the intention to poison Fang Yu to death in the inner chamber, and then fake a scene of him committing suicide out of guilt.


    But if Ling Shuang caused such a ruckus, Fang Yu''s death in Fang Family would become the biggest suspect. It was indeed powerful. In an instant, the situation had turned in her direction.


    But so what if he was jailed? She also had a way to make Fang Yu die a few times inside the prison, but it was just that she found it troublesome to think of how to get rid of this woman.


    "Heng`er, from tonight onwards, East Garden can only exit and not enter. There is also the matter of Second Young Madam having to take responsibility and not step foot out of East Garden."


    Ling Shuang sneered, but her heart was at ease, as long as her defense did not get killed tonight, she would have a way to turn the world upside down.


    How dare you bully her, Ling Shuang! Do you want to test if her Ling Shuang''s Imperial Sword is sharp?


    Alright, I''ll follow you to the end!

 C33

    Mrs Fang led the people and left the East Garden, but who knew that Fang Heng would turn back around and face him, Ling Shuang looked at him coldly.


    Fang Heng appeared a little nervous, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her: "For such a person, you''re really not worth it."


    Ling Shuang was startled, what did Fang Heng mean? She was just about to wait for him to mock her, but who knew that he would put on a look of pity? Ling Shuang was drunk.


    "Fang Heng, do you know what the happiest thing is in my life?"


    Fang Heng was at a loss when he saw her astonishingly beautiful phoenix eyes. He also didn''t know what was going on with himself. Seeing her putting her life on the line in order to protect Fang Yu, he actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.


    Ling Shuang spoke word by word, "The thing that I am most glad of in this life is that I have met Fang Yu after I broke the engagement with you."


    Fang Heng''s face changed, his body could not help but stagger a few steps, the expression on his face was filled with anger, surprise, and shame had twisted into an extremely wonderful look.


    "Ling Shuang, you will regret this!" Fang Heng clenched her teeth and left East Garden, she walked to the door and angrily told the servants on her left and right: "Watch carefully, don''t let anyone in and out."


    An elegant voice could be heard clearly from the pavilion.


    "Is the eldest young master old and frail? Why is your memory so bad? Just now, my mother told me that it was only allowed to enter. "


    Fang Heng''s body trembled again as he walked out in a flustered and exasperated manner.


    Cha Zi and Yan Hong hurriedly rushed in front of Ling Shuang, extremely anxious. This matter was simply too unprepared, Mrs Fang''s move was truly ruthless.


    "Miss, what should we do now?"


    Ling Shuang slowly put the Imperial Sword back into its scabbard. Her phoenix eyes actually flashed with a cold radiance as her thin lips slightly parted. "Wait!"


    Right now, she could only wait, Mrs Fang would definitely have plans for the next step, she could only wait. If she really wanted to escape, the people from the entire Residence would not be able to stop her. However, she absolutely could not let Fang Yu live with such a burden.


    Ling Shuang was wearing an outer garment as she sat by the window. What she needed the most right now was calm. If she was too flustered and could only give the others an opportunity, she couldn''t panic or panic.


    She ordered Yan Hong to brew a pot of good, silver needle tea and took a light sip.


    Ling Shuang thought, who else could she rely on in the capital?


    Ling Family? He slightly shook his head. Grandmother was already old, she definitely could not let Grandmother be as worried as she was.


    Hu Li? He would definitely help him, but the thing that Emperor hated the most was that some people used the military power in their hands to threaten him.


    Furthermore, Hu Li only relied on the military power in his hands, the imperial guards joining the army and the Ministry of Justice Main Hall was a completely unrelated matter, allowing Hu Li to join at this time would only make the situation worse.


    Who else could it be? Today, the only thing that the Mrs Fang was wary of was the Fructus Caryopteris. If he could find the Fructus Caryopteris, he would be able to find out what kind of evil things the Mrs Fang had done.


    But Auntie Ge only said half of it yesterday, the other half didn''t even have time to say that they were killed at night, how could they investigate?


    She couldn''t help but think of that timid child hiding behind her mother and looking at her from behind, fiercely closing his eyes. She, Ling Shuang, was definitely not a good person. She had killed countless people, but she had never killed an innocent child.


    The more Ling Shuang thought about it, the more she lost track of the situation.


    "Let''s eat in the Second Young Madam," said Zhang Si''s family who was in the kitchen. They were good at cooking, and because Ling Shuang liked eating sweet things, Fang Yu picked a kitchen lady whom he still trusted and placed her in the East Garden to serve him.


    "Put it down!" Ling Shuang nodded her head, the more she was in a situation like this, where she had to eat her fill, in order to have the strength to persevere on.


    Zhang Si Clan was tall and sturdy, but he was slightly fat. Every time he cooked, he would bring the dishes over himself. Sometimes, Ling Shuang would also personally cook her best national dish, Stir-Fried Potato Thread.


    Zhang Mu''s mother carefully brought the steaming hot pumpkin cup in the food box in front of Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang''s appetite was still a little low, she looked at his favorite pumpkin cup, and did not intend to use her chopsticks.


    "Second Young Madam should have eaten while it''s still hot. If it''s cold, it wouldn''t taste good, and this old servant has added a spoonful of honey to the pumpkin cup today. It''s very tasty."


    Ling Shuang''s heart suddenly skipped a beat, her sharp eyes stared straight at the jabbering Zhang Si family.


    How could the panic in the eyes of that woman hide from Ling Shuang, the trump card who had been a secret agent for so many years?


    "Oh?" The corner of Ling Shuang''s lips curled up slightly, and her hand lightly tapped on the blue and white porcelain of the pumpkin cup with a smile that was not a smile: "Is this pumpkin cup really that tasty?"


    "Yes, yes, Second Young Madam, do you want to try it?" For some reason, a layer of sweat appeared on Zhang Si''s forehead.


    "I have always been a compassionate servant. How about I give you the pumpkin cup? "How about it?"


    Zhang Si Clan''s expression changed greatly, however, Ling Shuang pulled them down onto the table, and with his left hand, he raised the pumpkin cup and was about to drink it.


    Unexpectedly, the complexion of Zhang Si Jia Village''s members became ashen, and they trembled as they knelt down, their bodies trembling like sieve chaff as they continuously kowtowed.


    "Who let you harm me?!" In his fury, Ling Shuang slapped the pumpkin cup onto the ground, causing the boiling soup to fly all over Zhang Si''s face.


    She screamed out in pain, but kept on kowtowing.


    "Please spare me, Second Young Madam! Second Young Madam, spare me! It was the Aunt and Young Grandmother who told me to do this. It was the Aunt and Young Grandmother who gave me a hundred silver, saying that after the deal was completed, I would give me another five hundred silver, allowing me to settle down in a courtyard. "


    Ling Shuang never thought that this Ling Wan would actually move so quickly. She had actually used poison again and again.


    "Ha!" Am I only worth this much in the eyes of you bastards? Or are you looking down on people too much? "


    Ling Shuang kicked Zhang Si Clan''s people to the ground and stepped on her body. Her eyes were already filled with killing intent, but she still endured it with all her might.


    Ling Wan was indeed her good sister, sending people to poison him. If she really died from the poison, she would be satisfied. If she didn''t die from the poison, she could also make use of this opportunity to cause a ruckus if she attacked and killed someone in a fit of rage.


    Now that Fang Yu was in trouble, it would be very inappropriate for him to be caught red-handed.


    "You also know that I, Ling Shuang, am also a person who has countless of bloodstains on my palms. I am different from those dainty and dainty rich families. If I kill you, I will absolutely not let you die a happy death," Ling Shuang received the dagger that Yan Hong passed to him, and lightly backhanded the blade.

 C34

    "AHH!" Zhang Si family''s people were about to scream out, but were blocked by Cha Zi''s silk cloth in front of their mouths, and their inner thighs were cut by Ling Shuang''s hands and feet, it was extremely painful, but they were unable to shout out.


    Ling Shuang squatted down and looked at the bloodstains on the dagger as she said coldly, "I know which part of a person''s body is the most painful. Do you want to try it?"


    "Wuwuwu ¡­" Zhang Si''s clan of four finally saw what a true demon was. Struggling to get up, they continuously kowtowed and begged for mercy.


    "When Ling Wan saw you recently, who was there? What did you say? "


    Zhang Si Jia''s eyes flashed, it was clear that he was still hiding something. However, he did not expect that he would be stabbed in the armpit again. The pain was excruciating. If he didn''t say it, this woman was going to beat him to death!


    "Wuwuwu ¡­" Zhang Si Clan''s kowtow was like hitting garlic, the hand that Ling Shuang used to pick her up gently lifted, causing her middle finger to drop to the ground with blood.


    knew that the fire was about to burn out, in the end, he was still a rich woman in the house, his bones were not strong enough, if he continued to torture him, he would not be able to get a word out.


    She indicated for Yan Hong to take out the silk from the woman''s mouth.


    "Second Young Madam... Please spare my life! "


    "Speak!" Who else have you seen at Ling Wan''s place recently? Is there anyone special, or should it be someone who shouldn''t be in the inner chamber? "


    Ling Shuang knew that in this Inner Palace, if she wanted to survive, she would need to have several of her most trusted aides, and Ling Wan was no exception.


    "When Aunt and Young Grandmother called this old servant over, he was sitting next to me ¡­ Sitting on the Eldest Miss ¡­ "


    Sure enough, Ling Shuang sneered, thinking that this Fang Yue was really a weirdo, how did she offend her? Framing her time and time again?


    "No one else?" Ling Shuang played with the dagger in her hand.


    "Also ¡­" "And ¡­"


    "Speak!"


    said that as long as this old servant completed his task, Chen Yuan would bring this old servant along and leave Fang Family. "


    Ling Shuang''s heart skipped a beat. Although Chen Yuan was the young master''s follower, he would not casually go into a woman''s inner chamber. She used this chance to gradually think. Maybe Chen Yuan still had a lot of value that he could use, but since they were all trapped here, he naturally could not send Cha Zi and Yan Hong to investigate this Chen Yuan.


    Thinking about it, Ling Shuang could not help but regret, if she had known that it would be so troublesome, she would have picked a few people from the Fang Residence to nurture him. Now, seeing that there was no one in the Residence that could use them, Mrs Fang''s claws and fangs were spread all over the entire residence.


    When she first came to the Fang Palace, she had only promised Fang Yu half a year''s worth of time.


    "Scram!" If you can''t even cook a pumpkin cup properly, then what does laozi want you bunch of trash to do? " Ling Shuang suddenly shouted at Yan Hong to drag Zhang Si''s family out, causing the maidservant''s servants to become stupefied.


    It was obvious that Second Young Madam was not in a good mood today, to actually be able to torture Zhang Si family to such a state in a short amount of time.


    "Listen up, Second Young Madam is not in a good mood to see you two getting in her way, get out of East Garden!"


    Those people did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly ran out.


    Cha Zi looked at Ling Shuang who was standing in front of the window, deep in thought: "Young miss, this ¡­"


    Ling Shuang exhaled: "Since I can''t judge their character, then I might as well have all of them scram! It''s a good thing that the East Garden is peaceful and quiet, but it''s also impossible for the people outside to plant someone who has ulterior motives. "


    Cha Zi understood what Ling Shuang meant. Currently, the matters of the Young Master were already in a mess, if there was some sort of traitor, they would not be able to deal with it.


    "Miss! What if Mrs Fang sends more people over? "


    Ling Shuang sneered: "Didn''t she say you can''t enter? From now on, there are only three of us in East Garden, whoever dares to come close, beat them out! Remember to beat him half to death! "


    Cha Zi heavily nodded her head. After following Eldest Miss to this point, Fang Family had long been feeling very stifled, so the requirement of beating him half to death was completely achievable.


    "Miss, we''ve chased them away. There''s still a jar of rice, half a jar of noodles, a jar of master''s favorite pickled cucumber, and several bags of vegetables. It''s enough for us to eat for more than ten days."


    Yan Hong was quick to do things, her mind was extremely sharp, and she nodded her head in satisfaction.


    "Yan Hong, come here for a moment," Ling Shuang passed a stack of note with a strange pattern on them to her, and also passed the silver bills that Fang Yu had previously given her to Yan Hong, "Bring this person who brought you out to find a way to contact the wind and rain tower, and have them make it according to this blueprint. She must do it as soon as possible."


    "Miss?" Yan Hong''s eyes reddened, "I can''t leave, what if they find trouble with you again?"


    "Yan Hong, Cha Zi will stay here with me and nothing will happen to me. I need these things urgently, and the outside world is much more dangerous than the inside of the mansion. You should go to the Master Dean Jing Zhao Yin and spread the news about the Young Master, it would be best if the matter could not be resolved by the inner chambers of the Fang Family. "


    Ling Shuang slightly paused for a bit before continuing, "Help me return to Ling Family. Ling Family is the only one who knows about this matter, you can only tell second brother that I am very safe here. After that, you can stay in Ling Family. It will be safe there. No matter how arrogant they are, they will not make a move against Ling Family. "


    Yan Hong knew that Ling Shuang must have had some important things to do with these things, so she decided to put it aside and asked, "Miss, after you''ve finished preparing these items, how do I take them into the Fang Residence?"


    Ling Shuang was truly glad that Ling Shuang was able to make such an impressive friend like Gu Xiao Yun. She smiled faintly: "If the people from wind and rain tower aren''t Rice Bucket, they will definitely think of a way."


    Yan Hong took the drawing and put away the dagger that Ling Shuang had given her. When she was in the army, she often helped Ling Shuang investigate the enemy''s situation.


    Ling Shuang finally felt a little tired, and until now, there was no new news, so she reckoned that Fang Yu had been sent to the government. As long as they were not in the Fang Residence, the Mrs Fang could not execute Fang Yu in secret with a single hand.


    She was finally unable to hold on any longer and laid on the pillow, preparing to take a nap. Cha Zi heartbroken as she pulled the embroidered bed over her body, she picked up the sword she used to defend herself and walked out to guard.


    Ling Shuang slept for about half an incense''s time when she suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from the East District''s gate, and was startled awake. She had only been sleeping lightly, and now that her mind was filled with thoughts, how could she possibly sleep?


    "Cha Zi! "What''s going on outside?"


    "Miss," Cha Zi''s face carried a hint of joy, "It''s Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun that''s here. He''s fighting with the Fang Residence''s servant, saying that he''s going to bring Miss out."


    Hearing that, Ling Shuang knew that it was not good, this cunning fox was probably going to cause trouble.

 C35

    Fang Yu''s matter had already shaken the entire capital. A terrifying murder, as well as a heinous crime had occurred in the Fang Family.


    Hu Li was about to go crazy when he heard this news. Could that damned Fang Yu not suffer as much as he suffered alongside him?


    He could no longer sit still. As long as it was something related to Ling Shuang, he would uncontrollably become agitated.


    This time, Hu Li brought a guard with a strong martial arts background and rushed into the Fang Family, straight towards the East Garden. His youngest son died so miserably, his second son was actually caught red-handed. Originally, he wanted to follow the rules of the clan, but he did not expect the people from Ministry of Justice to personally come and take Fang Yu away.


    In the end, even the Emperor was enraged and called him over to slap his face and scold him. From then on, the face of the Fang Family was swept across the floor. Just as he was about to clear up all of these shocking matters, he did not expect that the Hu Family would lead soldiers to break into his Fang Family''s inner chamber.


    Bastard! When did his Fang Family become a market? If he wanted to come and leave as he pleased, he could leave as he pleased. Could it be that a young boy who hadn''t even grown all his hair was going to move on the head of the Prime Minister?


    When he rushed to the East Garden, Hu Li was led by a group of servants who surrounded them.


    "Hu Li! Aren''t you being too arrogant? " Fang Xiu Wen dispersed the crowd and stood in front of Hu Li. His face was ashen, and he wished that he could slap him across the face, but in the end, he still did not dare order his men to cripple the Hu Family.


    Hu Li was just feeling extremely anxious, he did not know how Ling Shuang was doing right now. He forced himself to calm down and said in a panicked voice: "General Ling has suffered such injustice, why did you lock her up?"


    Fang Xiu Wen was so angry that he started laughing, "General Ling? Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun, what do you mean by that? Ling Shuang was not a general for a long time, could it be that the Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun is questioning the intentions of the Emperor? "


    Hu Li was secretly surprised, but he quickly changed the topic, "Although Ling Shuang is not a general, we brothers have lived and died with her for so many years, so she is the General Ling in our hearts. Today, my brothers wanted me to take her away from here. "


    "Hehehe ¡­" Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun seems to have forgotten that she is now my Fang Family''s daughter-in-law. Whether she lives or dies, what does it have to do with your Hu family? I''ll go ask His Majesty to uphold justice right now. Aren''t you, a member of the Hu family, being too much of a bully in my Fang Family''s inner chamber? "


    "Then why don''t you put all the crimes that you don''t know onto Ling Shuang''s head and put her under house arrest?!" Hu Li roared back, with the sharpness of a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.


    On the other hand, Fang Xiu Wen was intimidated by him, so he ordered someone to take a paper in hand and said coldly: "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun, have you seen it clearly? This letter was issued by the Ministry of Justice, and was approved by the Emperor. Ling Shuang had suspected that Seventh Madame of Fang Family was a concubine who was killed, but due to his identity as Princess Ling Shuang, he was not taking his into custody for now. Special orders Ling Shuang to stay in the Fang Family''s Inner Mansion and not move, so that he can contact the Ministry of Justice at any time. "


    "Does Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun understand?" Fang Xiu Wen pointed at the document written by the Ministry of Justice and looked coldly at the somewhat defeated Hu Li. "I will definitely face His Majesty with the matter of humiliating him today. Please give me justice, Your Majesty!"


    Hu Li''s vision darkened. He knew that if Ling Shuang stayed in Fang Family for one more day, the danger would be increased, but he had never been so powerless before. Seeing his beloved suffer so much without being able to muster the slightest bit of strength left him exhausted from the dull pain.


    "Hu Li!" Ling Shuang''s clear and beautiful voice came from the entrance of the Eastern Courtyard.


    Hu Li was overjoyed as he suddenly turned around to look at Ling Shuang. Just as he was about to take a few steps forward, Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes pierced towards him in warning.


    He instantly realized something and couldn''t help but feel ashamed. He had rushed over without a care for the consequences, yet it had still turned out to be worse.


    When Ling Shuang saw Hu Li''s haggard face, she suddenly showed an expression of understanding. Although it was very heavy, she knew that this guy knew the severity of the danger.


    "Hu Jun Jun Jun Jun, thank you brothers for your kindness. Although Ling Shuang is unable to move freely, the sun and moon are bright and clear. I believe that Ministry of Justice will soon give me justice and Fang Yu justice."


    She then turned around and looked at Fang Xiu Wen who was covered in dust. She knew that his days were not going well. Although she really didn''t have a good impression of Fang Yu, her father, but he was still Fang Yu''s father.


    "Father," Ling Shuang secretly sighed, but still bowed respectfully and said, "Fang Yu was wronged, I hope father can understand. tortoise shell is father''s son, and Fang Yu is also father''s son! Seventh Madame died, but I hope Father doesn''t forget how Fang Yu''s mother, the Aunt Chun, died! "


    Fang Xiu Wen didn''t think that she would actually mention the Aunt Chun, and her face instantly lost all color. It was terrifyingly white, and she was stunned for a long time, as if her soul had left her body.


    "Someone come!" , please leave! " Only after a long while did Fang Xiu Wen remember something, and he pointed at Hu Li in disgust.


    Seeing that Ling Shuang was unharmed and abnormally calm, Hu Li could not help but be relieved and slowly leave.


    She suddenly turned around to see Fang Yue, who had walked over at an unknown time. Wearing a jade-green pleated skirt, with his hair tied up in a bun, he did not put on makeup and appeared to be in a daze.


    Ling Shuang looked at her indifferently, ignoring her, as she did not have time to bother with her now.


    "Halt!" Why did Fang Yue sound like he was about to cry?


    Ling Shuang turned around and looked at Fang Yue coldly, "What do you want to say? I don''t have the leisure to bicker with you. "


    This time, Fang Family and the Hu family were at odds. In the future, it would be even harder for his to marry Hu Li. She really hated this woman to death.


    "Fang Yue," Ling Shuang was truly speechless, could this slut be a little more sane? "Even without me, Hu Li would not like a girl like you who has bones that are so ruthless while acting like this. I''ll have to trouble you not to learn from Ling Wan in the future, reflect on yourself when you have the time. "

 C36

    "Stop right there!" I''m going to tear that face of yours apart! " How could Fang Yue bear such contemptuous words? He rushed over, but was pushed away by Ling Shuang with a slap, and fell to the ground.


    "Eldest Miss," a servant by Fang Yue''s side hurriedly helped her up, but he was ruthlessly slapped twice.


    Fang Yue was so angry that his body trembled as he pointed at Ling Shuang''s nose and said, "Ling Shuang, just you wait! If I, Fang Yue, cannot tear your corpse into a thousand pieces, then my surname will not be Fang! "


    Ling Shuang smiled indifferently: "Then you had better change your name!"


    "Ling Shuang! I won''t let you off! " Fang Yue was enraged.


    Ling Shuang no longer paid any attention to her as she turned around and walked towards the Warm Pavilion.


    "Miss?" Cha Zi thought that her heart was feeling sad, and was just about to console her when a look of ecstasy appeared in her eyes.


    "Miss, what''s wrong?" Cha Zi thought that Ling Shuang had provoked the devil and her voice was filled with a trembling sob.


    "I''m fine, I''m fine." Ling Shuang just felt that the plan she had thought of a moment ago would definitely succeed. Hehe, she suddenly felt that she was actually very despicable too!


    "Miss, have you thought of a way?" Cha Zi''s face also lit up.


    "Shh!" This could not be revealed! I have to think about what to do. " Ling Shuang''s lips curled up into a smile as she quickly walked into the pavilion.


    Ling Shuang stared at the snow white note in front of him, nervously devising a plan in her mind, if that Gu Xiao Yun was really that amazing. She should be able to send in the things that the wind and rain tower had made tomorrow night. Right now, the thing she wanted to do the most was to meet Fang Yu.


    Was he tortured? Was there a fight going on? Did anyone look at his maddeningly jealous face and try to disfigure him?


    A teardrop fell down, dying the note in front of Ling Shuang.


    Startled, she lifted her hand to wipe her face. The wetness felt like spring rain in March.


    She was crying? For a man? God! This was too crazy, Ling Shuang ruthlessly rubbed his face, and fell on the bed with his limbs folded. She needed a good night''s sleep, after some sleep, she might have the strength to continue fighting.


    This time, he slept soundly. When Ling Shuang woke up, he felt refreshed. In the afternoon, Cha Zi went to the kitchen and cooked some rice porridge along with a few other vegetables. Ling Shuang wolfed down her food.


    Cha Zi could not help but admire her greatly. If Eldest Miss was really a man, then she would definitely be a tyrant in this world. Perhaps all the girls in the capital would want to marry her.


    She could not help but smile wryly, what was she thinking?


    Just as the master and servant finished their meal, they heard the door being pushed open fiercely. Two Ministry of Justice constables walked in.


    "Clean up, the main person is here," Ling Shuang said as she looked away from the window, her expression extremely calm.


    The two policemen were well-mannered. After stopping outside the Warm Pavilion, they stopped and bowed: "Master Xiao has ordered for Princess Anping to go to Ministry of Justice!"


    Ling Shuang was really looking forward to see Fang Yu this way.


    "Good!" Please wait a moment! " Ling Shuang handed the Imperial Sword over to Cha Zi, this treasure sword was definitely not allowed to be brought into the Ministry of Justice, she had some common sense.


    Cha Zi looked anxious: "Miss, be careful!"


    "Hm!" I know! During the time I''m not here, you have to properly watch over all the random people in East Garden and not allow them to sneak in. "


    "Yes," Cha Zi nodded her head as she smoothed the corners of the tight clothes that Ling Shuang was wearing.


    She followed two attendants with sabers out of the Fang Residence''s main entrance. However, she saw a rather gorgeous horse carriage parked outside.


    Fortunately, she still had the short sword she had ordered people to forge hidden in her sleeve. It was made completely in accordance with the style of the Swiss Army knife. This time, she was obediently lying inside the belt on the outside of her thigh. Previously, when she was a secret service agent, she liked to place a silencer in that position.


    The two men looked somewhat embarrassed as they lowered their voices and said, "Princess Anping, please get on the carriage!"


    Ling Shuang was shocked, these two people were truly powerful experts. This time, she was only able to slightly release a bit of pressure, causing Ling Shuang to feel a cold pressure.


    A true expert would definitely be able to freely control and release his inner strength. He would even be no different from an ordinary person.


    Ling Shuang calculated in her heart, if she fought against him, she would barely be able to fight one of them. If both of them attacked at the same time, she really didn''t have the confidence to win.


    In the capital, who would have the strength to take out the documents of the Ministry of Justice interrogating suspects? With the Ministry of Justice''s identity, who could still afford to use such a top-notch expert?


    Generally, the higher level an expert was, the less gold and silver they would be moved by, unless they were able to give them something they truly wanted.


    Ling Shuang took a deep breath. Even if she did not enter the horse carriage, she would have been knocked out.


    "Sorry for the trouble!" Ling Shuang lifted the curtain with a cold smile and lightly sat down.


    The two of them obviously did not expect Ling Shuang to be so relaxed and at ease, but they were at a loss as to what to do.


    "Apologies!" One of them reached out and covered Ling Shuang''s eyes with a black cloth.


    "How troublesome!" Ling Shuang did not react, but her ears started to be alert, and her heart started to silently count the time of her pulse.


    In the past, when he was doing secret service, he was locked in a room by himself. This was the way to remember, to relieve the boredom caused by the lack of time.


    The carriage soon started to move. Ling Shuang was breathing evenly, and every sound along the way was carefully recorded by her. The cries of different vendors and the special voices of vendors could be heard everywhere. The degree of the bumpiness could be calculated. After about half an incense''s time, the carriage finally stopped.


    Ling Shuang followed the footsteps of the person in front of him and walked along a long cobblestone path. The smell of jasmine was all around him and there was even a large patch of jasmine flowers mixed with the clear scent of wormwood.


    After circling around once, they finally stopped and left after whispering a few words to each other.


    The surroundings were completely silent. A series of light footsteps came over, and stopped in front of Ling Shuang.


    An ice-cold fingertip swept past Ling Shuang''s face. Just as she was about to move, the acupoints on her body had just been pressed by the two men, causing her to be unable to raise both her arms.


    Who knew that the ice-cold fingertip would become even more gentle, caressing her lips along her cheek, stroking it tirelessly. Ling Shuang felt a chill in his heart.


    Had he brought her here to deal with her lips? A burst of suppressed rapid breathing spurted onto Ling Shuang''s face, and a strange pressure slowly pressed on.


    Ling Shuang subconsciously dodged in shock, but her scalding lips pressed against the side of her face. She suddenly felt extremely disgusted. So this bastard wanted to kiss her?

 C37

    "A warrior can be killed but not humiliated! Who are you! If you cannot kill me, Ling Shuang, then I will definitely take revenge for today''s disgrace! " Ling Shuang gasped for breath and said angrily.


    This feeling was extremely uncomfortable. It made her feel disgusted and disgusted, as if she wanted to kill someone. It was also the first time he lost his calm due to his insanity. No matter who this person was, he had to show him who it was.


    With a tug on the black cloth belt in front of his eyes, Ling Shuang sucked in a breath of air as he looked at the man in front of him.


    It was actually Crown Prince Long Chen Yi?!


    "Long Chen Yi, what do you mean?" Ling Shuang said coldly.


    Long Chen Yi looked at Ling Shuang who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws like an enraged kitten. Even he himself did not know that the doting in his eyes was already completely exposed.


    From the first time they had met in royal father''s Hall of Heart''s Rest to the first glimpse they had of the Mansion of the Duke of Chen''s residence, Long Chen Yi had never thought that he himself would actually have feelings for women.


    Crown Prince''s Consort was a marriage arranged by her father, for the sake of a strong family alliance. The other women had all appeared in his life and passed away.


    However, this woman before him, regardless of whether it was cold, intense, or gorgeous, she had left a heavy mark in his heart.


    He, Long Chen Yi, the storage monarch of the Great Yan Dynasty, the future emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, really didn''t need to be moved by a woman who had already married into a family. But he was truly moved.


    Ling Shuang stared coldly at the deep meaning in Long Chen Yi''s eyes, and started to panic. After all, he was the owner of the Great Yan Dynasty and he couldn''t kill the other party. Otherwise, it would bring about a calamity to the entire Ling Family.


    Assassinating the crown prince, not to mention the nine familial extermination, even ten clans were possible.


    "Ling Shuang." Long Chen Yi looked at the pair of phoenix eyes that caused his mind to wander.


    "Long Chen Yi, if you let me go, I''ll pretend that nothing happened today." This was Ling Shuang''s last concession.


    Long Chen Yi''s face looked unsettled, he then sighed: "Why so bitter?"


    What did this bastard mean? Ling Shuang forced herself to calm down and look around him. Other than the jasmine flowers that filled the sky, there were no other special signs.


    "Come over and sit!" As Long Chen Yi held Ling Shuang''s hand, Ling Shuang looked like she was being coiled up by a poisonous snake. She took a deep breath and tried to open the sealed acupoints in her body.


    "Shuang Er, are you trying to stall for time?" Long Chen Yi raised his brows slightly, the noble and handsome aura he gave off, in Ling Shuang''s eyes, carried a trace of a cold aura.


    Her mind shook, but she staggered a little, and suddenly fell forward, falling into Long Chen Yi''s embrace in the blink of an eye. The taste of the Dragon''s Saliva was like a venom that had entered his intestines, Ling Shuang gritted his teeth in hatred.


    Those two damned attendants had used some other method to tap his acupoints, and apart from the slight movement of his legs, he looked like a zombie.


    Long Chen Yi picked her up.


    "Long Chen Yi, don''t go too far. When this daddy can move again, I''ll definitely teach you a lesson!" Ling Shuang''s face was pale and she trembled in anger.


    "Ha!" Long Chen Yi chuckled as he carried her and slowly walked into the pavilion in the center. The pavilion was still extremely luxurious, and each item was extremely expensive.


    He placed Ling Shuang on top of the snow-white mat, and when he saw Ling Shuang''s other extremely embarrassed and angry exquisite expression, he immediately became happy.


    "This jasmine tea used the first petals of a new flower, collected with the first drop of dew from the jasmine of early spring. It was then boiled, will you try it?"


    Ling Shuang slowly closed her eyes. Damn it, she was currently burning her eyebrows in flames, Fang Yu''s life and death was unknown, but this funny fellow was actually telling her about jasmine tea?


    "And this thousand layer cake, it was made by the imperial chefs, do you want to eat it? I know you love dessert! Isn''t it? "


    thousand layer cake? I hate you! Ling Shuang felt like his entire body was twitching, he almost went berserk and quickly calmed his mind. As the inner strength slowly flowed through his meridians, the acupoints on his left arm seemed to have loosened a bit.


    Long Chen Yi saw that Ling Shuang''s face was expressionless as she closed her eyes, as if everything he did had nothing to do with her. When had he, Long Chen Yi, been so humble to a woman before?


    He grabbed Ling Shuang''s arm, looked at her clear and bright eyebrows slightly raised, and his grip relaxed a little. He sighed and said, "If I didn''t investigate your background thoroughly, I wouldn''t have invited you here."


    "I deeply regret the way Your Highness invited someone," Ling Shuang faintly opened his phoenix eyes, but carefully hid his internal energy. He spoke a few more words with this bastard who was throwing a tantrum, and tried to stall for time to free his right arm.


    When Long Chen Yi saw that she was finally willing to speak with him, a hint of pleasant surprise flashed across his face, and after that, he wore a noble and handsome look, and said with a slight smile: "Ling Shuang, you can hide it from others, but not me."


    Ling Shuang raised her brows and suppressed the panic in her heart.


    "The difference between me and His Highness is like heaven and earth, like cloud and mud, like heaven and earth, there is no connection at all, how could I possibly hide this from you?" Ling Shuang felt disgust towards this Long Chen Yi, and only hoped that he would be defeated and killed by that Third Prince.


    Long Chen Yi didn''t mind Ling Shuang''s ridicule in the slightest as he laughed slowly: "Miss Ling is too modest, the moment I saw this one, I was shocked by Miss Ling''s myriad of emotions.


    "Shameless!" Ling Shuang did not dare to curse, and used her Qi to attack her acupuncture points.


    Long Chen Yi looked at Ling Shuang''s still expressionless face with a little bit of frustration: "Miss Ling, you and Fang Yu, are you two acting?"


    Ling Shuang suddenly looked over: "What does Your Highness mean?"


    "Hehe!" We''re already husband and wife, why should we sleep separately? "


    She carefully thought back to the details of the East Garden. Needless to say, the maidservant s who had served her had leaked the news. Actually, none of this was important. The most important thing was, what was this noble hooligan trying to do?


    The scrutinizing look in Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes had a hint of fear that made it difficult for Long Chen Yi to suppress his originally adoring heart, as he leaned over and approached Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang subconsciously moved backwards, she could not help but feel joy in his right hand, she slowly extended his hand towards the dagger and did not expect her entire body to sink.


    She hurriedly looked up only to discover that her entire body was being held back by Long Chen Yi''s outstretched arms. Long Chen Yi''s face that seemed to deserve a beating was already very close to her.


    "Long Chen Yi!"


    "Promise me."


    What? Ling Shuang was stunned.


    "With regards to the position of Crown Prince''s Concubine, I am so sorry that I cannot agree to it with you. If you promise me, Ling Family is either rich or noble. Even Fang Yu... " Long Chen Yi struggled a bit, "I will give you face and let him go, I have the authority to choose the local officials. He can choose however he wants."

 C38

    "As long as you agree, I will immediately order the Ministry of Justice to release him. I will settle this case for you. Ling Shuang, think about it? "


    Long Chen Yi did not expect Ling Shuang to say that, and could not help but be taken aback. When a girl from an ordinary family heard of such generous conditions, she would definitely agree. The first of the four concubines, when she became the emperor, she would have the status of a imperial concubine. How dare you reject him?!


    Ling Shuang coldly looked at the somewhat angry Long Chen Yi, and the air became a little heavy in an instant.


    Long Chen Yi''s patience seemed to be running out, he suddenly took a deep breath and said: "Fine! I know that you are such a prideful woman, but the matter of Crown Prince Concubine changing his will involve too many people, please let me have some time. "


    A thousand f * cking mud horses flashed past Ling Shuang''s mind. Did this idiot really want her to become the Crown Prince''s concubine?


    "However, once I become an Emperor, I will be a cripple and stand side by side with you as my successor! As the king in charge of a nation, I will never tease you, these are the true words from the bottom of my heart, "Long Chen Yi said as he looked at Ling Shuang with a serious look in his eyes.


    "I''m sorry!" I''m leaving! " Ling Shuang suddenly used his strength and slapped Long Chen Yi away, but kept his strength, if he died from Ling Shuang''s palm strike, Ling Family would be finished.


    "Ling Shuang!" Long Chen Yi reprimanded! In the end, he still underestimated Ling Shuang, and did not expect her to break through her own acupoints and push him away.


    The Crown Prince who had always been graceful and elegant actually tumbled to the ground in a sorry state, which made him very angry.


    "Someone, come!" The bloodthirsty ruthlessness in Long Chen Yi''s eyes finally broke through his usually gentle and refined appearance, and became dark and cruel.


    Ling Shuang thought that this was bad, she had just opened her acupoints and her body was still feeling a little weak. Unexpectedly, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared from within her jasmine flowers and surrounded her.


    "Tie her up, don''t hurt her!" Long Chen Yi looked at Ling Shuang''s pinkish lips that were pursed tightly. Damn it, liking someone isn''t good at all.


    The moment Ling Shuang fought with these people, she saw a familiar face. It was Long Chen Yi, her subordinate. She didn''t expect a follower to be so good at kung fu, she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.


    The moment Ling Shuang fought with these people, she knew that she was going to lose. She didn''t know where Long Chen Yi had gotten so many perverted bird people whose fighting prowess were so high.


    Fortunately, those people didn''t dare to hurt her, and the dagger in her hand played a crucial role. For a moment, both sides were stuck.


    "Miss Ling! You can''t run away, you better obediently surrender! " Qian Shan did not dare to hurt this woman.


    Just as he finished speaking, he did not expect Ling Shuang to suddenly use his sword to parry, and jumped out of the circle with his hand, straight at Long Chen Yi.


    Ling Shuang coldly looked at Qian Shan and the others who were surrounding him: "Let me out, or else I''ll kill your master."


    "Miss Ling, how dare you!" Qian Shan was shocked, who would have thought that this woman would actually play unconventional cards, and be so bold to the point of shocking the world.


    "Laozi was originally very brave, I don''t need you to repeat myself!"


    "Hehe!" "Miss Ling is really a emotional person," Long Chen Yi suddenly thought that Ling Shuang was very interesting.


    "The captives are not allowed to speak! "Shut up!" Ling Shuang''s forehead was covered in perspiration, it would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, but her blade was placed on Long Chen Yi''s neck.


    "All of you, step down!" Long Chen Yi was still as calm as ever.


    "Your Highness?" Qian Shan did not dare to retreat! This is the precious son of the Emperor!


    "Scram!" Long Chen Yi''s elegant face flashed with a stern look, and they instantly retreated into the jasmine bush.


    Long Chen Yi slowly turned around, but Ling Shuang did not dare to hurt him. She had no choice but to turn the blade on the ground, and cut off the collar of Long Chen Yi''s collar, which was embroidered with bamboo.


    "Long Chen Yi! Let them send me out! I''ll say it again! "


    "Ling Shuang, you really dare to stab down?" Long Chen Yi''s gaze was filled with ridicule, but his large figure still covered him, casting a shadow in front of Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang knew that if she was alone, she would definitely kill this Flower Crown Prince.


    Long Chen Yi''s lips curled up into a smile that could not be understood, and when he saw Ling Shuang''s slightly flushed face due to the fight just now, he slowly raised his hand to caress Ling Shuang''s face.


    "Be honest!" Ling Shuang thrust his dagger forward, yet it still did not move the slightest bit against Long Chen Yi.


    His deep eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke with an indescribably deep tone. The winding magnetic voice gave people goosebumps no matter how they listened to it.


    "Shuang Er, you won''t dare," The deep look in Long Chen Yi''s eyes had turned into viciousness as he said slowly, "The lives of several hundred people in Ling Family, do I not believe that you are so heartless?"


    "Long Chen Yi..." Ling Shuang gnashed her teeth, wishing that she could bite off more than one word.


    "Oh, your nephew is six years old, right? Having a puppy is pretty cute, isn''t it? "If they were to die in the wilderness with their heads separated ¡­"


    "Shut up!" A hint of viciousness flashed through Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes.


    Long Chen Yi smiled slightly, "Ling Shuang, I''m determined to win. You can''t attack me at all, but I will keep you by my side forever, even if I have to break your wings! "


    Ling Shuang''s body suddenly trembled, she raised her eyes to look at Long Chen Yi''s pleased face, he was actually extremely handsome, but his heart was broken.


    Wait! Ling Shuang stared intently at Long Chen Yi''s handsome and elegant face. However, the higher one''s rank was, the more things one would care about.


    He had already offended him today, so no matter what, it was his fault. Thus, he decided not to do it.


    She suddenly struck back with her hand and pierced through the big acupoints on Long Chen Yi''s body.


    Long Chen Yi was stunned, was this fellow really so brave that he wanted to kill him? Before he could even spit the words in his throat, his entire body went limp on Ling Shuang''s shoulder, and even his mute acupoint had been pointed.


    Although Ling Shuang was not as strong as those experts outside, she did not care about Long Chen Yi''s useless, weak techniques.


    "Are you a pig? Why is it so heavy? " Ling Shuang scolded and dragged Long Chen Yi, who didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, into the exquisite pavilion constructed amidst the jasmine flowers.


    Ling Shuang roughly threw Long Chen Yi onto the soft couch, turned around to look, and sure enough, she saw note s from Mo Xuan and pen and ink from Yun Prefecture on the table.


    She grabbed the note and frowned as she looked at the brush and ink. She raised her hand and took out the sachet that was half done and drew a line on the note. It was still not bad and good to use.


    Long Chen Yi, who was laying on the bed in a strange posture watched Ling Shuang, who was smirking sinisterly as she slowly walked over holding a sachet in her hand. This was the first time a crack had appeared on his usually calm and handsome face.


    "Good girl!" Ling Shuang''s laughter was even more terrifying than before, but she still bent his body and began to play with Long Chen Yi''s slender body.

 C39

    Ling Shuang suddenly started to take off Long Chen Yi''s clothes, causing his eyes to widen with a look of disbelief. In all of Great Yan Dynasty, there had never been a woman who dared to treat him like this, but the feeling of Ling Shuang''s delicate hand accidentally brushing against his skin made his heart beat even faster.


    Very quickly, Ling Shuang took off his outer clothes. Long Chen Yi was actually a little excited, could it be that this woman was crazy, and wanted to spend the night with him?


    "Look again, I''ll dig out those eyes of yours that are filled with love!" Ling Shuang really couldn''t stand this kind of man, wasn''t it just his clothes being taken off? Did he have to look at her so pitifully? Great! You are also the dignified Great Yan Dynasty. Can''t you be more serious?


    On the other hand, Long Chen Yi was staring at her with interest, but Ling Shuang did not stop there and instead took off his clothes one by one. Long Chen Yi''s face was a little pale, with a bit of blood red.


    "Nice figure!" Ling Shuang looked with interest at Long Chen Yi''s strong and naked waist, his hands under his chin as if he was admiring a work of art.


    This time, Long Chen Yi no longer had any feelings for her.


    Ling Shuang''s slender hand reached towards Long Chen Yi''s waist, "Do you want to take it all off?"


    Long Chen Yi could not say a word, but was already begging for help.


    Ling Shuang couldn''t help but nod her head as she looked at his honey colored figure: "I still feel that it''s better to be completely naked. I didn''t expect your pectoral muscles to be practiced so well, I''m counting this place, one, two, three, four ¡­ It''s a pity that I only managed to cultivate six abs. It''s not perfect enough. "


    Long Chen Yi wanted to use his eyes to kill this bastard Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang lifted her hand to feel the plum blossom shaped red mole on Long Chen Yi''s waist.


    Long Chen Yi hated that he couldn''t immediately faint, for the first time he regretted fighting head on with this woman.


    "Wow!" Ling Shuang turned Long Chen Yi''s body over and faced the curtain, "The birthmark on your butt is so cute, it''s actually a beautiful little snake, just that the color is a little too light."


    Long Chen Yi''s throat hissed. It''s a dragon, a dragon! Not a snake, you dead woman! This was so infuriating! Could he die first?


    "Hmm, on the front, and on the back, all three hundred and sixty degrees of panoramic view with no dead angle drawing, stereogram, direct view diagram, plan diagram ¡­" Ling Shuang muttered as she turned Long Chen Yi into different angles and postures. The half piece of sachet in her hand was sketched on the note.


    Long Chen Yi''s eyes were filled with extreme grief and indignation. Very good! How dare they provoke him? Ling Shuang, are you ready to die?


    "Don''t be cynical, calm down a bit, OK?"


    What is Aoko? Long Chen Yi frowned, could it be that the little girl had learnt something from the Pandas?


    Ling Shuang drew as many as three, and in the end, her gaze landed on the middle of his waist, and looked at the most important place wrapped in a layer of Su Jin.


    Long Chen Yi''s begging eyes became even more intense.


    "Sorry!" You don''t have to be shy either! " Ling Shuang suddenly raised her hand and threw the layer of Su Jin away.


    "Oh my god!" "Such a big scale?"


    Long Chen Yi slowly closed his eyes, feeling as if the entire world had collapsed.


    Not long after, he heard a familiar sound. He felt a cool sensation coming from that crucial point, and he suddenly opened his eyes in shock.


    Originally, Ling Shuang had cut off a bright white peony from the beauties beside him and it blocked his view. This time, Long Chen Yi looked at his own posture.


    Her slender body leaned against the soft couch. A rich peony hung from her waist, and the light from outside the window seeped in. No matter how one looked at it ¡­ Aroma.


    "Another layer of muslin would be perfect," Ling Shuang said as she gently covered Long Chen Yi with a layer of transparent muslin.


    Ling Shuang quickly finished drawing the sketch, and at the same time, she drew another one that was pressed under Long Chen Yi''s pillow. Suddenly, her expression turned solemn, and she stopped teasing him.


    "Long Chen Yi, I, Ling Shuang, am not afraid of those who wear shoes, if we compare face, your Crown Prince''s face is so precious!"


    Long Chen Yi''s eyes were already sore from staring, as he coldly looked at her.


    "Send me out!" Ling Shuang wrote a bunch of sketches in detail. She really had to thank the trainees, the tools were not bad, and the drawing skills were not bad.


    As expected, when Long Chen Yi looked at the lifelike portraits in front of him, he immediately fell into the ice cave.


    Ling Shuang smiled faintly: "Don''t even think about it, even if you found someone to destroy these paintings, I have already completely engraved your body into my brain, hmm?" She nodded her head.


    Long Chen Yi''s face had already turned extremely ashen.


    "Also," Ling Shuang said slowly, "I want Fang Yu to live inside the Ministry of Justice Prison. Otherwise, your elegance might even spread to all the countries of the east! "Hehe!"


    Long Chen Yi''s eyes darkened completely, his pitch black eyes stared straight at Ling Shuang, it was unfathomable.


    Ling Shuang lightly opened his mute acupoint and waited for his reply.


    "Ling Shuang," Long Chen Yi''s voice was hoarse as he looked at Ling Shuang and enunciated each and every word, "There will be a day when I will imprison you within my red silk clothes, causing you to be unable to turn around every night!"


    Long Chen Yi tensed up. He would never be threatened by this woman again if he let her go, but he knew that he had been caught by this rogue girl.


    "Take the Dragon Mark Jade that you just took off, they won''t do anything to you?"


    Ling Shuang finally let out a sigh of relief and looked through the pile of clothes.


    Long Chen Yi saw her pure white neck, and felt a burst of heat. Damn it, why did he want to kill her but not be able to do it?


    "Found it!" Ling Shuang proudly held the jade pendant in her hand, and at the same time, kept the paintings in her bosom.


    When Long Chen Yi saw this scene, he felt extremely uncomfortable.


    "I''m leaving! "Thanks!"


    "Wait!" Long Chen Yi paused for a moment before slowly replying, "Help me put on my clothes."


    Given his current state, it would be better to kill him if his subordinates saw him!


    Ling Shuang laughed: "This lady is only responsible for taking off my clothes, I have no free time!"

 C40

    God take her!


    "Ling Shuang!" Long Chen Yi roared, and the veins on his neck bulged.


    "Alright, alright." Ling Shuang covered him with a blanket, laughed strangely, and said, "I''m a petty person, and you provoked me first.


    Before long, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Long Chen Yi''s face was already that of a ten thousand year old ice mountain.


    "Your Highness!" Qian Shan was the first to rush in, he suddenly froze there, the subordinates behind him did not even know what was happening inside the Profound Pavilion, they all almost fell onto Qian Shan who had frozen in place.


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air when they saw the chaotic scene in the Xuan Pavilion. None of them knew what to do.


    "Scram!" Long Chen Yi bit out one word, his killing intent soaring to the skies.


    Qian Shan led his people and retreated.


    "Qian Shan, get the hell in!"


    Qian Shan secretly complained, what was this master doing? Could it be that he was trying to force himself on the Miss Ling''s Overlord? But should he be happy? But that''s not right, why is the Miss Ling dressed so decently, and Master dressed in such a scene? Still not right!


    He hurriedly rushed in, only to discover that his master''s acupoint had been pierced through? His heart instantly turned pale with fright, could it be that the Miss Ling had pointed out Master''s acupoints and increased Master''s strength? God! It''s really too powerful, as expected of a Great General of the West of the Great Yan Dynasty, unrivalled in terms of strength!


    "Qian Shan, have you lived to the end?" Long Chen Yi saw through Qian Shan''s thoughts.


    "This subordinate would not dare!" Qian Shan quickly and earnestly helped Long Chen Yi to put on his clothes.


    "If today''s matter were to leak out even the slightest bit, you will still have your hidden guards ¡­"


    "This subordinate did not see anything. Master was only taking a nap in the Jasmine Garden."


    Long Chen Yi nodded: "Go out!"


    "Yes sir!" Qian Shan immediately bowed and left.


    Long Chen Yi took out the note that was left behind by Ling Shuang, and looked at the painting with a burning rage in his heart. Just as it was about to tear him apart, it suddenly froze in mid air.


    Then, after looking at it again carefully, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face from the corner of his lips as he put the note back into his arms.


    "Someone, come!"


    "Your Highness," Qian Shan walked in quickly.


    Long Chen Yi paced around the place restlessly before he stopped and said: "Send people to the Ministry of Justice Prison, make them stop for the assassination on Fang Yu immediately."


    "Yes sir!" Qian Shan secretly thought, why did Crown Prince change his mind? Didn''t they say that it would be perfect to send someone to kill Fang Yu in the Ministry of Justice Prison without anyone noticing? Then, they would think of a way to bring Ling Shuang to his side.


    "Also, send someone to the Ministry of Justice Prison to protect Fang Yu secretly. We can''t let him die, but we can''t consider whether he''s injured or not."


    "Yes!" This subordinate will do it! " The more Qian Shan heard, the more surprised he felt. But how could he, a servant, be involved in the matters of the masters?


    "Order people to take care of that dead woman Ling Shuang ¡­" Long Chen Yi couldn''t let go of her arm for a long time.


    Qian Shan raised his neck and waited for a long time, before carefully asking: "Did this subordinate send someone to assassinate her?"


    "Yes sir!"


    "But I can''t hurt her. I can''t damage her reputation. I can''t let her find out. Right, I can''t ¡­" Don''t scare her... You may decide as you see fit! "


    "This... "Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"


    "Scram!" Long Chen Yi''s killing intent was dense, if I can grab hold of this woman, how can I be so unlucky? I don''t know how to treat her either. Love and hate, hate and love, why did she let me meet her?!


    "Yes sir!" Qian Shan left with a bitter face. He could not live anymore, he had to go from the time when the Crown Prince met that woman called Ling Shuang. All of their guards were going crazy!


    God! Quickly take that woman away!


    Ling Shuang was sent back to the Fang Residence by the Crown Prince Palace''s carriage. After receiving Long Chen Yi''s order, Qian Shan coincidentally stopped Ling Shuang who was about to enter the Fang Residence.


    Ling Shuang patted the weakness in her chest. Why would she still be afraid of you bastards now? She raised her phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Qian Shan''s stuttering appearance, and couldn''t help but anxiously ask coldly for him: "Did your master go back on his word? What? You still want to bring me back? "


    "No, Miss Ling has misunderstood," Qian Shan said anxiously, her face turning red.


    Ling Shuang was puzzled, what exactly did Long Chen Yi mean? Did he really want her to find a book bureau and print out his nude paintings for the entire country, or even the four Eastern Kingdoms?


    Qian Shan finally raised his head and threw a green thing at Ling Shuang, and said: "Master is very angry, and asked this subordinate to teach you a lesson! "Farewell!"


    He fled in a hurry!


    Ling Shuang looked down at a green caterpillar lying on her clothes, and didn''t know whether to laugh or to cry.


    F * ck! Long Chen Yi, you are crazy!


    Two days later, a crisp sound came from Cheng Jin Tang. Mrs Fang stood up abruptly and looked at Fang Heng, not caring about the teacup that had been knocked down by her unintentionally.


    "What did you say?" Say that again! " Mrs Fang''s face twitched. She thought that her son had said something wrong.


    Fang Heng was also extremely puzzled, and said anxiously: "His Highness Crown Prince has personally ordered us not to take Fang Yu''s life, and had even sent people to protect Fang Yu, so that even Big Cousin and Second Cousin can''t do anything about it."


    Mrs Fang''s face instantly turned pale. He paced back and forth, and suddenly turned around to ask: "Where did that Ling Shuang go today?"


    Fang Heng paused: "Ministry of Justice Main Hall? I saw with my own eyes that the two officials in charge of the Ministry of Justice Hall and that official from the Ministry of Justice did not seem to be faking it! "


    "Humph!" Mrs Fang snorted, "Ministry of Justice Main Hall? I think it should be the Crown Prince Palace? "


    Fang Heng was startled, and the corner of his eyes twitched unnaturally. How was this possible? How could the Crown Prince Prince take Ling Shuang seriously?


    "What does Mother mean?" Fang Heng shook his head, "How is that possible? Why would the Crown Prince take a fancy to a married woman? "


    "Idiot!" Mrs Fang glanced at his son in disappointment, his temples throbbing and his head aching.


    Fang Heng was stunned, but unnaturally, he started to like her. So she was actually a girl?


    "Forget it, I''ll enter the palace tomorrow to take a look at Elder Sis." A hint of sharpness flashed through Mrs Fang''s eyes.


    As Fang Heng walked out of the Cheng Jin Tang, his footsteps unnaturally moved towards the East Garden. At this moment, besides the servants that he had sent to guard the entrance of the East Garden, there was no one else.


    He paced back and forth at the door for a long time before he finally walked in. However, he did not see Ling Wan''s eyes that were filled with shock and despair.

 C41

    Fang Heng carefully walked into the East Garden''s spacious courtyard. When he suddenly raised his head, he saw a bamboo chair placed at the entrance of the corridor. Ling Shuang lied on the bamboo chair, holding onto a book in his hands. His hair was loose, like a waterfall flowing down, resplendent. His silver outer garments fluttered in the wind, giving him an indescribably ethereal feeling.


    Even though his brows were slightly furrowed, there was still a trace of unfeigned innocence within the melancholy, causing one''s heart to be moved.


    "Young Master Fang?" Have you come to the wrong place? " Ling Shuang didn''t even raise her head to look at the book. She was waiting for news from the wind and rain tower today, she didn''t expect such a scum to come.


    Fang Heng''s expression became slightly embarrassed, and looked left and right somewhat unnaturally. "Why is there not even a servant here?"


    Ling Shuang almost laughed out loud. Did this Young Master Fang get kicked in the head by a donkey? Her wife had just planted four people in Zhang family to poison her, but he had come over to ask this strange question.


    "Eldest Young Master, should I be waiting for you and Ling Wan to assassinate me? Do I have to welcome you with open arms? "


    Fang Heng was startled, his face full of innocence: "How could I assassinate you?"


    "Ha!" Ling Shuang was so angry that she started laughing. Forget it, what was the reason behind this adulterous couple messing with her about? Today, if she did not explain it clearly, she, Ling Shuang, would not listen.


    "Do you still remember the Peach Blossom Forest?"


    Fang Heng''s face turned white, the corners of his lips curled up: "Sorry, I didn''t think that Wuhuan''s assassins would come this time, and it was to poison them."


    "What does this have to do with Wuhuan?" Ling Shuang had really failed to them, and she was still pretending? She could not help but curse!


    "Ling Shuang!" Fang Heng frowned, he still did not like her vulgarity, but he felt that it was very real for her to act like this, so it turned out that he liked her from the bottom of his heart.


    "Stop pretending with me!" If it wasn''t for the fact that Ling Shuang was in a critical situation, he really wanted to kill him.


    "Ling Shuang, you better explain yourself. Don''t be so weird!"


    "Alright!" Ling Shuang sneered coldly, "That time in the Peach Blossom Forest, Ling Wan placed the poison into the thousand layer cake an hour ahead of time. He was almost poisoned to death! You dare to say that you don''t know? "


    Fang Heng turned pale with fright. He really didn''t know. At that time, all he wanted to do was to explain this matter to Ling Shuang, then bridge the bridge and return road.


    "Two days ago, Ling Wan sent four of her men to poison the pumpkin cup. If I didn''t discover it in time, I would have been dead by now!"


    "This ¡­" Fang Heng staggered back a step.


    "Fang Heng, you are just the legitimate eldest son of the Fang Family. How can you do such a vicious thing to a woman?"


    "I didn''t ¡­"


    Fang Heng opened his mouth wide, suddenly he turned and left, and every step he took made him seem as though he was escaping.


    "Miss, that Fang Heng doesn''t seem to be lying. Could it be that Ling Wan really poisoned him twice?"


    Ling Shuang gave a bland laugh, "He really doesn''t know."


    Cha Zi was startled, since the young miss knew that Fang Heng was not the one who poisoned her, then why was he still so overbearing to leave this matter to Fang Heng?


    Just now, when she saw Fang Heng''s appearance, she was simply about to go crazy. Was it really just to vent his anger?


    Ling Shuang glanced past Cha Zi''s suspicious eyes, she really did not know how to explain? However, she wanted Fang Heng to force him to go crazy, the more crazy the better!


    She was an expert in psychology, and Fang Heng''s every movement could not escape her eyes. If her guess was right, then Fang Heng''s attitude towards her had clearly improved a lot since the birthday banquet in Duke of Chen.


    However, there had never been someone who sold medicine for regret in this world, she thought that even if it was the Ling Shuang who loved Fang Heng in the past, she would never look back. Now that Fang Heng regretted choosing Ling Wan, his entire life would definitely be ruined by this choice.


    Ling Shuang laughed coldly in her heart, Fang Heng, you should take responsibility for your betrayal.


    In the West Garden''s Soothing Heart Pavilion, Fang Heng suddenly pulled open the curtain and walked in, directly sitting on the chair and sulking.


    "Henglang is back? Today, I just happened to have made some Mung Bean Hibiscus Soup which had been defeated. Do you want to drink a little? "


    Fang Heng looked at Ling Wan''s pure smile and suddenly felt a chill. He quickly turned his eyes and spoke coldly: "Why did you poison Ling Shuang?"


    Ling Wan''s hidden palm clenched into a fist and pierced into her palm, hurting.


    She didn''t think that the item she spent so much effort to obtain would actually be destroyed by just a single sentence from Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang, oh Ling Shuang, you''re quite capable, to be able to catch Fang Heng''s heart once again.


    She intentionally straightened her back, and the tears in her eyes rolled down like untied pearls: "Henglang, I treat you with complete sincerity. Why did you frame me like this for the sake of an outsider who was trying to sow discord?"


    "I... Aren''t I asking? " Fang Heng looked at Ling Wan''s bulging stomach and felt extremely pitiful, but her heart was still troubled.


    "Henglang, although Ling Shuang loves you, but in the past ten years, the one who accompanied you in making tea and reciting poems, washed and cooked for you, and carried your child is me! Henglang! "


    "What are you doing?" Fang Heng panicked and quickly hugged Ling Wan to comfort him, "It''s not just that, don''t cry anymore, it''s bad for you to hurt me."


    Ling Wan buried her head into Fang Heng''s embrace, the tears in her eyes had already dried. The dark and vicious expression on her face was like the curse of a devil late at night.


    She couldn''t wait any longer. She had to hurry and urge Fang Yue to carry out that plan when he was alone and when he was in prison.


    Ling Shuang! This time, I want to see you die with my own eyes!


    In East Garden, Ling Shuang slowly drank a bowl of porridge. Indeed, it was not good to rush here without any meat, but the bitter days like these should be coming to an end soon.


    The night gradually became darker, and the wind tonight was especially strong, bringing with it the smell of fire.


    Cha Zi anxiously looked at the empty courtyard: "Miss, I wonder how the people from wind and rain tower can bring the things that Miss wants in?"


    "I''m also very curious!" Ling Shuang was indeed curious, the Ling Shuang from before had an old-fashioned personality and was not good with words, but to actually be able to become good friends with Gu Xiao Yun, she was extremely curious, alright? He wondered if wind and rain tower would be able to fulfill his promise and deliver the things he wanted today.


    "He went astray!" He had gone astray! Cheng Jin Tang is in the water! " The sound of hurried footsteps and the clanging of a gong could be heard from outside.


    Ling Shuang was amused, "The heavens are truly opening their eyes, this fire is just too timely!"


    "Is General Ling satisfied?" A clear and handsome voice rang. Ling Shuang suddenly turned around to see that a young man in his early twenties was standing in his pavilion at some point in time.


    Wearing a white silk robe with a silver cloud pattern and purple gold edging, at the moment he appeared, the candlelight within the pavilion dimmed slightly. His body was like a tall crane, and his eyes were dazzling, as if he was drawing a picture, as if an immortal had descended into the mortal world.

 C42

    Ling Shuang had the urge to bleed from her nose, so she forcefully endured it. Fang Yu was the beauty of a demoness, but this person was the beauty that transcended the mortal world. And at night, it was the first time Ling Shuang had seen someone wearing a white robe dressed like that.


    This was definitely unprecedented, and would never happen again. Moreover, this person appeared and disappeared like a shadow. Qing Shui could tell that he was someone who was extremely good with his Qing Gong.


    "Ling Shuang greets Master Gu!" Ling Shuang felt that this Tower Master''s name was out of the ordinary. However, everyone in the martial arts world addressed her as Master Gu Xiao Yun, so she could not call her something new and unusual. Could it be that she was Immortal Gu?


    "General Ling is truly being too polite," Gu Xiao Yun said coldly, but still swept his gaze at Ling Shuang in astonishment.


    Ling Shuang was shocked, what could this man see? Did he discover something wrong with his body?


    "Eldest Miss," Yan Hong exclaimed as she walked over to him.


    "Why are you here?" Ling Shuang said in surprise, "There''s no need for so many people here. The sickness you had after falling into the water last time has not completely healed you!"


    "It was Master Gu who brought me here. He said that I might be worthy of being used," Yan Hong laughed happily, her eyes filled with joy. If she could be together with Eldest Miss, not to mention being locked in here, even if it was a life and death situation, it would be fine.


    Ling Shuang suddenly turned around to look at Gu Xiao Yun who had taken the initiative to sit on his chair.


    However, Gu Xiao Yun was currently sizing up Ling Shuang coldly, as if he wanted to analyse her in all directions once. This made Ling Shuang very unhappy, as this was the first time he had seen someone who could not fathom his temperament.


    "Cha Zi gave a bowl of rice porridge to Master Gu. It''s late in the night, I believe Master Gu is hungry by now, right?"


    A hint of astonishment flashed through Gu Xiao Yun''s deep icy eyes, but she immediately covered it up, and did not shirk her duties.


    Ling Shuang realized that he had been speaking very little, every word was precious like gold, it made her think of Tang Xian, and she really couldn''t help but ask him what the title was?


    Gu Xiao Yun actually ate that bowl of rice porridge and took out a list from his sleeves. He pointed at the large and small bags that had been placed in the corner at some point in time.


    "The thing you wanted is worth about three hundred silver. You gave me two thousand, and I''ll give you two human skin masks for the remaining seventeen hundred silver."


    "Cough, cough!" Ling Shuang almost choked to death on her saliva as she thought to himself, little brother, you are such a goddess-like person, is it really appropriate for you to be an evil merchant?


    Damn it! The remaining seventeen hundred taels of silver, return it to me. It is still forcing to buy, forcing to sell. Did I say I want a human skin mask?


    "That ¡­" Ling Shuang thought about what to say. A guy who was handsome like him would always have a bad temper, and furthermore, he would have many opportunities to do business with her in the future.


    But even so, he had already blacked out his seventeen hundred taels of silver without batting an eyelid. He shouldn''t be able to carry on with this, right? Didn''t the rules of the wind and rain tower say that they would first pay a deposit and then refund as much as possible? You have to step back?


    But Ling Shuang dared not say that this person gave her a little pressure that was rarely seen.


    Gu Xiao Yun''s expression was still as cold as ice. The so called ''harmony breeds wealth'' did not match with this man! He did not know how he managed to turn the wind and rain tower into his personal treasure.


    In the wind and rain tower, if you can''t think of it, you can''t buy it. Otherwise, flying Qinggong will kill you at home!


    "Master Gu is indeed doing this for my own good, but I really don''t need that human skin mask!"


    Gu Xiao Yun did not say anything, but his heart started to feel a bit uncomfortable, and after a long time.


    "Oh."


    Ling Shuang was startled, what did she mean by "oh"?


    "Alright, I''ll return the money to you one thousand and seven hundred silver, but the mask has already been made," Gu Xiao Yun slowly took out the returned silver notes and a thin piece of item.


    Gu Xiao Yun took out another piece of paper and looked at Ling Shuang: "If you bring this one, it''ll look like Yan Hong. I''ll bring you out of here in a while."


    Ling Shuang finally understood Gu Xiao Yun''s intentions. If this fake Ling Shuang was using East Garden as a cover, then she could really do a lot of things. There was no need to hide or hide from him.


    "Do you want to wear it?" Gu Xiao Yun asked coldly.


    "We''ve troubled Master Gu!" Ling Shuang was eager to give it a try.


    It was her first time wearing the legendary human skin mask, so her mood could be imagined. At first, she felt a little cool when she wore it, but soon after, she felt nothing.


    "Miss," Cha Zi quickly brought out the copper mirror to show Ling Shuang, looking at the mirror, she looked exactly like Yan Hong. The mask was too great. It was definitely a fake one, and it looked very natural.


    "I''ll buy it!" Ling Shuang pushed the one thousand and seven hundred silver bills back to his.


    "I''m sorry, but these two human skin masks have already risen to three thousand taels!" Gu Xiao Yun took a sip of his tea.


    Ling Shuang only felt that countless of lightning bolts were coming over.


    "But Master Gu, the two masks that you mentioned just now cost 1,700 taels of silver!"


    "That''s the price of the mask, plus the potion you need to drink when you take out the mask, it''s 1300 taels of potion."


    Puff! Ling Shuang spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Ling Shuang resisted the blood in her chest and ordered Cha Zi to take out three thousand and give it to him. Then, Gu Xiao Yun took it into his arms with a calm expression.


    Ling Shuang suddenly thought of something and asked: "Can you make me the mask of the Fang Family Fang Yue? Weren''t you seventeen hundred silver taels?


    "2,000 taels, not one point less!"


    "Wool?" Ling Shuang could not help but blurt out, and quickly replied, "Wh ¡­ "Why?"


    Gu Xiao Yun looked deeply into Ling Shuang''s heart, and slowly said. "A person whom Fang Yue detests, I''m not in a good mood doing anything to her face."


    Dizzy! Ling Shuang felt the world was spinning around him, she immediately sat down and drank her tea to calm her mind!


    After half an incense worth of time, all the five thousand silver Fang Yu had left fell into Gu Xiao Yun''s arms.


    Ling Shuang really didn''t want to talk with him for long. She admired how Ling Shuang became friends with this guy just now. However, there was one thing that she was sure of, and that Ling Shuang was a fool before who would only give money to a poor little fool.


    Gu Xiao Yun sat on the chair and watched as Ling Shuang took out those things from the bag. Her cold eyes were filled with surprise.


    Ling Shuang had learned how to use the copper mirror to set up traps and traps before. This time, she used the copper mirror to form a magic array around the room, which was made out of simple springs and a wooden carved pulley to hook a big man onto the ceiling.


    The most ingenious thing was that Ling Shuang would completely combine all of these mechanisms into a domino effect, which would affect the whole body.


    When Gu Xiao Yun saw that he had stood up completely, and was staring at Ling Shuang in disbelief.

 C43

    After Ling Shuang finished her work in the courtyard, she started to organize everything again. On her wrist was a simple spring anchorage rope that could help her fly over walls and ceiling beams to eavesdrop on spiders and the like. She remembered the parts. Just put them together. It was just that the quality of the wood didn''t seem too good.


    Black python skin tight-fitting clothing, waterproof, light and easy to move. A soft breastplate woven of gold and silver. There was a sharp dagger tied to the outer part of his thigh, and the thing on his waist surprised Gu Xiao Yun the most.


    This woman had changed the size of the arrow to palm size. There was a bullet needle inside the arrow. It could continuously shoot out arrows with great speed and force.


    Looking at the shocked gazes of Cha Zi and the others, Ling Shuang laughed bitterly, she had no solution. She really wanted to build a gun, but was it really good to have the era of firearms brought forward by her? She will be punished by the heavens. After she finds the blood jade, she will leave this place.


    After cleaning everything up, Ling Shuang said as she looked at Yan Hong and, "Don''t worry, these mechanisms in the courtyard can''t be broken through at all. From now on, the two of you will stand guard here and wait for my return."


    How could they not know what Ling Shuang meant? They could only lock themselves up and set up so many traps so that the people of the Fang Residence would definitely know that Ling Shuang was still here to confuse them.


    "Miss, we know the seriousness of the situation, you have to take care of yourself as well," Cha Zi said as she nodded.


    Ling Shuang turned around and looked at Gu Xiao Yun: "I''ll be troubling you! Shall we go? "


    Especially that short arrow device on Ling Shuang''s waist, she really wanted one. It was just that the wind and rain tower''s protection of the customer''s secret was exceptionally tight. The blueprint that Ling Shuang had given him was destroyed by Gu Xiao Yun after he made it. Unfortunately, he felt that Ling Shuang was completely different from the Ling Shuang he knew before.


    However, since Gu Xiao Yun had managed the wind and rain tower for so many years without collapsing, he had nothing to say about a person''s ability to recognize others. He felt that after changing, Ling Shuang would definitely become the number one calamity for the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Could it be that being abandoned by his lover had such a huge aftereffect? He subconsciously touched his own face that had been cold for too long, should he also find a girl to dump him?


    "Master Gu?" Ling Shuang didn''t know what this person was thinking, but her eyes were a little dazed, and she waved her hand in front of him.


    Gu Xiao Yun awkwardly coughed: "I think I need to improve the thing at your waist. You can draw another picture and I will help you change it into a bronze material."


    Gu Xiao Yun looked even more embarrassed. In Gu Xiao Yun''s life, there was nothing that could arouse his interest. He had enough power and money, so he didn''t like women, and certainly didn''t like men.


    He felt extremely empty, and it wasn''t easy for him to come across such an interesting object. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn''t be able to say it out loud. In the eyes of the martial artists, Gu Xiao Yun was almost omnipotent, to the point that nothing could enter his eyes.


    Therefore, suddenly having something that he liked, Gu Xiao Yun, who gave off the feeling of a god, became vulgar.


    Ling Shuang looked at his distress and slowly said: "I really can''t give you this."


    "Why?" Gu Xiao Yun was rarely interested in Ling Shuang''s things.


    Ling Shuang thought, if she gave them to you, what if they were to spread it among the martial arts world, wouldn''t each have a special "spear" that would allow me, Ling Shuang, to lose my advantage?


    "How much silver?" The persistence in Gu Xiao Yun''s eyes made her laugh out loud. She adjusted the rope on her wrist, and suddenly, an iron hook shot out and pierced into the roof opposite her, causing her body to twist. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing on the opposite eaves. Surprisingly, Ling Shuang, who was dressed in tight black clothes in the middle of the night, was able to move one''s heart.


    Gu Xiao Yun was even more shocked, he never thought that the mechanism on her waist that he was entangled with was even more powerful. No! I really want to play. I feel like I''ve found my beloved toy and I''m eager to get it.


    He suddenly flew up and brushed past the eaves, chasing after her. In this world, there was nothing that he could not want. Ling Shuang! As long as it was an item, it could be valued, even if it was a gold and silver mountain, Gu Xiao Yun could afford it. Ling Shuang didn''t want to sell it, so he forced her to sell those weird things to him.


    Ling Shuang only wanted to see one side of Fang Yu right now. Although a place like the Ministry of Justice Prison s were on high alert, Ling Shuang had gone through places that were countless times more tight than this one before. Just the underground palace, which had cost him his life, had all sorts of mechanisms that could take his life away from everyone.


    However, how could he not wet his shoes when walking by the river often? She, Ling Shuang, would never have thought that she would fall into the hands of a bunch of blood jade in the end.


    Ling Shuang lightly swung along the eaves of Ministry of Justice Prison''s house. A few patrolling guards were all quietly knocked down by her, and the special hallucinatory powder she bought from wind and rain tower was pretty useful.


    After Ling Shuang secretly captured a bailiff and tortured him for a while, sshe found out that Fang Yu was in the easternmost cell, he then quickly rushed over. After knocking out the two guards with a single palm, Ling Shuang finally saw Fang Yu again.


    She stared blankly at the white clothed man in the cell, holding a book, crossing his legs and lightly sipping a cup of tea with silver needles. He couldn''t help but rub his eyes. Was Fang Yu in jail? Or was he on vacation?


    Fang Yu was obviously startled when he heard Ling Shuang''s footsteps as he turned around.


    "Yan Hong?"


    "It took me a few days to recognize him?" Ling Shuang was a little sad and disappointed.


    Fang Yu suddenly rushed over, it was Ling Shuang''s voice. When did this girl learn the art of disguise? Furthermore, the disguise was done in such an impressive manner that he wouldn''t be able to recognize it if she didn''t say anything.


    Ling Shuang took out a silver hairpin from her hair and squatted outside the door. After a few moments, she unchained the hairpin. Without waiting for Ling Shuang to completely open the door, Fang Yu immediately pulled Ling Shuang in through the gap of the door and tightly hugged him.


    "Shuang Er!" Fang Yu''s voice was hoarse and filled with an indescribable feeling. He had experienced the pain of yearning after being separated for only a few days.


    The first night was born, the second night grew up, the third night met someone he wanted to protect, the fourth night cherished the person he wanted to protect, the fifth night lost the person he wanted to protect, and finally died. The remaining five nights were filled with longing that could not be stopped by thirst.


    Fang Yu hadn''t lost his yet, but his love for his had already sunk deep into his bones. This time, he hugged Ling Shuang tightly in his embrace, wishing for nothing more than to rub her into his own body, and never to separate from his again.

 C44

    Fang Yu hugged Ling Shuang tightly in his arms. Ling Shuang only felt that it was hard to breathe, did this fellow want to kill her?


    Ling Shuang struggled free from his arm. She came here today just to see how is this guy doing. She still had a lot of important things to do, so she didn''t want to spend the whole night hugging Fang Yu.


    "Fang Yu, what exactly happened on that day?"


    Fang Yu''s expression became solemn and said slowly: "I''m sorry, I was too anxious. Auntie Ge and tortoise shell were already dead when they waited for me. "A fatal strike, what I used was ¡­"


    "What is it?" Ling Shuang could not help but ask.


    "He used the Ling Family Sword Art."


    "What?" Ling Shuang shouted in a low voice, how was this possible? The Ling Family Sword Technique was the hardest sword technique to learn, and was passed down from the ancestors of the Ling Family.


    If it wasn''t for the broken rules of Ling Family where men don''t inherit women, it would be impossible for Ling Shuang to learn these sword techniques. Even if it was Fang Yu, she had only taught him a few moves, but because they were a fake husband and wife, she did not teach all of them to Fang Yu. After all, this was something passed down from the ancestors of the Ling Family. As a person who came from another world, she couldn''t make the decision to give something from the Ling Family to an outsider like Fang Yu.


    Fang Yu frowned slightly, "At that time, the sky was very dark and the Auntie Ge''s banana garden was a mess. Before I could inspect it carefully, I was surrounded by the Fang family''s servants. However, I am certain that it was caused by the sword technique of the Ling Family. Furthermore, it was killed with a single sword strike.


    Ling Shuang''s heart was in shock, she could not imagine, that there were only four people in Ling Family who knew of Ling Family''s Wind Cloud Sword Art. Her father and brother had already died in battle. second brother had been poisoned by the strange poison and had no ability to move at all.


    Ling Shuang looked down at her hands, not wanting to be held by Fang Yu with a smile: "What are you thinking about? "Silly girl!"


    "Is it also possible for me to kill people while sleepwalking?" Ling Shuang stared innocently into her phoenix eyes. Other than this point, she really couldn''t think of anyone else who could use the Ling Family Sword Technique to kill someone.


    "I''ve already sent people to investigate this matter, don''t worry."


    "Send people?" Ling Shuang looked at Fang Yu, "You can communicate with the outside world even in the Ministry of Justice Prison?"


    Fang Yu covered up: "Yes, Shuang Er doesn''t need to worry."


    "How can I not be worried?" Ling Shuang felt that his mood was extremely bad, why did it involve the Ling Family? Did his father have an illegitimate child outside? God! The more Ling Shuang thought, the more he panicked and said: "Fang Yu, this case is just a headless case, it''s clear that they want to kill you."


    Fang Yu sighed: "That''s right! The killer was extremely cunning and did not leave behind any clues, I have already sent people to investigate, but other than the strange wounds left by the Ling Family, there was nothing else.


    Wait, did the people from the Ministry of Justice find out about the Ling Family''s sword techniques as well?


    Fang Yu knew what Ling Shuang was thinking and quickly changed the topic: "Shuang Er, have you gotten skinnier recently? Didn''t you eat properly? "


    "Fang Yu, what exactly did you say to the people of Ministry of Justice?" Ling Shuang was so stifled that her heart felt uncomfortable, "Why didn''t they come to find me, the legitimate descendant of the Ling Family''s sword technique, and instead find you?"


    "Shuang Er, have you finished the Sweet ''n'' Sour Chestnut I bought for you?"


    "Fang Yu!" Ling Shuang almost shouted.


    "Are you crazy?" Tears rolled down Ling Shuang''s face. The only breakthrough in this case was the Ling Family Sword Art, Ling Shuang should be the biggest suspect, but this idiot agreed to it.


    "Do you think I would be grateful for that?" Ling Shuang was so angry that she wanted to kill him with his sword.


    "Bastard!" Fool! "Bones!" Ling Shuang smashed into Fang Yu''s embrace with his head down. Fang Yu''s complexion paled for a moment but quickly returned to normal.


    "Shuang Er, I don''t want anything to happen to you, and I don''t want the Ling Family to be involved either. Besides, I''m not as weak as you think. I''ll be out in less than a month. The clue of the Ling Family''s sword technique alone is unable to cut off my head, it''s just that this matter is too urgent, and I need to send some people to deal with it outside. "


    "Fang Yu." Ling Shuang forced herself to calm down, and raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, then laughed heartily: "There''s no need, I''ll get Mrs Fang to personally bring you back to Fang Family in five days at most."


    "Shuang Er? What are you going to do? " Fang Yu was shocked, "Be obedient and don''t do stupid things, I only need a month for someone to take me out, take this," Fang Yu suddenly stuffed a black jade thumb ring that was hidden in his hair into Ling Shuang''s hands, "You can take any flowers that you want from the various large money transfer banks in Great Yan Dynasty, and I will throw my mother''s Fructus Caryopteris outside the window of the Auntie Ge''s Warm Pavilion. But now, don''t go and get it, otherwise someone would set up an ambush. At the foot of the snowy mountain in Yunzhou, there is a present from me. If you are right, when you go to bed at night, remember to cover yourself with a blanket and not catch cold. "You like to kick the quilt when you sleep..."


    Fang Yu, don''t treat me too well, otherwise I won''t be able to leave. Ling Shuang muttered in her heart, and suddenly pushed Fang Yu away as she looked at him with determination: "Fang Yu, I won''t let you stay here for long, remember to wait for me."


    Fang Yu looked at Ling Shuang with a bad expression. "Shuang Er, don''t do anything stupid! Otherwise, I... I really will spank your butt! "


    Ling Shuang laughed proudly: "Fang Yu, I''m not as weak as you think. Let''s go, you take care!"


    "Shuang Er!"


    "Fang Yu, thank you for the silver!" Ling Shuang turned and ran away, she did not dare to stay any longer, she was afraid that she would really stay if she stayed any longer.


    No, I can''t, I don''t belong to this world, I have to leave, I''m sorry, Fang Yu, I can''t give you too many promises, and I don''t dare to give them to you.


    They only watched as Ling Shuang''s figure swiftly turned away. She did not procrastinate, but her feelings were deep and profound.


    Fang Yu fiercely frowned, this silly girl must not do anything stupid! He felt a sudden pain in his ribs, and he hurried to cover his chest with his hands. Blood oozed out of his ribs through his white shirt.


    Silly girl, isn''t it just a hug? With such force, the wound split open again.


    Fang Yu was still alive, but Long Chen Yi had sent people to break his bones and ask the doctors to apply the medicine on him. Fang Yu practically lived in hell everyday, so this kind of miserable state was something that he absolutely could not let Shuang Er see. He believed that Shuang Er would definitely look for him, so every single day, after Fang Yu had been tortured, he would dress himself up brilliantly, bright like the first rays of the sun.


    Ling Shuang jumped out of the Ministry of Justice Prison and walked two streets before stopping. She only felt a dull pain in her chest and how could she not know about the smell of blood on Fang Yu''s body.


    He disguised himself too well, and so did she.


    No, she had to do it right away.

 C45

    At night, the streets were completely silent. There were only a few pedestrians on the streets.


    It had just rained, and the smell of earth was everywhere.


    The shadow of a person staggering over shattered the moon as his entire body was filled with the smell of alcohol humming a melodious tune. The girls of the Drunken Flower Hall still had the thick scent of rouge on their bodies.


    This man was the young master of Fang Family, Fang Heng''s follower. Recently, Aunt and Young Grandmother Ling Wan had bestowed a lot to him, he should be extremely satisfied with his life!


    Suddenly, a cold wind came from behind him, Chen Yuan didn''t mind it and continued to hum with his alcohol burp. Suddenly, his body stiffened and he dropped to his knees with a thump.


    "Large... Great hero, spare me, this little one ¡­ This humble one is a servant of the Fang Family.


    A shining short sword was held against Chen Yuan''s neck, he could even feel the cold Qi that was being emitted from the people standing behind him, and was unable to say anything due to his shock.


    "AHH!" Chen Yuan screamed miserably as he felt a sharp pain from his neck and his entire body fell to the ground.


    "Useless thing!" Ling Shuang never thought that Chen Yuan would be so useless. She did not even use any methods, and just knelt down to beg for forgiveness. Hero, spare me!


    She bent over and dragged Chen Yuan into a dark alley, and dragged him into the courtyard she had bought earlier. Ling Shuang knew that this kind of slums with mixed eyes would only hide things that no one else should know.


    Just as she dragged Chen Yuan in, Gu Xiao Yun came out to welcome her. He seemed to be busy and interested by himself. This woman could always give him a lot of surprises. On the way, he had been following Ling Shuang everywhere, which made him accustomed to it.


    Ling Shuang did not expect Gu Xiao Yun to help her in any way, since this evil merchant was very troublesome to deal with anyway. It was so good that she was not afraid of him leaking the secret, but Gu Xiao Yun still helped her kill some of the people following her, it was kind of useful.


    Ling Shuang dragged Chen Yuan to a cellar. Back then, she had her eyes on this independent cellar when she bought this courtyard. There were many ropes and chains hanging on the wall, as well as those strange things that Ling Shuang had spent money to buy from the wind and rain tower.


    Just as Chen Yuan woke up, he discovered that his upper body was hanging from a bloodstained wooden pillar. The surroundings were filled with the unpleasant stench of blood, and he did not know that Ling Shuang had used at least a huge barrel of chicken blood to create such a place with such a strong feeling.


    "You are ¡­" Chen Yuan was just about to ask about the details, but didn''t expect that he would meet Ling Shuang''s ice-cold phoenix eyes directly.


    "Two ¡­" Second Young Madam? "


    "Thank you for remembering me as a person," Ling Shuang said in a voice filled with indescribable joy and anger as he gently and coincidentally wielded a very strange dagger in his hand.


    "Second Young Madam, why have I never offended you before?" In the end, Chen Yuan had seen much of the world, and the things he had discussed with Ling Wan recently had taken Ling Shuang''s life everywhere, how could it be considered offending him?


    Ling Shuang knew that those who could survive by Fang Heng''s side did not have many tricks up their sleeves, she also knew that he was extremely crafty, but she had other methods to make him speak.


    "Chen Yuan, I don''t have that much time to argue with you. I''m just asking you how Ling Wan is preparing to deal with me?"


    "Second Young Madam... This... "How would I know?" Chen Yuan would never say it even if he was beaten to death!


    Ling Shuang looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, suddenly, the short blade in her hand, mixed with an unknown liquid that was in a porcelain bowl beside him, gently and easily cut Chen Yuan''s body.


    "Second Young Madam, spare me! This little one really doesn''t know! " Chen Yuan screamed miserably. Ling Shuang''s blade was obviously not deep, but he still trembled from the pain. It was the kind of pain of being burned by flames.


    Ling Shuang used a liquid similar to sulfuric acid, she never thought that Gu Xiao Yun could even find this for her.


    "Let me ask you again, how is Ling Wan going to deal with me?"


    "Second Young Madam ¡­" The wound on Chen Yuan''s body started to split open in all directions, and the reeking, red, and disgusting flesh flipped out as well. He was in so much pain that his entire body started to tremble.


    Gu Xiao Yun, who was at the door, watched with interest, as her deep icy eyes landed on the calm and composed Ling Shuang. What kind of woman was she? You do bad things to look like this... Tempting?


    Ling Shuang did not care about the evil merchant behind her, she only wanted to get Fang Yu out of prison as soon as possible, this matter needed to be done quickly.


    It was a pity that there was no such thing as electricity in this era, if not Chen Yuan would admit to it in a second.


    "Chen Yuan, Ling Wan must have promised you a lot of things, but you also know that if a person''s life is taken away, how can you continue to enjoy those things?"


    Ling Shuang''s voice was slow but cold, with every sentence the dagger in her hand would cut across Chen Yuan''s body.


    "Please spare my life, Second Young Madam! I say! I say! " He really couldn''t bear the pain of having his heart and lungs pierced.


    "Speak!" Ling Shuang knew that this greedy little person had always been soft. She actually still had a lot of ways to force herself to use them.


    Chen Yuan gasped for breath as he replied, "Aunt and Young Grandmother has asked me to contact the old granny Liao at the Eastern City''s Hat Lane. She is a human and specializes in selling off those young misses to such places."


    "You really think highly of me," Ling Shuang coldly snorted, and as expected, it was Ling Wan''s most vicious method.


    "And then?"


    "Aunt and Young Grandmother found a medicine that could cause Second Young Madam''s martial arts to be completely lost. He then handed you over to old woman Liao, broke his leg, and sold you ¡­ Sell it to the lowest sort of place. "


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes were still pitch-black. The heart of this woman, Ling Wan, was really like a snake. The reason why she grabbed her was not only to kill her, but also to humiliate and torture her to such an extent.


    "Your Eldest Miss is also participating, right?"


    "This ¡­" After all, Eldest Miss was Mrs Fang''s most beloved daughter. Chen Yuan knew that if he were to sell Mrs Fang''s flesh and blood today, he would take her life even if he were to escape from Mrs Fang later.


    He could not help but regret why he did not open his eyes and provoke this woman that he should not have provoked for the sake of the silver in Ling Wan''s hands. Wasn''t Ling Shuang imprisoned in the East Garden? Why would she appear here?


    "Second Young Madam, are you going to spare my life?" Chen Yuan turned pale with fright as he saw Ling Shuang open a box gently in his hands.


    Surprisingly, it was filled with large, rare red ants. Ling Shuang turned the ants around and all landed on Chen Yuan''s body.


    "AHH!" "Ahhh!" Chen Yuan screamed like a madman, the pain was actually a hundred times greater than before.


    "Second Young Madam! Second Young Madam! I say! I say! "

 C46

    "Speak!" Ling Shuang didn''t have any intention to get rid of the ants on Chen Yuan''s body. Instead, she picked up another, even stranger box and slowly rubbed it against the table.


    "Chen Yuan, don''t you want to see what''s inside the box?"


    "AHH!" Help! It tickled me to death! Help! "I ¡­"


    ''s lips revealed a cold smile. She, Ling Shuang, was definitely not the type of woman who would allow others to bully or bully her without retaliating.


    She opened the box in her hands, revealing a red and gold centipede squirming inside, which finally destroyed the last line of defense in Chen Yuan''s mind.


    "Recently, East Garden''s defenses have been very tight. Eldest Miss spent a lot of money to hire the most proficient undercover spell in the Jianghu, Ghost Liu Ye. Second Young Madam hid in the backyard. The morning of the next day, Eldest Miss and Aunt and Young Grandmother will meet to visit the Dragon Cry Temple to burn some incense. Eldest Miss will be taken out of the house and handed over to old granny Liao at the Dragon''s Cry Temple.


    "Is that so? "It really is flawless!" Ling Shuang suddenly opened his mouth, and the half inch long gold-red centipede slipped into his mouth.


    He was scared silly, but he did not expect Ling Shuang to look at him and laugh while holding onto a pill: "It tastes not bad, right?"


    Chen Yuan felt as if he was pissing between the two, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.


    Ling Shuang smiled slightly and said: "Don''t be afraid, if you can sell Ling Wan and Fang Yue out today, I won''t be able to put you back in place. This centipede is highly toxic, but the pill in my hand can suppress its poison. If I let you go, you''ll just pretend that nothing happened. "


    "Second Young Madam, please forgive this lowly one. Please forgive me ¡­" Second Young Madam... "


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes trembled as she said, "Listen up, everything is still the same. What should we do? I''ll give you the other half of the antidote in seven days. If there''s any mistake in it and I''m very sorry, I''ll have to drag you to die with me. "


    Chen Yuan fell to the ground, Ling Shuang opened up half of the pill in her hand and stuffed it into his mouth.


    "Perform well! I think highly of you! "


    Ling Shuang borrowed the rope that tied Chen Yuan, and after knocking his head a few times towards Ling Shuang, he stumbled and escaped.


    "Brilliant!" Gu Xiao Yun gently clapped his hands and walked over.


    Ling Shuang stroked her forehead as she turned around and looked at him, "Master Gu, don''t you feel that it''s really upsetting just by looking at all these?"


    Gu Xiao Yun laughed: "Ling Shuang, it will be very troublesome if we do anything to the Dragoncry Temple. Do you need wind and rain tower''s help?"


    "How much silver?" Ling Shuang had to ask clearly, she really needed wind and rain tower''s people to step in. This kind of killing and arson scheme was rather suitable for wind and rain tower.


    Every time this happens, Ling Shuang would have a desire, when would she be able to cultivate such an outstanding power like the wind and rain tower? That way, she wouldn''t be killed by this bastard?


    "I don''t want silver," Gu Xiao Yun''s icy face was filled with a repressive aura, he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.


    "You said you don''t want silver?" Are you joking with me? "Little brother?"


    "I want you to make me a copy of those strange things," Gu Xiao Yun said as if he did not plan to give in.


    Ling Shuang could not help but laughed bitterly: "Alright! "But, as the saying goes, it''s best not to spread those things. Also, I''ll give you the drawings of everything, but I''ll take a lot of money and it''s a lot of money."


    "Ha!" I can afford it! "


    Ling Shuang''s meal was indeed rich! However, thinking about it like this, she felt really satisfied. She had to spend Fang Yu''s money all the time, it was not appropriate to continue like this.


    "Deal!" Gu Xiao Yun''s ice face finally had a ripple, and she slowly said, "I''ll arrange for someone to help you with your plan."


    "Thank you!" Ling Shuang cupped his fists.


    "What did you say?"


    "The outfit you wore in Duke of Chen that day was very beautiful, I was there just in time and drew it on the way."


    "What do you mean?" Ling Shuang felt that something was wrong.


    "What''s the point? Someone paid three thousand silver for your portrait, and I''m not sure if I should sell it or not."


    "Wait a moment!" Ling Shuang called out to Gu Xiao Yun, and then took out three banknotes worth a thousand gold and passed it to him, "I''ll buy it."


    Gu Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "Deal, I''ll send someone to deliver it to my residence in a few days!"


    "Gu Xiao Yun! "You evil merchant!" Ling Shuang''s flustered and exasperated roars came from behind him. The corner of her mouth slightly pursed, and the ten thousand year old iceberg face finally turned into a pool of spring water.


    Deep into the night, two days later, Ling Shuang finished packing everything up and returned to the East Garden, exchanging identities with Yan Hong.


    "Yan Hong, after you leave, go to the Ling Family and help me look after the Grandmother. Recently, the Grandmother has been sick because of my matters."


    "Yes sir!" Yan Hong hurriedly left the Ling Residence in the dark of the night.


    "Cha Zi, remove half of the mechanism array, don''t give it to that Liu Ye or something like that a little bit of suffering, otherwise it would look fake."


    "Yes sir!" Cha Zi was still looking at Eldest Miss worriedly. After all, being kidnapped by someone was definitely a method to seek victory in the face of danger, "Eldest Miss, can''t you use a different method?"


    "There''s no need to change it. This is the best method. I will make them slowly taste the fruits of their own viciousness."


    Cha Zi also did not dare to say anything more. Eldest Miss had always had her own will, and it had been even more so lately. She quickly followed the method the Eldest Miss told her to do things and removed half of the mechanism, even if it was just half of it, she didn''t know if the Ghost Willow Leaf could break it or not.


    The night had grown even darker, and Ling Shuang took out a small box that Gu Xiao Yun had prepared. She gently opened it. Inside the box was a jade-green pill that emitted a faint fragrance.


    Ling Shuang held it up and swallowed it slowly. This pill could resist the corrosion from the poisonous smoke and mist so she laid down on the bed slowly.


    The night had grown even darker. Ling Shuang''s usual vigilance allowed her to detect the slightest sound from outside, and her lips couldn''t help but slightly curl up. It was finally time.


    Ling Shuang thought that this Willow Leaf was really quick in breaking the mechanism, which not only made her interested in him. Then, a thin, colorless stream of smoke blew in through the small hole that had been punctured on the outside of the cabinet.


    She couldn''t help but be surprised that the poisonous smoke didn''t have a pungent smell. On the contrary, it carried a clear and cold fragrance. She also did not dare to be careless. Although she had Gu Xiao Yun''s pills to guard against it, she still silently used all of the inner force in her body to force the poisonous smoke that she inhaled out of her body.


    After around half an incense''s time, the door to the Warm Pavilion was gently opened. The sound of Cha Zi, who had fallen to the ground in front of the door, being kicked open was clearly transmitted to Ling Shuang''s ears.

 C47

    She quickly sealed all the obstacles in her body, as if she was a poisoned corpse. He felt as if his body was suddenly lifted up onto a broad shoulder. This person''s stature was definitely not low at all, and his strength was extraordinarily great as well.


    Not long after, Ling Shuang was sent to a warm pavilion, and a clear conversation sounded in her ears.


    "Miss Fang, I''ve brought the person for you. This silver ¡­." Gui Liu Ye''s voice was extremely hoarse.


    "Of course not," Fang Yue''s voice sounded a little agitated and a little impatient.


    "Here, here are five thousand silver taels. Take good care of them. Don''t ever mention this matter again."


    "Of course!" The sound of steady footsteps could be heard in the distance.


    "Cui Zhu! Go and inform Aunt and Young Grandmother that he is already here. "


    "Yes sir!" Cui Zhu''s voice slightly trembled. She was obviously frightened by such a shocking matter, but she still mustered up her courage and joined the fray.


    Ling Shuang laid quietly on the ice-cold bluestone floor, the sharp sound of her ears grabbing onto all the sounds in the room, to think that Fang Yue was the only one there.


    She had been thinking about how she could make a move earlier, but now it was simply a godsend opportunity.


    "Ling Shuang, you slut!" Fang Yue squatted down and looked at Ling Shuang''s closed eyes. The jealousy and hatred in his heart turned into happiness, and he could not help but laugh out loud: "Bitch, this time, I have found a good place for you to go. You can enjoy yourself slowly!"


    She saw that the more Ling Shuang''s elegant and refined face looked, the more furious and furious she became. She suddenly raised her hand, wanting to slap her, but her wrist suddenly tightened, before she could even cry out in shock, her acupuncture points had been pierced off by Ling Shuang, and all the acupoints around her were sealed by Ling Shuang.


    She stared with her round eyes, inconceivably seeing Ling Shuang sitting up unharmed from the ground, the fear in her eyes could not even be described. Damn it, she actually fell for Ling Shuang''s trick!


    A pill was slapped into Fang Yue''s mouth by Ling Shuang. The fear in Fang Yu''s eyes went down to the depths of his bones. The pill melted in his mouth, causing her body to not be able to move at all, even his eyes could not let themselves decide, as he stared at Ling Shuang.


    Ling Shuang suddenly took out two human skin masks, one of them was on his face, Fang Yue looked at the face that was exactly the same as himself in fear.


    Soon after, Ling Shuang covered her face with the other mask, listening to Ling Shuang''s muttering caused her to feel a sense of despair.


    "Fang Yue, I have endured it again and again just because you are Fang Yu''s little sister. I never expected that you didn''t have the slightest bit of sibling relationship. I gave you a chance, but I''m sorry, you gave up first. I fed you the Seven-Day Soul Chasing Pill you bought. In these seven days, you can''t move at all, but you can feel everything that''s been done to you. Fang Yue, you really put in a lot of effort just to deal with me! How can I let you down? What about wasting the pills you gave me? "


    Fang Yu''s eyes turned dark and he closed them.


    "Sister, how is it?" Ling Wan walked in quickly. The excited expression on her face disgusted Ling Shuang to the extreme, but she still forced out a pleased smile: "Why have you only just arrived, hmph! No matter how powerful Ling Shuang is, didn''t she still end up in my hands? "


    A special training Ling Shuang received before she transmigrated was to be able to grasp a person''s voice for a short period of time and imitate it.


    Ling Shuang did not doubt him, and smiled sweetly: "If Young Master Hu were to see her lecherous and despicable appearance, he would definitely regret it, and at that time, her marriage will naturally be over."


    "I''ll definitely teach this bitch a lesson tomorrow!" Ling Shuang followed, but in his heart, he was burning with rage. Ling Wan had used Hu Li to incite the hatred between his and Fang Yue.


    At this time, when Ling Wan saw "Ling Shuang" lying in front of him in such a weak state, she was extremely pleased. She took out a dagger from her waist and squatted in front of "Ling Shuang".


    Ling Shuang felt a chill down her spine, how could this woman have such vicious thoughts?


    "Ling Shuang! Do you have a day? " Ling Wan could not suppress the coldness at the corner of her mouth, staring at the man like a venomous snake.


    "Ling Shuang, since you want to use this face of yours to take back the love of the Henglang, I will let you become the ugliest woman in the world. I will see how you will seduce other men in the future."


    With that, Ling Wan raised her hand and swung her blade. "Ling Shuang" ''s "white and smooth face was instantly cut, and a ferocious wound extended from the left side of her forehead all the way to her right side of her chin.


    Ling Shuang felt a chill in her heart, she was glad that Gu Xiao Yun''s human skin mask was extremely tough, it actually stuck so close to Fang Yue''s skin, even if it was slashed by the blade, it was still real.


    But right now, Fang Yue really wanted to hate Ling Wan so much that he could eat her alive right?


    "Alright, we will set off for the Dragoncry Temple tomorrow morning!" Ling Shuang really didn''t want to see this abnormal woman.


    The morning of the second day, Ling Shuang brought Fang Yue to her and Ling Wan''s carriage, went to the Dragon Cry Temple, and found a Zen Courtyard at the foot of the mountain to throw Fang Yue in.


    Not long after, Chen Yuan and old granny Liao rushed over, and just as they entered the gate of the Zen Courtyard, they saw the "Ling Shuang" lying on the ground. Chen Yuan''s face twitched, and astonishment flashed past his eyes.


    Ling Shuang quickly said: "Chen Yuan, I''m warning you, now that things have gotten to this point, it''s considered too late for you to be a coward. Work properly and be careful of your skin!"


    Chen Yuan did not dare to say anything more. Ling Wan''s face relaxed a little, it turned out that Chen Yuan''s expression just now was due to fright. It was no wonder that the servants were still somewhat afraid of Ling Shuang, such a ferocious woman.


    However ¡­ Ling Wan looked down at the "Ling Shuang" from high above and sneered to herself. Elder Sis, no matter how powerful you are, you can''t win against me!


    "Th-this ¡­" The woman''s face was full of tears ¡­ What can you sell it for? " Old Madam Liao frowned slightly.


    Ling Shuang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, the next few days would be the hardest for Fang Yue, but at the right time, she would take Fang Yue out from that dirty place and hide. I wonder what Mrs Fang''s expression will be this time?


    Returning the money to Fang Yu with her broken daughter, Ling Shuang was very interested in this deal.


    "Little sister, let''s go back!" Ling Wan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and was about to hold onto Ling Shuang''s hand, but was suddenly stunned, only to see Ling Shuang slowly take off the human skin mask, and reveal a pair of extremely enchanting phoenix eyes.

 C48

    "You ¡­ "You ¡­" Ling Wan trembled uncontrollably, and staggered a few steps back. Her clumsy body, which was pregnant, made her actions look extremely laughable.


    Ling Shuang''s bones loosened for a moment, and her entire body suddenly grew taller. In order to act out a good performance with Fang Yue, she had even used this kind of method to wear out her body, like retracting her bones. She turned her head and smiled lightly at Ling Wan: "Ling Wan, I don''t think there''s a need for me to go back with you, right?"


    "Ling ¡­" Ling Shuang... " Ling Wan was extremely frightened.


    It was also her fault that she was blinded by jealousy and did not realize that the fake "Ling Shuang" was even smaller in size.


    Ling Shuang didn''t give her too much time to regret, she stood in front of her and said in a low voice, "Fang Yue will go out with you, but only you will be returning. "And you''re so ruthless, I didn''t expect you to cut her face."


    "No, no, you ¡­" Ling Wan was a little incoherent, yet, she could not say a single word.


    Ling Shuang said coldly: "If you were to leave any leeway for others, you wouldn''t go back so easily. Ling Wan, you are too venomous. Is it really okay to always force others into desperate straits? The pills you two originally prepared for me were indeed not bad, you obviously know everything, but you couldn''t even move a single inch. Now that Fang Yue knows that you have ruined her appearance, do you think that she will let you off? And this time, you instigated Fang Yue to commit a major calamity, you think the Mrs Fang does not know of its connections? Will Mrs Fang let you go? "


    "Also," Ling Shuang swept a glance at the people from the wind and rain tower at the door, "Don''t even think about escaping. No matter how you run, I''ll get someone to send you back to the Fang Family safely.


    Ling Shuang took big steps out of the Buddhist Mansion, and then, Ling Wan sat down on the ground in a daze, as if she had died.


    Ling Shuang waited until sunset and sneaked back to East Garden. With her current equipment, Ling Shuang''s movements were even more unpredictable and unpredictable.


    Cha Zi stood guard at the entrance of the pavilion, and when she saw Ling Shuang, who was dressed in tight black clothes, flip over from the rear window, she immediately went to welcome him.


    "Eldest Miss?" Cha Zi''s nervous voice trembled a little. After all, Ling Shuang risking herself was really a risky move, and she was almost tortured to death while waiting in East Garden.


    "Don''t talk, let me change out of my clothes," Ling Shuang walked to the back of the bed and took off his clothes, along with the strange equipment that he had worn in this era, he placed them in the secret compartment of the Warm Pavilion.


    When they first moved into the East Garden, Fang Yu did not know where he found a few skilled craftsmen. He designed a very ingenious secret compartment in the Western Warm Pavilion''s walls.


    After Ling Shuang put everything away, she wore an ordinary set of silver dresses. She changed these dresses according to her own thoughts, and didn''t seem too cumbersome.


    Her long hair that was as dark as a waterfall was simply tied up behind her head with a silver ribbon. She took out a scroll called ''Taiping'' and leaned it on the reclining chair near the window.


    Cha Zi put down the book, picked up the bowl of porridge, and ate half of it. She did not expect the sound of hurried footsteps to come from outside the East Garden.


    Fang Heng, who was dressed in an embroidered gown with bamboo grain plants, quickly walked in. Seeing Ling Shuang eating her porridge blandly, while casually glancing over her books, she did not look like someone who had just returned from the outside.


    He couldn''t help but stop in his tracks. For a moment, he didn''t know what he should do or say. After Ling Wan came back from the Dragoncry Temple, she had been crying non-stop, saying that Ling Shuang had sent people to take Fang Yue away. It did not look fake and looked extremely pitiful.


    However, even Fang Heng felt that Ling Wan''s words were nonsense, he had sent people to monitor the entrance and exit of the East Garden the past few days. Even if Ling Shuang had three heads and six arms, she couldn''t fly out of the courtyard?


    Moreover, the Mrs Fang ordered him to investigate Ling Shuang''s whereabouts everyday, and she had been in the East Garden herself for the past few days. He saw Ling Shuang reading in the Western Warm Pavilion of East Garden from afar every day. She would either take a clinic nap or play chess with Cha Zi.


    Fang Heng had never realized that the originally quiet Ling Shuang actually had a kind of gentle charm that would calm a person''s heart. Looking at Ling Shuang''s peaceful appearance this time, he was at a loss as to what to do.


    "What''s going on with Eldest Young Master Fang today?" Didn''t Ling Wan cook for you in the morning? Cha Zi, bring a bowl of vegetable porridge over! "


    Cha Zi quickly went to the small kitchen at the back and brought out a bowl of vegetable porridge, which she placed on the table near the window. Fang Heng looked at the vegetable porridge in the porcelain bowl.


    He mysteriously sat down, picked up the bowl of porridge, and began to eat.


    Ling Shuang was extremely surprised, this Fang Heng actually dared to eat her food. Initially, she only wanted to humiliate him a little, but this time he hated Fang Heng for eating so much. If he knew earlier, he wouldn''t have wasted so much effort and directly poisoned Fang Heng''s bowl, allowing him to exchange the antidote with his.


    "Fang Heng, aren''t you afraid that the porridge has poison?"


    Fang Heng''s expression froze, he then finished the remaining half bowl of porridge and looked at Ling Shuang: "The taste of the porridge is very good, it''s something you thought of, right? "I didn''t expect ¡­"


    Ling Shuang interrupted him with a cold laugh: "There are still a lot of things that you did not think of. Since you''ve finished eating, then please leave!"


    "Ling Shuang!" Fang Heng was also the descendant of the Fang Family, who wouldn''t give him face? It was only this woman that was cold and harsh towards him, she couldn''t help but voice out in anger.


    Ling Shuang suppressed her curiosity and closed the cover of the book, feeling sleepy. Fang Heng awkwardly looked at the man who hated him so much, and her heart could not help but throb. In the past, she would carefully pester him every time she returned to the garrison, afraid that she would say something wrong that would make him unhappy.


    "Ling Shuang!" Fang Heng''s heart could not help but be enraged and wanted to grab Ling Shuang''s wrist, but Ling Shuang dodged quickly and used the dagger in her sleeve to point at Fang Heng''s neck, cutting a thin cut through, causing blood to seep out.


    "Ling Shuang, you still like me, don''t you? I already completely know that you and Fang Yu are only acting right? You still have me in your heart, don''t you? Otherwise, why would you marry into the Fang Family and purposely anger me? Shuang Er! Let''s not go on like this, if you''re willing... I... I will also marry you, you just need to be with Fang Yu and Li Yurou, I will not make things difficult for him, "The grief in Fang Heng''s eyes deepened, could it be that the relationship between the two of them has really reached the point of life and death? But he didn''t believe it.


    "Fang Heng, are you f * * king crazy?" Ling Shuang was truly convinced by Fang Heng. Did this trash''s brain end up in the ditch?


    "Ling Shuang?" Fang Heng looked incredulously at the ice-cold murderous intent in Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes.


    "Scram!" Ling Shuang had thought that she would be able to get some information about the Fang Residence from this guy''s mouth.


    Fang Heng was pulled out of the pavilion by Ling Shuang.

 C49

    The Mrs Fang in the Cheng Jin Tang could no longer sit still. Standing in the middle of the Warm Pavilion, he coldly looked at the crying Ling Wan and also the Fang Heng who didn''t know what to do.


    Two days had passed, and his precious daughter had actually gone missing? She did not hesitate to use all of her power, Fang Family and the Chen family, to turn the entire capital upside down.


    "Ling Wan." The Mrs Fang walked in front of the trembling Ling Wan and said, "Yue''er followed you to Dragoncry Temple to burn some incense that day, why are you the only one who came back? Why are you not in the temple when burning incense, but in the Zen courtyard at the foot of the mountain? The maidservants clearly saw the two of you walk in together, but you were the only one who came out? "Speak!"


    The corner of Ling Wan''s mouth twitched, she didn''t dare say such things!


    "Mother!"


    Just based on your status as a Aunt and Young Grandmother, you think you''re qualified to call me mother? Someone! "Slap!" Mrs Fang was about to go crazy, his daughter knew very well.


    Fang Yue had been spoiled by him, and although he was usually arrogant and powerful, he wasn''t very good with the human world. This girl Ling Wan looked weak, delicate, but was actually the most scheming one. Even if it was as she had said, the reason Ling Shuang had truly gotten involved in this matter was because of Ling Wan.


    It must be because this slut in front of him urged her from the side. If not, how would Fang Yue be able to offend that mother Yaksha of his?


    Thinking up to here, the Mrs Fang became even more furious, clenching his teeth and merciless attacks from both sides. Ling Wan''s usually tender and delicate face instantly became swollen. The corner of her lips had also been cut, and traces of blood seeped out.


    Although Fang Heng was also very angry, Ling Wan acted on his own accord and took Fang Yue out of the Fang Residence in such a troublesome matter, and even lost his own sister. But seeing that she was after all pregnant with his own child, and that he was in such a pitiful state, he quickly kneeled in front of Mrs Fang.


    "Mother, please forgive Wan''er!" She didn''t know anything at the moment. Besides, Wan-Er was pregnant. I will forgive her for your grandson''s sake! "


    If not for Ling Wan carrying his son''s blood and bone, not to mention slapping him, perhaps he would have already been pulled out by her staff and killed.


    "Ling Wan, let me ask you one more time, you must tell me the truth, don''t hide anything, if not, so what if you are pregnant? After you give birth to your child, I can still make you live a life worse than death! "


    Ling Wan''s body trembled, she knew that Mrs Fang''s words were definitely not an exaggeration. After she rebelled against the Ling Family, her mother no longer had anyone to rely on. She thought that with her wrist, she would be able to hold Fang Heng tightly in her hands. If she was able to have a son in the future, with her position as the Fang Family''s Eldest Young Mistress, why would she need to worry?


    But who would have thought that ever since Ling Shuang came, everything had gone out of her control? Mrs Fang''s words were obviously a warning, if she wanted to get the position of the Fang Family''s Eldest Young Mistress in the future, Mrs Fang would probably reject it first.


    She was unwilling, and hated Ling Shuang so much in her heart, if not for him, she would not have ended up like this.


    Ling Shuang, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!


    "Madam, Madam, listen to me," Ling Wan kneeled beside Mrs Fang''s feet, heavily kowtowing until his forehead began to leak with blood, and said slowly, "Little Sister and I were a little tired after incense was served at the Dragon Cry Temple, so Little Sister suggested that we rest in the Zen Courtyard at the foot of the mountain. Who knew that Ling Shuang would suddenly appear and send people to kidnap my sister. I was lucky enough to hide in a cave inside the fake mountain. Madam is enlightened! "


    "Ling Shuang has been staying in the East Garden for the past few days. Fang Heng couldn''t help but frown. In order to avoid responsibility, Wan''er pointed her spear at Ling Shuang and thought that she shouldn''t have, and she couldn''t help but blurt out.


    Ling Wan never thought that at this point, her husband would actually speak up for other women, and wanted to bite Fang Heng.


    "Henglang! Wan''er knows that you still think about your old relationship with her, but a girl like Ling Shuang was never a normal person. She was skilled in martial arts, so what kind of things couldn''t she do? "


    "In order to save Fang Yu, what kind of method would she not use? If it wasn''t for Fang Yu, why did he only kidnap his little sister Yue''er? The others weren''t hurt at all? Even when I was hiding in the fake mountain, she didn''t send anyone to look for me. Didn''t she have the intention of using Yue''er to exchange for Fang Yu? "


    Fang Heng was completely stumped by her words, and immediately became speechless. On the other hand, Mrs Fang felt that Ling Wan was not lying this time. Seeing that Mrs Fang was moved by his words, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    At least Mrs Fang did not know that from start to finish, she had completely destroyed this matter. No matter what, as long as Mrs Fang hated Ling Shuang more, she would be satisfied.


    "Madam!" Suddenly, Ling Wan''s expression turned into one of extreme grief and indignation, she bent down and said with a trembling voice, "Madam, that Ling Shuang is exceptionally vicious, to vent her anger, I am afraid that she will harm Yue''er, I hope that Madam can save Yue''er early!"


    Fang Heng felt that Ling Wan''s words were reasonable, but the woman he saw in the East Garden earlier seemed to be very proud, why would he do such a despicable thing? For a moment, he was at a loss as to who was lying. He suddenly felt tired and wanted to hide far away from these disputes.


    "Aunt and Young Grandmother! Aunt and Young Grandmother! " Seeing Ling Wan lying weakly on the ground, the maidservant could not help but panic.


    This time, Ling Wan did not really faint, it was true that she had been tricked by Ling Shuang in the past few days, and her entire body was filled with exhaustion.


    Mrs Fang looked at her fragility and closed his eyes. No matter how scheming Ling Wan was, she was still a timid woman. But Ling Shuang... She suddenly opened her eyes. Forget it.


    Damn it! Why isn''t he here yet? Could it be ¡­ No, Mrs Fang wouldn''t be able to find Fang Yue, although Gu Xiao Yun was not a big deal, she still believed in the way wind and rain tower hid people.


    "Eldest Miss, Madam is here!" Cha Zi immediately went to the garden at the back of the East Garden to report.


    Ling Shuang was startled, after that she gently put down the porcelain pot in her hand, her lips curled up in a sharp curve and slowly said: "Go, let''s go take a look!"

    When the master and servant had just turned to the front hall, they saw that only Mrs Fang was sitting alone on a chair. His eyes were filled with bloodthirsty hatred, but his face was as light as a feather.


    It really was the old granny. Her cultivation was very deep, Ling Shuang stopped at the entrance of the hall and slowly walked in.


    "Ling Shuang, you are so capable!" Mrs Fang gnashed her teeth.


    "Cha Zi, you go down first!"


    "Yes sir!" Cha Zi left the hall and closed the door.


    Ling Shuang walked in front of the Mrs Fang indifferently, she slouched down on a chair and looked at the Mrs Fang, enduring his anger patiently: "Compared to you, I am nothing, and actually eliminated the Auntie Ge''s mother and son in one night, how could you not let a child go?"


    "These are not things that you should be concerned about," Mrs Fang did not want to bicker with Ling Shuang, she suddenly stared at him and asked, "Where''s Yue Er?"


    "How should I know? You have to ask Ling Wan! " Ling Shuang knew that she had to keep her cool the longer she got to this point. She poured herself a cup of tea and lightly sipped on it.


    "Ling Shuang, don''t go too far. I have many ways to make Fang Yu die without a burial ground," Mrs Fang suddenly stood up. She had always thought that he had the best self-control, but every time he met Ling Shuang, there would be times where he couldn''t control his anger.


    Ling Shuang remained unmoved as she sipped her tea and looked at Mrs Fang sideways. The more impatient Mrs Fang became, the more opportunity she would have.


    In fact, Ling Shuang had mixed feelings about it right now. When she had met Fang Yu in Ministry of Justice Prison that day, although Fang Yu had hidden it well, the thick stench of blood was still not hidden from her nose.


    Right now, it was decided to see who would be the first to lose their cool. Ling Shuang hardened her heart and did not reveal too much of her worry for Fang Yu in front of the Mrs Fang.


    "Ling Shuang, stop pretending! Ling Wan has already admitted it, you were the one who kidnapped Yue''er at the Dragoncry Temple, and you still dare to quibble?!"


    With a "huala" sound, Mrs Fang swept the tea cup on the table to the ground.


    "Mother, this isn''t right!" "It''s good, but it''s also good. The Fang Residence is a big family, and you have to spend money to buy anything. You must be truly a prodigal to smash things in such a fit of rage!"


    "You!" Mrs Fang was trembling in anger, but if she were to slap him again, she would definitely be afraid.


    Ling Shuang knew that the time was right, so she slowly stood up and stretched as she looked at Mrs Fang: "Fang Family is very playful, maybe he lost his way, or maybe he met some evil people."


    Mrs Fang closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "As long as you can divulge Yue''er''s whereabouts, I''ll think of a way to help Fang Yu get rid of the crime."


    Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes were filled with overflowing anger. Fang Yu had been wrongly accused by her in the first place, but now that he had spoken in such a dignified manner, he suppressed her anger right away.


    "I will only tell you Fang Yue''s whereabouts if I want to meet him first," Ling Shuang said indifferently.


    "Impossible!" Mrs Fang''s expression suddenly became dark and cruel.


    Ling Shuang laughed coldly, then sat back on the chair and said slowly: "Fang Yu is also a tough guy, although he will not kill himself if he suffers a little. Furthermore, His Highness has always thought highly of his character and protected him well. I feel that, rather than Fang Yu coming out to work for the Master Dean, it would be better for him to stay in the prison for a few days to enjoy good fortune. "


    Mrs Fang opened his eyes wide. He did not expect Ling Shuang to think like this, there were even people who stayed in the prison to enjoy life.


    When Ling Shuang saw the ashen faced Mrs Fang, she couldn''t help but burst out laughing: "If a delicate Eldest Miss like Fang Yue were to fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, he probably wouldn''t even last a day, tsk tsk ¡­ "What a pity."


    Mrs Fang was so angry that his hands and feet were ice-cold. His entire body also started to tremble, and only after a long time did he manage to calm himself down and look at Ling Shuang: "You will see him tomorrow morning."


    She then turned and left the East Garden, her back ramrod straight, but to Ling Shuang, she looked extremely miserable and depressed.


    "Eldest Miss." Cha Zi had also heard Mrs Fang''s words, and upon walking in, he had an expression of extreme joy.


    "Silly girl!" Ling Shuang smiled slightly, "Take some silver and go out to buy some good wine and dishes. Also, buy some good Golden Sore Medicine, ginseng and other supplements as well.


    "Miss, can we leave now?"


    Ling Shuang laughed: The Mrs Fang has come before, can we still not go out?


    The next morning, a new piece of news spread throughout the capital. The big murder case in Fang Family finally had an idea. It turned out to be the servant Xiang Zhui who was by Second Young Madam''s side. Because Auntie Ge did not bother with her and did not mention anything to her, he harbored hatred in his heart. Afterwards, he failed to seduce the Second Young Master, but after that, he became dissatisfied and killed the Auntie Ge to frame him.


    Xiang Zhui became the victim in the hands of the Mrs Fang.


    Three days later, Xiang Zhui was executed in the market in front of the Xuanyuan Martial Gate for poisoning and framing his master. When he died, even when his tongue was cut off, his crazy, howling manner frightened many people.


    Fang Family''s carriage slowly stopped in front of the Fang Residence''s entrance. Fang Yu was helped off the carriage and went to Fang Xiu Wen''s study to greet him.


    "You''re back?" Fang Xiu Wen''s voice was weak. The death of his youngest son had become a headless crime, he knew that Fang Yu was not the culprit, but he still felt uncomfortable looking at him. After all, it was because of him, so when Fang Yu saw his own father, he also lowered his eyebrows slightly.


    "Your child has scared father," Fang Yu said respectfully.


    "Go down!"


    Fang Yu silently walked past, he had nothing to say.


    "Halt!" Fang Heng''s bite muscles tightened.


    "Big brother?" Fang Yu turned his head and smiled innocently.


    Fang Heng said coldly: "Take care of your wife and stop messing around. Fang Family can''t take her torture."


    A haze swept across Fang Yu''s handsome face. Could it be that this girl had done something stupid again?


    Seeing Fang Heng''s expression, Ling Shuang thought that this time, the commotion was huge, if not the Mrs Fang would not have let him out so quickly. It''s just that she''ll be fine, right? If she didn''t listen and put himself in danger, he would definitely spank her!

 C51

    The door of the East Garden was wide open, all the servants sent by the Mrs Fang had already left. Fang Yu quickly walked into the courtyard of the East Garden, feeling a little tired of coming back home.


    Ling Shuang was still wearing her unique silver skirt, and her long hair flowed in the wind like a waterfall. She stood in the courtyard and looked at Fang Yu with a smile.


    "How has Fang Yu been?" Ling Shuang''s phoenix eyes contained tears, and a thin smile hung on her lips.


    "You little girl," Fang Yu walked over in large strides and hugged her tightly, trying his best to smell the fragrance in her hair.


    "Tell me, what did you do? for them to let me out so easily? " This time, Fang Yu was truly embarrassed. He was trapped in the prison and was unable to escape, so he still had to endure all the crimes that were forced on him.


    The most frightening thing was what kind of shocking thing had the girl in her arms done that caused Mrs Fang to be at a loss for what to do.


    Ling Shuang was a little guilty as she laughed: "Are you hungry? I cooked some delicious food for you. When I was trapped in the East Garden for the past few days, my culinary skills had improved a lot. Do you want to try some? "


    "They locked you in the East Garden?" Fang Yu''s expression suddenly sank, and his expression became as cold as frost.


    "Don''t even think about it. Look, aren''t we all fine now?"


    "Answer my question," Fang Yu said as she stared into Ling Shuang''s eyes. Although that pair of phoenix eyes were exceptionally cunning, all of the fluctuations in that pair of eyes could not even reach Ling Shuang''s.


    "Hehe!" I was the one who kidnapped your sister and had her change with Mrs Fang, how about it? " Ling Shuang carefully examined Fang Yu''s expression. After all, Fang Yue was his little sister and she didn''t know if Fang Yu would be angry or not if she acted like this.


    "Are you hurt?" Fang Yu did not care about what happened to the vile Fang Yue at all. His entire family started to disappear from him when he was five years old.


    He had thought that in his lonely life, there would never be a trace of warmth, nor would there ever be the word ''love''. But he was wrong, the moment he saw Ling Shuang standing at the entrance of Fang Family, he was immediately shocked.


    The decisive way Ling Shuang tore his brother''s marriage certificate into pieces made him feel that he had found someone similar to her. He just did not expect that he would treat her with such deep affection. The more it was like this, the more he felt afraid, why did he treasure Ling Shuang so much, and why was his heart so worried about his gains and losses?


    He always felt that something would be taken away from him, and he was now treated as a treasure.


    Fang Yu opened Ling Shuang''s palm and examined her fingers one by one.


    "What''s going on?" Fang Yu''s face turned cold.


    Ling Shuang could not help but laugh, this was all cut up by her when she was assembling those things, wasn''t this person being a little too attentive?


    "It''s okay, I got wind and rain tower to make a bunch of good stuff, when you rest, I''ll bring you there," Ling Shuang said as he thought about how Fang Yu would be shocked when he saw her flying machines, arrows, spears, Swiss Daggers and the like.


    "En, good," Fang Yu turned his head and looked at Cha Zi and Yan Hong who had rushed back from the Ling Family, "How did your young miss kidnap Fang Yue?"


    "My young mistress has changed her appearance ¡­"


    "Yan Hong, shut up!" Ling Shuang hated that she couldn''t throw Yan Hong''s mouth away. She was so happy that she forgot to tell the truth to the three of them.


    Fang Yu squinted his eyes slightly, but her face was filled with coldness, and even Ling Shuang could not take it anymore.


    "Hey!" Fang Yu! " Ling Shuang pushed him to turn around, as if he was truly a little angry.


    Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Miss, Young Master is very smart, I can''t hide anything from you," she said to Fang Yu, "Young Master, it''s like this, don''t be angry at Miss, there''s nothing you can do about it."


    "Speak!" Fang Yu''s cold face made people panic.


    Yan Hong braced herself and said, "That bitch Ling Wan and Fang Yue had conspired to hire Liu Ye, the bandit from the Jianghu. She was going to drug Miss Mu and bring her out from the East Garden, then hand her over to Chen Yuan and sell her off to that kind of people ¡­"


    Yan Hong was embarrassed to continue, and mumbled: "Go to such a lowly place, then Miss captured Chen Yuan and asked such a conspiracy. She decided to play the trick and asked the wind and rain tower to help him. She made a human skin mask. That''s why you captured Fang Yue and threatened him to release you, Young Master. "


    The two servant girls by Ling Shuang''s side, Cha Zi was steady and steady, Yan Hong was lively and lively.


    This time, Yan Hong''s mouth was quite eloquent as she narrated the entire matter in an extremely clear manner.


    Ling Shuang saw that Fang Yu''s face was turning ugly, and thought to himself, Not good. Cha Zi, who was still in shock, pulled Yan Hong out of the warm room and closed the door from the outside.


    Ling Shuang was instantly struck dumb. These two inhumane people clearly knew that after Fang Yu got angry, they were extremely terrifying.


    "That ¡­" Ling Shuang licked her lips and said slowly, "There is my porridge in the kitchen, I will go and bring it over for you."


    "Halt!" Fang Yu walked over with a cold face. Ling Shuang subconsciously took a few steps back, the powerful aura coming from Fang Yu''s body made it hard for her to breathe.


    Looking at this guy in front of him who was pretending to be innocent, the anger in Fang Yu''s heart flared up.


    This time, even if Ling Shuang did not make a move, his plan would still take effect after a month. This time, when he returned to Fang Family, in order to hide her true strength, he did not want to reveal too much. Almost all his subordinates had been banned from entering the capital. Who would have thought that she would be caught off guard?


    But if that person didn''t wait for him at the restaurant near the Yuxiu River, he would promptly inform everyone. Not to mention the tiny Mrs Fang, even the emperor himself would have to invite him out within a month. Who would have known that this little girl was too paranoid to deal with so many things. If he hurt her because of him, he definitely wouldn''t forgive himself, and also wouldn''t forgive her.


    "Fang Yu, listen to me explain," Ling Shuang had never seen such a stern and cold Fang Yu, and couldn''t help but feel a little guilty.


    She had not been able to see through him to begin with, but now she felt a natural fear. Ling Shuang couldn''t help but feel astonished at her feelings. She had never feared anyone before, but the first person who made her feel this way was actually Fang Yu?


    "You''re too daring!"


    "I ¡­"


    "What if the wind and rain tower''s human skin mask does not pass? What if Ghost Willow Leaf''s knockout drug is something you''ve never seen before and can''t deal with? "What if anyone knows who you are?"


    "Yes, you, Ling Shuang, are not afraid of the heavens or the earth! Your martial arts are high and you look down upon all beneath your feet, but if you make one small mistake, you will be doomed for good! Do you know that?!"

 C52

    "AHH!" Ling Shuang only felt the sky spin and the earth spin as her entire body was fiercely grabbed by Fang Yu and forced to lie on his leg.


    "I''ll let you have some memory!" Fang Yu lightly pressed down on her acupuncture points and then heavily slapped her butt.


    Ling Shuang''s face was completely red, she was too embarrassed to live, it was the first time in her life that someone had spanked her.


    "I told you not to discuss anything with me!" Pa! Pa!


    "I will put you in danger! I''ll make you not care about yourself! " Pow! Pow!


    "Wuwuwu ¡­" It hurt! Fang Yu, I will kill you! " Ling Shuang struggled only to feel a few pages of papers hidden in his bosom to fall out, the surroundings instantly becoming much more dignified.


    Damn it! At that time, she had placed all of these scrolls into the secret compartment. When Fang Yu returned today, he would definitely take a look at the good stuff that she had hidden in the secret compartment.


    Ling Shuang only took it out and placed it in her pocket because she was afraid that Yue Yang would see the drawing on the note and had some kind of unexplained misunderstanding. She was prepared to deal with Fang Yu after he settled in later on, but who would have thought that he coincidentally fell out.


    He said so! Crown Prince Long Chen Yi went crazy and tortured him while he was still in prison. However ¡­ His complexion had also changed, his originally fair and handsome face now completely black. Looking at Ling Shuang''s stiff back, he coldly snorted.


    Ling Shuang really wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    "Shuang Er, when are you going to draw one for me too?"


    "Hehe, this is easy to talk about, easy to talk about, ah!"


    Pow! Pow! Pow!


    "I asked you to paint a nude portrait of another man!"


    "I asked you to draw!" "Hmm?"


    "I don''t dare!"


    "I asked you to draw!" I''ll let you draw! "


    "Pain!" You bastard! It hurt! Let me go! "Sob, sob, sob ¡­"


    Outside, Cha Zi and Yan Hong who were eavesdropping on the outside broke out in a cold sweat. Furthermore, Young Master''s jealousy and monstrous fury was really unbearable. Don''t look at how Young Master was a gentle and quiet man, it turns out he was a wolf wearing sheepskin?


    After everything that had happened recently, her young mistress was definitely not someone to be trifled with. To be able to make his young miss act like this, Young Master was truly a fierce person.


    Although he knew that Ling Shuang was by no means the kind of woman who was like flowers in water, but she was like a child who would never grow up, she was too mischievous.


    It was because of her unbridled and unrestrained attitude that attracted him deeply. However, when he thought of the men that disliked her, he could not suppress the anger in his heart and almost burned him to death.


    The person on his lap no longer wanted to resist. The silence made him feel a little regretful. Wasn''t his attack a bit too heavy?


    He lifted Ling Shuang up and carried him across her lap. He couldn''t help but panic as Ling Shuang''s eyes were filled with tears.


    "Shuang Er," Fang Yu was so frightened that he had never seen her cry before.


    He grabbed her by the neck and suddenly bent down to catch the pinkish lip that made his blood boil.


    Ling Shuang only felt that she had lost her heart, and was moved. She had held back for a long time, and now that she had released her senses, she could not take it anymore, and was kissed until she fell into Fang Yu''s strong embrace, with tears in her eyes she did not know whether to laugh or to cry.


    She sighed. Could it be that she really couldn''t go back? But would she really have the heart to abandon her relatives in that world?


    Fang Yu pressed against her forehead, gently gasping for breath, the scorching heat in his body gradually being suppressed by his strength.


    "Shuang Er, do you know how scared I am? Please don''t, don''t take such risks in the future? "Okay?"


    Ling Shuang turned her face sideways: "Put me down, we are only allies for half a year, I don''t think this kind of game is fun to play."


    Fang Yu suddenly raised her eyes, an inconceivable mixture of shock and fury could be seen in the depths of her eyes. She clearly had a feeling, he obviously liked him, why was he always so heartless?


    Fang Yu''s Adam''s apple rolled, he sighed and gently placed her on the bed, then pulled the blanket under her butt: "Sorry, my hand was a bit too heavy."


    Ling Shuang turned her head around in embarrassment, what the hell was going on? She liked him, he liked her, but not him.


    Fang Yu thought that Ling Shuang was angry because she made a move too heavily, but he was actually a little perturbed and carefully asked: "Does it still hurt? Shuang Er? Do you want me to massage it for you? "


    Ling Shuang suddenly turned her head and stared at him: "Scram!"


    Fang Yu was unconcerned, but instead, smiled.


    The word "scram" from Shuang Er completely put him at ease. It seemed that he had not moved this girl. And now, he had more and more love rivals. Other than that coquettish fox, there was also Long Chen Yi.


    The coldness in Fang Yu''s eyes became colder and colder. Long Chen Yi, I think you don''t want to be the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty anymore? It''s alright, I''ll definitely help you fulfill your wish to steal a woman from me?


    The Fang Residence''s gate shook once again. Fang Heng ordered the crowd to move aside, and then he walked out of the carriage with a gloomy face.


    Cheng Jin Tang hurriedly brought a few rough grandpas to the front of the carriage, and when she lifted the curtain to look, she could not help but be shocked.


    Fang Yue''s entire person was already on the verge of death, a sinister scar ran across his face, it was extremely shocking. Lifting up the outer robe covering it, his half naked body was covered in shocking green, red and purple marks.


    "Someone come!" and bring the Eldest Miss in! " Zhao mama was so frightened that her forehead was covered in sweat.


    Sure enough, after a while, a flinging of anger came from the Cheng Jin Tang. The Mrs Fang also smashed the Eastern Warm Pavilion''s Duo Baogg, causing the precious Jade Coral Fragment to fall on the ground.


    Her body trembled slightly as she looked at Fang Yue who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She had painstakingly nurtured him for more than ten years and after that, she was prepared to send him to the palace to be the Empress''s daughter. All destroyed.


    "Where did you find Yue Er?" The Mrs Fang''s cold voice carried a trace of an undetectable chill.

 C53

    "Under one underground area... Fang Heng''s voice trembled slightly as the anger in his eyes almost drove him crazy. Although he didn''t mind his sister''s domineering attitude, he was still a sibling after all, so his feelings were naturally deeper than others. This time, he said it with a bit of heartache.


    "Where are they?"


    "They were all controlled by your child and were locked in the house to wait for mother''s orders," Fang Heng replied.


    "Yes!" This child will do it right now! "


    "NO!" Let Housekeeper Li do it! Why would a direct descendant like you do such a dirty thing? It''s very inappropriate! "


    Fang Heng nodded his head: "Mother, your son will go ask the doctor to come over to take a look."


    "Hm!" "This matter is really too strange. When Yue Er wakes up, I want to get to the bottom of this."


    Cheng Jin Tang''s servant Yu Yan quickly left and went to West Garden in a hurry.


    "Elder sister Yuyan?" Chun Xi saw Yu Yan''s panic-stricken expression and immediately understood what had happened. He held her hand and pulled her inside.


    "Go! Aunt and Young Grandmother is waiting inside! "


    Yu Yan nodded her head. Previously, when her mother was severely ill, Ling Wan had spent money to cure her mother''s illness. After that, she often helped Ling Wan ask about the matters regarding the Mrs Fang.


    All of Mrs Fang''s preferences were learnt by Ling Wan through Yu Yan. Only then did Ling Wan gain Mrs Fang''s favor. However, the things he wanted to know about this time round could take her life. After listening to Yuyan''s report, Ling Wan gave her a heavy reward of silver taels and let her go back.


    Ling Wan closed her eyes, although she had accidentally cut Fang Yue''s face. But with Fang Yue''s personality, he would definitely not let her off, adding the viciousness of the Mrs Fang, once she found out that he was the one who planned this, even if she had a hundred lives, it would still not be enough for the Mrs Fang to kill her.


    No, Ling Wan suddenly sat up, looking at the two eared copper furnace that was releasing smoke, the coldness in her eyes was suddenly gone like lightning.


    She used all her might to stir up the kernels with the wind power embroidered on it. She definitely could not let Fang Yue wake up.


    When night fell, Ling Shuang was still sulking with Fang Yu, and even more so, should be sulking with herself. She shouldn''t have been moved. She didn''t belong here, so why couldn''t she just leave?


    As he held the honey snacks he bought on the streets, Fang Yu was a little depressed. What''s wrong with him? Why did he become so angry at Ling Shuang today? Could this be called the depth of his love, the most important part?


    "Shuang Er, do you want to eat the fresh dessert?" Fang Yu looked at her ingratiatingly, his eyes filled with stars.


    Ling Shuang''s mouth turned to the side as she ignored him. Even now, her butt still hurt!


    "Shuang Er, I will bring you around the Cloud Prefecture tomorrow," Fang Yu broke off a piece of dessert and very naturally placed it into Ling Shuang''s mouth.


    Ling Shuang couldn''t hold it anymore, she didn''t know where this snack came from, but it tasted soft and sweet to the mouth. If she didn''t eat it herself, who knows when this fellow would feed him!


    She took it and wolfed it down, then slowly asked, "What''s the fun in the Cloud Prefecture?"


    Ling Shuang was about to be choked to death by the Fang Family''s mansion, if she could go out and have a look, she would naturally be happier.


    "The Cloud Region is a place where I grew up in." The tenderness in the depths of Fang Yu''s eyes could not be hidden from Ling Shuang''s eyes, and he became increasingly interested in the Cloud Region.


    "Shuang Er, have you seen the present I prepared for you?"


    "That''s right!" You said you were going to give me a present, but isn''t this gift a bit too ridiculous? How could it be so far away in the Cloud Prefecture, just what kind of gift is it? "


    "Hur Hur Hur!" If I don''t tell you now, I''ll bring you along to see it with my own eyes! " Fang Yu smiled with some affection.


    "Oh yeah, I searched through all the gardens in Auntie Ge but I couldn''t find the Fructus Caryopteris," Ling Shuang suddenly remembered something.


    Fang Yu nodded and sighed: "Mother died in unknown circumstances, I snuck into the Fang Family to find the truth, I never thought that I would have a clue that was cut off. It''s all my fault, I really deserve to die! "


    Ling Shuang had never seen Fang Yu''s self-reproaching expression before. She quickly grabbed Fang Yu''s hand and tightly clenched it: "How can I blame you? Who would still be able to calm down when it came to his own mother? Unless he''s a heartless bastard! "


    Fang Yu''s heart warmed, and he held her hand behind his back: "Shuang Er, meeting you is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes!"


    "Tch!" Ling Shuang laughed embarrassedly, she waved her hand and said, "Since that''s the case, I''ll punish you to quickly prepare for our trip to the Cloud Region.


    "Yes, my wife is right. Your husband will go now," Fang Yu smiled slightly, thinking that it was time to report to that person that he had returned safe and sound. If he brought Shuang Er to see him, it was unknown if he would like it or not, but when he thought about that cold person, Fang Yu dispelled the idea of bringing Shuang Er to see him.


    "Fang Yu, there is one more thing," Ling Shuang suddenly thought of something, "Weren''t you working at Master Dean Jing Zhao Yin''s place? If we go to the Cloud Region to play Master Dean, would that mean that the Master Dean would object? "


    A hint of disapproval flashed past Fang Yu''s eyes as he slowly said: "I have already resigned from my position as a subordinate beside Master Dean."


    "What?" Ling Shuang looked at Fang Yu in disbelief. One must know that the current disciples of influential families were rushing to the Master Dean to become subordinate officials, making a lot of money and becoming officials faster. Furthermore, with Fang Yu''s identity and background, it wouldn''t even take a few years for him to become a noble and show off.


    Seeing Ling Shuang''s expression that was beyond her dreams, Fang Yu couldn''t help but find it funny. She smirked as she leaned over to look at her with her eyes and said slowly: "Shuang Er, are you a little disappointed?"


    "Huh?" Ling Shuang curled her lips, "What does it have to do with me? "After half a year, we''ll split up and go our separate ways. At that time, the sky will be clear and the birds will be free. It''s not like I''m willing to be trapped in your Fang Residence as a pampered official."


    Fang Yu''s expression turned cold. Right now, the thing he hated the most was Ling Shuang mentioning "half a year''s worth of time" from time to time. However, this half a year had to be a promise between him and Ling Shuang initially. If he knew that he would be the first one to fall, he might as well make a life contract.


    The more he thought about it, the more he became depressed and said slowly, "Shuang Er, don''t worry. In half a year, we will leave each other and I''m not that kind of rogue."


    After Fang Yu finished speaking, he left the Warm Pavilion and went into the east wing.


    However, Ling Shuang could not fall asleep no matter what, and stared at the peaceful moon outside. Is he angry?


    Forget it, I won''t be able to resolve any problems if I overthink things. Sleep for a while, it will be a new start tomorrow.


    "Eldest Miss, wake up," early in the morning the next day, Cha Zi walked in quickly and hurriedly woke Ling Shuang who was still in her sleep.


    "What''s wrong?" Ling Shuang''s face was filled with astonishment, she knew that she was very angry when she woke up, she had never been willing to disturb her sleep, what was going on with her today?


    "Fang Yue... Fang Yue is dead! "

 C54

    "What?" When Fang Yue was carried back here yesterday, Ling Shuang had even sent people over to take a look. Although he was unconscious, it was not enough for him to die after a night''s sleep.


    The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became. She didn''t expect the curtain outside to be lifted and instead, Fang Yu walked in wearing an azure-colored gown embroidered with plum patterns.


    "Yes, Eldest Miss." Cha Zi hurriedly walked out.


    The corner of Fang Yu''s robes lifted as he sat on the side of Ling Shuang''s bed. Looking at the pair of phoenix eyes that was cautiously looking at him, he smiled slightly: "Shuang Er, she plotted against you and now that she is dead, it is a well-deserved punishment. In the entire Fang Family, there are no relatives other than you and me. "


    Ling Shuang was stunned. She did not expect him to say something like that, and her heart immediately calmed down, but there was a tinge of coldness in her eyes.


    Yes, she would definitely not sympathize with Fang Yue, if she had not caught him in advance and made him aware of their conspiracy. It was probably him who was lying on the bed and standing up, and it wasn''t a pity for him to die.


    "Shuang Er, I just feel that it''s a pity. If it''s like this, we won''t be able to go to the Cloud Region!" Fang Yu held Ling Shuang''s hand gently.


    "What nonsense?" Fang Yu held her tightly, "I will definitely not let you have any mishap, I am just a little regretful right now."


    "Regret what?"


    "I shouldn''t have let you fall into the chaos within the Fang Family and implicate you in vain."


    "No, I, Ling Shuang, haven''t had such a good time in a long time. Since they want to play this game to the end, I, Ling Shuang, will accompany them to the end."


    "Let''s pack up and go to the front hall to take a look," Fang Yu said as he tidied up the hair beside Ling Shuang''s ear. He had only been waiting for half a year, if he still could not find out what his mother''s cause of death was in half a year, then forget it. The dead were dead, he wanted to live well with Ling Shuang.


    The main hall in the front courtyard of the Fang Residence was already solemn. All the colorful curtains had been removed and replaced with black and white. From behind the tent, the faint weeping of the servants beside Fang Yue could be heard.


    It seemed that the Spirit Palace was set up in the main hall. Ling Shuang could not help but be surprised. Previously, when Auntie Ge and the Third Young Master had died, they had not seen such a huge battle. Now, after the death of a direct descendent of the Fang Residence, she actually managed to catch up to the manager''s mother''s funeral ceremony.


    As expected, Mrs Fang doted on her daughter, but that was all she could do. If he had known earlier, Mrs Fang would have shown more restraint and modesty in educating his children. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have brought about such a disaster on his own.


    Ling Shuang suddenly shifted her gaze to Ling Wan, who was bowing down next to Fang Heng.


    Ling Shuang could not help but sneer, she had still underestimated Ling Wan''s methods. Ling Wan was like a gambler who had lost his life.


    With just that one look, Ling Shuang knew that Ling Wan was the real killer behind Fang Yue''s death. As expected, she was strong enough to kill Fang Yue right under Mrs Fang''s noses.


    "Father, mother," Fang Yu bowed slightly towards Ling Shuang, causing the voices in the room to immediately become quieter. Everyone looked at Fang Yu and his wife with fear and shock in their eyes, as if they were demons wearing human robes.


    "Mn, forget about it, there''s no need for formalities," Fang Xiu Wen''s body suddenly became a lot more hunched, a bit of white hair growing out from his temples, he waved his hand at Fang Yu and Ling Shuang, appearing extremely dejected.


    Mrs Fang looked at the two with deep hatred hidden in his eyes. If not for these two bastards, how could his daughter have met with such an accident?


    "Ling Shuang! Yue Er has become like this, why aren''t you letting her go? " Fang Heng looked at Ling Shuang with grief.


    It was that funny again! Ling Shuang almost attacked with her fist.


    "Big brother! Do you have any other skills besides being bewitched by women and being splashed with dirty water? " Ling Shuang said coldly.


    Fang Heng''s face suddenly flushed red, and just as he was about to say something, Fang Yu interrupted him: "Big Brother, may I ask, how did Yue''er die? Why did you start questioning Shuang Er? "Last night, the two of us were separated for so long, yet we had actually been drinking at night and weren''t in the mood to kill each other."


    "You all still dare to quibble?!" Fang Heng pointed to a piece of Ling Family Jade on the table and said, "In Yue''er''s room, there is a Soul-Breaking Incense burning in the incense burner, it is extremely toxic. Not only Yue Er, but even the two little girls that served Yue''er, Yuyan and Zi Qin were poisoned to death, and a jade pendant that only Ling Family had laid by her bed! "


    Ling Shuang was simply unable to endure anymore and suddenly turned to glare at Ling Wan who was beside Fang Heng. "She was once a Ling Family too! Why don''t you ask your wife about it? You should also ask your wife what she did to Fang Yue! You are the direct descendant of the Fang Family! Do you have any brains? "


    "Ling Shuang!" Fang Heng''s face immediately flushed red.


    "Elder Sis, I know you hate me, but I don''t even dare to kill a chicken. Why do you need to frame me like this? Moreover, back then when I was brought into the Fang Residence by the Henglang, I had already broken off my relationship with the Ling Family. I know you have a feud with Littlemoon, but you can''t... "I can''t ¡­"


    "Ling Wan, you have always been on good terms with Yue''er''s servant girls. Help me analyze them, I don''t understand that Yuyan is a girl by my mother''s side, why would she die in Yue''er''s house without reason? "Why do you think that is?" Fang Yu sneered.


    Ling Wan''s heart thumped, but she looked towards the Mrs Fang and said: "Madam, Wan''er thinks that she has never offended second brother, yet she suffered such injustice for no reason.


    Fang Yu sneered. He had to eliminate this woman, Ling Wan, or should he just let Shuang Er vent her anger on her?


    "Enough!" Mrs Fang''s voice was hoarse, but his face was still as calm as death, "I won''t pursue this matter any further, you all better take care of yourselves."


    Ling Shuang and Fang Yu, as well as that Ling Wan, were all deeply shocked. Disappointment was slightly expressed on Ling Wan''s face, she originally thought that with that jade pendant, she would definitely be able to take Ling Shuang''s life.


    Fang Yu frowned. The more composed Mrs Fang was, the more he felt that this matter will not end peacefully. He and Shuang Er should be careful when dealing with this matter.


    However ¡­ Fang Yu looked at the pitiful Ling Wan and sneered. This woman actually dared to use such a malicious method to deal with Shuang Er.

    There were many unforeseen events happening in the Fang Family and there were even rumors that the Fang Family must have been contaminated with something unclean. These rumors became more and more intense, causing Fang Xiu Wen to be unable to sit still any longer.


    He decided to hire the mages from the Dragoncry Temple to make a training hall in Fang Family.


    As Fang Yue''s funeral had just been completed, the Fang Residence was still dark and gloomy, the Mrs Fang was also severely ill.


    In the entire Fang Family, the only person who was relatively relaxed was Ling Shuang, the person who lived in the East Garden.


    She realised that Fang Yu was exceptionally talented in this area, with just a few strokes, he was able to convey the meaning behind Ling Shuang''s words, and his accuracy was comparable to a modern designer.


    "I want to see what your brain is made of?" Ling Shuang snatched the guitars drawing from Fang Yu''s hands, looked at it in disbelief for a while, and then started to study Fang Yu''s forehead.


    Fang Yu looked at Ling Shuang lovingly, without a hint of embarrassment on his face, allowing her to beat around the bush on her forehead with great pleasure.


    If Fang Yu''s subordinates saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. Was this really the leader of the underworld, the one who had killed countless people without showing any mercy?


    Ling Shuang had to say that Fang Yu was too entranced by her description of the guitar. If she didn''t know Fang Yu very well, he would have thought that he was wearing it.


    "Oh yeah, you want to sell this to Gu Xiao Yun?" Fang Yu only recently found out that Gu Xiao Yun and his wife were actually so close, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.


    "I can also give you silver," Fang Yu''s peach blossom eyes flashed with a strange color, "Not only silver, I have opened twenty-seven banks in Great Yan Dynasty, and there are also more than forty silks, thirty-two restaurants, sixteen wineries, and four salt iron workshops. Don''t tell anyone that they are prohibited by the Great Yan Dynasty. There were also eleven escort stations. There were two silver mines, two copper mines in Longxi County, and three salt fields in Jiangbei River ¡­ In short, I can''t remember too much of all the other shops, so I''ll give them all to you, okay? "


    Ling Shuang felt like she was struck in the head, a feeling of being stupefied.


    "Are you joking?" Ling Shuang felt that the more Fang Yu displayed his true strength, the more she panicked. She knew that although this guy liked to boast, he was serious with what he had said just now.


    But isn''t this too rich?


    "Fang Yu, I ¡­"


    "You think the wind and rain tower is very cool, so I''ll make one for you too, okay?" Fang Yu stared fixedly at Ling Shuang, and then carefully added, "Or we can destroy Gu Xiao Yun, and we can create something unique. What do you think?"


    "Fang Yu," Ling Shuang was so shocked by Fang Yu''s shocking words that he did not know what to say, "I just don''t understand, why are you still coming to the Fang Family to mix in this muddy water when you''re so powerful?"


    Fang Yu''s eyes dimmed slightly. "The reason I came to Fang Family earlier was to investigate the cause of death of my mother, and to watch as the people from Fang Family die one by one in front of me."


    Ling Shuang''s body trembled. Clearly, Fang Yu''s plan was in the process of being completed, but she was not happy for him at all. She discovered that Fang Yu''s expression had turned even more melancholy. Just how many things was he hiding from her?


    "Fang Yu, stop! "Okay?" Ling Shuang suddenly sighed: "You don''t like this, right? Mrs Fang has received the punishment that he deserved, and your father ¡­ Lost his two children ¡­ "So ¡­"


    "No, Ling Shuang, you don''t need to say anymore," Fang Yu suddenly turned around, as if he was trying to suppress his anger, but seeing the sorrow in his eyes, Ling Shuang''s expression changed.


    "Ling Shuang, even though you suffered a lot, the entire Ling Family had never bullied or bullied you like a pig or dog, so you have never been able to experience that kind of piercing pain." Fang Yu''s voice was hoarse.


    He suddenly stopped talking, and the air became heavy.


    The doubt in Ling Shuang''s heart grew stronger as she softly replied, "I heard from Auntie Ge that your father was very good to him back then, but later on ¡­"


    "Treat my mother well?" "Fang Yu suddenly turned around, her peach blossom eyes had already changed color, it was so deep that it caused people''s hearts to turn cold. He drooped his head in a daze as he spoke out crazily," If bringing my mother over to spend the night with other men is good for her, treating her as a ladder to an influential family is good for her, and to tear off her clothes in front of me while she''s begging for mercy, sullying her in front of her own son is good for her.


    Ling Shuang unbelievably staggered back a few steps, looking at the Fang Yu who seemed to be on the verge of breaking down, her heart had also crumbled into powder. No wonder the Mrs Fang was able to treat Fang Yu like that, no wonder no one in the entire residence thought much of him, and no wonder Fang Yue had once said that the second brother was a bastard child.


    Fang Yu''s appearance was too similar to his mother''s, to the point that even Fang Xiu Wen was not able to determine who his father was.


    "Have you kissed with blood before?" Ling Shuang subconsciously said this, but suddenly felt a bit of regret. What she wanted to say was, if she could marry with blood, Fang Yu would not be Fang Xiu Wen''s son. He could fully release her power. If she wanted to kill, she had to do so with a single word.


    Fang Yu sighed: "No, Fang Xiu Wen won''t give me the chance, maybe he won''t give me the chance. He really does like my mother to the extreme, and that''s why he''s afraid that I''m not his son and is even more afraid than I am. "


    "So this is also the true reason why you came to the Fang Family?" Ling Shuang finally thought it through, "You forced Fang Xiu Wen to end things with you, didn''t you?"


    Fang Yu nodded, then suddenly raised his eyes to the moonlight, the sorrow in his eyes dimmed a little, and he turned to Ling Shuang and smiled: "Shuang Er, you guessed half the things right. I would have forced him to hate me, hate me, force him to make that final decision. But with you, everything will be different. After half a year, no matter what happens, I''ll bring you away. "


    Ling Shuang was a little conflicted. She didn''t know whether or not she should tell him her ultimate secret, but she swallowed it in the end. Forget it, it''s good to have secrets from each other.


    "Miss, Young Master, Master is here! And bring a large group of monks and Taoists! " Yan Hong quickly walked in to report.


    "Monk, Taoist?" Ling Shuang did not know what the Fang Family was trying to do.

 C56

    When Fang Xiu Wen led a group of monks and priests to barge into East Garden, Ling Shuang was startled even though she was mentally prepared.


    After hearing what Fang Yu had said just now, Ling Shuang now looked at him with genuine contempt. Only this kind of disgraceful man would produce trash like Fang Heng.


    Under the night sky, Fang Xiu Wen''s beard fluttered, his face fair and clear, a set of simple scholarly robe gave rise to a sense of elegance.


    Clothes, animals! Ling Shuang thought to herself, today I have finally seen what a true beast of clothing is.


    Fang Yu had shown her the portrait of Fang Yu''s mother, it was truly outrageously beautiful. Just the picture itself was enough to shock the heavens. It could be imagined how crazy it was for those influential nobles to see such a beautiful girl in public. Yet, such a girl was fooled into acting like a beast in disguise.


    "Father, what are you doing?" Fang Yu acted very arrogantly, not showing any signs of disobedience.


    As expected, when Ling Shuang looked down, she saw a twitch in the corner of her eyes after hearing Fang Yu call his respectful father.


    What kind of abusive love was this? It was fine if they were adults, but why did they have Fang Yu experience so much pain?


    The more Ling Shuang thought about it, the more upset she became. Her attitude towards Fang Xiu Wen was clearly not as respectful as before.


    "Master!" The leading old man dressed in green bowed towards Fang Xiu Wen and said, "The killing intent in this courtyard is too strong and the yin energy is too weak. If it is not dispelled, the entire Fang Residence will be affected by this aura.


    Ling Shuang scoffed, hmph! Was there a need to be so flamboyant? Wasn''t he trying to chase her out of the Fang Residence? It seemed that Fang Xiu Wen was already tired of Fang Yu''s forced palace guard, or was he afraid?


    Ling Shuang looked at Fang Xiu Wen''s slightly lowered eyes. On his face that had already grown old, not a single hint of his true nature could be seen.


    "How can I dissolve it?" Fang Xiu Wen did not care about Fang Yu''s expression, the entire Fang Residence was his, and within the Fang Residence, he was heaven and earth, and did not need anyone''s guidance.


    Fang Yu''s brows fiercely furrowed, and subconsciously stood in front of Ling Shuang.


    That old Daoist still walked in front of Ling Shuang, but suddenly a talisman turned into ash and scattered across Ling Shuang''s face.


    "Path of Yao!" Is he courting death? " Fang Yu extended his hand out and grabbed onto that Taoist''s neck fiercely, causing his face to instantly turn purple and his widened eyes to be filled with fear.


    "Yu''er!" Presumptuous! This was the Fang Residence! Not a place where you can behave atrociously! " This was the first time Fang Xiu Wen scolded Fang Yu in such a strict manner. He did not give Fang Yu any face.


    The Fang Heng behind Fang Xiu Wen had a slightly cold smile on his face and ridicule in his eyes. A bastard was still a bastard after all.


    "Fang Yu!" Ling Shuang did not want to make Fang Yu lose control of himself over this small matter. Wasn''t his previous efforts to return to the Fang Family a waste?


    Fang Yu''s wrist loosened, and the old dao held onto his neck and started to cough violently. When he stood up and spoke, he dodged to a certain extent from Fang Yu.


    "Reporting to Prime Minister, this Second Young Madam''s killing spree is too heavy. The best way is ¡­"


    "Speak!" Fang Xiu Wen coldly swept his gaze at Fang Yu, but Ling Shuang saw a kind of obsession in Fang Xiu Wen''s eyes that was about to drive them out of the Fang Palace.


    The fat monk said slowly, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, the best way is to send the Second Young Madam alone to a remote place. We can send four women to guard it but no one is allowed to come in contact with anyone. I still need to use the blood from the Second Young Madam''s fingertip to write down scriptures that will allow me to surpass my limits. It will take at least seventy-nine days before I can completely dispel the hostility in Fang Residence. "


    Ling Shuang thought to herself, what a group of people who would kill without batting an eye, using her blood to write a scripture could actually think of such an abnormal thing? She just did not expect that this abnormal situation would be set by Fang Xiu Wen.


    It seems that she and Fang Yu had truly caused this entire family to roll their eyes! All of them wanted nothing more than to put Ling Shuang and Fang Yu to death so they could be quick about it.


    I''m afraid that at the end of the day, she would bleed to death. It was enough for her to live in this superstitious ancient world.


    "Father," Fang Yu suddenly grabbed Ling Shuang''s hand and looked at Fang Xiu Wen coldly. "Don''t worry about it, aren''t we both uncomfortable? Why spend so much money to hire a group of monks and Taoists to sing this play? "


    "Fang Yu," Ling Shuang carefully pulled at the corner of Fang Yu''s robes, is Fang Yu trying to reveal his cards to him? Not so fast, right? Isn''t there still half a year of time?


    Ling Shuang had previously thought that fighting to the death would be meaningless, but she never thought that she would let them go so easily.


    She did not want to leave Fang Family. Fang Xiu Wen had angered her, and she wanted to teach him a lesson. Just thinking about Fang Xiu Wen''s attitude towards Fang Yu''s mother made Ling Shuang uncomfortable.


    "Father, I will bring Shuang Er and leave the Fang Family right now."


    "Fang Yu, I can deal with it," Ling Shuang said in shock, and quickly stopped him.


    She knew the weight of Fang Yu''s words. If Fang Yu left Fang Family today, she would never be able to come back. It was true that Fang Yu had made a lot of money in the outside world by chance, but in this era of Great Yan Dynasty, where face was the most important thing, if he did not have a large clan carrying him, he would definitely be looked down upon.


    Ling Shuang did not care about those people who lived in the dark years, nor did she care about copying the scriptures with blood from her fingertips.


    But Fang Yu''s reaction was a little too much, she knew that it was because of his that Fang Yu was so angry.


    "Shuang Er, listen to me. I will have him personally bring us back to the Fang Family Main Residence in a few months!" Fang Yu turned and smiled at Ling Shuang.


    Where did you get your confidence from? Ling Shuang had no choice but to wail. You better not learn from that bitch Ling Wan! Back then when Ling Wan left the Ling Family, it was because she couldn''t continue on with the job.


    You, as a man, can''t get married. Once you''re kicked out, you''ll lose all face! Moreover, in the Great Yan Dynasty, without the protection of a clan, a man could never even think of establishing a career. He had been scolded to death.


    "Shuang Er, believe me," Fang Yu squeezed Ling Shuang''s hand, gently shook it, then turned to look at Fang Xiu Wen, "Father, there''s no need to make things too troublesome. Ling Shuang and I will leave right now!"


    Ling Shuang could only cover her forehead to express her obedience. She originally thought that she would be able to leave Fang Family after half a year when the time limit for her employment was up, but who would have thought that she would be kicked out so quickly.


    However, the disadvantage of a beauty was that it was a bit embarrassing! Some did?


    Fang Xiu Wen said coldly, "If you really bring yourself to bear, and if you leave the Fang Family tomorrow morning in front of everyone in the capital, I will still be half satisfied with you. My Fang Family does not have a disdainful son like you who would abandon his entire family just for a woman! If you really have the ability, then scram out in the day! "
