Chapter 61
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
When the matter reached this point, General Yu would definitely want Mu Shi to give him an explanation, but because of the presence of Lord Xu, it was not easy to attack her directly .
Yu Linglong looked at Mu Shi’s pale face, and she slowly showed a faint smile .
Lord Xu turned his head to look at Yu Linglong and was dumbstruck for a second .
The dimples at the corners of her mouth were faint, and the cold eyes were glorious . Nothing else in the world mattered except this incomparable beauty’s glistening and full smile .
Lord Xu whispered: “I once saw a poem in a book: A smile from a beautiful woman can bring down a city . I didn’t believe it . Now that I see you, I know there is such a smile in this world . ”
Before he finished speaking, the woman in front of him had her eyes down, and in an instant, the lotus-like face had returned to coldness .
“Have you seen enough of the excitement? You still haven’t left?” Yu Linglong got up and walked out without even looking at Lord Xu .
In the ancestral hall, Sorceress Bai glanced at Yu Linglong’s back .
She had finished chanting this scene according to her requirements . Seeing what Yu Linglong meant, she should be satisfied .
Sorceress Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to leave the Yu house in peace .
…
The dark clouds gradually dissipated . The bright sunshine once again fell on the back garden of the Yu house . By the lotus pond, Yu Linglong was walking slowly, and her slender figure reflected in the pool water, which was more vigorous and handsome than the fresh lotuses in the pond .
Under the scorching sun, the air next to the pond was clear, which broke up the blistering heat around some huge green leaves . Water droplets were scattered into tiny broken beads, rolling around on the lotus leaves, shining with dazzling brilliance, making the other long figure in the pool particularly eye-catching .
Lord Xu leisurely shook his fan, not far behind Yu Linglong . It was rare to see him not making noise, just quietly looking at the pond full of green lotuses, as if looking at some extremely unique scenery .
After a while, he said as if chatting: “Last summer, at about this time, I ordered people to collect the dew off the morning lotus leaves and use it to make tea . Well, I remember it was called Lushan Yunwu Tea, and it is said that it uses dew . It’s most fragrant when cooked in water . I tried it and it just tasted plain . ”
Yu Linglong looked up at the lotus pond, then turned her head, as if she hadn’t heard Lord Xu’s remarks .
The fan in Lord Xu’s hand was gradually closed, and he suddenly laughed in a low voice: “Did you make the ghost?”
Her beautiful eyes swept up lightly . Yu Linglong looked at him but still didn’t make a sound .
Lord Xu deliberately looked around . His deep eyes finally settled on her face, and he smiled: “It must have been you, right?”
With her eyebrows furrowed, Yu Linglong’s steps gradually accelerated, as if she wanted to get rid of this difficult guy behind her .
It’s really just gossip . Why did he ask about the inner house? This big man was rushing to hold her back . How could he even ask her about these trivial things?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
Seeing she was about to leave, the man behind her unexpectedly quickened his pace .
Yu Linglong was wearing a c.u.mbersome skirt, and her legs were naturally no longer than a man’s long legs . After only a few steps, Lord Xu rushed to her side . On his handsome face, his dark eyes narrowed, and Lord Xu resumed hara.s.sing her . “I know it was you . There are just a few people in your family, all of whom were in the ancestral hall today . Except for you, no one would dare instigate something like that . ”
Yu Linglong stopped abruptly . Her eyes were filled with frost, and she stared at Lord Xu fiercely .
Yes, it was her . She told Sorceress Bai to use evil things to trick Mu Shi into agreeing to summon the soul in the ancestral hall . Then she asked Sorceress Bai to use the convenience of living in Yu Qianfang’s courtyard to find out about Concubine Lan’s clothes and appearance . She even told Sorceress Bai how to summon the soul .
When Yu Qianfang designed the haunting thing in Pinlan Garden, she had already realized that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface . She ordered someone to inquire, and she found out that Concubine Lan, who lived in Pinlan Garden before, had died under odd circ.u.mstances .
Three years ago, General Yu hadn’t yet set off in northern Xinjiang . Concubine Lan was a special pet in the Yu house . Even before General Yu was about to set out, he wanted to take Concubine Lan with him, but she happened to be sick at that time . Mu Shi took the opportunity to leave behind Concubine Lan . As soon as General Yu left, Mu Shi was the only one in the Yu house, and Concubine Lan fell onto Mu Shi’s chopping block and she died inexplicably soon .
Yu Linglong ordered people to inquire about this matter, just to understand her own doubts, but she did not take it seriously . There were too many such things in large families . As long as her interests were not involved, she was not in the mood to help General Yu clean up his reputation .
This time, it was because of Mu Shi’s intervention in Pinlan Garden, which made her feel very upset . But with this little thing, Mu Shi also suffered a bit of a secret loss .
Since beating her couldn’t make the old woman honest, she let her suffer a bit of a dumb loss, and let General Yu take care of her to see if she was still honest .
This time, it was her turn to kill someone with a knife .
Lord Xu looked at the beautiful eyes that were guarded and laughed: “Linglong, I really like you more and more . ”
Seeing the sticky candy in front of her that couldn’t be beaten or shaken off, Yu Linglong was so angry that she waved her small hand and threw it out without thinking: “How much s.p.a.ce are you giving me? Go away!”
He must have become accustomed to Yu Linglong’s temperament of beating and scolding . This time Lord Xu reacted surprisingly quickly . The jade fan slammed open on Yu Linglong’s hand with a sigh, and then he returned to catch it . He reached for Yu Linglong’s waist and pulled Yu Linglong into his arms .
“Linglong—”
The person he wanted to get on intimate terms with made a movement, and he felt that his chest was. .h.i.t by a strong force, and he took a few steps back . Before he could stand upright, Yu Linglong’s second hand arrived . Then, he a.s.sumed an att.i.tude of not wanting to fall into the pond .
Lord Xu ducked, and forcibly avoided this lightning-fast fist!
Yu Linglong squinted her eyes slightly . This kid really had two chances!
Of course, she wouldn’t just let Lord Xu go like this . She missed the target with the palm of her hand and immediately turned back to change her move and grabbed Lord Xu from the waist .
Unexpectedly, the next moment, only a soft pop was heard . Yu Linglong was holding a belt inlaid with gold and jade, but it was empty .
Lord Xu lost his belt-bound gown and gently swayed in the breeze, but his smile was of triumphant ridicule: “Linglong, if you want to undress, we should go somewhere else!”
After all, Yu Linglong is a woman, and she was furious immediately upon hearing this: “You are looking for death!”
With a flick of her wrist, the belt in her hand immediately drew towards Lord Xu!
Lord Xu didn’t evade her . He grabbed the belt, wrapped his arm around her head, and firmly hugged Yu Linglong in his arms!
