[Hey--]
Jiang Yingcheng wrinkled his nose in disgust, stretched out two fingers, took out the small handkerchief specially prepared for her from the arms of her beauty Imperial Father, and wiped it randomly on her body: [Lifeng brother is so unhygienic, Chengcheng is wearing this outfit for the first time today--]
Jiang Lifeng looked embarrassed, and his cheeks quickly turned unnaturally red.
How does he not care about hygiene?!
I'm not all scared by your voice!!
But--
In my memory, there were indeed a few times when he was sending Ruihan back to Ding Residence. He bumped into Master Ding and ran out of the door in a hurry, claiming that a rich man had taken a liking to Ruihan and wanted to marry her. What a "the Tenth-Plus Concubine".
The next situation can be roughly summarized as--
She cried, he begged for mercy, she fainted, he paid...
Master Ding was content to leave, and the two bitter lovers hugged each other and cried.
It's not that he didn't want to pay a large amount of money at once to completely pull Ruihan out of such a quagmire, but for some reason his father suddenly changed his temper, insisting that excessive enjoyment would make people forget their roots, and refused to leave too much money on him.
Therefore, although he was well-dressed on weekdays, he actually had very little money in his Purse.
[Ahahahahahahaha--]
Another burst of "crazy" laughter successfully brought Jiang Lifeng's thoughts back to where they had wandered.
[Really?!]
[So silly, Chengcheng's brother Lifeng is really silly--]
She was obviously saying that she felt sorry for him, but her tone always felt a little...
Weird and strange?
Jiang Lifeng's expression was suspiciously frozen for a long time.
Not sure, he'd have to look again.
[Brother Lifeng was extorted money from Master Ding. After brother Lifeng left, he and sister Ruihan split the money 50-50, and both of them laughed happily!]
"Boom--"
The moment this heartfelt voice fell, a roar suddenly sounded in Jiang Lifeng's brain.
Fake!
Regardless of whether this voice comes from the little guy or not, its content must be false!!
The few times he handed over all his money to Master Ding, he would go through a short period of penniless days afterwards. Whenever that happened, Ruihan would use his private money to feed him, provide him with drink, and buy many Xiao Li things for him.
Every time he thinks about this friendship that provides help in times of need, he feels that he must have met the most beautiful woman in the world.
Even if she comes from a humble background, even if she is stuck in the quagmire, she will try her best to be good to him. How can he Jiang Lifeng be so virtuous and capable that such a beautiful woman can give her whole heart to him?!
So--
The content of this strange voice must be false!
False--
[Sister Ruihan is also a good trick. Whenever brother Lifeng has no money to eat, she will use one-tenth of the silver she received to buy brother Lifeng some cheap food, some low-quality tea, and some worthless trinkets given to her by others...]
[Brother Lifeng was so moved that he insisted that he would not marry anyone other than Qing in this life!]
Immediately following this inner voice was the little guy's serious tut-tsk sound.
[Touching the heavens and the earth, this true feeling is really touching the heavens and the earth!!]
Jiang Lifeng:"..."
Jiang Lifeng:"..."
His eyes moved down and he met those eyes that were red from crying, and his heart became entangled again.
The little guy is right.
Whenever that kind of time comes, what Ruihan brings to him are all trivial things that he would never come into contact with. Those Xiao Li things that he treasures so much are, in retrospect, accessories suitable for girls to wear.
At that time, he was deep in the whirlpool of sweetness, unconsciously ignoring the past, but once someone lifted this layer of window paper, the truth underneath was full of shrewd calculations, and there was no way to hide it.
Jiang Lifeng slightly opened his eyes, wanting to escape from this embarrassing past event for a short time.
He had completely believed what the little guy said in his heart.
After all, if the memory that only belongs to the two of them is not magical in nature, how can they know it so clearly even though they are thousands of miles away?!
Jiang Lifeng wants to escape, but some people don't want him to do so.
Duke Wang sighed, "Well, as I get older, I envy the energy of these young people. They risk their lives for love and spend all their money for love..."
After finishing speaking, Vicissitudes shook his head, as if he had countless emotions in his heart that he couldn't explain simply with a few words.
Jiang Lifeng:"..."
You little old man is so bad!
Don't think he didn't see it. When the little guy revealed his information in his heart, the little old man had been standing by, either frowning or raising his eyebrows, or sucking in cold air, obviously looking like he was enjoying himself!
To say such words after hearing this is simply far worse than the minister watching quietly next to him--
"Isn't it?" Ministry of Rites Minister Chu Jiaxu nodded solemnly with a calm face, "Emotions that are not bound by material things are the strongest, the most precious, and the most hard-to-get!"
The last sentence was deliberately prolonged, for fear that others would not be able to hear the cynicism in it.
Jiang Lifeng:"..."
You didn't let me go either!
Jiang Lifeng took a deep breath, endured it again and again, and finally swallowed the turbid air. There was no sign of it on his face.
"Wen... brother?"
Ding Ruihan was shuddered when she saw Jiang Lifeng's reaction. She always felt that something was about to escape her control. The panic that she had not seen for a long time came to her heart, and she couldn't help it any longer, so she called out softly in front of Emperor Mingze.
"What's wrong with you?"
She had never seen such a deep expression before, and just one glance made her feel like she was falling into the abyss.
"Yeah." Jiang Lifeng still couldn't hold back those sweet memories of the past, so he responded softly and lowered his head to look at her.
On her bright face, which was the same as usual, there were strings of tears dripping from the corners of her eyes. Jiang Lifeng had seen her cry sadly several times, and every time, he would feel a trace of naked distress in his heart.
Jiang Lifeng's eyes gradually became distant, as if he had fallen into that past again.
Suddenly--
"Ahem--"
"Cough cough cough--"
Several coughs sounded from all around. Jiang Lifeng raised his head blankly and met several reminding eyes one after another.
Jiang Lifeng:"..."
Got it, got it!
Jiang Lifeng lowered his head again and called softly, "Ruihan."
Ding Ruihan never took his eyes away from him, and when he heard this, he responded eagerly, "Yes!"
This is her long-term meal ticket for the future, so she can't let him run away!
Just--
Jiang Lifeng's next words stopped her in place.
"Do you know where the money I handed over to Master Ding is now hidden?"
In front of everyone, Ding Ruihan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"!!!"
