Chapter 104 Memories
Ling Sichen finally managed to shake Ling Bingqing off and returned to his room.
*
At a poetry meeting, a veiled girl dared to challenge on the stage. No matter who asked what question, the girl could answer it slowly and without hesitation. The boys admired the girl's literary talent.
He wanted to ask who the girl was, but the girl concealed the truth and left quickly after the competition. The boy chased after her and only saw the girl's back.
*
At a banquet, the boy met the girl again. When he saw the girl's face under the veil, he fell in love with her. The girl called her Madam A Niang, and the boy knew her identity.
*
On a busy street, due to the crowded crowd, a child was squeezed to the ground and the pole beside him fell down. As everyone gasped, a whip caught the pole and pulled it backwards. The girl shouted to the woman to take the child away quickly. At that moment, the boy was attracted by the girl's heroic spirit.
*
In the hunting ground, an assassin suddenly broke in to assassinate the emperor. The girl stepped forward decisively and locked the assassin's knife with a whip and pulled it aside. The leader of the Yulin Army clamped the assassin. The emperor rewarded her greatly. The girl told the boy what reward she wanted. At that moment, the boy's heart darkened, because because of the girl's request, he would never have a chance.
*
When he saw the girl again, she had grown into a graceful and elegant lady. What the boy did not expect was that the girl became friends with his sister and even greeted him. The boy was embarrassed to look at the girl and pretended to stay away from her.
*
As the relationship between the girl and her sister becomes closer and closer, the boy sees the girl more and more often. Although the boy knows that he has no chance, he is still inadvertently attracted to the girl.
Ling Sichen recalled how he met Ye Qingyin, how he was attracted to her, and how he fell in love with her. He thought he had no chance, but he didn't expect that the emperor would grant them a marriage by mistake. Although he didn't know the reason, Ling Sichen was happy, but also nervous, because Tao Ling and Ling Bingqing both said that if Ye Qingyin refused and was unwilling in her heart, he still couldn't get close to her.
*
The next day.
Ye Ziyu woke up from her sleep and stretched.
"Miss." Lixia came in with some water, put it down and touched Ye Ziyu's forehead. "That's great. Your fever hasn't come back since it subsided yesterday." Lixia wet the handkerchief and handed it to Ye Ziyu.
Ye Ziyu took the handkerchief and wiped her face, "Is my fever lasting for a long time again?"
Lixia took the handkerchief and said, "It's not bad this time. Liqiu and I used the wine you said to wipe your limbs. Your fever went down quickly. But you slept for a long time. You must be hungry. I asked the kitchen to cook some porridge this morning. I'll go and bring it over."
"Ah."
Ye Ziyu: I didn’t expect that when I had a fever and was drowsy, I would actually go back. I hadn’t been back for such a long time, and I thought I would never be able to go back. But this did give me an opportunity to finish reading all the things related to the novel and the protagonist. Although I didn’t write about some things in detail, I still wrote down the general idea.
Li Qiu brought in the food, and Ye Ziyu asked as she ate, "Did anything big happen while I was asleep?"
"There are two major events." Li Qiu poured a bowl of porridge, "The first one is that the Lin Mansion was robbed."
"Beat? The Lin residence has quite a few guards, how could it be robbed? What was stolen?"
"It is said that a lot of treasures were lost, and the steward of the Lin Mansion reported it to the authorities, hoping that the officials can track down the thieves."
Ye Ziyu didn't want to care about anything concerning the Lin Mansion.
"Where's the other one?"
"It seems that the eldest lady is getting engaged." Li Qiu vaguely heard something yesterday.
"Engagement?" Ye Ziyu almost swallowed a mouthful of porridge, "Engagement for what? Engagement to whom?" Ye Ziyu remembered that Ye Qingyin didn't seem to be engaged so quickly! Isn't it the same novel, but all the character names are the same? This confused Ye Ziyu.
"I heard it was Young Master Ling."
"Ling Sichen? That pretentious waste?" Ye Ziyu blurted out.
"Ah?" Li Qiu was puzzled.
Ye Ziyu: Although Ling Sichen is a good friend of the male protagonist, his martial arts skills are very poor. He later caused the male protagonist to be injured and disappeared for a while, causing the female protagonist to cry all day long.
"Why are the two families getting engaged out of nowhere? Was it proposed by the ladies of the two families?"
Li Qiu shook her head and said, "It is said that the emperor intends to grant the marriage, but the imperial decree has not yet been issued."
Ye Ziyu: A marriage granted? Didn't the emperor promise my sister that she could marry freely before? Why did he suddenly grant a marriage? Although the hero and heroine in the novel were also granted a marriage later, it was after they fell in love and the hero asked the emperor for permission. Before that, the heroine had no marriage. What the hell? Then I was reading in vain. Ugh, I thought I knew the script and it would be smooth sailing, but in the end...
Ye Ziyu's expression was confused, puzzled, angry, and sad, which made Li Qiu stunned.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"The emperor intends to grant the marriage, but has not issued the decree yet, which means there is still a chance. How about my sister?"
"The eldest lady went to the Ling Mansion with the Madam early in the morning."
"How long have you been gone?"
"It's almost a quarter of an hour."
"It's so early." Ye Ziyu quickly took two bites, "Help me with my makeup."
*
"Ah Xu, you're here." Tao Ling had been ready early in the morning, waiting for Jiang Xu, but she didn't expect Ye Qingyin to come as well, "Ah Yin."
"Mrs. Ling." Ye Qingyin saluted.
"How about I let Aqing take you to the backyard to play first?"
"Mrs. Ling, I want to talk to Mr. Ling in person."
Tao Ling obviously didn't expect Ye Qingyin to come to see Ling Sichen. "That's good. The two children can talk face to face first. Go and call Sichen over." Tao Ling instructed Lamei.
"Mrs. Ling, I want to talk to Mr. Ling in private. Let Aqing accompany me."
"I didn't think it through. Go find Aqing and ask her to take you to find Sichen."
After the maid took Ye Qingyin away, "Ayin is such a good kid. She is well-educated, polite, and calm. She is a good candidate for a mistress. Ah Xu, did you ask about Ahyin yesterday?"
"I did ask, but Ah Yin said that she would have to wait until she meets Si Chen today before making a decision. Did you ask Si Chen yesterday if he had someone he liked?"
"Have."
Jiang Xu's face turned cold when he heard this, "Then there is no need to discuss this marriage anymore."
"You're just talking to me. You didn't even listen to me finish my words." Tao Ling joked, "That brat said that he once had a crush on a girl, but he gave up the idea because he couldn't meet her requirements."
Jiang Xu's expression did not ease after hearing this.
"What a coincidence! The girl that brat once loved was A-Yin." Tao Ling continued.
"What? Really?" Jiang Xu couldn't believe it.
"Don't worry, A Xu, I promise." Tao Ling patted Jiang Xu's hand. "At first, when this kid knew he was going to be arranged to marry, he was still making a fuss about refusing. But after he found out who the marriage partner was, he instantly calmed down and said he was willing. I didn't expect that this brat actually admired A Yin." Tao Ling couldn't hide her smile.
"Now it's up to Ayin, but don't worry, if Ayin doesn't want to, we won't force her. I'll let the brat solve it."
Jiang Xu was relieved, at least Ling Sichen loved Ye Qingyin.
*
"Ayin." Ling Bingqing saw Ye Qingyin coming into the room.
"Ah Qing, I want to go talk to your brother. Can you take me with you? I have already talked to Madam Ling."
"Sure, my brother should not have left the house at this time. I'll take you there." Ling Bingqing took Ye Qingyin and walked towards Ling Sichen's study.
"Ayin, my mother asked my brother yesterday when we returned home."
"what?"
"Ask my brother if he has someone he likes."
Ye Qingyin's heart skipped a beat, "Is that possible?" Ye Qingyin had come here today just to clarify this matter with Ling Sichen. If he had someone he liked, they could discuss countermeasures so that the emperor would not grant the marriage. Ye Qingyin was still a little nervous because she needed to know the answer in advance.
Ling Bingqing stopped and turned to look at Ye Qingyin, "Yes, my brother likes you."
Hearing this, Ye Qingyin felt her cheeks getting hot, "You... like me?"
"Uh-huh."
"But I had never met Master Ling before I met you, and we only had a brief glimpse when we met later. How could Master Ling be interested in me?"
"Well, I kept asking him all night, but he refused to tell me when he fell in love with you. I was so anxious, but it's okay. Now I know for sure that my brother likes you. What do you think, Ah Yin?"
Ye Qingyin had thought about whether Ling Sichen had someone he liked, and she had also thought about whether he liked her or not, but she had never thought that the person Ling Sichen liked was her. Suddenly, Ye Qingyin was a little at a loss.
"arrive……"
