Chapter 115

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong looked back and saw a figure wearing a black brocade cotton cloak standing in the vast snow.

The rim of the silver fox fur surrounded Gan Lin’s white face, and there was a pearl on the buckle on his neck, which reflected off his face with brilliance and splendor.

Yu Linglong stopped but didn’t answer. She looked at him quietly, and her pretty face was a thousand miles away.

This child was really stubborn.

Gan Lin’s big black and white eyes stared at her with undisguised pain.

How beautiful, how proud, and how strong this young girl was, like a red plum blossoming proudly in the snow, cold and impeccable, and eye-catching.

However, she did not belong to him.

Unconsciously, his footsteps approached her until he stopped two steps in front of her.

Yu Linglong waited for a while, but Gan Lin didn’t mean to say anything, so she said, “Are you blaming me for lying to you?”

Gan Lin slowly shook his head: “No, I don’t blame you.”

Yu Linglong was a little speechless. She didn’t know what was going on in ancient education. Although he was still a child, he said this like he was wise beyond his years.

In contrast, she was more accustomed to the boy who had just escaped from the cave. He held her hand tightly and called her sister again as if she was the greatest support in the world.

But, he will probably never call her his sister again in this life.

Looking at Yu Linglong’s indifferent face, Gan Lin’s crystal eyes darkened. He asked again: “Why did you lie to me?”

Yu Linglong paused and said in a low voice, “I just don’t want to cause trouble.”

Gan Lin suddenly raised his head. His self-esteem was deflated: “Linglong, am I trouble?”

Yu Linglong did not deny it and nodded: “Yes, your status causes lots of trouble for me.”

From the moment she knew Gan Lin’s identity, she knew that she had fallen deeply into this huge vortex. Even though she was not in its center, she could still feel the powerful force in the vortex, so powerful that she could not break free.

Yu Lieyang, the man in black, Feng Xuanyuan, the Blue Lotus Cult, and now Gan Lin, the nephew of Empress Gan. She just wanted to protect herself and avoid further involvement, so when Gan Lin asked her name, she instinctively chose to lie.

This was not wrong, and it was not even a big deal at first, but the Gan Mansion wished to propose marriage to Yu Qianjiao, and it turned into a matter that should not have expanded into such an unmanageable situation today.

The matter was out of her control, and even she herself did not expect that her unintentional sentence would involve so many people.

Looking at her cold eyes, Gan Lin secretly clenched his hands and said stubbornly: “I will not cause you trouble.”

Yu Linglong shook her head and said, “This is not something you can decide.”

No matter what kind of person Gan Lin was, his identity was destined so he could not be a simple person, let alone have an ordinary life. Too much contact with such a person could only cause more trouble for her.

Yu Linglong didn’t want to talk to Gan Lin anymore. She turned her head, let Ling’er hold her hand, and got on the carriage.

“Don’t go!” Gan Lin, who was always composed, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her with a painful unwillingness on her face. “Linglong, why don’t you tell the truth, is it because you have no choice?”

He didn’t believe it! He didn’t believe that she made up a fake name just because she didn’t want to get into trouble, let alone that she was so dismissive. He was the nephew of the current empress and the only son of Gan Taifu, who was in power, and he was disgusted by her!?

The strength in his hand increased unconsciously, and Gan Lin’s voice was determined and confident in a way that did not match his age: “What is your problem? Tell me! I am a man, and I will help you find a way!”

Yu Linglong was speechless. She raised her eyes to look at Gan Lin’s small body that had not grown up yet and sighed helplessly.

With a slight effort, she got rid of Gan Lin’s tight grasp with all her strength.

“Young Master Gan, you think too much.”

Yu Linglong raised her foot and stepped on the footstool steadily. Ling’er lifted the curtain, and she got into the carriage.

Seeing she was leaving, Gan Lin eagerly grabbed the shaft of the car and said loudly, “Then why are you not willing to marry me? What’s wrong with me!?”

On the other side of the heavy cotton curtain, Yu Linglong’s face was very calm: “There is nothing wrong with you, I just don’t like you.”

This sentence stopped the conversation, and Gan Lin didn’t know what to say to make it better.

Even if you had a thousand redeeming points, or ten thousand redeeming points if people didn’t like you, what use was it?

Ling’er pushed Gan Lin’s hand away, and said crisply: “Prince Gan, please let us go, our lady is going back.”

Gan Lin let go of his hand in a daze, watching the carriage swaying slightly. As they were about to leave, he suddenly asked: “Do you really like Lord Xu?”

Yu Linglong in the carriage heard these words clearly, but she did not answer.

She hadn’t heard of Lord Xu for a long time, but his presence seemed to be everywhere. No matter where she went, someone would mention him to her.

This was also due to Lord Xu’s bombastic pursuit of her before, and now Fourth Lady Yu’s reputation had been closely linked to Lord Xu.

She was too lazy to explain and didn’t want to.

Seeing that she didn’t answer, Gan Lin thought she was tacitly agreeing, and his slender fingers couldn’t help being clenched into fists.

“Linglong, Lord Xu is about to be married off...” He didn’t say the following words, but he thought she should understand.

Everyone knew that if the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for Lord Xu, he would definitely choose a well-known lady, instead of choosing the daughter of a military general from the fourth rank, let alone a commoner’s daughter.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “

When Lord Xu got married, what would Yu Linglong do? Did anyone dare to risk offending Lord Xu and ask to marry her?

Thinking of this, Gan Lin seemed to see a glimmer of hope again. He chased the carriage for a few steps, and said firmly and clearly in his voice: “...I, I am willing to wait for you.”

There was no sound in the carriage. Yu Linglong seemed to hear nothing and did not respond.

The carriage gradually went away and disappeared at the corner of the street, leaving only Gan Lin alone in a daze.

In the ice and snow, the young slender figure looked so lonely and desolate.

...

Ever since Yu Qianjiao had her dentures beaten out by Yu Linglong, she refused to leave the Yu house after she was embarrassed in public. Everyone in the capital already knew that Yu Qianjiao, the daughter of the first wife, was a toothless ugly woman.

This time, even if the Gan family didn’t reject her, it would be impossible for anyone to propose to her.

Which dignified son would want to marry a toothless woman and suffer from others’ ridicule all his life?

For Yu Qianjiao, this time is completely over.

The person most affected by this incident was naturally General Yu. With the status of the Gan family, he had already opened up the way to recovery. Who knew that at this critical moment, the Gan family had withdrawn from the Yu family. Now all his efforts had become a waste.

What made him even more depressed was that without the protection of the Gan family, Minister Feng, who had been seeking revenge with General Yu for a long time, immediately turned over the transfer order and ordered him to report to southern Xinjiang immediately.

It seemed that the New Year was about to come, and the officials who had transferred out had returned to the capital, but General Yu was braving the cold to go to southern Xinjiang to supervise the battle. A discerning person would know that this was Minister Feng’s private revenge.

But regardless of their mentalities, the officials at the senior level crushed people to death. General Yu must go to southern Xinjiang.

Later, Concubine Mei gave him an idea, and General Yu felt that this plan was great, so he personally implemented it the next day.

News came in the afternoon the next day that General Yu went on a horseback trip, but accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg.

After a hundred days of injury, General Yu had enough reasons to delay the trip to southern Xinjiang.

Although he could no longer go out to have fun because of his “leg injury,” it was worth the price to stay at home peacefully.

General Yu was holding back at home every day and suffocating from boredom, but now the population of the Yu Mansion was dying, he wanted to get revenge.

His eldest son was dead, his second son left, his third son ran away...

His second daughter was chanting all day long, his third daughter died on the street, his fourth daughter was unprovokable, his fifth daughter was careful not to take blame...

Looking at it, he found that the most unpleasant one was the daughter Yu Qianjiao who was left behind by Mu Shi.

In General Yu’s view, it was all Yu Qianjiao’s fault that the Yu family was rejected by the Gan family. It also caused him to lose a good opportunity to join the Gan family. Now, this daughter was notorious and cannot marry. This was the end of a leisurely home life, and the more he looked at it, the more annoying it became.

General Yu was not a person who was willing to wrong himself. Thinking of this daughter still disobeying him, he even thought that Yu Qianjiao was not pleasing in his eyes.

A big man had been at home for a long time, and his psychology was not normal. Whenever he got drunk and thought that his beautiful future was ruined by Yu Qianjiao, he used his whip.

How could Yu Qianjiao endure such grievances? After being beaten by General Yu several times, she finally ran to the Mu house crying and begged the Mu family to call the shots for her.

Second Lady Mu was very happy. She directly took in Mu Shi’s only flesh and blood, and only sent a letter to General Yu. Although the words were more polite, the general idea was: you don’t want this daughter, so we will take her into the Mu House. After the New Year, the Mu family will send someone to send Yu Qianjiao back to her hometown.

It was out of the question for the Mu family to not take her in. In the beginning, she made trouble in the Yu House because of Mu Shi’s dowry. Now they took the dowry from them, but they didn’t want the daughter. This didn’t make sense.

So Second Lady Mu “generously” took in Yu Qianjiao, whose mother had died and whose father didn’t want her, but she left her a way out and sent Yu Qianjiao back to her hometown. This thing was naturally admirable, and she was in the hands of Second Lady Mu.

Although in name it was reserved for Yu Qianjiao as a dowry, but with Yu Qianjiao’s current reputation, was there any hope of her getting married? She couldn’t get married, so she came to the Mu house. Even if she only wasted rent, Second Lady Mu could make a fortune.

As for the future, even if Yu Qianjiao could really marry out, she would be a lone woman with no mother and a father that beat her. Could she beat the Mu family?

This kind of result was obviously good for everyone. For Yu Qianjiao, she could finally not have to take the whip of General Yu; for second Lady Mu, there is a more sufficient reason to acquire Mu Shi’s dowry; for General Yu, Yu Qianjiao, the reason he lost face, finally disappeared.

So, everyone was happy.

Yu Linglong felt a little funny when she heard the news. Yu Qianjiao’s ending was a good one. If she continued to stay in the Yu house, she would be laughed to death if she was not beaten to death by General Yu.

What was she cursing her with? To die alone?

Now she wanted to see who would die alone!

After Yu Qianjiao, an eye-catching woman disappeared, Yu Linglong focused on another matter.

She had received news that the New Year was approaching, and most of the properties under the name of the Yu house have been sent to the renters of the year, but there had been no movement from Concubine Mei. She promised to give her 30% of the income from the Yu house, and now she hasn’t paid her a penny.

Did Concubine Mei forget, or did she refuse to give it up?

Yu Linglong was not short of money, but who was annoying her because of too much money? Besides, she made a good deal with Concubine Mei. She helped Concubine Mei get to the top, and Concubine Mei paid her portion. Now it was less than half a year. Was this woman about to change her mind?

Was she stupid?

That night, after Yu Linglong sent out two invitations, Concubine Mei finally came to Pinlan Garden.

Yu Linglong looked at Concubine Mei and saw that her makeup was still luxurious, but her brow and eyes were full of exhaustion, as if she was several years older.

After entering the room, Concubine Mei didn’t greet her. She bent her waist and sat directly on the head seat. Then she looked at Yu Linglong.

“The Fourth Lady called me, what’s your order?”

Yu Linglong sneered. Oh, was Concubine Mei pretending to be confused?

Seeing that Concubine Mei was no longer respectful, Yu Linglong simply said straightforwardly: “When will you send my share of silver?”

When she mentioned it, Concubine Mei struggled internally. Since Yu Qianyun stopped her from dealing with the yamen last time, this fifth lady had deliberately or unconsciously intervened in the affairs of the mansion, especially in the exchange of money. If Concubine Mei was dealing with it, she would do it right away, but in fact, she interfered in secret.

With such a person monitoring the Yu house’s accounts, Concubine Mei really couldn’t do anything with the money. Besides Yu Linglong, even she herself hasn’t extorted anything for a long time.

Concubine Mei was about to explain, but she raised her eyes to meet Yu Linglong’s stern black eyes.

These eyes were scrutinizing and stern, as if they could see through everything, and she couldn’t help but shiver.

Thinking of Yu Linglong’s methods, Concubine Mei lifted her hand subconsciously and stroked her tall belly.

This Fourth Lady can’t fool around easily.

Concubine Mei’s mind turned slightly, and suddenly she had an idea.

Didn’t Yu Linglong want silver? Then she could tell the truth. She can help her once, and maybe she will help herself a second time.
