For Ling Yuan, it is easy to say a few coaxing beautiful words, but to say beautiful words to a woman is a novel experience.

Before he could figure out what to do to let the little cook take care of him, she seemed to have figured it out by herself, turned her head back, and stopped mentioning the topic of being behaved just now, just saying: "On the stove in the house. Hot water is still burning, I will check it out."

Ling Yuan watched her get up and withdrew as usual, as if the resistance just now was just his illusion. And the performance of the next two days also reflected this point, and the little cook became well-behaved again.

But Ling Yuan knew clearly that it was not an illusion, and even if the little chef acted obediently as before, he still felt a sense of distance, and when the two got along, they lost the calmness they had before.

During this period of time, everything in the Wulin League was within his expectations. People who originally had doubts about his identity as the owner of Mingshanzhuang also shut up after he was attacked by the Demon Cult, and there were also discussions about dealing with the Demon Cult. After seeing his eyebrows, everything was developing in the direction he expected and was under his control, except for that one person.

Not long ago, Ling Yuan never knew that a little girl who didn't know how to martial arts, a little cook who seemed to be able to squeeze and squeeze, could have such a big impact on him.

Although she didn't seem to have done anything, even though her behavior still met the standards he wanted her to be well-behaved, there was still something that made him unsatisfied.

"What are your plans for today?" Ling Yuan dropped a piece on the chessboard and asked the people under the corridor.

Jiang Rui was feeding a parrot. The bird was sent by Liu Xingfeng, and it was given as an apology gift the day after he made those jokes.

"If the owner has nothing to order, sister Ningxiang wants to ask me out for a walk, can you?" She asked him through the bird cage.

Ling Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to leave the house, let Wang San accompany you." Wang San is the guard of Mingshan Villa.

"Thank you, the owner." After Jiang Rui fed the bird, he added some water to the small porcelain cup, went back to the house to clean up and went out.

Seeing her disappearing outside the door, Ling Yuan slowly narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, a chess piece caught in his fingertips, which had not fallen for a long time.

It has been several days since they arrived in the Liu Mansion. Ling Yuan often went to discuss matters with the people in the Wulin League. Jiang Rui didn't feel bored by being alone, but Ningxiang couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't live with Jiang Rui. They were all unfamiliar people, and they didn't dare to go out alone, for fear that Xiao Gongzi would be teased. After being bored in the house for many days, he finally couldn't help but come and walk with Jiang Rui.

There were a lot of guests in the Liu Mansion, all of them from the rivers and lakes. The two of them only walked around a small garden in the mansion for fear that they would get into trouble. They found a pavilion to sit down and chat.

"When can we return to Mingshan Villa? I miss Yunxiang and the others." Ningxiang said with a sad face.

Jiang Rui comforted her, "It shouldn't be too long. I think the owner has come back earlier and earlier recently, and it's almost time to discuss things."

Hearing her mention Ling Yuan, Ningxiang looked at her, then stopped talking, held back for a while, and finally said: "Sanniang, don't dislike me for talking too much. I didn't mean anything else, just you and the owner. It's like this now... Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Jiang Rui knew what she was trying to say, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and said, "I don't have the final say on what to do in the future."

The breeze blew the petals of Begonia from nowhere and landed on the stone table in the pavilion. She picked it up and played with it.

After hearing this, Ningxiang's frowning eyebrows became a little more sad, looked at the petals in her hand, and sighed, "What you said is that we will not have the final say on the future. Like this petal, where it is blown by the wind. But Sanniang, I think the owner has some affection for you, although you may not be happy to say that, but affection is a vain thing, you have to take advantage of it now When it comes time, take it well and plan for yourself."

Jiang Rui raised his eyes to look at her, waiting for her to speak.

Ningxiang looked around cautiously before continuing: "You know our identity. Freedom is gone. Most of them are getting older. They just pull out to match people. That's why there are so many maids who want to go. Climb up, want to be a concubine, are they self-willing to be inferior? Obviously not. If you can be upright, who wants to be inferior? Your biggest advantage now is that the owner likes you, and the position of the owner’s wife is not our status. It's extravagant, but you can take good care of it. If you can let the owner take you as an aunt, you will feel a little bit of affection today, even if you get old in the future, your life should not be too sad."

Jiang Rui joined Ling Yuan, naturally not to be his little wife, but Ningxiang’s remarks were for her good, and she would not refute it face to face. She just smiled and said, "I remember what Ningxiang said. I will think about it when I go back."

Ningxiang nodded and joked: "When I first met that day, I thought you were a blessed person. There is no mistress in our village now. When you become an aunt, you will be considered half a lady. Take care of me."

Jiang Rui smiled, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a strange voice saying: "Sure enough, like my mother said, they are all lowly people. They only want to seduce men all day."

The two turned their heads together and saw Young Master Gu standing outside the pavilion, looking at them maliciously.

Jiang Rui frowned slightly. This kid was not very old, but what he said did not seem to come from his age. Moreover, he was still a boy, at least he had read some books, and he was taught this way somehow.

When Ningxiang saw him, her face paled slightly. She was obviously afraid of being tossed before. She had been hiding in the mansion for so long, and when she went out for the first time today, she unexpectedly met the evil star.

"Gu, Young Master Gu..."

Young Master Gu swaggered in. He was originally a little mellow, but he was frightened a while ago, suffered a disease, and was a lot thinner. Now when he looks at people hanging from the corner of his eyes, he looks even more mean, "Hey, you let her be you Owner’s aunt, do you want to be an aunt herself? I warn you, stay away from my cousin, my cousin belongs to my sister!"

Ningxiang said hurriedly: "Gu Gongzi misunderstood, Liu Shaoxia and I have nothing."

"I don't believe what a **** says." Little Young Master Gu looked contemptuous.

Ningxiang's face became paler, but he dared not say anything.

Jiang Rui is a little itchy. She hasn't seen the bear child, but there are not many people who have a bite like this, and she can see that when there are outsiders, this kid is not so bad, and most play children. Temper, now it is obvious that she and Ningxiang are the only two, so there is no malicious intention.

However, the corner of her eye was paying attention to the two people who were not far away, and she did not refute the words of Young Master Gu. Didn't he pretend to be a good boy in front of an adult? Let's see how he can do it now.

Just thinking about it, Young Master Gu didn't know what was going crazy, and suddenly slapped Ningxiang.

"You--" Jiang Rui took a step forward and was about to pull people away, but some people took a step faster.

"Gu Jin, don't go too far!" It was Liu Xingfeng.

Liu Xingfeng went to find Ling Yuan. After the incident that day, he dared not come to the door personally. The next day he asked the young man to give Jiang Rui a parrot. After today, he felt that the matter should have passed before he came to the door with a smile. To his surprise, there was only Ling Yuan in the yard.

He took some people and talked a lot before asking, "Brother Ling, where is Sanniang?"

Ling Yuan kept staring at the chessboard without raising his head, "Go out."

Liu Xingfeng looked at his face and asked tentatively, "That day... Sanniang didn't have a commotion with Brother Ling, right?"

Throwing the chess piece back, Ling Yuan finally raised his head and muttered to himself: "Uncomfortable?"

Thinking that he was talking to himself, Liu Xingfeng said: "Yes, no matter who I heard that day, I will be unhappy. Besides, Brother Ling, you and Sanniang are in that relationship. It is normal for her to misunderstand. You should have explained to her, right?"

Ling Yuan didn't know if he listened, still immersed in his thoughts.

He felt that Little Chef's performance in the past two days seemed to be explained by the word awkward. Although he looked obedient and didn't refuse his request, it just made him feel uncomfortable. It turned out that this was awkward.

He looked up at Liu Xingfeng and said, "She quarreled with me."

Liu Xingfeng opened his mouth: "Sanniang will make trouble? It doesn't look like it."

"It's not that kind of trouble..." Ling Yuan frowned.

He always has a gentle face. Except for something serious, Liu Xingfeng has never seen him look like that. He is strange and curious, and a little guilty. After all, this is probably caused by him, so He asked Ling Yuan about the situation after he left that day.

Ling Yuan didn't want to let others know about the private relationship between him and the little chef, but now he encountered a problem and couldn't solve it. After weighing it, he still told Liu Xingfeng.

After hearing this, Liu Xingfeng pondered for a long time, and said, "Brother Ling, I think that in the final analysis, you didn't give Sanniang an explanation."

"Explain?" Ling Yuan had completely left the chessboard aside, staring at him intently.

Looking at him like this, Liu Xingfeng was quite contented. It turned out that Brother Ling was inferior to him. Although he has not married yet, he has never eaten pork and hasn’t seen a pig run? Regarding matters between men and women , He dare to say that ten Ling brothers can't compare to him.

He cleared his throat and looked very solemnly, "Yes, confess. Look, Brother Ling, you and Sanniang should be in love right now, right?"

Ling Yuan paused and nodded slowly. Although he didn't feel that he had any deep feelings for Little Chef, looking at Liu Xingfeng's appearance, it seemed that there was a way to do this, so he did not deny this statement.

"It seems that next time I see Sanniang, I have to call my sister-in-law." Liu Xingfeng rubbed his hands and said with a smile, and said, "But it is not enough to be happy between men and women. Brother Ling, you and San The status of the mother is so different, just like I was joking at that time, as long as you nod your head, you can give Sanniang to me—don’t don’t! Look at me like that! It’s just a joke!"

Ling Yuan slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently, "Brother Liu Xian, please continue."

Liu Xingfeng rubbed his arms. When Brother Ling smiled like this before, he only felt the spring breeze blowing on his face. When did his smile become so permeating?

"You see, it's a joke like this that makes Sanniang feel uneasy. Brother Ling, since you like people, you should take responsibility and give her the status and status she deserves."

Liu Xingfeng didn’t say exactly what status and status he should be. Even if he is usually casual and unpretentious, he also knows that there is a huge difference between the owner of Mingshan Villa and a little cook, although he does not hope much. Sanniang is an aunt, but in her capacity, it seems impossible to be the wife of the owner, unless Brother Ling is willing.

But are their feelings really deep to that point?

Ling Yuan didn't speak, and stared at the chessboard with his eyebrows.

Liu Xingfeng stood up and said, "Let's go out too, Brother Ling, you have come to our house so many times. It seems that you haven't visited our house yet. Let me take you. Maybe you will meet Sanniang."

Ling Yuan did not refuse, and the two of them left the yard together. After not walking very far, they saw two familiar figures in the pavilion, just about to say hello, and Young Master Gu broke in.

Liu Xingfeng heard the conversation of the three clearly.

He originally thought that his cousin was just spoiled and a little bit stubborn. He didn't expect that such unbearable words would come out of his mouth. Such a small child could be so vicious with his intentions. Moreover, the people of Mingshanzhuang were guests here, but he beat the people of Mingshanzhuang in front of Ling Yuan, and he had to give someone an explanation.

"Immediately apologize to Ningxiang!"

Seeing him coming, Young Master Gu was a little flustered at first, but when he heard this, he straightened up and said fiercely: "Let me apologize to these lowly people, it's impossible!"

"Hey--" Liu Xingfeng slapped him unceremoniously, making his neck thick with anger. "My aunt and uncle can't bear to say you, now I'm in my place, and I have the final say. You are young, but you can say so. If you say this, I will teach you a lesson for my aunt!"

He said, holding down Young Master Gu’s head to apologize to Ningxiang, and then lifting him up by the back of his neck, regardless of Young Master Gu’s punches, kicks, and howls, he said to a few people that he was unaccompanied. Towed away.

"How are you?" Jiang Rui approached Ningxiang, frowning and observing her face. Although Young Master Gu was not very old, his hands were not too young, and half of Ningxiang's face was swollen with a slap.

With water vapor in Ningxiang's eyes, she smiled and shook her head, and bowed to Ling Yuan, "I have seen the owner."

He took another look at Jiang Rui and found that he was not suitable to stay, so he found an excuse to leave, "I have clothes in my room that have not been washed, so I will leave first."

"I'll take you back." Jiang Rui said.

Ningxiang hurriedly refused: "No, this is very close to my residence. I will be there soon. You can speak with the owner." She left quickly after speaking.

Jiang Rui could only see her disappearing on the trail, thinking about going back to the room for a while to find some medicine to send to her, and then looking back at Ling Yuan.

"Does the owner also come out to relax?"

Ling Yuan motioned her to sit down, "Were you scared just now?"

Jiang Rui shook his head, "No, Young Master Gu seems to be specifically targeting Sister Ningxiang. I see her face is very swollen, and I dare to ask the owner for some swelling medicine. Is there any?"

"You don't want to be brave, you know where the medicine is, just go and get it for Ningxiang."

"I thank the owner for Sister Ningxiang." After Jiang Rui finished speaking, he hesitated, and then said: "It's not the first time that Young Master Gu has targeted Sister Ningxiang. I wonder if he will..."

Ling Yuan said: "Don't worry, although the Gu family did not teach the children well, the Liu family's family style is good. Ningxiang is a member of my Ming Villa. He was beaten in the Liu Mansion. Brother Liu Xian will not sit back and watch when he sees it. He will give Ningxiang an explanation. ."

Jiang Rui nodded. In fact, she knew in her heart that although Liu Xingfeng was a good person, he wanted him to blame his cousin for the sake of a subordinate. If Ling Yuan hadn't been on the spot, he would have been just a few words at best. His master was there. You have to give the guests an explanation, that's why they are so angry.

Ling Yuan said again: "What did you discuss with Ningxiang just now?"

Jiang Ruilue was taken aback, looked away at the desktop, and said softly: "It's nothing, just say a few words."

However, the person opposite did not intend to be fooled. He said, "I heard it."

His inner strength is deeper than Liu Xingfeng. When he noticed the two people sitting in the pavilion, he deliberately paid attention to their conversation, but he didn't expect it to be like that.

He has been thinking about what Liu Xingfeng said before.

Although he planned to keep the little cook by his side, before today, Ling Yuan had not thought about giving her an identity, not that he was not prepared to take responsibility, but that he did not have that consciousness.

Just as no one had ever been awkward to him, he never thought that he would have a wife, because this was not in his plan. But as Liu Xingfeng said, he needs to give someone an explanation. If this explanation allows the little chef to stay with him at ease, without any other thoughts, then from now on, it is not impossible to increase this plan.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Rui's face turned pale and he pressed his lips.

Ling Yuan held her hand and said gently, "I didn't think about it well. Brother Liu Xian and Ningxiang thought about it, but I didn't expect that when I returned to the house this time, I would let them do it."

Although he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious what he meant by going to do it. He thought that the little cook should be happy, but seeing her eyebrows frowned, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to talk, but finally didn't say anything. Only said: "Thank you, the owner."

Ling Yuan realized that something hadn't been said clearly, so he thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of the meaning in Ningxiang's words just now.

He asked her softly, "Aren't you happy?"

"No, I'm very happy." Jiang Rui said with a smile.

Ling Yuan reached out and nodded between her eyebrows, "Little liar."

She immediately lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling quickly.

"Why didn't you say it when you were upset? Did you think I wanted you to be aunt?"

Jiang Rui raised his eyes to look at him. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were clearly asking, isn't it?

Ling Yuan smiled and said, "Having you alone is enough for me to worry, can I still deal with others?"

When these words were spoken, he watched the little chef first be puzzled, then surprised, then opened his eyebrows and became happy, and finally puffed his cheeks slightly, as if a little unhappy.

He watched her changing face with gusto.

He knew that although he had a mask in front of people and looked gentle and elegant, he actually didn't have much patience, and his temper could never be considered a good one, but when facing her, he didn't seem to be angry and impatient.

"What are you not happy about, let's hear it?" He heard his own smile.

Jiang Rui was blushing on his face, but his cheeks bulged softly, "The owner said that I am troubled, am I not obedient enough? Didn't it all follow your instructions?"

Ling Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Observe, too obedient."

Hearing her complaint, he couldn't help but reflect on it. He thought he only wanted her to be obedient and well-behaved, but when she was only obedient and well-behaved, he seemed dissatisfied.

He shook his head to himself in his heart, saying that such fickleness is bad, but he didn't mean to reflect and correct. Anyway, the little cook is destined to be his, isn't it?

Thinking about this, he said with special tolerance and connivance: "It doesn't matter whether you listen or not, behave or not, it's fine."
