She looked at the young man in front of her. No, four years had passed and he was already a young man, but he looked so thin and covered with wounds. One glance was enough to tell that he had experienced too much hardship.
"What does it have to do with you? Who asked you to come here? What is your purpose?"
Chu Ling's dark eyes stared at her with vigilance and disgust.
Yun Chaomu looked at the person in front of him, not knowing where to start with a thousand words. He ignored Chu Ling's questioning and just stared at him steadily, his eyes full of pain and sorrow.
Si Xi said that Yun Chaomu had committed adultery with Prince Jing and the young marquis, so the Prince Jing's mansion was dismissed and the entire family was demoted.
It was she who brought disaster to the Chu family.
Seeing that Yun Chaomu didn't say anything for a long time and just stared at him, that look suddenly made Chu Ling angry. He grabbed Yun Chaomu's arm and pushed him out, "You, get out!"
"Chu Ling."
Yun Chaomu called him, but when she felt his pulse, she was shocked and grief-stricken. The pulse was weak and not as strong as that of an ordinary person. Her face changed drastically and she burst into tears. "Where's your inner strength? Chu Ling, where's your inner strength?"
Chu Ling seemed to have been touched on something, and angrily shook off Meng Qingge's hand and grabbed her neck, "Meng Qingge, do we know each other well? What do you want to do by acting like this? Huh? Do you really think that I can't kill you because I have no internal energy?"
Chu Ling's face was full of anger and he grabbed Yun Chaomu's neck fiercely.
But Yun Chaomu did not struggle, but tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Chu Ling in front of her with such loving care. The young man who was as passionate as the sun had become so miserable. No wonder he did not fight back when being beaten up, no wonder there was a dead water in his eyes, as if he was used to being beaten. He could not resist because he had lost all his martial arts.
Yun Chaomu's neck was being strangled, but she was not afraid because she had experienced the feeling of suffocation and near death. Chu Ling did not use any heavy force at this time.
He is not a teenager who likes to kill innocent people.
Chu Ling did not use any force on his hands. He looked at Meng Qingge's face in front of him, tears streaming down her face, as if she had encountered something extremely painful. The distressed and guilty look in her eyes made him even more irritated.
What did she mean? Was she feeling sorry for him? Were they familiar with each other? What was she playing at?
"Meng Qingge, no matter what you want to play, I don't have time to cooperate with you. Get out of here and don't show up in front of me again."
Chu Ling shook his hand away and said in a deep voice.
Yun Chaomu didn't listen to Chu Ling's words. She wiped the tears from her face, looked at the person in front of her, and suddenly asked hatefully, "Is it Xiao Zhan? Is it him who hurt you?"
"you……"
Chu Ling never expected to hear such a sentence from Meng Qingge. His pupils shrank sharply and he grabbed her wrist, this time using great force. "Meng Qingge, what do you want to say?"
Yun Chaomu's wrist felt like it was about to be broken and it was so painful from being pinched, but he was unwilling to blame the person in front of him at all.
"Chu Ling, I know you were framed. There is nothing innocent between you and Yun Chaomu..."
boom!
Before he could finish his words, Yun Chaomu was pushed out by Chu Ling. His eyes were filled with frightening hostility as he stared at Meng Qingge. Vigilance and hatred filled his face, which gradually turned into murderous intent. "Meng Qingge, how do you know Yun Chaomu? Who told you anything?"
Yun Chaomu opened her mouth. She wanted to tell him that she was Yun Chaomu.
But can I say it? It's so absurd.
But she didn't know how to explain her current identity.
Especially because she was the one who harmed Chu Ling to this extent, the guilt and pain in her heart almost destroyed her.
Just as she was thinking about how to explain, footsteps were heard from outside the yard, accompanied by a few coughs. The door creaked open, and an old woman walked in carrying a large wooden basin.
"Mom, you're washing clothes again. Didn't I tell you that it's cold and your hands and feet can't stand it?"
Almost instantly, Chu Ling suppressed his anger and rushed towards the woman at the door with a nervous look on his face.
"It's okay, I'm going to earn some money... You little brat, are you fighting with someone again?"
The woman opened her mouth, but when she saw the new scars on Chu Ling's face, she immediately scolded him with both heartache and anger.
"No……"
Chu Ling stammered, his voice low.
"Did they bully you again?"
The woman continued, as if she had thought of something, and sighed deeply, feeling quite helpless.
"lady……"
At this time, Yun Chaomu, who was standing at the back of the door, finally spoke. She stood there and watched for a long time before she recognized that this was Lady Liu Yu, the wife of the Duke of Jingguo, her Aunt Liu.
The once noble and gentle wife of the Duke now looked as old as an old woman, with a hunched back and her hair mixed with silver threads. She looked old and tired.
Hearing the voice, Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Yun Chaomu's face, "Miss, who are you from? Are you Chu Ling's friend?"
The Duke's wife asked gently.
Yun Chaomu suppressed her emotions tightly. She thought about the past years when she and Chu family's eldest daughter Chu Xiangyang were very good friends. She was gentle in nature, but Xiangyang loved to wield swords and guns. The two of them stood together, one still and one moving, but there was a wonderful sense of harmony.
She often went to the Duke Jingguo's Mansion, and Aunt Liu would always cook the most delicious pastries herself.
She had been without a mother since childhood, but she felt warmth she had never experienced before from the Duke's wife, and she affectionately called her Aunt Liu.
But now, the joints of Aunt Liu's hands are swollen and rough, and one can tell at a glance that it is caused by doing heavy work and not taking good care of her hands.
Yun Chaomu's throat was choked, and the word "Auntie Liu" was stuck on the corner of his lips.
She turned her face away and held back her tears, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions. In such a short period of time, from the moment she met Chu Ling to Aunt Liu, all the hatred and anger that she had suppressed surged up again, like a fire dragon erupting, unable to be suppressed.
"Chu Ling, did you bully the girl?"
Liu Yu saw Yun Chaomu's red eyes, obviously from crying, and immediately glared at Chu Ling and scolded her harshly. Their family had fallen on hard times, but people should be upright and not bully weak women. The girl was crying like this, she must have suffered a great injustice.
Chu Ling felt even more wronged when his mother scolded him. He had no idea what Meng Qingge was up to and could only stare at her with hatred and vigilance.
"Madam, I am Meng Qingge from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. Chu Ling did not bully me, but I thought of something, so..."
Yun Chaomu calmed down and spoke softly.
"Yongning Palace? I've heard that you're the legitimate daughter who got lost when she was young. You've also suffered a lot."
The Duke's wife suddenly understood, and there was pity in her eyes.
This is a kind woman. Even if she withers and turns into mud, she still has no resentment.
"Mom, what did you say to her? Go into the house first! Meng Qingge, come here!"
At this time, Chu Ling interrupted with a sullen face, full of suppressed impatience, and wanted Meng Qingge to leave.
"Chu Ling, why are you so rude? Is this the way of entertaining guests that your mother taught you?"
The Duke's wife scolded lightly, and then said to Yun Chaomu, "If Miss Meng doesn't mind, please come in and sit for a while. You can tell me what you want today."
