sinful preference

full moon.

The horse-drawn carriages in the palace ran out of the palace gate on the grand and majestic road to court, and the guards guarding the palace gate all bowed their heads in silence. It seemed that at night, except for the sound of the evening wind, there were only noises of horseshoes and wheels scratching the ground. color.

The carriage goes all the way to the south. The south of the capital is the residence of the courtiers of the aristocratic family, which is elegant and luxurious, and the north is where merchants gather, which is extremely prosperous.

So as soon as it got dark, the north-south junction of the capital seemed to be torn apart. Half of it melted into the coolness of the summer night, and half of it was lit with countless street lamps.

Standing outside the house closest to the palace in the south is a shift watcher named Huang San, who is ugly but never commits crimes. He finds such a serious job and works hard every day, but today is a bit abnormal. He had already walked around the Lin Mansion three times, but he never beat the gong. It wasn't until the low-profile carriage pulled by a black horse not far away quickly passed by him that he calmly yelled: "Heavenly stems!" Things are dry, beware of candle flames."

The sound of the gong left the Lin Mansion, but a servant in the Lin Mansion hurried to the backyard and whispered in an old man's ear.

"Master, here we come."

The old man was kind-hearted, rich and worried. He put his fist on the stone table for a long time and hammered it hard. He stood up with his sleeves thrown, and said, "Go, follow me to welcome you."

The servant Lin Shan is a little old, and he never talks too much. He only knows that the master asked him to listen to the voice of the watchman, and as long as he hears it, he will report back immediately. The rest is none of his business.

"By the way, where is Yu'er?" The old man asked suddenly as he walked towards the back door of the house, "Are you asleep?"

The servant lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye: "I just lit the incense, and I probably haven't fallen asleep yet."

The old man paused, and the distress in his eyes was obvious: "I said it's windy today, and no matter what banquet is set up, the whole family can't stop eating."

Lin Shan knew that he didn't need to speak by himself at this time.

Sure enough, then the old man said again: "That's all."

Lin Shan closely followed the old man's footsteps, knowing that the master would definitely visit the eldest young master in person later, and also knew that the matter that the master was dealing with now might be very important, so important that he didn't have time to deal with the concubine who caused his son-in-law to have a heart attack .

"Open the door quickly!" As soon as he walked to the back door, Lin Shangshu knew that he had no way out, or that it was an omen that he owed favors from the beginning, but at this time he had no chance to repent.

Lin Shan moved very quickly, and heard that the master wanted to open the door himself, so he clearly opened the door first and pulled out the latch. Sure enough, the master did not blame him for being unreasonable.

However, when the door was opened, the place illuminated by the red lantern was empty, and the creaking back door made an overly creepy sound.

Lin Shangshu's heart skipped a beat, his face was solemn, and he walked out quickly to look around, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard a faint, childish voice behind him:

"Master Lin's late arrival must be something important..."

Lin Shangshu's face changed slightly, and when he turned around, he saw a boy hiding behind the door stepping out of the shadows. The boundary between light and shadow also divided the boy into two halves, half smiling, with a sweet smile on his fair little face, Half blurred.

"Where is the matter, the old man is indeed busy, the child is not feeling well, and is extremely anxious, so..."

The boy walked into the Lin mansion alone before he finished listening to the words. The small figure was illuminated by the bright red lantern for a long time, as if he wanted to carve out his grown-up appearance.

Lin Shangshu only felt relieved, regained his indifference, walked behind the boy, and looked at him quietly.

It was really difficult for him to match the rumored person with such a child, so he became more and more confused. It's just that the royal affairs are true and false. They are courtiers, so they can't see through, so they can survive.

"Master Lin, your garden is quite interesting. Don't you feel tired of so many sweet-scented osmanthus?" The boy didn't pause when he spoke, as if he was a little adult asking casually without expecting an answer.

Lin Shangshu also didn't want to have a bad relationship with the boy. This is the most beloved son of the person he bet on, or the most valued heir. In case in the future...

"It's a bit greasy, but children like sweet-scented osmanthus rain, so there are these sweet-scented osmanthus trees."

The boy walking in front didn't seem to need someone to carry the lamp in front. Hearing the old man's answer, he finally asked after a long time: "I didn't hear that Master Lin has a son, isn't he just a girl."

Lin Shangshu didn't think there was anything wrong with his concubine's daughter being called a 'girl', he said: "I've been sensitive and weak since I was a child, and I can't stand noise. Good people."

"Outsiders?" The boy's crisp voice was tinged with sarcasm.

Lin Shang wrote without changing his expression: "Of course, relatives far away are also relatives, and they cannot be regarded as outsiders."

The boy didn't bother with the disrespect in Lin Shangshu's words, but he was a little interested in the young master who raised him and the girl, and said, "Then where will I live in the future?"

Lin Shangshu: "Of course it's in the children's courtyard, where the guards are well guarded, so it's the most suitable place."

The boy glanced at Mr. Lin with no emotion in his eyes, but Lin Shangshu was terrified afterwards, but he didn't dare to ask a word.

"Is it here?" The boy raised his head, looked at the three words mentioned on the plaque on the small courtyard and said, "Yuexi Courtyard."

Lin Shangshu nodded hesitantly, and said, "Exactly, do you want to meet the kid first?"

The boy smiled and said, "It should be so."

After all, we went to the central room together, walked through the exquisite corridor and several elegant screens to the outside of the wing room, guarded by two beautiful maids outside, and when seeing Lin Shangshu, Ju knelt on the ground , said in a soft voice: "Master."

Lin Shangshu knocked on the door first, but didn't hear any movement inside, so he pushed open the carved wooden door and walked in.

The door opened, and a refreshing fragrance came blowing in. The first thing the boy saw was the hands of a young man in blue silk who was sleeping on the beauty's couch, holding the stove.

[The target is here, the mission begins. 】

The boy twitched his eyelashes slightly, looked at the person quietly, and then closed them completely.

Shen Man: Wait, the target is only five years old, I didn't expect you to be such a serious system.

[I see that you are very happy when teasing the little orc. 】

Shen Man: No, I was joking.

[Then take this as a joke, it's very simple, a total of [-] points, more than enough to repair your broken body, if it weren't for me being the system, I would have done it by myself. 】

Shen Man: ...

[Hurry up, I don't know how long it has been a year here, don't wait for you to go back, the corpses will be buried. 】

Shen Man: He's only five years old, I...why scumbag him?

【Stupid, let him fall in love with you first, love you to death, and then let him be scumbags. 】

[Just like developing a game, you don't need to feel guilty, it's all data, it's still abnormal data, it doesn't matter. 】

[Hurry up, don't be inked, we're all waiting. 】

"Yu'er, wake up, let me introduce you to my distant cousin who will be staying temporarily in the future." Lin Shangshu only revealed his true feelings when facing his son-in-law, "How about another day..."

Lin Shangshu helplessly spoke halfway to the boy when he was interrupted by the boy's slightly hoarse soft voice: "Father..."

"Hey, let me introduce you to a distant cousin. I mentioned it to you before, and he will only arrive tonight. From now on, he will live in the wing next door." After Mr. Lin explained, he turned to the boy and said, "This is Your cousin Lin Yu."

The next second, the boy was stared at by the young man's misty eyes for a second, and then he said, "Rong Wei, call me Li'er, cousin Yu'er." The plainly dressed boy looked into the dark eyes. In Shen Man's heart, Shen Man, who had become Lin Yu, had an inexplicably bad premonition.

[Don't be cowardly, just do it! 】

So the young man showed a shy smile, with an intoxicating dimple on the corner of his mouth, probably because he had never seen an outsider before, and he tugged at the corner of Mrs. Lin's clothes, he didn't know what to say, finally he saw that the boy was fat and cute, so he said : "Li'er is new here, and she is alone, how about sleeping in the green shadow cabinet tonight?"

The small room in the master bedroom is always empty, but its level of comfort is completely comparable to that of the adjacent room, only smaller, and it is only separated from Shen Man's bed by a curtain.

[Ouch, isn't this very good, a lonely man and a widow share a room, crawling on the bed in the middle of the night, white stripes in the waves...]

Shen Man: My body is only ten years old, please shut up.

The boy walked over with his head up, glanced at the small stove held by the boy again, raised his head and smiled innocently and said, "Okay."

The boy's cheeks were blushing from the adorable smile on his pouty face like a little hamster, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the boy's cheek with a gentle movement: "It's so cute."

Master Lin was taken aback, and wanted to say something, but saw that the boy didn't feel disgusted, and sat on the couch spontaneously to talk with each other intimately, so he thought about it, didn't bother him, and ordered the servant to bring some Yikehua snacks Come.

【yooooooooooo】

Shen Man: Shut up.
