Lin's Confession
Su Liang saw Peng Qian again. He was conscious, his eyes were watery, and he said weakly, "Thank you... Thank you..."
"For your old father and your children, I hope you don't give up on yourself. You will get better." Su Liang looked serious.
Peng Fan's eyes fell on the rabbit purse on Su Liang's waist again, and he looked at Su Liang with a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
Peng Qian was not in good spirits, so Su Liang just said a few words to him, and left after acupuncture.
There was nothing planned to do today, so Su Liang asked the old housekeeper if the tea garden was far away.
The old housekeeper said that there was a large tea garden near Lingyin Temple on the outskirts of the city, and Su Liang could go there anytime if he wanted to.
"Then go and take a look, and prepare some food and fruits." Su Liang ordered.
Half an hour later, Su Liang went out, got on a low-key and luxurious carriage, and went to the direction of the tea garden.
In addition to the medicine box, she also brought a medical book that she had not finished reading before, as well as her notes, which had been sorted out by Gu Ling and sandwiched in the book.
Su Liang opened it and the latest page of notes came into view. She wanted to put it aside, but after a glance, she took it in front of her again.
"How can I defeat that weirdo of the great god?"
This was written by Su Liang when she was distracted while reading a book two days ago.
The following two lines "1. Daydreaming" and "2. Dreaming at night" are exactly the same as Su Liang's handwriting. She couldn't help but wonder if she wrote it in her sleepwalking, because she was very sure that she had never written it and could not write it in a waking state!
But Su Liang didn't have the habit of sleepwalking, and she reacted the next moment that this must be the handwriting of a weird great god.
You know, Su Liang started to learn calligraphy after crossing over, which was to copy Gu Ling's handwriting. Later, he learned another font, which was Ning Jing's.
Therefore, the handwriting of two people can be confused with each other's, making it difficult to distinguish.
If Gu Ling was here, Su Liang would definitely smear the paper on his face and tell him "Let's wait and see".
But at this moment, Su Liang was alone in the carriage. He just snorted, put down his notebook, and continued reading.
On the way, he passed the street where he was assassinated last night and heard people talking outside that several bodies were found here early in the morning.
Su Liang did not investigate because they were all dead men and nothing could be found. And the person who wanted to kill her was just a prince in the capital.
Su Liang and Duanmu Sheng are now in a life-and-death relationship, and they both know it.
Duanmu Sheng himself knows best what he has done. At this point, he should also understand that after Duanmu Ao died, the Wan family fell, and Wan Cong was beheaded, Su Liang would never let him go.
Therefore, there is only one way for Duanmu Sheng to survive, which is to kill Su Liang first.
In contrast, Su Liang is not afraid of Duanmu Sheng, who has been forced to the point of desperation by her, but the fact that he wants to kill him is unchangeable.
The carriage stopped, Su Liang put the notes back into the book, closed the book and put it away, opened the curtain, and saw the greenery everywhere, feeling relaxed and happy.
The driver was the grandson of the old housekeeper. Su Liang only knew that his nickname was Ah Si, a dark-skinned boy with a simple smile.
The steward of the tea garden had been waiting at the door with a group of people for a long time. When he saw Su Liang, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but she stopped him.
Ah Si carried Su Liang's medicine box in one hand and the food he brought for her in the other hand, and followed into the tea garden.
The steward respectfully introduced the situation of the tea garden to Su Liang. She knew tea and asked some questions, which made the steward feel that she was quite knowledgeable and dared not neglect her.
After a general tour of the tea garden, Su Liang was invited to a pavilion built on a small hill. Ah Si said that his grandfather had mentioned that Mr. Ning liked to come to the tea garden to drink tea and play chess when he had time, so he built this pavilion specifically.
On the table were tea, various snacks, seasonal fruits, and Su Liang's medicine box.
She asked everyone to leave, and she stood by the pavilion, admiring the scenery of the tea garden for a while, then sat down to drink some tea, eat two snacks and a peach, thinking that the peach preserves dried at home should be ready in three to five days.
The breeze was blowing, and Su Liang liked the faint fragrance of tea trees in the air. She opened the medical book and continued to read it. She also took out the four treasures of the study in the medicine box, circled the strange question and someone's strange answer, and continued to take notes on it.
Su Liang didn't know if Gu Ling had followed secretly, but this position was too conspicuous, and he would definitely not appear.
Near noon, the steward came to ask Su Liang if he wanted to have a meal in the tea garden, saying that his wife's cooking skills were good, and if Su Liang didn't mind, he could prepare a meal for her.
Su Liang asked the steward to prepare it, and she planned to finish reading the book today before leaving.
"Miss!"
Hearing Ah Si calling her, Su Liang looked up and saw Ah Si walking over with someone, who looked familiar.
As they got closer, Su Liang saw who was coming, was slightly stunned, and closed the book in her hand.
"This young man said he had something urgent to do with Miss, so Grandpa asked someone to bring him here! Do you know him, Miss?" Ah Si asked.
Su Liang nodded, "He's my friend. You can go down."
...
The dusty Lin Qi sat down opposite Su Liang, and seeing an empty teacup that no one was using, he picked up the teapot and filled himself with a cup of tea. He drank it all in one gulp, took a long breath, looked at Su Liang, and looked at him with concern, "Are you okay?"
Su Liang looked indifferent, "Didn't Young Master Lin go to the north to join the army, saying that he wanted to bring honor to the family? How come he has time to come here?"
Lin Qi sighed deeply, "Is he really dead?"
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, Ning Jing is really dead."
Lin Qi lowered his eyes, "Although we were not close friends, he was a very interesting person. I made friends with him sincerely. He also said that I was his friend. I thought that when we met again, you had already become husband and wife, but I didn't expect..."
"Please accept my condolences." Su Liang said calmly.
Lin Qi wanted to say this to Su Liang, but he didn't expect to hear it from Su Liang first. He couldn't help but feel sad, "To be honest, before I heard you say that he was dead, I always thought that there might be other hidden reasons. He just didn't want to be an official anymore, so he faked his death to escape, travel around the world, or find a paradise to live in seclusion. In fact, I don't know much about him, but I have a hunch that he can do such a thing."
Su Liang was silent. Lin Qi's intuition was quite accurate, but there were some secrets that he would not know.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Qi said seriously, "I asked for leave from the Marquis and came to visit you. I will return to Xuanbei City later. He is very worried about you, but he has an important task and cannot leave."
"Thank you, please tell Uncle Xing that I am fine and will return to the capital in a few days." Su Liang said.
"I am glad you are fine." Lin Qi hesitated for a while and changed the subject, talking about the situation in the northern part of Gan State after Su Liang left Xuanbei City.
"Now Chen Yun is in charge of training the troops. With the new method you proposed, the overall strength of the army has been significantly improved. In Xuanbei City, no matter where you go, you can hear people praising you, and some people say you are a natural general." Lin Qi said.
Su Liang shook his head, "It's exaggerated. I haven't been on the battlefield."
"Even so, I believe that if you lead troops to fight one day, you will definitely be very powerful." Lin Qi said.
"Are Chen Yun's parents in good health?" Su Liang asked.
Lin Yu nodded, "After receiving your treatment, their health has improved a lot. But you also know that the two old people are both worried, and they can't get better if they can't find Chen Xiao."
"I asked someone to help find him, but there is no news yet." Su Liang said.
"I have been paying attention to it for the past few years, but I have also found nothing." Lin Yu sighed slightly, "In fact, this is also Chen Yun's worry. He is just like me on the surface, carefree, but he has a lot of things in his heart that he doesn't want to talk about."
"You are much more stable than before." Su Liang said.
Lin Yu shook his head, "My friend has passed away, I can't laugh and joke anymore, it's not like I don't care."
"Anything else?" Su Liang asked.
Lin Qi frowned, "You're going to chase me away now? I came from afar, and I only drank two cups of tea, and I'm almost starving. After all, I'm your master of disguise. If you're in a bad mood, you can't ignore me even if you beat me up, right?"
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal, and I'll beat you up after the meal, and you can't fight back."
Lin Qi's mouth twitched, and he looked up at the sky speechlessly...
The tea garden manager's wife cooked authentic home-cooked dishes, especially a dish of green tea minced meat and tofu. Su Liang liked it very much, and immediately called the manager and his wife to ask how to make it.
Lin Qi quietly tasted the delicious food and listened to Su Liang talking to the manager's wife.
After the people left, Lin Qi sighed, "Looking at you, I always feel as if nothing has happened, he is still here, and you learned the recipe to go back and make it for him."
Su Liang's hand paused slightly, but because it was under the table, Lin Qi didn't notice it.
This person's intuition is too sharp... Su Liang thought, she has to be careful and can't let Lin Qi find the flaw.
Seeing Su Liang silent, Lin Qi thought he talked about her sad things, and apologized quickly.
"It's okay, I thought you came to pursue me after knowing that Ning Jing was dead, but I didn't expect that you have such deep feelings for him." Su Liang said shockingly.
Lin Qi was choked by a mouthful of soup, covering his chest and coughing...
After a while, Lin Qi looked at Su Liang again, and said in a faint tone, "Since you are so direct, I will say it directly. Ning Jing's body is still warm, if I say I want to pursue you, it seems very inhuman, but I admit that I do plan to pursue you after you get your mood in order. I like you very much. I gave up when I knew I couldn't compare with Ning Jing. Now I hope you can give me a chance."
Su Liang ate quietly, as if he didn't hear it.
So after Lin Qi's confession, the atmosphere became very awkward.
Lin Qi also picked up the chopsticks again, but he had no taste for food. He came here just to see Su Liang and had no intention of confessing his feelings, but Su Liang pointed out his thoughts first, so he said it directly. Now he regrets it a little. He can't figure out what Su Liang is thinking, and he just feels that this is not a good time.
When Su Liang put down his chopsticks, Lin Qi also put down his chopsticks silently.
"Your cousin Duanmu Che also had a part in killing Ning Jing." Su Liang spoke again.
Lin Qi had just imagined countless ways for Su Liang to reject him, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly mention Duanmu Che, and he didn't expect that Duanmu Che would kill Ning Jing.
"Is he doing this to get you?" Lin Qi's face sank.
Su Liang nodded, "Maybe. Although I can't understand why Duanmu Che hated me so much at first and then changed so much, maybe some people just do whatever they want, get what they want, and never give up."
"Is he crazy?" Lin Qi's anger came from his expectations for Duanmu Che. After all, they had a brotherly relationship since childhood. That man was once Lin Qi's responsibility and he ran around to seek medical treatment for him.
"I'm just telling you this." Su Liang said, "You are you, he is him. But I want to ask, if I want to kill Duanmu Che, will you stop me?"
Lin Qi's face was ugly. After a long silence, he asked Su Liang, "Did Duanmu Che kill Ning Jing?"
Su Liang shook his head, "Not really. Duanmu Che took action, but he didn't succeed."
"If it is true that he killed Ning Jing, I will blame myself very much, because his survival to this day has a lot to do with me." Lin Wei sighed, "If you have evidence, you must avenge Ning Jing. It is a matter of course and I have no reason to stop him. "He and I are not destined to be together, and the brotherhood I had in the past was just wishful thinking. Although my grandfather left his last wish for me to take care of him, I can't help others in vain."
"Okay." Su Liang nodded, "There's no need for you to pursue me. If you can't catch up, don't waste your efforts and hurt your feelings."
Lin Yan was stunned by Su Liang's sudden U-turn again. He stared at her blankly and was speechless for a long time. He should have been sad when his confession was rejected, but in the end he couldn't help laughing, " Did you learn from Ning Jing to talk so irritatingly? Or is it because of this that you two got together?"
"I learned it from him." Su Liang said that she was influenced by Gu, and she was originally very gentle. It's not an excessive situation, this kind of thing needs to be cut through quickly. It had nothing to do with anyone else. She thought Lin Yi was very nice and truly regarded him as a friend, but she didn't feel that way.
"Do you really not consider me at all?" Lin Wei also let go and returned to his original casual appearance. He held his face in his hands and looked at Su Liang aggrievedly, "Am I that bad? Even Ningjing Not even a single hair on my head?”
Su Liang shook his head, "No. You are at least two hairs better than him. Don't underestimate yourself."
Lin Yi:......
"Chen Yun told me before I came here that you wouldn't accept me, and sure enough." Lin Yun rubbed his face and sat up straight, "But what did you mean by hurting feelings just now? There are feelings between us. ?”
"Don't cross the line, you can be friends. If you cross the line, you can't be friends." Su Liang told Lin Wei her principles for making friends very simply and rudely.
Lin Xin nodded faintly, "I understand, should I thank you for your honesty? I just like your honesty. Hey, what nonsense am I talking about? I take it back, I didn't cross the line! But..."
Lin Wei suddenly approached and stared into Su Liang's eyes, "What kind of thing do you like? I can't do it, what about Chen Yun's kind?"
Su Liang opened Lin Xie's head with a slap, "None of you can do that!"
Lin Wei lamented, "Then we can live together! I won't come to your place for abuse!"
Su Liang nodded, "I think this will work."
"Just kidding, I like cute girls. Who wants to live with that bearded rough guy like Chen Yun?" Lin Wei shook his head and stood up, "Aren't you going to beat me up? Come on, I'll go back after the beating!"
"The fight just happened, you can leave." Su Liang said.
Lin Yan looked at Su Liang, dumbfounded, "Su Xiaoliang, you are really good! This trip is not in vain. After meeting you, I feel that after Ningping left, you can take care of yourself, and you are good at hitting and scolding others." Strength, that's right! In that case, I'm going back. It's said that I want to make a great contribution to my family. It would be too shameful to give up halfway! You can kill whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me! I want to see who you will marry in the end! immortal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xian emptied the fruit plate and snacks on the table, put them in the cloth bag he brought with him, and walked away with them.
