Bone and Flesh

[Familiar relatives]

It was still dark when Su Liang woke up. read

М

The bedding and pillows in Qiuming Villa were too soft, and she was not used to it.

No longer sleepy, I got dressed and got up. After washing my face with cold water and gargling my mouth, I opened the door and felt the slightly cold air blowing in my face.

It was not convenient to do morning exercises at other people's homes, so Su Liang planned to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise.

Before walking out of the courtyard, there was a creak, and when I turned around I saw Ningjing standing in the corridor.

"You can tell me if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Su Liang:......

When she went out, she met a rough woman.

"I'll go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise." He informed her to prevent Mrs. Xing and Xing Yusheng from thinking she was missing.

Ning Jing, who was not far behind, glanced at the sky and followed silently.

"If I want to leave, I won't even take my baggage with me." Su Liang said.

Ning Jing's face looked even colder in the hazy morning mist, "I misunderstood. But you have five thousand taels, so there is no need to carry any baggage."

This amount of money is enough for Su Liang to enjoy financial freedom for several years.

"You don't want me to leave?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing nodded, "I want to hire you to work for me."

Su Liang: ...Here we go again. She didn't plan to leave now, but she didn't want to make a promise easily.

The two chatted incessantly.

"You have no objection to Mrs. Xing?" Ning Jing asked.

"Because she wanted me to be Xing Yusheng's concubine?" Su Liang shook his head, "It's nothing. No one is perfect in terms of deeds and heart. She wanted to do that, but after I refused, she gave up. She was good to me because she wanted to I can be kind to Xing Yusheng because of this. Except for my close relatives, who doesn’t pay for it in return?”

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "The same is not true for the flesh and blood of our closest relatives."

"You..." Su Liang suddenly stopped and wanted to ask Ning Jing if he was the wanted Crown Prince Gu, but the words came to his lips, "What is the name of the Crown Prince Gu whom Qi Yan mentioned yesterday?"

"Gu Ling." Ning Jing's expression remained as usual.

Su Liang read it again and chuckled, "What a coincidence, it means the same as my name."

Ning Jing didn't say anything, and Su Liang didn't ask.

But there are some things that are already tacitly understood.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the sky got a little brighter.

The sky in the east is covered with clouds, and a dull red light shines through the clouds.

The sun is coming out.

However, that ray of light became brighter and brighter, but it did not break through the clouds.

The sky is bright and cloudy.

Su Liang couldn't help but sigh, "I have no chance with Sunrise."

In her previous life, she loved mountain climbing and climbed many famous mountains. But every time I wait for the sunrise with great expectations, even if I read the weather forecast in advance, it ends up being either cloudy or raining, which is never a coincidence.

…

When Xing Yusheng got up and washed up, a servant reported that two distinguished guests had gone up the mountain to watch the sunrise.

"So early?" Xing Yusheng was stunned and sighed, "They have such a good relationship!"

What he imagined was that before dawn, Ningjing and Su Liang were holding hands, maybe Ningjing was carrying Su Liang on her back, going up the mountain together, hugging each other and watching the magnificent moment when the sun burst out from the east. It was so romantic...

When Xing Yusheng saw Su Liang, he smiled and asked, "I heard that Ningjing carried you up the mountain on his back this morning? Is the sunrise beautiful?"

Ning Jing, who was drinking tea next to him, still looked like it had nothing to do with him.

Su Liang frowned slightly, "Which one is spreading rumors?"

Xing Yusheng was about to say that he was just joking, but Su Liang said seriously, "It's obviously me who is carrying him."

"Ahem..." Ning Jing choked on her tea.

Xing Yusheng looked shocked, with words written all over his face, "So you are really raising a pretty boy, and you actually dote on him so much"...

After reacting, he felt that Su Liang was joking, so he joked about Ning Jing.

Unexpectedly, Ningjing slowly wiped the tea on the table and said, "The mountain road is difficult to walk, so she had to carry me on her back."

If one person says it's a joke and two people say it, it's true.

Xing Yusheng was envious.

When Mrs. Xing once again mentioned that she wanted to marry Nian Ruxue to Xing Yusheng, he refused seriously. The reason was: He was in poor health and had to marry a royal concubine who could carry him up the mountain to watch the sunrise.

Old Mrs.

That’s a story for another day.

…

Xing Yusheng didn't know what happened that night just passed, he just wanted to entertain Ning Jing and Su Liang.

Su Liang said that he came to take a bath in the hot springs. The hot springs had been prepared, so he had to give her face.

But Pingjing refused because he wanted to play chess today.

Xing Yusheng: ...This pretty boy was spoiled by Su Liang!

Therefore, Xing Yusheng, who had previously offered to play chess with Ning Jing but was rejected twice, could only smile.

As a result, Prince Xing, who claimed to be a good chess player, was killed without leaving a piece of his armor, which made him very depressed.

When Su Liang came out of the hot spring, Xing Yusheng had already left because he needed to drink medicine.

After changing clothes and going out, I saw Ningjing sitting under a tree in the courtyard reading a book, with colorful leaves falling like butterflies.

"I'm going to give Prince Xing acupuncture." Su Liang said.

Ning Jing looked up and said, "I'll go later."

Su Liang thought he had something to do, so he walked over and sat down, "What's wrong?"

"Blow the cool breeze for a while." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang felt baffled.

"Your face." Ning Jing explained, still cherishing words like gold.

Su Liang suddenly understood. He touched it and found that his face was still warm, probably because the blush from the hot spring fumigation had not faded.

"Are you afraid that Xing Yusheng will fall in love with me?" Su Liang grabbed two leaves and handed one to Ning Jing.

Ning Jing took it and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, you guys are not suitable."

"Except being a concubine, what's inappropriate about it?" Su Liang asked.

"He's too stupid." Ning Jing said coldly, "If you were together, you might not be able to resist and beat him to death one day."

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. He doesn't even know that he's been fed poison every day. If I hadn't met you, I would have met the King of Hell long ago."

Seeing Ning Jing was about to put the leaf into the book, Su Liang smiled and said, "Let's play tug of war."

After Ning Jing listened to Su Liang's explanation of how to use the petiole to "tug of war", he threw away the leaf Su Liang gave him, stood up and picked another one...

Su Liang thought Ning Jing would think it was too childish and not play, but he didn't expect that he had a strong desire to win.

Xing Yusheng, who came to find Su Liang for acupuncture at the appointed time, saw the two sitting at the table opposite each other as soon as he entered the door, one holding a leaf and pulling it...

Xing Yusheng was puzzled, "What are you two doing?"

After Su Liang finished speaking, he coughed lightly and said, "Very interesting, who won?"

"Me." Su Liang chuckled.

Xing Yusheng also laughed, and suddenly felt balanced. No matter how good Ning Jing was at chess, he would lose in the leaf tug of war.

As a result, when Xing Yusheng went back and told the joke to his two subordinates, Qi Yan was amused, but Qi Jun said, "My Lord, Mr. Ning probably deliberately lost to Miss Su."

"Why?" Qi Yan was puzzled, "He played chess with our Lord, but he didn't give any face at all!"

Qi Jun looked serious, "Mr. Ning was trying to please Miss Su. Of course, he couldn't give in to the Lord."

Xing Yusheng: ...Su Liang hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, so can the two of them stop showing off their affection!

Ning Jing said that according to the order, if Yan Sui took action personally, he would definitely come to kill him first.

That day, Ning Jing and Su Liang left Qiu Ming Villa and went home, riding in the carriage sent by Xing Yusheng.

After that, Xing Yusheng still went to Sujia Village on time for acupuncture, and Ning Jing didn't see the black fog appearing between his eyebrows again.

Old Lady Xing was very happy because Xing Yusheng's complexion was getting better day by day, and he was no longer so weak that he had to rely on a wheelchair, and he could walk upright.

The moon was dark and the wind was high.

The petite man in black knelt on the ground with his back straight, "Father, give me another chance, I will tear Ning Jing into pieces!"

"Eighteen, I have high hopes for you, but I didn't expect... Alas! If the rules of Yanyun Tower are broken, how can I convince the crowd?" An old and low male voice.

After a moment of silence, the old man spoke again, "But you are my daughter. Although you are not my flesh and blood, you are my closest relative, and you are different from others."

The man in black raised his head, his eyes brightened, "Father..."

"Take a rest for a while and heal your wounds. Ning Jing and Xing Yusheng, I will personally deal with them." The old man said.

"Thank you, father." The man in black stood up.

"Bring the account book and give it to Seventeen for the time being." The old man said.

The man in black shook his head, "Godfather, for the sake of safety, the account books have been destroyed and stored in my mind."

The old man's eyes suddenly became deep, "Haha, that's great. Here, take this medicine to heal your wounds."

The medicine bottle flashed with jade light, and the man in black slowly walked towards the old man.

When the distance between the two was only one meter, they drew their swords almost at the same time and stabbed each other!
