Chapter 235 Both rain and dew are touched
He patted Chu Qiu on the shoulder again: "Good brother!"
Then I tapped on Wu Ziyan's shoulder, but I noticed that her shoulder was injured.
Wu Chengji withdrew his hand again. He stood there, looking extremely worried.
"Big sister, Sister Chu Yu, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Chu Yu seemed to enjoy hearing her call her "sister," and with a satisfied look on her face, she walked into the mansion and told them about their situation.
After Sima Lingchuan reunited with his younger brother, his brother became extremely anxious.
She cried as she grabbed Sima Lingchuan's hand, asking, "Brother, are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry." Cheng Yi tactfully handed him a handkerchief.
They went inside, and there were only the two of them. Sima Lingyu wept uncontrollably, while Cheng Yi stood guard outside.
He cried, "Brother, if it weren't for me, Jiu'an Prefecture wouldn't have suffered such a disaster!"
"What does this have to do with you? This is a fight between women."
"Brother, why didn't you come back with the Fourth Prince?"
"She arranged for me to come first, and stayed behind with Chu Qiu. There must be something going on, right?"
"Brother, aren't you afraid that His Highness will fall in love with someone else?"
"If all those younger brothers are good people, it's okay, right?"
"Brother, you're just too good!"
"Ziyan will be here soon. Sigh, what a pity about my hair. The top layer is all burnt and messy."
"Ziyan loves my hair the most; she'll definitely worry if she sees it."
Sima Lingyu felt that his brother had completely gone mad, only thinking about Ziyan! Ziyan!
And the men around her, one after another, came one after another.
He didn't understand what kind of woman was worth such sacrifice.
"Brother, is the Fourth Prince really that good?"
Sima Lingchuan thought about it, and at that time he also felt that there might be no hope in this lifetime.
But after we finally understood each other, I realized that she was that kind of person, someone I could entrust my life to.
His other brothers had thought the same thing, but the person he entrusted to them remained the same.
However, he had already made up his mind to divorce Wu Chengye!
"Little brother, you will meet a good person, someone you can entrust your life to."
"If this comes to light, I hope you and the Second Princess will divorce!"
He was only thinking about it in his mind; he never imagined his brother would say it out loud.
He even thought he would disagree, perhaps due to his traditional thinking.
"Brother, you understand me best. And Mother... I'm afraid...!"
Just then, they heard laughter and chatter outside; it must be Wu Ziyan returning.
Sima Lingyu noticed that Sima Lingchuan seemed a little nervous, even though it wasn't their first meeting.
They've been married for so long, why would he be nervous?
"Lingyu, am I presentable as I am?"
His brother's expression revealed that his heart was filled with thoughts of Wu Ziyan.
He nodded. He looked presentable, even if he was a little messy. He didn't believe Wu Ziyan would dislike him.
They went outside and saw Chu Qiu standing beside her, with the rest of the people surrounding her in a circle.
They exchanged pleasantries back and forth, while he just stood there, waiting.
When Wu Ziyan walked through the crowd and looked at him, he had his usual warm smile on his face.
With eyes that couldn't see anything else, Wu Ziyan quickly went over, as promised, to share the favor equally.
He took Sima Lingchuan's hand, which was wrapped in two layers of gauze.
It was all because of saving that Zhang Langguan, to put it bluntly.
The lives and deaths of others are completely unimportant to her.
But Sima Lingchuan, that won't do, he's not the apple of her eye.
She asked with concern, "Is your hand feeling better? You're so silly, why did you rush in to save people?"
"After all, he is one of our household members, and he is under my jurisdiction."
Well, she felt too responsible. She gently took his hand, her eyes filled with genuine heartache.
These skillful hands will need some time to heal.
Chu Qiu also nodded to everyone present.
Today's events have come to a temporary end, but something big may happen tonight.
Wu Chengji, as the host, stood there, while Changsun Bozong came out from inside.
"Wu Chengji... General, please don't let everyone stand outside, let's come inside to talk."
I'm used to calling her by her name, and I blurted it out without thinking.
"Yes, everyone, let's go inside quickly. Don't stand here; it's chilly at night."
The crowd entered the hall in large numbers, and several more chairs were added before everyone could sit down.
His residence hadn't been so lively with so many people in a long time.
"So much happened today, everyone should get some rest tonight."
"Fourth Sister, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"
When Wu Chengji said those words, Changsun Bozong nudged her with his elbow.
His eyes kept glancing at Sima Lingchuan, as if to say, "How can he be so clueless?"
Her husband is still here, what kind of logic is it for her to want to sleep with him?
Afraid of being a beat too slow to react, but still managed to figure it out, and gave an awkward laugh.
"I was just kidding. I've already arranged guest rooms for everyone. Go to sleep early."
After exchanging only a few words, everyone dispersed, as they were all genuinely tired today.
They each returned to their own rooms, with Wu Ziyan naturally going back to her room with Sima Lingchuan.
Chu Qiu walked alone behind, looking rather forlorn. Huang Ziliang, on the other hand, seemed to have little presence; he never competed or fought for anything.
Chu Yu put her arm around Chu Qiu's shoulder from behind and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Is your little brother unhappy?"
He shook his head, looked at his third sister who was about the same age as him, and said, "Third sister, I said something I shouldn't have said today."
"Let me hear it."
"I said I wanted to be the second one in her household."
"As expected of my brother, you have ambition. With your status, being the second one is not unworthy. So how can you say you misspoke?"
"Isn't it enough that the Queen is suspicious of us because of our status?"
"If I were to marry her again, would she become the next Wu Chengye?"
Chu Qiu's thinking was truly profound; she hadn't considered this possibility at all.
After he pointed it out, she suddenly realized that it meant there was no chance for her and Qi Zexuan.
"It's alright, little brother. Things will work themselves out. Besides, I think the Fourth Prince likes you quite a bit, so that's enough."
You haven't even taken care of your own affairs yet, do you understand? And you've already run to Chu Qiu to act as his strategist.
That's really naive; one person tells you something and you believe it. Huang Ziliang was always walking behind them.
He had some indescribable feelings, but he didn't seem to have any worries about his status.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that being an ordinary citizen is pretty good too.
Wu Ziyan pulled Sima Lingchuan back into the room, reminding everyone that one should be single-minded when dealing with anyone.
She wasn't thinking about anything right now, she was just focused on the person in front of her, and her hand slowly touched his hair.
