Chapter 162 Things go wrong, enter the county at night
Leng Xuanrong sat there staring at her red and swollen cheeks in the bronze mirror and the bright red fingerprints. She gradually felt no pain, and her mind gradually turned to He Ruiping.
Generally speaking, Leng Xuanrong should be willing to revenge on He Ruiping, but looking at these fingerprints, Leng Xuanrong seemed to be a little shaken. Since she heard from Zeng Yanliang that the Liang family was killed on the road, Leng Xuanrong was shaken.
In this world, only Leng Xuanrong knows about the so-called previous life. Is the past life that only one person knows true? Leng Xuanrong sometimes feels that her previous life was just a dream, but this statement can't calm Leng Xuanrong down. Of course, she knows that no dream can be as real and not as clear as a dream. That previous life has really existed, and it is inextricably linked to the world where she is now, but it has nothing to do with it. What happened in the previous life may happen again in this life, and what happened in the previous life may also change in this life.
A lot of things have changed.
Since the moment Leng Xuanrong heard her father's call in this life, many things in this life have changed.
From the shopkeeper Han of the Moge, to the mainland media woman, to the Liu family, to Li Duen, and finally to Liang Qiurong's family, Leng Xuanrong's revenge one by one, but the hatred in her heart has never disappeared. Now Leng Xuanrong looks at her swollen face by He Ruiping, but she can't lift any energy to hate her.
Leng Xuanrong asked herself, what's wrong? Why does the chosen road suddenly become blurred? Don't you want revenge?
This idea came to Leng Xuanrong's mind, and Leng Xuanrong shook her head vigorously. She can't give up revenge, and she can't let the person who tortured her in her previous life still live freely in this life. If she doesn't take revenge, what's the point of her rebirth? Even if she gives up her revenge on He Ruiping now, as long as there is news from Du Yilin, she will still face the fight between Du Yilin and He Lijing. There is still only one final result, either you die or I live.
Leng Xuanrong knows that he is just a pawn in Du Yilin's hand, a pawn that may be abandoned at any time. Today's tranquility is just a moment before the mountain rain is about to come.
Can't be shaken. Since you will definitely be involved in this life-and-death struggle in the end, don't care about other things. Even without the old hatred of the previous life, the He family can no longer escape in this life.
Leng Xuanrong reluctantly suppressed her anxiety and waited for about two or three hours. Finally, a clerk came to tell Leng Xuanrong that Meng Zhuangqing invited her over.
Leng Xuanrong looked up and saw that the sky had darkened, and it seemed that it was time to hold the lamp. She deliberately changed into a moon-white shirt, which could better match the fingerprints on her face. After changing, Leng Xuanrong went to the front yard to find Meng Zhuangqing. Meng Zhuangqing told Leng Xuanrong with a bitter face that someone had sent back the news that An Pingzhi had returned to the county magistrate's mansion. Leng Xuanrong wanted to ask An Pingzhi what he was going to do, but when she saw Meng Zhuangqing's appearance of "I won't tell you anything more", she had to focus on what happened in front of her and gave up for the time being.
got on the soft sedan chair, and Leng Xuanrong went straight to the county magistrate.
When Leng Xuanrong arrived at the door of the county magistrate's mansion, he found that two big red lanterns in front of the door had been lit. The gatekeeper told Leng Xuanrong that it was time for dinner in the county magistrate's mansion, and everyone was in the dining room, and I'm afraid it would be inconvenient to pass it. When Leng Xuanrong heard this, he was secretly happy and stuffed a silver ingot for the gatekeeper. After a few more words, the gatekeeper ran into the house happily to report.
There is only one table in the dining room of the county governor's mansion today, which makes the huge dining room more empty.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very solemn. He Lijing held a rice bowl in his hand, but he didn't move his chopsticks much. Mrs. He, sitting next to him, looked at He Lijing, and then looked at He Ruiping next to her. She seemed to know something, so she first said to An Pingzhi, "I heard that Mr. An and Ruiping went to the folding Liuhui in the Degu Tower?"
Anpingzhi nodded and answered softly, "It's true."
Mrs He asked with a smile, "What Mr. An saw, how about this student from Wuming County?"
An Pingzhi had no appetite in the first place. He simply put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to Mrs. He, "I'm only addicted to music. I really don't understand the knowledge done by their ungrateful scientists."
When Mrs. He heard this, she shook her head and smiled, "Mr. An is too modest. Who doesn't know that Mr. An was also instructed by a famous teacher? It's just that you really don't have to pay attention to Enke... In this way, my second son is also studying in the imperial city now, and the eldest son will also participate in Enke this year.
He Lijing heard that his wife finally provoked a speech and hurriedly answered, "Yes, I don't know how the child is prepared." After saying that, he turned his head and asked An Pingzhi, "Has the child ever visited the prime minister's mansion in the imperial city?"
An Pingzhi thought about it. In fact, he had no good impression of the people of the He family, but after all, there was a marriage contract, so An Pingzhi knew a little about the He family. An Pingzhi also knew about He Lijing's two sons studying in a famous private school in the imperial city, but whether the two went to visit their first assistant prime minister's office or not, An Pingzhi really had no impression. After all, there are so many people coming in and out of the Prime Minister's mansion every day, and An Pingzhi usually doesn't pay attention to it.
"I think the two sons should have been there, but they concentrate on their studies, and it is not convenient for their father to let them stay in the house for a long time."
He Lijing nodded when he heard the words and was about to ask other common words when someone outside the door hurried in.
He Lijing looked up and saw that it was the gatekeeper of his county magistrate who came in.
"Let's talk about it later." He Lijing was a little angry and said to the gatekeeper in a low voice.
The gatekeeper knew that He Lijing would say this. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said, "Sir, the cold girl, the shopkeeper of the Raven Green Ink Pavilion, is here and is waiting outside. It's so late that a girl's family came alone and waited at the door of our house. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. I don't know if I can invite her first..."
Before the gatekeeper finished his words, He Lijing muttered in a low voice, "The cold girl of the Raven Green Ink Pavilion? Why is she here..."
At this time, He Ruiping, who had been eating silently beside her, suddenly put down her rice bowl and said loudly to He Lijing, "Father, don't see her!"
He Lijing turned his head and looked at He Ruiping. He Ruiping's face was full of anger. Only then did He Lijing realize that his daughter's anger today was related to Leng Xuanrong. No wonder no matter what she asked, she was silent.
"Please invite the cold girl to the guest hall, and I'll be there later." After saying that, He Lijing waved his hand to the gatekeeper.
But the gatekeeper didn't leave and said, "Miss Leng said that she wanted to see you, Mr. An and our young lady."
"Father! Look at Leng Xuanrong, who does she think she is? Say you can meet whoever you want?" He Ruiping vaguely felt that something was a little bad. She frowned and waved her hand at the gatekeeper and said angrily, "Why don't you go down? See you! Get rid of her!"
He Lijing didn't expect his daughter to be so disgusted with Leng Xuanrong. If he put it on weekdays, he would follow his daughter's meaning. If his daughter said she didn't see her, she would disappear. But today, He Lijing took a look at An Pingzhi and found that he frowned at his daughter. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with He Ruiping's behavior just now. He Lijing said in his heart that it was not good. If it went on like this, An Pingzhi might hate his precious daughter.
Such a thing must not happen. He Lijing hurriedly sank his face to He Ruiping and scolded, "Riping, the visitor is a guest. How can you let people rush out? What's more, Leng Xuanrong is the daughter of her father's old friend, which is commensurate with your sister. Even if she is rude, you should understand that she has been out for many years without discipline.
When He Ruiping heard that her father was talking for herself, she had to put up with it. She also saw An Pingzhi's eyes looking at her just now. I don't know if it was because she said something wrong in front of him during the day. Since An Pingzhi's return, he always seemed to be a little angry in his eyes.
He Ruiping secretly gritted her teeth, and it was all cold Xuanrong! The wild girl came at this time, and maybe she had a bad idea again! He Ruiping was a little worried, but when she looked at the door again, she found that the doorkeeper was missing. It seems that we have to see Leng Xuanrong tonight. She turned her head to look at her father and thought to herself that it was up to her father to make the decision for me tonight. It's better to scold Leng Xuanrong and then drive her out of the house to see if she has any face to see Mr. An in the future!
Dinner ended in a hurry, and An Pingzhi also followed He Lijing and He Ruiping to the guest hall.
This guest hall is at the front of the county's eunuch's mansion, entering from the main gate of the county's eunuch's mansion, bypassing a rock mountain, and then crossing a bluestone road, which is directly opposite this guest hall. Several doors of the guest hall are all open, and there are tables and chairs in the main seat directly opposite the door, accompanied by two rows of guest seats. There are celadon tea sets on each small square table, which looks very elegant.
When He Lijing and others came to the guest hall, they saw Leng Xuanrong sitting on the guest seat with a celadon teacup and drinking tea.
The room has already held the lamp, and eight glazed lamps illuminate the whole auditorium.
Leng Xuanrong also waited here for a while. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, saluted He Lijing and the three people who had just entered the room, and whispered, "It's really beg for mercy when I visit late at night."
He Lijing and An Pingzhi walked directly to the main seat, but when they turned around and saw Leng Xuanrong, who had just raised himself after salute, they couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.
