Chapter 157 Jealousy
Chapter 157 Jealousy
Fu Yansheng's intuition told her that this matter was not simple at all, and his eyes revealed a bit of scrutiny.
Could it be that he is doubting my intentions?
Ling Mohui caught the subtle change in his eyes and pondered secretly in her heart.
It seems that Ling Zhiyun's usual tricks don't seem to work on me, and she can't easily move my heart like before.
Perhaps it's time to change strategy and deal with the situation in a completely different way.
Ling Mohui stood up from her chair in a bad mood. Her cold expression seemed to freeze the air around her instantly. She said coldly, "Didn't you ask me to show weakness and obey? Your condescending attitude now clearly shows an attitude of 'Ignore you, I can do it myself', doesn't it?"
"I go!"
Fu Yansheng reacted quickly. He held Ling Mohui's hand tightly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination and tenderness. He said softly but firmly, "I will go with you, no matter where."
"Really?"
Although Ling Mohui was secretly surprised in her heart, she could only force a smile on her face. Behind this smile was a complex emotion. She was neither completely convinced nor had a little expectation.
"Ah."
Fu Yansheng nodded, the tenderness flowing from his eyes to his voice, "I will ask Mo Yi to prepare all the necessities for tomorrow's trip. As for you, go back and have a good rest, and wait for my return with peace of mind."
His meticulous care made it impossible not to like him. Ling Mohui instantly understood why Ling Zhiyun had such a special liking for Fu Yansheng.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."
Ling Mohui forced a natural smile in response.
Fu Yansheng left a gentle kiss on her forehead, the warmth of which was like a spring breeze. Then he turned around resolutely and strode towards the palace for the morning court.
Ling Mohui had never expected that her first initiative to invite Fu Yansheng would go so smoothly. The stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground, and she felt relieved. So she decided to return to the room, make up for the lost sleep, and recuperate.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, Ling Mohui appeared in the front yard with full health. The scene before her surprised her a little.
Ling Zhiyun was busy directing the servants to carry the travel belongings, and everything looked very orderly.
"Be careful with that delicate folding table. Don't let it get damaged in any way!"
Ling Zhiyun's voice revealed a concern that could not be ignored.
“And all this food, make sure everything is packed properly, we may need it at any time during the trip!”
She was in command and clearly well prepared for the trip.
Ling Mohui quietly walked past Ling Zhiyun and noticed the bright and enthusiastic smile on her face. She deliberately moved closer and said in an almost flattering tone: "Sister, everything is ready. We can set off at any time."
It turned out that Fu Yansheng wanted to take this opportunity to take Ling Zhiyun with him on the trip!
Ling Mohui smiled bitterly inwardly. She should have expected this. How could Fu Yansheng abandon Ling Zhiyun and enjoy the travel with her alone?
However, these are not the key points. As long as she can successfully guide Fu Yansheng to leave the city full of restrictions, she will be proud enough, and her plan will have achieved initial success!
Stepping into the spacious carriage, Ling Mohui found that Fu Yansheng was already sitting there, holding a half-opened book in his hand, as if waiting for her arrival.
"In fact, I just found out that Yun'er is also joining us."
Fu Yansheng put down the book in his hand and explained slowly, his expression sincere and innocent.
Ling Mohui sneered in her heart. This was obviously an act. Didn't he inform Ling Zhiyun himself? She would not be easily fooled by this rhetoric.
"Oh."
Ling Mohui just responded dryly, and Fu Yansheng seemed to have noticed her indifference, so he didn't continue the topic.
Soon, Ling Zhiyun also boarded the carriage. She smiled and said, "Husband, sister, everything is ready, we can set off."
Fu Yansheng gently closed the book, his eyes lingered on Ling Mohui for a moment, as if looking for some kind of confirmation, and then he softly agreed: "Let's go."
The carriage finally stopped at the foot of a lush mountain.
Ling Zhiyun led the servants to set up tables and chairs by the clear lake, and took out carefully made cakes from the food basket.
"Husband, this is the snack I made especially for you this morning. How do you like it?"
Ling Zhiyun's voice was full of tenderness and expectation.
Fu Yansheng took the pastry, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Ling Mohui who was sitting opposite him. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
Ling Zhiyun seemed to sense the subtle changes in the air. She asked gently, "Sister, are you hungry? Do you want to try some too?"
"No, since it's so rare for me to come out, I prefer to try something fresh and exciting. For example, freshly caught wild fish!"
Having said that, Ling Mohui rolled up her trouser legs, borrowed a long sword from the accompanying guard, jumped into the lake nimbly, and began her fishing operation.
Ling Zhiyun leaned on Fu Yansheng's strong shoulders, and the two shared their warm moments in this peaceful landscape. Ling Mo turned around, and with a flash of sword light, a lively fish was accurately stabbed and slowly lifted out of the water, splashing a string of crystal water.
"Caught!"
She happily plucked the silver fish deftly from the sword, a smile of accomplishment on her face.
However, in her excitement, she was not careful with her feet and the fine grass seemed to lose friction, causing her body to suddenly lose balance and the whole world began to spin before her eyes.
She fell right into a warm and solid embrace. It was Fu Yansheng's chest, with the faint scent of ink and sunshine.
The fish that had just been captured seemed to want to take the opportunity to escape this sudden change. It cleverly jumped onto the hem of Ling Zhiyun's exquisite embroidered skirt, splashing water droplets, which formed a sharp contrast with her light pink skirt.
Ling Zhiyun couldn't help but let out a series of crisp screams, and quickly stepped back, frowning slightly. The moment she turned her head, she saw Ling Mohui lying on Fu Yansheng in a slightly awkward posture. This scene made her eyes flash with a hint of complexity.
Fu Yansheng's eyes were full of care, as gentle as the warm spring sun. He looked at Ling Mohui and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
This meticulous consideration made the air around them seem gentler.
Ling Zhiyun's anger was instantly ignited, and her tone was mixed with disbelief: "Sister, what are you doing?"
There was blame and subtle jealousy in her words.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I just lost my balance and fell accidentally."
