Jiang Shang was still about to say something to Manmiao, when he heard a burst of rapid footsteps approaching from far away.
Lan Ting hurriedly walked in from the door. As soon as he saw Jiang Shang, before he even stepped across the threshold, he smiled politely and said, "It turns out to be Gang Leader Jiang. I'm sorry for missing you."
He seemed to have just come back from the palace, and he was still wearing the court uniform of a four-clawed golden dragon. I don't know if it was the effect of the court uniform, or he no longer concealed his temperament. His whole person looked majestic, which was completely inconsistent with his past image of a playboy.
Manmiao knew that he did not want to be disgraced in front of Jiang Shang, so he revealed his true face that he had always hidden.
For such a big man, and yet such a childish behavior, Manmei didn't even know what to say to him.
When Jiang Shang saw Lan Ting, his expression did not change. He stood up and greeted Lan Ting very elegantly and politely.
As soon as Lan Ting came over, he sat directly on the main seat, sitting side by side with Man Miao, like a couple greeting guests.
Manmiao is now living in Lan Ting's place, and her face is red and her teeth are white because of Lan Ting's nourishment. It's not that Jiang Shang doesn't know, he just doesn't want to think about these things too much, but Lan Ting came here specifically, so he can't help but think about it.
Any other man would have wanted to kill Lan Ting, but after all, Jiang Shang was the master of the family, and the city was very rich, so he actually held back his emotions and didn't have much emotion.
When Lan Ting came back, Jiang Shang couldn't talk to Manmiao anymore, so he said goodbye after saying a few polite words.
Looking at Jiang Shang's leaving figure, Lan Ting smiled proudly and said, "How's it going? I'll make you proud today?"
Manmei looked at him inexplicably, "What are you doing to make me look embarrassed? Your face is on your body, what does it have to do with me?"
Lan Ting smiled and said, "I want Jiang Shang to know that you are very discerning in choosing men."
For this kind of person, I was really speechless and asked the sky. Meandiao rolled her eyes and said, "I am really blind when I choose you, okay?"
"Did Jiang Shang come to explain to you?" Lan Ting was very interested, "Tell me what's going on?"
Manmei looked back at Zhuxiang, "No one in the house told you? I didn't avoid people."
"But I want to hear what you have to say."
The news Jiang Shang brought also surprised her, and she didn't mind sharing it with Lan Ting.
"He said that Chu Xiner is dead, the cousin with whom he had an agreement to hide his beauty in a golden house." Manmiao and Lan Ting went outside for a walk.
The autumn wind was very cold, and she felt that she needed some wind to cool her head.
"He suspects that it was you who did it?" Lan Ting's thoughts were the same as Manmei's, or Lan Ting was considering things according to Manmei's thinking.
Manmiao shook her head, "I thought so at first. Later, he said that a senior monk told him that Chu Xiner would not live more than two months."
"I remember you said that you heard them talking in the temple." Lan Ting's eyes also shone with doubt.
Looking at his expression, Manmei knew that he was thinking the same thing as her, "I don't know now whether what Jiang Shang said is true or false. After all, I can't go to Yue Country to see if Chu Xiner is dead.
.”
"You don't believe what he said?" Lan Ting was surprised, "I thought your intestines were going to turn green now. I'm afraid if you show up later, you should leave with him."
Manmiao pinched him angrily, "Who do you think I am? Can I do anything I can?"
Lan Ting didn't even dare to hide, and screamed, "I just think that since you two have misunderstood, you should reconcile."
Before he could say anything, he saw Manmiao's cold face. He approached her with a playful smile, put his arm around Manmiao's shoulders and said, "Of course, I don't want you to reconcile. If you reconcile, I will be alone.
"
He told the truth, and Manmei felt better, "Then be happy, I won't leave with him."
"What? Do you think being the Queen of Lan Country is better than being Mrs. Jiang?" Lan Ting said this with a smile. If it had been anyone else, Manmiao would have slapped her away, but if it had been him, Manmiao didn't feel angry at all.
.
He turned his head and thought for a moment, "Among the men I know, the most likely to be emperor are you and Qin Qifeng. Forget Qin Qifeng, I can't expect to be the queen of Qin in this life. Maybe you still have a chance to ask me to try to be queen.
of majesty.”
Patting Lan Ting's shoulder hard, "It's up to you, His Majesty the Emperor."
Lan Ting pretended to be a little eunuch, held his graceful hand and said, "I will help your empress back to the palace."
The two of them were making a fuss and couldn't stop laughing. Manmei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Somehow, I just don't believe what Jiang Shang said. As soon as he explained Chu Xiner's matter to me, everything in my mind
What I was thinking about was that when Deng Yanshuo protected me and jumped out of the boat, I saw his figure in the air, and I always felt that he was standing on the boat and coldly watching me fall."
She pulled Lan Ting to sit on the stone chair by the lake. Lan Ting held her in his arms without hesitation, "It's cold on the bench, so sit on me."
Regardless of whether Lan Ting was trying to take advantage or was really worried about her getting cold, she was very grateful. She put her arms around him and rested her head on Lan Ting's shoulder, "You know what? I was really scared and helpless at that time.
help.
I know so many powerful people, but at that time, only Deng Yanshuo was willing to protect me and escape.
I was afraid that I would be overtaken by Jiang Shang's pursuers, I was also afraid that Deng Yanshuo would be implicated in my death, and I was also afraid that he would be implicated by his family in the future.
The road was all mountainous, and I didn’t find it difficult to walk at all. I was all thinking about these things, and I didn’t even think about whether the road was difficult or not. If I didn’t walk, I would die. People are forced to do this, and they have nothing to fear.
.”
Lan Ting lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "You have suffered."
"I'm not afraid of hardship, but I don't like being treated as a fool. I've already been treated as a fool by Hua Feng once, and I didn't expect that Jiang Shang would also treat me as a fool." She looked up at Lan Ting, with tears in her eyes, "
Do you think I'm being ridiculous? I take myself too seriously. That's the result of me."
Lan Ting hugged her tightly, "It's not funny at all. No one will dare to laugh at you in the future, I promise."
She knew what Lan Ting's guarantee meant.
Regardless of whether Lan Ting can do it in the future, at least when he says this now, Manmei believes that he means it.
This is enough. For someone like Lan Ting, it is not easy to have this promise, even if it is only temporary.
"I don't want your promise, I don't want your eternity. I just want you to love me for a long time. No matter how vain or greedy you are, no woman is selfish or extravagant about love."
Manmiao hugged Lan Ting and sang this song quietly. Lan Ting hugged her, looked at her seriously, and listened to her singing.
The two of them cuddled up to each other like this, as if they were the only ones in the whole world.
