Chapter 38 The sultry night
Chapter 38 The sultry night
As the sun sets, the deserted grassland is suddenly filled with fire, and the number of guests today is twice as many as usual.
From a distance, Ling Ruoli was a little surprised and a little unexpected. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, "There are so many people!"
Ling Ruoli suggested: "Let's go over and have a barbecue!"
"okay"
She rode for a while and found that the person was not following her. She turned around and saw Murong Lian was absent-minded, so Ling Ruoli turned back.
"You don't like crowds?"
"It's okay, go ahead."
Ling Ruoli smiled and said, "I suddenly don't want to join in the fun, so why not go over there."
The bright moonlight shone down onto the river, and the pebbles fell into tiny ripples.
Along with the sound of burning firewood, the aroma of barbecue wafted in a short while. Ling Ruoli threw stones into the water out of boredom, turning around from time to time to look at the people busying around.
Thinking that she was waiting impatiently, Murong asked her to wait for a while and it would be ready soon.
"Originally I invited you, but now you are inviting me"
"This meal is for Miss Xie Ling's rescue." Murong Lian handed her the roasted rabbit meat.
When she took it, the aroma hit her face, and Ling Ruoli's appetite was instantly aroused. She said, "It smells so good!"
"Be careful with the heat"
Ling Ruoli responded: "Oh"
"How did you meet Liao Han?"
"As for him," Ling Ruoli said, "we played cards together, got arrested together, and went to jail together, so we can be considered acquaintances."
Murong Lian's expression darkened. "You went to jail a month ago because you played cards with him."
"It's so boring to mention him." Ling Ruoli finished eating the rabbit leg in his hand, and saw that Murong Lian didn't move, "Why don't you eat it?"
"I"
"You don't want me to test the poison for you, do you?" Ling Ruoli could no longer sit still. She stood up and looked at him in disbelief until he tore a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Only then did Ling Ruoli stop.
"You think too much"
The two were chatting when the pasture manager came over with a food box and said, "Boss, this is the wine you asked for."
"Hurry, bring it here." Ling Ruoli took the food box and sat down.
"Master, do you have any other instructions for me?"
"Nothing, go do your thing"
She took out the wine jug, poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, and frowned: "Wait a minute"
"I want fruit wine, did you get the wrong one?"
"This little one doesn't know"
Ling Ruoli waved her hand and said, "Forget it, no more."
Murong Lian snatched the cup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp. "It's good, with a long aftertaste."
"Drink it yourself," Ling Ruoli pushed the wine jug to him.
The manager came over hurriedly, very nervous. His subordinates made a mistake and accidentally gave the pot of fruit wine that Ling Ruoli brought to another table of guests.
Ling Ruoli scolded: "Leave now before I get angry."
"Boss," Murong Lian said word by word.
"Are you making fun of me?" Ling Ruoli rolled her eyes at him and then ate the barbecue.
"How dare I?" Murong Lian said jokingly, "Don't you like drinking strong liquor?"
"Good children don't drink alcohol, fruit wine doesn't count"
"Hahahaha"
Originally I was in a good mood, but now it has been reduced to half. Ling Ruoli was washing her hands by the river, and suddenly she was lost in thought as she stared at the moon in the water.
Ling Ruoli said slowly, "Legend has it that there is a fairy in the Moon Palace on the moon, her name is Chang'e, her skin is as white as cream, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white, and anyone who sees her will be overwhelmed. This fairy dances gracefully, as graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a dragon, and every move she makes is beautiful."
She splashed the water in her hand at the person who was staring at the sky in a daze, and saw Murong Lian get up and quickly avoid it, and then appeared in front of her. Ling Ruoli was about to get up, but she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, and someone caught her at the right time.
"You are very different today than usual."
"Really?" Ling Ruoli reacted slowly at this moment, and then she felt the softness on her lips and a heat on her face. She felt drunk even though she didn't drink any alcohol.
The hazy moonlight was exceptionally quiet at this moment. Feeling his own heartbeat, Ling Ruoli fled in panic.
"Fuck, what am I doing?" She bit her lip, thinking about what happened just now, touching the corner of her mouth, and then she was so angry that she stomped her feet and began to doubt her life. Ling Ruoli covered her chest which could not calm down for a long time.
She jumped on the horse and left the pasture. After returning to Ling Mansion, she left the horse behind and hurried back to her yard. She didn't even pay attention to the second wife who was coming towards her. She went back to the house and buried herself in the quilt.
Xiao Huan came in with a basin of water, and looked at the person sleeping on the bed with his head covered, and the shoes scattered around. Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, and put down the basin of water and walked to the bed.
Xiao Huan called softly: "Miss"
After calling her several times, Ling Ruoli just kept groaning and wouldn't get up. Xiaohuan had no choice but to wipe her hands for her. But when she touched Ling Ruoli's arm, she felt her body temperature was scalding hot. "Miss, why is your body so hot? Are you sick? I'll go get a doctor right away."
"No need." Ling Ruoli then stood up, her eyes were blurry, her face was flushed, and there was a hint of alcohol on her body.
Xiaohuan knew it immediately and ordered someone to prepare sobering tea. However, Ling Ruoli grabbed Xiaohuan and told her not to call anyone.
"Don't say anything, just stay with me." After saying that, she leaned on Xiaohuan's shoulder, looking resentful, "I did a stupid thing today, oh my god!"
"Miss, what happened?"
“It’s so embarrassing”
