Chapter 170: The Matchmaker

I don’t know how long she cried, but Ye Ling finally got tired of crying, so she fell asleep. During the three days in Lingxi, she never dared to close her eyes, because as long as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of scenes of Ling Cheng being killed by Feiyu.

She was heartbreaking when she saw that picture once, so she would rather not close her eyes and not sleep than feel it again. Although she felt wronged this time, Ling Cheng was by her side. She felt very relieved, as if the part that was missing in her heart had finally been filled in.

Ling Cheng carried her to the place where Aunt Gu lives. The room was built by him. Aunt Gu had no relatives and no reason, so he left a room for himself, and occasionally went back to live for a while to feel the simple and warm rural atmosphere.

But now, Aunt Gu is gone. He is the one who harmed her and also the one who made Ye Ling homeless, so he can no longer hurt Ye Ling because of his own selfish desires.

Before I could get close to the courtyard, I saw a new tomb under the peach tree in front of the courtyard, without a tomb sign or any object to pay homage to the dead.

Who collected the body for Aunt Gu? Mu Han? No, it could not be him. He was seriously injured at that time, so Mu Han could not have time to do these things.

Could it be the villagers of Zhishuijian? If it were them, they would not have even had a tablet.

Could it be him? He shook his head and denied his thoughts, bowed deeply to the grave, and then walked into the yard with Ye Ling on his back.

After gently putting her down, she untied the white fur and cloak on her body and found that she was wearing only one inner clothing. The thin clothes outlined her delicate figure in a faint way. In her sleep, she seemed to be sobbing lightly.

He hurriedly helped her lie down, pulled the quilt to cover her, and looked at her beautiful sleeping face. A crazy heart could not calm down.

The slightly trembling right hand gently touched her fair and tender little face, and immediately shrank back like an electric shock. As if to feel her real existence, he stroked his hand again. The warm and soft touch made him lose again. He looked at her cherry-red pink lips and couldn't help but lean down.

Just as he was about to get closer to her lips, he suddenly trembled all over and bounced up directly. After hurriedly leaving the door, he immediately punched the wall and cursed: "Ling Cheng, get out of here!"

...

Time flies, the scorching heat has passed, and the cold winter has passed, and the New Year has finally ushered in. The peach tree in front of the yard quietly climbed up light pink and reached into the yard through the fence. The breeze blew, and the fragrance of fragrant grass came to the nose. The green earth revealed the colorful purples, simple and elegant yet beautiful.

Ye Ling sat at the table with one hand and held a "ritual etiquette" in her left hand, and looked at it seriously. But after reading it all morning, she still didn't understand why, so she immediately slapped the book on the table and lay on the table bored and played with the ceramic tea cup.

For half a year, Ling Cheng had almost never seen him except for staying with her during dinner every day. He spent all day practicing and meditating in the room, or studying some of the Qiankun Bagua Formations that she couldn't understand at all. When she pestered him to take him out to play yesterday, he asked her to memorize the "ritual etiquette" before taking her there.

However, she didn't know the dense words at all. He didn't teach her, but let her see it for herself, obviously just to make things difficult for her.

After returning from Qilin Mountain, he seemed to have become a different person. He no longer likes to laugh or talks to her. Even if she subconsciously pulls his hand, he always avoids it. Then he hurriedly leaves and closes the door for another day.

Is this what he wants to be with you day and night? She really didn't know what she did wrong. He didn't seem to want to stay with her for a moment, and always said that she could practice hard and improve.

Cultivation.

I didn't want it to be fine, and the more I thought about it, the more angry he became, Ye Lingmu stood up and prepared to make an open and honest statement with him to vent his dissatisfaction. If he didn't help, he would give up the centenary appointment.

As soon as Ye Ling walked out of the room, he saw that his door was still closed. Wuming in his heart suddenly burst into flames, and he raised his foot and kicked him hard.

The door opened, but there was no Ling Cheng inside. Ye Ling turned back dejectedly. Thinking of this period, he often went to Liyang City to help some families in need to eliminate evil and maintain their homes, and exchanged some money to supplement the family income. He probably went out again last night!

But she could help with these things, but he never let her interfere, and she couldn't even go with her. She even felt that she was a lot of extravagant, just like a kitten on a wooden stake. When people were happy, they just threw some food and caressed them for a few times. They were unhappy and no one paid attention to them.

Ye Ling ravaged her head a little irritated, and she couldn't live this life.

"Ling Cheng, are you at home?"

He heard the sound before he saw the person. Ye Ling didn't have to look at him. This was Aunt Wang, a matchmaker who could be said to be alive by her.

Ye Ling remembered her. She had just arrived a few days ago. At that time, she came to match Ling Cheng. The other party was Lin Yixue, the daughter of Lin Yuanwai's family. Ye Ling had never seen her. She only knew that Ling Cheng had gone to Lin Yuanwai's family to eliminate evil, so she fell in love with him.

Lin Yuanwai was the richest businessman in Liyang City. At that time, he had just bought a new mansion. After his family moved in, he would hear a woman's sob every midnight.

At first, they just thought it was someone who was a prank and didn't bother to pay attention. Later, Lin Yixue, a lady from the Lin family, suddenly had a strange disease. Every night, she would sit by the lotus pond in the yard and cry loudly, making everyone sleepless at night. However, when she woke up the next day, she had no idea what she had done.

Mr. Lin guessed that his daughter was possessed by evil spirits, so he found Ling Cheng's family after inquiring from many sources. After that, Ling Cheng went to his house to find out the reason.

The land of Lin's house is very active and wide, and under the lotus pond, it was originally a poor family. In addition to a weak father, his family also had a daughter of 28 years old. This woman is the wronged soul who cries here every day.

Because of her pretty appearance, the woman was noticed by a wealthy family in Liyang. The other party was an old man older than her father. The father and daughter swear to death, and her father was beaten to death by the other party. The woman was still unwilling to be humiliated and eventually jumped into the ancient well at home.

The old man forced the man to death and was not panicked. After he ordered the woman's father's body to be buried at will, he occupied his house and land. After the expansion was made by many sources, he bought it for Mr. Lin.

The woman died unjustly, and the unjust soul stayed here. She didn't want her home to be occupied by others, so she cried here every night, hoping to scare them away.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin was actually a person who was not afraid of trouble, so she possessed Lin Yixue's body and cried loudly every night at her no longer existed home.

Seeing that she had no intention of hurting others, Ling Cheng knew that she could not let go of her obsession. After discussing with Mr. Lin, he ordered people to drain the lotus pond, dig out the woman's bones, and then search for a Feng Shui treasure land for burial.

Afterwards, Mr. Lin filed another paper and informed the yamen of the matter. The woman was able to make a mistake and left voluntarily.

Since that time, Lin Yixue has fallen in love with Ling Cheng, and Mr. Lin is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, so there is a case of matchmaker Wang talking about the matchmaker. Of course, Ling Cheng decisively refused.

Why is she coming again? Ye Ling pouted unhappily. She didn't like this matchmaker Wang, and even hated her, so she saw her twisting her thick waist and waving the red one in her hand.

When the handkerchief came, he simply retreated to the room and closed the door.

"Oh, who made our little Ling'er angry? Why is even Aunt Wang blocking the door? Open the door, I have something to say to you in detail."

Matchmaker Wang reached out to slap the door and laughed, and comforted her with a kind voice. With this smile, deep folds immediately piled up on her fat face, and her already tiny eyes narrowed into a thin slit. The big red flower in her hair was really eye-catching.

"Aunt Wang, Ling Cheng is not here, you go!" Ye Ling covered her ears impatiently. In her opinion, the tone of matchmaker Wang's thought she was suppressed was like a loud sound, and her eardrums were almost blown through.

"It's okay if Ling Cheng is not here. Aunt Wang, I'm here to match you. Isn't it good for you to keep people out? Is this how your brother teaches you?"

Who is matchmaker Wang? There are hundreds of marriages that have been said to be big or small, and nothing can stump her. Besides, Mr. Lin is very generous in his actions, and the deposit is fifty taels of silver. After the matter is completed, he will pay three times the matchmaker's money. This marriage will be earned by two hundred taels. How could she give up such a big temptation?

She read countless people and was the best at guessing other people's thoughts. On that day, Ling Cheng said that Ye Ling and he were brother-sister, but she could see that the fact was not the case. They were clearly a perfect couple who were in love with each other, but they had to be brother-sister.

She didn't know the reason, nor did she need to know it. What she had to do was to make Ling Cheng nod and respond to the Lin family's marriage, and the most critical point must be Ye Ling.

After meeting that day, she knew that Ye Ling was simple-minded and soft-hearted. As long as she took the opportunity to get a marriage for her, Ling Cheng's affairs would be easier to deal with.

Ye Ling opened the door reluctantly when she heard this. Although she was displeased, Ling Cheng once said that girls should abide by etiquette and naturally they should not keep guests outside the door.

As soon as the door opened, matchmaker Wang pushed it open, then pulled Ye Ling down, and smiled loudly, "Xiao Ling'er is right. Aunt Wang is here to match you, this Zhao family's young master..."

"I don't need it, you go back!" Ye Ling hurriedly pulled her hand back and interrupted her without hesitation.

"Oh, Xiao Ling'er has a little temper. Did your brother make you unhappy?"

"He is not my brother, I only have Brother Feiyu."

"It's not your brother, then you are alone and widowed and you live under the same roof, and he won't give you a name. How can you live your life in the future? The reputation of this girl's family is particularly important. Fortunately, you, Aunt Wang, I..."

Matchmaker Wang was about to flatter herself, but Ye Ling was interrupted by "What's the name?"

"Don't you know? The men and women who live together can only be husband and wife besides brother and sister. You are not brother and sister nor husband and wife. It is unreasonable to live together, and you are the one who suffers the most!"

"How can it be reasonable?"

"This is not simple. You can get married. But if he really wants to marry you, he will not tell outsiders that you are brothers and sisters. I think he doesn't like you at all, but he is just playing with your feelings."

Matchmaker Wang originally wanted to talk about a matchmaker for her, but now it seems that this girl is really scheming. As long as she instigates her, the two of them may collapse, and the Lin family's marriage will naturally be done.

"You are talking nonsense. He said he liked me. He also said he would protect me and take care of me for the rest of his life. You can go! No one in our family needs to match me, and you don't have to worry about my affairs."
