Da Li Temple - Chapter 85.1

Chapter 85.1
Rainwater

Under the candle flame, the atmosphere that should have been romantic and sentimental suddenly became bizarre.
??
Su Moyi was afraid Lin Wanqing would kick him down, so he grabbed her ankle and dragged her toward him, trying to divert her attention. But Lin Wanqing didn’t buy this. She pushed him with both hands, staring at him with a severe expression and saying, ”Coincidentally, I’ve seen this girl today. It seems like she’s from King Wuan’s residence. If you don’t admit it, I’ll ask her myself tomorrow.” After saying this, she dressed and wanted to sleep.
??
Su Moyi hurriedly wrapped his arms around her waist with a look of having done something wrong, “The woman in the painting is indeed not you …… She is the granddaughter of the King Wuan, Yue An County Princess.”
??
When Lin Wanqing saw him honestly explain, her mood improved. She pulled aside the brocade quilt to cover him, jealously asking, “Then why did you hide her portrait? Also inscribed the acidic words.”
??
This question indeed hit Lord Su. Hiding someone else’s portrait next to a love poem he inscribed, anyone who looked at it would think he was interested in the woman in the painting. But looking at this aggrieved beauty in front of him, he realized that if he didn’t resolve this matter now, this bridal chamber today wouldn’t go on.
??
Therefore, Su Moyi unhurriedly took the robe that fell on the ground and sat next to Lin Wanqing. Holding her in his arms, he patiently explained, “Although someone else painted this portrait, I inscribed that poem for you.” After a pause, realizing that Lin Wanqing was looking at him with suspicion in her eyes, Lord Su hurriedly raised his three fingers to the sky and said, “I swear on the Record of Washed Grievances.”
??
Lin Wanqing’s expression became indescribable. “So ……” she asked, “You inscribed a love poem to me next to another woman’s portrait?”
??
“……” Lord Su wordlessly propped up his forehead, nodded his head, and hmmm.
??
Lin Wanqing still had a skeptical expression.
??
Su Moyi had no way out and sighed, “A few months ago, King Wuan hosted a banquet and invited me. During that time, Yue An County Princess made a painting and invited me to write a poem. My heart and eyes were full of you then, so I wrote a love poem for you. The Yue An County Princess also saw it, so she gave the painting to me, that’s all.” He said it with a straight face and no difference in color.
??
Lin Wanqing’s face reddened at the sudden confession. She grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Then it would be strange to keep the painting in the home …… If you don’t want to keep it, why don’t you get rid of it?”
??
Su Moyi felt hopeful when he heard this and hurriedly explained: “Because that day, I rushed to Qingya Residence to save you. At that time, I casually threw the painting to Ye Qing. I hadn’t put this thing on my mind and forgot after that. How do I know he put the painting here?”
??
“Oh ……” Lin Wanqing was satisfied and pouted, no longer speaking.
??
Under the dim lamp, the woman’s face was beautiful, with watery eyes, white teeth, and scarlet lips.
??
Su Moyi’s heart moved and leaned again, bullying and pressing her down. The kisses fell from the back of the ear along the neck and came to the snowy peak of the breast. The beauty underneath immediately trembled.
??
“Hmm!!!” Su Moyi grunted, but it wasn’t because of the relief. In the next moment, he felt his stomach being pushed and nearly vomited all the wine he drank in the evening.
??
“Wait!” The woman underneath him violently pushed him, looking at him with shock and realization. “You went to the banquet before you came to the Qingya Residence to save me?”

Su Moyi was uncertain and nodded. Then, he saw Lin Wanqing let out a cold laugh, and her expression became hideous. “That is to say, you burned the marriage letter, turned your heart around, went to this heartfelt ‘look-at-each-other banquet,’ and also inscribed an affectionate poem to the girl interested in you?!”
??
“…… ” Su Moyi was stunned and froze. With this meticulous logic and impeccable keenness, even though he had been an official for many years and had seen countless remarkable inferences, he couldn’t help but want to clap his hands at this time. He went to the banquet not only to meet her but also because of several invitations from Yue An County Princess invitation that he didn’t respond to. He felt sorry for her and wanted to fulfill her wish, which was also a comfort to himself. But if he were to say this now, he wouldn’t believe it himself, let alone an emotional woman.

Lin Wanqing saw him look like he was caught in the center of the matter and was even furious. Thousands of emotions suddenly rose. The always articulate Lord Su unexpectedly didn’t know how to comfort. He could only resign himself to pulling her hand and wanted to continue to explain.
??
Lin Wanqing did not appreciate it at all. Pulling her hand away, she said, “Go out.”
??
“…… ” Lord Su, who hadn’t anticipated the seriousness of the situation, completely froze.
??
Lin Wanqing glared at him and said earnestly: “If you do not leave, I will divorce you tomorrow.”
??
Upon hearing the word ‘divorce,’ Su Moyi’s heart subconsciously tightened. Even if this woman didn’t listen to his explanation, it was unlucky for the newlyweds to mention a divorce! Like a dog whose tail has been stepped on, Su Moyi’s face gradually sank. He wanted to persuade again, but Lin Wanqing didn’t listen. She turned her back and lay down, took the quilt, and covered her head, leaving him with an indifferent back head.

“Get out!” Two short words floated out from the quilt, indifferent and determined.
??
Su Moyi reached out to touch her head, but Lin Wanqing turned around and grabbed his hand, lifting it outward.
??
Knock! With a muffled sound, the jade-like Lord Su fell backward, nearly landing on his face. He looked at Lin Wanqing incredulously, feeling that a woman in a fit of anger was unbelievable. He also had a temper and wanted to save face. Ever since he was a child, even the Empress Dowager had never mistreated him!
??
Su Moyi’s face darkened. He got up to put on the robe, turned around, and lifted his feet to leave. Although burdened with anger, his heart still retained a trace of hope. With every step, he waited for the woman behind him to rush out of bed to hold his waist, crying beauty tears. However, he reached the door without movement behind him. Lin Wanqing seemed to be asleep and did not want to retain him.
??
Su Moyi’s heart turned cold. He gritted his teeth and kicked the door, walking out. For today’s big wedding, Su Moyi has prepared to have fun, so he cleared all the attendants outside the bedroom. He thus traveled to the study room.
