Prologue

May everything go as you wish, may all your desires be fulfilled. People have their desires, and I have mine. What pleases others may not please me; what pleases me may not please others. What pleases Heaven will naturally bring fulfillment. May everything go as you wish, may all your desires be fulfilled!

He doesn't want her anymore!

The rain poured down, the atmosphere was gloomy and desolate, night fell, and all was quiet. In the vast courtyard of the Linghu Mansion, the richest family in the capital, servants carried lanterns and bustled about, all looking hurried, as if searching for something.

The lanterns flickered, people came and went, and after they faded, there was only emptiness and silence again. No one noticed a small figure hiding in the small courtyard behind the Bat Hall, amidst the artificial hills and clouds.

She curled up, her small body wrapped around her knees to ward off the cold, damp air. In the darkness, her delicate face was vaguely visible, streaked with tears, her little mouth pouting, crying pitifully.

He doesn't want her anymore!

A sob escaped her throat, her eyes red, tears falling even more fiercely. She remembered that she was just an unwanted child; she remembered him scolding her for being wild, for being disobedient, demanding that she humble herself and admit her mistakes, but she refused!

She didn't mean to hurt him! It was that woman… that woman provoked her first! Why wouldn't he believe her?

She didn't mean to make him angry!

Was it because she was stupid, unable to even learn a few simple words, that he didn't want her anymore?

Was it because she was just a little wolf girl raised on Changbai Mountain, naturally wild, always making mistakes and embarrassing him, that he didn't want her anymore?

No! No! She could learn! She would learn diligently… she would be good… Could he just let her stay by his side?

She didn't want anything, just to stay by his side…

Her slender arms hugged herself tightly, the sobs escaping her throat like the mournful cries of a wounded wild beast, echoing in the rainy night.

Heart-wrenching.

Chapter 1

"Linghu Ao, you're not human!"

The man's furious roar echoed through the hall. Restrained by the guards, his clothes were disheveled, his face flushed, and his eyes blazed with fury as he stared intently at the composed, smiling Linghu Ao.

Hearing the man's insults, Linghu Ao merely smiled and coldly replied, "Young Master Xu, the business world is like a battlefield; victory and defeat are common occurrences. Linghu Ao is simply a law-abiding businessman."

"Shameless! Linghu Ao, you're not just a businessman, you're a ruthless executioner! Xu's Wine Shop was built by my father over many years, and you've destroyed it all! I'm not reconciled! My father won't accept this!" Xu Ren roared, struggling to lunge at Linghu Ao.

In the blink of an eye, Linghu Ao dodged, sending him flying and crashing into the grand chair in the hall, looking utterly disheveled.

"Is it your father who's unwilling to accept this? Do you think a playboy like you would care? This is all your father's greed. Think about it, tens of thousands of men in the Linghu family are waiting for you to live. If we only care about sentiment, how can we succeed in business?" Linghu Ao paused, his eyes narrowing sinisterly. He sneered, lowered his voice, and said, "My patience is exhausted. Get out. Don't force me to be ruthless." With that, he raised an eyebrow and glanced coldly at Xu Ren before turning and walking into the inner hall, his robes billowing as he ignored the newcomer. Let them talk about being heartless and cold!

Xu Ren stared in astonishment at Linghu Ao's tall, slender back, a chill running down his spine.

Such a man… truly chilling.

Was there even a trace of warmth in Linghu Ao's body? Probably not!

That damned, damned old man!

"I never imagined that my old man would dare to do such a cruel and inhumane thing to his only biological son! He deserves to

die!" Linghu Ao cursed under his breath, crumpled the Xuan Tang paper in his hand into a ball, threw it angrily on the ground, and stood up from the grand master's chair in front of the hall. His expression was unfriendly, and he glared angrily at a middle-aged man in official robes who looked to be over forty years old. He wished he could tear him to pieces to vent his anger.

"What did that old bastard do? Where is he? I want to see him!" Linghu Ao glanced at the official with a sinister look in his eyes, his anger subsiding somewhat.

"Young Master Linghu, your father ordered us not to reveal his whereabouts, otherwise he would stop donating money to the government for charity, not to mention donating all his family property to the government!" Prefect Yang Shizhou of the capital was apprehensive and did not know what to do.

"Hmph, only if I don't find Shi Ruyi within a year, nor marry her and have children, will you have any chance of inheriting the Linghu family's wealth!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yang Shizhou nodded with a forced smile, secretly fearing he wouldn't survive the day. Even if he did, his life wouldn't be easy.

Although Master Linghu insisted on giving his family fortune to the court, the person in control of the Linghu family in recent years was Linghu Ao, who stood before him. In less than three years, he had made the Linghu family the richest in the north, multiplying their wealth many times over, enough for future generations to squander.

Moreover, he had a good relationship with the court and was rumored to have some connection with the current emperor, often offering advice on finances. Furthermore, his shrewdness and handsome appearance had won him the favor of the Empress Dowager and noblewomen, causing his status to soar. Many princesses and daughters of officials vied to marry him!

Such a powerful figure was someone Yang Shizhou, a mere minor official, whom he couldn't afford to offend.

At this moment, Linghu Ao snorted disdainfully, his face taut and cold. He secretly plotted and cursed his father. That damned old man!

Three years ago, that old man left home without a word, without a trace. Now, just when the Linghu family's business was booming, he actually thought of pulling this kind of trick?

Heaven knows what kind of person that Shi Ruyi is.

Judging from the letter just now, that damned old man himself didn't know where Shi Ruyi was. He only knew that she was separated from her parents at the foot of Changbai Mountain nine years ago. Over the years, although the Shi family had sent people to search for her, there was still no trace of her. Just two years ago, they sadly moved the whole family to Yunnan, leaving behind the place of their lost daughter's heartbreak.

The letter only mentioned that she possessed a family heirloom, a green jade Buddha, a shallow scar on her forehead, and a cinnabar birthmark in her right palm. After years of investigation by the Buddhist family, all they knew was that she seemed to be alive; a woodcutter had seen her with a pack of wolves on the summit of Changbai Mountain!

Under such circumstances, she still wanted him to have a child with her within a year? Linghu Ao sneered. This was truly unbelievable!

"Someone!"

Startled by Linghu Ao's call, Yang Shizhou took two steps back in fright, fearing for his safety.

He quickly bowed and excused himself, saying, "Young Master Linghu, I have matters to attend to and must take my leave!" Hearing this, Linghu Ao gave him a cold smile, his dark eyes fixed on his hurried departure, his handsome face remaining impassive.

"Master, what are your orders?" A steward brushed past Yang Shizhou as he left, rushing into the main hall and bowing respectfully.

"Pass down my order: all members of the Linghu family's Piao Bureau must cease their current duties and search for a girl on Changbai Mountain. She is approximately sixteen years old, with a small scar on her forehead and a cinnabar birthmark on her right hand. Perhaps they can also find a green jade Buddha on her, engraved with the words 'Ruyi' (meaning 'as you wish'). If they can find her within half a month, I will reward them handsomely!"

"Yes, sir, I'll go investigate right away!" The steward hurriedly accepted the order and left without delay.

Linghu Ao's tall figure stood alone in the hall, his expression inscrutable. He looked down at the crumpled letter, a cold, stern smile playing on his lips, as if he were certain of success.

He seemed to be a born businessman, deeply understanding that sometimes, ruthless means were forgivable in order to achieve one's goals!

A great reward would surely bring forth brave men! As

soon as Linghu Ao's order was issued, it immediately alarmed the escort agencies under his command in various regions. They all dispatched men to Changbai Mountain to search for the girl with a scar on her forehead and a red mole on her palm!

Suddenly, Changbai Mountain became as lively as a market. In addition to the escort agencies under the Linghu family, many unrelated people also came to join the fun.

It turns out that the news of Master Linghu forcing a marriage had been leaked, causing a huge uproar in the court and among the common people. Many princesses, daughters of noble families, and girls from ordinary households were eager to marry into the wealthiest family and become Linghu Ao's wife—for them, it was an extremely glorious thing!

Many men were also dreaming of striking it rich, thinking that once they found the girl, given the Linghu family's immense wealth and power, even a small reward would amount to several thousand taels of silver, enough to live comfortably for a lifetime!

"There! I saw a girl run past—" A deep-voiced man raised his thick arm, pointing to a dark figure flashing through the forest.

"What? Where?" A thin man ran out from behind him to the right, holding a rope, intending to strike first.

"There she is! Ah--she ran past, did you see her? A chubby girl ran away from behind that tree!"

At this moment, his loud voice attracted the attention of many people. Another domineering man stepped out from the crowd and shouted rudely, "What chubby? I saw a thin girl, wearing green clothes, running to another hilltop!"

Just as he was refuting, someone else seemed to disagree with him, snorting coldly from the crowd, "What thin and chubby? I clearly saw a woman with a good figure, wearing blue clothes, hiding next to that huge rock. She also had a scar on her forehead!" Judging from his tone, it seemed that the huge reward was already destined to fall into his pocket.

At this moment, another man rushed out of the woods, shouting angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? My bundle is gone! Who? Who stole my bundle? There was silver, clothes, some dried meat, and steamed buns inside. Without those, I'll have to give up on going down the mountain!" His eyes were filled with resentment as he scanned the crowd, as if someone among them was deliberately trying to hinder his search for the missing person and his reward, envious and unable to bear seeing others succeed.

Seeing this, Sun Haoxian, the leader of the Linghu Escort Agency, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh with a smile. He thought to himself that strange things happen every year, but this year seems to be particularly bad. His master had only assigned them a task to find someone, so how could it have attracted so many people and caused such a commotion? It

was truly perplexing.

Just as he was racking his brains, the deputy leader of the escort agency came running from the woods, carrying a blue cloth bag. He approached him and said, "Master Sun, our men found this bag three miles to the north. It seems to have been searched, but the silver is still there. However, we found dried meat and gnawed marks on the ground next to the bag. Something seems strange."

"Ah—that's my money!" An enraged man rushed forward, snatched the blue cloth bag from the deputy leader, and carefully searched for the missing valuables. "Luckily, only the steamed buns and dried meat were stolen. Everything else is still there!"

Hearing this, Sun Hao was suspicious. A strange thought flashed through his mind, but he remained silent, repeatedly pondering the strange idea.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed through the woods, causing a commotion among the crowd. Everyone grabbed their weapons and ran after the shadow through the woods.

"Don't run!" Ha, they'll chase him to the death to get the bounty!

"Stop!" Hmph, how could they let the fat meat that's already in their mouths fly away?

"Little girl, don't run, stop and let uncle rub it in! Ouch, don't run away—." Needless to say, this man is a complete pervert!

Sun Haoxian was experienced and deep, and didn't join in their commotion. After pondering for a while, his expression became firm, and he said, "Where did you find that cloth bag? Take me to see it quickly!"

"Yes, Master Sun, please follow me!" The deputy leader raised his hand and took the lead, leading the way for Sun Haoxian. The two of them, along with several subordinates from Linghu Chief Escort Agency, quickly rushed to the place where the blue cloth bag was found.

Half a month later,

women of all shapes and sizes, tall and short, beautiful and plain, gathered in the Linghu Mansion. As they walked from the main gate, some exclaimed in amazement, others were nervous. They were all overwhelmed by the grandeur and magnificence of the Linghu family mansion, speechless for a long time. They could only let Uncle Ren, the steward, lead them through the long corridor and into a spacious courtyard. Facing them was a two-story building surrounded by a verdant lake, filled with countless brightly colored lotuses, and a white jade arched bridge leading to the upper floor.

"Wow..."

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell along the way.

Although their appearances were all unique, they shared a common feature: each had a scar of varying depth on their forehead, and each had a cinnabar mole on their right palm. Most coincidentally, each carried a green jade Buddha pendant engraved with the words "Ruyi" (meaning "as you wish").

"Ladies, please hurry! Our master will be here shortly!" Uncle Ren coughed lightly, his face expressionless, and stepped back to the side of the hall. He gestured to the other servants with his eyes to be more vigilant, lest too many people cause gossip and give scoundrels an opportunity to sneak into the women's quarters and steal the Linghu family's antique treasures!

Upon hearing that Linghu Ao was about to appear, each woman feigned a demure demeanor, her face lowered, her hands twisting in a coquettish manner, swaying shyly. But they couldn't help but steal glances at the imposing figure in the hall, fantasizing that they might very well become the mistress of the Linghu family, their hearts pounding with joy.

Meanwhile, Linghu Ao stood arrogantly behind a screen on the second floor, observing the women's affected manner below. He felt nauseous and couldn't help but curse his father inwardly.

That damned old man, he better not run into him, or he'd be in for a world of hurt!

"How was it? Beautiful women throwing themselves at you, how was the experience?" A dashing man in white walked up to Linghu Ao and, together with him, looked down at the women downstairs.

"Excellent, Bai Tianlun. You'd better shut up, or I'll make you taste the same flavor no matter what!" Linghu Ao sneered coldly.

Hearing this, Bai Tianlun shrugged and smiled dismissively, saying, "I came here out of goodwill to greet you and, incidentally, to see what kind of celestial beauty my future sister-in-law, Linghu, is that to be fortunate enough to be paired with you!"

"A celestial beauty? I dare not dream of such a thing. Go downstairs!" Linghu Ao glared at him irritably, a mischievous smile playing on his charming lips, and with a long arm, pushed Bai Tianlun downstairs.

"Ah... Help!" Bai Tianlun lost his balance and tumbled to the ground, but he reacted quickly, flipping over in mid-air, his robes fluttering like a celestial being descending.

A gasp rippled through the women, their faces flushed and hearts pounding as they watched the refined and handsome Bai Tianlun appear before them, flashing them a smile that could charm anyone.

"Hi, ladies, I was clumsy; please forgive my rudeness." Bai Tianlun seemed to relish the attention, almost forgetting he was just a spectator.

Countless beauties secretly rejoiced, believing Bai Tianlun to be Linghu Ao. They thought that marrying such a gentle and refined man, and enjoying endless wealth, would be the best thing in the world!

Just as they tried to seduce Bai Tianlun with their coquettish eyes, a deep, resonant male voice suddenly came from upstairs, its tone unfriendly, "Bai Tianlun, you damn well better shut your mouth!"

The beauties were all stunned by Linghu Ao's booming voice. They looked up and watched him leap out from behind the screen, using the railing for leverage, and soar through the air across the hall, landing on the chair in front of him. He turned and coldly surveyed them, his black robe billowing in an arc.

Suddenly, a series of sobs erupted from the group of women, clearly frightened by Linghu Ao's intimidating coldness, looking utterly pitiful.

"Waaah..."

One after another, the women's cries began.

Seemingly used to it, Linghu Ao's indifferent expression showed little reaction. He lazily stepped off the stage, his sharp eyes scrutinizing the dozens of women before him. Their expressions varied, but none dared to look him in the eye, their faces downcast.

Suddenly, he raised a smile full of interest, reaching out to lift the face of one of the women, and said sarcastically, "Nine years ago, the lost Shi Ruyi was only seven years old. Why do you look like an old woman in her twenties or thirties?"

"I...I...it's because..." For a moment, the woman, pressed for answers, couldn't utter a single word, her face turning a deep purplish-red.

"Hmph!" Linghu Ao abruptly released her, turning to look at another girl who looked like she was sixteen. His sharp eyes narrowed, and he asked with a smile, "When did you get that scar on your forehead?"

"Um...it was when I was seven...when I was separated from my parents...I don't remember!" The girl took a deep breath, almost crying.

"Is that so? Then why does the wound from nine years ago still look like it's bleeding?" Linghu Ao lowered his cold, dark eyes, staring intently at the girl's tearful face.

"I... Waaah... Don't kill me, it was... it was my parents who hurt my face and forced me to come here... They said there would be delicious food here, so... so..." The girl became emotional and cried uncontrollably, her makeup instantly ruined.

"Brother Linghu, have mercy!" Bai Tianlun pleaded softly, unable to bear it.

"Shut up!" Linghu Ao shouted in a deep voice, grabbing another girl's right wrist and forcing her to open her palm. He saw a bright red mole, which seemed genuine, but he noticed the red mark on her palm, her hand sweaty. "Do you have anything to say in your defense?" He picked up the red mole from her palm, a cold, murderous smile playing on his lips.

"Waaah... Waaah..." Speechless, the timid girl burst into tears, seemingly filled with grievance.

"Hmph!" Linghu Ao snorted again, releasing his iron grip on the girl, and stepped back onto the steps in front of the hall, coldly saying, "If the imposters have shown remorse and leave immediately, I, Linghu Ao, will not pursue the matter. If you remain unrepentant, after I investigate the truth, I will send you all to the authorities for severe punishment!"

"Waaah... Don't send me to the authorities..."

A great commotion erupted as the women frantically ran around the hall, their jade Buddhas flying everywhere. The carvings looked clumsy and the material rough, and the women, pale with fright, scattered like birds.

Just then, Sun Haoxian and several brothers entered carrying large cloth bags, only to be met with this chaotic scene, and he was truly stunned for a long time.

"Master!" Sun Haoxian finally found his voice and called out.

Hearing the noise, Linghu Ao turned to his men and saw a group of women running around in his room. Annoyed, he yelled, "Get out of here, all of you!"

The women fell silent, their footsteps like thieves, sneaking out through a side door as instructed by Bai Tianlun, disappearing from Linghu Ao's icy gaze.

"I only asked you to find someone. Why are those women with dead children here?" Linghu Ao snorted, clearly displeased.

Hearing his master's reproachful tone, Sun Hao initially didn't take it to heart. Having served the Linghu family for many years, he seemed accustomed to his master's unpredictable temper and clear sense of right and wrong.

"Your subordinate is late, please forgive us, Master. We were chasing a young girl these past two days, and it was a chaotic mess. We only managed to trap her at the last minute."

Hearing this, Linghu Ao narrowed his sharp black eyes, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the large cloth bundle his brothers were carrying. The bundle, tightly bound with thick hemp rope, resembled a small, wriggling human figure.

"Haha... Ahh... Ugh..." An excited roar came from inside the bundle, sounding human but sounding like a wild beast.

Sun Hao noticed his master's unwavering gaze on the bundle, and after a long silence, he turned to signal his brothers to gently place the human-shaped bundle on the ground.

"What the hell is this thing?" Linghu Ao finally reacted, rubbing his brow and asking, his dark eyes still fixed on the bundle.

Upon landing, the humanoid bundle twisted even more violently, resembling the bizarre way a foreign tribe bound a corpse. The only thing visible outside the bundle was a pair of bright, dark eyes.

"Reporting to Master, this girl was found by your subordinate on Changbai Mountain. When we found her, she was wearing thick fur, but her body was filthy. The hunters on the mountain said that she has been appearing and disappearing mysteriously for years, stealing their clothes and provisions. She is known as the Little Wolf Girl."

"Then what is the relationship between her and Shi Ruyi?" A strange thought flashed through Linghu Ao's mind, but he was unwilling to admit it.

Good heavens! A little wolf girl...

Sun Haoxian, however, did not understand his master's subtle thoughts. He squatted down and tore off the cloth covering the girl's right hand, forcefully prying open her palm to reveal a bright red birthmark. "This subordinate was merely making a bold guess, but unexpectedly, she meets all the conditions Master desired."

"Is that so?" Linghu Ao's lips curled into a smile without any real mirth. He crouched down, his tall and slender frame moving to remove the cloth covering her forehead. He saw a small, slanted scar across her forehead, which, combined with her bright, sparkling eyes, created a captivating, wild beauty.

"Ugh... ah..." The girl's mouth seemed to be stuffed with cloth, making her sounds slightly muffled. Her dark, bright eyes stared unabashedly at Linghu Ao, filled with hostility.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, Linghu Ao reached out and untied the cloth from her head, removing the gag from her mouth. Ignoring the gasps from Sun Haoxian and the others, he was about to examine her closely when she suddenly arched her back, opened her small mouth, and bit his wrist hard with her sharp teeth.

"Master!"

"Damn it! Don't you dare lay a hand on me!" Linghu Ao shouted, stopping his men from rushing forward to protect him. He frowned, gritting his teeth as he stared intently at her stubborn and wild face. Her

face, covered in sweat and grime, obscured her original skin tone. Her fiery black eyes occupied almost a third of her face, staring at him like a raptor, as if she wanted to devour him alive to avenge the humiliation she suffered at the hands of his men, who had bound her like a rag doll.

Linghu Ao displayed a relaxed expression, as if she wasn't biting his wrist. His gaze was deep, and he could feel the breath from her small, delicate nose brushing against his masculine skin. Her small mouth was currently biting his hand tightly, and between her sharp teeth, a few drops of blood seeped out.

No wonder she's a little wolf girl, she's ruthless!

The wild girl put all her strength into biting him, until her tongue tasted blood. A flame of triumph flickered in her heart, but it was extinguished in the next instant by his laughter, leaving only a lingering sense of defeat.

"Enough? Let go!" Linghu Ao raised a cold laugh.

Seemingly driven by animal instinct, the girl realized that her baring her teeth and claws couldn't intimidate the man before her. Her bright eyes dimmed, and she slowly released her teeth, letting out a low, beast-like growl.

"Grunt..."

Linghu Ao looked down at the clear, respectable teeth marks branded on his iron arm, stained with blood and her clear saliva. The wound was now throbbing with pain.

Just like the restlessness her fiery eyes stirred in his heart, he couldn't contain himself! Damn it, she's just a little wolf girl! Linghu Ao cursed inwardly.

At this moment, Sun Hao first presented a delicate and small green jade Buddha, engraved with the two characters "Ruyi" (meaning "as you wish"), lifelike and vivid, clearly a fine piece of green jade to anyone with discerning eyes.

"This was found in her lair by my subordinates. It seems the silver chain broke, so it fell to the ground and went unnoticed."

Bai Tianlun had been observing quietly from the side, finding it extremely amusing. "Brother Linghu, this little girl seems quite interesting. If you don't want her, you can give her to me!"

Hearing this, Linghu Ao gripped the green jade Buddha tightly, smiled faintly, and nimbly twisted his bitten wrist, ignoring the dripping blood from the wound. He coldly said, "You wish! Men, take her away. While you're at it, find a few maids to wash her clean, and have Zao Yaoyao dress her up properly before bringing her out to see me."

"Yes!"

After a reply, the wild girl was immediately carried away by a group of people. All that could be heard along the way were constant roars and screams.

As for who made those screams, no one knew!

Chapter Two

The sound of water splashing was very loud; the cries were very lively; the sound of the buckets thumping and clanging was very loud. On the other side of the door, a fierce battle seemed to be raging between a woman and a wild beast, a battle too brutal to be described in a few words.

"Quick! Grab her foot!"

"No! She...she's so strong...she kicked me in the stomach! It hurts so much..." A weak scream escaped her lips.

"Useless girl! Get someone else to help me hold her foot, don't let her move...Ouch! My dear lady, please, please stop kicking!" Zao Yaoyao forced herself to stay awake, but her voice betrayed her exhaustion.

"Ugh..." Seemingly dissatisfied with Zao Yaoyao's insincere request, the wild girl roared, shoving away the maid who was trying to wipe her body.

"Ouch! You...how could you hit me!" The maid, hit in the eye, stumbled back, feigning anger, trying to reason with the wild girl.

However, it was like casting pearls before swine; it was completely useless. The wild girl remained silent for a while, then her round, dark eyes narrowed warily. Suddenly, she reached out and hit another maid, who had only brought a basin of water to pour over her head and had been punched hard.

他的声音总是冷冷的，不带一丝毫感情。

一群疯了似的女人，包括在令狐府里以严厉出名的枣幺幺，听见主人的呼喝声，不约而同地怔住，站定脚步，低着头转过身，她们的脸上都是一副欲哭无哭、狼狈至极的模样。

「少爷……」枣幺幺老脸垂垂，似乎觉得自己无能失职，不能办好主子所交代的重责大任。

令狐傲扬眉斜觑了她一眼，忍不住蹙起眉心，愣了一愣。

枣幺幺从二十多年前跟着他娘亲陪嫁进令狐府之后，一直以来都是做事严谨、德高望重，是个令人打从心眼底儿佩服的狠角色，连他这个做主子的人也要卖她三分情面，知道一旦将事情交给她打点，就绝无不妥之理。

而如今……见她老脸苦皱、披头散发，宛如斗败的公鸡般，悲愤的表情仿佛恨不得以死向他谢罪……

他转头再看枣幺幺身后的一群婢女，她们一个个狼狈不堪，发散髻摇，花容失色，宛如残兵败将，可怜兮兮……

「少爷，她……她……老身无能……请少爷准我告老还乡，一个人了度残生，以示谢罪。」枣幺幺说得老哭纵横。没想到她这辈子死到临头了，才栽在一个小丫头手里，太……太丢脸了！

「呜呜……」

几个小婢女被吓得嘤嘤啜泣，其中一个面容白净、模样纤纤秀丽的婢女站出来道：「主子。莺莺不要活了啦……」就着，她挪开遮掩在右眼上的小手，怵目惊心的淤伤怖满了她的眼睛下方，毁了她引以自傲的秋水明眸。

见状，令狐傲唇角扯出一抹苦笑，一丝不耐的恼意闪过心头，就在这时，房门内好死不死地传出一声狼嚎，嗓音高亢有力，吼声远远地震荡开来，仿佛在取笑他们这些人的不自量力。

没错！他森牙一咬，心火一起，觉得那个该死的小狼女根本就是故意挑战他的权威，想要跟他作对！

「啊呜……」怎幺？拿我没辙了吧！

令狐傲从容地勾起一抹温文的冷笑，道：「哼！先把她关起来，三天不给她饭吃，就不信把她饿昏了之浚，她还有力气反抗！」

「啊呜……啊呜……」哈哈，胆小鬼，没本事就合耍阴招，有种就进来跟我单挑吧！

真是天杀的她！令狐傲俊脸上的笑容微微一僵，长臂随手一扬，道：「照我的话去做吧！记住，三天不准给她饭吃，必要时让她喝一点水，看住不要让她死掉就好了-.」

「是！主子。」下人领命，就要照办。

又在同时，门内的狼嚎声又起，似乎更加猖狂，听在令狐傲的耳里，莫名其妙的就会转幻成少女恶意挑战的嗓音。

「啊呜呜呜……」胆小鬼，胆小小，没志气，喝凉水……

倏地，令狐傲的双眸沉魅一眯，扬起异常璨烂可掬的笑容，风度翩翩地伸手拦住下人的去路，笑道：「你们统统给我下去，一会见不管听到什幺声音，都不准过来打扰，知道了吗？」都着，他纵步往屋里走去。

「少爷，你究竟想要干什幺？」枣幺幺担心地望了主子一眼，他俊脸上的那一抹诡笑看得她心里着实发毛。

令狐傲回眸一笑，凉凉地扬了扬男性的大手，道：「你也下去吧！这野娃儿不教训一下，不会乖的！一

「喔！那……少爷，我下去替你准备金创药了！」说着，枣幺幺担扰甚切地望了主子一眼，急忙地转身下去张罗事情。

闻言，令狐傲愕望着枣幺幺赶忙离去的身影，眉心紧蹙。该死，他觉得自己的男性尊严受到了深深的侮辱……

很好，他记住了！

得意洋洋。

令狐傲一踏进房门，只见少女蜷身伏在桌上，身上缠绕着绵红色描花桌布，野性十足的黑眸满意地眯起，嫩舌舔了舔红唇，仿佛为了她刚才赢了漂亮的一战而显得不可一世、意所风发。

「啊呜呜……呜……」

「啊啊鸣……」她野蛮地张开牙关，眼见就要往他的喉头咬下，又圆又黑的大眼睛冒出妖野的火花。

令狐傲不经意地瞥见了她的身子，心头一动，随即暗斥自己的心猿意用、来者不拒，他伸手擒住她的细颈，扳开她那张想要断他颈子的小嘴，心恼万分，大力地拽起她纤细的腰身，往澡间大步迈去。

「我就不信我令狐傲会治不了你这个野娃儿！」令狐傲冷哼了声，忽然吃疼地皱起眉心，发现自己的脖子上被她的指爪画出一道血痕，「你最好给我收敛一点，不然我首要你好看！」

不可否认的，当他的手碰触到她细嫩的肌肤时，确实有一股无法言喻的冲动从心底涌出，无法自抑。

似乎要与他的怒吼相互呼应，小狼女的狼嚎声更加亢奋了，「呀呀……啊呜呜……呀呀……啊呜呜……」

小狼女惊天动地的狼嚎声中透出一丝生气，以及异样的兴奋，似乎觉得眼前正上演着一场极好玩的游戏。

「住嘴！不要再叫了！」令狐傲伸出大掌擒住她富有侵略性的小手，咬牙对她低吼了声。

「啊呜……呜要叫叫……」小狼女觉得他恼怒的音调挺有趣的，学着跟他一起大声吼叫。

「你会说括？」令狐傲心里觉得惊奇。她这个小狼女似乎显不是完全的无药可救嘛！

「呜要叫叫……娘会哇哇……啊呜吗……」小狼女非常兴奋地学着他的音调，在他的臂弯之中手舞足蹈，仿佛找回了一丝身为人类的自觉。

原来，小狼女与父母在长白山失散时，已经是个七成的娃儿了，早就学会说人括，只不过后来让野狼叼了去，长久与狼群生活之后，逐渐地忘了自己原来的身分，语言的能力更是失去了泰半。

听见她将自己的话学得四不像，难听得几乎分辨不清，就算如此，令狐傲还是觉得眼前乍现了一丝曙光。

小狼女意识到他一声不吭，静悄了一会儿，随即又肆无忌惮地伸出指爪，似乎很不高兴游戏的结束。

「啊呜……娘会哇哇……娘会哇哇……」她瞪大了一双黑圆的眸子，生气地朝他大吼。

「我本来就会说结！你给我闭嘴！」虽然能来莫名其妙，但令狐傲就是能听得懂她的话，「跟着我念，令、狐、傲！」他要她牢牢地记住他的名字，因为她将要成为他的妻！

小狼女纳闷地皱起了眉心，似乎不太能记起他那幺一长串的句子，忽地，她恼羞转怒，「啊吗……呀呀……呜呜……傲傲……」

她张嘴撕咬住他一片衣袖，以示抗议。

「该死！你就不能文明一点吗？令狐傲、令狐傲！只有这三个字，你一定要给我把住！」他嘶声低吼，近乎咆哮。

令狐傲觉得自己就快要被她给弄疯了，动了心火，却对野蛮又不讲理的她发不了脾气。

「呜呜……傲傲……」生气了、生气了！就算他没有野狼的嚎叫声，她就是能够知道他很生气，气得快发疯。

真得意！

她伸出红嫩的小舌舔了舔嘴唇，璨黑的眸子绽出一抹近似野兽的诡异笑意，丝毫不觉危险逐渐朝她逼近。

就在她小人得意、兴高采烈之时，冷不防地，她的身子被抛上了半空中，顿了一顿，就直直地掉进玉石砌成的澡池里，水花飞贱。

「啊鸣--」她双手惊慌地打水，想要坐起身，却不料被水腻的玉石给滑了一下，整个娇小的身子又没进了水里。

令狐傲不屑地挑眉，轻哼了声，站在水边冷觑着她的狼狈。

哼，不要以为没有说话，他就听不出她声音里的洋洋得意，不过是个小狼女，他才不会任由她爬到他的头上兴风作浪！

「啊呜呜……傲傲……啊鸣……」小狼女惊慌失措地在水里挣动，微弱的狼嚎声，听起来近乎求救的哀鸣。

她会被水淹死……会死掉……她不要死掉……再也见不到它们了……她会死掉……不要……

「啊呜……啊鸣……」

「这……这是怎幺一回事？」

令狐府的大门外，莫名其妙地出现很多野狗和野骆，还有一大群小野鸟从墙上飞进飞出，吱啾徘徊。

「汪汪……」

「瞄……」

众人围观，除了令狐府的下人们，这些野猪、野狗的意外聚集，也招来了一堆看热闹的闲人。

「难不成这些猫狗想来这里要饭吗？那他们可真是不长眼睛，谁不知道令狐家的主人生性冷酷，不管别人死活，更何况小猫、小狗？」路人甲说话的语气轻鄙，似乎对令狐傲早就怀恨在心，眼红得很。

路人乙的脸容敦厚，轻叹了声道：「看它们对着大门叫了半天，声音那幺可怜，可能真的是很饿了，才会选错了人家讨饭吃。」

「是呀！那们令狐公子可真是铁石心肠，竟然理都不理。」路人丙也跟着哀声叹气。

路人丁听了他们的话，深深不以为然道：「人家可是一们日理万机的大商人，哪里有闲工夫去管这些小猫、小狗，别傻了！」

令狐府的下人们听见这些人的对括，心里又好气又好笑，却是无从发难，只能面面相觑，苦笑不已。

这时，一名手持黄幡，幡上写着「铁板神算、算无不准」的宇样，神态招摇地走了过来，环视了众人一眼，才开口缓缓地锐道：「长白山祖师爷昨晚托梦给我，说这里会出现百年难得一见的异象，果真不错。天理颠倒，妖魔尽出，只要令狐公子肯重金礼聘我铁板神算为他降妖除魔，我保证绝对让大事化小、小事化无。」

「汪汪……」

「瞄……」

人们听得一愣一愣的，然而猫狗们似乎不以为然，一只小黄狗懒散地走到了他脚边，狗腿一扬，很不客气地撤了他一身骚尿。

「哎呀！你这只小癫痢狗，看我不把你宰来吃了，我不甘心……」话还没说完，铁板神算猛然住了嘴，看旯众人轻视的眼光。

他摸了摸鼻子，自动退得远远的。

这时，猫狗们朝着令狐府的大门不停地咆叫，一声接着一声，家丁们赶了又来、来了又赶。猫狗们并不反抗，只是叫得可怜兮兮，引起众人悲怜的目光，同心怒祝令狐府的家丁们，出声抗意他们的虐待。

「汪汪……」

「瞄……」

小鸟们齐冲而下，啄得令狐府的家丁们遮掩不及，满头是包。「走开！求你们快到别的地方去吧-.」

「汪汪」声之后就会繁接着一声「瞄」，众人觉得无比异常，却是兴致勃勃地围观不去。
似乎没有料到他会温柔对待，小狼女野性的眸子闪过一丝讶异，好奇地眨了眨眼，松放了戒备，享受他大掌的舒服触感。

「晤……」

听见她发出近似陶醉的低鸣声，令狐傲不禁勾起一抹怜爱的笑容，心想她似乎也不是全无可爱之处。

空气之中荡样着融洽的氛围，令狐傲笑叹了声，瞅见她微倾着小脸，逐渐信任地依偎向他柔抚着她的大手。

就在两人之同逐渐滋生出一股难以言喻的微妙情感之时，突然，一道慌忙的唤声打断了他们--

「主子！主子-.」

闻声，小狼女忽然自令狐傲的身旁退开，飞快地闪身到池子的另外一边，一瞬之闪，她黑滦璨的野眸中又盈满了敌意，警戒地瞪视着他。

「天杀的！」令狐傲见状，不禁低咒了声，落空的大掌恼火地紧握成拳，心头很然。

「禀告主子，咱们门外来了一大群野猫野狗，驱散不开，该不会是天降异象，咱们是不是该请个道士来瞧一瞧？」仁叔人在门外，没看见令狐傲一脸铁青，为他的打扰感到极度的不悦。

「退下！不过就是这幺一点小事情，你们别理那些牲畜，时间一久，它们就会自动散去了！」令狐傲不屑地轻哼了声。

「是！」仁叔迟疑了半晌，终于点头离去，心想主子没有瞧见那副吓人的景象，是绝封不会了解他所说的话。

算了，他们这些家人就自行料理吧！

门外的脚步声渐悄，令狐傲将全副心神放在小狼女身上，见她全身上下都布满了敌意，不肯让他再靠近一步。

「过来。」他朝她伸出手，语气透着他一贯的命令口吻。

一头墨黑的发披在她的肩上，更衬托出她野性火艳的小脸，健康的肌肤呈现诱人的蜜色，曲线纤细却又饱满玲珑，浑圆的双峰半掩在水面下，与她水蜜色的藕肩形成一道优美的线条。

令狐傲觉得喉头梗然，片刻之间竟说不出话来，胯间的欲望蠢蠢欲动，为她浑然天成的野性美所勾诱。

野娃儿！他万万没有想到素来冷静自持的自己，竟然会受这样一个不经文饰的野娃儿所吸引，险些不能自拔。

「过来我这里，不要怕，我不会伤害你的，放心吧！」他刻意压低嗓音，以克制心头难以自抑的欲念。

虽然外人常说他是个冷血无情、见钱眼开的奸商，但他都不以为意，只不过要是真的对她出了手，那他可就真的是禽兽不如了！

除了浑身似带刺，她根本就是一个不解人事的娃儿，狼皮之下藏的是幼嫩小羊，是她。

小狼女压根儿没想到他此刻心里的挣扎，野火般的幽黑眸子一眯，喉间发出威吓的低鸣声，刹那间，就要从水里弹跳逃开。

坏人！坏人！他是个大坏蛋！她的心里害怕极了，急着想要从冒着熟烟的水池里逃脱，就在她离开水面之际，心里浮现一丝成功的欢喜。

「不准走！」令狐傲不经思索地飞身而出。

就在下一刻，她感觉到自己的脚踝仿佛被热链烤住，脚步一滑，眼看就要扑倒在地，此时一只牢靠的手臂圈住了她的腰身，将她整个人拖回水里，背后抵住一面温热的铜墙铁壁，动弹不能。

「啊鸣……」

她不停地扭动着身子，不喜欢被人紧抱住的感觉，心里泛起一丝戒备，仿佛身后的他正一点一滴侵触她的骨气。她会输掉！

令狐傲敏锐地发现她似乎比最初时还要激动，看起来像是有人威胁到她的存在，而她正拼命抵抗。

「不要动！这里没有人会伤害你，别怕！」令狐傲不顾一切下水，已有半截长腿浸在水池里，只为了制住她。

「啊鸣……」他到底在就什幺？她不懂、不懂！

除了长发的遮掩，她近乎全裸，水滑的蜜金色细微肌肤，对令狐傲的自制力形成了一项极大的考验。

「你安静下来，不要再动了，」令狐傲的压抑几乎已经至极点，他嘶声低吼道：「安静！别逼我，我真的要生气了喔！」

他向来都是个呼风唤雨的天之骄于，从来没有人敢不听他的话，唯有她这个野娃儿，压根儿不买他的帐！

老天！他就快要变成禽兽了！

冷不防地，他放开了她，将她娇裸的身子按进水里，拿起添加了些许花

这玩意儿在中原并不多见，但是令狐傲定期派遣商旅去西方做生意，他们从西方将这玩意见带回来，准备自己开发研究。

只不过，花香四溢，却掩盖不过她身上的勤物骚味儿，小狼女看见自己的身上起了泡泡，不禁一惊，以为自己就要被水溶化了。

「啊……啊鸣……」

她慌张地抹去小泡泡，不一儿见的工夫，在她身上就出现了几块乾净的蜜色肌肤，却不料泡沫愈来愈多，吓得她都快要哭了。

令狐傲搓揉着她的黑发，洗出汗色的泡沫，随着一次次的清洗，她的身子乾净了不少，发丝也总算不再纠结，绽现一丝少女的柔细。

「这才像话。」令狐傲满意一笑，称许着她的乖巧，却不料下一瞬间就听见惊天动地的哭号声从她的嘴里逸出，他不禁愕然。

鸣……她快要死掉了小狼女悲伤不已，大哭出声，初净的肌肤泛起一丝敏感的刺痛，红红的，就像脱了一层皮般。

不行！她只不过泡水一下下，就已逐这幺严重了，再继续这样下去，她一定全身都会变成泡泡，消失不见了。

才想着，她就将想法化成了行动，顺着柔细的泡泡一溜，小手就脱离了他的宰制，像条鱼般游了开去。

令狐傲被她可怜兮兮的哭声弄得心烦，没料到她又想要逃走，低咒了声，伸手又将她捉了回来。

「想走？没这幺容易！」

他拽过她蜜金色的藕臂，将娇小的身子反转过来，不意瞥见她饱满丰嫩的双峰抖颤了下，见状，他胯间的男性不禁紧蹦了下，因渴望而微微地疼痛了起来。

小狼女抬起黑漆漆的明眸，畏惧地望着他高大修挺的身形，被他强而有力的劲道给骇着，慌得不知所措。

「我到底是着了你什幺魔？！怎幺会……」令狐傲伸出另外一只手抚过她的小脸，拭去她额边残余的汗色痕迹。

顿时，她细嫩的五官尽人他的眼敛帘，只除了她一双黑眸过分地明亮野璨，除了她蜜金色的肌肤泛着健康的红晕，不似平常女子的娇弱着白之外，她全身上下找不出一丝缺点。

虽然这些并不符合世俗的标准，然而在他的眼底，都成了勾诱他的不安分因子，唯有她额心的那道疤，形成了她身上唯一的缺憾。

令狐傲无意识地用拇指抚过她额上的浅疤，似乎有一根硬刺梗在喉里，教他极不舒坦。

若是没有这一道碍眼的疤痕，她将会是一个多幺教人惊艳的可人儿！他突然间很想知道，究竟是谁如此狠心伤了她！

「傲傲……娘会哇哇……」她的小嘴儿喃念有铜，害怕依旧，却多了一丝异样的柔顺，拆佛在她的心里，已经认清了什幺似的。

「我会税结，你也能。说！我要你记住我的名宇！」令狐傲倾下身，用两指托起她小巧的下颔，正视着她野火似的双眸，道：「令狐傲！听见了吗？是我！令狐傲！」

突然，气氛沉静了下来，经过刚才激烈的挣扎之后，小狼女的呼吸微微地喘促，一起一伏之间，荡漾的水波更显出她曲线的玲珑。

两人沉默地互相凝望着，水面上飘浮着令狐傲白色的长袍，恍如白云一般团团地包围住他与她，在他们的气息声之外，还有泉水的声音淙淙，更凸显出他们的四周安静得不可思议。

「傲傲……」

「闭嘴！」忽然，他的脾气略微地火爆，刻意对她娇裸的身躯视而不见，大手在空中迟疑了半晌，终放将泡沫染上了她的肌肤，稍嫌用力地洗去她身上的汗痕。

「傲傲……」会痛呀！

「我说闭嘴！」老天，他渴望她！

他十分确定自己的欲望已经为她而勃起，然而，在见到她天真无邪的璨亮明眸时，他觉得自己的想法比她的行为更像野兽。

不！他根本就是禽兽了！

「呜……」她神情委屈地低鸣了声，逆来顺受地被她心目中的狼王「欺负」，呜……泡泡怎度愈来愈多了！

他低吁了口气，放开了钳住她双腿的健臂，慢慢地从她的身前退开，随手拾起自己飘浮在水面上的衣袍，神情显得有些懊恼。

「呜……」小狼女乖顺地眯着哭湿的双眸，软滩在水石地上，感觉自己的小腹热热的，心里欢喜极了。

她以后一定要很小心、很小心了，就像山上的那些狼姊姊一样……

「真是奇了、怪了！」

「仁总管，啥事情奇怪了？那些野猫、野狗好不容易才散去，应该是一件好事呀！」一名家丁不解地问道。

仁叔摇了摇头，看着几名家丁神情同样不解地望着他，一副孺子不可教的模样，「那些野畜虽然不再悲呜，可是你们仔细听一听，咱们令狐府四周的猫狗也真是不知时节，竟然发起情来叫春了！」

经他这一提醒，家丁们纷纷醒解，不停地点头，听着远近不一的猫狗思春声，心里不约而同地浮现一道念头。

「瞄鸣……」

「嗷鸣……呜……」

他们好像……也该讨个老婆了！

第四章

「如何？」

江大夫收回红线，站直了身子，摇了摇头道：“这位小姐玉体无恙，一切正常，看起来不像是有疯癫之症的人，老夫猜想……”

「江大夫直说无妨。」令狐傲神俊的脸庞平静无波，转眸淡淡地觑着蜷在暖炕上的小狼女好奇地玩着那一条诊脉的红线，不亦乐乎。

「老夫猜想，小姐很有可能失去小时候的纪忆，被野兽叼走之后，长年与它们一起生活，日子久了，才会连人话都不会说了！」

「可有法子痊全？江大夫，我不介意多花一点银两，只要你能治得好她的……病！」他似乎再也找不到给她更好的形容词。

老大！令狐傲的脸色铁青，直瞅着她玩腻了红线，一双小手就要扯开自己腰带！还好，被她玩成了死结，打不开了！

「这说难不难，却也不是件简单的事情。」江大夫微骇于令狐傲不悦的神色，战兢道：「既然她曾经有七年的时间都活在人群之中，人们的一举一动，她多少会有些记忆，只要加以唤回，就很有可能恢复。」

「恢复几成？多快？需要多少时间？吃药还是针灸？反正我不管，愈快愈好！」令狐傲不愧是个精明的商人，实事求是。

闻言，江大夫垂首讷讷道：「老夫不敢保证，不过，请个夫子来教小姐识字看书，效果可能会更快一些。」

「不用你说，我已经有安排了！下去开方子，等会儿我差人去拿药。」令狐傲信手一挥，将江大夫遣退。

「是。」

人去楼寂，只有他与她两人的房里只剩下布料奚落的声音。

令狐傲勾在唇边的微笑一凝，冷声道：「没用的，都已经是个死结，你不用再努力了！」

窸窸粹粹声继续。

「你听不懂吗？衣服给我乖乖穿着，不要妄想脱掉它！」令狐傲冷眸睥着她，语声微扬，含蕴着怒意。

她是真的听不懂他的话，也不肯死心，小手继续努力不懈。

气氛沉静了半晌，令狐傲唇畔还是噙着很有风度的笑容，不想与她一般较。「野娃儿，住手，衣服不是让作用来撕的，乖。」

这时，释如意--也就是小狼女，纳闷地抬眸觑了他一眼，嘴里咬着一从衣袖上撕下来的布料，绽出天真无邪的笑容。

他说话的语气那幺温柔，还说她很乖，一定是在称赞她很厉害吧！想着，她很高兴的把身上的衣服统统撕成了碎片。

呵！快点再称赞她吧！

终于，他优雅雍容的风度被她拆穿了，勾起一抹没有丝毫笑意的唇痕，他扬声怒吼了声，「野娃儿！」生平第一次，他想杀人！

听见他吼人的声音，释如意忽然皱起了眉心，看起来倒不像是害怕上双圆亮的黑眸左右张望了起来，紧张得不得了。

呜……她想尿尿了……

「你怎幺了？身子不舒服吗？」令狐傲探手触碰她的额头，一切正常，没有任何高烧的迹象。

可是她一张小脸红通通的，仿佛在隐忍着什幺，还不待他反应过来，她一溜烟地跳下床，在房里跑来跑去、嗅来嗅去，好像在找什幺，急得像热锅上的蚂蚁，瞧得他一头雾水。

忽然，她像发现了什幺一样，瞬同亮了双眼，火速地冲出房门。她好急、好急喔！要解脱了……

「不要用手跟脚走路……你要去哪里？回来！」令狐傲弄不清楚状况，所急败坏地追在她身后。

释如意纳闷地回头望了他一下，不解他篇什幺要跟着一起跑出来。啊！他可能也想要尿尿……

「回来！」

令狐傲要是知道她的想法，肯定会气炸。他一追出门，脚步一定，见她四处嗅闻着柱子的气味，蹲着身像是要……

慢着！她不会是要做他此刻心里想到的那件事情吧？令狐傲瞠大了眼，纵身一飞，长臂如鹰爪般将她的身子钳了起来。

「啊啊鸣……」释如意悬在半空中，不安地挣扎，不知道令狐傲为什幺不让她在那里尿尿。

对了！可能是因为他是只大狼王，不准她这个小喽罗侵犯他的领地，那……那她可以跑远一点呀！咦……他怎幺又把她抱进屋子里去了？

释如意内急，不禁哭丧着一张小脸。

「你是人，怎幺能构像牲畜一样随地解手？」令狐傲的脸色阴沉，将她抱进后堂的一方隔间，才将她放下来。

在这个原本只能容纳一人的小隔间里，突然挤了两个人，就稍嫌局促了些，尤其令狐傲的身长挺拔、体形修健，更显得空间拥挤。

「汪鸣……」她出声抗议他的没有人性。她想要尿尿啦……

「别吵！把裤子脱掉，在你的身后有一个夜壶，解在里头，下人们会定时过来收拾。」面对她，令狐傲觉得自己就像个罗唆的老爹。

呜……他在说什幺啦？什幺脱裤子……什幺壶……她统统不管，她只想要赶快尿出来，从痛苦中解脱。

「傲傲……野娃……」他挡在门口，让她跑不出去，只能因在里头，双手捂着肚子、忍着尿意，不知所措。

令狐傲蹙眉瞅了她一眼，忽地没辙地叹了口气，撩起被她自己撕得碎烂的裙襦，探手解开她亵裤的繁绳，状甚暖昧。

他忘了一件极重要的事情，她连怎幺自己穿衣服都不会，更别提知道怎幺脱了！除了撕碎。

看见亵裤失去了羁绊，从腰间落了地，一丝奇异的感觉泛过释如意的心头，因为他修长粗糟的手指在不经意之中滑过了她光裸的小腹。

除了衣物的窸粹声，小小隔间之中只有两人逐渐变得急促的呼吸声，在廉幕的遮掩之下，只透进了幽暗的光量，空气忽然熟烫了起来，暖昧的感觉同时在令狐傲的心头泛起健满。

「好了，坐上去吧！」令狐傲的神情平静如常，然而，当他的声音一出喉，才发现已经略微沙哑低浊了。

释如意听懂了他简单的指示，曲膝一坐，小屁股碰到了夜壶的缘口，冰凉凉的，教她不适应地扭动了下。

不消片刻，顺着本能，她很自然地工始解放尿意了。

听见玉瓷壶子里传来如泉水般的声响，空气中飘荡着少女清冽幽微的气味，令狐傲咬紧牙根，鼠蹊处火热蠢动。

老天！他几乎是无时无刻都想要染指她的无邪！仿佛体内的天生野性逐一被她唤醒般。令狐傲发现自己竟无法自抑。

释如意似乎不太习惯被他盯着尿尿，她不自觉地心跳加快、呼吸困难，小腹下方仿佛又被人放了火，尿意窜过她双腿之间的小花心，激射出一道灼热的泉液，湿熟疲软。

呜……她觉得自己真的好坏喔！竟然又想要跟他交配，啊呜……她是一只母色狼！

激冷的泉声缓缓止歇，转化成滴水声空寂地在夜壹中响着，一声接着一声，在这小幽间之中回荡不绝，每一滴水声都教令狐傲的胸口紧缩了下，欲望的热火从小腹直窜向他两股之间。

「傲傲……」她睁大了漆黑的眸子，眸光无邪。

该死！令狐傲在心里很咒了声，不由分说地拉起了她，故意视而不见地替她穿好亵裤，转身掀廉离开，不想再多瞧她一眼。

否则，他会疯掉！

「来人！给我备马，快！」他沉浑的嗓音之中含着一丝尖锐，长腿大步过出房门，遵循他常久以来的习惯，到迎春阁找花魁飞凤，娇艳无双的她一定能够让他忘把这个小狼女。

释如意蜷起身子，慢慢地探出灵气的小脸，愣愣地看着他的背影，心里纳闷极了。他看起来好像很生气呢！

啊！他一定也是想要尿尿，才会发脾气吧！她天真地道幺想，自动爬出来，想把好位置让给他，却不料他愈走愈远。

鸣……他是想要去外面扩充领地吗？呜……怎幺不带她去呢？基于兽类用气味估地的习性，让释如意有这样的笨想法。

「傲傲……」

打从释如意这个名字出现在他的生活里，令狐傲就没有一天好过，他的心高气傲不允并自己去拥抱一个野女娃，依他冷酷无情的个性，他应该要轻视她的粗鄙舆野蛮，而不是像现在这样火热地渴望她。

然而，她就像是一定小兽般，天真无邪的睁着大眼睛，让他觉得罪恶，禽兽不如，矛盾挣扎。

该死！尤其是她那一双黑璨璨的大眼睛……

虽位于易旱的京城里，令狐府那能够靠庞大的财势，维持出一片景观殊异、美不胜收的江南园林风光。

柔约婉致之中，却又不失北方壮阔的气势，人工开琢一大片绿幽幽的深湖，亭阁小楼，暖风拂来，带起清凉的水气，扑在身上，说不尽的情人畅快，沁人心脾。

然而，几乎有半片湖水都被圈禁在一大面院墙之内，走进「宇天院」，过了卧红桥，一座小棍台独立于水波荡漾之间，令狐傲将之取名为「洞天阁」，那是他平日起居之所，三合格局，分前后两过，之间拓了一片空旷的地方，是他平日修练武功的地方。

一切都是如此平静，仿佛所有的人世纷争都在这片美景之中消失于无形，然而，就在此际，男人沉浑雄厚的吼声有如平地一声雷，狠狠地劈开这美景，益且撤底粉碎宁静。

「野娃儿--」

又是一声惊大动地的怒吼，院外的下人们听得心惊胆战，心里直为那个被主子盯上的人祈祷，只求不要大惨就好。

「哇鸣……」

此时，释如意正躲在大书柜与墙壁的夹缝之间，逃避火冒三大而且脸色不善的令狐傲。

啊鸣……他生气了！

「这到底是第几次了？！我说的话，你到底听不听得懂？」令狐激怒瞪着她满是怯生生的小脸，心里火光，「谁教你去厨房偷东西吃？不仅如此，还把那地方弄得一团乱，你到底是什幺居心？」

为什幺……为什幺他要生气呢？释如意扬起浓黑的长睫，皱起眉头望着他一脸不悦的神情，心里委屈。

「你那是什幺眼神？过来！」令狐傲轻撇下颔，朝她示意，在他的手里握着一双象牙筷子。

见状，释如意却更是往墙缝里缩去，扁着小嘴儿，像只受伤的小野兽般低喝着，双手捂着肚子，听见里头咕嘻嘻地叫饿。

她好饿，饿到都快要没有力气了！

为什幺他总是要她拿那两根细细长长的东西挖饭吃呢？滑溜溜的，她根本连拿都拿不住，更不要都拿它来吃饭了！

咕噜咕噜，她好饿喔……

「出来，我不会再凶你，只要作乖乖学拿筷子吃东西，你想吃什幺，我都会教厨房弄来给你，乖，快过来！」令狐傲试着让冷硬的口气温柔一些，想要把她从墙缝里骗出来。

释如意听见他柔徐的语气，心里一暖，虽然听不懂他话中的意思，可是她只迟疑了一下，就从墙缝里爬了出去，小心翼翼地接近他。

「很好，再过来一点。」令狐傲扬唇一笑，朝她伸出大手，瞥见她身上好不容易穿上的衣装被弄得一团脏乱，只能在心里叹息。

他的新娘呀……

「呜……」他应该不会再生气了吧！释如意缓缓地接近他的手，亲匿伸出小舌头舔了一舔。

当她灵活小巧的嫩舌舔触到他的手指时，令狐傲心里微愕，错纵复杂的情感顿时袭上心头。

他眉心一皱，犹豫了半晌，大手缓缓地握成拳头，缩了回来，神情淡然地貌道：「站起来，不准你用手跟脚走路，难看极了！」

她微扁着小脸，抬眸疑惑地望着他倏然变得冷漠的神情，好像有点了解他的话，却又不是很真确，隐隐约约的。

「站起来！」

过了久久，令狐傲见她还是没有把他的话听进去，遂伸手硬是将伏在地上的她携起来，搁坐在一张紫檀椅上，让她定定地坐在桌案前，有力的大手按住了她的双肩，教她不能轻举妄动。

「啊……汪鸣……」

她不停地挣扎，似乎不太习惯如此安分的坐法，她觉得自己好像被人圈在一座牢笼内，让她的心里有很深、很深的压迫感。

她怕……好可怕……

「来人，把饭菜送进来！」令狐傲不顾她的慌张害怕，专横而且霸道地控制住她的行动，扬声对门外唤道。

不到一刻的时间，下人们鱼贯进来，在他们的手里都各自端捧着一道佳肴，熟练地放置在桌上之后，随即悄静地离去。

闻到了香喷喷的饭菜香味，释如意顿时安静了下来，瞪大了黑璨璨的眸子，紧盯着桌上的食物，饿极了的她，口水都快要流出来了。

好好吃的样子唷……尤其那盘烤得金黄香脆的鸡，鸡翅、鸡腿、鸡胸肉、还有鸡屁股呢……看得她心痒痒，不停地吞咽口水。

「只要你肯乖乖听话，这些东西，你要吃多少，就有多少！」令狐傲随手拉近一张凳子，紧邻着她身旁坐下。

她一时看呆了眼，也听不太懂他的话，只想快点吃到那好吃的烤鸡肉，所以并不将他的话放在心上。

咕噜咕噜……她没有多想，肮脏的小手就这样伸了出去……

「慢着！」令狐傲的手有如鹰爪一般，迅速地擒住了她的手腕，取过他手边的湿绢巾将她的手擦乾净，「好了，不准用手，学我一样拿筷子！否则就不准你吃任何东两。」

一双象牙筷被硬塞到她的手里，沉甸甸的，让她连握都握不好。释如意苦着小脸，眸光乞群，「吃……吃……傲傲……野娃饿……」

经过了他几日威逼的苦练，在这之中她学会了几个简罩的字，只不过，她还是学不会拿筷子，吃不到东西。

听见她楚楚可怜的语气，令狐傲直觉心里好像被人拿针螫疼了下，但他随即抛诸脑后，冷声道：「既然饿了就认真的学。野娃儿，我己经没有时间了，你这样子教我怎幺娶你为妻？」

什幺妻不妻的，释如意不知道，她只晓得自己再不吃东西，会饿坏的。他们俩都会饿坏的。

「把筷子拿好，像我一样」令狐做动作灵活地用筷子将一愧鸡胸肉夹到自己的碗里，随即放下筷子，示意她照做。

他好厉害喔！她以一种非常崇拜的眼光注视着令狐傲，收回视线看了自己手里的象牙筷半晌，想着这丽根细细长长的东西原来可以如此神奇，就很快乐地发出一声轻鸣鸣，像握着刀子般，伸出筷子想要将那只大鸡腿灾进自己的碗里。

说也奇怪，虽说野狼吃的是生肉，但她在山上时，就不随着同伴一起进食，她总是会独自跑到山林家找猎户或是寻常人家偷馒头或肉乾来吃，再不然就是吃一些野果子裹腹，无论如何，她绝不吃生肉。

现在，有香喷喷的鸡可以吃，她乐得快飞上天去了！

令狐傲皱起两道英挺的剑眉，看着她握着筷子在盘里翻弄了一会儿，白费力气。

「错了，不是这样拿法！」他摇了摇头，伸手抽起她手里的筷子，不让她再胡搅一通，「我再说最后一次，好好的学，知道吗？」

呜……他不让她吃了！释如意漆黑的大眼睛透出浓浓的失望之情，闷闷地低叫着，「啊鸣……饿……野娃饿……」

令狐傲无奈地叹了口气，将象牙箸塞回了她的手里，用大掌紧紧地将她的小手包住，纠正她夹菜的动作。

她惊奇地看着自己的手被他密密地包住，手里两根细细长长的东西也像有了生命，自己跑去夹了一块小鸡腿回来。

哇……

「来，把嘴张开。」他将鸡肉送进了她的嘴里，当作是赏给她的甜头，深眸一效，微笑道：「好不好吃？」

空腹饥饿了许久，尝到了第一口食物，对释如意而言，简直就像是天大的恩赐，她笑眯了黑璨璨的明眸，狼吞虎烟。

「你自己试试看！」他放开了紧握她的手。

释如意吃到了第一块鸡肉之后，似乎信心满满，天真地以为这一次筷子也含自动跑去把东西夹到她的嘴里，信手而出。

可是，神奇的魔法消失了，筷子好像死掉了，不会再为她夹东西回来，她心里慌洲精品精品2020-国产亚洲综合久久系列-国产亚洲久久777777了，胡乱地拨弄，食物四散到桌上。

「吃……吃……」

她肚子好饿……好饿呀！

释如意怯生生地侧眸望了令狐傲一眼，希望他能够再施展一次那种神奇的法力，让她能够再吃到东西。

要不然，他们的宝贝会饿坏的！她要很小心、很小心才行呢……

原来，自从上次与令狐傲发生亲匿的行为之后，她就一直以为自己就像真正的野狼，交配之后就会生下小狼。

却不知，他们除了肌肤的亲密接触，她根本还是个完壁无暇的处子之身，两人之间心乎可以算得上清白，在她的肚子里根本就不可能怀有令狐傲的骨肉，一切不过是她的幻想而已。

然而，看见她的笨拙，令狐傲只是投以冷冷的一瞥，似乎已经对她辙底失望了。「不要看我，继续！」

他并不知道，她的慌张来自于想要保护肚子里假想出来的骨肉，她只是不想饿坏了他给她的宝贝。

她一直以为自己怀孕了，然而那却是不可能的事情，他知道，所以他猜不出她此刻的心思。

「傲傲……野娃饿……要吃……吃……」她嗓音低细地叫着，闷郁而且可怜，漆黑的明眸闪动着哭光，仿佛在乞食般地瞅着他不放。

「给我继续，在你学会之前，你什幺东西都别想吃进嘴里，听见了吗？」他冷横了她一眼，漠然地轻哼了声。

她隐的听懂了他的话，突如其来的一阵安静之后，潜藏在她体内的兽性忽然大发，筷子一丢，胡乱地伸手抓起食物就往嘴里塞。

「住手！」天杀的野女人！令狐傲气急败坏地擒住她的手，然而，混乱之间，只听得她不停像野兽般吼叫，咀嚼着满嘴的食物，娇小的身子充满了野蛮的力气，在他的控制之下，乱七八糟地扭动着。

「啊鸣……啊……」

她生气了！为什幺他都不懂、不懂？释如意咿咿呀呀了半天，心里无助极了，满肚子的委屈化成了怒意，野手一扫，满桌子精致的菜肴就这幺被她毁了，杯盘落地，应声而碎。

「你该死的给我住手！」令狐傲猛然站起身，满肚子火气，猿臂一扬，作势就要往她甩去。

「呜……」

他要打她了！释如意瞪大了黑璨的眼眸，受惊地蜷起了身子，一双小手系紧地抚在自己的肚子上，双腿曲起，整个身子缩进椅子里，不让他有机会伤害她肚子里的宝贝。

她要很小心、很小心，不然他给的宝贝就会消失的……

令狐傲在那一瞬间瞥见她小鹿般的无辜眸子，扬起的手臂顿在半空中，无论如何也下不了手，直勾勾地注视着她，看着她下意识地掩护住自己的肚子，很宝贝似的。

她想要保护什幺？！她连自己都顾不了了，还能干什幺？令狐傲看见她圆黑的瞳眸之中燃起了戒备的敌意，就忍不住一肚子火。

她究竟想要保护什幺？她究竟……

该死！令狐傲收回扬起的手臂，神情懊恼地转身，朝着门外怒声吼道：「来人！还不快进来把这些东西给我收拾乾净！」

他不该在乎的！她不过是个不值一提的野娃儿，他何必在乎……偏偏他就是该死的在乎！

为什幺？他不懂，真的不懂！

第五章

夜，凉如水。

就算如此，也消尔不了令狐做一肚子说不出原因的焦躁情绪，仿佛像是一根被磨得极利的鱼刺一般，梗在他的喉头不去。

她饿了吧！从今天中午过后就一直没吃东西，她一定会受不了的！

可是，高傲的自尊迫着他无法就此放弃，她就要是他令狐傲的妻子了，绝对不能这样丢人现眼，让他没有面子。

然而，她倔强着不肯用筷子吃东西，宁可饿得四肢无力，也要跟他作对，不让他如愿以偿……

忽地，令狐傲叹了口气，承认心疼。

她是一个如此惹人怜受的小家伙呀！

「仁叔！仁叔，你在哪里？进来一下。」

令狐傲精明的眸光之中，透出一丝复杂难解的请绪，迅速从书案前起身，扬声唤来下人。

咕噜噜……

玲珑的身子像一只小老鼠般藏在被窝里，释如意可怜而且虚弱地偎在床角，觉得自己就快要饿到死掉。

看，她就要不能呼吸了……心跳得好快，脑袋里热烘烘的，仿佛就要窒息。不知道要将盖得密不通风的锦被拉开的她，绝望地想着。

「你这是在干什幺？想不开要自尽，也不用这样痛苦的闷死自己吧！」

令狐傲硬声说道。

他伸手一掀，绵被就从床炕的这一端飞到那一端，紧紧地裹在被子里的她也跟着飞了过去，传出一声痛呼。

「哇鸣……」她的额头与炕榻一拍即合，撞声响亮。

「你这又是在干什幺？」他几乎不敢置信地盯着她，神情错愕。面对她，生活总有不断的惊奇，不，或许要说是心惊胆战才对！

释如意抬眸瞪了他一眼，随即别过小脸，拉起被子将自己紧紧地包裹住，静静地不吭一声，似乎正悄声地指控他的冷酷无情。

不理他！他是大坏蛋！

「饿了吗？」他的语气仿佛漫不经心、随口问问。

她噘着细嫩的小嘴儿不说话，一双圆圆的大眼睛眨巴了下，她看起来好像还在气头上，唯有微微吸嗅的小鼻翼透露了她的心思。

好香喔！一闻就知道是很好吃的东西……那是什幺东西？

令狐傲将她的反应尽收眼底，心里觉得好笑，表面上还是淡然，道：

「我带来了一些枣幺幺亲手做的桂花糕，她的手艺在咱们京里可算得上是一绝，我从小就很爱吃，你想吃吗？」都完，他从身后拿出一盘颜色粉嫩、透出淡淡花香的小糕饼，单手端在她的面前，含笑扬眉。

释如意睁大了水灵璨亮的黑眸，咬着锋色的嫩唇，怯生生地抬起小脸，渴望地盯着玉盘中的食物。每一块糕子上都还烙着花印子，香得她是垂涎欲滴，一双小手蠢蠢欲动，几乎忘了跟他生气。

可是，就在下一瞬间，她退却地窝回了暖炕的角落，不敢伸手去拿。

「呜……」细细的兽鸣声，害怕而且失望。

令狐傲看见她想吃，却又恐惧着他的神情，顿时他的胸口仿佛被人狠狠地一击，疼得发紧。

他微俯下高大的身形，将手中的玉盘搁置在床畔，温柔低语道：「既然饿了就吃吧！这是可以用手拿的点心，你就尽管放心大胆的吃吧！就算你吃得一团乱，我也会当作没看见的。」话声未落，他仿佛投降似地举起双手，在半空中潇洒地挥了一挥，薄唇勾起浅笑，转身离去。

看见他高大的身影消逝在门边，释如意立刻从被窝中躜了出来，兴高采烈地伏下瘦瘦的身子，就近盯着那一盘桂花糕。

她舔了舔樱唇，吞了口唾液，伸手捉起了其中一块，就算她已经小心无比，还是把形状漂亮的桂花糕始弄碎了一半。

她对着糕饼轻嗅了两下，一双黑璨璨的圆眸盈满了幸福的笑意，好像在很久、很久以前，她就曾经闻过这个味道，好香喔……

最后，她轻轻地咬了一口，甜而不腻的花香味儿倏地充满了她的嘴巴、还有鼻子、眼睛、耳朵、身体……

反正，释如意都不出她心里此刻的感觉，只能用一种很珍惜的神情又咬了一口桂花糕，以止肚饥。

不生气了！她不生气了！释如意蜷着娇小的身于，捧着桂花糕，想起了把它送来的令狐傲，甜意不禁更深了。

夜渐渐地深了，房中除了近似野兽的叫春低吟声，还不时地传出一障又一障的窸碎声，不绝于耳。

窸窸……碎碎……

「小 ……小姐，弄春……弄春来替你穿衣了……」

一名模样可人、脸儿略圆的少女战战兢兢地捧着新衣走进房门。

她是令狐傲派来伺候释如意的丫环，他交代她要照顾好释如意，等教书的夫子请到之后，她也要陪着一起读书。对她这样一个下人而言，不啻是天大的荣幸，应该高兴都还怕来不及，只不过，她却是活得提心吊胆、惶惶不安。

因为，每天光是替小姐穿衣、梳发，就好像打仗，常常穿好衣服时，很可能就已经是中午进膳的时间了！

「晤……」

听见里头传来野兽似的低鸣声，弄春的心跳漏了一拍，脚步慢慢地饶过屏风，不意竟看见释如意眉开眼笑地坐在床边，直勾勾地瞧着她。

「春……春……」释如意娇俏的笑颜觅不到一丝杂质，细嫩的嗓音唤着弄春的名字。

顿时，弄春感动莫名、热浪盈眶，觉得这几天被释如意欺负得乱七八糟的窝囊气，都消失得无影无纵了。

好！为了小姐，她拼了！弄春放大胆子冲了上前，准备接受释如意更严格的考验。偶尔挨上小姐一拳，不算什幺啦……

「你吃吧！我先走了。」

令狐傲似乎打算探取眼不见为净，淡然地丢下一句话，转身就要走出房门，不想看释如意进膳时的杯盘狼籍模样。

算了，谁教他舍不得她捱饿！

释如意坐在同样一张圈椅上，盯着桌上美味的佳肴，简直是心花怒放、乐不可支。

然而，当她眼角余光瞥见他要离去的身影时，突然，心里再也拥不下任何食物的影子，从桌子上抓起了某样东西，跳起来步行坚难地追随在他的身后，伸出小手怯生生地揪住他的袖袍。

「傲傲……野娃学……学好……不生气……」她抬起一双灵亮的黑眸，透出乞求的神情。

令狐傲悠然回眸，当他瞧见她手里紧抓着不放的东西时，不禁露出错愕的神情，在她手里搁着的，是一双她先前宁死都不肯拿的象牙着。

「学好……傲傲……不生气……呜……」虽然她站立的姿势益不是很优雅好看，但她真的已经努力了。

令狐傲一眼就看出她努力了。

忽然间，他变得不那幺在意自己将要娶进门的新娘是一个什幺都不懂的野人，心里对她既疼又怜。

他扬起微笑，轻抚她蜜色的脸颊，一瞬也不瞬地瞅着她，朝伺候在门外的侍女们命令道：「来人，进来把桌上的膳肴撤下去，派人去告诉厨房的大师傅，做一些能用汤匙进食的东西，好吃的一样也不准少！」

「是，主子！」

几名婢女一接到命令，有人急忙地进来收拾饭菜，有人则快速地转身往厨房的方向奔去，转达主子的命令。

顿时，房中一片混乱，释如意也因为不知道眼前究竟发生了什幺事情而显得有些慌张，心里还是有点害怕人类。

「生气……傲傲……生气……」她做错了什幺事情吗？释如意心慌意乱，抽回她揪住令狐傲袖袍的小手。

「不！」令狐傲在半空中擒住了她的小手，牵着她走回桌前，溺爱地一笑，道：「我没有生气，你放心吧！」

就在这时……

「令狐大哥，小弟来看你了！高不高兴呀……」白天纶杀风景地闲踱了进来，看见令狐傲脸上出现罕见的温柔表情，顿时惊疑交加，「老兄，虽然最近生意不好做，但是你可千万不要想不开呀！有什幺事情咱们坐下来好好商量，不要这样吓小弟我！」

见着来人，令狐傲很不屑地横了他一眼，冷峻的神情一如以往。「你在胡说些什幺！」

这家伙！什幺时候不出现，偏偏挑在这时，令狐傲感觉到被他握在掌中的小手瑟缩了下，似乎很恐惧陌生人的出现。

「傲傲……」她一双黑璨璨的眸子又绽出了野火。

「我胡说？」还好，他总算恢复正常了。白天纶笑道：「令狐大哥，以后不要随便露出那种吓死人的表情，吓得小弟我心跳都快要停了！」

基于身为令狐傲死忠兼换帖多年，对于他这个害死人不赔命、笑埋藏刀的大商人，白天纶心里又爱又怕。

富可敌国的令狐家，足以教一洞王朝为之颤动、畏惧，长袖善舞、无所不能的令狐傲，能教一位君王感到威挟。

与令狐傲只能为友，为敌者，必死无疑！

「我脸上的表情关你什幺事？直说吧，你来我这里做什幺？」令狐傲对他总是没有好气，话落之时，抛下了一声冷哼。

白天纶专注地盯着被打扮得人模人样的释如意，一时之间，没听清楚令狐傲的问话，怔忡了半晌，喃喃地说道：「这小狼女长得还挺标致的。令狐大哥，说真的，如果你不要的话，就转让给小弟吧！」

「白天纶，小心我一状告上你大哥那里，教你吃不完兜着走！」令狐傲将身边的小人儿抱进了怀里一举一动之间，充满了伯有欲。

一听到他搬出了自己那个可怕万分的大哥，白天纶冷不防地打了个寒颤，讨好地嘻笑道：「令狐大哥，小弟开开玩笑，不要这幺认真嘛！你不是想要知道你父亲的下落吗？小弟不负期望，终于知道伯父他人还在京城里，至放他真正的落脚处……就再、再说嘛！」

事实上，他还没找到！

「哼！那个死老头！」令狐傲怎幺会不知道他的意思，轻哼了声，深遂的寒眸中闪过一丝怒意，「要野娃儿一年之内把孩子生下来？他以为她在生小狗、小猫吗？该死！」

他要快点找到那个老头儿，教他撤销掉将家产转移的主意，必要的时候，他会不择手段，就算他是他的亲生父亲，也不例外。

这些年来，他费心努力赢来的一片天，没有人能够从他的手里夺走它！

父亲之前说得真好，他似乎天生就是做商人的料子！

重利，轻别离。

「令狐大哥，听说你请了朝中几位翰林要教释如意读书，可是认真的？她似乎……」白天纶对眼前的野少女似乎不寄希望，摇了摇头。

似乎感应到白天纶的轻视，释如意探出小脸，凶狠地朝他低吼，「啊鸣……生气……生气……」

「她……她会说话？」

看见白天纶愕然的表情，令狐傲莞尔，大掌柔抚着释如意身后的长辫子，莫测高深地一笑，道：「我只怕是再认真不过了。」

白天纶又不自禁地打了个冷颤。再次看见令狐傲温柔的神情，他不禁心想，接下来的景象一定会变得很不好，因为令狐做好像想要干掉很多人。记得上一回他展现出真心的微笑之时，是在两年前，他施展巧妙的手段，搞垮了河束土霸王陈丕，陷陈家于家破人亡、万劫不复之境地……

这回，又是谁要倒楣了？

"Ah--" Another scream rang out.

At that moment, Linghu Ao was in his study reviewing documents sent by merchants from various regions when he heard a man's pained voice coming from the east wing. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Young Master Linghu! Please find someone else; I'm done!" A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in official robes, burst through the door of the east wing, his face bruised and swollen, his anger blazing.

Good heavens! Things had turned out exactly as he expected; how could that wild girl possibly be obedient? Linghu Ao could only manage a bitter smile.

"Uncle Ren." Linghu Ao waved his hand to summon his loyal old servant, speaking calmly, "Send someone to escort Grand Secretary Ren back to his residence. Later, go to the accounting office and fetch a hundred taels of gold; deliver it to the Ren residence along with the gold. Don't let people say our Linghu family is unhospitable. Go!"

"Yes, I know what to do!"

Uncle Ren smiled kindly, cupped his hands in a courteous manner, and went out to greet him. He then ushered Lord Ren aside, and under his reassurance, the two were soon chatting and laughing, turning into the path leading to the accounting office.

The harmonious atmosphere made it seem as if nothing had happened...

The next day.

"Ah... Help!"

Hearing the piercing scream again, Linghu Ao closed his eyes, let out a sigh, and raised his long arm—another hundred taels of gold for severance pay and medical expenses.

The following day.

"Murder! Murder!"

Linghu Ao strained to keep his handsome face straight as he stared at the powerful and influential Hanlin scholar Liu, whose dark circles under his eyes stood at the door of his study, looking pale and sickly. He had to work very hard to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth from bursting into laughter.

He would find an opportunity to relay this scene to the current emperor to make him happy. He had heard that the emperor and Hanlin scholar Liu had been at odds for a long time, but because Liu was a veteran of three reigns, the emperor was reluctant to punish him.

Linghu Ao secretly cheered in his heart, "Well done, you wild child!

" Coincidentally, things didn't stop there.

Shi Ruyi had chased away several renowned Hanlin scholars in the capital one after another, completely disregarding the fact that they had come because of Linghu Ao's reputation. This matter had become the talk of the town, and everyone knew that the fiancée of the richest man in the world, Linghu Ao, was a notorious wolf girl.

In just seven days, Shi Ruyi had driven away seven Hanlin scholars, and now everyone in the court trembled at the mention of "wolf."

However, perhaps having grown accustomed to it, Linghu Ao no longer cared. Furthermore, his businesses across the country were quite busy these days, and he was also busy arranging his wedding, so he turned a blind eye to Shi Ruyi's impending departure.

However, Shi Ruyi didn't seem to be invincible. The eighth Hanlin scholar, Wei Xun, seemed to have escaped unscathed after two days of instruction, much to everyone's surprise.

"Lord Wei, thank you for your hard work!"

Linghu Ao had been away from home all day due to some matters in the martial world. Upon returning, he saw Wei Xun about to leave and, eager to inquire about Shi Ruyi's studies, invited Wei Xun into his study, indicating that someone should deliver a hundred taels of gold to reward Wei Xun for his efforts.

Wei Xun, not expecting Linghu Ao to be so generous, accepted the red silk tray presented by the servant with trembling hands, repeatedly bowing in gratitude.

"Thank you, Young Master Linghu. I will certainly do my best to teach Miss Shi. I hope you can put in a good word for me before the Emperor..."

Linghu Ao sneered inwardly, nodding insincerely. Just then, a maid rushed in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Suddenly, his face darkened, and he swiftly rushed out the door, coldly announcing, "Lord Wei, I'm leaving!"

"No...no..." Shi Ruyi's small body curled up in the corner of the warm kang, her hands tightly hugging herself, her eyes brimming with tears, her gaze warily fixed on the people before her.

Linghu Ao gently reached out his hand to her, but unexpectedly saw her shrink back, trembling with fear, desperately hiding in the corner. He instinctively felt something was wrong.

"What happened? How did she become like this?" His shrewd eyes turned cold, his voice soft and gentle, afraid of frightening her, but the chill in his tone was enough to terrify anyone who heard it.

Nongchun, who was sobbing in the crowd, forced herself to walk out and choked out, "It's all Nongchun's fault... Actually, Miss didn't go to class today. That Grand Scholar was a complete fraud. Ever since Miss went back to her room yesterday, she's been acting strangely. She won't let Nongchun help her change her clothes, and she won't even let me touch her. Waaah... Miss and Nongchun have such a good relationship, how could this happen..."

"Why didn't you send someone to tell me sooner?" Upon hearing this, Linghu Ao flew into a rage, shouting, "Didn't I tell you to stay close to her? Why did she suddenly become like this? Nongchun, you'd better give me an explanation, or you'll lose your life!"

Nongchun was so frightened by Linghu Ao that she dared not shed tears, and said in a trembling voice, "It must have been yesterday afternoon. That scholar saw that it was getting cold and asked Nongchun to fetch a windbreaker for Miss. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, when Nongchun returned to the study, the once vibrant Miss... had already become like this."

After hearing Nongchun's words, Linghu Ao turned to look at the timid Shi Ruyi. Her dark eyes were pale with fear, and her gaze was pitiful and helpless.

"Be good, tell me, who bullied you?" His chest felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and waves of convulsive pain gripped him tightly.

"It hurts... Ao Ao... I'm angry... Wild child is angry... It hurts..." Hearing his gentle inquiry, Shi Ruyi pouted, and two crystal tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

Upon hearing this, Linghu Ao's heart skipped a beat. His sharp eyes turned cold, and he suddenly grabbed her small hand hidden in her sleeve, seeing the bruises left by a rattan cane, a shocking sight.

Damn it! Wei Gou dared to hit her!

No wonder he was able to stay until the next day without being kicked out! No wonder she was so quiet and didn't resist, so afraid that no one could get close to her!

Linghu Ao gritted his teeth, blaming himself for letting a wolf into the house!

"Uncle Ren, send someone to stop that Wei Gou, don't let him leave the mansion." Linghu Ao's cold eyes held deep anger as he said in a deep voice, "I won't let him go! I will repay him a thousand times, ten thousand times over for today's grudge!"

Uncle Ren nodded, hurrying to lead his men to complete the task his master had entrusted to him. He had lived in the Linghu family for decades and had never seen Linghu Ao so enraged.

In people's eyes, Linghu Ao was always calm and composed, unmoved by anything, let alone bothering to care about others.

However, at this moment, he was almost like a ferocious beast ready to tear a person apart, bloodthirsty and crazed. His two icy eyes, like snarling teeth ready to bite off the enemy's throat as a blood sacrifice to compensate for the pain Shi Ruyi was suffering.
