Regarding the matter of letting Nie Yunzhu go to the Su family, although Yunzhu himself did not seem to care, or he accepted it calmly and chose to face it, Ning Yi was still considering it.
Emotional matters have little to do with reason. Although Ning Yi has made a decision in his heart, being decisive and decisive may not be able to handle this matter well. As a modern person, his moral consciousness still hinders him in some aspects, not to mention that in his previous life
My talent tree did not click on the "Love Saint" branch. When faced with this matter, I was a little unsure and couldn't find the best solution for a while.
This shortcoming in character is ultimately due to the fact that he did not really give his feelings in the last life. He may not have thought about it seriously, but only thought about how to solve the problem. But regarding this, Yunzhu
She could see it. She thought this was Ning Yi's cute and sincere side. If she told him, she didn't know if he would laugh helplessly. But in any case, Myolie came to her and proposed the invitation.
The next morning, Yunzhu didn't mention it to Ning Yi.
Jin'er was also silenced by Yunzhu. She just glared at him that morning and thought for a moment: "Your wife is going to bully us, your wife is going to bully us..." As for Sister Yunzhu's decision to go to the appointment
, she felt a little uneasy. On the one hand, she didn’t know what kind of battle she would face. She hoped that Ning Yi could wake up and know that she and Sister Yunzhu were threatened. On the other hand, she felt that if Sister Yunzhu was bullied,
No matter what, if Ning Yi knows about it in the future, Ning Yi will definitely think that his wife is arrogant and unreasonable.
After all, the tacit understanding between the two has not reached this level yet. Ning Yi couldn't understand the look in her eyes at the first time. He just felt that Jin'er was unhappy with him today. But that's okay. It was probably because she finally recovered from the shock she suffered the day before yesterday.
, realizing that this matter is ultimately to blame on oneself.
It wasn't until this afternoon that he learned from Wenren Buer that Xing'er had visited Yunzhu yesterday. He vaguely felt something was wrong and quickly turned back. By this time, Yunzhu had been sitting at Su's house for half an hour.
******************
The sky was still overcast, as if it was about to rain. The long alleyway with its high eaves always gave people a somewhat eerie feeling, but occasionally children or servants walked by, playing loudly or talking in low voices.
It only slightly diluted this impression. The Su family's mansion is neither big nor small in Jiangning City. It has been lived in for many years and has been lived in by many people. The blue bricks on the courtyard wall always have a quaint feeling.
Covered with moss and vines, each courtyard gradually acquired its own temperament due to the warmth of the people who lived there. Businessmen in the Wu Dynasty had no status. But after all, they were rich. The Su family bought the prototype of the mansion a few generations earlier, and then
After generations of expansion, we finally have a sense of enjoyment.
As she walked along this long road, occasionally some people in the yard looked over, with cautious eyes and different expressions. Some of those who were talking chose to remain silent when they saw the maid leading the way in front of her.
His eyes became weird.
Yunzhu had seen such a house and scenery before. At that time, her father had not committed any crime and she was still an official girl. Even though officials may not be as rich as those in business, she had also been under the leadership of her parents.
She has walked many such roads, seen many such scenery, and also vaguely seen... the complicated human heart hidden in such a deep house and compound. She once thought that she would never go back to such a deep house and compound, but... now
Her lover lives in a courtyard like this...
Thinking about it this way, it's really a wonderful feeling...
She used to be. More than ten years ago, ten years ago, or even a few years ago, she probably never thought that one day she would experience such a mood in the future. But time has indeed taken away and changed too many things.
From being carefree as a child, to being demoted as a prostitute, to those years of struggle and hesitation, to gradually becoming embarrassment and poverty after redemption, and all that followed. But one thing is very interesting - no matter what she once dreamed of,
No matter how different the person she will entrust her life to in the future is, I am afraid that none of them will be as strange as Li Heng in reality at this time, and she does not feel the slightest wrong with this.
"Miss Nie, this way..."
Realizing that the guest's pace gradually slowed down and he looked back, Myolie stopped and waited for a while. After confirming that there was no special figure behind him, he issued a warning. This Miss Nie looked a little strange.
Judging from her demeanor and temperament at this time, she didn't look like an ordinary brothel girl at all, but more like an official lady, but she didn't know what she was looking at... But after she reminded her, Yunzhu nodded, and followed Xing'er towards her.
It passed inside.
A moment later, Yunzhu saw Su Tan'er in the room of the small courtyard. This woman whom she had heard about many times and secretly guessed and fantasized about many times still looked a little haggard because she had just given birth to a child, but she had already put on her clothes.
She wore a formal dress. When Yunzhu just entered the door, what he saw was her figure sitting on the edge of the bed, looking a little thin. Then, she got out of bed with the help of the maid, smiling weakly.
He saluted her.
In Yunzhu's original imagination, this would be a beautiful and strong woman capable of taking charge of the entire Su family. But when he saw it now, he realized that her smile was not strong. It was kind, but also a little...
There was nothing in Yunzhu's observant smile that she disliked, so she quickly returned the gesture. Then, she heard someone talking over there.
"It's really presumptuous to invite Miss Nie over at this time. There have been a lot of big and small things going on in the family recently, which are not worthy of public comment. Miss Nie is my husband's friend, but she has also been affected. I am concerned about this matter.
Those people from the past generation will not be able to keep Miss Nie company..."
******************
When Su Tan'er and Nie Yunzhu finally met, Ning Yi said goodbye to Wenren Buer and was rushing back. Under the hazy sky in Jiangning City, except for the fewer pedestrians, everything was normal and the same as before. Jiangning City North Mansion
Near the Yamen, a group of travelers dressed as merchants were driving carts and pushing goods. They passed by the oncoming street patrols and went around to the street behind them.
The number of travelers in this group is about thirty, some are tall, short, fat, and thin, and some are carrying big guns and weapons. Merchants from Jiangning City come from north to south, and merchants often hire bodyguards or warriors.
, not surprising, but after bypassing the government office, when they saw the outline of Jiangning Prison, they paused slightly and met a short man walking towards them. Both sides bowed their hands.
"It's OK."
"That's right, the heroes captured by the Dog Court from the south were escorted here for just two days. Tonight is the last chance."
"Then let's proceed as originally agreed."
"The weather is a bit bad. Will it rain?"
"Originally we agreed to take advantage of the bustle in the city to take action to expand the chaos and encounter this bad weather. In this case, I'm afraid it won't work."
"It's better if it rains. Let's catch them off guard."
"...Then it's still the same as before. We'll do it after dark. Everyone, please remember to be smart...if it rains then, even better."
*********************
Mixed in the sound of wind chimes under the eaves was the cry of a baby. The courtyard was a little quiet. Xiaochan hurried over, picked up the child in the cradle, sang softly, rocked and coaxed her. The child had been fed before, and now
It wasn't like she was hungry yet. After being coaxed like this, she gradually became quiet again. While holding the child in her arms, Xiaochan looked towards the yard next door, with some worry in her eyes.
The young lady invited Miss Nie to her home. She knew about it and just secretly went over to listen to the voices there. She was a little confused about the young lady's intention, but according to what Juan'er came over a moment ago and said
, the young lady and the girl Nie were just having a very common conversation. The young lady asked about the girl Nie’s family background and past experiences, and the girl Nie spoke naturally. No matter from which angle it seemed, the two of them were very different.
There seems to be no thorn in the person's words or a feeling of wanting to intimidate the other person. They just simply understand the other person. Of course, most of the time it is the young lady who is asking, and Miss Nie answers.
Of course, it is not to show something to the other party, otherwise the lady might not let her bring the child here to avoid it. Even if the relationship between Miss Nie and the husband has not yet been determined, she needs to be polite and show it to her.
Having children is a beneficial and harmless thing, but Xiaochan didn't know why, so she insisted on doing it in the end.
She was thinking about something in her mind and gently rocked the child in her arms. When she turned around, she seemed to see a figure flashing past from the corner of her eyes, like her husband's figure, but when she looked carefully, there was no trace of a figure in the corner of the courtyard wall over there.
There was no noticeable movement. She probably saw it wrong... After a few more glances, she thought in her mind, put the child who had fallen asleep again into the cradle, and squatted beside her to look after her...
Ning Yi climbed up to the room on the second floor.
*********************
The reason why he was so sneaky was driven by curiosity. After all, Ning Yi was not aboveboard in this matter. After realizing that Yunzhu's visit could not be changed at this time, Ning Yi also understood that it was no longer a good idea to rush in at this time.
As a countermeasure, he climbed up to the room on the second floor and eavesdropped quietly for a while. At this time, his internal strength was already good, but because it was difficult to open the door to the room directly above, he chose a room farther away, and the one below
The sound came faintly, and it could still be heard clearly.
Then he also felt the strangeness of the situation. The two women talked for a long time like friends they had not seen for many years. The wife could not hear too many emotional fluctuations or thoughts in her heart. Reason told him that this situation was the most troublesome.
, but for a moment I couldn’t imagine what form the trouble would take. Until a certain moment, Su Tan’er suddenly said: “Xing’er, Juan’er, you go out first... Miss Nie, can you please accompany me? I have a
Something I want to talk to you about alone."
Yunzhu didn't speak, probably nodded, Xing'er seemed a little hesitant, Su Tan'er smiled: "It's okay, I can't beat Miss Nie now, and Miss Nie can't hurt me... Go out
Come on, close the door."
Xing'er and Juan'er went out, and the people below became silent. After a while, Ning Yi heard Yunzhu say: "Miss Su." Then Su Tan'er spoke, her voice was a little low, and she could hear it.
Not sure...
…
…
Su Tan'er stood up from the bed and walked towards Yunzhu. Yunzhu stood up quickly and called out: "Miss Su." He went over to support her. Su Tan'er smiled, her voice was a little low, and turned to Yunzhu.
Pushed her to the bed and asked her to sit down.
"Miss Nie, I'm calling you here this time. I have a request. It's too much. I know it's hard to say, but...Miss Nie, I'm just going to say it. You...if you refuse this, it's natural.
Yes, I'm sorry..."
She probably felt that the request was too much. After struggling for a moment, she finally whispered it out in a low voice. When she was halfway through the request, Yunzhu's face turned red at first, and then suddenly turned pale...
…
…
Vaguely, Ning Yi heard that Tan'er was saying that he wanted to make some excessive demands, but after all, his voice was too low, and he only heard some intermittent words, "heard", "perfect jade", "sister-in-law", "virgin", "quarrel"
or something, but it was difficult to piece together the outline for a while. The sky outside had already darkened, and I didn’t know if it was evening yet. Then I saw a flash of white light, and the March spring thunder suddenly sounded, and a roar completely covered up the sound below.
, and then no more movement was heard.
He kept organizing in his mind what these words might lead to, and suddenly, an extremely ridiculous idea crossed his mind...
…
…
In the bedroom below the courtyard, Yunzhu stood there, holding the skirt of her clothes with one hand almost subconsciously, looking at the window lattice that had just been whitened by lightning. She was already tall, and at this time she also showed a bit of
Weak and frail, she stood there, biting her lower lip unconsciously, but the request she just heard seemed to make her look a little dazed. After thinking about it for a while, she looked back and looked ahead.
Su Tan'er also has a somewhat complicated look in her eyes. The one she loves is the man's wife.
"Okay..." A distorted sound came from her throat that even she couldn't identify. After swallowing, she closed her eyes.
Gently, the hand pulled off the belt around the waist, and in the dark room, the woman's robe fell silently to the ground...
Su Tan'er closed her eyes, and a tear came out in the darkness, sliding down silently...
…
…
"It's impossible..."
In the room upstairs, Ning Yi sat there and raised his head. He seemed to have thought of something just now, but if that feeling happened, it would be really strange.
"I wanted to...see if you're still a virgin...it's just me, I know it's weird..."
How is this possible?
******************
The sky is getting dark and it is raining.
Near the Jiangning Mansion Prison, Lin Chong shook the spear in his hand. The people around him drew their weapons, and dozens of figures silently spread towards the prison...
