In an attic at the back of the house, the bead curtains are rolled up, giving it an antique feel.
In the corner of the wall, a bronze crane incense burner is emitting wisps of sandalwood, and the fragrance is lingering, making people feel calm and peaceful.
The soft couch is covered with an autumn-colored cushion with a moon palace and laurel pattern. Wu Mei Niang is sitting on it. Her splendid and colorful dress makes her flower-like face become more graceful and luxurious, and her skin is as beautiful as snow. There is a carved lacquer table in front of her.
There are several peach blossoms inserted diagonally in glass bottles. The buds are light pink, delicate and bright.
Outside the half-open window, mist and rain are drifting, and the green mountains in the distance are like black clouds. The cool breeze brings in a bit of cool and refreshing water vapor, which makes people feel refreshed.
Wu Shunniang, dressed in commoner clothes and wearing hairpins, sat in front of Wu Meiniang, her bright and pretty face was tense, and her expression was filled with tension and embarrassment...
Wu Meiniang gently waved her hand and drove all the maids to the lower part of the verandah.
Wu Shunniang became more and more nervous...
"Sister, drink tea."
Wu Meiniang picked up the white porcelain teapot with bare hands, filled the cups in front of them with the green tea in the pot, and gently pushed the cups in front of Wu Shunniang with her slender white palms.
"oh……"
Wu Shunniang picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip. Her eyebrows were lowered and she stared at the misty tea in the teacup without daring to raise her head.
Somewhat guilty...
Wu Meiniang picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip. She looked up and saw her sister's coy look, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips.
"Actually...I know everything..."
Wu Meiniang thought about it for a moment and said slowly.
"..."
Wu Shunniang was slightly startled at first, then her snow-white cheeks were stained by the red clouds, her face turned red, her ears were red, she was at a loss, and she said in panic: "Sister...I...I..."
Although she had already prepared that the affair between her and Fang Jun could not be hidden from Mei Niang, Wu Shun Niang was inevitably embarrassed and ashamed when Mei Niang exposed her directly. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, especially for the families of powerful nobles.
, this little bit of trouble is really nothing, almost not even a scandal.
It would be better if she was a sister-in-law, but it would be embarrassing if she was an aunt and the man who robbed her sister...
Wu Meiniang looked at her sister's anxious expression, even her eyes were filled with moisture, and couldn't help but think of how her sister protected her when she was bullied and abused by her brothers and cousins in the Wu family when she was a child. She sighed slightly in her heart and stretched out her arms.
He reached out and gently held Wu Shunniang's soft hand.
She said softly: "Since I was a child, my sister has protected me in every possible way. How can I not remember the kindness of sisters? When I was a child, my sister vowed that the best things in this life must be shared by my sister..."
Wu Shunniang became more and more ashamed and helpless, tears rolled down her eyes, and she sobbed: "Sister, please stop talking...it's my sister who's bad...it's my sister who couldn't hold it back, it's my sister who's mean..."
Sisterly love is deep, and what one party has can indeed be shared with the other, but this does not include men...
Wu Shunniang naturally knew how hard her sister was, and how difficult it was to be favored by Fang Jun and enjoy today's happiness, but she was obsessed with it, which cast a shadow on her sister's life. If the incident between her and Fang Jun spread,
It's not that there will be such a great response, but it will definitely be a serious blow to my sister's reputation.
How will this allow her to control the enlarged family fortune in the future?
Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly, held her sister's hand tightly, and said softly: "Sister, do you think that my sister is so intolerant? Even if she is intolerant, can't she even tolerate her widowed sister? My sister loves Erlang, and these days
The sun's face was radiant, and my sister felt so happy when she saw it."
Radiant…
Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Wu Shunniang became even more embarrassed and her face was bleeding.
With a slight sigh, Wu Meiniang let go of her sister's hand and instead put her arm around her shoulders, sighing: "In this world, it's not easy for women to live happily... It's such a thing for sisters to serve the same husband. My sister is
He didn't resist. It's just that Erlang seemed kind and gentle, but in fact he had a lot of ideas in his heart. My sister was honest with her today, and she also wanted to persuade her not to fall into too deep, and end up with a broken heart, but that was not what she wanted.
What I saw..."
Wu Shunniang wiped away her tears, raised her eyes in astonishment, and looked at Wu Meiniang's charming face with some confusion.
What does this mean?
Wu Meiniang looked at her sister's expression and sighed in her heart.
The two sisters share the same mother, but their temperaments are very different. As an elder sister, Wu Shunniang is weak and cowardly, and she accepts everything. Even if the Helan family tries to make things difficult for her with ulterior motives, she cannot even think of a single thought of resistance.
She half-heartedly agreed to get along with Fang Jun. Although she had a great affection for Fang Jun, she was not a flirtatious woman. She just thought that her sister was favored by Fang Jun, and she was afraid that she would offend Fang Jun and implicate her sister, so she did not dare to resist...
As the younger sister, Wu Meiniang is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and has a tough mind!
Looking at her sister's pretty face that had not been stained by the traces of time, Wu Meiniang said softly: "Although Erlang is in love with my sister, he... may not marry her..."
Wu Shunniang was startled, and quickly shook her head: "What did my sister say? Don't say that he doesn't want to marry, even if he wants to marry, how can my sister marry? Not to mention that sisters serving the same husband will become a laughing stock in the world, it is Min Zhi and
How can my sister let go of Min Yue and her children?"
Her husband, Helan Yueshi, died young and left behind a pair of children, whom Wu Shunniang loved like treasures.
If she joins the Fang family, the Helan family will definitely not allow her to remarry with her children. How can she safely abandon her children in the mud pit of the Helan family?
Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on her face: "Sister, you...are you just following Erlang for no apparent reason?"
When she talked about this, Wu Shunniang started to shed tears again, and said with sobs: "What can our daughter's family do? After all, we just want to find a man to live with. Since I don't want to remarry, and I have an affair with Erlang, I'm afraid
Isn't that what it is... I'm just so sorry for you, sister, that makes my sister shameless..."
Wu Meiniang was speechless. She didn't expect that her sister had such thoughts...
But is being sneaky like this a long-term solution? I have wronged my sister so much.
He couldn't help but persuaded: "My sister is fine, what does this kind of thing mean among aristocratic families? The more prominent the family members are, the more dirty and dirty they are.
As a gray woman, the matter between my sister and Erlang is not worth mentioning... It’s just that my sister is now in her prime, so why not find a good family to remarry? Although we can’t count on her mother’s family, Erlang is very fond of her now.
Doting on me, and having such a... romantic relationship with my sister, I expect that the Fang family can also take care of me, so I won't be bullied."
This is really a mature statement.
A woman's destination is a man. Even if Wu Meiniang doesn't care that her sister has an affair with her husband, it is still shameful. Will her sister just waste her whole life like this?
Now is the age of flowers and beauty, so finding a good family and remarrying quickly is the right way...
Wu Meiniang was well aware of her husband's attraction to women. Didn't she see that even Princess Changle, the most favored princess in the palace, was having an affair with Fang Jun? Her sister was a widow, and meeting Fang Jun was a real match for her.
Wu Shunniang's eyes were filled with sadness, she bit her lip slightly, shook her head and said: "I will never mention the matter of remarriage again. I really can't bear to abandon a pair of children... The matter between my sister and Erlang... I am really unworthy of my sister, and I will definitely break up with them in the future."
, if you don’t have anything to do with him, then there’s nothing to do with it.”
Although she was greedy for the taste...but it was a forbidden feeling in the end. In front of her sister, she really had no shame in continuing it so secretly.
All I can say is that fate plays tricks on people, and I wish we could meet each other before we were married...
Wu Meiniang, on the other hand, seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and teased softly: "Men are all greedy cats. They don't steal wherever there is something fishy. If Erlang is greedy for his sister and insists on pestering him, he doesn't know that his sister can still be cruel enough to reject him.
Outside the door?"
The affairs between men and women are just a layer of window paper. Once this layer of window paper is pierced, it will be a matter of course.
After the first time, there will inevitably be a second time, a third time...
What's more, a young and heroic young official like Fang Jun, a young master from an aristocratic family?
It's really like poison, making women unable to stop and unable to resist...
Wu Shunniang's face was dripping with blood, and she was so ashamed: "I, I, I... of course I can break it off..."
Thinking of those scenes in my mind, I felt an uncontrollable surge of heat in my body. My words were so empty, but my tone was not firm at all.
But since Mei Niang doesn’t care, it’s not a bad idea to follow him secretly like this all her life...
However, Wu Meiniang never expected that she had deliberately tried to persuade her sister to remarry, but in the end she was determined to secretly follow Fang Jun.
The reason why she wanted to persuade her sister to remarry was that she understood that it was not easy for her to be widowed at a young age, and that she and Fang Jun valued friendship. Since she and her sister had such a casual marriage, they naturally would not ignore her and just enjoy her body.
There is no good person in the Helan family from top to bottom. They are all a group of people who are short-sighted and unjust. Now the confrontation between Fang Jun and the family members is so serious. If someone is using the Helan family to blackmail Fang Jun, I am afraid that
Fang Jun must be tricked...
Wu Meiniang was worried, but Wu Shunniang suppressed her shyness and asked softly: "Meiniang, do you think that if my sister asks Fang Jun to arrange Minzhi to enter the naval academy...will he agree?"
