Sang Nuanyue fell into a trance for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she suddenly discovered that something was wrong in the house.
The room is too quiet, and people who are quiet feel panicked. There is also a faint masculine scent that slowly spreads out. And just in the direction of the window, a black shadow hung down and was reflected on the ground.
Sang Nuanyue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her breathing suddenly became urgent, and she suddenly said, "Who is it?"
The man didn't make a sound, but walked towards her. Sang Nuanyue suddenly got up from the bed and ran out. She was so shocked that she opened her throat and was about to scream, but she was suddenly hugged by someone and covered her mouth. She heard his familiar voice ringing in the dark night. "What was my cousin thinking just now?"
The word "cousin" brought Sang Nuanyue back from her thoughts. Her heartbeat was faster and the frequency of her heartbeat was higher, almost jumping out of her throat.
The soft moonlight spilled into the bed through the glass window. Through this faint silver light, Sang Nuanyue finally saw the face of the person in front of her clearly.
His facial features are sharp and angular, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a cold and graceful face. He usually has an expressionless face and only looks at people with a pair of cold eyes, giving people a full sense of oppression. This is still the case at this time.
He looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes burning and motionless. He clamped her chin with one hand, not allowing her to escape at all.
"My cousin hasn't told me what I was thinking just now."
"Hou, Lord Hou?"
"Well, it's me."
Su Jin's voice suddenly sounded outside the window, "Girl, are you calling me? I heard something moving in your room. Do you want to drink water, or do you want to stay up?"
Shen Tingjun caressed Sang Ningyue's chin unhurriedly. Gradually, the hand slowly moved up and touched her blushing cheek.
Sang Ningyue's heart beat too fast, and she grabbed his rebellious hand. Her panicked voice was trembling, fearing that Su Jin would suddenly barge in, and fearing that he would do something even more outrageous, Sang Nuanyue was in a state of panic.
But Shen Tingjun still said slowly, "Your maid is waiting for your reply. What is my cousin thinking, and why hasn't she spoken?"
Sang Nuanyue's heart trembled, and she quickly said, "No, nothing. I... am going to bed. Su Jin, please go back and rest. It's too cold, so don't get up at night."
After a long time, Su Jin responded, "Okay. Girl, I'm going back to rest. You should also go to bed early."
"well."
Su Jin's footsteps finally went away, and the heart Sang Nuanyue held slowly fell. She breathed a sigh of relief, but before the breath came out completely, she saw what they looked like at this moment again - she was pressed on the bed by Shen Tingjun, and one of his palms was tightly clasping her soft waist, and the other One hand was firmly grasped by her.
They clung to each other, their breaths intertwined, and when they lowered their heads and looked down, their faces completely overlapped.
Sang Nuanyue didn't know how they ended up like this. She quickly threw away his hand as if she had caught a hot potato.
But this made his movements more convenient.
The next moment, she saw him holding her face with one hand and firmly restraining her waist with the other, completely suppressing her.
Sang Nianyue didn't know what happened, so she was speechless. Fortunately, she still had the consciousness to resist, so she kept kicking and beating him, but this was no better than a cricket shaking a big tree.
She hesitated and even kicked the tea cup on the bedside table to the ground. With a crisp "cang" sound, Su Jin's voice rang again. Different from the calmness before, this time there was obvious urgency and panic in her voice, "Miss, are you really okay?"
Sang Yue couldn't make a sound and struggled hard to sit up. But with a soft "stab" sound, her inner garment was torn.
Sang Nuanyue covered her face, "No, nothing, I bumped into the bedside table." She was breathing unevenly and had difficulty breathing, "You, go back to sleep."
Sang Nuanyue didn't know whether Su Jin had left or not, and she had no time to care.
In this cold night, Sang Nuanyue was sweating profusely, and her body was as tired as if she had run hundreds of kilometers.
When daylight was about to break, Sang Nianyue finally got to rest.
She buried her head in the quilt and fell asleep with her face facing inward.
There was rustling noise outside, and she knew it was him getting dressed, and it was time for him to leave.
Sang Nuanyue finally spoke out. Her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible. But her words instantly dispelled the silence and warmth of the room, making the atmosphere suddenly feel like a world of ice and snow.
Sang Nianyue said, "Master Hou, am I repaying your kindness last time?"
Shen Tingjun's movements paused, and the expression on his face instantly condensed. After a long time, he sat back on the bed, pulled Sang Nuoyue over from inside, and held her in his arms.
He looked at her face in the dim light outside.
Her face was red and charming, and her face was full of spring color that could not be concealed. But the words she spat out were so heartless, treating it all as a shameful deal.
Shen Tingjun clamped her in his arms fiercely, rubbed her swollen lips with one hand, and exerted slight pressure. She shivered in pain, and her body shivered in his arms. But she still had her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to look directly at him.
When Shen Tingjun saw this, for some reason, his anger receded a little. But he still snorted coldly and said in a lazy and contented voice, "My cousin only regards this as repaying a favor? Since repaying a favor, there must be an equal number of times. Just one night, how can it be enough?"
Sang Nuanyue's face suddenly turned red, and she recalled the times he was unsatisfied that day. Thinking of the pain all over her body, she lay in bed for three days after arriving at Sang's house before she recovered.
She opened her eyes suddenly. Her eyes were watery, full of anger, and full of shame that could not be concealed.
"You, how could you..."
"How could I be so shameless?" Shen Tingjun caressed her delicate face. She is as charming as a rose flower blooming enchantingly, charming and seductive without even realizing it. It would be fine if she bloomed alone in a place where no one knew, but she bloomed under him.
Shen Tingjun's eyes became darker. He pressed her slightly swollen lips a few times and said the words for her, "If I weren't shameless, I wouldn't touch you. Now that I've touched you, I won't Let you go."
He put her down and left when the sky was half dark.
It wasn't until the house became quiet again that Su Jin opened the door and walked in with a lantern.
Before the smell in the house dissipated, Su Jin lit the candle and pushed the window slightly open.
The cold wind blows in, blowing away the warm smell in the house, and the airflow in the house circulates again.
Su Jin walked to the bed and saw the girl wrapped in quilt. She seemed to be in good spirits, but her exposed shoulders and neck were covered in spots that couldn't be concealed.
Su Jin hesitated for a long time before asking, "Girl, are you okay?"
Sang Nuanyue neither nodded nor shook her head. She was silently lost in thought, as if her soul had wandered into the sky.
Su Jin stopped talking and just sat quietly by the bed with the girl. After a long time, when Su Jin was about to fall asleep due to waiting, Sang Nianyue said in a hoarse voice, "He said he would not let me go."
"Is it Mr. Hou?"
"It's him."
When Su Jin heard this, her heart relaxed slightly, but then suddenly tightened.
The powerful Marquis of Wu'an was no ordinary man. His words were extremely powerful and his words were of great importance.
He said that he would not let the girl go, and that she would still be entangled with her in the future. But the girl is just an ordinary girl in this world. She has been pestered by Marquis Wu An for a long time. What if her love falls on him...
Su Jin had already thought about how painful the girl would be.
But she was completely powerless and didn't even know how to persuade the girl at this moment.
After being stiff for a moment, Su Jin finally asked, "Girl, are we leaving Beijing?"
Sang Nuanyue opened her eyes. She looked directly at Su Jin, seeming to be considering the feasibility of Su Jin's proposal, or thinking, could she really leave this capital?
Sang Nianyue said lonely after a long time, "He won't allow it. At least he won't allow me to leave the capital until he is tired of it." Shen Tingjun is not the king's chief secretary, and she is unable to do what she wants when facing the king's chief secretary. , but there was still hope at that time. But if Shen Tingjun pesters her and restrains her, she won't be able to go anywhere.
But who can blame this?
Even though she knew he had other intentions, she still reached out to him for help. She was the one who provoked him first.
*
After New Year's Eve, people begin to visit relatives and friends.
The Sang siblings have no relatives in the capital, and the only one they have frequent contact with is the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
But everyone in the Hou Mansion is also really busy. Cars and cars come and go in front of the Hou Mansion every day, and there is a huge flow of people. If you want to visit, you have to send a special greeting card to see if the host is willing to see you.
The Sang family also sent greeting cards according to the rules. Fortunately, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion knew that the old lady always thought of the siblings. After receiving the message, he immediately sent someone to the inner house, and it was soon in the hands of the old lady.
Sang Nianyue and Qing'er arrived at Wu'anhou Mansion on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year as they wished. The weather was warm and warm, the blue sky was clear and translucent, and even the sun was more brilliant than usual.
Spring has arrived, and the weather is really warm today, so Sang Nianyue took off her thick winter clothes and put on a rose-red jacket.
She was born with icy muscles and jade bones, and the red color made her look even more charming. Even Shuang Li, who came out specially to pick them up, saw them and couldn't help but joke a few words, saying that Miss Sang had gone out to take charge of her own life, and her complexion was indeed much better, her whole person was bright and translucent, as if the old lady had seen something she specified she liked. of.
When the old lady saw Sang Nianyue with such a beautiful color, she seemed to like something.
Sang Nuanyue and Qing'er knelt down to wish her New Year greetings and apologize, but the old lady didn't care at all.
He just held Sang Guanyue's hand and couldn't help but sigh, "You should live your life freely, right? You girl, you are so thoughtful, you keep all the good and bad in your heart, and you never tell me. I always thought you were I haven’t suffered any grievances in this house, but it’s only been a few days since you went out to live by yourself. Your whole face is radiant, and you look several times better than before. It seems that it’s still a good life to be the master of the house, so I will There is nothing to regret. I originally wanted you siblings to come back and live here for a while, but now it seems that you are more comfortable outside, so just live well."
What the old lady said was not sarcasm, nor was she sarcastic. It was purely based on her feelings.
She prides herself on treating the Sang siblings well, and she did feel depressed before because the two siblings didn't say goodbye. But now seeing their high spirits and bright little faces, the old lady couldn't help but sigh.
After all, the Hou Mansion is not their own home. They live under someone else's roof and live cautiously. Now that he is in charge of the family, he seems to have become more courageous and behaves more thoughtfully and appropriately.
Since your children are living a good life, don't force them, just let them live a comfortable life.
The old lady was so considerate, but fortunately Sheng warned her, "If there are outsiders who want to bully you when they see that your siblings are weak and weak, you should quickly come to the Marquis Mansion. I am your biggest supporter. Whoever dares to bully you, look at me." Don’t send them to the government.”
Sang Nuanyue already felt guilty, but after hearing what the old lady said, she felt even more guilty. Her eyes turned red and tears filled her eyes.
When the old lady saw this, she felt even more distressed. She wiped her tears herself and started laughing again.
Nothing unusual had happened in the Hou Mansion since Sang Nianyue left, so they just went about their daily routine.
The old lady said how tiring this year was, and Sang Nuanyue said that the old people in the family had come to Beijing. They used to be in charge of things in the Sang family, but now they looked older than before.
While the two were talking, the second lady came over with Zhou Baolu.
The sisters-in-law have been very tired these past few days. Most of the guests in the Hou Mansion need their company, and they also have to accompany their husbands to go out to pay New Year greetings to their close relatives.
We had banquets at one house after another, and we walked step after step. Although we ate well, not only did we not gain weight, our legs also became thinner.
The second lady is an interesting person, and she had a good relationship with Sang Nianyue before. Although she had criticized Sang Nuanyue for moving out of the Hou Mansion without saying a word, the second lady felt that Sang Nuanyue must have had some difficulties. After all, this cousin girl from the Sang family is really a thoughtful character. If she could catch her and move out in a hurry without even having time to say hello to the old lady, then something big must have happened.
The second lady was curious, but the second lady did not ask any further questions. She treated Sang Nianyue as affectionately as before, and even said that when she was done with her busy days, she would go to the Sang family's new house to sit for a while.
Compared with this decent and kind second lady, Zhou Baolu, the cousin, seems like an enemy.
Not only did she keep asking Sang Nianyue, why did she move out? Are you really that anxious? Do you have to move it? The reason for moving away is a bit far-fetched. Is she hiding something?
Zhou Baolu was full of anger, and the resentment and resentment in his tone could not even be concealed.
The second lady and the old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so they worked together to help Sang Nuanyue. The old lady also gave Zhou Baolu a few words to tell her to say less. Then Zhou Baolu hummed and shut up.
With Zhou Baolu present, Sang Nianyue felt that lunch was not going smoothly.
Fortunately, the old lady wanted to take a lunch break after lunch, so the siblings could go back.
When lunch was finally finished, Shen Tingjun came to He Yan Tang.
When the old lady saw her son coming over at this time, she couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Didn't he say that His Majesty wanted you to accompany him on a patrol today in a white dragon fish suit? Why are you back now? Have you had lunch?"
Shen Tingjun said, "There is a beauty in the palace who is pregnant. Your Majesty was overjoyed when he heard the good news and went back to the palace. I used some at Wangyue Tower with Your Majesty before. Mother, please continue to eat. I will have a cup of tea."
Because of Shen Tingjun's arrival, the second lady and Zhou Baolu felt uncomfortable, and they quickly dropped their chopsticks.
Sang Nianyue couldn't get enough of Zhou Baolu's face, and now Shen Tingjun is back...
She poked at the rice in the bowl and took a long time to eat a few grains. When the second lady and Zhou Baolu put down their chopsticks, Sang Nianyue couldn't wait to put them down.
When the second lady saw this, she said "Hey", "Cousin Sang, don't you want to eat more? You've only eaten half a bowl of rice?"
Everyone around looked at her, and Sang Nuanyue couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief tightly, and said with a difficult smile, "I woke up early and ate late. I'm not hungry yet... I really can't eat."
The old lady said, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it. It's just that your body has always been weak. After finally recovering, you still need to eat more food. Medicine is not as good as food. Instead of taking decoction when the body is weak, it is better to take it now." Eat more to nourish your body and keep your body healthy.”
"What you always say makes sense."
Zhou Baolu couldn't see Sang Nianyue acting obediently in front of the old lady, so she said, "My cousin promised well, but in order to keep her figure slim, she never eats well in private. But since I promised my mother this time, I should implement it well later." That’s it.”
After saying the words, she suddenly realized that the Marquis was still in front of her. Zhou Baolu froze and quickly added, "My cousin is also too worried about your health. You said that you took medicine for nearly three months to recover your health." , This is not easy. I can’t be willful again in the future, otherwise my cousin will be very distressed if she loses her body. "
When the second lady heard Zhou Baolu's words, she reflexively wanted to look outside. The sun doesn't come out from the west today. Why did Zhou Baolu change her gender?
But then he thought about the fact that the eldest brother was sitting in front of him, and the second lady showed an expression of sudden realization.
As for the old lady, she always thinks the best of people.
Zhou Baolu rarely cared about Sang Nianyue, and the old lady was very pleased. I thought that because they lived far away, the resentment and hatred between the two gradually disappeared, but now they became close again.
From this perspective, it would be beneficial for the girl Nian Yue to move out of the house.
The old lady was filled with emotion, but Sang Nianyue was completely indifferent to Zhou Baolu's words.
All her thoughts were now on Shen Tingjun, and she didn't even hear what Zhou Baolu said.
Shen Tingjun has not been seen since New Year's Eve. This time she came to the Hou Mansion, she was fully prepared to meet her. After all, he had made bold remarks before and said he would not let her go.
But she didn't see him when she came to the Hou Mansion. She thought that he was either entertaining guests in the front yard or going out to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and friends, so she immediately relaxed.
But just before she left the house, he came back again.
Sang Nuanyue's heart tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and went back and forth, and she couldn't bear it.
What's more, there is the man's eager gaze.
He didn't focus entirely on her, but whenever she looked out of the corner of her eye, she could always meet his dark eyes.
Sang Nuanyue's heart was in a mess, and her face was so stiff that she couldn't laugh. She spoke absentmindedly, her whole body feeling numb.
Time passed little by little, and finally it was time to leave. Sang Nianyue stood up almost immediately to leave.
Seeing her eagerness, the old lady felt a little disappointed and said, "Nian Yue is alienated from me. This is no longer your home. Nian Yue is in a hurry to go home."
Sang Nuanyue was looked at by Shen Tingjun, and she felt anxious and wanted to cry. She also wanted to respond to the old lady's joke perfectly, but in the end she could only say dryly, "I bought a yard and a new home. You should be happy for me. The Gaomen Courtyard of the Hou Mansion is not my home. I’m afraid that if I live here for a long time, I’ll develop extravagant expectations and won’t want to leave if I live here in the future.”
The old lady immediately said, "Then you can continue to live there. There are many empty courtyards in the Hou Mansion. If you don't like Rose Garden, we can change it to something else."
"But I know how much I weigh. I don't belong here. I should go to where I should be. I can't bring Qing'er down either. He wants to support the Sang family. If he stays here, Living under the shadow of the Marquis, he will never be able to grow up.”
Sang Nianyue said a few more words, "Mrs. Wanwang, take care of yourself" and "I'll come see you when I have time." Then she and the second lady walked to the outer courtyard.
Zhou Baolu followed for a few steps, and finally went back to Tingyuge on the excuse that Rong An was still waiting in the yard.
While walking, Zhou Baolu was still thinking that judging from her cousin's performance today, she probably didn't know that she was being plotted against her.
However, the fact that the two maids were neither alive nor dead was really tormenting her.
However, there should be no hindrance.
After all, one of the two maids was seriously ill and needed her to pay for medical treatment; if she dared to tell her, her brother would also be dead. Another maid had a sister who was sold to the women's branch. She saved her sister, but she had no choice but to sell her life to herself. If she didn't want her sister to be sold into the women's branch again, she wouldn't expose herself.
Those two maids are both stubborn people, and even ten cows can't get them back if they figure things out. She even brought poison to them just in case... They should be dead now, right?
He couldn't be traced from these two maids, but Prince Su... no one dared to trace him.
Therefore, she is safe and no longer has to worry about this matter day and night.
Zhou Baolu walked leisurely to Tingyu Pavilion, waving her handkerchief, wondering if she should take some time out in the past few days to contact Prince Su's Mansion.
*
It was already half an hour later when Shen Tingjun came out of Heyan Hall.
Cheng Yi is with him today.
Shen Tingjun said, "Have you not shown the things you found before to Saburo?"
Cheng Yi nodded, "Do you want me to send a copy to Third Master?"
"Send it over. He can be ignorant of some things for a while, but he can't be ignorant forever."
"Subordinate, go right away."
Cheng Yi quickly disappeared from sight. Shen Tingjun looked in the direction of the third room, his eyes as dark as water.
He waited for many days, not wanting to ruin Sanlang's enthusiasm for the New Year. But some things are not better as long as they are delayed, or better known as late as possible.
I hope my chapter will not be banned, I hope I can publish it.
