Early the next morning, before the stray dogs even got up, news came from Kangjun Prince's Mansion that Bai Zijue had been brutally murdered.
The man was disemboweled and his entrails were spilled all over the floor.
His eyes were gouged out and crushed flat, and even his limbs were bent into strange angles.
It is said that the first person to discover the body was a maid, who was so frightened that she is still in a daze and cannot even speak a single word.
Bai Zijue was usually domineering and had many enemies. Even his own mother could not imagine who would kill her son so cruelly.
The news spread all the way to the princess mansion, but Wen Yuan was still dreaming at this time.
Shen Huaiyan was already awake, but he was still reluctant to leave. He held Wen Yuan in his arms with his naked upper body, and played with a strand of her black hair with gentle movements.
There was no expression on the man's face, and there was no emotion in his eyes, but when he lowered his head and looked at Wen Yuan, he showed a greedy smile that was still full of meaning.
By the time the beautiful lady in her arms woke up, it was already time for lunch.
Wen Yuan didn't realize at this moment that he was naked.
She originally wanted to hug the man next to her and act coquettishly, but instead she aroused some unknown fire in the man.
"Princess, why do you look so tired? Did you not sleep well last night?" Chunhua put away the face wash with rose juice and looked at Wen Yuan with a worried look.
It was okay if I didn't ask, but when I asked, Wen Yuan blushed so much that she wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
She covered her face with a handkerchief, tried her best to calm herself down, and whispered: "Master Shen will be coming over later. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks that he likes. By the way, the Qingfeng fruit I bought last time." ,Has it be done?"
"I have made preserves according to the princess's instructions."
"Then we'll serve it all together when the time comes. He likes to eat it."
Chunhua felt that her young lady was different. In the past, she would not be so considerate of others.
After all the maids around him left, Wen Yuan could relax and lie down on the stone table in the courtyard.
I thought to myself that even though both Shen Huaiyan and I had the approval of our parents, it was a bit too unfair to be so secretive. It was too unfair to me and him.
When I was feeling uneasy, someone from outside announced, "Princess! Master Wufeng is back from his study tour!"
Last time, Ling Wufeng only stayed in Dingnan Prince's Mansion for three days and then hurried back to the mountain. I think he should be able to stay longer this time.
"Really?!" Wen Yuan jumped up from the stone bench when he heard the word "no wind".
Without saying a word, he went out and nearly bumped into the person who was walking through the door because he was walking too fast.
Fortunately, the man supported Wen Yuan so that she wouldn't fall into pieces at the door. "I reminded you not to be reckless last time, why don't you remember it now?"
"It's really too much to scold A Yuan as soon as my cousin comes back." Wen Yuan pouted and pretended to be angry, but he quickly lost his temper, "How long can my cousin stay in the capital this time?"
Although Ling Wufeng is seven years older than Wen Yuan, time has not left any traces on his face.
And he has loved his sister Wen Yuan very much since he was a child. Ten years have passed, and his love for her has not diminished at all. "I can stay for a long time... at least, I can stay until the end of the New Year."
He was still stroking his sister's fragrant and soft hair as gently as before, but... there was an unfamiliar smell in this fragrance.
Ling Wufeng frowned imperceptibly, then quickly relaxed again, letting Wen Yuan hold his hand and walk inside.
It stands to reason that when he finally came back, he should first visit his aunt and uncle who had been taking care of him, but when he arrived in the capital, his feet just refused to obey him, so he walked to the princess's mansion first.
Seeing Wen Yuan still holding his hand as lively and playful as before, Ling Wufeng felt soft in his heart.
But as soon as he entered the yard, Ling Wufeng felt something was wrong. The strange fragrance that had been on his sister just now was even worse here. He concluded that this was not a human fragrance.
While Wen Yuan went to the kitchen to prepare delicious food, Ling Wufeng called Chunhua to inquire about the affairs of the princess's house, "Chunhua, you have been following the lady since you were a child. Tell me, has there been any strange guy in the house these days? ?”
Chunhua shook her head without even thinking, "No, young master, you also know that the young lady doesn't like to go out, let alone make new friends. Since we came back from Feihua City, there have been no strange people in the house."
She thought for a moment and decided to tell Ling Wufeng about Shen Huaiyan and the young lady, "It's true that the young lady's sweetheart, Mr. Huaiyan, comes here often."
Ling Wufeng was stunned when he heard the news. His sister actually...had a sweetheart?
Then he...
That’s all.
The man calmed down his mood, collected his thoughts and then asked: "Who is that young master? Is his wealth innocent?"
"Both the master and the madam have met, and have tacitly approved that Mr. Huaiyan is with the young lady. He is not a suspicious person." Chunhua's words made Ling Wufeng feel relieved, but he still wanted to meet the young master in person.
To ensure that his sister will not wrong him for him in the future.
"Master Huaiyan will come to have dinner with the young lady in the afternoon, and you can just observe, young master." After saying this, Ling Wufeng asked Chunhua to leave first, and told her not to let Wen Yuan know about their conversation today.
When Wen Yuan came back, he brought a lot of Ling Wufeng's favorite snacks and specially made a pot of tea that he used to drink.
Ling Wufeng smelled the fragrance of tea from a distance, stood up and took the thing in her hand, "Yuanyuan still remembers the tea I like to drink. This kind of thing can be left to the servants, why do you have to do it yourself?" Bring it to me."
"It's okay. I'll make tea and prepare snacks for my brother. My sister will be happy."
It can be seen that Wen Yuan is indeed very happy. She would never do this to a close friend.
The two chatted for a long time. Wen Yuan had loved hearing Ling Wufeng tell her stories since she was a child. Now that he had returned from traveling across thousands of mountains and rivers, he naturally had many novel things to tell her.
"Miss, Mr. Huaiyan is here." Qiuyue was not as calm as Chunhua, and it could be seen that she seemed to have a different kind of affection for Shen Huaiyan.
Wen Yuan, who saw through it but didn't point it out, asked her to go to the kitchen to prepare, and asked Chunhua to bring Shen Huaiyan in.
Shen Huaiyan, who was still smiling at first, immediately became gloomy when he saw the man sitting opposite Wen Yuan, and he could vaguely see the dark clouds behind him.
Wen Yuan now also understood the meaning of many of his expressions. Seeing him being jealous, she felt funny at first, but then quickly started to coax her, "Huaiyan, this is my cousin Ling Wufeng. He has been studying abroad and finally came back. .”
With her words, Shen Huaiyan let go of his guard and his expression became kind, "Mr. Ling."
He took the initiative to salute Ling Wufeng, putting aside all his pride as a great demon, just because Ling Wufeng was a family member Wen Yuan cared about.
But Ling Wufeng's expression wasn't very good either. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at her for a while before standing up and returning the greeting.
This made Wen Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, but thinking that his brother might be afraid that he would be bullied, he laughed it off.
Taking Shen Huaiyan's hand and sitting down at the stone table, Wen Yuan introduced him, "Brother, I met Huaiyan in Feihua City. He is...very good, so brother, you can rest assured."
Is it really good?
Ling Wufeng's expression had always been bad, but in order to prevent Wen Yuan from seeing the flaw, he calmed down as much as possible.
"It's time for me to visit my uncle and aunt. My brother can't accompany you today. When I settle down in the capital, I'll come back to accompany you, okay?"
Wen Yuan was so confused that he unconsciously grabbed his brother's hand as he did when he was a child, "Okay, let's have dinner together later?"
"Well, we will still see each other as often as we did when we were children."
The warm and thick hand stayed on Wen Yuan's head for a while. It wasn't until Ling Wufeng went out that she remembered Shen Huaiyan who had been left aside for a long time.
At this time, Shen Huaiyan was already suspicious of Hu Sheng, why the two of them were cousins, but they seemed so close, and Yuanyuan smiled just now! He has never seen it!
He said he didn't care, and his expression said it didn't matter, but Shen Huaiyan felt unconfident in his heart...
He was a childhood sweetheart, but he was just a fox demon monk who came up halfway.
This gap is too big, how can it be compared?
The pair of fox ears on his head appeared at some point, but now they have drooped down. The whole person looks pitiful and in great need of a warm hug.
"You all go down, I'll have a few words with Mr. Huaiyan." Looking around, luckily no one noticed his ears, Wen Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
After dismissing the surrounding maids and secret guards, Wen Yuan made sure that no one was around and took the initiative to hug Shen Huaiyan, who was sitting on the stone bench.
The man also cooperated by wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his head tightly in Wen Yuan's waist.
Because she was standing, Wen Yuan could easily touch Shen Huaiyan's head. She comforted the suspicious fox with a soft and soothing voice, "Are you really the confident and romantic Shen Huaiyan?"
"Anyway, I'm just a suspicious and awkward stinky fox!" Shen Huaiyan hugged him a little tighter like a spoiled child, and also revealed his lack of confidence, "You are childhood sweethearts... How can I compare? Worth it..."
Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan actually let go of his arms and squatted down, obediently lying on the man's knees. The moment she raised her face, Shen Huaiyan lost consciousness, "But we are lovers."
As expected, Wen Yuan knew how to coax the awkward Shen Huaiyan best. As soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled hard and sat in the man's arms.
Before Wen Yuan could speak, Shen Huaiyan kissed her on the mouth.
The increasingly domineering and passionate kiss made Wen Yuan a little unable to resist. She thought that Shen Huaiyan loosened her arms to let him go.
But I never thought that the man wanted to change places and continue kissing.
Two fingers away from the left collarbone, Shen Huaiyan sucked out another dark red mark, "You are mine." You will be mine forever.
Just like you before, you only belong to me.
