Chapter 75

This garden is secluded, far away from the ladies' seats, but next to the lively hall.Ye Lingwu sat on a rock on a small slope, and there was a small stream underneath. Looking from the top, she could vaguely see the bustling scene of the hall.

To say that this Wang family is really low-key in the capital city is really low-key. Look at this Yueyue mansion, there are mountains and waters. Although they are all fake, they are enough to prove the taste of the Sun family.

As the night was getting dark, Ye Lingwu seized the time to go back to the table, just stood up, but saw a group of people walking eagerly on the long bridge from the hall to the garden.

Ye Lingwu, the son-in-law of the Sun family who was the leader, recognized it and had just seen it.

Light and dark are opposite, although Ye Lingwu is standing high but in the dark, people on the long bridge can't find it unless they look closely.

"Idiots! What do I want you for? I can't keep the West Courtyard! Hurry up and check it out, and surround the West Courtyard!" Lu Xu'an yelled, knowing that he was in a rage without looking at his face. among.

Seeing the people getting closer, Ye Lingwu hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard lightly, holding up her skirt, in order to avoid hearing anything she shouldn't have heard.

I don't know when, there were servants and guards coming and going on the corridor. Ye Lingwu was suspicious, but she heard the hurried footsteps all around, and the atmosphere in the house became quite strange.

- "Who's there!?"

Ye Lingwu's heart was already hanging, when someone spoke from behind her, she was really startled, when she regained her composure, she turned around and saw three servants walking towards her with serious faces.

After several people saw that it was a girl, their tense faces relaxed: "Why is the girl here? The female seats are in front."

Ye Lingwu nodded her head and said anxiously: "Just now, I drank too much wine at the banquet, and my body was dizzy. I wanted to come out to get some air, but I came here before I knew it."

"So that's the case, that girl should go back to the table early, the west courtyard has been sealed, no one is allowed to enter." The man didn't have any doubts, and he led the other two people away after speaking.

Ye Lingwu looked at the direction in which several people left, and then looked at the long corridor leading to the west courtyard, which was guarded by more than a dozen servants at the moment—it was impenetrable, it seemed that the Sun family was in trouble.

But this thief is too unlucky, the Sun family's trick is to catch a turtle in a urn, unless you have wings today, you won't be able to escape~
The originally secluded garden was noisy now, only the path back to the inner courtyard was a bit deserted. Ye Lingwu walked through the path and was about to step onto the promenade when a gust of wind passed over his head suddenly, and the leaves fluttered with a swipe.

Ye Lingwu shrank her shoulders, calmed down for a moment, looked up suddenly, and saw nothing but a crescent moon hanging on the tree. Just as she was about to let go of the hanging heart, a darkness suddenly pressed in front of her. Ye Lingwu Looking back, a broad chest is close at hand.

A desolate and murderous air rushed over.

Ye Lingwu's face froze, and when she looked up, she saw a very bright and elegant face.

"Hou... Lord Hou?" Ye Lingwu's almond eyes widened.

Shen Zhan made a hissing gesture to her, then pulled her up the corridor gently, and hid in the recessed place at the corner of the corridor. This secret place can accommodate more than four people, but it is definitely not for a long time. count.

Tonight's Shen Zhan is still wearing black clothes, but unlike Xun Ri, tonight's black clothes are black without any color embellishment, almost melting into the darkness.

Ye Lingwu's whole body was stiff, and she watched helplessly as the man's white and slender hand held her wrist and hid in this place. The tip of her nose was full of the breath of a mature man. Great mastery.

Ye Lingwu stared at him fixedly, and probably guessed who the servants had made a big fuss about tonight, and it would be the best policy to break away from the relationship as soon as possible.

"Master Hou, the women's table is not over yet, I have to go back." Ye Lingwu pretended to be ignorant, and carefully broke free from the wrist held in Shen Zhan's big palm.

"Don't move." Shen Zhan's deep and hoarse voice sounded.

Ye Lingwu froze and didn't dare to move.

After a while, Ye Lingwu felt the scorching heat on the top of her head, but she didn't dare to raise her head, and asked in a low voice, "Is the family member of the Sun family looking for Lord Hou?"

"Yes." Shen Zhan replied in a deep voice.

The girl's tender cheeks were flushed with warmth, and her expression went from being confused at the beginning to being stunned, and finally to the slyness in her eyes after her brows were tightly furrowed.

I really didn't hide my thoughts at all.

Shen Zhan saw her little thoughts in his eyes, and knew that the little girl in front of him was thinking about how to avoid risks.

Originally, he didn't want to involve her, but he felt depressed, so he irrationally dragged the girl in front of him into the whirlpool.

Since that night, the back of her leaving with Shen Ci has never been in his mind.

In fact, people like him who have practiced martial arts since childhood, killed all sides on the battlefield as teenagers, and wandered in court as adults know the words "restraint and self-discipline" best.

But after meeting the girl in front of him, his restraint became exclusive to her, especially when she revealed that she didn't really care about his safety, that anger accumulated in his heart, just waiting for a threshold to explode.

Shen Zhan didn't know why he cared so much about her.

Maybe it's on the building boat, watching her wit that is different from girls of the same age; maybe it's on the high platform, watching her look like she is facing the moon with an arrow; maybe it's outside the racecourse, hearing her cry pretentiously; or maybe it's Her character, she is dark and bright, calculating and unsophisticated.

Ye Lingwu looked at Shen Zhan's eyes and felt scared at the moment. She always felt that she was like a prey, being watched by jackals lurking in the dark. At this moment, she was neither up nor down, and the atmosphere was weird. , I didn’t know what to do for a while.

At this moment, there was the sound of approaching footsteps.

Ye Lingwu made more and more movements to break free from the big palm, repeated to no avail, and compromised: "I will help you."

Shen Zhan's eyes were darker than the night: "How can I help?"

The footsteps were getting closer, Ye Lingwu's heart was in a mess, but her head was clear, and she replied: "You wait for me here, and I will tell you when I come back."

Shen Zhan was silent for a moment, then let go of the hand holding Ye Lingwu, and said "OK" lightly.

Ye Lingwu stiffly walked out of the corner of the corridor, just in time to meet two servants, and the footsteps just now belonged to them.

"Girl, what are you doing here?" one of them asked.

Ye Lingwu stabilized her pace, and said unhurriedly: "I just got a little drunk from the wine at the banquet, so I went out for a walk, and I'm about to go back."

"Then girl, go back quickly. Mrs. Sun is distributing embroidered bags at the moment, and you go to enjoy the joy." Seeing that it was a girl, the servant didn't think much about it.

"Yes, thank you two brothers for reminding me." Ye Lingwu blessed the two of them, and left in a hurry. When no one saw, she quickly lifted her skirt and ran as hard as possible, as if there was a monster chasing after her.

I don't know how long it took before I finally returned to the bustling women's seats. The room was brightly lit and the red lanterns were hung high. It was completely different from the darkness just now, and Ye Lingwu almost didn't get used to it.

Ye Lingwu turned her gaze to the banquet, and saw Shen Pan'er talking with a few girls in loose gowns, while Shen Yue'er was sitting alone holding a tea bowl.

Sun Xinran in the seat still had a bad expression on her face, ignoring anyone who spoke, as if someone owed her.

Several female envoys were standing in the corner taking care of the banquet, Ye Lingwu moved over lightly, pulled one of the envoys over and said, "Sister, I have a stomachache, can you take me to change clothes?"

The female envoy frowned blankly at first, then saw Ye Lingwu covering her stomach, and finally said, "Okay, girl, come with me."
