Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 79 No.80 Five
At three o'clock in Haishi, the rain stopped suddenly, and the night was already dark. Shen Zhan and Yue Yang went out of the city secretly.The captain who led the army was named Qin Xiao, he was older than Shen Zhan, and he was a veteran who had worked with Shen Zheng.

The journey was in a hurry, and everyone hurried towards the farm in the suburbs, but when they arrived, the farm was already pitch black.

Shen Zhan kicked open the old courtyard door. Inside was a dilapidated thatched hut with raindrops still dripping from the eaves, and the courtyard was an unrepaired mud field.

Yue Yang was about to walk in, but was stopped by Shen Zhan.Yue Yang paused, and said in confusion: "My lord, why don't we go in and have a look?"

Shen Zhan glanced down at the dirt in the courtyard, and said, "No need to look, they have already found us."

Yue Yang's eyes widened: "Ah? How did the young master know?"

Shen Zhan glanced at him, and did not answer with a sullen face. It was Qin Xiao who explained: "In order to prevent us from finding any clues, those people even refurbished the soil in this yard."

Hearing this, Yue Yang squatted down to observe carefully, then stood up with a slap on his thigh and said, "These people are so old and cunning, they didn't leave any trace."

Qin Xiao said: "It's not that nothing is left behind. Only those in the army can do it so neatly in a quarter of an hour."

Yue Yang said: "People in the army? But in the early years, in order to prevent chaos on the border, unless a special general was appointed to guard the border, the military power on the border would be in the hands of His Majesty. There has always been no military camp stationed in peace, and the heavy troops are all in the ten. In the second town, Sun Kunqian, as the magistrate of the prefecture, had a private meeting with people in the army here, isn't it just trying to cover up?"

He was supposed to see the bright moon through the fog, but Shen Zhan fell into confusion again. Sun Kunqian had been in office for nearly ten years, and suddenly he showed his feet so quickly, it was more like doing it on purpose.

What is he afraid of?
The sky was turning white, if Ye Lingwu used to be, she would definitely not wake up in the morning after the rain, but today she opened her eyes on time as soon as Mao Shi arrived.

Ye Lingwu sat up and was about to stretch when she found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

This dormitory is spacious and beautifully furnished. The dressing table, flower windows, and screens are all made of ink and wash paintings, arty but unconventional.

Ye Lingwu was shocked, and quickly lifted the quilt to check the clothes on her body, and was relieved to see that she was wearing them intact.

But before she could finish her breath, Ye Lingwu conveniently rolled over and got out of bed, after a brief wash, she opened the door and went out.

After going out, Ye Lingwu found out that this room turned out to be a side room of Shen Zhan's dormitory. Thinking that she had to go back sooner, Ye Lingwu was about to bid farewell to Shen Zhan, only to find out that no one else was in the room, not even the housekeeper. More than half less than last night.

In desperation, Ye Lingwu had no choice but to go back to the old Shen's house alone.

The streets and alleys started to emit cooking smoke, and the steamed stuffed bun shops on the street were shouting loudly. Ye Lingwu wanted to buy two steamed stuffed buns to cushion her stomach, but she didn't have any money with her.

House seemingly endless rain……

Ye Lingwu was disappointed, but she heard a horse's hooves rushing towards her, and there was a slight "squeak" sound from under the wheels, followed by a familiar male voice.

"Ling girl!"

Ye Lingwu looked back and saw Sun Kunqian leaning out half of his body from the carriage, with a navy blue cloak on his body and a wooden hairpin on his head.

"Master Sun?" Ye Lingwu was both surprised and delighted. She liked this prisoner of Yue Zhizhou from the bottom of her heart.

Ye Lingwu walked slowly to the carriage and said, "Master Sun is leaving so early, where are you going?"

Sun Kunqian smiled flatly: "I didn't go out, I just came back from outside the city. Shen's house is on the east side street, which is far away from this street. Did Ling girl not go back to Shen's house last night?"

Ye Lingwu's expression froze, and she suddenly remembered Shen Zhan's identity and his purpose of coming to offend Yue. As a member of Ningbeihoufu, she must not reveal her relationship with him.

After thinking about it, Ye Lingwu could only lie.

But before she opened her mouth, Sun Kunqian seemed to have understood something from her face, and said with a smile: "Get in the carriage first, and I'll take you back."

Ye Lingwu paused, but did not refuse.He hurried forward a few steps and climbed into the carriage in twos and twos. Sun Kungan avoided his body in a gentlemanly manner and let her go in first.

As the magistrate of the Yueyue, and the brother-in-law of the richest man in the Yueyue, Sun Kunqian's car is extremely simple, without any fancy decorations, and there is no case to rely on.

Ye Lingwu was a little girl, and Sun Kunqian also seemed to see her surprise, and said lightly: "This car has been with me for many years, it is a bit simple and old, and I hope Ling girl will not dislike it."

"No, no," Ye Lingwu said hastily, "Master Sun is the official of the parents, so this car should be unobtrusive so that it can be more popular with the people."

"Parent officer?" Sun Kunqian remained silent.

Then he laughed lightly, and said again: "You know how annoying the common people are, you call me a parent official, they will have to refute."

Ye Lingwu was dumbfounded.

She had never understood that Mr. Sun in front of her was handsome and well-spoken. Although his temperament was not amiable, he was very comfortable to get along with. How could such a person be hated by the common people?
Sun Kunqian looked at her in disbelief, and said bluntly: "Things in the world are not black and white, but you and I have only been together for a few days, and you don't have to look at people's appearances. As the saying goes, you know the face but don't know the heart."

Ye Lingwu said blankly: "Master Sun said so, then you...are you not a good official?"

Sun Kunqian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Ye Lingwu didn't understand what he was laughing at, but what she said just now was really too thoughtless, after all, she was still in someone else's carriage, so she might be kicked out of the carriage if she offended her so much.

She collected her expression, bowed her hands solemnly and said, "I made a slip of the tongue just now, I hope Master Sun will forgive me."

Sun Kunqian stopped smiling, and said softly, "Last time, we seemed to have something to say. After girl Ling went to the capital, what do you think of the life in the capital? Is it still stable?"

Ye Lingwu pondered seriously for a while, and then slowly replied: "Life in the capital is not stable. I have no relatives and reasons in the capital, and many things have to be kept in my heart. Fortunately, I live by the old lady's side. You have to walk on eggshells, and there is an old lady to support you."

Sun Kunqian nodded and said: "Old lady Shen is an upright person, but..." He smiled inexplicably, "She can not go back to the moon for decades, so it can be seen that she is not a person who misses the old love deeply, she will take you away In the capital, girl Ling, have you ever thought about why?"

Ye Lingwu was slightly taken aback, feeling displeased.

Life in the capital is not safe, but Mrs. Shen treats her very well, she understands what the people in front of her mean, but Mrs. Shen brought her to the capital except for her mother's sake, maybe she can find something to use from her humble status ?
"I'm just a daughter of a merchant from Yuzhou. Even if Mrs. Shen took me to the capital, even if she didn't really like me, she still missed my late mother." Ye Lingwu said solemnly.

Sun Kun said: "I don't mean to slander Mrs. Shen, it's just... that's all, let's not talk about it." His expression was solemn, and his tone was somewhat melancholy.

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips and said, "Is there something on your mind, Lord Sun?"

Sun Kunqian sighed, smiled reluctantly and said: "There are some things in my heart." He was silent for a moment, "Have you ever heard the story of the former Fudi Nine Generals fighting in Jinglan?"

Ye Lingwu asked doubtfully, "I've never heard of it."

"That would be a pity."

Sun Kun said dryly: "Speaking of which, when you return to the capital, we may never see each other again. If you return to Yuzhou in the future, I hope you can burn incense sticks for your mother for me. . . . Here's a chance." The last sentence was said very lightly, almost inaudible.

"No chance?" Ye Lingwu was puzzled at first, and then suddenly said, "Zaoyue is quite far from Yuzhou, it's okay, when I go back to Yuzhou, I will burn incense sticks for my mother for Mrs. Sun."

Before Sun Kunqian could respond, the carriage stopped shaking suddenly, and the coachman said "Master Sun, the old Shen's house has arrived" from outside.

Ye Lingwu hastily bid farewell to Sun Kunqian. As soon as her feet hit the ground, the coachman drove away. Ye Lingwu looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and when she turned her head again, Shen Ci appeared at the door at some point.

He leaned lazily against the wooden door.

Look closely at the corners of his eyes, where there are black bruises from sleep.

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards the gate of the house without haste. She wanted to turn a blind eye, but Shen Ci's eyes were fixed on her, so she had no choice but to say, "Morning, Second Young Master."

After the greeting, Ye Lingwu took a step forward and was about to walk in. As soon as she took a step, she heard a hoarse voice next to her ear—"If I read it correctly, it is Mrs. Sun's carriage. He got off the carriage, wasn't my cousin at Murong's mansion last night?"

The tone was slack, even with a bit of complaint.

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and replied: "I happened to meet when I came back, and Master Sun sent me back."

Shen Ci frowned: "Then he saw that you came out of Murong's mansion?"

Ye Lingwu hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Probably not."

The conversation between the two was dry, and the atmosphere was inexplicably stiff. Ever since Shen Ci expressed his intentions that night, Ye Lingwu deliberately avoided suspicion, and had not spoken to Shen Ci for several days, and treated him so deliberately that he could no longer deliberately alienate him.

After a moment of silence, Shen Ci suddenly said, "Didn't my cousin ask me why I appeared outside the house so early?"

???

Ye Lingwu was stunned, looked at him blankly and said, "Why is Second Young Master standing here so early?"

Shen Ci frowned and didn't answer.

Ye Lingwu bit her head and asked again: "What's wrong with the second young master's eyes, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I haven't slept all night, do you think it's okay?" Shen Ci laughed helplessly.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

Shen Ci was both angry and funny. Looking at Ye Lingwu's serious questioning expression, he held his breath in his chest and said with restraint: "No reason, I'm not like someone. I still look good after a night. I asked you to embroider the purse." Shen Pan'er is almost finished embroidering, isn't my cousin still doing it?"

"..." The topic changed quickly.

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips, and said weakly: "I don't know how to be a female celebrity, and I can't do it even with a purse."

"If you don't know how to learn, why don't you just let Mother Xuan teach you?" Seeing Ye Lingwu opened her mouth as if to argue, Shen Ci raised her hand and tapped her forehead lightly, "Don't make so many excuses, I'll give you another excuse." Three days, otherwise I will wait for the thorn to plead guilty."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the mansion before Ye Lingwu.
