White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 18

At the same time, the palace was extremely quiet.

Wang Fu received Linglan's letterhead and kept it by himself as usual, without telling Wang You.But he knew very well that his son had sharp eyes and ears and a quick mind, so he intercepted his letter because he felt a little guilty, so he didn't look for him these few days, so as not to show his flaws in front of him.

As for Wang Qinsheng, he was asked by Wang Fu to "recuperate" in his room for some reason, and he did not leave his room for a few days.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang, who has been bedridden, has been in good spirits for the past few days, and personally boiled soup for Wang You several times.

During the vernal equinox, when unitary hour arrives, the sky becomes dark.A solitary lamp was lit in the courtyard of the king's residence, making it even more quiet at the moment.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, a slender figure came out over the wall, and when it landed, it made a very soft sound, and was quickly buried in the dust.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Wang You bowed and bowed, still in a loose green shirt, and his voice sounded like falling jade.

In a dark corner, a man in black hides, bowing in return: "Young master, you are welcome."

"How?" Wang You asked in a low voice.

The man in black clasped his hands and said: "Nothing unusual. It's just that the palace examination will be in three days, and the master is worried that someone will mistreat you, so he specially ordered Bai Bai to come and take care of him."

Wang You bowed again: "Thank you sir for me."

"My lord, you don't have to be so polite." Tu Bai was only a boy of seventeen or eighteen, his stature was slightly smaller than Wang You's, but his facial features were extremely sharp, and there were obvious scars on his outstretched hands.

He supported Wang You's arm, and said in a low voice: "Tu Bai has been here for three days, and there are some situations that need to be reported to the young master."

Wang You narrowed his eyes slightly: "Please tell me."

Then Tu Bai talked about the "abnormal situation" that he had noticed in the past few days.

For example, a little girl came to deliver letters every day, but Wang Fu seemed to dislike his arrival very much.Every time I opened the door, I was sneaky for fear of being discovered.And every time I received a letter, I hurriedly put it away, and went back to my room like a thief.

For example, in the past few days, people have been throwing stones into the yard, and even tried to climb over the wall, but he secretly stopped them.He also investigated that group clearly, it was Qin Yu, the nephew of Qin Shangshu.

"Young master, if there is anything that needs to be done in vain, just tell me." At the end of the sentence, vain cupped his hands.

That day at Yun Ting Lou, Qin Yu didn't take advantage of it, but was beaten by Wang Qinsheng with several fists.

But the little girl who came to deliver the letter?

Wang You lowered his eyes slightly, his mind turned around, he had already guessed who it was, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tired came to take care of me, it's been hard work, so I won't bother you with trivial matters, just let him go."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "boom", followed by a cursing voice: "Damn it! I don't believe it, I can't get over it!"

Tu Bai knew who it was just by hearing the voice, and he was about to go over as soon as he frowned, but was stopped by Wang You.

"Let me come in person." Wang You's voice was still gentle, but when he raised his eyes to look at the voice, his eyes were not as warm as usual, but dull, as if he was looking at a dead thing.

Qin Yu came here for several days in a row. At first he wanted to lure the people in the yard out, but he didn't think that the people in the yard would respond no matter how much he threw stones. Later, he thought about turning over the yard and going in.

That day he didn't touch a single hair of Wang You, but was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, and was scolded by his father when he returned home.

It's useless to be human!

But even after two days of turning over, the courtyard looked low, and it was impossible to turn it over.

He specially called a few more people to come today.

Four real tricks, plus five people with him, he can't believe that they can't overcome this courtyard wall!

But just as he climbed up the courtyard wall, he felt pain in the acupoints under his armpit, and his whole arm was numb.Then came the other arm, left knee, right knee, so numb that he was lying on the person below...

Then there was a sound from the depths of the dark alley.

"Follow me!" Qin Yu shouted, pointing in the direction of the sound.

He knew that something so strange must be caused by someone!

Wait for him to catch the person who dares to spoil his good deeds, and make him look good!

But he didn't want to follow the sound, and chased him to a blind spot where he couldn't see his fingers. The four guards running in front of him didn't know where they went, and there was a dead silence around him.

He felt something was wrong and stepped back, before reaching the light, he felt a dull pain in his head.

Before losing consciousness, only one pair of eyes was seen.

Widowed, ruthless, with a seductive dark glow, like a beast that has been dormant for a long time.

"Find a son-in-law under the list?" Even though he knew that Wen Ning's begging for him would not be a trivial matter, Wen Qi couldn't stop the surprise on his face when he heard these four words.

"That's right!" Wen Ning ignored Linglan's broken teapot, leaned close to Wen Qi and hugged his arm, and said softly, "Didn't elder brother say that it's easy to catch a son-in-law under the list? Then...then we Get ready, on the day when the rankings are announced, no matter how good his grades are, just capture him... bring him back and marry me!"

Wen Qi looked at his younger sister without a word.

Is this really the well-behaved Wen Ning?Could it be that his brain was stimulated by retiring the engagement with Shen Jin?
He glanced at Linglan, and Linglan replied with a "That's it, there's no way" expression.

"Second brother, I know this is a bit out of line." Wen Ning continued to tug at his sleeves, "But Ah Ning was like this when she was a child, wasn't she?"

Wen Ning tilted her head, her eyes were dark and bright.

Wen Qi was slightly taken aback.

That's right.

The 15-year-old Wen Ning abides by female virtues, is gentle and generous, and can be regarded as a model for many ladies.

But both he and Wen Lan knew that Ah Ning was not like this.

Before the age of ten, Ah Ning was lively and clever, fearless of the sky and the earth, followed them to dig out the bird's nest and drill the dog's hole, but she didn't know what "Women's Commandments" and "Women's Training" were.

It's just that since she was caught by Wen Tingchun once, and he hired a husband just for her, that mischievous Ning gradually disappeared.Sometimes when he drank with Wen Lan, he would sigh aloud, wondering what method the gentleman his father hired used to make Wen Ning change so much.

"Second brother." Wen Ning shook his arm, "It's rare for Ah Ning to meet such a man who suits her heart, and she wants to be free again, isn't it good?"

Wen Qi's heart has been shaken to nine points.

If Ah Ning really admires that man to such an extent... grab it and grab it!Can I have bibimbap or wine if I want face?Only the old man cared about such useless things.

"Second brother, haven't you always wanted to do business?" Wen Ning used her final trump card, "What do you think this is?"

She took out a stack of bank notes that she had exchanged earlier from the armhole, and smiled in front of Wen Qi's eyes.

Wen Qi looked at the stack of banknotes, not surprised, but frowned: "Ah Ning, where did you get so much money?"

While speaking, he glanced at Linglan.

Linglan would like to say, those are all girls' jewelry!But Wen Ning also glanced at her at the same time.

She swallowed the words that had just come to her lips, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.

"Don't worry about where I got so much money." Wen Ning took back the bank note again, "Anyway, if you don't help me, I'll use the money to hire someone to help me."

Wen Qi sighed helplessly, knowing that his sister was not easy to deal with, and said sternly: "A Ning, the second brother only asks you, are you really that optimistic about the scholar named Wang You?"

Wen Ning secretly grabbed the sachet by her side and nodded firmly.

"That's right! Second brother will help you!"

"Then... when the time comes, Dad..."

Wen Qi flicked her forehead, and looked at her leisurely: "You came to look for second brother, don't you just know that second brother is not afraid of him?"
