White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 49

Wen Ning never imagined that someone would be so bored, and put the matter between her and Pei You on the stage with a different gender. This... how long has this play been going on?How many people have seen it?
"Daddy, these people are so boring, hurry up, find someone to drive this troupe away!" Wen Ning was a little incoherent, and there was only one thought in her mind, but don't let Pei You see it...

However, as soon as the words were finished, someone knocked on the door outside the wing room, and the young man opened the door, and saw a man in black bowed outside and said, "I have seen Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen, my son, please tell Miss Wen next door."

Wen Ning: "..."

Just as Wen Tingchun was about to get up, Gu Fei bowed his body even lower: "Master Wen, the eldest son only invited Miss Wen."

Wen Tingchun was hesitating, but Wen Ning had already got up: "Daddy, Ah Ning will come whenever I go."

If she didn't go at this time, with Pei You's stubborn temper, she would have to find trouble with his father, or the eldest and second brothers.

She didn't arrange this play, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Wen Tingchun frowned. It's inappropriate for an unmarried man and a woman to be in the same room, but after all, Pei You is the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, and he has to salute when he sees him, and honorably call him "the eldest son". At this time, he insisted on following , is also incorrect.

Wen Lan and Wen Qi looked at each other, and they knew that the joint between Wen Ning and Pei You was not a day or two, and they were silent.

"Rong Yu, go down and ask about the troupe and the origin of the opera." Wen Tingchun thought about it and said to Wen Lan.

Wen Qi hurriedly put down his teacup: "I'll go too."
-
The next wing, but a few steps away.But within a few steps, Wen Ning had already figured it out.The person who arranged the play is probably the same person who pushed her into the water that day.

She is a lady in the backyard, and she thinks she can't make any enemies. Even if there is, the enemies should wish that her wish fails and she can't marry Pei You, instead of doing everything she can to tie the two of them together.

The one behind the scenes must be Pei Youshu's enemy.

As for who it was, she couldn't guess.After all, he had offended half of the people in the court in his previous life, and there were too many people who disliked him. Who knows who he has offended after only half a year in office.

As soon as Wen Ning entered the wing room, she sensitively smelled a scent of powder that women only have. This fragrance should be of great value.

It turned out that he was meeting a beautiful woman here just now, but after seeing such a play, the beautiful woman left in anger, so he came to her to vent his anger in anger?

"My lord, my little girl doesn't know what's going on with the drama in this teahouse. My lord, you are now the heir of the Duke's mansion. My little girl's reputation has been damaged. My lord must uphold justice for my little girl!" Before arriving in front of Pei You, Wen Ning just knelt down in vain.

Work harder, Wen Ning, with Pei You's temperament, there are already beauties at the party, and in a few months, maybe he will get married!

Anyway, she was a vitriolic, double-faced, useless, useless woman in front of him, without the shining point of half a copper coin.

Pei Youduan sat at the tea table, staring down at her kneeling on the ground, without moving her eyebrows.

Wen Ning continued: "Young master's words that day, my daughter will always remember it, there is no reason to deliberately publicize this matter, and besides, where does my daughter get the money to allow the theater troupe to do these things! My daughter is determined but powerless!"

Pei You picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, but still said nothing.

Wen Ning lowered her head and said in a low voice, "What's more... I heard that Mr. Pei is the best son-in-law in His Majesty's heart. How dare my little girl think about it..."

Pei You leisurely put down the teacup, and looked over with heavy eyes: "Did I say that the following play was arranged by the girl? Why are you so eager to explain?"

Wen Ning: "..."

All right, she's just that stupid, don't expect anything from her.

"Get up." Pei You raised his eyelids and glanced at the empty seat beside him, "Sit."

How easy is it to talk?
Wen Ning got up hesitantly, looked at him "timidly" a few times, and sat down beside him cautiously.

Pei You looked straight over with a pair of black eyes: "Miss Wen, did you really jump into the water in the palace last time?"

Wen Ning's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect Pei You to figure it out so quickly.That day, she followed his words and acquiesced that she took the initiative to dive...

With a sudden change in her heart, Wen Ning had already made a decision, and she immediately knelt down again with a sullen face, grabbed Pei You's clothes and said, "Young master, in fact...actually...the little girl was not timid, but just didn't realize it. Knowing that the son fell into the water, the little girl will definitely jump!"

"So, you didn't dance by yourself?"

"Yes... someone pushed it..." Wen Ning Nuonuo said, "It was too dark and there were many people on the bridge, I... I didn't see who pushed it..."

Pei You's eyes gradually narrowed, revealing a bit of coolness.

Wen Ning raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. Seeing his expression, she knew that he had probably guessed who was behind the scenes.

"But son, you believe me, even if no one pushes me, I will jump. My affection for you..."

Pei You didn't even want to look at her again, and pulled the hem of her clothes out of her hand: "Miss Wen can go back."

It's fine, it's still so ruthless.

Wen Ning still made a gesture of reluctance, slowly got up from the ground, slowly arranged her clothes, walked out slowly, and turned her head slowly once.

But soon, Wen Ning regretted her pretending to be slow at this time. Before she walked out of the room, the noisy teahouse suddenly became noisy, and someone downstairs panicked and shouted: "Let's go, let's go! Run!"
-
The teahouse was full of water, and it was a night when there were so many people. Wen Ning's mind almost immediately jumped out of Jiahe's 18th year in her previous life. It was also winter, and she and Linglan wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave Beijing. Suddenly someone shouted: "Rebels Come on, the rebels are coming! Run!"

In just one breath, the orderly street was in chaos, and a large number of people rushed towards the city gate going south, some with luggage, some dragging children, you pushed and shoved, some ran out, but some fell down Unable to get up, he was trampled to death on the street.

There are so many people in the teahouse, and they are on the second floor.

daddy.

Wen Ning was about to rush out the door, but someone grabbed her wrist suddenly.

"Walk."

Wen Ning looked up, Pei You?Why did he come to pull her?
Seeing him pulling her past her original wing, Wen Ning struggled: "Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei, my father is still in the room."

Pei You turned a deaf ear to her and dragged her straight forward.

The first floor of the teahouse was already in chaos. The fire seemed to start from the kitchen. Because of winter, both the first and second floors were lit with earth dragons. Once a fire broke out, it would spread rapidly.

The stairs downstairs were crowded with people and impassable, and some wings on the second floor were also on fire.

Wen Ning was dragged away from the stairs by Pei You and returned to the corridor.

The backyard of the tea house is a garden with no flowers in winter, covered with white snow, not yet lit, and can be left directly.But to get to the garden, you have to jump down from the second floor...

"Mr. Pei!" Wen Ning's hand was pulled tightly by Pei You. No matter how hard she struggled, she didn't relax at all. She almost wanted to drink him by name.

But when she glanced sideways, she saw his complexion was white, and the look in his eyes was the panic she had never seen in her previous life. No matter what she said, he seemed to be unable to hear him, so he just dragged her tightly and stopped at a corner of the corridor.

"My lord, I'll take you down." Gu Fei has been following behind, he knows martial arts, and it's not a problem to lead them to jump from here one by one.

But as soon as he got close, Pei You pulled Wen Ning behind him and looked at him defensively.

Gu Fei was stunned.He knew that he was a person cultivated by the Duke's mansion, and the eldest son returned half a year ago, but he did not trust him wholeheartedly.But it was the first time that such a straightforward expression of defense was written on the face.

Wen Ning was also stunned, why did Pei You act like she was her own?

The next moment, Pei You held Wen Ning's waist, kicked lightly on the railing, and jumped down.

The cool wind blew across her cheeks, Wen Ning had just landed, and was dragged forward by Pei You, Gu Fei was left behind by them.

When he was away from the teahouse and the fire, Pei You suddenly stopped.

The noise of the teahouse was almost inaudible. There were officers and soldiers rushing to the scene on Chang'an Avenue. Pei You stopped at the entrance of an alley. There was a lot of unmelted snow in the alley. cold.

Wen Ning didn't know how she kept up with his footsteps, she was a little out of breath.Fortunately, the boots I wore today, otherwise the shoes would have fallen on the street.

Pei You stopped, as if the mist had dissipated in his eyes, and gradually became clearer.He looked at Wen Ning beside him inexplicably, then turned his head, looked at the teahouse with fire in the distance, then lowered his head, and saw his left hand clasping Wen Ning's wrist.

Frowning lightly, he immediately let go.

Wen Ning's hand was pinched to the point of breaking, and when he let go, she let out a "hiss".

"Sorry." Pei You turned her face away, her voice hoarse.

Wen Ning rubbed her wrist and looked at Pei You in confusion.

His face is no longer pale, and his eyes are calm again. This is the expression she is familiar with, the expression that Pei You should have in this life.

But he seemed to have just come back to his senses. When he looked at her and then at the teahouse just now, a very inconspicuous daze flashed in his eyes, but Wen Ning was too familiar with him to catch it easily.

That daze gave her an illusion.

Pei You seemed to... didn't know what he just did?
