White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 6

Wen Ning blinked, covering her emotions.Now that nothing has happened, their marriage fell through, and perhaps Shen Jin's future will change accordingly.

"Second Master Shen." Seeing that Shen Jin had approached, Wen Ning greeted him politely.

Shen Jin was not polite, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, and quickly led her to the corridor.

"Ah Ning, but what did my mother say yesterday that didn't please you, did it irritate you?" When the two came to an empty corner, Shen Jin asked anxiously with red eyes.

Wen Ning had already restrained her emotions, how to tell Shen Jin had already thought about it before.

She pulled out her wrist, took two steps back, distanced herself from Shen Jin, and blessed Fushen again: "Second Master Shen, it's not that Lingtang said something unpleasant, but..."

Wen Ning paused, then lowered her eyebrows and said, "Since hearing that Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen came to discuss marriage a few days ago, Ah Ning has been in a state of uneasiness. After thinking about it, I realized... it turned out that it was because Ah Ning had already made up her mind over the years. The Second Young Master treats her as a relative, just like her own brother. Ah Ning really can't imagine marrying someone like her brother..."

"Second Young Master..." Wen Ning bit her red lips, looking forward to him, "If you put it this way, can you understand?"

Shen Jin joined the army at the age of 15. Compared with other nobles in Beijing, his skin is particularly brown chestnut, but his temperament is still elegant, not like someone who kills on the battlefield.

Hearing Wen Ning's answer, the urgency on his face was gradually replaced by disappointment, his eyes became redder, and he said softly, "Ah Ning, what you said...is it true?"

"Second Young Master, Ah Ning really thinks so." Wen Ning lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry, but I didn't know when I regarded you as my elder brother... so when I heard that we were going to get married, I was a little flustered …What I said to my uncle and aunt yesterday was really rude, and when Ah Ning sees her uncle and aunt in the future, she will definitely apologize in person."

When Shen Jin came here today, he didn't want Wen Ning to apologize.

But what she said was impeccable, no matter how she looked or how she acted, she couldn't tell she was lying.

Besides...

Shen Jin looked at Wen Ning carefully.After listening to what his mother said yesterday, he almost stayed up all night, and he is still in a trance until now.

But Wen Ning looked very good, although it was because of the makeup...

Thinking of this, Shen Jin asked without giving up: "Ah Ning, you put on makeup today, is it because..." You looked haggard after a sleepless night last night?
Before he finished speaking, Wen Ning raised her head and said in surprise: "The second son also noticed it? The day before yesterday, Linglan bought me a box of Qixiangju's rouge, which was very beautiful. I will have a second sister-in-law in the future, and I will give her a few boxes .”

Wen Ning didn't seem to understand what he meant, and she obviously didn't wear makeup to cover up her haggardness.The light that had just ignited in Shen Jin's eyes disappeared again.

yes.He and Wen Ning haven't seen each other for three months. He finished his frontier duty more than a week ago and went home to take a rest. He just urged Shen Gaolan to go to Wen's house to propose marriage.

I thought that the relationship between the two would be different when they met again, but I never thought...

The Wen Ning I saw today was indeed different from before.

In the past, she would blush when talking to him, wishing she could hide behind Linglan, how could she talk about her daughter's family so generously?
But in just three months, did the past friendship disappear with her?
"Ah Ning, do you...do you..."

Shen Jin wanted to ask her if she had any secrets to hide, but he saw Wen Ning patiently waiting for his next words with wide water-colored eyes, as if she was hiding something on her mind that could not be said...

Unable to ask the last sentence, Shen Jin rolled his eyes, and his complexion became even more ashamed.

Wen Ning said with concern and caution: "Second Young Master, it's noon. Eldest brother is preparing a fast meal in the dining hall ahead. Would you like to come with us? Eldest brother must miss you very much."

Shen Jin lowered his head and shook his head: "No..."

"No..." repeated unconsciously, and turned around in despair.

Seeing him dragging his lonely steps farther and farther, Wen Ning put away the innocent expression on his face.

She also felt a little uncomfortable.But whether it's for her benefit or for his benefit, their marriage is impossible.

Wen Ning sighed, so she must do this villain.

After standing in the corridor for a while, Wen Ning restrained her emotions and walked towards the dining hall.

After all this, Shen Jin must have given up.Even if he didn't give up, he knew that Luo Hua had no intention of doing so, and their marriage was impossible.

She thought back on her performance just now, and she was quite satisfied, but she didn't expect that she had a talent for acting.

I was really buried in my previous life.

Wen Ning sighed again, thinking that when this talent is still useful in the future, she needs to practice more.

Wen Ning walked slowly while adjusting her mood.When eating later, she will explain the matter with Shen Jin to Wen Lan again, so this matter will be considered as over.

Wen Ning had been brewing a speech for a while, and she had already arrived at the entrance of the dining hall.

She is no stranger to this Zhaitang.Every year Wen Tingchun comes to Ci'en Temple to chant scriptures and pray for his deceased mother, and eat a fast meal here.Since it is a fasting hall, it is not as exquisite as the restaurants outside. There are private seats and private rooms, and the whole hall is connected, only some round tables of different sizes are placed.

Today is not a special day, there are not many people in the Zhaitang.Wen Ning caught sight of Linglan who was laying bowls in front of a table, and was about to ask about her elder brother, when she heard Wen Lan's joyful voice: "Excuse me, you and I are really destined to meet again here."

Wen Ning's steps of lifting her foot and stepping in suddenly stopped, and the hairs all over her body were about to stand on end like thunder.

Pei You, forgive me.

In her previous life, this person forcibly engraved these five characters into her bones and blood, which made her feel timid and deterred. Not to mention doing it again, even if she did it twice or three times, she would never dare to forget it.
