White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 82 How about marrying me then? (two)

Wen Ning suspected that she had heard wrong.

A pair of tearful eyes just stared at Pei You in a daze, staring into his eyes blankly.

His eyes were still filled with the familiar darkness, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

But it's not right.

where is wrong.

Since she was reborn, except for the first time when she was so nervous that she couldn't control herself, Wen Ning always looked into these eyes, although she could not see the bottom, but based on her years of being by his side and her deep understanding of him, she could always guess. Find out what he is thinking at the moment, and what reaction he may have when he solves it.

To put it simply, her extra life allowed her to hold him for the time being.

But now...

From his expression to his tone, Pei You seemed to be telling her that he was going to get out of control.

Wen Ning tried her best to remain calm, holding the sachet by her hands, she only looked at Pei You and blinked.

Pei You still held her face up, the distance was so close that she couldn't help but want to shrink back, but was held back by the strength of his hands, she could only stay so close under his eyelids, and he could see every trace of expression.

He squinted his eyes: "Why, you said it so beautifully just now, but now you don't want to?"

Wen Ning finally found her breath, took a long breath silently, leaned back, so that she would no longer be restrained by Pei You's palm, lowered her body and lowered her head, and said sadly, "Where is Mr. Pei... My little girl dare not think about it, Mr. Pei and Princess Zhaohe are both talented and beautiful, a perfect match, how dare I..."

"Who told you that I would marry Princess Zhaohe?" Pei You had already leaned back to the tea table, looking down at her condescendingly.

"Folk rumors..."

"It's also rumored among the people that Miss Wen is infatuated with her, but I don't think it's true?"

"A little girl can learn from the sky to adults, the sun and the moon can show..."

"Then go back and tidy up, and prepare to enter the Duke's mansion."

Wen Ning: "..."

She didn't know which muscle of Pei You was wrong, but it is not appropriate to get entangled in this place.

Wen Ning got up from the ground and acted less exaggeratedly. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears softly, and said with a blessing, "My lord, although the little girl is delusional about you, but the marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Today Yan The son of the family has already come to propose marriage, the young girl and the adult... I am afraid there is no fate. The Lord Wanwang will find the one he loves as soon as possible and marry a beautiful woman. The little girl will resign."

Pei You didn't know what the wind was, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

After Wen Ning said this, she turned around and left.

But when he reached the door of the room, Pei You hadn't stepped out of his foot yet, and Pei You laughed lowly: "Wen Ning, do you think you can get out?"

There was a sudden buzzing in Wen Ning's ears, and the words he had said to her in the previous life sounded inexplicably - "A Ning, do you think you can leave as soon as you want to enter this house?"

She turned around suddenly, her chest heaved up and down, and she took a few deep breaths before she finally calmed down.

Calm down, Wen Ning.

Pei You is a little abnormal today, but it is absolutely impossible to know all her hole cards, and she must not get confused and expose herself.

She took a few deep breaths, her voice became much calmer, and she deliberately softened her tone: "My lord, what do you mean?"

The low couch is set up next to the window, and the Chang'an Street is obviously becoming more and more lively, but the windows are not open, the sound of those people coming and going is blocked out, only the sound of gurgling tea is close to the ear.

It was a sunny day, and the low couch was covered with rhombus windows, casting Pei You's shadow slantingly.

He was still leaning on the low couch, the sunlight couldn't come in, let alone fall into his eyes.

Lifting his eyes slightly, he looked at Wen Ning.

The coolness in her eyes made Wen Ning's heart beat a little faster.

But he moved his eyes away again, pushed open the window that had been closed all the time, and the sunlight and anger outside rushed in instantly.

He glanced outside seemingly casually, then picked up the tea that had been brewed a long time ago, and poured it into a teacup.

"Miss Wen is very clever and exquisite. It's really surprising that Fushengzui manages it so well."

Wen Ning clenched her pink fist, then let it go.

Fu Shengzui was found out by him, but it didn't matter, Dayin didn't stipulate that the children of officials were not allowed to engage in business.

Pei You continued: "In order to open this wine shop, Miss Wen became a private person for 500 people, and even went to and from underground gambling houses. Her courage is admirable."

The casino actually asked him to find out.

Wen Ning clenched her fist again and let it go.

It's all right, it's my brother's wish to open a wine shop. In order to surprise him, she acted a little out of the ordinary and was just a little bit more daring, which made sense.

"There are a few things about such an exquisite and courageous girl, but I can't figure it out." Pei You put the teapot on the stove, and there was another gurgling sound. He looked sideways, "Wen You might as well sit down, girl, I have a few questions I want to ask for advice."

Wen Ning glanced at the person sitting across from him.

She doesn't want to go there.

Being so close, and the sun so bright, she has a lot of small things in her heart, but if she has any thoughts, don't even think about escaping Pei You's eyes.

"If you have anything to say, just ask." Wen Ning bent her knees and continued to speak softly.

Pei You stared at the person who was sticking close to the threshold. He was very small, but his thoughts were boundless.

He twitched the corners of his lips and got off the low couch.

He was already tall, but the slanting sunlight pulled his figure, making him look taller and taller, and the sunlight behind him even encrusted a layer of gold on his outline.

"Then I won't be polite." With his hands behind his back, he completely blocked the sun from the window, which made his complexion a bit blurred, and only his voice that was neither salty nor weak came clearly to Wen Ning's ears.

"Miss Wen still had the leisure to go to the gambling shop to get money on the day the list was released, so it can be seen that she has no intention of catching her husband. Since she has no intention of catching her son-in-law, why did she do it?"

He even found out the money she withdrew that day!

"Miss Wen and the maids around her are like sisters. They never beat or scold for no reason. Why did you deliberately slap her mouth to show me when you were in Yuntinglou?"

Without giving Wen Ning time to think, Pei You stepped forward step by step, walking slowly, and asked questions slowly.

"When we met in Yichun Garden that day, Miss Wen didn't go there just to be here. Why did you disguise yourself as a man and go in and out of Goulan? And why did you pretend to appeal after you met me?"

"You obviously didn't want the dust-cleaning feast in April by the Tai'an Lake, so why did you write a letter saying, 'One kiss will be enough for the rest of your life'?" "

"So I also thought of this year's New Year's Eve banquet. I misunderstood something, so you pushed the boat along and admitted that you chased me and jumped into the lake."

"Why?"

Every "why" and every "why" of his sounded in Wen Ning's ears like a thunderbolt.

He actually knew!
He actually knew it all!
How did he know?When did you know? !

So much so that when he walked up to her step by step, she almost didn't react, her mind was smashed to pieces by his questions, she was almost powerless to think, or rather, she didn't know where to think.

She just stared at Pei You blankly, and when his face got closer and closer, she finally saw his eyes clearly.

In a mass of blackness as impenetrable as a thick cloud, a cluster of flames flickered extremely secretly.

Flames of fury.

"Wen Ning." He squeezed her chin with two fingers, leaned down, and the cluster of flames fell heavily on her face, "You're kidding me."

There was a rumbling sound in Wen Ning's ear——

It’s over.

She wanted to run subconsciously, Pei You was burning with anger, she had suffered too much at his hands in her previous life.

She is afraid.

Wen Ning lifted her foot and was about to step back, but she was right on the threshold, her foot was raised neither high nor low, she didn't step over, but tripped over.

When the whole person leaned back, his waist tightened, and Pei You pulled him back, and with a "boom", he just fell into his arms.

In such an intimate posture, both of them froze.

But in just one breath, Pei You took a step back and let her go first. The flames in her eyes were scattered by this accident, replaced by slightly frowning brows, and she glanced at Wen Ning with a little distance.

This also made Wen Ning suddenly come back to his senses.

This life, not the previous life.

The current Pei You is not the Pei You of the previous life.

It was not easy for him to get close to others, and he had never touched any of the concubines in the backyard.

Even if he finds out now, she is just a strange woman who played tricks on him.No matter how angry he was, he would never do to her what he did in his previous life.

This awareness finally allowed Wen Ning's brain to function.

He has found out the matter so clearly, it is pointless to deny it, and she has no way to deny it.

Then... to give those things a reasonable excuse.

"My lord...how did you know these things, my lord." Wen Ning lowered her head timidly, and said in a low voice.

Pei You's eyes were still on the top of her head, she couldn't see her, so she couldn't tell her emotions, she just heard him sneer: "Recognize?"

Wen Ning immediately knelt down.

"My lord, Ah Ning is also helpless." In the blink of an eye, Wen Ning had already thought up her words, "At that time, Ah Ning and the second son of the Shen family divorced, but the second son actually didn't want to. In order to break his mind, Ah Ning So I had no choice but to...pretend to have a deep-rooted affection for the adults, and worry...worried about attracting the attention of the adults, so I deliberately did some things that the adults would not like."

Pei You's eyes were cold, and he didn't know whether he believed it, "You are quite confident."

Wen Ning: "..."

"A Ning knew that this matter was inappropriate, and it caused great trouble to the adults. After catching her son-in-law, she dared not bother the adults anymore... At that time in Yichunyuan, it was Ah Ning who accidentally drank two glasses. I can't blame it. From now on, it's really an accident, and Ah Ning doesn't know why it was wrong..."

Pei You didn't go to the low couch, but sat down at the tea table in the room, "So what do you mean, everything you did was to make Shen Jin give up on you?"

Wen Ning knelt straight: "Yes, my lord. At that time, Ah Ning would not have thought that you were the son of the world, otherwise Ah Ning would not dare to give Ah Ning a hundred courage."

Pei You laughed again, casually took a teacup on the tea table to play with, and said casually: "The sachet on Miss Wen's body looks very strange, what about the one you had before?"

Wen Ning: "..."

How could he even know that she gave Shen Jin a sachet!

But the words have already been spoken, and we cannot change them immediately.

Wen Ning rolled her tongue, and said: "That sachet... my lord, actually... Ah Ning broke off the engagement with Second Young Master Shen at that time, mainly... because I was worried that if he... died in battle, I was a widow at a young age. ..."

"Ah Ning was with his childhood sweetheart after all. That sachet... is actually a relic of Ah Ning's mother. I gave it to him. I hope my mother can help him escape from the battlefield and return safely."

Pei You's eyes fell on the top of her head again: "Miss Wen, for more than a year, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"A Ning dare not!"

"What are you going to Yichun Garden for?" Pei You's voice sank.

Wen Ning blinked, and immediately replied: "The marriage with the second son is divorced, and I feel sad, so I went to drink."

"The principal is 500 taels, one pays ten, and another 5000 taels. The initial start-up capital of the distillery is 1000 taels, and then an additional 500 taels was added. It was difficult to operate in the middle, but there was no additional increase until the early spring of this year... I will give you 2000 taels, you After chasing 2000 taels, there are 4000 taels left, where are you going?"

Wen Ning's scalp tingled, never expecting that Pei You could check such details and count so accurately.

But what did she do in Yichun Garden, how could she tell him where the 4000 taels of silver went?
The sachet in Wen Ning's hand was about to be torn by her, so she said bravely, "There are 4000 taels left. In Wen's mansion, Ah Ning put away the banknotes for emergencies."

"Oh?"

Wen Ning gritted her teeth: "If you don't believe me, you can let Ah Ning go back, and Ah Ning will take it for you to see."

Pei You let out a "huh": "It seems that in Miss Wen's eyes, Pei is really easy to fool."

He suddenly put down the tea cup in his hand heavily, and his voice became cold: "Nonsense, full of lies!"

Wen Ning's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Pei You was not good at fooling around, and what she said really didn't have a single word of truth...

But isn't there no other more suitable rhetoric?

If it were someone else, Pei You's air pressure would sink low after such a change of face, and he would be shivering in cold sweat, so he didn't dare to do it again.

But who is Wen Ning? In her previous life, she had quarreled with Pei You a hundred times if not a thousand times. As long as she was sure that he would not do anything to her, she was actually not that afraid of him.

"Everything Ah Ning said is true, there is nothing you can do if you don't believe Ah Ning." Wen Ning straightened her back.

Now it is different from her previous life, she is not a helpless widow who was kicked out of her husband's house.

Her father was a serious court official after all.

Even if Pei You doesn't believe it, as long as she refuses to admit it, what can he do with her?

"This also proves that Pei has a good vision and chose the right person." But Pei You suddenly changed the subject, her tone was no longer so cold, and she said slowly, "Miss Wen, how did you think about that question just now?"

Wen Ning was questioned by him, and her mind was already in a mess, how did she think about it?

She was puzzled, so she raised her head and looked at Pei You incomprehensibly.

Pei You was just ten feet in front of her, with a graceful figure and a calm expression, without the glare of the sun behind her, his facial features looked clearer, and the little red mole under the brow bone was even more eye-catching.

He was sitting at the tea table, looking down at her condescendingly, seeing her raise her head, her brows and eyes moved slightly, and she stood up.

He arrived in front of her in three or two steps, bent down and pinched her chin, allowing her to look into his eyes, and also to see her eyes at a glance.

"Since Miss Wen is determined to marry, then I will do as you wish..." Wen Ning didn't expect that he would actually go back to her words, looking at her with extremely rare eyes, but her tone was also extremely incontrovertible, "Marry and marry?" I will."
