After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 8 The Game is Coming
The next day, when Shen Ning woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She opened her eyes and took a moment to rest. When she saw clearly where she was, she looked around suddenly.

The seat next to it was empty, so Si Yan must have gotten up a long time ago.

Shen Ning let out a long sigh and lay back straight. Everything was too fantastic. She was reborn just yesterday, and at night she and Si Yan...

Thinking of what happened last night, her face turned red instantly. Just that alone made her feel overwhelmed. If it came to the day of consummating the marriage, she bit her lip and simply didn't dare to think about it.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, I'd better just leave it to fate.

After she recovered, she called Caiyun and Yue to help her wash and dress. After a simple breakfast, she entered the front yard and saw Si Yan shooting arrows.

On a cold winter day, he was only wearing a thin blue suit. The huge bow and arrow was like a toy in his hand. With a little force from his arm, the arrow became unstoppable and hit the bull's eye.

Shen Ning couldn't help but complain in his heart: This guy really can't sit still.

Although she thought so, she had a charming smile on her face: "My husband is so amazing."

Si Yan saw her coming and followed her, raised the bow and arrow in his hand and asked, "Will it be possible?"

Shen Ning shook his head honestly.

Si Yan took two steps towards Shen Ning and asked casually, "I haven't taught you before?"

Shen Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she nuzzled his chest, saying coquettishly, "I did say that, but you're so busy, how can you have the time?"

Si Yan asked the guards about it. After getting married, he spent about half of his time in the frontier and half in the capital. But he couldn't be idle in the capital and was often sent out. However...

"I heard that you never followed me when I went to the border before."

Shen Ning swallowed his saliva, and tugged at Si Yan's sleeve with his right hand, saying: "I have always wanted to go, but you said the environment in the border areas is bad and you were afraid that I would suffer, so you only let me stay in the capital."

Si Yan looked at her thoughtfully, grabbed her hand with his big hand and kissed it on his lips, his tone inexplicably doting: "I was inconsiderate before, I will take you with me next time I go to the battle, come, I will teach you archery, and when there is a chance, I will take you to race horses, it will come in handy when we arrive in Liangzhou."

Shen Ning's mouth froze. This was totally unnecessary.

Si Yan's teaching was very serious. He held Shen Ning's arm from behind and showed her again and again how to exert force. Shen Ning hadn't exerted such force for a long time. She started to sweat after a while, but she still had to do it. It was her fault for being so rude. She shouldn't have paid attention to him just now.

Just when Shen Ning was in a dilemma, a figure who had just floated into the yard suddenly exclaimed: "Shen Ning?"

Shangguan Jing is Shen Ning's best friend and often comes to play with her. Her appearance undoubtedly saves Shen Ning from the dire situation. Shen Ning immediately puts down her bow and arrow and breathes a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned.

Si Yan was also tactful. He had no interest in women other than his wife. After nodding to Shangguan Jing, he left. Shangguan Jing dared to step forward only after Si Yan's figure completely disappeared. She grabbed Shen Ning's arm and said in disbelief, "What's going on? You hugged each other in broad daylight. So it turns out that no one cares about anyone else?"

Although Shangguan Jing's voice was not loud, Shen Ning still cautiously pulled her aside: "What are you talking about, my husband, of course I like it."

Shangguan Jing pursed her lips after hearing this, and her expression was sad as if she was about to cry. They were both arranged marriages, married to people they didn't like, and they had always been together for warmth, but she didn't expect that now...

Her eyes seemed to be looking at a heartless man: "You have changed. We agreed to live together and fly together, but you secretly like a man."

Shen Ning held his head with his hand, "No, no, no, listen to me, this is how a couple should be, and Chu Xiong treats you very well, so don't always throw a tantrum."

Shangguan Jing's eyes widened even more, and she put her right hand on Shen Ning's forehead: "Are you okay? Is it Si Yan who was injured or you? Didn't you persuade me to live our own lives before? By the way, before we got married, you also introduced me to Rong Jingyi and said that Chu Xiong was useless."

Rong Jingyi is Shen Rou's brother-in-law. At the beginning, Shen Ning thought that her sister had a happy marriage and the Duke's Mansion was a good place to go. She also had misunderstandings about military generals, so she wanted Shangguan Jing to be her sister-in-law. Now that she thinks about it, she was simply a fool.

Shen Ning sighed helplessly: "Just treat me as if I was blind. I admit that my previous understanding of Chu Xiong was too one-sided. Besides, you two have consummated your marriage. You are a couple that is set in stone. It is better to support each other than to be hostile to each other."

It is said that a person's true character is revealed in times of crisis. After being exiled in the previous life, everyone avoided them except Chu Xiong, who had no relationship with them and spared no effort to help.

Shen Ning heard Chu Xiong say with his own ears that he liked Shangguan Jing and was willing to do anything for her. This feeling must have existed for a long time, but it had not been revealed yet.

Speaking of consummating the marriage, Shangguan Jing was even more disgusted: "He's like a bull plowing the field, who cares about me? And he only cares about that little thing all day long, just pulls up his pants and leaves. Who knows if he thinks I'm a woman from a brothel."

If Shen Ning and Si Yan were tacitly estranged, then Shangguan Jing's unilateral dislike for Chu Xiong was well-founded. Rumor has it that Chu Xiong, as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, spent a huge sum of money on the top prostitute in Baihua Tower. It was not a glorious thing for an official to have sex with a prostitute, especially when the prostitute was her husband.

Shen Ning had been prejudiced against Chu Xiong because of this matter before, but after so many things happened, she no longer believed the rumor at all.

Shen Ning: "Rumors are just rumors after all. If you want to know the truth, just ask him directly, so as not to be so angry. And as you said, he torments you so much every day, how can he have the energy to go to Baihua Tower? I think he is not as cold as he looks. If you have any request, just tell him directly, I guarantee he will listen to you."

Shangguan Jing was so shocked that the hairpin on her head was shaking. She said "tsk tsk" twice: "Did you accept money from Chu Xiong? Why are you speaking for him like this? And how do you know so much? Have you done this and that with Si Yan?"

Shen Ning didn't know how the topic got to him again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Anyway, Si Yan and I are a loving couple now, and the things in the past don't count anymore. Let's not talk about this anymore. The annual 'Talented Man and Beautiful Woman' competition will be held in a few days. Are you ready?"

Shangguan Jing felt like she was hallucinating when Shen Ning said this: "Are you kidding me? When have you ever paid attention to this kind of competition? No, you want to paint? But didn't you say that your paintings are extraordinary and there's no need to share them with mortals?"

Thinking of those thoughtless words in the past, Shen Ning smiled awkwardly: "People will change, and these words were taught to me by Shen Yuyao. She must have bad intentions."

Shangguan Jing couldn't count how many times she was shocked today. She shook Shen Ning's shoulders with both hands and said excitedly: "You finally saw Shen Yuyao's true face. Thank God, God bless you!"
