I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 79 Sneaking in late at night
The Zhou family's home was in the inner circle in the west of the city, and it took more than half an hour to go back and forth. Mrs. Song didn't return to the Song family until the beginning of the evening.

From the time Mrs. Song left until she came back, except for Mrs. Zhao, the whole family was waiting for news in the hall. Mr. Song was restless and kept pacing back and forth; Mrs. Zhou was almost suffering from nervous breakdown due to the torture of the first wife.

The fact that Song Xianglan and Song Changling had a fight in broad daylight could not be hidden from Master Song. Fortunately, he was not in the mood to punish them with family rules, so he just made them kneel down as punishment.

Mrs. Song hurriedly stepped into the hall, picked up the teacup on the table and took a gulp without saying a word.

The whole family's eyes were on her. Looking at Mrs. Song's expression, it was hard to guess whether the engagement had been finalized or not.

Mrs. Song put the teacup on the table. She was not in a hurry to talk about the engagement. Instead, she gossiped with her family about what she had seen and heard today. "Guess what happened in the Zhou family today?!" Her expression was serious but also a little funny.

The Song family members all stared at her blankly, no one spoke, wondering if Madam Zhou was going to deny the 'engagement'...

Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, Madam Song suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha... You would never guess... That girl actually held Mrs. Zhou hostage with a knife in order to see Zhou Yisheng!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, the whole family was silent. If the girl succeeded, the "engagement" would be over. It would be a funeral before a wedding. What kind of thing would that be!

Madam Song laughed for a while, and then she realized that everyone in the family was looking at her seriously, so she immediately calmed down a lot, "Don't be afraid, luckily Master Ye came to the rescue in time, and Master Ye also took the girl away."

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about the engagement?" This is what Mr. Song is concerned about.
Mrs. Song puffed out her chest and smiled, "The 15th of this month is a good day for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Madam Zhou will come to propose marriage... Here, this is the engagement letter from the young master of the Zhou family. I will take it to match it tomorrow." She took out a red envelope with gold sprinkled on it from her sleeve and handed it to Mr. Song. "Don't worry, even if the horoscopes are not compatible, the Zhou family has nothing to say."

Mr. Song held the engagement letter in his hand, his jaw dropping in shock. The matter was finally resolved smoothly. He put his hands together and prayed, "Ancestors bless you... Ancestors bless you..."

"Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Master Ye. He not only saved Madam Zhou, but also personally acted as a matchmaker between the Zhou and Song families!" Madam Song looked at Song Lingyi with a rare warm smile, "Lele really found a good master!"

Song Lingyi was surprised and moved at the same time, and thought that she would have to thank her master properly when she returned to the palace tomorrow.

Song Xianglan, kneeling on the ground, was feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy. As long as she could marry Zhou Yishen, she would not care about anything else.

"Hmph!" Song Changling got up angrily and went back to the backyard. It was a good thing that the Zhou family agreed to the marriage, but she couldn't be happy at all. Song Xianglan lost such a big person, but it was so easy to let it go. God is really blind!
Song Lingwan lowered her eyes, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

…………

On a rainy night, the Song family, which had been in chaos all day, finally returned to peace. In the east wing, Song Lingwan fell asleep with the drizzle outside the window. Song Lingyi was worried about Lu Jing coming to get the jade pendant, so she sat outside anxiously waiting under the pretext of reviewing her lessons.

After waiting for a long time, she was tired of the day and fell asleep on the table.

In the early hours of the morning, Song Lingyi vaguely heard a rustling sound. Thinking it was Song Lingwan tossing and turning in her restless sleep, she paid no attention to it and fell asleep again in a daze.

Silently, like a scene from a horror movie, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, with a slightly sweaty palm, and tightly covered her mouth and nose.

Song Lingyi's pupils dilated and her heart contracted. She was so frightened that her whole body turned cold. Just as she was about to struggle and call for help, a pair of gentle and hot lips came over and kissed her ear. Just a few inches away, the bandit who climbed the wall in the middle of the night said in a hoarse voice, half ambiguous and half threatening: "You said I would come to take the jade pendant tonight, but you are still sleeping like a dead pig. Don't you want your neck anymore?"

“……”You are the dead pig, your whole family are dead pigs!
However, Song Lingyi could only roll her eyes and didn't dare to say it out loud. First, she was worried about her fourth sister who was asleep, and second, she learned from her master last time that Lu Jing's identity was not simple, and she was afraid that he would do it for real.

Lu Jing removed his hand from Song Lingyi's mouth and said, "I heard that the Song family and the Zhou family are getting married. Congratulations."

Song Lingyi complained in her heart: Do I need to hear it? You were there during the day.

He responded with a fake smile: "...Thank you." There was no light in the dim room, only a little moonlight coming in through the window.

Lu Jing casually flipped through the medical book in front of her and said nonchalantly, "Medical book...you want to study medicine?"

"Well... I am a little interested."

Song Lingyi stood up and took out the jade pendant from the box on the shelf behind and handed it to him, "Here, the jade pendant you wanted."

Lu Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at her fair wrist. It was a little chilly at night, but she was still wearing thin clothes. The eyes behind the demon mask were dim, and soon turned cold again.

Their eyes met, and Song Lingyi was the first to look away, "Now that you have the jade pendant, you must keep your promise and let me go..."

At this moment, Song Lingwan on the bed turned over gently, and Song Lingyi was so frightened that her heart stopped beating.

Lu Jing didn't care whether Song Lingwan was awake or not. He took the jade pendant slowly and put it away. At Song Lingyi's repeated urging, he climbed out of the window with a swift and neat posture.

……

Silent shadow squatting outside the wall

Not long after, the master who had sneaked in silently climbed over the wall and escaped.

Jiying leaned over and whispered, "Master?"

It was the time of lighting the lanterns, and a crescent moon had just hung above the branches, with its clear moonlight shining down.
Lu Jing's face was dazed and he didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear him at all. He just looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, his mind full of thoughts.

Jiying keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Originally, he could have been sent to retrieve the jade pendant, but for some reason, the master had to come in person. That day, the prince ordered to find the jade pendant, and the master found out that it was on Miss Song Wu. He brought her into the manor and then let her go. It was unbelievable.

He had seen Miss Song Wu, and she was indeed beautiful, but the master had seen all kinds of beauties, so he shouldn't fall for a little girl, right?
With this doubt in mind, he asked carefully: "Did the master get the jade pendant? How is Miss Song Wu?"

Lu Jing glanced at him coldly, "Why mention her?"

"I just feel that the master seems to treat her a little differently."

After a long silence, Lu Jing said in a deep voice: "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you very curious about me?"

"..." I dare not be curious

Silent Shadow shut up
……

The next day, Song Lingyi rushed to the palace at the hour of Mao.

Yesterday, the Song family's affairs were properly handled and did not cause much disturbance. On the contrary, when Song Lingyi returned to Nansui Garden, many familiar female officials and palace maids congratulated her on the marriage between the Zhou and Song families.
