Chapter 76
Fearing that her master would be displeased, Erxia suppressed her crying, which sounded even more pitiful.
The door was not closed, and the maids and old women who were sweeping the yard outside heard it all clearly. The little maids were all moved, not to mention Er Qing who grew up with her. After she brought in tea, she stood aside, with a look of pity on her face, and almost wanted to beg for mercy.
Xie Wan Ning thought quietly, in the eyes of others, she really distanced herself from Er Xia for no reason.
After all, Erxia has always been like she said, putting herself first in everything.
As a maid, she was meticulous in her duties and had deft hands, able to style her hair in many complicated ways. In addition, since they grew up together, not to mention the respect given to her by others, even Xie Wan Ning herself had never thought that when she got married one day, she would leave behind this maid who loved her so much.
But the memories in the dream were still vivid. Whenever she saw Erxia, she would think of the day when she was betrayed by both her maid and her husband, and herself who felt like she was struck by lightning outside the room.
At this moment, Erxia was crying with tears in her eyes, heartbroken, but Xie Wan Ning couldn't show any mercy.
Because the affair was exposed that day and she caught him in bed with her, Erxia knelt down and begged for her forgiveness in such a humble and painful manner.
How could she forgive? She couldn't forgive...
Xie Wan Ning gently closed her eyes and said, "In appreciation of your service to me, I will give you a dowry and let you leave the house."
"No! I won't leave you, young lady. Please don't be so cruel."
Erxia's tears were streaming down her face. She looked at Erqing standing beside her and choked up, "You know I have been a bad talker since I was young. I can't say nice things to please my master like others. I am also shallow-minded and don't know where I have offended anyone. Please don't listen to the slander."
These suggestive words made Er Qing pale. She hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to kneel, but was stopped by Xie Wan Ning.
"Since you know you are tongue-tied, you should think about what to say and what not to say. I am tired of you, but you don't think about your own mistakes, but blame others for framing you?"
Xie Wan Ning moved her legs, but she still refused to let go, so she said impatiently, "Since you have served me for so many years, I am willing to give you a dowry, but if you continue to act like this, you don't have to leave the house."
When she gets married, Zheng will always arrange the people in her courtyard.
A personal maid like Erxia didn't have any dowry, not to mention that it was a taboo for her master.
Zheng would not show any mercy when it came to punishing the maidservant who violated her daughter's taboo.
There won't be any good things waiting.
Erxia has been in the mansion for many years, how could she not know this.
Hearing this, she quickly let go of her hand, carefully adjusted her master's skirt, and dared not say another word.
Xie Wan frowned at the humble attitude and said, "Everyone, leave."
She had already shown mercy. After all, Erxia had not betrayed her master and had sex with him. She could not punish her with the guilt in the dream, but she could not pretend that nothing in the dream had happened and continue to keep her by her side to serve her.
Giving a sum of money and letting the man leave the house is the last bit of friendship between master and servant.
Xie Wan Ning sighed softly, glanced sideways and was about to pick up the teacup to calm her mind, but when she turned around, she saw the man sitting next to her, his eyes fixed on her.
Pei Yuqing remained silent during Erxia's disturbance. She almost forgot that such a person existed.
Being caught by him dispatching a maid, Xie Wan Ning felt a little uncomfortable and said, "She has been serving me since she was six years old. It has been twelve years. Do you think I am cruel?"
"Wanwan must have a reason for doing this," Pei Yuqing said with a smile, "I know you very well, how could I think you are cruel."
Even if it's cruel, he likes it.
Xie Wan Ning didn't understand his unspoken meaning, but her heart was still moved, and she couldn't help but explain: "When I was engaged to Lu Ziyan, she developed some feelings for Lu Ziyan and wanted to become my future husband's concubine, but I couldn't tolerate it."...future husband.
The future husband's self-satisfied expression paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wanwan, I will never take a concubine."
"I know, I know." Xie Wan Ning smiled and said, "I just want to have some peace and quiet."
He is already this old and has never been close to a woman, so how could he take a concubine in the future?
During these days of getting along, he never looked away from her sisters and maids, never glanced at them or said a word to them. Xie Wan Ning couldn't even imagine what it would be like if this man took a concubine.
Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning smiled and asked him, "Didn't you come here just the other day? There are only three days left before the wedding, and you can't help but want to see me."
When the servant came to report, Zheng was both helpless and happy. She was helpless because her future son-in-law looked like a dignified and self-reflective young man from a noble family, but he repeatedly did things that were rash and out of proportion.
She was also delighted by his deep love for her daughter.
Pei Yuqing held her hand and said, "I came here because I missed you."
Xie Wan Ning was stunned. How strange! Would this man say sweet words even if she didn't force him?
Pei Yuqing lowered his head and looked at their clasped hands. "Wanwan, you won't regret this, right?"
The expression on his face was unclear, but his voice was a little low. Xie Wan Ning smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about? What can I regret? There are still three days until our wedding day. You just wait to be the groom."
As she spoke, she wondered, "I've heard that girls get nervous on the eve of their wedding, but I've never heard that men can be so worried about getting married."
The sunlight from outside the window poured in through the gauze screen, and the room was brightly lit. The young girl in her teens had one hand held by him, and with the other hand on her chin, she smiled and told him to wait to be her groom.
Pei Yuqing raised his eyes and looked at her quietly for a long time. The confusion and worry in his heart gradually subsided, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
He held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, sighing, "Wanwan is so good. I feel that I am not worthy of you, and I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in my marriage."
Xie Wan Ning: “…”
Is it true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? This man actually feels that he is not worthy of her.
Although she came from a good family, she was not outstanding among the noble ladies in the capital.
Doesn't this person know that it would be useless even if he married a royal princess?
…………
Outside the gate of Yunzhou City, war drums were beaten. The passionate drum beats mixed with the sounds of fighting shook the sky, and broken limbs could be seen everywhere.
On the towering city wall stood a middle-aged man in heavy armor. The man was seven feet tall, with a sword on his waist and a thick short beard. At this moment, he was looking at the man sitting astride a black horse under the city gate with a cold face.
That was Lu Ziyan, who had never been to the frontier battlefield, but whose hands were filled with blood no less than that of the generals guarding outside the Great Wall.
There was fierce fighting under the city wall. Soldiers kept climbing up, but were defeated by the stones rolling down from the city wall. It seemed that the defense was good, but Lu Ping knew that Yunzhou City had been besieged for two months. Not to mention that the soldiers were exhausted, their morale was not as good as the opposite side.
This was already the second day of Lu Ziyan's siege.
He's about to lose control.
