my wishful wolf

Chapter 108 Finding the root of the beauty

Jing An was thoughtful, turned to look at Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui met his cold eyes, shook her hand, spilled the tea and spilled Jing An's hand.Seeing Yue'e nearby, she hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.

Here, Xiaokui was trembling all over, and suddenly fell to her knees, and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Hou."

Yue'e didn't understand what it meant, and said: "It's just sprinkled water, what is this for? Just get up." Jing An looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This maid is used to making a fuss, you go out first." Kui looked hesitant, got up from the ground, looked at Yue'e, then at Jing An, Jing An lowered his eyes, and said, "Aren't you going?"

At that moment Jing An talked for a while, and then said: "You should rest early, you didn't sleep well last night." Seeing that he was leaving, Yue'e also said: "Understood, you don't have to worry about it." Then she sent them off Jing An, Xiao Ha also got up when he saw this, wagging his tail and followed to the door.

Jing'an only said that the wind was strong, and he didn't ask Yue'e to go out. When he got to the door, he said: "I didn't bring a lantern, so I asked the servant girl to send it off, Xiaokui, go and fetch the lantern." She hunched over her shoulders, trembling and said nothing, only secretly glanced at Yue'e.

Yue'e was startled, looked at Jing An, but then smiled and said: "In that case, Xiao Kui, please see off Lord Hou." Jing An nodded, and Xiao Kui's face turned ashen when he heard that.

The mother-in-law took the lantern and handed it to Xiaokui. Xiaokui picked it up and led the way silently before her head. After leaving the courtyard gate, she walked for a while. The surrounding was quiet and desolate. Somewhere the jackdaws started up and croaked and flew by. Blown by the wind, the swaying shadow moved, Xiao Kui jumped in shock, let out a low "Ah", stopped moving, but heard Jing An coldly say from behind: "Xiao Kui, why are you panicking?"

After hearing Jing An's words, Xiao Kui turned around hastily, put the lantern beside her, knelt down on the ground, and prostrated herself and said: "Master, please forgive me." Jing An said indifferently: "Where do you start with this?" Seeing that there was no one around, Kui shivered and said, "I dare not hide the truth from Lord Hou, because during the day, the eldest son called the servant to ask the servant when he was in Ziyun County..."

In the darkness, Jing An's expression could not be seen clearly, but he could only hear him say slowly: "Then... how did you say it?"

Xiaokui hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Master Hou Mingjian, the slave girl didn't say anything, the eldest son meant to ask the slave girl if she knew the lady in Ziyun County, the slave girl... the slave girl just said that she hadn't seen her before. Lord Hou, please forgive me."

Jing An nodded lightly, and said: "Xiao Kui, as expected you have been with me for a long time, but you understand my intentions, you have done well."

Xiaokui said: "This servant is wholeheartedly devoted to Master Hou and Madam, and will definitely not do anything harmful to Master Hou and Madam."

Jing An said: "Very good." Then he took a step forward and said, "I remember you were sold here when you were young, and there are older brothers and widows in your family."

Xiaokui lowered her head, just shaking, Jing An said: "I will not treat them badly." Xiaokui wept and said sadly: "Master Hou, I didn't say anything, even if I won't say a word in the future, Please be kind to Lord Hou, please be kind to Lord Hou."

Jing An slightly hesitated, then sighed, and was about to call someone, when he heard footsteps behind him, Jing An only thought it was a servant passing by, so he shouted sharply: "Who is it?"

The man behind him came forward slowly and said, "Hey, what are you doing again?" The voice was soft, but it was Yue'e.

Seeing Yue'e appearing, Xiaokui knelt and rubbed forward, calling: "Lady..." trembling, but afraid of Jing'an, she dared not say anything, she knelt on the ground in an instant, tears falling like rain.

Jing An hurriedly turned around, went to support Yue'e, and said: "It's pitch black, you came out by yourself? There is no one to follow, if you fall down, you will be better off. If there is something wrong, just ask someone else to speak up." .”

Yue'e said: "Others can't do this, Xiaokui needs to go back and do it." After finishing speaking, she looked at Jing'an.

With the faint light on the ground, the two looked at each other, Jing An paused, and said: "Yue'er..." I don't know how to say it.

Yue'e looked at him and said: "Even if she has something wrong, just look at it for my sake and don't embarrass her, okay?"

Jing An felt troubled and said, "Yue'er, you don't know..."

Yue'e said suddenly, "Respect."

Yue'e shouted: "Jing An!" She seldom called him by his name like that, only called "Hou Ye", and occasionally she couldn't be forced to call him by his first name, Jing An was startled when he heard the sound, but he didn't notice it. Huanxi, only felt that her tone was a little cold, but decisive, which was unusual, so she couldn't help being stunned.

In the darkness, the two looked at each other for a moment. A light on the ground was dimly lit and flickering, but they couldn't reflect each other's faces.

Jing An was about to speak, Yue'e lowered her head slowly, and said softly: "Master Hou, the past can never be changed, you should... understand."

After Jing An heard this sentence, his body froze suddenly and he was speechless for a moment.

Yue'e turned around, walked to Xiaokui's side, reached out to help her up, wiped the tears on her face, and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go back." Xiaokui looked at Yue'e, bit her lip, shed tears Rolling down, I just endured it, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, lady."

Yue'e held Xiaokui's hand, walked to Jing An's side, and then said softly: "Master Hou, Tianhan, let's go back and rest earlier..."

After Yue'e said this, she and Xiaokui walked towards the east courtyard side by side, leaving Jing An standing there alone, dazed for a long time, alone, the lantern on the ground was still dancing brightly.

Immediately, Jing An called out: "Who is there?" Then someone came out from the nearby forest and said: "Hou Ye...what else can I order?" Jing An was silent for a moment, then said: "I have to keep an eye on this courtyard, if someone Anyone who commits crimes will be captured alive if he can, and if he can’t, he will be killed.”

The man promised, dressed in black and black scarf, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the forest again like a ghost in the dark night.

Jing An went back to the room alone, changed his clothes, then sat by the bed, dazed in a daze, ever since he came back from the east courtyard, he was always thinking about the words Yue'e said, after thinking for a long time, he just put on the clothes Lying on the bed.At the end of the night, listening to the rustling of the wind outside the window, I was full of thoughts, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

On the second day, Jing An knew that Mrs. Xie was going to pay respects to the Buddha, so he went to invite Ann early. Mrs. Xie also got up early, bathed and incensed, and then brought her maids and servants, holding incense candles to offer sacrifices and offerings to the temple, surrounded go out.

Jing An just came back and went to see Yue'e, he felt uneasy, but Yue'e still looked as usual, Jing An said a few words to her, then went out to the yamen.

Let's say that Yue'e was at home and was turning over the book by herself. Suddenly someone came to report outside and said, "The eldest son has invited Mrs. Yue." Yue'e was startled, and asked, "Why didn't the eldest son go out?" "No, the Eldest Young Master invites the lady to come, there is something important." Yue'e thought for a while, then put down the book in hand, Xiao Kui hurried over and said: "I will go with the lady."

Yue'e nodded and went out with Xiaokui. The man led the way and led Yue'e to Dongyan's study.He opened the door and said, "Madam, please go in alone."

Xiaokui said: "I have to accompany my wife." Yue'e reached out to pat her hand and said, "It's okay, you wait for me outside." Xiaokui had no choice but to agree.

Yue'e stepped inside, and the door was closed. Inside, Dong Yan was sitting behind the desk, reading a book.Hearing someone enter the door, he said without raising his head, "Please sit down."

Yue'e nodded and said, "Thank you, Eldest Young Master." She sat down gently.

After a while, Dong Yan raised his head and said: "The conversation with you yesterday is not over yet. I asked where your family lives, but you haven't answered yet. I don't know if my lady is willing to answer at this moment?"

Yue'e heard the words, smiled slightly, and said: "I don't know why the eldest son is interested in the origin of the concubine's body?"

Seeing her smiling like a flower, Dong Yan couldn't face her for some reason, he was distracted for a moment, he looked away, and said: "You are a nervous person in Jing'an, the so-called origin, of course you have to figure it out."

Yue'e remained the same, and said with a slight smile: "Master Hou is clearer than anyone else about my background. If the eldest son wants to know, he only needs to call Master Hou and he will be clear. What about the concubine?...The Eldest Young Master and the Hou Ye are two brothers who are deeply in love with each other, so why do you need to hide it from the Hou Ye?"

Dong Yan was stunned, his eyes sharpened.

Yue'e pretended not to see it, and said: "Besides, I have already heard that the eldest son does not allow the Hou Ye to marry a concubine, and there are other threats...Since the eldest son has made up his mind, why bother?" You also need to pay attention to where the concubine comes from and where she is going, I heard that you, the eldest son, are in charge of everything and are capable of governing the country, so it would be a pity to waste such precious time on mere village girls?"

Hearing her talk, Dong Yan was shocked several times, looked at Yue'e again, and said, "You...you are eloquent."

Yue'e said: "I want to teach the eldest son to know that a person who is usually silent does not mean that person is a fool. In addition, I have no covetous heart towards you Xie Fu. You can call me hypocritical, eldest son. It doesn't matter if you are hypocritical, if it wasn't for Master Hou's efforts to entangle me, I am thousands of miles away at this moment, and I have nothing to do with you Yuntian Xie Mansion!"

Hearing the words, Dong Yan's eyes moved, he smiled slightly, and said: "Really? It's a lot of talking, but you are in the mansion at the moment, no matter whether you are involuntary or deliberate, your origin, I But it needs to be investigated clearly, if it is as simple as you are the righteous sister of the guard, then that's fine, I Xu Jingan accept you as a concubine, that's all, but if there is something wrong..."

Yue'e smiled and lowered her head, and said: "The superior can always decide the life and death of the subordinates. I was controlled by Lord Hou before, but now I am controlled by the eldest son. I think God is always fair. ——Eldest son, since you You have a well-thought-out plan, so why should I say it? Why don't you ask the eldest son to judge me where I came from, and then sentence me where I will go."

Dong Yan sneered, looked at Yue'e and said, "I underestimated you at first, and thought you were a submissive, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming."

Yue'e shook her head and said: "The eldest son is wrong. It is not because of scheming, but because of anger. It is also helpless. I am really resigned. In the eyes of the eldest son, a person like me is nothing more than a troublesome beauty. I was just fascinated for a while, so I played with the applause. If the momentary sentiment is exhausted, I will naturally be abandoned like a shoe. The eldest son is such an upright gentleman, and he can't wait to get rid of me quickly, so as not to be fascinated by the Marquis... Ha , What choice do I have? I just go with the flow and let it be dealt with."

Dong Yan met her bright eyes, felt a little hatred for some reason, and said, "Very good, it's good that you have this name of self-knowledge."

Dong Yan looked at Yue'e for a while, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Come out." Yue'e followed Dong Yan's gaze and turned her head to look, her body shook slightly, but her face remained calm.

It turned out that the beauty who slowly walked out from behind the curtain was no stranger to her. It was Wenru, the concubine of Ji An who once appeared in Ziyun County.

Wen Ru came out, went to Dong Yan, saluted, and said, "I have seen the eldest son." Dong Yan looked at Wen Ru, and said coldly, "You see clearly, do you recognize this person?"

Wen Ru smiled and said: "It's not very real just now, let me take a closer look." Then he turned around, walked to Yue'e, and looked at Yue'e.

Yue'e was just sitting, and when she saw Wen Ru looking at her, she also raised her head, looking at Wen Ru's eyes generously, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, the clouds were calm and breezy.

Wen Ru looked around Yue'e, but didn't make a sound. The two looked at each other, and each other's hearts were like mirrors. Yue'e saw a faint smile on Wen Ru's face. like……

Dong Yan was impatient and said: "Did you see clearly?" Wen Ru turned back and said: "Go back to the eldest son, I can see clearly." Dong Yan said: "Do you recognize her?"

Wen Ru looked back at Yue'e, Yue'e no longer looked at her, just smiled slightly, looking down at the jade around her waist: "What can we do when the situation is imminent?"I can only be honest.

For some reason, Yue'e didn't want to break down and cry bitterly in front of Jing An's family members, and acted in such a disturbed situation. At this moment, her heart was so nervous that she could suffocate, but she still had a slight smile on her lips.

Wen Ru turned around and said, "My lord, I don't recognize this person."

All of a sudden, Dong Yan was startled, and even Yue'e was taken aback, and turned to Wen Ru as soon as she stopped smiling.Dong Yan asked in surprise: "What did you say, you really don't recognize it?"

Wen Ru shook his head with a smile, and said: "Indeed, I don't recognize such a good face. If I have seen such a good face, I will never forget it. However, just to be cautious, I just looked at it again carefully. I really don't recognize it. I don't know." Who is this beautiful lady?"

Dong Yan's complexion changed again and again, but he looked at Yue'e again, and Yue'e still smiled.Dong Yan couldn't help it, so he frowned and said: "You don't need to ask any more questions, since you don't recognize it, just go out." Wen Ru said: "Thank you, Eldest Young Master, I will leave." Slightly glanced at her again, but at this moment, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around like a shadow in surprise, and walked out the door.

There was a moment of silence in the study.After a while, Dong Yan said again: "Thank you." Yue'e removed a big stone in her heart, feeling inexplicably happy, looking at Dong Yan's face, although she couldn't see him being very frustrated, she knew that he was not feeling well, so she said: "Is the eldest son disappointed?" Dong Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?" Yue'e said: "The eldest son is full of desire to see the filth hidden behind my concubine, but he doesn't get what he wants. Aren't you disappointed?"

Dong Yan's eyes darkened, and he said: "You are just the concubine Ji Jing'an loves, and you dare to talk to me like this and try to figure out my thoughts? How dare you!"

Yue'e said: "I know that my status is low, but I can work so hard for the eldest son to find out where I am. I only feel honored, so I talk too much. Please punish."

Dong Yan bit his lip and said, "Tricky woman!"

Yue'e said: "Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for your praise."

Dong Yan gritted his teeth, raised his eyebrows and said, "Get out!"

Yue'e got up, and just about to say goodbye, she suddenly said: "My lord, I have a merciless request." Dong Yan was lowering his head, and raised his eyes when he heard the words, but saw the woman standing on the other side with a smile on her face. Feeling quite dazed, he couldn't help himself, and said softly: "What is it, just say it."

While talking, in the memory, a certain figure is like this, smiling lightly, coming through the flowers and brushing the willows, her delicate smile is warm, overlapping with the person in front of her... No, what's the difference!Dong Yan's heart trembled slightly, he leaned back, and suddenly sat down again, looking at Yue'e in front of him again, his eyes had returned to clarity.

Dong Yan asked: "What is it, just say what you want!" The question was still slightly gentle before, but now it is as cold as ice.
