pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 17

Zhan Huaichun slept almost all day yesterday, so he woke up early in the morning.The windows were all closed, he couldn't tell what time it was outside, he only knew that the rain had stopped, the outside was so quiet that there was not even a bird chirping, and the room was dark.

He stared at the window in a daze for a long time, then slowly looked down.

See a bald top of the head.

Zhan Huaichun immediately closed his eyes without taking a second look.He's used to seeing the little nun in the hat, this bald head... he feels uncomfortable all over.

Closing his eyes, Zhan Huaichun's thoughts quickly turned elsewhere.He remembered that the little nun slept with his arms around him last night, why is it now that he is holding her?Moreover, the little nun's sleeping posture was too bad, her head was tucked into the hollow of his shoulder, one arm was around his waist, and one leg was put on his lap, as if she was afraid that he would run away.Zhan Huaichun also wondered why he didn't push her away. Before it rained and thundered, he slept with that thing in his arms, hugged it tightly when he slept, and kicked the thing to the ground when he fell asleep.

The arm under her neck felt a little numb, Zhan Huaichun tried to move it, but the person in his arms let out a dissatisfied murmur, and pressed him even tighter.

Zhan Huaichun didn't dare to move anymore, afraid of waking her up and facing her.Zhan Huaichun couldn't accept being bumped into by a little nun and trembling in fear of thunder, even if he knew that the other party was kind, he would definitely not laugh at him.

Kind……

Zhan Huaichun lost his mind.

The little nun is really kind.Last night he was so dazed that he could hardly think, but he remembered all those things, Jingci didn't allow her to accompany him, and the little nun was so obedient to her master's words that she even sneaked over in the middle of the night in the rain to comfort him.If the little nun was ordered by her master to serve him wholeheartedly, covering his ears for him was her own idea, she really cared about him.

Zhan Huaichun closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.He didn't like to owe favors, and when the little nun left, he immediately went down the mountain to report to the official, and then he never saw her again, and he didn't have to face embarrassment if he didn't see her.Of course, he would secretly pay attention to her news to ensure that she had a place to stay after she went down the mountain.

Ayu woke up from her sleep, she rubbed her eyes, stared blankly for a while, and slowly remembered what happened last night.

A Yu sat up, turned her head to look at Zhan Huaichun, saw that he was sleeping soundly with his back to her, she smiled gratifiedly, and moved to the bedside to put on her shoes.When she bent down to lift her shoes, something suddenly fell, hit her hand and fell to the ground.Ayu touched his left shoulder in puzzlement, then looked down, and was surprised to find a flattened steamed bun lying on the ground, much smaller than the one he picked up last time, but bigger than the one in the nunnery.

"Why is there another flat bun?" Ayu picked up the bun and said to himself, then looked back at Zhan Huaichun again.Could it be that the benefactor was hungry last night and wanted to sit on the bed and eat steamed buns, but later he forgot to eat them because of thunder, and fell on the bed and was crushed by her while she was sleeping?
The more A Yu thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. After covering Zhan Huaichun with the quilt, she walked towards the table, trying to put the steamed buns back on the plate.The room is dim, and you can't see clearly from a distance, but when you get closer, you find that the three big steamed buns on the plate have not been touched by anyone. Got it?
With this deep doubt, Ah Yu quietly walked out, and returned to her room before everyone got up.

Almost as soon as she stepped out of the door, Zhan Huaichun sat up on her back foot, and walked towards the cabinet while throwing the nun's robe on the bed.

His body was hot again, Zhan Huaichun patted his head annoyed, forced himself not to think too much, casually tied his hair to the top of his head and fixed it with a hairpin, then quietly went out and hurried down the mountain.When he got to the river, Zhan Huaichun hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked downstream, but the figure of Wang Yuanwai was no longer in the mud pit. He didn't know if he was washed away by the water, or he woke up and left before the rain.

He didn't care about any of them, Zhan Huaichun strode down the mountain.

He was lucky, as soon as he turned to the dirt road in front of the mountain, he heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels in the distance. Zhan Huaichun looked at the skirt on his body, quickly rolled up the sleeves, and pinned the hem to his waist. Divided into men's and women's clothing.After packing up, Zhan Huaichun looked over there, ready to stop the car.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning breeze was blowing fresh and comfortable. When Zhan Huaichun saw the carriage clearly, he shook his head and smiled, feeling very good.

"Why did you get down? Did you expect me to come?" Xiao Ren poked his head out of the car and greeted his friend loudly.

Zhan Huaichun didn't respond, the carriage stopped steadily, and he got into the carriage quickly.Before he could ask, Xiao Ren patted the bundle beside him, handed it to him and said, "I brought the clothes, you change them first. Alas, it's hard for you, a rich young master, to live in the nunnery for so many days, so the bet is worthless." Now, let's go back to the county seat, the main reason is that you go back, when my mother scolds me, she will scold you too, it makes me feel better after hearing it."

His playful smile is the same as usual, but Zhan Huaichun knows it well.It's half an hour away from the county seat. It should be dark when Xiao Ren went out. He must be worried that he had a bad night last night when he came out so early.

The two grew up together since they were young, and they love each other like brothers. It's good to know some things clearly, so there is no need to say more.

Ignoring Xiao Ren's joke, Zhan Huaichun jumped out of the car and went to change in the woods. After changing, he casually threw the red dress on the grass, but before walking a few steps, Zhan Huaichun paused, then turned back to pick up the dress Get up, take it back to the car, and tell the driver after sitting down: "Let's go."

The carriage made a turn and went back along the way it came.

Xiao Ren raised the curtain and looked at the halfway up the mountain in the morning light, and said regretfully, "What do you think you came down so early? I still want to see that little nun. By the way, how have you been these few days? Little nun? Didn't make you angry anymore?"

"It's more lively than you think, that nunnery is open and prostitute." Zhan Huaichun also looked at the mountain through the window, and quickly looked away when Xiao Ren turned around.

"A prostitute? No wonder the nuns in it are so good-looking." Xiao Ren was a little surprised, but not too surprised. He rubbed his chin for a while, then smiled and went to see his friend: "Tsk tsk, the little nun who waits on you is stunning. Have you ever..." For some reason, Xiao Ren felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that such a silly little nun had fallen into prostitution, maybe her innocence was just pretending?

"She hasn't picked up the guests yet, so don't talk nonsense." Zhan Huaichun interrupted him with a frown. It was smoky, and I only came down this morning, otherwise I would definitely live for half a month."

"Then how do you know she hasn't picked up the guests yet?" Xiao Ren asked curiously.

Zhan Huaichun didn't pay attention to him at first, but suddenly thought of something, and said casually: "Last night, a man went up to hang out on the mountain, and the hostess arranged him next to me, and told me that there might be some movement at night, and if it made me feel uncomfortable, I would find someone else." A nun will serve you."

Xiao Ren was thoughtful, raised his eyes and saw Zhan Huaichun's face was very ugly, and wondered: "Why are you angry?"

Zhan Huaichun sneered, glared at him and said, "Go and try how it feels to be coaxed into being a fool and then laughed at as a man disguised as a woman? That Jingci, just wait, I'll report her in front of your father when I get back to the county seat Let's see if she can continue to read jokes!"

Zhan Huaichun was indeed able to handle this matter, Xiao Ren nodded his head and said in agreement: "It is true that she should be arrested, it is too wicked to make a nun's nunnery like that." Not only do I have to sue, but I have to sue as soon as possible, so as not to save the two poor girls Wasted in vain.

Seeing that he believed it, Zhan Huaichun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't want Xiao Ren to know that he decided to expose the nunnery because of the little nun.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped directly in front of the Zhan Mansion, and the butler, Old Wang, rushed out to greet him after receiving the letter, and said happily, "Second Young Master, you are finally back! The Eldest Young Master sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that the matter in Yangzhou has been dealt with." Well, he will be back at the end of the month!"

Zhan Huaichun didn't feel happy at all, he wished that his elder brother wouldn't come back, so that he wouldn't have to control him everywhere.

After sending Lao Wang away, Zhan Huaichun strode back to the house where he had been away for a long time, took a comfortable bath, changed into brocade clothes after washing, stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the men's clothes with good eyes, it seems that this is the only way Only then can I forget those tortured days.Having seen enough and feeling better, he and Xiao Ren had a sumptuous breakfast together, and after eating and drinking enough, they boarded the car and headed to the county office.

The front of the county government office is used for adjudicating cases and handling official business, while the backyard is where Xiao Ren's family lives.Of course, Zhan Huaichun would not go to the front yard to announce that he had been to the nunnery, he just planned to tell Xiao Zhixian in private, how did he know the details, the excuse was that he had already thought about it.

When they arrived in the backyard, the boy said that Xiao Zhixian was in trial and would not be back until later.

"What case is being tried today?" Xiao Ren asked casually.

The little servant laughed, rubbed his nose and said, "It's Li Tie from the west of our county. Last year he hooked up with an older girl from Wanhualou, and collected 20 taels of silver to marry her back home. Now he suspects that his daughter-in-law Stealing someone behind his back, I came to the county and begged my lord to put the two of them in prison."

Xiao Ren followed suit with a smile: "This Li Tie is really stupid. His wife may have slept with many men before. What difference does it make if she steals it now?"

With the approval of his young master, the boy smiled even more happily: "That's right, but his wife is still refusing to admit to stealing someone. Who will believe her? Li Tie's mother scolded even worse, thinking that he was fascinated by ghosts back then." I have to marry a junk..."

Zhan Huaichun was listening beside him, and he was listening to it as a joke, but his expression suddenly changed after hearing it.

He thought of the little nun.

If the government went to arrest people, it would definitely cause a commotion in the city. Even if the little nun was persecuted by Jingci, even if she was innocent, who would believe it?If a woman's reputation is ruined, her life will be over, so what's the difference between him saving her and not saving her?
No, he had to find a more secure method, not only to save her, but also to help her keep her reputation.
