Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 27

Yuzhi never imagined that such a day would come, let alone that Ji Li would say such words to her.

Wu Jili looked calm, and after asking that question, he asked again: "The four years you and I have been together can be compared to the few months you and Wen Zhaoling have been together?"

When Yuzhi heard Zhaoling's name in Chinese, she ran away almost subconsciously, this was the first time in her life that she was so embarrassed.She is already a married woman, how can she have entanglements with other men?Even if this man is her best friend since childhood.

All the way back to Boyuju in a panic, Yuzhi found the way clearly for the first time.After entering the yard, she walked around the spot several times before calming down, and walked into the house.

Wen Zhaoling was not in the room, Yuzhi suddenly felt a little sore on the tip of his nose.She didn't know why, she should be avoiding Wen Zhaoling at this time, but she wanted to see him very much.Although it is uncomfortable to think that there is still a girl in his heart, but I always feel that I can feel at ease only when I see him.

Yuzhi sniffed, lifted the corner of her skirt and went to Wen Zhaoling's study.

Wen Zhaoling was indeed in the study.There were no other servants around him, and now that the wet nurse and Que Ya'er were not in the courtyard, there were only the two of them in the entire Boyu Residence.Yuzhi saw him writing something with a pen at the door, and thought he was writing a letter again, so she walked up behind him lightly and looked, and it turned out that he was copying Buddhist scriptures.

"What are you doing?"

Wen Zhaoling was also taken aback when he heard the surprised voice. He looked up and saw that it was Yuzhi and smiled again, "Are you back? Did you talk to Ji Li?"

Yuzhi's eyes dodged a little, and she gave a perfunctory "hmm", "What are you writing about?"

Wen Zhaoling put down his pen, smiled and shook his head, "I've been through this for others."

"Received on behalf of others? For whom?"

Wen Zhaoling glanced at her, "You."

Yuzhi was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

"Mother said that you caused the current situation by recommending Ji Li to the mansion, and I have to punish you to give you better eyesight."

Yuzhi glanced at the Buddhist scriptures, "So you punish me for copying Buddhist scriptures?"

Wen Zhaoling nodded, "You have to copy this Diamond Sutra a hundred times."

"Hundred times!" Yuzhi said bitterly, "Then why did you copy it yourself?"

Wen Zhaoling picked up a pen and wanted to continue writing, "If I don't help you, who else will help you? I am your husband-in-law."

The tip of Yuzhi's nose was sore again, and she couldn't say anything, she could only stand behind him and look at his back, thin and tall, although she always looked sick, she always protected her, no matter in the back mountain of Mingyue Temple Still now.

There was a wave of waves in her heart, a feeling that she had never felt before was surging in her chest. She seemed to have never seriously thought about her feelings for him. Although she regarded him as her husband, there was still a sense of resignation in it. Thoughts, if you are married, then follow him.But now it's different. For the first time, she seriously wants to spend her whole life hand in hand with this man beside her.

Wen Zhaoling noticed that the person behind him had not moved for a long time, and was about to turn his head to look strangely, a pair of arms limply wrapped around his neck, Yuzhi's chin rested on his shoulder, breathing gently against his face, The breath was numb and itchy on his neck.

This is the first time she took the initiative to get close to her, Wen Zhaoling was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to recover, but he didn't move, just leaned his head towards her, smiled softly, feeling the rare warmth .

Yuzhi took a deep breath, turned her head to stare at his fair side face, and whispered in his ear: "Boyu, I found that I have fallen in love with you now..."

Wen Zhaoling's fingers trembled slightly, and the brush made a little ink stain on the paper.

"What did you say?"

"I said that I found that I have fallen in love with you now."

Wen Zhaoling put away the pen, raised his hand to caress her cheek, and sighed softly: "Yuzhi, why didn't you like me until now? I have liked you for a long time."

Yuzhi raised her head in surprise, thought for a while and turned her face away, "You better not lie to me, I know you have other girls in your heart, I only said that I like you, but I didn't say that you must like me."

"Another girl?" Wen Zhaoling was beyond shocked at this moment, "What other girl?"

Yuzhi let go of his arms and straightened up, "It's the girl you knew you were responsible for since you were a child. You always miss her, but she doesn't know..." Yuzhi felt that the tip of her nose became more and more sore.

Wen Zhaoling was startled, and then burst out laughing, "Yuzhi...you don't think you're fighting with me these days because of this, do you?"

Yuzhi turned her head and glanced at him, a little embarrassed, "I didn't make a fuss!"

Wen Zhaoling stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, took her to sit on his lap with a little force, wrapped her body around her body, and whispered in her ear with a smile: "Don't you want to know who that girl is?"

"I don't want to know." Yuzhi blushed and struggled for a while, but failed, so she had to give up.

Wen Zhaoling smiled lowly: "It's you."

Yuzhi looked at him in astonishment, "Me?"

Wen Zhaoling nodded, "Do you still remember the boy who saved you in the back mountain, the one you said had a red mole on his wrist?"

"Remember, what's the matter? Does it have anything to do with him?"

Wen Zhaoling smiled without saying a word. With his left hand free, he dipped a little tea into the cup with his fingers, and wiped it gently on his right wrist.Yuzhi watched his movements strangely, until she saw a bright red mole on his right wrist, she almost screamed in surprise.

"Is it you? Are you the boy who saved me?"

"Yes, I am that boy."

Yuzhi didn't know what to say for a while, she just looked at his wrist stupidly, "Then...why did you cover it with something?"

Wen Zhaoling looked away a little embarrassed, "This mole has been laughed at by Zhong He, so I covered it with white powder. If you smell it carefully, I still have the fragrance of powder on my wrist."

Yuzhi smiled, and then felt strange: "Why did uncle laugh at you?"

Wen Zhaoling's face became more and more embarrassing, and he coughed, "He said... he said he was like a woman's palace guard..."

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing out loud anymore, she really didn't know that Wen Zhaoye would say such a thing.

Wen Zhaoling felt even more embarrassed by her smile, so he simply pulled her closer to him and blocked her lips.Yuzhi couldn't get over it all of a sudden, and yelled a few times, Wen Zhaoling let her go, and gasped a little: "You still dare to laugh at me?"

"No, I dare not..."

Yuzhi suddenly felt great satisfaction in her heart. Thinking that she knew him before and was still remembered by him, she felt that her limbs and bones were full, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously opened into a smile.Wen Zhaoling was still a little embarrassed, but Yuzhi felt that he couldn't get enough of his appearance, as if it was the first time he thought he was so good-looking.

Wen Zhaoling finally returned to normal, and hugged her to his chest, "Yu Zhi, you suddenly said this to me today, did Ji Li tell you something?"

The smile on Yuzhi's lips froze and she shook her head.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, and I won't ask, as long as you have me in your heart."

Wen Zhaoling's words were soft and gentle, with a hint of a smile on them, but Yuzhi was a bit annoyed, as if she had always been the heartless person, and she didn't know that he was waiting for her until today.She leaned her head on his shoulder and asked him in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wen Zhaoling laughed: "What did I tell you? Did I save you, or did I keep watching you? I didn't do anything, but I just got to know you before you knew me."

Yuzhi hugged his neck tightly, "Boyu, I'm very glad to be married to you now."

Wen Zhaoling frowned, "Judging from your tone, it seems that you didn't want to marry me at first?"

Yuzhi admitted honestly: "I really don't want to, I don't know you, and the Wen family is a big and complicated family, so I'm naturally worried."

Wen Zhaoling sighed, and hugged her tightly, "Yuzhi, what kind of life do you want to live?"

"It's good to be with you, but it's best to live a simple life."

Wen Zhaoling's dark eyes had a deep light, but after hearing Yuzhi's words, he fainted with warmth, "Yuzhi, can you trust me?"

"Believe."

"How much do you believe?"

Yuzhi raised her head to see his expression, while Wen Zhaoling lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, quietly waiting for her answer.

Seeing his serious expression, Yuzhi thought about it seriously, "Although I can't guarantee that I will trust you in everything now, I believe that you will not do bad things, let alone do anything that is not good for me."

Wen Zhaoling looked up at her with a smile on his face: "That's enough, it's enough that you can trust me."

Yu Zhi touched his brow that was still frowning even though he was smiling, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

Wen Zhaoling tore off her hand and held it in his hand, "Do you still remember the account book you saw in the cabinet at the back that day?"

Yuzhi subconsciously glanced at the cabinet behind him, "Remember, what's wrong?"

"Do you know what kind of account book that is?"

Yuzhi shook her head, "I don't know, but I guess it's the Wen family's finances."

Wen Zhaoling hesitated for a moment, and said, "That's not the finances of the Wen family, but the account books of business income."

Yuzhi was a little puzzled: "Business? Who is doing business?"

Wen Zhaoling's jade-like eyes stared deeply at her, "Me."

Yu Zhi stared at him dumbfounded, "But... But father, isn't he... an official in court..." She almost didn't know what to say.

Wen Zhaoling smiled reassuringly at her, "Yu Zhi, don't panic, no one knows about this matter, except me, Uncle Gu and my uncle, only you know."

Only then did Yuzhi understand why he asked herself whether she believed him or not, it turned out to be because of this.

"Boyu, why do you want to do business secretly?"

"In the past, I just wanted to leave a way out for myself, but now I feel that this is the right way." Wen Zhaoling held her hand tightly, and a gentle smile bloomed on his lips: "Yuzhi, I really want to give you a way out." That simple life, really."
