The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

   (This article is first published in Xiaoxiang Academy, please go to Xiaoxiang Academy for updates.)

   "Wen Ning, come here."

  Wen Ning just paused when she heard Pei You's rather harsh voice.

  In fact, she has a sense of propriety to watch out for everyone. She is a "wife of the world", so of course she would not go to see a foreign man on her own.

  She was just a little surprised, and her steps involuntarily paused.

  In the next breath, she had already started walking again, but she was not as happy as before, her smile was restrained, and her steps were slower. As she walked, she couldn't help thinking that at the beginning of the year when Shen Jin went to the Temple of Mercy to meet her, she was afraid that it would be the last time she saw him like in her previous life, so she gave him the sachet she was carrying.

  Such a move would probably make Shen Jin have other ideas about the relationship between the two of them.

  He came back alive, but also saw that she was married to another woman.

  It's pretty good.

  Wen Ningxiang.

  Although her marriage to Pei You was fake, Shen Jin didn't know it. If he cut off his thoughts like this, three years later he would have found a woman who could really spend his life with him.

   It's just that it's hard to avoid being sad for a while.

  Wen Ning was about to sigh when someone grabbed her hand and gently moved her to cover her side.

"you…"

  Wen Ning raised her eyes and glanced at Pei You, just as she was about to say what are you doing grabbing my hand, following his line of sight, she saw that Shen Jin, who was in the dark just now, was pacing over leading his horse.

  She stopped when she was about to pull out her hand.

   After all, Shen Jin wants to give up, so it's better to show affection.

   "Shen Jin has met the prince, seen..." Shen Jin's skin looked much darker, and he was thinner than the last time we met, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He crossed his hands and glanced at Wen Ning, "Ma'am."

   "General Shen greeted me late at night, and my husband and I were very flattered." Pei You did not relax while holding Wen Ning's palm, and spoke politely, but there was no expression in his dark eyes, "What's the matter, General Shen?"

  When Shen Jin saw Pei You holding Wen Ning behind him, not wanting him to see him, he knew that he was hostile to him.

  That's right, Ah Ning is already his wife, he is a person who had a marriage contract with her, waiting here at night, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good person.

Shen Jin lowered his eyes, covered the loneliness in his eyes, and pulled out a smile: "The son and his wife got married before, and Shen Jin was far away in the frontier, so he never congratulated him in person. Today, he heard that the son and his wife came back from the south, so he specially waited here and offered a small gift. share."

  Shen Jin took out a wooden box from the pouch on the horse's belly: "I wish the prince and his wife a happy marriage for a hundred years, long happiness and eternal health."

  Wen Ning didn't expect that Shen Jinhou was here, it was just for congratulations, the tip of her nose couldn't help but she twitched her hands and wanted to go forward to receive the gift.

  Pei You clasped her hand to prevent her from moving.

  This person... just received a gift, not exceeding the rules.

  Wen Ning gritted her teeth and grabbed Pei You's palm, but he still didn't let go, she just gave Gu Fei a wink, and Gu Fei immediately stepped forward to take the wooden box over.

"General Shen has a heart." Pei You seemed to be completely unaware of Wen Ning's movements, and said to Shen Jin lightly, "I heard that General Shen made another great contribution during the Southern Expedition and was named General of Hussars. Pei is in the south of the Yangtze River. And congratulations. Invite General Shen to drink with him another day, and congratulate General Shen on his promotion."

  Wen Ning was taken aback.

  Has Shen been promoted? General Hussars?

  The sadness in my heart suddenly disappeared. To live a new life, she cherishes her life more than anyone else, and she also knows how important it is to live.

   If he can survive, there will be infinite possibilities in the future. If he can survive, he will be able to realize the ambition in his heart and meet the girl he loves again.

  He was no longer the little general Shen who died in battle at a young age.

  Wen Ning stood behind Pei You, with a slight smile, and silently gave Shen Jin a thumbs up with the other hand, just like when she was a child.

  The loneliness in Shen Jin's eyes seemed to be blown away by the night wind for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

   "It's late at night, so Pei won't invite General Shen into the mansion for tea." Only Pei You's voice suddenly became a little colder, "General Shen, please do what you want."

   After finishing speaking, he took Wen Ning's hand and turned to enter the mansion.

   "Hey, you..." If it weren't for the servants standing in a row at the door, Wen Ning would have had a fit.

  His hand was suddenly so strong that it hurt her bones.

  Pei You didn't say much, but lowered her eyes and glanced at her coolly.

   It's really nice to flirt with him in front of his face.

   "Slow down." Wen Ning complained in a low voice, not only her hands were tight, but also her steps were so fast that she almost lost track of her manners.

  Pei You pursed her lips and glanced at her again.

  Wen Ning felt that he seemed to have something to say, so she moved her lips, and Shen Jin's voice came from behind again.

"Pei Shizi." Shen Jin's voice was neither loud nor soft, neither humble nor overbearing, sonorous and solemn, "The friendship between Ah Ning and my president can be described as childhood sweetheart friendship. I have always treated her... like my own sister. Please cherish my love, Mr. Pei." In short, take good care of him, Shen Jin is here to thank the prince."

  The two of them were walking to the gate and were about to enter through the door, but they both stopped when they heard this.

  Wen Ning turned her head, and saw Shen Jin folded his hands in front of his forehead, and thanked Pei You solemnly.

  She was moved again, but Pei You didn't even turn her head, her voice was weak and cold: "Pei's wife, there is no need for General Shen to thank you."

   "Gu Fei, see off the guests."

   After finishing speaking, she dragged Wen Ning forward.

   "Pei You, slow down!" After finally walking to a place where there were not so many servants, Wen Ning complained softly again.

  Pei You finally stopped this time, let go of her hand, pursed the corners of her lips, and looked at her with a worried expression.

  Wen Ning blinked.

  She probably knew why Pei You was unhappy.

Shen Jin said that he treated her like a "sister", but most of the capital knew about her engagement to Shen Jin. Tonight, in front of so many family members, Shen Jin's last words and the thank you gift , It really made him a little embarrassed.

But…

   Isn't this the only thing Shen Jin can do for her.

Wen Ning took a deep breath, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I won't see Shen Jin again in the future, and I won't damage the reputation of your Duke's Mansion. I didn't expect him to be waiting outside the Duke's Mansion tonight, otherwise I would Let the brothers go and take him away first."

  Pei You glanced at her: "You still remember that you are from the Duke's Mansion."

   Moving forward again, the pace is a little slower.

"I wouldn't have passed you if you didn't call me just now." Wen Ning followed up to express his loyalty, "Besides, you are good today..." Xin realized, no, "You are so caring today, knowing that I miss my brothers, let me Riding in the carriage with my brothers, how could I not repay you and do things that hurt your face?"

  Pei You slightly raised the end of his eyebrows, Wen Ning took a look and knew that he was not so angry anymore.

  It's really easy to coax.

   People stopped being angry, and her curiosity came up, and she tugged on his sleeve: "Pei You, Shen Jin has really been named the Hussar General?"

   Hussar General!

   In his previous life, Shen Jin died in battle, and the Southern Expeditionary Army was defeated. This battle was won very tragically. After the plague in the 16th year of Jiahe, the Nanman quickly counterattacked and headed northward. In the seventeenth year of Jiahe, Pei You led Xie's army into the army of the Southern Expedition and won a great victory. When he returned to Beijing, Emperor Jiahe bestowed him with this title.

   In this life, Shen Jin survived, and the Southern Expeditionary Army was not damaged in battle. Then even if there is another battle next year, will the Nanman be as invincible as in the previous life? Pei You doesn't need to lead the army anymore?

   One hair will move the whole body, one thing has changed, and the next thing is no longer what she can predict.

  Pei You didn't answer her words, just snorted lightly, and stared at her with those dark eyes: "Who said just now that we won't see Shen Jin anymore?"

  After speaking, regardless of Wen Ning's reaction, Liang Liang pulled out her sleeves: "I'll go to Fuquyuan, and you go back to Qinghui Hall by yourself."

   He stepped up and left.

  She asked Shen Jin if he was really appointed General Hussars, and what did it have to do with whether she saw him or not?

   Inexplicable.

   She would be happy not to take her to meet the eldest princess!

  Wen Ning snorted softly, chose the opposite path to Pei You, and left by herself.

-

  Qinghui Hall had to believe that the son and his wife were going home a few days ago, and they had burned the earth dragon early, cleaned up the inside and outside, and made a new decoration, waiting to welcome the couple back.

   But today it was already late, and it was too cold in winter, Linglan was so focused on moving the flowers and plants that Wen Ning added a few days ago to the house that she didn't notice the movement at the front door.

  When Wen Ning appeared in front of her, she almost screamed out.

   "Girl, my girl! You're back!" she choked up as she shouted.

  Wen Ning suddenly decided to go to Jiangnan with the eldest son that day, and of course she wanted to follow, but Wen Ning suppressed her thoughts with a "shh".

  She knew it was inconvenient to go to the south of the Yangtze River to take the female relatives, but all the girls in her family went... In the end, she was left alone in the Duke's mansion, so I was really worried about her!

   "Miss, are you tired? Thirsty? Have you had dinner yet? Where's your uncle?" Linglan was so surprised that she couldn't choose what to say.

   "I...I'd better prepare the bath water first!"

  The housekeeper in the vestibule didn't know how to do it, and the girl and uncle didn't come to notify in advance when they were going back!

  Linglan went out in a hurry, but Qinghui Hall became lively again.

   It was the luggage on the carriage and the things Wen Ning bought along the way, and they were brought in one after another.

  It is indeed a bit late today. It was still Linglan who understood her, Wen Ning asked the servants to put all those things in a vacant room, took a comfortable bath, and then lay alone on the spacious big bed, not to mention how comfortable it was.

  Oh my god, it's been four months, and finally I don't have to share the same bed with Pei You anymore, but she is suffocating to death!

  Wen Ning wished she could roll on the bed again.

Ling Lanyou hadn't recovered from the surprise of Wen Ning's sudden return, she kept asking with a small mouth: "Miss, are you used to eating and sleeping all the way? Why do I watch you lose so much weight?" How about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River? Is it really as good as you said before? Is the winter in the south of the Yangtze River cold? Does it snow? I heard that it is colder there than ours! Let me see if you have any raw Frostbite. Girl! What is on your middle finger? Why is there such a big scar?!"

  Wen Ning was about to be buzzed by her twittering, and patted the pillow next to her: "Come on, you sleep with me today, and I'll tell you about Jiangnan, and you tell me about new things in Beijing."

  When she was in the Wen Mansion, Ling Lan occasionally shared the bed with Wen Ning, but the bed in the Duke’s Mansion...

   Linglan hesitated a little.

   "It doesn't matter, your uncle went to see the eldest princess today, and he won't come back until midnight. I have already agreed with him that he will sleep in the study room today and will not disturb my cleanliness."

  The fact is that she doesn't know when Pei You will come back, but from today onwards, he should go back to his study to sleep.

  That was the agreement at the beginning.

  Linglan still hesitated, but it had been too long since she had seen Wen Ning, and she had something to ask her, she wanted to talk to her, so she tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Then...then I'll take a bath too, and I'll go to bed after I'm done."

  Wen Ning did have a lot to say to Linglan, but she was really tired after traveling in the carriage for the past few days.

  The two lay on the bed talking for a while, and then fell asleep together.

  So when Pei You came back from Fuquyuan, the candlelight in Qinghui Hall was dim, and there were few voices. Only Wang Qinsheng excitedly carried the lantern for him, saying that his wife had a rest first.

  He went to the main house very naturally, pushed open the door very lightly, and only after entering the inner room did he take out a fire pocket and light a small lamp.

   He just walked slowly to the bed and saw two girls sleeping in each other's arms, so there was no place for him.

  Under the candlelight, Pei You's forehead twitched disorderly, his dark eyes stared at Wen Ning who was sleeping soundly, and he unconsciously clenched his back molars.

It really is…

   Ruthless.
