After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242 The Shen brothers return to Shengjing

But on the third or fifth day, the embroidery workshop sent Nan Baoyi's new skirt.

The girl stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror and tried on clothes.

The girl in the mirror wears a bright yellow rain silk brocade jacket, a complicated and light dark green skirt, and a neat black snake bun. In the summer, she looks particularly clean and beautiful, like a handful of green lotuses.

She was very satisfied.

Xiao Yi picked up the bead curtain and came in. Seeing her looking around at the bronze mirror, he said calmly: "Want to go out?"

Nan Baoyi looked at him through the mirror with a sweet smile: "I'm going to join in the Cheng Mansion night banquet. Second brother, does it look any different to me than usual?"

As he spoke, his thin white hands deliberately touched the new jacket that was as light as clouds.

Xiao Yi really didn't see any difference.

He sat cross-legged by the window, opened a stack of memorials, pondered for a long time, and praised: "It's more beautiful than yesterday."

Nan Baoyi was displeased and turned to look at him: "I'm wearing a new jacket, didn't you see? This rain silk brocade cloth was specially sent to me by my fourth brother a few days ago, but you don't even know how to do it." Didn’t you even notice it?”

Xiao Yi was silent.

Nan Jiaojiao has a hundred or not two hundred summer dresses, and the side hall is full. She changes one outfit almost every day without repeating it. How could he pay special attention to what she is wearing?

Nan Baoyi gritted his molars: "Second brother is so incomprehensible about style, he wasted the money I spent on buying so many new skirts! Do you think everything I wear is the same?"

"In my eyes, Jiaojiao looks equally good no matter what she wears. Even if she doesn't wear anything, she still looks good."

Xiao Yi responded fluently.

Ever since he married a little girl, he felt that the Q\u0026A session in the boudoir every day was like stepping on the line between life and death. It was more nervous than the exam in the academy. If he didn't answer well, the earth would be shaken forever. Nan Jiaojiao could follow her on the couch. He made noise until midnight.

Nan Baoyi snorted softly.

She rolled up her lotus green shawl and wore embroidered pearl-embroidered shoes. She looked like a noble lady from a top class family and stepped out of the bedroom elegantly: "I'm going to have a drink at Cheng's house."

Originally, she wanted to go to Cheng's house with her second brother.

Unfortunately, the court affairs were really busy and he couldn't get away, so she could only go to the banquet alone.

When she passed Xiao Yi, the man held her hand.

He kissed her fingertips that were covered with red cinnamon and warned her, "After the dinner, I will personally come out of the palace to pick you up. You are not allowed to run around."

Nan Baoyi's eyes were like crescent moons, and he put a silk handkerchief on his face: "I know! The second brother is getting more and more nagging. In the future, he will become a white-bearded grandfather. Won't he have to be even more nagging? By then, I will lose all my ears. It’s cocooned!”

Xiao Yi took away the handkerchief and watched her step out of the bedroom.

The girl holds her shawl, her back is graceful, and she walks with a graceful gait.

He didn't look back until her figure completely disappeared outside the bead curtain.

The man's Yingjun eyebrows were even more profound and cold.

He opened the memorial and continued to deal with the affairs of the ten counties in South Vietnam.

He must completely control this land in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can he have the capital to arm-wrestle with that woman and protect his sweetheart in the flashy and dangerous place of Chang'an.

Nan Baoyi took a carriage and soon arrived at Cheng Mansion.

The mansion was brightly lit, and people from the Cheng family were here. After all, they were a well-known scholarly family. Nan Baoyi listened to their conversation, quoting classics and classics, and discussing the present. The topic was not gossip at all, but was only related to learning.

She sat in the waterside pavilion, slowly fanning herself, picked up a green apricot, brought it to her mouth and took a bite, almost making her teeth sore.

"Jiaojiao is so sore?"

Cheng Yimo came over to entertain her and handed her a cup of hot almond tea with a smile.

"Fourth sister-in-law!" Nan Baoyi called enthusiastically.

She took a sip of almond tea, her eyes sparkling, "I heard that women like to eat sour foods when they are pregnant. Fourth sister-in-law has placed a plate of green apricots here. Are you and fourth brother having a baby?"

"How could it be?" Cheng Yimo covered his lips, "They were all fruits prepared by the maid in the palace. I am not pregnant. Your fourth brother's future is important. We discussed that we will wait until he has a stable career and can provide a good raising environment for the child. It’s never too late. Teaching is always more important than students.”

Nan Baoyi nodded in agreement: "That's right. By the way, where is fourth brother?"

Cheng Yimo was also stunned.

She raised her eyes and looked around. The waterside pavilion was bustling everywhere, but there was no sign of Nan Chengshu anywhere.

She sent her maid to look for him, but she came back and reported that she could not find him anywhere.

Cheng Yimo was anxious: "He is too honest. Could it be that he caused trouble outside and was arrested? Could he be beaten to death..."

Nan Baoyi was speechless for a while.

No matter how stupid her fourth brother was, he was probably not stupid enough to be beaten to death.

She could only comfort: "Sister-in-law, don't panic, let's ask someone to go to Nan Mansion to look for her."

Cheng Yimo nodded, but he was still worried and took his maid to look for him in person.

Nan Baoyi was thinking about a few places Nan Chengshu might go, when someone bumped his elbow unexpectedly.

She raised her head and saw that the person who hit her had disappeared.

On the stone table, there was an extra letter.

She opened it.

She was very familiar with the hairpin and small regular script on the letter. It was Nan Yan's handwriting.

Nan Yan said in the letter that Nan Chengshu was kidnapped by her people and tied up in a persimmon forest on the outskirts of the city. She was told not to tell anyone and to go alone within an hour, otherwise she would kill Nan Chengshu directly.

There was also a small seal in the envelope, which was Nan Chengshu's private seal. The seal was even stained with blood.

Her eyebrows jumped and she held the letter tightly.

Nan Yan hated her, she always knew it.

But she never expected that Nan Yan would blackmail Fourth Brother by kidnapping him.

Speaking of killing her fourth brother, Nan Yan and her fourth brother were also cousins ​​connected by blood.

How heartbreaking!

She looked around, her hair on her temples was everywhere, her clothes were fragrant, and she couldn't see where Nan Yan's people were hiding.

She pondered for a moment, then got up and walked to the Cheng Mansion Stables.

Although the letter said not to tell anyone, it would be really stupid to go to Nan Yan's banquet alone, for fear of losing his wife and losing the army.

So she handed the envelope to Yun Xiu and whispered: "Go back to the palace and give this letter to His Highness, and ask him to lead his people to the persimmon forest on the outskirts of the city immediately."

Yunxiu's eyebrows were solemn and he immediately obeyed the order.

Nan Baoyi opened the stable and took out a white horse.

She jumped onto the horse neatly, grabbed the horse's belly, and galloped straight towards the city gate.

She had the badge given by Xiao Yi, so she easily opened the city gate.

After she left, Nanjing appeared with a lantern.

After the Chu royal family was destroyed, he was no longer the eldest son-in-law, and because he failed to curry favor with Xiao Yi, he was demoted here to guard the city gate.

He stared at the girl's retreating back and muttered: "It's so late, why is she out of the city?"

Passing through the majestic city gate, you can see the clear moonlight on a midsummer night. As far as the eye can see, the plains are open, the mountains are crisscrossed, and the post roads winding to the sky, leaving the ancient Shengjing City far away in the moonlight.

An iron lantern hangs in front of the horse's neck, illuminating the blue brick official road.

The night wind whistled past my ears.

The girl's eyebrows were like stars, and she was calculating carefully.

Nan Yan's power is not strong. She can delay as much time as possible in the wild persimmon forest before the second brother arrives, and prevent Nan Yan from harming the fourth brother.

Anyway, it was time for her to end things with Nan Yan.

Although she thought so, when she arrived at the wild persimmon forest, she was still stunned.

The torches were brightly lit, and hundreds of Jinwu Guards stood in the woods like silent stones.

Nan Yan and Fourth Brother were tied up and thrown under a tree.

Shen Yijue, dressed in black, stood with a knife in his hand and looked at her quietly.
