The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 85 Could it be... Do you really want to marry Pei You?

   It was almost late, and the door of the teahouse opened again.

  When Gu Fei saw his eldest son, he hurriedly went up to meet him, and took a peek at him, but he couldn't see why.

  I don't know what exactly I talked with the girl inside, and what the result of the talk was.

  Just looking at him, although he still had a calm and indifferent look, the darkly burning flame in his eyes was finally extinguished.

   This is... settled?

  Even though he was extremely curious, Gu Fei didn't dare to ask, he just followed Pei You out of the teahouse and went to the Ministry of Industry.

  Linglan heard the movement in the teahouse, and immediately came out from the alley, saw Pei You coming out, and paused her pace.

  In order to avoid suspicion, her girl should not go out with him.

   Sure enough, she waited for another cup of tea, the restaurant was open normally, and customers began to come in and out, and Wen Ning quietly came out from inside.

   "Girl." Linglan hurriedly stopped her in a low voice, and quickly walked over, "Why have you stayed inside for so long? Are you hungry? Should we eat at home or outside? Are you still going to the Fushengzui branch?"

  Wen Ning had a severe headache.

  Just calmed down alone in the tea room for a while, but the more I think about it, the more my head becomes a mess, a mess.

  Linglan felt that her head was about to explode when she asked so many questions in a row.

  But she didn't have time to sort out the conversation between her and Pei You, and she didn't have the time to think about whether she was hungry.

   Now she has one thing that urgently needs to be verified.

   "Let's go home first." Wen Ning fastened the tulle on her face, and hurried home with Linglan.

  As soon as she entered the door, the butler asked her where she had been. The master had just looked for her, and those who couldn't see her went to Honglu Temple first. Tell her not to go out in the afternoon, the master has something to say to her when he comes back.

  Wen Ning said yes again and again, turned her head into Xiangtiyuan, took off the makeup on her face, changed into men's clothes and slipped out through the back door.

  As before, she did not bring Linglan to the place of fireworks.

  When he arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion, he took out two ingots of silver with great wealth, and asked to see Yingyao by name.

  The madam fooled her a bit at first, pushing her away from other girls, but Wen Ning added another ingot of silver before she pulled Wen Ning aside, to tell the truth.

"It happened last month. That girl said she wanted to go out to enjoy the cherry blossoms. She didn't come back after she went. I think she ran away with some wild man! Young master, this kind of prodigal woman is not worth thinking about. No…"

  Wen Ning didn't want to listen to what she had to say, so she asked directly: "She is so soft, do you still have the belongings in the house?"

  The madam coughed twice: "Those things were not taken away, she has a conscience, let's use it as her ransom money."

  After coming out of Tianxiang Pavilion, Wen Ning's back felt chills.

  The last time she contacted Yingyao was the second day of the cleansing banquet. She didn't go there in person, instead she paid someone to cook a table of Sichuan specialties for the chef of Tianxiang Pavilion, signaling that it was done, and she would go to Shudi to pick up her younger brother to Beijing as agreed.

  Shu is far away from the capital, and the journey is relatively difficult. Half a month ago, she received the news that they had just entered Shu. The younger brother said that he still had some chores to deal with, and he would return to Beijing with them in early June.

  She didn't tell Yingyao about these things. She wanted to give her a surprise after the matter was settled, but she didn't want to...

  Yingyao has saved a lot of money in the Fireworks Land all these years, if she wants to run away with others, it is impossible for her to take nothing.

  She is such a person who regards money as her life, and she hasn't gone back to pick up her things for more than a month. I'm afraid it's really...

  Wen Ning returned to Wen's mansion with her head downcast.

  If Yingyao was targeted because she broke the behind-the-scenes person at the Xichen Banquet, wouldn't it be... She killed Yingyao?

  Wen Ning was not in the mood to change clothes, and sat slumped in the courtyard of Shanti Courtyard.

  She and Yingyao are not considered friends, even in the previous life, they stayed together in the backyard for many years, and she often went to her yard to make jokes, and they were never friends.

   Ke Yingyao is not a bad person, even in some respects, she is a very tough woman.

  She doesn't feel sorry for her background, doesn't feel inferior because of her experience, and lives frankly and frankly.

  She could have successfully escaped from Tianxiang Pavilion, reunited with her younger brother, and lived the life she had always expected, but all this came to an abrupt end because of her intervention.

  Wen Ning felt a little sad.

  When she did those things, she didn't think so much at all.

  She has lived so carelessly for the past two months, unaware that someone died in an invisible corner.

   "Miss, are you out of the house again?" Linglan saw Wen Ning dressed in a manly outfit, sitting in the yard with her shoulders slumped, unaware that two leaves had fallen from her hair.

   "Go in and change quickly, the master will be angry again when he sees you like this when he comes back." She pulled Wen Ning up and pushed him into the room.

  Wen Ning let out a long sigh, the matter has come to this point, it is useless for her to think too much.

   "What happened to the matter you asked me to inquire about?" Wen Ning held Linglan and made her slow down.

  Before she went out, she sent Linglan to inquire about some things, although on the one hand it was to distract her so that she could go to Tianxiang Pavilion by herself, but what she was asked to inquire about was indeed what she wanted to know.

Linglan stuck to Wen Ning's side, followed her steps and said slowly: "I went to the public to ask. Recently, it has been widely rumored that Prince Pei is going to be engaged to Princess Zhaohe. It is indeed because Princess Zhaohe and the Duke's mansion are frequently walking around. After the prince comes back, , Princess Showa passed by almost every day, but it seems that... all of them were lost."

  Linglan wasn't sure if the news was true, after all, how could it be so easy for a wealthy family like the Duke's Mansion to leak the news?

  But the nuns in the alleys of Chang'an Street, the gossip ability should not be underestimated.

   It seems that there is nothing they don't know.

  Wen Ning pondered with her eyes downcast.

   Could it be because she entered the palace last time and said a lot of good things about Pei You in front of Princess Zhaohe, Princess Zhaohe listened to it all, made up her mind to marry him, and only recently pursued him?

  But he didn't want Pei You to be so firm, he would rather find someone to get married than marry the princess.

  If so, wouldn't she...shoot herself in the foot?

  Wen Ning covered her heart.

"Girl, what happened today?" Linglan couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What did Mr. Pei tell you in the teahouse? I just heard from the butler that the Yan family came to propose marriage this morning with full sincerity. After cross-examination, I feel more satisfied. You and the two young masters informed him before, and he directly agreed. You must not..." Only when you have other thoughts...

  Wen Ning waved her hand, not wanting to hear what she said.

  Headache, she wants to lie down.

  Wen Ning changed her clothes, and lay on the bed in a stable manner, but how could she sleep?

  Before she walked into the teahouse this morning, she never imagined that the final result would be like this.

   When did Pei You stare at her? After finding out about her affairs so clearly, could it be that she and her two elder brothers were found behaving abnormally at the dust-cleaning banquet, and even though they left Beijing, they kept staring at her?

   What he just said in the teahouse, which ones are true and which ones are false?

At one moment he said that she wanted her to marry him to make her unhappy, at another moment he said that she didn't think too much about him, and chose her to marry him for the convenience of Heli in the future; year period.

It was as if he had planned the whole game of chess a long time ago, and all he threw out in front of him was bait, luring her forward step by step, walking according to his preset, and finally getting the result he wanted, as if she had taken a lot of money. It seems cheap.

   Old and cunning!

  Wen Ning turned over angrily.

   But I have to say that his trick works. She wants to stay away from him in this life, but she wants to protect her family even more.

Thinking about it carefully, if she hadn't been worried that she would bump into Pei You when she went out, and suddenly wanted the chef from Tianxiang Pavilion to cook for Yingyao to answer, but even if she sent a letter, would the other party follow the clues and know that the person who ordered Yingyao was actually Is it her Wen Ning?

  Who is that person, who has such a great ability to make Yichunyuan disappear overnight?

  Wen Ning got up from the bed, and immediately wanted to call Linglan, asking her if Wen Tingchun was back.

   Who has offended him and who wants to kill him? Only he himself knows best.

   But before he lifted it up in one breath, he fell down again, and he fell back on the bed, staring blankly at the veil above his head.

   Regardless of whether Wen Tingchun will say it or not, even if he did, so what?

  People can even destroy Yichun Garden quietly. In this capital city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Wen Tingchun is a fourth-rank official with little real power, so if the other party wants to move, it probably won't take much effort.

   And they have no power to parry.

  Could it be... really want to marry Pei You?

  Wen Ning covered her eyes with one hand.

   People are not as good as heaven, what should she do in the current situation?

   Probably because the negotiation with Pei You in the morning was too exhausting, Wen Ning finally fell asleep with her eyes covered, but her heart was hesitant, so she would naturally have some uneasy dreams.

   After a while, she was kneeling and begging Shen Gaolan to save Wen Tingchun, Shen Gaolan sighed and put down the teacup: "This is a big matter, just wait patiently."

   After a while, in the hot and humid cell, Wen Tingchun's pale and stiff body, even a mouse crawled over him.

  Sometimes it was Wen Lan's blood-stained sachet, and another moment it was the last time Wen Qi came to see her before leaving Beijing. The always arrogant person forced a smile and pointed at her nose: "Sister, don't worry, the second brother will come back."

  In the end, I still dreamed about the Xuanping Rebellion.

  Wen Tingchun is here, Wen Lan and Wen Qi are also there, Wen Lan has married He Luan, and even gave birth to a child as lovely as Yan Chu.

  But on the day the rebels broke through the city gate, the capital was stained with blood, and the people were in dire straits. In her dream, she desperately recalled which city gate was easier to get out of the city in her previous life, and which official's family was spared, so that she could take her family to hide for a while.

  But before people could leave the gate, blood-stained barbarians rushed in with big knives, cutting anyone they saw.

   Qin Butler, Linglan, Wen Tingchun, Wen Lan, Wen Qi, He Luan holding the child...

   "No!" Wen Ning woke up from the dream, her back was soaked with wetness, and tears fell immediately.
