Chapter 042: The Song Clan's Secret
I don't know if Yinzhen is really busy, or if he is still worried about Yinzhen. After that day, he told me that I would no longer have to go to the study, and I would resume my idle days in the inner courtyard.
When people are idle, their minds are especially easy to think about things. I was half-leaning on the couch with my book, but my mind had already returned to that day. Yinzhen's kiss is so deeply rooted in my heart, I want to care about it, but I always think of it inadvertently.
It was my first kiss, both in this and then. I've never had such a close contact with people, even the one buried in my heart.
Fingers involuntarily touched the place where Yinzhen's lips had touched, and there seemed to be still his temperature remaining.
Thinking back to that day, the slight coldness of his lips when they first touched made me frightened, I tried to break free, but I also taboo him to deepen his suspicion of Yinyu and not dare to be too intense, his hands against his chest, feeling the domineering when his hands were clamped, led by his skillful skills from shallow to deep, the heart uncontrollably rose warm and throbbing, and this faint and indescribable desire, such instinctive changes made me uneasy and shy. My body shuddered as his hand wandered around my waist.
Just when I thought that something was going to happen, Yinzhen's movements stopped abruptly in time, suddenly let go of the hands that clamped my waist, got up and straightened my clothes, and said with his back to me: "You go back, you don't have to come to the study tomorrow to serve."
I couldn't see Yinzhen's expression, and I couldn't hear the emotions in the words. The huge contrast between the front and back made my heart chill. I didn't say anything, just bowed down without saying a word, and left in a trance.
The days passed like this, and the Ulanala clan still said that he was exempt from the morning and dusk provinces, and the Li clan was still grounded to raise the fetus. The fruits and vegetables in my garden are also growing well, and Yunhui's injuries are mostly healed. Everything is too calm, and this kind of calm makes people feel unreal, like the calm before the storm, oppressive and unbearable.
In October, the weather is getting colder. On this day, the Ulanala clan suddenly sent a message to summon him.
Since Yunhui's incident, I have kept a distance from this housewife and deliberately distanced myself. Although she frequently courted and courted, she was politely dealt with by me with due courtesy, and she may have seen my thoughts, and such courtesy gradually became less. So this summons was particularly abrupt, and I don't know why, so I can only deal with it carefully.
I changed into my proper clothes, and let Wanqing accompany me, and came to the garden of the Ulanala clan, and this time without any difficulty, I went into the house without any difficulty. Ulanala sat on the couch, still in that calm and gentle manner, with a soft smile on his face, and after I saw the ceremony, he was busy looking at the tea on the seat, and chattered without saying a word.
In the past few days of entering the mansion, I have seen some of the scheming of the Wulanala clan. In the face of her aimless chatter, I felt even more bottomless, and I felt as tormented and anxious as sitting on pins and needles.
I don't know how long later, Mama Yu, who was close to the Ulanala clan, walked in with a tray with two brocade boxes on the tray. She rested the tray on the couch table and exchanged a meaningful glance with her back to me and the Ulanala clan.
Ulanala picked up one of the brocade boxes with his eyes and opened it, and said to me: "I called my sister here today, originally to relieve boredom through gossip. Coincidentally, the palace sent a new incense powder. Thinking about the side of Fujin, it is not suitable to use incense when she is pregnant, and I heard that my sister has never liked strong incense, so she specially left two boxes of light flavors. One box is for Sister Geng, and the other box is for Sister Geng to send to the Song family. Anyway, in the house now, only the two of you are the same, the master is not often in the house, and her place is also a little colder, so you and her should move around more. “
I listened to Wulanala's words, looked at the two boxes of incense, and felt uneasy, but then I thought about it, these two boxes of things should have been sent from the palace, she dared to let me take it out from here so clearly, and there was Wanqing who had served by Yinzhen's side to look at it, presumably there would not be something added to it. I just asked me to send it to the Song family in person, I don't know what I thought.
couldn't guess the deep meaning of the Wulanala clan, so she had to accept the order according to her intentions, and walked to the garden where the Song clan was with the incense powder.
From the first day I met the Song family to the present, I felt that this woman's temperament was a little unspeakably weird, and the girl named Su Rui next to her was not a good person, so I never crossed paths with her again.
It is only a five-minute journey from the garden of the Ulanala clan to the garden of the Song clan. As soon as he entered the garden, he saw Song's close attendant greet him.
This chamberlain was something I hadn't seen before, and I didn't care if there was such a person at the time. This time, in addition to feeling raw, I also felt that there was something indescribable strange in his expression.
The chamberlain saluted me politely and said, "Just now, the master of Fujin sent someone to say that Geng Gege is coming over, but it just so happened that my family Gege was a little unwell and was resting in the inner room, so he asked the servant to wait outside, saying that if Gege came, there was no need to go in." ”
I always felt that something was wrong with his remarks, but I couldn't say it, so I had to respond and walk to the front of the house with Wanqing, who was holding something.
As soon as I reached the door of the house, my steps suddenly stopped, my body stiffened, and I stood on the stone steps in front of the door. Wanqing behind me noticed my strangeness and stood still, wanting to ask a question, but then pursed her lips, her eyes widened, and she didn't dare to move and looked at me in horror, with a plea for help and despair in her eyes.
The layout of Song's house is similar to mine. Entering the house from the outside, you can see a carved hanging window with curtains separating the hall from the inner bedroom, which is also covered by a screen outside the carved box bed.
Wanqing and I were standing two steps away from the door, and although we couldn't see the inside of the house, we could clearly hear the unusual noises and unusually suppressed moans in the room, as well as the heavy gasps and blushing murs of the two from time to time.
Because it was daytime, there were usually few people who came to the Song family's garden, and there were attendants waiting outside, so the gate was not hidden, so I walked to the door defenselessly, until I noticed something unusual, but I couldn't get out easily.
I didn't have the heart to think much about who was with her, but I was quickly thinking about what this matter meant to me.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and since someone has set up a situation for me to bump into this, they must want to involve me. This kind of thing is a great shame for a man in any era. What's more, a strong man like Yinzhen, once the East Window incident happens, not only will the Song family and that person die, but even me and Wanqing will inevitably be angry together.
Even if Wanqing and I won't be exposed to it, we can't escape the result of being dealt with secretly. And all my past mistakes will be his reason for dealing with me.
Even if I could have escaped death, I would have been a thorn in his throat to him. As long as he sees me, he will think of the humiliation that the Song family brought him, then I am afraid that the only thing that awaits me in the next days is life is better than death.
At this moment, I suddenly understood that all this was probably a game for the Ulanala clan to sit down. She should have already known about the Song family's affair with others, and even the chamberlain is probably her person, today's matter must be to calculate the time to wait for me to enter the game, and now even if I quit, I have a handle in her hands, and I can only be at her mercy when the time comes.
Wanqing and I stood still for a short time, but at this moment, it felt like a century had passed for both of us, and I felt the cold sweat behind my back soaking my clothes, and the wind blowing a chill to the bone.
I looked at Wanqing and motioned for her to throw away the tray in her hand. Wanqing is not stupid, she suddenly understood what I meant, and simply fought to the death, screaming "ah" and throwing the tray to the ground.
The tray fell to the ground, and the brocade box fell heavily to the ground, and the incense powder inside spilled all over the ground. I scolded angrily: "What's the matter, this is something sent from the palace, the master of Fujin specially explained that he wanted to send it to Song Gege in person, and now it has been overturned by you, how can I explain to the master of Fujin and Song Gege!"
Wanqing cried and begged for mercy: "Gege forgive me, just now a worm crawled on the slave's hand, and the slave let go as soon as he was scared, the slave should die, the slave should die......"
"Where did the insects come from in the winter, you make mistakes and dare to quibble, I think you are a person with a lot of eyes on weekdays, seeing that you are the person sent by the master's side, I will indulge you and rely on you, you are good but have nothing to do to block me. See that I don't tear your mouth apart. After speaking, he held back the reluctance in his heart and stepped forward to give Wanqing a slap.
This is a matter of life, so naturally he didn't retract his strength, and Wanqing's cheeks suddenly became red and swollen. Wanqing understood that I was trying to save the lives of the two of them, even if I was wronged, I also accepted it, so she just knelt down and cried: "Gege, it's really an insect, it hasn't snowed yet, and the grass and trees in Song Gege's courtyard are lush and tight, I'm afraid that the smell of the incense powder is too strong, and it has attracted insects that haven't survived the winter...... Minions deserve to die, minions shouldn't lose their hands because of a bug......"
Wanqing cried and defended, and while I pretended to reprimand the people in the house for delaying time, I carefully judged the movement in the house in order to be measured. I only heard the silence in the house first, then the sound of getting up and cleaning up, and after a while, Su Rui walked out of the house, and when she saw me, her eyes flashed with panic, and then she immediately returned to her former fierceness, and scolded Wanqing: "What kind of mourning is it that we cry in the courtyard in broad daylight?"
After speaking, he blessed me and said, "Geng Gege is here today, which play is this?"
Her movements seemed normal, but I noticed the reluctance and perfunctory nature of her movements. After a quick glance, I saw a faint red mark on her neck. Even though she tried her best to maintain a normal voice and demeanor, a closer look could still reveal an unusual aura and look.
I immediately understood who the other person with the Song family was, but I didn't dare to show too much, softened my face, glared at Wanqing angrily, and said to Su Rui: "Today, the palace sent a newly made incense powder to the courtyard of the master of Fujin, and it happened that I was called by the master of Fujin to speak, and the master of Fujin asked me to send it to Song Gege here, and by the way, I walked around with Song Gege more, but I didn't expect that as soon as I walked here, her useless minion knocked things over, and said that there were bugs." ”
Speaking of this, his eyes turned red and he pretended to choke up aggrievedly: "In this mansion, only Song Gege is the same as me, and he is older than me." Originally, when I entered the house, I wanted to move around more, and I had a good response, but since I entered the house, I haven't had peace, so I didn't dare to come to this courtyard to make trouble for Song Gege, and now I finally have the opportunity to move around, but I was embarrassed by this girl, Song Gege was only afraid that I still felt that I was insincere, and deliberately blocked her......"
After speaking, with the tears that slipped down, he covered his lips and sobbed.
Geng Gege said this out of sight. During the play, Song also cleaned himself up and walked out of the house. Her face still had a crimson color that had not yet faded, and there was a delicate charm between her eyebrows and eyes that even she was afraid she was not aware of.
"Sister Song......" saw her come out, and deliberately used the word "sister" to close the distance with her, wanting to dispel her doubts, pouted and bowed her head and saluted, and called softly.
"I know about these things that my sister encountered after entering the house, but unfortunately I was soft-spoken and didn't help anything. Now that my sister can be safe and sound, there will be blessings in the future, and it is good to be able to come and move around, as for the things sent by the master of Fujin, I am not feeling well today, and I did not come out to meet it, which is also my fault. Now that I have fallen, I have fallen, don't tighten, anyway, I don't like to use rouge powder, sister don't take it to heart. This aunt didn't mean it, and her sister had already punished her, so she didn't have to be harsh. Song was still humble and gentle, and said with a polite smile.
"I heard from the waiter in the courtyard just now that my sister was sick, and it was windy at the door, so my sister still hurried to rest. I don't have the interest to talk about this matter this time, so I don't want to wait for my sister to get better, and my sister will bother me again. "I followed Song's words and found a chance to get out.
It was estimated that the Song family didn't want me to stay longer, so he followed my words and called the waiter to send me and Wanqing out of the garden.
Walking on the way back to my yard, I said to Wanqing: "You have been wronged today, but if you want to live, you must remember that you have never heard of anything today, and you can't mention it to anyone, especially the master, and you must not leak the slightest breath, understand?"
Wanqing nodded and said: "The slave only knows that today it was the slave who accidentally knocked over the incense powder sent to Song Gege by the master of Fujin because he was afraid that the insects, and nothing else." ”
I understand that Wanqing is a smart person, otherwise she wouldn't have cooperated with me to play such a bitter trick of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, but I still feel unsteady, and I always feel that this matter is not the end, but the beginning of another mess.
