Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Women of Ximenqing
"Master, that Pan Jinlian was originally the maid of the Zhang family, a big family in Qinghe County, and she was outstanding since she was a child, and she was favored by Zhang Dahu and wanted to accept her as a concubine, but somehow, she actually refused his entanglement, and the housewife of the Zhang family probably had some jealousy and hatred for her, so she got a dowry at random and married her to Wuda, who had only met once. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
"They were in Qinghe County, and they also made a living selling cooking cakes, and later, Pan Jinlian got into a life lawsuit, which was the murder of the Li family in Qinghe County. Later, it was found out that it was actually his wife who did it, so she was acquitted. Later, they moved to Yanggu County. Ma Rong told the news one by one.
Ximen Qing was dressed in red as usual, half-lying and half-sitting on the mahogany couch, playing with a string of green beads in his hand, his face seemed to be smiling, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with unknown light, lazy, handsome, but full of danger.
"You just said that Li Dafu was killed and was able to find out the truth, but she actually contributed to it?"
"Yes, according to the people in the hall at the time, this Pan Jinlian didn't know what to do, and actually asked Li Dafu's body to point out the person who killed him, that is, Mrs. Li, at that time, Wu Xianling and others couldn't, so they had to acquit her. โ
"Oh," a faint smile appeared on Ximenqing's face, "Interesting, this woman seems to have a lot of secrets hidden in her!"
Ma Rong shook his head and said, "Master, I always feel that this woman is a little dangerous. โ
"The more dangerous things are, the more interested I am. Ximen Qing said casually, this woman has aroused his interest anyway, he is worried that he is extremely bored these days, and wants to have some fun, no, someone sent it to the door.
However, thinking of the fact that she was already a wife, Ximenqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Do you think she is willing? marry such a three-inch ding?" Hmph," Ximenqing said slowly, a woman so beautiful and amorous should be very unwilling to marry such an ugly man, but why is her eyes so peaceful?
He didn't feel a trace of resentment from her, and he was quite confident in his appearance, no woman could resist his **, but she behaved very normally, especially when she released her charm intentionally or unintentionally, but there was no response.
"What if you are unwilling? They have already become relatives, as long as Wu Da does not stop her, she will always be tied to him!" Ma Rong said.
"Hehe, you don't understand a woman's heart too much, if she is willing, no restraint can stop her footsteps, you have followed the master for so many years, haven't you seen it?"
Ma Rong's eyes flashed, what his grandfather said also made sense, as long as a woman dedicates her heart, even if she becomes a parent? Just like the lady in this courtyard, isn't it because she fell in love with the master, abandoned her self-esteem, and married the master with the family property?
At this time, there were thin footsteps outside the door, and Ximenqing motioned for Ma Rong to open the door. He still looked lazy, lying on the couch and suddenly closing his eyes.
The door opened, and Li Bei'er, who was covered with a water-colored light gauze and a white skirt inside, had a thin body, and looked as elegant as a blooming water lotus, and walked in with a tray frequently.
"Second Madam, are you here?" Ma Rong only glanced at it, then lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Hmm," Li Bei'er only glanced at him faintly, and then turned her gaze to the man on the couch, her eyes were affectionate, focused and enthusiastic.
"Master," she called softly, walked to the couch with her carefully boiled ginseng soup, put the tray on the table, and turned her head to see Ma Rong standing there like a wooden stake, and said with a somewhat unhappy face, "I have something to tell Master, you should step back first!"
"Yes," Ma Rong didn't look up, his body quickly retreated to the door, and then closed the door.
Li Bei'er sat down next to Ximenqing, looking at his handsome face, she couldn't help but reach up, gently touching his skin, the slight tingling sensation under the palm of her hand made her lose her mind instantly, and suddenly held her right hand with one hand, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Ximenqing's burning eyes staring at her.
"Why, the person who sent me out, saying that there was something important, is it just looking at me in a daze, huh?" The hot breath in his mouth instantly turned half of Li Bei'er's face red.
Li Bei'er held back the throbbing in her heart, raised her eyes, looked at Ximenqing, and said softly, "Master, it's not because you haven't been in my room for a few days, Ping'er misses you, if you don't go to me, I can only come to you." โ
Looking at the grievances in her eyes, Ximenqing gently grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, "Ye has too many business things in the past few days, wronged Ping'er, don't worry, after a few days, Ye will take you to the Grand Canal for a boat, when the time comes, you can go wherever you want, Ye will accompany you for twelve hours a day, how about it?"
Listening to his low and slightly charming words, Li Bei'er suddenly felt that her grievances in the past few days had suddenly disappeared, and she snuggled in his warm arms, just thinking that she could grow old at this moment.
"Official, official, official, isn't the official back, Ma Rong, what am I doing in my way? I'm going to find the official. There was a commotion outside, and Ximenqing's eyes flashed with anger, and he gently helped Ping'er up and patted her on the shoulder.
A hint of gloom flashed in Li Bei'er's eyes, this woman, if she doesn't come sooner or later, she just came here at this time to destroy her good deeds, which is really hateful.
At this time, the door was slammed open, and the eldest lady Wu Yueniang had already walked in, her eyebrows and eyes were more dignified, and she was wearing a water-red dress, which had a unique style.
When she saw the displeasure on Ximenqing's face, her eyes shrunk, but she was quickly replaced by jealousy, probably sensing Ximenqing's gaze, she quickly lowered her face and said, "Official, I thought you weren't at home, no, the people from the grain shop outside came to talk to you about something, so I rushed over to take a look." โ
"Ping'er, you go back first, I'll look for you in the evening," Ximenqing instructed indifferently, he stood up and walked out, when he walked to Wu Yueniang's side, he only whispered, "There will be a next time, and I will not be spared." โ
The two women looked at each other thoughtfully, then turned their heads away, and at the same time looked at the man's back, both with a hint of resentment and anticipation on their faces.
