Tu Manfen was shy, and her hand caressed her heart, calming the chaotic breath. She clung to the bulkhead so she could barely hold on and not fall.

His voice was heard: "Manfen, don't call yourself a folk girl in front of me, it will make me lose control." ”

He took her name for granted, but Tu Manfen couldn't afford to resist. He only nodded slightly.

"I like you, I want to marry you. Wang Leyu's voice was very firm: "What I like is you, it has nothing to do with whether you have ever been married or not." ”

His confession was very plain, but in such a cold autumn night, Tu Manfen felt unusually warm.

This is the first time that a man has confessed to her so seriously. She raised her head and saw that under the starlight, his ordinary but solemn face softened a little, and his eyes conveyed firm determination.

She was flustered, and there was some secret joy.

"I ...... You make me think about it. Throwing this sentence down, she hurried away.

Behind her, Wang Leyu smiled suddenly. He reminisced about the fragrance between his lips and teeth, and his smile showed unprecedented confidence and determination.

Tu Manfen hurriedly entered the cabin, and Yinping looked at her and asked a little strangely, "Why is Miss's face so red?"

She hurriedly put her hand on her face, and it was really hot.

"It's okay, maybe the wind is blowing. Tu Manfen hurriedly changed the subject, "Is the hot water coming?" ”

Yinping nodded, wrung the towel that cleaned her face, and wiped it carefully for her.

After freshening up, Tu Manfen lay down on the bed.

But this night, she was destined to toss and turn. Holding her hand against her heart, the scene that had happened on the deck before kept reproducing in her mind, lingering.

Wang Leyu's smile, eyes, and his powerful hands appeared in front of her in turn. For now, although she was lying alone on the bed, she still felt imprisoned by him in her arms, powerless to break free.

……

Wu Zhengxiang's ship was also heading north, and he was alone and faster.

In less than ten days, he got off the boat from the Jizhou wharf. This is the last stop of Yongji Canal, and if you go further, you have to change to the land route.

After getting off the boat, he rushed to the horse market in Jizhou. I picked a good horse with good stamina and went away without stopping.

In half a month to rush to the designated Yizhou, he had to do it without stopping.

This set of calculation techniques for time is exactly the same as the trick of kidnapping Xu Wenyu and luring Xu Wanzhen to the appointment alone.

arrested Xu Wenyu at the beginning, and led Xu Wanzhen to be fooled. Now I have arrested Xu Wanzhen and been fooled. It's just a repetition, but he has to agree.

Just like Xu Wanzhen can't let Xu Wenyu go, he can't let her suffer alone.

Riding a horse and galloping on the road, Wu Zhengxiang's eyes were like knives and his heart was as cold as iron. With such a trick, do you think that I have no time to lay out? It's too naïve!

Whoever you are, I won't let you go!

……

With Ah Da's departure, Xu Wanzhen gained more freedom. The old servant really called the You Fang Langzhong to come to see him, but the most unsightly illness in the world is pretending to be sick.

You Fanglang shook his head and left, and the mute woman became more and more satisfied with Xu Wanzhen's performance. I often listen to her tell some interesting stories about children, and let her sit in the yard for a while.

The mute woman and the two women in the room accepted the tangerines she handed them naturally.

In the past few days, Xu Wanzhen has been quietly accumulating strength and relaxing the vigilance of the three of them. She already knew that this was Hengzhou, which, as she judged, was located in Hebei Province.

Touching the golden beans sewn on her belly pocket, she slowly had an idea in her heart. It's not difficult to get out, but with this face, how can she escape the other party's search and hide in the city is the question she is thinking about.

Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she was the most cooperative hostage in the world.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion next door. It was the sound of people coming and going, as if a lot of people had suddenly come and gone, coming in and out.

Xu Wanzhen recalled the impression she had collected before, and there was an empty house next door. She originally estimated that maybe it was this that was the reason why the other party chose the small courtyard where she lives now.

She didn't even move her eyelids, but she was silently thinking in her heart that maybe it was an opportunity.

Naturally, the mute woman knew about such a big movement. After going out, he turned back and entered the door, and made a few gestures to indicate that he would step up guarding.

The two sturdy women nodded in understanding.

But what they didn't know was that Xu Wanzhen seemed to be asleep, but she was actually listening intently to the movement next door. She has extraordinary eyesight and hearing, which she has not told anyone except Wu Zhengxiang.

……

"How many days are we going to stay here?" asked Tu Manfen.

Since the last kiss on the boat, she hasn't talked about the return trip. Wang Leyu also kept silent, and only told her the next schedule.

He didn't want to push Tu Manfen too hard, she was like a frightened rabbit. If you push too hard, you will inevitably retract back down the rabbit hole and never show your head again.

"Out of the western suburbs of here, there's a hill full of cotton trees that you want to see. Wang Leyu's voice contained a hint of imperceptible tenderness, "I just inquired when I was outside, and the cotton was already picked in September." ”

"Taken bare?" Tu Manfen looked at him incredulously and asked, "What else do you take me to see after you take it off?"

Even if she looked at her like this, Wang Leyu didn't show any embarrassment. Before he came, he knew that the cotton had been plucked.

He spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this." I'm just a member of the criminal department, and I don't know anything about farming. ”

Tu Manfen was stunned for a moment, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, I blamed you." ”

Wang Leyu snickered in his heart, but said with a serious face: "I thought that even if I picked it off, I could go and see it." Those farmers must still have cotton in their hands, and we can also see how they spin and peel the seeds. ”

"So, need to stay here a few more days. You think it's almost there, let's go again. ”

Wang Leyu wanted to spend more time with her, so that she could slowly get used to her existence. It's not enough to be on a boat, he has to have a house, and even if he lives in the outer courtyard, he can create a sense of home.

Tu Manfen didn't think about it so much, but Yinping asked: "Lord Wang, we live in the inner courtyard temporarily." I apologize for you to pick up the lady at the second door every day. ”

The house was a merchant's property, with a housekeeper and a housekeeper who sprinkled and swept the house. In the merchant's absence, the steward rented out the house and collected some extra money.
