Chapter 18: A Bolt from the Skies (1)
The night became darker and deeper, and the goose feathers and snow fell from the winter sky and fell into the already slightly cold heart. Qi Niang was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room, and Gu's mother was relieved from time to time, but the expressions of the two of them were a little anxious and couldn't be hidden.
After Yan Luoyan left during the day, Yan Xie personally went to Qi Niang's courtyard again, and the worry in his words was very obvious. After all, if Wang Shilang really took his life, then the Yan family would be more or less affected.
To put it mildly, this is just Wang Shilang's unintentional move, but to put it mildly, it was Wang Shilang who rode on the street and killed innocent people!
After all, that old man is not a slave who is not controlled by himself in the life and death of the palace, but an innocent person in the official record, his life and death, but not the Wang family has the final say, let alone Wang Shilang, plus there were many pedestrians on the street yesterday, if this matter is really true, then Wang Shilang can't escape, and he can't escape, and Qi Niang......
This era is an era when gossip can kill.
And Yan Xie's words also revealed a meaning, that is, the marriage contract between the two will be variable, and marry a person who disregards the lives of innocent people, and those who know righteousness will say that Yan Fu is loyal and righteous, even if Wang Shilang is not good, he will continue to marry; Those who don't know righteousness will only say that Wang Shilang has ruined people's lives, and the Yan Mansion still wants to marry him, isn't it that the two families have the same mind, and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people?
If this is the case, then the name that Yan Mansion has maintained for a hundred years will really not be maintained.
Yan Zheng, as the head of the family, would not let the ancestors of the Yan family who had worked hard for hundreds of years to clear their reputation be ruined here by Qi Niang, even if it was his favorite daughter, but compared to the interests of the family, it was insignificant.
Gu's mother looked at the anxious Qi Niang worriedly, in fact, what Yan Xie said she had already thought of, but she just thought that the matter was still inconclusive, and she was afraid that Qi Niang would be worried, so she didn't mention it to her, but she didn't want Yan Xie to come to comfort her in person.
"It seems...... The head of the house has already made up his mind......"
Gu's mother believes that as long as Wang Shilang's matter is decided, she is afraid that there will be twists and turns in the marriage between the two, but these words are ...... She looked at Qi Niang walking back and forth, but she couldn't say anything.
Qi Niang has been a childhood sweetheart with Wang Shilang since she was a child, if she knows that the master has already made a conclusion, I am afraid that she will be even more unbearable!
Gu's mother thought of it with worry, and in the end, she could only sigh, "Perhaps, there is a turning point...... Gu's mother comforted herself so much, and she couldn't help but look out with Qi Niang, looking forward to coming back as soon as possible, so that people's hearts can be calm.
As for Qi Niang herself, she didn't expect so much, after all, she grew up with Yan Zheng on the tip of her heart since she was a child, even if she was smart and knew things, but no one taught her, where did she know the crooks of the clan.
She is now only worried about Wang Shilang's situation, in her opinion, if it is rumors from the outside world, it will be fine, but the arrival of Yan Xie made her a little panicked, "Mother came in person, isn't it...... Is it really as rumored ...... the outside world? ”
Qi Niang couldn't help but think of it in her heart, and then quickly shook her head, denying her guess, and was even more worried in her heart, looking forward to coming back as soon as possible.
She would never have thought that Wang Shilang, who she had been worried about, had already arrived in Xiyuan at this moment and took other women into her arms......

The little girl carefully added a lamp to the side of the dealer, watching her gently pick up the moonlong yarn, embroidering the pattern with a needle and thread, and after a while, a small light blue flower jumped up, as if the wild flower fell inadvertently, and it seemed to fall with a slight shake.
The little girl couldn't help but admire, "It's so beautiful!" ”
The dealer smiled softly, listened to the little girl's heartfelt admiration, and hammered the sore shoulder due to the long-term bowing, "You girl, such an exaggeration, when you learn my craft in the future, you will embroider better than this."
"Master, can I really embroider so well?" The little girl looked at the dealer with a pair of bright eyes, full of disbelief and excitement.
"Of course......" the dealer said softly, and then buried himself in his work.
The little girl smiled, turned to the back of the dealer, and carefully pounded her shoulders, and the room fell into silence, leaving only the pair of gurgling eyes and the rustle of the dealer's hands.
After a while, the little girl secretly glanced at the dealer's house, glanced at the shirt in her hand, scratched her head, and looked puzzled, seeing that the dealer was concentrating on embroidery, she glanced at the direction of the other rooms on the left without a trace, and scratched her head again.
That delicate look makes it difficult for the dealer to ignore it.
"What's wrong again?" The dealer put down the work in his hand and looked at the distressed little girl helplessly.
"Master......"
"Huh?"
"I have a question......
"Say!"
"That ......" The little girl seemed to like to scratch the back of her head, but this time she was slapped by the dealer before her hand went up, "Speak well!" ”
"Oh......", the little girl agreed, her eyes gurgling, and her face was cautious, "Master...... Why did you give Miss Nine's clothes to Uncle Shi to make, but you had to stay up all night to make Miss Seven? Why don't you ask other uncles for help? Look, your eyes have been sore for two days......"
The dealer's originally smiling face became solemn because of the little girl's words, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly swallowed the words back into her stomach.
Half-ringing, the dealer sighed, as if explaining for the little girl, and as if persuading herself, "Miss Seven treats me well, I can't live up to ......"
The little girl waited quietly for a long time, and when she saw that the dealer finished saying this, she stopped making a sound, and scratched her forehead in confusion, but she didn't dare to disturb her master again this time, so she had to be alone on the side......
Seeing the dealer's waist that has become more and more rickety due to the rush of work in the past few days, my heart is sour, although I don't understand what my master is saying, but the little girl can also feel that she is in a bad mood, but she is more and more careful to knead for her.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, almost blowing out the candle next to the dealer, so frightened that the little girl hurriedly ran to the door, with a smiling body against the door, but did not dare to move again, leaving only a pair of big eyes that were spinning around and continued to look at her master in confusion and distress.
And the gauze skirt became more and more agile in the hands of the dealer......
