375: The so-called husband and wife
At night, a strong wind arose, and dark clouds flowed slowly in the night sky.
It was pitch black all around, and it seemed like a heavy rain was about to fall at any moment.
The room was quiet, and Duran could clearly hear Nanting's breathing.
'Bang...... Bang...... Bang......'
A few more crisp sounds sounded in the darkness, which made Duran nervous again.
Nanting supported Du Lan's body, took a step back, and then knocked on the door panel softly.
'Bang...... Bang...... Bang......'
Duran was trembling violently, and her mind was in turmoil at the moment.
Could it be that these people can't bear it anymore and want to kill them? Or, they want to kill Nanting.
Du Lan was a little scared, she grabbed Nanting's clothes tightly, and subconsciously wanted to hide Nanting behind her.
She thought so, and did so.
Nanting also noticed Duran's movements, and instead of resisting as usual, he obeyed Duran's pull. When he stood behind Duran, it dawned on him that Duran wanted to protect him. So, let him stand behind her.
He was so close to her that he could almost feel the heat coming from her.
"Lord...... It's too late. In the darkness, a hoarse voice rang out, "Lord, please punish you." β
When Duran heard the voice, she was shocked and protected Nanting tighter, but when she heard the words clearly, she was a little stunned.
Lord? Subordinate?
Could it be that this person is actually Nanting's subordinate.
A smile appeared at the corner of Nanting's lips, and then leaned over and said in Duran's ear. "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine."
Duran turned to get a clear picture of Nanting's appearance, but there was not a single candle flame in the room, and the moonlight outside the window had long been hidden by dark clouds. She couldn't see what Nanting's expression was like at the moment.
But what she was sure of was that Nanting was making fun of her again.
"Miss Duran, why did you come to me?" Nanting groped in the dark and stood in front of Du Lan, "Is it Mrs. Chang'an Hou looking for me?" β
Duran is not good at lying, even if she doesn't want to talk to Nanting at all. But it was due to Xia Ruan's orders. She spoke it out anyway. "Madame asked me to invite Nanting Gongzi to dine together."
Nanting's smile instantly froze on his face, as if it was like a plate of fish that had not been gutted at noon. He felt a little uncomfortable, then frowned and said, "I see." Trouble Miss Duran sued Mrs. Chang'an Hou. I'll come later. And also...... Please sΓΉ her. Say what I think about at noon, and give her the results later. β
Duran didn't want to stay in this room for a few more moments, so he didn't say anything to Nanting again. And he went out.
When she got out of the house, Duran remembered that she forgot to ask Nanting who the people in the house were.
Could it be that this person is Nanting's secret guard? At this moment, they have found Nanting, so she and her wife should be able to leave here smoothly?
But the next moment, Du Lan thought again, this courtyard was surrounded by people arranged by cinnabar, these people were not bad at martial arts, how could they let them leave smoothly.
The more Du Lan thought about it, the more confused her mind became, and her steps on her feet were fast, and she soon walked to Xia Ruan's house.
At this time, Xia Ruan was still stunned by the faint candlelight.
Duran stepped closer and interrupted Xia Ruan's train of thought, "Madam? β
Xia Ruan regained his senses, looked at Du Lan with his eyes in his eyes and asked, "What about the prince of Nanting?" β
Du Lan said everything that Nanting asked her to convey, and at the end, Du Lan was a little hesitant in her words, and she didn't explain the process of her going to Nanting clearly.
Xia Ruan saw Du Lan's hesitation, so he didn't ask in detail.
Seeing that Xia Ruan didn't ask, Du Lan felt a little guilty, and she was just about to open her mouth to explain, when she met Nanting's subordinates in the house, she heard footsteps from outside the house.
Duran turned around and saw Nanting groping his way over, his skin looking very fair and transparent under the dim candlelight.
"Mrs. Chang'anhou, I'm late." Nanting walked into the room, and then slowly groped for a chair to sit down, "I'm really sorry." β
Xia Ruan shook his head with a smile, "The prince of Nanting is polite. β
Outside the house, the dark clouds swept away quickly, and half of the moonlight could not be seen at this time.
The rain did not fall, but the wind was lighter.
Seeing that Xia Ruan and Nanting were going to talk, Du Lan retreated from the house.
She closed the door and stood guard outside.
It's not as safe as she thought it would be......
In the room, Xia Ruan got up and fiddled with the wick, and then said to Nanting, "Nanting Gongzi, try these dishes, these dishes must taste good." β
"Mrs. Chang'an Hou has tasted it?" Nanting looked surprised, and seemed to be a little unwilling to touch the food on the table, "I...... I don't need to. β
Nanting still remembers the food he used today, and the pungent fishy smell made him feel uncomfortable. He hasn't suffered all these years, but he really has never used that kind of food. Nanting moved the chair back a bit, "Thank you Mrs. Chang'an Hou for your kindness." β
Xia Ruan fiddled the wick, and the light of the candle flame was no longer as faint as it was just now.
Nan Ting's eyes were covered with shark silk yarn, and although he could see the qiΔ around him, his vision would be much weaker than that of ordinary people. The candles in the room were brighter, and he could read the dishes on the table.
After Xia Ruan was done, he sat back on the chair, "This is a dish in the palace, and ordinary people can't taste it." Perhaps, the imperial dining room in the palace can't make such a delicacy. β
As soon as the words fell, Nanting couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Xia Ruan obviously had something to say.
"What do you mean?" Nanting's eyes flickered slightly, "In the palace? β
Xia Ruan nodded, and then let out a long sigh of relief, "Cinnabar Boy seems to be in a good mood and wants us to eat better dishes." The cook he specially invited was an old lady in the palace in the past. I met this old lady in the palace. β
"Heh, Mrs. Chang'an Hou has a good memory." Nanting sneered slightly, "There are so many old ladies in the palace. How can you remember her? β
Nanting didn't know why, Xia Ruan's words always made him feel that it was a bureau.
So when he spoke, he also revealed an unkind tone.
Nanting himself obviously didn't realize this, and couldn't help but add, "Mrs. Chang'an Hou, I once said that knowing too much is not a good thing. The Marquis of Chang'an protects you very well, so don't let him down on your kindness. β
After Nanting finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks that were put aside. He took a bite of the food that was placed not far from him.
The dishes are fragrant in the mouth. Nanting couldn't help but take another bite.
The dish was delicious, and the fish he tasted during the day was completely heaven and earth.
Nan Ting realized Xia Ruan's words. It all seems to be true.
His tone just now. It's so unfriendly......
He turned his eyes to look at Xia Ruan. There was some apology in the words, "I...... That, I'm sorry. β
Nanting obviously didn't have much trust in Xia Ruan. He would trust Xiao Jiu because they had been born and died together.
He wanted to continue to listen to Xia Ruan what he had just said, but Xia Ruan seemed to have listened to him and stopped talking.
Xia Ruan's eating movements were very slow and elegant, and her calm appearance made Nanting a little anxious.
Xia Ruan's words just now were only half of what he said, if the cook sent by his trouble-loving brother was a person from the palace, then did it mean that a qiΔ in the palace had been mastered by Cinnabar.
Nanting rubbed his forehead, and the thought of his younger brother Cinnabar made him feel a headache.
However, Xia Ruan's 'docile' appearance in front of him made him have more headaches.
"Mrs. Chang'anhou, what did you just say...... The person who brought the dishes was the old lady in the palace? Nanting thought about it, but still mustered up the courage to ask, "Is she from that palace?" β
Xia Ruan raised his head, and a stunned look appeared on his kind face, "Didn't the prince of Nanting tell me that it's not a good thing to know too much?" β
"I ......" Nanting didn't expect Xia Ruan to block him with such words, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
The room was quiet again.
Xia Ruan ate the dishes on the table, Du Lan had already seen them just now, these dishes were not poisonous, so she was very relieved to eat.
But it's obviously a delicious thing, but Nanting doesn't know the taste of the food.
He felt that the woman in front of him was simply too difficult to understand.
After Xia Ruan finished his meal, he put down the chopsticks in his hand.
She looked at Nanting seriously and said softly, "Sometimes, I don't want to know a little less, so that I can live by my husband and live the life of an ordinary woman." But my husband is Nan Xiao's only bloodline now, and his identity is destined to make his future road not smooth. If I am a little stupid and know a little less, then I will become a burden to him, a weakness to him. I don't want to be his Achilles' heel...... Therefore, when his road is not smooth, if I can't help him, the only thing I hope is that I can accompany him, and this is husband and wife. β
From the moment she married Nan Xiao, she knew that the smooth life she wanted was impossible to have anymore.
The so-called smooth and stable life needs to be created by her and Xiao Jiu together.
There is no road in the world that is smooth, and those thorny roads must be gritted their teeth to get through.
She will always be there for him, whether happy or sad, gain or loss.
This is husband and wife.
They are one.
After Nanting heard Xia Ruan's words, he smiled dumbly, "You really know how to speak." β
These words seemed familiar to him.
Someone, once said something like this to him.
It's just that that person, because he's too stupid, is no longer there.
"Mrs. Chang'anhou, you are very similar to someone I know." Nanting smiled faintly, a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes, "However, there are a few places where you are not very similar." β
The more Nanting wanted to smile, the stronger he became, "I can take you away, but I have to wait another five days." There are too many guards guarding this courtyard, and it will be very dangerous if we want to leave now. We have to discuss this matter slowly......" (to be continued......
