The emotions that crossed Qu Ning's face at that moment contained sourness, disbelief, gloom, sadness, and all kinds of complications made the man next to her faintly moved: obviously she was his wife, but maybe at this time, her feelings for her maid were deeper than for him, right? After all, it was the first time in days that he had seen negativity on her face.

Tang Shaoshuai's heartstrings seemed to be plucked by a nameless hand, and the words that originally came to his mouth were also swallowed back by himself, he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Don't worry too much, it doesn't have to be the person next to you, maybe it's our backyard, or someone around me is undecided." At the beginning of saying this, he was slightly stagnant because of the relationship that violated his original intention, but now that he had opened his mouth, it was about a broken jar, thinking that his original intention had changed, his words were simply very smooth, "Fortunately, it's not too important news, so it's okay." ”

Qu Ning's eyes turned to a strange glance at him.

Then she whispered into his eardrums, and the man who had been soothing and relieved for a second almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "...... If someone stole information during the war, can you say the same? ”

Qu Ning muttered to herself, and before Tang Shaoshuai had time to change her face angrily, she had already suddenly "poofed" and laughed softly, and patted his hand: "Okay, my young marshal, I know your mind." Don't worry about the affairs of the back house, leave everything to me, I promise, such a thing," she said with a smile, "it will never happen a second time!" ”

“…… My young marshal? There was no time to justify such a distorted interpretation as "your mind", and when she heard such a title spit out from her lips with a bit of intimacy, Tang Shaoshuai's eyebrows raised, "Madame is in a good mood today?" ”

"Weishenme is not good?" Qu Ning smiled very movingly, but there was a cold meaning in the depths of his eyes, "Someone is burying chess pieces next to me, doesn't that mean that I am still very important?" Isn't it my honor to be looked up to like this? ”

Tang Shaoshuai smiled dumbly and patted her shoulder: "Madam, ma'am!" ”

Qu Ning raised her chin slightly: "What's more, I can also afford to look up to this," she told him in detail about the conversation with Sai Jinhua today, and then said with a smile, "Since even a prostitute could be mixed into a princess back then, and make this kind of fish-eyed trick, could I not be a real princess, and I can't sell Yumu for the price of a pearl?" ”

Tang Shaoshuai looked at her chin slightly raised, with a proud look, and his heart moved faintly: "It turns out that Mrs. today borrowed my name to invite Sai Jinhua to come over for this." He thought for a moment, but a subtle emotion appeared between his eyebrows, "But there is one thing, madam, don't forget." Maybe a hundred years ago, those foreigners were accustomed to exchanging real money for good things with us, but now they have tasted the sweetness, if the benefits are huge, then they are more accustomed to using muskets and cannons. Madame must not be unguarded against this. ”

Qu Ning squinted at him and smiled slightly: "I have to guard against it?" Then may I ask you, husband, since I am married to you, shouldn't it be your duty to protect me in front of muskets and cannons? ”

Tang Shaoshuai really laughed at this time: "Okay, okay, then leave it to me." ”

The two of them had already arrived at the dinner table while talking, and Tang Shaoshuai had been busy outside for a day, and he was indeed hungry, so he hurriedly ate his meal.

***

When I woke up the next morning, unexpectedly, the person next to the pillow was no longer at the bedside.

Qu Ning remembered their guess yesterday, and his eyes, which were still sleepy, instantly cleared.

She cleared her throat, and Baoqin and Suqin, who were already waiting at the door, heard her voice, so they hurriedly came in with water and a washing basin, and waited in front of her.

The bride on the bed slowly poked out an arm from the quilt, but her fair skin was full of blue and red, spots.

The pieces were obviously the marks left by the bite, and they looked even more terrifying against the white white skin.

Although Qu Ning already had a small coat on his body, there were still more bruises that could not be covered, extending deeper into the fabric.

"Your Highness!" Su Qin exclaimed in surprise at a glance, and even forgot her name, although the more calm Baoqin was also a little surprised, she covered her mouth with her hand, frowned but didn't make a sound.

Ladies like them in dowry, according to the rules, are all to listen to the room.

Only the young marshal and the young lady don't like to have someone waiting for them or listening to the corner, so they avoid it a little. But Rao avoided it a little, so that he couldn't hear anything, and last night he actually ...... The creaking of the bed and the whispering of the woman rang almost all night.

But the traces on His Highness's body are too exaggerated, right?

Although the woman's skin is soft, but the marks are still so heavy after a night, didn't that person control his hand strength last night?

Qu Ning grinned and slowly raised his hands and feet from the bed and asked for water. She let out a low "hiss", and as if she remembered something, her face turned red.

Young Marshal Tang really can't stand the teasing.

Last night, she did deliberately want to leave some traces, but she never expected that the man who was usually cold and cold, as soon as he arrived in bed and was teased by her, he was like a beast that had never eaten food.

She was ruthless in her mouth and hands, and at this point, although she had seven points of exaggeration, the remaining three points were really sore.

Fortunately, although the traces on the body are deep, the skin is not broken, and it can be raised for a few days.

Qu Ning immersed her body in the water while letting the two maids scrub her back, only to gasp when they occasionally touched the marks.

Su Qin couldn't help it in the end, so she hurriedly complained a few words: "The young marshal is too insignificant!" The master's body is icy and snowy, and he can also do such a hand! How many days does it take to get better? ”

Qu Ning sighed quietly, as if he was careless and seemed to be very helpless: "In the end, he was the former bandit leader, he was born in a big fight, he probably has a little bit of strength, if he really comes by his own temperament, it is a question of whether I can get up now......" Silenced, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a little more emotional, she immediately sighed, "But if it goes on like this, my body and bones are really unbearable...... Perhaps, we should take a room for the young marshal to share the pressure? She whispered as if she was emotional.

Hearing this, the corners of Baoqin's mouth twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but Zuihou held back again, and only let out a long sigh.

***

A few days later, Qu Ning made an appointment with a shop in Wangfujing that specializes in selling porcelain to talk about business, because it was an appointment with Haode early in the morning, and the location of the porcelain shop was not a secluded place, so she didn't bring more people, only brought two maids, and went to the car simply.

As a result, as soon as he entered the store and looked inside, Rao was already mentally prepared, and Qu Ning couldn't help frowning: The person who seemed to be waiting for her sitting inside was Kong Jinghao!

The man was dressed in an old-fashioned Confucian shirt, his face was gentle, and he was holding a flower and bird fan in his hand and fanning it gently, regardless of the fact that it was already October, and it was very cold.

On the other side, there is a cup of tea, and I take a sip from time to time, but it looks like a good time.

Qu Ning thought about it, paused, and smiled self-deprecatingly, he turned his head and was about to leave as soon as he stepped into the door. But obviously, Kong Jinghao had already seen her, and seeing her turn around to leave, how could he tolerate her?

Immediately strode forward, stretched out the fan with his hand, bent down and took a deep look: "Big girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." Raising his head, a pair of eyes were full of eager light, and those eyes slid over her, as if he had seen enough of her whole body through her clothes, and then he sighed and said, "The big girl has lost weight." It seems to be pity, but in fact it is a presumptuous tone, "Why do you want to leave when you see me?" Is Kong really so annoying? ”

Rao was mentally prepared, and the corners of Qu Ning's mouth still twitched.

She hooked her lips with a smile, and glanced at the two maids standing behind her as if at a loss: "Mr. Kong doesn't want to tell me, this is a chance encounter, right?" Now that he was in front of her, she would have to make physical contact with him if she wanted to force her way again. The two maids stood there at a loss as if they had lost their souls, and she knew what to do, and after glancing at the quiet shop in the shop, she simply did not leave, but walked in the door as he wanted, and found a place to sit down.

Kong Jinghao was silent.

He could hear the cold mockery in her words.

That day, watching her being carried out of the palace in a red wedding dress, it seemed to make his angina again.

A knife on the head of the word ninja. He had already endured the matter of seeing her get married, and now that she had a word or two of resentful and angry ridicule, how could he not bear it?

Kong Jinghao simply admitted it, and he nodded: "Don't hide it from the eldest girl, this porcelain shop is my family's business." My Shandong Confucian family has been inherited for nearly 1,000 years, and there are quite a few businesses in Beijing, if the eldest girl wants to buy and sell porcelain, it is for the ......" he arched his hand towards the sky, "For the sake of that person, there is naturally a response to the needs of the bottom." Since the eldest girl is here, let's talk to Kong directly. There was a kind of arrogant pride in his smile - it was a kind of pride because of his confidence, like a male peacock.

The Confucian family, the Confucian family, the Confucian family!

Qu Ning's pupils shrank tightly.

The family of Confucius in Shandong is a great name and has been inherited for thousands of years.

has both fame and heritage, even in the war era, as long as the ruler does not lose his heart, he will give the Confucian family three points of face.

Because of this, the Confucian family firmly rooted their roots on the foundation of imperial rule.

And the revolution is not only about the imperial power, but also for these vested interests under the imperial power.

So she's actually standing in the ...... now Opposite the thousand-year-old behemoth Kong family.

The more wealth Kong Jinghao shows and the wider her connections, the deeper the jealousy in her heart.

Are you afraid? Are you afraid?

Or was it worried when she knew that they had planted someone around her?

Maybe they all, but more, it was still the fighting spirit that was burning in her heart.
