Chapter 7: The Great Disappointment
When the first rays of sunlight came in through the cracks in the window in the morning, Nanfeng Yu woke up. In the past ten years, since the death of his parents, he has never slept so soundly, and there are always intrigues and bloody killings in his dreams. And this night, he slept very deeply, and the warm mist surrounded him in his dreams, which was so fragrant and sweet that he did not want to wake up.
He opened his eyes and looked around warily to see a woman, curled up on the collapse in a strange position. There is a scarlet scar on the exposed right arm. Memories came flooding back, from the composure at the beginning, to the tears that flowed later. She cut his arm, and the blood dripping from the water and the tears she shed on his chest were deeply imprinted on his heart.
Footsteps approached outside the door, and he leaped onto the beams of the roof. The wound on his chest had been carefully cleaned and bandaged exquisitely, but the black veil on his face was still there, and it had not been taken down, and his unique masking technique was no one could imitate. Not interested in his face? What a strange woman!
Xiao Tao called outside the door: "Miss, get up." She didn't know it.
The cry grew louder: "Miss, get up and have breakfast!" She frowned.
"Miss, if you don't get up again, the sun will go down." Now the little peach is becoming more and more lawless. Qingchen rolled over and continued to sleep.
"Miss, Lord Mo is here!" Qingchen was startled, sat up, his eyes hadn't opened yet, and his mouth opened first: "No, tell him to go!" β
Seeing that her young lady opened her mouth, Xiao Tao pushed the door in. Where is there any ink prince? Qingchen was angry: "Little peach is a bad girl, I have deceived your young lady!" Deduction of wages. β
Xiao Tao took the toiletries and pretended to plead: "Miss spare the slave maid, the slave maid still has a large family to support, so she points to this salary." After getting along with Qingchen for the past few days, Xiao Tao knows that her young lady is no longer the young lady she used to be. The current young lady is reasonable, kind and intelligent. She will only increase her salary, so that she will not be deducted from her salary for this little thing!
Nan Fengyu amusedly watched as the woman scrubbed underneath, scrubbing her teeth with strange tools. Yesterday's wet hair had been transformed into a delicate plum bun under Xiao Tao's hands. Open the jewelry box, there is only one butterfly hairpin in it, Qingchen loves this hairpin the most, and he left it alone. It shines on the head and is beautiful even without grease powder.
Nan Fengyu's whole person was attached to the beam, he felt that his heart was beating fast, looking at this woman laughing heartlessly, he suddenly felt a little sour in his chest, he had just been "light" by two men yesterday, didn't she feel sad at all? But he obviously saw the tears in Mo Xuanran's eyes when she approached.
Qingchen below began to gobble up breakfast, yesterday a day consumed a lot of her body and brainpower, she must replenish it well. Nan Fengyu watched her eat with relish, and began to swallow saliva unconsciously, is this white porridge with pickles really so delicious? However, she eats beautifully, much more beautiful than their first beauty in the Southern Tang Dynasty. But she is obviously not as good-looking as her, and her appearance is not as elegant as her. It's just that he feels that this woman is so real and so smart, which makes people feel that the world is warm.
Halfway through eating, Qingchen was shocked: "What about people? β
"Who?" Little Peach replied. The master and servant are the same hindsight.
Qingchen subconsciously raised his head, and sure enough, he saw someone on the beam: "Come down, Xiao Tao has already seen you yesterday." β
Nanfeng Jade floated down gently. Seeing the envy of the two: "What a powerful light skill!" β
Nanfeng Yu glanced at the two of them, and secretly thought: If it weren't for the injury, I could fly around the house a few times.
Qingchen looked at his smug eyes, and guessed that his mouth under the black veil must have smiled crookedly, and deliberately snorted coldly: "The recovery is very fast, and I was dying yesterday, and I almost died." β
Nan Fengyu's smile froze: "Hmph, woman, don't think that if you save me, I won't kill you." Serve porridge to my son! β
Xiao Tao reluctantly served him a bowl. He took off the black veil and began to gobble it up.
Qingchen and Xiao Tao both felt amazed, they looked more handsome than the Nine Emperors, no wonder they had to be masked.
After he finished eating the three bowls, Qingchen couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?" β
Nan Fengyu hesitated: "I can't sue you yet, but you can call me jade." "Suing her name is tantamount to telling her identity, and the more she knows, the more dangerous it becomes. He snorted coldly, pretending to be cold.
Qingchen didn't want to talk to him, so he got straight to the point: "Do you know Jiang Yuheng?" β
"I don't know. Is it a man? His chest began to ache slightly, and he thought it was a pain in the wound.
"Then do you know the Central Building in City A?"
"I don't know." Nan Fengyu felt a little inexplicable, he had never heard of any A city, what building.
Not him. Despite the similarity, ...... No. Qingchen felt empty in his heart: "Jiang Yuheng, where are you?" Still alive? She was frustrated, "You can finish eating and leave." β
Nan Fengyu was actually a little angry, it turned out that her tears and her blood were all shed for another man, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Why did you save me?" β
"Have you forgotten that Yu Gongzi held a sword against my neck yesterday and said that he wanted my life? Do I dare not save you? β
Nanfeng Yu snorted coldly and said, "I didn't see you so dedicated at the beginning!" β
In Nantang, all women, as long as they see his face, will be crazy for him, he took off the black veil, wanting to see her infatuated eyes on him, but only for a moment, after that, she looked as usual. Even after asking the questions she wanted to ask, she treated him like dung.
He has always been the only jade son who treats women as dung.
The three of them were eating, and a little servant came to report that Lord Mo had arrived. The three of them were all surprised, this time it was really here. Nanfeng Yu disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief: "No, let him go back." β
There was a pause in front of the door, and Mo Xuanran's voice came: "Qingchen, don't be willful, let me see your injuries." Without saying anything, he pushed the door and entered.
Qingchen was speechless. The ancients really didn't know how to respect people's **, yesterday recklessly broke in, she was bathing, he said that he was duty; Today, whether she wants to or not, he will enter if he wants.
Qingchen didn't look back, and Gu himself enjoyed the scenery outside the window. I didn't open the window just now.
Mo Xuanran was carrying a large bag of wound medicine supplements in his hand, and alone, he walked to Qingchen's side, put things aside, took out a dark green jade bottle, took her hand, and gently applied an ointment to the wound.
"This is Gyokuro ointment, which builds muscle and relieves pain." Mo Xuanran pulled up her jade-like arm and wiped it gently.
Qingchen only felt the slightest coolness and fragrance. Mo Xuanran quietly looked at Qingchen's side face, under the sun, her face was not powdered, with a transparent luster, clear eyes, and occasionally squinted at him, this was his childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©e. At this point, he wished that time had stopped.
Seeing him in a daze, Qingchen exerted his strength, withdrew his hand, and said coldly: "Lord Wang, please go back." β
Mo Xuanran's face flushed, and he embarrassedly withdrew his hand hanging in the air, feeling a sense of loss in his heart: "Then I will come to see you tomorrow." When my aunt and uncle come back, I will personally come to the door to propose marriage, and discuss the wedding by the way. β
"Wait." Qingchen was shocked, "Big wedding? When did I say yes. β
"I'll be responsible for last night's incident" He really wanted to marry her this time, for some reason, he just wanted to marry her home as soon as possible and protect her under his wing, and last night, it was just an excuse.
"You have a group of wives and concubines, and Xiaocui takes care of the palace for you, there is no more than me, and no less than me, why don't you let me live my own leisurely life?" It's a waste of resources for one man to dominate so many women.
Qingchen asked Xiao Tao to take out the consent form she wrote yesterday to dissolve the marriage contract, she had signed and drawn, Xiao Tao said that signing and drawing is valid, and going to court in the future is also a "formal document".
Seeing that Mo Xuan stared at the consent form unmoved, Qingchen continued: "Besides, Prince Mo had no intention of marrying Qingchen, and last night the prince was duty, so why bother with it, doing this is a relief for you and me." β
actually said that this is a kind of "relief", thinking that he is a dignified king of Mo, a talented man and a wealthy family, how many women want to marry him, and now they are so disgusted by this little woman. What's even more strange is that he was not angry at all, not only was he not angry, but he was even more determined to marry her. Now he is looking forward to the days when he will be accompanied by her.
Mo Xuanran shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Cousin, our marriage is determined by our parents. Now, both of Xuan Ran's parents have died, how dare Xuan Ran go against the wishes of his deceased father and mother. β
Qingchen is very angry, how can he make sense with these ancients?
"I think both parents want their children to have a happy marriage, and now, obviously, I will not be happy if I marry you, why don't you let go and find a more suitable woman for you to marry?"
Mo Xuanran frowned slightly: "How does Qingchen know that marrying me will not be happy?" β
"You have joined forces with your concubine to stand up in front of me, when everyone else is a fool, you can't see it?" Do you really want her to be jealous with his concubines?
"If Qingchen doesn't like them, I'll send them all away." Mo Xuanran said lightly, as if to say, you don't like to eat these dishes, I will pour them all out immediately.
Qingchen was speechless, and said in his heart: Sure enough, he is a person with a thin heart. I had no choice but to take some fierce medicine: "Lord Mo must also know that Qingchen admires King Yong very much, and he will not marry in this life!" "Isn't the most taboo thing for men to be cuckolds, she said so, and she didn't believe that he was still unmoved.
A trace of anger flashed in Mo Xuanran's eyes, before that, even if he saw An Qingchen pestering King Yong on the street, he was not moved at all, he only regarded her as an irrelevant person. But since she woke up from her coma, his senses had changed subtly, and even he didn't notice it. The anger came inexplicably, and Mo Xuanran was a little surprised by his reaction, "No matter who you admire or who you want to marry, as long as your marriage contract with this king is still there, you will not want to get your wish." β
After speaking, before Qingchen could speak, Mo Xuanran turned around and walked out of her small courtyard, he needed to calm down.
