Outside the courtyard, the drums beat at four or three o'clock, and there was a slight tapping sound outside the window of the green bamboo.

"Who?" Green Bamboo got out of bed, tiptoed to the window, and asked quietly.

"It's me." Brother Shun's familiar voice came.

Green Bamboo gently opened the door, Brother Shun under the moonlight exuded the smell of youth, Green Bamboo turned sideways and let Brother Shun into the house.

"Why are you here? Was that the person outside the window the other day?" Luzhu pulled Brother Shun to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"I got into here on an errand, you're inconvenient, and I can't take you away now, so I want to be closer to you. Luzhu, I thought about it, no matter whose child you have in your womb, you have to give birth to him, and then we will escape together and raise the child together. Brother Shun put his arm around Luzhu's shoulder and gently stroked her belly.

"Brother Shun...... I ......" Luzhu wanted to tell him that she didn't want to leave, but she couldn't.

"What's wrong?" Brother Shun looked at her, a pair of dark eyes reflecting the bright moonlight.

"I ......" Luzhu smelled the familiar smell between Brother Shun's breaths, and for a while, he was overwhelmed, "I miss you so much." Green bamboo threw herself into the young man's arms.

Brother Shun was a little surprised by the initiative of Luzhu to give him a hug, but Brother Shun was at the age of blood and strength, and he hadn't seen his sweetheart for a long time, so he couldn't take care of it at this time, so Brother Shun hugged Luzhu and fell to the bed.

The silent night, the bright moonlight, the swaying body, the entangled soul, Lu Zhu felt inexplicably excited, and unconsciously, his legs wrapped around Brother Shun's waist, and the world was spinning.

"Let's go. It's almost dawn. Luzhu slowly regained his smooth breathing and pushed Brother Shun beside him.

Brother Shun got up, got dressed in a stumbling manner, hugged the disheveled green bamboo, and quietly slipped out.

Green bamboo fumbled to tidy up his clothes, pulled the quilt, and fell asleep deeply.

"Chen Xiao, the head you brought back doesn't look like the portrait you provided." In Zhang Guoshi's mansion, Zhang Qingyan held a portrait in his hand, a human head was placed on the table, and in the flickering candle flames, Zhang Qingyan's face was a little unsightly.

"National teacher, rest assured, this is the girl Chen Nianqi of the Chen family, the portrait is that she is still the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, she has been on the run for two years, and she has been missing for nearly a year, and her appearance will definitely change a little." Chen Xiao forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and smiled reluctantly.

"Chen Xiao, you'd better tell the truth." Zhang Qingyan sneered.

"Chen Xiao didn't dare to lie." Chen Xiao said with his fists clenched.

Zhang Qingyan thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "You go."

"Yes." As if he had received amnesty, Chen Xiao turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait. Take this head out. The smoke stinks all over the house. Zhang Qingyan glared at Chen Xiao with disgust.

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Xiao hurriedly responded.

Looking at the back of Chen Xiao's departure, Zhang Qingyan called his housekeeper Zhang An.

"Luan Ye is hard." Zhong Yan arched his hand and shouted to Luan Pu'an, who was patrolling the street with the officials.

"Isn't this Zhong Yan next to Master Yang, what's wrong?" Luan Pu'an recognized Zhong Yan at a glance.

"Luan Ye is really good eyesight. Our lord would like to invite you to sit at home when you are free. ”

"This ...... Brother, this is about to enter the nineth, and there are not enough people to prepare cold items at the entrance of the yamen, so I can't leave for a while. Luan Pu'an shirked on his lips, muttering in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this scheming Yang Huaigui's gourd.

"Master Luan, do you think this will work, I will call a few brothers to help you move the items to keep you warm, you can take the time to sit down, okay?" Zhong Yan begged.

"It's not right, it's not right." Luan Pu'an waved his hand again and again.

"Master Luan, master, the little one is also an errand boy, if you don't go, our lord will scold me for not being able to do things again, you should be sorry for the little one, okay?"

"That's okay, then I'll go over tomorrow night when I change shifts." Luan Pu'an thought about it, it shouldn't be a big deal, so he should go.

"Thank you Luan Ye, Luan Ye, this bit of broken silver is a small filial piety to Luan Ye to drink tea, please Luan Ye must accept it." Zhong Yan took out a silver bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into Luan Pu'an's arms.

"I'll go tomorrow." Luan Puan did not refuse.

"Please?" Yang Huaigui sat in the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, kneading walnuts.

"Back to the master, Luan Ye said that he would come tomorrow night after changing shifts." Zhong Yan and deeds salute and return to life.

"Good. I went to invite Lord Xue's third aunt again, and said that Mrs. would invite her to play pai gow tomorrow night. ”

"Yes." Zhong Yan took the order and left.

Yang Huaigui opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Yan's departing back, and couldn't stop sneering.

"Yan'er, take these pastries with you, and follow me to the back garden to see Mrs. Green Bamboo." Yang Huaigui suppressed his sneer, and called Yan'er to command.

"Yes."

Mu Lingxi finally broke free from the rope and let out a heart-rending roar. The clothes on his body had been torn, and his bare skin was covered with shocking blood marks. Mu Lingxi was like crazy in the tent, his eyes were red, looking for any place that could relieve the itching on his back.

"Let's go in and have a look." The two generals, Long and Tiger, wanted to break into the tent several times to check the situation, but they were desperately stopped by the military doctor who accompanied the army.

"Never, two generals. This disease is extremely dangerous, and it is extremely contagious, you two go in, if there is a difference, how can I give a difference to the saint! ”

"But if we don't go in, Your Highness has a chance, what kind of face do we have to go back to the Holy City! You get out of the way! General Long snatched the medic away and stormed into the tent.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! General Long hugged Mu Lingxi, and during the struggle, the two stumbled, knocked down the candlestick, kicked over the table, and finally knocked down the brazier standing in the middle of the tent with a raging flame for warmth, and the little flame quickly ignited Mu Lingxi's broken clothes floating in the air.

"It's on fire!" General Long shouted as he tried to extinguish the fire on Mu Lingxi's body with his hands.

Hearing General Long's voice, General Tiger let go of the military doctor who was struggling in his arms and rushed into the tent as well. The delirious Mu Lingxi was burned by the fire, and it was even more difficult to surrender, and the two generals of the Dragon and Tiger ignored the fire on their bodies, and reluctantly subdued Mu Lingxi's hands and feet with desperate strength, and shouted in a low voice, "Your Highness can't stop it!" There was a roll, and all three of them fell out of the tent together.

"Help!"

After lunch, Luzhu sat by the window and looked at the lonely garden, no one has come in the garden for a long time, since Luan Pu'an brought strangers to make trouble that day, Yang Huaigui does not come often, these quiet days are like paradise on earth for Luzhu. No one bothered during the day, when it was time to eat, someone was waiting for someone to bring tea and food, and at night there was Brother Shun to talk and sleep, if he lived like this in this life, Luzhu felt quite at ease.

"Sir." Looking at the sunlight on the ground, Lu Zhu was frightened by Yang Huaigui, who suddenly visited, and hurriedly got up to be blessed.

"Excuse me, excuse me, don't move much while you are pregnant with a child. Sit down, I'll bring you a few pastries, let's see if you like it" Yang Huaigui sat down, looked up at the green bamboo, and saw that the green bamboo was like a peach blossom, and he knew that the green bamboo was having a pleasant time these days.

"Thank you, sir." Green bamboo Wanfu, sit down on the other side.

"It looks much better, are you still used to living in this yard?" Yang Huaigui stretched out his hand and rubbed the little hand of the green bamboo in his hand.

"It's all good." Luzhu lowered his eyes to hide the panic in his heart, although the matter between himself and Brother Shun had not been broken by Yang Huaigui's own eyes, but Luzhu was always uneasy in his heart.

"That's good. I'll ask Dr. Si to show you in a few days. If you want to eat, tell Yan'er. Yang Huaigui was relieved with kind words.

The two chatted for a while, Yang Huaigui sent Yan'er out, picked up the green bamboo and began to touch it up and down.

"Master......" Luzhu exclaimed and struggled, "Master, the sky is still bright......"

Yang Huaigui took off Luzhu's clothes one by one and threw them on the ground, sniffing and gnawing on Luzhu's neck like a hungry wolf, and said vaguely: "What about dawn, this is my home, you are my woman." Yang Huaigui said and pressed the green bamboo on the bed.

Yang Huaigui's roughness made Luzhu disgusted and disgusted, but she was a woman after all, she couldn't push it away, she couldn't move, all the struggles could only stimulate Yang Huaigui's more desires, Luzhu let Yang Huaigui vent his desires on himself, and listened helplessly to Yang Huaigui's turbid breathing, Luzhu only felt that life was worse than death.

After about a stick of incense, the room was quiet, and the slanting afternoon sun outside the window shone through the window, shining on the disheveled green bamboo on the bed and the sweaty Yang Huaigui beside him.

Yang Huaigui grabbed Luzhu's weak and boneless little hand, pressed it on his eyes to block the sun, and muttered: "Luzhu, don't worry, when you give birth to this child, as long as this child is my Yang Huaigui's, I will immediately divorce that shrew and help you become the eldest wife of the main house."

The green bamboo remained motionless like a puppet with a broken string. Yang Huaigui's words made Luzhu shocked and afraid of all kinds of embarrassment, she wanted to be the wife of the main house of the Yang Mansion, but she also didn't want to stay with this Yang Huaigui who exuded the smell of the old man all her life. She still likes Brother Shun's young body. Thinking of Brother Shun, Luzhu didn't feel his heart rippling, and his breathing was out of rhythm.

The chaotic breathing attracted Yang Huaigui's attention, he got up and looked at Lu Zhu, with a lewd smile on his face, pinched the flesh on Lu Zhu's waist and said, "Little wave hoof, take care of it, I'll come to see you another day."

Only then did Lu Zhu realize that he was out of shape, and hurriedly got up and tidied up his clothes, and his scattered hair couldn't cover his red face.

"Close the door, I'll go first." Yang Huaigui got up, got dressed, and left the house.

The sun is shining, the feet of the green bamboo are soft, leaning on the bed and sitting on the ground, this kind of thing is not once or twice, I don't know when, Yang Huaigui will come to the back garden during the day to vent his desires, and after venting, he left. Luzhu put on her clothes, slowly moved under the window, set up a bronze mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and felt sadness come from it, Luzhu found that unconsciously, she had become the most despised by herself. But she fell deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.

"Oh, ma'am, your hairpin is about to fall off, so come and comb your hair." Yan'er's yin and yang weird voice pulled the green bamboo back to reality.
