At the moment when his finger was about to touch, the eyelashes of the person in his arms trembled slightly, startling Jin Yuan to come back to his senses in an instant, and the moment Ning Zhao opened his eyes, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"You're awake."

A slightly hoarse male voice in the early morning came from overhead, Ning Zhao was still a little confused, and muttered softly.

Jin Yuan's heart trembled again, and he slowly slowed down his breathing, suppressing the throbbing in his heart.

Ning Zhao quickly woke up and found that he was actually sleeping in Jin Yuan's arms, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red in shock.

She quickly got up from Jin Yuan's arms, turned her back to the light, and hid the imperceptible flush well, and said calmly: "It's dawn, presumably those people won't be found, and we should go back." ”

Jin Yuan withdrew his arm and squeezed it calmly, which relieved a little numbness, and the shrewd Lord Jin also had a time when he was not in his mind, and he didn't notice Ning Zhao's abnormality.

The two of them did not delay, they didn't return overnight, the cicada must have been in a hurry, and I don't know if anyone in the house found out that she was not there.

Ning Zhao forcibly suppressed the strangeness in her heart, forcing herself to divert her thoughts, and soon, the feeling that made her heart palpitate was overshadowed by worry.

She had to think about what to do when she got home.

After yesterday's assassination, Jin Yuan also had to make some preparations, the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and the road was very calm.

It wasn't until he walked out of the mountains and forests and returned to the official road that Jin Yuan stopped, and Ning Zhao looked at it with feeling, showing doubts: "Does the wound hurt?" ”

Jin Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "No, it's just that the two of you go back together, and you are seen by the heart, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

After saying that, Jin Yuan pointed at himself and then at Ning Zhao.

Only then did Ning Zhao react.

Although she is a servant and a concubine, there is no shortage of people who know her, not to mention Jin Yuan, the new champion, the two of them are embarrassed, and they haven't returned all night, if they are looked at......

"It's still Lord Jin who thinks thoughtfully." Ning Zhao agreed.

"It's very safe on the official road, and those people don't dare to do it so blatantly." Jin Yuan added: "In that case, let's say goodbye here." ”

Ning Zhao nodded when he heard this, Jin Yuan smiled, waved his hand at her, and motioned for her to go first.

Ning Zhao looked at his injuries, but he didn't say anything but didn't worry, and turned to leave.

It wasn't until the figure completely disappeared that Jin Yuan frowned, looked at the wound on his shoulder, didn't know what to think, his eyes sank instantly, and then he turned around and left.

After a while, Ning Zhao returned to the market, she glanced in the direction of the Taifu Mansion, but chose another one, and strode towards the ready-to-wear shop not far away.

She couldn't just go home, her clothes were ragged and bloodstained, and she didn't know what was going on in the house, but she could imagine what was waiting for her.

Changing into a woman's clothes, Ning Zhao thought about it, tore a few fabrics casually, and under the shocked gaze of the shop owner, Ning Zhao checked out and left satisfied.

, and then went to the herb shop, according to the mother's prescription, bought some freshly picked and untreated herbs, and then walked towards the Taifu Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, looking at the door, Ning Zhao knew that he was going to come.

"Madam, the second lady is back." The little maid hurriedly ran into the main hall, bypassed the green cicada kneeling in front of the hall, and ran to Chen's ear to report.

Chen glanced at his daughter on the side, snorted coldly, and ordered the person who came, "Let her in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ning Zhao himself came in first, and at a glance he saw the green cicada kneeling on the ground sobbing, Ning Zhao's eyes sank, and the fists in his sleeves were clenched.

"You still know to come back!" Chen's caustic voice sounded, "Although she is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the servant, and she dares not to return all night, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of our servant mansion if she spreads it!" ”

"You don't care, if this affects your eldest sister's marriage, can you afford it?!"

"Mother, don't talk about my sister like that, my sister didn't return all night regardless of her reputation, I think there must be something delayed, and she will never do those pickled things."

Ning Jian said the framed words in a gentle tone, and he didn't feel sorry at all, and even wished that Ning Zhao had done something that damaged her reputation, so that she could be bullied.

Ning Zhao patiently listened to the Chen mother and daughter sing and harmonize, raised their eyes, and still looked docile and humble, but the words carried a trace of sarcasm: "The eldest sister is the concubine of the Imperial Servant's Mansion, gentle and graceful, with a good demeanor, and she is well-known in the noble girl circle in Kyoto, and the handkerchief incident last time did not affect the eldest sister, how can I affect this little thing?" ”

"You dare to talk back!" Hearing the word handkerchief, Chen and Ning Lian's faces became ugly.

Ning Zhao suffered a dumb loss in that incident, but she couldn't sit idly by as a mother and let Ning Zhao be arrogant.

"You don't go home at night, who knows what unsightly things you did outside, and you dare to speak to your eldest sister, do you still have humility in your eyes!" Chen took the case and glared at Ning Zhao viciously.

Ning Zhao in his previous life didn't know what he was scared of, but now Ning Zhao has experienced those intrigues and cunning in his previous life, and has fought against those tigers and wolves, and she doesn't care about Chen's rank at all.

"Madame, you can't talk nonsense, if it is really spread by someone with a heart, those who love to chew the root of the tongue are more, and the fake can be said to be true, and when it comes, I am really worried that it will affect the marriage of the eldest sister."

Ning Zhao was slim and elegant, without any reduction in humility, and directly blocked her back with Chen's reason.

Sure enough, when Chen Shi heard this, his face instantly became a little ugly, and Ning Zhao's gaze became even colder.

Ning Jian was also shocked, feeling that Ning Zhao's words made some sense, and couldn't help but think about his mother, for fear that something would go wrong and implicate him.

Ning Zhao ridiculed each other, and Chen didn't dare to talk about his girlfriend's reputation anymore, so he had to return the topic to the night and never return. Just as he was about to teach Ning Zhao a lesson about not having rules, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ning Hong who came back from outside, Chen's eyes lit up, and his voice became a little louder.

"Ah Zhao, although you are not my biological son, you should also call me a mother according to etiquette, as a mother, you naturally have to bear the responsibility of discipline, the back house is peaceful, and the master can also handle political affairs with peace of mind."

"But where have you learned the rules for so many years, is it that your mother taught you to make sense if you don't return home at night?"

The mother was involved, but Ning Zhao was unmoved, still standing calmly in front of the hall, and said: "Madame has been holding on to the night since I entered the door, but I have never asked the reason, is this the judgment and bearing of the housewife?" ”

"Presumptuous!" A roar came.

Ning Zhao didn't reply, Ning Hong strode in and sat directly on the main seat, Chen immediately changed into a aggrieved look, and Ning Zhao also looked at Ning Zhao sadly.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the owner of the incident, he would almost believe it.

"Master, why are you back?" Chen poured Ning Hong a cup of tea and asked softly.

"Humph!" Ning Hong took the teacup and took a sip, then put it heavily on the desk, stared at Ning Zhao, and said angrily: "If something like this happened at home, can I not come back?" ”
