The sky was sinking in the west, and Pan Feng's house was still lively, and soon after, Gongsun Zhi took Dian Wei to ride a horse and leave by car from the side door.

After the beginning of spring, after the first batch of caravans returned to do business, the streets were noisy again, and the lanterns were rising to the eaves, the city had never had an order to clean the streets late at night, and after nightfall, there were still many people playing and shopping on the cold streets.

Avoiding the bustling street market, in a dimly lit alley, a drunk man staggered in, leaning against the wall and trying to vomit, when a figure in the black came towards him, and a stick was thrown on his shoulder, knocking the man to the ground, and then several more people came and threw the drunk man out.

"Alright, let's go back." Someone shook the long stick in his hand, walked back with his companions expressionlessly, and stood guard in front of a dilapidated courtyard gate in the dark and quiet.

Their eyes are indifferent, inside the cloth robe they wear, the leather armor is close-fitting, and there is a short blade behind the waist, which is not the nursing home of ordinary wealthy people, looking straight at the end of the front, the sound of the chariot slowly came, and after a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, when the giant man who got off the horseback first had a drunken face, and threw the idle man lying on the side of the road and flew out at the same time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Gongsun Zhi, who was dressed in cloud pattern splendor, stepped out of the car.

"Is it arranged in it?" He glanced at the ground moaning. The drunken man who groaned walked towards the small courtyard in the alley with his hands down.

Dian Wei walked back and followed half a step behind, looked left and right in the alley, and nodded: "....... Since the captivity, he has stayed here and never changed places, so if he is in charge, he should be here. ”

The two rode over with several guard wolves, and at the gate of the courtyard, the four guards saw the figure coming, quickly separated the two sides, and bowed their heads: "I have seen the lord in my humble position." ”

The courtyard door dragged a long moan. Yin opened, and the figure that came over strode in with a hum.

In the quiet inner courtyard, there were lights shining out of the window lattice, and several passing maids and servants walked under the eaves, one of them knocked on the door with a soup, and then pushed the door in, and in the dim light, put the food on the table not far away, and couldn't help but look at the graceful back and praise: "Miss Zhen is so good-looking." ”

In the soft firelight, the dark purple robe top, a long skirt embellished with purple flowers on a white background, the waist is tightened to outline a seductive beauty, the sideburns hang back slightly, a few strands of green silk are lowered to the slender shoulders, setting off the light purple eyeliner outlined in the copper mirror, the long eyelashes wink at the mirror, and the eyebrows are even more charming and expressive.

This is the color of a captivating city.

The green white jade fingers held the peach comb and slid it over the ends of his hair, stopped, and his plump and jade lips hooked slightly, with a hint of bitterness, "...... A lot of people say I'm beautiful, but I don't want it......"

"How can it be, the sisters who sent over to wait for the young lady are all saying below, if they can be as beautiful as you, maybe they don't have to do their lives." The maid put down the soup and didn't leave immediately, folded her hands in her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but say a few more words, "....... Moreover, the slave maid heard that Miss Zhen is still the righteous daughter of our governor, so it is terrible, she is the daughter-in-law of Yuan Jizhou, and the righteous daughter of the governor, and the wealth of the world is on the young lady. ”

In front of the bronze mirror, Zhen Mi turned her face slightly, and the corners of her mouth smiled: "You are not me, you won't understand my feelings, but I am very happy that you can stay and talk for a while." ”

"This is what a slave should do......

"Thank you again."

"This can't be helped, the slave is a subordinate, specially sent to talk to the young lady, the young lady should drink this bowl of soup while it is hot, it is specially boiled in the kitchen, it is very nourishing."

"There are so many, I can't finish it alone." Zhen Mi put down the wooden comb, got up and came over to pick up the bowl of soup, the sadness on her face had decreased a little, and she probably still had a girl's heart, and winked at the maid, "Otherwise, you and I will divide it together......"

The little maid who was standing there pursed her mouth and stared at the bowl, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the closed door, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, miss, you don't know, the slaves and maids eat very little, and they are very poor...... Well..... it's a little better than ordinary people......"

Zhen Mi looked at her with a smile, reached out and took a lacquered copper cup containing wine next to her, and was about to pour it, when footsteps came from outside the door, the maid quickly turned around, took a step back and stood on the side, the woman's movements also stopped, and the door was pushed open.

Squeak –

The night breeze ran in first, the lights were swaying, and the tall figure stepped over the threshold with his hands in his hand, and the huge figure that followed next to him beckoned to the maid in the house, who saw the evil face, and the petite body trembled a little, and obediently followed, exiting the room, and then, the door closed softly again.

Behind the desk, the woman who put down the lacquer cup bowed to the figure, her young and slightly charming face showed a little nervousness, her head was lowered and she did not raise it, her eyes looked straight at the ground, and her thin eyebrows were tightly locked.

"Mi has seen my father-in-law......" The voice was weak, and the mosquito sounded.

The fire burned quietly, and after the words, there was silence in the room for a while, only listening to the slight sound of the robe rubbing and twisting, Gongsun Zhi walked over and sat down opposite the desk, the light was reflected on his face, and in the sound of pouring wine, his voice sounded in a low voice: "....... You called me here today, presumably for Yuan Xi's business, right? ”

Zhen Mi stood there and nodded, shook her head again, and then sat down on her knees, her face pale, and held the full wine glass in her hand: "It's not all for my husband...... He is Yuan Jizhou's son, and whether he can escape is also what his father should think, but as a wife, Zhen Mi also has to ask. ”

Taking the wine glass, Gongsun Zhi put it to his mouth and pecked it lightly, staring at her without speaking.

"Father-in-law...... My husband's background is noble, but he has also experienced a miserable ......" Su Bai's fingertips picked at the table and pinched his fist, the woman took a deep breath and made contact with the opposite side of the eye: "....... It is no longer humane to be tortured by Jian Shuo at a young age, why does his father-in-law continue to torture him...... Ask your father-in-law to be kind and let him and Mi'er leave. ”

"He can't be humane...... That's what I learned later. Gongsun Zhi put down his glass, "...... Jian Shuo was born in the palace, his psychology was somewhat distorted, and he liked to torture people, so he soaked Yuan Xi in a water prison for almost half a month...... It's almost useless below, at this point...... I can only do a good job. ”

Hearing the abrupt words, Zhen Mi's expression was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react yet. Gongsun leaned forward a little, tapped his fingers on the desk, and clicked softly: "You are a woman, you have the heart of a woman, I don't blame you." If I were a general under my command and said this, I would be whipped, Yuan and I were enemies in the first place, and my own son was not well taken care of and fell into my hands, so I should be punished like this. ”

“.…… That shouldn't be ...... I've been torturing him like this......" Zhen Mi and Yuan Xi are husband and wife after all, their eyes are wet and red, and their tone is choked.

"That's no way, Yuan Shao's eldest son is old, it's not easy to catch, the small one is too small, he often rarely goes out in the house, only Yuan Xi is more suitable, if you don't arrest him, who else can you arrest?" After pouring the wine again, Gongsun Zhi put down the wine jug and looked at her: "However, his father has already paid the ransom food, and he will go back soon." ”

"Thank you, Father!"

The woman opposite wiped her eyes, smeared her eye makeup, and couldn't help but say something, but Gongsun Zhi waved her hand, "But you, you can't go with him." ”

“.…… Stepfather...... This is...... Why? Can you tell Mi'er why this is? Zhen Mi clenched her hands tightly, and looked at the indifferent drinking figure opposite with her eyes helping.

Gongsun Zhi took a deep breath, slowly got up from his seat, put the lacquer cup on the table, turned around and walked towards the door, opened the door with a creak, and stopped for a moment, Gongsun Zhi turned his head to look at her: "Because, someone will replace you to be Yuan Xi's wife, this is a chess move...... No one can destroy, whoever touches it dies! ”

Outside the door, the footsteps were far away.

“.…… And that includes you! ”

The lights were quiet, reflecting the slender figure on the wall, kneeling down and sitting down, in the courtyard at night, and soon, Zhen Mi cried.
