Chapter 43: The Book and the Marriage Contract

Walking through the path, repulsing the slaves and maids, and hearing the sound of the piano coming from inside, Sun Runnian was stunned, paused for a moment, and still pushed open the door and walked in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He was familiar with this room, whether it was the branches of the trees outside, which were evergreen and obscured a lot of the light that should have shone in, or the luxurious arrangement inside: exquisite porcelain, beautiful coral trees, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and in the past amusements, there were always many singers and dancers, and these women were much more obedient and docile than their wives at home, and they were beautiful and talented, which made him like them very much...... This place is also an extremely secret place in Xu Shen's house, I heard that except for those close to people and those slaves and maids who clean at a fixed time, if others come in, they will be secretly disposed of, and the Xu family's private prison is notoriously strict.

Even now, this time when he should have been anxious and waiting for the choice of fate, there was still singing and dancing in it, which made Sun Runnian a little confused, but he had more and more respect for Lord Junshou...... He is worthy of the county keeper.

Entering the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the three women dancing in the center, the slender and enchanting body draws a soft curve, dressed boldly, revealing delicate skin, because the dance gives birth to a trace of fine sweat, mixed with a trace of ambiguity. The ambiguous pink color made people unable to take their eyes off, and among them was a woman who was familiar with him, turning back and smiling at him, full of indescribable taste. In addition to the dancing woman, there are two singers, one playing the piano and the other humming a small tune, with a soft and glutinous voice, which is very good.

Even if Su Ri often experienced this kind of scene, Sun Runnian was still a little immersed, but fortunately, he still knew the purpose of coming here, stopped for a while, nodded to the woman who smiled at him, and walked to the main seat inside - although it was noon, because the sun could not shine in, the house was lit with candles, dim and dim, which made people unable to see it, but the atmosphere was drowsy.

Xu Shen was half-lying on the couch, holding a favored concubine in his arms, named Wen Huan, most of the people close to him knew that this was a very favored concubine, and was even specially accepted by him as a concubine. Chest. Dew. Milk, because she saw Sun Runnian's arrival, she hurriedly sorted out her clothes to cover the spring, but because of such an action, Xu Shen woke up.

Xu Shen frowned, glanced at Wen Huan with some disgust, let go of his hands, and motioned for her to leave here, only then did he look at Sun Runnian: "How?" ā€

"The news has spread, but there is still no trace of Gongzi Lian." Sun Runnian replied honestly, although the conversation with his wife that day made him hesitate for a long time, but he was obviously more and more valued by Xu Shen, and it was still unacceptable to give up the shortcut in front of him and take other paths again, and now it seems that the Wang family is obviously suppressed, and it has been rumored outside that Wang Ningzhi's Wang Shuping is so powerful, and now that he is in prison, he can't afford to make waves.

"What's the reaction of those people?"

"Except for the Xie family, which is extremely close to the Wang family, who expressed disbelief, the other families have not expressed their position, and they should still be waiting." Sun Runnian replied, "The prince of Shi'an County and the marquis of Xinjian County have already written a book, if the guess is correct, the imperial court should go directly to the Inner History Mansion...... Wang Biaozhi will be affected and dismissed. ā€

Xu Shen closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched his temples, the candle next to him had been burned very short, and the light emitted was dim, making most of his face disappear in the darkness: "When I went to see Puxiang Zhenren, the real person said that Xu Heng was just a small fight, and he would be the first to flee in case of trouble...... Now it seems that letting his son come here is just for show, this Xu Lian should have fled back, and what remained here was only the homeless army that escorted Xu Lian over. ā€

"Then I'll send someone to Xu Heng's side to ask for ......" Sun Runnian reacted, but was glared at by Xu Shen and stopped abruptly.

"Idiot, even if you go to Xu Heng now, you can't find Xu Lian, he can say that Xu Lian is still with me, but I lost it, now it's so urgent, how can I do something wrong." Xu Shen stared at Sun Runnian with some hatred, "Zirui, you have to take a long-term view, since Xu Heng left me, then let him go, in the current situation, there is not much more than him, and there is no less than him." On the contrary, it is the Yu family's side? ā€

Yu Fu has responded. Although he was taught a lesson, because of the closeness in Xu Shen's words, Sun Runnian was not depressed, about the Yu family, since the Yu family agreed, he has always been moving around, "Yu Fu and his uncle entered the Inner History Mansion and dragged Wang Biaozhi back, Wang Biaozhi has not moved now. ā€

"That's good." After hearing most of the good news, Xu Shencai breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to those dancing girls and said, "Things are doing well, just rest here for a while, and let Xiangxiu accompany you well......"

The dancing girl called Xiangxiu retreated from the three-person dance after hearing what Xu Shen said, and her beautiful eyes stayed on Sun Runnian, and she walked over and snuggled up to Sun Runnian's side, her movements were very natural and skillful, obviously not for the first time.

And Xu Shen, after glancing around, ignored the concubine Wen Huan who was standing awkwardly next to him, for some reason, this concubine who had always been favored by him was now annoying him, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, so he simply broke through the singer and dancer, and walked into the courtyard, and the little maid waiting outside saw him come out and hurriedly passed by.

"Prepare the car and go to the county jail."

……

Wang Ningzhi asked the guards guarding outside the cell to bring in food and water, and he didn't care about this dry, clogged and musty environment. On the way to the prison cell, he saw Wang Xuanzhi coughing up blood with his own eyes, and naturally knew that the eldest brother's body was extremely weak, but in this case, he had no way to get out of the prison cell, so he could only take care of Wang Xuanzhi as much as possible...... He didn't ask for rice, but asked the jailer to cook some porridge, and when Wang Xuanzhi finished drinking, he quickly filled his stomach.

In a dim, narrow, sealed space, time tends to pass slowly, and every second of waiting feels like a long emptiness. Wang Ningzhi is okay, but Wang Xuanzhi's mood has changed a little, but it has been a long time since Xu Shen's interrogation, although Wang Ningzhi has been telling him not to be anxious and wait, but these words have been taken as comforting words by him, and he believed it at first, but now he is a little worried, but Wang Ningzhi has always been there, making him want to speak but can't open his mouth.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for this emotion to arise, and with a clang, the long-lost sound of walking came, and the next moment, Xu Shen appeared outside the cell again.

"Ahem...... My lord, have you ever verified it? Wang Xuanzhi asked.

Xu Shen shook his head, with a feeling of regret on his face: "It's really a crime to make Bo Yuanxian's nephew wait for so long, just because this case involves too much and needs to be verified one by one, although I know that the virtuous nephew is not guilty, but the most critical task, your little guy, has now disappeared, and its cause and effect is very suspicious." ā€

"Why, when I left home, Da Niu was still at home." Wang Xuanzhi, who heard the meaning of Xu Shen's words, became excited, but it caused the cough to be even worse, and a series of harsh dry coughs made the people next to him feel uncomfortable when they heard it, not to mention Wang Xuanzhi who suffered it himself.

"Don't speak, let me speak." Wang Ningzhi couldn't stand it, stopped Wang Xuanzhi, and then stared at Xu Shen and asked, "I don't know if the adults are so obsessed with expanding the peach orchard that they imprisoned the two of us here, have you ever thought that if it doesn't work, the consequences?" ā€

"Yu Fu has already agreed to expand with me, how can it fail?" Xu Shen was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Wang Ningzhi suddenly said this.

"Huh...... After the adults left that day, Brother Zimei and I had a very happy conversation, and there was a lot of hope to see each other, did he suddenly cooperate with the adults again, and the adults did not suspect fraud? With a hint of a nonchalant smile, Wang Ningzhi narrowed his eyes, "How can you be so confident?" ā€

"Want to sow discord?" Xu Shen shook his head disdainfully, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times in mid-air, and then spoke with a bit of ridicule, "Shuping, you are still young, although you are very smart, but this court matter is not a child's game, as far as you are concerned, you can't do it after all......"

"Oh?" The expression on Wang Ningzhi's face was a little puzzled, "Listen up." ā€

"Yu Nanzi, the daughter of the Yu family, has a marriage contract with my son, and she is about to get married soon, tell me, is Zimei helping you who are only one-sided friends, or helping me?"

Wang Ningzhi's face changed greatly, his eyes widened, showing an incredible expression, and his body suddenly moved forward: "How is this possible?" How could it be ...... all of a sudden?"

"How could it be impossible?" Perhaps it was Wang Ningzhi's performance that was finally no longer as calm as usual, Xu Shen's mood was inexplicably a little excited, so he ignored the pair of Wang brothers, and said while turning around, "Since it has not been accurately verified, the two of you have to wait a little longer, it's a pity." ā€

After receiving the order, the jailer looked at Wang Ningzhi and Wang Xuanyi with some sympathy, shook his head, and walked out, leaving only the two Wang brothers in this huge space.

Wang Xuanzhi sighed, his voice was a little sad: "Sure enough, it still doesn't work." ā€

"Huh...... It seems that my acting skills are good, if I go to make a movie, I guess I can win the Oscar for the scene just now. Wang Ningzhi smiled teasingly and waved his hand at Wang Xuanzhi, "I was lying to him just now, but I didn't expect that even the eldest brother you were deceived, but it was just a marriage contract, that is, if you really got married, you should not be afraid, and even in a certain aspect, it is also a good thing......

……

……

Ruan Qin walked out of the room, handed the tea in his hand to Sima Yi who was standing outside the door, watched him slowly drink the tea, with a comfortable expression on his face, and then said with a smile: "The Wang brothers Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Ningzhi conspired to rebel, and Xu Shen really dared to say it." ā€

"Being forced to a dead end, I'm afraid it can only be like this, but it's a pity that Xu Jinyan is this person, if the first step is not wrong, the future achievements are limitless...... It's just that now, even Yixing Xu doesn't dare to contact him. ā€

"Lang Jun, do you need to push it?"

"Let's talk about it, Wang Shuping...... There should be a way to deal with it. ā€
