Chapter Twenty-Five: Late Night

There is a brass lampstand next to the incense ding, on which are lit a dozen candles, the light in the room is not dim, and the light of the candle flame has a different kind of appeal, as if it can increase the beautiful color. Xue Chongxun grabbed a pair of calf pants and put them on, walked to the lampstand first and took a candle, and then walked towards the east bookshelf. Naturally, he didn't hold the candle to play with the wax, because the back of the bookshelf was backlit, and it was not easy to see things without lighting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, he saw Sun Shi coming out from behind, her face was flushed, all the way to the root of her ears, and she looked like an elder with her head down, like a little girl who had done something wrong. Xue Chongxun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, "Why is my mother-in-law here?" ā€

Sun Shi said inarticulately: "At the beginning, I didn't know that it was late when I gossiped with Yan'er, and I was returning to Xue Lang, I just wanted to meet in your room at night, so I hid in a hurry." ā€

Xue Chongxun's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, you heard what my wife and I did just now.

"I ...... I really didn't mean to, I want to peek at you, I ......" Sun's hand made a random movement, and explained in vain without convincing, and then pressed her hands on her plump chest, and her fingertips, which trembled slightly from nervousness, pressed a rather elastic depression in the soft place, and then she turned around and said, "I'll go back first." ā€

"Wait." Xue Chongxun suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Sun Shi trembled, looked back at Xue Chongxun holding his hand, and said pitifully, "Xue ...... Xue Lang, what are you going to do? No, you can't! ā€

Xue Chongxun was stunned, then he came to his senses and hurriedly let go of Sun's wrist. He is still straight and tall in his calf nose pants, and people are easy to get dizzy when they are full of desire, but at this time he is a little sober: his wife Li Yan'er is always going to be fully grown up and sensible, if she does something unsightly in front of her mother, what will the family relationship be like in the future? What image of a big husband does he have in Li Yan'er's heart? In short, it is an extremely troublesome matter.

However, Xue Chongxun was not as panicked as Sun, he pretended to be stupid in an instant and said, "What are you doing?" ā€

Sun: "......"

Xue Chongxun said again: "Don't worry, let Yan'er get dressed and send you back, otherwise it won't be good for someone to see you entering and leaving my room alone at such a late hour." ā€

This mention yƬ is not bad, let the concubine accompany her mother in and out, and there is nothing at night, people will never be so imaginative as to think that the mother and daughter have no pressure to serve a husband together?

Sun thought it was good, and muttered with some self-reproach: "But you ......"

"It's fine." Xue Chongxun smiled harmlessly at the end of the day, "It's important to send the adults back, how can other things be in the morning and twilight?" ā€

At this time, Li Yan'er had already started to dress carefully, and finally got dressed, her hair was still a little messy, but she couldn't take care of it much at night. She came out of the curtain and complained, "I used to say that it was nothing, and my mother had to dodge, but now it's fine." ā€

Sun glanced at Xue Chongxun and scolded Li Yan'er: "Don't say it, let's go." ā€

Li Yan'er curled her mouth and continued to complain: "People are so soft that they don't want to walk, they don't have any strength at all, and they have to go a long way......."

The two of them walked out while talking. After taking them out, Xue Chongxun sighed, he lay on his back on the big bed, his mind was full of obscene things, but now that Li Yan'er had gone out, there was no way. I wanted to call the attendant to come in and solve the problem, but I felt that it was not good for Li Yan'er to come back and see it later. Now that they have become husband and wife, and the days are still long, Xue Chongxun understands that some things still have to be a little disciplined and exquisite. He waited and fell asleep before he knew it.

…… Sun was still flustered and at a loss in the room, but as soon as he went out, he became casual, and his behavior with a swan-like neck was also noble and decent, without any abnormality.

Li Yan'er saw that there was a huge contrast between her mother's appearance, and she also covered her mouth and chuckled, but after being glared at, she had to hold back her smile and stick out her tongue to make a naughty grimace. And Sun showed a depressed but relaxed expression, she said in her heart: Fortunately, nothing happened just now, otherwise how would she face her daughter in the future?

The two maids in front of them were carrying lanterns, and the group walked up the stone road along the corridor, and by the way, it was "Listening to the Rain Lake", and the name was still taken by the lord of Jincheng County, but Xue Chongxun never told anyone, and the people in the house thought that he came up with it himself. The Sun family now lives in a quiet small courtyard on the shore of Tingyu Lake, which used to be Xue Chongxun's study, but he hardly goes to that place, and now the Sun family has lived in it for a year, but he is familiar with it. She happens to be in charge of the internal affairs of the palace in the study on weekdays, and the income and expenditure accounts, the harvest of Yongye Tian, and other matters must be inquired about before they can take effect. The power was given by Xue Chongxun, and the identity was there, and there was no way for everyone in the mansion to have a lot less foreign income.

Before they reached the ground, two maids came with lanterns, and Sun said, "Yan'er will be sent here, and I will go back by myself." ā€

Li Yan'er yawned and said, "It's all here, it's better to sleep next to your mother." ā€

Sun Shi Zhengse said: "Hurry back!" Xue Lang will leave Beijing in a few days, why don't you serve your husband and pestering your mother? ā€

"Okay, can't I go back?" Li Yan'er muttered angrily, turned around and left, but she was not a person who liked to be angry, and she just took two steps before turning around and smiling, "Ming'er came early in the morning to ask how her mother was doing." ā€

After Sun went back to shower and change clothes, he couldn't sleep for a long time, tossing and turning, his mind was full of Xue Chongxun's bright and clear body, and even his fingers were gently pressed on his chest muscles. She couldn't help but spit on herself, so shameless! But in a flash, I thought: I think about it alone, and no one knows, what's the matter?

She is more and more dependent on Xue Chongxun, the original royal grievances are lighter than Li Yan'er for the Sun family, the Sun family has long been ignorant of the resentment caused by the coup, and she is also very satisfied with her current life, as the mother-in-law of the Hedong Palace, her status is not worse than before, no one dares to bully her head and give her anger, only she makes others angry. It's just that she is young and widowed, and sometimes it is very difficult, but when she thinks about it, it is rare to be lucky when she is in Li Chengqi's partial room, and she has to compete with other women for favor, so she is balanced, and the left and right are not much different.

In the midst of her thoughts, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: If Xue Lang was strong on me just now, what should I do?

She suddenly felt a hot face, to mention that Xue Chongxun must have a bad mind, although he made an excuse, but how could that little trick be hidden from Sun's eyes? If he just wanted to remind her to let Li Yan'er send him off, he didn't mean anything else, what did he do by pulling Sun's wrist? Physical contact between men and women is already a relatively intimate action.

So the scene of Xue Chongxun pulling her wrist was repeated in Sun's mind, making it more and more difficult for her to sleep.

At this time, the Sun family was still very resentful, complaining that Xue Chongxun knew too much about etiquette...... In the blink of an eye, she sighed again, and said in her heart: If that kind of thing really happens, it will also have a headache. It is a matter of course for people to think about their own lives, and now Sun's good life comes from the marriage relationship with the Hedong Palace, assuming that step is taken, Li Yan'er will complain and spurn it when the time comes, and the Sun family will also have a day of old age and decay, who should they rely on when the time comes? Thinking of Li Yan'er, the Sun family was even more reluctant, she was such a daughter, she had always been a baby, but she didn't want her to be hurt. Sun never wants to rob her of anything, only to help her daughter compete with other women for favor.

Sun reminded himself: Xue Chongxun is a junior in the end, he should understand what he doesn't understand, if he doesn't know how to be decent, I should also resist desperately.

She couldn't sleep left and right, so she had to put on a long dress to get up, and when she walked out of the bed tent, she saw that the girl on duty had curled up on the soft collapse outside the bead curtain and fell asleep. Sun glanced at the girl's sleeping position, how weak was the woman in her heart, and Xue Chongxun's body appeared in her mind again, and she could think about anything she saw somehow.

Sun walked to the door and took down the latch, and opened the door with a "crunch", and then the girl finally woke up, and when she looked up, she said sleepily: "The slave will get up and wait for the lady." ā€

"Lie down, I remember that I still have this account book to use tomorrow, and you can't help it." Sun said a word and walked out of the bedroom and walked towards the study.

There is a sliding wooden lattice door at the back of this study, and when Sun opens it, he can hear the sound of "ding dong" water flowing into the small pool from the bamboo tube, which is elegant and quiet. But this sound seemed to set off the quieter and more lonely night night.

Sun sighed bitterly and walked to the bookcase and knelt down, but there was no one here, she simply sat cross-legged and comfortably on the futon.

There are four treasures of the study room and other things on the alalgia case, and there is a pair of pen holders, on which various types of brushes are hung in turn from large to small, and there are pens for painting and writing big characters and small letters. Sun accidentally saw one of the brushes used for painting, and immediately remembered an embarrassing thing...... She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it in her hand to look at it, but she recognized the pen. I remember that Xue Chongxun was still holding it to draw last time......

But now she is not in much mood to use it to do anything, from the beginning she only thought about Xue Chongxun's body, but now the main thing is the loneliness of her mood, and she really wants to have someone to accompany her, but such a pen can't solve the problems in people's hearts.

A kind of loneliness that is difficult to describe, Sun is not that no one speaks, there are maids to serve on weekdays, and Li Yan'er often comes to ask for warmth, that is, when she manages the housework, she will also interact with many people; But no matter how many people she was around, she felt very lonely, as if there was a vacancy somewhere that needed to be filled.

Looking out the back door, the sky was full of stars, and the night was getting deeper. G
