Chapter 150: Dark Fragrance

The glamorous woman stepped out of the car, and saw her bowing to Wu Yi, and without waiting for Wu Yi to answer, she got up and walked to him, leaning into her ear as if no one was around, and whispered.

"Ugh!" Wu Yi's voice changed when he heard this, and he lost his voice: "Sister, it's an eventful time, how can you bring outsiders to the mansion, in case the lord asks, how should you deal with it as a brother?" ”

Perhaps because he felt that his words were too heavy and his tone was too harsh, for fear of breaking his sister's face, Wu Yi paused and explained softly: "Sister, don't be angry, my brother doesn't object to you receiving friends, it's just that so many people live in the house, but it is a lot of inconvenience, and it is too ostentatious." It is important to know that this time is different from the past, the war has just ended, the situation in the city is tense, and the inventory is very strict.

At the meeting of the state government, the lord decreed that from tomorrow onwards, the city gates would be closed, and no one should leave the city except with a certificate issued by the state governor's office. In addition, starting from the early morning of tomorrow, the personal soldiers under the lord's account will search the people of the whole city from house to house, and the mansions of the major families and eunuchs are no exception; As soon as a person with suspicious identity or unknown origin is discovered, he will be arrested, and those who harbor these people will be implicated by him, and once it is verified, he will be beheaded all over the house. So?????? It's not because my brother doesn't understand the world, but because I'm forced by the shape of shì, I have to remind my sister. ”

After explaining in detail, Wu Yi looked nervously at her more and more beautiful and charming sister, and asked weakly: "I take the liberty of asking for my brother, I don't know who are in these carriages, women or men, there is no problem with identity, right?" As he spoke, Wu Yi seemed to lack confidence, and his eight-foot-tall body was hunched over. In keeping with his sister, who was half a head shorter than him, he stared at his sister's expression for fear that she would be angry. I am afraid that she will not tell the truth and deliberately conceal it. And what he was most worried about was that there was a man in the carriage that came back with his sister this time.

It goes without saying that the beautiful woman standing beside Wu Yi at this moment and making him worry is none other than his sister Wu Yuan, that is, Liu Mao's widow. Liu Zhang's third sister-in-law.

Wu Amaranth was born beautiful, looking like a fairy, and when she was not yet in time, some people said that she was rich and noble. Born Fengyi. It is because Wu Amaranth has been favored since she was a child, and she is loved by everyone, and even her brother Wu Yi is obedient to her and regards her as a treasure. even pinned the future and fate of the entire family on her. The father of the brother and sister was friendly with Liu Yan before his death. So he took the whole family to follow Liu Yan into Shu, and Wu Yi was then entrusted with important tasks by Liu Yan and became a confidant. Subsequently, Liu Yan heard that Wu Amaranth was born with a phoenix, so he married Wu Amaranth for Liu Mao when he was seriously ill, and intended to pass on the position of state pastor to his third son Liu Mao. Unexpectedly, Liu Mao suddenly suffered a serious illness on the wedding night, and she has been ill since then. Soon after, he died.

After Liu Mao died of illness, the position of state pastor naturally fell on Liu Zhang's head. However, Liu Zhang was very secretive about Wu Yi and Wu Amaranth's brothers and sisters, neither relying on Wu Yi nor weakening his military power. This made Wu Yi, who was bent on relying on his sister to revitalize the family, disappointed, and had been outside of Liu Zhang's cronies, but fortunately, Liu Zhang was quite good to Wu Amaranth's third sister-in-law, and took care of her, never restricting her whereabouts, and did not object to her moving back to Wu Mansion to live with her brother.

After Liu Mao's death, Wu Yuan was criticized, and there were not a few people who talked nonsense behind her back, especially pointing at her beautiful and bewitching appearance, and stayed away. Many people talk behind their backs that the reason why Liu Mao died suddenly was because Wu Amaranth was too charming, so that the bloody Liu Mao suddenly fell ill on the wedding night and unfortunately died. As soon as these rumors came out, they spread rapidly and spread so much that no one in the official eunuch clan in Chengdu knew about it, so they stayed away from the Wu family brothers and sisters and deliberately kept their distance.

And Wu Amaranth's natural beauty and charming and glamorous appearance not only did not bring her happiness, but was regarded as a "demon", which made the sons and daughters of the family and eunuchs who had followed her all day long afraid of her, and they avoided her, and they did not dare to step into the gate of Wu Mansion for half a step.

Since then, Wu Yi did not expect the great wealth and nobility that Xiangshi said, but was left out in the cold. Although he still holds the official position of Zhonglang General, he is not reused, and is excluded from the core decision-making level of Yizhou, and has become a dispensable marginal military general under Liu Zhang's account.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhang has been in Yizhou for more than six years, and Wu Yi, who is not reused, has gradually become accustomed to this kind of bad situation. And his sister Wu Amaranth, who was a widow at a young age, and because of her special status, for so many years, many young talents in Yizhou did not dare to think about her beauty, let alone dare to come to the door to propose.

At this point, Wu Yi's subconscious idea of trying to rely on his sister to cling to the powerful gradually faded, or he no longer had any illusions and was completely dead. After all, Wu Yuan has been married to a wife, even if she is from a famous family, she is no longer a famous lady, and the name of a widow has discouraged countless children of the family, not to mention that she is also the third sister-in-law of Liu Zhang, the state pastor.

As long as Liu Zhang reigned for one day, no one dared to think anything wrong about Wu Amaranth. On the other hand, as long as Wu Yuan is in Yizhou and under Liu Zhang's rule, it is impossible to remarry. Even if she wanted to remarry, it would be in vain; In order to save the face of the Liu family, Liu Zhang will never allow her to remarry.

Because of this, Wu Yi is very nervous at the moment, worried that her sister has been out for more than half a year, and if she comes back this time and brings back a man, it will be a big deal. Even if the sister and the man are innocent and there is nothing to do, how can people be terrible; Once this matter spreads, it will inevitably make Liu Zhang, who is in a state of anxiety, angry and ashamed, and then the Wu family will be full of people of all ages and children, and the whole family will suffer!

It is worth mentioning that after Wu Amaranth became a widow, Wu Yi's idea of being a strange commodity was also shattered, but he still treated Wu Amaranth with obedience and love, and he loved her as always for several years. Compared with before he got married, he tried his best to make up for his sister's guilt and try to alleviate her loneliness and pain.

This sincere and firm brother-sister relationship is rare in this troubled world, it is very rare, and it is truly precious, admirable and enviable.

??????“ My brother is too careful. Seeing Wu Yi staring directly at him, his eyes full of worry and apprehension, Wu Amaran immediately shook his head and denied it, explaining: "In the car are Fairy Mengxin, the palace master of the Dustless Palace, and more than a dozen disciples under her door, all of whom are female dependents, how can there be outsiders. While speaking, Wu Yuan actually lied to Wu Yi, and seemed to be very worried that Wu Yi would continue to ask. As everyone knows, the more she is like this, the more suspicious Wu Yi becomes, her eyes are full of suspicion, and she looks at her shy and twisted appearance with wide eyes, and her expression is very surprised.

In the past, if Wu Yi asked her like now, then Wu Yuan would definitely not be relentless, would not entangle him to admit his mistakes, and would never give up. However, Wu Amaran's expression at the moment was extremely abnormal, not only did he not grasp his words and bite them tightly, but he avoided the important words and took them lightly, and his eyes flashed when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Wu Yi's eyes, looking very weak.

This look made Wu Yi know that she was lying at a glance, because she would not hide it at all, never lie, at least in front of Wu Yi, she had never told a lie.

"Fairy Mengxin is here?" Although he was skeptical, when he heard that the Dustless Palace Lord Meng Xin Fairy had actually come to the Wu Mansion in person, Wu Yi was immediately taken aback, and looked up at the six high-bay carriages in front of him in disbelief, as if he was eager to see Meng Xin herself.

It's a pity that he looked at the six carriages from front to back, but saw that the people in the carriage had no intention of getting out of the carriage at all, and even the windows were tightly covered, so that he couldn't see anyone sitting in the carriage at all, let alone the fairy Mengxin who was floating out of the dust.

In fact, Wu Yi did not covet Mengxin, because he had seen Mengxin a few times, and every time he faced Mengxin, he felt ashamed of his actions, because he didn't have any wrong thoughts about Mengxin, it was purely an appreciative mentality. This is because every time I see the otherworldly Mengxin fairy, the pure and dusty beauty, the elegant and dusty posture, and the elegant temperament of the fairy wind bones all make Wu Yi feel warm, not only eye-catching, but also physically and mentally comfortable, which is really wonderful and unforgettable.

However, seeing the carriage parked in the courtyard at this moment, Wu Yi knew that Fairy Mengxin and her disciples were not going to show up.

In disappointment, Wu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, looked back at Wu Yuan with a suspicious face, and said suspiciously: "Fairy Mengxin is really here?" Except for her and a group of disciples, there was no one else in the car? ”

Wu Amaran's delicate face changed slightly, and she shook her head again and again to deny: "Sister Mengxin is in the second carriage, and the rest are disciples of the Dustless Palace, and there is no one else." The elder brother should know that all the women in the dustless palace are women, and they are all girls who have not yet left the cabinet, and it is getting late now, and it is very inappropriate to show their heads, so they did not get out of the car. If the elder brother wants to see Sister Mengxin, he will come to Changle Yuan again tomorrow morning, and he will naturally be able to see her. Perhaps sensing that his brother was already suspicious, Wu Yuan turned his head after speaking, pretending to be angry, so that Wu Yi would not see her nervous and panicked expression.

Sure enough, seeing that her sister looked displeased, Wu Yi smiled and nodded: "My sister is reasonable, it's not early now, and it's really not the time to meet." Anyway, the carriage went straight into the backyard. Fairy Mengxin and her disciples lived in Changle Yuan with their sister, and the rest of the servants were placed in the West Cross Courtyard, which happened to be empty all the time, which should be enough for them to live. ”

"Well, thank you, brother." Hearing that Wu Yi finally stopped asking, Wu Amaran immediately gave a gift and smiled sweetly: "It's late at night, my brother is tired and hard for a day, so let's rest early, and my sister will arrange a qiē." ”

"It's okay, my sister should rest early." Wu Yi smiled with relief. Immediately, he instructed Hu Cong to come forward to help, drove the carriage to the backyard, and then turned around and walked to the main courtyard.

However, just as he raised his leg and crossed the threshold of the main hall, he turned back and shouted: "Is there really no man in the car?" ”

"No ??????"
