Chapter 111: Temptation
I don't know if Pei is too stupid, or the maid next to Nalan Jin has learned Nalan Jin's shrewdness.
I could hear that there was something in Pei's words.
"Madame, is there something wrong with you? Do you want to talk to my young lady? Lian'er looked at Pei's hand with nowhere to put it.
"There's... Yes... Not... It's nothing, if you want to say something, I'm going to come and see Jin'er, after all, what happened that day was my fault, so ...... Huh"
Pei Shi laughed a few times in embarrassment, and took out the events of that night as an excuse, a lie that Lian'er would not believe, and she looked at Nalan Jin even more unbelievingly.
"Is that so? But how do I think Madame is abducting my young lady to go to another way. Lian'er also used her hand to draw a curved line.
"No, I misunderstood, I just purely care about Jin'er, by the way, for the day's events, forget it, in short, that's it, you take care of Jin'er, if you need help, just say, I'll go see Bo'er first."
Pei's conspiracy that she had thought about for so long was actually recognized by a maid, and the embarrassment on her face and the gap in her heart made her feel a little sad and self-conscious.
"Madame, ma'am." Lian'er shouted a few times, and wanted to ask a few questions, but saw Pei Shi leaving at a hurry.
Lian'er looked at Nalan Jin, but was met with a roll of her eyes, staring at her as if she was accusing and blaming.
"Miss, did I say something wrong, I knew that I was stupid and couldn't do anything, and I always got into trouble." Lian'er lowered her head and tugged at her ears to reflect.
"You're smart and stupid." Nalan Jin poked Lian'er's head, she almost shook it without standing firmly, "I know that the eldest aunt is in trouble, so don't say anything more, do you still have to get to the bottom of it?" ”
Nalan Jin had been active for so long and felt a sore back, so he sat down and drank a cup of tea, and when he was making tea, he savored Pei's expression just now.
"I just asked a little more with concern, who knew that she would leave like this, well, everything depends on me, miss, you punish me." Lian'er pouted and walked to Nalan Jin's side.
"Beat you, I still feel like my hands hurt. But you're doing something right. I also feel that something is wrong with my aunt, and when she looked at me just now, her eyes were always tentative. ”
Nalan Jin turned the small teacup in his hand with certainty, the whole body of the cup was crystal clear, it was the last cloak fired by the official kiln, and Nalan Mansion was this one, and Nalan Jin was rewarded by Nalan Zhen.
"Look, it means I'm still on the right track." He raised his head with a happy face.
"Praise you a few words, and you'll be flying. I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and I've been here all day. Nalan Jin pretended to raise her hand to hit Lian'er, and she took a few steps back in fright.
"Miss, why do you blame me for everything, this is obviously arranged by the old man." Lian'er lowered the corners of her eyes aggrievedly.
"You don't use grandpa to press me, let me ask you, whose maid are you and whose orders do you listen to?" Nalan Jin turned to look at Lian'er.
"Miss." Lian'er said weakly.
"Then hand it over now
I'll give you one thing, help me keep an eye on my aunt, and I'll see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. Nalan Jin frowned.
"Okay, I got it."
Lian'er nodded, and then sent the capable maid beside her to follow Pei's inch by inch.
But Pei's family is an old Jianghu anyway, how can he easily let others catch him.
Leaving the little maid to follow Pei's for the second time, he was already discovered, and then he unknowingly took the little maid to another place.
After a few days, the little maid's tracking did not get any return. Nalan Jin thought for a long time, her intuition would not be wrong, but now she found nothing.
Could it really be that she is looking at people with colored glasses?
"Didn't you really notice anything wrong?" Nalan looked at Lian'er strangely.
"The maid who came back said so, she shouldn't be able to deceive, and it won't do her any good." Lian'er speculated.
"Forget it, don't follow, maybe I've been holding back in the house for too long, and everyone feels suspicious." Nalan Jin's psyche always had a faint feeling of unease.
Lian'er couldn't think of a reason, so she had to do what Nalan Jin wanted.
During this time, Nalan Wenyuan was relatively stable, except when he was depressed, he occasionally got together with a few wealthy businessmen in the city to drink.
Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, he began to talk nonsense when he returned to the Taoist mansion.
"My dignified lord of Nalan Mansion still doesn't allow me to spend all my time drinking? Say I'm not capable, have you given me a chance? Someday I'm going to show you what I'm capable of. ”
Nalan Wenyuan entered the door and began to point his fingers, still holding half a bottle of wine in his hand, as if he was drunk but not drunk, his vision was blurred, he didn't see the threshold, and fell in directly.
"Master, are you alright?" The subordinate at the door came over and helped Nalan Wenyuan, who was full of wine.
"Go away, even a few of you guards look down on me, get out, you can get up by yourself, no need, with your help, I can still stand up."
Nalan Wenyuan took a few steps forward, then staggered to his feet against the threshold, looked at the cold gate, and slowed down for a while before reacting.
"Master......" The subordinate stretched out his hand to worry that Nalan Wenyuan would fall again.
"Go away...... Let me show you, sir... Hiccup......"
Nalan Wenyuan staggered in with his feet mixed with each other.
Nalan Zhen passed by, and when he saw Nalan Wenyuan's drunken appearance, he became angry in his heart, and his face was full of hatred for iron and steel.
Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and they are talking about Nalan Wenyuan at this moment.
"Wen Yuan, why did you go drinking again, what did you look like when you came back drunk all day long?" Nalan Zhen pointed at Nalan Wenyuan and asked, glaring at him angrily.
"Who! Who is so bold! How dare you call my name! Don't want to live anymore, do you? Nalan Wen raised his head at forty-five degrees, completely ignoring the person in front of him.
"You unfilial son! Come on, drag him to the garden to sober him up! Nalan Zhen roared.
Nalan Zhen gave an order, and a few family members appeared beside him, dragging Nalan Wenyuan to the garden. At first, Nalan Wenyuan was able to follow a few steps, but later, he was directly dragged and his shoes were lost on the road.
"Don't pull, I won't drink anymore, I can't drink anymore."
Nalan Wenyuan thought that he was a fox friend who persuaded him to drink, but his tongue was straight and he politely refused.
Nalan Zhen was even more angry, and directly gave the family a look, asking them to fill the vat in the yard with water, which was the vat that nourished the lotus flowers in summer.
Then he took off Nalan Wenyuan's clothes and pressed his head directly into the water tank, he was defenseless, drowning and out of breath, going back and forth for a few rounds, and was completely awakened.
Grunt......
"Ah, poof, Dad, I'm ...... Poof"
Nalan Wenyuan looked around for a long time before he could see that it was Nalan Mansion, and in front of him sat Nalan Zhen with an angry face, and there was a vat in front of him that could drown people.
"Go on, don't stop!" Nalan Zhen is another death order.
"Daddy, Daddy, I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong." Nalan Wenyuan tightly grasped the edge of the water tank and did not let go, and looked up like Nalan Zhen begging for mercy.
"Know it's wrong?" Nalan Zhen casually took a sip of tea.
"Yes, yes." Nalan Wenyuan shook the water off his head.
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel to reflect on it, without my permission, he is not allowed to come out, and he is not allowed to bring him food, if anyone is found by me secretly bringing him food, he will kneel in the ancestral hall with him."
Nalan Zhen patted the table to warn the people around him, and at the same time, he was also warning Nalan Wenyuan, hoping that he would really become a great weapon one day.
Nalan Wenyuan was locked in the ancestral hall in the toilet, kneeling for a day and a night, not eating or drinking, not dripping water, his legs were numb, and he was not his own at all and did not obey the call.
He wanted to stand up and walk a few steps, steal a tribute to eat, but there was nothing he could do, he could only watch the tribute in front of him swallow saliva.
"Actually, the eldest lord ......" Uncle Xing looked a little distressed when he looked outside the door.
"Uncle Xing, I know what you're going to say, but you can't make it without jade. I don't have much time left, and it's really hard for Jin'er to maintain herself in this mansion. Nalan Jin looked up at the clouds that Tianguan was slowly dispersing.
"The master has good intentions, but I am afraid that the master will not know your intentions, which will aggravate the misunderstanding between you." Uncle Xing sighed.
"Besides, how is Jin'er doing lately, is Dongfang's business okay?" Nalan Zhen asked as he walked.
"It's all good, Miss has been looked at by Lian'er and has settled down a lot, but she has a temper, and Lian'er is angry at every turn, and she really wronged that girl." When I talk about Nalan Jin on Sunday, I always smile from ear to ear.
Nalan Zhen also smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
"Jin'er, this kid has been used to being in the wild since he was a child, and he is also a child that no one cares about, so it's a bit tricky now." Nalan Zhen's face flashed
A hint of guilt.
"It's good that Jin'er understands filial piety, and the business is prosperous, and Nalan Mansion is worth it." Uncle Xing chatted sentence by sentence.
"It's hard for her."
Nalan Zhen was now in the pavilion, looking at the scene of the garden, as if a breeze was blowing, the willows were swinging, and the water in the pool was also stirring up.
Since the renovation of the workshop, business has been booming, and demand has been outstripping demand.
Every day before the sun sets, the guests set the number of goods they want for the next day, and they get up early in the morning and wait at the door to pick up the goods.
Therefore, Dongfang Yi has rarely stayed in the house recently.
"Dongfang, you're leaving before dawn?" Nalan Jin looked at the dazzling candlelight in a daze.
"Recently, there have been more people ordering, so I'll hurry over, you have a good rest, I'll be back soon, don't wait for me at night, you go to sleep first." Dongfang Yi kissed Nalan Jin lightly on the forehead.
"Well, you remember to eat on time, take care of your body, and don't worry me." Before Nalan Jin's voice fell, Dongfang Yi had already disappeared.
Nalan Ming looked at the flickering candle flame worriedly, from pruning to burning.
