I slowed my breathing to keep Wu Zhen and the man from noticing that I was awake.

This person...... Probably the one surnamed Shang, right?

Wu Zhen had a different kind of intimacy and tenderness when he spoke to him, which he had never had when he talked to anyone else.

"Tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

She may not have said it on purpose, perhaps without realizing it.

I couldn't help but wonder, when I talked to Wen Fei, was it different from usual?

No, I don't feel that way myself.

"The father Wen Fuxin you are talking about should be the patriarch of the Wen family's generation. I've heard a few things about him...... You said that you met the second lady of the Wen family at the Wen family, right? ”

"Yes, the second lady looks beautiful and generous, but she is very haggard and lives in the old mansion—"

"The second lady was once very famous, a talented woman, and she was born beautiful. She and Wen Fuxin were also a couple who everyone admired back then......"

"Huh?"

"yes, you can't see it, can you? The second lady's surname is Ou and she was born in a family of eunuchs. These two have grown up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and they are very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they promise each other in life and death......"

Wu Zhen muttered in a low voice: "How do you know so clearly? ”

"The people in the capital know a lot about what happened back then. I used to talk about it when the elders in my family were chatting. The man said, "Don't interrupt, I won't talk about it again." ”

Wu Zhen hurriedly said: "Okay, you speak." ”

"Won't your sister wake up?"

"Probably not."

Wu Zhen came over lightly and opened the tent to look. I closed my eyes and did not move, she tucked the corners of the quilt for me, put down the tent again, and whispered to the man, "You are not awake, you continue." ”

The man paused for a moment, and lowered his voice: "Later, the Ou family was broken. The Wen family's face changed. At the beginning, he pretended to be a good person, and he didn't mention the marriage contract, so he placed the girl in the district in one place, and when he turned around, he designed to let her be robbed......"

Wu Zhen sighed: "Why is this so?" If you want to regret your marriage, you should regret your marriage, why do you still have such evil intentions? ”

The man continued: "At first, everyone didn't see through the Wen family's trick, they only felt that the girl in the district had a bad life, and the family had suffered an accident first, and then encountered such a catastrophe. She was taken captive, and after a few days she was rescued by others, even though she was still ...... Innocent. But it's no longer innocent. At that time, there were all kinds of people, some said that she was a strong disciple, and some said that she was grateful for the grace of saving her life and promised people a person...... She's already ruined. Wen Fuxin was logical and married the daughter of the Jin family. ”

Wu Zhen was silent for a while and didn't speak, but he heard her breathing become heavier, thinking that he was angry in his heart.

I remembered what Min Dao said...... He listened to the gossip of the writer at the banquet, which happened to match what this man said.

Is that what they say is the same thing? Is it Wen Fei's father and Aunt Yue?

"And what about later? Later, how did the second lady enter the Wen family again? ”

"Nobody knows about that. Maybe the surname Wen used some means, so he had both wealth and beauty - both the wealth of the Jin family and the appearance of the second lady. Maybe the second lady is desperate......"

Wu Zhen asked suspiciously: "Then, how do people outside know about these things that the Wen family has done?" ”

"Is there an impermeable wall in the world? If you do it, you will definitely leave a trail. What's more, this matter is so big, and many people who are boiling about it know about it. ”

"Does the second lady know about herself?" Wu Zhen asked.

What she asked was exactly what I was thinking now.

So many people know about it. Does Aunt Yue know about it?

She was deceived and tricked...... Her life was completely ruined in the hands of the Wen family, but she still became the man's concubine and gave birth to a son.

Maybe there's something else going on here? Isn't it as unbearable as people outside?

I do not know......

What about Wen Fei? Does he know the truth of this? What would he think?

Maybe he didn't know.

Maybe he'd heard it but didn't believe it.

"If I were her, I would never swallow my anger like this!" Wu Zhen's voice was very low. But he said very firmly: "I would rather die with such a well-dressed beast than live like this." ”

Outside the house, the snow was tight. There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a few moments, the man whispered, "No." ”

"What wouldn't?"

"You won't encounter anything like the Second Lady......" he said slowly, earnestly, "I will protect you." ”

I couldn't hear the sound outside for a while, but ...... No, there was still some sound, it was a slight thud from the garment—

"It's not early, you can go back quickly." Wu Zhen whispered: "Although I have separated everyone, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not be bumped into again." It's getting dark, so be careful on your way back. ”

"I'll stay with you a little longer...... The Chinese New Year is coming up, and there are many things at home, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sneak out again. Today, I came out under the guise that my cousin invited me to play chess. ”

"Huh? So your cousin doesn't care where you go? ”

"He can't stand it, he can't stand it, take advantage of this time, he also goes to do his own business, we cover up for each other, and we won't leak out."

Wu Zhen chuckled softly: "Didn't you do this once or twice, right?" ”

The man was a little embarrassed: "This can't be helped, the family law is strict - when we were children, we were often punished to kneel in the ancestral hall together, and when we knelt all night, the two of us whispered to relieve boredom." The ancestral hall has been built for decades, and it is empty, dark and cold inside, and the taste of being punished for kneeling with a hungry stomach is too unbearable. ”

"Well, it turns out that you are friends in trouble."

"Hehe, even if it's it. I have the best relationship with him at home, he is two years older than me, and he was a very naughty person when I was a child - I will introduce you to you next time. By the way, will you celebrate the New Year in the capital? After the Chinese New Year, it is much easier for me to go out. ”

Wu Zhen hesitated: "I don't know yet." Of course, I planned to go back for the New Year, but now that Wu Ning is sick, if her illness is not good for a while, we naturally can't go on the road. ”

The man whispered, "It's not kind to think so—but I really hope that your sister's illness will be better if it is delayed for a few more days." ”

"Tsk, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, I won't say it. By the way, why don't you wear a ring? But don't like that? ”

"It's not...... Wu Ning saw it, and I ......"

"She'll see it, she'll see it. Didn't you say that she already had a crush herself? Then why are you so strict? ”

"Okay, don't say anything, you can go quickly." Wu Zhen urged softly, and the thick reluctance in his voice could be heard by anyone: "Wait for the maid to come back, Wu Ning will drink porridge and take medicine when she wakes up...... It's too late to go. ”

The man agreed, and I listened as Wu Zhen opened the door to send him out, slowly opened his eyes, and looked out through the gap in the tent.

Wu Zhen and the others had already stood by the door, and I only saw that the man was tall and thin, wearing a cloak of snow fox skin, and the fur was extremely luxurious at a glance, and ordinary people would never afford to wear it.

Wu Zhen is so bold, the last time someone broke it, this time he invited that person to come, and he met at my bedside.

I think I can understand her, this strong desire to meet the other person, no matter what, I can't suppress it.

The ancients said that if you don't see each other, you will not see each other for three autumns.

Missing makes time slow and tormenting, and the feeling of sourness, bitterness and a faint sweetness in my heart is deeper than scraping bones with a steel knife.

Wu Zhen went back to the house, closed the door, and I heard her pouring tea. From the crack in the tent, she held the water cup and did not drink water, but was distracted there, with a hint of a smile on her face, which looked both gentle and a little stunned.

Wu Zhen - She's grown up too. It's no longer the little girl who is barefoot and just wants to have a full stomach.

I sighed in my heart, for some reason I felt that she was a little strange like this.

I rolled over and whispered, "When?" ”

Wu Zhen hurriedly put down the cup and answered: "It's time." Are you awake? ”

I sat up slowly: "Well, I slept so dazedly that I couldn't even tell the difference between night and morning." ”

"Well, that's it in winter, not to mention it's still snowing. You've slept most of the day, are you thirsty? Hungry or not? ”

I nodded, "I'm a little thirsty." ”

She hurriedly poured water for me.

I looked at the two cups on the table that had not been put away, one was used by Wu Zhengang, and the other was ......

"What, are there any more guests?"

Wu Zhen was stunned, and then he also saw the teacup on the table.

"Ah, no, I poured the water just now and it was too hot, I poured an extra glass of cold one, and I forgot to drink it."

She spoke smoothly and poured water and handed it to me. He pointed to the vase in the corner of the house: "Look, this branch I chose is suitable to be inserted here, right?" ”

She didn't say it, and I didn't debunk it.

Yao Huang brought over the meal after a while, two kinds of porridge, four side dishes, and two kinds of snacks. I drank a little porridge and didn't feel hungry, so I put down the dishes and chopsticks. Wu Zhen had a good appetite, drank two bowls of porridge, and ate a lot of snacks and vegetables. I looked at her ruddy face, and for some reason I remembered the phrase "people are in good spirits when they are happy".

Sure enough, because I saw my lover, I was in a good mood, and I looked radiant?

"I'm fine, you don't have to keep guarding me, go back and rest."

Wu Zhen shook his head: "It's not that this house can't sleep." Later, I'll go out to sleep in a small bed, and if you want tea and water at night, or if you have another fever, you can take care of it. ”

She brought me a book and an embroidered basket to do needlework on the side. I flipped through two pages, and she had looked up at me four or five times, looking like she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say? ”

She simply put down the needle: "I'm thinking...... The Wen family's happy event has also been done, why didn't Wen Fei come today? ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect her to say this.

"Maybe there's something going on...... Besides, why do people always come? ”

Wu Zhen pursed her lips, this kind of mean action she made was very playful: "There is more than one one in the morning, but unfortunately I didn't come, and I didn't come." You and Wen Fei...... Well, you haven't made an appointment? You...... Did you promise him anything? ”

"you—we've only met a few times, so what's the promise?" (To be continued)
