Chapter 660: You Are the One
The next day, Du Jinning woke up, closed her eyes and felt it, and found that the feeling that sent her back cold down her back last night had disappeared. She sat up from the bed after a moment's pause, and after a long contemplation, she put the dagger back in her hand.
She raised Zhang Songtao and Zhou Cheng, and these nursing homes are not vegetarians, and the courtyard where she and the Chen family live is the focus of their protection and inspection. Even if those imperial guards were so skilled that they wouldn't let her guardians find out easily, they still didn't dare to stay on her roof in broad daylight. So, they either left or moved to the big tree outside her yard.
Knowing that these people had no ill intentions towards her, she decided not to startle the snake first.
After getting up and dressing and washing, she started running and practicing boxing as usual.
In the past, when she was sweating when she was running and practicing boxing, she always had to take a shower before eating breakfast and going to work. However, she was watched today, and although she felt that those people had withdrawn relatively far, she still did not dare to take it lightly, so she only wrung a handful of towels and hid on the bed to wipe it.
In fact, her house is equipped with caissons, that is, decorated with painted ceilings, which are very similar to modern suspended ceilings, and she is not afraid of others peeking at all. The walls and roof of the bath room are specially made.
In fact, in ancient times, wealthy families would press caisson wells on the roof to show magnificence and prevent dust from falling, and at the same time, the house did not look so empty. There is no such thing as a TV that lifts the tiles on people's roofs to peep at others.
And because of the complicated form of the capital, when she bought this house to put furniture, she specially asked the furniture workshop to move a stepping bed in. This stepping bed is like a small room, and the tent is very privateβthe tent at this time is not the transparent mosquito net of modern times. Although it is also made of yarn, due to process problems, the yarn at this time is not so transparent and light, not to mention that Du Jinning specially used opaque cyan thick yarn for privacy. Even if a person stands in front of the bed, he can't see what the person on the bed is doing.
There is a courtyard that does not easily let people in, there are walls and roofs that are tightly built, and this pull-out bed can be described as a triple insurance. But Du Jinning has always been cautious in doing things, and she usually pays great attention, but now that she knows that someone is spying on her, she is even more careful.
After wiping around, she pulled the bell, which she had also specially made, leading directly to the hut where Aoki lived, half a meter away from the courtyard. As soon as the bell rang, Aoki brought breakfast in, Du Jinning ate breakfast, saw that the hour was almost up, and went out on time to get into the carriage and go to the palace.
"Huh." Qi Muyuan immediately noticed that she was a little sluggish. After Yao Rongguan entered the house, he entered Du Jinning's house and asked, "What happened last night?" Why didn't you sleep well? β
After entering the palace, Du Jinning felt that the voyeur should not follow her closely, so he was no longer so careful in his words.
She was about to ask Qi Muyuan for help, and said in a low voice: "I feel that someone is following me." β
Qi Muyuan was surprised, and immediately frowned: "Who is it?" β
Du Jinning understood what he meant, and replied: "I suspect it's the emperor." β
Qi Muyuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
"And what are you going to do?" He asked.
"I suspect that when I was in the house, they hid in two big trees near my yard during the day and on my roof at night. You asked Liu Gao to go to my house and help me check it out to see which way it was. If it's the emperor's guard, then don't startle the snake first. I don't want the emperor to know that we've found out about this. After all, I don't have anything to be ashamed of, and I'm not afraid of being watched. If it's someone else, let's discuss it and then decide what to do. β
Ordinary people don't have the acumen of her and Qi Muyuan. And people still have some hole cards, especially people like Du Jinning, who are always ready to die, and they need to hide their acumen from being discovered. Otherwise, when others deal with her, she will change to a more awesome master, won't she make trouble for herself?
Qi Muyuan nodded, agreeing with Du Jinning's approach.
If the emperor spies on Du Jinning, and she finds out and does everything possible to prevent the surveillance, it means that she has a ghost in her heart. Even if the emperor was not suspicious of her, he would be suspicious of her. Therefore, it is better to stand still and wait and see what happens.
"You can rest for a while." Looking at Du Jinning's current exhaustion, he said.
Du Jinning shook his head: "No, I can't let people see that I didn't sleep last night." β
She sleeps very well and never takes a nap at noon. Doesn't it mean that she found those people last night and didn't sleep well all night?
ββ¦β¦ All right. Qi Muyuan was defeated by her caution, so he had to use his own special stove to boil water and make tea for Du Jinning to refresh her.
Du Jinning saw that he was busy going in and out, and his heart, which was wrapped very tightly, suddenly became soft.
In this world, the only one who is wholeheartedly good to her, can be trusted by her 100%, and is willing to go to him for help as soon as something happens, is Qi Muyuan.
Chen and her three sisters were good to her, but they were incompetent. They can't do anything but worry.
Guan Jiaze, Fang Shaohua, and Xu Chengyuan, although they can also stick a knife in her ribs, their ability is limited, and second, in addition to her, they also have wives and children in their hearts. When they help her, they are worried about it.
Only Qi Muyuan is different.
"Qi Muyuan......" she couldn't help but call.
"Huh?" Qi Muyuan raised his head from the stove and looked at her.
Du Jinning didn't speak, and when Qi Muyuan picked up the boiling water and walked to the table to make tea for her, she asked, "Your grandfather and parents, do you allow you to drag on like this and never get married?" Your brother is still young, and your family is so thin and thin......"
Qi Muyuan didn't speak, raised his deep eyes, looked at her quietly, and said for a long time: "As long as I insist, there is nothing that can't be done." β
He asked, "What about you?" Are you going to marry your cousin? At this point, his eyes were full of astringency.
He doesn't care that Du Jinning is a man, for the sake of this relationship, no matter how much pressure he has at home, he can insist. It's just that...... If Du Jinning becomes his own son, he doesn't know what the meaning of his persistence is. He didn't dare to be alike, what kind of mood would he feel when he saw Du Jinning marrying his cousin and slowly having a child under his knees.
He lowered his eyes, looked at the cup of green and clear tea in his palm, and a bitter smile floated on his lips: "My heart belongs, and I can't tolerate others in my heart." Therefore, for the sake of that woman, I will not marry. β
He meant it clearly.
Regardless of whether Du Jinning gets married or not, because he has Du Jinning in his heart, he doesn't want to be ashamed of the woman who married him, so he still won't get married.
