Duan Xiaolou keenly guessed her thoughts, and couldn't help but have a trace of bitterness in her voice: "Why, do you and I have to be so clear?" ”

He Angelica still refused to let go, and tightly tugged on his sleeve to persuade: "As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, Taishan is a complete villain, either you just kill her, or you don't offend her, otherwise you are burying a hidden danger for yourself in the future." She had this bloody lesson in her previous life, and she was bullied again and again by Taishan, and finally forced her to almost hang herself.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Taishan learned that she married into King Ning's mansion as a concubine, so he wrote a letter to secretly meet her, holding in his hand the old thing that she "had been a slave and a maid in the Taoist temple" to blackmail, threatening her that if she didn't give money, she would tell King Ning that she had stolen, misbehaved, beaten and injured people in the Taoist temple, and could also call out a lot of Taoist aunts to testify.

At that time, He Angelica had just married into King Ning's Mansion for a year, and he was cautious to make a living under the iron fist of Princess Xie, and only saw his noble husband once, King Ning Zhu Quan, at the palace family banquet. That year, she had just turned fifteen years old, and she was immediately fascinated by Zhu Quan's mysterious and elegant demeanor, and her heart ignited the infatuation of a young girl, hoping that he could make him notice that there was still her in the world, how could she let Taishan come out and ruin her reputation.

So, she immediately took out one hundred taels from her dowry and gave it to Taishan, thinking that she would send the other party after giving the money once. Who knew that Taishan saw that the money was easy to come by, so he had to think about it and look at her again, and opened his mouth at her again and again, making her tired of coping, unable to eat and sleep well, and frightened all day long. Just because she didn't want to destroy her image in her husband's heart, she gradually had the idea of committing suicide, feeling that if she died, Taishan would stop blackmailing and she would be able to leave a clean reputation...... Fortunately, in the end, she got the help of a nobleman, and then the Jedi fought back and completely got rid of Taishan.

Duan Xiaolou still didn't believe it, and sneered: "How is it possible? You're too good, if I give her some color and see, what can she do to me? ”

He Angelica just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he accidentally inhaled a choking cool breeze, and immediately coughed repeatedly.

Duan Xiaolou hurriedly picked up He Angelica and rushed into the house, put her flat on the bed and covered the quilt, his heart was full of self-blame and remorse: he knew that she was so weak, and he talked to her for a long time on the wind! And in the previous accident, the clothes on her chest were worn out...... Is it because of this that she coughs? Sure enough, you should still check if there are any injuries.

At this end, He Angelica was still thinking about the good things in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed a few times in a row. Duan Xiaolou rummaged around the table and bedside but couldn't find tea, and he was so anxious that he wanted to perform light skills again and fly to another place to get water.

He Angelica also saw his intentions, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop him. She lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, walked to the corner of the wall with a swaying skirt, bent down and poured out a bowl of water from a red clay pot, took a few sips, she breathed a sigh of relief before smiling at him: "Duan Shaoxia, even if you have martial arts to build the world, you don't have such a usage, even if you wear a piece of clothing and drink a sip of water, you have to use your light skills, so don't we mortals who can only run on two legs not have to live?" ”

Duan Xiaolou replied without thinking: "It's only natural to find water for my beloved woman, even if I don't know martial arts, I still run at full speed to find it." ”

He Angelica lowered his eyes slightly, and still did not make any comments on his words, but turned back to the previous topic and continued to persuade him: "Duan Gongzi, please listen to my advice, you are a piece of high-grade jade, you don't have to knock the coarse rubble of Taishan." I believe you also understand that I am not weak, and I have my own way of dealing with people or things that are unfair to me. If you can promise not to meddle in this matter, the little woman will be grateful. ”

"But...... Why? Why are you so tough? Duan Xiaolou sighed sadly, raised his right hand slightly unconsciously, and then put it down again, "Why did you directly refuse my dowry, and didn't even leave each other a chance to try?" You don't have to carry everything on your shoulders alone, girl, why don't you let me protect you? ”

He Angelica shook his head firmly and said, "You should find a woman who is worthy of your protection, I am not worthy of your good at all." ”

Duan Xiaolou saw her, and finally poured out the question that had been holding in his heart: "I know this is not your truth, tell me the real reason!" Tell me, what's wrong with me, what's wrong? Was it because I was so reckless and disgusted by my rash proposal to you, or was it because you ...... Dislike me for being old? ”

"Old ...... Old? He Angelica almost choked on this word. I have the memories of 28 years of my previous life, I have married and given birth to children, looking at Duan Xiaolou, who is just beginning to fall in love, is like a little brother, how can he talk about things with the age gap.

At the beginning, because she had always had a very bad impression of Jinyiwei and felt that they were the most cold-blooded butchers in the world, she initially only regarded Duan Xiaolou and them as a group of valuable strangers, a handful of white and black seeds scattered on the chessboard. Although she had no direct contact with Jinyiwei in her previous life, the "Wu Ying Pavilion" headed by Zhu Quan and the "Long Night Pavilion" headed by Jin Yiwei have been bitter enemies for many years. It is said that many times the people talk about the "Wei" color change, and the fear of Jinyi Wei is even more than that of the green forest Xiangma, after all, the latter will also talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, but the former is a ruthless and unrighteous killing tool, and it is a butcher's knife of the rich emperor.

But Duan Xiaolou was completely different from the cool official in her impression, and his heart was even several times purer than her, coupled with his care and help for her, she could no longer use him as a pawn to fool her. Now that she has categorically rejected his proposal, it is better to simply have a showdown with him and let him completely die to her.

Thinking like this, a bowl of cold water has been drunk. Putting down the bowl of water that he had drunk in his hand and sitting down next to the stove at the head of the bed, He Angelica slowly organized his language while studying a white plum on his cuffs: "Duan Gongzi, if you treat me sincerely, I won't be polite to you." Let's put it this way, I've got a hole in my chest that you can't fill. This heartless me, as long as I see you with a fiery heart, I am very jealous. ”

In the previous life, because he was very unsatisfactory in his grandfather's house, He Angelica had been looking forward to getting married soon. She fantasized that one day a handsome man would appear and take her away from that house, and go far away, so as to protect her from any harm. Later, he married Zhu Quan as a concubine, nominally it seemed that he had an intersection with Zhu Quan, but in fact, he was so far away from her, and "husband" was still an imaginary word for her.

In King Ning's mansion, she still lives a humble life, and even often worries about her life. There are more than 30 concubines in King Ning's Mansion, and each concubine's background is only higher than her, and each concubine is carefully dressing herself up for Zhu Quan's eyes to stay on them for a moment longer. From Princess Xie, Concubine Zhou, Concubine Wan, to Concubine Gu, Concubine Jiang, and Concubine Du, everyone is scheming. Women are strange creatures who can be intimate enough to splash water and play together in the hot tub, so intimate that they exchange hairpins, earrings, and armor for each other, but still envy each other in their hearts.

At that time, she regarded Zhu Quan as her beloved, although her life was worse than in her grandfather's house, but her heart was sweet. Because she fell in love with Zhu Quan at that time, her life had a head. From the bottom of her heart, she has completely become one of his many concubines, and the biggest goal of life is to let Zhu Quan's eyes stay on her for a moment longer, and this "moment" is really just a moment, because Zhu Quan is such a busy person.

His Royal Highness King Ning, who is talented, young and ambitious, and holds the world's elite soldiers. The husband who wields like a dragon, dances a sword like a streamer, and seems to be like an immortal. A single glance he put in her direction would have made her mood flutter for days, even if he was looking at a tree behind her.

She remembered that there was a sentence in the "Biography of Lü Buweilie" in the "Historical Records", "Those who do things with lust will love relaxation when they are decrepit." Therefore, she told herself that she should not follow the example of other concubines, just care about dressing up her beauty, she also had to decorate her mind and knowledge, and be a useful person to Zhu Quan. So, she refined her medical skills, studied gold needles and acupoints, learned the six arts, learned martial arts, learned Tao strategy, learned the art of war, and learned officialdom rhetoric. After she learned these things and began to impress Zhu Quan, she was given more power, and learned how to help him take care of Wu Yingge, how to conduct intelligence transactions, and how to conduct assassination transactions......

In the end, she gradually became a very useful person to Zhu Quan, and became the only concubine in King Ning's mansion who could be on an equal footing with Princess Xie.

But in the end, when her value was fully utilized, she became an abandoned son abandoned by Zhu Quan.

During the two months when her throat was burned by hot charcoal and soaked in the water prison, she remembered that there was another sentence in the "Records of the History" in "The Family of King Goujian of Yue", "The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." Oh, it is said that history is used as a mirror and history is used as a mirror...... She deserves to fail like this. Yes, her own failure to die well is the doom of her life, she is willing to accept her fate and is willing to admit defeat, but it has affected her biological mother, her most innocent daughter, and her deepest and most painful remorse. In the end, it was concluded that her life was nothing more than a joke.

So in this life and this life, from the moment she woke up, she secretly vowed that she would never fail herself again, and she would never repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

In this life, she wants to be the one who plays chess, and she will no longer be a pawn on the chessboard. Unless one day, when she becomes strong enough to stand side by side with her future husband, she will never easily entrust her life's work. She no longer had to look humbly at her future husband, and she no longer had to humbly wait for his presence, a feeling that she hated deeply. She must look at him and be his only wife. If he had always loved her, the two would raise their eyebrows and grow old together, forever; If he falls in love with someone else later, then she will simply withdraw, and the two will forget each other in the rivers and lakes, if you are ruthless, I will leave.

Duan Xiaolou is a portrayal of the "perfect husband" in her previous life, with a unique appearance of the wind god, and she is still considerate and affectionate to herself.

In her childhood in the previous life, she hated all the men who beat women even when she saw her stepfather He Fu slap her mother heavily - and Duan Xiaolou never injured a Dao Gu even when she was on official duty, and he also said that Gao Jue beat Dao Gu and was a "ruthless and unjust" "bastard", which coincided with her thoughts.

In her childhood in the previous life, she wanted to have someone to protect herself, and she wanted to escape from the rights and wrongs of the Luo family, live a new life, and be a dignified person - and Lu Jiangbei, who came to the matchmaker, told her that if she married Duan Xiaolou, she would be the head of the Duan Mansion in the future; When she is cold, tired and tired, Duan Xiaolou will rely on her; As long as she marries into the Duan family, she will live a different life, and Duan Xiaolou will shelter her from the wind and rain. What a fascinating picture, it must be the life that many women have been pursuing all their lives.

Listening to Lu Jiangbei's description, He Angelica could almost see a wide open golden gate of Duanfu, smiling and waving to him. Duan Xiaolou was as perfect as if God had compensated her in her previous life.

One is the son of Bofu, the general of Jinyiwei; One is a humble girl with a rough life and a resurrection of her soul; Originally, they were people in two worlds, but they met by chance in a deep mountain Taoist temple not sooner or later. One is a young talent in a python robe and jade belt, and a brocade robe; One is a young girl with cloth clothes and shoes and a wooden hairpin; Originally, they would not have crossed paths, and he would not stop for her, but he suddenly stopped and told her that she was his "beloved woman".

Although she was only ten years old, she had not yet bloomed into the beauty of a woman, and she had not shown him her best and brightest side, but he said that he was willing to marry her and wait for her to grow up.

Isn't it God's arrangement to meet such a Duan Xiaolou? God sent Duan Xiaolou to her, wanting to see if she was really heartless and heartless, and she gave up her love. I want to see if she can resist the temptation to stand up on her own. I want to try to see if she has learned the painful lesson of her previous life and no longer pinned her life on a man.

Only by letting herself think like this can she let herself turn her head away from looking at Duan Xiaolou's eyes with a lot of affection.

"Duan Gongzi, all in all, I can only tell you that I am by no means as good as you think. You were blind for a while before you fell in love with me, and when your eye disease is cured, you will be glad that today's family affair was not negotiated. He Angelica gently traced the white plum on the cuffs with his fingertips, round and round. She is a terrible ghost who climbed up from hell, and she climbed up only to send her enemies to the eighteenth floor of hell, and terrible ghosts do not love people and do not need to be loved.
