What Li Wanying is most afraid of is that her husband will divorce his wife, he has this thought, even if he doesn't stop for a while, this is not a good thing for her. At the moment, he is not allowed to go out of Gaofu, and his living space is already narrow, which makes it even worse. There is also Mozhu, she must not leave Gaofu.

It seems that it can only be as Gao Ziang said, and it has been more restrained.

Gao Ziang also explained to the subordinates of the Li Mansion, and cautiously accepted the things handed in from outside the mansion. At the same time, he also told Xiao Feiyan and Ning Zhu a few personal maids, and if there were things to be sent over in the future, they would be cautiously handed over to Wanning.

This time, if Xiao Feiyan had read the letter first, she wouldn't have given it to Wanning, and Wanning wouldn't have tortured herself.

But this made it difficult for them, if anyone sent a letter, after all, they were just subordinates, how could they have the right to read her letter before Master Wan?

Gao Ziang thought about it, their concerns were reasonable, not to mention them, even he couldn't peek at Wanning's letter! You must not offend Wan Ning, so you have to compromise with her. But at least the maids can't let Wan Ning stay alone in the house for a day like this time.

Xiao Feiyan and others knew that they were derelict in their duties this time, and happily accepted Gao Ziang's orders.

Even Li Wanying knows that "strike while the iron is hot", how could Xiao Feiyan, who is a few years older than Wanning and Wanying, not see the changes in Gao Ziang. She firmly believes that the young master can only belong to Miss Wan.

She also discovered that Young Master Gao had always stayed in the lady's room until the last moment in recent days. Sometimes the master is asleep, and he refuses to leave. This is different from some time ago, he wants to be with Miss Wan so much.

On this day, just after dinner, Xiao Feiyan knew that Young Master Gao was on duty in the palace at the moment, and even if he came, he would get the time later. She wants to take advantage of this time to say what is in her heart.

She cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, grinded beside Wanning for a while, and finally spoke: "Miss, how many words does the slave have that I don't know if to say or not?" ”

Wan Ning held her hand, pulled her to the side of the bed, and the two sat down: "Sister Yan, what's wrong with you today?" Usually you will tell me whenever you have something to say, and never hide it. ”

Xiao Feiyan looked down at the clasped hands of the two: "Miss, forgive the slave maid, although you are not married to Young Master Gao, no matter what you say, Young Master is also a person who has nominally married a wife." This married man has only one task, and that is to pass on the lineage—"

Before Xiao Feiyan's words were finished, Wan Ning interrupted her: "Yan'er, do you also want me to be his concubine?" You don't know what I'm thinking, why do you keep persuading me to be his concubine? ”

Xiao Feiyan sat on the bed for a while, and felt that it was inappropriate, so she stood up and sat on the couch below: "Because the slave maid is dedicated to the sake of the young lady, if the old man has not had an accident, the mother's family can support you." But now, the young master is your future dependence. The most important thing is that the slave knows that the young master is from a prominent background, and he is dedicated to you, Miss, and he is a reliable man, and he will not be irresponsible. Being a concubine is only temporary, young master, he must be reluctant to let you be a concubine, in his eyes, you are his wife. ”

Wan Ning sighed: "Yan'er, you may not know what your father said before he died. My father was really good to me, and he saw all of us through. He said, I can't lose my dignity and go to the Gao family to be a concubine, in fact, identity and status are still secondary, but I can't lose my dignity. Otherwise, there will be no happiness in a lifetime. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Ning suddenly remembered that her father had put pressure on Ziang's brother before he died. He is also worried that he will not be able to let go of him, and he will marry into the Gao family desperately, and at that time, at least his brother can treat him better.

Thinking of her father's good intentions, Wanning instantly shed tears.

She wiped away the tears on her face: "Sister Yan, I won't tell you, I want to marry Brother Ziang, but it's probably not now." ”

"But at least let the young master see hope. You don't want to give up your chances, do you? There are people around him who can compensate for the sense of loss in his heart. ”

Although it was a fact, Wan Ning also recalled in her mind all kinds of intimacy between him and herself when Brother Ziang was there, but she was still a little disgusted: "What do you say! She relented, "Even though they were husband and wife, and that person was my sister, I really couldn't let him out." ”

Wan Ning turned to the side, as if puzzled: "But how can we do something unscrupulous?!" ”

"Just because of Young Master Gao, he comes over every day to ask for warmth, and he will come over whenever he has time, his mind is all here." Although Xiao Feiyan said this, she still knew very well that Wan Ning had no sense of security when such a big thing happened to the Li family, and Young Master Gao might not have made her feel secure enough. The reason why she persuaded Wanning was, of course, that she hoped that she would have something to rely on in the future, and she trusted Gao Ziang's personality very much.

Wan Ning muttered in a low voice: "Yes, it is really reassuring to have him by your side at any time!" ”

"Isn't this the end of it?"

As the two were talking, they forgot the time.

However, that night, Gao Ziang did not go to the Li Mansion to guard Wanning for the first time, but drank with Zhang Hanyu and Wang Pinhong in the Happy Forest.

Wan Ning, who didn't know why, panicked.

Xiao Feiyan saw her thoughts: "Miss Wan, are you not at ease? Why don't the slaves and maids send someone to the Gao Mansion to inquire, where did the young master go tonight? With whom? Did you enter the palace? The time he was on duty had long passed, did the emperor summon him? Could something be wrong? When he came to the emperor, would he be scolded? 'A companion is like a tiger! 'Or is he in the house, so is he alone?' Or is it a guest? Or even say, is this guest male or female? ……”

Wan Ning looked at her: "Yan'er, you deliberately made fun of me, right?" "Hard-mouthed little girl, didn't she think about everything Yan'er said? With that, she turned her face to the side, pouted, and continued to think.

Gao Ziang didn't arrive very late, in fact, he was very worried about Wanning in his heart. After returning from the palace, I happened to run into a few of them and got together by the way.

He stayed in the Happy Forest for a while and left, originally planning to go to the Li Mansion, but when he came to the fork in the road, he hesitated.

Yi'er asked him, "Young Master, should we go back to the house or ......?" Then she stared at him blankly, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Gao Ziang pondered for a long time, and firmly spit out two words: "Go home!" ”

"Miss Wanning's ......"

"I'll see her another day."

"The young master is afraid that he will mess up after drinking, and he won't be able to control himself. After all, the young master still felt sorry for Miss Wanning. ”

Although he didn't go to the Li Mansion, as soon as Gao Ziang returned to the house, he sent his subordinates to the Li Mansion to greet Wanning. For the first time in these days, he didn't stay by Wanning's side at night, and he was ten thousand worried.

As soon as the next person left, he released the carrier pigeon and brought the word "An" to Wanning.

In Wanning's view, the word "An" has two meanings: one is to tell herself that her brother is safe; The second is to say "good night" to yourself. The worries of the whole night disappeared because of a single word, but the thoughts remained.
