The night is like ink, the evening of the early spring in the capital still has to burn the stove to get by, only a few lanterns are lit in the small house in the south of the city, and the only bright one is Ye Lingwu's bedroom.

The bangzi had just struck, Rongxiu and Qingcheng were making the bed in the back room, and Ye Lingwu was sitting under the flower window with a thick coat, looking at the full moon hanging on the treetops, and his heart was full of melancholy.

Yuan Tao brought the hot soup and said, "The housemother has been haunted since she went to the Fuguo Mansion today, did someone in the Fuguo Mansion make the housemother angry?" ”

Ye Lingwu shook his head and whispered, "It's me who can't figure it out myself." ”

Yuan Tao was stunned and said, "What can't the master mother figure out?" ”

Ye Lingwu sighed and didn't answer.

There are a lot of things she can't figure out, and in the final analysis, she can't figure out why she is so unlucky, and she has a lot of bad things all day long.

Ye Lingwu was secretly sad, and suddenly heard a knock on the door from far outside the courtyard.

"It's... It's the sound of the house, it's so late, who will come to visit? Yuan Tao stiffened behind his back and said with some fear.

Rong Xiu and Qing Tang came out of the back room when they heard the sound, and their faces were also tense, after all, there were no small servants and no guards in this house, and it was difficult to deal with thieves.

"Mistress, why don't I go and have a look?" Rong Xiu asked.

Ye Lingwu nodded, turned his gaze from the flower window to the door of the house, and said: "No matter who it is, thank the guests, if you don't report the door, then don't pay attention." ”

"Yes." Rongxiu and Qingtang responded in unison.

The cold wind outside was like a beast howling, and Rongxiu and Qingju each leaned towards the door of the house with their lamps in their hands.

The knock on the door was intermittent, coming and going, and just when Rongxiu and Qingcheng thought that someone outside was leaving, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled the two of them.

"Who... Who... Who!? Qing Tang shouted boldly.

There was silence outside the door for a while, and then a deep male voice came unhurriedly.

"Me."

Qing Tang hadn't heard who it was yet, but as soon as Rong Xiu heard this, a name popped up in his mind - Shen Zhan.

"Say your name and report your home! How do I know who it is if you don't say the name? Qing Tang said in a sonorous voice.

Rong Xiu's eyes were dizzy when she heard this, she patted her arm lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's Shen Xiaohou." ”

Qing Tang took a breath of cool air and exclaimed, "Master Hou?!" ”

When the words fell, a deep male voice sounded outside the door of the house.

“…… Ning Beihou, Shen Zhan. ”

Qingtang froze, completely losing the momentum of the shouting, and pulled Rong Xiulian to ask what to do, what to do, what to do.

Rong Xiu was helpless, and after glancing at her, she shouted at the outsiders: "Master Hou must have come to find the master's mother, but unfortunately the master's mother just fell asleep, so it is not suitable to meet guests, so please go back." ”

There was silence outside the door for a while.

Just when Rongxiu and Qingju thought that someone might be gone, they heard Shen Zhan's message: "But it's only night, you girl must not have fallen asleep yet, you go and reply, saying that Ben Hou is waiting for her to come out outside the mansion." ”

"......" Rongxiu and Qingtang looked at each other.

After weighing it, he didn't dare to continue to drive people away, so he could only bring Shen Zhan's original words to Ye Lingwu.

"What?"

Ye Lingwu said in a daze: "He... Did he really say that? ”

Qingcheng nodded heavily and said: "Yes, master, the Hou Ye said that he was waiting for you outside the mansion, and it seems that you won't stop until you hear that tone." ”

“…… Eat too much wine and eat too much, what kind of madness is this at night. Ye Lingwu muttered quietly.

Qingtang didn't hear clearly, and said in a daze: "What did the master mother just say?" ”

"Nothing."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

“…… It's so late, Hou Ye must have something particularly important to come to the door, why don't you go and see the hostess? Yuan Tao hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but speak.

Ye Lingwu's lips straightened and he didn't speak.

Rong Xiu frowned and said: "If the master doesn't want to go, the slave and maid will refuse the Hou Ye again." ”

Ye Lingwu looked at the dark door of the house over there, thought for a moment, turned over and stayed, and complained: "I really owe him, don't say anything when we meet during the day, and now come to my house at night to find trouble." ”

The door to this small house is very simple, just lift the wooden deadbolt up.

Qingtang was about to step forward to open the door, but was held down by Ye Lingwu and said, "Don't follow me, go back to the house by yourself first." ”

The three female envoys looked at each other, their eyes were puzzled but they couldn't refute, they could only respond, Rong Xiu handed over the lamp in her hand to Ye Lingwu before retreating, gave a simple instruction, and led the green orange Yuan Tao back to their respective bedrooms.

Ye Lingwu lifted the deadbolt and gently pushed the door open, and saw Shen Zhan standing alone outside the door, with one hand on his back, without anyone on his side, not even Yue Yang.

The night fell on his robe, which made the whole person even darker, except for the golden crown with a slight reflection.

Ye Lingwu's heart was stunned, and he slowly stepped forward and said, "Why did Master Hou suddenly come to visit so late?" ”

Shen Zhan looked at the girl, her delicately carved face faintly indistinct.

After a while, he suddenly stepped forward with long legs, and hugged the petite woman in front of him tightly into his arms.

Ye Lingwu exclaimed, frightened, until Shen Zhan lowered her head and sprayed the burning breath on her slender neck socket, she was able to react, and said, "What are you doing, let go of me!" ”

The more he struggled, the tighter the man clutched.

She felt the strength of the arms that bound her, the warmth of her chest, and the piercing sound of her heartbeat.

Ye Lingwu blushed and said angrily: "Shen Zhan! What are you doing! ”

"You... If you do this again, I ...... I'm going to sue the old lady! ”

"Okay," Shen Zhan said lightly, and the burning breath that was originally sprayed on his neck socket was transferred to his ears, "This is just right, everyone knows about us, and it is convenient for me to come to the door to propose." ”

A thunderbolt exploded above Ye Lingwu's head.

"What!?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned and said in a daze: "What nonsense are you talking about, what do we have to do, you let me go!" Scoundrel, rascal, you're welcome to do this again! ”

"If only I were a hooligan, I didn't care about any etiquette three years ago, and I just robbed you."

Shen Zhan's tone was heavy, like a bottomless pool, giving people an invisible depression.

Ye Lingwu frowned, and raised his head from Shen Zhan's arms with difficulty, just in front of his deep eyes, which were sad that could not be concealed by thick eyelashes.

Ye Lingwu's heart palpitated for a while, and he said in a daze: "What did you just say?" ”

Shen Zhan tugged at the corners of his mouth, slowly lowered his head, pressed his forehead against his forehead, and opened his lips lightly: "Ye Lingwu, marry me." ”

"I don't care about the heirs, as long as I can be with you, it's good to be with you to Baitou, maybe I'm never in your choice, but I will be very good to you, so good that you won't feel that Dugu will be a good thing to be old, so good that the people in the whole capital don't dare to talk about you anymore."
