Hearing this sentence, I looked back at the scar on her face.

She seemed to feel my desire to speak but stopped, and turned her head to look at me, lowered her voice and said, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

I thought about it and said, "There are some things that I will not believe until the appropriate time. But now you have to remember that you agreed to me before coming. After you moved into the inner courtyard, you have to listen to me in everything, and you will definitely not have any conflicts with Han Zitong."

She sneered, then turned around and walked away, and said coldly: "To me now, no one else matters."

“…”

"If you are afraid that I will make a fuss with her, you won't let us meet."

Instead of turning around and leaving immediately, I stood at the door and watched for a while before gently closing the door, then took her to my room, put down the curtain, and the whole room became as quiet as a quiet box. She sat at the table and I also poured her a cup of tea.

She looked around and said, "You don't even have a single person to serve?"

“…”

"He won't treat you like this, right?"

"I don't want it myself. There are so many people and my eyes are mixed, so I don't want my every move to fall into the eyes of others."

"But, do you think he doesn't know what you're doing?"

"Of course he knows, I believe he knows everything I do, but-"

However, besides me, there are many other people in this Jinling Mansion: Han Ruoshi, Han Zitong, and even Ao Jiayu, who will be the bride in a few days...

The hearts and behaviors of these people are not something that Pei Yuanxiu can calculate.

Nangong Lizhu held the cup of tea, but had no intention of drinking it at all. She looked at me with her eyes: "You asked me to approach him again before. I have done that, but what's the point? If I do that, I can't stop him from marrying Ao Jiayu. I'm afraid that it's only you--"

I waved my hand lightly: "I won't come forward. I'm not trying to stop him from marrying Ao Jiayu."

Nangong Lizhu opened her eyes wide in surprise: "What?"

“…”

"Aren't you trying to stop him from marrying Ao Jiayu?"

"Of course, this matter cannot be stopped at all. Not only you can't, but I can't."

She glanced at me, as if she didn't believe me, but she didn't continue to refute it, but asked, "What does it mean to ask me to deliberately get close to him that day?"

"It's not just that day, but next, it's going to be like this."

"What?"

I looked at her somewhat shocked expression and said solemnly: "Now you, Han Zitong, and me, all three of us live in this inner courtyard. He will pay more or less attention here and may often come in and take a look. At that time, I want you to drag him away like before, and to drag him out all the time until the people outside can't hold back and let him go when they ask him."

Nangong Lizhu frowned: "Why do you do this?"

"Of course it's to get out of here in the end."

"…Drag him and get close to him, and finally we can leave here?"

Her brows became tighter and tighter, and she was obviously still a little confused. I smiled and said, "You always have to understand that you and I are standing on the same boat, and I want to leave here too."

"Then why don't you just explain everything you want to do to me?"

I smiled and said, "I'm afraid that it will be too early, you will be afraid."

You will be afraid, this sentence obviously stimulated her a little. Nangong Lizhu immediately sneered: "Who do you think I am, just like that new bride? Is it innocent and romantic, and I don't know the world?"

I thought to myself that Ao Jiayu may not be as stupid as you think, but it has been stimulated enough at this time, so there is no need to say anything to anger her. Sure enough, Nangong Lizhu continued, "But I want to tell you that Pei Yuanxiu is not an ordinary person. He won't care about some methods once or twice, and if he uses them twice, he may not be able to hide them from him. Besides, she looked up at me: "The person in his heart has never been me. I can barely keep him once, twice, and I can't keep him every time."

My expression sank slightly, and after a while, I said, "I will find a way at that time."

"good."

As if to prove my words, that evening, Pei Yuanxiu's figure appeared at the door just after dinner.

Because he was standing at the door, the light emitted by the lanterns under the eaves shone only behind him, and most of his face was hidden in the dark light. I couldn't see his expression clearly, so I could only feel his eyes falling on me. I gently put the chopsticks back on the table and said, "You are here just now. Xiaoqian just sent me in and is serving Miss Zitong to drink medicine."

“…”

"She's much better today, you go in and see her."

“…”

"Nangong Lizhu is there."

After saying these words, I got up and walked into my bedroom. I felt that the person at the door had been staying for a long time before slowly walking in and entering Han Zitong's room.

After a while, I went to see Nangong Lizhu again.

I continued to read the book with the candlelight, and the candlelight shone slightly. From a distance, I could hear a very low and light crying sound coming from there.

I think it is Nangong Lizhu who is "crying".

While I was slowly turning over the pages, I was calculating the time and the tolerance of a woman, but only a quarter of an hour later, Pei Yuanxiu came out of her room.

He stood in the middle of the room and looked at me through the layers of bead curtains.

And I also raised my head in front of the candlelight.

Neither of them spoke, and this relative made the already very quiet inner courtyard appear even quieter, and even the sound of the candlelight beside them seemed so abrupt and harsh.

I could feel his eyes getting deeper and deeper, and he was even going to blend with the dark sky outside.

Just as he lowered his head and turned around and was about to walk out, I suddenly said, "Which is the auspicious day?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! His steps stopped and he stopped.

I smiled and slowly closed the book: "I think you don't plan to let me go to the ceremony."

He stood outside the bead curtain, motionless: "Yes."

I lowered my head and smiled softly.

Instead, he took another step forward: "Do you want to watch the ceremony?"

I looked up at him: "Is that OK?"

"Why?"

“What’s why?”

"Why do you want to go?"

I chuckled again: "Isn't it possible?"

“…”

"Your bride, I chose her wedding dress for her, I chose her style for her, and even I matched her jewelry for her. It's not an exaggeration to go and take a look, right?"

This time, he did not speak, but after a long silence, he slowly said: "At the time, I chose your wedding dress; the colors were chosen by me; your jewelry was also matched by me."

My heart trembled slightly.

It seemed to be in harmony with the human heart, and the candlelight in front of me suddenly fluttered.

I lowered my eyes and forced a smile, "It's already a thing of the past. What did you say you do?"

He looked at me, and his eyes seemed to be about to pass through the layers of bead curtains and curtains, and see through my body. He took another step forward and almost walked to the bead curtains. He could hear the crackling of those bead curtains.

"Did you forget?"

Just then, Xiaolian's voice suddenly sounded outside—

"Young Master?"

This small and cautious sound was like a piercing something, his breath suddenly became lighter, his eyes returned to normal, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

"Well, the lady saw that the young master hadn't gone out for a long time, and didn't know what happened, so she specially asked the servant to come in and ask."

“…”

"If nothing happens, I will leave."

Although she said that, she looked at the figure outside the door without looking like she was leaving, so she still looked up carefully at Pei Yuanxiu.

He glanced at me again, then turned around and walked out.

The door was closed.

Then I felt the coldness on my forehead, and I reached out and wiped the cold sweat with my hand.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu walked out of her room, but did not come over. Instead, she looked at me from a distance, with a smile on her eyes that were a little cold, "It turns out to be so". I know what she means. As she said, if she wants Pei Yuanxiu to stay here, no matter how many means she uses, it is better to say casually.

But I didn't expect that Han Ruoshi would be so impatient.

In less than an hour, Xiaolian came in and urged her. It can be imagined that the things that happened these days have already made her patience reach its limit.

The good show, like the expected grand wedding, is about to take place.

Although Pei Yuanxiu did not tell me which day to choose, early the next morning, I heard a noise outside the inner courtyard, which was completely different from the usual quiet atmosphere. When I walked out, I saw that the entire mansion was getting hot. The servants and maids climbed up and down, and began to arrange the entire Jinling Mansion without touching the ground.

I washed the roof again, hung red lanterns under the eaves, and even some infrequently used rooms on the east wing were cleaned.

In this way, I realized in my heart that it should be correct as I had predicted before, that the auspicious day will be three days later.

The time is just right.

Although it wasn't the happy day yet, the entire Jinling Mansion was already bustling, and everyone was busy. Although I didn't go to the mansion there again, I probably knew that the bridal chamber must have been prepared very well.

Compared to the bustling outside, the inner courtyard is getting quieter and quieter.

Han Zitong's illness has been much better, but she stubbornly refused to go out and sits on the head of the bed every day. Her pale face always makes people suspect that her illness has not yet recovered.

Fortunately, not many people can care about her now.

The only thing I can still think of is me and Nangong Lizhu.

At noon that day, the people outside were already busy and the kitchen only delivered my meal on time. Both of them seemed to have been delayed, so I arranged my hearty meals and ordered them both out.

When Han Zitong and Nangong Lizhu walked to the opposite side of the table and looked up at each other, both of them seemed to be there.
