149 The Brother-in-law 5
Shen Lian wanted to retort that she was not drunk. However, the swaying look was too unconvincing. Moreover, she was top-heavy and it really didn't look like she was not drunk. So, she said nothing more. , simply leaned obediently in Yun Heng's arms. He supported her and walked forward slowly.
When the door opened and they walked into the courtyard, they saw two people guarding outside. One was General Shu and the other was her maid Dongxia. When they turned around and saw the two people who came with each other, they were stunned. Live. Uh, what's the situation? How could this Lord and another Nangong girl... the girl and the Grand Master, not right?
Shen Lian took in all the expressions in their eyes, and then continued to be drunk. She was half drunk and half awake now, and allowed herself to get drunk. Dongxia immediately took a few steps and helped the person over. Yun Heng did not force him to stay. , let the maid help the little girl over. "Your girl is drunk after drinking fruit wine. Please help her back."
Originally, he wanted to send her back, but when he thought about his identity, he gave up the idea. After all, if outsiders saw the Grand Master or the Grand Master's confidant sending the girl from the Nangong family home, no matter which one it was, This is not a good thing for Nangong Yue.
Therefore, let this little girl send Xiao Yueyue back. At most, she will be told that a good girl actually came home drunk outside. At least, it won't be more serious than that. Shen Lian understands that he The purpose of this move was to turn to look at him and say, "Thank you, Grand Master, for your understanding. Then I will go back first."
Dongxia supported her and the two of them walked slowly towards Nangong's Mansion. As soon as they entered the mansion, someone immediately reported the matter of Miss Yue's drunkenness to the eldest girl. Since the master was not in the mansion, he naturally reported it to the eldest girl.
When Nangong Xue heard the servant's report, she was stunned for a moment and then became worried. Didn't Ah Yue go to meet Yun Heng? Why did she come back drunk? She was not bullied. Although she believed that Yun Heng was not that kind of person. However, she still couldn't help but worry about her little sister.
Shen Lian was helped directly to her room. As soon as she entered the room, she sat down at the table. Dongxia quickly poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her hand. She hoped that a sip of the tea would help her relieve the alcohol. .If her guess is right, someone must have reported it to the master or the eldest girl.
"Nangong Yue..." As soon as Nangong Xue came in, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol. It was obvious how drunk she was. Looking at the person leaning on the table, she couldn't help scolding her. " Nangong Yue, what’s the matter with you, why do you come back drunk like this?”
On the other side, as soon as Nangong Xuan returned to the house, he heard the attendants talking about this at the gate. It turned out that three or four attendants were gathered together, whispering. Then, behind him, he heard clearly. It's Yue'er, drunk and staggering back. What's the matter with Ah Yue? She's been acting more and more out of line recently.
In Taishi's Mansion, Yun Heng was drinking hangover tea. He also drank a lot of wine.
General Shu was waiting aside. After drinking the hangover tea, he thoughtfully gave him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. "My lord, you and this Nangong girl..." My lord, are you not with the Nangong family? Does the older girl have feelings for him? Why now, he seems to be quite close to another girl. Of course, he doesn't dare to say this openly.
After all, the age difference between the Nangong girl and the Lord is even greater. It’s almost half the age difference. Even the Lord’s eldest daughter seems to be about the same age as the Nangong girl.
However, General Shu did not dare to ask the Lord directly, so he could only ask tentatively. After Yun Heng heard his question, he just said something specious. "You mean Xiao Yueyue, this little girl is very cute. Yeah, I didn’t find it before.”
Well, does the Lord mean by this, are you interested in her or just treat her as a sister? General Shu looked at him doubtfully, but did not dare to ask any more questions.
On the other side, Nangong Mansion.
After Shen Lian drank the hangover tea, she felt that her drunkenness had dissipated a lot. "Sister, why are you here?" Seeing her still looking drunk and hazy, Nangong Xue sighed while stroking her forehead. If she looked like this, her father would I know, I'm afraid I have to reprimand again. A girl actually drank outside and got so drunk.
If he knew that the person who had been drinking with Ah Yue was still Yun Heng, he would probably punish her this time. Even if his father loved Ah Yue no matter how much he loved her, he would definitely punish her this time.
After Nangong Xue thought about it, her heart softened. She told Dongxia who was standing aside: "Hurry up and ask Ah Yue to change into some clothes. These clothes are full of the smell of alcohol." Now in her room, the air was in the air. , all smell of alcohol. After Dongxia responded, she went to the closet to find some clothes for the girl to change into.
Shen Lian looked at Nangong Xue, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Sister, I'm fine, I just drank too much. I told the Grand Master everything you said, and he seemed very sad. I don't know if he agreed. , still didn’t agree. However, he didn’t directly reject me, so there should be some room for him.”
If there is no rejection, there is hope.
Nangong Xue reached out and tapped her nose, "You, you, you actually drank with him. Moreover, you are still drunk. How can you behave like this when you come back? We were seen by outsiders along the way, how should they comment on us? The girl from the Nangong family."
"Sister, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again." Shen Lian grabbed her clothes and shook her gently twice, with a flattering smile on her face.
Nangong Xue sighed and gave in. "Okay, remember, you can't drink anymore in the future. Especially drinking with men or drinking outside, you know?"
"Okay, sister, I remember." Shen Lian just drank wine just to relieve her embarrassment. She thought to herself that fruit wine should not be intoxicating. Unexpectedly, the original person's alcohol capacity is not very high. Okay. After just a few glasses of wine, she was already drunk. In fact, she was only three to four points drunk, not too drunk.
Just as the two sisters were chatting together, Nangong Xuan arrived. After hearing the conversation of the servants at the door, he went directly to Nangong Yue's boudoir. So, he happened to hear their conversation. Nangong Xuan was shaken after hearing this. Shaking his head, Xue'er was very strong outside, but in front of Yue'er, she was always at a loss.
As long as she behaves coquettishly and begs for mercy, Xueer will give up. However, it is indeed not good for a little girl to come back drunk outside. Whether it is her own reputation or the reputation of the Nangong family, it is not good.
Nangong Xuan walked in and stood behind them. "Xue'er, Yue'er..." With a call, they both turned around. It turned out that his father was here. As soon as Shen Lian saw his father , knowing that he must have known it all. His eyes rolled around, and Shen Lian looked at his father with a pleading look. Nangong Xuan looked at it and coughed.
He cleared his throat and said, "Yue'er, what's going on with you recently? Your behavior has become more and more bold. First, you openly talked a lot with Grand Master Yun Heng on the street, and now you come back drunk outside. Tell me, do you still look like a young lady? If outsiders see it, how will they talk about our Nangong family?"
Especially when Xue'er is about to become Princess Qing, Yue'er actually does this at this time.
She understood what her father meant. Shen Lian promised again and again that she would never do it again. She would never do such a thing in the future. Seeing her solemn expression, Nangong Xuan said nothing more. "Remember. Stop, what you said." After he left, Nangong Xue and Shen Lian looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was considered resolved.
After that, Shen Lian never had the chance to meet Yun Heng again. She didn't wander around on the street anymore. After all, too many accidents turned into calculations. What kind of person Yun Heng was, one more time, he It was clear. Therefore, Shen Lian no longer planned to meet Yun Heng by chance on the street. Because that would be meaningless.
Before Yun Heng was attracted to her, she couldn't let him see her intentions. Otherwise, it would only push him further. So Shen Lian stayed at home obediently, occasionally practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Or, she He was reading military books again and arranging troops in formation.
The day of her sister's wedding soon came, and Shen Lian was worried that Yun Heng would come to cause trouble. Therefore, she sent out private militiamen, pretending to be ordinary people, and wandered around the Nangong Mansion. If Yun Heng really sent people to cause trouble, These people can be of some use. She even sent people to go around the Grand Master's Mansion to see if there was any movement from the Grand Master.
The mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the color was red. My sister got married, and she got married from Nangong Mansion in a glorious manner. After bidding farewell to her father, she was supported by her brothers and got into the wedding carriage. Shen Lian and Dong Xia had been together. On the side, I watched Nangong Xue leave in a carriage with the wedding procession. Dressed in rich makeup and holding a fan to cover her face, Nangong Xue looked particularly beautiful today.
After the welcoming team left, the door was full of petals. The petals were spread on the ground in a thin layer, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. "Sister, she will be happy, she will be happy," Shen Lian murmured to herself. He said, although my sister does not love His Highness King Qing, His Highness the King of Qing is very obedient to my sister.
He obeys his sister in everything. It can be said that he will never go west when her sister asks him to go east. He will not crawl when her sister asks him to kneel down. Although his temper is a bit cowardly, he does love her too deeply. .
Even if he later found out that she had an affair with the Grand Master, his brother-in-law still loved his sister and could not bear to criticize her. Therefore, such a husband is rare. Maybe he is not a promising person, but he treats his wife very well. There is really nothing to say. Shen Lian is still optimistic about Sister A. Although she is not with the person she loves, she is with a man who loves her most.
However, if it were her, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
She only marries the person she likes. Shen Lian looked around and found that there was still no movement around her. Taishi Yunheng actually didn't take any action today. However, it would be better not to, she thought.
When I saw my sister again, it was the day to return home in three days. It was my sister and her brother-in-law, His Royal Highness Prince Qing, who returned together. Nangong Xuan and Shen Lian had been waiting in the main hall early. They saw them Come, my father was very happy, and so was Shen Lian. She immediately stepped forward, took her sister's arm, and leaned against her affectionately.
"Sister, you are back."
