With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 477: You can only gain if you sacrifice something, he is willing
to let it go. The night is like ink, too thick to be
dissolved. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the clouds dispersed a line. The bright moon broke through the clouds, emitting a faint cold light, and the clear light poured down, like the Milky Way hanging upside down.
The lanterns under the corridor were blown to light and dark, casting swaying shadows on the ground. Shen
Zhiyi glanced at the small half of the tile that Yu Tingwan pulled away.
He could only see Ying Zhi sitting inside.
The light in the room was not very bright, and Ying Zhi was motionless, with a calm expression. There was no struggle at all. Since he made the decision, he was ready to sacrifice. You can only gain if you sacrifice something, he is willing to let it go. How could he be shy? However. He looked around. This place is not big. The furnishings are also old. After Liang Rui moved in, he did not specially change the furniture. That's right. Liangyue is a barbaric place, even the princes are very rough. These days, Emperor Ying Qian and Ying Yin have secretly sent people to find Liang Rui. He was also trying to spy on Liang Rui's ability. He dared to come to Dajin and enter the emperor's feet. He must have a backup plan and could not have come alone. After his whereabouts were leaked, he did not evacuate in advance, but hid here. As a result, Emperor Ying Qian and Ying Yin have been in vain for a long time. How could Ying Zhi know that Wei Zhao and Gu Fuju were covering for him? He knew that Liang Rui was indeed an excellent ally! Qingyun Lane was inhabited by ordinary people. He could vaguely hear the crying of the child next door, with a loud voice, enough to shake the earth. On the contrary, the high-pitched scolding seemed much weaker. The woman next door chased and beat him with a broom, and people living nearby went to persuade him to stop fighting. "Zhao Zhu's mother, don't scare the child." "Yes, he cried so hard, pitiful." "It's late at night, and it makes us all restless. My daughter-in-law slipped last time and almost had a miscarriage. She has been resting on the couch these days and is scared." Hearing this, the woman hurriedly bent down to apologize. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "It's really that this bastard is so annoying." As she said that, she wiped the tears from her face and couldn't help scolding Zhao Zhu who was running around like a monkey. "You bastard, you still have the nerve to cry? Your father worked hard as a laborer at the dock, and how much money did he get in a day? He worked hard all the time and finally fell into the water due to overwork. When he was pulled out, your father was breathing more than breathing. The leader of the boat gang came forward and gave us a sum of money. He just wanted to keep it for us mother and daughter, and he didn't even want to give us medicine to keep him alive. That's why he lost it." "Mother, a woman who doesn't know much, but she just lives on and counts copper coins to make a living. What about you? You are the pillar of the family! You actually went to the gambling house and spent it all?" These voices were full of despair. The neighbors couldn't help but scold Zhao Zhu for his faults when they heard it. "You are a confused boy!" "No wonder your mother is so angry, why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake." It was noisy. Ying Zhi was annoyed just listening to it. They are all ordinary people. They make such a fuss for a few bucks, and they are not afraid of being embarrassed when their family affairs are exposed. Fortunately, there was a quarrel over there, so he could not hear the people talking on the roof. Shen Zhiyi: "Are you here early?" Yu Tingwan nodded: "Liang Rui hasn't come back yet." But his people invited Ying Zhi in and went to look for him. Shen Zhiyi was about to sit down next to Yu Tingwan, but she took a look and found that the eaves were still very dirty. She raised her hand and touched it, and there was a layer of dust on her hand. Without waiting for her to move, Yu Tingwan took out a handkerchief and put it on her. "They just got married, but Master Xiao still doesn't know how to take care of people." Xiao Huaiyan? ? ? Every time Yu Tingwan called her Master Xiao, he seemed to suffer. Yu Tingwan patted Shen Zhiyi's hand: "But they are all trivial matters, don't blame him." Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? ? Shen's father was not a high-ranking official, but Shen Zhiyi had her aunt to rely on, and she was also a well-known noblewoman in the capital, so she wanted the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. There was unrest in the backyard at home, and she looked noble, but in fact she could endure hardships. She came out in a hurry and had no preparations. Originally, Yu Tingwan did not give her a handkerchief, so she just sat down reluctantly, because she had to bathe again when she returned anyway. Maybe she was not used to her new identity, so she never thought of Xiao Huaiyan at all. But after Yu Tingwan's "inadvertent" mention, Shen Zhiyi sat down and was moved, but she did not forget to give Xiao Huaiyan a fierce look.
Shen Zhiyi: "Luckily you are here."
Yu Tingwan: "Yeah."
Shen Zhiyi: "Men are all unreliable."
Yu Tingwan pointed at Wei Zhao: "No, it depends on the person."
Wei Zhao was coaxed anyway, his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed.
Xiao Huaiyan was not feeling well.
Shen Zhiyi: "Since there was a lot of fun, why didn't you call me? We could have come together."
Yu Tingwan shared half of the food. She looked calm and spoke without any psychological burden.
It was as if she was not the one who said she wanted to play cards and make trouble not long ago.
"Thinking that you are tired after a day, I didn't want to make you toss."
Shen Zhiyi was even more moved.
Her hands were warm.
Yu Tingwan touched them.
She frowned slightly, took off her coat and put it on her: "Look at your cold hands."
"Prince Xiao is still too young, why didn't he take good care of you?"
Shen Zhiyi was silent for a moment, thinking that Xiao Huaiyan should not be wronged.
"I shouldn't be cold."
Yu Tingwan spoke softly, with a serious look.
"You are cold."
Shen Zhiyi really felt cold.
She gathered Yu Tingwan's coat and was about to ask what would you do if it was given to me. Then she saw Wei Zhao put his coat on Yu Tingwan.
His movements were very natural.
Yu Tingwan was not surprised and accepted it as a matter of course.
Wei Zhao did all this without even looking at Xiao Huaiyan.
He said lightly.
"Learn from it."
"Why do you need someone to teach you this kind of thing?"
Xiao Huaiyan was almost laughing out of anger.
So Liang Rui hasn't come back yet, and the show hasn't started yet, and you're making fun of me?
"Yeah."
Yu Tingwan looked at him with resentment: "Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Prince Xiao is famous for his sweet talk and can please women. You should have experience. Even if you go to places of entertainment for fun, you have hugged women left and right to show them to outsiders."
There is no exaggeration in these words.
After all, it's true.
Good guy.
Every word is a thunder.
Xiao Huaiyan was dumbfounded.
Shen Zhiyi remembered that when she was still engaged to Chu Liulang, she followed the order of her elders to parade together on the Qiqiao Festival, and she met a charming woman with Xiao Huaiyan. Her dress showed that she was from a brothel.
She kept pestering Xiao Huaiyan to buy this and that, and her voice was delicate and charming.
Xiao Huaiyan was also very dandy. He hugged her and pressed the folding fan in his hand against Hua Niang's waist. They looked very intimate, but their hands did not touch directly.
——"Buy."
——"What do you want that I won't give you? My heart will break if you beg me."
Hua Niang's eyes rolled.
——"Then will you redeem me?"
——"No." It
was really heartless.
——"If Yingying wasn't feeling unwell, would I have asked you to go out? She is the one I love most."
Yingying.
That's the oiran.
It has long been known that Xiao Huaiyan of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion has a deep love for the courtesan. It is said that if the Loyal and Brave Marquis had not stopped him, he would have fallen into the land of tenderness and married her as his wife.
- "Your waist is not as thin as hers, nor as soft as hers."
- "Don't be angry, when she is not here, you are the one I like the most."
These words were said without any care.
With the upward curl of his eyes and the dissolute smile on his lips, the playboy's demeanor was displayed
to the fullest. But after seeing Shen Zhiyi not far away, he gradually disappeared.
Shen Zhiyi went over to say hello to Chu Liulang at that time. Chu Liulang said a lot of good things to get close to Xiao Huaiyan.
But Xiao Huaiyan ignored him
. There was a flash of panic in his eyes, and he was about to retract his hand. But seeing the brief disgust on Shen Zhiyi's face. Xiao Huaiyan did not move.
