Shangguan Qian got into the carriage, shouting that she wanted to go home to complain to the old lady.
Sun Qingmei had no choice but to say to Shen Wei: "Madam Shen, I will go back to the Marquis' Mansion first. The weather is hot and humid today, and it may rain at night. Don't go out at night."
Seeing that Sun Qingmei was soaking wet, Shen Wei gently reminded her, "Madam Sun, don't forget to drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up after you return to the Marquis' Mansion."
The carriage of the Marquis's Mansion sped away.
Shen Wei returned to the villa by the lake. Zhaoyang was very thoughtful and had already asked the maid to clean the room carefully and let Chen Wei stay there for a few days.
As for Dr. Mo, Zhaoyang cordially invited him to stay in the outer courtyard in order to let him treat the prince. Doctor Mo was reluctant at first, but when Zhaoyang brought out a jar of aged wine, Doctor Mo, who loved drinking, immediately agreed and happily moved into the outer courtyard.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was dark.
After Shen Wei became pregnant, she often felt sleepy and returned to the house early to rest. The villa beside Luoyue Lake was quiet, with only the sound of the wind and guards patrolling at the door.
Zhaoyang used the excuse of being sleepy to ask the serving palace maids to leave early.
Seeing the right opportunity, Zhaoyang sneaked out. This was the first time Yan Yunting asked her out, and Zhaoyang took it very seriously. She dressed up and put on her favorite gilded long skirt, wore the gold hairpin inlaid with white jade and plum blossoms given by Yan Yunting, and covered herself with a black cloak.
Zhaoyang's figure was shrouded in the night and he slipped out of the back door silently. The place she and Yan Yunting agreed to meet was the East Pavilion of Luoyue Lake. Zhaoyang walked towards the East Pavilion with a lantern in her hand.
There was no one at Luoyue Lake at night and it was pitch black all around. Zhaoyang sat in the pavilion and put the lantern aside. The moon in the sky was foggy, the wind was howling by the lake, and Zhaoyang felt a little cold.
But she was not afraid and was looking forward to Yan Yunting's arrival.
Maybe, Yan Yunting will confess his true feelings to her tonight; maybe, Yan Yunting will take the initiative to propose to her.
Zhaoyang fell into fantasy happily. In the future, Yan Yunting will become her consort, and they will have two children, and the couple will live in harmony...
Time flows quietly, and the wind by the lake becomes stronger and stronger. The moon in the sky was blocked, and the world was pitch black. Only a lantern in the pavilion was dimly lit.
"Why hasn't he come yet?" Zhaoyang waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Yan Yunting. The lakeside was pitch black late at night, and the lake water was deep and dark, looking like an abyss at a glance.
Zhaoyang sat in the pavilion.
She heard a little rain sound, then the sound became louder and louder, and soon the whole world was covered by heavy rain. There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and a strong wind blew away Zhaoyang's lantern.
The candle in the lantern went out instantly.
Zhaoyang fell into terrible darkness.
The princess, who had been pampered since childhood, was facing the storm alone for the first time. Her heart was in her throat, and the sound of howling wind and thunder was in her ears. Zhaoyang was trembling with fear.
"Yan Yunting hasn't come yet!" Zhaoyang felt a little aggrieved. He clearly said that he would not break the promise, but he left her waiting alone in the storm for a long time.
The storms on summer nights come quickly and go away quickly.
The heavy rain gradually turned into light rain. Zhaoyang was soaked and shivering with cold. Zhaoyang still had a little hope in her heart. She thought, maybe Yan Yunting was delayed by something...
She was reluctant to leave the pavilion, as if she was angry with herself. She hugged her knees and waited stubbornly in the pavilion.
I don’t know how long it had been, but Zhaoyang, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard rustling footsteps. She looked surprised and raised her head happily: "Yan Yunting, you are finally here!"
The rain hasn't stopped yet.
A skinny black figure entered the pavilion, and a man's hoarse and irritable voice came out: "Damn the weather, it's soaking wet! I can't open my shop tonight!"
Zhaoyang was stunned. The person who came was not Yan Yunting.
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, briefly illuminating the pavilion. With the dim light, Zhaoyang saw a strange, skinny face. The strange man was skinny and had shifty eyes.
The man who broke into the pavilion to take shelter from the rain soon noticed Zhaoyang curled up in the corner of the pavilion.
The man saw Zhaoyang's pale face in the light of lightning.
In the middle of the night, a beautiful woman was soaked all over. Her wet dress stuck to her body, outlining her exquisite figure, which was really alluring.
The man's mouth slowly opened. He was a wandering thief who wanted to go out and steal money tonight, but he encountered heavy rain and had to hide from the rain in a panic.
Who would have thought that he could meet a beauty by the lake? The thief showed his broken yellow teeth and said, "Oh, I'm lucky. I met a lake fairy."
...
Boom boom
Lightning flashed across the sky, bringing a deafening roar a moment later. Raindrops were hitting the roof. On the bed in the room, the pale-faced Tan Tairou leaned weakly on the pillow.
The room smelled of medicine.
Tan Tairou said weakly: "Brother Yunting, you don't have to take care of me all the time. I just vomited some blood. I just need a good sleep."
Yan Yunting put the medicine bowl on the table and said gently, "Go to sleep first. I'll stay by your side. I'll leave after you fall asleep."
There was a touch of emotion and attachment in Tan Tairou's eyes.
She drank the medicine, leaned drowsily on the pillow, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Yan Yunting let down the bed curtain and tiptoed out of the small courtyard.
Tan Tairou's family was of ordinary means, and her father was sent out to handle official business and would not be able to return home for a few days. In the small courtyard, there was only an old servant serving Tan Tai Rou. Tan Tai Rou couldn't afford to see a doctor when she fell ill, so she could only endure the pain, and is now seriously ill.
Yan Yunting held an umbrella, and the pouring rain poured down on it. He frowned and looked into the distance.
I have missed the time to meet Zhaoyang.
It was raining so hard, cold and wet, the spoiled Zhaoyang wouldn't stay in the pavilion for too long. He would definitely get impatient and leave early.
Yan Yunting sighed silently in his heart. He failed to keep the appointment today. He would go to the princess to apologize tomorrow after the rain stops. As long as he is willing to humble himself and apologize, Zhaoyang will forgive him immediately.
It has been like this all these years. No matter how excessive Yan Yunting's actions were, as long as he bowed his head, Zhaoyang would always forgive him.
She will stay here and wait for Yan Yunting.
"Bring a box of lip balm as an apology gift tomorrow." Yan Yunting said to himself, holding an umbrella, and returning to the Yan family in the heavy rain.
...
Luoyue Lake Villa.
Shen Wei had just fallen asleep for a while when she was suddenly awakened by a call from outside the house. From the courtyard outside, the maid Yun'er cried out, "Hurry up, the princess is missing! Hurry up, someone!"
