Chapter 47: The riot at Zui Xiang Lou actually happened today?
Now it still looks like that.
The two brothers left the study, Yun Zheng went to be intimate with his wife, and Yun Zhan went towards Qing Garden. Along the way, his mind was full of the secret reports sent by the Shadow Hall.
He still didn't understand how such a dignified princess could have fallen into such a situation.
"Seventh Master, you're back."
The slender woman walked towards him slowly. Yun Zhan stopped and hummed, his eyes falling on the exquisite and eye-catching silver face.
His eyes were too direct, like a hook, locking onto her. A hint of doubt emerged in his silver frosty eyes, but he did not try to dodge.
"Why is Master Qi looking at me like that?"
"Yin Shuang," Yun Zhan reached out and gently touched the edge of the mask, "I want to see your face."
Yin Shuang was startled for a moment, and after a moment, she took off the mask without saying a word.
An oval face appeared in front of Yun Zhan. Although the facial features were extremely delicate, the large black pimples on the cheeks destroyed all the beauty, leaving only the ugliness and disgusting look that could scare a child to tears.
Yun Zhan looked at her eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose carefully. As expected, ignoring the pimples and scars on her face, her facial features were exactly the same as the woman in the portrait in his arms.
The mystery was solved, but more suspicious people emerged.
"Why did Master Qi want to see my face? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"
Yinshuang lowered her head and gently covered her left cheek.
This face is so ugly that she doesn't even want to look at it any more, and she will feel disgusted if she accidentally sees it.
She has recovered very well now. When they first met, her body was covered with pus and her face was not intact. I don’t know what kind of freak he was. He didn’t feel disgusted at all and was not afraid of being infected, so he picked her up.
"Oh, it's not as exaggerated as you say."
Yun Zhan took the mask from her hand and put it on her gently, his behavior was a little too intimate.
Thinking of his various behaviors in the past two days, Yin Shuang felt vaguely uneasy, always feeling that he was too abnormal.
"Seventh Master, has anything happened recently?"
"Why do you ask?"
"No~"
Yin Shuang suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and shook her head slowly.
He sighed and said softly, "Yin Shuang, from now on, if you have any problems, just tell me directly. Don't worry about anything."
Hearing this, Yin Shuang tightened her fingers and looked up at him.
"Go ahead, I can see that you have something on your mind."
"I just think that Master Qi has become a little strange recently."
Encouraged, Yin Shuang no longer hesitated and mustered up the courage to speak her mind.
"Heh," Yun Zhan chuckled, "You mean to say that I've been too attentive to you lately, right?"
“…”
Yin Shuang's face froze slightly, not knowing how to respond.
"Yin Shuang, if I ask you to marry me, will you marry me?"
What? Her eyes suddenly widened, and Yin Shuang looked at him in disbelief. Her heart was beating like a drum, almost jumping out of her chest. After a moment, she lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
"Seventh Master, please don't make fun of me."
This kind of words cannot be said casually.
"I'm not making fun of you," Yun Zhan said with a slight headache, "I'm serious."
Without waiting for her response, he continued, "Yin Shuang, I really want to marry you, but you can follow your own wishes and don't force yourself. I won't force you either."
"I just want to tell you what's in my heart."
Originally, it was still early for the time he had promised his sister-in-law, and he didn't want to tell her now, but after seeing the portrait, he suddenly thought of many questions.
He had already learned the method to detoxify Xiao Si from her inner voice. Her face would get better sooner or later. If he waited until her appearance recovered before expressing his feelings to her, he was afraid that she would just think he was a lustful man who was after her beauty.
Then what's the point of all he did?
"Why? Does Master Qi like me?"
Yin Shuang was a little confused.
How could he possibly want to marry her? How could he possibly like her?
How could any man like her current appearance, if she didn't even like herself? "It's probably because of my heart's desire. I haven't had much contact with women, so I don't really understand what it means to be loved, but I can't bear to see you being wronged, and I just want everything to be well for you."
What he didn't say was that he didn't want to see her marry someone else either.
She has been with him for two whole years. He has long been accustomed to her and cannot live without her. He hopes that she can stay with him for a long time.
In the past, this thought was very vague and he didn't even realize it, because she was always by his side, quiet and considerate, and never gave him the chance to realize it.
But after being pointed out by Xiao Si, this thought grew like weeds and could no longer be suppressed.
He cared about her, and in his heart, she was more important than all other noble ladies.
"Do you tend to like ugly girls?"
Yin Shuang still found it unbelievable. From a normal perspective, he shouldn't like her, but he actually admitted that he liked her.
Although it is not very firm and clear, it is completely sufficient.
How could this happen?
This had always been the most secret desire in her heart, but when it really happened, Yin Shuang still felt it was outrageous.
In addition to being the biological brother of Duke Ningguo, he also holds a high position and is favored by the emperor. How could he not marry any woman? How could he marry an ugly, shameful maid like her? "Hey, what are you talking about?"
Yun Zhan frowned slightly, "There are countless women in Dawu Country who are uglier than you. If you can be my wife just by being ugly, then it really won't be your turn."
Yin Shuang: “…”
"I've already told you my feelings. You can reject me, but you can't doubt my intentions. Of course, don't be so hasty to reject me. I'll give you enough time to think about it."
After enduring it again and again, Yun Zhan still couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.
"Although her appearance is damaged, she is not as ugly as you think. Her eyes are beautiful, so beautiful that they can cover up all her shortcomings."
Beauty is not just in the eyes, beauty is everywhere!
*The next day.
Front yard hall.
Yun Wanning was awakened by waves of pungent fragrance. Before she opened her eyes, her nose began to twitch.
[It smells so good, I seem to smell the aroma of roast goose, as well as braised pork trotters, honey-glazed barbecued pork, cordyceps duck tongue, mushroom soup, pickled sea bass, almond bergamot, and mutton pot~]
[Hiss, my saliva is about to flow out. ]
[Ahhh, Dad and Mom are so mean, they clearly know that I can't eat it yet, but they still let me smell it, woo woo, I want to eat it, I want to eat it, I want to eat it too. ]
[I don’t want to drink milk, I want to eat, wuwuwu, hissing…]
Everyone: “…”
At the round table, everyone looked at the table full of food and looked at each other in bewilderment as they heard her shouting while swallowing her saliva.
In the past, she was always coaxed by the wet nurse during mealtimes, but today the wet nurse had to go back home for something, and she was afraid that she would wake up and want to drink milk, so she brought her over. But she didn't expect it to be like this.
Everyone didn't know what to do.
"I'll go see Xiao Si."
Mrs. Yun got up from her chair and walked towards Yun Wanning. She thought that the little baby must be hungry after waking up, which was why she couldn't stand the smell of food. As long as she filled her stomach, she wouldn't be so greedy.
"Where's Yun Wanye? Why hasn't he come yet?"
The whole family was together, except Yun Wanye, who was nowhere to be seen. The food he had been waiting for was almost getting cold. Yun Zheng's face fell and Yun Wanyao shook her head.
"I don't know, maybe I just slept in."
Yun Zheng's face became even uglier. Just as he was about to ask someone to call him, he saw Yun Wanye peeking out from the door.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to go out for, so I won't have dinner. You guys can eat by yourselves."
"Come in."
Yun Zheng looked at him with a dark face, as if he could get furious at any moment. Yun Wanye felt a little frightened and walked in with his body shrunken.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Dad, what are you calling me for?"
"Why didn't you come over earlier to say hello if you didn't want to eat? Do you know that so many of us are waiting for you?"
"Dad, I was wrong. I will definitely come earlier next time. Otherwise, don't wait for me next time. If I come late, I will starve."
Yun Wanye quickly admitted his mistake and stroked his father’s fur with a smile. He didn’t want to be beaten here.
I got beaten up so early in the morning. How unlucky would my day be today?
More importantly, when I see my friends later, they will laugh to death.
"Hmph, what are you going out for?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly and looked him up and down, feeling displeased no matter how he looked at him.
Yun Wanye did not dare to hide anything and reported his itinerary truthfully.
"It's Wei Zhaohui's birthday today, and he has invited many friends to gather at Zui Xiang Lou. I'm going to celebrate his birthday."
[What? The plot of the riot at Zui Xiang Lou is happening today? ]
[Dad, hold him down and don't let him go out. If my second brother goes out, he will cause trouble.]
Yun Wanning, who was breastfeeding, heard the two key words "Wei Zhaohui" and "Zui Xiang Lou". Her eyes suddenly twitched and she stopped drinking milk, shouting wildly in her heart.
Everyone: “…”
Yun Wanye: “…”
Everyone was shocked and their ears perked up.
Especially Yun Wanye, his lips trembled, and he felt a little anxious. No way, he couldn't be so unlucky, could he? Was it going to happen to him again? Why was he so unlucky?
Little sister, tell me quickly, what kind of bad luck will your dearest second brother encounter today?
Telling it in advance will also give me, your second brother, some idea of what is going on.
[Wei Zhaohui is one of my second brother's good friends. Today, he held a birthday banquet at Zui Xiang Lou and invited several of his good friends.]
[This group of dandies gathered together, drinking and having fun, and each of them drank a little too much. ]
[When I was about to finish drinking, I met Lu Huaijin who came to Zui Xiang Lou with his friends. ]
[My second brother has always been at odds with Lu Huaijin, and has often slandered and abused him behind his back. The few playboys he hangs out with naturally know this.]
[Intoxicated, a few playboys, in order to please the second brother, took the initiative to provoke Lu Huaijin, mocking and ridiculing him for being a gigolo.]
[The other party responded with a few words, which unexpectedly angered the alcohol-driven second brother and his gang, and the two sides started fighting, and the situation gradually got out of control. ]
[In the chaos, one of Lu Huaijin's good friends was beaten to death, and even Lu Huaijin was seriously injured. ]
[Someone was killed, and the people in the restaurant reported the case. The people from Jingzhao Yin showed up quickly and arrested the second brother and his gang.]
[How can someone who can stand with Lu Huaijin have a low status? ]
[Unfortunately, the one who was beaten to death was the illegitimate son of the Zhengyi doctor.]
[The Minister of Justice and the Marquis of Changle jointly filed a complaint with the Emperor, and brought the matter before the Emperor. In addition, the Princess felt sorry for her future husband being injured, so the matter became a big fuss.]
[My second brother was beaten with a hundred sticks and demoted to a criminal. A young master who accidentally killed someone was beheaded. The rest of the young masters, including Wei Zhaohui, were all punished and demoted to criminals. They were sent to the border to do hard labor to build the city wall.]
[This incident also affected my father and my seventh uncle. My father was accused by the censors of not being a good parent. Countless officials submitted memorials, asking the emperor to issue an order to punish my father.]
[The emperor had no choice but to suspend my father's post, fine him one year's salary, and confine my father to house arrest for half a year.]
【……】
Is it so serious?
Mrs. Yun's body trembled, and she lost hold of the spoon in her hand, so the milk splashed onto Yun Wanning's face, but fortunately not too much.
Yun Wanning was stunned by a spoonful of milk.
[Mom, what are you thinking about? You even splashed milk on my face. ]
[Help me wipe it quickly, it's so wet and uncomfortable. 】
Mrs. Yun came to her senses, quickly put the bowl of milk aside, took the handkerchief and gently wiped the milk off her face.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Si, my hands were shaking just now."
[It's okay. I won't blame my mother. ]
[Everyone is careless sometimes, I understand. 】
Mrs. Yun smiled slightly, helped her wipe it clean, and looked up at Yun Wanye.
"Since you came back from the military camp, you've been out every few days, either drinking or having fun. You've been doing nothing all day long. It's simply outrageous."
"If you really have nothing to do, then go back to the barracks and practice your skills in killing the enemy, so that you won't hinder your father in the future on the battlefield."
[Yes, yes, yes, mother is right. If you have nothing to do, go to the military camp for training. It is easy to get into trouble if you run outside all day. Especially today, you must not go out.]
[Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and they fight over a disagreement. What's the point of fighting? If you lose, you go to the hospital, and if you win, you lose money. It's not worth it no matter how you look at it.]
[Is it that the 100 strokes are comfortable? Or is it that being a sinner is glorious? Do you really like repairing the city wall? ]
Yun Wanye: “…”
Why does he feel like he's already guilty of a more serious crime even though he hasn't done anything yet?
"I agree with my lady. This kid has been too carefree lately. It's time for him to pack up and return to the barracks."
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and spoke in a sinister voice.
You like fighting, right? Then go to the military camp and fight. What kind of hero is it to fight outside? He would tell Deputy General Pei to take good care of this kid.
"Dad, Mom, I will go back to the military camp. Can we wait until after the New Year? Big brother and Uncle Seven just came back, and I want to spend more time with big brother."
Yun Wanye smiled awkwardly. In the face of Yun Wanning's thoughts, he didn't dare to refute at all. He could only try his best to get the greatest benefits for himself under the premise of obedience.
"Really? Since you want to accompany me, then don't go out today. My legs have recovered well recently, so you can stay in the mansion today and exercise with me."
Yun Wanchen smiled slightly, his smile was warm and gentle, like the bright moon and the clear wind.
