Chapter 78 I Almost Became a Widow
In the dark, his eyesight was still amazing.
A delicate white little foot was placed on the ink-colored dark-patterned silk quilt. The round toes were so cute that he had an urge to play with them.
It was a cool August night, but Yuan Wanru was wrapped too tightly, and with a masculine man beside her, she felt stuffy without realizing it. In a daze, she stretched out one foot.
Her feet rubbed back and forth on the quilt like a naughty little white rabbit. She changed two or three angles and finally found a comfortable position before she settled down and stopped moving.
However, Lu Jiangnian felt itchy in the middle of his legs due to her rubbing. His whole body felt like a taut bowstring. His weak parts were already...
He clenched his fists so hard that veins bulged, and he really wanted to give this woman who was sleeping soundly a beating.
Does she know that you can't just light a man's fire, and if you light a fire, you have to be responsible for putting it out!
He closed his eyes and breathed deeply...
Finally, I suppressed the desire in my heart.
With a sigh, he reached out and grabbed her ankles, trying to move her feet off of him.
As soon as he placed his thick palm on it, the touch, as smooth as cheese, made him reluctant to let go.
She got angry, but she didn't care, so it wasn't too much for him to touch her feet, right?
Lu Jiangnian once inadvertently saw peasant women walking barefoot on the ground, but the feet of those peasant women were completely different from Yuan Wanru's jade feet.
The slender foot in his hand was whiter than mutton-fat jade, emitting a bright glow, soft and gentle, as if it had no bones. He stroked it carefully and couldn't let it go.
I never knew that he could be so distracted just because of a soft little foot.
Yuan Wanru felt her feet itchy in her sleep and thought a mosquito was biting her, "You stinky mosquito, go away!"
She swung her feet impatiently and almost kicked Lu Jiangnian somewhere, turning him into a eunuch.
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
How could he dare to have any romantic thoughts? He looked at the sleeping woman with a dark face, gnashing his teeth in anger and cursing in a low voice: "Stupid woman, you almost made me a widow!"
-
It was a dreamless night. When Yuan Wanru woke up, it was already bright and Lu Jiangnian was nowhere to be seen.
The outer quilt had been neatly folded and placed at her feet.
She got up and washed up, thinking back to last night, when it seemed like there were mosquitoes disturbing her sweet dreams. "Liuzhi, we need to fumigate the mosquitoes tonight."
Liuzhi was surprised: "It's already cold, and there are still mosquitoes?"
Yuan Wanru nodded: "I think there are still one or two left. Anyway, let's fumigate them to prevent them from flying into the tent again tonight."
After breakfast, she went out with Liuzhi and Xu Pozi.
Tomorrow Cao Lanxin will take Liang Yusong to Hongxiufang. Today she will survey the terrain and make a plan.
The carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery went all the way to Chunming Street and stopped at Xiji Teahouse on Chunming Street.
To the left of Xiji Teahouse is Renji Pharmacy, and to the right is Hongxiufang.
The last time, when Liu Yan helped her go to Renji Pharmacy to get medicine, she happened to see several strong men gathered at the door of Hongxiufang, beating up a man of about seventeen or eighteen years old. The man was beaten all over his body and had two broken ribs.
The owner of Renji Pharmacy kindly carried him in for treatment, thus saving his life.
After asking out of curiosity, Liu Yan found out that the man's family ran a cloth shop and Hongxiufang had been buying goods from them all year round but had never paid.
It was already difficult to run a small business, and the man's parents were sick and had no money to see a doctor or buy medicine, so he turned to Hongxiufang.
Hongxiufang was the property of the Jiang family. They relied on the Jiang family's bullying to dominate the market, purchase cloth at low prices, and even robbed it, seizing other people's assets without spending a penny.
Forced by the power of the Chiang family, many people had no choice but to swallow their anger.
This time, the man was really in trouble and he mustered up the courage to go to the house to collect the debt.
But the owner of Hongxiufang refused to admit it. Not only that, he called a group of thugs to beat him half to death.
Liu Yan was so angry that day that he told Yuan Wanru about it when he came back.
Because Jiang Suiyuan instigated Murong Ling to intercept Lu Jiangnian at Qingfeng Tower, Yuan Wanru had no good feelings towards the Jiang family. After hearing about this, she hated the Jiang family even more.
This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, she also took the opportunity to trick Hongxiufang.
They went up to the private room on the right side of the second floor. The open wooden window faced Chunming Street. Looking out from the window of Xiji Teahouse and through the window lattice of Hongxiufang, they could clearly see the layout of the first floor of Hongxiufang.
"Mrs. Xu, you stay here and watch. Liuzhi and I will go to Hongxiufang to check the place where we can try on clothes."
Mother Xu said in a deep voice: "Madam, rest assured, I will definitely check it carefully."
Yuan Wanru was dressed elegantly. The lady who greeted guests at Hongxiufang enthusiastically introduced the fashionable clothes: "Madam, this is the newest style in the south. You will look very beautiful in it."
Yuan Wanru responded casually and looked around the layout of Hongxiufang inconspicuously.
Because of their aggressive management style, the cost of clothes is relatively low, so the prices here are not expensive. There are many customers coming and going, which shows that business is booming.
Yuan Wanru looked around casually, picked out two pieces, and went to the fitting room.
The window on the right side of the fitting room faces diagonally the private room of Xiji Tea House. From here, she can see Mrs. Xu standing by the window.
The room is not very spacious, so a large skylight was opened on top to let in light.
She was very satisfied. With this skylight, tomorrow's plan would definitely succeed.
After buying the clothes, she took Liuzhi back to the private room.
When Mrs. Xu saw her, she said confidently, "Madam, as long as you can give me a signal in time tomorrow, I will be able to put the things in the room smoothly."
"Well, it all depends on you."
It was a rare opportunity for her to go out, so she walked around Chunming Street for a long time before she chose a small shop, ate something, and went home.
I heard that Murong Ling's injuries have fully healed, but the princess kept a close eye on her and did not let her leave the Prince Qin's Mansion.
After attending the fifth prince's wedding, Princess Qin will take Murong Ling away from the capital.
Yuan Wanru felt much happier as she didn't meet any annoying people when she went out.
After returning to Lingshuiju, she closed the door and prepared the medicine. After working for half an hour, she finally prepared the bait.
"Grandma Xu, this medicine can help you catch those little creatures and make them sleep until tomorrow morning. Go to the bamboo forest tonight and try it. Catch about ten of them."
Mrs. Xu was a reliable person and didn't like to ask too many questions. She took the pills and left.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Tomorrow, Liang Yusong's "liveliness" will definitely make her eat an extra bowl of rice.
When Lu Jiangnian came in, he saw her overjoyed look and couldn't help but ask with amusement, "Did you find gold today?"
Otherwise, why would she smile so happily?
Yuan Wanru winked at him playfully: "I'm happier than finding gold, but I won't tell you."
Lu Jiangnian liked to see her lively like this: "Okay, keep your little secret secret."
"Tomorrow is the fifth prince's wedding. You and I will attend the banquet together in the evening."
