Chapter 263 Rumors Spread



Li Nian was stunned.

Wen Luoqing? How did she know I was back in Beijing?

Is there nothing in this capital city that can be hidden?

"No." Li Nian took off her shoes and got on the bed. While covering herself with the quilt, she instructed, "Tell Xiaobai that if it's someone I don't know, try to refuse them if you can."

After Li Nian finished speaking, she lay down in bed and closed her eyes.

After a whole day and night, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. How could she have the time to deal with those annoying people?

Li Nian slept soundly and woke up in the middle of the night.

She felt a little annoyed, as if she had messed up her biological clock.

Li Nian lit all the candles in the room. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he went to the study to find a book to read.

She held the flickering candle in her hand and lit the lamp in the study.

She carefully observed the layout of the study.

A large carved window facing north, with a light green gauze curtain hanging on it.

Li Nian discovered that Xiao Yunyu seemed to like the color green very much?

The clothes were either black or green, and the curtains on the windows and bed were also green.

She walked slowly to the window and pushed open the intricately and exquisitely carved wooden window.

A breeze blew, bringing with it the faint fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, instantly making Li Nian feel refreshed.

The lanterns in the courtyard were lit with flickering candlelight, and you could roughly see the scenery in the courtyard.

The Furong Pavilion, which was separated from the Yunjing Court by a wall, was still brightly lit at this time, and the sounds of songs and musical instruments could be heard faintly.

The moon in the sky gradually set, the morning light in the east turned pale, and the sunlight shone through the clouds with a warm golden edge.

Li Nian sat on a wide chair by the window, watching the sunrise boredly.

Out of boredom, he went to the antique display cabinet to admire Xiao Yunyu's collection of vases and jade products.

After watching it, I still don’t understand what it means.

It was still early, and his eyes fell on the row of bookshelves against the wall.

Or maybe look for some books I can read?

I walked to the bookshelf and glanced at it. It seemed to be full of account books. I was not interested.

Hmm? Why does this cover look familiar?

Li Nian curiously picked up a book called "Women's Virtue" from the bookshelf and read it.

As soon as I opened it, I found a half-copied page of "Women's Virtues" stuck in the middle of the book.

Li Nian looked carefully at the handwriting on the paper. The first part looked like hers, but the rest seemed to be written by someone else. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, but gradually turned into the same small calligraphy with hairpin flowers as hers.

Li Nian suddenly remembered that when she was in the Xiao Mansion, she and Li Sisi were discovered visiting a brothel, so Old Madam Xiao punished her and Sisi by making them kneel in the ancestral hall and copy "The Virtues of Women".

At that time, Xiao Yunyu inexplicably snatched away the paper she had just copied halfway. Later, after a night, she inexplicably finished copying the "Female Virtue".

She and Sisi thought it was the spirit of their ancestors appearing.

Could it be that Xiao Yunyu took her paper in order to imitate her handwriting and help her copy books?

I copied it in one night and even imitated her handwriting.

At that time, he must have not slept all night, right?

Li Nian looked at the subtle changes in the handwriting on the white paper, and felt as if warm water was flowing through her heart, making her feel warm and soft.

It turned out that Xiao Yunyu didn't just dislike her at that time, he had been secretly caring about her without her knowing.

And she still didn't completely trust Xiao Yunyu. She had kept the fact that Jinhe was his own flesh and blood a secret from him.

That’s right!

Li Nian was shocked to realize that she had forgotten something important!

She promised Xiao Yunyu that she would write to him every day after returning to Beijing!

She forgot about it yesterday!

Li Nian hurried to the desk, ground ink, picked up the wolf-hair brush, dipped it in ink and began to write a letter to Xiao Yunyu.

She wanted to tell Xiao Yunyu that Jinhe was his daughter, and she had never had a short-lived husband from the beginning to the end, only him, Xiao Yunyu.

Before I knew it, the sunlight was pouring in through the carved windows, and the gardener in the yard began to tend to the flowers and plants again.

Gradually, the sound of footsteps and the low conversations of servants could be heard in the corridor on the second floor.

"Tell me, is what Miss Wen said yesterday true? Is this woman who just arrived really the eldest lady?"

"Impossible, right? The master buried the Madam himself. Could it be that she has come back to life and crawled out of the grave?"

"I saw the lady's true appearance once last year. She bears a resemblance to the woman who just arrived." The man suddenly lowered his voice and said proudly, "But the lady was a beauty, much more beautiful than this woman."

"Why did our master, who is in the northwest, keep someone who looks very similar to the eldest lady here?"

The girl, who felt she had seen the Madam before, said with disdain, "How can they be similar? Even though the Madam was just a concubine's daughter, she also attended a proper girls' school. How can she be compared to this vulgar woman from the northwest?"

"Isn't this person from the northwest? I guess our master originally just wanted to have fun with this woman, but ended up getting pestered by her. Our master got annoyed, so he sent this person to the capital."

Li Nian, who was in the study, heard their conversation and remembered that before going to bed yesterday, she seemed to have heard Xiaoying say that Wen Luoqing came to see her.

She was so sleepy at the time that she didn't take it seriously and thought it was just a dream when she woke up.

It turns out that Wen Luoqing really came to see her yesterday?

Li Nian put the letter into the drawer, stood up and opened the door.

He shouted fiercely and coldly, "What are you talking about here? Be careful or I'll tear your mouths apart! What do you mean I'm pestering Xiao Yunyu? It was clearly your master who took the initiative to pursue me!"

She swept her cold, sharp gaze over the servants and shouted a warning: "From now on, I will be your first wife. If I hear anyone mention A Yu's first wife again, even in private, I will sell her off immediately!"
