Chapter 439: Maybe I like it
Do you like it?
"I don't know whether he likes me or not, but I'm afraid." Wen Yan looked at Brother Chen Qi, "Brother Qi, people's hearts are fickle. I can't afford to take the risk."
"Xiao Wenyan. When I came back this time, I found that you have changed a lot.
Could you tell me what happened?"
Wen Yan pinched her hands and hesitated for a long time.
Finally, he asked, "Did Chi Fei ever tell you that I can predict dreams?"
Brother Chen Qi: "When he was talking to Xi Yan, I happened to hear a few words."
“Although it was a dream, I felt as if I had experienced it myself.
In that dream, Wen Ruyue and I did not exchange marriages.
I married Huo Yaoxing.
Huo Yaoxing was very good to me at first. We were like one husband and wife, and I worked hard to make money to help him succeed. But in the end, he only regarded me as a stepping stone.
He and Wen Ruyue secretly sneaked into Chencang, and he let my child drown in the lake in winter.
In the end, in order to make Wen Ruyue happy, he asked Wen Ruyue to kill me with her own hands.
At the beginning he also said he loved me and tried to make me happy.
He is a hundred times better at sweet talk than Ying Zhilin.
But people’s hearts are fickle, and I don’t want to gamble on other people’s kindness again.”
"Xiao Wenyan, you..." Brother Chen Qi held her hand, giving her strength and comforting her.
"Seventh Brother, you're right. I might like Ying Zhilin."
outside the house.
Ying Zhilin was sitting under the windowsill.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
However, before his smile could fully unfold, he heard the person in the room continue to speak:
"But I don't want to put my fate in the hands of others again."
Brother Chen Qi didn't try to persuade him any further: "As long as you are happy, I support all your decisions."
"Seventh Brother, thank you."
Brother Chen Qi rubbed her hair lovingly: "I am your brother, there is no need to thank me."
"Since you've made up your mind, then tell Ying Zhilin as soon as possible. I see he's deeply in love with you... It would be cruel to keep him hanging."
"I... will find an opportunity." Wen Yan agreed.
"Then...should I accompany you? Or should I let you be alone for a while?" Brother Chen Qi took care of her feelings.
"I'd better stay alone for a while and think about how to tell Ying Zhilin later."
Brother Chen Qi didn't bother him anymore and got up and left.
After Ying Zhilin went out, he saw Ying Zhilin sitting under the window, hugging his knees with a sad face, like a poor puppy.
Brother Chen Qi sighed, hesitated to speak, then shook his head and left.
Ying Zhilin is now sweet, bitter and sour.
Yanyan doesn't dislike herself, she's just afraid.
Since she was afraid, he would eliminate all the sources of her fear.
As long as they are together, he can do anything.
Ying Zhilin made a decision and implemented it immediately.
He just stood up and squatted down again.
Wen Yan almost discovered that he was eavesdropping.
He hugged his legs and moved away from the window little by little, then stood up and left home.
**
Wen Yan is not a person who drags his feet.
Now that things have come to this, it's better to cut the Gordian knot.
After she figured out how to start the conversation, she went out to find Ying Zhilin.
But he was told that Ying Zhilin had already gone out.
"Where did he go?"
"My uncle didn't say, but he went out on horseback."
"It's probably an urgent matter." Wen Yan returned to the study dejectedly.
Capital city.
Imperial Palace.
The maid limped back to the palace of the fifth princess Ji Xiangyun.
The Sixth Princess, who was leaving, couldn't help but look at her a few more times and said to Ji Xiangyun, "Fifth sister, does Aunt Danqing seem to be injured?"
Ji Xiangyun looked at her maid Danqing: "What's wrong with your leg?"
The maid quickly replied, "I accidentally fell while walking."
"He's limping, it seems he's seriously injured. Aunt Danqing should take some time to go to the Imperial Hospital to see a doctor, so as not to let the old injury get to her body."
"Thank you for your concern, Sixth Princess. I will go."
The Sixth Princess nodded and left.
Once the palace door was closed, only Ji Xiangyun and his servants were left.
Danqing immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty in a fearful manner: "Your Highness, I have been exposed."
"What's wrong with you?"
“It’s my fault for not doing my job well.
They held a celebration banquet yesterday. In the evening, the number one scholar and... a woman watched the moon and drank wine. Finally... finally..."
Danqing didn't dare to say the rest of the words, for she was afraid that the Fifth Princess would take her life in a fit of rage.
"What was that last part? Hurry up and tell me! You're hesitating. Do you want me to punish you?"
Danqing closed his eyes, made up his mind, and shouted: "The champion poured wine on himself, soaked his body to seduce that woman, and they even had sex."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Danqing quickly excused herself: "I wanted to stop them from doing what they wanted, but I didn't expect that there was a master hiding in that house, who injured me with a hidden weapon.
If I hadn't escaped in time, I would have been caught by them."
"Waste! You can't even handle such a small thing." Ji Xiangyun waved his hand irritably, telling her to get out quickly.
Ji Xiangyun's face was distorted with anger.
What woman.
It is clearly Ying Zhilin's wife.
hateful!
Ying Zhilin actually has another woman.
The Queen's bedroom.
After paying her respects to the Queen, the Sixth Princess couldn't wait to complain: "I just went to see my Fifth Sister, and when I came out, I met Aunt Danqing.
Aunt Danqing is limping when she walks. I guess she's helping Fifth Sister do something bad again."
The Queen smiled and said, "Let her be. I cannot lay hands on Concubine Lan's daughter."
"Why are you stretching out your hand?" followed by a retort.
The emperor walked in.
The Queen smiled and joked, "Xiao Liu was naughty, so I asked her to reach out and slap her palm."
The emperor smiled and said, "Xiao Liu must have done something to make you angry. He deserves a beating."
The Sixth Princess pouted and acted coquettishly: "My parents bully me!"
The Empress looked at the Emperor: "Is the Emperor in a bad mood? Or is there something troubling the previous dynasty again?"
"Isn't it Wen, the Minister of Rites? Every day, there's no peace at home."
**
The whole afternoon.
Wen Yan didn't see Ying Zhilin.
He didn't show up for dinner either.
Brother Chen Qi said, "Could it be that he heard our conversation this afternoon and ran away from home in anger?"
Wen Yan: "...No way! He's not that angry."
Ying Zhilin, apart from other things, has a gentle and stable temperament.
Brother Chen Qi rolled his eyes in his heart.
He is only good-tempered in front of you.
When they deal with us, their minds are narrower than the tip of a needle.
You should know that Lin is late in returning.
Wen Yan is always worried.
After washing up, she sat by the window and waited.
suddenly.
There was a sound of cloth rubbing against each other, and someone climbed over the wall into the yard.
Wen Yan reacted very quickly. He immediately blew out the oil lamp and candle, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and hid behind the door.
After a while, the footsteps stopped outside her door.
There was a knock on the door, and Ying Zhilin's hoarse voice came: "Are you asleep? I'm Ying Zhilin, I have something to tell you."
Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door: "How did you climb over the wall? I thought there was a thief in the house."
"Don't worry, our home is very safe. Uncle Kang and Seventh Brother are at home, and no thief can climb over the wall and get in." Ying Zhilin touched her head soothingly.
