Chapter 208 Moonlight Boat (12)
"Hmm?" Every time he called her this, he would wait for her to respond before he could say anything else.
Facing his deep gaze, Ming Yuelin inexplicably wanted to retreat. His eyes were clearly calm, but she felt that beneath this calmness, there was a danger hidden that she had never seen.
"Want me to play some more?"
Ming Yuelin pursed the corners of his lips and said, "You are doing fine now."
"Hmm." Ji Rangzhou subtly touched the corner of her lips with his fingertips and withdrew his hand. "Are you going down?"
"Let's go." Mingyuelin pulled his sleeve.
Ji Rangzhou simply took her hand and took her downstairs.
During the Lantern Festival, it’s okay to do something a little out of the ordinary.
Looking at his back as he walked in front of her, Mingyuelin couldn't help but smile and shook his hand back.
The night wind is still cold, but the warmth from my palms is warm and hot.
At the hour of Hai, Mingyue Linren was already feeling a little tired, so Ji Rangzhou sent her back to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
Pinching her face, he said, "Have a good rest."
Mingyuelin nodded and entered the mansion.
He would go out to play with Shi Jianli or Princess Kangning from time to time, and cultivate his relationship with his fiancé. As the days passed, his brothers got married one after another.
When Ji Rangzhou was busy, Ming Yuelin would play with his sister-in-law and younger sisters, or go to play with Yu Yiluo.
One morning in June, Ming Yuelin happily agreed to the invitation when she learned that Ji Rangzhou asked her out.
In the Shili Fengguang Tower, Mingyuelin was brought into the box by Chengmian.
"Second Miss Ming." Xing Zhao, who was standing next to Ji Rangzhou, asked her.
Ming Yuelin nodded and sat down next to Ji Rangzhou. "Aren't you on duty today? How come you have time to look for me?"
"The Dali Temple has been quiet lately, so there's no need for me to be in charge." Ji Rangzhou rubbed her head out of habit. "Don't you want to go to private school?"
"Master, something's up. I'm a little thirsty."
Ji Rangzhou poured her half a cup of tea and looked up at Xing Zhao.
Xing Zhao coughed lightly, attracting Ming Yuelin's attention, and then said, "Something happened yesterday. I wonder if you would like to hear about it, young lady."
"What's the matter?" Ming Yuelin glanced at Ji Rangzhou. Without his instruction, how could Xing Zhao suddenly speak?
"Your former third sister, Mingyueshu, stopped our master's carriage yesterday."
Mingyuelin raised his chin and motioned him to continue.
"She exposed the Qiao family's bribery." Xing Zhao recounted Ming Yueshu's story in detail. "She was afraid the Qiao family would retaliate after learning of the situation, so she insisted on staying in the Dali Temple prison. She's still in there."
"She's not that stupid, and she doesn't intend to rot in the mud for the rest of her life." Ming Yuelin nudged Ji Rangzhou with his elbow. "Did you call me here today just to tell me this?"
"Secondary." Ji Rangzhou raised his hand, signaling Xing Zhao and Cheng Mian to leave.
"Then what is it mainly?" Ming Yuelin poked the braided rope that was exposed on his wrist when he raised his hand.
She gave him this braided rope and asked him to wear it. He obediently wore it every day. The red rope on his thin and strong wrist inexplicably added a sense of abstinence.
"See you." Facing her eyes that always pretended to be dissatisfied and puzzled when facing him, but naturally contained a smile that could not be concealed, Ji Rangzhou said what she wanted to hear as she wished.
Ming Yuelin approached him with a smile, "Are you free today?"
"Um."
The weather was stuffy in June, so Ji Rangzhou took the small fan she brought and fanned her.
Just after she said she was free in the morning, someone came in the afternoon to report that there was progress in the Qiao family bribery case. Ji Rangzhou had no choice but to say goodbye to her.
Mingyuelin was not disappointed. He strolled back to find Shi Jianli and prepared to share her gossip.
In July, Ming Zhouqing and Ming Zhouhe came of age. In August was Mingyue's birthday. After her birthday, she stopped going to private school and was forced by Yuan Yuhe to embroider her wedding dress.
After finishing embroidering the wedding dress in bits and pieces, Mingyuelin suddenly felt relieved.
Both of her sisters-in-law were pregnant, so she didn't dare to take them out to play, so she took Mingyue Si to find Yu Yiluo to play.
The night before her wedding, Mingyuelin couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep.
On the morning of September 11th, Yuan Yuhe dug her out of bed and personally dressed her up.
Seeing her usually lively daughter quiet, Yuan Yuhe pinched her face and said, "Why are you so quiet today? This is not like you."
"I just feel like I'm getting married soon, and I suddenly feel very melancholy."
Yuan Yuhe was silent for a moment and continued to put the hairpin on her.
After she was dressed, Shi Jianli held her hand and said, "Sister Lin, I can't bear to leave you."
Ming Yuelin gently avoided her belly and carefully hugged her waist. "I can't bear to leave you, Sister Li, but we will see each other again when we return home. Even if I get married, I will come back to play with you more often."
After talking for a while, Mingzhao knocked on the door and was led in by a maid. "Are you ready? If not, let Ji Youqian wait a little longer."
"alright."
Yuan Yuhe covered her with a veil, her eyes slightly red, the emotion in her eyes seemed to be both relieved and reluctant, "Go."
Before the veil fell, Ming Yuelin turned around and hugged her waist, pouting, "Mother, I'm getting married, you still have to love me as much as before."
"You child." Yuan Yuhe was a little amused and patted her on the back. "If your mother doesn't love you, who will she love?"
She raised her daughter with all her heart and doted on, and she always subconsciously loved her more than her two sons.
After coaxing her daughter gently, Yuan Yuhe covered her veil again.
Mingzhao was still squatting in front of his sister, "Come on up, I'll carry you to the sedan chair."
"Okay." Mingyuelin put her arms around his neck and was carried steadily on his back.
Ji Rangzhou faced him, saluted, and called out, "Big Brother."
"Well, be good to my sister." Mingzhao nodded, carried Mingyuelin to the sedan chair, patted her head weakly through the veil, and said with a smile: "Have a happy life."
"Yes, big brother." Mingyuelin responded to him.
The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers continued all the way. When Mingyuelin was sitting there feeling a little bored, the curtain was lifted, and a hand was put around her waist, accompanied by a cold yet familiar call: "Xiao Lin."
Mingyuelin subconsciously put her arms around his neck.
After carrying the bride down from the sedan chair, Ji Rangzhou held her over the fire basin, then put her down and took her to pay homage to his parents.
Mingyuelin silently held Ji Rangzhou's hand and let him lead her into the bridal chamber.
"Sit down." Ji Rangzhou led her to sit on the wedding bed, took the wedding scale, lifted the veil, and stared at her quietly.
The scene in front of him gradually became clear, and the bright moon met his deep eyes, which seemed to suppress the rolling dark clouds and conceal the crisis, no longer as calm as before.
Ming Yuelin felt an inexplicable dryness in her throat. She reached out and took his hand, saying coquettishly, "Ji Gudong, it's so heavy. My neck is so tired."
Ji Rangzhou sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, took off the jewelry on her hair, observed her expression, and when he saw that she didn't frown, he continued to take off the rest.
Ming Yuelin looked up at him, then rested her forehead on his shoulder to gain leverage for sitting, and kicked the corner of his clothes with the tip of her shoe.
Ji Rangzhou lowered his eyes, looked at her little movements, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
After removing the hair accessories, Ji Rangzhou stroked her cheek with his fingers, exerted force on his fingers, lifted her face so that she could face him, pressed his fingertips on the corner of her lips, his eyes dimmed slightly.
