Chapter 172: I am not used to sleeping with someone
Nanny Feng was tasting the sacred Maojian tea given to her by Princess Ning. When she saw Chen Heng come in, she smiled and said, "Did you hear everything?"
"Mammy, how did you know I heard everything?" Shen Heng looked puzzled. She had not been seen by the mammy just now.
"The corners of your mouth are raised, and your eyes are full of joy. You don't look worried at all these days. You must have heard what Madam Xia and I said just now." Nanny Feng stood up and asked Shen Heng to sit down, and personally made tea for her.
"Thank you, Madam. You're really amazing." Chen Heng praised sincerely, "Thank you also for your advice to my sister-in-law. Ah Jian and I really don't know what to do."
"It's gone."
Chen Heng thought for a moment and said, "After the incident is over, I will definitely tell Madam what happened in detail. I can't tell you now."
"Yes." Nanny Feng nodded. She was not interested in what happened, but she liked that Shen Heng could speak so frankly.
That night, Chen Heng felt that she could sleep peacefully. However, influenced by Xie Jian, she now read a book every night before going to bed to absorb some knowledge.
The things on the table belonged to Xie Jian, but he had no interest in even flipping through them.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Heng squatted down and took out a box from under the bed. She opened it and took out the confiscated books: "The Treasure Mirror of Extreme Joy", "The Unofficial History of the Embroidered Bed", and "The Cave of Joy".
"Let's read Embroidered Bed Unofficial History first. It sounds like it should be quite interesting." Chen Heng put the rest of the heavy items under the bed. She looked at the cover, which looked quite impressive, but the illustrations that could not be written in words would make people physically and mentally unhealthy. Ahem: "I'm an adult, so it's okay for me to read this. But adults definitely can't read it."
Open it gently and look at the table of contents first.
Chapter 1 Contents: Mandarin ducks playing in the water, ahhhhhhh
Chapter 2 Contents: Like a Duck in Water, Uh-huh
"The table of contents is a bit random. I wonder what the content is like." When Chen Heng was about to turn to the first page, she suddenly heard the sound of a gong outside. She was so scared that she quickly closed the book and put it under the mattress.
In my memory, beating the gong meant something had happened, but I didn’t know what it was.
When Shen Heng came out of the room, she saw Nanny Feng and Xia opening the door.
Not only them, but the doors of several houses next door were opened and everyone stuck their heads out to look in.
"What's going on so late at night?" a neighbor asked.
"There are spies from the enemy country trying to escape from the imperial capital. A curfew will begin on the 1st. The city gates will be closed at 18:00 every day. If you want to leave, you must have an order from the three government offices. Everyone, tell each other." The man beating the gong shouted to the people around him and then went to another street.
"Enemy country's spy?" This was the first time Xia had heard the term "spy." "Then let's bolt the doors early these past few nights."
Nanny Feng nodded: "If they want to investigate the spies, there's no telling when the investigation will end." She had lived for fifty years and had encountered curfews only once, the longest of which had lasted a year.
A spy? Shen Heng's mind flashed back to the day she was knocked unconscious and taken out of the city gate. Those people then called Lord Lu a traitor? Could it be that the same group of people were behind this again?
I wonder if Lord Lu and Ajian are in danger?
That night, when Xie Jian came back, Shen Heng was already asleep. She left him a note on the table: "Sister-in-law is gone."
Xie Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at his wife sleeping soundly on the bed. Suddenly, he didn't want to read anymore. He turned off the lights and went to bed. Just as he lay down, he saw a book under Ah Heng's pillow.
