Chapter 189 Feng Moheng's Romance
The night is as dark as ink.
Shen Yuling has been in the Marquis' Mansion for about ten days.
Tonight, she was once again concentrating on examining the income and expenditure accounts of the Marquis' Mansion under the dim candlelight.
Since she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she had been secretly keeping an eye on the manor under Feng Moheng's name, and quietly asked the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion indirectly, trying to find out where Liu Jingyi was.
However, judging from the housekeeper's response, each farm seemed to be running very normally, with no trace of other women being kept.
Shen Yuling thought again and realized that Feng Moheng, as he holds the dual identities of Prince of Lingyang and Marquis Guiming, must be cautious in his actions. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he would naturally not easily place Liu Jingyi in the manor under the name of Marquis Guiming.
Moreover, the remote Haiyu City is far away from the prosperous Ruijin County, and it is very likely that Liu Jingyi was taken to Ruijin County by him.
Even if she didn't live in his manor, he would probably use the money from the mansion to support her.
Sure enough, when Shen Yuling checked the accounts recently, she found several rather suspicious accounts.
Among them, there is a sum of money that is spent regularly every month, and from time to time there is also expenditure on medicinal materials. The whereabouts of this money is unclear.
In addition, there were a few bills that seemed a bit strange.
Shen Yuling made up his mind to find an opportunity to investigate privately.
Just as Shen Yuling was staring at the accounts in deep thought, Feng Moheng came to Lingxinyuan.
He saw that Shen Yuling's room was pitch black, with only the study brightly lit, so he walked towards the light.
He sat down beside her in a familiar and natural manner, his eyes falling on the open account book: "What are you looking at? It's so late, be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Shen Yuling raised her eyebrows slightly, placed the bill in front of him, and tapped the account several times with her white fingers.
Pretending to be angry, "Of course I'm checking your bills to see if you're secretly keeping another woman."
After saying that, she turned sideways, held his collar with her jade hands, and her eyes were full of coquettishness and domineering: "You are mine."
Feng Moheng smiled dotingly, put his arms around her waist and rested his head on her neck.
His warm breath sprayed on her skin, and he said like a child, "Well, I am yours, completely and totally yours."
"Now, what I miss most every day is to be with you. In the past, I always wanted to fill myself with various affairs, but now I just hope to finish all the affairs as soon as possible, return to the Marquis' Mansion early, and meet you."
He whispered softly. Shen Yuling looked indifferent where he saw her. She didn't feel anything about it. She just stroked his black hair gently with one hand.
Feng Moheng sensed her tenderness and continued, "Ruijin County has many picturesque views, and I want to take you to appreciate them all."
"There are other county towns nearby with many fun places to visit, and I'd like to go there with you."
"It's just that Quan Minghe has been staying in Ruijin County recently. I can't figure out what he's thinking. I don't know if he doesn't believe that you've passed away, so he hasn't left yet, or... he has other plans in Ruijin County."
Feng Moheng frowned slightly: "That's why I never take you out."
"Will you feel bored staying in the Marquis' Mansion all day?"
Shen Yuling shook her head gently and looked at him with a smile: "You find different ways to make me happy every day, so I never get bored. What new things did you bring back for me today?"
Feng Moheng showed a mysterious smile: "Don't worry, you will like it."
After saying that, Feng Moheng stood up, took Shen Yuling's hand, and gently lifted her up.
As soon as he stepped out of the study, Feng Moheng inadvertently looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and his expression changed slightly.
"Oh no! When I saw you, I forgot about the important things. I'm afraid I'm running out of time!"
He grabbed Shen Yuling's hand and started jogging.
The two of them hurried down the winding stairs, then walked around the quiet bluestone path and quickly walked out of the yard. |
Just when they were about to reach the destination, Feng Moheng suddenly stopped, and with gentle yet somewhat mysterious movements, he pulled out a ribbon from his arms and covered Shen Yuling's eyes.
Suddenly, everything in front of him went dark, but Shen Yuling did not panic. Instead, she joked, "Are you so sure that I will like it? If I don't like it, I would like to see the Marquis take off his clothes and practice swordplay. I think that scene will definitely make me happy."
Feng Moheng was stunned when he heard her strange request.
If she really likes it, it's not a bad idea to make her smile.
But she would definitely like the surprise he had prepared tonight.
In this way, Shen Yuling, encouraged by Feng Moheng, moved forward step by step.
After walking for an unknown distance, Feng Moheng and Shen Yuling stopped.
He reached out from behind Shen Yuling and removed the ribbon covering her eyes.
Shen Yuling slowly opened her eyes and her thick eyelashes blinked gently a few times.
Instantly, the sight before her brightened her eyes and she couldn't help but hold her breath.
It’s actually a night-blooming cereus!
The green sepals are slowly opening.
The snow-white petals peek out from the depths of the bud, stretching out layer by layer like a beauty stretching lazily, and each petal is so pure that there is not a trace of dust on it.
The edges are slightly curled, just like a jade ornament carefully carved by a skilled craftsman, exquisite and elegant.
What is even more shocking is that sixteen night-blooming cereus flowers bloomed at the same time. Their petals were intertwined with each other, yet arranged in an orderly manner, together forming a dreamlike sea of white flowers.
The golden stamens sway in the breeze, like stars twinkling among the flowers.
For a moment, the faint and elegant fragrance spread and lingered around.
Shen Yuling had seen the beautiful sight of blooming night-blooming cereus, but this was the first time she had seen so many night-blooming cereus blooming at the same time.
Just as she was still immersed in the beauty of the Epiphyllum, she saw an even more shocking scene - a white peacock suddenly spread its tail feathers behind the Epiphyllum!
She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Wow!"
When the peacock had not spread its feathers, it was hiding behind the Epiphyllum, and Shen Yuling had not noticed it at all.
At this moment, the peacock's pure white tail feathers are like a huge and gorgeous jade fan, slowly unfolding under the caress of the moonlight.
The edge of each feather has a soft and charming luster, as if it was inlaid with a layer of fine silver.
The blue and gold stripes dotted on it are like the twinkling stars in the night sky scattered down to the earth, beautiful as a dream.
The peacock gently shakes its tail feathers, and the feathers rub against each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
In the past ten days, Feng Moheng would find different ways to bring her surprises every day, as if he was really trying his best to practice his words that he would love her well and make up for the mistakes he had made.
No wonder women in the world are always easily attracted to bad men. Even if they know that the other party has bad behavior, they still fall into the vortex of love without hesitation like moths to a flame.
After all, who can resist the charm of a handsome man who is willing to spend time and effort to make you happy?
Of course Shen Yuling also likes Feng Moheng's romance.
Unfortunately, whether it is Feng Moheng or Quan Minghe, they all hope to start over with her, but such hope is just delusion for Shen Yuling.
At the beginning of their relationship, Quan Minghe warned her not to fall in love with him, but she was the one who always stuck to this statement, while he fell deeply in love without realizing it.
Now that he was hurt by his feelings, how could he blame her?
As for Feng Moheng, he was wavering between her and Liu Jingyi, and the moment he chose Liu Jingyi, there was no possibility for them to start over.
Feng Moheng looked at Shen Yuling's eyes filled with joy and amazement, and a sweet feeling surged in his heart.
He put his arms around her waist, and Shen Yuling unconsciously raised her head and stood on tiptoe under his movements.
Feng Moheng lowered his head, and in the watery moonlight, he gently kissed his wife, as if he wanted to blend all the beauty in the world into this kiss. He wanted to give her everything he could...
