Ye Zijing was stunned for a moment, and the osmanthus cake in his hand suddenly loosened, rolling to the ground and covered with dust.
But no one noticed it.
Ye Zijing asked after a long while, his voice full of disbelief, "Why?"
Ning Yu closed her eyes, forced back the tears, and said, "...I'm already dirty. I was drugged that day..."
Ye Zijing was speechless.
Ye Zijing stared at her deeply, his voice serious and sincere, "Yu'er, I don't care about these."
He had guessed it that day.
But now that he heard Ning Yu say it herself, his heart was broken. Although he was angry, he felt more distressed for Ning Yu.
How scared she was when she was alone.
If he had gone there earlier, would Ning Yu have avoided going through all that?
Ning Yu was slightly stunned.
He suddenly understood why one of the original wish was fulfilled by Ye Zijing. This man was a modest gentleman, and he would probably say the same thing no matter who his fiancée was.
Ning Yu shook her head gently, tears welling in her eyes. "My father told me to get out last night. There's no room for me here anymore. I plan to leave the capital in a few days..."
Ye Zijing clenched his fists, hating himself for being incompetent. He moved his lips and wanted to ask her to leave the capital with him.
But Ye Zijing still had some rationality. The provincial examination was approaching and would begin in two months.
My mother attaches great importance to...
Ning Yu thought of an excuse, "Brother Zijing, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that you went to Shu to serve as an official, and then my eyes were blood red. Brother Zijing, you must be careful in everything you do and don't offend anyone..."
I secretly asked myself, "System, are there any weapons to protect people in the mall?"
Ye Zijing was, after all, a weak scholar, and she was really afraid that something might happen.
The system flipped through the store and found a one-time protective shield. It costs 1,000 merit points and can only be redeemed once per world. Host, are you sure you want to give it to Ye Zi? This world isn't peaceful.
When Ning Yu heard this, her heart ached so much that it felt like bleeding, but she gritted her teeth and replaced it anyway.
Soon, a sachet appeared silently in Ning Yu's hand.
Ning Yu pretended to take the sachet out of her sleeve and handed it to Ye Zijing. "Brother Zijing, this is for you. I wish you a happy and prosperous future together."
Ye Zijing tightly grasped the sachet, as if he wanted to keep something, but in the end he only said one sentence.
\"······Yu'er, let me give you a ride.\"
Ning Yu smiled and said, "Okay."
Those bright black eyes were smiling with curved eyebrows and a faint smile on the lips, which made people feel excited.
······
Spring Deep Tower.
"My Lord, I have investigated. The woman is the eldest daughter of the owner of a pastry shop in the capital. Her name is Ning Yu. She was tricked into being here by her stepsister Ning Chun'er... and she has a fiancé, Ye Zijing, who holds the title of scholar. I heard from the neighbors that they will get married when Ye Zijing passes the imperial examination..."
Wei Cheng knew almost everything about Ning Yu, even how many chickens she had at home.
After Wei Cheng finished speaking, he looked up at the Marquis.
Alas, I finally found a woman that the Marquis is willing to be close to, but it turns out that she already has a fiancé.
The man was wearing a black robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves and rock prints, and a jade belt around his waist. He looked broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and his figure was tall and graceful. He exuded a fierce and murderous aura that was frightening.
Changping Marquis Shen Zongyu frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows. His tone remained even, as he said, "In that case, I'll give the woman some silver as compensation."
Since that ridiculous night, he tried to find some women, but all failed, as there was no response from his body.
The thought of those women flirting and posing in front of him, with their alluring fragrance, made the alienation and indifference around him even worse.
Maybe that was just a coincidence.
Ning Yu had no idea that a windfall was about to come.
Before returning to the Ning family, Ning Yu first exchanged the pearl hairpin for some small change and went to buy some dry food.
After Ning Yu packed up his things, his eyes suddenly fell on the bronze mirror.
The woman in the bronze mirror has a pair of affectionate eyes, as if there is a faint light of water in her eyes, red lips and nose, and a slender waist, which makes people feel pity.
The woman curled her lips into a faint smile, revealing a charm from within.
This skin looks good.
It is indeed dangerous for a single woman to be on the road. Ning Yu thought about it and went to the clinic to buy some medicine, one of which is Danhuang. It can make the skin dull when crushed and applied, and can be washed off with water.
At this time, the system reminded, "Host, someone is following you, but it seems they have no ill intentions towards you."
Ning Yu already knew it.
When they reached a small alley, a hand suddenly pulled her in.
Ning Yu looked at the man in front of her warily. He was dressed in black, his face was slightly dark, and his eyes were calm. "Miss Ning, I wonder if you still remember that time in Chunshen Tower..."
Wei Cheng had no intention of explaining the Marquis's identity.
If it weren't for that accident, this woman would never have had any contact with the Marquis.
Ning Yu then realized that it was the subordinate of the man who had prepared the antidote for her who had come to her house.
Wei Cheng pulled out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and whispered, "Miss Ning, this is one thousand taels of silver from my master."
Ning Yu's eyes lit up, and he took it without hesitation. "Thank you, your master."
She is short of money.
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment. The woman didn't seem sad at all.
That's all.
Just complete the task assigned by the Marquis.
After Wei Cheng left, Ning Yu followed him out of the alley.
After returning to the Ning family, Ning Yu sewed the silver bills into various underwear, leaving only one hundred taels of silver bills close to her body, and put the small change and copper coins in her purse for daily expenses.
