Chapter 32 Love rival becomes a girlfriend
Ye Juelu stayed in the palace for two days, but the emperor drove him back to the mansion and asked to bring Ming Lanying to see him in three days. "I am considerate enough to you. You are dragging me to not let me see you. I will issue an order tomorrow to let Song Shanshan carry her into your mansion in advance!"
Ye Juelu had no choice but to sneak back home while the night was in the dark and was caught by He Bai who came out to find food at night on the roof.
"Brother? Why do you have to go to the roof of your house when you go home in the evening?"
Ye Juelu frowned and asked, "What are you doing on the roof if you don't sleep at night?"
Ye Juelu frowned and He Bai hugged his head with a conditioned reflex and said aggrievedly: "I'm not selling misery to you and your sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law won't let me have dinner tonight..."
Ye Juelu clenched his fists, feeling helpless and headache for Ming Lanying, but he couldn't bear to be angry with her.
Fan Yue explained to him that this time was just a misunderstanding, but after the explanation, he became even more angry. If Ning'er hadn't begged for this time, then next time, she might make a belt for another man without any intention. She was so good that no one would reject her.
"Have your sister-in-law been asleep?"
"I'm asleep, but she didn't live in the room you arranged for her. She chose a spacious yard on the other side..."
Before He Bai could finish his words, Ye Juelu raised his anger and flew to the yard on the other side of the mansion. He Bai was about to shout a reminder, but it was late at night and it was not easy to disturb people's dreams. After much trouble, he still let him go and murmured to the kitchen to find food.
"I also want to remind him to be careful, why are you doing so urgently..."
It was late at night, and Ye Juelu's breathing and movement seemed to be a little louder. There was a slight sound on the roof, and then there was a slight sound of friction at the door. The wolf cub beside Ming Lanying's bed immediately raised his head and looked out the door with dark blue eyes alertly.
With a creaking sound, the carved wooden door gently pushed open. Ye Juelu was surprised that the door did not latch it. Before he stepped in, his years of reaction made him immediately withdraw his foot and dodge it.
The cold moonlight squeezed into a beam of light and shone into the house. A snow-white figure bent her body, staring at him fiercely in an attacking posture, like a silent hunter.
Ye Juelu was stunned. When he saw its sharp teeth, he realized that it was Xuelang. He was surprised why Xuelang appeared in his mansion. He subconsciously worried about Ming Lanying's safety, so he pulled out the short sword on his waist and wanted to fight Xuelang to death.
"Baby, come back."
Ming Lanying's lazy voice suddenly came out, Ye Juelu's sword swinging action paused, Xuelang looked at Ye Juelu alertly, turned around and ran into the room, and Ye Juelu silently retracted the sword.
I was really interested in killing this wolf just now and almost cut off the snow wolf, forgetting Ming Lanying's special ability.
He walked into the house and closed the door. The moonlight could not be shined into the inner room. As soon as the door was closed, it was pitch black, and there were only two faint blue lights beside the bed, staring at him.
Ye Juelu lit two lamps, and then he could see the scene inside the house clearly. Ming Lanying was wearing a thin bedcloth, leaning half on the soft pillow, her collar was slightly open, revealing her slender and fragile neck and collarbone. Her long hair was scattered behind her, and a few strands of hair slid down against her shoulders, her beautiful eyes were half closed, and her slender hands were lazily touching the wolf beside the bed.
The beauty yawned, her eyes covered with a layer of water vapor, and the waves were shimmering, making people itchy. She raised her seductive eye feathers and glanced at Ye Juelu gently. Her voice was soft and soft, which could sniff half of her body. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Ye Juelu's breathing was a little rapid by this glance, and he felt a little restless, "I... come and see you."
"Look at me?" Ming Lanying smiled softly, "What's the best thing I have?"
"You look very nice."
Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "Aren't you so busy that you stayed in the palace? Isn't you busy anymore?"
Ye Juelu cleared his throat with guilt, "I'm done, aren't you going to explain anything to me?"
"What is the explanation? Ning'er is old and sleeps in the next room. This is a cub, a little male wolf. I picked it up on the side after you left. Fan Yue should have told you that I have nothing to explain."
Ye Juelu put one hand on his belt. When he picked them up at the city gate, he didn't see the wolf. He should have been hidden in the carriage, but he doesn't care about the wolf now.
He tweaked the silver waist chain with some grievance, "I thought you accepted me..."
"Ning'er begged me for what I want, but I can't do it, it's meaningless." Ming Lanying said a few words, and woke up most of her spirits. She rubbed Xuelang's head. Xuelang snored comfortably, "I have seriously considered your words. You are the one who does great things for the emperor, and we are not suitable."
The silver chain made a dull sound, and Ye Juelu's eyes darkened, "If you have to go through it, you will know that I am indeed doing things for the emperor, but one code is one code, and I will look down on anyone except you. Give me a chance, and it is also for Ning'er."
Ye Juelu silently apologized to his son in his heart. For the happiness of their family, he could only temporarily use his son to hold her back.
Ming Lanying is very clear about her plan. Making money to raise her son is the first priority; then buying a house and opening a shop, and making money with money is the second priority; finally, traveling around the world to see the customs and customs of this world. When you are tired, choose a favorite place to live your life.
There is no love in the future she plans.
"For Ning'er, I will give him more love, but I can't let you waste your feelings, you will be better."
"I just want you, you are the best." Ye Juelu glanced at her deeply, "It's enough to give me a chance to pursue you. I will try my best to make you fall in love with me, and I will always wait for you."
Ming Lanying looked at him quietly, and there was no emotion in Gu Panshenghui's eyes. Ye Juelu got up and blew out the lamp, "You go to bed earlier, I'll go next door to accompany Ning'er."
The door was gently closed, and Ming Lanying slowly lay down in the darkness, and with one hand hanging outside the bed, pinching the wolf cub's ears, which gently bit her.
"Baby, what do you think of him?"
In all aspects, Ye Juelu is a good object. Now he has restored his official position, has money and power, has a good figure, has high brides and strong martial arts skills, and is a popular choice for everyone. It is difficult for such a man to not be moved by his affectionate confession.
But love is not within her plan, and she has lived for two lifetimes and has never taken love seriously. After all, a wise man is not in love, and men will only affect her speed of making money...
But she was a handsome dog. She didn't want to admit that she had been bewitched by Ye Juelu's face, figure, and deep affection. Her heart was shaken. Oh, so annoying!
The wolf cub sneezes and shakes his head, "Not good."
Ming Lanying paused the wolf and said that the wolf was one of the fast-mature creatures. The wolf cub was wise in less than a year, which surprised her.
"Baby, you can speak, as smart as your mother."
"Aowu..."
I was too lazy to think about it after being entangled in the middle of the night. I was as happy as I was, and I fell asleep in a daze. The next day, I was woken up by the wolf cub licking his hands.
While licking her, the wolf cub said, "Wake up quickly, someone is looking for you to play with."
Ming Lanying blindly guessed that Tang Ning came to find her, so she raised her hand and ravaged the wolf cub hard, "Wake up, wake up, stop licking, it's sticky."
It was bright outside, and Ming Lanying squinted her eyes and stood up. Ning'er laughed happily outside the door, "Dad is pushing her higher!"
After Ming Lanying finished washing up, she saw a swing suddenly appear in the yard overnight. Ye Juelu pushed Ning'er to swing.
The wolf cub followed her and stretched his waist in the open space.
"Mom! Come on, Daddy is back!"
The wolf cub bit her skirt and dragged it outward. Ming Lanying smiled and waved to Ning'er, "I have fun with my dad today. Someone is looking for my mom. I have something to do."
"Okay! Mom is back soon!"
Ye Juelu looked at her leaving back, and refused to ask, pushing the swing gradually became absent-minded. Ning'er looked up at him in confusion, "Dad, are you worried about your mother?"
Ye Juelu nodded, pushing the swing in his hand in an inertia, "Ning'er, do you know who is looking for your mother?"
Ning'er tilted her head, "It should be Sister Tang Ning, have you forgotten Daddy?"
Ye Juelu suddenly realized and let go of his suspended heart. That day at the city gate, Tang Ning made an appointment with Ming Lanying with time to go out to play before leaving. "It was my father who forgot, but now I remember it."
Ning'er suddenly said to Ye Juelu: "Dad, Doctor Zhao secretly asked Ning'er to tell you that mother is the kind of person who is most susceptible to softening."
Ye Juelu was silent, looking at his son with a scrutiny for the first time, "Ning'er, where have you memorized the Three Character Classic?"
Ning'er smiled proudly, "The Plenary Session of the Three Character Classics has been memorized! There are also thousands of characters, hundreds of families, four-character and six-character miscellaneous characters, Zengguang Xianwen, Qionglin, Filial Piety, and Chinese History Books! Now I am studying the Four Books, it is a bit difficult to remember, my mother said to take it slowly."
Ye Juelu remained silent. He knew that his son was smart and clever. Not speaking before did not mean that he could not learn or think. His learning ability improved by leaps and bounds after speaking. Unexpectedly, he understood more than children of the same age and became more mature in his mind.
In addition to the little selfishness of Doctor Zhao, he would sometimes teach him how to distinguish some of his thoughts, which led to him being able to keenly guess some emotional conflicts between him and Ming Lanying.
"Ning'er, don't expose her in front of your mother in the future, your mother will be unhappy."
I also want to beat people up in embarrassment. Sometimes adults are very irresponsible.
"Yeah! Ning'er knows!"
The wolf cub dragged her all the way to the lobby of the front hall. Ming Lanying saw a familiar tall figure through the blackout bamboo curtain, and her eyes lit up.
"A Ning!"
When Tang Ning heard the sound, she couldn't help but smile when she saw Ming Lanying with joy on her face, "Lanying, you don't even have a servant in your mansion. Fortunately, the wolf cub smelled me, otherwise I wouldn't know how to see you."
She didn't know whether Ye Juelu was at home, so she didn't dare to go to the backyard to find her. Even if she was trying hard to let go of her former feelings, she had to avoid suspicion and avoid it carefully.
The wolf cub took the credit and rubbed Ming Lanying, and got a reward for his head. "He Bai didn't know where he went. There were only a few servants who were sweeping. I arranged for me to work in two hours in the morning. It would be inconvenient to have a wolf cub here, but it would be more convenient to have a servant."
"I know what you think. You don't want to stay in the capital for too long. If you want so many servants, it will only add to the trouble." Tang Ning took out a piece of jerky meat from the bag on his waist and fed it to the wolf cub. "Let's go, today I'll take you to see the most beautiful scenery in the capital."
Ming Lanying glanced at her neat horse outfit, then looked at her light skirt, "Wait for me to change into a more convenient dress."
Tang Ning smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'll bring the carriage today. I'll drive the carriage for you, let's go."
"That's fine, then I'll bother you!"
Ming Lanying patted the wolf cub and asked it to go back to accompany Ning'er, and went to play with Tang Ning.
Tang Ning grew up in the capital city since childhood. Even though he has been doing business abroad for many years, he is still very familiar with the capital city that has not changed for a hundred years. The Tang family is also a scholarly family. The eldest daughter is now the emperor's concubine, and the whole family is full of honor. However, the second daughter goes to business. The support of the Tang family does not mean that no one in the circle is talking behind his back.
After all, scholars, farmers, industry and businessmen have been studying hard for decades to achieve a career that is superior to others. The status of merchants has always been low. Even if they don’t despise merchants so much now, they are still a little self-righteous. The pretentious nobles will maintain contempt and disdain for merchants.
This is also one of the reasons why Ming Lanying doesn't want to stay in the capital. There are many rules in the capital, many conservative and pedantic families. She is Ye Juelu's nominal wife and the wife of the third-rank commander, but she is also considered half a businessman with a stinking smell of money.
There is no need to squeeze in if you can't integrate into the circle. At that time, maybe it's just a waste of money.
The carriage kicked and stomped from the capital to the suburbs, went up from the flat mountain road, and arrived at a Hanshan Temple on the top of the mountain. It didn't stop, and went directly around the temple and went up the back mountain.
The incense of Hanshan Temple is good, and there are not many people coming and going on the mountain. The scenery along the way is fresh and pleasing to the eye. Ming Lanying lay beside the window and said to Tang Ning in surprise: "You won't take me to the deserted mountains and then kill people and throw them away, right?"
Tang Ning slapped the horse's buttocks in a funny way, "Why am I willing to kill you? Such a beautiful girl must be sold for a good price."
Ming Lanying laughed and pushed her, "Talk me, you are very beautiful too. At that time, I would think I'll make a profit by buying one free one!"
