After walking around the yard several times, the fullness in her belly gradually subsided. When Yuxiu saw her masters returning to their rooms, she immediately came over to ask for instructions: "Madam, do you want to prepare water for bathing now?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded.
Yuxiu sent the little maid down to call for water. After a while, the women on night duty came up with hot water. Yuxiu personally prepared the toiletries and arranged them according to Madam's preference. Then she went to the inner room to remind: "Madam,
It’s time to take a shower.”
She stood in front of Concubine Xiang's bamboo curtain and replied. She could faintly see Madam sitting in front of the dressing gown, washing off her makeup. She seemed to have just washed her face and was untying her hairpin.
The dim candlelight swayed with the wind, reflecting the calm and beautiful face of the beauty in the mirror. She raised her slender hands gently, and the priceless hairpin rings were taken off one by one. First, it was Hua Sheng in the center of the temples, and then Jin Bu Yao.
, followed by Zhuhua...
Slowly, the beads and rings collide, like an elegant and quiet piece of music.
Many important things happened today, but it only happened in one day. She went out to attend the award ceremony in the morning, which was a big occasion. Before going out, Qiu Wu put a lot of effort into dressing her up and used a lot of hairpin rings for decoration. In the evening
Disassembly requires a lot of effort.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhenzhen likes to remove her makeup by herself, but occasionally when she is unable to do it, she is pulling out the pearl flowers, and her scalp suddenly hurts. When she looked carefully, it turned out that her hair was entangled with something inlaid with gold foil.
beads.
It happened that Yuxiu was also there at this moment, and just as Ye Zhenzhen was about to ask her to come in to help, a hand stretched out from the side and covered her hand: "I'll do it."
Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at the man in the mirror.
Her slender body was slightly tilted, and a pair of beautiful bamboo-like jade hands played with her tangled hair. Only half of his face was reflected in the mirror, but you could still see the gentleness and care under his sword-browed eyes.
Ye Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat.
"alright."
Cui Weizhen put the pearl flowers into the dowry and took off the rest of the decorations one by one, leaving only a hairpin to fix her temples.
Suddenly, he frowned: "I remember it was a pair of pearl flowers, why is one missing?"
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head and took a look, and sure enough she found that there was an empty spot in the dowry. She hesitated and said, "Maybe it fell over while riding a horse during the day."
This is something that often happens. In the past, when we were in the capital, people would often go rummaging around in the grass after their noble ladies went on horseback rides. Many people made a sudden fortune because of this.
People come and go on the streets during the day, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find this bead if it falls away.
Cui Weizhen didn't ask any more questions, but said, "I'll let someone give you one later."
Although there were too many beads and flowers in the dowry to be used up, Cui Weizhen was particularly persistent in this matter. Ye Zhenzhen smartly did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
This time her palm was injured and she would definitely not be able to take off the bracelet on her right wrist - this was the jade bracelet that Aunt Cui had given her when they first got married.
In the end, she had to take off the diamond ring from her ring finger.
As a result, Cui Weizhen put the diamond ring on her again: "Let's keep wearing the ring."
The two of them clasped their palms together, and the diamond rings on their ring fingers touched lightly. The uncut and polished gemstones shone with dazzling light, even brighter than the stars.
Stingy! I just untied it and didn't give it to you for a while!
Ye Zhenzhen complained silently, but still put the ring on obediently: "You rest first, I'm going to take a shower."
Cui Weizhen's eyes fell on her hands: "Don't touch your hands with water."
"Remember, just let the maid serve you."
Cui Weizhen glanced at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He turned around and went to the bed, picked up a book and started reading.
When Ye Zhenzhen walked out, she was still thinking, what Wei Zhen meant just now, was he trying to help her personally?
Ahem, although it’s not something I’ve never done before, it’s still embarrassing.
When Ye Zhenzhen came back bathed in steam, it was already half an hour later. Cui Weizhen was still asleep. As soon as he saw her, he put down the book in his hand, picked up her hand and looked at it, and then relaxed it when he found that it was not wet by steam.
tone.
"Remember to change the dressing tomorrow."
Cui Weizhen asked worriedly. Although he was busy in the front office during the day, he did not forget to send Mo Yan to find Mr. Ning to inquire about the injuries of his wife and children, so he still knew something about it. At this moment, he asked: "Is the knee OK?"
Not hurt?"
"No."
In order to reassure him, Ye Zhenzhen even rolled up her trouser legs for him to see. After Cui Weizhen finished reading, he pulled them down for her: "You sleep outside today, lest I accidentally press your hand at night."
Ye Zhenzhen agreed.
Cui Weizhen extinguished the candle, leaving only a weak candlelight for illumination before returning to the bed, lifting the quilt and lying down next to Ye Zhenzhen.
Not long after I closed my eyes, I heard the sound of turning over, followed by Zhen'er's thin breathing: "Weizhen, are you asleep?"
Cui Weizhen opened his eyes and looked at her. His fair face seemed to be glowing in the dim bed curtain. His almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, and he was obviously not sleepy at all.
"What's the matter?"
"Has the person behind the kidnapping been interrogated?" she asked in a low voice.
Cui Weizhen laughed: "Have you been holding back these words for a long time? I thought you didn't intend to ask about this matter."
How could she not ask? Ye Zhenzhen wanted to eat the flesh of the criminal who hurt her child. She wanted to ask Wei Zhen as early as the moment she saw him, but was dissuaded by the tiredness in his brows.
If he hasn't been interrogated yet, won't her questioning put more pressure on him?
So she quickly added: "Of course, it doesn't matter if he hasn't been found out yet. Let's investigate slowly. The thief will be exposed one day."
"We already have some clues. Zhen'er might as well guess who it is?"
Cui Weizhen enjoyed this guessing game endlessly. Even if Ye Zhenzhen was impatient, she had to cooperate with him: "Did someone from the capital take action?"
"Not really." Cui Weizhen shook his head.
Ye Zhenzhen was surprised. After all, every time something bad happened to the Cui family, it was always related to those people in the capital. She didn't expect that it was not the case this time.
She frowned and thought for a moment: "If you're not from the capital, you're from Mingzhou Prefecture. We're new here, so we don't offend many people. The Zhao family is an example... Could it be the Zhao family?"
Cui Weizhen was not surprised by Zhen'er's keenness. This time he did not show off and nodded: "It is indeed the Zhao family."
Because of the incident at the Cultural Square, Cui Weizhen punished the Zhao family. The Zhao family was so traumatized that they held a grudge and colluded with the local gangsters to seek revenge.
The two parties had just established a relationship not long ago. According to the information from the interrogation, those people originally planned to attack Jie Duan and the others on their way to school. Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter them on their way to Daxingfang, so they decided to take advantage of the chaos to rob them.
This can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes. If the other party had planned carefully, he would probably suffer more misfortune when the time comes.
