"Azhen is just back now. Is it because the stars at night... are they particularly beautiful?" Shangguan Jinnian tentatively said in a slight manner.
Hua Fan's heart tightened and cold sweat broke out. Did he know that his going out was related to the astronomical phenomena? How much did he know?
What to do? Should we be frank and lenient, or to resist to the end?
Hua Fan hesitated for a while, but then turned around for the time being, facing Shangguan Jinnian.
When Shangguan Jinnian saw her turn, he simply leaned against the window and poked most of his body out of the window.
"Don't you eat?" Shangguan Jinnian simply poked out half of his body from the back window. While asking her maliciously, he curiously studied the uniqueness of this window for affair.
"No...no need." Hua Feng stood there and didn't even dare to turn his neck back.
"Azhen, what are you doing when you turn around? Do you want to leave?" Shangguan Jinnian continued to tease as if nothing had happened, but there was a little more majesty in his voice.
Huabian's mind turned 180 circles in an instant, but he still couldn't think of an excuse to explain that he ran over the window in the middle of the night and ran away before he ran back after dawn.
But if you don’t explain anything, wouldn’t it be guilty?
She felt that now she was clearly a concubine of a rich man who was caught and was in trouble, waiting for the money owner to reward him with a board and drove him out of the door.
"Azhen went out in the middle of the night and came back at this time. Could it be that she had seen the stars all night?" Hua Fan felt that if she had eaten a handful of melon seeds in her hand, she would definitely feel very picture-like. Most of the three aunts and six wives in the play who leaned against the window and pulled the east and extended the gaps in the west, were full of this image.
"The stars last night... were really good." Hua Chang held it in for a long time and then said something.
"And Ah Zhen just asked me that this celestial phenomenon that has not been seen in a century was met by Ah Zhen. Do you think this is a coincidence?" Shangguan Jinnian teased, smiling with a gun and a stick.
He was disappointed. Yesterday, she asked him so seriously and listened to his random stories as before. This was the first time since she came back. He thought that she had finally begun to change her mind, at least she no longer rejected him.
He thought that whether it was tied up with bundles or threats and temptations, at least she was back and began to turn back to the past little by little. He also luckily felt that although his methods were not very open and honest, he at least got a decent result.
It was not until last night when he walked out and saw the strange celestial phenomena in the sky that he suddenly realized that this was not the case.
Hua Feng could clearly feel his disappointment. She always regarded Shangguan Jinnian as a big bad wolf, but for some reason this time, his disappointment made him feel a little sad.
She didn't want to disappoint him too much, so she had to deceive.
Her scams have never been particularly clever, so she has to take one step at a time.
"Yes, yesterday's celestial phenomena were really unacceptable for a hundred years, so I went to the river to see the stars." She tried to explain.
"Well... I don't know that Azhen was so obsessed with the celestial phenomena that she could watch all night. Since Azhen went to the river to see the stars, why didn't she tell me? What was the purpose of jumping into the window after leaving the door?" As expected, he blocked the flower tumbling and speechless.
"Aren't I... afraid of disturbing you?" Hua Fan said, and as soon as she said that she was very confident. As Shangguan Jinnian's biggest trouble, she dared to say that she was afraid of disturbing him. Really, tsk tsk.
"Oh, so that's it. Then what is this?" Shangguan Jinnian's tone was no longer gentle, and it sounded very cold.
He took out a note, and Hua Feng was shocked!
That was nothing else, it was the night before yesterday when Yanhong Tears used black feathered pigeons to her with a war report of strange astronomical phenomena.
At that time, Hua Fan did not destroy it for the time being in order to study the handwriting of the black-feathered pigeon owner and hid it quietly. Unexpectedly, it was found by Shangguan Jinnian.
"You...why are you..." She was a little incoherent. Although she deceived herself first, it was obvious that Shangguan Jinnian had raided her room without her permission.
"Hmph, I didn't move anything else in this room." Shangguan Jinnian interrupted her in time, "Can you change the problem of hiding things under the bed?" He narrowed his starry eyes slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed through his eyes.
The flower was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Where did this thing come from?" Shangguan Jinnian refused to give in, shaking the thin note in his hand, like a creditor, shaking his black-and-white IOU.
"This is definitely not your handwriting. The paper is made so small. Judging from the folding method and the traces of the thread tied on the paper, it seems like someone tied it to the feet of a carrier pigeon to you." He added, the needle was pointed and said very accurately.
Hua Feng was so nervous that her heart seemed to be sweating. She was now a snake that had been caught for seven inches. He had obtained all the evidence. If she continued to remain silent, it would only be even more unfavorable. Because his guess might be much more serious than what she really did.
Sure enough, Shangguan Jinnian's suspicion did not disappoint her expectations.
"Since Azhen said he had gone to the river to see the stars, it seems that someone had specially sent a letter to invite you to go with him? Seeing the handwriting was beautiful but not without strength, he looked like a gentle man."
Hua Chunqiu gasped, and it turned out that he really thought of her as a concubine who had affair with a window in the middle of the night.
"No, I don't know who sent this letter. I did catch a pigeon yesterday, the one I caught on the building that night, with this note tied to his feet. I was curious, so I copied it down and asked you. Later, I saw that this kind of celestial phenomenon seemed to be in the sky. I ran to the riverside to see it in an impulse..."
She became a doctor after a long illness, and if she cheated too much, she would be a liar. Hua Feng made too many lies with Shangguan Jinnian, so she admired her logical ability under the rush to jump into the wall, and even made up the cause and effect.
"I was sleepy as I looked at it. I slept in the grass by the river and it was dawn." She said. She felt relieved in her heart, and the cold sweat dissipated, feeling cool.
Her words can indeed be explained, and there is no big omission. Although Shangguan Jinnian was suspicious, he could not find any more evidence for the moment.
Hua Fan felt that she had said this matter was full, but the disappointment in his eyes did not diminish at all. He still looked at her with that kind of gaze, as if he was looking for something, but she couldn't give him anything.
She also felt a little sad. She couldn't give him anything except for lies. She couldn't afford to even the most basic trust.
