Shangguan Wan Ning paused and handed the hairpin to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao happily took it and immediately went to the mirror to put the hairpin in her hair.
Suddenly, my wrist tightened.
She looked at Shangguan Wan Ning in surprise. "Sister?"
Shangguan Wan Ning raised the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, took the hairpin back from Shangguan Xiaoxiao's hand, and said meaningfully: "My sister just said she wanted to have a look, why did she put it on her head?"
"I...I..." Shangguan Xiaoxiao felt that Shangguan Wanning seemed a little different today, but she couldn't tell. There seemed to be a bit more fierceness in her eyes. "I'm sorry, sister, I just feel..."
"Sister, it's not that I'm a stingy sister who refuses to give it to you. It's just that this hairpin is a gift from the wife of the Minister of Etiquette, and it indicates that it is to be given to the lady who is the direct descendant of the prime minister's house. So..."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao lowered his eyelids and secretly pinched his palms.
What does Shangguan Wan Ning mean by this? Does she say she is unworthy?
She tried her best to suppress the jealousy and anger in her heart, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were filled with tears.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't touch my sister's things casually. Don't be angry, sister."
"It's good to know that you are wrong. From now on, you must be cautious, otherwise, outsiders will see it and think that we in the Prime Minister's Office are all so unruly."
Shangguan Wan Ning's expression darkened, and a layer of frost covered her face.
"Yes." Shangguan Xiaoxiao stood up, saluted, and silently walked out.
Watching her figure go away, Shangguan Wan Ning showed a sneer.
A few days later, the housekeeper brought Mu Jingrui to see Shangguan Wan Ning.
He followed the butler, his indifferent eyes calm and calm, like a pool of thousand-year-old ice water.
This reminded Shangguan Wan Ning of the three years she stayed with him in her previous life.
It is unclear whether she enjoyed glory and wealth or experienced inhumane torture.
He... seems to be her nightmare, but also seems to be her guardian.
"From today on, you don't have to go back to the servant's room in the backyard. You can stay in my yard as a guard."
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't know what kind of bullying he suffered when he was a slave in Shangguan's family in his previous life, so much so that he hated their whole family to the core.
Mu Jingrui lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, expressionless.
"good."
In the evening, Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to please Shangguan Wanning with cakes, and like a docile kitten, she took Shangguan Wanning's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Sister, I heard that there is a temple fair in the west of the city tonight, which is very lively. Let's go out for a walk together."
Shangguan Wan Ning was a little disgusted by Shangguan Xiaoxiao's affection, but she also wanted to go to the temple fair to pray for her parents, so she immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare a carriage.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was very excited along the way. From time to time, she opened the curtain and looked outside.
The carriage bumped a few times through a narrow alley, and Shangguan Wan Ning felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
"ah!"
Remembering several shrill screams, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she hid behind Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wan Ning pushed her away and was about to jump out of the carriage when she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her neck.
Her vision was blurred, her legs were weak, and her consciousness became trance-like.
Why does this happen? In the previous life, it obviously didn't happen.
"Look, the eldest daughter from the Prime Minister's Palace is different. This one with thin skin and tender flesh... is much better than the women in that brothel."
Shangguan Wan Ning felt fingers gently scratching her face.
The only consciousness she had left made her want to resist, but she had no strength at all. Her body began to feel hot, and her whole body was unbearably hot.
She couldn't help but hum slightly.
"Hey, take your paws away." Another voice warned, "You don't even know who you are. She is a swan, and you are not even qualified to be a toad. Let's go, the master will be here soon.
.”
master?
Who are they?
Shangguan Wanning's brain can think, but she can't speak.
Why did she experience something that didn't happen in her previous life? Could it be that the trajectory of this life has changed because of her rebirth?
Shangguan Wan Ning felt more and more uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but start tearing her clothes off.
"Wake up... wake up..."
Shangguan Wan Ning felt someone patting her cheek. The voice was very familiar.
"Jing Rui..."
Mu Jingrui was stunned.
Ever since he took the token to Shangguan's house to propose marriage, Shangguan Wan Ning had never looked at him seriously. Now, she actually called out his name so naturally.
"Jing Rui, don't do this...Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wan Ning felt Mu Jingrui's familiar aura, and the warmth from the past emerged in her mind one by one.
She couldn't help but hold on to Mu Jingrui's lapel and shrink into his arms.
Mu Jingrui noticed the difference in Shangguan Wan Ning's physical condition and hurriedly picked her up and left the inn.
"Jing Rui...please, stop torturing me..."
Shangguan Wan Ning's hands climbed up to Mu Jingrui's neck, and her pink lips pressed against it, sucking and biting.
Suddenly, Mu Jingrui took a breath of air.
Who is torturing whom among them?
Shangguan Wan Ning still didn't give up and pulled off the clothes on Mu Jingrui's chest.
Mu Jingrui lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, his cheeks were red and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Shangguan Wan Ning, please wake up."
Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning to the lakeside. Looking at the sparkling lake under the moonlight, he jumped in.
The lake water instantly submerged the two of them.
Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't swim, and the sudden coldness and suffocation made her overwhelmed. She could only flutter around and grab everything she could.
Mu Jingrui estimated the time and pulled Shangguan Wan Ning out.
Shangguan Wan Ning was shivering from the cold, and when she woke up, she glared at Mu Jingrui.
"What are you going to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Mu Jingrui grabbed Shangguan Wan Ning's hand and put it on his neck.
Shangguan Wan Ning saw a red mark.
With the memory of her previous life, she knew what it was.
He was the one who stayed with her before, but now...
"I...I didn't mean it. I don't know why it happened." Shangguan Wan Ning felt ashamed and wished she could get back into the water.
Of course Mu Jingrui knew.
The cold lake water not only made Shangguan Wan Ning wake up, but also helped him gradually calm down.
He looked around and frowned slightly.
"Can you go up?"
Shangguan Wanning nodded.
He swam back to the shore with her.
At this time, a dark cloud passed by and blocked the moonlight.
"Thank you." Shangguan Wan Ning whispered.
"Since you asked me to be your bodyguard, I will naturally protect your safety. But tonight's matter... I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Shangguan Wan calmed down and calmed down his thoughts.
She recalled every detail of the incident.
The person guarding her said that the master would be here soon.
