MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 8

  Chapter 8

  Wen Ning didn't stop moving her hands, but her heart froze.

Fortunately, when Wen Lan saw her lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes, she thought she was embarrassed towards the outsider, and replied instead: "Sister She has been raised in her boudoir since she was a child, and rarely goes out. It's just that she's not in a good mood recently. Mu, take her out for a walk."

   That's an excellent answer.

  Wen Ning was very satisfied, and she loosened her hand holding the chopsticks.

  Wang You nodded clearly and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing him, Wen Lan took the initiative to ask about Wen Ning, so she also asked about his personal affairs: "Shuzhi is young, and he achieved impressive results in the first year of the scientific examination. The relatives at home must be very happy, right?"

   "Father and mother have placed high hopes on Shu, and their achievements so far cannot be exaggerated."

  There are only father and mother, so they are not yet married.

Wen Lan continued: "I heard that Shuzhi was not originally from the capital city. Whether he is proud or not will be revealed when Chunwei releases the list. However, recently, it is very popular to catch a son-in-law under the folk list. Shuzhi is a good-looking talent... Be careful! "

  Wang You raised his glass: "I was reminded by Lao Wen to join the army. But I already have a marriage contract, and I am not afraid of such stalking behavior."

  Wen Lan and Wen Ning were both taken aback.

  Wen Lan: The good cabbage has been raped by pigs?

  Wen Ning: When did Pei You have a marriage contract?

  But neither of them showed it. Wen Lan drank with regret, while Wen Ning relaxed a little. Could it be that Pei You in this life is different from the previous life? After all, in the last life, I never heard that he had any engagement.

  Wang You said self-consciously: "It's a pity that I separated from my fiancée when I was young, and I haven't heard from her since then. Her baby name is Xiaoya, I wonder if you two have heard of it?"

  Wen Ningben had a fish ball in her mouth, and when she heard the name "Xiaoya", her heart skipped a beat, she raised her eyes subconsciously, and saw Wang You was also looking at her.

  The black eyes are deep, shining with a tiny light.

   This was the first time that the two of them looked at each other at the same table.

  Wen Ning's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she swallowed the ball without chewing it.

  She clutched her palm tightly, tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, and smiled: "Xiaoya? What a unique name."

  Wang You listened to her answer, lowered his eyes, covering the light that was shining in the bottom of the eyes.

   "It's indeed unique, but women's baby names are usually not known to outsiders." Wen Lan took over the words, "Forgive me, if you are looking for someone, report the case to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow, and I will do my best to help."

  Wang You laughed and shook his head: "I think she and her family have moved out of the capital. It won't be too late to find her after I make something in the future."

  After saying this, Wen Lan understood a little bit.

  It must be that the other party dislikes Wang You's poor family, just like Shen's family towards Wen's...

  Wen Lang even felt sympathy for Wang You, so he stopped asking about this matter and talked about other things.

   Wang You's eyes finally stopped wandering from time to time, and he only glanced at Wen Ning again when he said goodbye at the end.

  Wen Ning didn't know if she was too sensitive, or Pei You, who was still Wang You, had become suspicious of her.

   On the carriage back home, she was restless.

  It was really unexpected to meet Pei You at this time.

  Was her reaction just now too extreme? Did she show any flaws? When Pei You mentioned "Xiaoya", why did he look at her? Why is she looking up? She should pretend she didn't hear anything!

  What does it mean that he took a second look at himself before leaving? Will he discover something?

"Miss, do you feel uncomfortable?" Linglan looked worriedly at Wen Ning, who was pale after taking off her makeup. After returning from Ci'en Temple, she had been in a trance, and she didn't even have dinner, "Why don't I call Did the doctor come to take a look last time?"

   "No need." Wen Ning shook her head and lay down on the bed, "I'm just a little tired, Linglan, please rest first, I'll be fine after a night of sleep."

  Linglan knew that Wen Ning had met Shen Jin today, and Wen Lan specifically told her. Seeing Wen Ning like this, she must have had an unpleasant conversation with Shen Jin, and she immediately regretted it, knowing that she would not have given them a chance to meet alone.

  Wanting to persuade her a few more words, seeing that Wen Ning had closed her eyes, she chopped her feet angrily before retreating.

  Wen Ning did indeed fall asleep, and fell asleep quickly, but dreamed again.

   It was the same dream as last time.

  She and Linglan planned for half a year, spent half of their wealth, and asked quack warlocks to disguise themselves for them.

  She wanted to escape outside the pass. As long as she leaves Yanmen Pass, she will not be under Pei You's jurisdiction. As long as she hides her name, he will definitely not be able to find her.

  But they had just passed the gate, and before they had time to be happy, they were stopped by Pei You.

  This dream is longer than last time. So she experienced the follow-up again in the dream.

  Pei You was not as furious as before, but asked her coldly: "Do you want to go outside the customs so much?"

   "Then let Linglan go for you."

   On the second day, he said that he had found a family for Linglan outside the customs and asked her to marry him.

  Wen Ning was frightened, cried and begged him, and kissed him proactively. He pressed her under him, and he didn't let her go until she cried hoarsely and said that she would never leave him again.

In the last picture, she was lying on the bed in a mess, her eyes were red, and her lips were swollen. Pei You was lying beside her, with one hand supporting her head and the other pinching her chin, forcing her to look at him: "Ah Ning, not to mention the inferior disguise technique, even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you."

  In the middle of the night, Wen Ning sat up from the bed suddenly in shock.

  The quilt slipped off, and the cold sweat all over her body made her shiver suddenly.

   Even if it turns into ashes, I can still recognize you.

  Wen Ning recalled the glances he frequently glanced at during dinner today, the "Xiaoya" he deliberately mentioned, and the look in her eyes when he mentioned "Xiaoya"...

  How capable Pei You is, she didn't understand it in her previous life, will she still not understand it in this life?

  Even though she is quite different from her nine-year-old appearance, she is the same person after all, and there are always traces between her eyebrows and eyes.

   And once he becomes suspicious...

   It won't work, and the previous plan may not work.

  She doesn't admit that she is Xiaoya, doesn't he know how to check? Even though he is still a commoner now, within half a month, he will be the number one scholar in high school, and then be recognized by the Duke's Mansion. It will not be difficult for him to investigate her by then. It was impossible to find out if she was Xiaoya, and it was also found out that she frequently pretended to leave the house when she was nine years old.

  Wen Ning panted heavily, and stayed on the bed quietly until she calmed down.

  She didn't call Linglan, but poured herself a cup of hot tea.

  She thinks things too simply, just like she thought Pei You's obsession with her too simply.

  She had to find another way.
