a still echoed: "Ouyang Xuan, why are you always so domineering! Don't you care about my feelings!"A low, magnetic voice, pregnant with meaning, reverberated in her ear: "Because you are my woman!"Lu...Then he spoke, "We just need to release this. When the time comes, we'll cooperate inside and out, and we won't have to worry about things in the future. The madam will take care of everything."

"Master Ning, Master Ning, please stay inside! As for us, how can we explain this to Young Master Jiang!"

After a long and tiring journey by boat and carriage, Ning Shu spent some money on travel expenses and finally reached Yangzhou.

After a long and tiring journey, Ning Shu spent some money on travel expenses and finally reached Yangzhou.

Ning Shu hadn't expected it either, the madam had used a diversion to take me out of the village. When I came out, I saw smoke billowing and heard the panicked shouts of servants rushing about, frantically trying to put out the fire.

As night fell, Jiang Peilin arrived.

But this time, it wasn't Jiang Peilin. He didn't show any displeasure at all. Instead, he reached out and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear.

Several other people stared at her in amazement.

Only to see that a place in the village was on fire.

Ning Shu didn't hear us finish our words.

Those several maidservants looked terrified and retreated upstairs.

The midwife touched her face, and the ashen pallor seemed to fade a bit, revealing some of her original features. Only then did Ning Shu realize she looked somewhat familiar, but she remained wary, watching her closely just as she was about to call her in.

After all, Jiang Peilin's appearance is so handsome, and his status is not so noble. Which woman wouldn't be moved when she sees him

Actually, Jiang Peilin found these people weren't aware of my identity. It was just that this maid had seen me appear in the royal capital before and knew I wasn't Jiang Peilin, the legitimate son of the Xiangfu. She simply didn't dare to act on it.

Facing the empty space beside him, he fell into silence.

"Help! Help!"

I turned and left, but the maids' words lingered in my ears.

She seemed to have let something slip, and quickly covered her mouth.

Ning Shuchou was stunned. Jiang Peilin was busy getting married

The midwife said, "Now that Young Master Lin is busy with his marriage arrangements, he still comes here every day."

And besides, I am now confined to the manor. Even if Jiang Peilin marries the county princess, I wouldn't be informed about it anyway.

Ning Shu also relieved herself, wasn't she She felt a sigh of relief. These maids dared to speak out against her, but it wasn't as if they were afraid. They had been daring enough to speak their minds privately before.

"If we weren't thinking about it, then just pretend she never said that."

Ning Shu kept her eyes open, gazing at Jiang Pei Lin's face as radiant as the moon. I pursed my lips slightly, then tightened my fingers, gripping the folding note hidden in Zang Rang's sleeve.

The midwife said again, “I wasn't following the orders of Madam Fu. Madam asked me to do this. If we hadn’t waited for the princess to enter the mansion, she would have found out about our arrangement sooner or later. By then, if we wanted to leave, we wouldn't be able to.”

Ning Shu originally wanted to listen, but since it wasn't Jiang Pei Lin doing it, I just asked.

Seeing herself give it away, the maidservant pouted and said, "...it's just like raising a concubine. It's just that Master Ning isn't a man, and the concubine isn't a woman either. Besides, Master Ning was born unable to have children. After the county magistrate entered the mansion, she certainly wouldn't allow a man to share her husband with her..."

And what will they do this time

The midwife hurriedly said, “It wasn’t me, I'm not by the mistress's side, you remember”

Ning Shu thought, wouldn't it be better to have him think I was probably going to lose favor I pursed my lips slightly until no one came to the manor to deliver things.

I gave an expression of astonishment.

When Ning Shu heard this, she was stunned and a little embarrassed.

I took a deep breath and said, "What I mean is, I don't want to just chat with anyone every day. I'd rather wait until you come see me so we can talk."

Ning Shu spoke inexplicably, "I just wanted to ask her for some things."

"If I were a man, I could be brought into the house as a concubine. But since I'm not, I can only stay at the estate. Although the master doesn't treat me exceptionally well, he does show me great affection."

When Ning Shugan said this, her heart was pounding. She hadn't asked about it for several days. Every time she had asked Jiang Peilin before, she would be severely reprimanded. Even if his face wasn't particularly grim, he gave off an aura that made people feel intimidated.

Ning Shu choked up, "Jiang Pei Lin, what do you actually think I am"

Jiang Peilin walked over and carried me onto the bed. He said in a calm tone, "If it weren't for this possibility, I wouldn't just want someone to accompany us here."

The midwife had already prepared the money and placed it on me, saying, "This is what Madam told me to give you. She asked me to take you out of the city. However, young master Ning, once we leave the capital, we will have to leave here far, far away. We'll never come back again, young master Ning. Have you thought about where we should go"

Ning Shu felt a bit confused. To be honest, she even thought this county princess was rather pitiful. She knew very well who her husband-to-be was. On the surface, he seemed like an upright and honorable gentleman, but behind closed doors, he was actually cavorting with other men.

I turned my face slightly and whispered, “When are you going to let me out”

"The young master is truly handsome, isn't he It's a pity he isn't a danzhu." One maid chimed in.

Ning Shu's scalp tingled, not just from looking into those deep eyes. Jiang Pei Lin stared at her for a while, then asked, "What do you want to ask"

The people upstairs were startled and hurriedly began to put out the fire. Until a maid suddenly came to her senses: "That's not Master Ning's house!"

Then why... would I still want to be deceived

......

Although these maidservants didn't do anything to me, my face flushed hot.

"We just need to remember, I am not you. It's enough that your husband is."

Jiang Peilin rarely moved me. He just hugged me into his arms and fell asleep holding me tightly.

The princess is not really a woman of ancient times, nor is marriage the end of a woman's life.

Ning Shu pursed her lips, her expression becoming a little dazed.

Jiang Peilin stared at me for a long while, then said, "So, that maid named Qiu Yue, do you like her"

In the courtyard of Zhuangzi, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly rang out. But the people in Zhuangzi didn't take it seriously. Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "The water is rising! The water is rising! Someone come quickly!"

"Even if not the young master, it would be hard to protect us. The madam told us to consider leaving, and she could help us if we didn't want to leave."

Ning Shu saw a maid's pitiful eyes.

When it comes to talking about others' situations, there's no pity or envy in her words.

Immediately, none of the maidservants rose to lead the way.

The midwife immediately took out a piece of paper and drew something on it.

The annulment is such a remote possibility. Although Ning Shu is merely a modern soul, I know that once the Emperor speaks, his words are hard to retract. What can Jiang Peilin possibly use to defy the Imperial decree Could he use the entire Jiang family estate Isn't it still relying on my title as the top scholar

"Jiang Peilin is not me, my husband.... What about that county princess"

Jiang Peilin, however, did not lower his eyes slightly: "If you want to ask me anything, I can do it with you."

The mistress even had an ending prepared for me, intending to find the culprit's body and, since there was no resemblance between my figure and theirs, impersonate them.

Ning Shu returned to her room, and after a short while, the midwife jumped in from the window.

For a whole day he didn't show up, and I just hugged the boy without explaining anything.

Because Ning Shu also knew how long Jiang Peilin would keep her locked up.

especially not hearing the private words people speak behind your back.

In the end, Ning Shu still accepted it.

By then, Jiang Peilin seeing "me," would only think that I had already ascended to the next world.

...crazy.

Ning Shu remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "If I didn't want to say it, how could I tell Madam"

Then he said, "Almost there, just wait a little longer for me, Nining."

.....

Ning Shu reacted, Jiang Pei Lin was even jealous of the private conversations I had with my maidservant. Looking at those dark and unreadable eyes, I couldn't believe it, yet found it absurd.

But it shouldn't be coming back, I've already put on my clothes and left.

.....

Several maidservants instantly went limp with fear, retreating in place.

The people above panicked and rushed out, but no one dared to look back. The fire spread incredibly fast, engulfing the entire house. The intense flames caused the roof beams to collapse.

Ning Shu became even more silent.

"I'm even more confused now," Ning Shu thought. What did Jiang Pei-lin mean by keeping himself busy for a while Wasn't he making me wait for something, waiting for the annulment Wasn't he waiting for me to actually marry the princess and complete the ceremony"

Those people continued, saying, "…Actually, Young Master Ning isn't a pitiful person either."

When Ning Shu was tossed and turned to sleep, Jiang Pei-lin had already gotten up and put on his clothes. Then he walked out the door. I opened my eyes and woke up in shock.

And at this moment, An Ningshu was sitting inside the carriage. I felt complicated, thinking that if Jiang Pei Lin came back and saw this scene, he would surely know what kind of expression he would have.

"After getting the old woman to help her, putting everything on, and about to leave, she suddenly looked anxious and said: "I need to use the restroom, but no one is here to take me."

I thought to myself, Jiang Peilin thinks I'm not a fickle person He falls in love so easily.

Gang Peilin rarely came over without a break.

"A broken sleeve" Another maid, holding back her words, said: "Young master is already betrothed to the county lord, how could it be a broken sleeve"

Ning Shu was even so captivating that I instructed the attendant to watch over me closely.

Ning Shu slowly got up, I still had an ambiguous red mark on my neck. A certain place was particularly loved, and I knew that Jiang Peilin would go to such a place so late.

Ning Shu looked carefully and found that this woman was indeed not serving the madam. My heart tightened, but I didn't ask: "...I just know the madam doesn't need me for anything" 。。"The classmates couldn't help but misunderstand, thinking that Ning Shu was so pretty, she couldn't possibly be a... and that she had even gone under the knife. " 。Or perhaps he was transgender, a...
