Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Young mother Tuesday had to be cared for in every possible way. Even Yao Ji, who usually had to control her, seemed to be submissive. This kind of care made her a little uncomfortable for a while.  Zhang Ning also looks at her almost every day. Her belly is not visible yet. It is said that she can still have sex with her, but that kind of thing has been banned.  Zhang Ning has been married for two years, and finally has hope, so he must be very careful.

    But this does not prevent Zhang Ning from finding time to talk to her every day.

    "Mrs. Yu sent a congratulatory gift, and she even wrote a gift list for this little thing." Tuesday's mother said casually, "I don't think the gift is small, but there is no need to write it on paper?"

    "Yu Qian's wife?" Zhang Ning asked knowingly, asking for the gift list at the same time, "Governor Yu is in charge of the money and food of the entire Jiangxi. His family wants to get some money, and people beg to send it to their door. Isn't this incorruptible? Don't dislike it.  "

    Zhang Ningzheng said, and when he took it to take a look, he found an item on it that said fifty eggs. He suddenly felt ashamed, "The governor's legitimate income is not like this"

    But he soon discovered something special. There was a little ink in the lower corner of the gift list, and he gradually remembered that this was a secret code for a tryst.  The original intention was here, maybe she thought that only by giving a slightly strange gift would it be enough to become a conversation starter and attract Zhang Ning's attention.

    He suddenly had random thoughts in his mind.  Since the Battle of Jiujiang, he has deliberately avoided Dong, and she was forced to do so from the beginning, so as long as Zhang Ning takes the initiative to stay away, there is no problem of being entangled, and Dong is also a decent person with status and reputation.  We had agreed on a secret code before, but had never used it Zhang Ning did this not because he liked the new but because he was impulsive and realized that the risk was too great.  If Dong's affair is revealed, it will directly affect the mutual trust between him and Yu Qian. Zhang Ning's appreciation for him is a trivial matter. Once a conflict occurs, it will indirectly affect the cooperation with Yang Shiqi's party In Zhang Ning's layout concept,  They wanted to try their best to win over the old gentry. After all their efforts, they finally managed to win over Yang Shiqi. Without Yang Shiqi, where would they find such a suitable and important leader?

    So this time, Dong¡¯s hint was ignored?

    Zhang Ning felt that this was not his style, and it would be better to at least make it clear to her in person. Am I the kind of person who runs away out of fear?

    When he thought of this, he left the harem on the pretext of official duties and went straight to the cabinet study.  Xu Wenjun and Zhao Erniang were still there helping to sort out the transcripts of official documents received from various places.

    Zhang Ning then said: "Er Niang, please put down what you are doing first and come in and I will speak to you."

    Xu Wenjun didn't hear Zhang Ning call her, so she was doing things slowly outside, but she was also a little curious.  Zhang Ning sat on the chair and thought about it, then asked Zhao Erniang: "I have something small that I want to ask you to do. If someone asks, what will you say?"

    Zhao Erniang looked confused. It was obvious that her words were meaningless, but she quickly replied: "My memory is generally very poor, and I forget everything after I finish it."

    Zhang Ning then waved and said in her ear: "Go to Yu Qian's house and take Mrs. Yu to the bamboo forest courtyard by the sand lake."

    Zhao Erniang is indeed a person who has worked as a spy. She doesn't talk much and just nods and agrees simply.  Zhang Ning was worried and asked again: "What are you going to do?"

    Zhao Erniang thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "I will say that it was sent by the palace to return the gift, and I will not say who sent it. When I see Mrs. Yu, I will make an appointment with her at a nearby place first. Wait for her to go out later, and then  Send them away quietly in a carriage Of course there can be a better way, let me think about it for a while."

    Zhang Ning was immediately relieved. Zhao Erniang was really experienced in doing this kind of thing.

    The Bamboo Forest Villa on the other side of Shahu Lake is just an empty house. Normally, manpower would not be used to keep a lookout.  That is to say, no one will know where Dong is going, except Zhao Erniang.  But when Zhang Ning goes there, he can't be so unnoticed. He has strict protection around him. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not in charge, there will definitely be someone from the Guards Li Zhen. He cannot suddenly disappear from everyone's sight.

    So Zhang Ning felt that he should estimate the time and directly ordered Xin Wei to call Chunmei, and she would send someone to be responsible for her safety when leaving the palace.

    He thought about this matter twice and found a loophole.  If the Ministry of Internal Affairs monitors the family members of the government, then wouldn't some group of people know about Dong's whereabouts?

    After thinking about it, Yao Ji couldn¡¯t escape Yao Ji¡¯s eyes. The more she tried to avoid it, the more trouble she got.  He no longer hesitated and immediately asked Xin Wei to go find Zhimei. He let Zhimei take charge of the matter. She was a high-ranking person in the Internal Affairs Ministry and had very high authority. She could easily find out whether there were people monitoring Yu Mansion and who they were.  .

    In the afternoon, Zhang Ning quietly left the Chu Palace in a carriage and went straight to the shore of Shahu Lake.  It was still the quiet bamboo forest. He got off the carriage outside the forest, and he and Yanmei walked there.

    Lip plums really know too much secret, including Zhang NingThere is no way to keep them from knowing.  This time he asked Chunmei to stay close to the yard for protection and went up to the pavilion alone.  Zhao Erniang walked down, looked at him with a half-smile, and quietly pointed to a door. The moment they passed by, she actually winked at Zhang Ning.

    Opening the door, she saw Ms. Dong sitting sideways in front of the dressing table. She didn't look back, but her ears turned red instantly.  Zhang Ning grabbed a handful of things from his arms and placed them gently on the table. He admitted that he was too vulgar, as the handful of shiny yellow things were filled with gold, gemstones and jewelry.  He said something more vulgar: "If you do it, you can spend it as private money. Everything is just a cloud. Why treat yourself badly just to show off?"

    Sure enough, Mrs. Dong turned around with an angry and shy blush on her face. She had a round face and fair skin, so the blush was very conspicuous, as if she had drunk some wine.  She asked in a low voice: "Who do you think I am? Do you look down on me?" Such a woman can't let go, but she is still so gentle even when questioning.

    Zhang Ning said: "If I want to see you, it will take a lot of effort. If I look down on you, why would I go through so much trouble?"

    "I was also very scared and on tenterhooks." Madam Dong said softly, "I thought you weren't coming, and I was secretly relieved, but when the person calling herself Zhao Erniang came to the house, I was very happy Why are you  No words for months?"

    Zhang Ning was silent for a while. He didn't know what his mentality was. He could only say in a very tactful way: "I'm a little worried like you. I'm worried about you. If things are exposed, I have a way to make up for it. Maybe the governor can still make up for it."  Reach some kind of compromise with me so that we won't break up; but with his temper, he will definitely not be able to tolerate you, so how will you live like a human being in the future?"

    He remembered that he had considered getting along with Dong in order to understand Yu Qian's private mentality.  But now he understands how far-fetched this reason is. People are really pathetic. They can even deceive themselves Subconsciously, he may feel that taking risks for the sake of personal love is a sin; and then he knowingly makes excuses to achieve psychological balance.  .

    I believe that Ms. Dong is a person who knows the power of ethics and the benefits. She can make a judgment just by mentioning this.

    Unexpectedly, she actually reached out her hand. Although she was a little hesitant, she looked touched.  This Zhang Ning was a little confused. Did she understand what she meant wrong?

    He struggled to figure out his own logic: Dong was originally a very polite and conservative person, and she accepted the requirements of Confucian etiquette for her words and deeds from the bottom of her heart; but he first used violence to possess her, and then tried every means to gradually undermine her persistence.  , just like what I said when I gave her jewelry just now, I unconsciously instilled in her the value of instant gratification.  Then I want to escape in order to avoid risks. Isn't this kind of approach a bit bad?

    Is this a betrayal?  Zhang Ning's spirit was a little dazed, as if he was not in the Ming Dynasty, but in memories of a long time ago.

    The woman's gentle whisper came to my ears. It's just that the environment here is too quiet. The snow has not yet melted in the first month, and there is almost no sound around.  That ethereal voice seemed to have penetrated time and space from the Ming Dynasty, whispering in front of me across the yellowed paper from a very far away place.

    Zhang Ning somehow gently hugged her waist, wanting to touch such a beautiful woman wearing an antique skirt and exuding the fragrance of books and fragrance.

    "I'm not a nympho | baby slut | woman." She whispered to Zhang Ning, "It's just that the time has been a little long, and I miss the time when I am with you. It is warm at first, and then I will reach the place of bliss. Apart from you,  I can't get back that feeling of dying"

    Just when they were about to indulge in it, a sudden knock on the door woke them up.

    The person outside the door found that the door was unlatched, and Chunmei's voice asked: "Can I come in?" Zhang Ning said: "Come in." Dong's clothes were still neat, and he hurriedly turned his back.

    Lip Mei walked in and said, "Things seem a little not good."

    Zhang Ning asked: "How do you say it?"

    Chunmei said: "Xiao Qing next to Yang Shiqi's adopted daughter Luo Yaoniang was the woman who came into the palace to check the princess's pulse that day. Qiuye thought she was suspicious, so I was ordered to arrange two groups of people to monitor them, and Luo Yaoniang was also watching.  Not long ago, the person I arranged reported that Luo Yaoniang was near this courtyard. She has been here for a while There are few people here and there is nothing. How come she happened to be nearby, so I think Luo Yaoniang may have seen the prince.  With Mrs. Yu."

    Mrs. Dong was shocked when she heard this, and Zhang Ning found that the blood on her face disappeared in an instant and turned white.

    Chunmei glanced at Mr. Dong calmly and said, "Secretly catching Luo Yaoniang immediately can prevent the spread of the matter."

    "That Xiao Qing and Luo Yaoniang are together?" Zhang Ning asked.

    Chunmei shook her head and said: "No, just give me a?.  We don't know how she became aware of Mrs. Yu's whereabouts.  "

    "She will definitely tell her husband, so she can" Mrs. Dong said in a trembling voice: "She will definitely tell her husband, so that she can" Mrs. Dong seemed to have always thought that Luo Yaoniang and Yu Qian had an affair.

    Zhang Ning suddenly said: "Don't touch Luo Yaoniang, catch Xiao Qing immediately. Don't rush into Yang's house rashly, find a way to get her out and do something, don't alarm too many people."

    Chuanmei's eyes rolled and the corners of her mouth moved: "I admire the prince's decision. Why didn't I think of this method?"
