MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 149 Pei You, you lied to me

  The Ministry of Industry is indeed not busy recently, but all the people in the Ministry of Industry have discovered that for some reason, their servant is extremely busy.

  Whenever I have free time every day, I write at my desk. Some unurgent official documents are put aside, and when I am off duty every day, I take a pile of them home for processing.

  Master Shi Lang's temper has been a little cloudy and uncertain recently, and no one dared to go forward to ask, but secretly thought about it, maybe it was some secret mission entrusted by His Majesty.

  At noon this day, Mr. Assistant Minister went out suddenly, and when he came back, he felt that the sky in the entire Ministry of Industry was fine.

  Obviously he didn't say anything, but everyone felt that the dark cloud that was pressing on their heads seemed to have drifted away, and the air was much fresher.

   Then someone noticed that Mr. Minister, who was usually either at his desk or dealing with affairs, raised his head from time to time to take a look at the moment.

   Is this under... wait?

   Hey, this is a new thing!

  Master Shi Lang has been in a good mood for a while, and he is also stepping on the current value, but it is the first time that he is so obviously insane.

   Sure enough, as soon as the time came, he put down the pen in his hand, and went out without even bringing the official documents on the table.

  Gu Fei also felt that his eldest son came out very early today, and his eyes were clear, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

  Sixteen came an hour ago and asked him what he wanted to report, but he refused to tell him, insisting on going in to see the prince himself.

  Sixteen has been following Wen Ning recently, and Gu Fei didn't stop him, watching him go in for half an hour before coming out.

   Could it be that there is some good news from Madam?

  But Madam stays at home every day, so if there is any good news, Madam shouldn't pass it on.

  Gu Fei opened the curtain for Pei You, and said in a low voice: "The girl from Wutong Lane went out today, but everything is normal and there is no abnormality."

  If there is any abnormality, someone has already come to report it.

  This news was expected by Pei You, but in the end, his brows and eyes sank, and he let out an unhappy "hmm".

   "My lord, over there..." Gu Fei was also a little confused.

   They made such a round with such a big fanfare, is it worth it?

  For this bureau, a large number of secret guards were involved. Both the eldest son and his wife could not return home, and they had been separated for almost two months.

  But the other party remained calm and did not move, not knowing whether he had taken the bait or not.

  If they get it wrong, and the other party doesn't care about the girl from Wutong Lane, or if they have already seen the flaw, wouldn't all their efforts be useless?

   "Everything is as usual." Pei You didn't seem to waver at all.

  Gu Fei also bowed his hands and said yes, and withdrew.

  Now there is no need to ask the prince where he is going, he must be going to Wutong Lane, Gu Fei raised his whip and drove the horse, but when passing Wanfangzhai, the people in the carriage shouted to stop.

  Pei You didn't intend to let the unrelated people in Wutong Lane affect his good mood, so he went to Wanfangzhai to buy two peanut cakes and returned to the carriage.

  What is the little girl going to say to him?

  Sixteen is steady and seldom exaggerated, but today he can't help but feel a little bit emotional: "Young Master, Madam is very happy today, and specially asked the subordinates to come down and ask Young Master to go back earlier, saying that she has something to say to Young Master."

very happy.

  Pei You pondered these words, the corners of his lips raised involuntarily, and his eyes drooped habitually, hiding the smile in it.

  The carriage stopped at Wutong Lane as usual, and the people in the carriage entered a courtyard in Wutong Lane as usual, but the courtyard wall was deep, and outsiders had no way of knowing what was going on in the yard.

  What was different from usual was that the inconspicuous back door of the courtyard opened half an hour earlier than usual.

  Genius sank slightly, and a dark figure jumped out of it, and then submerged in the winding alley.

  Knocking on the door at this time, the young man at the back door knows who is coming without any further questioning. He quickly opens the door, retreats silently, and closes the door immediately when someone comes in. It is as silent as if nothing happened.

  Pei You only had two packs of snacks in his hands, no official documents, and naturally he didn't take any notebooks.

   No wonder he, she teased him so much today, how could he keep writing?

   Just coax it later.

  Pei You walked into Xiangti Garden, the yard seemed to have been tidied up specially, and it was cleaner than usual. The people in the yard had been arranged by Wen Ning, and at night only Linglan was left alone.

  Linglan saw him coming, she went forward to salute as usual, she hesitated to speak: "Master, Miss today..."

  Pei You looked at the lit boudoir, all her heart was on the girl inside, how could she pay attention to Linglan's expression, listened to what she said, waved her to go down, and went into the room by herself.

  As soon as he opened the door, there was the familiar daughter's fragrance, mixed with the rich fragrance of roses.

  Pei You naturally thought of the kiss that night. He hugged Wen Ning on the desk. She had such a trance-like fragrance on her body.

  Thinking about it this way, I couldn't bear it even more, and couldn't wait to see the little girl who had been thinking about it all day.

   It's just that his steps are fast, and the room is still very quiet.

  The lamps and candles were a little darker than usual, and when he entered the room, Wen Ning was not as happy as he imagined, greeted him with a smiling face, and pulled his sleeve to tell him what happened today.

She was sitting in front of the desk where he often sat, wearing a skirt that looked a bit flimsy at this time of year, obviously well-groomed, her brows were as thin as willows, her lips were as red as sand, and she rested her cheek on one hand, wondering what she was thinking when she heard the movement Looking up, there was a faint pink in the eyes.

  Pei You's restless heart suddenly calmed down.

  The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wen Ning lowered her eyes first. Pei You stepped over, put the snacks on the table, and then took out the fire folder.

   "Why don't you light the lamp?" Pei You turned on the lamp on the table with a gentle voice.

  Wen Ning frowned and said nothing.

  Pei You shook her hand: "Isn't it cold?"

  Wen Ning pulled back quickly, got up to leave, and Pei You grabbed her wrist and took her into her arms: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

  Wen Ning was not so obedient, but she didn't resist fiercely at all, she just firmly pushed away his hand holding her waist, and took two steps back.

  He is tall, even if she is leaning on the table, she still has to raise her head halfway to meet his gaze.

   "Pei You, do you have something to hide from me?" The pink in Wen Ning's eyes has faded away, and a pair of pupils are black and white, dancing with tiny firelights.

  When Pei You entered the door, the lingering look on Pei You's face also disappeared without a trace. His eyes were usually indifferent and dull. Hearing this, he twitched the corners of his lips: "So you asked me to come back earlier just to ask me this?"

  Wen Ning did not give up: "You answer my question first."

  Pei You lowered his eyes and smiled: "I've been hiding a lot of things from you, which one did you ask?"

  Wen Ning stared at him with brown eyes, was successfully choked up by him, unable to speak a word, turned around and left.

Pei You's eyebrows jumped, and he took Wen Ning into his arms from behind, sighed, and said softly: "I shouldn't talk to you like that, I mean, there are so many things in the Ministry of Industry, Naturally, I can't explain to you all the many things in the court."

  Wen Ning's body froze, wrapped in his warm breath, listening to his gentle tone, the soreness in her heart didn't dissipate like when he treated her like this before.

   She seemed to wake up suddenly.

  Pei You is good at anything. He is good at literature and martial arts, he can be the number one scholar in the scientific examination, he can be the leader of the army, and he can even write a storybook, which is unique and exciting.

  For a smart man like him, if he wants to seduce a girl, what's the problem?

These days, he fabricated one after another, his gentleness, his patience, and his flattery; he saw through her preferences, so he disguised himself according to what she liked, and the disguises again and again made her almost forget His original appearance.

   Just a little bit, just a little bit, she was going to believe him.

  Wen Ning firmly pushed away Pei Youhuan's hand on her waist again, stepped up to the low couch and sat down, blinked calmly: "Come and sit, let's chat."

  Pei You's dark eyes wandered over her face, lowered her eyelids lightly, walked over in two or three steps, and sat down with her robe lifted.

  There was a chessboard on the tea table on the low couch, which Wen Ning originally planned to play against him tonight.

  She is not good at chess, but she thinks he should be able to teach her.

   After all, she drank too much "wine".

  Wen Ning glanced at the chessboard, and turned her face away. Pei You also glanced at the extra chessboard, and frowned slightly.

"I wanted to play chess with you tonight." Wen Ning finally said, "It's the same as you thought, and I asked Linglan to buy some pastries. I wanted to eat with you, so I told you to go earlier come over."

   "Seeing that you seem to like the fragrance of roses." Wen Ning said calmly, "I picked a lot of them specially, and put several bunches inside and outside."

  A strange gleam lit up in Pei You's eyes, she moved her lips, but before she could make a sound, Wen Ning continued: "But when you come back, someone came to see me."

  Pei You looked sideways, waiting for Wen Ning's next words.

  Wen Ning looked up at him: "A dead person in your mouth."

  Pei You also looked at Wen Ning, her eyes were calm, not even agitated, she was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why did she come to you?"

   Sure enough, he knew it clearly.

The tip of Wen Ning's nose was a little sore, she pressed it down, and said in a flat voice as much as possible: "I planned to take her brother to Beijing to study, but I went to Tianxiang Pavilion to get her soft meat, and wanted to hand it over to him after her brother came to Beijing. If he refuses to come to the capital, this little girl will stay with me for a while."

   "She said she returned to Beijing with great difficulty and would not come back for two years, why?" Wen Ning looked up at Pei You again, "Did you order her?"

  Pei You still had no emotion on his face, his brows and eyes were so pale that he seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and he only moved his eyebrows very slightly: "Yes."

  Wen Ning's eyes turned pink again.

   "Wen Ning, it's just a trivial matter." Pei You looked at her calmly.

  Wen Ning's eyes became redder even more.

   Look, this is what he looks like.

  The matter of human life and fate, in his eyes, is just "a small matter".

   "If it wasn't for my people to save her, she would have no bones left now." Pei You didn't have any guilt in his eyes, "Why do you and I struggle with the issue of 'death' and 'immortality' here?"

   "How can it be the same?"

   "How is it different?"

  Wen Ning's eyes were red, and she took a forced breath to keep the tears from falling. Pei You's eyes were cold, and she didn't realize that she was wrong at all.

After confronting each other for a while, Pei You's eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone slowed down: "Wen Ning, it's a fact that someone wants to kill her; it's a fact that the person who wants to kill her may be the same person who intends to frame the Wen family; and at that time you If you marry Yan Li, it is a fact that the Wen family has nothing to rely on. Yingyao is dead or alive, and these facts cannot be changed. Why do you have to be so stubborn and hold on to this matter? Isn't it a good thing that she is still alive? ?”

  Wen Ning shook her head.

It's not like this.

   What she cares about is not these, what she cares about is...

   "Pei You, you lied to me." The soreness in Wen Ning's chest made her voice tremble a little, "I told you, I hate being tricked!"

  Pei You looked calmly: "You don't tire of deceit when you march, it's just a matter of expediency."

   An expedient measure, another expedient measure!

   Earlier it was said that it was an expedient measure for Xiaoya to abdicate after her return. Now even the life and death of a person can be said to be an expedient measure.

  How much expediency does he have? !

   "Pei You, what you said to me, which ones are true and which ones are false?"

  Pei You lowered his eyebrows and smiled, then raised his eyes to look at Wen Ning deeply: "What you said to me, which ones are true and which ones are false?"

   There was a moment of silence in the already cold room, followed by Wen Ning's tears rolling down his face.

   That's right, the two of them have something to hide from each other, and people who can't even do the most basic honesty, how can they start over?

   It was she who lost her head, she was blinded by illusions.

   It was her wishful thinking.

Seeing Wen Ning's tears, Pei You frowned, his eyes softened, and a faint remorse flashed in his eyes, he got up from the couch to Wen Ning's side, and took her tearful eyes into his hands: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have such an attitude. I'm used to it. Give me some time. It won't be like this in the future, huh?"

  Wen Ning's tears were wiped away, and then fell again. Pei You held her face, bent down and wanted to kiss her tears away, but Wen Ning dodged it.

   "Master Pei, why should you wrong yourself so much?" Wen Ning sneered, "Go against your nature and pretend to be someone who is not yourself at all?"

  Pei You's eyes froze, and his voice cooled a bit: "What do you mean?"

  Wen Ning wiped away her tears by herself, and said nothing more.

  Pei You turned away with her hands behind her back.

   "Let's go, don't come here again." Wen Ning sniffed, "You..."

   "Wen Ning." Before Wen Ning finished speaking, Pei You turned around with a cold look in her eyes, "I advise you not to mention the word 'heli'."

  Wen Ning was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again: "What if I mention you?"

She looked up at the face that was already in tears: "You want to imprison me? Lock me in a small courtyard and never see the light of day again? You want to put away all your disguises and break away from me All the reliance, make me unable to leave you again?!"

   In the end, it was still the gap between the two.

  Wen Ning spent a lot of effort to muster up the courage to step over, and raised her feet, a Yingyao, and brought everything back to its original shape.

  Pei You is still the unscrupulous Pei You.

  Pei You is still the same Pei You who will do everything to keep her by his side.

   These words made Pei You also stunned, he looked down at Wen Ning, his eyes were dark and deep: "Is that how you see me?"

  The tears that Wen Ning had just wiped came out again, and she wiped them with the back of her hand again.

"It's just that I don't want to see you marry someone else." Pei You used to have a faint blush in his indifferent eyes, "With your attitude of avoiding me at that time, if you don't do something small, how can you Will you nod? You have been married to the Duke's Mansion for a long time, so ask yourself, what did I fail to do with what I promised you? If you really want to reconcile, what can I do to you? I can't bear to cry, what can I do to you? !"

   "I don't like your tricks!" Wen Ning cried.

  The air in the room fell silent again.

  The candles flickered, and the fragrance of roses flowed faintly in the house, but it did not ease the silence in the house.

  Wen Ning sobbed softly, sitting on the low couch and drooping her head to wipe away her tears. Her carefully combed hair was not in a mess yet, but the front of her clothes was already stained with wetness, and the end of her eyes had already turned pink.

  Pei Youwei coaxed her like before. He stood a foot away from the low couch, his palms had already been subconsciously clenched into fists, his thin lips were tightly pressed, the crimson under his eyes faded, replaced by a silent coldness.

  He looked sideways at the weeping **** the low couch, as if he wanted to see through her.

   After a while, he suddenly smiled.

"Wen Ning." He just looked at her indifferently, her black pupils were full of her shadow, "I don't have much love and desire in my life, if I don't plan for myself, who will plan for me?" ?”

  He slightly lowered his brows and eyes, the girl in his pupils disappeared, and the small mole on the nose bone was so cold that it seemed to fade into the dust.

   "No one will, and neither will you."

  He turned around and walked away.

   When he reached the inner door, he stopped again.

"I'm not a good person to get along with." His voice was a little hoarse, his back looked a little ethereal under the flickering candlelight, and he said softly and slowly, "I pulled out the thorns on my body with my own hands, trying to get closer to you .”

   "What do you think of it?" He turned to look at her, "A disguise?"

  He smiled and left with his hands behind his hands.
