MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 6

  Chapter 6

  Wen Ning blinked, covering her emotions. Now that nothing has happened, their marriage fell through, and perhaps Shen Jin's future will change accordingly.

   "Second Master Shen." Seeing that Shen Jin had approached, Wen Ning greeted him politely.

   Shen Jin was not polite, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, and quickly led her to the corridor.

   "Ah Ning, but what did my mother say yesterday that didn't please you, did it irritate you?" When the two came to an empty corner, Shen Jin asked anxiously with red eyes.

  Wen Ning has restrained her emotions, how to tell Shen Jin has already been thought about before.

  She pulled out her wrist, took two steps back, distanced herself from Shen Jin, and blessed Fushen again: "Second Master Shen, it's not that Lingtang said something unpleasant, but..."

Wen Ning paused, then lowered her eyebrows and said, "Since hearing that Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen came to discuss marriage a few days ago, Ah Ning has been in a state of uneasiness. After thinking about it, I realized...it turned out that Ah Ning had already divorced the two of them over the years. The young master treats you as a relative, just like your own brother. Ah Ning really can't imagine being married to someone like her brother..."

   "Second Young Master..." Wen Ning bit her red lips, looking forward to him, "So, can you understand?"

  Shen Jin joined the army at the age of fifteen. Compared with other nobles in Beijing, his skin is particularly brown chestnut, but his temperament is still elegant, not like a person who kills on the battlefield.

  Hearing Wen Ning's answer, the urgency on his face was gradually replaced by disappointment, his eyes became redder, and he said softly, "Ah Ning, are you serious?"

"Second Young Master, Ah Ning really thinks so." Wen Ning lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know when, but I regarded you as my elder brother... So when I heard that we were going to get married, I was a little flustered... What I said to my uncle and aunt yesterday was really rude, and when Ah Ning sees her uncle and aunt in the future, she will definitely apologize in person."

   Shen Jin came here today, why did he want to hear Wen Ning apologize.

  But what she said was impeccable, no matter what she said, she couldn't tell she was lying.

   Besides...

  Shen Jin looked at Wen Ning carefully. After listening to what his mother said yesterday, he almost stayed up all night, and he is still in a trance until now.

  Ke Wenning looked very good, although it was because of the makeup...

  Thinking of this, Shen Jin asked without giving up: "Ah Ning, you put on makeup specially today, is it because..." You didn't sleep all day last night and your face looked haggard?

Before he finished speaking, Wen Ning raised her head and said in surprise: "The second son also noticed it? The day before yesterday, Linglan bought me a box of Qixiangju's rouge, which was very beautiful. I will have a second sister-in-law in the future, and I will give her a few boxes .”

  Wen Ning didn't seem to understand what he meant, and she obviously didn't wear makeup to cover up her haggardness. The light that had just ignited in Shen Jin's eyes disappeared again.

   Yes it is. He and Wen Ning haven't seen each other for three months. He finished his frontier duty more than a week ago and went home to take a rest. He just urged Shen Gaolan to go to Wen's house to propose marriage.

  I thought that the relationship between the two would be different when they met again, but I never thought...

  Wen Ning seen today is indeed different from before.

  In the past, she would blush when talking to him, wishing she could hide behind Linglan, how could she speak so generously about her daughter's family?

  But in just three months, has the past friendship disappeared with her?

   "Ah Ning, do you...do you..."

...

   Unable to ask the last sentence, Shen Jin rolled his eyes, his complexion became even more ashamed.

  Wen Ning said with concern but cautiously: "Second Young Master, it's already noon. Eldest brother is preparing a meal in the dining hall ahead. Would you like to come with us? Eldest brother must miss you very much."

  Shen Jin lowered his head and shook his head: "No..."

   "No..." repeated unconsciously, and turned around in despair.

  Wen Ning saw him dragging his lonely steps farther and farther, and then she put away the innocent expression on her face.

  She also felt a little uncomfortable. But whether it's for her benefit or for his benefit, their marriage is impossible.

  Wen Ning sighed, so she must do this villain.

  Standing in the corridor for a while, Wen Ning restrained her emotions and walked towards the dining hall.

  After all this, Shen Jin must have given up. Even if he didn't give up, he knew that Luo Hua had no intention of doing so, and their marriage was impossible.

  She thought back on her performance just now, and she was quite satisfied, but she didn't expect that she had a talent for acting.

   I was really buried in my previous life.

  Wen Ning sighed again, thinking that when this talent is still useful in the future, she needs to practice more.

  Wen Ning walked slowly while adjusting her mood. When eating later, she will explain the matter with Shen Jin to Wen Lan again, so this matter will be considered as over.

  Wen Ning had been brewing a speech for a while, and she had already arrived at the entrance of the Zhaitang.

  She is no stranger to this Zhaitang. Every year Wen Tingchun comes to Ci'en Temple to chant scriptures and pray for his deceased mother, and eat a fast meal here. Since it is a fasting hall, it is not as exquisite as the restaurants outside. There are private seats and boxes, and the whole hall is connected, only some round tables of different sizes are placed.

   Today is not a special day, there are not many people in the Zhaitang. Wen Ning caught sight of Linglan who was laying bowls in front of a table, and was about to ask about her elder brother, when she heard Wen Lan's joyful voice: "Excuse me, you and I are really destined to meet again here."

  Wen Ning paused suddenly when she raised her foot and stepped in. Suddenly, it was like hearing thunder, and the hairs all over her body were about to stand on end.

  Pei You, forgive me.

  In the previous life, this person forcefully engraved these five characters into her bones and blood, which made her feel timid and deterred. Let alone do it again, even if she did it twice or three times, she would never forget it.
