The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 88 "To marry, or not to marry?"

  The night wind was cool, Wen Ning was blown by the wind, the heat in his heart dissipated a little, and he found himself a little impulsive.

  But everyone has come down, and they can't go back by themselves.

  Standing under the carriage, with his face upturned, he glared at Pei You with big eyes.

   There was a light in the carriage, although it was rather dim, it did not prevent her from seeing Pei You's expression clearly.

He rested his hand casually on the window sill, and when he heard her question, he slightly raised his brows, and there was a bit of schadenfreude in his dull eyes, and he said as a matter of course: "Naturally let Miss Wen experience it too, being stalked to death The feeling of being beaten."

  Wen Ning: "..."

  This person... is so vile!

   "Don't follow me!" Wen Ning was so angry that her eyes were foggy, "It's not good to be seen by my family when I arrive at the mansion."

  Pei You smiled: "When Miss Wen was pestering me, it didn't feel bad to be watched by the whole capital."

   "Since when did I pester you!" Wen Ning's eyebrows were almost knotted, "It's just that... I just caught a son-in-law! I didn't really catch you!"

  Pei You laughed lowly: "So, it seems that I forgot to ask Miss Wen this morning, how can I be sure that I will not be caught by you and brought to Wen's mansion that day? If I am really caught, how do you plan to end up?"

  Wen Ning blinked guiltyly, she couldn't say that she knew he was good at martial arts then.

   "I... I don't want to talk to you about these old things, just stop following me!"

  Pei You nodded: "It turns out that West Sixth Street belongs to Wen's family, and the carriage next to it cannot pass by the gate of Wen's house."

  Wen Ning's chest froze, she bit her lip, and stared at Pei You even more fiercely.

  Pei You's usually calm face rarely showed a bit of obvious joy, and there was a little smile in his voice: "Miss Wen, why don't you come in the carriage?"

  What to say!

  Stopped her in the teahouse for nearly two hours in the morning, isn't that enough?

   "No!" Wen Ning turned around and left.

   Then he heard someone behind him yell in a deep voice: "Gu Fei."

   "Miss Wen, Your Majesty welcomes you." Gu Fei politely blocked Wen Ning's way.

   Here again?

  Wen Ning took a deep breath, looked up at the front, Linglan poked her head out of the sedan chair, and was looking around.

  Pei You's paranoid temperament, if he doesn't achieve his goal, he won't be kind.

  Wen Ning turned around, gritted her teeth and lifted her skirt to get into the car.

   "Didn't you say that the day..." Wen Ning lifted the curtain of the car, and her angry sentence fell silent in the second half of the sentence.

  It was originally a remote street, it was night, and the surroundings were silent.

   An oil lamp was lit in the car, the wick was like beans, dim and dim, but it ignited a ball of warmth around Pei You.

  He leaned against the lamp, holding a scroll in his hand, like a quiet ancient painting.

   It seems that she is shouting, rash and noisy.

  Wen Ning suppressed the breath in her heart, gave him a light look, and sat down at the rear of the carriage.

  Pei You didn't have the habit of using incense, and as soon as Wen Ning came in, the smell of wine was particularly obvious. He raised his eyelids to take a look, and saw that she sat down in the corner farthest from him, and pulled the corners of her lips.

   "You want me to come up, what are you talking about?" Wen Ning said, still a little rushed.

  Pei You raised her eyes again, and turned her face, which was still smelling of alcohol.

  Of course he wouldn't say that he saw her erratic eyes in the morning, his heart was shaking, and he was 90% sure in his heart, but it was unexpected for him to meet Duan Rushuang.

  He couldn't let this unexpected thing make the person who got it fly away.

   "Didn't you get off the sedan chair to find me?" He raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell back on the scroll.

  Wen Ning: "..."

   "If you have nothing to say, I'll get out of the car." Wen Ning was a bit fierce at first, but the surroundings were quiet, she deliberately lowered her voice, and after drinking, her voice sounded limp.

  Pei You glanced at her again, and withdrew her eyes: "The night is dark, and Miss Wen is used to being good at acting. Sitting so far away, I'm afraid Pei will be teased by the girl again."

  Wen Ning gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and moved towards Pei You patiently.

   "It's still too far away to see clearly."

  Wen Ning simply sat directly opposite the oil lamp, separated from Pei You's small table.

  Pei You just put down the book in his hand, and looked at Wen Ning leisurely: "Miss Wen, how are you thinking?"

  Wen Ning knew that he was going to talk about this matter, and on the surface it seemed that he didn't care much about it, but once he spoke, he had made up his mind and would never give up until he achieved his goal.

   "Didn't you say give me a day to think about it?"

   "Of course I regretted it." Pei You raised his eyebrows.

  Wen Ning: "..."

   "Is this how you are an official? You don't keep your promises and go back on your promises?"

Pei You took it for granted: "Giving you a day is my forgiveness. After thinking about it carefully, it will cause a lot of troubles, not to mention other things, but if that Yan Li sent Geng Tie tomorrow, Are you going to change or not? Even the horoscope has been closed two days later, how will the matter end?"

  Wen Ning frowned, looking down at her toes.

  She chatted with Duan Rushuang so much, she had a clear direction of thinking in her mind, but after drinking half a pot of wine, even though it was fruit wine, she was still a little dizzy.

  I wanted to go back to sleep and think about it.

   "Furthermore, today I have already delayed this matter all morning. I am busy with business. There is really no need to delay it again. What do you think, Miss Wen?"

  Wen Ning frowned, but said nothing.

  Pei You's eyes fixed on her face for a moment, but when she didn't speak, his eyes fell and fell on her hand holding the sachet.

  Wen Ning never let go of her willow-leaf eyebrows. After a while, her tone was no longer so aggressive: "Master Pei, are you sure you want to do that?"

  She really felt incredible.

   At the beginning, when she made a fuss to help her husband catch her son-in-law, she was considered audacious. Pei You was even more absurd, talking about fake couples, fake marriage...

   It is simply shocking and unheard of.

  Pei You laughed lowly: "Pei is not that busy yet, because of an unnecessary matter, I wasted two hours with you in the teahouse."

   "Then why..." Wen Ning wanted to ask again why did it have to be her?

   After thinking about it, I have already asked them all this morning.

  Pei You said so much because he didn't want to marry Princess Zhaohe, and second, he was lied to by her for a long time, so he was unhappy and wanted to find her.

  She wanted to marry Yan Li, but he refused to let her do so.

  Thinking of this, Wen Ning was depressed again, and she suppressed it, and asked instead: "Then you call a fake couple, how can you be fake?"

  Pei You answered simply: "Three matchmakers, six hires, eight sedan chairs, and ten miles of red makeup, I welcome you into the Duke's residence."

  Wen Ning moved her lower lip.

   Without waiting for her to speak, Pei You continued: "I will not touch you, nor will I interfere with your freedom, as long as you occupy the title of Shizi Concubine and abdicate after three years."

   "If she comes back in less than three years, you need to leave the Duke's Mansion early, but three years and 30,000 taels, one tael will not lose you."

  Pei You didn't mention the name of "Xiaoya" this time, but it's self-evident who this "she" is.

  Wen Ning couldn't hold back, and looked at him in confusion.

  Although from the first time he met him in this life, he talked about his marriage with "Xiaoya". But she really thought it was just an excuse.

  Even now, she thinks that he is actually lying when he says that she will occupy the title of Crown Princess and return it to "Xiaoya" in the future.

"Xiaoya" was only a ten-year-old girl when she met him, and she believed that he regarded her as his younger sister. , she really felt...

   Either Pei You is sick, or he is still using "Xiaoya" as a shield.

  Pei You also looked at her, with deep and shallow eyes, as if he was also looking at her expression: "Do you have any questions?"

  Wen Ning calmly withdrew his eyes, who knows what is in his mind.

   "Then you say you want to protect my Wen family, but how do you protect it?"

  Pei You tapped four fingers on the tea table, her dark eyes were sharp: "Naturally, I will do my best. When Pei is here, the Wen family will be there."

  Wen Ning scratched her palm.

   It is undeniable that this item is extremely attractive to her.

  If there is a beginning and end to a matter, and she can only take care of one end, then the other end she wants to take care of must be the safety and security of the entire Wen family.

  As for the whole Dayin, she only believes that Pei You has this ability.

  As long as he is willing, he can take Wen Mansion under his wings, and Baohe Mansion will be happy for the next life.

   "You said you got married in a fake way, how could it be possible for so many people in the Duke's Mansion not to be spotted?"

   "There are only a few confidantes in my yard, what can other people spy on?"

   "You say you can't move me, why not?"

   "Except for the first three days of the wedding, I will sleep in the study and you will sleep in the master bedroom."

   "Why do you want to get rid of the first three days of marriage?"

  Pei You smiled: "If you don't bring a dowry maid, or you can persuade them to accept this matter and promise not to publicize it, you don't need those three days."

  Wen Ning blinked.

  She definitely wanted to take Linglan with her, but she really couldn't talk to her about such absurd things.

   After three days of pretending with Pei You, at worst, she will feel that she is not favored.

   "The high-ranking princess of the morning and evening Ding and Pei Guogong have sharp eyesight, how can they not notice the clues?"

   "My mother spends a long time in the Buddhist hall, and my father is obsessed with poetry and painting and doesn't often leave the courtyard, so there is no need to settle down in the morning and evening."

   "If there is nothing in three years..."

  Wen Ning swallowed the last two words, this is actually easy, just give him a few concubines.

   "Then if you and I are in trouble with Lihou Wen's residence, will you take care of it or not?" Wen Ning asked again.

  Pei You smiled again, his eyes were dark and deep: "Is there any reason to ignore a husband and wife for a hundred days?"

  Wen Ning bit her lower lip.

   Reason tells her that there is probably no more suitable choice than Pei You.

  He almost met all of her criteria for choosing a husband. The family has simple relationships, is free, does not need to have children, can protect her family, and... also earns a lot of money.

   Can be emotionally…

  It happened so suddenly, she had planned for a long time to get as far away from him as possible, but she couldn't turn it around all at once, and couldn't accept that the person she was going to marry became him.

   Even if it is a fake marriage as he said.

  Pei You didn't rush her, but reached out and flicked the wick, and the light in the carriage brightened a lot.

  She stopped talking, and he asked casually, "Did you drink at Miss Duan's just now?"

  Wen Ning was at war with heaven and man in her heart, so she let out a casual "hmm".

   "I also have a jug of wine here, try it?" Pei You looked jade-like, opened the teacup on the table, and poured the wine from the gourd next to it.

  Wen Ning discovered that there was actually a wine gourd in the corner with the back of the light, and the moment the wine was poured out, the aroma of the wine was tangy.

  If she looks up at this moment and sees the smile in Pei You's eyes, she will think of her own evaluation of Pei You - the more beautiful the smile, the darker the invisible heart will be.

  But she was depressed, she was slightly drunk from drinking at Duan Rushuang's just now, and she was very thirsty, she frowned at the clear glass of wine, grabbed it and poured it into her mouth.

   I don't want this to be fruit wine, but a glass of spirits.

  The acrid smell of alcohol went down her throat, and then went up her throat, straight to the top of her head. It took her a lot of effort to hold back her coughing, but her eyes were red and tears almost fell down.

   "Miss Wen, don't worry, the night is still long, you can drink slowly if you like." Pei You poured her another glass slowly.

  Wen Ning wouldn't dare to drink again, the teacup was about the size of two or three winecups on weekdays, and she didn't drink much, so she had already drank some before, and when she drank another cup, she immediately felt that the soles of her feet were floating.

  Sitting for a while, I feel that my brain is also turning slowly.

   "Miss Wen, if you have any concerns, just speak up." Pei You turned the conversation back to its original position.

   There are no worries, no, no, Wen Ning has been pestered by him from morning to night, it is very annoying.

  She didn't say anything, but her cheeks became more and more red.

   "If not, it's settled?" Pei You raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

  Wen Ning looked up and saw that one Pei You had turned into two, and she felt even more annoyed: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, you are so annoying! I'm going home!"

  Wen Ning stood up straight from her seat.

   A "boom"—

  The carriage is just a car after all, no matter how big the space is, it cannot accommodate people standing upright. Wen Ning heard the sound, but didn't feel any pain. When she looked up, Pei You covered the roof of the car with her hands first.

  Her head hit his palm.

   Before he could figure out what was going on, he pulled him to sit down again: "After answering my question, I will let you go home."

"what is the problem?"

   "To marry, or not to marry?"

   To marry, or not to marry? Just thinking about this problem gave Wen Ning a headache.

  Pei You still held her hand, she wanted to shake it off, but he held it tighter.

  Swipe it again, but still can't get rid of it, but buckle even harder.

  Wen Ning only felt the smell of alcohol and anger rushing her mind to pieces, and blurted out: "Marry, marry, marry! Let me marry you! Let go..."

   Before she could finish speaking, Pei You let go of her hand, and lightly smoothed her cuffs that were messed up: "Gu Fei, please come over and help her girl get out of the car."

  Wen Ning blinked her foggy eyes in a daze.

   No... what did she just say?
