Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 275 Chen Mo: As long as I am here, no one will bully you

It was a letter from King Huai. Chen Mo checked it carefully and found that the wax seal was still intact and had not been opened before.

Chen Mo opened it and read it. The King of Huai agreed to his request and agreed to make a blood pact on the Huai River, but he also asked Chen Mo to agree to one of his requests.

That is to announce to the world that Liang Song's wife died of illness before April of the eighth year of Xuanhe.

That is to say, let Chen Mo tell the world that Liang Song's wife was not captured. Among the family members captured at that time, only Liang Xue and a group of servants were captured.

Chen Mo was a little confused after reading it. He returned Ning Wanbai to them without asking for ransom. He even sent it to the Huai River in person, but they actually didn't want it.

And it's not just about not wanting it. Although the letter didn't say it directly, the meaning revealed between the lines was that he wanted to kill Ning Yuan.

……

Ning Wan's life in the backyard was not going well, and since Chen Mo asked her to take it over to Prince Huai a few days ago, she always felt a little uneasy.

The surrounding environment and strange people made her feel out of place.

In this backyard, she couldn't just walk around as she used to. When eating, she would feel uncomfortable even if she was called over to eat or sit together.

Today, she was menstruating, and without a maid to attend to her, she lay on the bed as if she was sick, covered with a quilt, her eyelids were heavy, and her hands were on her lower abdomen, rubbing it gently.

The dim light in the room shone on that face as white as jade, which was as white as snow and frail, as if she was seriously ill and in urgent need of some good medicine.

I don't know how much time passed, but Ning Wan's eyelids gradually became heavy, and a feeling of sleepiness came over her. When she felt uncomfortable and opened her eyes, she suddenly shuddered, and vaguely saw a tall and tall figure with a slight expression on his face. of concern.

"Aunt Ning, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so pale?" Chen Mo said.

After receiving the letter, Chen Mo walked towards the backyard, intending to tell Ning Wan about it. When he came to the yard, he found no one there. He called twice, but there was no response.

Chen Mo thought something had happened, so he went into the room privately and took a look. He saw Ning Wan lying on the bed with an ugly face and a little pain between her eyebrows.

"Master Hou." Ning Wan's head was groggy, and she thought she had made a mistake. When she saw that it was indeed Chen Mo, she suddenly woke up and tried to get up.

Chen Mo didn't know that she was just having menstruation and was feeling uncomfortable. He thought she was sick. Seeing that she was uncomfortable, he personally held his hands on the woman's shoulders and whispered, "Slow down."

Ning Wan is Liang Song's successor. She is young, has tight skin, and a plump figure. Her shoulders are different from the Xia sisters' skinny texture, and there is also a sense of fleshiness. The moment her fingertips touch her skin, there is a hint of elasticity. , a faint orchid fragrance floats on the nose, making people unable to help but desire to possess it.

Ning Wan didn't wear much because she was resting just now. The two waxing moons looked like the white jade plate described in the poem.

Except for her father who hugged her when she was a child and Liang Song who touched her after they got married, her body had never been touched by another man. Looking at the figure so close at hand, Ning Wan felt embarrassed and angry, but she was helping. I couldn't say the words of rebuke easily, so I said "thank you" instead.

"Are you sick? I'll go find the doctor and take a look." Seeing that Ning Wan didn't answer his words, Chen Mo said.

Ning Wan shook her head, and when Chen Mo asked again, she could only blush and said, "I'm having my period."

After saying that, I felt ashamed and annoyed in my heart.

Chen Mo also felt a little embarrassed, let go of Ning Wan, turned around and poured Ning Wan a cup of tea, heated the tea with his innate spiritual energy, and handed it to Ning Wan: "Be careful of scalding."

Hearing this, Ning Wan was in a trance, a little flattered, because she had not enjoyed the care of others for several months, and she was used to having servants bring her tea and water. Now Chen Mo was taking care of her, and she felt strange in her heart. a feeling of.

She held the tea cup and took a sip, then looked up at Chen Mo: "Master Hou, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chen Mo handed the letter from King Huai to Ning Wan and said warmly: "This is from Huaizhou."

Seeing that Chen Mo's expression was not right, Ning Wan was stunned for a moment, then freed up a hand to take the letter. Chen Mo took the teacup in Ning Wan's hand and put it aside so that she could see it better.

After reading it, Ning Wan felt as if her soul had been taken away. Her already pale face became even paler. She looked like a willow swaying in the wind by the river. She murmured: "Sure enough, it's really so."

Ning Yuan is a smart person, so she certainly understands the meaning of the letter.

She had thought about this outcome since Liang Song left, but when she finally got to this point, Ning Yuan's heart still hurt, and she even found it difficult to breathe.

Her eyes were red and tears quickly filled them.

For the benefit of the family, she married a man who was old enough to be her father. She finally adapted and developed feelings for Liang Song. However, in the end, she was abandoned first by Liang Song and now by the Ning family.

Although she didn't write that the Ning family had abandoned her, she could tell that if Prince Huai had not communicated with the Ning family, he would definitely not have written like this. This would be tantamount to offending the Ning family for no reason. After all, Prince Huai and the Ning family had no enmity. , don’t do this.

But now that it is written like this, it means that it is the intention of the Ning family.

She was like a chess piece, abandoned when it was no longer useful.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, across her cheeks, and fell onto the letter paper. This feeling of being abandoned by the world made her lose the meaning of living.

She looked up at Chen Mo: "So are you here to take action now?"

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Mo to speak, he added: "If possible, give me a glass of poisonous wine that will take effect quickly. I'm afraid of pain, so it will be more comfortable to walk this way."

Ning Wan forced out a pale smile, and tears flowed into her mouth. But Chen Mo handed her a handkerchief: "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have come in person."

Ning Wan: "???"

"I passed away in April, and now my existence in the world is a hindrance, isn't it?"

"That's just an excuse to deceive everyone in the world. The only person who dies is Ning Yuan. It doesn't mean that you are really going to die."

Chen Mo shook his handkerchief: "Wipe your tears. From today on, Ning Yuan is dead. You are just a person with the same surname as her."

Ning Wan looked at Chen Mo blankly. He understood what the other party meant, and then subconsciously asked a stupid question: "Then how do you deal with Prince Huai?"

"A business trip?"

Chen Mo sneered: "I'm not a subordinate of King Huai, so why should I deal with him? Besides, he didn't directly ask me to kill you. If I said to kill you, would he still want me to hand over your body?" Can’t you let him check it?”

Ning Wan's delicate body trembled, and she felt a sense of security in her heart. She said: "Then this will bring trouble to you, and I am no longer Xue'er's aunt. You, you have to help me like this."

Ning Wan lowered her head, thinking about the burning eyes that Chen Mo had peeked at her several times before, and suddenly felt a little flustered.

"It's not a trouble, it's just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Besides, I promised Xue'er to take care of you. How can I break my promise? Just take it." Chen Mo said.

Ning Wan was not an innocent little girl, so how could she believe what Chen Mo said.

If Liang Xue and Chen Mo were childhood sweethearts, she would have believed him, but Liang Xue had only been following him for a long time, and he was a captured trophy, so how deep his feelings could be.

But Ning Wan was already used to pretending to be ignorant. She took the handkerchief and wiped her tears while saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis. Please forgive me for not being able to salute you at this time."

"It's okay." Chen Mo waved his hand and said immediately: "Okay, I'm mainly here to tell you about this. I hope you don't think too much about it. Life is still long. You can live here with peace of mind in the future. As long as I am here, no one will Bullying you."

Hearing this, Ning Wan's heart was shocked, but it was just a shock. She no longer believed in any verbal promises.

After all, she was not related to him, so why should he take care of her.

It is true that she believed this, but the couple can still divorce. If the young couple quarrels and gets into trouble one day, who will care about her, an outsider.

Unless you have a relationship with him.

She understood that the other party must be interested in her body, otherwise he wouldn't have peeked at her several times.

But these were her conjectures after all. The other party didn't say it directly or take action. Naturally, it was impossible for her to say that she wanted to devote herself to something. Then what had become of her?

And that's too despicable. No matter how you say it, she is still a lady.

Moreover, if the guess is wrong, what will others think?

She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Marquis."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I see you are feeling quite uncomfortable. I will find a servant to take care of you later."

Ning Yuan did not refuse.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he left.

After Chen Mo left, Ning Wan hugged her knees and cried bitterly again. This incident had a huge impact on her.

In the corridor, when Chen Mo passed by, Xia Zhining suddenly walked out from behind the pillar with her arms crossed, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "How does Aunt Ning taste?"

Chen Mo's face darkened: "You're a woman, what kind of things do you put in your head every day?"

Xia Zhining sneered: "Pretend, you stayed in her room for more than a quarter of an hour. If you were talking about something, how long would it take?"

Chen Mo's head was full of black lines: "For a quarter of an hour, who do you look down on?"

"Even if you didn't do that, I don't believe you didn't take advantage of her. I know you have been thinking about her for a long time, and now you finally took action."

"..."

Seeing that Xia Zhining had already determined this, Chen Mo didn't bother to explain and went to see the judge.

This person's name is Ling Li, a native of Jiaping County, Yuzhou.

At the age of 23, he passed the scholar examination and at the age of 27, he passed the imperial examination.

Later, he went to Beijing to take the exam, but kept failing. However, he was unwilling to accept it and failed repeatedly. The Ling family was quite wealthy. In order to pass the Jinshi exam, he lived in the capital directly in the third year of Xuanhe.

But when the imperial examination was suspended, he failed to do so.

But he was also afraid of being laughed at by his fellow villagers and tribesmen when he returned home. If Xu Guozhong hadn't moved the capital and King Qin's army came, causing chaos in Tianchuan, he might not have come back.
