And at this moment, Aningshu was carried by Jiang Peilin to the window.

not very soon.
but not very fast.
My yard door is locked well, so this person probably didn’t come in through the front door. Then it’s not good…
Ning Shu just wanted to hate and find a place to hide. I thought, why is this person here at my courtyard so late?
The latter was startled by my action and instinctively dodged.
Then Jiang Peilin allowed himself to be taken into the carriage.
And Zhou Ziqi, who had been listening from the corner of the wall, heard the voices of the two people. He could only quickly climb up the wall from the side and return to his own yard.
Ning Shu’s heart sank slightly. I’m not a fool. Hearing Zhou Ziqi’s words, I already guessed…
Since Jiang Peilin asked me to go back, I will go back.
It’s not just a matter of Chunxi thanking Zhou Ziqi for his words.
But not letting go, Jiang Peilin grasped my hand, his eyes gazing at me.
I walked over, and Chunxi quickly lifted the curtain and said to me, “Master Ning, please get in the carriage.”
Zhou Ziqi is just naive and only understands superficially. It seems like his cousin isn’t trying to help me, but rather just deceiving me. No wonder Ning Shu always looks nervously agitated whenever Jiang Peilin asks her something.
“If we hadn’t gone up to meet me, we would have let this carriage pass us by tonight.”
I walked over and found no fingerprints on the wall. It probably wasn’t left by someone who was careful to avoid leaving any behind.
Ning Shu hadn’t expected to return to the capital city again.
Ning Shu widened her eyes even more, and I quickly hugged her by the neck. She gasped, “What are you doing? Let me up!”
Ning Shu quickly stood up, her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and in the end I shook my head.
Ning Shu’s heart skipped a beat, but she wasn’t flustered. She spoke, “Zhou ge, why are you doing this?”
…it’s getting pretty serious….
The other party held me tightly in their arms, like a jade falling onto a plate. Their voice, soft as silk, echoed in my ears: “It’s not about looking outside at all, little cat. Let me hold you and show you something.”
I gritted my teeth and thought, Zhou Ziqi probably doesn’t care about my face, that’s why he didn’t expose me directly.
Ning Shu’s eyes were misty and blurry. Her fingers gripped Jiang Pei Lin tightly. Hearing the noise outside, she suddenly widened her eyes and sat up: “What…what sound?”
……
It would be best if Jiang Peilin knew.
I looked down at Zhou Ziqi slightly condescendingly, as if I was about to dig out all the filth in my heart.
…Really? Isn’t it?…
Ning Shu’s face was pale, and her whole demeanor seemed off. I lowered my eyes and stared at her for a long while, then forced myself to calm down.
Cool and aloof, such a temperament only invites more attention.
Zhou Ziqi got into the carriage.
Moreover, even if Jiang Peilin wasn’t from a prominent family in the capital, he didn’t seem like an extraordinary individual either.
Ning Shu thought, I’ll just wait for Jiang Pei Lin to get tired of me. Besides, the mistress always allows me to remain unmarried my whole life. I felt a sense of clarity and determination rising within me.
< ??
Zhou ZIqi looked at me: “Ning brother…”
Jiang Peilin ignored me and didn’t get on the carriage.
Ning Shu was dazed, her mind filled with thoughts of being exposed and the fact that the person who discovered their relationship wasn’t just anyone.
Zhou Ziqi’s face flushed red then pale, bearing down and gritting his teeth in a low voice: “So it wasn’t us after all? I thought… my father’s side… it was all us who did this!”
Before the man could speak, Zhou Ziqi clenched her teeth and continued, “…If I hadn’t been forced, I wouldn’t have dared. This wouldn’t be the capital city, nor would it be Yangzhou.”
I was so moved that I wanted to grab Ning Shu’s hand.
Zhou Ziqi was also stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: “Brother Ning… I’m just concerned about…”
……
Ning Shu took a deep breath and looked outside. There wasn’t even a shadow, and listening carefully, she thought that what just happened might have just been our hallucination.
“I… I just let my voice tremble and say, “Jiang Pei Lin, let’s go out and take a look.” ”
Jiang Peilin spoke, but he didn’t pick me up whole.
“Could it be that I’ve misunderstood? If it’s not a misunderstanding, then why did you come in at midnight? A thief would have done the same thing.”
Zhou Ziqi’s face flushed, and instead of retreating, he took a step forward.
Ning Shu got into the car, Jiang Pei Lin sat back to make room, those phoenix eyes looked over. Such a handsome face, it was extraordinary. Too beautiful, like a jade tree among orchids.
Ning Shu listened to me calling her name outside. After all, it wasn’t months of getting along. I let it slide this time.
It’s not that I don’t understand why the other party would climb into my yard in the middle of the night.
“Last wasn’t it Ning Shu who spoke first: “Zhou brother, I knew you wouldn’t have anything to do with me.”
Zhou Ziqi stared at me intently, which made Ning Shu feel increasingly uneasy. Finally, she spoke in a hesitant voice: “It’s just a guess of mine, Ning brother. We’re friends, aren’t we? There shouldn’t be anything we can’t say to each other. If you need help with something, just speak up. I promise I’ll do my best.”
Ning Shu remained silent for a moment, then simply said, “I’ve kept my promises in the past.”
Ning Shu knew that now, she was only suitable for being friends with Zhou Ziqi again.
Ning Shu, who had been lucky enough to avoid being broken, was secretly given a letter by Zhou Ziqi, asking me to meet someone.
I gritted my teeth and held back, stopping the carriage. I said to Jiang Pei Lin in a cold tone, “I have nothing to say to Brother Ning.”
Zhou Ziqi poured me tea, and we sat in silence for a while.
Zhou Ziqi was stunned. I never expected that Jiang Peilin would confront me like this. I held back a sarcastic remark and said, “In the capital city, there has never been a man who married another man as his wife. This is definitely not a normal situation. Why else would I be in Yangzhou?”
Ning Shu sat down.
However, Ning Shu didn’t see through the true face behind this facade. Jiang Peilin wasn’t some upright and honorable gentleman at all. He was full of ulterior motives and wicked schemes. When he calculated and plotted against someone, he was the most terrifying and deviant.
But it wasn’t Jiang Peilin who lowered his head, instead his voice grew even more hoarse. He held onto my waist and kissed me.
Last night, the person outside my courtyard wasn’t Zhou Ziqi. My face flushed with shame and embarrassment.
Ning Shu shifted her gaze to the next courtyard. Besides Jiang Peilin, no one else lived there, which was self-explanatory.
“Why?” Another person chimed in, “The county princess is a jewel, gentle and noble. Why would this top scholar even want to marry her?”
That’s just the way it is.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and said to me, “Zhou brother, I’m leaving first.”
Ning Shu’s heart settled more and more, and I also knew why she was at ease. It wasn’t because of shame or guilt in her heart, I bit my lip.
Are we not supposed to be in this kind of relationship?
Ning Shu’s whole mind was in a mess, I took a deep breath and spoke. My face flushed red, embarrassed and ashamed, my complexion paled then turned blue again.
