The Favored Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(62)

She didn't dare to think too much. Her mind was in a mess at the moment. She didn't know how to explain to her family where she had been during her disappearance. She didn't know whether Brother Zhou saw the person on the horse clearly. He must have told his family that he was kidnapped. How should she explain it when she returned?

The family must be in chaos at this time...

Yao Niang arrived at the door of the Yao family, but she saw silence. She could faintly see lights inside, and the courtyard door was not closed tightly, but half closed.

Yao Niang stretched out her hand to push open the courtyard door. There were lights and voices in the main room. She walked over nervously.

She lifted the bamboo curtain, and the people who were sitting at the table in the main room looked back at her in surprise.

"You are finally back. Shengzi said that you met a maid who worked in the same courtyard as you on the way. You went to her house to get to know her. I was just planning to have dinner and let your brother-in-law look for you." Hui Niang said.

Yao Cheng asked, "Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat."

After hearing her sister's words, Yao Niang subconsciously looked at Zhou Sheng who was sitting next to Li. Their eyes only touched briefly, and then they avoided each other at the same time.

Yao Niang knew that Zhou Sheng must have recognized the person on the horse, and his excuse was to cover up for himself.

"I have eaten, sister. It is because I stayed at someone else's house for dinner that I came back so late." Yao Niang said this because she didn't want to arouse suspicion, but for some reason she thought of what King Jin said before that he would feed her so that she wouldn't be hungry. She, a girl from a decent family, had never heard such dirty talk. She didn't know why at the time, but now she suddenly realized the meaning of it.

Suddenly, the whole person was burning. She didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that someone would see the clues, and hurriedly said, "You eat, I'll go into the house to see the children." After saying that, she hurried away.

"You girl, Xiaobao and Hong Ge'er are both asleep..."

Hui Niang's call didn't stop her.

Yao Niang always felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at her from behind. They were Zhou Sheng's eyes. Those eyes made her subconsciously want to flee.

After returning to the house, it was quiet.

Xiaobao and Hong Ge'er were lying quietly on the small bed, sleeping soundly.

Yao Niang was uncomfortable all over now. It seemed that the previous tremors were still lingering in her bones. There were several places on her body that were burning, not to mention that place.

She went to get a basin, went to the kitchen to get some hot water, and went back to the room to wash. Only after a closer look did she realize that she was really tortured by King Jin. There were finger marks all over her, which was shameful.

Yao Niang did not dare to delay, and hurriedly changed her clothes, and took the water out to pour it out, and finally felt a little more at ease.

This night was destined to be long, and Yao Niang did not close her eyes all night.

Early the next morning, Zhou Sheng left.

He left quietly without telling anyone. Hui Niang was still complaining about why he left so hastily, but Yao Niang knew why Zhou Sheng left without even a meal. Not only him, but she was too embarrassed to face him now.

In fact, Yao Niang knew when Zhou Sheng left, but she hesitated again and again and still didn't go out to see him off. So that's it. She never planned to get married, and this completely extinguished the last spark in her heart.

When Hui Niang told her that she must consider her and Zhou Sheng's affairs, Yao Niang agreed, but she knew in her heart that she and Zhou Sheng would never be together again.

No one dared to mess with the woman of King Jin.

Mini-theater:

King Jin: <（￣︶￣）> I feel cute, cute...

Yao Niang: o（╯□╰）o I feel hollowed out, hollowed out...

Chapter 50

Yao Niang took a total of five days off this time.

It takes two days to go back and forth, which means she can only stay at home for three days.

Yao Niang had been hesitating whether to go back to the Su family, but after thinking about it again and again, she finally didn't go back. She spent all her time and free time helping Hui Niang with housework, taking apart the bedding, washing and drying it, cleaning everywhere inside and outside, and finding many clothes of Xiaobao, Hong Ge'er, and Ming Ge'er, and mending them wherever there were tears.

Xiaobao is growing fast now, and many clothes can't fit him. Thinking that the season will change soon, Yao Niang took out the cloth and wanted to make a few pairs of torn crotch pants for Xiaobao and Hong Ge'er. In this month, infants wear pants the most. They may get dirty at any time, and they have to change several pairs a day.

The cloth has been selected. It is a piece of fine cotton cloth that Mu Mama gave her this time. Yao Niang doesn't know what the name of this cloth is, anyway, she has never seen such good material outside. It's not that the material is so expensive. In fact, it looks like ordinary cotton cloth, but the texture of the cloth is extremely fine and soft. The clothes that the little princess wears are all made of this cloth.

Yao Niang spread the cloth on the table, calculated the size of Xiaobao and Hong Ge'er, and then cut it with scissors. When she was about to cut it, she found that there was no matching thread at home.

The cloth is light blue, but there is no thread of this color in Hui Niang's needle and thread basket. It always feels that using thread of other colors will waste the cloth.

Yao Niang told Hui Niang that she planned to go to the embroidery workshop to buy some embroidery thread. Hui Niang asked her to go early and come back early, and Yao Niang packed the silver and went out.

The nearest embroidery workshop is a little far from Yao's house. Yao Niang walked for a quarter of an hour to get there. When she arrived at the embroidery workshop, she picked the embroidery thread and paid the money. Yao Niang rushed home without much delay.

Halfway through the journey, someone called her.

"Yao Niang!"

Yao Niang looked back and it was Chen An.

Yao Niang was not very familiar with Chen An, and she had only met him a few times. She didn't even know that Chen An had taken a fancy to her until something happened to her.

This is like sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky. Yao Niang used to be somewhat resentful of Chen An. Why did he take a fancy to her when he could take a fancy to anyone else. But this idea was obviously a vent of anger, and over time, this resentment faded.

Seeing this man with a hint of excitement in his eyes looking at her, Yao Niang felt a little complicated. She couldn't pretend that she didn't know him, so she could only remain silent.

"Are you okay?" Chen An looked at Yao Niang with almost greedy eyes, wishing to carve her into his bones.

In fact, Chen An didn't fall in love with Yao Niang after seeing her at Yao's house, but knew her a long time ago. He even went to Yao's house on the pretext of wanting to see Yao Niang.

He had heard from the class leader that he had a virtuous and beautiful aunt, and he also heard that her aunt lived in his house. Inevitably, someone would make fun of this matter, asking the squad leader not to touch the wrong bed and sleep with the younger sister-in-law at night.

But Yao Cheng scolded him without mercy.

Everyone realized that although the squad leader and them were not picky about meat and vegetables on weekdays, this matter could not be used as a joke. Later, when they heard that the squad leader wanted to find a husband for his younger sister-in-law, the men under his command who had not yet married all had the idea.

Chen An was one of them.

Because everyone knew that the squad leader's wife was the daughter of a scholar. At present, the daughter of a scholar is the best candidate for a wife, and Yao Cheng has said more than once that his younger sister-in-law is beautiful and virtuous. A woman with a good family background, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, has a great attraction to any man.

Chen An made an excuse to go to Yao's house. After going there, he came back, but his soul did not come back.

After coming back, he thought about it every day, but he didn't dare to tell the group of people, for fear that they would find out and compete with him. He asked his mother to go to the Yao family to propose marriage, but his mother was unwilling. After asking, he found out that his mother actually planned to match him with his cousin.

If there was no Yao Niang, he would marry his cousin. It doesn't matter who he marries. But with Yao Niang, Chen An looked at her like a fish eye. Chen An racked his brains to make his mother give up this idea, while trying every means to see Yao Niang.

Chen An knew that Yao Yan'er liked him.

That girl was a rude girl who stopped him on the street and stuffed his purse. Chen An didn't accept it. He was a bit bookish and couldn't bear to see a woman so reckless.

But he never thought that Yao Yan'er would actually attack Yao Niang. At that time, Chen An didn't know about it. He only knew that something seemed to have happened in the Yao family, and the squad leader hadn't come to the yamen for many days. He was worried and wanted to find another opportunity to see Yao Niang, so he went to the Yao family.

He couldn't get into the gate of the Yao family, but he saw Yao Yan'er.

Yao Yaner said that Yao Niang was defiled by a bad guy and was no longer a beautiful girl.

Chen An was shocked and didn't believe it. He always felt that Yao Yaner was lying to him. In order to prove it, he found Yao Cheng. Yao Cheng said nothing and pulled him to a corner and beat him up. What else did Chen An not understand?

He was in a daze for many days, and on the other hand, his mother actually arranged a marriage between him and his cousin without his knowledge. The matter was done and it was difficult to regret it. Chen An could only let it go, but he kept thinking of Yao Niang in his heart. Yao Niang became a cinnabar mole in his heart that could not be erased.

Yao Niang naturally didn't know that he had so many mental journeys, but just felt that this man was a little too Meng.

"If it's okay, I have to leave first." Yao Niang didn't answer him, but turned around and wanted to leave, but someone grabbed her hand from behind.

"Are you doing well? Do you know I've been thinking about you!"

"Let go!"

"I won't let go. Actually, Yao Niang, I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I don't care whether you are a virgin or not. I just want to marry you and take care of you for the rest of my life..."

Yao Niang couldn't help it and waved his hand away: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be married."

This news was told to her by her sister. Her sister was very angry and said that Chen An was causing trouble, but she ran away to get married at the last minute. This was obviously a vent of anger, and it was the same feeling as Yao Niang complained about why Chen An chose her. After a while, this feeling faded.

But he obviously had a wife, but he told people that he wanted to marry someone and take care of him for the rest of his life. Yao Niang felt that this kind of person had a lot of problems with his character.

"I did get married, but the person I married was not the one I wanted to marry, but my mother..." At first, she was a little embarrassed to speak, but gradually she became more and more fluent and more and more frank. Chen An looked at Yao Niang with deep affection in his eyes: "If you don't mind me getting married, I am willing to marry you and take care of you and the child for the rest of my life. As for Tian'er, you don't have to care about her."
