After lying in bed, when she was about to tell him the matter tactfully, she saw that he turned off the light with a cold face and closed his eyes. He was surprisingly calm. Although he knew that he was probably a little angry, Zhong Li also She didn't go to coax him, when the monk hit the clock one day, she didn't bother to waste her time on extra things.

She also closed her eyes, and after a while there was steady breathing.

Pei Xing naturally didn't fall asleep. Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, she pinched her nose with a cheap hand. Zhong Li shook her head, turned over, got rid of his hand, and changed from lying flat to facing back. follow him.

To be honest, it was the first time that Pei Xing went to bed this early. He wanted to wake her up. Thinking that she was assassinated today, he might have panicked. on the eyes.

After he fell asleep, Zhong Li was quietly relieved.

The bright moon hangs high, the horizon is dyed with silver light, a few small stars, hidden in the dark night, are not dazzling, under the clear and cold night, Zhenbei Hou's mansion gradually quiets down, only Meiyuan is still brightly lit. .

Gu Zhiqing learned the rules for a day, and it wasn't until she finished bathing that she heard the maid say that Zhong Li was attacked by an assassin, she was a little excited, and her voice was full of joy, "It seems that she is not the only one who finds her an eyesore, what about me? Are you hurt?"

Gu Zhiqing has been learning the rules recently, and every day is miserable. The second wife has made up her mind to control her. She really has no time for herself. After studying in one day, she just wants to fall asleep at night. thing.

Some time ago, she hated Zhong Li very much, and she also had the idea of ​​sex, but unfortunately, hiring an assassin requires a lot of money, her monthly silver is only 12 taels, and she is not someone who can save money, but if there is a little bit of money. All the money was used to buy beautiful jewelry, and naturally there was no extra money to spend on Zhong Li.

At this moment, when she heard that Zhong Li had met an assassin, she was very gloating, wishing she could lose her life.

Gu Zhiqing had been tired all day and her legs were sore. After asking, she lay lazily on the bed.

Ming Xing replied: "Listen to the guard, he was not injured, just frightened."

Gu Zhiqing curled her lips, "She has a great fate."

There were two candles burning in the room. Seeing her getting into bed, Ming Xing extinguished one, and then said: "I heard that she has a lot of guards around her, and she even captured the assassin alive. I don't know if I can find the buyer behind her. Didn't touch her."

Gu Zhiqing sneered and said, "She is smart, and she even secretly trains guards."

Ming Xing didn't answer this question, and persuaded: "Master has been tired all day, rest early, there is really no need to take her seriously, I heard that the Zheng family intends to let Li Mingran marry her. She will never miss her again, the girl just needs to be more patient."

Although Gu Zhiqing didn't look down on Li Mingran, she also knew that his talent and family background were good, she couldn't help but feel a little sour.

She was a little resentful, but felt that the man really looked at his face! However, if Zhong Li could decide on a marriage earlier, it would be a good thing for him.

Ming Xing was right. At that time, Lu Yanrui would not be able to think about her anymore. Thinking of Lu Yanrui, Gu Zhiqing couldn't help biting her lip. She was suddenly very discouraged. , and her mother, who did not agree with her marrying Lu Yanrui at all.

Gu Zhiqing was very upset and didn't know when this rule would be learned. "Mother is too."

If she doesn't need to learn the rules, she can always find an excuse to leave the house, maybe it has already changed Lu Yanrui's view of her.

Ming Xing knew her best, and seeing her expression, she hurriedly said with relief: "Master, you should study hard for a while, and then you can just ask your wife for another day. The wife loves you the most, and she can't keep you from leaving the house. "

After being persuaded by her, Gu Zhiqing's depression in her heart dissipated a little. She thought about it and felt that she couldn't wait to die any longer, so she simply ordered: "You quietly assassinate Zhong Li and tell Li Mingqian's maid."

Zhong Li was thinking about things in her heart, and she didn't sleep well at night. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she realized that she was being embraced by Pei Xing.

Not only did she rest on his arms, but her cheeks were also on his chest. Zhong Li was stunned for a long time with such an intimate gesture.

She couldn't help but move a bit, trying to get a little further away, but who would have expected him to wrap her arms around her waist in the next moment, afraid of waking him up, Zhong Li didn't dare to move any more.

This night, she didn't sleep well. When the sky was dawn, she squinted again. When she was completely awake, Pei Xing had already left.

Seeing that she was a little drowsy, Qiuyue said: "Master, why don't you take a rest, the old lady's place, the slaves can send someone to talk."

Zhong Li shook his head, "No need."

After cleaning up, she went to Yangxintang. For two days in a row, she didn't rest well. The dark circles under her eyes were heavier than yesterday. Zhong Li didn't wear makeup, and she deliberately wore a plain white brocade dress. Looking extremely haggard.

The old lady was lying on the couch with her eyes closed, and when she learned that she was coming, she hurriedly asked the maid to welcome her in.

The girl's brows were dyed with clear sorrow, her palm-sized face was bloodless, and she was holding it with pity.

The old lady was a little distressed, and quickly patted the position beside her, "I was just shocked yesterday, why did I run over again? Didn't Xiaomei tell you, I don't have to come to greet you recently? You."

The old lady said, reaching out and poking her forehead.

Zhong Li smiled, "I'm not afraid that you are worried. The state was really bad yesterday, and I didn't dare to come to see you, so I just came today."

Seeing her so sensible, the old lady felt more and more distressed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this girl was not easy, so she couldn't help clapping her hand.

Zhong Li is naturally happy to see it happen. If the old lady loves her, it will be convenient for her to act in the future. In fact, she even thought about whether she should be really hurt or not. Discarded this idea.

After worrying about leaving, the old lady couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you still have a lot of guards. Fortunately, they are there to protect you. When did you buy these guards?"
