Not long later, Lan Li came back with a smile on her face and a plate of bright red apples in her hands.

She pursed her lips and smiled at me, then got on the brick bed and opened the top drawer of the cabinet. She then took out the small silver knife that I usually wear and sat down on the corner of the brick bed to pick up an apple. "This servant will bring the apple to the old lady, but I heard that Sister Hong Chang only told the old lady that you ate there.

I took the triangular-cut apple in her hand and slowly chewed it. "Just because you don't want to say anything doesn't mean that you won't say anything about it in the future. You should pay more attention to this!"

Lan Lingyun replied with a smile, but she still focused on peeling the apple.

In the evening, we sat together to discuss tomorrow's arrangements. It was still decided that I would go to the shop with Lu Kou and Song Ma. Lan Li would stay at home to take care of the internal and external affairs, and only do what we had previously decided.

"Tomorrow is the festival, Miss, you still want to go to the shop to check the accounts?"

Mother Song was a little surprised that I insisted on going to the shop during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Thinking about the few questions that were secretly written on my note and were still tucked into my undergarment, I sighed lightly. I didn't dare to do this kind of thing to others, and could only be at ease if I personally hand it over to Shopkeeper Xiao.

The next day, he still got up early. He wore a dark flowery jacket with a yellow pair of pearls and a lute sleeves and a green pleated skirt. A large red halibut bag was hung at his waist, serving his grandmother's breakfast while he sat in his grandmother's car and went to his shop on the East Main Street.

After a few days of busy work, I was a bit tired. I actually fell asleep while leaning on Mother Song's body. Fortunately, he had a bun when he woke up in the morning. A pair of oriental pearl pendants hung with tinkling sounds from a pair of golden hairpins. The entire headdress looked quite neat and tidy.

It was the same back alley that led into the backyard that was located in front of the two-story building. Shopkeeper Sun had already brought a bunch of servants to wait in the courtyard. While he helped me get off the car, he said with a smile, "We were still thinking that it's the festival and the weather isn't too good. Miss, you might not be able to come back.

The second son of the Zhou family is the younger brother of Zhou Baumu. Now that he is fourteen years old and is supposed to be an apprentice in the shop, since his brother followed me, I asked him to come over and pass some useless words to him.

"It's not that the weather is bad!" I smiled and promised my wife, "I don't know if I'll be able to see the moon tonight."

The custom of Mid-Autumn Festival is to celebrate the moon with your family.

By the time Shopkeeper Xiao, who was separated by a veil, handed me the note in my sleeve, the dark clouds had dispersed. It was already bright outside.

I couldn't help but smile. It seems that tonight's Moon-Viewing Banquet will be extremely lively again!

Shopkeeper Xiao, who had been standing in front of me with his head down, suddenly rushed to the window and leaned against it. He looked around nervously.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Manager Xiao still carefully put down the window.

Maybe he heard something?

"Miss, why did you send a gift to Miss Xue?" "If it's just to befriend them, that would be too … Just sending them back would already cost 2000 taels!"

This was way too expensive!

But a young miss from an aristocratic family with outstanding looks like Miss Xue, what was two thousand taels worth?

"Here!" Of course we have to send him off! "

"But …"

Shopkeeper Xiao still wanted to advise me.

"Sir, have you forgotten that the young master promised to give the entire shop to me after the matter was completed?"

I used my hand to tap on the table, making a clear sound of "Knock Knock Knock".

Through the pink veil of the cigarette, I saw that Shopkeeper Xiao had a strange expression on his face. Strange, sarcastic, contemptuous, and even a little bit hesitant …

What was it that made such a middle-aged man in his fifties look at me like that?

Perhaps because he felt that it was rude to do so, or perhaps because he was tired of being so speechless with me, Manager Xiao said in a deep voice, "I will follow Miss's instructions." He then silently stood up and left.

When there were no more footsteps at the end of the corridor, I also stroked the fabric of my dress, which had become wrinkled from sitting there for a long time.

Suddenly the window opened, revealing a narrow gap, and a gust of wind blew into the pale pink petals, lifting them up and down in the bright light, with an unreal beauty on the intricate carpet in front of me.

It was already autumn, where did such delicate petals come from?

I lifted the curtain and slowly walked over and picked up a petal from the floor.

The tentacles were cut from the cloud that came from Chuan Shu.

Just like the arm I wore to visit the Jiang Mansion yesterday, it was made of cloud brocade, thin and smooth, with a hint of elegance in it. The flower petal in my hand was made of a lighter, more flexible material. Naturally, it was also much more precious.

Who would use such expensive cloth to cut the petals?

The petals poured down from the window, becoming smaller and smaller in the distance. It was obvious that someone had deliberately blown in from the outside. However, this was the second floor and there was nothing to cling to outside. How could that person accurately send such a light and small thing into such a small crack?

I walked to the window and checked carefully. There didn't seem to be anyone outside. In order to examine it closely, one had to open the window.

I had just turned the catch on the latch window when a great force came upon me, and I could not help taking a few steps back. Before I could react, my vision went white, and I was in an embrace.

There was a "thump thump" sound of his heart beating in his ears.

What was going on?

Behind me, my chest was trembling slowly. Then, a clear laughter that belonged to a teenager, first one of its arms wrapped around my shoulders, then it turned into a hug.

A wave of heat slowly moved down from the top of my head and brushed past my ear, leaving a warm and sticky sensation on my earlobe. Then, all of a sudden, my earring was struck open, and a slightly sharp, warm, heavy object fell into the pit of my neck.

I was trembling all over, my hands and feet were weak.

The young man behind her let out a low laugh, "Miss Yang is indeed different. If it were anyone else, they would have already scolded me loudly, but Miss Yang seemed to enjoy it a lot. Sigh! I always thought that I was a single person, but I didn't think that the two of us would actually be in love! "

As if it was a Buddhist rune, it hit my spiritual altar and woke up in a split-second.

I didn't pull away.

"Young Master Jiang is right." I smiled. "I really do like being carried by a man."

The body of the person behind me stiffened rapidly, but I didn't let go as I had expected. Instead, the body's strength increased as it locked me deeper into his embrace.

"Miss Yang, you must be joking!" It's not easy for me to find a chance to get intimate with you, even if you don't come out and don't go through any doors at all. You started daydreaming when you missed me too much! "

Although he was stubborn, he could still hear the uncertainty in his words.

If he knew that I had not only hugged another man so intimately, but that I was even pregnant with that man's child, would he still be so persistent?

For some baffling reason, bitterness overflowed in his heart.

Actually, no matter if it's my previous life or this life, I've always yearned for a relationship. The difference is, in my previous life, I did not know how to deal with people, so I chose to elope with him. In this life, I had suffered through many hardships and would rather live alone than suffer from the pain of missing each other.

If the person I met in my previous life was this young man in front of me, how great would that be?

A blessed marriage, a couple who adored each other, how could I have fallen to such a state of calculation and treason?

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as' if … '

A warm breath blew over from my face. The breath of mint inside made me flinch, but Jiang Ming took the opportunity to hug me tighter.

"What are you thinking?"

I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart.

When wasn't it good to be in a daze? It just had to be at this moment!

Although the child in front of him was mischievous, stubborn and somewhat domineering, he was not a bad person. Wouldn't I be harming him if I go on like this?

"When are you going to let go?"

Even I felt that my tone was so cold that it was unkind.

"Wait till I've hugged enough!"

However, the people behind didn't seem to care about my bad attitude at all. They even laughed to the point of being rogue.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll scream?"

Suddenly, a strand of black hair fell in front of him. With a warm spot between his eyebrows, he left like a dragonfly touching the water.

"If you call me that, I'll take you home!"

I was angry for a moment.

His right shoulder was empty, but his forehead was burning. The young man's palm wasn't delicate. There was a callus on his thumb that had been sharpened by holding a sword all year round. There was a slight stabbing pain between my eyebrows.

"Don't frown, it will grow more wrinkles over time!"

You don't care if I'm wrinkled or not!

He seemed to sense my thoughts at once, and laughed as he tucked my hair back behind my ears.

"Of course I do! "If you had so many wrinkles, our son would be born and see you and mistake you for his grandmother!"

Despite my anger, I couldn't help but smile when I heard his nonsense.

He grabbed the fleeting smile on my face and continued to whisper into my ear while blowing. "Look, that's what I'm looking at!"

"Miss!" Suddenly, Lu Kui's voice came from outside the door, "When are we preparing to go back?"

It must be because I saw that Shopkeeper Xiao had already left, but I stayed in my room the whole time. I was a little suspicious.

I rolled my eyes at young master Jiang and said softly, "Have you had enough trouble? If it's enough, then let go! I still want to go home! "

Jiang Ming suddenly exerted some force in his hand and used one hand to cover my mouth while the other hand turned me around and tightly pressed me against his chest.

I could clearly feel the rise and fall of his chest against my cheek, and I could see the adam's apple sliding up and down in the middle of his jade-white neck.

"How can it be enough to be with you?"

Because of his stooping, we moved a little distance away, but his breath of hot air all over my face.

Like a fever, the heat gathered in my ears and spread to my face.

Suddenly, I felt extremely embarrassed!

Even in my previous life and in this life, I was more than enough to be his mother. However, being hugged by someone caused my heart to beat like a drum. I couldn't help but blush shyly.

The reason why I was able to be embraced by him and not struggle free was only because I knew that I wouldn't be moved. However, at this moment, I could clearly feel my heart throbbing, so I definitely wouldn't put him and me in danger.

However, after struggling for a while or two, he was still held tightly in his arms. As if pleased by my defiance, the boy laughed and held me closer to his heart, holding my left hand in his.

I gave him a quick "let go" of my mouth and glanced toward the door.

He lowered his head and smiled slowly. His unblemished face was like an orchid that had just bloomed. He mischievously gestured at me with a "silence" gesture and laughed as he raised his voice:

"I'm feeling a little dizzy, you can go down first!"

My heart leaped in my throat and I could only stare at him, unable to speak.

The voice, the tone, was exactly the same as mine.

This person could actually imitate sound!

"Miss, do you want this servant to come in and serve you?" Even the little girl who usually serves me closely could not tell that the person I was talking to was not her master.

My fingers were resting on his pulse, and a strong pulse was not at its normal speed.

Obviously, he wasn't completely confident about his own adventure.

If he didn't run now, then when?

He lifted his foot and stomped hard. Then, he lifted his knee, and the strength in his arm was immediately reduced by quite a bit. I hastily tried to break away from him and instantly distanced myself from him.

Just a little bit more!

Only my left hand was still in his, and with a single tug of his hand, I fell back into the embrace.

The youth felt a lump of softness on my chest that was slightly protruding out. His body trembled and his face flushed red. Even the veins on his forehead were popping out.

I pouted my lips helplessly, as I felt as though I was about to steal a chicken until it fails.

He stared at me with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"No need, I've already changed my clothes!"

It was probably because of the incident just now that caused his breath to be in disorder, and his voice slightly revealed the low alcohol tone of the man.

There was no response from the Green Bandits outside, so perhaps they could tell that something was amiss.

A little hope rose in my heart.

If it was just the Green Bull coming in, it might still be within the limits of what could be solved, and I could get away with it.

The moment I opened my mouth, I didn't even have the time to say a single word before I was suddenly covered by the person in front of me.

The originally handsome young man's face had two red clouds, a pair of eyes that were like stars, and a bright light that could intimidate people. Yan Li's rosy lips were pursed into a curve, and if our posture wasn't so ambiguous and so close, I would have thought that he was a shy boy.

He grabbed my head from the back of my head and covered my mouth. He slowly approached my ear and whispered, "You better not speak. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold myself back!"

Unable to hold it in?

Unable to resist what?
