【Extra Four·Previous Life】

The winter of the 23rd year of Cheng'an.

Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Martial Arts Hall.

"Mr. Marquis, have you misunderstood me? If Marquis and sister have a rift because of me, I will be very responsible for my death."

Cao Wanning tucked the clear tears that shed at the corner of her eyes with a silk slit, sobbing, "I have made some special snacks and I plan to deliver them to my sister later, so I can apologize to her. I think it's probably because I got into trouble with my sister on weekdays... As long as she can forgive me, I will do whatever I do."

After Cao Wanning finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at the man behind the desk. She was covered in rain at this time, and I felt pity for her. Even a man would be aroused to be pity.

But except for Xiao Rang.

This is the first time she has entered this martial arts hall in two months since she was married to the Marquis’ Mansion.

The martial arts hall is where Xiao Rang handles government affairs. It is usually very strict and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering. Cao Wanning came to Xiao Rang on excuses several times, but was stopped outside.

However, all these rules have broken the example for Suo Chun Curie's "good sister".

This month alone, Gu Xiyan didn't know how many times he had been to the martial arts hall and quarreled with Xiao Rang, but Xiao Rang didn't even stop him.

Cao Wanning pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand and thought to herself, she was such a brainless person.

I used to say a few words and tears to deceive Gu's trust and wanted to be Lao Shizi's true sisters with her.

Now Gu and Xiao Rang are in such a situation again - of course, her provocation and disagreement are naturally indispensable.

There can only be one mistress in the house, and sooner or later, the butler's key pair will belong to her Cao Wanning.

It's just a matter of time.

Cao Wanning knelt on the ground for a while, then the man in front raised his head to raise his head from the government affairs, his handsome face frowned slightly, and said indifferently, "You go out first."

Cao Wanning bit her lips and tears, "Then... sister..."

"Who is your sister?"

The man suddenly spoke, his eyes shooting like a sharp sword, "As a mere concubine, you should be called the mistress."

Cao Wanning was so stingless by this sharp gaze that she shivered and hurriedly said, "It's because I have lost my etiquette. The Marquis atone for my sins! The Marquis atone for my sins!"

A few months ago, she married into the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion with the ceremony of pleading wife. At first she was very content and thought she could really be on par with Gu Xiyan, but the fact slapped her hard in the face.

I just stayed alone on my wedding night. Even the daily food, clothing and food are given according to the concubine's rules.

What is this?

Is it true or not?

Cao Wanning has been dissatisfied with this for a long time, but all of this was Xiao Rang's decision, so she could only dare not speak out.

Xiao Rang looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, his handsome face was gloomy and his deep eyes were dark.

Since Cao Wanning entered the door, the conflict between him and her has not diminished but increased.

The wife is on the side, and she, the mistress, looks jealous at all, and she doesn't leave any hope for him.

She never cared about it, didn't care about his marriage, or where his heart was.

She is always cold and disdainful, and never looks at him.

Perhaps, in anger, he agreed to Cao Wanning's entry, which was a completely wrong decision from the beginning.

Xiao Rang's expression was faint, and there seemed to be a fog in his eyes, which was bottomless.

Since Cao Wanning married into the Marquis' Mansion with his aunt, the Cao family in Qingzhou has been roaming around under the banner of the Marquis' Mansion of Pingyang, as if they didn't know what their surname was.

The officials who wanted to curry favor with the Pingyang Marquis Mansion but were unable to get involved found the Cao family's shortcut. Cao Yongji even made it to the second level of the marriage to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion by this gate.

It was not that Xiao Rang didn't know these things, but he felt that the clown couldn't get on the table, so he let them go.

Now it seems that these things are too ignorant, and if you indulge them, you will probably cause a disaster.

Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed across the man's face, and his fingers with distinct joints tapped the table twice, "Don't get out yet."

The scolding was full of uncovered disgust. Cao Wanning wiped her tears and responded in a very innocent and pitiful way, "I will follow my order, and I will leave now."

After the martial arts hall was quiet, Xiao Rang held his forehead with his hands and was silent for a long time before he asked, "What are the mistress doing these days?"

Liuyun replied in the next chapter, “It’s as usual.

The mistress occasionally went out to visit the powder jewelry shop, or participated in some poetry gatherings.

A few days ago, someone came to Gu's house and said that the two elders of the Gu family asked their mistress to go home and stay for a few days... they were rejected by the mistress."

Xiao Rang said, "I understand."

She had a quarrel with her family, and after all, it was because she was unwilling to marry him.

After all, he felt guilty.

After the two got married, Xiao Rang discovered that the person he married had changed.

The beautiful man on the polo field who was bright and charming and staring at him with a soft voice was like a dream, and his legitimate wife Gu would only face him coldly, quarrel every day, and be determined to be a strange couple with him.

Xiao Rang is not a good-tempered person, so it turns out that the two of them lived in the branch less than half a year after they got married, and it is rare to see each other a few times a month.

Xiao Rang closed his eyes and said, "I counted the supplements that the emperor's grandmother gave last time, and ordered people to send them to Gu's mansion."

Liuyun took his life and was about to turn around and retreat, he added, "Send it here in the name of his mistress."

"yes."

...

Twenty-five years of Cheng'an.

It was raining heavily.

Xiao Rang stood under the corridor with his hands behind his back, raised his jaw slightly, and looked at the rainy sky.

"Mr. Binghou, those storytelling teahouses have been sealed, and several tabloids in the market have also been banned on the charge of "making rumors."

After Liuyun reported the report, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xiao Rang's expression.

Ten days ago, Shi Jingyuan, a guest of Gu's family, was drunk at the Chunfeng Moon Tower and told her about a romantic story as a topic of conversation after drinking.

The speaker is unintentional, listens to intentional.

What's more, the heroine of this old and romantic period is actually Gu Xiyan, the daughter of the dignified Marquis of Pingyang and the minister of the current dynasty Gu Wanqian.

The people in the capital always had a sense of watching the excitement of the wealthy families. Rumors quickly spread throughout Shengjing, and naturally they also reached Xiao Rang's ears.

That day, this was the first time Liuyun saw Xiao Rang so angry.

But even though he was extremely angry, there was still a faint hope in his heart. He sent someone to go to Shuochun Curie to search for it. If there was no physical evidence, he would give himself a reason to forgive her.

But he didn't meet his wish.

Those letters and a jade hairpin were placed in front of him, proclaiming the fact that she colluded with others.

Then there was a surging anger - it turned out that she had never loved him because she had someone else in her heart.

Liuyun looked up at Xiao Rang's expression and sighed inconspicuously.

It's been four years.

As time goes by, even he thought that his marquis had no feelings for his legitimate wife Gu, but what about the fact?

Xiao Rang had not closed his eyes for several days and nights when he was tortured, all for the sake of the person who was so lucky, Liuyun, who was so beautiful that he felt like a mirror in his heart.

The rain is still falling.

The heavy rain poured onto the eaves of the brackets, like beads with broken lines, blurring the boundary between heaven and earth.

It took me a long time to speak, "Send the order and confine my mistress in the woodshed."

Liuyun responded but did not retreat.

Xiao Rang noticed it and looked back and looked at him indifferently.

Liuyun finally couldn't help but say, "Master, Mr. Gu came to the door yesterday, why didn't he tell the truth?

Now that the city is full of storms, those who don’t know think that my mother is not good to her, but she is…”

The disciple Shi Jingyuan left the Gu Mansion a few months ago and defected to the Wang family. After hearing rumors all over the city, the Gu family sent people to search. The Wang family intended to hide, but they could not find any trace of it.

Yesterday, Gu Xiyan's brother Gu Zhaowen came to the door angrily and wanted to ask Xiao Rang for an explanation.

His sister was well-behaved and coincidental before she left the house. Why did she marry into the Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion and live in a side courtyard? Not only did she even spread such incredible rumors?

!

As a woman, Gu Xiyan had an affair with others, and his evidence was both physical and physical.

But what did Xiao Rang say?

He said that this matter was false, but it was just a rumor-framed by a good person.

Gu Zhaowen was half-believing and half-doubted, but he also knew that his sister and Xiao Rang were separated for many years and suffered a lot of grievances.

Therefore, he said that he would like to represent the two elders of the Gu family and ask for a book and leave for Gu Xiyan.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the three words "Heli Shu", Xiao Rang's face was so terrifying that he said, and he refused to say so.
