Chapter 120 I am a guest at night and a friend during the day
Who is crazy?
Mrs. Hu felt that she was crazy, and her sister was crazy too.
The morning sunlight shone through the curtains onto the bed, and the two sisters' already delicate skin was glowing with a faint halo. Looking at her younger sister's lazy and contented sleeping posture, Mrs. Hu sighed and felt that she must be crazy for doing such a thing with her younger sister.
But the ecstatic feeling in her body had not yet disappeared, and she could not deny her feelings against her will. But it was precisely because of this that Mrs. Hu felt even more uneasy. It would be okay for her, as she was just a widow. Even if there were any rumors, it would only ruin her reputation at most. But her sister was different. She was a member of the palace. Once this matter was exposed, Mrs. Hu could not imagine what would await her sister.
"Sister, wake up, wake up." Mrs. Hu pushed her sister. She felt that as an elder sister, she should persuade her sister.
"Sister, why are you awake? Isn't it still early?" Lady Hu turned over lazily, presenting her chest completely to her sister. Fortunately, there were no marks on it.
Mrs. Hu herself? Mrs. Hu's eyes turned from her sister to herself. The same places on her body were blue and red. The force exerted on them last night had not completely disappeared, and seemed to have been kneaded into her soul.
"How disgraceful you are now, sister. Don't forget who you are." Mrs. Hu's sister's attitude made her even more uneasy, and this uneasiness turned into anger. She slapped her sister on the chest in anger. While she was trembling, Mrs. Hu's eyes widened.
"Sister, are you teaching me a lesson? I remember you seemed to enjoy it more last night?" Lady Hu sat up reluctantly, grabbed a thin shirt beside her and put it on.
"You're still blaming me. It wasn't you who called him here." Mrs. Hu said angrily.
"But you eat more, right?" Lady Hu stretched lazily, not caring about her sister's anger.
"You still say that." Mrs. Hu was embarrassed and angry this time, and slapped her sister on the waist.
"Sister, you are a widow now, why do you still care about these things? Wasn't it the same between you and Yang Chong when Liu Yi was alive? Now that Liu Yi is dead, you care about it instead. Is the dead Liu Yi more important than the living Liu Yi?" Lady Hu rubbed her waist. It was still sore, and after being slapped, it became sore and painful again.
"Am I talking about me? I'm talking about you, sister. You are a member of the palace. How could you do this? If the king knew about this, would you still want to live?" Mrs. Hu said in a low voice.
"Sister, I understand this matter better than you. Over the years, I have served carefully in the palace and walked on thin ice. Occasionally, I also want to indulge myself." Concubine Hu said.
The women in the palace seem to have no worries about food and clothing, and can enjoy material things that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, but in order to obtain those things, they must pay a price.
Lady Hu was certainly not complaining. She was very clear-headed. Ever since the destruction of Fire Rain Villa, she knew very well what she needed. So she did serve Han Wangan carefully. If nothing had changed, she would have continued to do so until Han Wangan no longer needed her. But an accident happened, and after the first accident, there would often be countless accidents.
"Sister, I know it's not easy for you, but we really can't do this." Mrs. Hu said. She understood her sister's helplessness, but people are always helpless in life, and these have to be endured. It is difficult for people who only know how to indulge themselves to survive.
"Don't worry, sister. I know my limits." Mrs. Hu said and lay down again. She didn't want to move before the morning.
"Oh." Mrs. Hu sighed. She has never been a person with strong opinions, not in the past nor now.
……
In Zi Lan Xuan, the sun was at its highest point in the sky. Zi Nu just got up and sat by the window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the street. She yawned out of boredom. This life of sleeping during the day and going out at night was really boring.
Zi Nu thought aimlessly, slowly leaned her arms on the windowsill, supporting her small face, and the things that happened in the past few days gradually emerged in her mind.
A man broke into her life in an almost brutal way, especially since this man was very likely her enemy.
There is also Han Fei. In the contacts between Wei Zhuang and Han Fei, Zi Nu has already seen the ambitions of both men. As a young woman, Zi Nu is still very interested in the ambitions of men, but it seems that apart from curiosity, she has no more emotions.
Why did he rush into Xinzheng so recklessly? Zi Nu pondered and suddenly found that her understanding of Yang Chong was still very limited. It could even be said that she had never really understood Yang Chong from the beginning to the end.
"So what kind of person is he? What does he want from me?" Zi Nu said to herself. In Zi Nu's opinion, Yang Chong is a strange person, but also a scheming person. He has stronger martial arts than Wei Zhuang, can kill people without blinking an eye, and has a talent and attainment in music that makes Nong Yu feel impressed. Could such a person really be the one who is entangled with her?
Zi Nu regretted it as she thought about it, because she found that some people didn't care about what she was saying. Just as she thought of Yang Chong's sight, Yang Chong's figure appeared on the street downstairs.
Seeing the figure downstairs, Zi Nu almost instinctively wanted to close the window, but it was obviously too late. Amid the exclamations of passers-by, Yang Chong actually jumped directly up from downstairs. When he reached a height parallel to the window, his body actually used the force of the air and turned around to get into Zi Nu's room.
"Why did Miss Zi Nu hide when she saw me?" Yang Chong, who had landed in Zi Nu's room, looked at the surrounding decorations. It was a very exquisite room, and he could even see some things that belonged to a girl in it. Obviously, under the mature mind of this Miss Zi Nu, there were still some marks of a girl that had not completely faded.
"Zi Lan Xuan does not accept guests during the day." Under Yang Chong's gaze, Zi Nu subconsciously took a step back, then barely managed to calm herself down and said.
"I know." Yang Chong sat leisurely in the place where Zi Nu had just sat. The cushion under his butt seemed to still have the residual warmth of Zi Nu.
"Why don't you leave?" Zi Nu glared at Yang Chong.
"When I come here at night, I am a guest, and when I come here during the day, I am your friend. Don't you, Miss Zinu, consider me a friend?" Yang Chong asked back.
"Friends? I don't have any friends." Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Yang Chong. She didn't know whether she agreed or disagreed with Yang Chong's "sophistry", but at least she didn't say anything about driving Yang Chong away.
"Is Ninth Master Han Fei your friend?" Yang Chong picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The taste lingered on his lips and teeth, but it was also a bit sour. This is how the world is. One's birth can determine 99% of the problems.
"Are you familiar with Han Fei?" Zi Nu asked, with a tentative look in her mind. After all, Yang Chong was Ji Wuye's man. In reality, she and Yang Chong were enemies, but because of the pursuit relationship between the two that was unclear whether it was true or false, this hostility became even more confusing.
"A man who wants to rule the world, who can be familiar with him?" Yang Chong said with disdain. In his opinion, Han Fei in this time and space was just like that. He was good at academics, but extremely naive when it came to political struggles. He could be said to be unqualified. He was even worse than his elder brother Han Yu, who was a man with lofty ambitions but overly naive. This was probably what the so-called scholar's ambition was like.
"Did Nanyue tell you these words?"
Yang Chong's unintentional words made Zi Nu's face change. Han Fei once mentioned his ambition during their chat, which was that he wanted ninety-nine out of the seven kingdoms. But this was just the content of a private conversation among a few people. How could Yang Chong know about it?
Zi Nu recalled the scene at that time. Was Nong Yu there at that time? Did Yang Chong know about it from Nong Yu? If so, it would be easier to explain. If not, then the meaning behind it is hard to say. Did Ye Mu know everything about their actions? If Ye Mu knew even their private conversations, then their situation could be imagined.
However, with Wei Zhuang present, it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop without being discovered, not even Yang Chong. Zi Nu analyzed and could only think of Nong Yu. In Zi Lan Xuan, Nong Yu was the one who was most familiar with Yang Chong, and the two of them often stayed together.
Could it really be Nanyue? Zi Nu thought of this and quickly denied it. She believed that Nanyue was a person who knew the importance of things. Even if she had a good relationship with Yang Chong, she would not reveal the secret of Zi Lan Xuan to Yang Chong.
"I never ask Nongyu about Zi Lan Xuan, and Nongyu won't tell me your secrets. You should trust Nongyu." Yang Chong said with an unhappy look on his face. Is this Zi Nu still the resourceful boss of Zi Lan Xuan in his impression? Why does she look a little stupid? Could it be that she has already set her mind on Han Fei?
"Then where did you know that?" Zi Nu asked.
"Is this important?" Yang Chong asked back.
"Very important." Zi Nu's expression was full of solemnity.
"That's only for you. To me, it's not important at all. Miss Zinu, you just need to manage Zilanxuan well. There are some things that a woman like you cannot participate in. It will not do you any good." Yang Chong warned.
"What do you mean?" There was more vigilance in Zi Nu's eyes.
"I don't know why you want to participate in those things, and I don't know what you want to achieve. It's a man's game, why would a woman like you participate? Even if you win, what can you get? How can a woman like you become an official?" Yang Chong said.
"Did Ye Mu say these words to me, or did Yang Chong say them to me?" Zi Nu was now completely certain that Yang Chong was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
