Chapter 131 Corner
Tang Wanru didn't expect his speed to be so fast, and he counterattacked her in an instant.
But how easy is it to control her?
Tang Wanru didn't answer his question. On the surface, she was struggling with him over the dagger, but in fact, she raised her elbow and pushed back hard, hitting his stomach, forcing Bai Yanli to retreat. She took the opportunity to bend down and escape from his grip. She turned around and swept the dagger in her hand towards him again. Bai Yanli retreated rapidly and was pushed directly against the bed wall by her. Her eyes were sharp: "You are not Bai Yanli at all, right?"
In his previous life, Bai Yanli's entire family was framed by Tang Yue'er and Zhou Ziyue and died tragically.
The man in front of him was shrewd and wise. He had never thought of marrying Tang Yue'er from the beginning!
He used her to break off Tang Yueer's engagement.
Now he married her.
What is his purpose?
Since the conversation had come to this point, Bai Yanli quickly grabbed her arm and said, "What about you? Who are you? Are you the former eldest daughter of the Tang family?"
In his previous life, Bai Yanli married Tang Yueer, and the eldest daughter of the Tang family married into the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion.
But she never thought of marrying into the Marquis's Mansion from the beginning!
Both of them had guesses about each other, but they were not sure. They wanted to ask questions but were confused. No one was afraid of exposing the truth. So they fought back and forth in the bridal chamber.
Outside.
Bai Ge and Shang were standing not far away, watching the shadows coming and going in the bridal chamber. The two looked at each other silently. Tonight was the wedding night, why did it feel like these two people were fighting?
In fact, they didn't mean to peek. They just passed by here accidentally when they were going back to their room to rest after the wedding was completed today.
They just took a quick look and were surprised to find that the lights were on in two people's rooms.
And it doesn't look like they are being intimate.
I could vaguely see something occasionally lying across the necks of the two people.
Shang recalled the day when she went to the general's mansion to see Yu, and Zhang said that the relationship between the two was very unfamiliar.
Now it seems like it can’t be true, right?
Shang was unsure and said to Bai Ge, "Master, why are they still awake so late? Should we go in and take a look?"
"What are you looking at?" Bai Ge rolled his eyes. "The kids are grown up, not children anymore. They know how to enter the bridal chamber." After saying that, Bai Ge suddenly saw Tang Wanru seemed to be holding a knife and slashing towards Bai Yanli. Not only did he feel a shock in his heart, he was also really unsure.
The two looked at each other and decided to leave. Maybe that was how young people got along. The two of them didn't yell or call out to each other, so they didn't want to go in and disturb them.
Just as the two were about to leave, a figure leaped in from the roof. Then the figure looked around, saw Bai Yanli and Tang Wanru's bridal chamber, and walked over quietly. He raised his hand to knock on the door.
This frightened Bai Ge and Shang. They rushed over and shouted, "What are you doing?"
King Wei Zhou Zhuoqi was stunned and turned around.
Seeing that it was Zhou Zhuoqi, the two men let down their guard, but Shang still pulled him over and said, "Tonight is Li'er's wedding night, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that both Bai Ge and the Shang family elders were standing here, Zhou Zhuoqi was a little nervous. He replied, "I, I have something to ask him."
Shang said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. Don't disturb Li'er's work."
Zhou Zhuoqi silently raised his eyes to glance at the two shadows fighting in the room, and whispered back, "They haven't started yet, I'll just say a few words and leave."
Seeing that the two seemed to be fighting more and more happily, Shang insisted on her own idea: "That won't work either. No matter how big the matter is, you can't disturb someone's wedding night."
Zhou Zhuoqi had no choice but to give up this idea. He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the Bai couple: "Uncle and aunt, my seventh brother is having his wedding night today, what are you doing outside?"
Before the two could answer, Zhou Zhuoqi almost jumped up as if she had discovered a new world: "Ah, I see, you are not waiting to eavesdrop on other people's bridal chamber, are you?"
The two of them turned pale when they heard this. If this guy spreads it, how can they save their faces?
"Don't talk nonsense." Bai Ge said nervously.
"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhou Zhuoqi felt that he had guessed right when he saw how nervous they were. His eyes lit up. "Haha, I didn't expect that uncle and aunt would still eavesdrop on other people at their age. Hehehe."
"You little bastard!" Shang raised his hand to hit him.
Zhou Zhuoqi's eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "Add me in, let me listen with you, and I won't tell anyone about this!"
"You are threatening people."
The three of them were making a mess.
The door of the bridal chamber was opened with a creak. The three people looked up suddenly and saw Bai Yanli in red standing at the door, looking at them coldly.
Three people:......
Bai Ge and Shang looked at each other. Shang was about to explain something, but heard Bai Yanli say to Zhou Zhuoqi, "Come in," and turned and walked in.
*
Although Zhou Zhuoqi looks nonchalant outside, his expression instantly becomes serious and reliable once he enters the door.
Seeing Tang Wanru sitting on the bed, he bowed to her and said, "Seventh sister-in-law!"
Tang Wanru nodded to him nonchalantly with her hand: "Yeah."
She looked so gentle, as if she had never fought with Bai Yanli at all.
Zhou Zhuoqi didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.
Maybe this is how people communicate their emotions.
Zhou Zhuoqi sat down and saw Bai Yanli get up and pour a cup of hot tea at the table. He thought it was for him and was about to get up to take it with both hands, but unexpectedly Bai Yanli walked around him and handed it to Tang Wanru.
Tang Wanru was indeed tired from fighting with Bai Yanli just now, so she took the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Zhuoqi stiffly withdrew his outstretched hand and coughed twice awkwardly.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Bai Yanli asked calmly.
Zhou Zhuoqi didn't say anything, but just looked at Bai Yanli hesitantly, indicating that she had something to say to him alone.
Bai Yanli didn't think about avoiding people, and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhou Zhuoqi was sure that Tang Wanru was mistaken for himself and said, "Seventh brother, today the disaster victims rushed into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and looted the property of the mansion, especially the dowry of the second lady of the Tang family, which was directly robbed. At that time, the wife of the Marquis was squeezed and fell, and her head hit the corner of the dowry box and was injured."
"Yeah." Bai Yanli glanced at Tang Wanru.
This is thanks to his wife.
Zhou Zhuoqi said, "But the spies reported that the prince was planning to send these disaster victims to attack Song Tiesheng's residence in the Imperial City. I didn't expect that they would actually attack the Marquis' residence."
Obviously, this matter was not just because of Tang Wanru.
"what do you mean?"
Zhou Zhuoqi replied: "I think these disaster victims were heading for the Marquis' Mansion from the beginning. In other words -"
"Does the prince have a traitor?" Bai Yanli gave a direct answer. Yes, Tang Wanru alone could never cause such a big commotion. They did not go to the Song Mansion but to the Marquis Mansion. There must be something wrong.
"That's right." Zhou Zhuoqi nodded.
Bai Yanli's eyes darkened. He remembered that the last time he entered the palace, Emperor Zhou was upset because he couldn't get into the inner world of the crown prince. This meant that the traitor was not the emperor's man, and at the same time, this person was not his own. So who could it be?
Bai Yanli hesitated.
At this moment, Tang Wanru was sipping the cup of hot tea calmly without saying a word.
Zhou Zhuoqi added: "Seventh brother, I heard that the prince has asked Zhou Ziyue to send someone to Peijing."
Accompany Beijing?
Isn't that where the flood happened?
"That's right." Zhou Zhuoqi said, "The victims of the disaster suddenly caused trouble, and the emperor needs to investigate the mastermind behind this."
"Prince wants to divert the blame?" Bai Yanli asked.
Zhou Zhuoqi nodded.
Bai Yanli sneered. The prince's move was really insidious. Thinking of the people who were currently staying in Beijing to help with disaster relief, he roughly guessed who he was going to lead him to. Bai Yanli couldn't help but turn his gaze to Tang Wanru.
She was sitting there obediently, as if she was not interested in what they were talking about at all.
"Okay. I understand." Bai Yanli nodded to Zhou Zhuoqi.
After Zhou Zhuoqi left, the room fell silent again. After hearing what Zhou Zhuoqi had just said, Bai Yanli became even more curious about Tang Wanru.
Thinking of everything that happened today, he suddenly had a bold guess.
Could the traitor be...
"Yes." Tang Wanru handed the empty cup of water to Bai Yanli. As Bai Yanli reached out to take it, he grabbed her hand and pulled Tang Wanru up into his arms with a sudden force.
