From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The warm breath washed over her body, and Xue Ningyue felt limp and could not muster any strength, but her spirit became more and more excited.

She smiled, her eyes were a little shy, and she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long time, Zhou Yuan let out a long breath and said, "How is it?"

"Well... much better."

Xue Ningyue's body was weak, and she spoke softly, whispering, "Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for many days, so I'm sorry to bother you to treat my illness."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Why say these polite words, as long as it works."

Xue Ningyue's eyes were as bright as water, and she said gently, "Brother Zhou, you are so good to me."

Hmm? This look seems wrong...

Zhou Yuan was a little afraid to look directly at her, and quickly changed the subject: "Ningyue, has something happened? I see that you look worried, is there another reason for your illness?"

Xue Ningyue was stunned for a moment, she opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Something happened, but it's not a big deal, I don't want to trouble Brother Zhou to worry about it."

"It's just that I heard that Brother Zhou went to the mountains to practice Taoism, and I'm a little worried."

This girl has learned to keep people in suspense.

Zhou Yuan has been a human for two lifetimes, and he has experienced ups and downs. He can tell what kind of person Xue Ningyue is.

This girl looks weak, but she is very opinionated and has considerable courage.

Otherwise, she wouldn't insist on seeing him off at the poetry meeting.

Seeing Zhou Yuan lost in thought, Xue Ningyue smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I haven't heard a story for a long time. Tell me a story!"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you one... "Dream of Red Mansions". Forget it, it's too complicated. I'll tell you "Journey to the West"!"

The story of the journey to the West is relatively simple, with a direct line, and it's easy to tell.

So, the story of the monkey was told, and the bizarre journey to the West quickly attracted the young girl.

After about half an hour, Zhou Yuan finally finished the story.

And Xue Ningyue was already in high spirits.

Her cold was mainly a heart disease. After seeing Zhou Yuan, her heart disease was gone, and after her internal force washed away the cold, she was almost recovered.

"So, in fact, people's destiny needs to be fought, isn't it?"

Xue Ningyue smiled.

Zhou Yuan didn't expect that she could bring out the spirit of fighting against fate, and couldn't help but admire: "Sister Ningyue is indeed a talented woman, with her own insight."

As soon as the voice fell, Xue Ningyue suddenly propped herself up and hugged Zhou Yuan directly.

Her body was soft, warm and slender, and every inch exuded the vitality of youth.

Her voice was gentle but firm: "Brother Zhou, I want to control my own destiny."

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

To be honest, although he has not been in this world for a long time, he also knows how much courage it takes for a young girl to do such a thing.

Zhou Yuan did not push her away, but just hugged her gently and said: "Why? I want to hear your reason."

Xue Ningyue said: "Maybe it's those poems, maybe it's stories, maybe it's what happened on the day of the poetry meeting outing. It's hard to explain, there's no reason."

"I only know that I stood up to see you off that day, which has proved everything."

Who doesn't like to hear such words?

Anyway, Zhou Yuan likes it.

He couldn't help laughing: "What a pity, I'm a married man, and a son-in-law."

Xue Ningyue suddenly broke free from his arms, her eyes clear, but with firm feelings.

"Those things can't trap you, Brother Zhou."

At this moment, she looked into Zhou Yuan's eyes fearlessly and said, "I know those things can't trap you, how can a golden fish stay in a pond? Woo... Woo... Don't..."

The teacup in Ziyuan's hand fell to the ground, staring blankly at the two people kissing on the bed.

I just went to make a cup of tea, how did things turn out like this?

Zhou Yuan let go of Xue Ningyue, stood up like nothing happened, and tidied his clothes.

He looked at Ziyuan and smiled, "Clean the floor, and then help us pour tea."

"Ah? Oh!"

Ziyuan quickly put down the teapot, blushing, and ran out in a hurry.

Zhou Yuan then looked at Xue Ningyue, and was slightly stunned.

She had buried her head in the quilt, looking ashamed.

"No! It's bad!"

Zi Yuan, who had just left the room, ran back in a hurry, stammering anxiously: "Xue, Xue... Madam Xue is here to catch the adulterer!"

Xue Ningyue trembled and almost fell out of bed.

"Catch you, you big-headed ghost!"

Zhou Yuan glared at her unhappily and said, "Sweep it up quickly!"

Soon, a woman in luxurious clothes came in and frowned when she saw the water stains on the floor.She looked like a very capable person, and she walked briskly.

Seeing Zhou Yuan salute, she did not respond, but just looked closer at Xue Ningyue, whose face was flushed, and then her face sank.

"Mr. Zhou, you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family. I am very grateful to you for visiting my Ningyue."

"But you should be sensible when doing things. How can you come into a girl's boudoir casually?"

"A man and a woman are in the same room for such a long time. If it gets out, will my Ningyue still be a human being?"

Mrs. Xue's voice was a little sharp, and her eyes were cold. She obviously hated Zhou Yuan's behavior.

Xue Ningyue said immediately: "Mother, it's not that serious. I asked Brother Zhou to come in."

Mrs. Xue snorted and glared: "Brother Zhou? Ningyue, this title is too intimate. You are going to get married, so you should pay attention to the impact!"

Get married? Zhou Yuan frowned slightly and looked at Xue Ningyue.

Xue Ningyue took a deep breath and said, "I won't marry."

"It's not up to you!"

Mrs. Xue said sharply, "It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Is it your turn to make the decision?"

She didn't give Xue Ningyue a chance to refute. She turned to look at Zhou Yuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, you've seen it all. It's time to go back!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and bowed, saying, "Okay, see you next time, auntie, and Ningyue."

He winked at Ziyuan and walked out slowly.

As soon as they left the house, Ziyuan couldn't help but said, "Son-in-law! How could you do that? How could you let down the young lady!"

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't tell your young lady, lest she get jealous."

Ziyuan said, "That won't work. I'm the young lady's maid, not Miss Xue's maid."

"It's up to you."

Zhou Yuan didn't care about this kind of thing being exposed, but just asked in confusion, "Ziyuan, what's the situation with the Xue family? What's the matter with the marriage? Do you know?"

Ziyuan tilted her head and said, "It's a restaurant, but it seems that the business is not very good."

Zhou Yuan said, "What else?"

"I don't know."

Okay, Miss Ziyuan is still better at cooking and making tea, and the rest are just a joke.

If you want to find a know-it-all about the things in Yunzhou City, you have to go to Baihua Pavilion.

I haven't seen Miss Cai Ni for a long time, and I don't know if she is doing well recently.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, come with me to the brothel! Let's go to the Baihua Pavilion at night."

Ziyuan shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, my lady and I go there during the day, not at night."

"Hahaha!"

After Zhou Yuan sent her home, he went to the Baihua Pavilion alone.

Seeing old friends, asking about the Xue family, and thinking about ways to make money.

As a son-in-law, the status is not very good, Zhou Yuan plans to start facing the challenges of the status and the pressure of the world.

It's time to start a career.
