Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 171 Abandoned Case 1

The city of Liyanjing is prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, and it is very lively.

Ning Shujun was very satisfied with the prosperity of the market, "How is Li Yan?"

"A paradise on earth" thought of the scene he saw when he returned to Changguo two years ago. The difference between the two places was as great as heaven and earth.

"Of course." Ning Shujun held his hand, smiling, "Let's go over there."

After a day of shopping, the night market was brightly lit, with snacks along the street. Both of them were wearing masks and walking among the crowd, Murong Lian holding a bunch of sweets.

Ning Shujun's eyes flashed with sadness, then she picked up a candy man and said with a smile: "I don't like this anymore."

"It seems that I have to eat it alone," Murong Lian said, "I wonder if you are willing to share some of it with me."

"my pleasure"

After they left the city, she did not plan to return to the princess's mansion, but went to her residence outside the city.

Pushing the fence open, the two walked in. The yard was overgrown with weeds and had a few bamboo houses with simple furnishings.

"Just make do with it!" Ning Shujun waved her hand, the candlestick outside the house lit up, and the two sat in the courtyard.

Murong Lian was a little confused about her actions, "My lady is so stingy. She brought me to this secluded place instead of going to the Princess's Mansion."

"It's quite secluded." Ning Shujun paused while making tea. "If you don't like it, you can go to my house."

Murong Lian refused, "This place is sparsely populated, no one will disturb us, I guess you haven't brought anyone here."

"How do you know?" Ning Shujun was a little surprised and made a cup of tea and handed it to him.

From what she said, Murong Lian chuckled, "No one has lived here for a long time. It seems unreasonable not to send a servant to clean the place of a princess of the Tang Dynasty."

Ning Shujun narrowed her eyes and said, "There's more."

Murong Lian continued, "You set up a barrier outside the house to prevent others from coming in. The land on one side of the yard is overgrown with weeds, and there is a hoe thrown aside."

At this time, Ning Shujun remembered the green beans and loofahs she had planted. She turned around and saw the weeds growing everywhere. Ning Shujun had no idea where to put her. She was about to move forward, but Murong Lian told her not to move. Then a coiled snake was caught.

Ning Shujun covered her chest when she saw this scene. She almost stepped on it just now. But in just half a year, this bamboo house was almost scrapped.

"Sorry, I..." She didn't expect things to change so quickly.

Murong Lian comforted her, "There is no need to apologize between you and me"

Ning Shujun pulled him to leave, "Let's just stay at the mansion."

"Then how would you introduce me?" Murong Lian sighed and said with a wry smile, "Among the more than 100 young masters in your mansion, where do I rank? Hmm..."

She was shocked, and after a long while she said, "You know."

"Princess Shujun's name is well-known and she has been collecting handsome men since her early years. There are countless men in her mansion..."

"Stop." Ning Shujun didn't want to argue. "Yes, there are 126 people in the mansion. Some of them were awarded by the late emperor, some were bought by me, and some..."

Murong Lian's face was extremely ugly, "I know."

"But, I only love you the most." Ning Shujun looked at him with a serious expression, holding his hand tightly, and said with a smile, "During these days together, we are still the same as before. You also said that you would always be with me, right?"

She bent down and kissed the palm of Murong Lian's hand, then climbed up his arm with gentle and careful movements. Noticing that he was hesitating, she brought him into the space without further ado.

"Look, this place is still the same as before, it has never changed," Ning Shujun said, pointing to her heart. "Only you know my secret, and this heart is also yours."

But when she met those calm eyes, her heart ached. Ning Shujun stood up and walked away from him, with sadness in her eyes and a smile, "If you dislike me, I will wait for you to change your mind. But some things cannot be changed. I have already sent my sincerity to Changguo, and I will not let go this time."

After Ning Shujun left, Murong Lian walked into the wooden house. He just expressed his doubts. He never expected that after five years of separation, would the person he loved still be the same person as before? This wave of shock was not small, and he was a little dazed.

"This girl is quite aggressive, like someone from my demon clan." A voice sounded. It was the demon spirit in Murong Lian's body. When he heard about the girl's deeds, he was also shocked.

Murong Lian frowned and said, "Shut up." He glanced at everything in front of him. Although he knew the fact, he thought she would deny it, but he never expected that she would admit it so easily.

Suddenly he noticed a painting and went forward to admire it. The scenery in the painting seemed to be a residence in a bamboo forest. The two people in it were him and Ning Shujun. The garden was full of spring colors and the scenery was pleasant. Flowers were blooming everywhere, but it was the season when the flowers bloomed and the sky was full of snow.

Her fingers brushed across the picture, and the person in the painting had a sweet smile. Murong Lian's mouth corners unconsciously raised, but then she thought of how she had been with other men, drinking and chatting happily, and she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

The painting disappeared in an instant, and this scene happened to be seen by Ning Shujun. As expected, he was concerned about the scene in which she was in the illusion at that time.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and put on a smile, "Good job, it's just a bad piece of work. I just need to change the painting. Thank you very much!"

Then she took out a picture of Lantern Festival lanterns. Under the falling snow, the candlelight of the lanterns in the river was swaying, and the lights on the other side of the river were bright.

"You" After a pause, Ning Shujun said, "I am really touched that you came to find me."

Murong Lian looked at her with mixed emotions in her eyes. She felt very stupid and her heart was blocked at this moment.

The two of them were in a stalemate. Ning Shujun was reluctant and tears rolled down her face. She spoke with difficulty, "Husband..."

She showed her weak side and looked pitiful.

"Enough," Murong Lian said in a deep voice, but someone still did not stop her actions.

Although it was excessive, she did not want her lover to serve another country. The room was filled with the faint fragrance of cassia bark, which surrounded Murong Lian and gradually eroded her composure.

"you are mine"

"Always," Ning Shujun whispered in his ear. Warmth enveloped her entire body, and she felt proud in her heart. She had to get what she wanted.

When Ning Shujun walked out of the space, she found that her bamboo forest residence had been tidied up.

She looked around and saw the man meditating on a bluestone, so Ning Shujun walked over.

He just stood there quietly, the smile on his lips never diminished.

"You're awake." In fact, Murong Lian noticed her approach just now.

Ning Shujun wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief.

Only then did she notice the love knot bracelets on their wrists, which she had woven herself.

“It’s too late to regret now”

"What do you regret?" Murong Lian was puzzled.

She shook her head and said, "Nothing, maybe I was just talking nonsense."
