Chapter 1 Unexpectedly exposed so soon
In the third year of Jingcheng's reign, the previous emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty to the world.
Jinxiu Mansion and Mu Shen Village seemed to be infected with this kind of joy. In the embankment of the mud house, a woman with a sallow complexion smiled from ear to ear. "Mr. Mu, my family is nineteen, but I have been a servant in the palace."
, Now that I have returned to my hometown, why should the price of this betrothal gift be higher?"
The Mu family is the landowner of Mu Shen Village, who controls the farmland of the village and collects rent and food.
The owner of the house was an old man who was over sixty years old. He was holding a cigarette pole, his bright eyes swept over the woman with a flattering smile, and then looked at the girl the woman was talking about.
Feng Jiujiu of the Feng family, her parents died early, she was sold to a foreign race at the age of twelve, and later she entered the palace to serve. She is now twenty-three, not to mention her age, her face is pockmarked, and her beauty is completely incomparable.
Seeing the old man of the Mu family looking at Feng Jiu for a long time, the woman was worried that the marriage would not come true, so she quickly added, "Mr. Mu, Jiu Jiu has been serving people for ten years. Don't worry, I will take care of your silly grandson."
, absolutely unambiguous.”
Mr. Mu took a puff of dry cigarette, the smoke dispersed, and he sighed silently.
Aunt Feng was right. If her grandson hadn't been stupid, how could he have bought a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line.
Mr. Mu glanced at the servant, who understood and put two taels of silver on the scratched table, "Aunt Feng, no more."
Aunt Feng hesitated for a moment, deciding whether to win or not.
How could Feng Jiu be married to a decent family at her age? Besides, it was not a problem for her to stay at home after being kicked out of the palace.
"It's done." Aunt Feng collected the money, weighed it, put it in her purse, picked up Feng Jiu and said, "Master Mu, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Let's take Jiu Jiu back today!"
She smiled happily and did not forget to tell Feng Jiu, "I will serve the Mu family master well, do you hear me?"
The woman named Feng Jiu kept silent, her head lowered all the time, wearing coarse cloth clothes and wearing a pair of cloth shoes.
"go home."
Mr. Mu set out and walked slowly in front, followed by two servants and Feng Jiu, who was walking step by step.
She knew that her uncle and aunt were afraid that having an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks would treat her as a burden.
There are only a hundred households in Mu Shen Village, and the Mu family is the only wealthy family in the village. They have a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, white walls and blue tiles, located at the entrance of the village.
Feng Jiu entered the Mu family, and that night the Mu family held a banquet. The east wing was hastily decorated, with red flowers hanging on the door, silk hanging high, and dragon and phoenix candles swaying.
She took a shower and changed clothes, now wearing a bright red wedding robe.
The hijab blocked her sight, and she waited quietly for the Mu family's son to enter the bridal chamber.
At midnight, the door of the room was pushed open amid the commotion, and Feng Jiu couldn't help but tighten his knuckles.
The sound of footsteps approached, and a hand as white as jade appeared under the tassel of the hijab. This hand slightly lifted a corner of the hijab, and then the man bent down and peeked at the bride's face.
At the right time, Feng Jiu met a pair of deep black eyes.
"Lady?"
The man has a gentle voice, a face like Pan'an, and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
Feng Jiu was stunned. She had just returned to Mu Shen Village not long ago, and no one had told her that the Mu family's young master was actually a handsome man. He had such a handsome face that he would probably be kidnapped to be the face-souling officer in the palace.
"Madam?" the man called out again, and pulled off the red hijab on Feng Jiu's head. With an elegant smile on his face, he straightened up and stood tall.
Feng Jiu was still in disbelief. Did they make a mistake? The Mu family's young master had no worries about finding a wife!
Her brown eyes were filled with surprise. The next moment, the man sniffed her neck and then licked her cheek.
Feng Jiu felt her cheeks moist, her nerves tightened, and she stared at Mu Wei Xian warily.
Unexpectedly, a nine-foot-tall man squatted at her feet, lolled his pink tongue, and howled, "Woof woof woof, woof woof..."
Feng Jiu was greatly frightened by this scene.
"Woof woof woof."
He thought he was a dog, rubbed his chin against Feng Jiu's slender fingertips, and licked them again.
What a fool!
Feng Jiu hurriedly pulled away, looking at Mu Wei Xian as if he were looking at a monster.
"Madam, sweet lady." Mu Wei Xian came forward, hugged her, and cradled her shoulders, no different from an animal.
Feng Jiu didn't move this time, her face getting darker and darker...
She just wanted to hide her identity, and marrying a fool was just what she wanted. Who knows how stupid her husband could be!
Unexpectedly, Mu Wei Xian could feel the deep cold air emanating from the bride's surroundings. He muttered words such as "Madam, Xiangxiang" and threw Feng Jiu down on the couch.
The candle flame flickered on and off, and a cold light flashed through Feng Jiu's eyes. He raised his hand and clicked twice on Mu Wei's Xianfengchi acupoint and Yamen acupoint.
In an instant, the restless stupid husband fell beside her like a corpse.
Feng Jiu pushed him away, stood up, and took a look at the man sleeping peacefully. He was really blinded by this good skin!
No wonder, despite her pockmarked face and her age of over 20, who would be willing to send her daughter to the fire pit except her uncle and aunt?
"Boom."
At this moment, there was a strange noise outside the room, and Feng Jiu was like a frightened bird. He suddenly saw a figure shaking outside the window.
Did the new emperor send people to hunt her down?
The world knew that the late emperor died of illness, but they didn't know that it was actually a murder. King Rui killed his brother in order to seize the legitimate heir, and one of the regicides was Feng Jiu.
She was originally Fengyuan, a killer kept in captivity by the new emperor. He was eliminated after the rebellion. Fortunately, she saved a trick and escaped without anyone noticing, saving her life.
If she hadn't been worried about her identity being revealed, she wouldn't have complied with her uncle and aunt's wishes.
Unexpectedly, his whereabouts would be exposed so quickly!
