Chapter 150 [Dark fragrance and sparse shadow]
The beautiful woman got off the car and saw her bowing to Wu Yi. Without waiting for Wu Yi to answer, she stood up and walked to him. She leaned into her ear as if no one was around and whispered in a low voice.
"Uh!" Wu Yi's expression changed when he heard the voice, and said in a lost voice: "Sister, it's a turbulent time now. How can you bring outsiders to the mansion? What if the lord asks me, how should I deal with it?"
Perhaps he felt that his words were too heavy and his tone was too stern, for fear of losing his sister's face. So Wu Yi paused and explained softly: "Sister, don't be angry. Brother, don't object to your reception of friends. It's just that so many people live in the mansion, but there are many inconveniences, which is too ostentatious. It should be noted that today is different from the past. The war has just ended, and the situation in the city is tense, and the investigation is very strict.
At the prefecture's meeting, the lord ordered that from tomorrow, the city gates would be closed, and no one would be allowed to leave the city except for holding the city certificate issued by the prefecture's government. In addition, starting from tomorrow morning, the lord's personal soldiers will search the people of the city from door to door, and major families and official residences are no exception. Once a person with suspicious identity or unknown origin is found, they will be arrested immediately, and those who cover these people will be implicated. Once verified, the whole family will be executed. Therefore, it is not because my brother is not familiar with the world, but because the situation is forced to remind my sister."
After explaining in detail, Wu Yi looked at his increasingly beautiful and charming sister nervously and asked weakly: "For brother, I'm going to ask, I wonder who are in these carriages, women or men, there's no problem with their identity?" As he spoke, Wu Yi seemed to be inconsistent, and his body, who was more than eight feet tall, bent over. He was consistent with his sister who was half short of him, staring at her expression, for fear that she would be angry, and she would not tell the truth and deliberately conceal it. What he was most worried about was that there was a man in the carriage that came back with her sister this time.
It goes without saying that the beautiful woman who stood beside Wu Yi at this moment was his sister Wu Xian, Liu Mao’s widow, Liu Zhang’s third sister-in-law.
Wu Xian was born with beautiful appearance and looked like a fairy. Before she could even get married, someone said that she was a rich and noble person. She was born with Fengyi. Therefore, Wu Xian was favored since childhood and loved everyone. Even his brother Wu Yi was obedient to her and regarded her as a treasure. He even placed the future and destiny of the entire family on her. The father of the brother and sister had a good relationship with Liu Yan during his lifetime. So he took the whole family to Shu with Liu Yan. Wu Yi was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Yan and was conscientiously entrusted as his confidant. Afterwards, Liu Yan heard that Wu Xian was born with Fengyi, so he married Liu Mao when he was seriously ill, and intended to pass the position of governor of the state to his third son Liu Mao. Unexpectedly, Liu Mao had a sudden illness on the night of his wedding and never got sick since then. He died soon after.
After Liu Mao died of illness, the position of governor of the state naturally fell on Liu Zhang. However, Liu Zhang was very secretive of Wu Yi and Wu Xian brothers and sisters. He neither relied on Wu Yi nor weakened his military power, and was as close as possible. This disappointed Wu Yi, who was determined to revitalize the family by relying on his sister, and had been wandering away from Liu Zhang's confidants. Fortunately, Liu Zhang was quite good at Wu Xian, the third sister-in-law, and was quite caring about her, and never restrained her whereabouts, and did not object to her moving back to the Wu Mansion to live with her brother.
After Liu Mao's death, Wu Xian was criticized and said behind his back that there were many people who were talking about her, especially her beautiful and charming appearance, and kept a distance. Many people talked about the reason why Liu Mao died suddenly was because Wu Xian was too charming, so that Liu Mao, who was full of energy, suddenly suffered a serious illness on the wedding night and unfortunately died. These rumors spread quickly as soon as they were spread, and it was so popular that everyone in the city of Chengdu knew about it, so they kept their distance from the Wu brothers and sisters.
Wu Xian's natural beauty and charming and beautiful appearance not only did not bring her happiness, but was regarded as a "monster", which made the princes and children of officials who had been with her all day fear her like a tiger, and they were still unable to avoid her and dared not step into the gate of the Wu Mansion.
From then on, Wu Yi did not expect the wealth and honor that the prime minister said was, but was ignored. Although he still held the position of General General of the Central Army, he was not valued and was squeezed out of the core decision-making level of Yizhou and became an optional marginal general under Liu Zhang's tent.
In a blink of an eye, Liu Zhang had been recruiting Yizhou for more than six years, and Wu Yi, who was not valued, has gradually become accustomed to this kind of situation of being neither good nor bad. His younger sister Wu Xian was at a young age but became a widow. Because of her special status, for so many young talents in Yizhou have never dared to have any inappropriate thoughts even if they covet her beauty, and no one dared to come to propose marriage.
At this point, Wu Yi's subconscious desire to rely on his sister to cling to the powerful gradually faded, or he no longer had any illusions and completely gave up. After all, Wu Xian was married as a wife, and even if he came from a famous family, he was no longer a lady from a famous family. The reputation of a widow made countless children of aristocratic families discouraged, let alone she was also the third sister-in-law of the governor Liu Zhang.
As long as Liu Zhang was in power for one day, no one dared to have any inappropriate thoughts about Wu Xian. In contrast, as long as Wu Xian is in Yizhou and under Liu Zhang's rule, it is impossible to remarry. Even if she wants to remarry, it is in vain. Liu Zhang will never allow her to remarry in order to take care of the face of the Liu family.
Because of this, Wu Yi was very nervous at the moment, worried that his sister would have been out for more than half a year. If he brought back a man when he came back, it would be a big deal. Even if his sister and the man were innocent, nothing would happen, but people would be afraid of it. Once this matter was spread, it would inevitably lead to Liu Zhang, who was in a panic, and he would be angry. At that time, the whole family of the Wu family would suffer, which would bring disaster to the entire clan!
It is worth mentioning that after Wu Xian became a widow, Wu Yi's idea of being a strange man was shattered, but he still obeyed Wu Xian and cared for her very much. He has been pampering her for many years and has been doing his best to do anything to make up for his guilt towards his sister and try to alleviate her loneliness and pain.
This sincere and firm love between brother and sister is rare in this troubled world. It is truly precious, admirable and enviable.
"Brother is so worried." Seeing Wu Yi staring at him with fear and worry in his eyes, Wu Xian shook his head and denied it, explaining: "The car is Fairy Meng Xin, the head of the Wuchen Palace, and more than a dozen disciples under her, all female relatives, so there are no outsiders." As he spoke, Wu Xian actually acted coquettishly at Wu Yi, as if he was worried that Wu Yi would continue to ask questions. Little did he know that the more she was like this, Wu Yi became more suspicious, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he opened his eyes wide and looked at her shy and twisted look, looking very surprised.
If Wu Yi had asked her like this, Wu Xian would have been reluctant to let go. He would not let him go if he didn't bother him and admit his mistakes. However, Wu Xian's behavior was extremely abnormal at this moment. Not only did he not catch his words and clench his words, he instead took the lead by avoiding the important words, and his eyes flashed when he spoke, and he did not dare to look at Wu Yi's eyes, which seemed very guilty.
This expression made Wu Yi know at a glance that she was lying because she couldn't hide it at all and never lie. At least in front of Wu Yi, she had never lie.
"Fairy Meng Xin is here?" Although he was suspicious, Wu Yi was shocked when he heard that Fairy Meng Xin, the lord of Wuchen Palace, actually came to the Wu Mansion in person. He looked up at the six high-rise carriages in front of him in disbelief, as if he was eager to see Meng Xin himself.
Unfortunately, he looked at the six carriages from front to back, but saw that the people on the carriage had no intention of getting off. Even the windows were covered tightly, making him unable to see who was sitting in the car, and it was even more impossible to see the elegant fairy Meng Xin.
In fact, Wu Yi has no desire for Meng Xin, because he has seen Meng Xin several times. Every time he faces Meng Xin, he feels ashamed and ashamed. Therefore, he has no inappropriate thoughts about Meng Xin, and it is pure and admirable. This is because every time he sees the extraordinary fairy Meng Xin, his pure and beautiful face, his elegant figure, and his fairy-like elegant temperament make Wu Yi feel warm. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also comfortable in body and mind. It is really wonderful and unforgettable.
However, at this moment, seeing the carriage parked in the yard without moving, Wu Yi knew that Fairy Mengxin and her disciples did not intend to show up.
In a big disappointment, Wu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly, looked back at Wu Xian with a suspicious face, and said suspiciously: "Fairy Meng Xin is really here? Apart from her and a group of disciples, there is no one else in the car?"
Wu Xianjiao's face changed slightly, shook her head and denied: "Sister Mengxin is in the second carriage, and the rest are disciples of Wuchen Palace, and there are no one else. The elder brother should know that Wu Chen Palace is full of women, and all of them are girls who have not yet been married. It is too late now, and it is inappropriate to show up in public, so they did not get off the car. If the elder brother wants to see Sister Mengxin, come to Changleyuan again tomorrow morning, and you will naturally see her." Perhaps he felt that his elder brother was already suspicious, so Wu Xian turned his head and pretended to be angry, so he did not let Wu Yi see her nervous and panicked expression.
Sure enough, seeing that his sister was unhappy, Wu Yi smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "My sister is right. It's getting late now, and it's not the time to meet. Well, the carriage goes directly into the backyard. Fairy Meng Xin and her disciples live with her sister in Changle Garden, and the remaining entourages are placed in the West Courtyard. The West Courtyard has been empty, which should be enough for them to live."
"Well, thank you brother." After hearing Wu Yi finally stopped asking, Wu Xian immediately gave a gift and smiled sweetly: "It's late at night. Brother has worked so hard for a day. Let's take a break earlier. My sister will arrange everything."
"Okay, my sister should take a rest sooner." Wu Yi smiled with relief and enjoyment. Then, he ordered his entourage to come forward to help, drove the carriage to the backyard, and then turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.
However, just as he raised his legs and crossed the threshold of the main hall, he turned around and shouted: "Is there really no man in the car?"
"No"
