? Chapter 154 Ask for advice The winter night is cold, but the moonlight this night is extraordinarily bright. A few pots of silver charcoal were lit in the small flower hall, making people feel like they were in spring. "You mean," Su Bingwen's eyes darkened after listening to his second brother's long confession. "Because you failed to properly handle your relationship with your younger siblings, your younger siblings fell into Qi Benhu's tricks. Not only did your husband and wife fall apart, but your younger sister was also involved, and in the end, you even bothered your younger sister to help you break the situation?" "Yes." Listening to his elder brother's summary, Su Bingwu's head hung lower and lower, almost touching his chest. Su Bingwen put down his wine glass, raised his eyebrows but lowered the corners of his mouth, his serious expression was exactly the same as Su Changfeng's when he was training his son. "You said you have something to ask me, but it's about the way of husband and wife?" Su Bingwu nodded vigorously, his face full of frustration and self-blame. "My brother and I are the only brothers in the family. The elder brother and the elder sister-in-law are very harmonious, but I am ashamed that I have made such a fuss, and my sister has been involved. Brother, you can teach me, I really don't understand" "What do you not understand?" Su Bingwen has always been a good brother who cares about his younger siblings. Although he is angry that his stupid younger brother has dragged his most precious younger sister, but everyone begged him in front of him with a face full of guilt, so he could only suppress his anger. , solve the problem first. It's just that the way of husband and wife is really not his strong point, so he can only take one step at a time. "I don't know how to please her, how to treat her well. At first I thought I did a good job, but what happened this time gave me a big ear" Su Bingwu said more and more Discouraged, he suddenly picked up the jug and took a big gulp. "Even if I was laughed at by my colleagues, I have never set foot in the land of Fengyue. I treat the servants in the mansion as nothing, and stay by her side whenever I have free time. I really thought I had done a good job, but I didn't expect that she would doubt me With my sister. Although there are reasons for provocation by others, what I have done is not enough to make her completely trust." "This matter is not your fault alone." Seeing his younger brother so uncomfortable, Su Bingwen couldn't help but feel relieved In a word, his expression softened a little. "Pleasing people is nothing more than doing what they like. You said that the unhappiness with your younger siblings this time was caused by that jade hairpin?" "That's right," Su Bingwu said aggrievedly, "I didn't know she loved this thing, otherwise I would definitely be happy." I will find another item to give to my younger sister." After all, compared to suet jade, Ranqing actually prefers colorful gemstones. If it weren't for the rare quality of the jade, Su Bingwu would not have bought it. Hearing this, Su Bingwen couldn't help frowning. "You don't know what your younger siblings like?" "She never mentioned it to me," Su Bingwu shook his head, "I also asked people around her, and they all said that she has no preference." Su Bingwen simply didn't know what expression to use to face his stupidity. Brother, "Everyone has preferences, and now it turns out that she does have preferences, doesn't she?" "Then why didn't she tell me?" Su Bingwu was puzzled. "Why do you have to be told to know?" Su Bingwen resisted the urge to touch his forehead and asked back. "But but my sister will tell us what she likes and wants directly?" Su Bingwu was confused, "And my mother is also, every time I ask my mother what she likes and wants, she will tell me."" You don't think that all women in the world are like mothers and younger sisters?" At this moment, Su Bingwen deeply felt that the elder brother was not easy. Sighing, he patiently explained to his stupid brother. "There are tens of thousands of people in the world. Although they are many, they are all unique. Women account for nearly half of the thousands, so they are naturally different. Some women are as generous as their younger sisters and mothers, and they are willing to put their own I like to tell people close to me frankly. But there are also women who are more reserved. They don¡¯t say it outright, and they just wait for someone who cares to notice it. For example, your sister-in-law has never told me about her preferences, but I know most of them. Second brother , you should be more careful with women." "It would be nice to tell me clearly, why do I have to guess? Brother is smart, so he can guess right. But if I If I guess wrong, wouldn't it be self-defeating and let her More unhappy?" Su Bingwu was distressed. "It's just because of your personality." Su Bingwen patted his stupid brother's drooping shoulder, "Besides, this is also a way for them to test, to see if you care about her enough. As long as you put your heart into it, she will always be satisfied." After drinking two pots of aged wine with his stupid brother, Su Bingwen finally sent Su Bingwu away in the cold wind of the bright moon. Quickly going back to the inner courtyard, I saw Qin Siqiao's shadow on the window, wearing a coat and doing embroidery by candlelight. Hearing the movement, she hurriedly stood up to greet him. "Didn't someone send a message?" Su Bingwen said while changing his coat under his service. "It's been a long lunch break today, and I feel very energetic up to now." Qin Siqiao changed the subject after finding a reason, "By the way, how is the second brother?" "It's okay," after thinking Think, Su Bingwen still said. "I'll go to my second sibling more these days." "Okay." The two chatted a few more words, and after a while, the candles in the room were extinguished. On the other side, the princess mansion was still brightly lit. There were figures hurrying back and forth between the corridors of the Quyuan, they were not maids and servants, but rows of guards. Holding torches in their hands, they walked through the mansion, their faces more dignified than usual. And the maids who were supposed to be serving everywhere, except for a few, stayed in their own rooms peacefully.The dream is in full swing, but some dare not fall asleep with their eyes open. The latter, obviously, far outnumbers the former. Before, Ranqing took advantage of Su Jiu's letter to take a step ahead. On the one hand, he deliberately left space for Su Bingwu and his wife to have a good talk, and on the other hand, there was indeed something to do. "All gone?" In the minimally decorated study room, Ran Qing asked Su Jiu who was sitting behind the large desk. "Miss Hui, Zhang Huai just came to report that there are still a few spies who have not been lured away, and they are all sent by the palace." Su Jiu replied. "It's okay," Ran Qing said, standing up, "Call Qian Cheng." "Yes." Qian Cheng is now the chief guard of the princess's mansion, responsible for the safety of the mansion. Naturally, he should be responsible for the thief in the mansion this time. So after Qian Cheng entered the room, Ran Qing's angry reprimand came from the room after a while. When he came out, he lowered his head and slumped his shoulders, feeling very depressed. Fortunately, even though he was scolded, Ran Qing didn't intend to dismiss him. "This princess doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again." Ran Qing who came out together said to Qian Cheng in a calm voice. "Yes!" Qian Cheng replied sonorously, and then walked away quickly as if holding back his energy, thinking about how to strengthen his defense while walking. After reprimanding Qian Cheng, Ran Qing also went back to her room. After a quarter of an hour, Ranqing's boudoir was plunged into darkness. By the moonlight, one can vaguely see the dark shadow reflected on the gauze curtain by the bulging quilt on Ba Bu's bed. What is unknown is that at this time the owner of the boudoir is in the secret room directly below this room. "Do you need a basin of cold water?" Sitting upright in the rosewood grand master's chair carved with exquisite patterns, Ran Qing looked at the man in black who was tied up below, and said calmly. Hearing this, Ying Jiean, who had been pretending to be dizzy for a long time, finally opened his eyes. Standing up with some difficulty, he met Shang Ranqing's half-smiling eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, even though he was in a mess, it was hard to hide his aristocratic demeanor. "You saved me again," he asked again after a pause. "Why?" "It's just curiosity." The indifferent tone as always made the reason sound a little less convincing, "The majestic Duke of Cheng'an sneaked into my princess' mansion in the middle of the night just to steal this Nether Grass, what exactly is the picture? "You know I won't say it." Ying Jiean pursed his lips, looking as if he would not speak to the death. "Then what if I say that the Nether Grass is still intact in my mansion?" Ran Qing signaled, and saw two men in black carrying a flowerpot in. In the flowerpot was a slender orchid grass that was black in color but glowing with a faint blue light. But it is the Nether Grass. As soon as the two came in, Ying Jie'an's gaze was fixed on the Nether Grass. Then he looked at Ranqing again, his eyes bursting with determination. "I still won't answer your doubts, but I, the Ying family, can exchange something else and owe you a favor." Ran Qing shook his head, "I don't lack anything from your Ying family, and I don't need your Ying family's favor." Ying Jiean frowned. He had also heard the rumor that Princess Anle liked rare treasures, especially flowers and plants. To her, this Nether Grass should be just a temporary curiosity. And the Ying family also has a lot of rare treasures, so it's not a bad idea to exchange a few more for the Nether Grass, which is related to the whole family. What's more, you can get a favor from the Ying family. You must know that the second and fourth children of the Su family are all serving in the military camp under the Ying family. One can imagine the value of this favor. In Ying Jie'an's view, this is a happy event for both parties, and Su Ranqing has no reason to refuse. But in fact, Su Ranqing did refuse. Ying Jie'an calmed down after being stunned for a while, recalling the situation before he fell into a coma, his sharp eyes suddenly shot at Ran Qing who was sitting on a high place. "You set it up on purpose!" Seeing that Ranqing didn't deny it, Ying Jie'an couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart. He was so scheming at such a young age, first deliberately let him steal the Nether Grass, and then ordered someone to rescue him who was besieged by the people sent by the royal family, and split into two groups. A group of people transported him back to the princess mansion without anyone noticing, and a group of people took the Nether Grass to lure away the royal family. After all, if the Nether Grass was destroyed, no matter how much their Ying family jumped around, it would be futile. It's a pity, if he didn't guess wrong, it was just a pot of fake grass. But, how did Su Ranqing know that they were planning to play Nether Grass? What is the purpose of making such a fuss? Thinking of it this way, he looked at Ran Qing with some doubts in his eyes. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Miss, Zhang Huai asks to see you." "Come in." Ran Qing ordered the door to be opened again. Zhang Huai strode in, saluted and said. "Miss, the Nether Grass has been destroyed." "Well, where are those people?" Ran Qing asked. "Those people are quite cautious and are now searching under the cliff. But there is a torrent under the cliff, no matter what it is, it will be futile." Zhang Huai replied. "Very good, let's go." After Zhang Huai stepped back, Ran Qing looked at Ying Jie'an again, and said meaningfully. "Now, there is no Nether Grass in the world." Ying Jie'an glanced at the black orchid grass with a faint blue light, and the scorching heat in his eyes was ready to come out. Looking back at Ranqing, he clenched his fists tightly, but he still spoke. "I can't say." (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
