An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

If you have something weighing on your mind, you will never be able to sleep well.

Nie Ce said unhappily that although Sang Ling lay down in a bad mood, if he wanted her to cooperate in doing other things at night, he could forget about it.

To fulfill the ritual of family love, both parties must be happy. If one party is in a bad mood and unwilling to cooperate, the ritual cannot be completed.

Young Marquis Nie turned over to hug her as usual, but she blocked him with her elbow. How could he not know that Sang Ling was angry? It was normal to be angry when the question he wanted was not answered. But he didn't want to end up like last time.

Although he didn't want to talk about what happened here - after all, it was a scandal in the inner palace.

But he was even more unwilling to continue to be in a cold relationship with Sang Ling, so he took away her hand that was blocking his way. With only one hand of the young general restraining him, it was difficult for the girl to break free.

Nie Ce was just thinking about saying something softly, but unexpectedly, the man beside him swept his elbow across and quickly moved it downwards, not only easily getting rid of his hand, but even turning over and pinning down his entire arm.

The whole set of movements is completed in one go, showing both skill and tenacity.

"Where did you learn this?" He didn't try to avoid her, but just let her press on him.

"Why do you mind me?" The Sang family girl said with anger in her tone, snorting, "Your family is full of secrets, so don't ask about my affairs."

After he finished speaking, a clear sneer was heard from inside the tent. Sang Ling frowned, and in just a moment, his body suddenly flew into the air.

Nie Ce raised his arm and carried her whole body on his shoulder, with her head hitting Cheng Chen. Even though she tried her best to push down, it didn't work at all.

Women and men have different physiological structures, and this guy is bigger than her. Even if she knows some fighting skills, she can't resist the absolute suppression of strength. And Nie Jialang didn't feel sorry for her at all. He immediately grabbed her waist and threw her over his shoulder, clamping her under him.

The only bit of conscience he had was that he knew to free up one hand to protect her head.

"If you have the guts, wait until I'm ready." She gritted her teeth in anger.

"Okay." The young general replied quickly, and he actually half-sat up, even pulling her up with him. He moved back a little, and knelt with his legs slightly apart.

This posture...it seemed that Nie Ce was serious about competing with her.

Sang Ling Bu Yu was stunned for a long while. This guy, he wouldn't really want to fight with her, right?

Even though she was still angry, she was not completely confused. She only had some basic skills, so how could she really beat Nie Ce - a general who trained in the army every day and was a serious soldier...

After pondering for a moment, she had to find another way. She strictly followed the three mantras that Cheng Ai always repeated: act coquettishly, give in, and let go.

She immediately raised her cherry lips, frowned her brows, and then softened her tone, "Nie Xuanwen, do you want to hit me?"

Nie Ce's expression froze, and he uttered, "Aren't we sparring?"

He saw that she had some talent and just wanted to give it a try.

"I think you just want to hit me." Unexpectedly, the Sang family girl lowered her eyes and sniffed. She looked over again and her tone became even thinner. "You think I shouldn't ask, right?"

The Sang family's daughter's plain face without heavy makeup was originally cool and gentle. After they consummated their marriage, they delayed their bedtime. At present, her eyes were faintly blue and slightly red. She looked at him with her eyelashes pressed against her back, as if she was a ceramic object that would break at any moment.

No matter how stupid a person is, he can't stand it.

Unable to bear it any longer, Young Marquis Nie was stunned for a moment. After a moment of being at a loss, he had no choice but to sigh and wanted to hug her back to comfort her.

Who would have thought that when the hand was only halfway there, she would be asked to grab the arm and hook it, using both hands and feet.

He was pinned down again.

"General Nie, all is fair in war, you know?" The girl's tearful look just now disappeared, and her tone was now full of pride.

Nie Ce could only shake his head, feeling helpless, and couldn't help laughing twice, "Okay."

He seemed to have really accepted his defeat.

Sang Ling finally raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief. After a night of tossing and turning, who would have thought that she would actually fight with her husband in bed. But she was also very happy. How many people in the entire empire could pin down this general of chariots and cavalry, Lord Mu Wu, and beat him up?

She planned to take the opportunity to ask about Zhang's matter again.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, this guy grabbed one of her feet. This time, he didn't bother to use brute force. Nie Ce simply tickled the soles of her feet twice. Without using any strength, Sang Ling naturally retreated.

He immediately stood up, turned the tables and pressed forward again, "All is fair in war."

"I don't want to play anymore." The daughter under him couldn't hold it in any longer.

After this real-life training, the two of them were really lying flat.

Nie Ce was fine, his breathing was still steady. Sang Ling took a long time to calm down, but he was not sleepy. After a while, he said in a calm tone, "Nie Ce, either you tell me directly, or I will go directly to Zhang. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the family. If you want to protect her but not me, I will accept it."

In fact, she said this just to provoke him. She was not going to fight to the death. Regardless of whether this mansion was good or bad, it was her only place to stay. She knew she couldn't do anything rash. The reason why she had the leeway to force Nie Ce now was because she knew that he had always been kind to her, and even after the marriage was consummated, he was a little doting on her?

In short, in front of Nie Ce, she was indeed bolder than in front of other people, and dared to confront him directly with words.

But after a long time, Sang Ling still couldn't hear his answer, so he turned his head away.

"Not called Xuanwen anymore?" Nie Ce said.

She found it a little funny. This guy just inherited the common trait of most men of this era. He would give in to soft words but not to hard ones. It seemed that what Cheng's mother said was right.

When dealing with men, you have to use gentleness to overcome hardness.

She then glanced at the top of the tent, stammered for a moment, and whispered, "Xuanwen."

"I can't hear you." The young general also started to deny it.

Sang Ling couldn't help laughing. She moved closer, her pink lips moved, and she blew a breath gently. Nie Jialang shuddered and looked at her. She immediately raised her voice, "Xuanwen!"

He covered his ears and hissed, "Can't you be more delicate?"

She giggled, and had no choice but to hold him for a while, then hold him again for a while, and then move closer again, "Xuanwen, tell me quickly, okay?"

In order to get to the truth, it's okay to lower your posture.

Obviously Nie Ce was very impressed by this. He closed his eyes in enjoyment and folded his hands in silence for a while. After the elation wore off, he slowly opened his eyes.

But he pursed his lips and thought for a moment, his face became more serious, "Fourth Aunt is restless, and with Big Brother..." He skipped this sentence and said, "I always go home at night, and I have seen what they did. So you said that the servant is Zhang's person, I guess it is most likely Big Brother behind it."

Hearing this, Sang Ling widened his eyes and lay back down. It was not Nie Ce who didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhang family, but Nie Guang...

But if that were the case, the whole thing would be very clear.

Nie Guang had an affair with Zhang, and used Zhang's hand to poison the wedding wine.

Madam Zhaoyu was the head of the household, so she might have known all these secrets and traced back to Nie Guang.

Although this person is not an heir, he is at least the eldest grandson. Now, among the direct descendants of Grandfather Nie, only Nie Guang and Nie Ce have reached adulthood. The fourth grandson Nie Fei is only seven years old, and it is unknown what the future will be like. The life span of ancient people was not long, and it was easy to die from a minor illness. Nie Zhuo from the third room was even more of a fool. From the daily morning and evening visits, it was known that Grandfather Nie valued the direct bloodline the most. If it was really Nie Guang who did this, he might not be really punished for a while.

No wonder Madam Zhaoyu has such an attitude.

"Then..." Sang Ling swallowed his saliva. In fact, what he wanted to ask most in his heart was: If Nie Guang was finally captured by force, what would be the most likely result? But after thinking about it, he felt that this question might not even need to be asked.

Judging from their attitudes, they all knew what was going on. It was estimated that Grandpa Nie and his second uncle and aunt would protect him. His second uncle and Nie Ce were still working for the emperor.

The family has fallen out with each other, so is Nie Ce still going to handle the task at hand?

So I had to ask first, "Do you know why he wants to kill you?"

In fact, there are many possible motives that could be related to this, most notably disputes over family property.

But she wanted to hear it from Nie Ce more.

After he finished speaking, he let out another deep sigh. The young man stared at the veil above his head, and his voice was slightly dry.

"The year I rescued the governor from the northwest, my eldest brother was selected to serve as an official. My grandfather expected that I would be retained in the capital. He was afraid that if there were too many people in my family who served as officials, their achievements would increase the risk of the emperor's suspicion, so he ordered my eldest brother to resign and return home."

"My eldest brother was unwilling to give up. He had always studied very hard. He could read at the age of four and was well-read at the age of ten. At the age of twelve, he was sent to the Zhijiamen Academy by his grandfather. I heard that he ranked first in the assessment that year."

"It was to make way for me that he had to stay in the mansion to help with the housework."

At the end of his speech, he seemed to be choked up.

"I never thought that my brother and I would end up like this."
