An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

At the end of the month, Sang Ling finally found some time. Madam Zhaoyu accompanied the Queen to Tianliang Dade Palace to pray for blessings. The affairs in the accounting office were settled for the time being, and she, the wife of the second young master, could finally take a vacation.

Taking advantage of the invitation from Dai Chengjun a few days ago, the two of them got together and set up a table at Xiankelai one afternoon.

Sang Ling was not dissatisfied at all - it was better than following the men here and being a silent vase.

The three of them drank a little fruit wine, which was not too strong, so they were not drunk.

It is in this state of being slightly tipsy that the words that people have been holding back in their stomach can be released freely.

"You said he was bad, so he was bad. Today you say he is good, so he is good?" Dai Chengjun's cheeks were flushed, and his face was obviously dissatisfied.

This is from the classmate Le Shuo Xun Jin.

Not only Sang Ling, but also Dai Chengjun had doubts about this Xun Shizi. When Ban Le first married, he was a typical scumbag. Not only did he stand by and watch when his family bullied his wife, but he also took a concubine in the first year.

How can things be turned around in the blink of an eye?

"Then of course it's fine." Ban Le hesitated, as if his secret had been exposed.

The Ban family daughter's former flamboyance has now disappeared visibly to the naked eye.

Sang Ling silently withdrew his gaze from following.

Dai Chengjun didn't know whether he was really drunk or was just taking advantage of the tipsiness to make things clear - he moved over and sat down relentlessly.

"But tell me, if your sister-in-law wants to embarrass you again, how will he help you out?"

"How are the two concubines you have in your courtyard arranged? Are they still serving you now?"

"He will certainly help me out!" Ban Le's eyes dodged, "Since the two concubines have come in, they will naturally serve him."

"But you haven't made any move yet!" Dai Chengjun's tone also rose, "Don't I know you? You think you can't resist anymore, so you just want to end it all, but you're afraid of being looked down upon. I feel sorry for you, so I have to say this to save face--"

"That's enough!" The Ban girl simply stood up and interrupted her.

Both daughters looked a little overwhelmed and had difficulty standing steadily. Fortunately, there was a little maid waiting beside them who supported them.

"You still don't admit it." Dai Chengjun said.

Sang Ling finally sighed and stood up, separating the two people. "I see that you are both drunk. Let's stop here today and go back to rest. We will meet again when we are free another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving the two men a chance to recover, he waved to the servants on both sides to come over and take away the belongings of his wives and daughters one by one.

"No, I'm not drunk at all." Dai Chengjun pulled Sang Ling up again, "A Ling, I can drink quite a bit, I can still drink more with you guys."

His alcohol tolerance was not bad, and he was not completely drunk. But it was this level in between that was the most frightening. While he still had some consciousness, he became even more daring, saying whatever he wanted and doing anything he wanted.

Just like now, seeing Sang Ling not talking, Dai Chengjun insisted on going back to Mu Wuhou Mansion with Sang Ling. The Dai family servants couldn't stop him, so they kept saying, "I don't want to go home, you all leave, I'll go back with A Ling."

Sang Ling had no choice but to signal the Dai family's servant to pass the message back to the Dai Mansion while he led Dai Chengjun to his own carriage.

……

When the two men returned to the mansion, it was already 12 o'clock and the sky was about to get dark.

After getting off the carriage, he walked all the way from the front yard, passed Jingsi Residence, and unexpectedly ran into Nie Guang by the flower bed in the front yard.

This person usually takes his cat out for a walk. Instead of walking in the flower garden in his own West Palace, he goes to the East Palace.

Sang Ling glanced at Jingyuan, a street away, without revealing any expression, and had a rough idea in his mind. After all, he had a lover here, so it was not surprising that he was hanging around nearby.

When the eldest brother and his sister-in-law met, they just nodded and greeted each other silently.

Nie Guang glanced at Dai Chengjun who was beside Sang Ling, but his gaze did not linger on him for long. Instead, after the two passed each other, he stared at Sang Ling for a long time.

Sang Ling himself did not notice this gaze, but Dai Chengjun caught a glimpse of it when he turned around after the drunkenness wore off.

He was still thinking about this matter even after he entered Wuyuan and drank a large gulp of water.

"Who was that person just now?"

Sang Ling had just dismissed the servant who was lighting the lamp in the house, and turned around to answer, "He is Nie Ce's cousin." After a pause, he added involuntarily, "He is from the West Mansion."

"Why did he look at you like that just now?" Dai Chengjun crossed his legs.

Sang Ling then sat down opposite her and poured himself a bowl of water. "How do you look at me?"

"After we left, he kept looking at you. That look..." Dai Chengjun narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "very..."

After saying this, she looked around the room again.

Sang Ling looked over for a while and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Is your husband home?"

Sang Ling shook his head.

"Where did you go?" Dai Chengjun asked.

"I've been in Ping County for a few days. I don't know how long it will take to return."

"Oh." The youngest daughter of the Dai family raised her eyebrows, supported herself on the felt mat and moved forward a little, facing Sang Ling, and lowered her voice.

"Nie Ce's cousin, could it be that he has a crush on you? He looks so weird."

"You like me?" Sang Ling couldn't help but smile, completely speechless.

Nie Guang had Su in his house and his incestuous aunt Zhang outside. How could he still have time to fancy his cousin's wife? The Second Young Master's wife smiled for a short while before she gradually faded away. If Nie Guang looked at her in a strange way, he would always stare at her straightly when they ran into each other in the garden a few times, which made people feel creepy.

For this reason, Cheng Ao had also thought about it several times. Sang Ling naturally knew what her current appearance was like. Since she had restored her appearance, many people would be stunned when they saw her. She was not surprised by such looks.

People are visual animals, just like when she sees something with a beautiful appearance, she will stop her eyes involuntarily.

So she never thought about whether Nie Guang's admiration for her was just superficial or whether he really had the intention of usurping her.

If it is the second type, then the nature is completely different.

The girl's white fingertips rested on the table, and she couldn't help but think. She didn't even realize that her eyes were gradually losing focus.

Dai Chengjun was now fully awake and still nagging, "Just tell me, did he often look at you like this in the past? That look was really scary, as if you were a piece of meat he was eyeing, and you never know when he would pounce on you and eat you alive."

The last word fell for a long time, but there was no response from the other side. "A Ling?" Dai Chengjun's voice woke her up.

At this time, the sound of dripping water came from the corridor. I don’t know when this rain came, and it was accompanied by gusts of cool breeze. It was already late autumn.

Sang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, but then smiled warmly, "It's late, I'll arrange for someone to take you to the wing room."
