An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

In the next two days, Nie Ce still did not return home, and Sang Ling did not sleep in the bedroom. He stayed in the main room with Cheng Ai.

Old Mother Cheng doted on Sang Ling and said a few words, "It's against the rules." Seeing that Sang Ling always ignored her, she stopped talking. But she couldn't help but think about the couple again. She couldn't control Nie Ce, so she could only let Sang Ling talk more and take the initiative to break the deadlock.

Up to now, Sang Ling just listened with one ear and let it out with the other, trying to be perfunctory.

Mrs. Cheng is an elderly person as well, and there is no old person who doesn't like to nag. Just go along with her. If you talk to her, she will only nag more.

Now the only ones who could really help her were Zong Xiang and Wei Chu. However, in the matter of Nie Guangzhang, Wei Chu assisted more. On the second day, he took time to take Wei Chu to Ruyi Pavilion. Originally, he was going to greet Su. Not long after, Nie Guang also came. The three of them sat opposite each other. At first, they exchanged polite small talk. Later, Su knew very well how to read people's eyes - she cried out that she was tired and went back to her bedroom.

Sang Ling smiled and signaled to Wei Chu, who then quietly left the room.

Now that they have their own connections in various academies, it won’t be long before Zhang will know about it.

It was rare to see Sang Ling come to Xifu on his own initiative, and Nie Guang couldn't help feeling emotional.

"It's so rare for me to see you." There was a natural hint of intimacy in his words.

"It's rare for me to come here." She could only cooperate with the performance.

Just hearing this sound, his whole body felt numb. Nie Guang poured her a glass of ice drink, his eyes and brows couldn't stop showing excitement. How could he bear it when a beautiful woman with such a vivid appearance was in his room?

"Ling'er." The hand that put down the copper cup subconsciously crossed the table.

"Brother, why are you like this?" But the jade-like arm was quickly retracted, leaving only a faint scent of hibiscus.

After being reluctant for so long, he lost interest in it. For the first time, Nie Guang showed a moment of impatience and clicked his tongue softly.

In fact, if it were someone else, he would have lost his patience long ago - it was because the Sang family girl was so beautiful. He had done so much, it would be a pity if he still didn't succeed in the end. Besides, he was very good in bed, and as long as the Sang family girl experienced it, she would be the one she couldn't leave.

Therefore, he had to be patient before he could get it. Nie Guang repeatedly warned himself in his heart, smiled awkwardly and took back his hand, trying to think of something to say to put the matter behind him, but he saw the Sang family girl pointing at his waist, "Brother, your jade ring is very unique."

He took it off casually and said, "If you like it, why not give it to you."

……

At 9 o'clock, Sang Ling had just passed the gate of Ruyi Pavilion when he ran into Zhang Shi who was rushing in. Nie Guang was following behind him, and the smile on his face disappeared the moment he saw the person in front of the door.

The two looked at each other, both silent. If you just look at Nie Guang's expression, you really can't tell that they are lovers. He looks more like a son controlled by his mother. She couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart: most men are like this, they love with all their strength, but once the love is gone, it can all turn into annoyance.

This time, no one spoke first. She certainly would not rush to be a punching bag. She looked back and nodded to Nie Guang, smiled at Zhang, and left the garden.

As for what will happen between Zhang and Nie Guang, our spies will report back later.

The news came back in the afternoon, saying that Zhang left Ruyi Pavilion at 3:00 p.m. She seemed calm on the surface and nothing could be detected from her movements.

It seems that the two are more likely to reconcile.

Then Sang Ling would of course strike while the iron was hot and continue to fuel the fire.

The next day, after dinner, she took Wei Chu to stroll around Jingyuan. Zhang Shi did not stop her from coming back.

"My second nephew's wife has a lot of free time. She doesn't have to run the household anymore and run around every few days."

The two sat facing each other, Zhang held the fire hook and stirred the charcoal fire in the copper basin, her face was ruddy, and the gentle satisfaction in her movements said it all. Sang Ling didn't believe these things before, but now that he has experienced human affairs, he knows that this thing can really be seen.

Her eyes followed the fire and fixed on the slightly swaying flames. "It's already spring, and Fourth Aunt is still burning charcoal in her room."

"I can't stand the cold. If I take good care of myself, I'll get pregnant." She couldn't hide her pride in her words.

If this had been said in the past, Sang Ling might not have thought too much about it, but if it were said now, one could not help but think that Nie Guang and Zhang had been having an affair for quite some time, and it was not possible that Zhang had not been able to get pregnant with two men in a row?

I paid close attention to Zhang for a while. This woman was actually quite pitiful.

"I'm fine, I just burn charcoal in winter, but in the spring another batch of charcoal was delivered to the backyard, and it's useless to just leave it there. If you're afraid of the cold, Fourth Aunt, I'll send someone to deliver it tomorrow?"

"No, I have enough here."

The two of them are clearly aware of the conflict between them, so who wouldn't be on guard?

Sang Ling just smiled and said nothing. She placed the ear cup on a corner of the table. The glass ear cup accidentally fell onto the felt carpet. She quickly bent down to pick it up. At that moment, the jade ring with dragon pattern on her sleeve fell out.

Wei Chu was standing by and picked it up quickly. The maid was so hasty, as if she was trying to hide something.

"What did you drop that makes you so anxious?" Zhang's eyes stayed on her sleeve. Sang Ling had no choice but to evade with an embarrassed look, "Nothing, just a toy I wore."

"I've never seen you wear anything, but you put the toy you're about to wear into your sleeve?"

She laughed silently.

"Look at how curious you are. What a wonderful thing you have. Why don't you show it to me?"

"Then I'll take it out. Fourth Aunt, please don't be angry." The Second Young Master's wife had a half-smile on her face.

One sentence was equivalent to conveying everything. What would make her angry if she took it out? The dust was looming under the light, and Zhang's face suddenly changed several times.

"Take it out." She tried to keep her tone steady. Then she heard the person on the other side smile coquettishly, as if someone was humming in triumph.

"I didn't want it originally—" the voice of the Sang family girl lingered in the room, and as she spoke, the jade ring in the shape of a dragon biting its tail was placed back on the table. The afterglow in front of the window was pouring, and the white jade was also dyed a light yellow, which merged with the flames in the copper basin. Everything in front of Zhang seemed to be covered with a halo, and the fire hook in her hand fell with a "clang".

It really is Nie Guang's——

"But my eldest brother insisted on sending me off. Fourth aunt, you said that although my fourth uncle also has to live in the manor from time to time, he spends more time at home than Xuanwen. Why do you have to fight with me? Besides, my eldest brother likes me more now. Why don't you back off? My eldest brother said that he is actually in a difficult situation."

"What did you say?" She really didn't expect that Sang would confess as soon as she opened her mouth.

"He said that compared to us, you are a generation lower than us after all..." Sang Ling said softly.

The voice slowly stopped, and there was no other sound in the room. From entering the mansion until now, Zhang thought that she had seen enough absurd things - including her and Nie Guang, it was the most absurd. She had no way to turn back, and there was no room for her to turn back... But the daughter of the Sang family came from a noble family, and married a figure like Nie Ce, and now she was coveting her things.

Even the humiliation was laid out nakedly before her eyes.

She wanted to pick up the fallen fire hook, but as soon as she moved, her legs became weak and she could only kneel upright on the table.

"Did he ask you to come over and tell him?" She didn't know how to ask.

"In a few days, he will explain everything to you clearly." The person on the other side answered.

This face was so hateful. It was just beautiful - just beautiful, it could easily take away her things, and even look down on her and spit on her the whole time.

She actually knew Nie Guang's attitude. Even though they reconciled that day and she used both soft and hard tactics to make him stop associating with the Sang family girl, he still avoided the topic.

Until today, just one day had passed, and the girl from the Sang family came to provoke her... Why, why did she just want to snatch it from her!

She couldn't help but stretch out her hand...
