After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Ning Miao had just returned to Fangfei Garden when Jin arrived.

Jin rarely came to her place. Ning Miao knew something must have happened. Her first reaction was that Jin might have known what happened at the Bai Ri Qing Feng Inn.

"Mother." Ning Miao greeted her meekly.

Jin said kindly, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Yes, I have used it."

Ning Miaoxu helped Jin sit down on the soft chair. Jin held her hand and asked about her well-being.

"Thank you for your hard work in the shop. I heard that your method is very good and the business is very good. I am very pleased, but you don't have to work too hard."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I will."

"Mother wants to ask you for help with something." Jin said.

It seems that it is not a daytime thing.

Ning Miao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Mother, please speak."

"I have a niece who is about your age. Her mother asked me to choose a husband for her from among the several eligible men in the Yan clan."

"I want to invite a few of my sons to my house tomorrow to have a look. Can you not go to the shop tomorrow and stay at home to help mother take a look?"

"You are smart and capable. You can revive the shop that has been losing money for a long time. Mother is very optimistic about you and believes in your vision."

Ning Miao didn't expect this to happen.

I'm not really willing to do that.

"This... isn't good, is it? Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, and I'm an outsider..."

"How can you be an outsider? You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion. Besides, you are just helping me to look around. I am not asking you to make the decision. I just want one more person to check on things."

Seeing Jin say this, Ning Miao couldn't refuse.

After all, Jin had always treated her well, and she had also acted like a filial and sensible daughter-in-law.

So I had to agree: "Okay."

Jin left satisfied.

The bathroom was filled with hot mist.

The water temperature was just right. Yan Mobai leaned against the wall of the bathtub, letting the warm water flow over his shoulders and taking a nap with his eyes slightly closed.

The image of the woman with seductive eyes, her arms around his neck, pulling him down, and offering her red lips to him appeared in his mind again.

The images in his mind kept changing, the way she leaned over to kiss the back of his hand, the way her breasts suddenly revealed, the way she bit his Adam's apple...

His throat rolled, he felt a heat rising from his abdomen, and he opened his eyes.

He forced himself to regulate his breathing, and his originally hot eyes and brows became cold.

-

The next day, when Yan Mobai returned home from court, he saw several people sitting in the octagonal pavilion in the front yard, drinking tea and chatting.

One of them was particularly eye-catching, as he was the culprit who bit his lip yesterday.

Today she was wearing an apricot brocade dress and was obviously wearing makeup, looking radiant.

Sitting with her around the stone table were three young men.

Yan Mobai knew these three people, they were all sons of Yan's relatives.

The four of them seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

"What's going on in the mansion today?" he asked.

Chi Feng shook his head and said he didn’t know.

Lan Ying replied, "I heard that the eldest lady wanted to find a husband for her niece, and asked Madam Ning to help her choose one."

Lan Ying and Chi Feng, one is lively and the other is taciturn.

Lan Ying usually has a good relationship with everyone in the mansion and loves to inquire about small gossips, so he is basically the first to know the inside scoop in the mansion.

Niece?

Yan Mobai looked puzzled.

How come he remembered that the Jin family had only nephews and no nieces?

Moreover, there was only that woman in the pavilion, meeting her husband, so why wasn't the niece present?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't intend to pay any attention to them.

He glanced at that person deeply, without stopping, pursed his thin lips, and went straight back to Fuxue Garden.

-

In the pavilion, Ning Miao held the cup and drank tea silently, looking at the three young men in front of him who were vying to show off, and he always maintained a decent smile.

She just found out not long ago that Jin's niece did not come to the visit today.

Jin said that the other party was shy and embarrassed, so she asked them to help her look at him.

Judging from the performance of these three people, it is obvious that they all want to marry Jin's niece.

She found it funny, but also a little sad.

They had never seen Jin's niece, yet they were rushing to see her.

I think he wants to establish a relationship with the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

After some conversation, Ning Miao had a general understanding of the family backgrounds of the three people.

Their family backgrounds are all very ordinary.

If you want to know a person's character, you can't just look at him and say it. Ning Miao suggested: "Do you three like pitching pots? How about we play a game of pitching pots?"

"It's up to you, Madam."

Snow Garden

Yan Mobai sat at the table, wiping his sword.

As he wiped the dirt, he casually said, "What's going on in the front yard? Keep an eye on those three people and their servants, in case they are someone else's spies again."

Knowing that their master has always been cautious and careful, Chifeng and Lanying did not suspect anything.

“It is said that those three are the sons of the Yan clan’s relatives. They should not be spies.” Lan Ying replied.

Yan Mobai raised his eyes: "There are always some people who can get in everywhere."

Lan Ying thought about it and agreed.

"Then I will go around and find out more."

Yan Mobai: "Yeah."

About an incense stick of time later, Lan Ying came back with a gossipy look on his face.

"I didn't see the eldest lady's niece. I heard she didn't come. It was always Madam Ning who accompanied the three of them."

"I don't know whether it was Madam's idea or Madam Ning's suggestion. There are so many tricks, it's like a princess choosing a prince consort."

"There were pot-throwing and archery. When I went over, three people were playing musical instruments. One was playing the zither, one was playing the flute, and one was playing the long pot. Madam Ning was sitting there enjoying the show."

"It can be seen that the three of them are trying their best to show off to Madam Ning. If you don't know, you would think that Madam Ning is choosing a son-in-law."

After he finished speaking, he saw his master raise his eyes and shoot a cold gaze at him, and then he realized that he had said something wrong.

"What I mean is that Madam Ning is kind-hearted and is really helping Madam's niece choose."

After he finished speaking, he saw that his master's eyes had become even colder, and he realized that what he had said might not be appropriate.

"You went out to explore, and this is all you found?" Yan Mobai asked in a cold voice.

Lan Ying quickly replied: "I also noticed that Madam Ning seemed to be quite satisfied with the man in white. She cast admiring glances at him many times and praised him several times..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Mobai in a deep voice.

"What I care about is whether those three people and their followers are spies for others, but you didn't mention a word about it!"

Blue Shadow: “…”

Didn’t you also ask what the current situation in the front yard was?

So, he understood the whole thing.

Moreover, to find out whether he is someone else's spy, you have to check his background. It is impossible to find out by just going out for a walk.

Lan Ying felt aggrieved, but didn't dare to say much.

Yan Mobai frowned slightly and said, "Forget it. They will only stay in the mansion for one day anyway. It doesn't matter if they are spies. They can't dig out any useful information."

Red wind and blue shadow are silent, it has always been like this.
