Moonlight Exposes the Works of a Concubine's Daughter Marrying into Royalty The Thoughts of a Princess, Thirty-First Time is Like a Slaughter Knife

  Hiding behind the screen with her sisters, Jiujiu was grateful for the first time that ancient times had many rules.

  A woman in the boudoir can't let an outsider see her casually, which avoids her running into Ouyang Jing. Hehe, even if Ouyang Jing wants to settle old scores from four years ago, he won't have a chance, right?

  Of course... under one roof, you can't hide from the beginning of the year but can't hide till the 15th, but if you can hide then hide!

  Just as the ninth sister was lost in thought, a young man wearing a dark blue robe with silver silk cloud-patterned edges and a round collar walked steadily into the hall. The eyes of everyone in the hall also fell on the young man.

  The young man had a slender figure, with striking and deep facial features, slightly dark skin, a pair of slightly raised black-golden eyes, and an air of being crisp and concise in his movements, yet still elegant and refined, which gave him a unique charm that captivated people's hearts.

  The hall suddenly fell silent, and the Wen family sisters behind the screen were even more wide-eyed, with Jiu's eyes being the largest.

  Ouyang Jing!!!

  Am I wrong?

  It seems... it doesn't seem like it, because although that figure has been stretched out, those five features still vaguely resemble the appearance of old.

  Some people say that time is a butcher's knife, and now this sentence is used here, it couldn't be more appropriate... That rolling little pig head is gone, replaced by the robust and handsome young man in front of me.

  "Long time no see, old lady!"

  Ouyang Jing stepped forward and saluted the elderly lady sitting at the top of the hall, her low and melodious voice once again captivating everyone's heart.

  The old lady hurriedly laughed and let him get up, then began to lavish praise on him without restraint.

  Ouyang Jing also knew the situation and tactfully flattered Old Lady a few words, which made Old Lady and everyone present nod their heads in approval.

  The queen and the madam's faces were even more smiling like flowers.

  Ouyang Jing again paid his respects to the madam and others, naturally accompanied by a round of praise, which instantly created an extremely lively atmosphere in the hall.

  "... Last spring when I followed my mother back to our hometown, I also saw my cousin. At that time, he was still so fair and clean, but now he's become so dark. It must be the result of being exposed to wind and sun in the military camp..."

  Behind the screen, Liu Jie also started discussing Ouyang Jing with her sisters, saying words of regret, but the tone in which she spoke was unmistakable.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but secretly glance at the sixth sister, remembering what Aunt Xu said that day about the madam's idea of strengthening ties between the two families, and it seemed that the Wang family also had similar intentions.

  Does this little girl know?

  "I think Brother Biao is more heroic this way." The seventh sister nodded in agreement with the sixth sister in a low voice.

  "Really?" The triumphant look on Liu Jie's face became even more pronounced.

  What heroic spirit?

  Jiuer didn't look at Ouyang Jing again, how could she not see it? From that handsome face with a subtle smile and those dark golden eyes, she only saw a hint of arrogance and carelessness.

  The mountains and rivers can be changed easily, but one's inherent nature is hard to alter. Ou Yang Jing has thoroughly transformed herself, she really doesn't believe it.

  It turns out that Jiu Jie actually misjudged him, as Ou Yang Jing has been following the rules and being polite since he arrived at Wen Fu.

  During the day, he went out on official business, and at night, he either closed his door early or read books at Wen Jieyue's place.

  Although he occasionally strolled around the mansion, he never lingered in the inner courtyard and certainly didn't bully or tease the servants.

  Jiujie couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease and also started to resume her daily routine of attending classes in both Qingya Pavilion and Qifang Pavilion.

  She was afraid of being bumped into by Ouyang Jing, so she had been pretending to be ill for the past few days, lying in her room every day and not going out.

  On a winter afternoon, the sunshine is rare and good, but the air is still cold, and there are piles of unmelted snow under the flower trees by the roadside.

  Jiujie wore the new cyan lotus grey fox cloak made by Jiangshi, with a cyan apricot on her collar, walking quickly on the winding path in the garden, heading straight for Qifang Pavilion.

  Because of avoiding Ouyang Jing, she has not attended Su Shifu's embroidery class for three times. Adding to that, Su Shifu was busy with embroidery and did not teach them twice in the past few days. Calculating it, she has not seen Su Shifu for over ten days already, and she really misses him a bit, wondering if Su Shifu is still doing well...

  "Whoosh——"

  But then there was only one sound, accompanied by two shrill cries, and two sparrows suddenly fell in front of her eyes.

  Jiuer was taken aback, and Qingxing suddenly blocked her way, shouting "Who's there?"

  "Brother, you're so awesome, killing two birds with one stone!"

  But soon a voice gave the two an answer, Liu Jie'er, wearing a crimson red dot gold thread small jacket, rushed over quickly, and even pointed at a pair of sparrows on the ground, excitedly shouting at the people behind her.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but rub her temples.

  She said, how did she run into him as soon as she left the pass?

  "I've seen Eldest Brother, Third Brother! I've seen Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister!" In her heart, she was secretly calling out in distress, but on the surface, she had already put on a full smile and bowed to greet several people.

  But then ——

  The sixth sister hummed a little, seemingly not paying much attention, and instructed the maid beside her to pick up those two sparrows.

  Qī jiě ér zhèng duì zhe shēn biān nà shēn zhe bái máo jiàn xiù de ōu yáng jìng xiào yíng yíng de yīn qín gōng wéi, méi kòng lǐ tā.

  Translation:

  The seventh sister was smiling and flattering the one wearing a white python arrow sleeve next to her, Ouyang Jing, but she didn't have time to pay attention to her.

  But Ou Yang Jing seemed to have not noticed that there was still a big living person in front of him, and he just focused on adjusting his leather cuff.

  In the end, the only one who returned her gift was Wenfu's third young master, Wen Chongri.

  "I heard a few days ago that Ninth Sister was ill, has she recovered now?"

  Although Na Wen Chongri was a well-known spoiled brat in the mansion, she had a good heart. At this moment, facing this situation, he feared that she would be embarrassed and tried to make conversation with her.

  "Thanks for your concern, Third Brother, I'm fine now!" Jiuniang hastily said.

  "Third brother, you're busy, I'll leave first." The unwelcome response was just right, giving her a quick chance to retreat.

  Until she sat down in Qifang Pavilion, Jiuniang's heart still couldn't calm down.

  Looking at Ouyang Jing's deliberate behavior just now, I also know that he still remembers the matter four years ago. At that time, he didn't say anything about it, so what does he plan to do this time?

  Four years ago she had just become one of the nine sisters, was there anything improper about her behavior? Would it make him suspicious...

  "Nine Sisters..."

  "Older sister..."

  Just as she was lost in thought, her sister called out to her from the side. She snapped back to reality and only then did she realize that Su Shifu had appeared before her eyes at some unknown time.

  Her face suddenly turned red, and she hastily lowered her head to fiddle with the embroidery frame.

  "This is uncomfortable again, I'll have someone send you back!" Su Shifu said anxiously on the side.

  The ninth sister originally wanted to say nothing was wrong, but suddenly remembered something and nodded.

  Su Shi Fu immediately had a sturdy maid support Jiu Jie out of the door.

  Being treated like a patient and half-supported, made Jiuniang very uncomfortable, so she walked for a while before telling the maid that she had forgotten to bring her trunk.

  That girl hastily went back to help her carry it, and she quickly walked forward.

  But just after turning the corner and entering that alley, I ran into someone, who was none other than Ouyang Jing...

  ……
