First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 403 Shut Up or Die

So now, after listening to Wei Ling talking about his parents, Su Jixiang could understand why he didn't want to live after he avenged his parents.

After all, he was suffering so much being alone. Revenge was originally his belief and pillar. After accomplishing this task, he could not find anything to do...nor could he find the purpose and meaning of his life.

Su Jixiang took Wei Ling's arm and gently leaned his head against his side. "If your family hadn't encountered such a misfortune, you would be very happy now!"

Wei Ling felt Su Jixiang's soft body leaning against him, and the familiar faint fragrance and warm body temperature came from her, which made Wei Ling's heart melt into a ball of water.

"Now that I have you by my side, I am very happy!" Wei Ling said with a smile.

Su Jixiang's eyes curved, full of tenderness.

Suddenly her body felt lighter and she was carried up by Wei Ling!

Su Jixiang couldn't help but exclaimed. Although it was not the first time that Wei Ling took him flying, the sudden take-off still scared Su Jixiang.

"Be careful!" Su Jixiang said lightly, but there was no trace of complaint in her eyes.

"I'll take you to the Moon-Watching Tower!" Wei Ling said with a smile. The wind blew past the cheeks of both of them, blowing up his hair, making him look even more flamboyant and unrestrained in the dark night!

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Su Jixiang was taken by Wei Ling and flew directly onto the eaves of Wangyue Tower.

The Moon-Watching Tower is the tallest place in the entire Duke's Mansion. It is a tower-like building, about six stories high.

Not to mention the Duke's Mansion, even in the entire capital, except for the Star-Picking Pavilion in the Imperial Palace, this is the highest-ranking place in the capital!

The Zhaixing Pavilion has seven floors, which means a seven-story pagoda.

As a subject, naturally one cannot be higher than the emperor.

Therefore, when the Duke's Mansion built the Moon-Watching Tower, it only had six floors.

"This is what my grandfather built for my grandmother." Wei Ling helped Su Jixiang sit down on the eaves, and then he sat beside her, hanging the lantern in his hand on the side. "When my grandfather married my grandmother, he knew that my grandmother missed her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, so he demolished a courtyard and built this Moon-Watching Tower. My grandmother's maiden name was Qin Wangyue, so this place was named after her. Although you can't see the south of the Yangtze River from here, you can see the night view of the entire capital!"

Su Jixiang looked into the distance, and sure enough, the entire scene of the capital city was within her sight. Although it was night and she could not see anything else, the lights that were lit in every household at night were like a layer of shining stars under the feet of her and Wei Ling.

When the wind blows, take a deep breath, and your mind will become exceptionally open and peaceful!

"After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother came here every day to watch the scenery outside." Wei Ling said softly, "We came here to find my grandmother. She lived directly in this building." He held Su Jixiang's hand, "The men in our Wei family don't take concubines, don't have concubines or mistresses, and if they get married, they will be devoted to their wives all day long. My ancestors were like this, my grandfather and my father were like this, and I am the same."

Su Jixiang's face felt slightly hot, and a warm current seemed to flow slowly through his heart.

Although this is a common thing in modern times, this is ancient times, and it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

It is not easy for the Wei family to achieve this!

There was a fire in the Duke's Mansion, but the Moon Watching Tower was not affected.

Wei Ling pointed to various places below and showed them to Su Jixiang, "Look, over here is Qianhua Garden where I used to live. Next door is Wanhua Realm, where my sister used to live. Over there..." He pointed to a brightly lit place, paused, and said slowly, "Over there is Fenghua Residence, where my parents used to live!"

Su Jixiang looked in the direction Wei Ling pointed. Fenghuaju was located in the center of the entire Duke's Mansion, a very large courtyard.

The Duke's Mansion is now basically pitch black with only a few lights on, but the inside of Fenghua Residence is illuminated as brightly and transparently as a glass world.

Looking down from the eaves, one could vaguely see people moving back and forth, a prosperous scene that formed a sharp contrast with the dark and deserted surroundings. Even the candles and lanterns lit in Pingletang where they were temporarily staying could not compare to the bright lights in Fenghuaju.

Su Jixiang hugged Wei Ling gently, "Don't worry, your uncle won't live here for long. This house will still be yours."

"Yeah. I know. I don't care about this. It's not good to have a bad reputation. Anyway, I don't have a good reputation outside now." Wei Ling nodded and smiled.

Su Jixiang poked his firm shoulder, "What nonsense!" She laughed, "You are naturally good in my eyes!"

Wei Ling was amused by Su Jixiang and laughed even harder, "That's just what you said!"

The two of them talked and laughed for a long time on the Moon-Watching Tower.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, before Su Jixiang and Wei Ling got up, they heard someone arguing outside.

"What time is it now? After all, our master is the elder. Why doesn't this junior who has come from afar come to pay his respects?" A slightly sharp female voice was heard.

Su Jixiang and Wei Ling had been traveling for days and went to bed late last night, so Su Jixiang was still asleep.

She vaguely heard the sounds outside and poked her head out of the cup in a daze.

As soon as she raised her head, Wei Ling pushed her back. "You don't need to pay attention to it. Just go to sleep." He said to Su Jixiang with a smile.

As for the noisy person outside, his eyes darkened, and he waved his sleeves. With a whoosh, the two doors that were originally closed were instantly opened, and then a cold star shot out, and then the door closed again with a whoosh. The speed was so fast that Su Jixiang couldn't even see it clearly.

"Get out of here! Or you will die!" Wei Ling roared.

While she was still trying to look around, Wei Ling had already embraced her in his arms, "Continue to sleep!" Wei Ling rubbed Su Jixiang's head with his chin and said in a hoarse voice.

There was a scream from outside, and then no other sound.

Su Jixiang suddenly realized, "You didn't kill anyone!"

"That's not the case. After all, she is the one my uncle married." Wei Ling said slowly without even opening his eyelids, "I just scared her and told her to shut up."

"What did you throw out?" Su Jixiang asked curiously.

Wei Ling's movements just now were so fast that she couldn't see clearly.

"It's nothing. Just three copper coins and a dagger!" Wei Ling said lightly.
