Chapter 209 Equally Shameless
"I told you I wasn't lying to you, but you didn't believe me." Qian Rong proudly raised her head.
"Okay, okay, I admit I misunderstood you this time."
It's not surprising that Baoxing didn't believe it.
Because in her eyes, both the young master and the young mistress were very gentle people.
She felt that their relationship should be like that of a loving and harmonious couple.
Moreover, the interactions she had witnessed between them were roughly in line with his expectations.
How should I put the scenario that Qianrong described to her?
That sounds a bit too cloying.
Xiao Fu quietly moved the chair a little further away from the two of them.
I wonder if the two of them have noticed something.
They're quite affectionate.
I should have known she would bring Xiao Wu along.
At least I don't have to face the current situation alone.
Now all we can do is pray that the shadow play starts soon.
Don't ask why she didn't find a seat by herself.
The answer is that you have to pay for it yourself; she's stingy.
And there's more bad news.
Because they arrived early, the shadow play wouldn't start for a while.
The good news is that the upstairs and downstairs rooms are gradually filling up with people.
Whispers could be heard from the surrounding area from time to time.
It allows her to ignore the two people around her.
Wei Dongning couldn't bother chatting with Gu Peiyan anymore. She rested her chin on her hand, turned her head, and listened attentively for a while.
Almost everyone was talking about what happened yesterday.
Especially those located at the scene of the incident, the number of people discussing it is even greater.
Having heard it so many times, even without seeing Xiao Wu's broadcast, Wei Dongning could already recreate yesterday's scene in her mind.
"Gu Peiyan, did you hear what they were saying? I'm a little curious, will people like Lord Kuang and Madam Yang receive any punishment in their situation?"
"Neglecting personal morality is a serious crime. However, if Madam Kuang and Lord Yang both choose to let the matter rest at this point..."
He didn't need to finish his sentence; Wei Dongning understood what he meant.
If neither of the two victims pursues the matter, they probably won't be punished.
Or, at most, they will receive some symbolic punishment.
Therefore, they can only observe and let it go in this matter.
As for how the Yang and Kuang families will get along in the future, and what the young couple will do, that's up to them to figure out.
Wei Dongning nodded thoughtfully, let out a long "Oh," and then changed the subject: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
The topic changed so quickly that Gu Peiyan almost couldn't react: "Didn't we just have breakfast? Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I'll think it over in advance so I don't have to come up with something later."
"There's nothing I want to eat right now. I'll think about it after the show. There's no rush."
Sometimes Gu Peiyan also admired Wei Dongning.
Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.
No matter what problems she faces, she can calmly ask, "What are we eating later?"
If there weren't no official positions for women in this dynasty, her mindset would make her perfectly suited to seeking an official post.
They will definitely achieve something.
If Wei Dongning had mind-reading abilities, the first thing she would do upon hearing Gu Peiyan's current thoughts would be to crack open his head and see what was inside.
She seems like such a diligent person?
She can't even be bothered to keep track of the household accounts, yet he wants her to go to work?
They're insane, absolutely insane.
After Wei Dongning finished her third pastry, the shadow play finally began.
Gu Peiyan stopped thinking and focused intently on the plot in front of her.
Today's performance tells the story of a poor scholar and his wife who support each other through thick and thin, and how the scholar eventually rises to a high-ranking official position and petitions for an official title for his wife.
It was even more moving than the one she and Wei Qiuci watched yesterday.
The gentle, enduring affection moved Wei Dongning to tears.
Gu Peiyan, however, was thinking about something else entirely.
He should try harder.
When he achieves fame and success, he will also seek an imperial title for his wife, A Ning.
He wanted to do everything in his power to give A Ning everything he could get.
Gu Peiyan turned her head and gave Wei Dongning a deep look.
She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears: "You're crying like a little kitten. When we go out, people will think I'm bullying you."
"It's not that bad, it'll be fine in a bit." Wei Dongning took his handkerchief and grinned, showing her big teeth.
She's easily moved to tears; she cries easily when watching touching scenes.
She couldn't control this situation either.
Since she finally had the chance to go out and have some fun with Gu Peiyan without any worries, Wei Dongning dragged Gu Peiyan around several streets and markets in the capital for a long time.
If there were a WeChat step count leaderboard in this era, she would definitely be number one in her circle of friends.
The result of walking all day was that neither Wei Dongning nor Gu Peiyan could get out of bed the next morning.
The reason is simple: I haven't walked like this in a long time, and my legs are sore.
Even Wei Dongning, who exercises every day, couldn't withstand this intensity, let alone Gu Peiyan, who usually neglects exercise.
"It's a good thing you're resting today, otherwise someone would definitely have interfered with your book." Wei Dongning stared at the ceiling of the bed and sighed weakly.
Gu Peiyan closed her eyes, but her tone was very firm: "It's okay, taking a day off is not a problem."
"Gu Peiyan, I've noticed you seem to be going astray."
"Perhaps it's just my nature."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize you could be as shameless as me."
"It's not too late to discover it now."
Do other people even know what you look like?
Gu Peiyan opened one eye, glanced at her, and quickly closed it again: "Why should others know? They are not my wife."
Is this sentence used in this context?
"of course can."
"Okay, when are you planning to get up? I'm hungry."
"You're hungry." Gu Peiyan and she said these three words at the same time.
The unspoken understanding between them made Wei Dongning want to laugh.
Sure enough, living together for a long time really does increase your level of understanding and rapport.
He can now accurately predict what she's going to say.
Wei Dongning smiled slightly, and an idea immediately came to mind: If Gu Peiyan were nurtured more, would she be able to talk less in the future?
However, she only thought about this idea briefly before giving up on it.
Communication between husband and wife is still very important.
I originally thought that there would be no follow-up to the matter of Lord Kuang and the others for some time.
Unexpectedly, when Gu Song returned, he brought them the latest news: "You two should have heard about the matter between the Kuang and Yang families, right?"
"I've heard about it. Does Father know as well?"
"It's not just me; who in the entire court doesn't know? Even the Emperor has been alarmed."
Wei Dongning's eyes widened immediately.
Gu Peiyan was also somewhat surprised.
Shameful incidents happen every year, and this year they keep happening every few days, which is getting a bit annoying for the Emperor.
Gu Song continued, "The time for the officials' assessment is approaching, and His Majesty has decided that this year's assessment will focus on the officials' private morality. Anyone found to have breached private morality will be dealt with according to the severity of the offense."
With the imperial examinations approaching, the emperor decided to cultivate some new talents.
