Second Marriage - Chapter 31
Ye Shen was not surprised to see Huo Mingwu here. When he came today, he knew that there would be the current situation.
He dared to come because he had a clear heart, and the only fault was that he didn’t take the initiative to inform her identity, which caused her misunderstanding.
If you say that you have a guilty conscience, it is only at this point, and it happens that this point makes the two people have a future intersection, so he does not regret it. Even if she had to face all kinds of suspicions after she got the truth, she didn’t regret it.
Ye Shen met Huo Mingwu’s sharp gaze, raised his chin slightly, and even the emptiness disappeared.
Huo Mingwu was indeed shocked to see Ye Shen here, and soon understood that the Taoist leader in Xiao Youning’s mouth was the person he had previously thought was the least possible.
A person who is famous for being cruel and cruel will save the daughter of a criminal minister many times. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe it.
But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have to think more.
Huo Mingwu finally left Ye Shen to look at Xiao Youning standing nearby.
Behind the little girl is a low bush. She always likes to wear bright colors. That green color sets off her charming and charming as a daughter.
An orphan, an adult man who is deeply favored by the emperor and only deals with conspiracy and tricks.
Ye Shen’s purpose is ready to come out!
“you……”
“Brother Huo, you are here.”
Seeing that he had been standing stupidly, Xiao Youning smiled decently and took the lead in blessing him. Huo Mingwu just wanted to question Ye Shen for concealing his identity. He hesitated, but was interrupted by Xiao Youning, making his face pale for a while, and he hesitated even more if he wanted to open his mouth again.
The person in front of him was Ye Shen. Ye Shen, who was known to be unscrupulous by means of achieving the goal, immediately exposed whether Ye Shen would be unhappy with him.
He is not alone, there is an elderly mother in his family, and today is the day when Xiao Youning is moved to another place. Telling Ye Shen’s identity will remind her of the Li family again.
Huo Mingwu’s face was green, as if a big rock was pressed against his chest, suffocating him. He knew clearly that no matter what he was thinking about right now, it was only out of a truth… he was afraid of Ye Shen!
Very afraid!
Huo Mingwu seemed to be in a desperate situation, struggling to advance and retreat, facing the truth with no strength to resist.
“Brother Huo?” Xiao Youning noticed that his complexion was not good, and called him suspiciously.
Huo Mingwu gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Shen again. After a glimpse, he found that the sword sound beside Ye Shen had put one hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist.
If he opened his mouth to say something, he should be sealed by a sword.
“Nothing, congratulations on moving to a new home today.” Huo Mingwu closed his eyes, after all he suppressed the impulse first.
Xiao Youning did not doubt that he had him, nodded, then walked to Ye Shen, and introduced him: “Brother Huo, this is the Taoist Master I told you. If it weren’t for him, my life would be really bad. .”
Huo Mingwu turned a thousand times in his heart, smiled reluctantly, and threw a fist towards Ye Shen. The fear goes to the fear, but I still want to do something.
“We know it.” Ye Shen lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the surprised little girl after hearing the words. There was an unknowingly soft light in his eyes, and he said clearly, “I know Huo Qianhu.”
His words paving the way for the confession fell in Huo Mingwu’s ears, almost causing the opponent to bite his back molars.
This hypocrite, villain! Huo Mingwu scolded in his heart, he did not dare to show his real name, but pulled him closer to the muddy water. It is unclear to say that the two knew each other. Later, Xiao Youning knew Ye Shen’s identity, did he also hate him for not reminding him today.
And this sentence is threatening him Huo Mingwu, right!
Sure enough, he is a scheming person!
If Huo Mingwu could lose his temper, he would have to jump three feet high on the spot at this time, but he didn’t dare to expose it face to face, so he could endure a blue vein on his forehead.
“You know?”
Xiao Youning is not a fool, and has already sensed that the atmosphere between the two is not right.
Looking at Huo Mingwu’s appearance, it seemed that he was on fire but couldn’t break out, so he looked hideous. She’s not blind, she just meets and it’s a strong smell of medicine, how is this like acquaintance, is there a grudge?
She chuckled in her heart, her inquiring gaze wandered between the two, what is going on?
“Yes, know.”
Huo Mingwu acknowledged the sentence aggrievedly, Ye Shen looked at him with his eyelids, and found that he shut up after saying this sentence.
Shouldn’t you tell Xiao Youning?
Ye Shen looked at him lightly, and realized from Huo Mingwu’s aggrieved expression in the blink of an eye.
Huo Mingwu was jealous of him and did not dare to expose his identity to Xiao Youning.
“laugh……”
Unexplained laughter suddenly sounded.
Xiao Youning and Huo Mingwu both looked at Ye Shen who was laughing, and saw Young Master Yumian press his fist against his lips, the tail of his eyes raised slightly. Such an expression is like a genuinely happy smile.
But Huo Mingwu knew that Ye Shen was not, because Ye Shen glanced at him lightly while laughing, which was mocking him!
“But you.” After Ye Shen smiled, he held his hand behind him.
He originally thought Huo Mingwu valued Xiao Youning more, what kind of love and love he was, but… when he saw him, he didn’t even have the courage to expose it.
I really don’t blame him for laughing.
Xiao Youning was stunned by this dumb sentence, nothing but Err, what the Daoist was talking about was so profound that she could not understand.
Xiao Youning doesn’t understand, Huo Mingwu understands, Ye Shen is scolding him!
“Well, won’t you take me to visit your new house? I’ve been standing for a long time.”
Ye Shen wanted to take advantage of the trend and confess, but Huo Mingwu didn’t give a little help and didn’t say it. On the contrary, he could look for opportunities more calmly.
Today she moved to a new house, and she was in a good mood. I’ll talk about it later, and she will suffer both scolding and beating him.
He stretched out his hand and pulled the still confused little girl. He said he was letting her lead the way, but he walked ahead.
When Huo Mingwu saw him holding Xiao Youning’s hand openly, his heart twitched, his face pale.
“Daoist…Did you have a holiday with Brother Huo?”
Xiao Youning was dragged by him and walked a few steps before reacting, stopped in front of the emerald apricot tree, and looked up at him.
The little girl’s eyes were all seeking knowledge. Ye Shen’s gaze fell on the Martial God Huo Ming, who was already about to follow, and he was sure to reply to her: “Yes.”
Love rivals, isn’t it just a holiday.
Both are men, knowing each other’s thoughts at a glance, without the intuition of verifying.
“Ah…” Xiao Youning opened her mouth in embarrassment.
There were footsteps behind him, it was Huo Mingwu who came, Ye Shen and him one after another, she was like the middle piece of a thousand-layer cake.
Xiao Youning was distressed.
What’s this called? Is the capital so small? How could they both have no enemies.
“Let’s go in first and sit down and drink tea.” Xiao Youning gave up thinking about it, took out the posture of the host, and reached out in a gesture of inviting the two of them.
What else can she do, she can only let the two not fight first.
With Xiao Youning’s deliberate dealings, Ye Shen didn’t show his possessive desire for her anymore, and Huo Mingwu didn’t show too much emotion in front of her no matter how he held his breath.
Huo Mingwu felt that he should watch Ye Shen die.
Ye Shen threatened him not to say that because he was afraid that Xiao Youning would sit down and resent when he knew it, but there was no impenetrable wall in the world.
He can not click, but can guide.
Ye Shen will always let him eat the fruit!
As a result, the rivals of their respective plans got along inexplicably and harmoniously, and a luncheon was so harmonious that Xiao Youning had to suspect that he had been suspicious before.
She held her face to see the two toasts occasionally, but still couldn’t guess what the two of them could have for the holidays.
Could it be because of the noble man the Daoist is working for?
Satiated with wine and food, Huo Mingwu and Ye Shen avoided the topic of Xiao family father and son today, trying to make Xiao Youning more happy, and the hosts and guests enjoyed the banquet.
Ye Shen said goodbye first, and Huo Mingwu left when he saw that he could be free and easy, so he couldn’t show his petty spirit and do things that depend on others.
Xiao Youning sent the two to the screen wall, thinking that Ye Shen had brought the cage, and wanted to ask him why he didn’t stay today. When she talked to her lips, she caught a glimpse of Huo Mingwu and looked over. She slapped her spirit and suppressed her unreserved thoughts.
She was really crazy and kept doing inappropriate behaviors.
That is the Taoist!
In her heart, Wu Ye was the master of Taoism, and she said silently several times that she was a monk, and said goodbye to the two with a smile.
Little did she know that her dodging eyes betrayed her emotions. Ye Shen turned her eyes away and looked at the reluctances in front of her, and even at the roots of her suddenly red ears. Although she didn’t know what the little girl was thinking, she definitely wanted to keep him.
There is just a person in the way.
Ye Shen remained calm, leading the sword sound to go out. Huo Mingwu finally found the opportunity to speak to her alone: ”Sister Xiao, the heart is complicated, don’t look at the surface!”
In a short sentence, it couldn’t be more obvious.
Xiao Youning watched Huo Mingwu leave in a hurry, lowered his head and began to think about the weirdness of the two of them today, slowly pacing back.
Outside, when Huo Mingwu mounted his horse, he found that Ye Shen’s carriage had left.
He sat on the horse, reined coldly and rode away.
He must find a way to get Xiao Youning Shao and Ye Shen to contact. The other party has been in the palace all year round, but in case he really makes him do anything to Xiao Youning…he must regret his death!
However, Huo Mingwu couldn’t think of it. As soon as his horse ran out of the alley, Ye Shen’s carriage slowly returned from the other end of the alley under the lantern with Xiao character.
Ye Shen got off the carriage, Jianyin looked at him speechlessly, but their father didn’t need to communicate with each other, so he entered the door calmly.
Xiao Youning returned to her room, just about to sit down, trying to clarify the purpose of Ye Wuye’s gift today, she heard that Ye Shen was here.
Yuanguo said strangely: “Did the Taoist leader drop something?”
Speaking of going out first, when he came to the door, he saw Ye Shen walking into the yard with wind under his feet and wide sleeves.
“Daoist.” Yuanguo blessed him, and wanted to announce it inside, but was pinched by the expressionless sword sound directly on the back of his neck to the side.
Yuanguo yelled, attracting Xiao Youning to probe, but the light in front of him was blocked by the coming youth, and more light was blocked by Ye Shen closing the door.
For a moment, she stood up and stood up on the round table and called him suspiciously: “Daoist?”
Ye Shen stood upright, feeling the peace before confession.
He said: “My last name is Ye, and I am fifth in the family.”
Xiao Youning’s world became silent. The surroundings were so quiet that there was no movement at all, and even the sound of Yuanguo arguing with Jianyin outside the door could not be heard.
She tilted her head, in his extremely serious expression, slowly said: “What…what did you say?”
Her heart was thumping, she clearly understood the meaning of his words, but she asked without any meaning. What was the reason for asking this, her mind was messy again, and she couldn’t think at all.
Now only the sentence that he had declared his identity, Pan Heng, remained in her mind for a long time.
Ye Shen knew that she would not be able to accept it for a while, so he looked back at her and said firmly and clearly: “My last name is Ye and my single name is Shen. I rank fifth in the Ye family.”
As he informed again, all the emotions finally exploded in Xiao Youning’s mind, causing her to take a step back unconsciously.
But there was still room to retreat behind her. She bumped into the round table, her back hurt, and she was about to crook in embarrassment.
The plain wide sleeves appeared in front of her in time, covering her arm, and under the plain cloth was his powerful palm holding her arm tightly.
The familiar cold scent from him rushed into her breath, and the two were very close. What she saw in a panic was the peak of his cold eyebrows, and the dark eyes under his thick eyebrows were deep and invisible.
The extremely cold face made her pull her arms abruptly, and took another step to the side.
Ye Shen didn’t pull her forcibly, but retracted his hand, stood still again, and looked at her slightly pale face. She looked like a frightened little animal, and her eyes were wet with water vapor, which made people feel very guilty.
“You Ning, I have no intention of concealing my identity. Seeing that you misunderstood the explanation that should have been given, I kept silent about the subsequent troubles. This is my fault, but there is no calculation, including dealing with you.”
He turned back to say the whole thing, even if she might wipe out the slightest affection she had for herself.
The man with a firm heart is wrong. He came with a sincere attitude and continued: “I did something wrong. You should be annoyed, and I deserve to be annoyed. But you can’t deceive me because of annoyance. No matter how much suspicion, other charges are placed on me for no reason. I have only this wrong.”
Xiao Youning was really beyond his head.
The rumored Ye Wuye was cold-blooded and cruel, entering and leaving the prison, a sharp blade that the emperor wielded. Such a person, but now she told her that he could not be convicted more, he only deceived his identity.
He sounds like asking her for mercy.
She suddenly hit the spirit again, feeling ridiculous for her thoughts. She was helpless with an orphan, where could she have the patience to convict others, not to mention that it was Ye Wuye. Such an attitude compared to Ye Shen made her even more confused and even flustered.
What does he mean.
It was strange that when he was Wu Ye, no matter how indifferent he was, she thought he was gentle. But knowing that he is Ye Wuye, no matter how gentle he is, it makes people fear inexplicably.
Xiao Youning clung to the round table with one hand, only staring at him without saying a word.
She fell in Ye Shen’s eyes like this, she really looked like a little animal that was very defensive against hunters. If he had any more words and movements, she would flee.
Ye Shen sighed secretly, it seemed that his reputation was really bad. The little girl who could not be driven away with cold face before became scared after he revealed his identity, and he couldn’t eat her again!
But what else to do? He had guessed her resistance long ago.
Let her slow down, give her a few days to sort out the timeline, and it might be better for him to show his mind.
Ye Shen reluctantly persuaded himself in his heart, and said to the little girl who was guarding him: “I should go back to the palace. Today I have pushed out an official.”
He moved manually by his side, intending to reach out and touch her hair to say goodbye, but her bloodless face made him give up, put his eager hand behind him, and opened the door.
When the door was opened, light surged in, slightly dazzling.
Xiao Youning breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting him to suddenly look back.
The young man bathed in the halo smiled at her slightly, his eyes appearing particularly bright under the light and shadow. He said: “I am really homeless in the capital. You promised to take me in, and you can’t give up.”
It was the first time that she saw him such a pure smile, like a big boy, facing the light, without any gloom, some were as warm as the sun.
The sound of Yuanguo and Jianyin’s quarrel also stopped at this time. The two of them were staring with big eyes, and soon, the footsteps of the master and servant who turned back disappeared.
Xiao Youning was still standing in the original position, staring at the opened door in a daze.
Yuanguo asked her a few words about what the Taoist said and did when she closed the door, but she did not answer. It took a long time for her to fall into a chair without strength and muttered: “What is homeless? So pitiful, it’s actually because of the grace of life-saving.
Isn’t Ye Mansion so big outside, not more comfortable than her small house?
“What?” Yuan Guo didn’t understand, so he tilted his head and looked questioned.
Xiao Youning still did not answer, but slowly stood up, returned to the room, fell on the bed and covered her eyes with her arms.
She was reminiscing about what happened to Ye Shen.
From the time she met when she was abandoned by the Li family, the inn met and the village asked for help. She was seriously ill and was hanging by a thread. He drove her to seek a doctor. Also, they brought her to Qingfeng Temple, helped her find a place to stay, and secretly helped her to force a confession to calculate her.
Everything is for her good.
After arriving at Qingfeng Temple, he clearly had to leave himself alone. She had forcibly agreed on a date and looked forward to meeting him.
But for a moment, Xiao Youning understood it.
Judging from the encounter, it was a coincidence. His help was out of good intentions. There was indeed no trace of calculation, and she had nothing to calculate.
She had never asked him about his identity, even the name of Wu Ye was called by Yuanguo, and he had never deliberately deceived.
But today’s confession came suddenly.
When she wondered why Ye Wuye would give him a gift, he actually confessed his identity.
Because of what? Because when I saw Huo Mingwu today, he knew it was impossible to hide it?
So the old lady in Qingfeng Temple is the old lady Ye who has been rumored to pray for Qingxiu in Taoist Temple?
He is not a monk, but the famous Ye Shen.
Thinking of this, Xiao Youning didn’t know if she was happy or should be sad.
“Why is he Ye Shen?” She turned over and lay on the bed instead, buried her face in the quilt, her voice muffled.
She was married to the Li family and almost became her “little uncle”.
What kind of mood did Ye Shen offer to help?
Because he is an elder? Is she a poor junior? Purely moved with compassion?
He loves to touch her head, but it’s not just a look of concern from an elder. If he was so pitiful and begging for acceptance before he left, it would be a kind of comfort for the elders.
Xiao Youning became more and more lost when he thought about it, wailed, and got up screaming. As a result, he bumped his head against the bedpost and wailed again while holding his head.
When Yuanguo came in, she saw her girl’s eyes full of tears. She was so scared that she hurriedly showed her wounds and touched the bulging bag.
So, on the day of the housewarming, Xiao Youning suffered from insomnia until dawn.
But at dawn, her door was knocked open. It was Master Xiao Er who was going to go to the Yamen to pass by.
Xiao Youning yawned, her expression lacking energy.
Master Xiao Er brought the gift with a smile on his face and said: “It should have been delivered yesterday, but I don’t know where you moved. I only found out after several inquiries. Even if you move out, what are the difficulties in the future? It’s time to find your second uncle.”
“Don’t dare to bother your second uncle.” Xiao Youning didn’t bother to play some uncle and nephew’s “deep love” with him again, and gave a narrative remark.
Master Xiao Er got acquainted today and left without saying anything.
After he got on the sedan chair, he lifted the curtain and looked at the mansion with the Xiao-character lantern. He wondered: “How did the girl buy such a well-located mansion, a place where money can’t buy it.” ”
The cabinet ministers who live not far away are not only rich, but also dignitaries!
After Master Xiao Er inquired about where she lived, he thought about it or took a trip, and he has concluded that there are noble people behind Xiao Youning.
But a little girl, what kind of noble person can help.
Thinking of this question, Master Xiao Er showed a disdainful smile on his face. The divorced woman was helpless, and there was nothing to move people apart from beauty.
Master Xiao Er left with his thoughts, and the news that Li’s family was looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage at the princess’s mansion soon broke out in Beijing today.
In the past few days, it was only rumored that a marriage might be about to be married, but today someone saw that Mrs. Li asked a noble lady to bring a gift to the princess mansion. It was true.
The Li family just took a break from Xiao Youning, then turned around and climbed up to the princess as a daughter-in-law.
Xiao Youning who was at home was very sympathetic, and the little girls who had not dealt with Xiao Youning in the past hid aside to watch the excitement, and of course they sneered at her behind her back.
By the time Xiao Youning heard these news, it was already two days later.
Because of Ye Shen’s affairs in the past two days, she didn’t have much energy, but she had thought clearly.
She had any good feelings for Wu Ye, but it was impossible for Ye Shen. It wasn’t that she was annoyed by him to deceive. In fact, she had nothing to worry about. After all, what people helped her was tangible and vivid, and she was annoyed by people saying good or bad.
It was impossible because he was Ye Shen, the younger uncle of Li Qingzhi’s aunt, and the elder of her generation.
Regardless of emotion, reason, or personal, they are just two lines that don’t intersect.
Although he was sent to the yard by accident, it was part of his life-saving grace, so she thought about how to pay the rest.
What’s more, since that day, Ye Shen hasn’t come here for a single word, making her more sure that the other party’s rescue is a temporary kindness.
Ye Shen, who was far away in the palace, didn’t know that he was directly assigned to the elders. Since he returned to the palace, he was still busy with the emperor’s affairs.
Finally, as soon as I sat down, I heard that Li Jiazhen and the Long Princess Mansion were getting married again, and my heart became furious.
“I don’t know what it is!” He cursed coldly, Jianyin blinked and looked at it, “Fifth Lord, is there any order?”
Someone must be unlucky to make them scold someone.
Ye Shen didn’t speak, he stood up and walked out, even the wind brought by the walk was cold.
Jianyin hurriedly followed and realized that he was actually going to the Palace of Qianqing, but when Ye Shen saw the emperor, he didn’t need to ask the emperor anything after a salute, and said directly, “The kid has something to ask.”
He was always indifferent and always wanting nothing. The emperor heard him for the first time when he said he had something to ask for. He pushed away the papers in surprise, and asked with a solemn expression, “What makes you use a begging word?” The word kid is also used, which shows that things are not simple.
Could it be that which minister annoyed him and didn’t want to bear it anymore and asked him to order it to be pulled out and cut?
However, he also watched some old guys upset, leaning on the old to sell the old in the court, it is necessary to find a deterrent.
Ye Shen didn’t change his face and said: “I fell in love with a girl, but for the time being I can’t let her nod and agree to marry me, so first come to ask your majesty for a decree. When she is willing, your majesty will give me a joy.”
The emperor almost froze there.
People who are accustomed to desertedness actually ask him to marry him? !
This is to uphold the girl.
“Which girl wants you to be so exhausted?” The emperor was really surprised.
I never heard of a girl he fell in love with. Where can I see girls who are in the palace all day?
“It’s General Xiao’s daughter, Xiao Youning.” Ye Shen said frankly, the emperor Lao Er was choked by his own saliva, “Isn’t she your nephew’s wife?!”
After the words, I realized that I was too gaffe, and I hurriedly added: “Didn’t you almost become your nephew?”
Ye Shen lifted his robe and knelt down: “The Li family has nothing to do with the Li family, but because of the previous relationship, I came to ask your majesty to grant grace. The minister…The Communist Party was tempted by that girl. Up.”
Looking at the kneeling young man and the word of a minister that Ye Shen never wanted to say, the emperor knew that he was really moving.
The emperor knew what this word meant. For so many years, he was reluctant to let go, but now he let it go.
“Get up quickly, why bother to give such a big gift? By that day, I will surely give you joy. But… where is Ning Yuanhou…”
The emperor finally hesitated to mention Father Xiao, who was still missing, but the words stopped. Ye Shen didn’t mean to ask when he got up, and as usual, he deserted him again.
The emperor sighed sadly as he watched the young man’s departure, and muttered, “Ning Yuanhou, Ning Yuanhou, how can I explain it.”
The waiter next to him glanced at the imperial case and asked to convict Ning Yuanhou’s Zhezi, which seemed a bit difficult to explain.
However, the emperor did not spend too much time on this matter. Instead, he thought of other things and said to the palace people around him: “A few days after the Qiao Qiao Festival, the queen said that he would invite a banquet to make the palace lively? Let the queen give the girl from the Xiao family a gift. A post.”
As soon as the emperor’s order came to light, someone asked for another meeting, and they all made an appointment.
“Why does she run into the palace free of time.”
The person who had time in the emperor’s mouth was the eldest princess who wanted to give her daughter a decree to marry her. She saw the graceful woman had walked to the door and did not lift her foot into the hall, but stood outside and smiled and said, “Brother Emperor. Don’t you want to see me?”
“Why don’t you wait to see me?” The emperor smiled and motioned for her to come over and said, “Look at your blushing face, is there a happy event?”
“No.” The eldest princess saluted, “Brother emperor, your niece is about to get married, and the courtier sister came to ask the emperor brother to ask for a marriage decree, and want to give Huijing a happy girl.”
“Gift the marriage?” The emperor is really strange. Today, one or two of them come to him to ask him for the will of the marriage. Okay, the king will change his job as a matchmaker. “Let’s just say, which Erlang got into Hui Jing’s eyes.”
He is in a good mood today, and he is happy to do such a happy event like marriage.
The eldest princess knew that it could be easily taken, and smiled: “It’s the second son of Li Shilang’s family, Li Qingzhi.”
The emperor narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared: “Who?”
“Li Qingzhi.” The eldest princess was still smiling, but she became cold when she saw the emperor brother, feeling a little uneasy, “Emperor brother, what’s wrong?”
what happened?
He said that Ye Shen was good and liked girls, so he just got married. In the end, he asked for a marriage first. It’s not that he didn’t know the little girl from the Xiao family, she was a dreadful one, and his father and brother had been dismissed by the Li family because of an accident.
He really regarded Ye Shen just to promote her, and finally there was the Long Princess Mansion and Li Qingzhi going to get married? ! In this way, the seniority is really messy, it’s not to blame Ye Shen for asking for marriage first, most of them received news.
The emperor was a little angry. Is his sister going back more and more? What kind of son-in-law does not have, want the kind of man who can’t bear it!
Not to mention what he thinks of the Li family, he relied on Ye Shen’s first step to invite the marriage gift, and Hui Jing and the Li family were not able to marry.
The emperor raised his hand and brought the folded paper that he had just thrown away. He issued an order to leave the guest without raising his head: “I congratulate you. If you give me a marriage, I will give up. Hui Jing really wants to marry Li Zhiqing. I will let the queen add makeup. ”
The confident princess was stunned on the spot when she was rejected.
The author has something to say: a long chapter of 7600
