The Concubine's Rebirth: The Poisoned Wife Does Not Bow Down

Chapter 490 True and False 16
Seeing the eldest lady approaching, Aunt Yue let go of Nie Zhaoyang and took a few steps back, bowed slightly to salute, and then retreated to the seat before her and sat down.

Nie Zhaoyang raised his eyes and looked at the eldest lady, who nodded with a smile and returned a look.

Seeing that the lady took such a long time to come back in the name of changing clothes, she must have already arranged the team of servants who decided to participate in the defense of the city, and Yu Fei, who had followed the lady back to the inner room to change clothes, was not there at the moment. When they came back together, Nie Zhaoyang knew that the lady must have been left outside to wait for news at any time.

Although he knew that the eldest lady had arranged the matter properly, but at this moment, the eldest lady still had to give such an affirmative look over secretly, and Nie Zhaoyang felt a little relieved.

The room was still full of laughter and laughter, and the noise in the whole red bean garden, which was as bright as day, was even more noisy than usual. Everyone knew that it was a dangerous situation, but everyone still thought of a little luck in their hearts, as if they felt that as long as the loud voice suppressed With the constant sound of booming artillery from outside, it is as if the danger can be pushed farther away from him.

Both Nie Zhaoyang and the eldest lady had no intention of continuing to hide it. Although there was a smile on their faces, there was a hint of anxiety and worry in their eyes.

The cannons were still roaring continuously, and every time there was a sound, the chatter and laughter in the room would suddenly fall silent, and then the volume was raised again, laughing and jokingly whitewashing the peace.

Nie Zhaoyang remained silent, while listening to the roaring sound outside, while secretly counting his breaths in his heart.

Gradually, his complexion became a little ugly.

As if seeing Nie Zhaoyang's complexion was not good, the eldest lady took a sip of tea, stretched out her hand and squeezed Nie Zhaoyang's fingers.

Nie Zhaoyang raised his face and forced a smile at the eldest lady, and said in a low voice, "It's already two breaths and one shot."

Hearing Nie Zhaoyang's whispered voice, the eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, but then she listened intently, and her expression changed immediately after listening quietly.

The one breath that Nie Zhaoyang mentioned refers to one exhale and one inhalation, and the two breaths and one cannon refers to the gap between the artillery outside.

Although he was very confident in the return of reinforcements from the nearby garrison, Nie Zhaoyang's heart trembled when he heard the intensive artillery fire from the rebels attacking the city outside.

"it's okay no problem."

Seeing that Nie Zhaoyang's complexion was not good, the eldest lady took a breath, forced a smile with a fairly calm expression, reached out and patted the back of Nie Zhaoyang's hand, and said in a low voice, "Li Weichang takes When I went out, the enemy was weak and I was strong, so I went very smoothly, so I think we should win this bet."

"Ah."

Hearing the eldest lady's comfort, Nie Zhaoyang nodded.

In order not to be seen by others, Da Furen and Nie Zhaoyang did not talk about these things afterwards, but just like Aunt Xiu and the others, listening to the clever little maid standing in the middle of the room and making people laugh.

Regardless of the thoughts in their hearts, at least at this moment, everyone's faces are covering up their thoughts very well.

Although Nie Zhaoyang was smiling like everyone else, his eyes and ears were always paying attention to the movement outside.

While talking and laughing lightly, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Nie Zhaoyang, who was already holding a heart, immediately turned his head, and his eyes swept over the figure who was walking anxiously, and Nie Zhaoyang's eyes flashed. The frown that opened suddenly tightened again.
