Chapter 992 He Gave Too Much

Seeing Qian Qiyue like a cat with its fur standing on end, he rushed forward and wanted to tickle her. Tang Ning hurriedly smiled and shrank on the couch to avoid it. Xue Ru, who was laughing at the side, could not escape the "punishment" and was dragged into the battlefield. The three of them laughed and made a mess.

After a while, Tang Ning couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy, and Qian Qiyue finally stopped.

She pretended to glare at Tang Ning: "Tell me, are you helping Fu Laiqing?!"

Tang Ning's face flushed with laughter, and she nodded honestly: "He gave too much."

Qian Qiyue was annoyed: "You are already the queen, how can you be bribed by him?"

"What happened to the Queen?"

Tang Ning said with a smile, "Fu Laiqing persuaded Mr. Cao to teach Ayao in the future. Mr. Cao comes to Rongsheng Academy to teach once every two months. In addition, the Fu family has a three-hundred-year-old blood ginseng, which is the best sacred product for sharpening muscles and bones. This thing cannot be obtained even with money."

"Fu Laiqing said that if I could ask you for your feelings, he would give half of it to Ayao, regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

With so many things, not only Tang Ning was tempted, but even Qian Qiyue herself couldn't help but salivate over them, but...

She glared: "So you sold me out?"

Tang Ning said quickly, "How could that be? The relationship between you and me is incomparable to anyone else. How could I sell you out for a few personal possessions? I just saw how pitiful Fu Laiqing was, so I asked for him."

"Although you and the Fu family are engaged, the news has never been spread. Few people in the capital know that you are engaged. The Qian family is now at its peak. Your father and three brothers saw that His Majesty values you, so some of them set their sights on you."

"Fu Laiqing is also anxious, so he came to me for help. Although I promised to ask for him, if you don't want to, let alone a three-hundred-year-old blood ginseng, even if it is a three-thousand-year-old one, I will never look at it again."

Qian Qiyue wasn't angry to begin with, and she softened even more after hearing Tang Ning's words. She snorted softly, "Such a silver tongue!"

Tang Ning pulled her to sit next to him: "So what do you think?"

Xue Ru also came up and said, "Yes, Sister Qian, do you like Master Fu? I heard that not only are there people in the capital who are interested in you, but Master Fu is also very popular. Many families want to propose marriage to the Fu family."

Although Fu Laiqing is young and the Fu family currently has no pillar, anyone with a little insight can see that he has a bright future. Although Fu Laiqing's parents are incompetent, he has an uncle who is the left prime minister.

With Cao Dejiang's support, and if Fu Laiqing works harder, he will definitely hold a high position in the future.

The Qian family's marriage contract had never been made public, so there were naturally many people who coveted the position of Mrs. Fu and wanted to bring Fu Laiqing back to their own house. Countless people came to inquire about the matter in a roundabout way, and even beautiful women came up to "accidentally" meet him.

Xue Ru held her face in her hands and said, "On the day of Sister Zhou's wedding, Master Xiao Fu was almost plotted against. If Sister Qian doesn't settle down with someone, what if someone else succeeds in the end..."

"He dares!"

Qian Qiyue's eyebrows were raised.

Seeing this, Tang Ning said softly, "Of course he wouldn't dare, but he can't stand other people thinking too much."

"As long as his marriage is uncertain, the kind of things that happened to the He family will continue. Don't underestimate women's means. If someone really takes a risk, Fu Laiqing may not be able to withstand it."

It had been more than half a year since the death of the Grand Empress Dowager. Due to the return of the wartime army and the changes in the court, the period of national mourning was replaced by three months instead of six months. The white clothes in the capital were gradually removed. The weddings of the Zhou and He families took place just after the national mourning period. Although the weddings were grand, there were not many guests at the banquet. Most of the people who came were relatives and some unavoidable relations in the court.

But in this situation, Fu Laiqing, who went to help welcome the bride, was almost plotted against and had an affair with someone, let alone the future.

Qian Qiyue's face turned a little bad when she thought of what happened that day.

Tang Ning patted her hands and said, "Your marriage is something you naturally want to have, and no one can force you. I just think that if you have no feelings for Fu Laiqing, you should tell him clearly as soon as possible, and you don't have to hide from him in the future."

"But if you are interested, you should have a good talk with him. No matter what you want, what you are worried about, or if you are dissatisfied with your marriage, you must tell him so that he will know."

Qian Qiyue's expression changed, and she pouted: "You are good at helping others to persuade me."

Tang Ning knew that she agreed, and leaned on her shoulder with a smile: "That's because of you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to pay attention."

Qian Qiyue snorted softly when she heard this: "You are good at talking."

Tang Ning stopped talking about the Fu family. The three of them laughed and joked on the couch for a while. Qian Qiyue left some things for Ayao before leaving the palace with the midwife.

Xue Ru snuggled up beside Tang Ning's couch and whispered to her about outside matters, including business and academy matters.

Xue Ru didn't stand up until someone outside the hall announced that Xiao Yan was coming.

Xiao Yan walked into the house in the wind and snow, stood at the door curtain to shake off the coldness on his body, took off his cloak and after Pan Xi took it over, he strode in.

"Your Majesty," Xue Ru saluted.

"Get up." Xiao Yan said, "Didn't I tell you not to be polite in front of your sister?"

"Your Majesty is the king, etiquette cannot be abolished."

Xue Ru stood respectfully a few steps away from Xiao Yan, completing her greetings. She then stood up and looked at Tang Ning, softening a bit. "Sister, it's the end of the year now, and all the managers from all over the place need to come and reconcile the accounts."

"I won't be going to the palace these few days. I'll come see you and Ayao after I've dealt with their affairs."

Tang Ning nodded: "Don't work too hard on business."

Xue Ru smiled sweetly: "I know, I need to take good care of my sister."

After talking to Tang Ning, Xue Ru turned around and looked at Xiao Yan to say goodbye. Her smile faded slightly and she returned to her respectful look.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

After Xue Ru left, Xiao Yan walked over to Tang Ning, took out a hand warmer, and held it in his arms to warm his hands. "Her attitude towards you and me is really clear. It's okay to stay away from her when we meet on weekdays, but for such a long time, I rarely even hear her call me brother-in-law."

Tang Ning said softly: "Aru is very thoughtful and can distinguish things too clearly."

Xiao Yan didn't hate Xue Ru's thoughts. The girl knew her limits and never coveted anything that didn't belong to her. She also wouldn't allow anyone to touch Tang Ning's things, even if that person was herself.

No matter how good Aning was to her, she never overstepped the boundaries. Even though everyone knew that she was the Queen's sister, she never took advantage of this status to do anything. Instead, she was more disciplined than anyone else and always put Tangning first in everything.

Xiao Yan is actually a cold-hearted person, but he is willing to show more love to Xue Ru.

However, the little girl avoided him as much as possible and was so cautious that sometimes Xiao Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
