Chapter 773

"Che'er, don't be stubborn. He's just a man," Madam Ning earnestly advised. "There are so many fine men in Luoyang City. Why do you insist on hanging yourself on that crooked tree?"

Ning Che's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he remained silent.

After that, no matter what Madam Ning said, Ning Che remained silent, not even knowing if she was still listening.

In the end, Madam Ning was completely at a loss. She told Ayu to take good care of her, and then got up and left.

After leaving Ning Che's courtyard, Madam Ning did not return to the main courtyard, but instead had someone hitch up a carriage and went to the Changping Marquis's residence.

Madam Ning's arrival was sudden, and Huo Zhao quickly changed his clothes before coming over.

"Aunt An, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Madam Ning smiled and said, "Well, I just got a few bolts of fabric with nice colors a couple of days ago, which are perfect for young people, so I sent them to you."

Huo Zhao glanced at them and saw that they were all brightly colored and suitable for her age, so she said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Jixiang, please accept them."

Jixiang stepped forward and took the cloth from the mother's hands.

"By the way, I haven't seen Che'er these past few days. What's she been up to?"

These past few days, Huo Zhao had people waiting at Xiuzhu Music House, but according to the servants' reports, he hadn't seen Ning Che again.

Upon hearing Huo Zhao mention Ning Che, Madam Ning couldn't help but sigh: "Che'er has recently had a fight with her father and has been confined to her home."

Huo Zhao was somewhat surprised.

Madam Ning then said, "Zhaozhao, you and Che'er are close, and Che'er listens to everything you say. Can you help me and try to persuade Che'er?"

"But...what is it for?"

Madam Ning sighed heavily: "Isn't it all because of that Young Master Wen?"

Without Madam Ning needing to elaborate, Huo Zhao already knew the gist of it: "When we returned that day, Zi Rong said that this matter probably wouldn't be the same as Che'er thought, and now it seems that it really is."

“Indeed,” Madam Ning shook her head. “Actually, in my opinion, neither of them is wrong. It’s just a matter of who can be more stubborn. But Che’er hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for several days. If this continues, I’m really afraid her body won’t be able to take it.”

Huo Zhao was secretly alarmed: "They're not even eating?"

Madam Ning nodded.

That's definitely a big deal.

"Then... shall I go see her tomorrow? Would that be convenient?"

"That's convenient!" Madam Ning came over because of Huo Zhao's words. "Zhao Zhao, you must persuade her for me to eat more. She can't ruin her health, can she?"

Huo Zhao nodded: "I understand, Aunt An."

Madam Ning sat for a while longer, and when she saw that Shen Rang had returned, she got up to take her leave.

The couple turned around and slowly returned to the South Courtyard.

"Madam Ning came here because of Miss Ning, right?"

Huo Zhao nodded: "How come you seem to know everything?"

"It's not hard to guess," Shen Rang said with a smirk, "When are you planning to go?"

"Tomorrow," Huo Zhao sighed, "I heard Che'er isn't even eating. It seems he's really made up his mind this time."

That's not surprising.

After all, Ning Che could sit in one place for an entire day, and even several days in a row, just for Wen Lang.

Shen Rang didn't say anything, but subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.

He just remembered that he had been there too.

Fortunately, I won in the end.
