Chapter 148: Fear of being robbed

Qu Yang glanced at Zong Si who had not responded, and did not dare to say anything for a moment.

Miss Ning Si's marriage came too suddenly.

Until Zhang He appeared and broke the peace.

"Brother Prince, Sister Ning's marriage with Mr. Lu has been finalized." Zhang He entered the study and excitedly told Zong Si the news.

The man looked at her with an indifferent expression.

Qu Yang kindly stopped her and said, "Miss Zhang, have you been feeling better these days?"

Since Zhang He rushed to the north, he fell seriously ill. It is conceivable how difficult it was for a little girl to come to the north alone. However, she always stood on the side of the prince regardless of the danger.

Qu Yang had a very good impression of her.

It’s just that the young lady said that she treated the prince as her own brother, but Qu Yang felt that this was not the case.

Qu Yang said this in order to stop Zhang He from talking about the fourth young lady in the capital. Unfortunately, Zhang He seemed not to notice and continued to say with a smile, "Sister Ning has always liked Mr. Lu. Now she has finally gotten what she wanted. The two of them are a perfect match."

Some people get what they want, while others will regret it for the rest of their lives. There is no room for a third person in a relationship.

Zong Si frowned and said, "Fourth Miss Ning doesn't really like Mr. Lu."

She was somewhat close to Lu Xingzhi, and even treated him better than she did herself, but in Zong Si's opinion, that was not admiration.

As for the marriage, it was probably a temporary solution, and Lu Xingzhi was also wary of Meng Ze.

Seeing him like this, Zhang He smiled a little less and said, "Brother Prince, did I say something wrong? Please don't be angry with me."

Zong Si looked at her but said nothing. After a while, he said, "I have always regarded Ah He as my own sister, so how could I be angry with you? Since you are not fully recovered yet, go down and rest."

I don't know what he was suggesting, intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang He only heard the word "dear sister" and felt very sad. She didn't want to be his sister at all, but she also knew that she couldn't change anything.

She only hoped that one day, his mind would change.

Even so, Zong Si still had trouble falling asleep at night. He got up and wrote a letter with an expressionless face.

Meng Yuan received the letter a few days later.

Yaoyao was accompanying him, so she naturally peeked at some of the content. She wanted to pretend that she saw nothing, but her curiosity made her unable to hold back, so she asked in a low voice: "Is the prince preparing to return to the capital?"

Meng Yuan curled his lips and said, "If I don't return to Beijing, I'm afraid my house will be robbed."

Yaoyao said, "He is afraid that if he doesn't return to Beijing, Afu and Lu Xingzhi's marriage will really happen. However, this is good for you, so why not go with the flow."

Meng Yuan said: "I thought you couldn't learn to think for me."

Yaoyao said anxiously: "No, I always think about you."

"If you are considering me, why are you running around?" Meng Yuan asked back.

Yaoyao remained silent, with a look of obvious confusion.

"Not only is he running around, but he's also with Li Fang every day?" Meng Yuan said, hinting at something. "You live in the same room with him, but you don't guard against him at all."

"Li Fang is a good man."

Meng Yuan's expression twisted and he said coldly, "Is that so."

"Of course. His martial arts are excellent. With him around, I won't run into any danger even if I go out." Yaoyao has complete trust in the secret guard Li Fang.

This person was sent by Meng Yuan to protect her, so she naturally felt at ease.

Meng Yuan curled his lips but said nothing.

Yaoyao saw that he suddenly ignored her, and she suddenly realized something. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Are you jealous?"

Meng Yuan said helplessly: "When can you realize it earlier? Li Fang is a man after all, how can I not mind?"

Yaoyao felt sweet in her heart. She held his hand. Meng Yuan's hands were very big. Every time she held them, she felt very safe.

"Although someone is looking for you, it won't be a burden to me. Don't think about sneaking away in the future." Meng Yuan said, "I can protect you. If I can't even protect you, I don't have to fight for that position."

Yaoyao bit her lip, "But..."

"Jingcheng." Meng Yuan said, "I don't just love the country, I just don't want the people to suffer. If there is one among them who can take on the responsibility, I will not do this, and I will not sacrifice the people around me for the sake of imperial power. So no matter what, you will not be a burden."

If there is reincarnation, he will protect her in every life.

Yaoyao's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help hugging him and said, "Then why don't you want to have a child with me?"

Meng Yuan did not expect her to talk about this and was speechless for a moment.

"I used to think you... but you are clearly capable of doing that." Yaoyao whispered, "I like doing that with you."

The two of them had had sex once by chance, and he was obviously very capable. She liked being so intimate with him, as if they were inseparable and had always been one.

She was so straightforward that Meng Yuan felt embarrassed for her.

She didn't want a child at all, she just wanted his body.

"Let's discuss this later. Now is not the time to have a child." Meng Yuan said.

Yaoyao said: "You don't like me very much, do you?"

This "like" also refers to having sex.

"Don't think too much." Meng Yuan said.

"I won't run around anymore. Can you come with me a few more times, okay?" Yaoyao said.

Even Meng Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Who would trade in this way?

Yaoyao had already put her hand into his collar, clearly pushing it too far, but she said politely and pitifully: "OK?"

Meng Yuan naturally couldn't refuse.

…

As for Meng Ze, he had invited Ning Fu several times but never saw her, so he was naturally very angry.

When he succeeds to the throne, he will certainly punish Lu Xingzhi and make him watch with his own eyes how he takes Nymph.

As for the nymph, if she doesn't act like a proper wife and refuses to accept toasts, then she will have to drink the wine for punishment and will suffer in the future.

But right now Meng Ze was unable to get away because of the affairs of the Hu people in the north, and he was unable to sleep or eat. He was just angry in his heart. He didn't believe that what Prince Xuan's Mansion could do, he, a prince, could not do.

When Ning Fu found out that Meng Ze didn't look for her again, she knew that he must be busy with the affairs in the north.

Within half a month, news came that Hu's army was invading. Dayan suffered a terrible defeat in this battle, and half of Danyang fell into the hands of Hu's army.

Ning Fu didn't know whether Zong Si did it on purpose during this period.

She was a little worried about Princess Jingwen. Meng Ze's current hope must be to marry the princess to a foreign country in order to improve relations with the Hu people.

When did Dayan end up in this situation?

A few days later, the Hu envoys came to the capital as expected. Having won the battle, their attitude was naturally defiant.

"This marriage is probably difficult to come to fruition." Ning Fu said to Lu Xingzhi.

"Although Emperor Jingwen is harsh to the people, he is not a king who is willing to humiliate the country. Meng Yuan has his own way to make Emperor Jingwen change his mind about letting Jingwen marry." Lu Xingzhi said, "Fourth Miss, don't worry."

Ning Fu couldn't help but think about the subsequent development: "If Emperor Jingwen was humiliated by the Hu people, it would probably speed up his thinking of re-employing Prince Xuan's palace."

Meng Yuan is clearly helping Zong Si.
