Chapter 162: The Robbery (3)

Zong Si might have guessed about Meng Ze in his heart, but he still stabbed him with the sword.

If that man had not threatened him with the nymph, he would have aimed at that man's life with that sword, and his death would not be a pity.

He couldn't stand anyone humiliating her like this.

So what about Meng Ze?

As long as he can't sit in that position, what does it matter if he is a prince?

But...

Just a defeated bandit.

And I have a thousand ways to prevent him from taking that position.

Zong Si suppressed his coldness and stroked her head. Her hair was like silk under his hand, and he couldn't let it go. His tone was also controlled a little: "Although Meng Ze is a prince, a prince who can't sit in that position is no different from a commoner."

Although Ning Fu knew that he did not take Meng Ze seriously, but hearing him say these words so calmly still made Ning Fu tremble a little in her heart.

But what he said is not without reason.

Especially in Dayan, it has become a tradition for brothers to kill each other for that position.

For a man like Zong Si who holds military power, it is only natural that he does not take the prince seriously.

Emperor Jingwen's cousin, Prince of Jin, had never taken Emperor Jingwen seriously before he came to the throne. After Emperor Jingwen ascended the throne, he was still wary of him because of the military power in his hands, but he never really made things difficult for him.

My grandmother Kang Yang fell from power and the princess's mansion was abolished in Yongzhou, but Prince Jin is still doing well.

Ning Fu reached out and wiped off the rouge that had rubbed off on her face.

"I can't bear to see anyone hurt you." Zong Si said in a deep voice, "No matter how cautious you are, there are times when you can neglect others. Afu, why don't you marry into the palace? I will protect you and no one will dare to take advantage of you."

Although Lu Xingzhi has strategies, Meng Ze will not take the Lu Mansion seriously.

"Now that I've mentioned you this time, Meng Ze will be more restrained." Ning Fu lowered her eyes and said, she didn't want to marry into Prince Xuan's Mansion rashly.

Zong Si said: "You have the final say, I will listen to you."

I'll listen to you.

Ning Fu still felt some ripples in her heart because of these four words.

He didn't force her, nor did he bribe her, but today he completely stood on her side and followed her arrangements.

In this life, Zong Si learned to benefit her.

Nymph thought of the kiss again. In fact, compared with the desire she had before, this kiss could be considered beautiful.

But when she remembered that she seemed to have licked his lips involuntarily just now, her face suddenly became hot.

She didn't do it on purpose, but when she was distracted, the touch of his soft lips made her do it subconsciously.

Nymph glanced at the man from the corner of her eye and saw from his attitude that it seemed that he had not noticed it just now.

She let the matter go.

"This matter cannot be made public and needs to be investigated carefully. However, I met Meng Ze in the Wei Mansion. I don't know if it was deliberately designed." Ning Fu said, "How did you find me?"

"I have people in the city. When I saw your carriage leave the city and go to the suburbs, I realized something was wrong. There are too many wheel tracks in the suburbs, so it took me some effort to find you." Zong Si said, "Fortunately, you are smart enough."

"I actually thought that you had planted someone next to me."

"It's not that you don't like it." Zong Si paused. If they were out of town, even if she didn't like it, he would still secretly send secret guards to follow her. But now in Beijing, the security is still good, and she didn't like it, so he withdrew the guards.

For now, it seems that she still needs someone to follow her.

Nymph didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "When we return to the city, you need to find me some clothes first."

It was impossible for her to return to the Duke's Mansion in such a miserable state.

Zong Si glanced at her collar, and Ning Fu quickly pulled his cloak and looked up at him, meaning that she didn't allow him to look.

Although he did not look intentionally, he was still keenly aware that her breasts had grown bigger and were much fuller than when they were in Yongzhou. He felt a little hot for a moment, so he stretched out his hand to cover up and pretended to cough.

Nymph did not speak again.

Not far away, a figure went his separate ways along other roads.

…

After a long journey, Ningfu's mood gradually calmed down.

Zong Si took her to Hongxiu Pavilion.

The two of them entered from the backyard of Hongxiu Pavilion. Yue Niang was standing far away when she heard Zong Si's voice. She couldn't help but smile and came over, but soon she saw a woman wearing his cloak.

The woman seemed to be afraid of being discovered and was extremely cautious.

"Just take me in through the back door like this." She seemed to not trust the prince.

When Yue Niang heard the voice, she knew it was Fourth Miss Ning.

Seeing that it was her, Yue Niang felt relieved. It was also within her expectations. When the prince was in the north, he had asked people in the capital to keep an eye on the fourth young lady.

According to Qu Yang, the situation was so urgent at that time, but the first thing the prince paid attention to every day was definitely the news about the fourth lady.

Later I heard that it was the fourth girl who saved the prince's life in Dazhou.

"Prince, Fourth Miss." Yue Niang said with a smile.

When Ning Fu saw Yue Niang, she glanced at Zong Si.

Zong Si then kept a distance and said calmly, "The fourth girl's collar is torn, take her downstairs to change."

"Yes." Yue Niang said softly, "Fourth Miss, please follow me."

Ningfu followed Yue Niang.

Seeing that she was quiet, Yue Niang couldn't help but take the initiative to speak: "Fourth Miss, you don't have to be afraid of me. I am just doing things for the prince. I didn't like you enough before because I was afraid that you would hurt the prince. Now that you have saved the prince, you are also my master."

To Yue Niang, Zong Si was her savior, so she was willing to work for him. Although she had thought about him, she never thought about him again after knowing it was impossible.

Now I just keep the kindness in my heart.

She will care about whoever Zong Si cares about, and this is the best reward for this kindness.

Ningfu let Yue Niang choose a Liuxian skirt for her. The color was bright, a light yellow. At a glance, Ningfu knew that this skirt was sewn with great effort.

And it fits her perfectly, probably it was prepared for her.

"I caught a glimpse of the Fourth Young Lady from afar earlier and estimated that her figure would be like this. Now it seems that my estimation was not wrong." Yue Niang said.

"Thank you, Miss Yue." Ning Fu felt a little uncomfortable.

Zong Si seemed to have expected her to do this, and walked in after a moment.

"My lord, take a look at this outfit of the Fourth Young Lady. Does it fit her well?" Yue Niang looked at her work with satisfaction.

"Yeah, very beautiful." Zong Si looked at Ning Fu and said hesitantly, "But is the waist too tight?"

It makes the nymph's waist look as slender as a willow, showing her feminine charm.

In Zong Si's heart, he naturally didn't want others to see this scene, as men are all possessive.

Nymph didn't want to waste time on the dress at the moment, so she said, "Let's go."

Zong Si thought she liked him, so he didn't say anything more.

She likes to be the most important thing. Even if someone covets her, she should tell them to give up. This is also what she should do.

Said to Yue Niang: "From now on, you should send some beautiful dresses to the Duke's Mansion every month, some for the Fourth and Fifth Misses, and some for Madam Ning. Qu Yang will send the money for the monthly bill."

Yue Niang bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lord."

Nymph said: "If I need it, I can buy it myself."

"It won't cost much money, and Yue Niang is not that easy to get an appointment with. Since you can use this backdoor, why not go?" Zong Si said, "Your mother must have known that your carriage left the city, so go back to the Duke's Mansion as soon as possible."

Nymph did not delay any further.

"If the Duke's Mansion knew that I almost..." She thought for a moment and said, "My mother would be frightened again, so I agreed on a confession with the prince. However, my carriage was hijacked, and the prince happened to be out of the capital on business. He happened to see this and saved me."

But she was worried that once her mother knew the truth, it would not be so easy for her to go out and do things.

After sending Ning Fu back to the Duke's Mansion, although Madam Ning was grateful to him, she was also somewhat wary of him. Her thoughts were too obvious.

Facing the Ningguo Mansion, the Crown Prince is now a little too humble.

It was fine before, but now my daughter and Lu Xingzhi are engaged.

"Prince, please stay and have some tea. Dongzhu, take the fourth lady back to Zhuyuan first." Mrs. Lu said.

Seeing that she had something to say to him, Zong Si stood there without moving.

Madam Ning personally poured tea for Zong Si and sighed, "Your Highness also knows that Afu and Mr. Lu are currently engaged."

Zong Si said in a deep and serious voice: "Madam, rest assured, if something really happens, I will not let the reputation of the Duke's Mansion and Afu be damaged."

After he left, Madam Ning couldn't help but frown. How could he admit that he had some thoughts in his heart?

…

On the way back home in the carriage, Zong Si couldn't help but touch his lips, and his ears felt slightly hot.

He certainly felt it when the nymph licked him.

That light touch made him tremble uncontrollably. At that moment, he almost lost control and lifted her into his arms and continued to kiss her deeply, wanting to respond to her passionately.

It's worth it even if I die.

He was just afraid of scaring her, so he could only suppress all his instincts and pretend that he didn't notice anything.

He doesn't reject herself, maybe he likes herself a little. Although she hasn't noticed it, her body likes him.

Even the most cold-blooded man cannot help but feel happy at this moment.

No man who falls in love is immune to this.

But after thinking of Meng Ze, the smile on Zong Si’s face faded a little, and turned into a dark cloud.

…

"Sir, why do you come home so late today?" The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion couldn't help but wonder when he saw Lu Xingzhi returning home.

"Something happened." Lu Xingzhi said lightly.

The housekeeper noticed that the soles of his shoes were a little muddy, as if he had just returned from the suburbs.

Lu Xingzhi returned to his bedroom, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In her mind, there kept appearing the scene where a corner of the carriage curtain fluttered and Zong Si carefully kissed Ning Fu. She was a little dazed, but did not avoid him.

The affectionate feeling was already very obvious.

It was only a matter of time before Afu fell in love. What she wanted was a husband like this. In this life, Zong Si was attractive to her.

Lu Xingzhi had already arrived at that time, but when he saw Zong Si, he gave up the opportunity.

Lu Xingzhi was happy for them, genuinely happy, but he couldn't help feeling a little bitter in his heart.

It is him who is not him and will completely replace himself.

This is the retribution for not knowing how to cherish in his previous life.

This night is destined to be not calm.

Wei Xiao looked at Meng Ze who came back with his hands on his chest, and his expression suddenly changed: "Where did you go to get this injury, Your Highness?"

He was about to go and ask the imperial physician for help. Something had happened to the prince in the Wei Mansion, and the Wei Mansion could not bear this responsibility.

But he couldn't help wondering in his heart whether what Meng Ze was doing now was immoral, and whether he could use this as evidence to climb up the ladder.
