Chapter 32: Marriage is coming

Ning Fu had her own purpose in arranging Zong Si's marriage at this time.

This was to show that she had no desire for him at all, and that she would be happy to see him get married.

She wished that he would marry Xie Ruyi back to Prince Xuan's Palace as soon as possible.

But for Yu Zongsi, she was the one who knew about his previous life, and now she was the one who was congratulating him on his marriage with another woman in the capacity of his wife or concubine.

Even if he didn't like her in this life, it didn't mean he could be completely indifferent to her behavior, and he couldn't be without emotions in his heart.

Zong Si pulled the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "The fourth lady is worried about my affairs."

"I naturally hope that the prince can also be successful in love." Ning Fu smiled lightly. Although there was a polite element in her words, her heart was also extremely sincere.

"Go back." Zong Si didn't mention it again and sent the guest away in a calm voice.

Ning Fu pondered for a moment, and then said, "If the prince has been engaged recently, and if there is any news about the divine doctor Mu, will we still meet at Qingtian Pavilion?"

"If there are any changes, someone will notify you." Zong Si said indifferently.

Being married is of course not as convenient as being unmarried.

"If it's not an urgent matter, I will find Sister Fu and ask her to convey it to you." Ning Fu was also very cooperative.

Zong Si left.

Ningfu felt somewhat uneasy.

When Zong Si heard me congratulating him and Sister Xie, he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

His attitude towards me was somewhat different from before. It wasn't that he liked me, but there was always a kind of indescribable complexity. In short, it was somewhat different from how he treated other women.

But she didn't know why he suddenly changed. Ningfu remembered that he had just asked her where her master came from. Maybe he noticed something.

Nymph couldn't help but worry whether he was doubting that she was reborn.

On her way back, she happened to run into Zong Ning and his group.

"Sister Ning, why are you walking around alone?" Zong Ning just felt that she was lonely. She felt more and more that it was her fault that the ladies ignored her a long time ago, and she felt a little guilty.

"The prince's residence is not far from here, right?" Rongmin suddenly said meaningfully.

Doesn't this imply that Nymph has some agenda?

Zong Ning's face changed after hearing these words. Rong Min might not be sure, but she knew for sure that Ning Fu and the third brother had discussed marriage before.

Ning Fu didn't spoil Rong Min, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the prince lived here, but I didn't expect Sister Rong to care about him so much."

Rongmin said angrily: "Stop slandering me."

"I thought Sister Rong, who likes to slander others so much, would not be afraid of slander herself." Ning Fu said.

Zong Ning also felt that Rong Min was wrong and said, "Sister Rong, Sister Ning can't possibly be interested in my third brother. When she saw my third brother, she wanted to hide away from him. Don't speculate about her like that."

Ning Fu might marry her second brother in the future, so her character must not be slandered by outsiders, and she must not have anything to do with her third brother.

When Rong Min saw Zong Ning speaking, although she was angry, she had no choice but to stop arguing with Ning Fu.

Only Cheng Shuang remained silent, but she really wanted to see Zong Si. She couldn't help feeling disappointed as Zong Si and Xie Ruyi's marriage would be settled in the future, and she would no longer have the opportunity to express her love to him.

Cheng Shuang's heart ached just thinking about this. Sister Xie liked Zong Si's background, and she was the only one who loved him wholeheartedly, so why couldn't she be his wife?

Princess Xuan also praised me for my intelligence and liked me.

If it weren't for Sister Xie, would it be me?

Cheng Shuang bit her lip, lowered her eyes and collected her thoughts.

Zong Ning invited, "Sister Ning, it's cold on the rockery, come walk with us."

Ningfu pondered for a moment. Although the palace was no longer new to her, she was bored at the moment, so she decided to go for a walk together.

"It seems like it's been a while since I last saw Second Young Master Lu." Zong Ning said as he stepped into the corridor.

When Ning Fu heard about Lu Xing, she also paid some attention to him. She had not heard any news about him since he was sent out to suppress bandits.

Rong Min was the most informed about Lu Xingzhi's news, and said, "Although Master Lu has wiped out the bandits, His Majesty is worried that the bandits are good at hiding and will be rampant again in a few months, so he appointed Master Lu as the inspector and temporarily serve in Liangzhou."

Ning Fu knew that Emperor Jingwen valued him very much, and if this continued, his future would be limitless.

The future of the Lu family may begin to shine from his generation.

Zong Ning looked at Rong Min and asked suspiciously, "Why do you know so much?"

Rong Min couldn't help but blush, and changed the subject, "The scenery of Prince Xuan's Mansion is not necessarily better than that of the palace. The colors everywhere are dull and boring, while the palace is full of vitality."

Seeing this, Zong Ning didn't ask any more questions. Every female monarch has someone she likes in her heart, not to mention that even her mother said that Lu Xingzhi was a good person.

She also had a good impression of Lu Xingzhi, but it was not the kind of impression between a man and a woman. Zong Ning preferred to regard him as a brother.

However, although Lu Xingzhi sometimes did things for his brother, he seemed to dislike the palace. He was unflattering, indifferent and cold to the people in the palace.

It seemed as if there had been some conflict between him and the palace.

Zong Ning just thought that he was just that cold-tempered. After all, there were many people who disliked the palace.

After strolling for a while, they ran into Princess Xuan and Madam Xie who were also strolling around.

"Mother, thank you, Madam." Zong Ning said happily.

Everyone followed suit and saluted.

Madam Xie smiled and said, "I haven't seen Ning for a long time. You seem to have grown taller."

As she spoke, her gaze inevitably fell on Nymph behind her. The young lady was beautiful, but like Princess Xuan, she still believed that a lady should not be too beautiful. It would be difficult for a lady to keep a man happy by relying on her beauty for long.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Madam Xie never regarded the Ningguo Mansion as a strong rival.

At that time, when the news came out that the Ningguo Mansion wanted to get close to the Xuanwang Mansion, she just treated it as a joke and didn't take it to heart.

"Mother, please talk to Madam about important matters. We'll leave first." Zong Ning pronounced the four words "important matters" very heavily with a hint of teasing.

Ning Fu thought that now that Zong Si had returned triumphantly, it was self-evident what this important matter was referring to, and it was naturally the marriage between Zong Si and Xie Ruyi.

Both families attach great importance to this marriage, so it is necessary to be solemn and every detail must be considered carefully.

Seeing that her son's marriage was imminent, Princess Xuan was in a very good mood and couldn't help but smile and said, "Entertain the ladies well for my mother, and don't neglect everyone."

There were quite a few young masters who came to Prince Xuan's Mansion today. When Ning Fu returned to the banquet, she saw Zong Si again among the young masters.

People who have fought on the battlefield are naturally perceptive. When Nymph looked at him, he had already noticed it and looked over at her, but their conversation just now was not very pleasant, and his expression was very cold.

Nymph thought about it and gave him a friendly smile. He paused and then slowly looked away.

Ning Fu's smile disappeared after he looked away. If he hadn't helped her father in the matter of Lord Song, and if she hadn't wanted to be friendly, she wouldn't have bothered to give him a good face.

"The prince is currently successful in both love and officialdom. Even if it was me, I would also rush back after receiving a letter like that." The speaker was one of the staff members of Prince Xuan's palace.

On that day in the north, he personally handed the letter to Zong Si. He also saw the content of the letter, which said: "Prince, please rest assured. I hope you return safely."

The war went badly that day and the prince was in a gloomy mood, but after seeing the letter, he calmed down. He did not burn the letter but kept it away.

He determined that the person who wrote the letter was the girl from the Xie family.

How could he have guessed that the person who actually wrote the letter was Miss Ning Si from the Duke's Mansion.
