Chapter 80 Zong Duo Encounter

Zong Si didn't give her a chance to refuse.

He patiently comforted her for a while, and his gentle pecks were all expressions of goodwill.

Zong Si's attempt to show affection and kiss reminded Ning Fu of his previous life. He would never show affection like this.

It is true that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. When she was his wife, he would never take the initiative to show his affection like this.

Nymph was a little distracted, staring at his trembling eyelashes without closing her eyes.

She didn't push him until she heard footsteps.

Zong Si let her go for a moment, but still held her in his arms. When the footsteps faded away, he lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly again and again.

"The prince promised me that he would not embarrass me." Nymph said, "The prince and I know each other well, so we naturally treat each other as friends, not as intimate and offensive as this."

"I will pay attention in the future." Zong Si paused and said.

"How is the Sixth Prince?" Ning Fu suddenly asked.

Zong Si said, "The criminal he wanted to catch in Linglongtai that day happened to have evidence against him. Before he could catch him, the matter was reported to the emperor. The emperor didn't like his excessive indulgence in women, so he fined him a year's salary. Now he is dealing with the women in the mansion."

"Is it related to the Fourth Prince?"

"It also has some relationship with your brother." Zong Si said.

Ning Fu had already had this guess. Now that her brother had returned and had a good relationship with Meng Che, he would naturally have to do things for Meng Che. She was a little anxious in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

"Your brother is only working for the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince doesn't know that he is involved. Don't worry. I promised you that I will not hold your brother responsible." Zong Si looked at her and comforted her.

This was a combination of kindness and force, everything was under his control. Nymph lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Besides gardenia scent, what other rouge do you like? If I always smell like your gardenia, it might arouse suspicion." Zong Si said. The scent was too simple and anyone with a keen eye could recognize it at a glance.

"Of course I like expensive rouge." Nymph secretly argued, "But I don't intend to change it for no reason."

Zong Si said seriously, "Afu is definitely worthy of good ones, and you don't have to choose them yourself. I'll pick some out someday and have someone send them to you."

I wanted to annoy him, but failed and was speechless for a moment.

"Your Highness, don't try so hard in the polo match that will be held soon." Ning Fu thought for a moment and said again.

Zong Si did not respond. It was common for military generals to get injured. Besides, he knew his limits in the competition, so it was not a problem.

"Did the prince hear it?" If she wasn't afraid of being blamed, she would not bother to say anything more about it.

"I heard you." He didn't like the woman making decisions for him like this, but he still responded.

Ning Fu was curious about why Zong Si left the capital and whether he was with Lu Xingzhi, but she did not ask more questions as it was inappropriate to mention Lu Xingzhi.

The two of them didn't want to delay for too long, and there was no bronze mirror in the room, so she simply wiped off all the lip balm she had used.

As soon as they came out of the rest house, Zong Ning came up to them, his eyes fell on Ning Fu's clean lips, and then he looked up at his brother.

Zong Si was calm and composed, and there was no sign of anything wrong with him. His eyes were only fixed on Ning Fu.

"Why are you all here?" Zongduo came over at some point, and he also saw Ningfu's figure out of the corner of his eye.

"I just happened to meet my third brother. My sister Ning and I were just planning to go back." Zong Ning said to Zong Duo playfully.

Zong Si asked, "Come and change your shoes?"

Zongduo hummed, looked at his sister and Nymph, gave them the candy in his hand, and said: "The palace servant gave it to me just now. Your lady may like it. Keep it and eat it."

Zong Ning was holding a cloak in his hand and it was inconvenient for him to take it, so Ning Fu had to reach out her hand.

Nymph said politely: "Thank you, Second Young Master."

Zongduo said, "The fourth lady seems to be quite focused on the game. Does she know anything about polo?"

However, he still maintained a very good distance. He was by no means someone who would lose his sense of propriety and seduce someone else's fiancée. What's more, Lu Xingzhi was working for Prince Xuan's palace, and he just wanted to talk about polo.

Ning Fu glanced at Zong Si, and then said truthfully: "When I was young, I saw my brother playing with others a few times, but I myself am not very interested in it."

"Your brother and I have also competed many times." Zongduo said, "You are still young, so you may not remember, but your brother always took you with him, and I, your third brother, competed against you. Whenever your brother lost, you would cry, which always made your third brother impatient."

The ten-year-old Zong Si hated the little lady of the Duke's Mansion very much.

When talking about childhood events, Zongduo became somewhat interested.

In those activities at that time, he was the undisputed number one!

Zongduo recalled for a moment and continued, "Once there were too many people around and you mistook your brother for your elder brother. You hugged the third brother's legs and called him brother. As soon as the third brother lowered his head, you were so scared that you started to cry."

But that time, Zong Si carried her to find Ning Zheng. At that time, she was always afraid of Zong Si, so when he held her, she lay quietly on his shoulder and didn't dare to move. Ning Zheng thought his sister was bullied, so he fought with Zong Si.

Zong Si looked at Ning Fu and explained, "Finally, I carried you to find your brother."

Ning Fu didn't even look at him, and still said to Zongduo with a smile: "Second Young Master has a very good memory."

Zong Si's expression was as cold as usual. He looked at her. She always praised others.

Zongduo said somewhat embarrassedly, "There happened to be a polo match today, so I thought of this matter." He would never remember such a small matter on ordinary days.

Zong Ning saw his third brother looking at him, so he said, "Second brother, let's go."

"Go." Zongduo looked at Nymph again.

When the two brothers were alone, they were speechless for a while.

Zongduo thought for a moment and said, "How come there is still no news about the marriage between the fourth lady and Xingzhi?"

Zong Si said coldly: "Where did you hear these rumors?"

"It's only a matter of time before they get married," Zongduo said. "They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, which is great."

There was a hint of impatience in Zong Si's eyes: "The fourth lady might be more suitable with someone else."

Zongduo: "Who is it?"

Zong Si gave him an ambiguous look.

Zong Duo thought for a moment and said, "Isn't General Ye's son Ye Sheng as good a match as Master Lu?"

Zong Si felt a rare sense of helplessness. His second brother really had no tact at all.

Zongduo sighed heavily and said, "Are you in a bad mood today? You seem a little aggressive?"

"Second brother, you have misunderstood. Go back to the competition." Zong Si said without turning his head.

…

When Ning Fu and Zong Ning returned to their seats, they saw Lu Xingzhi looking at her.

She gave him a small polite smile and he smiled back at her.

Nymph liked the way he was as a person. He knew when to advance and when to retreat, and never pushed anyone. It seemed as if he had a selfless tolerance.

In the following polo match, although Zong Si restrained himself a bit, he was good at calculations. Although Ning Zheng excelled in skills, Zong Duo's footwork gradually improved. For a while, the two teams were evenly matched.

In the end, Zong Si's blue team narrowly won.

Ning Fu looked anxious and took a long breath to suppress the resentment in her heart that her brother had lost.

Rong Min looked at Ning Fu for a while, and suddenly asked: "Sister Ning, why did you put on lip balm? Could it be that you were having a secret meeting..."

Before Ning Fu could say anything, Zong Si came over and asked calmly, "What is Miss Rong talking about with An Ning?"

This is mistaking Sister Ning for Sister Ning.

But Ning Fu didn't believe it, Zong Si didn't know who Rong Min was talking about.
