Cao Xiangnan, who was inside, saw Wanfeng leading Aning in. Aning was followed by a man with extraordinary bearing. There was some surprise in his eyes.
Husband, Aning is back, and this one is Aning's husband, that is, Xuanxuan's father. "Qi Wanfeng saw Husband and hurriedly told Husband.
Hello, Cao Xiangnan." Cao Xiangnan nodded to the other party. This man is obviously a person in a high position. Is he Aning's husband? He has known Aning for so long and has never heard Aning talk about his husband. He didn't expect this man to come suddenly. Seeing that Aning's expression did not seem to welcome the arrival of this man, although he didn't know what misunderstanding there was between them, Cao Xiangnan still treated the person who came to his house with courtesy.
While he was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at him and said, "Feng Haoran is the emperor's surname. Feng Chongxi did not use his surname Feng. He always used Feng when he went out. Haoran is his courtesy name, but few people know his courtesy name. Please go over there and sit down." Cao Xiangnan made a gesture of invitation, and the Eighth Prince followed him. Aning was talking to the child. He knew that Cao Xiangnan had bathed Xuanxuan. Now the child saw him coming back and clung to him. Seeing the child rubbing his eyes, he knew that the child was sleepy and wanted to go to bed. He glanced at the prince and said to Wanfeng, "Xuanxuan is sleepy. I will take Xuanxuan back to the room to sleep first." Then he nodded to Cao Xiangnan and left.
Knowing that his husband and Aning's husband had something to say, Qi Wanfeng said something to his husband and went out. The fire in the fireplace was crackling. Seeing his Ning'er taking the child out, he knew that they were in this yard and could not leave. His people were watching outside, so the Eighth Prince did not chase them immediately. He did not sit down immediately after entering the house. As soon as he entered the house, he felt very warm. He looked around the house and saw the stove burning in the wall. He walked to the front to observe carefully, and asked without turning his head, "What is this?
This is called a fireplace." Cao Xiangnan briefly explained what a fireplace is.
After listening to Cao Xiangnan, he knew what a fireplace was. The Eighth Prince knew that this fireplace could warm up the whole house. Before coming here, the Eighth Prince knew Cao Xiangnan. He was just an ordinary boy, but he spoke to him in a humble and dignified manner, which made people like him at first sight. There was a funnel on the table, and the sand inside kept sliding. The Eighth Prince was a learned and inquisitive person. When he saw something he didn't understand, he would ask a question. Usually, Cao Xiangnan rarely invited outsiders to his house. This husband of Aning was the first one. He didn't expect that the other party would notice these little things. Cao Xiangnan also explained to him.
There were no clocks in this world, Cao Xiangnan used a trough to calculate time.
The Eighth Prince looked around and walked over to sit down.
Cao Xiangnan brewed some tea and poured it for him before sitting down.
The Eighth Prince smelled the tea, took a sip, hummed, nodded and said "good tea."
If you like it, drink one more cup. This is a homemade scented tea from a friend, and it's just right for this day. "Cao Xiangnan poured the tea for him again. He knew from his words and actions that he was a cultured person. Even if he didn't know much about jade, he knew that the jade ring on his thumb must be worth a lot of money. He just didn't know why Aning came to such a small place like Fenshui Town with his child. But he didn't dare to ask other people about such private matters directly. He didn't know why he always had an indescribable sense of familiarity when he saw him. Cao Xiangnan was sure that he had never met him before.
"Ning'er, it was... negligence that made him suffer." "At that time, he was investigating a case of corruption among officials in the court. He would be away for several months. He rarely returned home at that time and was always busy with court affairs. When he returned to the mansion, he found Ning'er missing. After asking, he learned about what happened in the mansion. The Eighth Prince naturally didn't believe that his Ning'er was such a vicious person.
Later, he asked people to investigate the matter and punished all those involved in the matter.
His princess was the brother appointed by his father and king. The two of them didn't have much affection but they were respectful to each other. If the other party could be his legitimate wife honestly, he wouldn't do anything to the other party. But he didn't expect the other party to set his sights on his Ning'er. After checking, he found out that so many things had happened in his Prince Duan's mansion. In a fit of anger, the Eighth Prince sent his princess to Chang'an Temple to be with Qingdeng.
After that incident, Prince Duan's mansion became much quieter, but no one knew where his Ning'er took Xuanxuan away. No one had entered the mansion in the past few years. He had been looking for his Ning'er until he got the news of his Ning'er from his nephew. He found the person and found him.
Since he had found the person, the Eighth Prince had no intention of letting him go.
Seeing that the other party was silent, thinking that he had remembered something, Cao Xiangnan did not speak to interrupt him.
"Ning'er and Xuanxuan are here, thank you for taking care of them." The Eighth Prince came back to his senses and did not explain the matter. He just expressed his gratitude to the other party. The two exchanged a few polite words in the house. Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, they knew that the other party was looking for Aning and Xuanxuan. So Aning had been away from home with the children for several years.
"If there is any misunderstanding, you should talk to Aning clearly. Aning looks gentle, but in fact, she is a strong person. If there is anything, you should talk it out clearly. Aning is not an unreasonable person. "Thinking back to when I first met Aning and Xuanxuan, the father and son were not living very well, Cao Xiangnan did not mention these words again.
Cao Xiangnan's heart is naturally on Aning's side, I know." The Eighth Prince nodded, he did not expect that an outsider understood his Ning'er better than he did. In the past, he just enjoyed his Ning'er's tenderness and did not know how difficult it was for him in the palace. Now that he has found the person, he will certainly cherish her.
I think it's getting late, if Brother Feng does not mind that my humble house is shabby, why don't you stay here for one night. "Cao Xiangnan gave the other party a convenience and a chance to ask for Aning's forgiveness. It's not easy for Aning to take Xuanxuan out alone. Seeing that Aning has no intention of finding someone else to live with, she must be unable to let go of her ex-husband.
Since she has found him after so many years, it means that this man has feelings for Aning. If the two of them can live together, it is better to have someone to take care of you than to carry it all alone." So I'm sorry to bother you. "The Eighth Prince replied. Cao Xiangnan asked Liu Yuan to send the people to the guest room to rest. The Eighth Prince nodded to him and followed him out.
Seeing that Aning's husband had gone out, Qi Wanfeng walked in and whispered to her husband about Aning, with worry in his words. Cao Xiangnan laughed when he heard it, and said, "Let them solve their own problems. Aning is with us, and no one can bully him." "It's late now. They usually go to bed at this time. Tonight they went out to watch the lanterns, and they came back so late because of Aning's matter. He said, "Let's go to bed and talk about it tomorrow." "
Yeah." Qi Wanfeng thought so too, so he went back to their room with her husband.
When Su Yining came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, he saw the prince sitting in his room. He paused and asked, "Why are you here?
Isn't his door bolted?
I'm staying here tonight too." Not only tonight, I'm staying with you every night from now on. The Eighth Prince didn't dare to say this.
... Yining.
Ning'er, who saw him, was only wearing an inner garment, with her long hair draped behind her back, a few strands of hair hanging on her cheeks. Her face was pale and rosy as she had just come out of a bath. The Eighth Prince's eyes deepened and his throat rolled. The room was probably warm because of the fireplace, but he was still afraid that he would be cold. Seeing that he was standing there motionless, he stood up, picked up a coat, walked over and put it on him, saying, "It's cold at night, put on a coat."
Xuanxuan went to sleep with Xiangzi. The child no longer slept in the same room with him after going to school, so he was the only one in the room. After closing the doors and windows, Aning was very casual here. He had just come out of the bath and was wearing an inner coat. He didn't have more. Anyway, he was going to go to bed and he would take off his clothes after he came out. He
walked in and found that there was another small room inside, but it made him feel a little strange. He asked, "Did you take a bath here just now?
" "Yes. "Su Yining was a little sulky when he saw that the person would not leave, but his temperament also determined that he would not be a person who would make a big fuss. Seeing that the person was unwilling to leave the room, he went to the bed, opened the quilt and lay down, pulled it up, and ignored the person who ran into his room. The Eighth Prince who was standing there watched the person lie down to sleep and refused to pay attention to him. In his heart, he knew that his Ning'er was still angry with him and refused to pay attention to him.
When he thought about how his brother had suffered so much with the children outside in these years, he only felt pity for him in his heart.
Su Yining hid in the quilt, his eyes were open . He didn't close the door, and when he heard sporadic noises beside the bed, he didn't lift the quilt and come out.
The Eighth Prince, who usually needed help to dress, undressed himself now.
The lights in the room went out, and the next second he felt someone lift the quilt, climb onto his bed and lie down beside him, and the next moment he fell into a familiar embrace... Su Yining, how could he not know that their prince was so... rogue?
"Go to sleep." It was not easy to find the person, and even if he had desires for this person, the Eighth Prince knew that he couldn't force him at this time regardless of his daughter Ning'er's wishes.
A stick was pressed against him from behind, and Su Yining rolled his eyes in the dark. He wanted to run but was held and couldn't escape. But he was really sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze. Before falling asleep, he felt small kisses on his face, and the person seemed to be talking in his ear, but he didn't hear clearly and fell asleep.
