Chapter 111: Imagine a happy life with children around you!
After dinner, Shang Xi said goodbye without waiting for Xiao Ning to say anything else: "I still have things to do in the mansion, I'm leaving first..."
It can be said that he fled in panic.
He had obviously noticed her alienation.
Xiao Ning looked at his back, feeling somewhat reluctant, but helpless.
Just let it be discovered. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The three thousand handsome men in the princess's mansion are the panacea for healing. I believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess will soon recover her former proud demeanor.
Yuzhu stood aside and asked curiously, "My Lord, why do I feel that there is something strange between you and Her Royal Highness the Princess today?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She turned around and rubbed Yuzhu's head, then said with a smile, "What's strange about that? We're doing fine. Don't let your imagination run wild every day."
Yuzhu: “…”
She was thinking about something, so she asked...
And... there's something obviously wrong with the Marquis's reaction!
But what's the problem?
Yuzhu pinched her chin and looked at Xiao Ning suspiciously, but Xiao Ning looked calm. With her level of cultivation, she couldn't tell anything at all.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come on, accompany me to the charity hall outside Beijing and see how the flower buds of our motherland are growing!"
"Then I'll get two hand warmers..."
Yuzhu said this and trotted into the house.
…
Being as smart as Furong, she naturally noticed the weirdness between the two.
After leaving the mansion, he got on the carriage.
Furong observed Shang Xi's expression and asked carefully, "Your Highness, between you and your husband..."
Shang Xi lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice: "I couldn't help myself last night and touched him."
Furong was so shocked by this that she almost stood up. "You touched the prince consort... then, then he knows your..."
Shang Xi shook his head, "He doesn't know."
He was too presumptuous...
Xiao Ning was always alert. Even when she was seriously injured and unconscious, she would wake up when he undressed her. What's more, when she had just fallen asleep...
She must have known the despicable thoughts he had towards her, which is why she became so... indifferent.
Furong: “…”
She meant well but ended up doing something bad.
Even though she knew that His Highness was already unable to restrain his feelings for the Prince Consort, she still urged them to live together...
Furong apologized to Shang Xi, but Shang Xi's voice was calm, and no trace of sadness or joy could be heard: "I don't blame you, it's my own fault..."
Although his tone was calm, Furong knew how sad Shang Xi must be.
She saw his love for the prince consort, and now that she was being retaliated against, she was probably in excruciating pain.
Furong moved her lips, but in the end she said nothing.
Pale comfort will not have any effect, and the master has to digest all emotions by himself.
The master has a very strong character, and she believes that he will eventually come out of the shadow of this frustrated relationship.
But... I don't know how long it will take.
After returning to the princess's mansion, Shang Xi went to the study and continued to deal with his own affairs.
Because of heavy snow blocking the roads, the documents sent from all over the country were delayed for a long time, and the most recent one was delivered more than half a month ago.
Looking at Shang Xi who was handling things in an orderly manner, Furong sighed silently and just told someone to add more charcoal fire.
…
Xiao Ning and Yuzhu took a carriage all the way to the charity hall outside Beijing.
The snow in the yard was cleared clean, only the unmelted snow on the eaves would occasionally be blown up by the north wind and fall down.
Seeing the distinguished guest coming, several smartly dressed female servants hurried forward to greet him. Xiao Ning greeted them with a smile and told them not to be so polite.
The maids were flattered.
They knew that this nobleman had a kind heart because he could build a charity house and take in abandoned babies. They originally thought that he was a young lady, but unexpectedly he was a very handsome young man.
Standing in the yard, you can hear the crying and noisy sounds of children in the house.
"The New Year is coming soon, I brought you some gifts. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Let's have a good New Year together!"
Xiao Ning signaled to others to come and help unload the things from the carriage.
Vegetables, rice, flour, and clothes are all available, which shows that a lot of thought has been put into it.
After putting away their things, they went into the inner room together.
The room had a heated kang and a charcoal brazier, so it was very warm. Children were crawling on the kang babbling, and Xiao Ning felt really happy listening to them.
She sat down beside the bed, stretched out her hand and patted it, and then a little girl stumbled and threw herself into her arms with a smile.
The little girl babbled, touched her face, and pulled her hair.
The frightened waitress rushed forward, but Xiao Ning raised her hand to stop her. She liked children. What could these chubby little hands do to her? It wouldn't hurt to grab someone.
After playing with the kids, we had lunch here at noon.
The maids were afraid that they were not treating the guest well enough, but they saw that this noble man ate the simple meal without any dissatisfaction, and even looked like... he was eating with relish?
The women we recruited were all miserable people. Some were divorced because they had no children and had nowhere to live. Some were newly widowed with young children and daughters and had nowhere to make a living.
Xiao Ning gave them a place to stay and signed a contract with them to let them take care of these abandoned babies.
The maids were very grateful to this kind young man for earning several hundred dollars every month, and they worked diligently in this hard-earned job that provided them with a livelihood.
I played with the kids again in the afternoon.
Seeing Xiao Ning changing the baby's diaper so skillfully, a waitress asked with a smile, "How old is your child? Do you often change his diapers yourself?"
Xiao Ning: "...Ahem, we don't have any children yet."
Maybe the princess really wanted to have a child with her, but unfortunately she couldn't.
Tsk, if the princess gave birth to a child, I wonder how beautiful and lovely the child would be!
There are so many handsome men in the Princess's Mansion, and Her Highness has taken good contraceptive measures, so she hasn't had any illegitimate children yet...
In fact, she is quite happy to be a mother...ahem, a father without any pain.
Well, I can convey this idea to Her Royal Highness the Princess someday and ask her not to worry too much and to tell everyone that the child is hers when she gets one.
Now her status as a man will be more secure, and she can also get a cute baby for free.
Xiao Ning's saliva is flowing just thinking about it, so greedy...
Imagine a happy life with children around you!
Yuzhu looked at her own master, whose smile became more and more obscene, and could not help but cover her face and remind him: "Young Master, wipe your saliva..."
Xiao Ning: "Ah... am I drooling?"
She raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth, but there was no saliva. She glared at Yuzhu.
Yuzhu stuck out her tongue mischievously.
The maids couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. This noble was different from all the nobles they had ever seen. He played and joked with the maids, was kind to them, and was willing to adopt an abandoned and neglected baby girl.
The noble man gave them a home.
A warm home without beating, scolding or reprimanding.
Since she had nothing to do at home, Xiao Ning was not in a hurry to return to the mansion. She sat on the warm kang and played with the children tirelessly.
It made the children giggle.
Seeing how much Xiao Ning loved children, Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh. If the lady hadn't done anything foolish back then, the Marquis would probably be married and have children of his own now.
Unfortunately, there is no if, everything is already destined.
