Ning Mansion, the rear residence.
There is a lounge chair under the shade of trees
Chunqin held a palm-leaf fan in her hand and fanned the person on the recliner. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Young Master Zhou is here again today."
"Hmm?" Ning Wan's bright eyes moved slightly, and her crimson lips parted slightly: "What is he doing here?"
For the past three years, Ning Wan had truly wanted nothing to do with Zhou Wenhuai. Three years ago, she'd said she wanted to avoid suspicion, but she hadn't expected Zhou Wenhuai to be so stubborn.
"I heard that the young master of the Zhou family got the second place in the college entrance examination, so he came to tell the good news to the young lady." Chunqin had something to say, not because of the cause of the incident.
Ning Wan frowned slightly, thinking: The Ning and Zhou families are not related at all, yet he came to the Ning family to announce good news? Could he have developed some mental issues from studying these past three years?
"He came to Ning Mansion to announce the good news. How could he have thought of that?"
Ning Wan remained in the same posture, eyes slightly closed, and spoke calmly.
Just as Chunqin was about to continue speaking, she saw Luzhu coming over with a plate of fruit and placing it on the stone table beside her. She had obviously heard their conversation and muttered:
"He must have not given up on what happened last time. He still wants to gain the lady's trust and then harm her."
"Green Bamboo!" Chunqin spoke first without Ning Wan stopping her.
Lu Zhu glanced at Ning Wan's expression, and after seeing that her young lady was not angry, she continued:
"That's right. He clearly knows that the young lady is engaged, but he, a stranger, comes here every few days more frequently than our future son-in-law. What do those people outside think?"
Three years ago, when Zhou Wenhuai was in a coma, Chunqin and Luzhu still remembered that the young lady went to take care of him. They even thought that the young lady had forgiven the young master of the Zhou family.
However, she didn't expect that since the young master of the Zhou family woke up, the young lady really didn't want to see him again, as if all her affection had been exhausted during the months that the young master of the Zhou family was in a coma.
Chunqin was slightly stunned. For the first time, she felt that Luzhu's thinking was extremely clear.
The future son-in-law indeed comes very rarely, and almost never to see the young lady. If the young lady had not taken the initiative to look for him, the two of them would probably not see each other for a year.
Future son-in-law?
After hearing the key words, Ning Wan raised her eyes slightly, straightened her body slightly, and asked very seriously: "Is he on the list?"
After the young lady changed the subject, the two of them did not hesitate and said in unison: "Yes."
Chunqin thought about the news she had heard from the servant today, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"I heard that my future son-in-law took first place this time."
"And he's even better than the young master of the Zhou family." Lu Zhu, who was listening nearby, quickly added.
Ning Wan's lips curled up slightly, and after breathing a sigh of relief, she lay back again, picked up the letter placed aside, but couldn't concentrate on reading it.
Just as Luzhu said, she became more and more confused about what Zhou Wenhuai was doing.
Xiao Qi thought about it and said the most likely possibility at the moment: [Host, have you ever considered that Zhou Wenhuai really wants to take revenge on you?]
[Host, think about it. Before that incident, everyone thought you and Zhou Wenhuai were childhood sweethearts. When you were old enough, you would definitely get married.]
"But ever since that incident, you haven't reconciled with Zhou Wenhuai, as those people said, and you've even become engaged to a scholar who's far inferior to him."
[Perhaps this incident caused Zhou Wenhuai's self-esteem to be frustrated, and he felt dissatisfied, which is why he repeatedly came to "bother" the host.]
It is no longer the love-brained Xiao Qi. When encountering this situation, it no longer thinks that the villain likes the host, so that's why he is entangled with him. Instead, it considers the possibilities of various situations and chooses the most likely one.
Ning Wan's eyes fell on the lines of densely packed fonts. Finally, she did not directly reply to Xiao Qi with "I don't believe it" as before, but fell into deep thought.
If, as Luzhu and Xiaoqi analyzed, Zhou Wenhuai had a different purpose and wanted to regain her trust, then... that would be too scary.
Ning Wan sighed silently, and when she couldn't figure it out, she calmly replied, "Xiao Qi, can you provide a general idea of Zhou Wenhuai's whereabouts?"
"Like warning me when he's about to do something bad to me?"
"Host, this is certainly possible. Xiao Qi is a man who can even detect the male protagonist's little movements, let alone a villain who hasn't grown up yet."
There was a hint of pride in Xiaoqi's tone, and the whole ball seemed to be a lot more fluffy.
After getting a positive answer, Ning Wan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before she could recover, the familiar electronic sound rang out again.
[Today's suicidal mission is being issued: Go to the male protagonist's residence on South Street, steal the token given to the male protagonist by the third prince Jun Yan, and destroy the male protagonist's opportunity.
Time limit for task completion: six hours.
Penalty for mission failure: You cannot stay more than ten meters away from the hero within three days, and you need to say ten cheesy love words to him every day.
(Tip: The mission penalty will be enforced. If the mission fails and the host is not within a safe distance from the male protagonist, the host will most likely experience heartache, backache, leg pain... In severe cases, the entire body will ache.)]
The third prince Jun Yan?
He acted quickly and started poaching people.
