"Sir, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"
Meng Shijie hurried out of the house covered in dust. He just swept the dust in the house and started to warm the kang.
Ning Yucheng saw Meng Shijie's enthusiasm and said with a smile, "It's okay, everyone is busy."
What I was thinking in my heart was that this guy looked pretty good, but of course he was definitely not comparable to the kids from aristocratic families.
I'm just unlucky that I can't catch my mother's eye.
However, when she thought about her own sister, the legitimate daughter of a prince, marrying such a man, it was understandable that her mother would look down on her.
When his father came, he secretly told him to observe Meng Shijie more and see if he really had no good points.
He couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought of his sister.
It turns out that my sister didn't die that year.
God knows how happy he was when he found out.
Thinking about the life my sister and niece are living now, I can't wait to come.
"Sir, please come in and sit down.
"I...Shuchun, go make tea for my benefactor!"
Meng Shijie welcomed Ning Yucheng into the main room in the yard and wiped the stool again and again with his sleeves.
Ning Yucheng wanted to say no, but then he thought of the purpose of his coming here and didn't say it.
"Don't be so polite, and don't call me benefactor."
As for what his name was, he didn't know for sure. He glanced at Xinghuo, the servant next to him, and Xinghuo understood.
"Call me Prince."
"Yes, Prince."
Meng Shijie brought a stool to Xinghuo as well, "You sit down too."
The prince is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. He is no worse than the prime minister. The followers around him must also be of high status. It is not good to let them just stand there.
Xinghuo politely declined.
It’s not his turn to sit in front of me.
"You're welcome. I prefer standing."
After all, this man is the husband of the eldest lady. Even if the masters don't like him, they have to give him face.
Ning Yucheng sat for a while but did not see his sister and niece.
“What about the rest of the family?
I remember your family didn’t live here last time?”
When Meng Shijie heard this, he thought Ning Yucheng wanted to see his daughter. After all, their family had some relationship with this person, and it was his daughter who was saved.
“Oh, Prince, everyone else is in the house in the village.
It's snowing non-stop these days, and we're worried that the roofs of the villages will collapse, so we're planning to move here.
The houses here are sturdier.
Oh, Prince, you may not know yet, but the two brothers, the former village chief Yang, killed all the women and children in this village..."
Meng Shijie didn't know what to say to the prince, but he suddenly started talking.
As he finished speaking, the Meng family heard that the prince who saved Fubao had arrived. There was snow over a foot deep, and he was still coming here. Something must have happened.
Except for Leng Yingshuang and the baby Fubao, all the family members came.
Ning Yucheng had just heard what Meng Shijie said, and he really didn't know what was going on.
He was also a martial artist. He had heard the footsteps outside a long time ago and immediately stood up, eager to see his sister and niece.
He really misses his niece who looks very much like him.
As a result, he carefully looked at everyone who came, but there was no sign of his sister and niece.
"Sister...where's Fubao?"
Leng Yingshuang didn't want to come, especially since she was called by Princess Ning last time and said those words. Later, the sister of the Crown Prince's Concubine sent people to come and cause trouble. She went there because she was tired of living.
You should get as far away from it as possible.
Even if they might be her real family, she would still decline.
She knew what kind of environment she grew up in. Those wealthy and powerful royal families would definitely look down on a village woman like her.
They might even feel ashamed if they knew she might be their daughter.
The wealthy and powerful are most particular about face and etiquette.
So she didn't want to have anything to do with that family.
She was warming herself by the fire at home with her daughter.
The child is young, so no one else thought of taking him out. It is snowing heavily outside now, and it would be bad if he catches a cold.
Suddenly, there was a noise of footsteps at the door. She did her needlework without looking up and said, "Then the prince must have left. He must have had so much free time to come to our place."
Leng Yingshuang now has no good feelings towards the people in Prince Ning's Mansion.
Ning Yucheng, who had just entered the room, felt like he was stabbed in the heart when he heard his sister's words.
