Chapter 215 Girl, your face is so red
Tang Ning covered her face and spitted at herself. Her brother was handsome, and his face really attracted people's attention. It was rare for him to smile so wildly and brilliantly, but how could she stare at him and lose her focus?
She clearly had no interest in him and wanted to distance herself from him without leaving any trace, but...
"Girl?"
ah!
Tang Ning was startled by Hua Wu who suddenly pushed the door open. When he looked up, he staggered backward and knocked over things on the table.
Hua Wu, who was about to enter the door, was frightened by the "clang" sound. Her foot, which was about to come in, stepped on the door frame, and her little face was full of helplessness.
Tang Ning frantically supported the things on the table and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Hua Wu whispered, "The princess has woken up. I was worried that the girl would ask questions when she returned, so I came to tell you that Sister Nianxia has gone to look after the princess, and the head of the Gu family is also there with her..."
She paused, her eyes falling on Tang Ning's face: "Girl, why is your face so red?"
Tang Ning raised his hands to cover his face: "How could I?!"
"Why not..." Hua Wu came in and walked to her side: "Look, her ears are also red, and her neck..."
She reached out and touched Tang Ning's earlobe, then said in surprise:
"Why is it still so hot? Are you sick, young lady? I'll go find Doctor Sun..."
"return!!"
Tang Ning grabbed Hua Wu, who was about to leave, and hurriedly pulled her back. Seeing the worried look on the little girl's face, she suddenly felt guilty: "I'm fine, why did you go to see Doctor Sun?"
"But your face is so hot..."
"It's not hot, it's... it's hot, yes, it's hot."
Tang Ning made an excuse. Seeing Hua Wu tilting her head to look at her with a puzzled expression, she quickly put on a serious face and said nonsense: "I just came back from outside in a hurry, so I had a fever for a while. It will subside after this period. Besides, Doctor Sun is busy taking care of my aunt, so don't disturb him."
Hua Wu hesitated: "Really?"
“Really, really.”
She already had something to hide, and if she really asked Doctor Sun to come over, it would be a joke.
Tang Ning was afraid that Hua Wu would keep harping on her blushing, so she changed the subject and asked, "When did my aunt wake up? How was she feeling after she woke up?"
Hua Wu was a simple-minded person, and her question distracted her. "You woke up not long after you and Governor Xiao left. Imperial Physician Sun examined the princess and said that although she was weak, she could recover slowly as long as she woke up. However, the princess also looked a little dazed, and she didn't say a few words until Patriarch Gu passed by."
Tang Ning knew that Gu Helian would definitely protect her aunt, and she also knew that her aunt had been through so much, and it would be difficult for outsiders to relieve the barriers in her heart.
No matter what others say, it is difficult for them to empathize with her. Perhaps only Gu Helian, who was also wronged and carried a bad reputation for many years, could make her aunt willing to say a few words.
Tang Ning asked in a low voice: "Did my aunt ask about the child again?"
Hua Wu shook her head: "No, the princess hasn't mentioned it since she woke up. When I came here, the Gu family master was talking to the princess. I took a peek outside and saw that their eyes were a little red, but they didn't quarrel anymore..."
She had experienced the mouth of the head of the Gu family before. Every time he met the princess, he could not say a single nice word. But this time, he rarely said anything bad. He only talked about some things in the past with the princess.
The two seemed to have mentioned Master Rong and his deceased wife. The princess looked much more lively than when she had just woken up and looked completely numb.
Tang Ning felt relieved after hearing Hua Wu's words.
It is not so easy to untie my aunt's knot in her heart. Both Xie Yin and Prince Cheng have dealt her too much of a blow.
But no matter what happens, as long as she is willing to move on and try to let go, the past will fade away one day and she will be able to start a new life.
"Tell the servants in my aunt's courtyard not to mention Prince Cheng and the others in front of my aunt."
"I know. Lord Xiao has specifically instructed me to tell everyone in the palace that anyone who dares to gossip about those things outside in front of the princess will be treated as a traitor."
The little girl raised her chin, the two buns on her head swayed slightly, and her face looked round when she smiled.
"Tonight, someone in the courtyard was too talkative and talked about the princess and the head of the Gu family. I asked Guard Hang to beat her with twenty boards. I will wait for the girl to come back and make the decision."
"That's called... yes, it's called killing the chicken to scare the monkey. I scared them, and now everyone in the mansion is behaving well."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment: "When did brother tell you that?"
"When I sent the princess back yesterday, Commander Cang came to tell me this. He also taught me that if I catch anyone causing trouble, I should be ruthless and not show mercy. This way, I can scare them off for the girl."
Tang Ning fell silent after hearing this. Xiao Yan had been busy all night with the events at Prince Cheng's Mansion, and he hardly stopped for a moment.
She stayed up all night with her aunt, but did manage to take a short nap after noon. However, Xiao Yan had to deal with the emperor, the court officials who took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, and he also had to lead people to capture those involved in the case from the Ministry of War and the Arsenal.
He hardly slept a wink, and was so busy that he had no time to rest, but he also had to worry about causing trouble in her house.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Hua Wu asked.
"It's nothing. Just sell that man out and don't keep any gossipers in the house." Tang Ning ordered.
Hua Wu said, "Then I'll have someone call the boy over tomorrow morning."
Tang Ning said "hmm".
The little girl learns very quickly. Although she looks young, she is very capable in doing things. And no one knows what Canglang said to her, but she now speaks with a bit of childish fierceness.
She whispered to Tang Ning about things in the mansion, saying that Song Ru had gotten better today. At the same time, she swiftly helped Tang Ning take off the small bun on her head and put the removed hairpin ornaments into the box.
"Hey girl, why is there an extra sachet here?" Hua Wu took a look at it and was immediately surprised: "There are crabapple flowers embroidered on it, it looks exactly like the one in our backyard."
"Are the crabapple trees in the backyard blooming?"
"Some have bloomed. They are all flowers and trees that the governor had moved here. The buds are blooming beautifully. The seeds that were planted separately have also sprouted. They will definitely bloom in two years."
Tang Ning had been so busy with things outside recently that she almost forgot about the crabapple seedlings in the backyard. She whispered, "I'll go check them out tomorrow."
Hua Wu straightened Tang Ning's hair and turned to go out to fetch some water.
Tang Ning sat in front of the dressing table, reaching out to play with the sachet. The faint medicinal fragrance reminded her of Xiao Yan's smile.
I clearly didn't want to think about it and wanted to calm myself down, but it seemed like his shadow was everywhere around me, even Hua Wu kept calling him "Lord Xiao".
It made her feel uneasy.
Tang Ning threw the sachet on the table angrily. When she heard a "bang", she quickly picked it up and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not broken.
Then when he looked up, he saw the girl reflected in the shiny bronze mirror in front of him. She was holding the sachet in her hand, with lingering fear and regret in her eyes, and a trace of visible guilt.
She paused, and a blush appeared on her fair face. The little girl in the mirror also looked like she had rouge on her creamy face, and her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, making her look extremely beautiful.
Tang Ning rubbed the sachet in her hand fiercely and muttered softly, "Why are you blushing?"
My brother didn't do anything...
Pooh.
She didn't do anything, why should she feel guilty?
Opening the drawer on the dressing table, Tang Ning threw the sachet into the box with some annoyance, then slammed the drawer shut with a loud "bang", causing the bronze mirror on it to shake a few times.
Tang Ning was startled and quickly reached out to hold the shaky bronze mirror. He turned his head and looked around guiltily. When he saw that there was no one around, he carefully let go.
Hua Wu, who just came over with water, said: "..."
Is she going in, or is she going in?
