Song Ning nodded: "Yes, we are from the same village after all, so we know each other better. He was willing, so it's settled."
Xie Linzhou's breath hitched, his slightly upturned lips froze, and his eyes instantly reddened: "Didn't you promise me?"
ah?
Song Ning looked completely innocent: "Agree to what?"
She had previously wanted Xie Linzhou to be a model for her shop, but when she thought about his status, she gave up the idea.
Zhou Ling'an is more suitable; he's tall and has a decent figure, making him perfect as her model.
On the way, the two agreed that he would try on all the men's clothing in her shop first, and especially wear it out to show it off at the academy.
Apart from those recommended from the local area, the students at the academy were mostly from wealthy families. They had plenty of money to buy new clothes.
Isn't this a good opportunity to promote her?
Looking at Xie Linzhou's expression, it was as if the sky had fallen.
He asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the general?"
"You...you really chose him?"
He nodded. "Ah."
Xie Linzhou was unsteady on his feet. He couldn't stay any longer. He had come to see Song Ning with great joy, but now he had chosen someone surnamed Zhou right in front of him.
They even said they would keep their word; they're just lying.
He gave a wry smile. Oh well, Song Ning never liked him anyway.
Staggering out the door, Song Ning was puzzled, and the other two were even more puzzled.
"Master, General Xie, what's wrong with this?"
He shook his head: "I don't know."
A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it's truly unfathomable and untouchable.
She asked Zhou Ling'an to be her model. Did this really have such a big impact on him?
Does he also want to be her model? To the point that he'd be heartbroken if he didn't get the job?
I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure it out.
"It should be fine, so I'll just leave. Alright, let's get back to work."
Xie Linzhou left the mansion full of vigor, but when he returned, he looked as if all his energy had been drained away, and he was completely lost.
Zhang Ping followed behind, asking worriedly, "Young Master, what's wrong? Haven't you seen Miss Song?"
When Xie Linzhou went out today, he went alone because he felt that Zhang Ping was in the way, so he didn't let him come along.
Who knew that he would come back not long after he left, and when he came back he looked like he was half dead.
Then he went straight into his study and wouldn't respond no matter how many times they called him.
Zhang Ping was worried and quickly reported the matter to Princess Jianing.
Princess Jianing rushed over immediately, "What happened?"
"I don't know either. Young Master said he was going to see Miss Song today. After he came back, he was in a daze and didn't say anything. He went into his study and never came out again. I was afraid something had happened, so I reported it to Your Highness."
Something must have happened.
The study door wasn't opened from the inside until evening.
The people outside were in a state of panic and chaos.
Xie Linzhou didn't seem to be in any trouble.
"Linzhou, has something happened?"
"No, Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that there are some things I haven't figured out yet, which has made you worry."
"Are you really alright?"
Xie Linzhou smiled and said, "It's really nothing. It's getting late, Mother, you should go back and rest. Don't tire yourself out."
Princess Jianing was worried and repeatedly instructed Zhang Ping to keep a close eye on the person before she left.
The night passed peacefully. Xie Linzhou ate dinner, washed up, and went to bed.
But the next morning, when it was already broad daylight, Xie Linzhou should have been up and practicing martial arts long ago, according to his usual routine.
But today, there was no movement inside.
"Young Master, are you awake?"
No one answered from inside. Zhang Ping pushed open the door and went into the inner room. Xie Linzhou was still lying on the bed, and Zhang Ping called him several times but he didn't wake up. So he quickly shouted, "Someone, go and call the doctor!"
Xie Linzhou, who had slept all night, fell ill in the morning.
When asked how he fell ill, the doctor couldn't say, only that his pulse was unstable, cold pathogens had entered his body, and his liver fire was excessive.
Actually, I was just angry.
He was angered by Song Ning.
Xie Linzhou thought about it for a long time yesterday, but he was still unwilling to give up. He even planned to sneak into the Song family in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep to find Song Ning and ask her for clarification.
But who knew that when I woke up in the middle of the night, I was so feverish that I couldn't get up at all.
Because he was angered by Song Ning during the day, and then fell ill at night, how could he not be so anxious and upset?
The doctor prescribed some medicine and said there was nothing seriously wrong, just need to rest and recover.
Xie Linzhou rarely got sick except when he was injured on the battlefield. Once he was sick, he would not recover for a while.
Yesterday's events have been investigated and confirmed. Xie Linzhou did meet with Song Ning, but no one knows what they talked about.
Princess Jianing came out of the room and whispered to the nanny beside her, "Is it because this boy was dumped by Er Ya and can't accept it that he's sick?"
“Our young master is a calm and composed person, surely not?” the nanny beside him said.
"That's hard to say. He has no experience in this area. Who knows, he might do something to anger Er Ya, and in a fit of anger, Er Ya might dump him."
Granny Chang sighed helplessly. "His Highness's temperament is such that he doesn't even spare his own son."
"Should we go and ask? We need to know what happened."
"Alright, but don't ask directly, or it will seem like we're there to interrogate you. Just invite Er Ya for a cup of tea."
"This servant will go and make the arrangements immediately."
......
After receiving Princess Jianing's letter, Song Ning was puzzled. She had just visited her the day before yesterday, so why was she coming to see her again today?
Without giving it much thought, I went out after noon.
Princess Jianing arranged to meet her at a teahouse, but only Princess Jianing and one of her maids came.
"Your Highness," Song Ning bowed respectfully.
Princess Jianing smiled warmly and said, "Why bother with formalities with me? Please sit down."
Song Ning stepped forward and sat down. Princess Jianing, taking a roundabout approach, asked, "Er Ya, there's something I'd like to ask you."
"Please speak, Your Highness."
"Did Linzhou come to see you yesterday?"
"Yes." Seeing their expressions, he asked again, "But what happened?"
Princess Jianing smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I heard... you and Linzhou have reached a consensus?"
Song Ning hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did General Xie say that?"
Princess Jianing quickly spoke up for him, saying, "Don't blame him, it was I who insisted on asking."
That's fine. What she found strange was that Xie Linzhou actually said they were of one mind.
When did this happen?
We did mention it last time in the mountains, but when it came to having children, Xie Linzhou was unwilling, wasn't he?
What does this mean now?
"Your Highness, you may have misunderstood. General Xie and I are still the same as before."
"What?" Princess Jianing couldn't help but raise her voice.
Her son didn't say...
"To be honest, we did bring this up, but... General Xie refused."
Since you refused, it doesn't count.
