Chapter 39: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 11
Shen Chi Su limped back to the room and was in a daze for a long time.
In the past, she just thought that it was Shen Yanshu's wish.
But she didn't expect that Ning Changting also liked her dull and boring sister!
Shen Chi Su felt inexplicably panicked.
Yes, she was unwilling to marry Ning Changting, but as long as Lady Ning Hou still regarded her as her future daughter-in-law, she would still love her very much.
But if Ning Changting and Shen Yanshu were together, everything she has now would be gone!
Shen Chi Su gritted her teeth. She would never let this happen!
Half a month had passed as agreed, Shen Chi Su completed her punishment and came to Yunruixuan, the wife of Ning Hou.
After this incident, Lady Ninghou's attitude towards her became much colder.
In the past, whenever I saw Shen Chi Su suffer a minor injury, I would feel heartbroken for a long time.
Seeing her limping, Lady Ninghou just glanced at her and said nothing.
Shen Chi Su felt very sad and determined to stop Shen Yanshu from marrying into the Marquis's Mansion.
Lady Ning Hou returned the resignation letter that she had sent to the palace earlier to her, and said calmly, "You got what you wished for."
Shen Chi Su shed tears: "Mother, do you have to be so cold? Although I have selfish motives, it is also true that Ning Changwen wronged me."
"And it's not that I don't care about my sister, but I was confused and panicked at the time, and I could only open my mouth to prove my innocence, so how could I say anything else?"
She cried so sadly that even Lady Ninghou, who had made up her mind to ignore her, softened her heart a little.
"Have you applied medicine on your knees?" After all, this was a child she had cared for for so many years, Lady Ninghou couldn't help but show concern.
Shen Chi Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tried even harder to please, and the mother and daughter finally reconciled.
While the relationship was still warm, Shen Chi Su suggested: "Mother, Yan Shu now has scars on her body, which may affect her marriage. It is better to help her find a husband as soon as possible, so that she will have more time to choose a good family."
Lady Ninghou nodded: "You are right. I will arrange it right away."
After all, Cha Jiu saved Chang Ting, so she couldn't let this become a burden for her when she got married.
When Shen Chi Su left Yunruixuan, she happened to meet Ning Changting who was going to visit Cha Jiu on her way back to Tingyuxuan.
"The prince is really punctual every day."
Shen Chi Su, who usually kept silent, greeted people today, which was rare.
Ning Changting didn't want to pay any attention to her and walked straight to Cha Jiu's room.
Shen Chi Su suddenly said: "Prince, you like my sister, but have you ever considered her lifelong happiness?"
Sure enough, these words made Ning Changting stop.
Shen Chi Su continued, "My sister is not a fertile woman. If she marries someone else, she might have children and grandchildren. But if she marries you, they may be in love now, but can you guarantee that she won't regret it in the future?"
"What if you pass away before her in the future, and she becomes childless, lonely and old? What will happen then?"
The aura around Ning Changting suddenly became cold.
He dislikes Shen Chisu very much.
But it must be said that what Shen Chi Su said was exactly what he had been worried about.
He really likes Cha Jiu.
But is he qualified?
Ning Changting looked up and for the first time realized that the few steps leading to Cha Jiu's room seemed distant and heavy.
…
Cha Jiu discovered that Ning Changting seemed to be avoiding him recently.
It used to come every day, but now it only comes after a few days.
Moreover, the time he stayed in Tingyuxuan became shorter and shorter, sometimes he just took a quick look.
Cha Jiu occasionally asked indirect questions, but Ning Changting just said nonchalantly that it was due to his busy work.
System: "Ning Changting's favorability has been stagnant at 50% for a long time. You are seriously hurt."
Cha Jiu: "The injury doesn't count, but the scar does."
System: "So you didn't use scar removal medicine because you had other plans."
Before Cha Jiu could answer, the door was knocked open and the person who came in was none other than Lady Ninghou, who looked very happy.
"Mother." Cha Jiu was about to get up from the bed to salute, but was supported by Lady Ninghou.
"Silly child, you saved Chang Ting and are now the benefactor of the Marquis' Mansion. You don't need to be so polite."
Cha Jiu: "Mother, I don't expect to repay your kindness, but I can't abandon my courtesy."
Lady Ninghou was deeply moved.
In the past, she always had a prejudice against Cha Jiu's beauty.
Now that she has put aside her prejudice, she realizes what a good child this is.
It was worth it that I carefully selected her marriage partner.
"I'm here today for your marriage." Lady Ninghou glanced at Cha Jiu and found that there was nothing unusual on her face, then she spoke slowly.
"Yanshu, you are also at the age to discuss marriage. I think if you meet someone sooner, you will have more choices."
Lady Ning held a book in her hand and said, "These are all good families I picked out. There is the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, and the eldest son of the Minister of the Supreme Court... In short, they are all people with good character and talent. Are you willing to take a look at them?"
If Cha Jiu was unwilling, Lady Ninghou would not force her.
The Marquis of Jingyuan was willing to support her for the rest of her life with great wealth.
Cha Jiu thought for a moment without looking at the book: "It's up to mother to decide."
Lady Ninghou said happily, "Okay, okay, I'll go and make the arrangements. You guys can look at them first. If they're not suitable, mother will choose for you."
There are so many good men in Shengjing, and she can always find the most suitable one for Cha Jiu.
After Lady Ning Hou left, the system jumped up and said, "You are crazy! How can you give birth to a child for Ning Changting if you marry someone else?"
Cha Jiu looked at the scar on his back in the bronze mirror, frowning at the ugliness: "Now Ning Changting is hiding from me. If I don't give him a direct blow, he won't admit that he likes me."
Men usually wait until they are about to lose something before they dare to look directly into their own hearts.
Lady Ninghou was very efficient in getting things done, and soon she invited the eldest son of the Minister of Rites to come over in the name of Ning Changting.
Unexpectedly, when they saw each other, they were both shocked.
Cha Jiu: “It’s you.”
Han Ping: “It’s you”
Lady Ning looked left and right and said, "Do you know each other?"
Han Ping told him the truth about his adventure on the mountain.
After hearing about the scene, Lady Ninghou began to hold Cha Jiu's hand distressedly and wiped her tears.
When no one was paying attention, Han Ping quietly said to the servant beside him, "Go to the palace quickly to find Prince Ning and tell him that Lady Ning asked me to meet his wife."
The servant's face turned pale, and he hurried out of the door, riding his horse as fast as he could.
Cha Jiu didn't really want to meet Han Ping, so he just chatted with him casually like a friend.
Lady Ninghou was very satisfied with the harmonious atmosphere between the two.
It seems that she got the right idea from this score.
The tea had been refilled less than twice when Ning Changting, dressed in a crimson official uniform, came in, looking cold.
Lady Ninghou was surprised: "Why are you here..."
Before she finished her words, Ning Changting had already pulled Cha Jiu up with a stern face and ran away.
Lady Ninghou gave Han Ping an awkward smile, secretly cursing Ning Changting in her heart.
Han Ping continued to drink his tea calmly.
Ning Changting took Cha Jiu to Tingyuxuan, saying nothing along the way, looking cold and lonely.
The servants bowed to greet him, but he ignored them.
Cha Jiu was a little surprised.
Ning Changting has always been a polite, well-behaved, noble and elegant person.
She had never seen him so out of control.
When they entered Tingyuxuan, Ning Changting said coldly to all the shocked servants: "Get out."
No one dared to provoke anger and left the yard one after another.
The courtyard of Tingyuxuan was empty. Apart from the falling pink petals, there were only two people staring at each other.
Cha Jiu had a bewildered look on her face, her pink lips tightly pursed, as if she was puzzled by his behavior.
Ning Changting stared at the lovely face that had appeared in his dreams thousands of times. The greed in his heart finally broke through the constraints of his upbringing and swallowed up all his reason.
He grasped her soft waist with his big hand, lifted her up and placed her on the stone table, at the same height as himself.
We are so close that we can hear each other's breath.
The aroma of rose wine was tempting, and Ning Changting kissed the pink and plump lips without hesitation, drowning out Cha Jiu's exclamation.
