Chapter 277 Sister, be good, let’s not talk
"Really? A real daughter?"
After receiving Bu Ruo's affirmative answer, Zong Ning was happy like a child for a long time.
"You don't know, I've always liked daughters. When I found out I had a son, I lay in my bedroom and cried for several days. If my wet nurse hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to throw him into the well."
"Ah, but he really wasn't very lucky. Even after arriving in his fiefdom and living a stable life, he still didn't live more than two years."
"Well, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm really fine and I've thought it through a long time ago. You're right, everyone has their own destiny. As you said, I'm already very satisfied that he can live this long."
"And he didn't feel any pain when he passed away. He was gone when he was asleep. After all these years, I've let it go. I just still miss him sometimes."
"By the way, Princess, aren't you and the Prince in Kyoto? Why are you here?"
"Don't call me princess anymore, just call me Ruo'er." Bu Ruo recounted the story, and Zong Ning became furious after hearing it.
"What a lousy princess! If I were still in the palace, I would have torn her mouth apart. Any cat or dog wants to marry into the Regent's Palace without even realizing what kind of character they have."
"If you don't want to stay here, I can go back to the inn with you. I've lived in the palace for over twenty years and have seen everything. I can handle a princess easily."
Bu Ruo quickly refused: "Forget it, you're pregnant now. You must be more careful and don't run around all the time. Besides, Princess Beining will steal people's luck. What if she catches you and something happens to you?"
"You can't be careless about being pregnant at your age. Don't worry, I can handle it myself. Where can she go after losing an eye? I'm only keeping her for the compensation to Beining. After all, if we can cause civil unrest in Beining, it's much better than a war between the two countries. Otherwise, the people will suffer."
Zong Ning looked at Bu Ruo for a long while, and finally sighed: "You, you are soft-hearted and decisive, killing whoever you want to kill. You are hard-hearted, but look at what you have done to us and the people..."
Bu Ruo smiled but said nothing. Her current personality was due to what happened in her previous life. In her previous life, she was kind-hearted. Although not as kind as Jin Congcong, she always wanted to be good to others. But in the end, she ended up like that and hurt everyone around her.
Although she cannot get rid of the kindness in her bones if she lives again, she will never give up even if someone does something wrong. Not everyone deserves her kindness.
Bu Ruo looked up at the sky outside and thought, sooner or later, she would make all those people pay the price.
Just when the two were chatting happily, the two children came back.
"Mom, look, Uncle Cui gave us some wolf cubs. Can we take them away? Bu Bu and my brother like them very much."
Bu Ruo was startled when she saw the snow-white wolf cub in the two men's arms. Then she looked at Zong Ning and asked, "Do you still keep wolves in your house?"
Zong Ning smiled and said, "It wasn't me who raised the dog, it was Cui Hang. The year Yan'er died, a mountain village in Jiangnan was buried by a mudslide. When Cui Hang led people to help, he was almost buried himself. Later, a white wolf suddenly appeared and saved him."
"Later, when he came back, the wolf kept following him for some reason. Seeing that the wolf was intelligent, he simply brought it back and raised it in his mansion. I disagreed at first, but later, seeing that it was truly non-aggressive, I agreed."
"For some reason, after entering the mansion, the wolf stopped sticking to Cui Hang and started sticking to me instead. On weekdays, it would stay by itself, but as soon as Cui Hang was not around, the white wolf would watch me from a distance, as if protecting me."
"Later, Cui Hang saw that it was quite lonely, so he asked someone to find a female wolf. Unexpectedly, they fell in love, and just two months ago, she gave birth to these two wolf cubs."
Bu Ruo opened her mouth and looked at the two little white wolves in Bu Bu and Jin'er's arms thoughtfully. Zong Ning also noticed her abnormality.
"What's wrong? If the two children like them, take them away. They won't hurt anyone. Even though they are wolves, they are very well-behaved, just like puppies."
Bu Ruo shook her head and said, "I didn't say that they can't keep it, but...can I see the white wolf that came back with Cui Hang?"
Although Zong Ning didn't know why, he still had the white wolf brought over. As soon as the white wolf entered the hall, it wanted to come over and act coquettishly as usual, but when it saw Bu Ruo, it stopped abruptly, and lay on the ground, howling and growling in fear.
Zong Ning saw this and quickly walked over and gently touched the top of the white wolf's head: "It's okay, this is my friend who passed by here to see me. She's a very nice person and won't hurt you, don't be afraid."
"Also, Bubu and Jin love your two children very much. This mansion is enough to support you and your wife. We really can't take in any more, otherwise the neighbors will be scared. Just let them take them away, okay? They will treat your two children very well."
"Ruo'er, this is the white wolf. It's incredibly obedient. Look, isn't it beautiful? Its entire body is white, without even a stray hair."
Cui Hang had just brought the two wolf cubs over for the little ones to play with, but hadn't brought the white wolf with him. Bu Bu looked at the white wolf with his eyes wide open: "Mom, what's wrong with this white wolf... Uh, uh, uh..."
Before Bu Bu could finish her words, Xiao Jin covered her mouth with his free hand: "Be good, sister, we won't say anything."
Bu Bu blinked and nodded without saying a word, just staring at the white wolf with curiosity in his eyes.
Not long after, Bu Ruo had someone take the white wolf away. When the white wolf heard that it could walk, it turned around and ran without even looking back without waiting for anyone to lead it.
"Ruo'er, what's with that expression on your face? You're not going to tell me you're afraid of wolves, are you? Actually, I was pretty scared at first, but I got over it after a while."
"Since the two children like it so much, let them take it away. Consider it my gift to them. Other families raise dogs, but we raise wolves. How majestic!"
Bu Ruo coughed lightly, picked up the tea, and looked at her with a conflicted look on his face, not knowing what to say. Zong Ning was extremely anxious.
"Hey, just say whatever you want to say. This is making me feel really nervous. Just tell me what's going on. I've been through a lot over the years, and my heart is incredibly strong now."
Bu Ruo put down his teacup and looked at her seriously: "What I'm going to say next may be a little unbelievable, but I think I should tell you and not hide it from you. But you promise me that you won't get excited after hearing it."
Zong Ning also straightened his expression: "Go ahead and tell me, tell me quickly, I promise I won't get excited."
