Chapter 9: Past Events
"After hearing a few words from you like this, you can't stand it anymore. Are you going to follow a stranger like that and wander the world?"
Nangong Hua suddenly became angry for some reason. Instead of feeling sorry for the child being bullied, he got angry first.
"Uncle Yang, please use the family rules and teach him a lesson! I don't have such a clueless nephew!"
Seeing him so angry, Pu Qiongzhi couldn't figure out why he reacted like that.
Nangong Jiayu was already crying hard, and after being yelled at by him, she was frightened and cried heartbreakingly.
It was really unfortunate that Chunjing called a group of servants in to serve the meal at this time.
Nangong Hua's anger was interrupted.
He suddenly looked at Pu Qiongzhi, who was sitting beside him with a somewhat embarrassed look, and his anger suddenly stopped.
"Madam...please forgive me." After saying that, he became a little reserved for some reason.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't know how to react at this moment, so she could only smile awkwardly and say, "Why don't we have dinner first?"
She winked at Uncle Yang, who was sweating profusely beside her.
The other party was also quick to react. He quickly picked up the still crying Nangong Jiayu and left.
…
After being interrupted by such a storm, the meal was as silent as death.
Nangong Hua didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and after what happened, he couldn't eat anymore.
He wasn't hungry, but Pu Qiongzhi was. She'd gone to the flower viewing banquet early in the morning, then met the princess, and then returned to Qinglan Academy. She'd only eaten a few cakes the entire day.
After finally waiting for the meal, the uncle and nephew were making a fuss back and forth...
Nangong Hua fell into deep thought while holding the bowl and chopsticks.
In his previous life, he served as the Ninth Prince's aide, supporting him all the way to the throne of the Nine Fives.
Nine sons fight for the throne, it’s a bloody storm... How dangerous is it?
Even though he followed cautiously, in the end he was still implicated by this incompetent nephew!
The emperor was heartless and had been planning to settle accounts with him, but his good nephew just teamed up with the traitor for personal gain!
He was angry that he was an uneducated and dissolute young man who could not see the situation in the court but got involved in it; he resented that he only knew how to indulge in sensual pleasures and be deceived without knowing it!
Therefore, even though he was reborn a year ago, he still couldn't like this nephew who was framed and dragged him into trouble because of his stupidity!
Why should he, just because he is the elder, forgive such a rebellious son who implicated his entire family? How many lives were lost!!!
When he came to his senses and was about to explain, he saw his wife drinking soup gracefully one mouthful after another...
Seeing how fragrant the perfume she used was, Nangong Hua was so full of words that he couldn't say a word.
After eating and drinking her fill, Pu Qiongzhi turned around and said, "If you trust me, my Lord, please let me handle Yu'er's affairs."
"..." Hearing that she was going to take the responsibility for this matter, Nangong Hua frowned so much that he could kill a fly.
Seeing that he didn't agree to her for a long time, Pu Qiongzhi didn't feel surprised.
After all, she was a newly married bride who had not dealt with any serious matters, so it was understandable that people did not trust her.
"You don't have to worry about this child, just let him fend for himself!" Nangong Hua was silent for a while, but finally added this sentence.
Pu Qiongzhi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to say that, and then she said, "Don't worry, uncle."
Aren't people usually afraid that their aunts and uncles won't take good care of them, so they don't dare to entrust them easily? He doesn't seem like a biological uncle!
However, she herself would not put in much effort. At most, she would take care of it a little more in her spare time. With so many servants serving in the Bo's Mansion, it would not be a big deal for her.
After finalizing this matter, Nangong Hua walked into the inner room, took out a box and handed it to her.
"You've worked hard today on this evil matter. If you don't have enough money, you can withdraw it from the account at the mansion."
Pu Qiongzhi was slightly stunned, then responded with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
What he said sounded nice, but he just didn't want to be in charge of the finances of the mansion.
Anyway, their marriage was not legitimate, so it didn't matter to her whether she was in charge of the accountant of the Bo's Mansion or not, as long as it didn't affect her business!
She took the box and asked unconsciously, "What is this?"
"It cost me one thousand two taels of silver to redeem this brat. Let this be considered as compensation." After saying this, Nangong Hua stood up and went to the inner room to change clothes.
There was actually compensation? Pu Qiongzhi casually opened it and took a look, but was shocked.
This... this is actually the restaurant she had negotiated with so much effort earlier?!
The shopkeeper suddenly changed his mind, saying that a powerful man had taken over the shop first, but it turned out that he was talking about his own uncle?
"Uncle... where did you find this?" Pu Qiongzhi was very surprised and walked into the inner room to ask.
Nangong Hua had just taken off his clothes, revealing his strong and spacious chest, "..."
Before he could speak, Pu Qiongzhi turned her face away unnaturally, her pretty face flushed slightly with embarrassment, "Master, you are changing clothes. I am really rude."
Although the two were already married, she still couldn't help but blush.
As a man, the uncle had an extraordinary appearance, and she really couldn't bear such a scene.
"Yeah. It's okay." Nangong Hua changed his underwear in no time.
"I was hanging out with a friend a while ago and happened to hear the owner was selling this shop, so I bought it."
"Aren't you planning to buy a shop in the capital and open a restaurant? I think this one is perfect."
Pu Qiongzhi heard him change his clothes and revealed a pair of bright eyes, "This is really perfect... Thank you for taking the trouble for me~"
With this shop, she can easily connect it with the eldest princess's shop... In this way, the restaurant will surely be a great success!
Hearing her soft and sweet thanks, Nangong Hua just responded lightly, as if it was just a small thing.
In fact, before this, he had inquired from many sources before getting the information about this restaurant.
Because he remembered that the first thing his wife did after arriving in Beijing in his previous life was to purchase this shop to open a restaurant. However, at that time... his wife had become the Ninth Prince's concubine and had no choice.
The Ninth Prince did not allow her to do business in public at that time, and as a concubine she was also restricted by many things. Even leaving the house required the permission of the mistress.
This shop was not wasted later. The ninth prince used it to open a Qinlou to collect intelligence.
Once in his previous life, he was accidentally injured and stayed there for a long time to recuperate... It was also at that time that he learned that it was the property she had purchased.
Nangong Hua looked at the surprised woman in front of him, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
After his rebirth, the first thing he did was to plan to marry her. This was what he had always dreamed of in his previous life!
Now, she is his wife, but he still feels that everything is so unreal.
He was often frightened, and when he woke up he found that it was all a dream.
Thinking of this, Nangong Hua stretched out his arms and embraced the woman's waist...
