Nangong Zichen instantly beamed with joy and gave Jing Qingyun a big hug.
"Brother-in-law, I knew you were the best, hehe. I'm very relieved to leave my sister in your care. However, my sister is too domineering. From now on, you should still go along with her wishes, but..."
Jing Qingyun shook her head with amusement, "But what?"
Nangong Zichen frowned slightly, glanced at Sheng Lingwei secretly, and whispered, "But don't let my sister do whatever she wants. There are some things you absolutely mustn't do, understand?"
Nangong Zichen sighed with worry, feeling like he was just an old man who was constantly worrying about his sister.
But her heartless older sister was standing there, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop. Her giggles sounded like a hen laying eggs, and she didn't seem to find it annoying at all.
Cough cough...
Of course! No matter what, his sister is the best sister in the world.
Nangong Zichen's eyes darted around, and he leaned close to Jing Qingyun's ear, continuing, "Brother-in-law, my mother has not yet been found, and my sister has not yet recognized my father. Even if you want to get married, you will have to get the consent of my father and mother."
You absolutely cannot get married without even meeting your parents. It's disrespectful to them and irresponsible to yourselves.
Jing Qingyun was slightly taken aback, looking at Nangong Zichen with a complicated expression. He really didn't expect that a ten-year-old child could think so thoroughly.
Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered slightly.
She couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at her younger brother's back, her nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears.
It seems that my younger brother has always longed for a family reunion, but the lack of family affection has shaped his mature and steady personality at a young age.
Why!
She felt she wasn't a good older sister.
It seems she needs to find her mother as soon as possible so that her younger brother can meet the mother he has been longing for.
Nangong Zichen had no idea what the two were thinking, and continued, "Brother-in-law, I asked Sister Baiji before, and she said that girls shouldn't get married too early, otherwise it's bad for their health. It's best to wait until they are eighteen years old."
I don't quite understand the specifics, but I do know that my sister is only of marriageable age and has three years left until she turns eighteen.
I don't want anything bad to happen to my sister, brother-in-law, do you understand what I mean?
Seeing Nangong Zichen's serious expression, Jing Qingyun nodded solemnly, "Wuyou, I promise you, I will never do anything to harm your sister's body before she turns eighteen."
"That's more like it. I hope my brother-in-law can keep his word and not make me look down on you, and even more so, not make me hold a grudge against you for the rest of my life."
Jing Qingyun: ...
Is his character really so untrustworthy?
"Don't worry, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
Having achieved his goal, a sly glint flashed in Nangong Zichen's eyes, and a smile returned to his face.
What a joke! He is the Crown Prince of the Southern Di Kingdom, who has been carefully cultivated by the ministers since childhood. How could he be a clueless fool who knows nothing?
whee……
After this incident, I believe...
The older sister and brother-in-law have a sense of balance and won't accidentally go astray.
Sheng Lingwei quickly changed the subject, afraid that if her younger brother continued, she, as the older sister, would feel ashamed.
"Wuyou, what did you want to say to your sister just now?"
Nangong Zichen's smile faded.
"Sister, it's like this. Uncle Kui and I have discussed it and decided to rush back to Nan Di immediately. We, Nan Di, will never tolerate the shameless behavior of the Western Zhou Kingdom."
At this point, Nangong Zichen exuded an aura of imperial power and angrily flung his sleeves.
"Hmph, do they really think that just because I, the Southern Di, have been dormant for ten years, we are easy to bully? I really don't know where they got the audacity to go against the Southern Di?"
Sheng Lingwei reached out and patted Nangong Zichen on the shoulder, "Good job, little brother. I have high hopes for you. Like I said before, when you lead the troops to attack Western Zhou, my brother-in-law and I will come to help you."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Nangong Zichen's imposing aura subsided, and he reverted to being the obedient and clingy younger brother, holding Sheng Lingwei's hand and acting coquettishly.
"Sister, it's a promise, right? I'll send you a message when the time comes, and you must come to find me! I'll be unhappy if you break your promise."
"Alright, alright." Sheng Lingwei smiled indulgently. "I always keep my word and would never go back on my promise. By the way, when are you leaving?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Zichen's shoulders slumped, and he hugged Sheng Lingwei tightly, his eyes reddening and his voice choked with emotion.
“Sister, the Northern Qi is far from the Southern Di, so I plan to leave now. But I just can’t bear to part with you. I don’t know when I will be able to see you again after this parting.”
As they talked, Nangong Zichen didn't want to leave, but as the Crown Prince of Nandi, he couldn't be so selfish; he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the Crown Prince of a nation.
In addition, his father's health was already poor, and he didn't want him to continue to work so hard.
Sheng Lingwei's eyes reddened.
She hugged her younger brother tightly.
To be honest, she also couldn't bear to be separated from her younger brother.
But that's life. Everyone has their own mission, and it's impossible to be tied together for a lifetime. Separation is a normal thing.
"Little brother, have you forgotten that your sister has a special space where she can go wherever she wants? If your sister misses you in the future, she can come to see you anytime."
But we need to know the exact location.
Otherwise, even with space, one is like a headless fly, unable to find direction.
Nangong Zichen smiled through his tears, looked up at Sheng Lingwei with reluctance, and held out his little finger to her, "Sister, it's a promise, you have to come find me anytime. Come on, let's pinky swear."
Sheng Lingwei smiled indulgently, extending her little finger to hook Nangong Zichen's little finger, "Okay, pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years."
She hadn't done something so childish in a long time. In her memory, the only person she could pinky swear with was Xiaoyunzi.
Jing Qingyun felt something, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she looked at Sheng Lingwei with tender affection.
Sheng Lingwei blushed, gave Jing Qingyun a coquettish glare, and then led Nangong Zichen into the space.
Jing Qingyun: ...He was abandoned! t_t
"Little brother, take out your storage bag. Put whatever you want in it, and don't be shy with your older sister."
Nangong Zichen nodded with a smile, "Sister, I love this kind of thing where I can get a good deal. Don't worry, I won't hold back at all."
Love is mutual. After he returns to Nandi, he will definitely collect more rare and exotic treasures to give to his sister.
Forget it, my sister already has a lot of treasures in her space. I'd better play to her tastes and just find the corrupt official and have my sister confiscate his property.
His older sister has everything she needs.
His only hobby was raiding homes.
Furthermore, if there's any beast I don't like, I'll strike it with lightning and obliterate it on the spot.
Because of this hobby, she was teased by her brother Yue Mingxi, who said that she could plunder houses with her left hand and strike lightning with her right, making her invincible.
That's a pretty accurate description. His older sister is indeed that domineering and powerful; you won't find another sister in the world as free-spirited as her.
