Chapter 284 The ancient man is weird
"Wu Jin said he fell in love with her at first sight." Liu Xinyue found it amusing: "Falling in love at first sight, I wonder what that feels like."
"If you don't marry next year, the Emperor will definitely grant you a marriage contract." Liu Zhiyue looked at her cousin and said, "Even if he doesn't grant you a marriage contract, you still have to go through the official matchmaking process. It will be hard for you from time to time."
Speaking of this, Liu Xinyue feels very uncomfortable now. The law that women must get married at the age of 20 should not exist.
Liu Zhiyue picked up the wine cup and said to Chen Heng beside her, "Thank you, Madam. Please."
Shen Hengwei stood up and replied, "County Master, please."
Halfway through the banquet, Shen Heng stood up and toasted each of the ladies one by one. She took a sip each time, sometimes even pretending to do so.
Seeing Zhiyue occasionally looking at Madam Shen Heng, who was so relaxed, Liu Xinyue asked the question that had been on her mind: "Zhiyue, why do you always pay attention to Madam Shen?"
Liu Zhiyue retracted her gaze: "No. By the way, why didn't Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law come today?"
"Eighth sister-in-law and Eighth brother had a quarrel." Liu Xinyue burst into laughter. "Eighth brother got scratched on the face by Eighth sister-in-law. I guess he'll need to recuperate for quite some time."
"Why are you arguing?"
"The eighth prince's wife's cousin had some problems and wanted the eighth prince to help him, but the eighth prince thought she had too many family matters, so he helped her once or twice, but he got annoyed because it kept happening over and over again." Liu Xinyue said.
"Marry a virtuous wife. Such a princess will be worthy of Eighth Brother's love." Liu Zhiyue said.
Towards the end of the meal, the younger girls could no longer sit still and went to play in the yard. The ladies also went out for a walk together to visit the garden.
After Shen Heng exchanged greetings with Madam Qin and other ladies, she went to greet the other ladies.
At this time, Tan Yun came over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chen Heng thought for a moment and said, "Since she's my old master, it's nothing to talk about family matters." Princess Ning sent Nanny Feng away to chat, and this matter was discovered by the assassins stationed in the palace, so Li Hu came to tell her.
After a pause, Shen Heng still walked towards the location Li Hu mentioned. She trusted the Nanny's character, but she didn't trust Princess Ning. She might do something strange that would make it difficult for the Nanny to deal with.
Princess Ning and Nanny Feng were sitting in a pavilion in the small garden. Because the mansion was so big, this corner had not been tidied up yet. The branches were all covered with weeds, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground.
Li Hu saw his wife coming and gave up his seat. It was secluded here, and he could hear the conversation between the two people in the pavilion at the same time.
"Princess, I've told you before that I won't tell anyone about the affairs of the palace. Now that I'm working for the Xie family, I won't tell anyone about the affairs of the Xie family either." Nanny Feng's voice was quite heavy.
"Madam Feng, what you said is really hurtful. When I was in the boudoir, you served me by my side. Now, more than 30 years have passed. I just asked you to come back to the palace more often to reminisce about the past and talk about some things, but you just left me alone, abandoning the old master and only acknowledging the new one. It's a bit cruel." Princess Ning looked at her disappointedly.
"Princess, you know my character well. When I was in the palace, I served you wholeheartedly and never had any second thoughts. After leaving the palace, I let go of the past. If others ask about the palace, I would rather die than tell them. Now I am just the nanny of the Xie family. I hope you will understand, Princess." Nanny Feng said.
She has dedicated more than thirty years to the Ning Wang Mansion. Whether it is the usual reminders to the princess or the education of the legitimate daughters, she always sets an example first. But now she finds that she has failed in everything.
"Madam, there's another relative back home, your deceased brother's son. If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your family."
Nanny Feng looked at Princess Ning in disbelief. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't been back to my hometown for decades. Although I still have relatives, what's the difference between them and strangers? Although I feel sad when Princess says this to me, I feel relieved. Princess, please do whatever you want. I will only do what I should do." After saying this, she bowed and turned to leave the pavilion.
