Chapter 115: Jealousy in the Previous Life
Nymph felt a little absurd.
She had never had such an intimate behavior with Meng Ze, so how did Meng Ze know?
The scar on Nymph's chest was caused by a hairpin placed beside the bathtub when she was twelve years old. The only people who knew that she had the scar on her chest were her mother, and Dongzhu and Yuhuan, who served her.
It was natural that her mother would not reveal her private affairs. Dongzhu grew up with her and took care of her in everything. It was impossible for her to betray her. The only person who could reveal this matter was Yuhuan.
Yuhuan was a girl rescued by Ningfu from a brothel. She had been sold by her parents when she was young. Ningfu saw that she was pitiful and capable, so she let her stay by her side and serve her. Later, when they got married, she became her dowry maid.
Nymph always treated her as her own sister and confided in her about all her private matters.
She recalled something. After getting married, she ran into Meng Ze when she went out of the house. Seeing that she was on guard, Meng Ze sneered and asked her, "He doesn't even bother to touch you, so what's the point of you hiding from me?"
Ning Fu thought at the time that Zong Si had told her privately that he didn't like her, and she felt upset for a while.
But now it seems that maybe Yuhuan is his spy planted by his side, so he knows that his cousin Siwei has slept with him, and he also knows his whereabouts.
Her mood was inevitably complicated. She trusted Yuhuan very much, but now she felt a chill on her back. The closest person to her might just be the pair of eyes staring at her.
"I have never liked the Sixth Prince. I just had to play along with him. As for the scar on my chest, it was Yuhuan who told him about it." Ning Fu said, "If he said those words to the prince, I'm afraid he was maliciously trying to sow discord between me and the prince."
Even if they don't say they like it, no one can accept such a cuckold. A man as proud as Zong Si must be even more bothered in his heart, so even after getting married for a long time, he refused to come to Jinghuaju.
"No wonder he doesn't want to talk to me every time I talk about the Sixth Prince." The most memorable time was when they both took off their clothes, and she inadvertently mentioned whether he was going to see Meng Ze today, and then he no longer cared.
Even the slightest reaction he had was gone. He let go of her, turned his back and lay there without any interest, saying coldly, "Go to sleep."
At that time, Nymph thought that her body was no longer attractive to him. If her husband was indifferent in this matter, it would be a humiliation for a woman.
But she didn't want to cry in front of him, so she drove him away and said, "If you don't want to have a baby, go to the study and sleep."
Zong Si glanced at her and said, "It's winter now, and the study is cold."
"I can go too." She forced a smile.
The man looked at her expressionlessly, finally stood up, put on his clothes, and left without looking back.
In fact, a while ago, after the two learned archery, their relationship had eased a lot, but then it fell to the bottom again.
But he didn't know whether she mentioned Meng Ze. He thought he was asking about Meng Ze.
…
Lu Xingzhi looked at her, his expression a little dazed.
Obviously, he had not guessed that the truth would be so ridiculous.
Ning Fu thought that perhaps the misunderstandings between her and Zong Si in the previous life might be more than she imagined, but it didn’t matter at the moment.
"Mr. Lu, I'm here to ask you to do something for me today." Ning Fu said, "Please find a folk martial arts expert who is good at martial arts to help me go to Huaishuo to rescue someone."
She took out a package and said, "This is silver."
Ning Fu couldn't trust anything related to the government, and similarly, she couldn't trust other people for help, so she could only ask Lu Xingzhi for this matter.
In her previous life, her father was demoted, and she and her mother returned to their ancestral home, Huaishuo, and saved a young man. She might not go to Huaishuo again in this life, but Ning Fu was still willing to save that young man. She always felt that the young man was a little different, and if she didn't save him, it seemed that she would miss something important.
Lu Xingzhi paused and said, "Okay."
"You must not reveal any clues about this matter. I don't know who the person I saved is. Maybe he is not from Dayan." Ning Fu said. The man left in such a hurry, it was obvious that he didn't want her to recognize who he was.
Lu Xingzhi said: "I will find someone for the fourth lady, but you can take the silver back with you."
"Could it be possible to use Mr. Lu's salary as a subsidy for me?" she joked with a smile.
"I have other ways to make money." Lu Xingzhi looked at her.
"I don't know if it's my illusion, but Mr. Lu seems to be devoted to me wholeheartedly after his rebirth. I don't know what kind of kindness I have shown to Mr. Lu that would make him do this. I only hope that Mr. Lu can live well for himself in this life." Ning Fu looked at him, her eyes as bright as stars.
Lu Xingzhi looked at her, feeling a little warm but also a little bitter in his heart.
She said, you have to live for yourself.
"Not everyone has the opportunity to live again, so you and I should cherish it. When we are old and recall our youth, we will have more things to talk about than others." Nymph smiled and said, "Mr. Lu must take care of himself and not always do jobs that are risky."
Whether it was suppressing bandits in Liangzhou or going to Northern Qi to inquire about food and grass, it was extremely dangerous. Even if she survived a lifetime, Ning Fu knew that she was not completely sure.
"Living to old age is a very distant thing." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.
"You and I will both live to be a hundred years old." Nymph said seriously.
Lu Xingzhi looked at her, and he also thought that if he could really live to be a hundred years old, he could accompany her for the rest of his life.
"I will try my best." Lu Xingzhi said seriously.
Nymph thought that perhaps it was because she had died once, so she always felt uncertain about the words "live a long life", even for her.
When Ning Fu left, Lu Xingzhi raised his hand, as if he wanted to hug her. She stood there for a moment, but he did not make any other moves. He just gently reminded her, "Fourth Miss, be careful on the road."
Nymph smiled and nodded.
However, Ning Zhenyuan finally returned to Beijing after Ning Fu waited day after day.
The Ningguo Mansion had not been so lively for a long time. When Mrs. Ning saw how thin he was, she burst into tears and said, "My son has suffered a lot. Fortunately, the emperor was clear-minded and did not let my son suffer in vain."
"Mother, don't be sad. Your son is in Liangzhou and everything is fine." Although Ning Zhenyuan said this, he was also somewhat moved.
Madam Ning had just been devastated by the incident at Princess Kangyang's mansion, and now that she saw her husband, she felt a little relieved. Ning Zhenyuan had been traveling day and night in Liangzhou, and he looked much older than he was a year ago. He was still handsome and dashing at the age of forty, but now he had been through a lot and had many wrinkles on his face.
"Madam." After Ning Zhenyuan had appeased Madam Ning, he walked towards his wife. The couple naturally had countless things to say, but after thousands of words, they only turned into one sentence in the end, "I'm back."
"I'm glad you're back." Madam Ning let him hold her hand.
Ning Fu and Ning Zheng both stood there without moving and did not step forward to disturb them.
Ning Zhenyuan felt complicated when he saw his daughter.
This time when he returned to the capital, he was escorted by people from Prince Xuan's Palace. Qu Yang, who was beside Zong Si, also followed him secretly.
He thanked him, knowing that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and said, "If the prince has any instructions, Commander Qu can tell me."
Qu Yang just smiled and said, "Master Ning, don't be on guard. The Fourth Lady's affairs are the Crown Prince's affairs, and they are all as they should be."
Zong Si is not his son-in-law, so how can it be his right?
Ning Zhenyuan was afraid that Zong Si's plan was to make him the son-in-law.
