Chapter 126: Frontier Evening
Ning Fu stood at the door of the old house, looking at the words "Ning House" in front of her.
The original white walls of the old house have turned grayish white due to its age, and there are also a few fallen green tiles at the bottom of the wall. However, Ning Zhenyuan has never let go of the old house in Huaishuo, and the servants have kept it quite clean.
"This is the house your great-grandfather once lived in." Madam Ning supported Ning Fu as they walked inside. "Your father has always wanted to come and take a look, but he never found the opportunity. I didn't expect you to come here first. The only thing your mother is worried about is that you won't be able to get used to living here."
This was not the first time that Nymph came back.
In her previous life, she also lived here for half a year, but it was not a happy life. Her father was demoted and her relationship with her mother was very bad. During the past six months in Huaishuo, both she and her mother were worried.
Because their father was demoted, their relatives in Huaishuo didn't like them and their daughter very much, so they didn't visit them often.
"As long as I'm with my mother, I'll be happy no matter what." Nymph curled her eyes.
Madam Ning sighed and said, "If the Sixth Prince hadn't set his sights on you, he wouldn't have brought you to Huaishuo. Now Second Miss Xie is pregnant, but you haven't even decided on a marriage."
Before Ning Fu left the capital, she received news that Xie Ruyi was pregnant. Because of her relationship with the Fourth Prince, she asked someone to send her some medicine as a token of her thoughtfulness.
Nymph said, "Mother, the Sixth Prince is only doing this because my father has been promoted. If I marry him, my father will be dragged into this. I'll just hide from him. As long as we are safe and sound, what does it matter if I don't get married?"
Madam Ning finally came to her senses. In these troubled times, her husband's safety was naturally more important. She had been worried about Princess Kangyang for a long time and didn't want to be frightened any longer.
"From what Xingzhi said, I think he is willing to wait for you." Mrs. Ning recalled that he was busy running around a few days before the departure, just like her own son-in-law.
On the other hand, although Meng Ze had that intention, he only sent his servants to prepare some things because he was worried about being infected by Afu's "disease".
Nymph sighed in her heart.
Lu Xingzhi was kind to her, and she was touched. However, the fact that he was still detached from this world made her a little worried.
He seemed to care about nothing, not even himself.
Rather than him always thinking about herself, Nymph would rather see him live his own life.
But when she thought of Lu Xingzhi, she thought of more important things.
The folk expert he found for her is now missing.
…
That night, many relatives came to the old house.
Ning Fu naturally felt a bit of irony in her heart. In her previous life, she and her mother were healthy, but because her father was demoted, no one cared about them.
Even though she still had a "serious illness", these relatives still came eagerly. The gifts they brought were too expensive even for Ningfu, a girl who was used to living in the capital.
"Send someone to send it back. Since you have accepted the gift and owe them a favor, you will have to do things for them in the future." My father is in a high position now, and he has to be vigilant about everything and not let anyone get any handle on him.
Madam Ning also said, "Dongzhu, tell the steward to return the gifts to these people and tell them that Afu is sick now and it is inconvenient for them to meet, so they don't need to bother them again in the future."
She did not think the same as Ning Fu, but was afraid that meeting outsiders would arouse suspicion. If the news were to spread to the capital, it would be a disaster and no benefit, and her daughter would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Dongzhu agreed and went to do her work.
"You have always valued family affection the most. Why are you so cold today?" Madam Ning had no intention of blaming her. She was just a little curious.
"Mother, don't you want me to be more cautious around strangers?" Nymph said with a smile.
She couldn't like these distant relatives because in her previous life, they were indifferent and looked down on her mother, which was what bothered Ning Fu the most.
Once my mother was injured, and she went to beg for help from her distant cousins, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand. Instead, they avoided her. When people are in a low position, they can best experience the warmth and coldness of human nature.
This period of time in the previous life was the most painful time for Nymph, so painful that she was not even willing to recall it. At that time, she felt that there was no light in the sky.
It was only in this life that I figured it out. At that time, my father was demoted, and Prince Xuan's Palace also helped.
Madam Ning didn't say anything more.
Ning Fu stayed in Huaishuo for more than a month which passed quickly.
I also received a reply to the letter I wrote to Lu Xingzhi.
In the letter, Lu Xingzhi told her about the situation in the palace and the white parrot that Meng Ze gave her, which he was now raising. He also told her about the second wife of Prince Xuan's Mansion and the wife of the eldest son Zong Ting, who had all returned to the capital.
Ning Fu was not without emotion in her heart. The return of the female relatives such as Madam Zong Er and the wife of the eldest son to the capital also indicated the current danger in the north.
I don’t know how Zong Si is doing now.
At the end of the letter, Lu Xingzhi told her that he would come over at the end of the month.
Nymph couldn't help but pause.
And before that, she asked him to find an expert to help her rescue the person from her previous life, but she didn't mention it at all. I wonder if he had forgotten.
Nymph then thought of the man she had saved in her previous life. When she tried to take off his mask, he put a sword to her neck. He must have an extraordinary identity.
"I saved you, are you going to kill me?" Her eyes were wet, because of fear and because she had survived a disaster. "In order to save you, I was almost killed by him."
He did not withdraw his sword, and said, "Apply medicine to me."
"Then... I'll have to look at your body." Nymph bit her lip.
The man said calmly: "No problem."
"Of course it's fine for you, but it's not for me. If outsiders knew about it, I would never marry you. My mother would never agree to marry a desperado like you."
But his hand was stroking the sword.
This man was a skilled kung fu man, so Ning Fu had to be tactful and think that she had saved the wrong person.
Later she only took off his clothes. He was already covered with bruises, and she applied medicine on him without caring about the differences between men and women.
When she touched his chest, the warm touch made her cheeks blush.
The man looked at her quietly.
"I saved you, and you want to repay me with evil." Nymph's gaze unconsciously fell on his chest. She didn't know what the man's figure was like, but she thought he looked good at the moment.
But it was just a glance, and then he looked away tactfully.
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "I will thank you later."
Later he fainted. Nymph wanted to go back and find someone to save him, but when she brought people back, he was gone.
I don’t know if he survived after leaving.
…
Ningfu originally thought that it would not be her turn to save him in this life, but she could save him by arranging for someone.
But I didn't expect that I would end up in Huaishuo.
It seemed she couldn't avoid it.
Maybe some things are destined, no matter how many lives she lives, she cannot avoid the experience no matter how she tries to change her fate.
The person Lu Xingzhi found for her will arrive soon.
But when that day came, the man did not appear in the forest.
