Chapter 72 Who is the Husband
Ning Fu looked at Princess Xuan, bowed, and pretended to be shy to distance herself from him, saying, "Princess and Madam, please don't make fun of me."
She was not ready to tell others about what happened in Yongzhou. If she really wanted to get engaged, she would have to talk openly and honestly. Therefore, for the moment, she had no plans to get married.
Princess Xuan thought the lady was thin-skinned and said with a half-smile, "It seems I misunderstood."
But he is a person who has always been cold and elegant, and even when he smiles, he gives people an inhuman feeling, making it difficult for people to approach him.
Madam Lu also knew that Princess Xuan was kind to her for Xingzhi's sake, and Xingzhi's future was closely related to the Xuan Palace, so she also treated her with great care.
"The fourth young lady looks bright and pretty today even though she looks so simple and plain." Princess Xuan was also praising her for her good looks, but it was a pity that she was Kang Yang's granddaughter.
Ning Fu then bowed again, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
Princess Xuan didn't like her and had nothing to say to her, so she just chatted with Madam Lu.
Nymph sat quietly.
"Why didn't the Crown Prince come with the Second Young Master today?" Mrs. Lu asked.
"Sanlang and Sixth Miss Mu went boating on the lake." Princess Xuan said.
Mrs. Lu smiled knowingly. While reminiscing about the past with the princess, she also took Nyingfu into consideration, fearing that she would be neglected.
When Zong Duo came out of Lu Xingzhi's study, he was stunned when he saw Ning Fu. He didn't expect to meet her in Lu Mansion.
But thinking of Lu Xingzhi again, he was not surprised that Ning Fu appeared in the Lu Mansion. It was only a matter of time before the two of them met, so he greeted her politely, "Fourth Miss."
"Second Young Master." Nymph replied politely.
Zongduo saw Lu Xingzhi looking at him not far away.
He recalled his actions just now and felt that he was very sensible. Xingzhi shouldn't be jealous!
He nodded to Nymph and left with Princess Xuan.
When Ning Fu was helping Madam Lu plant the flowers, Lu Xingzhi came over and naturally took over the work in her hands, saying, "Fourth Miss, sit aside and play."
Mrs. Lu smiled and stepped out, leaving them alone.
He worked but left her to play aside. Thinking carefully, it seemed like he was favoring her. Ning Fu said tactfully, "Mr. Lu, you don't have to care about me like this."
Lu Xingzhi straightened up and looked at her, saying calmly, "Don't worry, Fourth Miss. I know that Fourth Miss has no plans to get married right now. Rather than marrying Fourth Miss, I hope that Fourth Miss will be safe and sound."
Ning Fu felt a sense of pain in her heart for no reason. How could anyone be nice to others for no reason? She couldn't help but ask, "What do you want from me?"
"I once liked a girl, and I thought she was somewhat similar to the fourth girl. The first time I saw the fourth girl, I thought of her." After Lu Xingzhi finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, as if he was lost in memories.
It turns out that love extends to everyone. Ninfu thought of the woman she talked about when she first met Mrs. Lu, and couldn't help asking, "But your childhood sweetheart?"
Lu Xingzhi's eyes flickered, but he did not refute.
"Where is she now?" Nymph asked again.
Lu Xingzhi didn't speak at first, his eyes seemed to be filled with emotions, and after a while he said with difficulty: "She is dead."
If Nymph was not familiar with him in the previous life, she would have suspected that he was also reborn. The person he was talking about was himself in the previous life, but since he was not familiar with him, he would not have such strong emotions because of himself.
For a moment, Nymph only felt regret that this woman died so early.
Lu Xingzhi said: "Every day when I see that the fourth girl is well, I feel that she is still alive. For me, this is enough."
Ningfu's emotions towards him were somewhat complicated. Although she wanted to keep her distance, she also had some good feelings for him. Now that she knew why he was so nice to her, on the one hand, she admired his loyalty and loyalty, but on the other hand, she also felt a little lost.
Since leaving the Lu Mansion, Ning Fu still feels a little depressed. She doesn't know if anyone will remember her like this after her death, except her mother and father. In Prince Xuan's Mansion, Princess Xuan may be sad for a while, but after Zong Si marries a new wife, he will gradually forget her.
When the new bride gives birth to a child, the palace will only become more lively. In order to show sympathy to the new bride, her traces in the palace will be erased as much as possible to prevent the newlyweds from harboring any resentment.
But after seeing her brother, Nymph put all that behind her.
Ning Yu and Ning Zheng were sitting face to face.
"Eldest brother, third brother." Ning Fu walked to the two of them and only then saw Ning Yu's face full of sorrow and depression.
"My eldest brother and his sister-in-law have had an argument. Go and help persuade his sister-in-law." Ning Zheng said with a headache. He didn't understand all this. His eldest brother wanted to complain to him, but he couldn't think of a solution.
"What happened?" Ning Fu actually had some idea in her mind. It was probably related to her aunt.
"Zi Yi forced me to take a concubine." Ning Yu said disappointedly, "My mother would make a fuss about my father's concubine, and my aunt also had a rift with my second uncle because of his concubine. I don't know why a wife would repeatedly persuade me to take a concubine. Maybe I'm too useless and she doesn't have me in her heart."
"If Sister Wei didn't have you in her heart, she wouldn't have married Big Brother." Ning Fu said, "She forced you to take a concubine, I'm afraid it was Big Aunt's intention."
"Even if her mother forced her, wouldn't she refuse?" Ning Yu said with some disappointment.
Ning Fu couldn't help but frowned and said, "Sister Wei is kind and easy to please. She is also married to our Duke's Mansion. Big brother doesn't know how difficult it is to be a daughter-in-law. If Big Auntie tries to pressure her, what can he do? Even if Big Auntie comes to force Big Brother, can Big Brother guarantee that he can keep refusing?"
Ning Yu was worried about his wife, so he said, "Afu, go check on her for me."
Ning Fu went to Wei Ziyi and saw her sitting in front of the window motionless with red eyes, obviously she had been crying.
"Afu." As soon as she saw her, Wei Ziyi couldn't help but shed tears.
"Sister Wei, you have been wronged." Ning Fu could empathize with her suffering.
"How is your elder brother?" Wei Ziyi cried for a while and wiped away her tears.
"You are the one who has been wronged, yet you still care about him now." Nymph said.
Wei Ziyi shook her head and said, "Your elder brother didn't say a word to me. He just said disappointedly that if I didn't like him, he would not bother me again in the future. But it's not that I don't like him. I'm afraid that I won't be able to have children and become a sinner in the Duke's Mansion."
Who would be willing to push her husband away? She herself would feel heartbroken.
Wei Ziyi told her the whole story. In the past, Wei would only give her some earnest advice, but this time he directly found two beautiful women and asked her to bring them back to the courtyard, and he was not as polite as before.
"You have been married for only one year, and your aunt has already pushed you several times. She is too impatient." Ning Fu spoke up for her. Even if it was Prince Xuan's Mansion, they would not openly mention the matter of taking a concubine in front of her. Even if Princess Xuan wanted to complain about her inability to get pregnant, they would only say a few words to others behind her back.
Wei Ziyi said, "A few days ago, my mother-in-law found the most famous doctor in Langya and told me that it was difficult for me to get pregnant and that even if I tried to regulate my fertility, it might not be effective. That's why she was anxious."
"No matter how anxious she is, what's wrong with waiting for two years? Could it be that my brother is infertile?" Nymph said, and if it was just for the sake of offspring, why bother talking about feelings.
Wei Ziyi lowered her head and said, "So what should I do? If I can't have children, it's only a matter of time before your elder brother takes a concubine. It's better to let him take one sooner so that I don't have to suffer every day."
Ning Fu thought of Mur Ruoheng. Maybe if she took Sister Wei to see him, he might be able to find a solution.
I just don't know if he is willing to help.
On the second day, Ning Fu took Wei Ziyi out of the house under the pretext of relaxing. It was inconvenient for her to deliver the letter herself, so this time she asked Fu Jiahui for help and asked her to deliver the letter to a man named Song Bo in Linglongtai.
Fu Jiahui put the letter away and asked, "How is the Ningguo Mansion doing recently?"
She was actually asking about her brother. Ning Fu thought for a moment and said, "Everything is fine at home. It's just that my brother has been back to Beijing for a while. In addition to working in the palace, he has been to many restaurants."
Fu Jiahui handed her two receipts and said, "Since Mr. Ning loves to satisfy his appetite, let him come to my newly opened Jingshan Restaurant to try some, so that he can promote it for me."
In fact, seeing him is the real thing. Fu Jiahui doesn't know how far Ning Zheng wants to escape. However, even if he escapes, it will be of no use. She will have to use some means to get him.
Nymph smiled sweetly at her: "My brother will definitely come." Even if she had to coax her brother to come, she would coax him to come.
The two of them understood each other tacitly. Fu Jiahui felt relieved when she saw that Ning Fu did not reject her. It was not easy for a merchant's daughter to marry into an official family, and it was a big taboo since she was in charge of the family business.
The three of them sat at the bow of the boat and drank tea. The gentle breeze made people feel calm.
"Prince, is that Miss Fu?" Mu Liu had met Fu Jiahui a few days ago. Her business is everywhere in the capital. It was she who arranged the boat for us when we went boating on the lake yesterday.
Ning Fu couldn't help but look over and saw Zong Si and Mu Liu standing on the bridge a few steps away.
The three people on the boat all stood up and saluted.
Zong Si glanced at the wooden hairpin on Ning Fu's head, then looked away, responded to them coldly, and went somewhere else with Mu Liu.
"Princess Xuan has a good eye." Wei Ziyi praised, "The prince is always polite on weekdays. This is the first time I see the prince bringing a lady out to play."
Fu Jiahui couldn't help but look at Ning Fu.
At the moment, she didn't know what the prince was planning. When she saw the wooden hairpin on Ning Fu's head, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ning, this wooden hairpin is quite unique. Where did you buy it from?"
"It was given by Master Lu." Nymph said frankly.
Fu Jiahui paused, thinking of the returned white magnolia hairpin, and seemed to have got some clues, with a complicated expression for a moment.
If it were her, she would probably be puzzled as to where she lost the priceless white jade hairpin.
Mu Liu glanced at Zong Si beside him and felt that he was a little distracted, so he asked, "What are you thinking about, my lord?"
Zong Si said nothing.
"You will be my husband in the future, shouldn't you tell me what's on your mind?" Mu Liu asked.
Zong Si said indifferently, "I told Sixth Miss before that bringing you out to play is the hospitality of a good host."
"Princess Xuan likes me, and I am very satisfied with you. There will be no problem with our marriage." Mu Liudao. She was a little afraid of him at first, but after meeting him a few times, she felt that no one disliked her since she was a child. After spending more time with Zong Si, he would definitely not be an exception.
It’s just that Zong Si is not in the mood to talk about marriage right now.
"I have something else to do. Aning will come to accompany Sixth Miss later." After she was so inappropriate, Zong Si naturally had to withdraw.
"But I want you to accompany me." Mu Liu said.
Zong Si did not delay any longer. After Zong Ning arrived, he got up and left.
When he climbed onto the horse, he happened to see Ning Fu and Wei Ziyi getting on the carriage. She clearly saw him, but still pretended not to see him.
Zong Si paused and returned to the palace.
The war in the north was drawing to a close, and Zongduo had to go to the north. After the two of them finished talking about business, Zongduo suddenly said, "I ran into Miss Ning the other day at Lu's mansion."
It was a simple sentence, but it contained a myriad of emotions. Only Zongduo himself understood the feeling. "I wonder if her relationship with Xingzhi will be settled soon."
If Lu Xingzhi hadn't taken the lead, he wouldn't have given up so easily on the matter of Nymph!
But now, this matter has passed, and he just expressed a few feelings!
Zong Si seemed not to hear it.
Zongduo didn't say anything else.
The supplies from the north have not arrived yet, and Zong Si hasn't had a good rest for several days. He only had time to take a nap today.
In the dream, Nymph was reading in his bedroom. When she saw him wake up, she smiled and called out, "My dear, wake up. You slept for a long time today. You must be too tired after traveling back from the north."
He stood up and hugged her, leaning on his chest. Zong Si hugged her tightly and whispered, "I am your husband, right? Lu Xingzhi is not."
"Lu Xingzhi is not the one, you are. My dear, please ignore him." Ning Fu said with a smile, her eyes sparkling.
"You don't know. He told me that he is your husband. And you are always more partial to him." Zong Si lowered his eyes and said.
"How could that be?" Nymph held his face and said, "If I am to be partial, it's you."
…
After Zong Si woke up, he kept his eyes open for a long time without moving.
When they went to the front yard, Princess Xuan said, "It seems that the fourth Miss Ning is going to marry the Lu family. Xingzhi will do things for you. In the future, should we be more polite to the Ningguo Mansion?"
Zong Si paused for a moment and said, "Has it been confirmed?"
"Looking at the attitudes of the Lu Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion, they can't be wrong." Princess Xuan said, "Now that Ning Si is with Lu Xingzhi, it's not bad. I don't have to worry about her always thinking about you."
Zong Si said calmly, "Mother, there is no need to be so hostile to her."
Before Princess Xuan could say anything, she saw him get up and leave. He seemed to be in a very bad mood and she was stunned.
Ning Fu received a reply from Doctor Mu a few days later.
Mu Ruoheng asked her to take Wei Ziyi to Linglongtai.
"Sister Wei, you must keep this a secret. You are not allowed to tell anyone where we went." Ning Fu warned in the carriage to Linglongtai.
This time, the excuse she made was that she took Sister Wei to Qingtian Pavilion, and Sister Fu would cover for them.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep the secret." Wei Ziyi was very grateful to her because she knew that she did this for her, so how could she hold her back?
It was Wei Ziyi’s first time in such a place, and she blushed when she saw the half-naked man.
Nymph, dressed in men's clothing, looked very comfortable.
"Young Master, you haven't come for a long time, but Murong has been waiting for you." said the woman who led the way.
"Then bring him to see me." Nymph gently fanned herself with a folding fan, looking calm and composed.
"Sir, please follow me." said the woman.
Murong was playing the piano. When he heard the footsteps, he glanced over coldly, then lowered his head and continued playing the piano. His noble temperament made people think he was a rich young man who had been living away from home.
"Long time no see." Nymph said.
Murong said nothing.
"It's been a bit busy lately."
Murong said calmly: "You were blinded by others."
"I still remember you." Nymph said charmingly.
Murong lowered his eyelids and said: "You didn't, you are thinking about others."
As if she was the unfaithful person.
