Chapter 194 He Looks Like a Son-in-law
When old friends meet, some have let go of the ambiguity they once had, but some feel their hearts trembling at the mere sight of each other.
Lu Xingzhi had never thought about what Nymph's children would look like. In the previous life, he and she were unable to have children, and he thought that he would not be able to see one in this life.
He seemed to be somewhat absent-minded, his eyes fixed on the nymph, and he did not look away for a long time, even losing his manners.
Madam Lin seemed to sense something was wrong and felt offended by Lu Xingzhi's gaze. She stood up, stood in front of Nymph, and introduced with a smile: "Sir Lu, this is the wife of the prince."
Ning Fu said: "I am familiar with Lord Lu."
Lu Xingzhi came back to his senses, hiding his shock, and clasped his fists and said, "Crown Princess."
Shuiying discovered one thing, that is, Lord Lu was actually unwilling to bow down to others in front of others. Even when he took her to meet the princes, his attitude was almost equal.
But when he bowed to the Crown Princess, he seemed willing to do so.
Shuiying has always known that Lord Lu likes Fourth Miss Ning. Even when she wakes up from a dream, she sometimes calls her Afu.
Lord Lu is an extremely cold-hearted man at heart. Normally, he is almost selfless. But if he wakes up by calling Fourth Miss Ning's name, he will suffer from insomnia all night long.
When the candlelight flickers, it represents the longing for the whole night.
Recently, upon learning that Fourth Miss Ning had come to the interior, Lord Lu also found an excuse to come.
Shuiying knew that he was worried that Fourth Miss Ning was not safe inside the pass.
"How are you these days, Lord Lu?" Ning Fu asked him with a smile.
"It's okay." He said in a gentle voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing her. His peripheral vision lingered on her belly for a moment, and then his whole demeanor softened.
Ning Fu asked curiously: "Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
"I am on duty in He County now, and sometimes I am responsible for the transportation of supplies for the ladies. The situation outside the Great Wall has been uneasy recently, so I came to take a look when I was transporting grain." Lu Xingzhi looked at her patiently.
Ning Fu nodded. In fact, she also had something to ask, but when she saw Shuiying beside her, she was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she didn't say much.
Shuiying is a lover of beautiful women. She stared at Ningfu for a long time. Lu Xingzhi glanced at her indifferently.
"The Crown Prince's Concubine seems to have become a little rounder." Shuiying said embarrassedly.
Ning Fu didn't want to mention her pregnancy, so she just smiled. Lu Xingzhi said, "I have to visit other people's houses, so I'll leave now."
Shuiying followed Lu Xingzhi to the residences of other ladies. He was much more patient with the families of soldiers than with important officials in the palace. Perhaps it was because he had been a general in his previous life.
She always felt that Lord Lu seemed to be in a good mood today. What good news could make him so calm and happy?
After Lord Lu finished his work, he drank for the first time in recent days. Shuiying watched from the side and saw him pick up the pen to write the two words "Zong Jin", then picked it up to look at it carefully.
The majestic handwriting, coupled with these two words, is majestic and magnificent.
"Who is this?" Shuiying asked curiously. His surname is Zong, so he must be from Prince Xuan's Palace.
"The future master of the palace." Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and for a moment he lost his composure and started chatting with her.
He seemed to have some pity for the boy named "Zong Jin", but it was not ordinary pity, but more like the tolerant love he had for his own child.
Shuiying couldn't help but wonder.
On the second day, Lord Lu took her to visit the Crown Prince's Consort.
This place is not as good as the capital. The courtyard can be seen at a glance. Shuiying saw the Crown Prince's wife sitting on the swing. The swing swayed, and Lord Lu frowned.
Lu Xingzhi glanced at the rope of the swing and said, "The swing is not stable."
Dongzhu was startled and quickly stopped the swing. Ningfu also looked up at the rope, still with lingering fear, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for reminding me."
This small yard can be seen at a glance, and the swing can be used to pass the time. Lu Xingzhi asked Dongzhu to get a new rope and knife, intending to replace them for her.
"There's no need to trouble Mr. Lu, Qu Yang is here." Ning Fu said.
"I'll do it." Lu Xingzhi said as he lowered his head to work.
Dongzhu, however, heard a hint of finality in his words and felt complicated for a moment. Lord Lu was so outgoing and familiar, just like her own son-in-law.
And this was not the first time that Dongzhu had felt this. A long time ago, when he asked her to take good care of his girl, his familiar attitude was similar to this time.
At this time, Ningfu felt it was not appropriate to stop him, so she just let him help her.
Thinking of his brother again, he hesitated, raised his head to look at her, turned his head to Dongzhu and said: "My wife is a little thirsty, please take her to have some tea, Miss Dongzhu."
Shuiying stared at the beautiful Dongzhu and left happily.
Ning Fu thought for a moment and said, "Lord Lu, you know something about my brother."
Lu Xingzhi nodded slightly.
"In my last life, my brother wrote me a letter, but I didn't receive it in this life." Ning Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I think this life may be different from the last life. I don't know the truth in the last life, but in this life, it is probably because the emperor can't bear to see my brother's Duke's Mansion becoming stronger and stronger and joining forces with the Prince's Mansion. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on Meng Ze's future."
Lu Xingzhi was silent for a moment, and said: "Perhaps it was the Fourth Miss's behavior in this life that changed some people's mentality."
Ning Fu was slightly stunned by this sentence.
"Just like the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince in the previous life did not lend a helping hand in Lord Ning's matter, and the Crown Prince in this life will not allow this to happen again." Lu Xingzhi said, "Perhaps the Crown Prince is not the only one whose mentality has changed."
Ning Fu realized something because of his words. If anyone's mentality changed, it must be the person who had received her favor.
"Now, Princess, you only need to think about yourself and the baby in your belly. Lord Ning will be fine." Lu Xingzhi whispered to comfort her.
Nymph paused, not expecting that he had guessed it, and smiled at him: "Thank you, Lord Lu."
It was only later that Ning Fu realized what he meant when he said, "Lord Ning will be fine." In fact, in life, there are many things that we have been reminded of, but we have not thought about them too much because we have not experienced them.
"Have you been feeling unwell recently?" Lu Xingzhi said.
Ning Fu didn't know why she knew it clearly. He was asking if the child was making trouble. The child was still young and didn't bother her. "Everything is fine."
Lu Xingzhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly whispered: "When the Crown Prince's wife's child is born... can you recognize me as your godfather?"
He seemed to beg her.
Hopeful and pious, she seems to be looking forward to the arrival of the child.
Ning Fu felt inexplicably sad, but this was not a decision she could make alone. Before she could open her mouth, Shuiying came back.
This topic was not continued.
Before going back, Lu Xingzhi gave her many instructions, fearing that she could not take care of herself.
Nymph had to keep her distance.
Lu Xingzhi paused, and then said nothing more.
A few days later, Ning Fu heard the news that Ning Yu had also come outside the Great Wall. In her previous life, she didn't know about this.
After asking around, I found out that he had been here for a while, but he had been keeping a low profile and hadn't announced anything.
Ning Fu thought of what Lu Xingzhi said, maybe in this life, the person who changed was not the prince. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly wrote a letter to Zong Si.
During the investigation, they found poison among Ning Yu's personal belongings.
It is not fatal, but it can make people lose their minds. After being poisoned, it is difficult to obtain evidence. This poison can only be cured by the genius doctor Mu Ruohengmu.
How could Ning Yu's purpose of coming here be simple? In his previous life, he was decadent while his brother was thriving. His brother felt that he was not working hard for the Duke's Mansion and had quarreled with him several times.
Under that situation, how could one not be jealous? Jealousy breeds evil. What's more, there are endless benefits. The glory of the elder brother will be inherited by the first wife.
It's no coincidence.
But Ning Fu thought about her aunt and uncle, so after confirming that her aunt didn't have such thoughts, she relaxed a little. However, she never thought that it might be her eldest brother who was a little mediocre but gentle.
Ningfu remembered that in the previous life, her brother told her about the dispute between him and his eldest brother. She thought it was just a simple quarrel and did not think about it too deeply.
Ning Fu said calmly to Qu Yang: "Take me to the military camp."
