Chapter 159 Knowing My Past Too Well
When Zong Si said this, his tone was dull, but his impatience was not concealed at all.
Zhang He's heart was broken.
"I went to the Northland for my brother, the Crown Prince."
"Did your going to the North bring me any convenience?" Zong Si said bluntly, "Did you save me, or did you bring me an opportunity?"
None of them.
Her passion and sacrifice of her own studies not only affected herself, but also did not bring him any benefit.
In Zong Si's opinion, there is nothing good about such impulsiveness and disregard for Hua'an Mansion's temperament.
Although Afu was impulsive sometimes, she had a clear purpose, which was to save Kang Yang. She impulsively pretended to marry Jin Wang's grandson Meng Shen, but she also made it clear in advance that Jin Wang had the ability to save Kang Yang.
Although he refused to admit it at the time, he was actually somewhat worried that she would marry Meng Shen, and he was a little confused at that time.
As for her killing of Sun Zheng, as a queen in a high position in the palace, she must have never killed anyone before. She was afraid but still planned her moves calmly. It can be seen that although she was impulsive, she was not a headless fly.
Later at night, he was half dead and Sun Zheng's body was also in the temple. It was very likely that she would appear with the two corpses at any time. She was terrified, but she still kept guarding herself.
This is the favor that he will never forget in his life.
Even though this world is full of dangers and everyone is scheming against each other, as long as he thinks of that night, this world is beautiful, worth his life and worth his nostalgia.
Zhang He was speechless.
She felt that she had done the bravest thing in her life, but the prince didn't care at all.
She bit her lip: "How did you become so cruel?"
"I have always been like this towards outsiders." This is also for her own good. If she is friendly, she will think she has a chance.
Zong Si glanced at Ning Fu and walked away.
Ningfu sighed in her heart. It was obvious that he wanted her to follow him.
The meeting with Zhang He today was probably because he had expected that I would pass by here, so he did this deliberately to express his stance to me.
She looked at Madam Zhang and Princess Xuan who were not far away. Both of them were a little worried, but they had not stepped forward to disturb her. Madam Zhang probably wanted her daughter to give up, but she couldn't persuade her, so she watched this scene with pain.
Now that Zong Si had left, Mrs. Zhang quickly walked forward and hugged Zhang He.
"Mother, since he can choose someone else to marry, why can't it be me?" Zhang He said with tears in her eyes.
"There's no need to worry about why he doesn't like you. You're just embarrassing Hua'an Mansion by pestering him like this." Madam Zhang said, "When the princess came to the mansion, she also expressed her feelings in a tactful way in front of you a few times. It's not that you don't understand, you're just pretending not to understand. Ah He, you're my daughter, so have some backbone."
Zhang He cried silently in her arms.
"The prince is not wrong. When you go to the North, you are the only one who thinks you are great, but in the eyes of others, you have to take care of a female monarch. You give out porridge in the North, and the prince admires you, but you do good deeds for him. You give out porridge to the people, and you and Hua'an Prefecture have a good reputation."
Mrs. Zhang didn't want to say anything too harsh. If someone pestered her son like this, she would look down on that woman.
In fact, there were many people in Beijing who gossiped about her behind her back, and her husband blamed her countless times in front of her for not teaching their daughter well.
Mrs. Zhang also agreed with what her husband said. She had spoiled Ah He since she was a child and had been too accommodating to her, which made her develop a self-centered character.
Although Princess Xuan said that Ah He was still young, if her daughter Ah Ning was so shameless and humble, she would definitely be punished by the family rules.
It's not that she looks down on Ah He, but as a lady, she must not lower herself to a lower level when she is out there, otherwise no one will cherish her.
"Other people's affairs are not so interesting." Ning Fu turned around and saw Zong Si appeared beside her without her knowing when.
"I just feel that Madam Zhang has a hard time." Ning Fu said.
"To put it bluntly, Zhang He's personality is self-centered. He doesn't care about your family..." Zong Si pondered for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything wrong about Ning Ran.
Ning Fu understood what he meant and said, “Although Sister Ran is also self-centered, she is a person with self-respect, and she will never do anything to bring shame to the Duke’s Mansion.”
Zong Si looked at her and said: "Are you satisfied with my attitude?"
"The prince's attitude is not for outsiders to see. He must know in his heart that he should keep a distance from irrelevant women." No matter who you marry, you should take good care of your wife. Loving your wife from the bottom of your heart is the most important thing.
But she was not completely unmoved by his attitude.
"I'm not doing this for you to see. I originally thought that if I stayed away from her, she would give up. But I didn't expect that I had to make it so clear. I have to be ruthless to her and not leave any illusions for her." Zong Si said.
"If a man stands upright, a woman will not be afraid of outsiders," said the Nymph.
Zong Si also knew that she seldom argued with the lady, and that Nymph's temperament was actually very good.
He was very close to her, the wind blowing on her face, her hair entangled on his arms, her neck was slender and very white, the dark green jade pendant on her earlobe swayed gently, and the faint scent of pear blossoms in her hair made him feel itchy.
Zong Si's eyes deepened and his Adam's apple rolled.
Seeing this, Nymph punched him hard on the arm and glared at him, "Don't even think about it."
Zong Si couldn't help but smile. At this moment, she was very experienced in guessing people's minds.
I think in her previous life, she knew herself very well when it came to sex.
"I want to marry you," he said.
Once you get married, you can think about it.
Of course, it's not just this matter. After getting married, he doesn't have to be on guard against this and that all the time.
Ning Fu naturally knew what he meant by saying this, and said: "If the prince is just full of improper thoughts, it is better to find someone else."
"I am not just lustful, and I will not look for others. Now I can't accommodate anyone else around me." Zong Si said, "My father and my mother only have concubines. The palace does not encourage taking concubines."
Princess Xuan did not force Zong Si to find a concubine. Firstly, it was Zong Si's own opinion, and secondly, it was not a popular thing in the palace.
"After getting married, returning to the palace every day will give you something to look forward to." Zong Si looked at her.
Ning Fu paused slightly. In her previous life, he seldom returned home. She never expected that he would have such thoughts in this life.
"It would be great if the prince was like this in his previous life." Ning Fu's mood was not calm, but she was now alert. How could she trust him without any reservations?
That's why Nymph felt this way.
"I also know that I was not a good husband in my previous life, otherwise you wouldn't have kept avoiding me. I'm just glad that I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to make up for it in this life." Zong Si said seriously, "I will wait until the day you believe in me."
“That day may not come.”
"Then just don't get married for the rest of your life." He said indifferently, "It's enough for me to stay with you." But he was not as magnanimous as Lu Xingzhi, and he could never bring himself to say let Ning Fu get married.
Ning Fu thought that if Princess Xuan heard this, she would probably be so frightened that she fainted.
"I didn't force anything on you, Prince."
"I volunteered."
After Zong Si finished speaking, he raised his head and looked in the direction where Lu Xingzhi was standing.
…
Not far away, Lu Xingzhi turned and left.
He knew Zong Si too well, and he could tell whether he was sincere just by listening.
Right now, Zong Si is very sincere and is deeply moved.
There was nothing more for him to worry about.
But it’s not easy for me to get close to Afu anymore.
His Afu.
No one knew that she was his Afu.
On the day of their wedding, he personally carried his wife into Prince Xuan's palace.
Lu Xingzhi returned to the table. He never liked to form cliques, so he just lowered his head and drank the wine in his glass.
Meng Yuan's leg disease recurred, and Yaoyao was massaging his legs. When he looked up, he saw Master Lu, who seemed bitter, but also somewhat happy from the bottom of his heart.
Yaoyao looked for quite a long time.
Meng Yuan looked down at her, then looked at Lu Xingzhi and said, "What are you looking at?"
Yaoyao was lost in thought and did not respond.
Meng Yuan's tone remained unchanged: "It looks very beautiful."
Yaoyao still didn't respond, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, as if someone was jealous.
"Yes, she is good-looking, with a well-proportioned figure, tall and straight." Yaoyao said deliberately.
Meng Yuan just smiled, knowing her character, and said nothing more.
"You know me very well." Yaoyao said with a bit of lack of interest, "If one day I really can't remember you, I wonder if I can see you lose control."
Meng Yuan touched her hand soothingly.
"Third Prince, what do you think I look like?"
"Puppy." Meng Yuan thought for a moment and said, those wet eyes always make people want to protect them.
Yaoyao complained in her heart that there was nothing new to say, but when she saw Meng Ze coming over from the corner of her eye, she said nothing more.
Meng Ze stayed on Yaoyao for a while longer. Although her face was ordinary, she had a good figure.
Meng Ze looked at Meng Yuan meaningfully, and he said that there is no man who doesn't like women, Meng Yuan was just feeling inferior before.
"I didn't expect that even you would come to the Duke's Mansion." Normally, Meng Yuan never went out of the main door or the second door.
"The fourth lady sent me an invitation." Meng Yuan said without much enthusiasm.
Meng Ze then remembered that Meng Yuan and Ning Fu could be considered chess friends. Although he had a strange personality, he loved chess very much, so it was normal for him to give Ning Fu some face.
Just thinking of Ning Fu, Meng Ze felt a nameless anger in his heart. It was okay for her to be engaged to Lu Xingzhi, after all, the marriage was granted by Emperor Jingwen himself, but when she brought the cakes just now, she didn't even look at him.
Going to his house before, now it seems like playing with him.
When had Meng Ze ever been humiliated like this by a woman?
But the more humiliated he was, the more he missed her. He didn't want to take revenge on Ning Fu, he just wanted to make her his own, make her apologize to him in a coquettish manner, and make her never look at Lu Xingzhi again.
Meng Ze suppressed the crazy thoughts in his mind, glanced at Lu Xingzhi, but an uncontrollable sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This smile just happened to fall into the eyes of Zong Si who had just returned.
"Third brother, Madam Zhang brought Sister Zhang back home. Sister Zhang seemed to be crying very sadly. Mother said that Sister Zhang fell down." Zong Ning came up to inquire about the news.
"She fell." Zong Si said calmly.
Zong Ning said: "You haven't appeared for so long, where have you been?"
Zong Si glanced at her and said nothing.
He must have gone to see Sister Ning. He was in such a good mood at the moment, obviously because Sister Ning was treating him well.
Zong Ning also wanted to go play with Sister Ning, but Sister Ning was not that close to her now, and Ah He was always with Sister Ning.
"Mother, I want to go find Sister Ning." Zong Ning said to Princess Xuan.
After hearing this, Wei smiled and said, "Ziyi, take Aning to find Afu."
Nymph was naturally very welcoming when she saw her.
Zong Ning liked Ning Fu's Bamboo Garden very much, and also thought it was great to have a younger sister. The two of them lived in the same yard and could chat until very late at night.
"Ahe, do you often come back to your room very late?" Zong Ning ate nuts with them.
Ning Fu couldn't help laughing and said, "Ah He almost stayed here with me. If we chatted a little later, she would refuse to leave."
Ning He smiled and said, "Fourth sister always scares me sometimes, but I am not afraid when I am with her."
She said, "My fourth sister always tells me a story about past lives and present lives. I always listen to it with great interest. In the story, there is a very bad prince who treats his wife badly. Later, the wife is reborn. It's very interesting."
Nymph touched her nose.
Zong Ning said enviously: "It's great, someone sleeps with you and tells you stories."
Ning Fu thought for a moment and said, "The prince may not have come out of the shadows recently. If he is indifferent, Sister Ning can say more good things to him."
Zong Ning was stunned. When did the third brother become unable to come out?
Then he realized that he was pretending to be pitiful, and said: "Yes, yes, he is in Jinghua Residence all day long in the palace, and I feel depressed when I see him. Sister Ning, Third Brother is so pitiful, you should be more tolerant of him for the time being."
…
The birthday party was over, and Zong Si and Lu Xingzhi left the Duke's Mansion a little later.
One is the future son-in-law, and the other was invited by Ning Yu, so naturally no one thought much about it.
The two walked side by side.
"Be careful of Meng Ze." Zong Si said.
Lu Xingzhi didn't care about his own safety and said, "Prince and Miss Zhang, let's make it clear."
Zong Si said calmly: "In my previous life, I had a very close relationship with her."
Lu Xingzhi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Prince, you have never liked her."
He was so cold to his savior Ning Fu when she was alive, so how could he fall in love with Zhang He?
However, Zhang He's future man is of low status, but he is working hard for her. She asks him to protect her temporarily, and when he becomes successful, he will go to Hua'an Mansion to ask for her hand in marriage.
As for those rumors, he naturally would not go out of his way to explain them.
The Zhang family never mentioned Zhang He's marriage.
On the day of Ningfu's funeral, she followed the team back to Beijing. He had no time to take care of her and was only concerned with taking one last look at Afu, but he did not expect that she would go back to the palace with him.
Maybe she really didn't mean it, or maybe she had given up on me before and was really willing to live with that man, but after seeing Afu leave, she began to have some thoughts about me again.
No matter what the reason was, Lu Xingzhi was unwilling to get close to her in this life.
"You know a lot about me." Zong Si suddenly said this.
Lu Xingzhi paused, then raised his eyes to meet his cold and sharp gaze.
Zong Si said: "So much so that you understand my feelings so well."
