Chapter 33 Changes
The person who wrote the letter was not Xie Ruyi. It is true that Zong Si did leave the letter from Ning Fu, but he returned to Beijing early, which had nothing to do with this letter, but Zong Si did not explain.
Zongduo had heard a little about it, and now he was also looking forward to having a woman who would think of him all the time.
On the other hand, my eldest brother already has a wife and children, so he doesn’t feel lonely even though he stays in the north all year round!
"Third brother is truly a blessed man." Zongduo couldn't help but sigh.
Zong Si said nothing.
"I hope I can be like that." Zongduo said enviously.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Nymph, who was chatting and laughing with the lady next to her.
After just one look, Zongduo felt a little shy. He never understood why a man would be as shy as a woman when facing the woman he liked.
Now he understood!
Zong Si then glanced at him with an indifferent expression.
Later, the two entered the palace together.
"A Ning said that my appearance would be the type that the fourth lady would like. If she likes my looks, then everything else won't be a problem."
Zongduo said this with a little more embarrassment and a bit embarrassed.
Moreover, outsiders say that his family background and character are far better than his appearance, so other aspects are not a problem at all!
Zong Duo was also handsome, but with his younger brother Zong Si in front and his cousin Meng Ze behind, sandwiched between these two pearls, naturally fewer people praised his appearance.
Therefore, Zongduo never thought that he was handsome.
He also didn't expect that Fourth Miss Ning would tell her sister that she was brave and powerful!
Zongduo was very excited to be praised like this.
"The fourth young lady has a good personality. I'm sure she will get along well with the second young lady Xie in the future." Zong Duo couldn't help but imagine the daily life of the two sisters-in-law.
However, even if they don't get along well, Zongduo will protect his wife.
Zong Si said calmly: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about when the fate has not even been decided yet?"
"Will there be any accidents in your marriage with Miss Xie?" Zong Duo didn't think so.
Zong Si did not reply to him, as he felt that Zong Duo was too stubborn and naive emotionally.
He was not talking about his own marriage.
But it is not certain that Zongduo and Ningfu will be together. If what happened in the previous life was true, Ningfu would definitely not marry her eldest uncle.
Zongduo was eager to learn and said, "I am not good at pleasing the lady, I will have to ask you for advice in the future."
You must definitely learn how to make your wife happy.
In fact, there were no women around Zong Si. He had always been law-abiding, but most women could be fascinated by him. Even the big and small Hu girls in Meng Ze's mansion could not be bribed even with money, but they were willing to follow Zong Si to Meng Ze's mansion.
"I don't have a queen by my side, so I can't teach you anything." Zong Si looked indifferent.
The unhappiness in his tone was actually very obvious.
However, in the past, Zong Si would never have reacted like this, but this time he was sure of something, that Miss Ning Si might have been his woman in her previous life, which was why she behaved like this.
Zong Duo naturally heard the coldness in his words, and couldn't help but frowned, and his voice was also a little unhappy: "Why do you have such a big reaction? I know you have a prejudice against her, but there is no need to be so hostile to a little lady. If you get to know her more, you will know how good she is."
In Zongduo's opinion, what's the difference between this and bullying!
"In my opinion, Fourth Miss Ning is kinder and gentler than all the female monarchs I have ever met. She is an excellent female monarch, no worse than Second Miss Xie!" Zongduo said in favor of Ning Fu.
If Zong Si dared to say anything bad about Ning Fu again, Zong Duo would not let it go! It's not like the two brothers had never fought since they were young! At worst, they could fight again, and he might not lose.
"She may have a lover in her heart." Zong Si thought of Lu Xingzhi again. He didn't want to say anything more to him, so he turned and left.
Zongduo frowned.
Seeing Zong Si say this, he naturally became cautious and did some research, only to find out that Lu Xingzhi's attitude towards Ning Fu was also extremely unusual.
Lu Xingzhi was an aide to Prince Xuan's palace, so Zongduo naturally didn't want to take away someone else's favor.
But he was a straightforward man, so he still wrote a letter to Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi said in the letter: First, I work for the prince for the fourth young lady, and the second young master should not get close to her. Second, the fourth young lady Ning will not agree with you.
Even though he didn't say it to her face, Zongduo could still tell that Lu Xingzhi was confident when he said that Ningfu would not agree with him.
Presumably, he and Nymph were very close.
The possessiveness in his tone was also very obvious. When had Lu Xingzhi ever talked so much before? From this letter, one could see his anxiety, and it was obvious that he was afraid of being poached.
When Ningfu met Zongduo in Hanxiang Temple, she could clearly feel that Zongduo's mood seemed a little complicated, and he looked more like a young man who had been heartbroken.
No longer approach her actively.
This is better, so I don’t have to spend the time and effort to refuse.
"Sister Ning and I are really destined to meet. We meet again." Zong Ning came to see Master Meng Yuan today with Madam Zong Er and Zong Duo.
"My fifth sister and I are here to get the amulet for our grandmother." Nymph said with a smile.
"Second brother, don't you think it's a coincidence?" Zong Ning wanted to find a chance for the two to say a few words.
Zongduo didn't look at Nymph, and said stiffly: "There are countless people coming and going to Hanxiang Temple every day. It's normal to run into this."
This is to dispel the theory of fate.
Zong Ning was confused and looked up at Zong Duo, but found that he was not as enthusiastic as before. He didn't know what he was up to.
Ning Fu bowed and said, "Second Master, Sister Ning, my fifth sister and I are in a hurry to return home, so we won't disturb you."
After saying that, Ning Fu led Ning He into the temple.
"Second brother, if you act like this, Sister Ning will definitely look down on you. No lady would like cold and hard stone." Zong Ning complained.
"The Fourth Young Lady and I don't have this fate. There's no need to mention her anymore." Zongduo said with a stiff face.
Since Lu Xingzhi is in front, he will not take advantage of Lu Xingzhi's work in Liangzhou, otherwise, what difference would it make to him?
Zong Ning didn't understand his change and was a little unhappy for a while. He also had a low opinion of his second brother. When he returned home, he complained to Princess Xuan: "Second brother is playing with Sister Ning's feelings by doing this?"
Princess Xuan said indifferently, "Why are you taking it so seriously when there is nothing to say? It is not a good thing for Prince Xuan's Mansion to be involved with a family like the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion."
In her heart, she did not agree with Zong Duo and Ning Fu, but when Mrs. Zong Er came to discuss it with her, her words were sincere and she really liked him, so she did not say anything sarcastic.
"What are you discussing?" Zong Si heard them arguing when he returned home.
"Erlang doesn't consider the fourth lady anymore." Princess Xuan's expression softened when she saw her son.
Zong Si sat down beside the two of them, his eyes showing no surprise. However, nothing could surprise him, so Princess Xuan didn't think much about it.
Zong Ning said, "Mother, how can you say that? If one day Sister Ning really marries into Prince Xuan's mansion, how can you get along with her if you don't like her so much? Even if you beg her to be your daughter-in-law, she may not be willing to even look at you."
"She can't be my daughter-in-law." Princess Xuan sneered, "Sanlang's marriage is already settled. How old is Silang? Is she going to marry him?"
Zong Si looked at Princess Xuan but said nothing.
Zong Ning snorted softly and said, "That may not be the case. She might really marry Fourth Brother. Sister Ning really likes children. She might like little ones. When I was flying kites with Sister Ning earlier, she couldn't even walk when she saw those little babies."
Zong Si frowned slightly. If a woman likes children, there is a possibility that she has been a mother.
And if Fourth Miss Ning had a child in her previous life, the child must have been his.
These were just things that happened in his previous life. He had no memory of them and was unable to fully empathize with them. In this life, he didn't necessarily have to follow the same path as in his previous life, and he would not let these illusory things disrupt his plans.
Even if he had guessed what happened in his past life, he would not have married Miss Ning Si. Therefore, even though he knew about her past life, he did not mention it to Ning Fu.
As for Ning Fu, the night before she was going to meet Doctor Mu, she wanted to discuss the details with Zong Si, but when she went to Qingtian Pavilion, she was told that Zong Si had no intention of meeting her.
"The prince went to the Duke Qing's mansion today and cannot spare time." Fu Jiahui said tactfully.
Ning Fu was stunned for a moment, then she understood. It should be that Prince Xuan's mansion came to formally confirm the engagement with Xie Ruyi. As the protagonist, he naturally couldn't get away today.
