Chapter 144 The First Relative
"You little bitch, how dare you run away!" The sturdy man next to her kicked her hard.
Yuhuan held her head and cried silently, but she kept her eyes open and looked straight at Nymph, as if she was her life-saving straw.
Yuhuan now is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and is the same as the maid in her memory who made her happy every day.
During the three years in Prince Xuan's Palace, Yuhuan was the most important person to her. It was because of her presence that those long three years were not so difficult to endure.
Every day before she got up, Yuhuan would come to her bedside and say with a smile, "Princess, what would you like to eat this morning?"
When the summer was hot, Yuhuan would stand by her side, fanning her at any time to cool her down, and taking care of her wholeheartedly. Even if she was sick, she was afraid that the other maids would not take good care of her, so she told the person who replaced her about her preferences in detail.
Even Princess Xuan said that the two maids beside her, Dongzhu and Yuhuan, were both extremely smart and dedicated.
But she didn't expect that she was placed by Meng Ze beside her.
"Girl, save me." Yuhuan begged with tears streaming down her face.
Dongzhu said to Ningfu, "Miss, this person might have escaped from Yixianglou. Many people would sell their daughters here to supplement their family income."
Yuhuan was "sold" to Yixianglou by her parents, but it seems that this is not the case now.
Ningfu didn't want to care at first, but when she saw the injuries on her body, she remembered the friendship from her previous life. When she fell off her horse, she rushed over to protect her and lay in bed for three months.
Finally she signaled the driver to stop the two strong men.
"I wonder why you two are making things difficult for a little girl?" asked the driver.
"In a difficult situation? Her parents received money and sold her to our boss lady. She is the girl in the building. Now she wants to escape. Wouldn't our boss lady lose the money in vain? If this goes on, will our boss lady still be able to do business?" The two sturdy men said aggressively.
The driver looked back at Nymph.
Nymph said, "If I pay enough silver to redeem her, can you let her go?"
The two strong men looked at each other and saw that this carriage was an official carriage. One of them guarded Yuhuan while the other went in to report.
But a moment later, Nymph saw a graceful middle-aged woman come out and asked with a smile: "How much can you pay for this little hoof?"
Nymph reported a number.
The woman's expression changed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "If that's the case, then this little hoof is yours."
The number Ning Fu quoted was naturally not low, but it was not this high. Perhaps Meng Ze had already told her that as long as the price was right, he would agree to her offer.
Ningfu glanced at Dongzhu, who then helped Yuhuan onto the carriage.
Yuhuan had already sobbed and kowtowed, "Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you to repay you. Please take me in, I can do anything for you."
Ning Fu smiled slightly, more of a relief. At the moment, she naturally had no sincerity in order to complete the task, but in the future, as they lived together day and night, she would definitely not be arranged by Meng Ze at all.
Her concern for me cannot be faked.
But a nymph would not keep a spy around her, so she would not leave her behind.
"Do you have a name?" Nymph asked her patiently.
Yuhuan shook her head: "Father just calls me Big Girl."
"Then from now on, you will be called Yuhuan." said Nymph.
"Thank you, young lady." Yuhuan looked at her hopefully.
Ningfu then ordered Dongzhu to take out some silver and handed it to Yuhuan, saying, "Take this money and do some business yourself. I can't take you in right now."
Yuhuan froze and said, "Miss, I can really do a lot of work, please take me in."
"I saved you only because I felt that we were destined to be together. Just go ahead and live your life without worry. When your life is settled, you can write a letter to the Duke's Mansion in the name of Yuhuan. I will know it is your letter when I see it. I will go to see you when I have the chance."
Ning Fu wrote this letter because she was afraid that she would not do her job well and would be punished by Meng Ze. If she wanted to see her, Meng Ze would keep her.
"Thank you, young lady." Yuhuan kowtowed to her several times.
Nymph arranged for someone to send her away.
Dongzhu asked curiously, "Miss, why did you give her a name?"
People usually give names to people after they have been adopted.
"Perhaps I have a connection with her. I feel that the name Yuhuan is very suitable for her." Nymph smiled and said, "It seems that I have seen her in my dream before."
Dongzhu felt a little bit jealous: "Fortunately, the girl didn't accept her, otherwise, the girl's heart would have been taken away by her."
Ningfu turned around and looked at Dongzhu for a few seconds, and said jokingly: "Why are you jealous of her? You grew up with me since you were little, who can surpass you?"
Dongzhu blushed slightly and said no more.
Nymph's thoughts were far away. She lived her life again and chose a different path. In the future, more and more familiar people would drift away from her.
…
Wei Xiao was accused by Li of raping a woman and was arrested for more than half a month before the Ningguo Mansion came forward and proved that his crime was not true.
In just the past half month, Wei Xiao has suffered a lot. Not only is he covered in wounds, but he has also lost a lot of weight.
During this period, Meng Ze naturally had someone take heavy measures in order to please her.
When they met again, Wei Xiao hardly dared to look at the other women.
Ning Fu couldn't help but admire in her heart that men are the best way to rule other men. As soon as Meng Ze took action, Wei Xiao became so obedient.
When the two met at the Prince's Mansion, Meng Ze smiled and said, "Wei Xiao will obey Second Miss Ning in the future, so Cousin Ning doesn't have to worry anymore."
Ningfu smiled but said nothing. Naturally, she couldn't say that she had done anything behind the scenes.
"I just don't know if cousin Ning will treat me the same way if I have other women in the future." Meng Ze's tone was a little more meaningful.
"My cousin is a prince, how dare I do this." Seeing that he made it clear, Ning Fu had no choice but to pretend to be submissive and could no longer insist that she had not done anything about Wei Xiao.
Meng Ze was somewhat satisfied and said, "You also know that men have to socialize outside, but I promise you that no one will threaten Cousin Ning's position. As long as you marry me, you will be the first foreign relative in the Duke's Mansion in the future."
The first relative by marriage is the emperor’s father-in-law.
"What do you mean, cousin?" Nymph said calmly.
"I didn't pay attention to my words." Meng Ze said with a smile.
Ning Fu knew in her heart why he said such words on purpose. He probably wanted her to tell her father that he was now in the upper hand, so he said the wrong thing "inadvertently".
It also shows that he is in urgent need of his father's support. It seems that the situation in the North is becoming increasingly unstable.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Zong Si’s “death” was a bit strange.
