The Seventh Prince suddenly called out to Ning Hongze.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Hong turned around, a mocking glint in her eyes. "What brings you here, Seventh Prince?"
He used to be his brother-in-law, but he isn't anymore.
After Ning Zixi and her husband divorced, they had no further relationship.
"Duke of Wei, I hope you can stay away from Su Yuan and not get close to her anymore."
Song Zhi said with a cold face.
“Okay.” Ning Hong agreed without hesitation.
"you……"
His decisiveness only made Song Zhi's expression worse. It was as if the treasure he cherished was being scorned by others.
That's often how people are: the more people like something, the more people fight over it, the more they cherish it.
Even Su Yuan's expression was somewhat stiff.
She felt that Ning Hongze seemed to completely disregard her.
Of course, if it were two months ago, she certainly wouldn't have cared about these things. After all, Ning Hongze was ugly, and getting rid of an ugly person's entanglement would be a great thing for him.
But hearing his words at this moment, I felt inexplicably complicated.
"Brother Ning, we..."
"Be good, listen to your future husband."
Ning Hong reached out her hand, seemingly wanting to pat Su Yuan's head, but then silently withdrew it halfway through.
That restrained expression left Su Yuan momentarily dazed.
She suddenly realized that he probably liked her.
Otherwise, why would he have such an expression?
He is truly different.
He must have been afraid of putting her in a difficult position, which is why he chose to withdraw directly.
He was thinking of her wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, a wave of emotion welled up in my heart.
Watching Ning Hongze's figure gradually disappear, Su Yuan felt an unbearable pang of sorrow in her heart, and her eyes even reddened.
"Su Yuan—"
"Why did you say that?" Su Yuan turned to look at Song Zhi.
What did I say?
"Tell Brother Ning not to come near me. We're friends, why can't he come near me?"
“Su Yuan, you need to understand something.” Song Zhi couldn’t understand Su Yuan. “You are my fiancée, we are about to get married, and you are having such a good relationship with other men. Have you ever thought about my feelings?”
"Song Zhi, Brother Ning and I are just friends."
“But I will be jealous, I will be angry, and I will not want to see other men around you.”
He had finally managed to stand out from so many people, so naturally he wanted to hold on to her tightly and not give her to anyone else.
"I--"
“I know my emotions are a bit irrational, but I hope you can understand me.”
Song Zhi stepped forward and pulled Su Yuan into his arms.
"Song Zhi, I'm sorry, I was wrong too, it was my fault."
Su Yuan snuggled against Song Zhi's shoulder and hugged his waist tightly. "I understand how you feel. After all, seeing you with other women doesn't make me feel comfortable either—"
Ning Hong, who had returned, stood at the bottom of the stairs watching the two of them embrace.
There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
The moment Su raised her head, she met Ning Hong's slightly dim eyes and instinctively pushed Song Zhi away.
"What's wrong?"
Song Zhi was puzzled.
He reached out and grabbed Su Yuan's hand.
"I...I'm hungry."
Ning Hong then left.
Each step seemed particularly heavy.
"Then I'll have the waiter come and take our order. What would you like to eat?"
Song Zhi pulled Su Yuan down to sit.
What about you? What would you like to eat?
"If it were up to me, I would definitely order a lot of sweet and sour dishes, such as sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, and sweet and sour meatballs."
"Why?"
"Of course it's because of my mood. I'm feeling like this right now, all bittersweet."
"That's all then." Su Yuan smiled. If she were to order, she would have liked to order a plate of bitter melon. Her mood had just improved slightly, but after meeting Ning Hongze's eyes, it became even more bitter.
"Host, are you sure what you just did really worked? They've both eaten, and their relationship is back to normal."
"That's not necessarily true."
Even if things appear to have returned to normal on the surface, their inner state may be quite different.
The seed had already been planted in their hearts; it was just waiting for the right time, when it would explode automatically with the slightest touch.
It was a pleasant surprise.
I never expected my face to have such an effect.
After the winter solstice, the Spring Festival will be just around the corner.
The streets of the capital are becoming increasingly lively.
The vendors in the two rows also had to shout out their wares.
In truth, Song Zhuo was a decent emperor; at least during his reign, the country was peaceful and prosperous.
The Tang Dynasty was also thriving.
His best quality is his ability to recognize and utilize talent.
They are able to listen to the advice of others.
Alas, it's a pity that this person's heart isn't blind, but his eyes are.
Later, he did many absurd things for Su Yuan.
"Brother, it's so lively!"
Ning Zixi sat inside the carriage, looking at everything outside with a joyful expression.
They originally wanted to leave the capital, but the emperor suddenly went mad and rejected their resignation.
It's the Lunar New Year, we can't just spend it on the farm.
Ning Hong then personally brought the two girls back.
"It's really lively." Ning Changxi also looked around, though she only dared to huddle in the corner of the carriage and watch secretly. After all, to be honest, she was already in the Cold Palace at this moment.
If people see this, it's not a big deal if she goes back to the Cold Palace, but I'm worried that her brother will be affected.
The servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion removed the threshold of the main gate, allowing the carriage to enter smoothly.
This puzzled the people across the hall.
"Hey, why did you take down your door threshold?"
"It's because our great-aunt is coming back and can't stand the wind."
The affair between Ning Zixi and the Seventh Prince caused quite a stir in the city, and most people in the capital had heard about it.
When they got married, they were a perfect couple, the envy of countless men and women in the capital.
But I never expected it would end like this.
Thinking of the rumors spread by the people in the Duke of Wei's mansion, the Seventh Prince's actions made the young ladies in the capital feel a chill in their hearts and a greater fear of their future.
To be fair, the Duke of Wei was quite a man of principle.
The Seventh Prince apologized to Ning Zixi, so the Duke of Wei simply took her away.
Even though the Seventh Prince was a member of the royal family, he did not back down at all and agreed to a divorce without hesitation.
This made the women of the capital very envious.
I wonder if they will have such strong-willed family members after they get married.
For a woman, childbirth is like stepping into the gates of hell. A single misstep, like the Seventh Prince's, could lead to her husband's infidelity, putting these women in grave danger. They only wondered if they would have a brother like the Duke of Wei to rescue them from this misery.
