"How old are you this year?" Mingjue suddenly asked, his tone softening as he looked at the face that resembled his wife's.
"Eleven years old, what's wrong?" Ning Anuo tore off another piece of gauze. "Well, this gauze is quite expensive. If you have the money, you'd better pay for it."
Ning Hongze: "..."
This idiot! He should have been the one saying that. Why did he blurt it out? What if this person really is his father? Wouldn't that be awkward?
Since there wasn't a special reason for not wanting Anuo, it's only a matter of time before she reunites with her parents.
In particular, Anno longed for her mother's love—
"Of course, you saved me, so we will definitely reward you."
"Hmph, that's just how petty people from small families are," Xiaoru couldn't help but say again.
“Yes, my family is poor, we don’t have any money. If you have money, remember to give us more.” Qian Duo couldn’t help but say.
She can't stand it when people say bad things about Ning Anuo.
"Xiaoru, get out." Jiang Cha's face turned even uglier.
"Miss, I—"
Xiaoru wanted to explain something, but Xiaoguo pushed her away.
"Just shut up. What's wrong with you these past few days?"
"I--"
She was worried that her mistress would end up with that Ning Hongze.
But how can one say such a thing?
"Oh dear, you should go back and rest. Anyway, Miss doesn't want to see you right now." Seeing Xiaoru hesitate, Xiaoguo stomped her foot, turned around, and went back inside.
She really couldn't understand what Xiaoru was thinking these past two days. As a servant, one should naturally obey the young lady's orders. It was a bit much for Xiaoru to keep interfering in the young lady's affairs.
It's perfectly normal to be disliked by a young lady.
“I need to make one thing clear to you first: this gauze is indeed very valuable,” Qian Duo explained. “It may not mean much to you, but it is quite valuable to us.”
She didn't want Ning Anuo to be misunderstood.
"Why bother explaining so much to them?" Ning Anuo pulled Qian Duo behind her, her tone full of protectiveness.
"Is she your sister?" Mingjue chuckled softly.
"She's not my sister, she's my future wife."
Mingjue: "..."
“When we grow up a little more, we will get married.” As she said this, Ning Anuo slightly raised her chin.
"You're so young, and you already have a child bride?" Isn't this family a bit unreliable? So young, and they've already arranged a marriage for Ning Annuo? "That's way too young. What if she regrets it later?"
Mingjue couldn't help but say to Ning Hongze.
"What's wrong? I like money. My brother helped me settle it first, so what?" Ning Anuo's face darkened.
He hates it when people say things like that.
I always felt that their words stemmed from dissatisfaction with his brother. Even though his brother was only trying to help him, there were always some inexplicable people pointing fingers at them.
"That's not what I meant." Ning Anuo was still young, and all his emotions were written on his face. At this moment, it was clear that he was very unhappy.
"I don't care what you mean. In short, we are strangers, and I don't want to hear a stranger interfering in my family's affairs."
Ning Anuo said with dissatisfaction.
"Anno, stop talking."
"Hmph, I'm not wrong, brother, you're his savior."
Upon hearing the words "savior," Mingjue suddenly realized what was happening.
Oh no, he was so shocked that he almost forgot about it.
If he hadn't happened to run into Ning Hongze this time, he probably wouldn't be alive.
Mingjue coughed lightly, his gaze sweeping over Ning Anuo again.
"Feel sorry."
"It's alright."
Ning Hong shook her head and quickly applied the medicine to him. "You should get some rest."
After saying that, he pulled Ning Anuo out.
"Brother, why are you being so polite to him?"
Ning Anuo's dissatisfied voice came from outside.
“You are his savior, not the other way around. Why do you seem to be more polite to him?”
"Oh, you'll see later."
Ning Hong then flicked Ning Anuo's forehead with her hand.
He might be your biological father.
Of course, it wasn't because of these reasons that he treated him differently; the main reason was that this person was also a hero, regardless of whether he was Anno's biological father.
Jiang Cha also mentioned that her relatives live in Huayang City.
Judging from his attire, he was clearly a soldier. Regardless, such a person deserved Ning Hongze's utmost respect.
However, I haven't heard of any war breaking out in Huayang City. Perhaps it was attacked by its own people.
This is a mess.
External enemies remain, but internal strife has never ceased.
“This Ning Hongze doesn’t seem like an ordinary farm boy in his speech and manner.”
“That’s because you didn’t see him working in the fields. He’s a 100% typical farm boy,” Jiang Cha said.
“Acha, I didn’t doubt his meaning, you don’t need to explain so hastily.”
Mingjue's lips curled up slightly. Just now, Acha had been secretly watching Ning Hongze, which clearly showed that she had a special feeling for this young man.
Now that he has only said this one sentence, she immediately rushed to defend him, which only confirmed his suspicions.
"Acha, do you like this boy?"
"Uncle, what are you talking about? He's younger than me."
"It doesn't matter if it's smaller. To be honest, if you weren't uninterested in Mingzhi, I would have wanted Mingzhi to get engaged to you."
That's a huge difference.
Jiang Cha looked exasperated. "Don't you dare try to play matchmaker."
"I know, I was just saying, your aunt won't agree anyway." Mingjue laughed, but his expression changed after only two laughs.
It aggravated the wound.
Damn, it hurts so much.
Ginger tea: "......"
I don't know what to say?
I always felt—he deserved it—
When Mingzhi arrived at the Huayang City garrison camp, his heart sank.
His father disappeared; he really did disappear again.
Was his father ultimately doomed? He wasn't entirely sure of the exact time of his father's accident, only the general area and the day his father's body was brought back.
Was he ultimately powerless to change his predetermined fate?
"Then—have you looked for my father?"
"Your Highness, we have searched, but we haven't found it," the man said with a mournful face. "We've searched every inch of the surrounding mountains, from top to bottom."
"We need to find him alive or dead. Keep searching—"
There's no place where you can't find someone.
He had always been puzzled by the cause of his father's death, but the reason only gradually came to light when he died.
But he didn't know who the murderer was; the only thing he knew was that it was someone in the military.
He was an acquaintance of his father.
