"Oh, I see. And what about you? Are you going to contribute some money to Qingxiu's dowry?"
Ning Hongze's voice was very soft and light, like a breeze, but it struck Ning Zhen's heart hard.
"I--"
"However, it doesn't matter whether you add it or not. Anyway, I will personally escort her to the bridal sedan chair. Mother also said that she will add some more for her."
"Brother, do you really think this is a good idea?"
"What?"
"It doesn't matter whether this woman gets married or not. Why force Qingxiu to get married? She can stay in the Ning family. No one will say anything to her, and no one will mistreat her."
“I didn’t force her to get married; it was her own choice.”
Ning Hong, standing outside the window, sighed softly.
“If I had known you didn’t like her, I shouldn’t have let you marry her in the first place. You know, back then, the streets were packed with men who wanted to marry Qingxiu, and there was a constant stream of suitors, including some students who had returned from studying abroad.”
"It would be a waste to let Qingxiu marry you."
Ning Zhen felt her teeth itching again.
Is this really his older brother?
Is he Qingxiu's older brother?
"However, Qingxiu is still young, she can remarry."
It was said so casually.
It's not that easy.
Although his classmates personally escorted the bride to her wedding and promised to support his ex-wife, it still took them quite a while to find a good family to marry into.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhen fell silent.
He suddenly felt like he might be a bit of a jerk?
After the divorce, he had already decided to marry Bai Chen, but what about Qing Xiu? He never even considered that Qing Xiu would remarry.
this--
Was he really such a rude person?
It has to be said that he was provoked by his brother's words.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Ning Hong peered through the crack and saw the person inside lying quietly on the bed, motionless.
What's wrong?
Is this guy starving?
Shall we go in and take a look?
No, let's forget about it. He shouldn't starve. Qingxiu brings him food every day.
Anyway, we won't starve, so let's wait a bit longer.
Ning Hong watched for a while longer, and then heard Ning Zhen sigh softly before quietly leaving.
The next day, when Gu Qingxiu came to deliver some snacks, Ning Zhen hesitated to speak.
"Qingxiu, do you want to remarry?"
"Of course, Miss is still so young, she can't stay alone in her room for the rest of her life. Besides, she still needs to have a lovely child."
Before Gu Qingxiu could even speak, the maid beside her had already rattled off a whole string of words.
"Xiaomei?"
“I’m telling the truth, and besides, Madam is already helping you find a match.”
"So fast?"
Ning Zhen was taken aback.
His mother is so eager to marry Qingxiu off, why is she in such a hurry?
"I'm going to get married eventually." Gu Qingxiu lowered her eyes, looking exceptionally beautiful.
"It will be easier for you to marry a new wife once I'm married. Although we'll address each other as brother and sister from now on, we were husband and wife after all. If I'm here, it will inevitably make your new wife feel uncomfortable."
"No, she's very generous and will definitely understand."
"This isn't a matter of generosity, it's a matter of the heart. If it were me, I would definitely mind."
"That's because you never went to school. Let me tell you, Bai Chen is really different; she definitely won't mind—"
"That's wonderful! You'll definitely be very happy in the future. As for me, whether I get married or not, what does that have to do with you?"
"That's not quite it, it does have something to do with me." Ning Zhen scratched her head. "I hope you can find happiness."
His words went unanswered. Ning Zhen looked outside and saw that Gu Qingxiu seemed unwilling to talk to him anymore and left on her own.
"Qingxiu, Qingxiu—"
Why are you ignoring him? Is he angry?
Why? What did he just say wrong?
The sound of gongs and drums was deafening.
The suona horns played joyful tunes, creating a festive atmosphere. Red lanterns were hung everywhere in the house, and large red "囍" (double happiness) characters were pasted all over it.
The servants came and went in a constant stream.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Ning Zhen couldn't help but grab a maid and ask.
"Second Young Master, you're joking. Today is the Second Young Mistress's wedding day, have you forgotten?"
"The wedding day of the second young mistress?"
Ning Zhen repeated it blankly.
"Oh dear, I misspoke. It's not the second young mistress who's getting married, it's Miss."
The maid smiled brightly, "Second Young Master, you should go out too, the bridal sedan chair will be here soon."
"A bridal sedan chair?"
"The new son-in-law originally wanted to drive here, but the young lady refused, saying that the bridal sedan chair looked better."
"Yeah?"
A sedan chair is definitely more comfortable than a bridal sedan chair.
However, Qingxiu had been bound by feudal ideas since childhood, so she would definitely prefer to be in a bridal sedan chair.
"She has never ridden in a car before—"
"Young master, what are you joking about? The new son-in-law has already taken the young lady for a ride several times. They are in love with each other, it's not an arranged marriage."
Ning Zhen's smile froze instantly.
"That's good—"
"Of course not, young master, didn't you say that arranged marriages are shameful? Naturally, it has to be something the young lady likes."
The maid happily carried the things forward.
