Chapter 894: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 36
Nie Caixing didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment. The Crown Prince was still lying on the bed, unconscious, and Miss Ji was going to marry him soon. According to the Duke's wishes, she had to make things clear and couldn't hide it from Miss Ji.
She had the same idea, but when the words came to her lips, she still found it difficult to say them.
To put it bluntly, the Duke's Mansion used its power to coerce others. The betrothal gifts had been delivered and there was a lot of noise, so the girl did not dare to disagree.
Ji Yunhuan half lowered her eyes and looked at Nanny Nie's hand. She had felt it just now. Nanny Nie's hands were very rough, with calluses, thick fingers, and the base of her right hand was deformed.
Since Nanny Nie could come to propose marriage on behalf of the Duke's Mansion, her status must be quite high. Not to mention the respected Nannies in the Duke's Mansion, even the slightly respectable Nannies in the Ji family do not do rough work and pay great attention to maintenance, for fear of offending their master.
Hearing Ji Yunhuan's doubts, Yun Ye chattered loudly.
[Aunt Nie, like the late Duke's wife, had been to the battlefield. When the barbarians invaded, they killed many people, and almost all of Aunt Nie's family members died. Her family was a distant relative of the Nie family, so she went to the Nie family alone. Madam Nie was good at swords, and Aunt Nie was good at bows. They worked well together and were very close.]
[The Duke was still in Longzhou at that time, and the Nie family was also a local military general in Longzhou. They had served in the army for generations. After the war was quelled, the Nie family was promoted, and the two got married. Not long after, they were recalled to the capital by the emperor.]
Ji Yunhuan had an idea in mind. Nanny Nie had gone to the capital with Madam Nie. Although they were master and servant, they were actually more like relatives. Nanny Nie was the person Madam Nie trusted the most, so Madam Nie gave all the dowry to her to manage.
Madam Nie was afraid that the Duke would ignore his eldest son after he remarried. She didn't even really trust the Duke, but she believed in Madam Nie.
Ji Yunhuan was the first to speak and break the silence, "Huan'er often heard the prince mention the scenery of Longzhou. He said that he ran away from home when he was young, so he wanted to go to Longzhou to take a look. He wanted to see the lonely smoke in the desert and the setting sun on the long river that Nanny Nie mentioned. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Duke before he left Shangjing."
Nie Caixing laughed when she heard this, "How come he even told you this? Aren't you ashamed? When he was little, he was like a rascal. He would go crazy if he wasn't punished for three days. The Duke's wife doted on him, but the Duke would beat him when he got angry, and he would threaten to run away from home."
"He said he was going to look for his grandparents, and that he wouldn't come back after he went to Longzhou. He was a little guy, so he packed a bag and ran away. Before he left, he came to say goodbye to me with tears in his eyes, as if he was saying goodbye to someone who would die. It was so funny, hahahaha..."
"I was just playing with the kids. When I went out, my bag was robbed and I was caught by kidnappers. I was starving and cold, so I became obedient! That stupid kid still doesn't know that I arranged the kidnappers, hahaha... He was so arrogant that he thought he was lawless and dared to run away from home with his mediocre skills!"
Nie Caixing laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He patted Ji Yunhuan's arm and said happily, "Don't tell him, or he will make trouble with me! After that kid came back, he practiced martial arts fiercely and still didn't like to study. He is exactly the same as his mother. The Duke himself doesn't like to study either. It can be seen that this is the source of family learning."
"I know he wanted to learn martial arts and then go to Longzhou, but people from the Duke's Mansion cannot go back to Longzhou. Even if they have relatives there, going there would arouse the emperor's suspicion. I don't know who told him that, but he kept clamoring to go there during that period. He was really courting death!"
Yun Ye had heard it and was so angry that he wanted to rush over and fight with Aunt Nie!
But he is just a soul now and can only be angry.
When he grew up, he was ruthless in catching human traffickers, which caused a lot of uproar. His father even scolded him for being reckless, but he never caught the person who kidnapped him that day. It turned out that it was all arranged by Aunt Nie!
Ji Yunhuan also laughed, "He was indeed a bit naughty when he was young, but he got better as he grew up. Now he is in charge of the patrol camp, and everyone under him respects him very much. It is said that Prince Yun is a playboy, but I think he is a practical man who is not afraid of offending people."
Nie Caixing smiled with curved eyebrows, "You know a lot. People outside say that Ye'er is not good, but I think he is a very good child. Although he is a little naughty, he is not a bad person by nature."
The two of them had a great conversation, and Nie Caixing was very surprised, "Yer tells you everything, which shows that he really likes you. The child has grown up and doesn't like to whisper to me anymore, but he tells you everything."
"Don't call me Aunt Nie. It sounds old-fashioned. Just call me Aunt Nie. When you move into the mansion, I will give you everything Ying'er left behind."
Ji Yun laughed and called out "Aunt Nie".
The immortal chattered in her ears every day, and he had almost told her everything about his family. She knew Yun Ye very well, and the immortal often let slip things, but she pretended not to hear them. She had to give the immortal some face, otherwise he would be angry.
The immortal has a bad temper, but is easy to appease.
The more Nie Caixing looked at Ji Yunhuan, the more satisfied she became. She was cheerful and free-spirited by nature, and had never thought about finding a girl from a high-class family for Yunye. As long as Yunye liked her, it was fine.
"I'm telling you the truth. Yun Ye has been in a coma for two months. He suddenly woke up last night and said he wanted to marry you."
"I don't know when I will wake up next time, and I don't know if this illness can be cured. The doctor is helpless, and Master Ci'an doesn't have a definite answer. May 8th is a good day. The Duke wants you to marry him as soon as possible. This is the situation. Are you willing to marry?"
Ji Yunhuan opened her big watery eyes, and her performance went from shock to heartache, and then to determination. Her performance was so layered and full of emotion.
"I... I haven't seen the prince for quite some time. I thought that I was born in a humble family, and that it was a blessing from heaven that I met the prince by chance. I didn't dare to ask for more. It turned out that it wasn't that the prince didn't want to see me, but that he was sick."
"Aunt Nie told me so frankly, why would I not want to marry? The Shen family has already called off the engagement, and even after all this trouble, the prince still loves me so much, and even when he was seriously ill, he didn't forget to propose marriage. I will never find another man who treats me so sincerely in this life."
"No matter what happens to the prince in the future, whether he can wake up or not, I am willing to take care of him for the rest of my life! If the prince passes away one day, I will go with him..."
Nie Caixing covered Ji Yunhuan's mouth and scolded: "Child, it's good to be affectionate and righteous, but it's wrong to be stupid."
"We in the Duke's Mansion don't have the bad custom of burying people alive with the dead. If you marry him, you will be the Crown Prince's consort. If it is true as Madam Dong said, that your fates are compatible, it will be great if you marry him. That will be your credit, and the Duke's Mansion will not treat you unfairly."
Ji Yunhuan took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears. "Your Highness is a lucky man, and he will definitely wake up."
Nie Caixing ordered people to carry the betrothal gifts directly to Ji Yunhuan's yard, and use them as dowry when she got married. Seeing that there were few people serving Ji Yunhuan, she also left a few people for Ji Yunhuan.
After settling Ji Yunhuan, she told Xu the wedding date and took her people back to the Duke's Mansion to report.
