Chapter 46 He Heard
Ning Fengzhi lifted her skirt and walked to the front of the villa with a fierce look on her face. Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, she suddenly found that the door was ajar, leaving a gap.
Her mind suddenly changed, and she immediately slowed down her pace, gently pushed open the gate, and walked in quietly.
"Mr. Ning, thank you. If it weren't for you today, Xizhi really doesn't know what to do."
A soft voice came from inside the house, it was Gu Xizhi.
Then, a gentle male voice sounded, "Don't be polite, Miss Gu. Since I have been asked to do so, I will take good care of you."
After a moment of silence, Gu Xizhi said worriedly: "Sister Fengzhi is probably angry with me, and this time Master Ning sent me home first, Fengzhi is probably even more..."
Ning Fengyu immediately took over the conversation and consoled him, "Fengzhi was just too naive. He was fooled by Shen Jiasui in a few words and now he blames you."
"It's okay. I'll explain it to Fengzhi for you later."
When Ning Fengzhi heard this, she became so angry that her face flushed and she gnashed her teeth. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xizhi's voice came again:
"Mr. Ning, don't blame Sister Fengzhi. In fact, in some places...Xizhi exaggerated."
"You also know that Xizhi is just an orphan. After the Shen family kicked me out, I was worried and scared. Apart from Yunzheng, Xizhi has no other friends."
"Shen Jiasui hated me for taking away the favor of my godfather and godmother. He always spoke coldly to me and beat and scolded me. Fengzhi was so gentle, and I just wanted to keep her."
"I'm sorry, I'm so mean, but I just want a friend..."
Gu Xizhi cried continuously, and every word she said in the end was full of repentance.
"Miss Gu, please don't be like this. Your crying makes my heart hurt..."
When Ning Fengzhi heard this, he was so frightened that his eyes widened. He dared not remain silent any longer, and quickly ran forward and pushed open the door.
Bang!
Inside the house, Ning Fengyu and Gu Xizhi were startled and turned their heads to look.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling. He pointed at the two of them and was speechless for a long time.
Gu Xizhi was seen sitting at the table, her face tearful. Ning Fengyu bent down and put his hands on Gu Xizhi's shoulders.
How can such an intimate act be called innocent?
"Toyoe! Sister!"
Ning Fengyu and Gu Xizhi didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to come so quickly, and they were both stunned.
But they both reacted quickly, and one of them turned away while the other turned back.
"You...you guys..."
Ning Fengzhi's thin lips trembled. She was clearly furious in her heart, but at this moment she couldn't control her tears.
Ning Fengyu saw his sister crying, and immediately panicked and distressed. He immediately came forward and said in a gentle voice:
"Sister, it's not what you think. Miss Gu is sad and upset, and I just said a few words to comfort her. I was thinking of going to the Prince's Mansion to pick you up right away."
When Ning Fengzhi heard this, he looked up and glared at his brother, saying coldly, "But you didn't come!"
Ning Fengyu couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Shouldn't the banquet end at 15:30? I clearly calculated the time."
When Ning Fengzhi heard this, his mouth drooped and he felt even more aggrieved:
"The party ended early. Everyone left in pairs, and I was the only one left. Because of Gu Xizhi, they all stopped playing with me and laughed at me!"
Having said this, Ning Fengzhi remembered the purpose of his trip and immediately glared at Gu Xizhi.
"It's all your fault! You're so eloquent and full of lies, you deceived me! I trusted you so much, but you took advantage of me, and now I've become the laughing stock of everyone!"
Gu Xizhi's face turned pale when she heard this. She opened her mouth, but tears rolled down her face first.
"I'm sorry, Toyoda."
Ning Fengzhi sneered, his tone becoming increasingly sharp.
"What's the point of you apologizing now? If you had the ability, why did you pretend to faint and avoid me, leaving me alone to deal with it?"
"If you really feel sorry for me, come with me now and explain it to everyone!"
As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he really came forward to pull Gu Xizhi.
When Ning Fengyu saw this, he immediately held Ning Fengzhi's hand and frowned, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Miss Gu just told me that she was wrong first, but she just wanted to be on good terms with you. Now that she has apologized, why don't you forgive her?"
Ning Fengzhi was so angry when she heard her brother's words were in favor of Gu Xizhi that she shouted:
"If I forgive her, who will forgive me? Brother, do you know how much ridicule I have endured today?"
"Now all the young ladies in the capital know about Gu Xizhi's character. She had an affair without a matchmaker and gave things to someone privately. This is a corrupt character!"
"Besides, she is also a fickle womanizer. Having Brother Yunzheng is not enough, and now she is trying to seduce me—"
"presumptuous!"
Ning Fengyu's face flushed red and he raised his right hand towards Ning Fengzhi in anger.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened when he saw this, and he said in disbelief: "Brother, you want to hit me? You're actually going to hit me for Gu Xizhi?"
When Ning Fengyu saw Ning Fengzhi's tearful eyes, his heart softened and he put down his hand in annoyance.
"Sister, how can I bear to hit you, but you are too unreasonable. After the banquet, everyone will go home. Where are you going to take Miss Gu?"
Ning Fengzhi felt sad and cold at the moment, and cried, "It doesn't matter where we go, even if it means explaining to each family one by one. I just want everyone to know that I was deceived by Gu Xizhi!"
Ning Fengzhi refused to give in and tried to pull Gu Xizhi again.
Gu Xizhi was caught off guard and was pulled by Ning Fengzhi, causing her to stagger and almost fall.
But she never resisted, she just shook her head with tears in her eyes and said with a guilty look:
"Fengzhi, go slowly, I'll go with you. I'll go with you right now. As long as it can make you feel better, even if you ask me to go to General Dingguo's mansion to apologize to Shen Jiasui, I'll go."
Ning Fengzhi was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw Gu Xizhi being so hypocritical.
I am so stupid. Before today, I thought Gu Xizhi was gentle and kind, and that she was fragile and beautiful.
"You are still pretending! It was you who slandered Shen Jiasui. You stole her fiancé first! Gu Xizhi, do you really dare to go to General Dingguo's mansion to see her?"
The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other, and the room suddenly became a mess.
Ning Fengyu couldn't stand it any longer when he saw his sister being so unreasonable. He brushed Ning Fengzhi's hand away, helped Gu Xizhi steady herself from staggering, and shouted coldly:
"Sister, that's enough! How long are you going to keep acting unreasonably?"
Ning Fengzhi lost his balance and took several steps back until his heel touched the threshold and he was able to stand still.
She raised her head suddenly and saw that her brother pushed her away, but held Gu Xizhi and whispered comforting words. In an instant, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
At this time, Ning Fengyu also noticed Ning Fengzhi's dazed and disappointed look. His heart ached and he hurried forward to comfort her.
But Ning Fengzhi seemed to be greatly stimulated. There was a sarcastic smile on her face, but tears were streaming down her face.
"Brother, are you still Fengzhi's brother? You pushed me today for a girl you've only known for a few days!"
Ning Fengyu panicked when he heard this, let go of Gu Xizhi and walked forward, explaining quickly: "Sister, brother is not--"
"No? No what?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly started crying again, crying with such grievance that she couldn't stop.
"You just fell in love with Gu Xizhi, right? You two were alone in the Zhenxia Pavilion today, did you think I hadn't reacted yet?"
"Don't cheat on your friend's wife. Don't you understand this principle, brother?"
"And Gu Xizhi, and you! You have clearly snatched away Shen Jiasui's brother Yun Zheng, so why are you fawning over my brother and pretending to be weak!"
"You are fickle, disgusting, and hypocritical. What did I say wrong?"
"Ning Fengyu, I'm telling you, I won't forgive you. I'm going home right now and telling my parents what happened today!"
Ning Fengzhi raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, feeling a mixture of anger and disappointment. She could not stay in this villa for even a moment longer.
She turned around suddenly, took a step, and suddenly stopped.
Because she saw at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Yunzheng had a gloomy look and a cold expression, and was walking towards her step by step.
