694 Intimacy, who knows good and bad
Well……
Well, facing the Ninth Prince's accusation, Feng Qingchen once again said that she could not find words to refute. She was used to relying on herself and not on others, and she never intended to change her habits, even if that person was the Ninth Prince.
Man...she can love him with all her heart, but she can't rely on him completely.
The worst consequence of loving someone wholeheartedly is a hurt heart, but total reliance can be fatal. It doesn't necessarily mean that the man is unreliable, but that he doesn't show up in time when you need him the most.
She doesn't want to turn herself into a tragic figure, so... I'm sorry, Uncle Ninth Prince, please bear with me.
Feng Qingchen spread her hands, indicating that even if she admitted the accusation of the Ninth Prince, she would not correct it: "I am used to relying on myself. If you are not satisfied, you can return it."
"Return goods?" The Ninth Prince had long been annoyed by Feng Qingchen's personality. Feng Qingchen was like this when he first met her. Just hearing the word "return goods" made him very unhappy. Did Feng Qingchen think this was a joke?
Feng Qingchen didn't seem to notice the Ninth Uncle's dissatisfaction, and nodded to explain: "Yes, it is a return, or you can say that you abandoned me."
"I will abandon you?" The Ninth Prince really wanted to cut Feng Qingchen's head open to see what was in her mind.
"The decision is in your hands. You don't need to ask me. I promise that when that day comes, I will not pester you." Feng Qingchen shrank her neck. Well, under the threat of evil forces, she lowered her noble head again.
"Hmph... Don't dream. This king will never abandon you." The Ninth Prince snorted heavily. Feng Qingchen nodded with a smile: "I know, you don't have to promise me again and again."
It's hard to be a woman, and it's even harder to be the Ninth Prince's woman. If you want to hear sweet words, you have to use your own brain. Feng Qingchen smiled like a little fox whose evil plan had succeeded.
Well... this time it's the Ninth Prince's turn to change his expression.
"Cunning woman." The emperor's uncle said viciously, but his red ears revealed his mood at the moment.
"Mutual." Feng Qingchen accepted it with a smile. He used the table as support, propped up his chin with both hands, and looked at the Ninth Uncle with a smile.
Feeling depressed, he went for a stroll with the Ninth Prince to relieve his boredom. Seeing the Ninth Prince's depressed look, the irritability of the past few days dissipated a lot.
Ahem… Uncle Nine felt uncomfortable being looked at by Feng Qingchen. He turned his head away and said in a rough voice, “Tell me, what do you want from me? Don’t say you miss me. Don’t tell me that reason. You can’t tell it, and I won’t believe it even if you tell it.”
After saying this, the Ninth Prince raised his chin, making it clear that he wanted Feng Qingchen to cooperate and say that she missed him.
He said what Feng Qingchen wanted to hear, and as a courtesy, Feng Qingchen had to say something as well to help him relieve his depression of the past few days.
Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen has never been a considerate girl. Feng Qingchen nodded: "Uncle Jiu, you still understand me. Of course, I can't come to you just because I miss you. I have to come here because someone asked me to do so."
If she didn't agree to speak for Fu Lin, Fu Lin probably wouldn't let her go.
The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth: "You mean, if someone didn't force you, you definitely wouldn't come?"
It would be fine if Feng Qingchen didn't cooperate, but he even dared to say that he had to visit him. Is his Ninth Prince's Mansion so annoying?
"If you say so, I will definitely not refute it." Feng Qingchen came here today to challenge the Ninth Prince's patience.
There was no way. Anyone would be unhappy if someone threatened their parents' burial place. Feng Qingchen couldn't show it in front of Fu Lin, an outsider, so the Ninth Prince had to consider himself unlucky.
As a result, the Ninth Prince not only failed to get rid of the depression in his heart, but became even more depressed. He said angrily: "Feng Qingchen, don't force me to throw you out. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and then get out."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, Fu Lin came to me and said he wanted to see you, to talk to you and see if we can reconcile. He doesn't want to be your enemy." After saying that, Feng Qingchen got up and left.
She got out.
"Get back here!" The Ninth Prince hadn't even digested Feng Qingchen's words when he realized that Feng Qingchen was about to leave, and he shouted loudly.
"Sorry, I'm going too far. I can't come back." Feng Qingchen turned around, saluted playfully, and continued to walk out. But as soon as he turned a few steps, he heard a "pop" sound...
The door is closed!
Feng Qingchen's nose was almost pinched. Feng Qingchen was startled and stepped back quickly: "You murdered me!"
"You're not dead."
"You really want me to die." Unable to leave, Feng Qingchen "rolled" back obediently and sat down in his original place.
"No one wants you to die. What's wrong with you? Who offended you?" The Ninth Prince and his gang finally discovered that something was wrong with Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen was covered in thorns today.
"A lot of people have annoyed me. Nanling Jinfan asked me to compete with Su Rou in the next two days. Fu Lin threatened me with the place where my parents were buried. That bastard Ye Ye hasn't come to kowtow to my parents yet." Feng Qingchen would never admit that she was complaining. She just found someone to talk to.
It turned out to be these things. The Ninth Prince was relieved: "Don't worry about Nanling Jinfan. I have already rejected him for you. The Crown Prince will handle this matter. You don't have to worry about it. By the way, Zhou Xing will come to Dongling tomorrow. You can ask Zhou Xing to keep an eye on Nanling Jinfan and don't let him bite people everywhere."
Well, the Ninth Uncle was a little relieved that Feng Qingchen finally remembered to tell him about her troubles. Although they were not big deals, it was better than saying nothing.
"Zhou Xing? You mean Nanling Jinxing?" Feng Qingchen laughed at herself. She thought Zhou Xing was a good kid, but it turned out that he was a completely impossible guy. He completely forgot about her as soon as he ran back to Nanling and didn't even send her a message. If the Ninth Prince hadn't told her, she would have thought Zhou Xing was dead.
"Well, you took advantage of him by letting him call you sister." If it weren't for this, he would not have helped Nanling Jinxing.
"The prince of Nanling calls me sister. I am really getting a great advantage." Feng Qingchen said self-deprecatingly.
Did she really think she loved being the prince's sister? Zhou Xing was such a good kid, but when he returned to Nanling... it was like a fish jumping into the sea, with no news at all. It was not until the Ninth Prince told her that she knew Zhou Xing was Nanling Jinxing.
What a heartless person! I wonder if that young doctor Sixing will remember her master after she passes away.
Suddenly, Feng Qingchen felt very lonely. It turned out that she had no relatives around her, and everyone around her would leave her one by one.
Everyone said that she was protecting Sun Sixing, but they didn't know that she couldn't live without Sun Sixing. Sun Sixing was the one who always stayed with her. She needed a family, someone she could trust wholeheartedly, and Sun Sixing was the family she wanted.
When Feng Qingchen thought about the young doctor Sixing leaving soon, he felt uncomfortable and as if he had been abandoned.
She is alone again!
Feng Qingchen is very strong, so strong that people forget that she is a woman, but sometimes she is like a child, very fragile. At this moment, Feng Qingchen showed her fragility.
The Ninth Prince patted Feng Qingchen's head distressedly and silently comforted him, "He is a prince now, and he has his own responsibilities."
"I don't blame him. He is the Prince of Nanling. What right do I have to blame him?" Feng Qingchen smiled, but it was uglier than crying.
"Don't laugh when you don't want to laugh. No one will laugh at you." This was not the first time he said this to Feng Qingchen, but Feng Qingchen always forgot it after hearing it. Even if he nodded in agreement, he would forget it as soon as he turned around and still did what he was supposed to do.
This time was the same. Feng Qingchen responded without objection and then changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about Zhou Xing, no, let's talk about Nanling Jinxing. Let's talk about Fu Lin. What do you think of this person? Do you want to talk to him? If you don't want to, I will reject him."
Feng Qingchen cheered up and got down to business. No matter whether it was Zhou Xing or Sun Sixing, they would leave. They had their own lives and could not accompany her forever. Maybe she should have a child, Feng Qingchen thought...
"Talk. If he wants to talk, then let him come to the Ninth Prince's Mansion tomorrow." Fu Lin was a half-baked charlatan, and the Ninth Prince's uncle also wanted to know what he wanted to talk about.
Fu Lin wouldn't think that their conversation could be made public.
Talk? It was just a waste of effort. He didn't want to see Fu Lin because he didn't want to waste time. He didn't expect Fu Lin to find Feng Qingchen. He didn't know whether to say he was smart or stupid.
"Okay, I'll tell him. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." This time it wasn't a joke, but a normal farewell.
"Come here." The Ninth Prince did not agree, but waved at Feng Qingchen.
"What's up?" Feng Qingchen really went forward cooperatively this time. She thought the Ninth Prince had something important to do, but she didn't expect...
The Ninth Prince suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled, causing Feng Qingchen to stumble and fall directly into the Ninth Prince's suspicion. Just as Feng Qingchen was about to break free, the Ninth Prince increased his strength and said, "Don't move."
He just wanted to hug Feng Qingchen and let Feng Qingchen know that even if everyone had left, he was still by her side. He felt distressed by Feng Qingchen's loneliness just now.
Hmm... Feng Qingchen was indeed obedient and did not move. She found a comfortable position and nestled in the arms of the Ninth Prince.
Somehow, the closer it got to the time when her parents were buried, the more uneasy and irritated she felt, as if, as if... she had really been abandoned.
She felt empty inside, and the hug from the Ninth Prince was exactly what she needed...
The Ninth Prince hugged Feng Qingchen tightly. Noticing that Feng Qingchen's emotions were gradually calming down, he whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, everything will pass."
"Um."
"You don't need to be on guard against Fu Lin. His goal is to get the Fu family back to the Kyushu Continent. He won't be that bad. Just be careful when interacting with him."
In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, Fu Lin is also a pitiful man, a person who has lost his self due to the burden of the family. Of course, no matter how pitiful he is, he still has to take action when it is time to do so.
There is no one in this world who is not pitiful. He just doesn't have that much sympathy.
"Um."
Feng Qingchen didn't say anything else except "hmm".
In fact, she was disgusted with Fu Lin from the bottom of her heart, and Fu Lin had taken advantage of her more than once.
"As for Nanling Jinxing, it's up to you. If you're willing, then recognize him. If not, then treat him as a strange prince. The Zhou Xing you knew is already dead."
Um……
“…”
The two of them hugged each other quietly. One of them changed from her usual reticence and kept mumbling, while the other changed from her usual sharpness and cooperated docilely. The scene of the two of them hugging each other was as beautiful as a painting...
