Chapter 188 Extra: Liu Mingan x Jiang Ning (Part 1)



Chapter 188 Extra: Liu Ming'an x Jiang Ning (I)

After learning that Nangong Muyan was pregnant with Zhou Yi's child, Jiang Ning was thinking on the way to Fuling Temple that she and Liu Ming'an would have children in the future.

But she didn't want to be a mother so early. She was only seventeen and Liu Ming'an was only twenty. They didn't have enough time together.

Later, Yuwen Jin forced the emperor to abdicate. Jiang Ning entered the imperial city for Liu Ming'an. After the rebellion was quelled and the world was peaceful, she told Liu Ming'an her thoughts.

Liu Mingan was immediately aggrieved: "An Ning, you don't want me to touch you anymore?"

"No, no," Jiang Ning explained hurriedly: "I just don't want to have a baby yet."

"Then do you plan to drink contraceptive soup afterwards?" Liu Mingan thought of this possibility and immediately advised: "An Ning, medicine is three-point poison, if you think so, I would rather not touch you."

"Not really," Jiang Ning leaned over and kissed her, and briefly explained the knowledge about ovulation and safe period: "There are a few days in a month when women are particularly easy to get pregnant, as long as we avoid those days."

Although safe period contraception is not very reliable, it is also the best contraceptive method in this era. If you are pregnant, then give birth. Liu

Ming'an finally felt relieved, held her in his arms and kissed her, then whispered, "Is it okay today?"

Jiang Ning calculated in her mind, nodded with a red face, and was picked up and put on the bed the next moment.

"Liu Ming'an, it's not dark yet!"

Jiang Ning struggled to remember, and suddenly her eyes went dark. A hand covered her eyes, and a gentle whisper came to her ear: "A Ning, it will be dark if you close your eyes."

What's the difference between this and covering one's ears to steal a bell?

Jiang Ning didn't know what to say for a moment, but soon she didn't have the heart to think about these things, and just concentrated on enduring the enthusiasm given by Liu Ming'an.

When she was confused and lost in passion, Jiang Ning vaguely heard Liu Ming'an's heavy breathing: "Aning, I thought I would die in the Palace of Taiji and would never see you again..."

After the words fell, the hand that was pinching her waist became a little stronger. Jiang Ning tried to blink, and the mist in her eyes caused by lust dissipated a little. She saw the fear in Liu Ming'an's eyes.

"Liu Ming'an," Jiang Ning hugged the person tighter, and said firmly, "I said I would protect you, don't be afraid, I will protect you in the future."

"A Ning..."

A lustful call came out from the swaying bed, and Jiang Ning could no longer speak a complete sentence. Her lips kept flowing out of broken moans, which were blocked by the lips and tongue of another person...

In this way, the two of them lived a regular life of being forced to be celibate for half a month and indulge in love for half a month in order to prevent pregnancy.

At that time, Yuwen Yan had not yet ascended the throne, and Liu Ming'an's examination was postponed to April 20th due to the national mourning.

The two of them lived a leisurely life in the courtyard of Wandong Road. Because of the change of dynasties, all the officials in the capital were busy, and the Lou family and the Prime Minister's Mansion never came to disturb them again. Everything seemed to have returned to the time when they were in Lingshan Town.

Until this day at the end of March, Lou Lianyu came to knock on the door with red eyes, looking at Liu Ming'an with pleading eyes: "Grandmother only has one last breath left, Ming'an, she wants to see you."

Liu Ming'an was stunned in place, and the figure of the skinny old man with silver hair flashed through his mind.

"How could it be..." Liu Ming'an couldn't believe it. Not long ago, she was still pulling her sleeve and calling Qingzhi. How could she come to the end of her life after such a short time?

Lou Lianyu knew what Liu Ming'an was wondering about, and he held back his tears and said, "She was awake the last time she saw you. She went to ask Grandpa and learned about the death of her second uncle. Since that day, she has been silent, not eating or drinking, and has relied on medicine to stay alive."

Liu Ming'an's eyes flashed. He went in and out of the Lou family every day, but he didn't know that there was such a thing.

"She is now in her last moments, and she is struggling to support herself for the obsession in her heart. Ming'an, I beg you to go see her..."

Liu Ming'an was confused for a while, and two emotions were pulling at each other.

To be fair, the Lou family has done their best to treat him, and everyone is trying their best to make up for the debt they owed to Liu Qingzhi. Liu Ming'an should not refuse the request of a dying person out of emotion and reason.

But on the other hand, when Liu Ming'an thought of this "grandmother", he would always remember how she used words of persecution to drive his father away more than 20 years ago. Liu Qingzhi's position in his heart was irreplaceable, so Liu Ming'an could never forgive her.

Liu Ming'an didn't know what to do. He turned around blankly. Jiang Ning stood behind him, with a faint smile on her lips and a soft light in her eyes.

"Ming'an, when a person is about to die, his right and wrong will also be burned to ashes..."

Lou Lianyu wanted to say something more, but Liu Ming'an turned and walked towards Jiang Ning, holding her hand: "A Ning, please go with me."

He and the Lou family should have a conclusion, and he should also listen to the confession before his death. At least when he stands in front of Liu Qingzhi's grave in the future, he can tell him that his mother spent half her life regretting, and the undeserved disaster he suffered in those years will be repaid in the dark.

Jiang Ning nodded, held Liu Ming'an's hand tightly, and walked into the Lou family with him.

Wang Lanzhi's situation was worse than Jiang Ning and Liu Ming'an thought.

The person in front of him had almost no flesh on her body. She was wrapped in empty clothes like a skeleton. Her face was pale and bloodless. However, her eyes were brighter than those of a normal person. She stared at the door with her lips moving silently, calling out the names "Qingzhi" and "Ming'an".

The people in the building gathered around her, tears in their eyes. Low sobs echoed in the house. Lou Yuhuan held her dead tree-like hand and kept calling "Lanzhi", "Lanzhi".

When Liu Ming'an walked in with Jiang Ning, everyone in the room turned to look at them.

"Lanzhi, Ming'an is here, Ming'an is here!"

Lou Yuhuan said anxiously, stood up and pulled Liu Ming'an in front of her, then stepped aside and stood still.

Liu Mingan looked at Wang Lanzhi like this, and he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

This was his nature. Even if this person had nothing to do with him, a life was slowly passing away before his eyes, and Liu Mingan could not help but be soft-hearted.

"Grandma."

Liu Mingan squatted down beside Wang Lanzhi, grabbed the hand that was trying hard to raise, and looked up at her: "I'm coming."

"Qing... Zhi..."

The hoarse voice squeezed out of the throat, more like a breath, if Liu Mingan hadn't been close, he would have almost been unable to hear it.

Wang Lanzhi rolled her eyes with difficulty and looked at Liu Ming'an. The sadness in her eyes was as real as substance: "Ming...an..."

Liu Ming'an nodded and held her hand tighter. His voice was as gentle as ever: "Grandma, it's me. I'm Liu Ming'an, the son of Liu Qingzhi."

Two lines of tears suddenly rolled down. Wang Lanzhi opened her mouth and uttered word by word that had been pent up in her heart for half a lifetime: "I'm...sorry..." As

soon as the words fell, the strength that supported her suddenly dissipated. She tilted her head to one side and closed her eyes forever.

"Great-grandmother!"

A little boy of seven or eight years old broke away from his mother's hand, pushed Liu Ming'an aside, and cried into Wang Lanzhi 's arms,

sobbing : "Great-grandmother, don't sleep, great- grandmother, wake up, sob ... Jiang Ning nodded, and the two turned around to leave, but were stopped by Lou Yuhuan: "Ming'an, I plan to cremate your grandmother's body." Daliang emphasizes being buried in peace, and Liu Ming'an frowned, feeling strange. "Why?" he asked. Lou Yuhuan stared into Liu Ming'an's eyes and told him his plan: "I plan to take her to Lotus Village and scatter her ashes on the green hill where Qingzhi was buried." Liu Ming'an lowered his eyes and remained silent. "Ming'an, come back with us after you finish your exams. I want to see the place where Qingzhi married and had children. I think your grandmother should think so too..." Lou Yuhuan did not notice Liu Ming'an's expression and spoke to himself until the young man in front of him suddenly looked at him and called him "Old Master". Lou Yuhuan stopped talking, this title made him panic. Liu Ming'an took a deep breath and made a decision: "Old Master, my last name is Liu, and my father's last name is also Liu." Lou Yuhuan's body swayed and he took a few steps back. "Ming'an!" Lou Baili looked at his father who was about to fall, and hurried over to support him. Liu Ming'an bowed to them and said solemnly: "Don't ask when you will return, I will bury my bones in the green mountains! Please don't disturb my father again." After Liu Ming'an finished speaking, he no longer cared about the reactions of the people in the room, and took Jiang Ning away. When they returned to the courtyard of Wandong Road, as soon as they entered the door, Jiang Ning was pulled into Liu Ming'an's arms and hugged tightly before she could say anything. "Aning, when we have a child in the future, we must teach him well." Liu Ming'an's voice was very low. Jiang Ning sighed, hugged him back, and comforted him clumsily: "Yes, Liu Ming'an, you will be a good father." Their children will definitely not have the tragedy of the Lou family. "A Ning, let's go back to Lotus Village after the wedding. I want to tell them all these things..." "Okay." "I also want to see my uncle's wife, uncle, and aunt Hui. I left Taicang in a hurry last time, so I have to say goodbye properly this time." "Okay." After making the agreement, time passed like water. In the following months, many things happened. The new emperor ascended the throne, Jiang Ning became Princess Hening, and completely cut off contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion; Liu Ming'an lived up to expectations and passed the imperial examination. The emperor gave them a marriage and made him a prince consort... A few days before the wedding, Jiang Ning persuaded Lan Xu to move into the princess's mansion. The housekeepers, maids, and guards in the mansion all knew that this was the princess's biological mother, but they didn't know how to call her. Generally, the mother of a princess is a lady in the palace, but Jiang Ning was born a commoner and was given the royal surname. Lan Xu had never married in her life, so it was obviously inappropriate to call her "old lady", but there was no other honorific title that was suitable. In the end, it was Lan Xu herself who said, "Just call me Aunt Lan!" and solved this thorny problem. The nuns of Fuling Temple made a wedding dress and embroidered shoes for Jiang Ning, and Lan Xu also made a head covering for her. On the day of the wedding, she watched Liu Ming'an and Jiang Ning bow to her with the shouts of "Bow to your parents twice", and she could no longer control her tears. Her Ling'er got married, married her sweetheart beautifully, and had a very noble status, and would never be bullied again. After the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, Lan Xu stood up and walked to an empty corridor, intending to cry her heart out, but she never expected that Nangong Ya followed her. "Did you ask her to break up with me?" Nangong Ya looked at the woman in front of him, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked in a deep voice. He actually didn't remember what she looked like. It had been too long, and he never wanted to think about that absurd night. This woman who had a romantic relationship with him had long been forgotten by him. Until today, when his daughter got married, he, as a father, could only attend as a minister. The so-called biological mother of the princess was sitting in the hall where he should have had a seat. He suddenly remembered that there was such a person. The appearance of Lan Xu made Nangong Ya dazed for a moment, and then one question after another came to his mind. How did Ling'er find her? When did they meet? Is Ling'er's sudden change in personality related to her mother? Nangong Ya stared at Lan Xu straight, wanting to get an answer. Lan Xu wiped away her tears when she heard the question, pulled the corners of her lips and smiled a little sarcastically: "Prime Minister, are you here to call me to task?" Looking at the man in front of her, it would be a lie for Lan Xu to say that she did not resent him. She was an innocent girl, but her life was ruined because of a conspiracy. She finally had a daughter who wanted to depend on her, but fate played a trick on her and separated the mother and daughter. She originally thought that it would be nice for her child to be a worry-free lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Ling'er said that she wanted to cut off ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although Jiang Ning never said that she had been wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Xu knew that if she had not been unhappy in that place, how could she have decided to do so? Thinking of this, Lan Xu's attitude was not very friendly. She looked directly at Nangong Ya and asked instead of answering: "Why did Ling'er break off relations with the Prime Minister's Mansion? You should know better than me, right? I gave the child to you, but you didn't treat her well. You still have the nerve to ask me?"

"I have never treated her badly!" Nangong Ya hurriedly explained: "She is my daughter. Even if she is not the one I expected, she is still my daughter. From childhood to adulthood, she will have everything that my other daughter has. I have a clear conscience about this!"

"Hehe", Lan Xu laughed sarcastically, too lazy to waste any more words, and just said: "If you have a clear conscience, then you have a clear conscience. Anyway, there will be Lan Ling, Jiang Ning, and Yu Wen Ning in this world from now on, but there will no longer be Nangong Ling."

Lan Xu turned around and left. Such a happy day cannot be ruined by irrelevant people.

The next morning after the wedding night, they will eat glutinous rice balls. She has to go and see if the fillings are ready.
