Chapter 720: Infatuated Man

Xue's brows relaxed, and after thinking for a while, she understood Yang's intention. "Is that so? What a coincidence! My husband's cousin has a girl of the right age. She is sixteen years old this year, has read some books, and has good looks and good conduct."

Zhu Lan asked, "Why aren't you engaged at the age of sixteen?"

There are girls of this age who are unmarried, but very few are unengaged.

Xue explained, "My husband's cousin died early, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. This cousin's sister is too soft-hearted to take care of the family. The cousin has four children, two girls and two sons. The two older girls are the head of the family, and the eldest daughter didn't get married until she was seventeen. The one I'm talking about also has to wait until she's seventeen, so she's never been engaged."

Zhulan understood that the two girls were worried about their family. "You are sixteen this year, and seventeen next year. How old are your two brothers this year?"

"The older one is fourteen this year, and the younger one is twelve. It's not easy for these two girls, who have been waiting for their two younger brothers to grow up."

Zhulan was satisfied to hear that Xue knew so much about the family's situation and had obviously helped a lot. Wu Yong's personality was suitable for a wife who could take care of things, and since Xue could say she was good, the girl must be good. However, she still had to meet her.

"My girl is not in Jinzhou. It's not easy for her to come to Jinzhou City, right?"

When Xue heard that this was a good thing, she smiled and said, "The two little ones are studying in the academy in the city. She comes to visit every month. This is also a coincidence. In two days, it will be another month."

Zhulan analyzed the information she had heard. The two boys were studying together in the state capital. This family had a lot of financial resources. She smiled and said, "It's indeed a coincidence. I'll come back in two days."

Xue knew that this matter was still unclear, and she couldn't bring anyone to Zhou's house, "Okay."

In the capital, at the imperial palace, the emperor signaled everyone except the crown prince to leave. After everyone left, the emperor asked, "Are you here for Rongchuan's matter?"

Ning Xu, "Yes."

The emperor said with some emotion, "If you count carefully, you have been faking your death for nearly twenty years. Before the establishment of the dynasty, you first sneaked into the capital and worked secretly. After the establishment of the dynasty, in order to stabilize the government, you continued to hide in the capital. Until the government was stabilized, I sent you abroad again."

Over the years, he always remembered what Ning Wei had helped him with and how many dangers Ning Wei had experienced, so he acquiesced to Ning Wei's hiding of the money, and also felt guilty for Ning Wei's lack of offspring.

Ning Xu never forgot the days of hiding. At that time, the emperor trusted the Ning family the most. Among the three brothers of the Ning family, he was smart and courageous. He took over his eldest brother's position to stay by the emperor's side. With his eldest brother's teachings, he would not show his face easily. As time went by, many people blurred his appearance. In the end, he naturally took on the task of faking death and hiding.

Ning Xu calmed down and said, "These are what I should do."

He never regretted it. His suffering was not for himself, but for the inheritance and honor of the entire Ning family and for his sister.

The emperor hummed, "When you sneaked into the capital, you also mingled in many fireworks places."

Ning Xu blushed. Well, he was a normal man when he inquired about the news. His eyes widened quickly and he guessed what the emperor was thinking. Ah, Rongchuan became the illegitimate son of his fleeting relationship?

Then he realized that something was wrong. "Your Majesty, it was a maid who took Rongchuan away. Maids are not something that ordinary families can have. Even if the Zhang family is under control and no one in Zhou Village knows Rongchuan's background, the Zhou family must have known about it. This is not easy to explain."

The emperor glared. He would never arrange a mother from the fireworks land for his son, even if she was fake. "I haven't finished. What I mean is that you are a normal man. You met a close friend in the capital. It's just that the matter was exposed. The woman had just given birth, and the woman stole the child. The child happened to be rescued by the Zhang family."

Ning Xu's mouth twitched. Just a few words from the emperor had made him a sentimental person?

No, this really wasn't him. He had had women over the years, some of whom he admired reluctantly, but he had no ability to show love to women. He even kept a mistress secretly. This wasn't him!

Your Majesty, "Although the arrangements for the background are still not strict, people are willing to make associations, and you don't need to explain it too clearly, they will naturally fill in the gaps. I have arranged everything for this woman and the old woman. The woman lost the baby during childbirth and died of hemorrhage without anyone to take care of her. You found the old woman and killed her."

A lot of things happened back then and many spies died. He took great pains to find the right person, and Rongchuan's good looks added to his credibility.

Ning Xu recalled it carefully, and there were still many loopholes, such as why the old woman stole the child and killed the child, but some loopholes seemed more real. If it was too serious, it would seem fake. Few people knew that he didn't marry because of his health problems. Well, when he recognizes Rongchuan, he will become the most infatuated man in the capital!

Ning Xu, "Your Majesty, when is the right time for me to take Rong Chuan back?"

The emperor knew it was fake, but he felt bad. It was not pleasant for his son to call someone else "father". "Ah, when the time comes, I will tell you."

Peace of mind, "......."

He felt jealous. Ah, what a nice weather today!

On the second day, in Jinzhou, Zhulan had already received the information that Mrs. Song had found out. She did not ask Mrs. Song to check on the girl from the Wang family. She only checked the conduct of the two boys from the Wang family in the academy.

The Wang family has two boys. The older one is called Wang Ke and the younger one is called Wang Cheng. Both boys study very hard, and the older one can also take care of the younger one. The two brothers are very independent.

Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. The two boys' independence meant that the Wang family's daughter did not spoil her younger brothers.

Just waiting for Wang Ling to arrive.

The next day after Wang Ling arrived, Zhulan prepared to go to Wang's house. It rained heavily in the morning after not raining for many days. The raindrops formed a line and the puddles were filled with rain water visibly to the naked eye.

Xue Han looked at the rain outside and saw no sign of stopping. "Mom, it won't stop anytime soon. Are we still going to Wang's house today?"

Zhulan looked at the sky and said, "It's raining so hard, it should stop soon."

Xue Han sat by the window, catching the rain with her hands. "My daughter doesn't want the rain to stop. It's been very hot and dry these days. The water level in the lake in the garden has dropped a lot, and many fish have died!"

Zhulan also doesn't want the rain to stop. The whole village is waiting for the rain!

It’s a pity that it was just a sudden rain and it stopped in a cup of tea.

Xue Han went to the yard and came back soon, "The rain has stopped, but a lot of rain has fallen, but the ground is still not wet."

Zhulan said, "It's still cloudy today. It might rain again soon. It's getting late. Let's hurry to Wang's house."

"Um."

At the Wang family, Xue said, "I thought you wouldn't come given the weather today!"

Zhulan smiled and said, "If I hadn't come, I would have sent someone to let you know. You must have waited a long time!"

"I'm at home, so it's okay to wait a while, but you came out on such a rainy day and your skirt is soaked."

Zhulan sat down and said, "It rained so fast that there were many puddles. My skirt got a little wet, but luckily it's not a problem."

Xue had already asked her maid to make ginger tea, "Drink some ginger tea later to get rid of the cold."

Zhulan, "Okay."

When Xue saw Yang looking at Wang Ling, she smiled and said, "Look, I'm just talking to you. This is my niece, Wang Ling. Come over here and meet Madam Yang."
