Chapter 108: Every Request Will Be Granted
When Xu Ying heard Mrs. Lu say to send the guests away, she was completely stunned. Her head was buzzing and there was only a blank.
Chen Ning is the village chief?
When did that bitch become the county queen?
Madam Lu wanted to kick her out... If she was kicked out like this, she would lose all face and become a laughing stock among others.
Mrs. Lu is so ruthless, her marriage with Mr. Lu is definitely over.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
At this moment, Xu Ying suddenly caught a flash of gloating in Shen Ning's eyes, and almost in an instant she suddenly realized something.
Shen Ning did it on purpose!
In the past, even if she spoke rudely and provoked her repeatedly, Shen Ning would often endure it. But when they met just now, she didn't want to make trouble and ignored it, but it was this bitch who took the initiative to provoke her.
She did it on purpose, deliberately trying to provoke her anger, and then pretended to sit in the wrong seat to provoke her.
"You did it on purpose! You bitch, you..."
"Drag him out!" Mrs. Lu was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing.
Madam Xu Er didn't bother to ask about the cause and effect. Seeing that Madam Lu was very angry, she quickly asked Xu Ya to drag Xu Ying out: "Your sister is not feeling well today. Take her back to rest."
Xu Ya hurriedly tried to pull her away, but was slapped in the face by Xu Ying.
Mrs. Lu suddenly became even more shocked and angry.
Such a woman was almost chosen by her to be her son's wife. Fortunately, it was not too late. Fortunately.
Xu Ying was forcibly "asked" to leave. Xu Ya followed her with her head down, covering her face. Li Yushi hesitated for a moment, turned around and followed her out, comforting Xu Ying in a low voice.
Mrs. Xu was not in a position to leave immediately, so she reluctantly sat down and exchanged some awkward greetings before making an excuse to leave early.
After the Xu family left, the atmosphere at the table immediately returned to normal. If there was any difference, it was that those originally arrogant ladies and daughters suddenly became very enthusiastic towards Shen Ning.
Not only did he call him "Xiangjun" all the time, but his words were full of flattery.
Shen Ning also behaved very politely and modestly, without any arrogance, and gave enough face to Madam Lu, the new wife of the county magistrate.
After the banquet, both the guests and the hosts were very happy.
When it got dark, the banquet ended and everyone went home.
After all, it is Mid-Autumn Festival night, and most people want to spend it with their families.
Chen Ning was also preparing to go home... Although Xiao Nanchen had said before that he would come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, a war broke out in Xinzhou last night, and there must be a lot of post-war work to be done after the war, so he probably wouldn't be able to come back today.
The carriage was about to head towards Yongping Lane, but it stopped again.
Eryue's voice rang out from outside: "Master, it's Master Xu San."
Qi Yue turned her head and looked over. Shen Ning sighed and could only resign herself to her fate and got out of the car and walked over: "Third Master, is there something wrong?"
Xu Zhiyi opened the car curtain, looked her up and down, and then said, "Get in."
"I want to go home. My family is waiting for me to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Xu Zhiyi slowly leaned back, with a half-smile on his face: "I have something to tell you, something that concerns you."
Shen Ning paused for a moment, then nodded: “Okay.”
She turned back to her car and told Eryue and Qiyue to go back first: "If Anan comes back, have someone tell me."
February hesitated: "Shouldn't I follow?"
Shen Ning smiled and shook her head: "It's okay."
Xu Zhiyi is there, there must be someone around him, and after what happened last time, there must be quite a few people around him.
Moreover, Xiao Nanchen's people are secretly involved.
"You guys go back and celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together. I'll try to go home early."
After February and July left, Shen Ning walked to Xu Zhiyi's car, lifted her skirt and climbed in.
Xu Zhiyi looked away, speechless: "Could you be a little more ladylike when you get in the car?"
Shen Ning:?
No, bro, what does this have to do with you?
Of course you can't say that.
The carriage drove towards the main street. There were more and more lanterns around and the voices became louder and louder.
The war in Xinzhou was going smoothly, or perhaps people wanted to feel the lively atmosphere after the shock, so the streets were crowded with people, and there was a constant stream of people in front of the lantern stalls everywhere.
The carriage could no longer move forward, so Shen Ning and Xu Zhiyi got off. The attendants brought a wheelchair, placed Xu Zhiyi on it, and then stepped away.
Shen Ning and Xu Zhiyi stared at each other for a moment, and Xu Zhiyi asked her: "Do you think my wheelchair can move forward by itself?"
Shen Ning sighed and walked over to push his wheelchair.
Xu Zhiyi snorted and laughed: "How tactless."
Shen Ning couldn't help but said, "Third Master, to be fair, I'm not your servant, am I right?"
Xu Zhiyi uttered an "oh," "You're just crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. Now that you've got the title of Xiangjun, you don't need me anymore, right?"
Shen Ning reminded him: “That was exchanged for the Thunderbolt Bomb recipe.”
Xu Zhiyi sneered: "I could have just robbed it."
Shen Ning was amazed: "It turns out that robbery can be justified so confidently..."
"No way, I have this ability."
Xu Zhiyi snorted and turned to look at her: "So you'd better be a good boy and don't make me angry, otherwise, I don't mind showing you what it means to bully others by taking advantage of your power."
Shen Ning was speechless and sighed: "Third Master, it's not fun to go shopping with a partner who threatens and intimidates like this, right?"
Xu Zhiyi curled his lips and smiled, not caring at all: "As long as I find it interesting, that's all."
Okay, I'm completely convinced.
Shen Ning originally thought that this person couldn't walk by himself, and that visiting the lanterns was just a way for him to look at them, but she didn't expect that he was such a troublemaker.
Whenever she encountered a lantern riddle, she would instruct her: "Go and win back the mouse lantern."
Shen Ning suggested seriously: "That one doesn't look good, how about choosing the rabbit one?"
Xu Zhiyi smiled: "No, mainly because I think that mouse looks like you."
Shen Ning: ...?
Although she couldn't go on strike, she could slack off. She was very perfunctory and showed great acting talent for the riddles hanging above.
"I can't understand, I can't guess, I can't imagine, I don't understand..."
She smiled innocently at Xu Zhiyi: "I'm just a country woman, how could I understand riddles?"
Xu Zhiyi's mouth twitched slightly, and he could only go forward by himself. Then, the riddles that were originally hanging on the lanterns were solved one by one and pulled down.
The stall owner came forward with a bitter smile and a bow, "Sir, this is a small business, so I'll keep a job. Which lamp do you like? I'll give it to you, okay?"
Shen Ning was about to point at the mouse, but saw Xu Zhiyi raise his hand and point at the red-eyed rabbit: "Let's take this one."
"Okay, here's the red-eyed rabbit lantern. Please take it, Madam."
Shen Ning quickly said: "I'm not..."
Xu Zhiyi curled his lips and threw a silver ingot over: "Thank you."
The stall owner, who had originally had a sad face, suddenly smiled and bowed repeatedly: "You two look like fairies from heaven, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. I wish you two a long and happy life together."
Xu Zhiyi had already thanked him with a smile, so Chen Ning just pretended to be deaf.
Third Master Xu was dissatisfied: "I don't even feel that you are taking advantage of me, so you should just be happy."
Shen Ning: ...
But this was not the end. When they reached the foot of East Third Bridge, Xu Zhiyi instructed her: "Go and light a lantern to pray for me."
Shen Ning took a deep breath: "What does the Third Master want to pray for?"
Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "Just pray that my leg heals quickly so I can stand up soon..."
Shen Ning sighed resignedly: "Yes."
Didn’t this person say he was going back to Beijing? Why hasn’t he left yet? I can’t stand it anymore!
She bought a lantern from the side, thought about it, bought another one, and then walked down the steps to the water's edge under the bridge.
There were already many lanterns released by people in the water, and all kinds of lanterns were floating away into the distance along the shimmering water.
She was reluctant at first, but when she squatted down by the water, looking at the dense lanterns on the water and the pious and joyful looks of the people around her, she was inexplicably touched.
Shen Ning slowly placed the two lanterns into the water, then closed her eyes and prayed silently. The next moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind her: "What wish did you make for the second lantern?"
Xu Zhiyi, how did he get down?
Chen Ning was so startled that she almost slipped. She stood up and turned around, and saw the man standing very close behind her with a smile on his face, holding the red-eyed rabbit lantern. His luxurious purple robe was reflected by the sparkling water, and his face was even more illuminated by the devilish light.
"Why, are you scared?"
Successfully shocking Shen Ning seemed to make him very happy: "You made a wish for me to stand up, and I stood up. How about that? Does it mean that whatever you wish for will be granted?"
Coming back to his senses, Shen Ning sighed: "Is this what the Third Master said about me?"
"Well, smart, your patient recovered. Isn't it related to you?"
Xu Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, looking as if it was a matter of course.
Shen Ning nodded: "Yes, yes, it's related."
Xu Zhiyi asked again: "What wish did you make with the second lamp?"
Shen Ning was silent for a moment, then coughed lightly: "I make a wish... to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment."
Xu Zhiyi was a little stunned, and Shen Ning suddenly regretted telling him this. After all, how could a young man like Mr. Xu Sanye, who lived a life of luxury, know what "the people live and work in peace and contentment" meant.
She said helplessly: "I know you think I'm being pretentious and funny, laugh if you want to."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Zhiyi raised his hand and flicked it on his forehead: "I'm in a good mood today, and my second wish will be granted."
Shen Ning was helpless: "You think you are a god or Buddha, Master San..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Ning was suddenly stunned. She saw a figure standing on the bridge behind Xu Zhiyi, looking at him intently.
It turned out to be Xiao Nanchen.
He actually came back?
Shen Ning was about to speak when she suddenly remembered that Xu Zhiyi was still here. At this moment, she saw Xiao Nanchen take a step towards her, then suddenly stopped and turned away.
Shen Ning was a little strange.
Why does he look a little ferocious... as if she had done something wrong and he wanted to strangle her to death.
"It's almost time, Third Master. I want to go home."
Shen Ning walked to the side and prepared to go up and leave: "I have to go back and spend the holidays with my family."
Behind her, Xu Zhiyi didn't seem to move, but he was finally willing to let her go.
"I'll have someone take you back..."
