Ning Ze had noticed Prince Heng from a long time ago. At that time, he had not yet left the palace to build a palace. He was just a prince whose biological mother died young and was not favored.
At that time, there were many princes in the harem, but later, gradually there were only a few left. He was able to live and grow up, and was even named a prince, occupying a place in the court. Regardless of his means and temperament, he was beyond the reach of others. So Ning Ze knew very well that such a man would never be trapped by a woman.
And if Ning Ziruo had been pampered since she was a child, she was destined to never want another woman to appear next to her future husband-in-law. If the two collide, there will only be one end.
Prince Heng will not change for a woman, so the one who will be changed in the end will be Ning Ziruo. If she is smart enough, she can learn how to be a qualified princess from now on. If she is not smart enough, she will only suffer more. Maybe she will be able to learn well one day, but maybe she will not be able to learn it in her whole life.
Ning Ze wanted to give her a few words of advice, but when the words came to his lips, he did not say them out.
The pomegranate tree in the yard is growing really well. It will definitely bear a lot of fruit this year. In his memory, there is also such a tree, and there is a little girl under the tree.
But later, the tree disappeared and the girl disappeared. In the past twenty years, it was not that he had not investigated the hidden secrets of the Xue family's genocide, but every time he found out the key points, someone always blocked it. Later, all the evidence was gone, but he already had a vague answer in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't resent the Ning family, it's just that he can't abandon this surname and has to seek benefits for the family. He has done everything he needs to do, and there may be no need to say more.
Ning Ziruo didn't notice Ning Ze's hesitation, she was completely immersed in the joy of meeting Prince Heng. When Ning Ze left, he looked at her deeply, as if he could predict the ending of his niece.
Ever since Ning Ze left Prince Heng's Mansion, Shen Guiye's face had not looked good. For a woman who tried to control him, keeping her alive until now was considered a grace. If it wasn't still useful, he wouldn't even give Ning Ze face.
Early the next morning, before it was bright, Ning Ziruo got up. After spending a long time in the wardrobe, I finally chose a white skirt embroidered with dark lily patterns, covered with a translucent light skirt.
The gauze, the faint red mark between her eyebrows made her wear this outfit a bit out of place.
When Ning Ze came to pick her up, he couldn't help but frown when he saw her clothes. But after all, he was just an uncle and couldn't find fault with his niece's dress, so he could only keep silent.
Ning Ziruo didn't pay so much attention. She was filled with the joy of meeting Prince Heng and hurriedly got into the carriage with Ning Ze. Ning Xing stood at the door with some disappointment, looking at the direction the carriage was leaving.
Last time, the eldest sister said she would take him with her, but today she suddenly regretted it.
Ning Xing scratched his head, turned around and walked back. Just as he was about to close the courtyard door, he suddenly saw a girl carrying a bamboo basket not far away who tripped on a stone on the ground. The whole basket flew up, and she was also embarrassed. He fell to the ground.
It was also a coincidence that the basket hit Ning Xing right in front of him.
He picked up the empty basket on the ground, walked quickly to the girl, looked at the girl lying on the ground, and asked with some worry: "Girl, are you okay?"
The girl frowned her beautiful eyebrows in embarrassment and said softly, "Brother, please help me, I seem to have sprained my foot."
Ning Xing didn't hesitate after hearing this, and stepped forward to help her up. The girl stood up leaning on Ning Xing, and couldn't help but scream in pain as soon as her feet landed on the ground.
"Girl, shall I take you to see the doctor?"
"No, my foot is just dislocated. I'll just ask a bone-setter when I get back."
Ning Xing shook his head when he heard this, "You are like this, can you still leave? Otherwise... otherwise I will pick you up."
"Ah? Do you know how?"
Ning Xing smiled, "I used to learn martial arts, and I often dislocated my joints. I did it myself. If you don't mind, go to my house first. My house is over there."
The girl hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I wonder what I call this little brother?"
"My surname is Ning, Ning Xing. Where are you, miss?"
"My name is Bai Zhi."
Ning Xing helped Bai Zhi into the Ning family's yard. Not long after, Ning Xing sent the person out. When the person left, his eyes had not returned.
After a while, he closed the courtyard door, returned to his room and fell on his chest. Thinking of the white and tender calves he had just seen and the smooth touch, he felt as if
There is a fire burning.
The women in Beijing are different from those at home. Unfortunately, Bai Zhi is a maid from a wealthy family. It will not be easy to see her in the future.
After leaving Ning's house, Bai Zhi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. Then she went to a snack shop, picked out a few snacks that girls in her family usually used, wrapped them, and then walked to Gu's house.
Of course it was not by chance that she would appear outside the Ning family's gate. In fact, the Gu family was more than half an hour away from the Ning family. She just followed the girl's order and deliberately approached the Ning family.
Unexpectedly, Ning Xing was unexpectedly shy. When she was setting her bones, her face was as red as a steamed crab. It's a pity that he is not the real owner. It seems that he will have to find an opportunity to get rid of Ning Xing's sister who is not at home in a while.
Bai Zhi entered the Gu Mansion through the side door, which opened into the garden. To the west of the garden was the yard for the second bedroom, and to the east was the courtyard for the first bedroom. In the past, she rarely saw people from the first bedroom. She didn't expect that when she came back today, she would I met the maid serving the eldest girl.
This person seemed to be named Sanqi. Her girl asked her to inquire about this maid who suddenly appeared, but unfortunately she couldn't find out anything in the end. Bai Zhi glanced at Sanqi warily. The two of them had hardly spoken, and she didn't intend to come forward to say hello, so she lowered her head and prepared to leave here quickly.
Unexpectedly, Sanqi took the initiative to greet her when he saw her, and said enthusiastically, "Sister Bai Zhi is going out?"
Bai Zhi was stunned and quickly responded, "Go buy some snacks for our girl."
"Which snack is there? How does it taste? If it tastes good, I will buy some for the girl later."
"It's Cheng Dongfu who remembers the snacks. Our girls have loved eating them since childhood. His lotus petal cakes are particularly exquisite. I happened to buy a lot of them today. If Sister Sanqi doesn't mind, you can take them back to try them."
"Oh, thank you so much, sister." Sanqi was not polite at all. He took half a pack of lotus petal cake from Bai Zhi and turned back to the east courtyard with a smile.
Seeing that Sanqi didn't ask any more questions, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she might have been infected by her own girl. She felt ill-intentioned when meeting people around the eldest girl. Even if Sanqi suspected something, with this package of snacks She should not think too much about it as a cover-up.
