Ning Jiuwei returned to the Prince's Mansion and was about to go to bed, but she heard a message from Lan Si saying that there was a guest who wanted to see her, and it was from the Mu Mansion, so she had to go and meet him.
Lan Si originally planned to go there with Ning Jiuwei, but she refused and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll be right back. You can put the hot water on first."
"Yes." Lan Si stopped and nodded.
The courtyard where Ning Jiuwei lived was still some distance away from the flower hall. It took a quarter of an hour to get there. Because it was night, only the housekeeper was waiting on her.
"Jiuwei~"
Mu Chenfeng sat on the chair in a irritable mood. The moment he saw Ning Jiuwei, surprise burst into his eyes, and he stood up and shouted.
As soon as Ning Jiuwei walked in, she smelled something like the aroma of wine, but not the aroma of wine. This smell made her frown.
When she saw it was Mu Chenfeng, Ning Jiuwei's eyes flashed with surprise. In her heart, Mu Chenfeng had always been mature and steady. Maybe something happened to her today. Thinking of this, her heart suddenly thumped.
"Why are you here? Did something happen to the Mu family?" Ning Jiuwei asked.
Just as Mu Chenfeng was about to open his mouth, he caught sight of the housekeeper standing beside him and stopped talking, "It's nothing, I just came to see you."
Not to mention Ning Jiuwei, even the housekeeper saw such an obvious action. He knew the relationship between the two people. Before Ning Jiuwei could say anything, he bowed and said, "Miss Ning, sit down for a moment while I go down to make a pot of tea. "
"What's the matter? Let's talk now." Ning Jiuwei said and sat on the chair, frowning.
Mu Chenfeng looked at Ning Jiuwei and asked, "Jiuwei, tell me the truth. The reason why the Mu family was not wiped out was because you made a deal with Qin Lin, right?"
"Who did you listen to?" Ning Jiuwei frowned. Except for Long Yurong and a few others, she had never told anyone about this matter.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Mu Chenfeng's initial doubts were dispelled. He asked: "Jiuwei, just tell me if this is true. Do you think marrying Qin Lin is a good idea?" Under the conditions, the Mu family can be saved?"
"It's true." Ning Jiu nodded slightly, but began to ponder in his heart who told this matter.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's affirmative answer, Mu Chenfeng's originally groggy mind seemed to clear up for a moment. He stood up angrily, grabbed Ning Jiuwei and said, "Follow me."
"Mu Chenfeng, let go, what are you doing?" Ning Jiuwei was startled by Mu Chenfeng's sudden movement, and immediately tried hard to break free from his hand.
Mu Chenfeng took a deep breath, looked at Ning Jiuwei, and said, "Jiuwei, I won't allow you to leave here with me because of the Mu family."
"Mu Chenfeng, you are wrong. I have not wronged myself. I really like Qin Lin. I will never wrong myself for anyone." Ning Jiuwei said.
"I don't believe it, Jiuwei, come with me, I will definitely be able to protect you." Mu Chenfeng's eyes were firm and hot, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
Ning Jiuwei looked at Mu Chenfeng's somewhat red eyes, frowned and said, "Mu Chenfeng, what's wrong with you?"
"I just don't want you to be wronged, Jiuwei, you... are my sister. I must protect you. I don't want you to be wronged in any way. I will take you away from Qin Lin." Mu Chenfeng said in a serious and determined tone.
After hearing Mu Chenfeng's words, Ning Jiuwei's tone softened a lot and said: "Mu Chenfeng, I know what you mean, but I really like Qin Lin, and being with him is of my own free will, so You don’t have to do anything.”
"But you obviously married Qin Lin for the Mu family." Mu Chenfeng said with a frown.
"That was before. Now Qin Lin and I are in love. He and I have lived together in Yingcheng through life and death. It's all because I like him. Do you understand?" Ning Jiuwei said.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Mu Chenfeng lowered his arms feebly, and said with a hint of sadness in his voice: "In that case, then do it according to your wish, but you have to remember that I am always behind you. .”
"Yes, I know." Ning Jiu smiled slightly and nodded.
Mu Chenfeng raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyebrows. He felt that he seemed to be very irritable today and his mind was not very clear.
"Send me off, can you?" Mu Chenfeng looked at Ning Jiuwei and asked.
Ning Jiu nodded slightly, picked up the lamp on the side, and said, "Of course, let's go."
After hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Mu Chenfeng nodded, took the lead and walked towards the door, secretly strengthening his determination in his heart.
After going out, Ning Jiuwei felt that the air was getting fresher and fresher. The aroma of wine in the room seemed to be much lighter, and her mind was a little fuzzy.
For the first time, Mu Chenfeng felt that the road was not that long. He arrived at the door in less than half a stick of incense. He turned his head and looked at Ning Jiuwei, and said, "Jiuwei, I'm sorry."
"Why do you say that?" Ning Jiu asked with a slight frown.
"Because I want to take you away." Mu Chenfeng said, and saw Ning Jiu swaying slightly, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
Ning Jiu shook her head slightly, trying hard to stay awake. She suddenly remembered the scent of wine she had smelled in the flower hall before, and she understood a lot.
She frowned at Mu Chenfeng and said, "Mu Chenfeng, do you know what you are doing?"
"Because I want you to live according to your own wishes, Jiuwei, I asked Chi Feng to prepare a carriage at the city gate. You can leave the city today."
As Mu Chenfeng spoke, he picked up Ning Jiuwei's limp body, put her on the horse, and galloped away with her.
Ning Jiuwei sat on the horse and couldn't help cursing in her heart. Her mind became more and more groggy. She had lived in the Medicine Valley for so many years, and she never expected that Mu Chenfeng would drug her, which caught her off guard.
"Mu Chenfeng, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe it. Qin Lin and I have no so-called unwillingness at all. Let me go." Ning Jiuwei said with a slightly dazed mind.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Mu Chenfeng frowned and said, "Then how do you explain the deal between you and Qin Lin?"
"There is nothing to explain. It was then, and now is now. Just like I hated the Mu family back then, but I still choose to forgive now." Ning Jiuwei said with a firm voice.
Ning Jiuwei's words made Mu Chenfeng's movements stagnant. Yes, it was then, and now is now. But now, can feelings change so much in just a few months? Mu Chenfeng kept thinking in his heart. Ask yourself.
"Jiu Wei, do you really like Qin Lin?" Mu Chenfeng reined in the horse and asked with a frown.
"Yes, until death do us part." Ning Jiu nodded slightly and said.
