Views:

Ning Jiuwei held the tea cup for a moment, then put down the cup with a normal expression, and said calmly: "Gu Qingchen, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Everything I say is carefully considered, Jiuwei, you should know that five years ago, your smile was imprinted in my mind. I really like you." After Gu Qingchen finished speaking, a pair of white jade The flawless hand held Ning Jiuwei's soft hand.

Ning Jiu lowered his head slightly and looked at the hands held by the two people. He raised his head again and asked with clear eyes: "Why are you talking to me today?"

"Jiu Wei, do you know about my engagement with the Fifth Princess?" Gu Qingchen asked.

"I've heard a little bit about it." Ning Jiu nodded slightly and said.

Gu Qingchen stopped Ning Jiuwei and said, "I don't like her, but my aunt insisted on this marriage for me. I plan to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement."

Hearing Gu Qingchen's words, Ning Jiuwei raised her head and glanced, then started to eat her own food. She had a hunch that this matter had something to do with her.

As expected, when Gu Qingchen saw that she was silent, he spoke. He looked at Ning Jiuwei and asked, "Jiuwei, will you marry me?"

Hearing Gu Qingchen talking about herself, Ning Jiuwei stopped eating. She put down her chopsticks, looked at Gu Qingchen with clear eyes and said, "You came to me today to ask for answers, right? If I promise you , you will cancel the engagement, if I don’t agree to it, you won’t go, right?”

"Jiu Wei~" Gu Qingchen was annoyed by her straightforwardness and intelligence, but he also admired her straightforwardness and intelligence. He shouted helplessly.

Ning Jiuwei looked into Gu Qingchen's eyes and asked, "Gu Qingchen, in fact, the fact that you came to invite me to dinner today shows that you have a choice in your heart, but you are still unwilling to give in and want to ask. "

"That's not the case, Jiuwei, I really like you." Gu Qingchen shook his head and said.

"Okay, in that case, I promise you." Ning Jiu nodded slightly.

Gu Qingchen was stunned, blinked and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said I promised to marry you. You can go to the emperor to cancel the engagement." Ning Jiuwei's phoenix eyes had the ability to see into people's hearts. She looked at Gu Qingchen with a flat look and said.

Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Gu Qingchen's heart went from shock to joy, and finally turned into a touch of bitterness on his lips. However, he could not say a word about withdrawing from the engagement, but there was only silence.

"Gu Qingchen, you came to me this time because it was unnecessary. Don't come to me again in the future. I don't want to have anything to do with you and the Mu family." After Ning Jiuwei finished speaking, he took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant and put it away. got on the table, turned around and left the room.

When Gu Qingchen saw Ning Jiuwei leaving the room, he was about to catch up. Suddenly he saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant on the table. He looked at it thoughtfully for a long time and held the jade pendant in his hand.

This jade pendant was exactly the jade pendant he gave to Ning Jiuwei five years ago. Now Jiuwei threw it on the table. What did it mean? Gu Qingchen thought about it for a long time.

As soon as Ning Jiuwei walked out of the private room, she saw a shadow cast on the ground on the wall of the private room. She looked up and saw Qin Lin in a black brocade robe.

At this time, Qin Lin folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the wall. His face was as gloomy as water, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his thin lips were pursed, obviously suppressing his anger.

"Why are you here?" Ning Jiuwei asked in surprise.

Qin Lin looked deeply at Ning Jiuwei, walked to her side step by step, paused slightly for a moment, said nothing, just passed her by, and strode downstairs.

Looking at the direction Qin Lin left, Ning Jiuwei's eyes darkened slightly. She lowered her eyes and saw a ball of crumpled letter paper on the ground.

Ning Jiuwei cleverly knelt down and picked up the crumpled letter, then unfolded it gently. Her eyes sparkled for a moment.

It turned out that the identity written on the letter was He Lanxuan's identity. Qin Lin came here to send her a message, but why did he leave without saying anything.

"Jiu Wei, give me half a year, and I will marry you gloriously." Gu Qingchen walked out of the room, still holding the dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand.

Ning Jiuwei turned her head to look at Gu Qingchen, and said with serious and clear eyes: "Gu Qingchen, I don't like you, and you don't need to make any promises to me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Jiu Wei..." Gu Qingchen wanted to reach out his hand to hold Ning Jiu Wei, but he didn't hold it. His hands were empty and his heart was empty. He could only watch her figure disappear before his eyes.

Looking at Ning Jiuwei's back, Gu Qingchen clenched his hands tightly and looked deeply. In two years, only two years, he would be qualified to marry Jiuwei and give her the most grand wedding.

… …

"Father, why are you back so soon? Where is my wife?" Mu Chenfeng watched Mu Nanfeng walk into the flower hall and hurriedly went to greet him and asked.

Mu Nanfeng waved his hand and said, "Your mother went back to the backyard."

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Mu Chenfeng keenly noticed that something was wrong and asked.

"When I went there, your mother had already left the Queen Mother's house, but what your mother said made sense." Mu Nanfeng sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"What did mother say?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

Mu Nanfeng's eyes were slightly cold and he said: "Yun Xiao is poisoned. The person who poisoned him must have the antidote, so dad also hopes to get the antidote from them to detoxify Yun Xiao."

"But they are not the murderers. I was also present that day, so I know that they must not have poisoned Yun Xiao." Mu Chenfeng said.

Mu Nanfeng waved his hand and said: "Your mother said that some time ago, when the fourth master came to our house, after Ning Jiuwei and the others left, she and Xiaoxiao had a bad day. Do you think this is not the case? What is poisoning?”

"We don't know the identities and backgrounds of these two people, and they are also people in the world. It is possible that they drugged Yun Xiao without knowing it."

After hearing Mu Nanfeng's words, Mu Chenfeng knew that his father also agreed with his mother's idea, but for some reason, he thought of Ning Jiuwei's cold and stubborn eyes, and there was a faint voice in his heart telling him that this poison must be It wasn't her.

But this was just a guess in his mind, and there was no evidence at all. Thinking of this, Mu Chenfeng asked: "Father, what if after verification, it is really not they who poisoned me?"

"What your mother said makes sense. It is better to kill them by mistake than to let them go. If they are really wronged, your father and your mother will personally make amends to them." Mu Nanfeng said.

In fact, Mu Nanfeng was also very angry. His son was beaten twice by the same little girl for no reason. He was still lying on the bed. If it wasn't for Fourth Master, he would have arrested these two girls. Even now, the Queen Mother has agreed, and the Fourth Master will not blame him.

When Mu Chenfeng heard Mu Nanfeng's words, his eyes darkened, and he turned around and left the flower hall without saying anything. He didn't know why, but he suddenly hated Mu Yunxiao in his heart. He caused trouble everywhere, but his father and mother protected him. Sooner or later something big will happen.
