"Jiuwei, what are you doing?" Qi Lexuan asked, looking at Ning Jiuwei sitting in a daze at the table.

Ning Jiuwei raised her head when she heard the voice and looked at Qi Lexuan. Then she lowered her head and looked at the portrait on the table and asked, "Lexuan, how much do you know about my mother?"

"Ah? You mean Sister Long? Why did you ask about this matter so politely?" Qi Lexuan blinked and asked with some confusion.

"Just tell me if you know." After Ning Jiuwei finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on the gentle smiling woman in the portrait.

Qi Lexuan scratched her head and said, "I don't know exactly. I remember when I was very young, Brother Chu found my father while holding Sister Long who was covered in blood."

"I heard my father say that in order to save Sister Long, he used less than half of a thousand-year-old ginseng tree that he had collected. It made him feel bad."

"But although Dad saved Sister Long, her health was not very good and she was kept on medication. Later, Brother Chu and my brother went to the palace in the capital to steal medicinal materials. You will know what happened after that."

After listening to Qi Lexuan's words, Ning Jiu frowned slightly and sighed. What can this prove? What is the relationship between He Lanxuan and her mother

"Jiuwei, why did you ask about Sister Long so politely?" Qi Lexuan asked.

Ning Jiuwei looked at Qi Lexuan, and then expressed her suspicions: "I feel that mother knows He Lanxuan. Mother, Chu Tianyi, and He Lanxuan must have known each other back then, and I think my mother is probably He Lanxuan's wife." .”

"What? Jiuwei, are you crazy? Sister Long is Brother Chu's wife. How can you think so?" Qi Lexuan shouted loudly after hearing what Ning Jiuwei said.

Hearing Qi Lexuan's words, Ning Jiuwei looked a little embarrassed. She didn't want to think so, but all she had been thinking about over the past few days were He Lanxuan's words, which made her more and more suspicious of such a possibility.

"Jiuwei, what's wrong with you? Did you hear something?" Qi Lexuan also realized that Ning Jiuwei was abnormal and asked.

Ning Jiuwei looked at Qi Lexuan, pointed at the Jiaotong Fengwei Qin, and said, "I met He Lanxuan a few days ago. He said that he made this Qin for his wife with his own hands. The words written on it were: Dechengbimuhe Resigning to death and wishing to be a mandarin duck without envying immortals, he and his wife carved it together."

Then Ning Jiuwei touched the handwriting on it and said: "I don't know whether the above sentence was written by He Lanxuan, but it is not Chu Tianyi's handwriting, and the next sentence is willing to be a mandarin duck but not an immortal. The handwriting is indeed correct. It’s my mother’s.”

"Then...this...could it be a coincidence? Or maybe these two sentences were written by Sister Long." Qi Lexuan blinked and said.

Ning Jiuwei looked at Qi Lexuan, shook her head and said, "No, my mother's handwriting is gentle and heroic, but this handwriting is like a dragon, domineering, and at first glance, it can be written by an iron-blooded person. "

"That's impossible. It must be He Lanxuan who is confusing you. It must be a lie." Qi Lexuan said, even she didn't believe it, but she still couldn't believe that Sister Long would have two husbands. In her heart, Chu Tianyi and Sister Long are the most suitable and loving ones.

Hearing Qi Lexuan's words, Ning Jiuwei said nothing. She also hoped that her guess was wrong, but her reason told her that this matter was probably true.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qi Lexuan heard the sound, turned her head and asked, "Who is it?"

"Miss Ning, I am Mu Chenfeng, can I meet you?" A voice sounded outside the door.

Ning Jiuwei and the two looked at each other, and Qi Lexuan said, "I'm going to send him away. Why is this guy named Mu so annoying? His ghost lingers. Mu Yunxiao left, and Mu Chenfeng came."

"No, I'll go take a look." Ning Jiuwei stood up and walked over.

Qi Lexuan looked at Ning Jiuwei in surprise and asked, "Don't you hate people named Mu the most? Why do you still see him?"

"He is different from Mu Yunxiao, he... is a good person." Ning Jiuwei finished speaking and opened the door.

Mu Chenfeng stood in front of the door, watching Ning Jiuwei open the door from the inside, surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Miss Jiuwei, are you willing to see me?"

"Aren't you busy? Should you come in or stand at the door?" Ning Jiu asked with a smile.

"It's like this, tonight is the emperor's birthday, and the Queen Mother just sent an order from the palace, asking you and Miss Qi to go." Mu Chenfeng said.

Ning Jiuwei looked back at Qi Lexuan and said, "Lexuan is the princess, so she can go, but as a commoner, what qualifications do I have to go?"

"The Queen Mother means... you are my unmarried wife, so you will enter the palace with my mother." After Mu Chenfeng finished speaking, he looked at Ning Jiuwei.

Ning Jiuwei looked at Mu Chenfeng and asked, "Mrs. Gu and I will enter the palace together? Does she agree?"

"This is Yi's decree, and mother will not disobey it." Mu Chenfeng said.

Ning Jiuwei sighed helplessly. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a cold voice coming from the stairs. She looked up and saw Qin Lin in black.

"She has agreed to come into the palace with me." Qin Lin walked up the stairs with a dark face and said.

Mu Chenfeng frowned, first saluted Qin Lin, and then said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Fourth Master, no matter what you say, I still have to listen to Miss Jiuwei's answer, and I respect her choice."

Hearing Mu Chenfeng's words, Qin Lin raised his eyes and looked at him, and then said to Ning Jiuwei: "I have asked my father to grant us a marriage. After today, you will be my princess."

"What?" Ning Jiuwei frowned, obviously finding it hard to accept.

"Fourth Master, the Queen Mother has made a decree. Jiuwei is now my fiancée." Mu Chenfeng also darkened his face and said coldly.

Qin Lin looked at Mu Chenfeng and raised his eyebrows, and said in the same cold tone as before: "So what?"

"Fourth Master, can you do such a thing as stealing someone's wife? Aren't you afraid of being stigmatized?" Mu Chenfeng's voice was already on the verge of depression.

"Mu Chenfeng, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?" Qin Lin asked expressionlessly.

Mu Chenfeng said: "It's not who gave Chenfeng the courage, but what Fourth Master did was really too much."

"I have to say, Mu Chenfeng, you have more backbone than Gu Qingchen, but that can only go so far. Ning Jiuwei is mine and no one can touch her. Do you understand?" Qin Lin finished speaking. , Leng Mi glanced at Mu Chenfeng.

When Ning Jiuwei heard Qin Lin's words, she pursed her lips and said, "Mu Chenfeng, please go back first. I have something to discuss with Fourth Master alone."

"Jiu Wei, if you need anything, call me. Although he is a prince, I, Mu Chenfeng, can also protect you." Mu Chenfeng said.

"Okay, I understand." Ning Jiu smiled and nodded. In her previous life, she only had Qin Lin in her eyes, but she ignored Mu Chenfeng's kindness to her. It turned out that she had also enjoyed such warmth back then.

Qin Lin looked at Ning Jiuwei's smile towards Mu Chenfeng and felt it was very annoying. He pinched Ning Jiuwei's wrist and said coldly: "If you like him so much, why are you still resisting?"
