Shi Jingyang looked at the gentle Ning Wei in front of him, and the irritability in his heart disappeared a lot.
After listening to Ning Wei's question and thinking about what Ning Guangyan had done, the irritation in his heart surged up again, and he asked: "Ning Yuanwailang came over today and mentioned the matter of asking you to marry Zhao Yongqing again?"
Ning Wei paused her hand and spilled the tea out of the cup, flowing along the table to Shi Jingyang's side.
Ning Wei quickly put down the teapot, took out a handkerchief to wipe the water on the table, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure in front of Prince Shi."
Shi Jingyang looked at the somewhat panicked Ning Wei and said warmly: "It doesn't matter!"
In fact, Ning Wei was not the only one who was panicking at this time.
Shi Jingyang was also in a panic. Just now, after listening to Qingshan's words, he only had an impulse in his heart to come and see her.
So, he followed his heart and came here, and asked straightforwardly about Ning Guangyan's arrival during the day.
It was only when he saw Ning Wei pouring the tea away that he realized that he was being reckless.
Ning Guangyan is her father, and what happened during the day is, in the final analysis, her family matter and a family scandal.
Now he is no longer her husband, but to her, he is just an outsider.
Anyone would feel embarrassed to be asked so bluntly about family scandals by an outsider.
After a lot of busy work, Ning Wei finally stopped and sat across from Shi Jingyang in great embarrassment.
There were no words to each other, and the courtyard under the moonlight was silent.
I don’t know how long it took, but Ning Wei wanted to speak to break the current embarrassment.
"Let Prince Shi..."
"have what……"
Unexpectedly, they both spoke at the same time.
Looking at each other, Shi Jingyang put his clenched fist to his mouth and said "bang bang" twice, and then said: "Ah Wei, please speak first."
No matter in the past life or in this life, Ning Wei always felt a little scared when facing Shi Jingyang.
Perhaps it was the disparity in status between them, or perhaps it was the various experiences Ning Wei had experienced in her previous life that made her unable to straighten her spine in front of him.
Therefore, after she came back from rebirth, she wanted to stay away from him, and did not want or dare to have too much interaction with him.
Ning Wei sighed in her heart. She only wanted to stay away from him, but she forgot that her brother and he were close friends.
In the days since I came back, not only have I not stayed away from him, but I have also let him see me in my most embarrassing and embarrassing state.
Thinking of this, Ning Wei sighed again in her heart, that's all, this is the most embarrassing situation.
Ning Wei sipped her tea to hide her panic and uneasiness.
Shi Jingyang sat quietly, without urging her, and waited patiently for her to speak.
Ning Wei put the cup in her hand on the stone table, looked up at Shi Jingyang, and said, "Let Prince Shi laugh."
Shi Jingyang was full of expectations, expecting Ning Wei to tell him her difficulties, her thoughts... and even ask him for help, and then he would help her deal with the person who plotted against her...
Shi Jingyang never expected that Ning Wei would say, "Make him laugh!"
These days, he has repeatedly stepped in to help her out. When has he ever laughed at her?
He and she were once a couple, and they were one body. There was no such thing as a "joke" between them.
No, she didn't say this from the perspective of husband and wife, she said this from the perspective of Miss Ning, and she put him aside.
Shi Jingyang sensed alienation from Ning Wei's polite words. This feeling made him feel uncomfortable and even a little irritable.
After being reborn, although Shi Jingyang had no intention of marrying Ning Wei again, he still felt uncomfortable after being left by Ning Wei.
Shi Jingyang said: "Well, Miss Ning doesn't have to be like this. Yingzhe and I are close friends, and Yingzhe is Miss Ning's brother...Miss Ning can treat me as...your brother."
When it came to the latter part, Shi Jingyang felt speechless. He didn't know what word to use for a moment, and finally spat out the word "brother."
Looking at Shi Jingyang who was a little annoyed, he just called her A Wei, but now she has turned back into Miss Ning.
No matter how slow Ning Wei reacts, she still knows that he is angry?
Ning Wei felt that she didn't say anything wrong, so why did she offend this old man?
In my impression, Shi Jingyang always treated her with indifference. When facing her, he always looked extremely cold and indifferent.
Like today, sometimes as gentle as jade, sometimes irritable, but this is the first time.
The most incredible thing is that even though he was angry, he still asked her to treat him as her brother...
Ning Wei looked at Shi Jingyang in astonishment. This man who had been her husband for seven years was so strange to her. Could it be that he didn't hate her so much? He even had a slight liking for her?
Shi Jingyang's eyesight was extremely good. Even under the hazy moonlight, he could clearly see Ning Wei's incredible face.
So he explained: "Yingzhe attaches great importance to this scientific expedition. He wants to use Qiu Wei and Chun Wei to get rid of the shackles of your family, and then Miss Hu Ning and Mrs. Qian will also be careful.
Yingzhe can only rely on his own efforts for the exam, but I can help him with the trivial matters related to Yingzhe in life. For example, Ning Yuanwailang came to visit today..."
Shi Jingyang wanted to say that Ning Guangyan came to the house to cause mischief, but considering that Ning Guangyan was Ning Wei's father, Shi Jingyang omitted the word "nonsense" for the sake of Ning Wei's face.
Shi Jingyang paused and continued: "Originally, I wanted to find Yingzhe and asked him if he needed me to do anything. Then I thought that Yingzhe should not be distracted while preparing for the exam, so I came to find Miss Ning.
I think Yingzhe cares about Miss Ning, and Miss Ning should also care about Yingzhe."
After listening to Shi Jingyang's explanation, it turned out that he was overthinking. Ning Wei suddenly felt ashamed and panicked, and her face turned red to her ears. Could she be a little more sentimental?
Fortunately, it was night and the thick darkness covered her up. Otherwise, Ning Wei might have run away.
After all, as a human being, Ning Wei quickly calmed down her emotions, bowed slightly to Shi Jingyang, and expressed her sincere thanks.
"Thank you so much, Prince Shi, for always thinking about your brother. It's a blessing for me to have a friend like Prince Shi."
Seeing Ning Wei politely thanking him, Shi Jingyang didn't feel like it, but felt very upset.
Shi Jingyang said calmly: "Miss Ning, there is no need to say more polite words.
Yingzhe and I have known each other for more than ten years, and we are like brothers. It is not difficult for me to deal with a foreign minister. But this person is your father, so I have some concerns."
Shi Jingyang's words moved Ning Wei very much.
However, how could a scumbag like his father bother him to do anything?
Just because he married her despite the rumors and gave her a place to live in the last life, he is her benefactor.
In her heart, he is a noble and noble prince.
His hands are used to organize troops on the battlefield to defend against enemies, not to deal with shameless people.
Ning Wei leaned forward again, "Thank you, Prince Shi! As Prince Shi said, that man is my elder brother and my father.
No matter how unbearable he is, he is still my brother and my elder. There are no bad parents in the world. This is the fate of my brother and me!"
When it came to Ning Guangyan, Shi Jingyang saw a deep sense of loneliness in Ning Wei, which made Shi Jingyang feel very uncomfortable.
She spoke in relief and said: "The rich old lady is protecting Yingzhe and Miss Ning, and Mr. Ning can't do anything to you.
Of course, out of filial piety, Ning Yuanwailang cannot do anything here, but the Zhao family can do something."
Ning Wei nodded, "Thank you, Prince Shi, for the pointer. I understand."
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei and asked, "Do you need me to take action?"
Ning Wei shook his head and said: "No need, Prince Shi has already helped us enough.
Let me do the rest by myself. Thank you, Prince Shi, for keeping your husband by my side. I am afraid that your husband will have to stay with me until my elder brother Chun Wei..."
Before Ning Wei could finish speaking, Shi Jingyang interrupted her, "There is no shortage of people around me. Hu Rui is extremely skilled. Let her stay with you until Yingzhe is able to protect you."
Shi Jingyang's words that could not be refuted made Ning Wei a little distracted.
Shi Jingyang saw Ning Wei in a daze and wondered what she was thinking, fearing that she would say no.
So he continued: "I told Hu Rui that when she is by your side, she is yours and only takes orders from you.
Besides, Hu Rui's skills are not as good as those of Qingshan Qingyun, so there should be no problem in protecting you.
Except for Hu Rui, Qiao Yi and Qiao Er are hiding in the dark, and Hu Rui can summon them.
If you have anything to do, just tell them to do it."
Having said this, Shi Jingyang looked around and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
Shi Jingyang stood up, turned around and walked out, fearing that Ning Wei would stop him and ask him to take Qiao Yi and Qiao Er back.
Ning Wei quickly stood up and followed out of the pavilion.
Shi Jingyang turned back to look at her and said, "No need to send her off. It's getting late, so you should rest early."
Ning Weifu said: "Prince Shizi, walk slowly."
Shi Jingyang nodded, turned around and walked forward. After taking two steps, he turned around and looked over, saying to Ning Wei: "If you need me to do anything, let them tell me."
After saying that, without waiting for Ning Wei's reply, Shi Jingyang turned around and walked forward, leaving the Xu Mansion along the way he came.
Ning Wei watched Shi Jingyang stand up and jump over the wall, standing there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
Hu Rui came out of the darkness, leaned towards Ning Wei and said, "Miss, the prince has left."
Ning Wei came back to her senses, blushed and said, "I know."
With that said, Ning Wei walked to her room, "It's getting late, I'm going to have a rest. Sir, I'll have a rest earlier too."
Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei, who was walking back hurriedly, and then looked at the courtyard wall where there was no sign of anyone, and he had a bold idea in his mind.
Ning Wei returned to the room, put on her clothes and fell on the bed, her mind filled with Shi Jingyang's words.
After a while, Ning Wei sighed slightly and murmured to himself: "I have decided to walk away far away, why are you still coming to me? What on earth do you want to do?"
Then he thought again: "You are quite narcissistic, he only extended a helping hand to you for the sake of his brother.
Don't be too sentimental and think about things you shouldn't think about. Don't think about your own identity or his identity."
Ning Wei shook her head, trying to get Shi Jingyang away from her mind. "She and him, between the clouds and mud, don't think about things that are not there. The most important thing is to do what you should do. Sleep!"
After saying that, Ning Wei closed her eyes and went to sleep.
That night, Ning Wei had a long dream. In the dream, she was in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and she was still the crown prince's wife.
After a while, Ning He came to her and cried, saying that she had stolen her sweetheart.
After a while, Miss Wu came up to her, pointed at her face and scolded her, saying she was shameless and wanted her to return her brother Le.
She wanted to explain to Miss Wu, but when she tried hard to open her mouth, it felt like it had been sewn shut with a needle and thread. She couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried.
"Miss, wake up, miss, wake up!"
Ning Wei opened her eyes and saw Zaohua's nervous face through the dim light.
When Zaohua saw Ning Wei waking up, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief and asked, "Miss, did you have a nightmare?"
Ning Wei woke up and said, "I had a dream. What time is it now?"
Zaohua raised her hand to wipe Ning Wei's sweat and said, "Chou Shi."
Zaohua turned around and walked to the table, poured a glass of water, handed it to Ning Wei, "Miss, have a sip of tea."
Ning Wei took the teacup, lowered her head and took a sip, then handed the cup to Zaohua.
Zaohua took the cup, turned around and put it back on the table, saying, "It's still early before dawn. Miss, please sleep a little longer."
Ning Wei nodded and lay down again.
Zaohua waited for Ning Wei to sleep well before carrying the candlestick to the outside.
Suddenly, Ning Wei heard a "plop".
Ning Wei immediately opened her eyes, got out of bed, and walked out while shouting: "Zaohua."
Before Zaohua could respond, a dark figure flashed behind Ning Wei, raised his hand and struck hard at her.
The opponent's hands rose and fell, and Ning Wei's eyes darkened and he lost consciousness.
Hu Rui, who was lying in the east wing, suddenly opened his eyes and listened. His heart suddenly sank. He immediately got out of bed, raised his sword and chased out. When he saw the door of the main room was wide open, he secretly said, it was broken.
Hu Rui quickly walked into the house and saw that the door to the back room was also wide open. He jumped to the door in a few steps, but there was no figure of Ning Wei in the back room.
Hu Rui quickly jumped onto the wall.
"Sister Rui, the person is heading to the southeast. Qiao Yi has already chased him. You should hurry up. I will report to the Crown Prince." Qiao Er said hurriedly.
Hu Rui said "Okay" and walked southeast to pursue him.
Hu Rui's Qinggong was extremely good. He was chasing a stick of incense when he saw Qiao Yi in front of him.
Two figures could be vaguely seen more than ten feet away.
Hu Rui asked: "Did you see who it was?"
Qiao Yi shook his head and said: "I don't know, these two people are very good at light kung fu. If they can have such good footwork with the eldest lady, their kung fu must be extraordinary."
"Follow up!"
Hu Rui passed Qiao Yi and chased forward.
"Fifth brother, what should I do if I catch up?"
Ran Wuyang looked back and said: Chaoyang, you take the people away quickly, I will hold them back, and let them leave the city as soon as the city gate opens."
"Okay, I'll take the first step." Xu Chaoyang responded.
Hu Rui chased after him, but was stopped by Ran Wuyang. Hu Rui didn't want to fight, and took the opponent's life with every move, forcing Ran Wuyang to retreat continuously.
Hu Rui took the opportunity to get rid of Ran Wuyang's entanglement and ordered Qiao Yi, who was catching up, "Catch him."
After saying that, Hu Rui chased after Xu Chaoyang.
Xu Chaoyang carried Ning Wei and ran two streets forward. When he reached an intersection, he carried the man down from the roof, put Ning Wei into a carriage, and then ordered: "Hurry and leave."
Hu Rui was on the roof, watching the four carriages disperse in four directions, while the man in black who had been carrying Ning Wei stood in the middle of the intersection, holding his hands and facing her.
Xu Chaoyang looked up at Hu Rui and said, "You're late. Miss Ning has already left by car. Guess which car Miss Ning took?"
