"What does the eleventh prince mean by doing this?" Nangong Feiran asked righteously.
"Your Highness... Your Highness is jealous of Juxianke's business, and in order to avenge the loss of face in the gambling house last time..." the leader said hesitantly.
The eleventh prince? Gambling house? Revenge? Losing face?
What are these, Nangong Feiran thought to himself, what has this woman been doing outside these days? How come she doesn’t even give face to the eleventh prince? Nangong Feiran suddenly felt that this woman was stronger than he thought.
More, much more powerful.
"Humph, I knew it was like this." Yuchi Pingting said, walked up to one of the people, untied his rope, and then said to that person: "Go back and tell the Eleventh Prince that his people are with me.
, let him bring enough money to pick up people tomorrow. If there is no money before tomorrow evening, I will take these people to Dali Temple. Get lost."
Nangong Feiran was shocked when he heard Yuchi Pingting's arrangement. This woman was so powerful. Everyone knew that she had been caught. The eleventh prince would never admit that these people were sent by him.
Yuchi Pingting did not mention this matter at all. She just asked the eleventh prince to bring money to redeem the people. The eleventh prince would definitely not be willing, so Yuchi Pingting would send these few people to Dali Temple. Even though the eleventh prince had the power to reach heaven.
It is impossible for him to take care of the affairs of Dali Temple without leaking any news.
Especially at this juncture, when several princes are vying to express their hope that they can be qualified to be crown princes, there will definitely be someone who will not let the eleventh prince off the hook. He knows it in his heart, so even if he has no choice but to do so, he will still obediently bring the money.
. Yuchi Pingting’s move really left the eleventh prince at his wits’ end.
"Xiaoyao, lock them up in the woodshed and keep them under strict supervision." Yuchi Pingting motioned to Yi Xiaoyao to take the others down.
Yi Xiaoyao locked up those people and went upstairs to his room, leaving only Yuchi Pingting and Nangong Feiran.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good to go back too late. Someone will be worried." Yuchi Pingting said.
"Are you driving me away?" Nangong Feiran asked.
"If you want to come for tea and wine tasting, please come early tomorrow." Yuchi Pingting said with a smile.
"After all, I just helped you, why are you letting me go without even drinking enough?" Nangong Feiran became interested in her. This woman was much more mysterious than he thought, and he became more and more interested in her.
More and more interested.
"It turns out that the prince thinks there is not enough wine. That's no problem. The most indispensable thing for gatherings of immortals is wine." Yuchi Pingting said and stood up to boil a pot of wine.
"Are you okay here...?" Nangong Feiran pondered for a long time before asking.
"Of course it's very good, it couldn't be better." Yuchi Pingting's smile was as bright as the sun.
"What I want to say is, if you feel tired, just go home." Nangong Feiran said calmly.
"Go home? What home?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"Can you please stop being like this? Although you and I are not actually husband and wife, we are still called husband and wife..."
Before Nangong Feiran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuchi Pingting: "Why, are you afraid that I will do something shameful outside and lose your face?"
Nangong Feiran felt very uncomfortable, but he still said: "No, I'm afraid you will be wronged outside alone. If you are tired, go home." Nangong Feiran knew in his heart that he hated Yuchi Pingting just because of the emperor's sudden behavior.
The marriage was granted and various rumors I heard, but now after seeing Yuchi Pingting's character, I feel that this marriage is very unfair to her. Her wealth may be more than her own, but she really has no regard for herself.
What I want is that I still have my beloved, Hua Ningmou, by my side, but this woman has nothing except the child who caused such trouble, so I feel ashamed.
"Your Majesty, those words are serious. Didn't we already have an agreement before we got married, so you don't have to be like this." Facing Nangong Feiran's sudden concern, Yuchi Pingting was really not used to it.
"I think we had a misunderstanding before. If my words made you feel uncomfortable, I hope you can forgive me. At that time, maybe I was just dizzy with anger." Nangong Feiran himself also wondered what was wrong with him. He had always
When will Guao apologize to others? But for some unknown reason, he couldn't help but tell the truth to Yuchi Pingting. Maybe it was because he drank a few glasses of wine?
"What misunderstanding? I don't remember it anymore." Yuchi Pingting is such a person. Perhaps it is because of this that she was able to carry Mo Mo through those many difficult days alone.
Nangong Feiran saw that Yuchi Pingting didn't want to talk to him, so he could only sigh and stand up, and then said helplessly: "In that case, I will go back. You should be more careful."
"Your Majesty, walk slowly and see you off in a short distance."
Yuchi Pingting watched Nangong Feiran walk out of Juxianke, then stood up and returned to her room. When she saw Yuchi Pingting coming back, Feng Qingyu got up and returned to her room.
Yuchi Pingting looked at Mo Mo who was sleeping soundly. This was her greatest relief. Her son was well-behaved and sensible. But lying on the bed, Yuchi Pingting could not fall asleep for a long time. She unconsciously thought of Nangong Feiran. Obviously, he was not unintentional.
After passing this place, and thanks to his entry, Juxianke was able to avoid the fire.
But why did he come here on purpose? Was it just to say those few words to himself? And speaking to him with this attitude, was he being too mean to him?
I don't know how long it took before Yuchi Pingting began to feel sleepy.
The next morning, Prince Hui's Mansion.
Nangong Feiran got up early and went to the courtyard to exercise. He happened to see his elder brother Nangong Feiqing reading in the courtyard.
"Brother, good morning." Nangong Feiran greeted his eldest brother.
"You came back late last night, right?" Nangong Feiqing asked: "Qiao Niang came last night and I had already settled in. She originally wanted to see you, but you didn't come after waiting for a long time, so I asked her
Let’s rest first.”
"Ah, yes, I came back a little late last night." Nangong Feiran thought of what happened last night and didn't know how to tell his elder brother.
"Are you worried?" Nangong Feiqing asked. They have a deep brotherly love and can tell something about each other at a glance.
"I was on duty last night. When I came back, I went to Juxianke." Nangong Feiran said hesitantly: "Then I saw someone trying to set a fire, so I started fighting..."
"Then, does Yuchi Pingting know?" Nangong Feiqing asked.
"Of course I found out later." Nangong Feiran said with some embarrassment: "But her attitude towards me is still very cold... I don't know what's wrong with her..."
"There are many kinds of women." Nangong Feiqing said: "Some women are weak on the outside but strong on the inside; some women are strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
"So which category do you think Yuchi Pingting belongs to?" Nangong Feiran asked.
"Before that incident happened five years ago, she was a woman who was weak on the outside and weak on the inside. But now, in my opinion, she is a strong person, a real strong person who is strong on the outside and strong on the inside."
Nangong Feiran was chewing on his brother's words, and Nangong Feiqing spoke again: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, she was defiled from an innocent girl, lost the only love she carefully guarded, was ridiculed by the world, and was looked down upon by her family.
She, but she still gave birth to the child without hesitation. This is a woman's natural motherhood. Although I don't know what she has endured over the years, I am sure that many of the things she has endured may not be comparable to us.
"Nangong Feiqing said with certainty.
Hearing his brother's words, Nangong Feiran felt sympathy in his heart. In fact, he had thought of this himself, but it was really unfair to her that he was simply angry at her because of the marriage.
"By the way, what happened to the wound on your arm?" Nangong Feiqing asked: "As far as I know, no one in the seven major campuses in Luoyang City can hurt you."
"You're talking about this, it's not an injury sustained on the school ground." Nangong Feiran recalled the scene of that day again, so he said: "It was just that when I was sending the bandits on the mountain that day, I was plotted by a guy, but I had already killed him.
." Nangong Feiran said very easily.
"How did you meet the bandits so easily?" Nangong Feiqing asked.
Nangong Feiran told Nangong Feiqing what happened that day, but Qiao Niang overheard it.
"So you can always help her by chance. Do you think this is God's arrangement?" Nangong Feiqing said with a smile.
Nangong Feiran was about to answer when he saw his ex-mother coming over carrying something, and said to Qiao Niang: "Cousin, did you have a good rest last night?"
"It couldn't be better. Last night was the first time I had a good night's sleep since my father left. Cousins, I asked the kitchen to cook lotus seed porridge. You can drink it while it's hot." Qiao Niang said.
The porridge was served in front of brothers Nangong Feiqing and Nangong Feiran.
"Just tell your subordinates to do these things." Nangong Feiqing said: "You are still a master in Prince Hui's Mansion. Just treat this place as your own home."
"Haha, my sister is just cooking a bowl of porridge for her brother. I will treat this place as my home, so don't be polite." Qiao Niang said with a smile.
"Haha, we are being polite." Nangong Feiran said, picking up the porridge.
"Cousin, why is my second sister-in-law not at home all the time?" Qiao Niang asked.
"This is a very complicated matter. I don't think your second brother can explain it to you clearly for a while." Nangong Feiqing answered first.
"What's so complicated? Isn't it just that the second sister-in-law has a child? I've heard a little bit about her, but after meeting her in person, do you think she is the kind of person rumored to be?"
Neither Nangong Feiqing nor Nangong Feiran spoke.
"So, as long as you truly love each other, there is nothing to worry about those rumors in the past." Qiaoniang said: "Second brother, if you have something to say, if it's not convenient for you to say it, I can help you spread the word, but it depends on you.
I mean, do you really want your second sister-in-law to come back?"
"I..." Nangong Feiran was actually thinking, but he didn't know what was wrong with him and couldn't say it.
"Look at the way he hesitates, don't you understand?" Nangong Feiqing said with a smile.
"Haha, I know what to do." Qiao Niang also smiled.
