In the study room late at night, the couple sat opposite each other feeling melancholy. The flowers placed on the tables beside them swayed in the night wind, emitting their fragrance.
These are new flowers specially arranged today. Not only Ning Yan's study room, but also the Ning family's courtyard have been re-arranged, with flowers placed and red silk hung, in order to celebrate Ning Yunzhao's inscription on the gold list.
But now that the flowers and red silk are all there, there is no sense of celebration at all.
"Why didn't you stop him then?" Mrs. Ning Er complained a little.
Ning Yan frowned.
"How did I know he was going to do something like this?" He said, "What he said was very good at the time."
There are really no signs at all.
Moreover, what they were talking about at that time was the emperor's attitude and purpose in this matter.
Others don't know the consequences of this matter, how can Ning Yunzhao not know it?
No matter what you think, you shouldn't do this.
No matter how you said it, you suddenly stood up.
Every time Ning Yan thinks about it, it feels like a dream.
"Yunzhao is not the kind of person who causes trouble for the family." Mrs. Ning Er also couldn't understand.
Her words reminded Ning Yan.
"Because he doesn't think it is causing trouble to the family." Ning Yan said with a helpless smile.
Mrs. Ning Er naturally knew what Ning Yunzhao said, and her expression was complicated.
"Is it as serious as he said if he didn't come forward at that time?" she said.
Who knows, there is no such thing anymore.
Ning Yan knocked on the table.
"That's not important anymore." He exhaled. "The most important thing now is that we can't deny it, otherwise the consequences will be really serious."
If the new top scholar competes with others for women, then the Ning family will really become a joke. Officials will be impeached, and the emperor will be angry, which will make the Ning family miserable.
"Then you really admit it?" Mrs. Ning Er said.
"I admit it," Ning Yan said, "and I have to admit it seriously, and I have to keep it a secret even at home."
What is this? Mrs. Ning Er reached out and pinched her eyebrows.
"Sister-in-law is ready to marry Yunzhao when she is named on the gold medal list. We will get married in the autumn and have a grandson next year." She said, "Now it's good..."
Having said this, he raised his head again.
"Then how long do they plan to take leave? We Yunzhao can't afford to delay it."
Ning Yan twisted his beard.
"Actually, it's okay if it comes true." He said.
Mrs. Ning Er raised her hand and hit him on the arm.
"Sir, what are you talking about?" She raised her voice.
Ning Yan coughed lightly.
"Actually speaking, Miss Jun is not bad. I heard you said her behavior was ridiculous before, probably because of her young age. But now it seems..." he said.
"It doesn't seem possible now." Mrs. Ning Er immediately interrupted him, "This is impossible."
Look at Ning Yan.
"I know you men prefer to weigh the pros and cons and don't know or consider emotional matters at all."
Ning Yan coughed lightly.
Mrs. Ning Er didn't give him a chance to speak.
"No matter how good Miss Jun is now, my sister-in-law will never agree to it," she said, "Don't even think about it."
Ning Yan naturally knew Mrs. Ning's temper. Sometimes dealing with women was more troublesome than government affairs.
Ning Yan looked down at the desks covered with letter paper.
"Then let's announce the good news first." He said, "We can't delay it any longer."
No matter how long it takes, the good news from the government has arrived, but their own has not yet arrived.
"You mean to hide this matter from my sister-in-law and the others first?" Mrs. Ning Er said, shaking her head again, "How could you hide such a big thing?"
Miss Jun's vaccination reputation is famous, Lu Qianhu, Cheng Guogong's eldest son are also famous, not to mention the new number one scholar, these four people mixed together, it is much more lively and attractive than the new number one scholar.
One can imagine what everyone was talking about when Ning Yunzhao was paraded through the streets five days later.
Ning Yan felt his headache getting worse.
"You can hide it as long as you can. Let's go back and tell our elder brothers and sisters-in-law about this in person," he said.
Mrs. Ning Er looked at Ning Yan writing a letter with a complicated expression.
This matter will certainly not be hidden for long.
What will happen to Mrs. Ning when she learns the news?
The letter from the Ning family was a little later than that from Deshengchang. While the letter from the Ning family was still on the way, Fang Chengyu had already received the letter.
"This is really good news. You don't have to go to the capital to pretend to be pitiful." Fang Yuxiu said after listening to Fang Chengyu's story, stroking her hands.
Except for Fang Chengyu, all the people sitting in the Fang family's hall were women.
When they heard the good news from Fang Yuxiu, their faces were not filled with joy, but instead showed surprise and uneasiness that they had not seen for a long time.
"What's going on?" Fang Yunxiu said, holding his hands together and looking nervous.
"This is a good thing." Fang Yuxiu said, "If Mr. Ning Shi, the number one scholar, comes forward, no one will dare to bully my cousin. It is much more effective than my younger brother going to the capital to cry and complain about his poor life and his wife being robbed."
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Chengyu who was standing aside.
"Isn't that right, Chengyu?"
Fang Chengyu sat crookedly in his chair and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes." He said, "This is a good thing. I didn't expect Mr. Ning Shi to come forward. Now the problem is solved."
When Fang Yunxiu heard him say that the problem was solved, she breathed a sigh of relief and clasped her hands and recited the Buddha's name.
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang frowned even more.
"What do the Ning family want to do?" Old Mrs. Fang asked with some caution.
"What does Mr. Ning Shi mean?" Mrs. Fang also asked.
Fang Chengyu laughed and sat upright in his chair.
"Grandma, mother, if you do this, Young Master Ning Shi will be sad." He said, "He has no other intention, he just wants to help Jiuling. His identity and the past relationship with Jiuling are all the most suitable. No
It will arouse suspicion and suppress the matter."
"Of course I know that his identity is very suitable, and he did it reasonably." Old Mrs. Fang said, with a guarded expression, "I asked him why he did this?"
"Yes, why did he do that?" Mrs. Fang asked again.
Fang Chengyu seemed a little helpless.
"Of course I'm helping Jiuling," he said.
"That's right." Mrs. Fang said again, "Why is he helping Jiuling?"
"Yes, is he crazy?" Mrs. Fangda said simply.
Fang Yuxiu chuckled.
"Grandma, mother, you are really hurting Master Ning Shi like this." She said, "Since you say you are helping, you must be doing it with good intentions. Don't doubt me like this."
Good intentions?
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang still looked strange.
Why does this word sound so weird when used with Mr. Ning Shi and Miss Jun?
Where did the good intentions come from? Why? Because of the farce of the divorce, or because of the fight between the two young ladies in Jinyun House and Ninglin, one of whom got married and the other was ruined?
"Grandmother," Fang Yuxiu smiled and held their hands, "If you don't believe in Mr. Ning Shi, don't you still believe in your cousin?"
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang looked at her.
"She said she was helping, so of course she was." Fang Yuxiu said, "She is such a clever person. If Mr. Ning Shi did something wrong, how could she say such a thing?"
That's true. Mrs. Fangyao and Mrs. Fang sighed in relief and nodded.
"So, this matter must have been discussed between my cousin and Young Master Ning Shi." Fang Jinxiu said, "Maybe it was my cousin's idea."
Maybe Jun Zhenzhen forced or designed Young Master Ning Shi to do this.
Mrs. Fang also added something in her mind.
Just like when they tricked other girls into buying Zhu Chai, the Jinyun Tower asked Lin Ning and other girls to shoot themselves in the foot, and made the Lin master dare not say anything more.
"This child is really doing one thing after another." She said, even so, the uneasiness and tension on her face disappeared, "I can't control it."
Mrs. Fang also shook her head and helped Mrs. Fang go.
There were three siblings left here, and Fang Yuxiu walked to Fang Chengyu's side.
"Xiaoyu, sister, how can I treat you well?" she said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Why did you say this inexplicably? Fang Yunxiu looked at her in confusion.
