Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 49

In the afternoon of midsummer, the heat gathers in the yard, and the maids and servants everywhere stay indoors and don't like to go out if they can hide.

Therefore, from the outside, the huge Zhenyuan Hou Mansion was lifeless.

Ningxiang went back to Lengmei Pavilion from the corner gate, the gatekeeper woman saw the celebrity next to Shizi, and reminded her with a smile, "Miss Ningxiang is back, this morning Shizi went to the lake with Miss Biao, and Miss Suyue also went By the way, let me let you know that I'm having dinner at a restaurant outside tonight."

Ning Xiang was a little distracted when she heard this, and she nodded her thanks in a daze for a moment.

She couldn't remember if there was such a thing in her previous life.

But Ning Xiang felt lucky to see Pei Jinghan later, even if it was only delayed for an hour or two.

The east ear room was spacious and bright, Ning Xiang was thirsty all the way, put the burden on the couch, and poured tea first.The tea was the best Longjing tea that Pei Jinghan gave them. It was fragrant and slightly sweet. After taking a couple of sips, I caught a glimpse of finely chopped melon seeds under the table.Guessing that Su Yue must be cracking melon seeds again before going out, Ning Xiang shook her head and smiled, took the broom to sweep the floor, and wiped the table by the way.

Coming in again, Ningxiang went straight to the burden.

Unpacking the burden, the first thing I saw were two fat round stones the size of goose eggs.

Ning Xiang couldn't help laughing, picked up a stone and looked at it in the palm of her hand.

It was picked up by Anan. When the little guy found this stone, he excitedly yelled balls at her, and then dragged her to look for other "eggs" in the water. In the end, he found another egg-shaped stone .After resting for a while, she packed her bag, and An Nana asked her to put two "eggs" in it, and gave it to her.

Ning Xiang refused once, but then she accepted this childlike gift when she thought that she might never see the little guy again.

Putting the stone aside, she was going to show it to Su Yue at night, and she said it was given by A Mu. Just as Ning Xiang was about to pack her clothes, she suddenly found that there seemed to be something bulging inside the clothes.

Staring at the protruding place, Ning Xiang suddenly remembered that when she got out of the car with her luggage, she felt that the luggage seemed a bit heavy, but at that time she was worried about how to say goodbye to Lu Cheng, and knew that there were two extra yuan in the luggage. The small stone, she subconsciously attributed the weight to the stone.

"Then redeem yourself early, redeem yourself, and live a comfortable life every day."

Before parting, Lu Cheng's last words rang in his ears without warning.

Ning Xiang stared at that place, her fair face blushed quickly.

Holding the last sliver of hope, holding on to the hope that A Tao might have stuffed something in, Ning Xiang slowly unfolded her bellyband.

When exactly did he let it in?
Even if he insists on giving her money to redeem her body, can't he put it somewhere else?
A mouthful of silver teeth was almost crushed, but in the end he couldn't curse out.

Ningxiang can tell the difference.

It's a pity that she is destined to let down Lu Cheng's painstaking efforts.

After putting away her clothes, Ning Xiang put the money bag into her cuff, and left the Hou Mansion wearing the farm clothes.

She knew which street the Xu family lived in, but Ningxiang didn't go there, but went to Xinglong Street in the city.There is the only Xianyun chess club in Fucheng. Ning Xiang had noticed it before when she went out with Pei Jinghan. Later, when her aunt mentioned that Uncle Lu Cheng's third uncle married Xu's family opened a chess club, Ning Xiang guessed it was this one.

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all elegant things. There are three shops in Xianyun Chess Club. There are several tables of guests sitting inside. Some people play chess, and some stand by and watch chess.

Seeing Ningxiang, a young man walked over quickly after being amazed, and asked softly, "Is the girl here to find someone?"

He has been a buddy in the chess club for three years, and he has never seen a woman come to play chess.

Ning Xiang nodded, glanced inside, and asked in a low voice, "I'm from the same town as shopkeeper Lu, and his family asked me to send a message to him."

The shopkeeper is indeed from the countryside. The shopkeeper looked at Ningxiang again, and saw that the little girl was clean and gentle, not like a vixen who specializes in seducing men, so he asked Ningxiang to go with him, went to the second floor, and stopped at a door. In front of the door, he said loudly: "Shopkeeper, a girl came to you and said she was from your hometown, and she sent you a message."

Lu Ji'an was sitting at the desk reading the chess record, raised his eyebrows in surprise, put down the game record and looked towards the door, "Come in."

The voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a zither in an empty valley.

Ning Xiang suddenly thought of the looks of the Lu family brothers, they are all from the same family, so the third uncle Lu Cheng must not be much different, right?
The boy pushed open the door and motioned her to go in.

Ning Xiang was inexplicably nervous, she walked in with her eyes downcast, took two steps, and then raised her eyes.

Sitting in front of the desk was a handsome man wearing a light gray summer gown with embroidered cloud patterns. He was about thirty years old, with delicate features, and a pair of peach blossom eyes similar to Lu Cheng showed his identity.Facing the man's surprised gaze, Ningxiang smiled cautiously, looked at the ground and explained awkwardly: "Master Lu, actually, I, I have met your nephew Lu Cheng a few times, and he knows that I need money. He gave me 20 taels, but I deserve it, so please help me return it to him.”

After speaking, as if afraid of the man's rejection, Ning Xiang quickly put Lu Cheng's money bag on the desk, and left in a hurry without hearing what the man said.

Lu Cheng had such a good relationship with his third uncle's family, so he gave the 20 taels of parrot to Anan, and she believed that his third uncle would not be greedy for the money.

The little girl came like the wind and left like the wind, Lu Ji'an picked up the purse on the table with a smile in his eyes.

His nephew was very stubborn. He used to refuse to take money from them no matter how poor he was, but now he is very generous in giving money to girls.

Guessing that his nephew probably went to the city, Lu Ji'an collected the money bag and sent someone to prepare the carriage.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Xu's house.

Lu Cheng planned to stay at the third uncle's house tonight, and went back tomorrow morning. He was waking up his son who lost his temper because he didn't see Ningxiang. When he heard that the third uncle had returned, he smiled and hugged Anan to see his third grandfather.

Anan didn't take this kind of thing, even when he met the young third grandfather, he didn't show any face, and kept his chubby little face sullen.

"Who is bullying our Anan again?" Lu Ji'an took his nephew and grandson into his arms, teasing him affectionately.

Anan hugged the third grandpa's neck, and called his mother aggrievedly.

Lu Ji'an guessed that the little girl just now should be the mother his nephew found for him.

To avoid his nephew's embarrassment, Lu Ji'an handed Anan to his wife, Xu Shi, and asked Lu Cheng to talk outside, without going around in circles, he just revealed the money bag.

When Lu Cheng saw it, his face immediately sank.

He was smart, and secretly gave her money, but he didn't expect her to be more ruthless. Knowing that he would not accept it, he went straight to the third uncle.

"Whose girl is that? Why do you need so much money?" Lu Ji'an patted his nephew on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Lu Cheng's thin lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't want to say a word. She showed that she didn't want to accept his love, so it was useless for him to say more.

After apologizing to his elders, Lu Cheng strode back to the guest room.

Lu Ji'an watched his nephew's stern back, and suddenly smiled.

The year before last, my nephew suddenly wanted to marry Miss Feng, and he insisted that he liked Miss Feng, but he didn't see how much affection his nephew had for Miss Feng. Today, his nephew just changed his face, and he knew that this time his nephew really got the hang of it.

Lengmei Pavilion.

Ning Xiang ate dinner by herself, and after the meal, she sat alone in the upper hall and was lost in thought. After sitting there for some time, it was already dark outside, and only then did she hear movement in the yard.Knowing that Pei Jinghan was back, Ningxiang clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and greeted her out calmly. She was about to walk to the door when she suddenly heard Suyue let out a low cry.

Thinking that something happened to Suyue, Ningxiang immediately quickened her pace, turned to the door to look out, but saw Pei Jinghan holding Suyue's waist tightly and kissing her under the dim light.Su Yue struggled anxiously, Pei Jinghan refused to let go, but slowly raised his head as if he just remembered something.

Ningxiang saw the threat of indifference in those familiar phoenix eyes.

Did she see it on purpose?
Do he want her to understand that as long as she obeys, he can get his favor, or tell her that she and Su Yue are both maidservants, and he can do whatever he wants to them?

Ning Xiang silently lowered her eyes.

"Go down, Ningxiang will serve me tonight." Pei Jinghan gently stroked Suyue's hair, and said lightly.

Su Yue knew that Pei Jinghan was going to force Ning Xiang to make a statement tonight, straightened her clothes, and told Ning Xiang nonchalantly, "I have a few more cups at the banquet for the prince, remember to prepare sober tea for the prince." There was a little smile in her voice, and she finished speaking and left.

She is not worried that Ningxiang will suffer a big loss tonight. This girl has no other ability, but the ability to soften Pei Jinghan's heart is the strongest. When she cries and begs, Pei Jinghan is reluctant to be overbearing. She bowed, just like In her previous life, it was not until Shen Youyou provoked Pei Jinghan that she really went crazy.

Su Yue left, Ning Xiang looked at the man slowly approaching, and said in a low voice, "I'll go and pour tea for the crown prince."

Pei Jinghan didn't say a word, but closed the door behind his back after entering the room.

Ning Xiang had already walked to the table, and when she heard the movement, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Have you figured it out?" Pei Jinghan stopped three steps behind her, looked at the little girl's fair side face, and asked in a cold voice.

A faint smell of alcohol drifted over with the man's words.

Ningxiang's hand that was about to touch the teapot couldn't help but stop. She turned around, looked at Pei Jinghan, and asked calmly, "Your Majesty wants to accept me with all his heart, so you're not afraid that Cousin girl will be sad?"

She still used this as an excuse, Pei Jinghan walked up to her with a smile, and said condescendingly: "You know why I brought Su Yue with me today when I went to the lake with my cousin? I just want to let my cousin know that I like her I am willing to marry her, but I can't stop taking concubines because of her. Don't worry, Ningxiang, the cousin said, as long as you do your duty, she doesn't mind if I give you some favors."

In the situation of my aunt's family, it is a blessing for my cousin to marry him, so there is no need to care about whether he has a concubine.

His eyes moved down and fell on the beauty's ruddy lips. Pei Jinghan reached out to hug her, "What else do you have to worry about now?"

Ning Xiang didn't hide, and asked him close to her chest: "If in the future, the cousin girl is sad because the son dotes on me and Su Yue, and is depressed during pregnancy, so that she will give birth prematurely in July and give birth to a stillborn boy? , the prince also insists on pampering me and Su Yue?"

Pei Jinghan's body froze, he withdrew his hand, and stared at her closely, "What do you mean?"

The man's complexion was ugly, and the majesty of the prince of the Hou family was completely pressed down on her at this moment. Ningxiang's palms were sweating, but thinking of Lu Cheng's calm and calm look when he lied, she stabilized her mind and faced Pei Jing coldly. eyes, and continued.
