Chapter 93 Visiting
Ning Yunxi touched the silver ring and took out the purse and letters that were stored in the medical space.
"My uncle and I have already known each other. This is the money he prepared for you."
"There is another letter written by him. Please have a look, sir."
Zhuang Shao didn't understand what was going on and was full of doubts.
"money for the journey?"
"Where do you want me to go, brother?"
"Is it because Madam Ning discovered my identity that I can no longer live with my brother?"
Ning Yunxi answered his doubts.
"That's what I meant."
"The uncle was trapped in a secret room for many years, without seeing the sun or having any freedom. He even had no one to rely on when he was old. It was really sad."
"I humbly believe that you should not live your life just for others and neglect yourself."
"I wonder what the Lord will think?"
Zhuang Shao sighed deeply.
"As you said, I have always longed for the day when I can walk out of the secret room, achieve my ambitions, marry and have children."
"But I am still worried about my brother's safety."
"If one day, my brother discovered my true identity, wouldn't the consequences be disastrous?"
"I think my brother entered the government to save me, and after ascending the throne, he immediately pardoned the Zhuang family."
He hesitated to speak, as if thinking about something.
"If I go to the palace and see him, and ask him to show some mercy, can I keep my brother safe?"
Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were gloomy and she shook her head.
"Absolutely impossible."
"In his early years, the emperor entered the government with the original intention of saving you."
"And then, it was to get the late queen."
"Finally, they took advantage of the situation to break out, gradually split apart, and aimed at the whole world."
"Now, the relationship between you and him is no longer just a brotherly one. You are just one of his excuses to gain power."
"If Lord Bo wants to recognize him, he must share the same hatred and betray the Yan clan like him."
"Otherwise, your life will be in danger!"
Zhuang Shao in his previous life had already tried it, so Ning Yunxi knew the consequences.
Zhuang Shao's eyes were deep and full of surging emotions.
"I understand."
"Excuse me, if I want to assist the Yan Clan, what should I do?"
Ning Yunxi was slightly startled.
"Assist the Yan Clan?"
"Is it because of my uncle that you want to follow me?"
"I thought that even if Lord Bo didn't bear grudges against the Zhuang clan during the Five Kings Rebellion, he would not have assisted the Yan clan."
"Besides, Lord Bo is the emperor's half-brother after all. If he assists the Yan clan, he might be caught in a dilemma."
Zhuang Shao said without hesitation.
"First of all, it's because he's my sworn brother. I can't possibly betray him and leave him."
"Moreover, the kindness of Emperor Dezong, a wise ruler, is beyond my ability to repay."
"The Five Kings Rebellion is just like today. Although the Zhuang clan was wronged, they also truly betrayed their master and were ungrateful."
"If you don't consider the mistakes of the past, you will repeat the mistakes of the past."
"Today, thanks to your heartfelt words, I didn't make the same mistake again."
"The Zhuang family has been Yan's subjects for generations, so I, Zhuang Shao, naturally have an obligation to do the same."
"Be careful in the face of difficulties, be fearless in the face of danger; be grateful and have no regrets in your life!"
Ning Yunxi thought for a while and came up with an idea.
"As a noble, it is not appropriate for you to enter the court."
"If Lord Bo doesn't give up, you can join the Nianren League."
"Soon, I will introduce the Nian Ren League to assist King Di Jin."
"But the martial arts sect is limited in talent and knowledge, and is illiterate. It is really a waste of talent for you, my Lord, to condescend to accept me."
Zhuang Shao could naturally tell that this was a humble statement.
"I am so ashamed of my lack of talent and knowledge. I really am trying too hard to reach the top."
In this way, Zhuang Shao changed his identity and joined the Nianren League.
The night passed.
The early morning light is gentle and elegant, and a red glow gradually appears in the sky.
Amidst the curling smoke, a faint aroma of rice wafted quietly. Ning Yunxi sniffed a few times, turned over and opened her eyes.
"smell good."
"hungry."
After hearing her voice, Qiu Bi knocked on the bedroom door.
"The princess is awake?"
Ning Yunxi responded immediately.
"Well, come in."
Qiu Bi opened the door and walked in in an orderly manner, led by a group of maids.
Ning Yunxi immediately gave orders.
"Just let them serve you, and you can go to the secret platform and take up your post."
Qiu Bi was a little worried. After thinking for a while, she nodded and agreed.
"Yes."
"I will come back as soon as possible."
Ning Yunxi waved her hands.
"Go quickly, don't waste time."
As soon as Qiu Bi left, Zhuang Wei, Zhuang Rui and Zhuang Xianhui arrived.
Ning Yunxi refused without even thinking.
"not see."
"Don't put any in."
The servant who informed him did not understand what he meant.
"Madam Ning won't let me in either?"
Ning Yunxi was slightly startled.
"My mother is here too?"
The servant nodded.
"Yes."
Ning Yunxi changed her words reluctantly.
"Please come in, everyone."
After all, Mu Rong and she still have a mother-daughter relationship. Since her mother came to see her, she naturally had no reason to refuse.
After washing and dressing up, Ning Yunxi went to the front hall to meet them.
After crossing the threshold, she first bowed to Mu Rong, and then greeted the other three people.
"Mother is fine. I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I'm sorry."
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Mu Rong reached out with both hands and gently helped Ning Yunxi up.
"The ground is cold, stop kneeling and sit down."
The three people from the Zhuang Mansion responded respectfully according to etiquette.
"Princess Yuexi is here to receive your blessings."
Ning Yunxi smiled back.
"Please take a seat."
After everyone sat down, Mu Rong smiled and looked at Ning Yunxi.
"The Zhuang and Ning families are about to become in-laws. The families of both sides need to meet before it is official."
"Your father is hosting a banquet and will arrange for the two families to meet at noon today. I thought Yuexi Mansion is far away and it might be inconvenient for you to come, so I brought the three of them to meet him."
"As for Lord Zhuang and Madam Zhuang, you should understand that they are both elders. It is unavoidably impolite to personally visit them when you first meet them."
"When you are free, go to the Zhuang Mansion to pay a visit. Remember to follow the proper etiquette, otherwise the Earl will be disappointed and think that our Ning Mansion does not value this marriage."
"If you have any difficulty choosing a gift, just send someone to tell me and I will prepare it for you and have someone send it to you. It's the same thing."
Without waiting for Ning Yunxi's reply, Mu Rong turned to the three people from the Zhuang Mansion and showed a hint of shame.
"I have explained a lot to you, please forgive me for making you laugh."
"My Xi'er is a bit willful and doesn't pay attention to trivial matters at home. So every morning, I have to remind her several times to prevent her from forgetting and being rude and offending others."
"Xi'er is willful because I didn't discipline her enough. If she has done anything wrong, please bear with me. I thank you on behalf of my daughter."
Ning Yunxi was angry.
Every time the mother said this, the listeners would question Ning Yunxi in harsh words.
"Your mother is not as cold and heartless as you say."
"I think she's very nice to you."
"There are only ignorant children in the world, how can there be ruthless and heartless parents?"
"You are really too willful and naughty."
