Chapter 211 You Can Only Depend on Me
After much consideration, Ning Fengzhe chose to say one thing and mean another.
"If you marry him, he and I will be brothers-in-law and husbands-in-law."
"Many men, after getting married, will be jealous of their natal family. Naturally, their natal family will also be concerned that you are too close to them and neglect your family."
"This is human nature. If you only look at the Ning and Mu families, you will know that the husband's family and the wife's family cannot work together."
Ning Yunxi looked puzzled.
"Is that why?"
Ning Fengzhe swallowed unconsciously.
"Ah."
"Otherwise, what else could it be?"
Ning Yunxi was a little amused.
"I thought it would be some earth-shattering reason."
Ning Fengzhe looked down and listened attentively.
"for example?"
Ning Yunxi looked embarrassed.
"I can't think of it either, that's why I'm asking you."
Ning Fengzhe laughed at himself.
"Then don't think about it. It's all just wishful thinking and worrying anyway."
Ning Yunxi greeted him with a smile that was both truthful and comforting.
"Don't be jealous, big brother. I won't marry him for now, or maybe I will never marry him."
Ning Fengzhe was confused.
"Why don't you marry?"
"Didn't you say that you admire him so much that you can't let him down anymore?"
Ning Yunxi looked at him with a sigh.
"How can a second-time bride be worthy of the favored son of heaven?"
"My brother said that divorce is a normal thing, but I don't agree with him."
"It has been a while since the governor of the state started to issue imperial decrees for divorces. Indeed, there are many people who are unhappy in their marriages. But even today, there are still people talking about it, looking down on divorced people and making fun of those who remarry."
"I wonder how long it will take for this divorce to be accepted by the world, for people to understand the misfortune and the necessity. If I can wait until that day, I will get married. If not, I will be alone for the rest of my life."
She walked gracefully in front of the piano, strumming the strings casually with her jade fingers, but the melody was filled with endless melancholy.
"All the people in the world yearn for a perfect match made in heaven, and hate the random matchmaking."
"Big brother knows very well that my brother's status is extraordinary. Once he enthrones me as emperor, he will not only become a laughing stock of the world, but will also shake the people's hearts."
"Then the Yan clan's world will be destroyed by me, right?"
"I am determined to support Yue Sheng, and I don't want to be criticized as a witch who harms the country."
Ning Fengzhe asked the question half-guessingly and half-affirmatively.
"You openly say that you are worried, but the fact is that King Dijin dislikes you for being a second bride, right?"
Ning Yunxi immediately denied it.
"No, he doesn't mind."
“It’s really me who’s worried.”
A little anxious, Ning Fengzhe is like a storm.
"He doesn't mind?"
"How could he not despise it?"
"He just made up a bunch of nonsense, do you believe it?"
Ning Yunxi emphasized the words a little more.
"He really doesn't mind!"
"In his previous life, he married me."
Ning Fengzhe looked away, his brows furrowed fiercely.
"No way!"
"How can he really mean anything to you?"
My thoughts are racing and I am speculating wildly.
"Even if he marries you, he won't be able to tell the world."
"I guess he just married you and never crowned you as empress, right?"
"Xi'er, wake up! He is just using you to seize power!"
Ning Yunxi shouted angrily.
"He is not!"
Realizing that she was being rude, she immediately lowered her eyes, and her aura weakened a bit.
"In the previous life, we used him to seize power."
"In the end, we reduced him to nothing. In the 30th year of Shengping, on the day of the strange phenomenon of the Purple Star, I personally stabbed the sharp blade into his heart and pushed him into the abyss. Not a bone was left..."
"I thought that our separation would last forever, but I didn't expect that we would have the chance to meet again."
Bi Yi was moved, and her vision gradually blurred.
"He said that he had no interest in the world and no point in calculating. As long as I left him with a breath and he could stay with me, he would not bear any grudge."
"But I still sent him away, supported Prince Chen, and ascended the throne as emperor."
"I thought I did nothing wrong in cherishing you and choosing the Ning family."
"I treat you all with the same feeling. As long as I can stay alive, even if it means I can only linger on for a short while."
Unconsciously, her eyes turned into anger, and she was as powerful as a hurricane.
"But big brother, why can't you let me go?"
"Just because I'm an adopted daughter, do I deserve to be deserted by my friends and family?"
Ning Fengzhe looked sincere and open-hearted.
"I can't guarantee what other people think."
"But I will never betray you."
"This is the truth, and God knows it. Whether you believe it or not, it cannot change it."
Seeing her crying silently, he sighed deeply, full of heartache.
"Okay, Xi'er, stop crying."
"If you say he is sincere, then he is. What you said is right, okay?"
As she spoke, she flicked her wide sleeves, indicating the view outside the window.
"Look at this mountain. Every blade of grass and every tree were specially designed by me."
"I'll drive you around the mountains to see the beautiful scenery, okay?"
Ning Yunxi felt something was wrong.
"Traveling in the mountains?"
Ning Fengzhe stared at him and nodded happily.
"Well, the scenery is pleasant and can be seen at a glance. Let's go and see it together?"
Ning Yunxi asked tentatively.
"Big brother, do you intend to jump off the carriage at the right time while we are touring the mountains, so that I will fall off the cliff with the carriage?"
Ning Fengzhe answered without hesitation.
"I told you I won't hurt you."
Ning Yunxi was suddenly shocked.
"You brought me here, but you had no intention of killing me. So you didn't get the prescription?"
Seeing that she had already noticed it, Ning Fengzhe did not deny it but spoke frankly.
"I never said I got a prescription."
Ning Yunxi became furious when she found out she had fallen into a trap.
"So you just want to hold me back."
"Is it aimed at my brother?"
"No, I have to save him!"
Seeing her gait as fast as the wind, Ning Fengzhe chased her two steps and stretched out his hand to stop her.
"You are not the only counselor around King Dijin."
"Why worry? Don't we still have the Emperor's uncle and Lin Mu?"
Ning Yunxi angrily brushed his arm away, but she was alone and weak.
"In the name of protection, you can easily imprison my uncle; by kidnapping Qiu Bi, you can deal with Lord Lin at will. You even have a way to transfer the Supervisory Office, so why worry about not being able to transfer them?"
Ning Fengzhe grabbed her wrist through her sleeve to stop her struggle.
"The plan was completed very quickly, which is really good."
"If the world knew that your strategic talent was taught by me personally, I would only feel proud."
Ning Yunxi waved her sleeves and shook off his hand in annoyance.
"I'm leaving now. I won't talk to you any more."
Ning Fengzhe raised his lips and smiled, looking very relaxed.
"You've seen what's going on down the mountain. Can you leave?"
"If you accompany me to tour the mountains, I will find a way to send you back to Beijing, okay?"
Ning Yunxi glared angrily.
"How can you help me find a solution?"
"If you have good intentions, you wouldn't bring me here!"
Ning Fengzhe seemed to be smiling, with a sly look in the curve of his eyebrows.
"Then figure it out yourself?"
Ning Yunxi closed her lips tightly, her anger surging.
Ning Fengzhe grabbed her shoulders and forced her to face him straight, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips.
"Trapped here, you can only rely on me. If you obey me, I will be willing to make plans for you."
"I'll ask you again, will you accompany me to tour the mountains?"
