Chapter 328 If He Is Really Serious, Of Course He Will Marry

Ning Jiewei casually touched her face with her slender hands.

"What did you draw?"

Feeling a hint of moisture on the fingertips of her right hand, she hurried to the mirror, leaned over to take a look, and was immediately shocked and angry.

"Why is my face painted again? Before the Prince Chen's Mansion was sealed, there were also ink marks on my face!"

"Big brother is back?!"

"Why does he like to paint my face so much? It's so boring!"

Ning Yunxi calmly told the facts.

"It wasn't drawn by big brother. When I first came in, I saw your face was still clean. Then we said a few words and it became like this."

Ning Jiewei was in self-doubt for a while.

"Isn't it him? Then last time..."

After a little thought, she spoke in a firm tone and insisted.

"It must have been him last time!"

"Even if it wasn't him, it was because he was so cunning that he made me copy it. Otherwise, how could there be a trace of ink?"

Ning Yunxi gazed at him lovingly and agreed.

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ning Jiewei was distressed.

"What should I do now? After washing the ink, I have to put on makeup again. I'm afraid it will delay the live broadcast time, right?"

Ning Yunxi smiled faintly and handled the situation with ease.

"Don't worry, Fourth Sister. I'll go mix the potion and remove the ink marks for you."

Ning Jiewei has a lovely smile.

"Thank you sister."

Ning Yunxi left a few words and touched the silver ring.

"Be good, wait for me for a moment."

Not long after, she left the space with a porcelain bottle and a cotton swab in her hand. She carefully cleaned the ink off her sister's face and started talking about her older brother again.

"My brother has no doubt about my trust in you. He insists that my elder brother is plotting against Lord Xu for our sake."

"In my opinion, Lord Xu favors you, and there is no denying that. However, with my elder brother involved, this matter is not simple."

Ning Jiewei was confused for a moment.

"incite defection?"

She thought carefully about her sister's words and soon came to a conclusion.

"Sister, are you saying that big brother wants to use me to sway Lord Xu? No wonder he said that night... he didn't want to, he really meant it."

"Is the prince still in a dream? How could the elder brother be on our side? He must have told me this to make the prince think that Lord Xu favors him and that he can change his mind, so as to relax our vigilance!"

Ning Yunxi had a myriad of worries lingering in his heart, and his face was gloomy and he looked unhappy.

"I thought so too, but no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, my lips were dry and my tongue was dry, but he just wouldn't accept my advice."

"Alas, I don't know what kind of infatuation elder brother fed him, why is he so stubborn and unwilling to change his mind?"

"Last night, he used the incident at the Xu Mansion to try to prove that Big Brother was sincere. I wanted to turn the tables, but Big Brother was telling the truth. As a result, we were busy until late at night, and Big Brother didn't suspect anything and trusted me even more."

Ning Jiewei gently stroked her sister's shoulder and comforted her with soft words.

"Sister, why should I bother with this? It's exhausting and not pleasing. Anyway, my elder brother has disappeared and may never come back. If the prince insists on trusting me, then let him do it."

Ning Yunxi seemed confident, but in fact, there was a hint of trust between his hesitations.

"But he will come back."

Ning Jiewei couldn't see through her sister's thoughts and only hoped that her older brother would not have a good life.

"That's wrong. I think that since he left without saying goodbye for so long, maybe he has already..."

Just thinking about it made her feel ecstatic. She stopped abruptly, covered her lips with her hands, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a long time, her sister didn't smile at all, so she quickly stopped laughing and turned to comfort her.

"Don't worry, sister. When I get married, I will be a lobbyist. With my ability, I can persuade Lord Xu and make him sincerely join me. Even if you are involved, it will be in vain."

Knowing that she cared about him, Ning Yunxi's face was bright with happiness. He recalled the previous words and joked deliberately.

"I don't know who said the other day that you don't want to marry him because of his age?"

Ning Jiewei followed her heart and subconsciously told the truth.

"If he is sincere, of course I will marry him..."

As she spoke, she felt that she was being selfish and totally unconcerned about her sister, which was inappropriate. She pulled herself together and expressed her righteousness.

"For my sister and the government, I must get married!"

Ning Yunxi was amused and smiled, reaching out and pinching her face.

"You."

Thinking that her sister cared about her appearance, she took out the powder she carried with her and meticulously touched up her makeup.

"Let's put my elder brother's plan aside for now; I am also reluctant to let you marry Lord Xu."

Ning Jiewei tilted her head and blinked, and her beauty became even more charming.

"Why?"

Ning Yunxi's smile gradually faded, and a trace of sadness flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.

"Last night, Lord Gao Jing found out that Madam Xu and Miss Xu were plotting to stop you from marrying into the Xu family. If you marry, there will be constant turmoil in the harem."

"In addition, the relationship between them is a little complicated. I haven't been able to fully investigate it yet. I only preliminarily learned that Miss Xu's siblings might be the prince or princess."

Knowing that they were not Xu Mingqian's children, Ning Jiewei's eyebrows moved slightly, but she was not too surprised.

It turned out to be a prince and princess. No wonder Lord Xu didn't dare to say it clearly.

After thinking about it, she asked.

"Mrs. Xu and her daughter, how are you going to deal with me?"

Ning Yunxi answered truthfully.

"They originally wanted to tease you and make Lord Xu misunderstand you as a casual person, but their plan failed. With nothing else to do, they made a plan and took the initiative to approach Uncle Shao."

Ning Jiewei smiled indifferently.

"What's the point of being close to my foster father?"

Ning Yunxi's analysis is concise and to the point.

"To the outside world, Uncle Shao is a descendant of the Fang clan. They are desperate and want to ask Uncle Shao for help to find a solution."

Ning Jiewei was relaxed and comfortable, without a worried look on her face.

"My foster father is just a show-off. He looks handsome, but he has no knowledge. How can he have any ideas?"

Ning Yunxi had a dignified demeanor and her tone remained gentle.

"How can there be a saying that someone has no knowledge but talent? Uncle Shao's intelligence is higher than that of ordinary people."

Ning Jiewei and Yun Ni were looking forward to it and asked questions earnestly.

"what about me?"

Ning Yunxi smiled gently and answered seriously.

"You are also a talented person, different from ordinary people."

Ning Jiewei sighed in despair and suddenly felt inferior to herself.

"Sister, your praise is high, but it is just empty talk. In reality, he cannot beat his sworn brother, and I cannot beat my eldest brother. We are both fools, father and daughter."

Ning Yunxi felt helpless after hearing this.

"Why are you so decisive? My uncle and elder brother are both geniuses of the time. If compared with them, I am no match for them."

Ning Jiewei shook her head and emphasized seriously.

"That's not right. In my heart, my sister is unparalleled in wisdom and intelligence. No one has ever been able to match her from ancient times to the present."

As she spoke, she comforted her sister.

"Mrs. Xu and her daughter have bad intentions, so you don't need to worry. Not to mention that my foster father has no ideas, even if he does, they can't do it. My foster father is calm and indifferent to me, so how could he be interested in Miss Xu?"

Ning Yunxi corrected.

"It's not Miss Xu who is in charge, but Madam Xu."

Ning Jiewei was shocked at first, then she clapped her hands and laughed.

"what?"

"Hahaha, you are overestimating yourself. Your godfather will surely look down on you!"

Just as she was about to make some sarcastic remarks, she heard Zhuang Shao knock on the door and come in.

"Xi'er, Wei'er, I'm going out to meet someone and will be back as soon as possible. Please pay more attention to the store's affairs."

Ning Jiewei was stunned.

"what?"

At this point in the conversation, her stepfather happened to be meeting someone, and she felt something was wrong, so she asked.

"Who is Godfather going to see?"
