Chapter 358 Already Married
Ning Jiewei immediately put away her grievances, stood up tremblingly, and took a half step back.
"What? I won't marry him. I want to marry Mr. Xu."
Qiu Bi's tone was anxious.
"Now that things have come to this, how can you still marry Lord Xu?"
She made up her mind secretly, her eyes were as firm as a rock, resolute and even a little bit hateful.
"We must persuade Lord Lin to marry you. If he doesn't want to, it will be unjust!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Jiewei regained her confidence and smiled happily.
"You also think that he shouldn't admire me?"
Qiu Bi's words were sonorous and passionate.
"Since I want to marry you, I must love you and cherish you! How can I just walk away from what I have done?"
She held Ning Jiewei's hand, caressed it gently to comfort her, and kept her promise.
"Fourth Miss, don't worry, I will report this to the prince and ask him to make the decision."
Ning Jiewei's gloomy mood disappeared and she now smiled sweetly.
"That's not necessary."
Qiu Bi couldn't laugh and was still indignant.
"The fourth girl is kind-hearted, and you can't let him bully you. Tonight, you saved my life, and I will go through fire and water to repay you."
There was a hint of charm in Ning Jiewei's eyes, as if colorful butterflies were dancing in them, and she was smiling from ear to ear, extremely charming.
"Then you can persuade him to speak his mind and express his love to me."
Qiu Bi was shocked.
"That's all...?"
Fourth girl, don’t you care about your reputation at all?
She thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion in her mind.
It seems that the fourth girl really doesn't care about fame.
It was fine before, I had no reason to warn or persuade her, as we were enemies. But now the Fourth Miss has been so kind to both the Princess and me, how can I just sit there and watch?
What's more, she just cried and was almost heartbroken. How could I just sit there and watch?
Lin Mu, you dared to hurt her like this, you are a piece of shit!
Humph, I was blind and misjudged him!
Compared to Qiu Bi's grief-stricken expression, Ning Jiewei looked relaxed and chatted and laughed carefreely.
"Well, that's what I want."
Qiu Bi quickly refuted and was furious.
"How can that be done?!"
Seeing that she was neatly dressed, Ning Jiewei took her hand and urged her on.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Lord Lin has told us not to stay here for long. I think there are still many dangers. Let's go quickly."
Qiu Bi got out of bed and followed her out of the guest room, giving her instructions over and over again.
"Well, okay, but you must not be careless about your affairs..."
Ning Jiewei interrupted her in time, fearing that the secret guards might hear her and report it to Xu Mingqian, causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
"Let's talk first, get on the carriage. Be good, Mr. Gao."
Just like that, the two of them got on Ning Jiewei's carriage, and the hidden guards followed Xu Mingqian's orders, riding on horses to escort them back to the mansion.
Ning Jiewei looked around, confirmed the position of the hidden guards on both sides, closed the small window of the carriage, and then dared to speak without worry.
"I won't marry him, so don't try to persuade me."
Qiu Bi lowered her eyes, and Qi Qi felt heartbroken as if a knife was cutting her heart.
"Then what should you do about the injustice you have suffered?"
Ning Jiewei leisurely adjusted her skirt with her delicate hands, paying particular attention to her pretty face.
"I've already been wronged. If I marry him again, won't I be wronged even more?"
In Qiu Bi's eyes, her relaxed attitude seemed like she was pretending to be strong.
"When I get married, if he treats me like this, it won't be considered unfair, right?"
Ning Jiewei opened the wooden box beside the seat, took out the snacks from the food box, and handed a plate to Qiu Bi first.
"Why don't you say it's unfair? If he does this every day, I'll be so aggrieved!"
Qiu Bi took the snack and put it aside, not in the mood to enjoy the delicacy at all.
"Master Lin...are you so incapable of treating women with sympathy?"
Ning Jiewei started eating without any worries.
"That's right. It's totally unreasonable."
The brighter her smile, the more Qiu Bi felt guilty and remorseful.
"Fourth Miss, I'm sorry."
Ning Jiewei took out a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of dessert, and fed it to her with her own hands.
"You did nothing wrong, why do you always have to apologize?"
Qiu Bi gave him face, took a bite of the dessert, and forced a warm smile.
"This is all my fault. It's all my fault."
Ning Jiewei smiled helplessly.
"You are also a victim, what's your fault? You don't know that when you were sleeping just now, he was very disgusted with you."
Qiu Bi was humble and asked in confusion.
"Why do you say that?"
Ning Jiewei ate some snacks and chatted about family matters.
"I asked him, if you wanted him to take the antidote, would he agree?"
Qiu Bi was heartbroken.
"How did he say?"
Ning Jiewei pouted and complained.
"He doesn't answer me!"
Qiu Bi sighed silently.
"I think so. Don't you want to?"
Ning Jiewei spoke casually without thinking.
"I think so."
"He doesn't seem to like you, but he favors me."
Qiu Bi is calm and soft.
“How come you see?”
Ning Jiewei was used to it, so she used this as an excuse to praise her own appearance, and felt satisfied after she finished speaking.
"I asked him if he longed for me, thought about me every day, and couldn't sleep every night. He was deeply moved and tacitly agreed with me."
"He also said that he wanted to watch my live broadcast and asked me to make an appointment."
"I advised him to concentrate on his studies, saying that Mr. Gao might get angry. He didn't listen and insisted that you were not virtuous."
"Listen to what he said! It's really too much!"
Qiu Bi believed it and a hint of self-mockery appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that Lord Lin really likes you."
Hearing the praise, Ning Jiewei smiled proudly.
"That's right! Is there any man in the world who doesn't like me?"
Qiu Bi had no jealousy in her heart, only pity and love.
"Then why do you insist that you don't want to marry him?"
Ning Jiewei gave a reason as a matter of course.
"If I express my feelings for you, do I have to marry you? There are many men who like me, but I am alone, how can I marry them?"
Knowing that the fourth girl was pure in thought and did not understand much about things, Qiu Bi gave her earnest advice and spoke from the heart.
"How can others compare? After all, you are already husband and wife."
"Although Lord Xu also showed some affection, the situation at that time was special and cannot be compared with the situation today..."
Finally realizing something was wrong, Ning Jiewei interrupted in surprise.
"Wait a moment!"
Feeling that she had heard it wrong, she asked to confirm.
"Are you saying that Lord Lin and I are already husband and wife?"
Qiu Bi nodded heavily.
"Yes."
Ning Jiewei was so shocked that her body shook along with the carriage and she almost lost her seat.
"How come I don't know about such a big thing?"
Qiu Bi helped her in time, and her expression was shocked.
Sensing that there was a misunderstanding, she suppressed her shyness and tried to ask directly.
"Why do you say that? You just complained about him being inappropriate with you... on the desk... didn't you?"
Ning Jiewei understood what he meant, her face turned pale with astonishment, and she denied it loudly and quickly.
"of course not!"
She used both hands to vividly describe what had just happened.
"He just treated me indifferently, just like leaving you alone..."
Qiu Bi listened attentively and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hey, Fourth Miss, what can I say to you?"
"Why do you care so much about your appearance? No matter how others view you or comment on you, it cannot change the fact that you are naturally beautiful."
"If the Fourth Miss looks down on herself like this, then shouldn't we, who are mediocre in qualifications, feel even more ashamed of ourselves?"
