Chapter 386 Big Brother Returns

Chapter 386 Big Brother Returns

Zhuang Rui searched all the rooms in Bingqingyuan but still couldn't find his elder brother.

After careful observation, he guessed that his eldest brother wanted to avoid the crowd and return to the main entrance through the small path. He followed the path and indeed saw Zhuang Wei.

At this time, Zhuang Wei watched Luo Yu walking farther and farther away, reluctant to leave, and looked up at her boudoir window.

Seeing that his elder brother was about to leave, Zhuang Rui called out hurriedly.

Thinking of his future mother-in-law by his side, he acted like a modest gentleman.

"My dearest brother, please stay!"

When the person recognized the voice, Zhuang Wei's warmth suddenly disappeared and he got goose bumps all over his body.

"Uh……"

Turning around and seeing Wei Chushuang and her entourage, Zhuang Wei smiled helplessly, understood what they meant, took the initiative to walk over and help explain the reason.

Hearing that the tone of voice was consistent, Wei Chushuang readily dispelled her doubts. After a brief greeting, she said goodbye and left.

Zhuang Rui pretended to straighten his clothes and bowed according to the rules, being humble and respectful.

"Please take care, Madam Teng. I cannot see you off for long. Please forgive me."

Zhuang Wei was appropriately simple in his etiquette and was polite in his ordinary way.

"Farewell, Madam Teng."

After confirming that she had gone far away, Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask questions.

"Brother, why are you staying here instead of going back to the main entrance?"

Seeing his second brother return to normal, Zhuang Wei smiled comfortably.

"I've lost the competition. Let's go. I'll buy you a meal."

Zhuang Rui looked puzzled when he heard this.

"The outcome has not yet been decided, why are you saying this?"

Out of habit, Zhuang Wei did not give a direct answer.

"You win, I surrender."

Zhuang Rui couldn't help but be curious and looked around to search for clues.

"Big brother is so accommodating to the younger brother, what happened?"

Zhuang Wei hid his feelings and was unwilling to tell others.

"nothing."

Zhuang Rui naturally didn't believe it and made a bold guess.

"No way."

"Could it be that in the blink of an eye, you met a sincere woman, and you invited me to dinner to express your gratitude?"

Zhuang Wei's face was gloomy and filled with anger.

"Don't test my brother's feelings."

"Tell me, where do you choose? If you ask more questions, the competition is over. I will go back home and have dinner by myself."

Not allowing to ask is the same as allowing for investigation. Zhuang Rui understood the meaning according to his own thoughts.

"Well, I won't ask."

He took the opportunity to put his arm around his brother's shoulder and made his request without any respect for his elder brother.

"I heard that a new restaurant opened in the western suburbs, but it's packed. Big brother, you're treating us, but you need to pay more money before you can wait for a seat..."

As the two brothers talked, they went around the back door and got back into the carriage.

Before the busy official hours, Qin Hongzhong came to Tinghetai to deal with the case of the Qiu couple.

In order to prevent Mur Chen from interfering, he followed Ning Yunxi's teachings and told Gu Mengzhen about the matter.

As expected, upon hearing that Zhuang Wei was in trouble, Gu Mengzhen ordered the secret guards to take action and quietly end the lives of the Qiu couple. The case was quickly concluded and it was a conspiracy by the enemy, but it ended so hastily.

The golden sun shines brightly, the courtyard of Yuexi Mansion is full of colorful flowers.

Ning Yunxi got off the carriage and passed through the courtyard. She saw a familiar figure standing in the front hall. He was elegant and graceful, more majestic and upright than a green bamboo.

"Big brother!"

Ning Yunxi smiled sweetly and walked hurriedly into the front hall.

Hearing the sound of the brook trickling, Ning Fengzhe turned around and faced it, smiling happily.

"Xi'er, come here."

Ning Yunxi pretended to be casual and glanced around, and found that her brother was the only one in the front hall.

Knowing his intention, she looked around carefully, made sure everything was alright, and then closed the door.

Ning Yunxi smiled innocently, and intentionally or unintentionally, stayed very close to her older brother.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me about your return to Beijing? I was really rude for not being able to welcome you from afar."

Seeing that his little sister was acting coquettishly, Ning Fengzhe couldn't help but smile with warmth, just like before.

"Feng Yihe came to look for me for no reason. In a hurry, I didn't have time to tell Master Xie and erase all traces, so I took a shortcut down the mountain. Then I thought it would be better not to tell anyone, so as to avoid the masters from accidentally revealing their true identity when facing Feng Yihe. Therefore, I hurried back to the capital and came here in secret to meet you first."

Hearing the word "come first", Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with sweetness and her face blossomed.

"If that's the case, big brother must have a plan in mind, has he already made a plan?"

Ning Fengzhe reached into his sleeve, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and showed them to her.

"While we were waiting, I wrote down the key steps and will give them to you to review when you return home."

Ning Yunxi nodded obediently and took it with both hands.

"Yes, thank you, big brother."

After the polite words, she perked up her spirits, lowered her eyes to read, analyzed each word, and pondered secretly.

After a long time, she finished reading and looked at her elder brother, showing a little surprise.

"Big brother, your handwriting is correct?"

"You will not participate in this plan at all?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'll help you hold Feng Yihe back and make sure this plan goes smoothly without any hindrance."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a little inferior and was unsure about asking questions.

"Is there any omission in the plan?"

Ning Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at her brother, expressing her admiration.

"From what I have seen, there is nothing wrong with it. It is indeed a brilliant plan."

Ning Fengzhe looked at her and smiled.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Ning Yunxi avoided the sight at the right time, lowered her eyes, and her eyes contrasted beautifully with the sunset glow outside the window.

"I have some doubts in my heart. What is the meaning of my elder brother staying out of this matter?"

Ning Fengzhe did not even look away, his expression was solemn and stern.

"Rather than saying that I am holding Feng Yihe back, it's better to say that I am holding myself back so that you can carry out your plan without any worries..."

Having said this, he leaned down slightly, looking at her at eye level, his eyes particularly firm.

"It also allows you to trust me."

Ning Yunxi's eyes were like pearls and her face was like rosy clouds, becoming more and more dazzling.

"I, of course, trust you."

She gazed at her brother, her feathery eyelashes conveying her feelings, soft and delicate.

"But Lord Du..."

Ning Fengzhe was confused by what he heard.

"Master Du?"

"Which Lord Du? Why do you suddenly mention Lord Du?"

Thinking about what her fourth sister had said, Ning Yunxi asked tentatively, thinking about what was hidden in her words.

"It is the Minister Du."

"Before leaving, my elder brother only left a plan for me to persuade Lord Xu to come back, but how could he forget about Lord Du who is so important?"

Ning Fengzhe looked puzzled.

"Why is it so important?"

Ning Yunxi answered bluntly.

"Of course it's important to have feelings."

Ning Fengzhe stared in amazement and frowned.

"Me? To be in love with her?"

He thought back to the past, pondered it carefully, and soon came to his senses. He felt helpless and smiled bitterly.

"Is Wei'er talking nonsense?"

Ning Yunxi was a little surprised.

"Is it really nonsense?"

Ning Fengzhe answered confidently, without any sign of guilt.

"It is indeed out of thin air."

Ning Yunxi had already guessed what was going on during this period of time, so she was not too surprised.

She stands gracefully, with a hint of drizzle in the air, and orchid-colored makeup on the corners of her lips, her face as white as clouds, and she is intoxicated by her beauty.

"Then may I ask, big brother, who do you trust?"

Such a question caught Ning Fengzhe off guard, his brows turned confused and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.

"I……"

His smile was slightly embarrassed, and he asked instead of answering.

"Why do you ask that?"

Ning Yunxi's eyelashes rustled, her face was as flawless as a young lotus bud, and she twirled the corner of her clothes with her slender fingers, seeming a little uneasy.

"I have a lot of random thoughts, I just hope they will be resolved."

Ning Fengzhe understood what he meant, and he looked at her tenderly, his lips involuntarily filled with a sweet feeling.

"There is no need to elaborate on my concerns."

"Xi'er, thank you for never leaving me in my previous life. In this life, it's my turn to walk towards you."

Ning Yunxi was stunned at first when she heard that, and then she was moved to tears. Her heart was so overwhelmed that she threw herself into his arms.

"Brother, you are so kind!"
