Chapter 504: Being a Concubine
The moonlight is like silver, sprinkling on the windowsill, making Liu Yan's lonely waiting look particularly sad.
She waited like this until midnight, but still did not see the master.
What is he busy with?
Why are you taking so long to come?
Have you forgotten her?
They have been separated for a long time, doesn't he miss her?
While thinking, Liu Yan was almost in tears, but suddenly she heard the voice of "Aunt Liu", and she calmed down.
"Bong-chul?"
"Why are you here? It's late at night, why are you still awake?"
Ning Fengzhe rubbed his eyes, looked tired, and pushed the door and walked into the guest room.
"I had a nightmare and woke up scared. I was afraid to be alone, so I wanted Aunt Liu to accompany me."
Seeing that he had disheveled hair, was wrapped in an outer coat, and was a little untidy, Liu Yan walked over and tidied up his appearance.
"Fengzhe, don't be afraid. Aunt Liu is here, and the creatures in the nightmare will never dare to get close to you."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were lazy and a little sleepy, and his tone was dreamy, just like the babbling of a baby.
"Could it be that you are comparing yourself to an evil-repelling fairy?"
"It is said that the Evil-Repelling Immortal is a fierce and evil-looking being whose face is enough to drive away demons."
"Aunt Liu is naturally beautiful, how can she ward off evil spirits? This metaphor is not quite appropriate."
Seeing his lovely appearance, Liu Yan smiled happily.
"You are so sweet."
Ning Fengzhe pursed his lips and denied it in a coquettish manner.
"To tell the truth, not to sweeten the mouth."
Liu Yan echoed and led him to sit down.
"Okay, okay, whatever Master Ning says is right."
"I heard that Xianyiju is very close to Beitangju. Why did you go so far to come find me?"
Ning Fengzhe's facial expressions were very lifelike, sometimes happy, sometimes disgusted, and seemed sincere.
"Aunt Liu is young, beautiful, virtuous and kind, and we get along well. She is old, ugly, hypocritical and sinister, and I don't like her."
Having said this, he took the opportunity to say something funny.
"But when it comes to warding off evil spirits, she's suitable."
Liu Yan couldn't help laughing and covered her lips with her hands.
"Don't talk nonsense, kid."
"As a son, you should not slander your mother like this."
Ning Fengzhe denied it again.
"Telling the truth, not slandering."
He connects with people in a timely manner and leads to down-to-earth matters.
"By the way, where's my father? I think the three of us can keep each other company, appreciate the moon together, and forget the nightmare."
When talking about this, Liu Yan felt lost.
"My Lord, it's not here with me."
Ning Fengzhe was confused and expressed some doubts.
"Ok?"
"He clearly said that he would come to accompany you after he had coaxed the lady. I told him again and again not to forget it. He should have remembered it and would not break his promise."
Liu Yan was stunned, and Ran Xu felt a little heartbroken.
"Coax the lady?"
"Did the lord really say that?"
Ning Fengzhe nodded and stated the facts with greater sincerity.
"Yes. They seemed to have had a quarrel, and my father regretted his mistake and rushed to apologize. Even the dinner that was originally scheduled was cancelled. I thought that my father had arranged for Aunt Liu to stay, so he put the reunion on hold. I didn't expect that he was not here."
After finishing the story, he did not forget to stand on Liu Yan's side, feeling indignant.
"Humph, father disrespected Aunt Liu and didn't keep his word. I will bring him to justice tomorrow morning when he pays respects."
Liu Yan had no suspicion and instead gave advice.
"Don't offend your father for me."
She lowered her eyes, and her weariness was completely replaced by lingering bitterness.
"The Duke and his wife are probably very loving. Perhaps I shouldn't have come."
The candlelight reflected in his eyes, making them sparkle brightly, and Ning Fengzhe's relieved expression was particularly innocent.
"I don't know them. I only know that Aunt Liu and I hit it off right away. We've known each other for nearly a year. She loves me very much. She bought me toys, clothes, and gave me money to support my expenses. Her kindness is so great that I have no way to repay her."
"Aunt Liu, I want to be your family. When will you come to the mansion?"
Liu Yan slowly raised her eyes and met his gaze. A warm feeling slowly seeped out from the corners of her eyes.
"I also want to be with you, but Master..."
Ning Fengzhe patted his chest and made a false promise.
"I'll come and persuade my father."
He did not pause and quickly moved on to the next step.
"Aunt Liu, I'm thirsty. Can you give me a glass of water?"
With his company, Liu Yan no longer felt lonely, her mood improved and she smiled slightly.
"it is good."
She poured him some water and handed it to him, her eyes full of joy. She kept looking at him, caring and looking after him, like a parent and child.
"Drink slowly, don't choke."
Ning Fengzhe took the cup and took a few sips.
"Yes, thank you Aunt Liu."
A blush suddenly appeared at the corners of his mouth, and in an instant, a burst of bright red broke through Ning Fengzhe's misty lips and fell to the ground.
Liu Yan was startled and stood up immediately.
"Fongzhe, what's wrong with you? This water..."
She reacted quickly and regained a bit of her composure.
"Which guest room is the doctor in the mansion in?"
Ning Fengzhe held his stomach, unable to reply, with a look of pain on his face.
"It's just... not far away..."
Liu Yan made the decision without hesitation.
"Okay, you show me the way and I'll carry you."
The doctor in the guest room opposite was Chen Hu.
After taking the pulse, Chen Hu told Liu Yan that the food the eldest master had just consumed was mixed with harmful substances. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Fengzhe had just woken up and had only drunk that cup of tea.
Liu Yan realized something was wrong and asked Dr. Chen to help take care of Fengzhe while she went back to the house to check.
Sure enough, the tea set was replaced with a new one and the red marks had been wiped off.
Liu Yan was in a state of panic and a little scared.
If Fengzhe hadn't arrived unexpectedly and the night was long, I would most likely have drunk tea.
I am alone here and I don't know where the doctor is. If something happens to me, you can imagine the consequences.
Madam Ning, can't you tolerate me?
If you really mind, just chase him away. Why must you be so cruel?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the master does not favor her. It is very likely that she used a trick to force the master to stay tonight.
Thinking of this, Liu Yan came up with an idea.
Since she did the evil first, don't blame me for being rude.
The next morning, Liu Yan, on the pretext of being ill, successfully lured Ning Hanwang to her place and made him his concubine.
Mu Rong knew what she was thinking, so she treated her well and didn't disturb her.
This virtuous act came so suddenly that Liu Yan was caught off guard. She couldn't help but start to suspect that the tea last night might not have been tampered with by her madam.
Ning Hanwang arranged for Liu Yan to live in Wangyouju.
Mu Rong came to visit her in person and brought her the right medicine based on her condition. She was even considerate enough to give her some painkillers, fearing that Liu Yan would suffer a little.
Seeing that the lady was so thoughtful and did not seem to be hypocritical, Liu Yan confessed what happened last night and discussed with her who did it.
Mu Rong naturally would not doubt her beloved son. After a little thought, she quickly came to a conclusion.
"Could it be, Pan?"
Liu Yan looked confused.
"Who is Pan?"
Mu Rong briefly introduced the person and emphasized that this was a secret and could not be disclosed to any third party.
After hearing this, Liu Yan suddenly understood.
"This woman has bad intentions. She obviously wants to cause a fight between you and me so that she can reap the benefits."
Mu Rong strongly agreed.
"Sister Liu is right."
Liu Yan shook hands with her and made peace.
"Madam, I am at fault. I am really sorry for you."
"You two are in love, and I shouldn't have interfered."
Mu Rong was smiling and graceful.
"Sister Liu was being plotted against and had no choice. I can totally understand that."
"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. From now on, we are a family and should live in harmony."
Liu Yan treated him with all her heart and was fully convinced.
"I am a humble concubine. Thank you Madam for taking me in."
