Chapter 626 Fortunately, I have you
Recalling the good old days, Ning Fengzhe opened a brocade box, took out Qin Ziyu's gold hairpin, and looked at it carefully.
"When I gain control of the world, I will devise a plan to break away from the Ning family."
"Or find a way to have Xi'er change her nationality and name."
"When you have power, you will always find a way."
"When Xi'er leaves Gu Nianting and King Di Jin, I will give her the golden hairpin. When she sees it, she will understand my feelings."
Wen Jia's eyes fell on Qin Ziyu's gold hairpin, and he was filled with emotion.
"Remember this golden hairpin? It was made for Madam Yuexi when the master first took office as the Minister of the Ministry of Secret Affairs."
"I thought I would be able to give it to you soon, but I never expected that after several years, it is still stored in the brocade box."
"Isn't it sad that the master is so sincere?"
Ning Fengzhe kept reminding himself that he didn't want Xier's reputation to be damaged.
"In the former case, she is the wife of Prince Chen; in the latter case, Prince Dijin is interested in her and took her into his backyard under the pretext of sworn brotherhood."
"I can't make Xi'er feel embarrassed, let alone harm her and let her bear the stigma of having an affair."
"I will not give you the golden hairpin until everything is settled."
Although Wen Jia has heard this many times, he never feels tired of it.
"Master, your selfless dedication has deeply touched me."
Ning Fengzhe put the gold hairpin back in its place and kept it carefully.
"How can I be selfless? She and I give to each other."
"You also know that Xi'er is kind, but over the years, she has done everything for me and almost lost her nature."
"If we really talk about selflessness, it is she who gives more."
Wen Jia thought about it for a moment and analyzed it.
"Madam Yuexi, under the influence of the fragrant incense and the friendship of sworn brothers, is still willing to work together with the master to eliminate dissidents."
"In my humble opinion, Madam Yuexi has some feelings for me, and she is definitely not without any feelings."
"Maybe, when things change, she will accept the master."
Ning Fengzhe was surprised to hear this.
"really?"
"Do you really think so?"
"But you didn't say that before."
Wen Jia revealed his innermost thoughts and spoke freely.
"I see things differently, so of course my subordinates have changed their minds."
"After careful observation, I firmly believe that there may be a turning point."
"I think the effect of the fragrant medicine is gradually fading. Madam Yuexi, seeing how much the master has paid, she is deeply moved."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were filled with joy.
"It makes sense."
"I accept your good words."
"I hope that my three beloved nephews will not object then."
I always remember the master's health, Wen Jiafu asked.
"Now, Master, should you feel like eating?"
Ning Fengzhe asked with a faint smile.
"Ran Er sisters, have you had lunch yet?"
Wen Jia answered.
"Maybe not."
At this time, the servant reported: "The eldest lady wants to see you."
Ning Fengzhe immediately agreed to meet him, and asked Wen Jia to go to the kitchen and ordered him to add more dishes.
Gu Xinran walked into the room.
"My nephew Gu Xinran respectfully wishes my uncle good health."
Ning Fengzhe gave him a false helping hand.
"Why do you have to go through such a grand ceremony? Please stand up and take a seat."
Gu Xinran looked up and smiled sweetly at him.
"Thank you, uncle."
Ning Fengzhe sat upright.
"If you are so attentive, you must be asking for something."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Gu Xinran was meticulous and reported everything truthfully.
"My two sisters were unreasonable. I didn't ask my uncle for his opinion and made them kneel on my own initiative. I'm here to apologize."
Ning Fengzhe was frowning and worried.
"what happened?"
"How are they unreasonable?"
Gu Xinran was polite and respectful in his response.
"Reporting to my uncle, they just kept crying and missing our father. They misunderstood my uncle and deliberately prevented us from meeting each other."
Ning Fengzhe gave up his own image and pleaded for his beloved nephew.
"They are not wrong. I have always told you that your uncle is a bad man and does not want you to meet your parents."
Gu Xinran told the truth with a serious expression.
"My eldest uncle is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to blame my father for abandoning his wife and daughter. Moreover, my uncle values his family and couldn't bear to comment on my mother's focus on the government."
"I know very well that my uncle is willing to call himself a bad guy because he is afraid that we will be disappointed and don't want us to suffer and think that our father and mother don't want us anymore."
Ning Fengzhe was secretly shocked when she pointed it out to him, but he still acted sinister as usual on the surface.
"Ah."
"What Guan'er said is correct. You just misunderstood."
Gu Xinran's eyes were calm and he remained unmoved.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I already understood what my uncle was thinking."
"I cooperated with the play and kept my mouth shut because there was nothing important to do and I was just playing with my uncle."
"Now, the opportunity is here and we should face reality."
"Could it be that Uncle wants to play around like this for the rest of his life?"
Ning Fengzhe was unable to react and stood there in a daze.
"How can you...see through my heart?"
Gu Xinran smiled helplessly, and there was no childishness in his words and actions.
"is it hard?"
"You and I have been together for many years and we already know each other."
"It shouldn't be difficult to see through my uncle's mind."
"My two sisters are young and inevitably ignorant. Uncle, don't worry. I will teach them well."
Ning Fengzhe was unsure and asked weakly.
"Ran'er, do you have no hatred towards me in your heart?"
Gu Xinran's smile was gentle, like the rippling water lily.
"My uncle is very caring and treats us like his own daughters. I am extremely grateful and do not harbor any hatred towards him."
"But please, uncle, don't just carry it all by yourself when things go wrong. When I grow up, I can share the burden with you."
After hearing this, Ning Fengzhe burst into tears.
"Good boy, thank you..."
Gu Xinran hurried over, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped her uncle's tears.
"Uncle, don't cry. I feel bad for you."
Ning Fengzhe grasped her wrist tightly through her sleeve, his heart aching and all the ice and snow melted away.
"But I don't know that no one in the world understands me."
"Luckily, I have you."
When she looked into his eyes, Gu Xinran's face was filled with dew and her smile remained the same.
"When I first ate a hot meal, my father and mother were not there. It was my eldest uncle who accompanied me."
"At that time, I also thought, fortunately, I have you."
Ning Fengzhe helped her up and sat down together.
"You are so sweet."
Thinking of his beloved nephew, he calmed down a little and asked softly.
"However, the punishment should not be too severe. Please tell the waiter to tell my sister to be exempted from the punishment of kneeling."
Gu Xinran smiled complacently.
"Don't worry, uncle. I know you must be worried. Before you come, I will forgive you."
Ning Fengzhe was worried.
“We also need to summon a female doctor to carefully examine their knees to see if there are any injuries.”
Gu Xinran pursed her lips.
"My uncle is overly worried. They only knelt for a short while. They won't get hurt."
"My uncle is too strict. I'm afraid they will raise objections again."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were full of doting and he no longer concealed it.
"Okay, okay, I don't care."
Gu Xinran got back to the business of the good opportunity.
"I have a plan to help my uncle achieve great things."
Ning Fengzhe frowned seriously.
"You are still young, so don't get involved in the political affairs. Stay out of it and you will have peace."
Gu Xinran handled the situation with ease.
"Then I'll change my words. I have something to tell you, uncle. Please listen to me."
Ning Fengzhe was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Little smart guy, there's really nothing I can do with you."
