Chapter 658 Tong'er, Very Different
After the conversation, Mi Yao left; Lan Tong instructed the kitchen to heat up the food.
Not long after, Ning Hanwang woke up slowly.
"I... fell asleep?"
Mi Yao used the medicine without leaving any traces. Lan Tong knew what was going on, so he tried to coax her.
"Well, when Wanglang took a nap, you woke up before I could call the servants to help you lie down on the bed."
"I think it's because you are busy with housework and your body is tired?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Hanwang's expression suddenly became gloomy.
"I am really exhausted physically and mentally from all the hardships I have experienced."
Lan Tong set the table and served some food to him.
"If you are worried or distressed, talk to someone and you will feel relieved."
"If you can trust me, I hope you can tell me."
"But please rest assured, I will keep this a secret and will not tell anyone else."
Ning Hanwang held his forehead and gently rubbed his temples.
"My sorrow and resentment are no longer a secret. There is no harm in spreading it. I can talk about it."
Lan Tong picked up his chopsticks and handed them over with both hands.
"Please try to explain it."
Ning Hanwang took the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish she picked up, and then spoke softly.
"I have devoted almost everything to my wife and never complained. I have also endured hardships and never slacked off for a single day in caring for the Emperor."
"From the beginning till now, I have always believed that a harmonious family is a happy one."
"Who would have thought that Emperor Yue's biological father was not me; the lady chose to marry me out of no affection, but only to use me."
"I just treated him as my own son and was played around by them for thirty years."
"In the end, the lady said that I deserved it..."
She has blue eyes and a small cherry mouth. She eats her meal slowly and calmly, with a graceful and graceful manner.
"Although I am dull, I can still understand your pain."
"But I think that everything has two sides. Why don't you think optimistically? Maybe you won't be sad anymore."
Ning Han looked down in confusion.
"How can I think positively about such a tragic event?"
Lan Tong stopped using his chopsticks, spoke his mind slowly and tried to comfort the woman earnestly.
"As long as one has no regrets in life, that's enough."
"You are sincere and love them mother and son. Even if you are betrayed, you are not wrong."
"Why should you be sad when you have done nothing wrong? The one who should be sad and guilty is the evil person, not you."
"God's fate is always fair. Don't linger in pain. You should believe that after going through the storm, you will see a rainbow."
"Nothing comes easy. All the suffering you endure is for the sake of being qualified to reap happiness in the future. This is the law of nature and a path that everyone must go through."
Ning Han looked into her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them.
"I didn't expect that you know so much at such a young age."
"After your explanation, I feel much better."
Lan Tong smiled shyly.
"It's my honor to be able to share Wanglang's worries."
Ning Han looked at it with some interest and continued to ask questions.
"According to what you said, I shouldn't be sad, so what should I do?"
Blue eyes and clear face, dancing mulberry leaves and swaying willow branches.
"Through the thorns, the treasures are as precious as brocade."
"You should look back on the past and sum up your experience; look forward to the future and improve your abilities. Only by weaving this 'brocade of thorns' into a gorgeous and extraordinary brocade robe can you reap a brilliant life."
Ning Hanwang had no hope for the beauty he got unexpectedly from Prince Di Jin, but he never expected that she turned out to be a rare treasure.
He couldn't help but look at her with admiration and took the initiative to pick up some food for her.
"Tong'er, that makes sense."
"You are very different from others."
Lan Tong lowered his eyes in shame.
"All living things are ordinary beings, so how can they be different?"
Ning Hanwang praised sincerely.
"You are very different, very pure, very kind, and not lacking in intelligence and reason."
Blue eyes, pink cheeks, and beautiful appearance.
"I hope you will appreciate my compliments. I only know a few words of comfort. To be honest, I am not good at anything."
The beauty is in bud, fresh and quiet, and Ning Hanwang is gradually fascinated by her.
"I am really sorry that I cannot marry you."
Lan Tong raised her eyes slightly and smiled at him.
"A marriage certificate and a wedding ceremony are not that important to me."
"In my opinion, it's enough for you and I to stay together and love each other."
Ning Hanwang liked her more and more.
"Tong'er, you are too sensible."
The blue pupils narrowed again.
"How can I be sensible? I just follow my emotions."
Ning Hanwang put down his chopsticks and held up her hands.
"I am so in love with you that I want to give you everything."
Lan Tong asked speculatingly.
"Wang Lang, are you saying that you want me to choose something as a token of our love?"
In the face of love, Ning Hanwang almost lost his mind.
"No."
"Feng'er and Wei'er mentioned your position in the mansion. I originally thought that I couldn't bear to hurt Madam. Now I think about it, I can't let you suffer."
“So I insist on going on the list…”
Lan Tong was alarmed and stopped him from talking.
"I can't hope for you."
Ning Han was stunned and confused.
"Why not?"
"Don't you want me to love you wholeheartedly?"
Lan Tong shook his head.
"do not wish."
In his entire life, Ning Hanwang had never met such a special woman. He cherished her but was also puzzled.
"But why?"
"Don't all women in the harem want to be the only one to be loved by their beloved man?"
Lan Tong withdrew his hands, slowly stood up, paced back and forth, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke out his thoughts.
"This is a selfish thought, I don't want it."
"I humbly believe that love is all about giving, not asking for anything in return. There is no need for demands or scheming. Giving to each other comes naturally, and then there is mutual reward."
"Wang Lang has always been praised for his honesty. Previously, he was unfortunately accused of 'favoring his concubine over his wife', which slightly damaged his reputation. Now, if he is accused of 'favoring his concubine over his wife', I'm afraid he will lose all his prestige."
"I understand you, because you are pursuing pure love, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, there are good and evil people in this world, and those who have not experienced your suffering and know you may not understand you, and may use random words to slander you."
"I don't want my beloved to suffer like that."
"Besides, I came to the mansion not to fight with my wife about the family house, but just for us to be happy and worry-free, spend our lives together, and grow old together."
Ning Hanwang then got up from his seat and stayed beside her, listening attentively and speaking from the heart.
"Tong'er, you are a pure person, I am not worthy of you."
"I only regret that I didn't meet you earlier."
"If I were unmarried and you were unmarried, and we were of similar age, I would be a good match for you, and that would be acceptable."
Walking to the window, Lan Tong closed the window, turned around, and met his eyes. There was a tender expression between her eyebrows.
"I hope you are excellent, so don't underestimate yourself."
Ning Hanwang was depressed and felt a little inferior.
"When I was young, I may have been excellent, but now I am old and weak."
The slender fingers with blue eyes slid down the collar of his clothes.
"I hope you will be strong and healthy, and never be weak in your work."
"I like."
Ning Hanwang understood and unconsciously raised one corner of his mouth.
"Little thing, you are talking nonsense and acting all sorts of ways, deliberately trying to trick me into loving you."
Lan Tong threw herself into his arms, feeling sad and heartbroken.
"Wang Lang, are you unwilling?"
Ning Hanwang picked her up gently, covered her lips with kisses, and walked towards the bed.
"If I don't want to, why would I welcome you into the house?"
"It's very beautiful to watch the scenery of Yunshan with you."
